Disclaimer: I own none of the characters below, by the way Hiki is Xiaoyu's friend I'm not too sure how to spell her name so please don't shot me. If anyone could help me out then from chapter 4 and up her name will be spelt correctly (if I decided to use it).

The Iron Fist Tournament Invitation!

She crossed her legs as she set under the large blossom tree, it was Tuesday today. She had promised to met her friend Xiaoyu here today. She slipped her backpack off her back and dug through it hoping to find it, she wanted to show Xiaoyu that's if she wasn't too busy with that Kazama boy. During the time Hiki had been attending that school those two had been together. If she didn't know better she could have sworn that they were dating only Xiaoyu just denied it as usual.

Ah there it is. Hiki smiled and pulled out two thin pieces of paper, if Xiaoyu wasn't busy they could go. Or she'd end up trying to buy three for Kazama. She'd mind him tagging along, it was cool and all also a good friend to the bouncy girl but he was so quiet. That type of stay away from me silence it was eerie and Hiki felt uncomfortable. He seemed only interested in Xiaoyu, something about a tournament on some island where he saved her life. Or was it the other way around?

"Hiki san!" A voice called, she looked up to she her friend Xiaoyu. She was a small girl with dark hair in two pigtail, she was in her school uniform but normally she'd have her pink sundress on. It was the middle of summer and they were almost in their holidays. That's how Hiki persuaded her friend to give her the tickets. Their exams were over and they deserved a break, or so Hiki worded it and she got the tickets for a low price. Xiaoyu sat gracefully beside her and with a huge smile.

"So? Did you get them?" She asked excitedly, Hiki held up two tickets between her fingers. Xiaoyu pulled her fist into her side and cheered. She then looked through them and a cross of disappointment crossed her face.

"What's wrong?" she asked shocked.

"There's only three." She sighed, just like Hiki predicted. She yanked at Xiaoyu's pigtail who yelped at the sudden force.

"Who else are we inviting?" She grinned, Xiaoyu's cheeked subtly change from their pale moonlight color to red, similar to Hiki's hair.

"Well, Jin might… you know, he's a friend and I…well if he wants he could… only if you…" She stammered, Hiki chuckled into her hands. They were friends, yeah right whatever more like belated lovers, of course she'd never admit. Hiki zipped up her bag but accidentally a third ticket fluttered to the ground, oh yeah she forgot she did ask her friend for three nuts.

"Hmph, and I was gonna make you beg." Hiki grumbled with a sneaky smile on her face, Xiaoyu wrapped her arms around her. Her face bright with happiness.

"He probably might not even come." She said sadly, her smile gone from her face. Hiki looked at her friend's suddenly gloomy face, then she became concerned and rested a hand on her shoulder.

"Why d'you say that?" She asked, "you can normally worm him around you're little finger." She teased, Xiaoyu punched her playfully in the shoulder glaring at her.

"Not true!" She yelled with a smile but then her expression changed back into that gloomy depressed face, "lately he's been quiet, he doesn't talk as much as he use to and he seems so distance as if something's bothering him." Hiki listened carefully in her mind that was how to describe Jin but she had to admit that Xiaoyu and him weren't talking as much as they use to, nor was he coming to school as often as he use to. Teachers were worrying about him and so was Xiaoyu, more then anyone else. Hiki wished she could do something for her normally bouncy friend. Those eyes were glassy and stared straight through her, maybe she should ask Jin about. He wouldn't answer her but it was worth a try, maybe it was something he might be keeping from Xiaoyu or maybe he was going to ask her something. She gasped and clapped her hands on her face.

"Kawaiii!" She gasped, Xiaoyu looked at her peculiarly.

"That he's not talking to me?" She asked, she shook her head and leant her head back on the tree. Xiaoyu was going to get a boyfriend, that was so cool. Now she needed to talk to Jin and tell him how Xiaoyu was worrying about him.

"Don't worry Xiaoyu everything will be fine." She smiled and pushed up to her feet and hurried off.

He looked down at the two girls, the dark haired girl he remembered from the last tournament she was the one with that panda. He covered his mouth a chuckled, she was also the one that went to the same school as that devil spawned kid. Jin Kazama, he gritted his teeth at that name. The boy had ended a lifetime of his work, he wanted to get his back. He watched the red head hurry off, Ling Xiaoyu followed closely behind. Now who was she? A friend of the girl's and that boy's, he watch them disappear from the tree where he hid and he dropped to the ground.

"Hey you!" Someone called out to him he recognized that voice. A smile curled on his face and he turned to come face to face with the boy. His dark hair that spiked and fizzed all over the place was the Mishima trait, as well as those dark eyes. He looked more like his mother the annoying wench, come to think of it that girl he hung around looked similar to her. He waved at Jin with a smirk on his face.

"Hello nephew." He greeted. In return he got a cold stare from the hard face youth, he always looked like that anyway.

"I'm not you're nephew." He spat vehemently, he nodded at the boy with a play pout.

"Pity that." He mocked a sigh, he turned his back to the boy and stared in the direction of the departed girls. He ran his hand through his hair, "I might not of had to kill that girl what's her name Xiaoyu?" He chuckled he could feel the tense feeling behind him, the boy cared for the girl. Just like he though how weak he then turned and opened his hand. Jin's fist was caught in it and he laughed at the feeble attempt.

"You can't possibly care for her." He goaded him, Jin looked into his eyes something flashed past the shiny black orbs. He lost his focus for a moment and something shot through him and he found himself flung through the air. He landed hard against the tree, he began to see white flashes but his sight quickly returned. He saw Jin's departing back and he staggered to his feet.

"Could she accept what you are?" He yelled, the continued to walk away, "doesn't matter because when you're gets home she'll find a invitation to the new tournament. Then how will you protect her and I'm not talking about the other fighters!" He yelled, the freak finally stopped. He looked as if he too had been thinking that, he looked at him think. Good the seed is sown and with that he ran off…

Let the battles begin!
