Disclaimer : Do I really have to tell you ? Fine, I don't own Soulcalibur but I do own this story so ha !

Here's a little Author's note : When the whole Yunsung Talim incident took place, it was Thursday but now it is Saturday ok ? Now, on with the story

Ring ! Ring ! Ring !

' God. This is my first weekend in my new home and new town. Why do I have to wake up ? Why does this seem so familiar ? Oh well might as well wake up ! Hey ! This is a replay of my first day of school ! Well, the first day of school wasn't so bad and yesterday wasn't bad either. Ivy, as I can call her now seems to be opening up more and actually let a smile slip, again ! And I saw Yunsung play a football game ! Oh my god ! I actually watched football ! And he was actually pretty good but he couldn't run as fast as during our fight. I guess my Blade Cyclone was too strong. I'll apologize later. '

Talim got out of her bed and took a shower. She laid out her hair today and put on a green tubetop and a jean miniskirt. She went downstairs to make breakfast and continued her thoughts again. ' Yesterday, dad went to visit mom and he's staying there for 3 days. And since dad didn't want me home alone yet, I convinced him to let me stay at the Hong's house.'

Talim was toasting some bread and cooking some eggs while still thinking. ' I guess it's gonna be fun rooming with Mina and Yunsung. Wait. I think I'm forgetting something. Ah ha ! I could still ask Yunsung to do anything and I forgot all about it ! Well, it seems the dream mystery will be solved soon.'

Beepbeepbeep ! Beepbeepbeep !

The fire alarm was ringing ! Talim was too busy thinking to realize the toast burnt and that she completely overcooked her eggs. " Dang. Ow hot !" she threw away her eggs and toast and put the pan in the sink. Since Talim was supposed to meet them after she had breakfast, she decided to have a quick breakfast of cereal.

After she was done eating, she went upstairs to go pack. She got her toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, clothes, accessories, money, and a couple of ribbons and mini-circlets.

Talim arrived at the house and was about to go knock but saw a handsome young man at the door. He had on a serious expression but that was just a mask over his happiness. Talim could tell. Mina opened the door and when she saw saw him, she screamed and jumped in his arms.

When Yunsung heard Mina scream, he rushed downstairs only to see his old friend and rival. The man was Hwang Seoung-gyeong. When Yunsung and Seoung-Mina were young and Mina's dad was alive, they found Hwang in the streets. He had amnesia so they raised him. A couple of years later, Hwang went with Yunsung's uncle to travel the world.

Hwang became a successful swordsman on his journeys which led Yunsung to becoming one. But when Hwang came to visit once, he reported that Yunsung's uncle had died and that he would like to continue his travels alone. A month before Talim arrived, he called and asked if he could live with them.

Of course they said yes but he said it would be a surprise when he would show up. Yunsung sighed and let Mina hug him as much as she wanted. Over the years, Mina has developed a crush on him but only Yunsung knew. She didn't exactly tell him though, instead, he read it in her diary so he was forever banned from Mina's room.

" Oh my god Hwang ! You came here so early ! You usually take forever ! " Hwang just smiled. He looked at Yunsung and just gave a nod of greeting. Yunsung also gave one back and then he saw Talim in the background smiling. He quietly sneaked out the back with only Hwang noticing.

Hwang sensed Yunsung coming behind him but continued past him, across the street. Yunsung quietly appeared behind Talim and was about to ambush her but Talim already sensed his aura. Right when Yunsung sprung at her, she performed a back layout and appeared right behind him and kicked his ass, literally.

" Hey shorty. Hahaha. " Yunsung smiled sheepishly. After the previous Friday, he went to see Talim after he won his football game and just then realized how short she was. So he developed the name for her to finalize their new friendship. Of course she also had a counter name. " Hey there jockey red-head. "

It wasn't much of an insult but it would bother Yunsung if someone besides his family or Talim called him that. Hwang and Seoung-Mina both saw his butt get kicked so Mina started laughing like crazy while Hwang only chuckled. Yunsung flushed red from embaressment and quickly stood up and regained composure.

Mina suddenly got an idea ! " Hey let's all have a feast for Hwang and Talim's arrival ! " Hwang didn't know this Talim girl much but he figured it must have the girl that just humiliated Yunsung.

" Wait ! We don't have all the ingredients ! Yun, Tal ! Can you two go to the store and buy the groceries ? " Before either of them could say anything, she gave Yunsung a list of ingredients and money and pushed them off towards the market.

" Wait Talim, come here. " Talim came forward. " Here, give me your bag, I'll take it. Take care of your boyfriend and buy all the right stuff k ? ", " Ok ? " Talim walked back toward Yunsung and just realized what Mina said and what she said in response. " Mina ! " Mina started laughing which made Talim laugh too.

Even though Talim didn't know Mina for long, she liked her ability to make other people laugh just when she laughs. 'She is probably the reason Yunsung has that goofy attitude. ' Talim smiled and ran after Yunsung who was already heading to the market.

When Yunsung and Talim went around the corner, Mina and Hwang went into the house. " Hwang thanks for coming in time. ", " Your welcome. " Hwang replied.

" Do you think this will work ? They both clearly care about eachother but are we right to interfere ? " Mina asked, seeming worried.

" The Yunsung I knew was pretty stubborn and since he grew, he's probably even more stubborn. And from whet you told me about the girl, Talim, she just might be even more stubborn than Yunsung. If we didn't give them an extra push, they would never accept of even discover their feelings. "

" Your probably right, but I just don't feel right trying to hook them up without their consent. " Mina sighed.

" It's going to be alright. The prophecy has to come true. Don't worry. They already had the Dream of Awakening. I could tell it in their eyes. But they are both afraid of love. ' With the kiss of wind and fire, there souls will be intertwined with the ancient sword and destiny will take its path '.

" Your right. It is going to be ok. " Mina got out of serious mode and went back to being happy. " Besides, it won't even come for another year so at least we all get to finish high school ! "

" Your right, we ALL will finish high school. " Hwang said.

" Wait, what do you mean all ? Does that mean that... " Mina was really excited now.

" Hey Mina, want to go with me to pick up my new uniform ? "

" AAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH ! COME ON ! LET'S GO ! " Mina quickly sprinted out the door... dragging Hwang along with her.

Yunsung was just walking lazily to the store with his hands behind his head with Talim following just behind.

" Hey jock-head, what's on the list ? " Talim asked.

" Hmmm, let's see. A turkey, roast beef, sweet potatoes, rice cakes, corn, carrots, broccoli, a couple of cans of ' Rice Dream ' ...

" Hmmm ? WHAT THE HECK IS THAT ? " they both said. Neither of them have even heard of that before, nonetheless how to find it. They would just find it last they thought.

As they were walking, Talim and Yunsung suddenly heard crying. Talim rushed towards the noise and found a little girl on the street crying.

" Are you ok ? " Talim asked. The child was still crying so Talim held her in a tight embrace. 10 minutes later, she finally stopped long enough to mutter, " My .sniff. mommy went into the school .sniff. and didn't come out yet .sniff. and my .sniff. daddy left too. "

" Come on shorty, lets go already."

" Yunsung ! What are you saying ? Of course we'll help her. Right ? " Yunsung looked away but he could feel her eyes on her head. " Yyyuuunnnnsssuuunnnggg ! We are gonna help her rrriiigghhhttt ? " Yunsung sweatdropped. She must be serious to call him his birth name. " O.. oof ... of ... co . c . course he .he .he. he... " he stuttered.

" Ok, come on dear, let's go find your momma. "

They walked hand-in-hand to the school with Yunsung following them behind. They finally made it to the school.

" Red-head. Here, hold her. Wait for me. " Talim gave the girl to Yunsung and ... charged through the school !

She left a trail of dust behind her, including a dumbfounded Yunsung. You could see her jumping on the roofs and running through the building destroying everything in her wake.

After half an hour ..., ' Hehehehe. I wonder how long she can endure all that running. ' Suddenly he saw a cloud of dust coming towards him. As the source came closer, he could see flashes of green and blue. All of a sudden, Talim appeared right in front of them.

" Aaggghhhh. " Yunsung fell backward from the shock.

" Hey ! Jockey red-head. What are you doing on the ground ? Look I found her ! " said Talim happily while pointing to a woman.

" Mommy ! " the child yelled, running into the mother's arm.

" Oh baby. What are you doing here ? I thought I left you with your father ? "

" No, he left me here and went off with another lady. "

Talim and Yunsung were both shocked. How could a father do that ? They both got really angry but calmed down since they realized it wasn't any of their business. But that wasn't gonna stop them for long.

The mom turned to the two teenagers. " Thank you very much. I am sorry, I would like to express more of my appreciation but we must go. " she bowed down and the girl also bowed and then said, " Bye bye. I hope you two the best with eachother. Then they both walked away.

After the dilemma, Yun and Tal were starting home, still slighty embarressed from the previous comment.

They suddenly stopped and thought, ' Why do I have such a strong feeling that we're forgetting something ? ' Then they both realized at the same time what they forgot.

" OH DAMN ! WE FORGOT TO BUY THE GROCERIES ! " and they both ran back to the grocery store.

" Oh my god where are they ? I'm sooooo hungry ! " Mina and Hwang were waiting for the food strewn across the floor and dying from hunger.

YEAH YOU GUYS ! I FINALLY FINISHED CHAPTER 7 ! DANG ! THAT TOOK ME FOREVER TO WRITE ! What were Mina and Hwang talking about ? Will Tal and Yun be able to realize their feelings or buy the groceries ? Tune in to Chapter 8 later. Please Review !
