Chapter 4 King of Fighters 97



In a small apartment, cozy and warm sat Kyo and Shingo together as Yuki 
prepares some 
coffee and titbits for the duo. As both Kyo and Shingo folls around each 
other, Yuki looks on 
Kyo, her hero and love. With one fast move, Kyo grabbed Shingo's head 
and knocks it hard 
with his hand. Shingo could only yelp in pain as Kyo released his grip.

Walking towards the two, Yuki, always with that sweet charming smile, 
presented coffee and 
cookies in a cute little tray. The smell of the cookies instantly 
diverted both their attentions 
from each other as Shingo grasp the the very first cookie with his 
hands. And with one large 
bite, he swallowed half the cookie.

"It's delicious!!!" mumbled a full mouthed Shingo.

"You better slow down or you'll choke on it." tesed Kyo while slowly 
chewing off the delicious 
cookies made by Yuki.

"Come on Kyo, don't tease Shingo so much. He likes my cookies that's 
all....." replied Yuki as 
she then proceeded to switch on the television.

Shingo with one embarassed look, could only smile vaguely at Yuki's 
comment.  Quickly, he 
indulged himself in more delicious cookies, trying to get his eyes off 
the charming Yuki. 

Kyo, with theother hand, reached for the controller as he fiddled around 
the channels. It 
seems that today might just a be another peaceful day when suddenly,

"Today's headlines. A massacre had happened just outside Tokyo stadium. 
We believe about 
50 people are found dead while the rest are seriously injured. What may 
be a big day for fans 
of the Nanakase band to witness their idols debut on stage, just turns 
out ot be a tragedy. As 
we approach the scene, bystanders are left in horror as to a huge 
graveyard of charred 
bodies in that area. The police and fire department are working their 
best to clear and identify 
all these bodies. However, the police have not ruled out a terrorist 
bombing or deliberate 
arson. There's still no conclusion to this matter as of yet. The most 
unbelievable thing is that 
most witness believe the fire which burn these bodies seemed purple in 
colour."

"YAGAMI !!" Kyo suddenly stand up. His eyes horrified at the scene, he 
gritted his teeth.
He knew who caused this. Ever since their last meeting, Kyo hasn't seen 
his rival for some 
time. Though it seems he lost his self control then, but his sanity was 
still in check. Now it 
seems that he has lost it all over  again.

Shingo, already stunned at the commotion, stared at the in trance Kyo. 
He felt the tenseness 
of his sensei. He knew about Kyo's rival and the Yagami style Magatama. 
Yuki on the other 
hand stares in horror as tears began filling her sparkling eyes. Seeing 
her reaction, Shingo 
quickly turned off the tv.

"Why don't we just go to the park today, huh?" suggested a rather 
awkward Shingo.

"Is it him, Kyo. Did he really do it?" Yuki already shaken from the 
event, asked.

Kyo lost at words couldn't think of anything to answer Yuki. Looking up 
suddenly, his fists 
punching the air, Kyo dashed for the door. At every step he takes, his 
mind bombarded with 
tons of questions.
"Why do I care?" 
"It's the other people's business now."
"I have a life of my own now"
Yet, among all this reason swimming around his thoughts, he still could 
not leave the sole 
thing which makes him whole, his responsibility.

Quickly, Yuki ran towards Kyo and hugged him from behind. Immediately, 
Kyo stops, his eyes 
widened as like awaking from a bad dream. At that time, his thoughts 
already in confusion, he 
couldn't think. With the love of Yuki, he had gradually gotten himself a 
new life, a normal life. 
He like the way it is now but the burden of a Kusanagi has never left 
his shoulders. He will 
and always be a Kusanagi and that's his own curse. 

Shingo couldn't help but look in envy at Kyo. He hoped that someday he 
too could have someone 
who'd cared for him just like his sensei and Yuki.
