A/N: Gomen nasai! There is no reason that this hasn't been updated in a while except that I had a major writer's block. I apologize deeply and hope you find it in your heart to forgive me. Please enjoy this chapter!

Hwoarang: The authoress doesn't own Tekken, just the Nagashima family. And don't kill her for not updating, or then this story will come to a dead stop.

Kiyoko: That was an awful pun.

The day was drearily overcast. Jin Kazama watched as dark clouds rolled across the sky, waiting for the next match to begin. He had finished his match a few hours ago and had won, naturally. So now Jin was patiently waiting for Kiyoko's next match. She had been training a lot lately and she wouldn't tell Jin who her opponent was. Of course, Jin could check if he wanted but if she wanted it to be a surprise then he didn't really want to ruin it.

"KAZAMA!"

Jin mentally groaned when he heard the voice belonging to the Korean.

"What?" he all but snarled, taking his eyes off of the sky to glare at the redhead.

"Where's Kiyoko?"

Jin raised an eyebrow, "Her match is about to start. You'll have to wait to talk to her until after she finishes."

"Kazama, you have to stop the match!"

Jin had to fight to keep the look of astonishment from his face and maintain his calm exterior, "Why?"

"She's fighting Brian Fury. I can't believe you would even allow her!"

Jin fell deathly silent, a strange aura starting to swirl around him. Hwoarang frowned. That was not the reaction he was expecting.

"KAZAMA! LET'S GO!" Hwoarang snarled, grabbing Jin's arm and dragging him down to the arena.

Hwoarang was so distracted by his thought to save his Kiyoko that he didn't hear the feral growl that escaped Jin's throat.

"Don't you want to save Kiyoko? Stop dragging your feet!" Hwoarang snapped, struggling in his attempt to drag Jin's body weight. The man was a lot heavier than the wiry Korean.

Jin blinked and shook his head, looking around in a daze.

"Kiyoko Nagashima versus Brian Fury! Ready? FIGHT!"

"Kazama! Stop the match!" Hwoarang said in frustration, grabbing the silent man by the shoulders and shaking him.

Jin watched helplessly as Kiyoko began her fight with the violent cyborg. No power could stop a match once the referee signaled the beginning of the fight.

"I…can't," Jin muttered, not looking Hwoarang in the eye.

"What? Why not?" Hwoarang snarled, grabbing the saddened man by the collar.

"I don't have the power to stop the match. No one does."

Kiyoko cried out when Brian's simple three move combo crushed her ankle, instantly gaining the attention of Hwoarang and Jin. She limped away from Brian, but not without getting in a power kick to his gut with her good leg.

"Like hell no one does," Hwoarang muttered, releasing Jin and rushing down to the arena.

Jin watched in awe as the fiery Korean hopped into the ring and pulled Kiyoko out of the way of Brian's skull crushing punch. The man frowned at the Korean and started a heated argument with Hwoarang. Said Korean was yelling and shaking his fist at Brian Fury, all while keeping a confused Kiyoko safely behind him.

"Excuse me," someone tapped Jin on the shoulder.

Jin turned and ended up looking into the chocolate brown eyes of Satoshi Nagashima.

"Can I help you?" Jin asked impatiently when he realized that the tall man had gotten distracted by what was happening in the arena.

"Ah, sorry," Satoshi apologized, "You're Jin Kazama, right? I was wondering if I could discuss some business plans with you later tonight."

Jin nodded absentmindedly and replied, "You can meet me at my temporary housing arrangements tonight at 9:00."

"Excellent! I will see you there!" Satoshi said excitedly, leaving as quickly as he had appeared.

"Kiyoko Nagashima! You are disqualified!" the referee declared, interrupting the fight that was about to break out between Brian Fury and Hwoarang.

Kiyoko nodded dejectedly and limped towards the medical room. She let out a yelp when someone scooped her up into their arms and carried her bridal style. Kiyoko looked up into the eyes of Hwoarang. She turned away and crossed her arms, but didn't' make a move to get away from him either.

"Kiyoko," Hwoarang trailed off, unsure of how to proceed.

"I'm listening," Kiyoko said softly, still not looking him in the eye.

"I'm sorry, Kiyoko. I never meant to hurt you. I was just…scared," Hwoarang finished pathetically.

Kiyoko giggled, making Hwoarang look down at her incredulously.

"You just stood up to and argued with Brian Fury, but you're afraid of commitment?" she erupted into peals of laughter.

Hwoarang pouted, "I can't help it. It's who I am."

Kiyoko planted a soft kiss on his lips and said, "Well maybe it's time to change that…after you get me to the doctor so they can set my ankle."

She smiled up at him contently, setting his heart racing.

A/N: Well Satoshi is coming over later and Kiyoko has forgiven Hwoarang. But Kiyoko has yet to meet Daisuke again as well as Aoi. And what happened to Takeo? See you guys next chapter! Please review! :)
