Hello everybody and welcome to my second Tekken story. This particular story focuses on Asuka and Hwoarang opposed to Tekken Next Generation that follows the kids of the characters. One thing I want to mention here is that Asuka is 17, almost 18 in this story just to close the age gap a bit the two of them. Also I'd like to know whether or not I should make this story M rated. I'm not sure if the language and situation is bad enough to be considered that. The title is temporary as I changed the idea of the story drastically. Please leave any suggestions you think for a proper title in a review or PM I'll be glad to hear them.I don't really have much else to say so I'll just start the story. Enjoy!
CHAPTER 1:THE INCIDENT AND THE BLOOD TALON
It was a hot summer day in the city of Osaka,Japan. Most people were going about their daily routine. In the local high school, the final bell had just rung. Students began to flood into the halls and out the doors. Many students met up with friends or headed to catch the bus. A certain girl quickly headed for her bike.
This girl was known around the town as Asuka Kazama the Gang Mediator. She was famous for breaking up gang fights and pummeling those who refused to listen. Her father was a master of the Kazama style martial arts and had a dojo as well.
She unlocked her bike and quickly got on, hoping to beat the traffic rush home. However, fate decided to destroy that entire plan. Right as she prepared to leave, she noticed that one of her tires had a medium sized hole in it, meaning that she wouldn't be riding the bike home today.
She groaned in frustration, "You gotta be kidding me!" she exclaimed.
Many people around her looked in her direction, but received a glare in return.
She sighed, "Looks like I'll be walking home." she said and began her trip home.
She didn't live terribly far from school, it was just that using the bike was more efficient and fun for her than walking home after an already irritating and long day of school.
She pulled a granola bar from her bag and began to munch on it as she waited for the signal to cross the street. She really didn't like walking home, seeing as the few times she did almost resulted in her getting run over.
She finished up the last of the bar and started to cross the street as a car sped by just missing her by centimeters.
She raised her fist, "Watch where you're going!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.
Realizing her screaming was futile, she just went back to crossing the street.
A few minutes passed and she was already bored of this whole walking thing. At least being on her bike gave her something to do. She didn't understand how people enjoyed doing this by themselves. She understood if you had some company that it might be nice, but alone in the blazing sun was anything but fun.
As she continued complaining in her head, Asuka started to feel like she was being watched. Not wanting whoever it was to realize she could feel their presence, she acted like she was looking her bag while she discretely searched the area.
A man that looked to have a very familiar emblem on his jacket. She threw the bag back over her shoulder and continued walking. She started to feel uneasy when she saw another man and a woman wearing the same emblem hanging out in an ally way. However that uneasiness quickly became excitement as she prepared for the possibility of a fight.
The man whistled, "Hey. How about you come over here. We'd like to have a nice little chat with you." he said standing up from him position of sitting against the wall.
The man that had been trailing Asuka cracked his knuckles, "Let's make this nice and easy." he said in a rough sounding voice that greatly contrasted the smooth voice of the other man.
Another strange thing about the first man was that neither him nor the woman he was with seemed to be from Japan. If anything they looked to be American or European of some sort. The man's blonde hair and grey-blue eyes gave him a very western appearance. The woman on the other hand had cherry red hair and green eyes. Come to think of it, the man following her looked to be the only Japanese member of the group.
Suddenly after getting a good look at they symbol they all adorned, she recognized who they were. They were a gang who's members came from a variety of different backgrounds. Their leader Matabiki Kayaba had been taken down by Asuka a few months ago when she stumbled upon his hideout in Japan. His arrest caused many of the members to go into hideout and feel very vengeful towards her. This was the first time she'd seen them actually do anything though.
The young Kazama girl put her hands on her hips, "When are you guys ever gonna learn?" she said throwing her bag on the ground.
The woman chuckled, "I don't think you'll be so lucky this time little on." she said mockingly.
The teen smirked, "Try me." she told the woman.
The woman sent a few quick kicks Asuka's way that were easily dodged. Asuka countered with a flip kick that knocked the woman off her feet before brushing off her skirt.
Asuka smiled, "If that's all you can take the this is gonna be easier than last time." she said cockily.
The blonde man chuckled, "That wasn't even enough to be called child's play. However we're not here for that. Our new leader wants you unharmed." he said grinning.
She raised an eyebrow, "New leader? Wha-" she was cut off as the Japanese man held a rag over her mouth and nose and she slowly lost consciousness.
Asuka awoke to the darkness. She felt dizzy and noticed that her hands were tied. She also could vaguely tell that her lack of sight was die to a blindfold.
She shifted around for amount before becoming still when she became aware of someone sitting next to her.
It just happened to be the blonde man from earlier, "Oh look who's awake. You must have a lot of strength to be awake so soon. Something like that usually keeps people out for another six hours or so. I'm impressed." he said sincerely.
She growled at him, "Go to hell." she said angrily.
He chuckled, "Still glad to see you have some fire in you. The boss'll like that." he said making her cringe.
Asuka lowered her head, "You're boss sounds live a major pervert." she replied.
Suddenly the clicking of footsteps could be heard, "Riley stop harassing the girl already." the voice of the woman from before was heard.
The man now identified as Riley traced his finger along her face, "We were just having a little chat as I said before Elise." he said.
The woman known as Elise huffed, "I don't agree with your treatment of women. It's very disgraceful." she said clearly upset.
Riley removed his hand from Asuka's face, "Then I'll let you handle here then. We'll be to the checkpoint in a few hours. That's when we head to the safe house from Korea." he said in a low voice.
Asuka however was just barely able to catch his mention of Korea, 'Maybe there's a chance of escaping there. I've never been there so I'd be wandering aimlessly, but maybe I could find some way to get home.' she thought.
This whole situation was tiring , but she was afraid that if she fell asleep she'd miss her chance. However sleep seemed tempting at the moment. She was confused and had no idea where she was. This left her with no choice, but to close her eyes and hope for the best.
Asuka was once again awoken sometime later by the sound of voices around her. She suddenly felt the blindfold be pulled off of her. She had to squint as she adjusted the sunlight.
Elise sat in front of her holding a granola bar and a small glass of water, "I'm sorry this is all I could get you. We didn't really have much since we weren't planning on the trip being as long as it's turning out to be." she said apologetically.
The Japanese girl tried to remain emotionless, but the gratefulness was still showing in her eyes, "Thanks." she said meekly.
The other woman smiled, "It's no problem just let's do this fast before any else shows up. They aren't like me when it comes to prisoners. They treat them no differently than cargo. Riley is worse as he tends to try and get a bit touchy feely if you know what I mean. I've learned to keep an eye on him around female prisoners." she told the teen who was eating the granola bar almost whole.
The older woman laughed to herself and brought the water to the younger girls lips.
Asuka was thankful for whatever she could get. She wasn't used to going nearly half a day without anything to eat or drink.
Suddenly Asuka got a feeling of descent and then a decrease in speed.
Elise seemed to be a bit unnerved by this. Hopefully this was Asuka's chance to escape.
Riley and a group of other men entered shortly after.
Riley himself grinned, "Well this is our first and only stop before we deliver you to the boss. Get up." he commanded.
Asuka tried the best she could to stand with out falling over which was much more difficult considering her hands were literally tied.
Elise looked disappointed at the fact that she couldn't assist the young Kazama girl.
When she was finally able to stand up, she was roughly escorted off the plane and into what looked to be a makeshift plane yard of sorts.
She looked around for any possible route of escape, but she sadly didn't seem to have any ways of doing so in her current state.
Suddenly she could hear the roaring of what she suspected to be a motorcycle approaching her location. Pretty soon a light became visible that was getting close.
She sighed, 'Please be someone that can help.' she pleaded in her head.
Whatever or whoever it was crashed straight through the fence and landed right in front of her captors.
Some of the lesser goons started panicking, "Oh shit! What're we gonna do? It's the Blood Talon." he said in fear.
This man Blood Talon had red hair that was held up by his biker goggles, a black and orange vest, and a pair of biker's jeans and boots. As much as Asuka didn't want to admit it, he was also pretty good looking.
He looked over the crowd of people, "What's going on here?" he questioned in a surprising firm yet assertive tone.
Riley walked up to face the man, "None of your business Blood Talon. You and you're little group of scam artists have no reason to interfere with our affairs." he said with a disgusted look on his face.
Blood Talon glanced over at Asuka who started to shift awkwardly, "I take it that this is the girl that took down Kayaba." he said his eyes leaving her.
Despite Asuka's personality and tomboyish nature, she still got extremely self conscious sometimes. Especially under the circumstances that she was in at the moment.
Riley crossed his arms over his chest, "That is correct, but you don't need to know anymore than that. I suggest you leave now." he said motioning to the destroyed fence.
The other man had a dead serious look, "I don't think so." he responded.
Before Riley could get another word out, the Blood Talon kicked him in the jaw and sent him flying to the pavement quite a distance away. A majority of the other thugs scurried off in fear while a few more stupid than brave individuals tried to put up a fight.
Within a few seconds and a few well placed kicks later, they were just a few bodies flung around the area.
The man brushed through his fiery locks with one hand while turning towards the obviously alarmed Asuka.
He took a small knife from his pocket and cut the restraints, "Are you alright? What happened?" he asked with a voice full of concern.
Asuka rubbed her wrists and her face flushed a bit from having to be a damsel in distress for a little bit there, "I was on my my home from school when I started being followed by someone. Then the other two waited for me. I had a brief conversation and a brief little fight ,if you can it a fight considering how short it was, and then I'm pretty sure they drugged me or something. My memory's not too good at the moment. My head's killing me." she finished her story.
The man held out his arms as she once again passed out. He caught her with ease.
For a second he thought about where to take her before he thought of a safe place for now, "Hopefully master won't mind. Wouldn't be the first time I brought a girl passed put back home." he joked and chuckled to himself.
He noticed for the first time that she was in a school uniform. He'd also have to find a way to get better clothes for her for the time being.
Suddenly he spun around to face Elise who was standing with her hands up defensively, "What do you want?" he questioned.
She nervously started to talk, "I-is she g-going to be okay?" she asked while stuttering a bit.
He glanced down at Asuka, "Yeah she'll be fine. What's it too ya?" he retorted.
She seemed to be expecting such a question already, "I was forced into this mission by the new leader. He's my brother and he's been trying to get me into this kind of work for years. He said that if I didn't do this then he would kill me and the girl." she said with tears in her eyes.
The Blood Talon let his guard down slightly, "Then will you be willing to talk to police and tell them everything you know? Because I just happen to know someone who could help you if that's the case." he offered.
She nodded and a small smile started to appear on her face.
He sighed, "Come with me. I'll drop you off at the police station. Ask them to contact Detective Lei Wulong. Give 'em this is they ask anything else." he instructed.
She nodded again, "I got it." she said becoming a bit more stable again.
The fiery haired biker put Asuka on the front of the motorcycle and then got on. Elise didn't look very comfortable with this form of transportation. He motioned for her to sit behind him and she did so, idly putting her arms around his waist.
He looked over his shoulder, "Hang on tight." he warned.
Within a second, the only thing anyone could see was a figure speeding by.
And that's a wrap for now. I really liked writing this. It's actually kinda fun to go in and just kinda write something new and refreshing after so long. I hope that you all liked it as well. It should obviously know who Blood Talon is. If you don't then you need to slap yourself and go read all the info about Tekken from 1-7. Anyways that's all I have to say. Remember to review and I'll see you all next time.
