A/N: Hi peoples! Well, my comp…..hasn't been looked at yet! Its being delayed even further coz my dad's friend is waitin 4 sum1 2 come back frm another country and then format it coz then it wud b much faster. So that means 2 things….1: U guys will be hearing more from me and 2: More comp problems 4 me :P but the latter doesn't matter right now (hey that rhymed :D). What matters now is another chapter of I believe from Thee Slushee (oooh, a half rhyme :P why am I feeling so poetic 2day?)

I don't and never will own the Tekken series, Namco will always be its supreme ruler. Now to my chapter.

Chapter 10: The Conflict begins

"So, do you wanna hang out after practice today?" Miharu asked as she stepped out of Asuka's car the next day for practice. Asuka lifted a lever near the driver's seat to open up the boot and then slammed the door shut.

"Sorry Miharu, I kinda have plans today." Asuka said in an apologetic way. She opened up the boot. Asuka took out the stand and lifted one side of the keyboard. Miharu lifted the other and the two started walking sideways towards the rehearsal hall.

"Do these plans consist of Hwoarang by any chance?" Miharu asked, a sneaky grin appearing on her face.

"We're just going to see a movie, no big deal." Asuka said quickly.

"Sure it isn't Suki." Miharu teased. It was silent for a few seconds.

"You like him, don't you?" Miharu said is as more of a statement than a question. This caught Asuka by surprise and she couldn't help blushing.

"Well…he's a great guy…" Asuka started.

"Aha! I knew it!" Miharu exclaimed.

"Well, you did make it hideously obvious from the start since you always talked about him." Miharu added afterwards.

"But I don't blame you…he is kinda cute." Miharu said, giggling a little afterwards. The two finally reached the rehearsal hall and met up with Hwoarang, who helped set up Asuka's keyboard.

"So, is today still on?" Hwoarang asked Asuka.

"Of course it is. I attempted to hang out with her but she isn't shaken easily." Miharu answered sarcastically.

"What movie should we see?" Asuka asked.

"I reckon you guys should check out King Kong, directed by THEE Peter Jackson." Miharu suggested. (A/N: Yup, another thing we here in NZ are proud of. The New Zealander Peter Jackson!)

"Yeah, the graphics on King Kong are amazing." Asuka said. Hwoarang shrugged.

"There really isn't anything else worth watching so sure." After the bassist and the drummer arrived, the practice had commenced with Miharu, once again, sitting on the floor criticising the music.

Asuka was at home, taking the necessities to the movies. Hwoarang was waiting outside in his car while Asuka stuffed everything into a bag. Phone, wallet…wait, check if everything's in it: ID, driver's licence, and money, Asuka recited out mentally as she flicked through her wallet. When she was satisfied, she threw it into her handbag. Her eyes fell upon the two notes she had received. Asuka hesitated a little bit. If Jin found those, I'll be dead…and whoever wrote these of course. Deciding not to take any chances, Asuka took the notes, stuffed them in her handbag and hurried out of her apartment.

Hwoarang and Asuka were in queue to buy tickets.

"Alright, we'll head on over to the 2 o'clock screening." Asuka stated as she read the electronic board with the movie times that sat on the wall over the counters.

"Don't forget the essentials; 2 large popcorns, a frozen coke, an ice cream plus some starburst lollies." Hwoarang reminded with a goofy smile.

"Does your stomach have an end to it?" Asuka joked.

"Yours is a whole lot bigger than mine. Remember when you downed 20 cups of noodles at that Chinese place?" Hwoarang said.

"Hey, I was deprived of breakfast and lunch." Asuka said, laughing at that memory.

"Hey Hwoarang, do you think you can pay for my ticket? I gotta go." Asuka asked, handing her bag over to Hwoarang.

"Where?…oh, right. Sure." Hwoarang said, taking Asuka's bag.

"Thanks heaps." With that, Asuka hurried off. Hwoarang took out his wallet in his pocket and zipped open Asuka's bag to take her wallet out. He saw her wallet and 2 pieces of paper. Well what are these…wait, I can't see them. These are Asuka's. Hwoarang took out Asuka's wallet and caught an xoxo in one of the notes. What the…Hwoarang took out the notes and skimmed through it. His eyes widened after reading them.

When Asuka returned, Hwoarang was standing there with his arms crossed. He looked mad about something.

"Is something wrong?" Asuka asked Hwoarang with worry. Hwoarang lead Asuka to a less crowded corridor near the cinema.

"Is there any particular reason why you didn't tell me about these?" Hwoarang asked, holding up the notes that were in her bag. Asuka gasped. She had completely forgotten that the notes were in her bag.

"Well I…you see…I'm not sure - " Asuka struggled to find a way to explain it to him.

"I should've known all this time! How could I think you were different? You're just like the rest you slut!" Hwoarang hissed. Asuka was shrinking before him, scared out of her mind.

"I didn't do anything – " Asuka began, tears started forming in her eyes.

"You know what? I shouldn't be wasting any frickin' time on you. You're just a no good two-timing bitch!" With that, Hwoarang threw the notes at her and stormed off. Asuka was frozen to the spot for a few seconds and then tears started falling freely from her eyes. She fell to the ground and sobbed, picking up the notes and then ripping them to shreds. Asuka picked herself up and started power walking out of the cinema and towards the car park. Anger was brewing inside her, how could Hwoarang do this to her? The passer-bys were staring at her as they walked passed but she didn't pay any attention to them. All she was thinking about was how much she hated Hwoarang.

Asuka was out on the car park and realised she didn't have a ride home. Asuka took out her phone and was about to call Lili when she realised how far away she lived. Lili lives too far out from here…Xiao lives the closest. I'll fill her in about the whole situation. She speed dialled Xiaoyu's number and awaited her voice.

Xiaoyu was at home, bumming around on the couch. Her hand was automatically reaching into a bag of cheezels and stuffing them into her mouth as she watched reruns of the OC. Xiaoyu's popcorn ringtone started ringing throughout the apartment. She lazily reached out for her cellphone and looked at the caller ID. She flipped it open and held it to her ear.

"Hey Suki." Xiaoyu said, her mouth half full of cheezels.

"X-Xiao…can you…pick me up? I'm at…the cinema carpark." Asuka's voice sounded on the other end. Her voice was shaky, she was hiccupping and sniffing. All these things pointed to one thing: she was crying. Xiaoyu immediately swallowed the cheezels in her mouth and instantly sat up.

"What's wrong Suki?" Xiaoyu asked in a worried tone.

"I'll fill you in later…can you please…come now?" Asuka asked.

"Sure, I'm coming." Xiaoyu said quickly and snapped her phone shut. What happened to Suki?

A/N: OoOoOoOo! Now this is the juicy stuff. I'm not sure what exactly was sed in the actual situation between guy n girl, I just made it up but the basic concept was right. Was it dramatic? Or was it a pathetic attempt at drama? I feel soooo bad doing this to Hwoarang but it had to happen. I don't blame u Hwoarang fans (looks at Hibeki and xxxTekkenBabexxx) if u come up to my house with torches and pitchforks. All I can say in my defenceis that I'm SORRY! Hope u liked the chapter anyway. Tell me thru...REVIEW!
