Fay splashed some water on her face. I'm more nervous that I thought I would be. I couldn't sleep at all. Why am I fretting over meeting Kazumi Mishima? She had just taken a shower and needed to get ready so she could go with Jin. She sighed, looking at her reflection on the mirror. "I look like shit" she whispered as she made her way to the door. The moment she opened the door, a body pushed her back inside. "Heeeeyy..." she complained.

"Shhh... get inside," Jordan said closing the bathroom door behind him.

What the hell? Fay crossed her arms and glared at Jordan. "What do you think you're doing?" she demanded tapping her foot annoyed.

Jordan leaned against the door scratching the back of his head. "Woman! I am trying to get two minutes with you," he exclaimed tiredly, "if it's not Aya glued on you its either Jin or Mika," he pushed himself off the door and walked up to Fay. "I need some alone time with you." He whispered planting a kiss on her neck. "Every time I get you alone, someone keeps barging in on us."

Fay smiled at his boyish attitude, "you are incorrigible," she said and snaked her arms around his neck as he had his around her waist; "but the bathroom doesn't turn me on that much." She kissed him lightly on the lips. "and honestly your timing cannot be any worse. I have to get ready."

"Well, it's the only place you were alone." He kissed her back, "where you going?"

"Jin is taking me to see Kazumi Mishima."

Jordan continued kissing her. "I knew you'd two time me with him."

"Jordan, you can be such an idiot at times," she said and pushed him away playfully. This man is seriously getting under my skin, she thought looking at him with a silly smile spread across her face; I feel like a high school girl.

Jordan moved closer to Fay moving his hands around her waist again and pulled her, "I like," he kissed her neck, "to be", he moved his lips below her ear; "an," he nibbled her earlobe, "idiot", he moved to kiss her cheek; "around," he traced her lips with his tongue, "you!" he bit her lip and proceeded to kiss her.

Fay almost lost the ground beneath her feet the moment he kissed her. She held his shoulders firmly to regain her balance. As he pushed her to the wall behind her, she jumped and placed her legs on his hips, kissing him as passionately as he was.

"I want you so bad," he whispered between kisses, "can you feel how much I want you?" he asked her pushing his hips forward.

"I want you too," she sighed feeling him; "but not here," she kissed his lips, "and seriously not now!" Fay looked him in the eyes. She removed her legs from around his hips still holding onto his neck. "I can't be late."

Jordan groaned, what the hell is this woman doing to me; he thought releasing her and moving a few steps backwards to regulate his breathing. "You are killing me here,"

Fay covered her mouth to hide her smile. "I am sorry Jordan, but I am already so skittish about meeting her." She admitted sheepishly.

"I'll help you to relax," Jordan grinned, running a hand through his hair. He looked at Fay expectantly, but he saw nothing in her eyes to please his eagerness, "not even a quicky?"

She shook her head.

"Fine. Fine." He sighed, feeling a little disappointed.

Later

"You look bored."

Jordan raised his head from the sofa. "I am bored." He told Hwoarang. "I hate having to wait." He was sleeping on the sofa, with his knees bent.

"Well, Mika is having the time of his life." He remarked, sitting down. Mika has not left the room except to eat.

Jordan picked up a cigarette and lit it. "Good for him." he made small motion puff as he exhaled.

"Want to do some work?"

Jordan glanced at him, "are we allowed to leave?"

Hwoarang smirked, raising an arm to stretch. "And did you ever care?"

Jordan smiled smugly, as he put the cigarette off. He straightened himself up. "What do you have in mind?"

"Lee seems to be helping out with busting Miguel, but I am sure that he has other plans. I've been checking around and a couple of months ago a new company was registered under his name." Hwoarang explained. "Violet Systems."

"Interesting…" Jordan speculated, "What's the nature of the company?"

"I honestly don't know. In the registrar it says Mechanics."

Jordan took the document from him. "Do you believe that?"

Hwoarang shook his head. "Of course not. Anything Lee is involved in cannot be straightforward."

Jordan putt off his cigarette. "Then what do you want to do?"

Hwoarang pulled out another piece of paper. "I managed to get another address listing. Do you want to check it out?"

Jordan stood up. "By all means let's do this."

Hwoarang nodded.

They put on their jackets, and walked out of the apartment without informing anyone. "I'll drive." Jordan said, getting into the elevator. He flashed a card on the elevator card screener, inserted some digits then pressed B2, and it zoomed all the way down to the basement.

"Tight security?" Hwoarang joked.

Jordan grinned, slipping the card back into his pocket. "This is my father's building. B2 is only accessed by me."

Hwoarang folded his arms, "and what's in B2?"

The elevator door opened, making Hwoarang whistle. "Hot damn…" Hwoarang marvelled at the sight in front of him. It was an exceptional garage with thirteen cars parked. The garage had a wooden structure with black and red ceiling. Each car was exclusively parked in an A/C filled room. "I'm impressed."

"You should be," Jordan said not so modestly. "I worked hard and waited patiently for all of these babies. So, which one shall we use today?"

"You're letting me choose?"

"Yup."

Hwoarang walked amongst the cars, eyeing each almost enviously. One would think I'd want these, but I am more of a bike person. His fingers moved across the car's bodies, one by one until he stopped next to a black one. "I heard that this one can kick ass."

"Oh, she does." Jordan took out a key from a box that was hanging on the wall. He had to press some codes to have it opened. "Shall we take her for a spin?"

"Yes!" Hwoarang eyed the BMW sports car. It was an 840 model, two door, four seat coupe. He opened the door and got in. The leather seats were beautifully timed and it smelt expensive. "Tell me about her."

Jordan turned on the car, "it's a standard 3.0L, 6 cylinder and an engine that can achieve 20-mpg. It's not one of my fastest but she is the prettiest." He made Hwoarang laugh. "Give me the address." Jordan pressed an icon on the screen.

Hwoarang gave him a paper.

"No, tell her."

"Good morning, Mr. DeMarco. Where are we going today?" asked a sultry female voice.

Jordan glanced at Hwoarang. "Say it."

I feel like I'm in a sci-fi movie. Hwoarang thought in amazement. He took the paper out of his jacket front pocket, reading the coordination.

"You are not Mr. DeMarco, I only take my orders from him."

Hwoarang rolled his eyes, making Jordan chuckle. Jordan started steering, then spoke the numbers out loud.

"Thank you, handsome. You will reach your destination in twenty-five minutes; I will prepare the route for you." She lowered her voice.

"Handsome?"

"I chose mine to be a flirt." Jordan put on his sunglasses as he drove out of the garage of the building.

"I'm seriously impressed."

Mika glanced at Aya, then resume playing. "Of?"

Aya sat on a white floor cushion. "You dazzle me that you haven't stopped playing in two days. Don't you get tired?"

"Nope."

Aya crossed her legs. "What drives you to do this?" I am not into gaming so I don't understand all this hype about videogames.

"It's difficult to explain. Once you start, you just can't stop." Mika answered with one cigarette in his mouth.

"Like sex?"

Mika laughed at her answer with his eyes still on the TV. "Nope. Nope. Shagging is on another level of addiction. Video games bring in another sort of rush." He stood up, handing her the joystick. "Why don't you try?"

Aya clasped the handle. "I wouldn't know how to use this if my life depended on it."

He sat next to her, explaining what each button did. Then he put on a new game, and gave her a tutorial. "You try to play this on your own. Its roleplay so its self-explanatory."

"Ok." She said, focusing on the screen.

Mika watched as she played, chuckling. She really is clueless. He liked Aya, she was cool. Hmm… More my type than Fay, but she's Red's so off limits. He left, heading towards the kitchen. "I'm hungry…" what is there to eat, looking through the fridge. He didn't find anything satisfactory, so he looked in the cupboards, finding two-minute cup noodles. "This will do for now," taking one out.

He boiled some water then followed the instructions. Once it was ready, he picked out a fork from one of the drawers, sitting on the stool. He ate his noodles peacefully, while browsing on his phone when Aya approached him. "I'm stuck!"

"You're a first timer. It takes time to get to understand the game," he slurped his noodles.

"I hate what you're eating. It's disgusting. I'm sure that Fay bought this." She gave him a disgruntled look.

"This is all that I could find."

Aya pursed her lips. "Didn't Fay and Jin buy groceries last night?"

Mika shrugged, "Yeah, but I have to cook something and I'm no cook." He smiled at her, finishing the noodles. He got off the stool, threw the box in the garbage and washed his fork. "I'm still hungry."

Aya pulled out her phone, "I'm ordering pizza. What do you want?"

Mika's eyes brightened up. "Two king size Pepperoni, please."

Wow. Aya tittered. He is a big eater. Where does it all go? I'll just order a small Pepperoni for myself because I know he won't share.

Jin and Fay entered the establishment together. Fay was in a Kimono cut from a single piece of silk crepe which was a black and white print. It was secured by a white sash belt. She didn't have any flat sandals so she chose to wear high black heels. Her hair was framed to one side and she had a channel clip on to secure it. I don' know how Mika does it, but this Kimono is beautiful.

Jin was in a plain Black man's Kimono. It was short sleeved, and he had a white sash too. He had joked that they were matching. The receptionist greeted them, while motioning for them to enter. However, as Jin stepped forward, the receptionist stopped him. "Not you, sir. Just the Madame."

Jin's eyes widened in surprise.

The receptionist spoke before Jin would argue. "She will have a private viewing with her first, then she will ask you to join them."

Jin knew better than to squabble, so he signalled for Fay to go ahead.

Fay bit her lips in reluctance, but proceeded anyway. She gave him a victory sign and went to where she was directed to go to. Her heart was palpitating as she reached the room where Kazumi was in.

"Please take off your shoes, Madame." The lady at the door instructed.

Fay did so, then took a breath and stepped in. The room was a beautiful white room with wooden Gray ash floors with a cosy rustic feeling. The walls had white wallpapers with cherry blossoms shadows highlighted giving it an illuminating vibe. She saw a beautiful woman sitting on her knees. She had her eyes closed. "Come near, my dear and sit across me." The woman ordered.

Fay listened and sat down, kneeling across her.

"Close your eyes." She dictated with a soft voice.

She did.

"Breathe in and breathe out."

Fay followed her instructions. She was inhaling and exhaling until she felt at tranquil. She stayed like that for a while until Kazumi conversed again. "I would have thought I'd feel despair from you, but you are more stable it seems."

Fay still had her eyes shut. "I'm fine."

"Fine can mean anything. People use fine if they are sad, or happy. Your flow of energy is better than Jin's. You seem to be calmer. Have you found your inner peace?" She questioned the young woman sitting in front of her.

"What is inner peace?"

Kazumi gave her a side smile, but Fay had her eyes shut. "Inner peace can define whatever that allows a person to be contempt. It can be the joy you find in your work. Happiness by spending time with your friends. Or something as simple as finding your soul mate." She described. "Are you in love?"

"No." Fay answered rapidly, then held back for a second, "It's not love."

"But it is something to you. Whether it is love or not, it is keeping you serene." Kazumi declared as she rose to her feet. "You can open your eyes."

Fay compelled, and stood up with her hands folded. "Why did you ask to see me?"

Kazumi faced her, "I miss my grandchildren. Now, that everything is out in the open I wanted to see them."

"It's far from over." Fay retorted a bit upset. "There are still dangerous men out there."

"Lee will not hurt you." She said solemnly, fanning her face.

But he's already made me suffer so much, she thought silently.

Kazumi circled her, processing her energy. "I told Jin that happiness and sadness can only lie within your thoughts. If you keep wanting to think of how much he has pained you, then that will continue to plague you."

I don't want her to think of me as a weakling. "I'm over it."

"Because of your new profound love?" Kazuma nestled right in front of her.

For the first time since she walked into the room, Fay looked at her directly. "I told you that I am not in love."

"Hmm… Maybe not love? But you are attached to someone." Kazumi headed to the other side of the room, and rang a bell. "Jin will be here any minute, do you have any questions for me?"

"No," Fay uttered trying to comprehend what was said.

Kazumi eyed her seriously, "You're tough my dear. I would have thought you were broken, but I admire your resolve."

Fay hesitated, "Thank you." She stood up as the door opened, expecting Jin but she found Kazuya walk in. He seemed as astounded to see her. Kazuya greeted them, "You called me?" he eyed his mother carefully.

Kazumi headed to the door, "I will see Jin in another room. You two have unresolved business."

That woman really takes charge, Fay walked carefully towards the centre of the room. "Tough woman."

Kazuya kneeled down, "Sit." He commanded. "She is not only tough, but she's endured a lot of shit too. Her husband wasn't the easiest of men. She raised us on her own.'

"And by us you mean…" she kneeled down opposite him.

Kazuya raised his head, staring at her straight in the eyes. "I will say this one time…" his voice clear while bowing his head. "I am sorry."

Fay was taken aback, she was speechless.

Kazuya reached out for her hand. "When you deal with dangerous criminals, you tend to forget the time spent with your children. We had to be absolutely ruthless and go full time undercover to prevent chaos."

"Yet, you allowed him to frolic with me." She voiced quietly. "Did I not matter as much?"

Kazuya's had a pained look. "You and Jin are important. Everything that happened was to protect you both."

Fay thought about what he said. She exhaled deeply, "That is total bullshit!" She shocked him. "Rather than thinking of our emotional health, you were more concerned about our physical well-being. We lost lovers and friends. It took Jin a long time to get over Julia. After that, he was starting to get a bit better. What happened? Dionne was killed. I am still traumatised that I could have had Lee's baby! I hate myself for thinking this way, but when I think about it. I am so glad that I lost it."

Kazuya was completely quiet.

"I know you have nothing to say." She fidgeted a bit, and crossed her legs. I hate this kneeling position. "I forgive you. As much as I want to despise you, but I am looking at it positively. I have gained a family which I never thought I had."

Kazuya gave her a side smile. "Am I to assume that we are going to be on good terms for now?"

"Once this is over, you and I will talk again." she got up from the floor. "I'm hungry. How about you take me and Jin out to lunch?"

"Sure, but not in this getup." He walked to another room. "I hate kimonos."
