-chapter 1-
Phoenix, Arizona
It was over…yes, that moron fighting tournament was not my passion anymore. I have already got what I wanted and caught my goals. My dream which was to reforest my homeland was successful. The data that I have got from the last tournament were worked to my dream. Then I saw those adorable plants grew up on my dream homeland forest. Thanks God, it worked and showed incredible results.
Now, I'll try something new to refresh my mind from the heavy moments that I had passed…..
"So, are you ready, fellas?" said Ashley to burn their spirits to rock on the gigs.
"Yeahh!" said the four of them eagerly.
They began to grab their own equipments. Then they walked down the aisle from the backstage to the stage.
In the middle of the band wanted to start their performance in the club, some of visitors were ready by standing in front of the stage. Not all of the visitors stood in front of the stage, some of them were on their table too. And the guests who were still on their table were Zafina, Hwoarang, Lili, and Steve.
"The band is almost ready, I think." said Hwoarang sipped his beer from glass and wanted to go in front of the stage too.
"You better sit down, because you have already spent your time to bang your head on there." said Zafina in bit worried.
"C'mmon baby, I just do that this night. You know that my daily day is being fuckin' busy and bored." replied Hwoarang begged Zafina's mercy.
"He is right, Zaf. Just lets him got mad for awhile. He is already being a man, not kid anymore." said Lili giggled.
"Oh yeah, whatever." said Zafina as she lit up her cigarette.
"Hell yeah! That's my lovely girl, thanks." yelled Hwoarang, kissed Zafina's lips fastly, and went to the stage immediately.
"Jesus! He is still high of energy on watching band, dumb soldier." said Steve then kissed Lili.
All the band members were already in the stage. Many audiences yelled to them, because the tow members of the band were female. The crowd was getting mad because they saw fresh scenery on the stage and they couldn't wait to rock together. The band began to rock on there. They played the first song and made the audience, include Hwoarang, banged their head, followed the music. That incredible response continued until the second song was being played.
When the third song was begun to play, Hwoarang realized something in the middle. He seemed familiar with the female guitarist, who played her dark red Les Paul.
"Do my eyes blur? I seem to see Julia on the stage. Wait….." murmured Hwoarang in the middle of the song and rubbed his eyes.
"Oh no, that is Julia! Yes, my eyes are not fault. I have to say this to them…" he pulled himself to the right corner of the crowd, looked for comfort place to text Zafina.
Suddenly, Zafina felt her cell phone vibrated and saw text message from Hwoarang.
"Have he already hang over? In the short distance place he sends….me….text….message….." Zafina's immediately got wide at the message that she has just read.
Julia is on the stage…she is singing the song and playing her guitar...
"Wait, Steve, Lili excuse me….but could you please read this?" Zafina pouted Lili's shoulder and began to break their make out in the dim place with her cell phone.
"What the hell are you doing, Zaf? We haven't got climax yet." Steve yelled to Zafina and felt annoying.
"But please please please…read the message from Hwoarang…..it is very important…." Zafina continued her enforcement.
"Just a minute Steve, let's read the moron message from…..My God….Steve this is serious…" said Lili fixed up her dress.
Steve began to read Hwoarang's text message and he got up immediately.
"Let's go into the crowd…." said Steve in serious face.
The band was playing the third song when Steve, Lili, and Zafina came. The members of the band were bang their head followed their music.
"Why took you all so long?" yelled Hwoarang in annoying voice.
"Those horny dogs were on fire…." replied Zafina in high tone.
"Dammit, that's just intermezzo, Zaf…" Lili began to protest.
"Well…..that is Julia….for real…" said Steve broke the little row.
Immediately they stopped to row and looked over the stage. They saw Julia who used white knee-length dress with drawstring on the chest part also without strings on the shoulder and high black leather boots, played her deep dark red Les Paul, sang, and screamed the amazingly although the music was noisy. They saw her banged her head and jumped with the audience followed the music. Her wavy unbraid hair was swung follow her head-banged. They were incredibly hypnotized with what they saw. And they still could recognize her although she didn't braid her hair.
"How come the clever scientist turns into rock and roll lady like this?" murmured Zafina in the middle of her surprised.
"Can we meet her after finishing her gigs?" said Lili to their friends.
"Let's see…If she goes to the bar after the gig with her mates, let's meet her" replied Steve immediately.
The band performance was over when they are already finished playing the fifth song. They thanked to the audience who gave very great response and then went to the backstage.
"That was awesome Jules. You rock on tonight! I love that….." said Ashley, the bassist, in excited tone.
"Yeah, she is right. You were awesome." Max, the guitarist, emphasized Ashley's comment.
"Thanks Ash, Max…You two and Luke also amazing! I'm proud being in here and playing with you all." said Julia in happy tone with smile.
"Umm…. How about celebrate our successful performance?" replied Luke wiping his face with towel.
"Bingo! Let's celebrate our victory!" added Max.
"Yeahh!" yelled four of them.
Then they adjusted their equipment and wanted to go to the bar of the club for celebrating their awesome performance. When they arrived in the bar, many people were amazed to them. Not only perform, but also the two female members which caught audience's attention. All people around them in bar gave them toss in order gave them such congrats greet. Suddenly, a red hair Korean man approached one of the female members front he band and try to talk to her.
"That was great performance Rock n Roll Lady." said the man as we know as Hwoarang.
The brunette girl was turn into the voice and she was surprised.
"O thank you…very….much…Oh my God, Hwoarang! Is that you?" asked the brunette girl very surprised.
"Hell yeah!" replied Hwoarang and gave Julia warm friend hug.
"O my God….Oh my…hahaha…it has been three years a half or maybe 4 years we didn't see each other…well…how are….you…..oh my, Zafina, Lili, Steve….God! You all…." said Julia again in her mad surprise.
"All of us are fine, very fine." said Steve then with hand shake.
"Jules, we miss you so much!" said Lili and Zafina in the same time and hugged her.
"Who are they, Jules? They are pretty unfamiliar for us." asked Luke immediately.
"Oh well….let me introduce my old kickin' ass friends…. This is Hwoarang, next to him is Zafina, the cutie child Lili, and the boxing man Steve." said Julia pointed her old friends one by one.
"Hi…." said Julia's band mates together.
"And for you my old friends, these are my band mates. This is Luke, next to him is Ashley, and the long hair man Max." explained Julia with cheery voice.
"Hello…" said the fourth old friends.
"Um…may I have time to reunite for awhile with them?" asked Julia to Ashley.
"Sure, why not? You haven't seen them for long time. Enjoy your time, Lad." replied Ashley in friendly tones.
"But don't forget to come back to us if you want to go home." teased Max.
"Off course Maximilan Dowson!" Julia attacked back with cheery tones.
Not so long from the courtesy introduction and little negotiation with her band mates, Julia began to talk with her fourth old mates.
"So, what kind of problems brings you here?" said Julia started their conversation.
"Honeslty, we don't know why we come here. It is because of Mr. Dumb Soldier forced us to go to the mad club like this." said Lili in teased tone.
"Excuse me, Miss Foolish Princess? I wasn't force you, and for your info I just asked Steve to come. But your jealousy turned to be crazy so you follow him everywhere he goes!" replied Hworang in protest.
"Oh my, you two just shut your fuckin' mouth! I'm getting crazy because hearing you all doing dumb conversation." said Zafina to make situation calm.
Julia, Steve, and Zafina began to laugh loudly when they saw Hwoarang and Lili's face turned like angry kids.
"And how about you, Jules? Why do you change your attitude into Lady Rock like this?" asked Steve in curious tone.
"Yeah, I thought you were pretty serious scientist or something like that…" continued Hwoarang.
"Ow…this is just for fun, believe me. I don't change my attitude or somethin', just…y'know…try something new and recall my old passion besides scientific work…" replied Julia in laid back tone with a bit giggle.
"But despite of that, I love your style and your dress too. Seriously, I do…." Said Lili in her giggled and showed her sweet smile.
"Ohhhhh…always…about style, fashion and those stuff huh?" asked Zafina teased Lili.
"C'mmon Zafy, she is totally hot and rocks! I wish that I could be…some kind of rockin' babes…y'know…." said Lili again with funny body movements.
"Yeah…yeah of course!" replied Zafina to stop Lili's next protest.
"You always can make me laugh till drop my tears, fellas!" added Julia in her loud laugh saw her two women joking.
They had chit chat for about half an hour and by the time the club played the dance music, Lili grabbed Steve's arms as a sign to asked him dance with her. When they left the table, Hwoarang and Zafina began to start a bit more serious conversations with Julia.
"I bet you can guess what next topic that we'll talk about." said Hwoarang in serious tone with light smile.
"Unfortunately, I can't guess for now." said Julia with light smile up on her face and drank her soda.
"Well…Julia, where have you been for the rest of three a half and almost four years?" asked Zafina lit her cigar.
Julia chuckled a bit and tried to answer Zafina's question in full thought.
"Oh…mmmmm…yeah, I did my reforest project, doing some researches, and like this….playing on band…." answered Julia happily.
"And where? I mean, I have never seen you around your house. Your neighbors said that you have moved to somewhere without gave information for them…." asked Zafina again then blew her cigar.
"I know you hide something, Jules. And let me tell you that you never hide anything from us if you have problems. Any problems." said Hwoarang emphasized Zafina's question.
"Well, um….I don't know how to answer your question, seriously. I'm just….y'know….confuse how to start to answer your question. It was difficult to say, just that." said Julia then sipped her soda.
"Does your difficult problem that you have meant have relation with Jin?" asked Hworang again and his question made Julia choked, terrible choked.
"Are you ok, Jules? You…hmmppff….you shouldn't shoot her with question like that." said Zafina madly to Hwoarang and helped Julia to clean her throat from the soda.
"I'm just asking in ordinary tone, Baby Zafy. Why do you get mad and look, Julia looks very nervous or something?" added Hwoarang.
"Yeah but…" Zafina's interrupted was break.
"It's ok, Zaf…don't worry…." Julia broke Zafina's interrupt.
"Then what, Jules?" asked Hwoarang again.
"Nope….You have already answered you own question." added Julia after drank water.
"So…that's true if you try to….." asked Zafina in unsure tone.
"Yes….avoid Jin and his entire family…" replied Julia then sipped her soda again.
"But why….I mean, you have already helped him and his family from the death or whatever you called it…"asked Zafina in curious tone.
"I just….don't want to have any relation anymore with Mishimas….I have already got what I wanted…." added Julia.
"Do you mean reforest's data?" asked Hwoarang.
"Absolutely." answered Julia in simple word and smile.
" But, Jules…" asked Hwoarang but it was interrupted by Julia's band mates word.
"Jules, do you want to stay here or wanna go home? For your info, it is already 1 o'clock." interrupted Ashley in low tone suddenly.
"Alraight, I wanna go home…and see you later then…." replied Julia and left Hwoarang and Zafina on their table.
"Oh….ok…bye…" said Zafina immediately before Hwoarang messed everything.
"But Julia…hey…." asked Hwoarang began to shout. But Julia kept going wore her black leather jacket, didn't turn her body and went with her band mates.
Zafina began to calm Hwoarang down and said to him that they didn't have rights to enforce Julia.
"Don't you know that Jin always wants to meet you?" whispered Hwoarang in his heart.
Tokyo, Japan
"Right, I'm getting sick with this. I really want to off from this shit for about a week. This has been 4 years and I'm still having no clue about her. The damn fool soldier is still not giving me the news or info about where she has been. Where are you exactly, Jules…."
Jin wanted to finish his work for that day and wanted to go home a bit early. But his plan has to be canceled because his father called him to talk about one more work. He pushed the button on the phone call answered his father then went to his father office. Jin knocked his father office's door as soon as he arrived in front of his father office.
"Come in…." replied Kazuya, Jin's father.
Jin came into his father's office and Kazuya pleased him to sit.
"What again now?" asked Jin in bored tone.
"Calm down kid, I won't add another work in here. I will give that after we arrive at home, after dinner. You want to go home…." explained Kazuya and it was interrupted.
"I'll go home by myself. Just go if you want to go first." said Jin still in bored tone.
"Alright then…just go home….your mother and your great grandpa is waiting…" said Kazuya again and began to leave his office.
"You don't have to call me if you just want to say that…." murmured Jin, dejected.
Kazuya hear that, and he smiled lightly.
"I just want to make our relation better…just that….well let's go home…."said Kazuya in wise tone then out from his office to the house first.
"Want to make our relation better….what the heck is that?" said Jin in his heart and it was stopped by his cell phone sound.
"Shit, what again is…." said Jin walked out from his father's office to the elevator and read the text message that had just arrived in his cell phone.
This is serious, Kazama. I saw Julia last night, at the club in Phoenix Arizona. She looked fine and great, plus she's look very new. I'll call you again if I have her new phone number. But the important is, you had known that she is still alive and she looks fine. Got it?
"Now he is not lie to me. Thanks, Hwoarang. Better if you call me soon and give me her phone number r maybe include with her address." said Jin in his heart with smile on his face and put his cell phone to his trouser's pocket.
Jin walked out from Mishima Zaibatsu office to the parking lot and drove his car went back to his house.
When Jin arrived at his house, he saw her mother talked with his great grandpa in terrace. Actually he was very lazy to talk with people at that day. But because he has just received Hwoarang's message, he looked very cheerful. Jin walked out from his car which has just parked in the garage and greeted his mother and his great grandpa.
"Good evening, mom, great grandpa…." said Jin and bowed to his mom and great grandpa.
"Jin….good evening…and is that your father's fault or my eyes are fault seeing you in cheery tone whether your father said that you were totally annoying today…" asked Jun, Jin's mother.
"Hmmmm….your mother is right, Jin. What had happened to you?" continued Jinpachi, Jin's great grandpa.
"Nope….no…nothing….I'm just happy because time for dinner almost comes. What we will have today for dinner then?" asked Jin to switch the topic.
"I'll find out the reason why your mood change later, Son…." replied Jun.
"Hahahahaa….calm down you two…we'll have Japanese dishes off course." said Jinpachi in chuckled.
"So just come for dinner then. I'm very starving" said Jin immediately.
"Alright, but you have to take a bath first and don't forget to call Asuka to have dinner." said Jun.
They began to leave the terrace and had the dinner together.
The dinner time was come and they began to eat delicious food which have prepared by Jun. When they almost finished their dinner, suddenly Jun asked Jin about Michelle and Julia Chang.
"Have you got any info about them, Jin? It has been four years and we don't have any info about them. We have to thank them about what they had had done for us, our family." said Jun.
Jin began to choke and drank water to clean his throat. Everyone in the table also surprised why suddenly Jun asked about Indian mother and daughter.
"Unfortunately, I haven't got any info about them, Mom." replied Jin.
"Why do you ask about them suddenly, Jun?" asked Kazuya to his wife.
"I just…..for your info, I have been dreamt about Michelle's daughter for the rest of 4 years. In every certain night, I saw her on my dream with the eagle on her lap. Both the eagle and Michelle's daughter are shining and when I start to talk to her, both of them are gone. They left me in the middle of forest, but the forest is not Yakushima or else. That was very strange and…I don't know where it is…."explained Jun with curious tone.
"That is supposed to be in Arizona, Auntie. That is their homeland." said Asuka with flat expression. "And I'm sure Jin also dreamt the same thing that you had…" she continued and glanced to Jin.
"What?" asked all people in the table together.
Jin had his serious choke because of Asuka's words that had just said. He was in confused between how Asuka knew about that and being slapped by his cousin in front of his mother because he never told Jun that he also had the same dream like Jun had. The different was the eagle. In Jin's dream, he just saw Julia walked in the forest blankly and disappeared when he called her and approached her to say something.
"What? Am I saying wrong thing, Jin?" said Asuka again in tease tone.
Jin didn't say anything but kept silent.
"Owf,, I'm finish with my dinner. Let's doing some assignments….." said Asuka again then went to her bedroom, left people in the table without continued her dinner again.
When the dinner was over, Jun called Jin into the living room to talk about Michelle and Julia Chang. Jin was confuse, didn't know what to say to answer his mother's question. He couldn't lie or hide anything from his mother. And now, he thought that he was completely being fucked in this moment.
"Mom…" said Jin called her mother.
"Just come and sit here…" replied Jun kindly, as usual.
Jin took a seat next to his mother. And Jun began to ask Jin with to the point question.
"So, why don't you tell me if you also have the same dream like me?" asked Jun with friendly tone.
Jin kept silent for a while, thought about the answer. But he might not deny again now.
"Jin?" his mother began to ask again, glanced to her son.
"Oh, yeah…um…I thought that…that was just my own problem or something else…." Jin began to talk, answered his mother's question.
"Oh, your own problem. But don't you feel strange we have same dream about the same people? I mean people who had saved us from death and darkness." added Jun again with curious tone.
"Ummm…..oh…y-yeah…of course…strange…" said Jin stammer.
"Jin, are you hiding something from me?" asked Jun again, wondered about Jin's words.
"Oh….oh….n...nope…well mom…."
"Jin, I have known you since you were a baby, more precisely in my womb. Although we have been separated for about 9 years, but almost of your life was spend with me. Is there any problem with Michelle Chang and her daughter that disturb you or something?" asked Jun again
"Hhhh…..I know that I can't hide anything from you, Mom. Yes, I think about them because I haven't thanked for them, especially for Julia who had saved me, father, and great grandpa from the devil's control. I just, wondered why, they disappeared whereas we haven't thanked for their kindness….just that…" replied Jin.
Jun nodded and greed with her son's words. She also felt guilty because they indebted life for Michelle and Julia.
"If your people had already known about them, please tell me. I really want to meet them and thank them about what they had done. Promise me?" asked Jun with hope.
"I promise I will, Mom. Don't worry about that." replied Jin then hugged his mother.
When the talk with his mother was over, Jin began to walk into the dojo, did some training and daydreaming. He did training for about one hour a half and stopped when he saw Asuka came into the dojo. Asuka wanted to apologize about what she had said on dinner and talked about Julia with Jin.
"What again now…." said Jin kicked the sand sack.
"Well, calm down then. I just want to apologize about what I said on dinner and talk about…..Julia." said Asuka, laid on the wall in front of Jin.
Suddenly Jin stopped his training, wiped his sweat with the towel and walked to Asuka.
"What do you want to talk?" asked Jin drank the water from the bottle on his left hand.
"What do I want to talk? Do you think I'm blind, didn't know that you admire and really loved her? Now, she is gone and you look despair because you haven't said that you love her." said Asuka with dejected tone.
"And the worst is, you prefer the dumb pig tails kid rather than Julia. Did you ignore your own conscience?" continued Asuka again.
Jin sighed in frustrated and began to talk to Asuka about what did he feel for the rest of 4 years. For the first time he talked about his inner feeling to Julia with a person that he didn't trust before.
"And am I wrong if I don't want to hurt her heart? I just didn't want to tear her heart anymore after what she had got from this suck family." explained Jin in serious tone.
"You have never tried that then how come you knew that she would hate reject or hate you?" asked Asuka again.
"I don't know, I just…..I just guess…." replied Jin.
"What? Oh my….earth to Jin, you just guess…what a coward you are!" yelled Asuka didn't believe with what she had just heard.
"Yeah, just yell and say whatever you like!" Jin started yell also.
Asuka felt sorry about what she has just said and apologized once again. She began to talk again about Julia and her wishes for her cousin.
"You know Jin, I'll be very happy if you find her immediately and choose her as a person who will stay with you forever rather than the nasty pig tail girl. Sorry to say that I hate Ling so much. This is not because Julia had saved you, but her pure heart ensures me that she is the right person who can give you the light. Maybe I'm too much to talk and being very fussy, but that's just my wishes to you. I don't want you to go back to the darkness anymore and want you to have your own happiness." said Asuka with tears on her cheeks.
Jin couldn't believe that Asuka could say like that. He thought that no one understood about what he felt to Julia, even the crazy tomboy girl like his Cousin. Then he felt that Asuka was right. He also had same feeling about Julia's pure kindness. But what else he can do? He even couldn't find Julia just to say hello or thanks.
"But, Suka….I want to ask you something….How did you know that…..mother and I had same dream…about Julia? I had never told you about that…to emphasize, I kept that secret just for myself…then…how could you….." asked Jin a bit curious to his cousin.
"For your info, my dear cousin….I have um…..yeah….a little sixth-sense like Auntie Jun has also…. You may laugh but…that's true….." replied Asuka with dreamy eyes stammered for awhile.
"Well, you have to find her, Jin. I know she is the one who can make you purely happy beside your mother, doesn't it?" asked Asuka approached Jin and hugged her cousin who was like her own older brother.
"Sure, don't worry. I'll find her because I have already known that she is in her homeland. I just didn't know where her current address is. But Hwoarang will help me to find her. Trust me." said Jin surely.
"No way! Why did you lie to Auntie Jun that you didn't know where she is?" said Asuka again broke her hug.
"I just want to give surprise for all people in this house. Plus, I didn't know the exact place where Julia stays. I don't want to be so hurry. Am I wrong?" said Jin then smiled.
"You're so mean! Ok, just prove to me that you can find her and make her to be yours. Do you accept my challenge, Kazama Jin?" asked Asuka in happy tone then wiped her tears.
"Deal!" replied Jin.
They made toss to state their agreement then walked out of the dojo together. In the middle of their walked, Jin glanced for awhile to the sky and saw the beautiful full moon on there. He said to himself in his heart that he would meet her again, in his dream of course. He couldn't stand to have a rest earlier in order to see her again, his angelic fairy.
