Circumstances
Chapter1: Trip to Tokyo
Julia was sitting down in her seat of the airplane. In just a few hours she would be in the city of Tokyo, Japan. She had received an e-mail from her friend Xiaoyu that she wanted Julia to come stay with her for a couple of months. Julia was hesitant at first. She didn't want to leave her mother alone and by herself. Her mother Michelle reassured Julia that she would be fine and wanted her daughter to see her friend. Since they rarely see each other, only at the Tekken Tournaments. So with that, Julia packed her things and boarded on the plane.
Ling Xiaoyu was ecstatic. In a hour or so Julia would be there in Tokyo with her
"Jin my friend will be here in a couple of hours. I can't wait" Xiaoyu said happily with a smile plastered on her face.
Jin had an uninterested look plastered on his face. He had his arms folded across his chest and his eyes closed. Xiaoyu continued to tell Jin everything about Julia. Xiaoyu words trailed off in Jin's head as he slowly drift off to sleep.
Xiaoyu was a petite girl. She was only 5'2 and weighs 93 pounds. She always had her hair in two ponytails. Big brown eyes and small pink lips. Even though she was small she was always full of energy.
The sound of the school bell interrupted her thoughts. Jin opened his eyes and grabbed his backpack. Before he could walk away, Xiaoyu grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the room.
"Come on Jin. I want you to meet Julia. I'm sure you will like her." Xiaoyu said smiling.
Jin grunted. "I highly doubt that. And why should I see her? She's your friend not mines." Jin said in Japanese.
Xiaoyu turned her attention back at Jin for a second. "You haven't even given her a chance. She needs at least one other friend besides me. So she can get adjusted to being in Tokyo. Please!" Xiaoyu batted her eyes.
Jin shrugged his shoulders. "Whatever" he murmured.
Julia looked at the piece of paper she held in her hand with Xiaoyu's address on it. Julia let out a frustrated sigh. She had arrived in Tokyo 45 minutes ago. She been waiting for a cab ever since. Tokyo itself was busy. It reminded her of the state New York. Completely different from Arizona quiet and non- busy environment. Tokyo was full of commotion, noise, and people. Everything was just fast pace. Julia finally caught a cab driver attention. She hopped in the car and gave him the direction to Xiaoyu's house. Julia smiled to herself. She and Xiaoyu were close friends. She couldn't wait for the two of them to catch up on things. She remembers when the two of them met. It was the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3. Julia was 18 and Xiaoyu was 16. Julia enter the tournament because someone had kidnapped her mother. A note left gave her some information about her mother whereabouts. It was a flyer of the tournament by some man name Heihachi Mishima. Enraged by this, Julia took out her money that she had save for her college tuition and boarded on a plane to Tokyo. She was determined to win the tournament and find her mother, so the two of them could return to America safely.
She then met Xiaoyu during one of her matches. Xiaoyu was talkative and optimistic. The two of them hit it off. Julia didn't necessarily win the tournament, but she did find her mother. Heihachi was responsible for her mother's abduction. Julia wanted to find him and kill him, bit Michelle intervened. Telling Julia that violence and revenge wasn't the answer. Julia began to hate the Mishimas. She and her mother returned back home and began to live an ordinary life.
