Final Bout)

Chapter Three:
K’ looked up and glanced at Kula, who was standing by
the door waiting. He returned to the letter he was reading. He read the contents
in disbelief. “N.E.S.T.S. is holding this year’s King of Fighters
competition, this would be the final bout between he and I…” Kula walked
towards K’ and sat beside him. “This year’s King of Fighters is based on a
three versus three basis. Any fighter standing by can act as a striker…”
before she could finish, K’ said, “three versus three eh? Well, Kula,” he
paused and looked into her misty blue eyes before continuing, “we shall enter
as a team of two…” Kula stared at K’ in disbelief. K’ then smiled and
said, “I trust you…” Tears welled up in Kula’s eyes immediately.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Japan, a lady felt uneasy. She
had long black hair and wore a white shirt with long and large sleeves. She held
a peculiar mirror in her hands. One would look at her and wonder, for she was
perspiring very profusely even though the weather was fairly cool. “It cannot
be…” she whispered in fright. Chizuru looked into the sky and told herself,
“I must find Kyo and Iori.” She dashed off immediately after that, holding
the King of Fighters invitation in her hands…

She felt the presence of something too. Something in
her blood was churning, she did not know what. “You alright, Leona?” Ralf
asked. She nodded, but in fact, she was screaming from discomfort. Heidern
understood everything. He felt it too. He held his hands together and prayed
that nothing would happen to Leona. He had decided to join the King of Fighters
competition with Leona this year. “Three versus three…” he mumbled, and
decided to add Ralf into the
operation together.

Saisyu picked up the list of the competing teams and
sighed, “Kyo, where are you?”
Benimaru was sparring with Shingo and felt the special spirit that Shingo possessed. He knew that it was the desire to be like his sensei and also, because he wanted to see Kyo again. “The King of Fighters competition starts in three months… I hope to see Kusanagi- san there this year…”
