Summary: After winning the Iron Fist Tournament, Asuka Kazama is given trip around the world… with the other Tekken fighters as her tour guides. The problem is that the other fighters are too busy with their personal lives to give Asuka a proper tour, and Asuka, being the meddler that she is, decides to help. Random stories of Asuka hanging out with other the other fighters.

Disclaimer: I do not own Tekken.

"Aw, come on dad! Give me one good reason why you won't let me join the Iron Fist Tournament!"

"You're too young!"

"Too young?! I'm twenty five!"

"Twenty five and you still don't have any facial hair!"

"That's because I shave it all off every day! It's one of the reasons why we have a razor!"

"You must be mistaken son! I'M the reason we have a razor!"

"Alright fine! But I totally use it too!"

Asuka sighed. She was in Marshall China, a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown owned by the Law family. The food was actually pretty good, the restaurant looked cool, and Mrs. Law was really nice. The only problem right now was the father and son. When Asuka asked them if they were going to participate in the next Iron Fist Tournament, Forest said that he would be participating. Marshall, on the other hand, wouldn't allow it. They've been arguing for about ten minutes now.

Forest finally gave up. "Alright fine! You win this round, but mark my words dad! I'm going to compete in an Iron Fist Tournament eventually, and you can't stop me!" He put some dishes in the dishwasher and went to put on his jacket.

"Where exactly do you think you're going young man?!"

"Out! Don't you remember dad?! We were supposed to show Asuka around! Or are you growing senile?!"

Marshall was reaching his limit. "Okay, that does it kid! You need to learn a little something called 'respect'!"

Forest gave his father a crazed grin. "Oh really?! 'Respect' huh?! Last time I checked, one needs to earn respect to get it!"

"But I'm your father!"

"A great dad you turned out to be! How many times have you given us financial problems?!"

"One of those times was because you had an accident on one of your joyrides!"

Asuka couldn't take this anymore. "Alright, you two obviously need some space." She grabbed her jacket. "Forest, you gonna take me out or not?"

Forest looked at his father and then nodded to Asuka. "Alright."

While they were leaving, they could hear Marshall shout, "Asuka, keep my kid out of trouble all right?! He's a bit of a nut job!"

"Shut up dad!"

Asuka sighed in exasperation. "Only two more days with these guys," she thought. "Actually… that might be too much for me to handle." She was going to have to solve this problem NOW.

"Stupid old' man." Forest grumbled to himself.

Asuka heard that little remark. "You know, you're being an immature brat, you know that!?"

Forest turned to face Asuka, his anger apparent on his face. "Oh, so now you're taking his side huh?!" He looked down in frustration. "Guess I should have known. Of course the kid of a kung-fu master is wrong. I mean, how can a kung-fu master not be right? He's got masterful wisdom and stuff!"

Asuka was scratching her head in frustration. "It's not like that!" She pointed an accusing finger towards Forest. "I get that you want some freedom from your father and all, but you're doing it the wrong way!"

"What do you mean?!"

"You keep yelling at him like that and of course he's going to be defensive and argue about it! You need to be a little bit more calm about this! Bring up the topic after planning and rehearsing your points before hand or something! Don't just yell at him! He's just going to yell at you back!"

Forest looked at her, and after a moment, calmed down a little bit, and said softly, "It doesn't matter anyway. There's no way my dad will let me join a tournament outside of the dojo."

Asuka sighed again. "If you keep thinking like that than you more certainly won't!"

Forest looked at Asuka angrily. "Look, just forget about it okay?!"

"You guys were arguing right in front of me in your own restaurant! How am I supposed to forget about something that happened in front of me!? Heck! You were doing it in public in your own restaurant! If there were more people in there, then they would have just as much right as I have to talk some sense into you two!"

"I said just forget about it! You're only staying for two more days anyway! You can survive two more days can't you?!"

"I know dang well that you guys are gonna talk about this again, and listening to you whining and your dad yelling isn't exactly fun for me; and I'm pretty sure it's no fun for your mom either! Mark my words! I'm going to end this spat today, because believe me, I'm not going to go through this for TWO MORE DAYS!"

Forest stepped back in fear and forced his mouth shut. Asuka had won the previous Iron Fist Tournament, and was known to break up fights in her home country by beating all the participants up. Forest didn't understand that logic, but he knew that if you encountered that type of person, who was dangerous and had that type of questionable logic, it was best to keep your mouth shut when they were angry.

Asuka calmed down and said, "Sorry for yelling, but this is a pretty serious problem ya know! It's obvious that neither of you are gonna back down!"

Forest looked down dejectedly. "Yeah, I guess you're right."

Just then, the two heard a child cry, "Mommy, Daddy! Look! It's the guy who gave us all that money!"

Asuka and Forest looked to find a boy running up to them, with his parents following closely behind.

Forest recognized the family. "Hey! It's you guys!"

"Who are these guys?" Asuka asked.

Forest looked at Asuka and explained, "I ran off once and won an Iron Fist Tournament. The prize was a check with a lot of zeroes (I can't remember how many)! My friend Paul and I were going to use it to live it up in Vegas, but while we were riding there, we saw this family's house up in flames. They were about to lose everything, so we gave them the prize money."

Asuka smiled. "That's really kind of you."

"It was," the father said. "You really helped us out back then. Is there anything we can do to repay you?"

Forest waved it off. "Naw, it's alright. I can't think of anything anyway." He let out a laugh.

"But there must be something we can do!" said the mother. "You gave us the entire check! You had nothing left!"

Asuka's eyes grew. "So wait. You came back home with nothing left?"

Forest scratched his head in embarrassment. "Yeah, my dad was really mad at me. He was all like 'You didn't even save some of it?! Do you have not understand the value of a dollar son!?'" Forest sighed. "He really chewed me out that day."

Asuka couldn't believe this. "Didn't you tell him what happened?" Forest shook his head. "Well why not?"

Forest shrugged. "I don't know. I guess it just felt good to help someone else and keep it as my little secret, I guess." Forest picked the boy up and started playing with him.

Asuka smiled to herself. "Maybe I can end this today."

"WHAT?!" Marshall screamed. "You want me to let Forest participate in these tournaments?!"

Forest looked as shocked as his dad. "Seriously Asuka? You're defending me on this?!" Asuka nodded. Forest was overjoyed. "Oh thank you Asuka! Thank you!"

"Now wait just a minute!" Marshall said holding his hand up in protest. "What she says doesn't mean a thing! I'm still your father and my decision is final!"

"No offense sir." Asuka said calmly. "But Forest needs to… well… grow up! And he can't do that if he's cooped up in here all the time!"

Forest had an annoyed look on his face. "Geez thanks Asuka."

Asuka pulled him close. "Just let me finish," she hissed. She then directed her attention to Marshall once again. "Mr. Law, do you remember when your son won a lot of prize money and came back with none left?"

Marshall crossed his arms. "Yeah, what's your point?"

"My point is that Forest used that money to help a family that was in dire need! I just met them today! They were really grateful to him. So grateful, in fact, that they were willing to pay him back for the money they owed, but he refused!"

Mr. Law looked shocked. Mrs. Law looked impressed. She turned to her son. "Is that true Forest?"

Forest was in shock right now. Someone was on his side for once, on purpose, and that person was arguing with his parents, and that person was winning! For now, Forest just nodded wildly.

Asuka continued, "You see, your son is a pretty irresponsible kid. He's also careless, and immature, and loud, and obnoxious, and… well… let's face it, he's an idiot; but when I saw him with that family, I saw a different side of him. A much more mature side. Your son's going to be a good man someday… but only if you let him go. He needs to experience things for himself in order to grow as a person, or else, he's not gonna grow. Let's see…." Asuka thought for a moment. "If there's a car in a race… and it needs to make a pit stop… and let's say this pit stop keeps the car from continuing in the race… it'll obviously not finish the race. It's may be safer at the pit stop, but the car needs to finish the race sooner or later, and better soon than later, right? Or maybe that was a bad example." Asuka scratched her head in frustration. "Maybe I should have thought this through a little bit more."

"No, no." Mrs. Law said, raising her hand to stop her. "We get it, right honey?"

"Wait, what race are we talking about, an extreme race, or a derby?"

Mrs. Law elbowed her husband in annoyance. "That's not the point."

"Um… yeah!" Asuka was glad she at least had Mrs. Law on her side. "The point is, I think you need to let your son go to tournaments in order for him to mature as a person!"

"Yeah dad!" Forest said. "I need to mature as a person!"

Asuka pointed an accusing finger at Forest. "Don't get all saucy kid! Wrecking a friend's bike after taking a joyride on it?! Teaching your father and friend a suicide move called the 'suicide kip-up'?! Causing traffic accidents?! One time by flinging some nun-chucks out the window!?"

"Wait who told you about all that?!"

"Your mom!"

"Aw Mom!"

"Don't whine! Even you have to admit that you've done some pretty stupid, not to mention dangerous stuff!" Asuka calmed down and calmly motioned to Forest's parents. "You've got a family that cares about you and worries about you! The least you can do is lessen their worries by living a little bit more on the smart side!"

Forest scratched his head and blushed in embarrassment. "Yeah, I guess you're right."

Marshall was shocked. He knew how hard it was to admit you were wrong, and his son was doing just that! Marshall scratched his head and said slowly. "You know… maybe it would be a good idea to let you… compete in some tournaments… outside of the dojo."

Forest looked at his father in shock. "Wait… seriously dad?!"

Marshall smiled at his son. "Yeah… I guess it was wrong for your old man to keep you all cooped at home, huh? From what I heard today, I apparently raised a good kid. And you know what the sad part is? I was too worried about my son to see it!" Marshall looked down at the ground in shame. "Just promise me one thing son."

Forest walked slowly to his father and asked quietly. "What… dad?"

Marshall looked up again to reveal a comedic face, spouting out tears like a fountain. "Just remember to brush your teach twice a day and floss once a day!"

Forest was starting to tear up too. "What do you mean dad?" He sniffled.

"Well," Marshall said in between sobs. "If you're going to grow as a person, and if it means you have to leave the house to do it then you're going to have to live on your own and, you know, have your own apartment or something!"

Forest started sobbing as hard as his dad by this point. He embraced his dad and shouted, "Aw dad! You know I'd never leave you guys!"

"Don't worry about me son!" Marshall hugged back, sobbing even harder now. "This is the part of your life that I've been trying to avoid all this time, but now I need to accept the facts! I'm going to let you go now! It'll be tough, but I'll manage… somehow!"

"No dad!" Forest was crying harder too. "I mean the pay here is lousy! I couldn't afford my own place even if I wanted to!"

"Then I'll lend you some money!"

"No dad, I'll find my own way to raise the money! I'll show you how much of a man I can be!"

"There's no shame in asking for money son!"

"Yeah, but… I don't want to have financial troubles like you do!"

Marshall was bawling now. "That's my son!"

Forest was bawling with his father now. "I love you too dad!"

Asuka looked at the scene in front of her awkwardly. What was she supposed to do now?

Mrs. Law went up to Asuka, put her hand on her shoulder, and said with a smile, "Thank you."

Asuka smiled at Mrs. Law. "No problem! This is kind of my shtick anyway! Maybe now I can enjoy my last two days here!" She looked at the two sobbing men hugging each other on the ground. "But… are they really going to be alright?" With these two, she wasn't really sure.
