The alarm clock went off at 5 in the morning…

"Alright…alright…." Says the small girl slowly waking up as she hit the alarm repeatedly; she slowly got out of her bed still trying to adjust her eyes to the darkness. She knew that Panda was sleeping in the corner so she couldn't turn on the lights in her room; she slowly crept out of the room and closed the door.

Within a few minutes Ling Xiaoyu was in her small living room, in her fighting stance focusing, mediating in her stance only focusing on her breathing, she closes her eyes. Her feet start to dance to her breath, her arms moved slowly as if she was fighting an opponent.

"Focus." She whispered to herself as she felt the air clear around her, her aura felt clear, everything was so calm, she would only be able to stay in this trance only for a few minutes.

Then she slowly opened her eyes and sits down on her couch worn out from her morning training. Her eyes lay on a picture that she had on her wall. Her Grandpa gave it her around her 19th birthday. The picture was an old scroll picture of a female Chinese warrior and a rabbit.

"Happy Birthday, my child." Wang said with a smile as he handed his granddaughter her birthday present, Panda came to her side with a smile excited to see what it was as well.

"I'm not a child anymore." She said with a smile as unwrapped her present happily, the picture unrolled underneath her hands, "Grandpa…." She said half speechless as she looked up at Wang.

"I feel a little bad for giving this to you now, I should have given it to you earlier." He said as a watched his granddaughter's eyes sparkle as her hands explored the picture, "I knew you always loved this picture."

Xioayu smiled and said, "Yes, it always inspired me to be a better fighter.

"I thought you wanted to be a better fight so you could own a theme park?"

She laughed and said, "Yes, that too." She rolls up the scroll and says, "Thank-you Grandpa, I love it."

That's when the name Kazama was mention on the radio, Xioayu's face turned frozen and at that moment Wang turned off the radio saying, "No need to listen to that nonsense on your birthday."

"Grandpa…" she said sadly knowing that these matters of the Mishima family were bothering her grandfather as much as they were bothering her.

"There is rumored to be another tournament coming up soon." Wang said sternly and looks Xiaoyu in the eye saying, "I think it would be for the best if you didn't participate."

"What?" she questioned confused, she has been in these Iron Fist Tournaments since she was 16 and fought against many strong opponents.

"I know why you want to join the tournament, and I refuse to let you enter for those reasons."

"Grandpa, I'm his friend I think I can talk some sense into him and stop him." She said out loud in a firm voice.

"That's what she said, and she had the devil's child!" he yelled at her.

They both went silent; knowing whom Wang was talking about. Both of them were silent for a moment as it started to rain outside.

"It's starting to rain," she said quietly as she gathered her items with Panda still sitting down, "…I think it's best if I leave now. Thank-you for the gift Grandpa."

With that said her and Panda left with Wang watching them with sad eyes.


As Xiaoyu stared at the picture, Panda sat beside her and rubbed her head again Xiaoyu's head knowing something was bothering her. All Xiaoyu did was smile at Panda and rub Panda's head saying, "I'm okay, don't worry about me."

Panda lies back down with a loud yawn, Xiaoyu smiled at her pet and bodyguard as she walks into the kitchen.

It was now 6:30am on a Saturday morning; she had no school or happy news reports today that made her smile, then her cell phone rings.

"Who could that be?" she asks herself confused, she opens it and says, "Hello?"

"Oi, good morning Xiao." The voice on the other end says with a heavy Osaka accent.

The moment Xiaoyu heard the voice she almost tripped, "Asuka?!? What are you doing calling this early?" she said surprised.

There was silence for about ten seconds.

"You forgot!" screamed the other end.

"Eh…wait"

"I'm coming to visit you today, you idiot!"

"You don't need to call me an idiot!"

"Then don't act like an idiot!"

Xiaoyu breathed in defeat, and said calmly on the phone, "So what time are you arriving?"

"Well I'm getting on the train right." There was a pause in Asuka's voice, "…Now."

"Okay so you'll be arriving around one then." Xiaoyu said as she looked at her clock.

"Yeah…Ow watch it you idiot!" Asuka suddenly says as if she was about to argue with someone on the other end.

"Um Asuka…?" Xiaoyu stared at her phone for a second as she heard Asuka yelling at a person.

"Okay so I will be there around one, bye!"

With a click and a beep Asuka was off the other end.

Xiaoyu smiled at the phone and laughed, she knew Asuka was always like this, that girl was more unpredictable then she, loudly and more aggressive then her, but she had a good heart.

Asuka smiled as she hung up her phone, sat in her seat and looked ahead as the train left, it was a six hour ride but knew it was worth it.

Her original plan was to ride her bike, but Xiaoyu refused that saying that she could get hurt doing that.

"It's been three months since I last saw her." She thought to herself as she adjusted herself by the window, "I wonder if she has fully recovered yet?"

It was now almost eleven in the morning, and Xiaoyu had just arrived home with groceries, she has spent her morning preparing her house for her friend.

"I hope she likes seaweed and shrimp, because that's what we hare having tonight." She said excitedly as she put her food and preparation for dinner up for now.

"Panda I'm home." She says at last to Panda who was on the outside porch looking out to the city; Xiaoyu walks up behind her and rubs her back saying "Sometimes I think you should have been a cat, suits your personality so much better."

Panda looks up at her with a smile knowing that was true, though she liked a little excitement in her life, she preferred relaxing and taking it easy, and to help this case she would always protect the cats around here from the evil dogs.

"Well let me change and I will get your lunch." She says happily as she walks into her room. With a humming tune she quickly takes off her shirt and opens the dresser…

Then something fell off the dresser and crashed.

"Huh?" she picks up the broken frame and turns it over; it was a picture of her getting mad at Hwoarang who tripped on top of poor Panda, and it had 'him' in it as well

For a second she stares at the picture for a second with a small smile, then her face starts to look sad, "Xiaoyu, stop dwelling…." she places the picture turned over on her dresser and puts on a new shirt and walks back into the living room and into the kitchen.

Far away in a small single cell room a young man lays unconscious on a bed with a life support system…. with Raven looking through the window coldly at him…

To be continued….
