Hehehe....chapter 2 of KOF series.....


The tree shudders as leaves falling apart from the sheer blows of an 18 
year old.
Punching his way through the tree, as sweat rolling off his every 
muscle. Wearing hi 
favourite blue jacket with matching pants, Shingo Yabuki trained hard 
and diligently everyday 
hoping that one day he'll be at his sensei's standard.

Watching not far from there sits Kyo wondering about the potential and 
capabilities of his 
disciple. Questions of his inner self and purity lurks within every 
corner of his mind. 
"Would he be able to control the Red Flames?" and other questions 
appeared as he has seen 
the failures of those who wanted to learn it. However, he was born with 
the Red Flames, a 
heritage of the Kusanagi clan. So controlling and manipulating it is not 
much of a problem for 
him, but is Shingo capable?

"Don't worry so much, Kyo. You look awful."

Surprised, Kyo turned around to see the loving face of Yuki. Yuki, 
standing behind Kyo for 
sometime has been observing him and Shingo. 

"I must be sure of him. Not anyone can safely wield this." Kyo explained 
as he shows Yuki 
the Red Flames flickering from his finger tips.
"I promised you I won't used this anymore so that we could lead a normal 
life. But......" Kyo 
with his head hanging down murmured, 
"Iori....Iori Yagami...someone needs to hold him down."
"Even Benimaru and Daimon couldn't do that. He is just too powerful. 
Only the Red Flames 
can subdue the Purple Flames"
"Now even Benimaru is gone. I haven't heard of him since he lost at the 
hands of Iori." 
Kyo shaking his head as he tries to forget the near death experience of 
his best friend. He 
wonders why did Iori let Beni-kun live. What matters most was what he 
said as that have 
changed Beni-kun's insight of life. Kyo wonders as what might have 
caused Benimaru to live 
in seclusion for over a year now.

Noticing the rising sadness of Kyo over his friends and the burden he's 
carrying, Yuki 
reached for Kyo and embraced him within her loving arms for comfort. 
Pressing her soft lips 
tightly against his, comforting Kyo. As their affection touches the very 
ground they stand on,
flowers began blooming. Even the forest animals stare at awe at the 
couple in love. Shingo 
too stopped to witness a wonderful scene. However, if one is sharp, one 
might notice the tiny 
sign of envy and hate harboring within Shingo, though he might not even 
know it himself.

"Shingo! Back to training!!" Kyo shouted.
 
Shingo was stunned at Kyo's sudden yell. All he could do was smile 
awkwardly as he returns 
to his training. Kyo, reassured that Shingo is back in training turn 
back to meet Yuki only to 
see a giant hand coming right at his face.

*SMACK*

"You needn't shout, Kyo. I'm nearly deaf!"

Seeing the incident, Shingo can only laugh as he lets out a full force 
punch and misses. As 
with the law of momentum, his body follows suit the direction of his 
punch which is now into 
the river just behind the tree.

*SPLASH*

As Shingo emerges from the water, all he can see is Yuki and Kyo 
laughing at him from the 
sides of the bank. With his hands behind his head, all he could do was 
to join them. For 
Shingo, meeting Yuki and Kyo is his happiest moment in life. For without 
them, he wouldn't 
have learn the values of love and honor. 

Offering his hand, Kyo reached to pull Shingo out of the calm river. 
Once out of the water, the 
sight of a drenched Shingo was just too much for Yuki as she bursts into 
laughter once more. 
Then, Kyo and Shingo look at her and they join in the laughter. Neither 
of them knew of the 
spark of envy hiding deep within Shingo which one day might destroy this 
wonderful 
relationship.

In another deserted forest, animals and birds scurries for their lives 
as a lone madman 
leaves a trail of purple flames behind him. Clawing away at anything 
which seems to be in his 
path, he seems bent on some motives which only he may know. His mind 
currently bent on 
the destruction of anything which comes within range shows his twisted 
sanity. With a hellish 
shriek, he proceeded on. Only when the wind brushes the side of his 
flowing hair , does one 
catch a glimpse of the mighty wielder of the Purple Flames, Iori Yagami.
