Chapter Two: Julia's Arrival
Xiaoyu was in the kitchen preparing a nice Welcome Julia dinner. Xiaoyu's pet panda was also helping her prepare the food. Pots and pans were scattered across the floor and food substances were splattered around the top of the counters. Xiaoyu's forte wasn't in cooking but she had to at least try.
"Panda we have to fix something special for Julia. We have to make her feel like she is at home." Xiaoyu exclaimed.
Panda shook her head in agreement. She was fond of Julia. She was just as excited as Xiaoyu was that Julia was coming.
"Xiaoyu" Jin replied in Japanese.
"Yes" Xiaoyu said as she looked up at Jin.
"I'm leaving" he replied.
"Oh okay. Bye Jin." Xiaoyu said in Japanese as she continued with the dinner she was preparing. Xiaoyu wondered why Jin never spoke in English. Maybe he couldn't. He was the dark and mysterious type. She wonders what goes through his head sometimes but she didn't give it much thought.
Jin headed outside leaving for home. He had to get home before Heihachi. He hated being around his grandfather and the Mishima Zaibatsu. His grandfather had a sick and twisted mind. He remembers when he first set foot inside the house. It was after his mother, Jun Kazama was attacked by an mysterious being named Ogre. He went to his grandfather and Heihachi took him under his wing and taught him the advanced form of Mishima Karate. It was during the King of Iron Fist Tournament that he realize that his grandfather was crazy. After defeating Ogre and avenging his mother. The Tekken Forces fired multiple shots at him. Clinging onto dear life, Jin reached up to Heihachi asking for help. But Heihachi pulled a gun from behind his back and shot Jin point blank in the head. He was only 19 years old. Why would his grandfather betray him at the time was beyond him. Heihachi left him for dead. But something inside of Jin triggered. He grew black wings that sprouted out of his back. His eyes were red with evil and rage. He charged at Heihachi ramming his head into a brick wall. He gained control of his wings and flew off in the distance.
A soft voice interrupted Jin's train of thought. He looked down to see a set of hazel eyes staring at his.
"Excuse me but do you know where Konamaru Drive is? I'm looking for a friend." She said politely.
Jin turned away. He obviously didn't feel like helping her. He had other stuff to attend to. Before he could walk away, and hand tugged on his arm lightly.
"Please could you help me? I just arrived here from Arizona. I am supposed to meet my friend Xiaoyu" Julia said softly.
Jin turned his attention back to the girl. This was the girl that Xiaoyu was talking about.
"Come on. I'll take you to her house." Jin said in Japanese. Julia had a confused look on her face.
"Uh, I don't understand. I don't speak Japanese." Julia said.
Jin shrugged; he grabbed her by the arm and dragged her to Xiaoyu's house. Jin opened the door and both he and Julia walked inside to see the kitchen completely ransacked.
"Waah, this is terrible! I haven't cooked anything and Julia could be here any moment." Xiaoyu whined.
"Xiaoyu." Julia said walking over towards Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu raised her head and was elated to see Julia.
"Julia!" Xiaoyu exclaimed as she jumped to her feet and gave Julia a tight hug. Panda walked over to Julia and pressed her head up against Julia's leg.
"Hi Panda, how have you been?" Julia asked. Panda shook her head up and down and smiled.
Xiaoyu realized that she was squeezing Julia. "Oh sorry about that. I thought that you weren't coming." Xiaoyu said.
Julia put her bags down on the floor. She looked for the boy who helped her to Xiaoyu's house.
"Where is he?" Julia asked.
"Where is who?" Xiaoyu questioned.
"This boy I met. He helped me find your house. I didn't the chance to thank him." Julia said softly.
"I'm sure that you'll meet him again. After all this is Japan. Now let me show you to your room." Xiaoyu said as she picked up Julia's bags and walked Julia to her new room. Julia entered inside and was amazed. Her room was a pretty nice size. It was decorated with purple, pink, and blue. A queen size bed, a 27 inch plasma TV, with a dvd/vcr, a bookcase, dresser. Everything.
"Do you like it?" Xiaoyu said setting Julia's bags down,
"It's beautiful. Thank you Xiaoyu." Julia said giving her a big hug.
"Well Julia I am fixing to take a shower. If you need anything just let me know." Xiaoyu said smiling. Julia nodded her head. She grabbed her bags and began to unpack. She wish that she could have had the chance to thank him. Hopefully she would get the chance to.
