It was a very special day for Kazuya and Jun, who had been happily married for quite a few years now. Even through the rough times with Kazuya and Heihachi nearly killing each other, Kazuya and Jun had been in love ever since the day Jun tried to arrest him at the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2 and they had wild animal relations on his desk. Even after he was announced dead, Jun never stopped waiting for him. When he finally came back, the two of them got married the first chance they could get and vowed to always be together even through the hard times of family conflict and strife. Jun never left his side, and Kazuya protected and stayed faithful to her in return. That sacred day which signified their bond was today.
"Hey Juuuun! Did you remember to get Face Pounders 57 on Pay Per View?" Kazuya called out. "You know Bruce is the main event tonight!"
"Yes, dear. You can watch your little kickboxing bouts while I cook and clean and do all the other chores." Jun replied, rolling her eyes.
"Aw cmon baby, I promised Bruce I'd bet on him tonight and give him 50% of my winnings!" Kazuya replied. "Plus, his apprentice is making her professional Muay Thai debut tonight."
"Oh, that Filipino girl?"
"Yeah, the one with the nice tits."
"Kazuya!"
"Oh, sorry. I was supposed to just think that one."
"Ugh..."
Jun was extremely irritated this afternoon, and it wasn't because she was cooking dinner and doing laundry at the same time. No, it was a much deeper and personal reason. It wasn't her though; it was indeed Kazuya that was the source of her anger. She was trying not to bring it up in hopes that he might remember, but she was quickly getting impatient.
"So when does your show come on?" Jun called out.
"Ah, it's around 10 or so." Kazuya replied. "Right now, there's nothing on."
"Well in that case... maybe we could talk for a-"
But before Jun could finish her sentence, the door swung open and in walked Jun and Asuka after a long day at school.
"Guh, this college crap is getting hard." Jin grumbled.
"Hey Aunt Jun, hey Uncle Kazuya." Asuka greeted. "Mind if I do my homework with Jin?"
"Of course sweetie. Stay as long as you want. Not like there's anything ELSE going on tonight..." Jun grumbled, looking at Kazuya in hopes that he would get the message.
"Just a heads up, Xiaoyu's probably gonna come around trying to sell chocolate for a fundraiser or some crap." Jin said as the two of them ran upstairs.
"I'll keep my spray bottle handy." Kazuya snickered.
Once she got dinner in the oven, Jun plopped onto the couch next to Kazuya with a loud sigh. She was quite exhausted, and the anger she was trying to contain only served to further fatigue her.
"Whew... thanks for the help there, DEAR." Jun snapped.
"Don't mention it." Kazuya retorted.
The two of them sat in silence for a few minutes, the anger and tension quite apparent. Kazuya knew Jun was mad about something, and there was one thing Jun didn't know... he knew what she was mad ABOUT.
"Soooo... whatcha got cookin, my little rice cake?" Kazuya asked, attempting to kiss Jun on the cheek. Unfortunately, she wasn't in the mood for cutesy stuff and she shot back to her feet.
"You'll find out when I pull it out of the oven." Jun replied, her voice quite unpleasant.
"Sheesh... is it your woman time or something?"
"Ughhh! I can't believe you!"
Before Jun could really give Kazuya a piece of her mind, there was a knock at the door. Since she was already up, Jun decided to answer it.
"Hi, Mrs. Jun!" Xiaoyu said with a big smile. "I'm selling chocolate to help raise money for-"
"I DON'T GIVE A FLYING PANDA SHIT!" Jun screamed and slammed the door in Xiaoyu's face.
"O...okay..." a muffled voice stammered on the other side.
"Yeesh, that was harsh." Kazuya said.
"YOU SHUT UP!" Jun yelled. She put her hands on her hips and started to stomp upstairs.
"Hey, where you going?" Kazuya asked.
"I'm going to take a nap! YOU are in charge of taking dinner out of the oven! If you want a good meal, then I suggest you don't burn it!" That last line was followed by a slamming door.
"But... but I don't know what time to pull it out!" Kazuya whined. "Ah screw it. Time to put an end to this shit... or start something else entirely."
If there was one thing Kazuya didn't like, it was an angry Jun. With that in mind, he decided that maybe it would be a good idea to not hold things off any longer. Getting to his feet, he began to enact his devious plan.
"Okay...step 1 is already complete. We got my favorite meal in the oven, heh heh. Now to clear out the unwanted guests..."
He quietly made his way upstairs as not to disturb Jun and tiptoed to Jin's bedroom. He didn't even bother to knock as he swung open the door and startled the two, who were on the bed with their eyes focused on their books.
"Okay kids, you've overstayed your welcome. Bye!" Kazuya said with a wave.
"Wh-what the hell are you talking about? We've gotta finish this homework!" Jin replied.
"Pssssh... can't you kids do that homework shit another day? Go to a party or go smoke some strange concoction like you youngsters do nowadays."
"I'm telling Aunt Jun you're being a bad influence." Asuka said.
"NOOO! Look, just take some money and go catch a movie." Kazuya said, pulling out his wallet. "As a matter of fact, just take my whole damn wallet!"
Kazuya threw the wallet at Jin, who just barely managed to catch it. As soon as he had the wallet, Kazuya snatched up Jin and Asuka by their shirts and carried them downstairs all the way to the door.
"Okay, you two behave now! Don't do anything I wouldn't do! And uh... don't do anything I WOULD do either..."
"But-"
Kazuya opened the door, pushed them out and slammed it quickly. With a loud sigh, he smiled and chuckled evilly.
"Perfect... now for the next step."
Before Kazuya went back upstairs, he stopped to make a tiny prayer. This next part may very well be the death of him.
"God...I know I'm an evil asshole with a demon inside me... but PLEASE grant me protection for what I'm about to do to my wife."
With a deep breath, a gulp, and silently counting to ten, Kazuya made his way upstairs to his bedroom and slowly opened the door.
"Jun? Honey?" he whispered softly. Jun was curled up and snuggling with her pillow as she breathed softly. Kazuya quietly walked over to her and scooped her up in his arms. As soon as she was lifted, she immediately stirred.
"Uhnnnnn... Kazuya...? What are you...?"
"Shhh... it's okay sweetie. Just relax."
Kazuya carried Jun downstairs, silently cursing himself for what he was about to do. It made him even more guilty when Jun tightened her grip and nuzzled his chest with a happy sigh. She was so cute...
"Kazuya? Where are we going baby?" Jun asked when she noticed Kazuya walk PAST the couch and towards the door.
"K-Kazuya?"
Kazuya opened the door.
"K-KAZUYA! HEY!"
Kazuya placed Jun on the front lawn and quickly ran back inside, slamming the door shut and locking it,
Jun sat there for a moment, eyes wide and mouth open, as she processed what just happened. The initial shock, confusion, and realization lasted for a couple of minutes until it was finally replaced by burning anger.
"KAZUYAAAAA! THIS IS NOT THE DAY TO BE PLAYING PRANKS!" Jun screamed. She stormed up to the door and started beating on it as hard as she could.
"YOU HAVE ALREADY PISSED ME OFF ENOUGH TODAY! I'VE WAITED AND WAITED AND WAITED FOR YOU TO SAY SOMETHING! WELL NOW I'M TIRED OF WAITING! FIRST YOU FORGET WHAT DAY THIS IS AND NOW YOU LOCK ME OUT OF THE HOUSE?! YOU ARE TRULY THE BIGGEST ASSHOLE TO EVER EXIST!"
"Love you too!" Kazuya called out.
Kazuya quickly moved around the kitchen and prepared, all the while trying to drown out the pounding on the door. He felt REALLY bad for what he did, but he knew it would all be worth it in the end. He just hummed loudly in an attempt to forget that his wife was locked out and trying desperately to break the door down and kick his ass.
After about 20 minutes passed, the pounding finally stopped. Maybe Jun had gotten tired or her hands were sore. Or perhaps she finally got angry and left to go get a hotel. No, it couldn't be that... she didn't have any money on her. Perhaps Kazuya's worst fears were realized and Jun decided to move in with his rich brother Lee! With this horrible thought in his head, Kazuya was only further fueled to hurry up and set things right.
"Okay, house is clean... table looks good... GAH! THE OVEN!"
Kazuya quickly opened the oven and snatched out Jun's prized chicken, plopping it onto the counter.
"Uhhh...ummm... SOY SAUCE!"
Kazuya grabbed the soy sauce out of the pantry. Quickly removing the lid, he dumped it all over the chicken until it was drenched.
"Ha! Looking good. Hmmm... RICE!"
Luckily rice was one thing that was nearly impossible to screw up, so Kazuya quickly got to work boiling a huge pot of sticky white rice. While he was at it, he decided to boil some shrimp to throw in there.
While the food cooked, Kazuya decided to peep out the window to make sure Jun was still there. Sure enough, she was just sitting on the front porch with her head in her hands. It nearly broke Kazuya's heart when he saw her sobbing. It took every ounce of his willpower not to kick the door down, scoop her up and kiss her sadness away.
"Gah... how could I be so evil? Aghh, get it together man! You've done worse stuff than this!"
After a while, the sun started to go down and Jun was getting quite cold. Deciding she had had enough, she got to her feet and once again approached the door.
"Okay Kazuya. You've had your fun. You've ruined this day enough already without making me sleep out here tonight... so let me IN!"
Jun slammed her shoulder against the door.
"Let me IN!"
Jun slammed herself once again against the door. Deciding to use her martial arts skills, she closed her eyes and prepared for a devastating roundhouse kick.
"I said... LET. ME. IIIIIIN!"
But just as Jun threw her kick, the door swung open and her foot connected with Kazuya's chest instead.
"OOF!"
Jun gasped as soon as she saw Kazuya hit the floor. The fact that she even bothered to worry about him after what he had done proved just what a kindhearted and compassionate person she was.
"Kazuya honey, I'm sorry! Are you okay?"
"No it's okay... I deserve it." Kazuya groaned.
"Yes, you do." Jun agreed.
"Can we eat now?"
"That depends. Did you burn our chicken?"
"Go to the kitchen and find out,"
"Oh, so I can come inside now?"
"Just go! Arrgh!"
Jun closed the door and made her way to the kitchen while Kazuya slowly recovered from the powerful kick that nearly broke his sternum. As soon as she saw what had been laid out, her eyes widened:
The lights were dim, cherry blossoms scattered all over the table. A scented candle rested in the middle right beside the baked chicken and rice. A bottle of sake sat right beside two full cups.
"K-Kazuya..."
"Happy anniversary." Kazuya whispered, planting a kiss on her cheek and slipping something in her pocket. Jun quickly fished around in her pocket and pulled out a gold ring with a diamond as huge as a golf ball.
"My God... this is for me..?!"
"Yeah, I spared no expense. And YES I got it legally!"
"Oh Kazzy!"
Jun leaped into Kazuya's arms and nearly suffocated him with a tight squeeze, the tears pouring from her eyes.
"OH I LOVE YOU! I KNEW YOU WOULDN'T FORGET!"
"Yeah... thanks for having... faith in... me..." Kazuya choked out.
"This is perfect... oh thank you Kazzy. I love you."
"Yeah yeah. Let's eat already!"
After a kickass dinner followed by a very large consumption of sake, Kazuya and Jun collapsed on the couch in each others' arms. They both laid there for a while in silence, just enjoying each others' company.
Finally Kazuya spoke.
"Sooo... what did you get me?"
"Oh, I was supposed to get YOU something?"
"You're kidding, right?!"
"Maybe. Wait here."
Jun got off the couch and hurried upstairs, Kazuya on the edge of his seat in excitement. But his face turned to horror when he saw what Jun was carrying in her arms when she came back.
"AHHH! I'M SORRY! I SWEAR I WON'T LOCK YOU OUT OF THE HOUSE AGAIN!"
"Relax, baby. It's your gift!" Jun replied with a giggle.
It was a katana with a black handle, encrusted with gold as well as the black sheath. Even sheathed Kazuya could tell it was a magnificent weapon.
"Cmon, pull it out!"
Kazuya took the katana and drew it slowly and delicately. The blade was forged with Damascus steel and shone brilliantly in the light. The edge was razor sharp, sharp enough to cleave the very air.
"Whoaaaaa... this is AMAZING!" Kazuya laughed. "I'm totally gonna kill Heihachi with this!"
"Ummmm... please be responsible with it dear. Otherwise I'll have to take it from you." Jun warned. With a smile, Kazuya put it back in the sheath and set it aside. He brought Jun in for a tight hug.
"Thank you so much baby. Now I feel even worse for treating you so badly today."
"Aw, you made it for it. Well... almost."
The two of them looked at each other with a mischievous grin, the same thought in both of their minds.
"How long until your fights come on?"
"We still got a couple of hours." Kazuya whispered.
"Perfect..."
Their romantic thoughts were interrupted by a loud banging on the door. With an annoyed grunt, Kazuya walked over to the door and opened it. To his displeasure, it was Jin.
"Hey dad. Asuka already went back home. Hey, why does the door have dents in-"
"GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE SO I CAN BANG YOUR MOTHER!"
Kazuya slammed the door and turned back around with a grin.
"Now where were we?"
The two of them tackled each other and their lips collided in a passionate kiss. As they consummated another happy year of marriage, Jin sat down on the porch with arms folded.
"Hmph. Asshole locking me out of the house... I wish he would try that crap with mom. No way he'd get away with it."
