A/N: Right I've changed Forrest to Forest. It's just confusing how they spell his name. LOL. This is gunna be a short chapter.
On with the show...
Chapter Three
Julia inserted the small disk into the computer and waited for it to load up. After clicking on the run button, the computer hummed and the file presented itself to her. She typed in the password and smiled when the hidden files were on display. "Bingo."
Dr Abel towered over her and looked at the screen. "Well done Jules, now you can get promoted." He told her and his wrinkly hand crept over shoulder, resting on a soft spot. Julia stiffened as Dr Abel began to caress her skin with his cracked finger tips. Quickly, she shoved herself out of his way.
"What are you doing?" Julia stammered, staring at her boss in disbelief.
He looked as if he did nothing wrong. "You're getting promoted." He shrugged and unzipped his pants. "Besides, the last time I got laid was 50 years ago."
Julia stared at him, mortified.
...
A body was sent smashing out of the glass, crashing onto the floor with shards of glass. Julia clapped her hands and put the disk back into her bag. Dr Abel lay stunned on the floor.
"That's the last time you try and touch me you disgusting old man." Julia gave him a kick on her way out.
Dr Abel looked at her in horror and shame. Julia moved away from him and proceeded to walk out. When she reached the door, she stopped and turned her head. "Oh and I quit."
She couldn't believe the nerve of that disgusting old pervert.
...
Being an intern was great at the start. She had met so many hardworking people and Dr Abel had been one of them until today. Who knew he was really a sick pervert who lusted after young girls? He was older then her grandfather for Christ sakes! Julia put her face into her hands and sulked at the bus stop.
With her quitting her internship, she had to find something else to do. All her life she had wanted an internship at the G corporation but now all that was shattered because of one stupid sadistic pervert. Even if they learnt of his true nature, she never ever wanted to go back there again.
She had the disk that was her personal project. Without any internship, it was useless to her. She had no access to a lab. This forest rejuvenation data was highly important to her. The Mishima Zaibatsu had wanted it and Julia didn't doubt that Dr Abel was now on the phone to one of the workers at the Zaibatsu, telling them about the disk. She wasn't safe. She knew she had to enlist somebody's help but whose?
She desperately needed someone who had no affiliation with both G corporation and Mishima Zaibatsu. The only company that came to mind was violet systems.
Julia sighed.
She was screwed.
...
Xiaoyu leapt into the kitchen and cried when she found the entire kitchen dressed in smoke. "Oh no!" She wailed and grabbed the oven handle; turning the oven off at the same time, she opened the oven, put on some mitts while crying and pulled out the burnt cake. "Oh no!" She sobbed, placing the demolished cake onto the electric stove.
Seconds later, Hwoarang charged into the room. "Oh my shit!" Hwoarang dashed in, coughing as soon as he entered the kitchen. "Xiao, what the fuck did you do this time?" He waved his hand over his face and pinched his nose.
"I burnt the cake." She hiccupped and collapsed to the floor in tears.
"Oh for fucks sake!" Hwoarang cursed as he ran to open some windows and stuck his head out. "I can't even motherfucking breathe."
Nina walked in the kitchen and found the tarnished cake sitting on the stove; instantly she knew it was Xiaoyu's fault and she sighed. "I told you Xiaoyu, you just don't listen. Law should have baked the cake."
"I'm sorry!" Xiaoyu sobbed harder, wishing her panda was here to comfort her.
Baek entered the kitchen and used his leg to fan out the smoke. "Huyah!" Baek let out a sound as he fanned out the smoke with his fast leg.
Nina stifled a laugh and Hwoarang removed his head from the window. "I tried to make a carrot cake and I ruined it!" Xiaoyu wailed hopelessly.
"...and to think that I wasted my motherfucking time peeling carrots." Hwoarang snorted. "Life sucks."
"Ok, it's alright." Baek said. "Don't worry about it Xiaoyu. It's just a cake." Baek approached the sobbing little girl.
"I did it for our newcomer...he was supposed to have a welcome cake and I burnt it." Xiaoyu racked in sobs. "I can't believe it!" Baek patted Xiaoyu who continued to cry.
Hwoarang rolled his eyes and muttered to Nina. "I think she needs a pacifier."
Nina shook her head, trying not to giggle. It's not that she didn't like the girl, it was on how Xiaoyu always over reacted to things. It was really funny and Hwoarang wasn't helping with his funny mean remarks.
Forest entered the kitchen with a big white box in his hand. "No need to worry guys, I made this cake at home." Forest announced proudly.
"And Forest Law saves the day." Nina clapped, sending Forrest a polite smile. "Thanks."
"You're welcome." Forrest smiled back.
"Forest!" Xiaoyu stopped sobbing as Forest put the bow down on the counter and then she took her chance to throw herself in his arms. "Thank you so much!" She peppered kisses over Forest's face. "I love you so much."
Hwoarang whistled and scratched the back of his head. "Looks like they need to get a room." He told Nina quietly.
"Thank you Forest." Baek gave the Chinese guy a nod.
Thank god for teamwork, Baek thought.
...
At dinner, Xiaoyu made it clear that she wanted the seat next to Jin Kazama. Neither of them were bothered, Nina in particular who wished to stay as far away from Jin Kazama as possible; Hwoarang was no different and as usual both Baek and Forest didn't mind the seating arrangements.
Jin Kazama had made a quick phone call to Heihachi and had joined them at their dinner table again.
"Welcome back." Baek greeted him.
"Jiiiinn!" Xiaoyu grinned and clapped as he took his seat. "Here you go." She shoved a plateful of dinner towards him; while he was absent, she had taken the liberty and filled his plate up with food.
He looked uneasy but thanked her and grabbed his fork reluctantly. "I even made a gravy volcano for you." Xiaoyu told him, pointing at his mash.
At this point, Hwoarang burst out laughing.
Everyone looked at him. "What's so funny Hwoarang?" Forest asked, trying hard not to allow himself to laugh along with Hwoarang.
When Hwoarang laughed, everybody laughed.
It was contagious.
Xiaoyu pointed her angry beady eyes at Hwoarang and squeaked, "Yeah, what's so funny Hwoarang?"
In between his laughter, Hwoarang spluttered, "Xiao you didn't have to make him a gravy volcano. He's not a baby."
"Shup ut!" Xiaoyu folded her arms and turned her head towards the side, hitting Jin straight in the face with a pig tail of hers. Jin flinched and rubbed his eyes.
"Let's just eat." Baek picked up his knife.
Minutes later, Xiaoyu had engaged in a conversation with Jin. She began to narrate her life story to him, talking about Panda and her dreams of building an amusement park. All Jin could do was nod to let her know he was listening between mouthfuls of food.
"...and it will be called Xiaoyu land." Xiaoyu slapped her hands around and Jin moved back so he wouldn't get hit by her busy hands.
Why the hell did I sit next to her? Jin wondered.
"For god's sake Xiao, he doesn't want to know that." Hwoarang flicked a grape at her as soon as Baek left the table to bring the cake.
"Stop it!" Xiaoyu moved her hands around, whipping them in the air and Jin almost fell out of his hair while trying to dodge her hands.
"Jin, sit in my seat." Forest picked up on Jin's discomfort and stood up.
Jin stood up, relieved but Xiaoyu grabbed his wrists; refraining him from taking a step away from her, she pleaded him to stay seated next to her.
"Please Jin! Don't leave me!" Xiaoyu bawled, on the verge of tears.
"That's why I don't sit by Xiao." Nina sighed and Hwoarang agreed.
Jin looked really uncomfortable and struggled out of Xiaoyu's grip. He gave a forced apologetic look to the small Chinese girl before grabbing his plate. When he crossed paths with Forest, he silently thanked him. Jin took his seat across Nina who averted her eyes from his gaze.
Forest took Jin's former seat and Xiaoyu cried. "Why?"
"Oh shut the hell up." Hwoarang flicked another grape at Xiaoyu.
...
The moment Jin walked into the Mishima mansion, Heihachi was found sitting in the lounge. "You know when a Mishima is late, that's ok." Heihachi grumped. Jin stopped in his tracks with his head down. Heihachi continued. "But when a Mishima begins to have sleepovers at other people's homes...it's something to worry about."
With the last words, Heihachi turned around and stood up. He took a few steps towards Jin. "Whose this girl you've been fooling around with?"
Jin raised his eyes. "W-what?" He stammered, shocked.
"Us Mishima's are handsome men, Jin. Women throw themselves at our feet. Yes, we can enjoy it but you are inexperienced. You do not know safety...how to control your urges." Heihachi coughed.
Jin shook his head. "I haven't been with any girl." He replied in honestly, unfazed by this particular conversation.
"Sure you haven't." Heihachi laughed and patted Jin on the back. "Don't worry boy, tonight I'm holding such a party that will have lots of girls in it."
A look of discomfort flashed across Jin's face. "And you're the special guest of honor." Heihachi added, with a devilish grin.
Jin didn't like where this conversation was going.
"I'd rather you didn't." Jin calmly replied.
"Sir, someone is on the phone for you," One of Heihachi's men interrupted.
Heihachi raised his hand, gesturing for his men to have the caller on hold while he finished his conversation with Jin.
"It's going to be fun." Heihachi insisted. "Besides, a young boy like you needs to unleash those raging hormones. I'll bring the best girls to you. You can count on your grandfather, Jin." Heihachi promised and then excused himself, leaving a troubled Jin standing in the lounge.
...
A/N: Xiaoyu said "Shup ut." – That is not a typo error and it was intended to show how immature she is at this stage.
I hope you guys liked this chapter. I've finally introduced Julia Chang and Heihachi Mishima.
