Summary: By impersonating a boy, Seung Mi Na decides to join the Costal Defence Force. Of course, like most of her desires, this leads to more problems.
Author's Notes: This is my first Soul Calibur fic so please excuse any mistakes - I don't know much about Soul Calibur so there will probably be lots of them. When thinking of this story, Mulan never crossed my mind and I'll try to make this story differ from Mulan as much as possible. I'm just typing up the Prologue to see if anyone would like me to continue as I have many other fics to be getting on with (so please review after reading this). Lastly, my spellings will differ because I live in England. Enjoy reading!
Prologue
Seung Mi Na poured scorching, smooth tea from a jade teapot into two petite cups. If she had any poison, then she would have slipped it into one of the cups and she would make sure that it would be handed Hwang Sung Kyung, a student of her father's. She loathed Hwang for many different reasons which included his cold attitude, his great skills which Mi Na's father loved, her father's liking for him and along with many others, his membership with the Coastal Defence Force.
Mi Na had always admired the Coastal Defence Force and had attempted to join it. She was refused simply because she was a girl. Mi Na's eyebrows curved into a frown at the memory of it.
"That moron, lucky for him he's a boy," Mi Na told herself as she went out into the yard, clutching a tray with the two cups propped upon it.
When Mi Na stepped outside she noticed her father staring at Hwang showing off his moves. She pretended not to be too impressed when she held out the tray towards her father, Seung Han Myung, who politely said thank you and took one cup.
"Look, Mi Na, hasn't Hwang improved even though he didn't need any improving?" Mi Na's father asked her.
"Yeah, whatever," Mi Na mumbled, pretending to be interested in her nails.
Mi Na started heading indoors when her father instructed Hwang to show her the moves she had missed whilst making tea.
"Thank you but I've got better things to be doing -"
"But it's only a couple of moves," Mi Na's father said.
"I said I've got better things to be doing," Mi Na repeated. She rolled her eyes when Hwang ran up to them.
"Mi Na, there is no need to be jealous," told her father.
"I am not jealous," Mi Na bellowed as her amber eyes widened. She stretched her hands out and gave Hwang a hard push. She then ran up to her room before she could get scolded by her father.
Mi Na could feel hot tears rolling down her cheeks. The reason of them being there weren't her or her father's fault, but were Hwang's fault. For existing.
Just because he has a bit of talent and he is in the Coastal Defence Force makes him think like he owns this place, Mi Na thought. She hated one of these times in her life where she wished she was a boy. They got so much more privileges.
"A boy!" Mi Na yelled out loud, "Of course, why didn't I think of it earlier - oh it's too simple! I could join the Coastal Defence Force by being a boy..."
Without hesitating, Mi Na went out to purchase some boy's clothes and items that would keep her identity hidden. In the end she bought some very baggy clothes somehow resembling Hwang's and a large handkerchief which she would use to keep her hair out of view. She took a couple of days to make the wig of a boy's and a sleek and small moustache.
Finally, she stepped out of the house unnoticed and pulled on the boy's clothes and wig. She started vibrating as she asked a man if she could join, making her voice sound as low as possible.
"A couple of years ago we would have let you join just like that but since it is an honour nowadays to be in the Coastal Defence Force I'm afraid you will have to show us you're worthy enough," A burly man said.
"Oh I am, just you watch me." Mi Na took out her weapon and showed off some of her fancier moves. The man looked impressed already.
"I think we could let you in. You'll have to give me a few details though. What's your name?"
"Um..." Mina grew heated in the face as she struggled to find a boy's name for herself, "It's um... Song - yeah, Song Hwang."
"That's an odd name... well, the world is never short of weirdos. I need to know your parents names, ages - "
"I don't have parents... I live by myself sadly. Somewhere where I can't be disturbed," Mi Na said quickly.
After letting him know her age, Mi Na was told to meet at the same place tomorrow. She couldn't believe herself. She was in. She was finally in the Coastal Defence Force and it felt good. She happily past Hwang coming out of his class. She couldn't care less about the cold look he shot her. Mi Na could not wait for tomorrow.
Author's (Huge) Note: Some of you have probably seen this fic around before – with more chapters than this. Well, it's the same fic. I'm sorry it took me so long to get this all sorted out. My account got deleted (/hina) but I never heard why so I made a new account. Hiddden Ambitions is the story I would like to continue most and I'm sorry yet again for taking so long in posting it up. I should have all the chapters up shortly. Once again I'm really sorry… hm… I wonder if I have any readers left…
