Authors Notes: Fairly short chapter here-I will write more soon!

So they ran towards the large crowd of people, pushing their way to the front as they did so: ignoring the rude remarks that were directed in their at them. When they had got as far to the front as they could possibly go (they couldn't get through the tight wedge of people at the front), they stopped and looked towards the podium.

"What do you think is going to be said though" Ling quietly asked Hwoarang and Julia.

Hwoarang just shrugged, he was obviously of the opinion that it would be a load of rubbish anyway, while Julia seemed to be in a world of her own.

Ling carried on muttering questions at both her friends until a rather fat women who was standing next to her, elbowed her in the stomach.

"What!" She snapped turning around to see how had, had the nerve to poke her so hard. She was greeted with probably the largest person she had ever seen, not only that but she was wearing a bright pink dress, had curly brownish/blonde hair and the most revolting red lipstick that Ling had possibly ever had the misfortune to see someone wearing, still not fazed however, Ling carried on glaring at the women and when she seemingly ignored her she asked again.

"Yeah? What did you hit me for?"

The women looked down at Ling, gave her a sort of pitying look and then pointed towards the podium. Ling saw immediately who was up there and why the hush had fallen across the crowd: Heihachi Mishima stood up there, tall and proud, he began to speak…

"Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope that you have so far enjoyed what is turning out to be one of the best championships I have had the pleasure to have held. Now I'm sure that you didn't all come here to listen to me talk, however interesting that would be. No, you see I have an ulterior motive, let me introduce you to my Grandson… Jin"

Heihachi turned around, and welcomed his Grandson onto the stage. Jin looked far from happy at being made the centre of attention, and just stood there not really saying anything.

 In the crowd Hwoarang was beaming triumphantly, "Ha, look he can't even speak. Probably wetting himself or something. Stupid loser" Hwoarang looked around at the two girls – they weren't listening, he looked back at where Jin was standing and shouted out, over the silence of the crowd, "Oi, Kazama! What's wrong huh? Cat got your tongue?"

 Most of the people in the crowd heard what he had shouted and turned around to see where the words were coming from. Jin had also heard what had been said and was surveying the crowd; when his dark eyes locked on the red of the hair he knew who it was straight away: standing there was Hwoarang with his arms crossed and a smug smile on his face. Jin narrowed his eyes but he didn't say anything back or do anything – people like that weren't even worth it in his mind.

 He turned away from where he had seen Hwoarang and began to speak to the crowd, still not wanting to be there but not prepared to let Hwoarang see him look like a fool; if he had looked for a moment further though he would of found another reason for making sure that he gave the best impression possible: Julia.

 So he continued seeming to go on and on for ages about what an honour it was to be taking part in such a famed tournament and how he would be doing his very best to bring the honour of winning back to his family. His family, when he eventually reached that point Heihachi stepped forward a smile plastered over his wrinkled features.

"Jin my boy I have a surprise for you" He said, his voice carrying over the speakers and into the crowd.

The look on Jin's face seemed to change, suggesting that he had a pretty fair idea what the surprise was and how much he wasn't going to like it. He bent forward and spoke to the elder man "Granddad, not here. I wish to have this announced later"

Heihachi smiled but appeared not to hear his only Grandson, and merely took his place at the microphone.

"Ladies and Gentleman, I would like to introduce you all to my future Granddaughter in law, Miss Takaraskai"

Julia couldn't believe her ears, it felt like her world was coming down around her and there was a thing she could do about it.

Hwoarang seemed shocked probably because he didn't think that Jin was going to live to a wedding day, and Ling. Well Ling's eyes had widened for she had just noticed the young Japanese women who had stepped up onto the stage, a smug smile on her face and her arm wrapped around Jin.

Julia felt sick: she couldn't believe it. That awful girl from before was marrying Jin? She felt her head spinning not only from the situation but also from the applauding of the crowd.

"Ling I gotta get out of here" She said grabbing her friend's arm.

Ling swirled around, obviously confused about her friends sudden desire to leave "huh? Julia what's wrong? This is the most interesting thing that has happened all today – are you feeling ok? You look really pale!"

Trying to force a smile onto her face she looked at Ling "Yeah I'm going to be fine I just feel a bit ill, I will see you later back at the hotel ok?

"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?"

"No I will be fine – honestly Ling"

"Ok well I will catch all the gossip for you! C ya later – I hope you feel better soon!"

Julia turned away and started pushing her way through the crowd, it was a task easy said than done. But she had to get out of there and she didn't really care how many feet she stepped on.

Back at the podium Jin looked down at the nauseating girl on his arm, he couldn't believe that this was happening. But he wanted to make his Granddad proud of him and apparently marrying this girl who was the daughter of one of Heihachi's business partners was the way to go about it. He felt like he was in way above his head. Every little thing the girl did annoyed him and he could find no way that he would spend his whole life with her. Let alone be responsible for bringing children with her genes into the world. No way, plus he had already found someone…

He looked up into the smiling faces of the crowd; he had never been so embarrassed in his whole life. Looking at all the people clapping, seeing how Hwoarang seemed to be laughing with hysterics at the situation and how the Chinese girl next to him seemed to be trying to calm him down, and then… and then to the retreating back of Julia Chang. Shit Julia was here, and she had seen exactly what had happened.
