~The Storming Flower of Love~ Chapter 4 -Going on a Cruise- (A Ling Xiaoyu Story mostly)
~3 years later~
Lei Wulong heard the doorbell ring He sighed,and went over to a opened door.He opened it,and was surprised we he saw a beutiful looking woman standing there. She had a beutiful oval face, her deep green eyes framed by her beautiful black, shoulder length hair, and wore a long sleeved white shirt with a black vest covering it and short black pants, showing off her slender legs. "Lena? said Lei disbelieving,looking her over. Lena flashed a beautiful smile at Lei,and said playfully,"You know .....its not to polite to stare." Lei turned a little red and stammered "You cut your hair....you've changed a little." Lena asked, "Is Xiaoyu here?" "Hmmm......? said Lei in a trance. "Is Xiaoyu here?!," yelled Lena a little louder. Lei snapped out of his trance and clapped his hands over his ears,"Geez.....you didn't have to yell you know? Yeah, Xiaoyu's here. Xiaoyu!!"
Xiaoyu upstairs, was packing her things, when she heard her uncle yell for her, and quickly stopped what she was doing, and ran downstairs. She saw her uncle, Lei standing in front of the door. "What is it Uncle?," asked Xiaoyu curiously. Lei stepped aside to revel Lena. "Lena!!," yelled Xiaoyu as she ran to her old friend, and use to be babysitter.
Lena could barely hold her ground, as she was nearly knocked over by Xiaoyu. "Hey, Ling," said Lena laughing, "You've grown!!" Xiaoyu stepped back to look at Lena, and demanded, "Where have you been?!! I haven't seen you forever. A year and a half to be exact!! Look at you, you've cut your hair!!"
Lena laughed again, and said apologentically, "I'm sorry..... I've been busy, training at the acadamy to become a police woman and all. But, hey I'll make it up to you. Plus, guess what?!! You'll be seeing me way more often. I've moved here to Hong Kong, to join the police force here. I was assigned here, now I can visit you anytime!! Xiaoyu's eyes lit up. "Really! That's great!!"
Lei Wulong spoke up, "Hey you two. I have to go now, but will you still be here tonight, Lena? Lena nodded, "I was hoping if I could stay the night?" "Sure!," said Lei. Lena said, "I don't have to check in untill tommorow. I believe I'm in the same police as you. Can you show me around tommorow?" "Of course," said Lei, "Good-bye ladies." "We're not ladies," chorused Lena and Xiaoyu together, "Good-bye!" Lei looked at them supicously. "You better not get into trouble while I'm gone. Xiaoyu looked at Lei with a innocent face, "What, us? We'll be good Uncle Lei," she looked at Lei with those adorble big innocent brown eyes. "You better not, Little Phoneix," said Lei fondly. He went out the door and closed it gently.
Lena turned to Xiaoyu, her eyes glinting mischieving, "So what should we do? Should we raid the kitchen? Or hide the T.V. remote again?" Xiaoyu laughed, "Very funny Lena. You're to old too do that stuff anymore." Lena did a pretended gasp, "Me?!! Too old?!! Never!!" She then laughed, "Yeah, you're right, I am too old to do that stuff anymore. Let me get my bags, and then we'll have a girl talk all to ourselves." "Okay," said Xiaoyu. Lena went out to her car and got her bags out. She went back into the house. "Okay, Litte Phoenix, lead the way!" Xiaoyu laughed, and walked upstairs , Lena following after, observing the house. "Much cleaner than before," Lena commented, "I see you finally whipped Lei into shape about cleaning the house." Xiaoyu smiled, "Yeah it took me forever to break him out of his bad habits."
Xiaoyu and Lena entered a brightly light room, with a cute pink bed, dolls, and stuffed animals placed everywhere, and posters of mystical animals on the walls. There were plenty of windows, shining light into the room. Xiaoyu went over, and plopped down on her bed, and smiled, "What have you been up to, Lena?" Lena sat down by Xiaoyu, "Oh, nothing much really..... I've been training hard at the acadamy.... I'm sorry that I've missed your birthday last year." Xiaoyu said reasurring, "It's okay Lena, you didn't miss much. I just went to the zoo with Panda, and Uncle Lei, and we had a blast. But really Lena, don't work yourself to death. Don't be like Uncle Lei and miss nights of sleep when working hard on a case." Lena smiled gently at Xiaoyu, "I won't," said Lena, "Hey!!! I got a late gift for you though!" Lena goot off the bed and rummaged through her bags, and came up with a parcel in her hands. "Here for your late birthdays," said Lena, handing Xiaoyu the parcel.
Xiaoyu, curious, opened the parcel. She gasped, and took out the item within to admire it. It was a beautiful phoniex carved out of pure crystal. "Wow," breathed Xiaoyu, "It's beautiful Lena!" Lena smiled, "I knew it was meant for you when I saw it. Cause after all, you are my little phoenix." Lena hugged Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu smiled, "Thank you so much Lena." Xiaoyu put the crystal phoniex on her dresser.
Lena spotted the packed bags by Xiaoyu's bed. "Are you going somewhere," asked Lena. Xiaoyu glanced at the bags, "Oh, yeah, I'm going to start a new term at the Mishima Polytechical School. It should be fun to be at a new high school, and being a 10th grader." "Why are you packing your bags then?," asked Lean, confused. 'Well, since it's about a hour drive from here, I'm going to staying at the dorms," replied Xiaoyu, "Don't worry, you can still visit me." "I wouldn't want to keep you from your schoowork," retored Lena, "But you're leaving your uncle all alone." "Yeah," said Xiaoyu, "Poor Uncle Lei will be all alone without me to keep him company, and to keep him in line." Lena laughed, "Somehow I always thought that you were the one taking care of Lei these past three years, not the other way around." Xiaoyu laughed, "Yeah, I know. Now Lei won't have someone to make him go to bed early. You'll take care of him for me, won't you, Lena?" "Me?," said Lean, "I don't know..... We might not see each other much with our working hours. Oh well, I'm sure Lei will do fine without you Ling." "Yeah.....," said Xiaoyu. "Come on," said Lena, "Let's go cook something to eat."
~Later that night~
Lei Wulong entered the house, looked at his watch and sighed. It was 12:00. "Late again," he murmered. He looked in the living room, and den, but no one was there. (Xiaoyu, and Lena must be asleep,) thought Lei walking upstairs. He peeked into Xiaoyu's room. Sure enough there was Xiaoyu sleeping in her bed, and a figure was on the spare cot in her room. Lei smiled, and closed the door gently. His stomach growled. Lei walked back downstairs into the kitchen. There on the table sat cold dumpings, and egg rolls. Lei smiled, as he put the dumpings, and egg rolls to heat up in the mirco oven. When they were done, Lei took them out, and went into the living, and sat in his favorite chair. (Now where is that remote?) he thought looking all over the place.
~The next morning~
Lena woke up on the cot, her black bangs falling over her long eyelashes, and she swept them away from her face. She smiled at the angelic figure of Xiaoyu, sleeping peacefully on the bed besides her. Lena yawned. She was still sleepy from staying up till midnight, chatting with Xiaoyu. Lena looked around the room, filled with stuffed animals, mostly panda dolls, and the posters of enchanted beasts, such a unicorns, dragons and such. Her eyes came to rest on one particular picture of a beautiful phoenix in mid-air. It was a beautifully painted picture. Whoever had done it must have been a remarkable artist.
Lena got of the cot, being careful not to wake Xiaoyu. She slipped into cute litte blue bunny slippers whose eyes stared up at her, that Xiaoyu had generously loaned her. The slippers helped to muffle most of the noise she was making. Lena got up, and walked about halfway across the room when she caught her reflection in the mirror. She grimaced when she looked into the mirror. Her reflection stared back at her, the woman in the mirror wearing cute white pajamas with blue bunnies, and those blue bunny slippers that stared back at her. Her hair was tied up into two pigtails, which were like Xiaoyu's who had insisted on putting Lena's hair up. Lena sighed, (Oh well.....) she thought, even though she did not like the fact that she looked cute and ridiculous. Lena went out of Xiaoyu's room, and shuffled downstairs yawning, heading for the kitchen. Lei was down there already in the kitchen, having a cup of coffee, and was reading the newspaper. "Good morning," said Lena sleepily. Lei looked up, and choked on his hot coffee, burning his mouth. He leaped up, holding his hands to his mouth, jumping around.
"Lei?! Are you all right?!!," Lena woke up entirely, and ran to the freezer, and opened the door, getting some ice out. She quickly went over to plop the ice in Lei's mouth. Lei sat down, relieved, "Manks," he mumbled through the ice. Lena laughed. "Do you always burn your mouth like that in the morning?" Lena sat down next to Lei. Lei took the ice cube out of his mouth. "No," said Lei scratching his head, "You just surprised me, that's all." Lei laughed suddenly, "You look ridiculous in that outfit, and the pigtails." He doubled over in laughter. He laughed even harder when he saw the bunny slippers that Lena was wearing. Lena scowled, and hit Lei on the head really hard. "Ouch!," yelled Lei painfully, "What you do that for?" He rubbed his head, painfully. "There," said Lena satifised, "That'll teach you to laugh at me. I wasn't the one who burned his mouth. Besides, Xiaoyu made me wear this! And she did the pigtails!"
Lei nodded, his head pounding, "Yeah Xiaoyu can really talk people into doing stuff," he said. Lena took out the hair ties that held her hair up, and her black hair tumbled down to her shoulders. Lei stared at her, as he thought, (Gosh, she sure looks beautiful,) and blushed. Luckily Lena didn't see this, cause at that moment, Xiaoyu came bouncing in.
"Good morning Uncle Lei!! Morning Lena!!" Lena smiled at Xiaoyu. "Good morning Little Phoniex!," said Lena fondly. Lei smiled at Xiaoyu, then turned to Lena. "Hey Lena?," asked Lei suddenly. Lena turned to look at him with her beautiful green eyes, "Yes Lei?," she asked. "Umm....," said Lei, "shouldn't we be going now?" Lena gasped, "Oh right!" I'll go change right now!!" She ran upstairs. Lei looked after her for a moment, then turned to Xiaoyu, "Hey Little Phoenix? Have you seen my t.v. remote? I couldn't find it last night." Xiaoyu looked up at Lei with innocent eyes, "No Uncle Lei...I haven't seen it at all....." glancing at Lei's shirt pocket.
~10 mintues later~
Lei looked at his watch as he leaned on the car, waiting for Lena. Finally the door opened, and there stood Lena wearing long black jeans with a white tank top, and a black jacket, and hand gloves, and her hair pulled back into a ponytail, and she carried bags over her shoulder. She walked over to Lei, "Okay, I'm ready, let's go." Lei nodded, and they both got into the car, and drove away.
~At the Hong Kong Police Station, District 1~
Lei walked inside the police station, Lena following after him. "Wow," said Lena, looking around at the police station, "This place is big." People were all over; cops, office workers, and crimals that were being brought into the station, were all over the place. "Yeah," said Lei, "We have the largest district jurisidiction here in Hong Kong." Lei spotted a fellow female cop. "Hey Tina!," yelled Lei. A girl with back hsir tied up into two buns, and beautiful brown eyes turned to look at Lei. Her eyes brightened when she spotted Lei. She came over, and said happily, "Hi Lei." "Lena, this is Tina Wong, one of the female cops in the building, and Tina, this is Lena Chheng from Shang Hi. Lena is new around here. Can you show her around Tina?," asked Lei. Tina looked at Lena up and down, and nodded approvily. "Sure," said Tina, "Lena looks like a tough female. Really Lena?" "Sure," said Lena, a bit hesitant, and looked up at Lei, "But Lei..... I thought you were going to show me around," said Lena a bit dissapointed. Lei said, "I would like to Lena, but I got alot of work to do.... besides, its better if you have Tina to show you around; she knows pratically everything. Have fun, okay? Bye now." Lei walked away.
"Don't bother with him," said Tina sighing, "lei is the hardest worker in this place. He barely has any time to talk to other cops, much less me. Come now, let me show you around." Lena looked at the retreating figure of Lei, and sighed, and followed Tina.
Lei walked over to his desk. A man was there, waiting for him. "The corpal wants you in his office right away," the man informed Lei. "Okay," said Lei, a bit surprised. (What does that guy want?), thought Lei curiously. The last time Lei saw the corpal, it was since Lei's last incident, when he had accidently had interfee with a undercover case. The corpel had sighed, and told Lei, that he should take it easy, and take the easier cases. Lei had avoided him since then. Plus the corpal only saw people when he wanted a undercover case to be done. Lei walked over to the corpal's office, and opened the door curiously. The corpal, a tall, wry man with a black mustace sat there, reading a folder. "Ahh, Lei," said the corpal putting down the folder. "Come, sit down." Lei walked in, and sat down warily. "Lei," said the corpal, "I think its time for you to go work uncover again. You haven't done it for almost 8 years. Don't you agree?" Lei, startled by this unexpected questin, just said eagerly, "Yes sir!" "But there's a catch," said the corpal, "you'll have to work with a partner again." Lei turned pale, "Sir, I don't think I should. The last time I had a real partner was about 15 years ago. I haven't worked with a good partner like that since, so I decided I didn't need one. I don't need one sir." "Lei," said the corpal, "You work too hard. You have no choice in the matter. You are getting a partner, and that's final." Lei sighed and said reluctenly, "Yes sir....." The corpal smiled for a moment, but it quickly vanished,. "You going to get a partner fresh out of training.." said the corpal when Lei interuppted. "Sir!," said Lei, "I don't need a inexpreinced cop. Undercover cases are extremely dangerous!" The corpal glared at Lei, and Lei seeing his glare stopped talking. "This one's different," said the corpal, "This cop has the best training, and is top ranked in the class. The cop's test scores are high, shooting abilites are marvelous, and self defense is extrodinary. This cop has potenial, and should be with one of the best cops in this police station. You're a good cop, and besides, you're the only cop in this station who doesn't have a partner, so I had to pick you. Lei sighed, "All right, all right, I'll accept it okay? So who's this cop anyways?," he asked curiously. "She's a recruit from Shang Hai, and has just moved here. HEr abilites match those of Jun Kazama, your previous partner. That's why we choose her." Lei mind was racing. (She? Could it be? Nah, just a concidence, it can't be....) "Her name is Lena Chheng," said the corpal. Lei nearly fell over in his chair. "Are you okay?," asked the corpal, amused by Lei's reaction. "Here's your partner's profile," the corpal slid the folder toward Lei, who stopped it. "Her rocords are pretty impressive," said the corpal. Lei, still in shock, opened the folder. In the folder was a picture of Lena, in a police uniform, looking as pretty as ever, but her eyes were serious. Lei eyes scanned the pofile.

_ _
Lei closed the folder. The corpal grinned at Lei, "So Lei what do you think? You've got the best of the best." Lei just nodded, still in shock a little.
Tina grinned at Lena, "Well that's about all I can show you. Do you need anything else?" "Umm.....yeah," said Lena, glancing a t a piece of paper. "I need to report into the corpal's office. Do you know where it is?" Tina stared at Lena, "Don't you mean the cheif of police's office." "No," said Lena, "the corpal's office." "You're going to be a undercover cop?!," said Tina, surprised. Lena nodded slowly, "Yeah..... what about it?" Tina whistled, "How much experience do you have as a cop?" "None, actually. I just got out of training," replied Lena.
Tina stared at her, "You've got to be kidding me!! They let a experienced cop go undercover in Hong Kong?! Where in you go training at?" "At the Obabodia Advanced Police, and Defense Training School," said Lena. Tina stared at Lena, "But only top ranked students go there." Lena smiled, "I was the top ranked student in my class." Tina whistled again, "Wow. I'm glad you're a girl. There aren't many girls in the undercover work force. Show the guys what girls are made of, okay?" Lena nodded, and followed Tina to a ffice door. "This is his office," said Tina and knocked on the door. "Good luck," said Tina, as Lena opened the door.
"Come in," said the corpal. Lei Wulong, turned around to see who had knocked. the door opened, and Lena walked in.
Lena was surprised when she saw Lei, but she went striaght up to the corpal's desk. "Reporting for duty sir!," Lena saluted. "So you're the new recruit?," said the corpal looking her over, "I understand that you're the best of your class, sent here. Honored to meet you Officer Chheng, but you'll have to earn your rank here in Hong Kong, understood?" "Yes sir!," said Lena. "I've assigned you a partner Officer Chheng, meet Inspector Lei Wulong, your partner from now on."
Lena, surprised, but keeping the emotion from her face, turned to Lei, and nodded, "I see," said Lena, inside her heart glad, "I look forward to being your partner, Inspector Lei." Lei nodded. The corpal smiled, "I think you two will do nicely for each other. Now for the matter at hand. You both have a assignment now. I want you two to investigate a crime boss. His name is Kalan Zinn. Tommorow night, he is hosting a party on his crusie boat, the Dragon. You'll both be there. Lei, you'll go by the alias of John Li, a bussiness man with high tastes. We suspect that Kalan is going to negoiate the purchase of armed weapons, to ship around the world to many terriost organizations. He is also a suspect in the counterfeiting bussiness. You're on the guest list. I want you to find out as much as possible what is going on. Officer Chheng, you're going as one of Kalan gang member's dates. He ordered a date package from the Heaven on Earth parlor. You're to accompany him to the party, and entertain him. I want you to slip away from him, and try to break in the safe in Kalan's personal room. You know what to do with that job right?" Lena nodded. "Lei, you are expected to bring a guest with you. I trust you to make a good choice on that decison. Here are your mission tasks in the folders, and your personal i.d.s and equipment needed. Good luck." Lena and Lei took the folders, and Lena saluted to the corpal before walking out of the office.
Lena turned to Lei. "Wow, I can't beleive you're my partner!," she exclaimed. "Yeah," said Lei softly looking at Lena. "So, how come you don't have a partner already?," Lena asked suddenly. "Well, I haven't had a really good partner for almost 15 years. My partners just couldn't handle the work, and pressures of the job, and some easily could have gotten hurt in my line of work. My last real good partner was Jun Kazama. She left the police force for some guy though, I think she had a kid too. I wonder what ever happened to her." Lena looked at Lei. "Jun Kazama," she asked curiously, and thinking (I think I have a relative by the name of that. The teachers kept on calling me another Jun too.) She told Lei, "My instructors kept on referring to me as another Jun. Why is that?" "Well," said Lei slowly, "Jun was a great cop, with great abilites. She had like a second instinct as you might say. She could sense danger coming from a mile away, and she was quick to act in dangerous situtions. She was a pettie-looking woman, but she was dangerous in combat." Lei thought back to the first time he had met Jun.
~Flashback~
Lei smiled when he saw a woman leaning on a railing by the beachside. She was wearing a white tanktop, with a white jacket over it, and shorts, and a bowtie was in her hair. He grinned, (So, this is the person I'm supposed to be working with? She looks so frail. I think I'll test her.) Lei launched a punch at Jun's unprotected back while letting out a cry. Jun spinned around and blocked the blow, and launching a punch back out also. Lei dogded the counterattack by doing a backflip nearly stumbling in the process. "Who are you?!," demanded Jun, her fists raised. Lei stood up, and rubbed his head, "sorry, it was rude of me not to introduce myself before um... attacking. I'm Lei Wulong with the Hong Kong police department. I'm your partner for the case. I got a ticket to the Tekken tournament too, so I'm your undercover partner." "I don't know how you've managed to get in with poor fighting like that," said Jun looking at Lei. "Oh," said Lei, laughing softy, "That... It's maybe because I just have a weak spot for women." He grinned at Jun. Her eyes flickered, and she turned back to look at the beach, "Just don't get in my way at the tournament."
~Back to Reality~
Lei turned to Lena, and observed her. She did look alot like Jun, if she wore white, and a bow tie in her hair, and she did look like she could have as much potential as Jun. Lena smiled up at Lei, asking, "She had a second instinct, like me? I'm pretty good in dangerous situtions, and I can sense danger sometimes. I'm pretty good in dangerous situtations too, that's why I was recommeded as a undercover cop. Oh well..... I'll meet you later Lei, okay? Oh, besides, who are you going to bring? Tina?" Lei thought for a moment, "No, not Tina, she's not experinced enough, plus she might be reconizged as a cop, cause of all the drug busts she's done. I really don't know who I'm gonna bring." "Oh," said Lena softly, "Well... see you later!" she said, and turned to walk out of the police station.
Lei watched as she left, and thought, (Who am I going to bring?). He sighed, there was no use thinking about it now. He felt his pockets to look for his keys, and pulled out a... remote? (Now how did that get there?,) wondered Lei.

Xiaoyu upstairs, was packing her things, when she heard her uncle yell for her, and quickly stopped what she was doing, and ran downstairs. She saw her uncle, Lei standing in front of the door. "What is it Uncle?," asked Xiaoyu curiously. Lei stepped aside to revel Lena. "Lena!!," yelled Xiaoyu as she ran to her old friend, and use to be babysitter.

"We're not ladies," chorused Lena and Xiaoyu together, "Good-bye!" Lei looked at them supicously. "You better not get into trouble while I'm gone. Xiaoyu looked at Lei with a innocent face, "What, us? We'll be good Uncle Lei," she looked at Lei with those adorble big innocent brown eyes. "You better not, Little Phoneix," said Lei fondly. He went out the door and closed it gently.
Lena turned to Xiaoyu, her eyes glinting mischieving, "So what should we do? Should we raid the kitchen? Or hide the T.V. remote again?" Xiaoyu laughed, "Very funny Lena. You're to old too do that stuff anymore." Lena did a pretended gasp, "Me?!! Too old?!! Never!!" She then laughed, "Yeah, you're right, I am too old to do that stuff anymore. Let me get my bags, and then we'll have a girl talk all to ourselves." "Okay," said Xiaoyu. Lena went out to her car and got her bags out. She went back into the house. "Okay, Litte Phoenix, lead the way!" Xiaoyu laughed, and walked upstairs , Lena following after, observing the house. "Much cleaner than before," Lena commented, "I see you finally whipped Lei into shape about cleaning the house." Xiaoyu smiled, "Yeah it took me forever to break him out of his bad habits."
Xiaoyu and Lena entered a brightly light room, with a cute pink bed, dolls, and stuffed animals placed everywhere, and posters of mystical animals on the walls. There were plenty of windows, shining light into the room. Xiaoyu went over, and plopped down on her bed, and smiled, "What have you been up to, Lena?"

Xiaoyu put the crystal phoniex on her dresser.
Lena spotted the packed bags by Xiaoyu's bed. "Are you going somewhere," asked Lena. Xiaoyu glanced at the bags, "Oh, yeah, I'm going to start a new term at the Mishima Polytechical School. It should be fun to be at a new high school, and being a 10th grader." "Why are you packing your bags then?," asked Lean, confused. 'Well, since it's about a hour drive from here, I'm going to staying at the dorms," replied Xiaoyu, "Don't worry, you can still visit me." "I wouldn't want to keep you from your schoowork," retored Lena, "But you're leaving your uncle all alone." "Yeah," said Xiaoyu, "Poor Uncle Lei will be all alone without me to keep him company, and to keep him in line." Lena laughed, "Somehow I always thought that you were the one taking care of Lei these past three years, not the other way around." Xiaoyu laughed, "Yeah, I know. Now Lei won't have someone to make him go to bed early. You'll take care of him for me, won't you, Lena?" "Me?," said Lean, "I don't know..... We might not see each other much with our working hours. Oh well, I'm sure Lei will do fine without you Ling." "Yeah.....," said Xiaoyu. "Come on," said Lena, "Let's go cook something to eat."
~Later that night~
Lei Wulong entered the house, looked at his watch and sighed. It was 12:00. "Late again," he murmered. He looked in the living room, and den, but no one was there. (Xiaoyu, and Lena must be asleep,) thought Lei walking upstairs. He peeked into Xiaoyu's room. Sure enough there was Xiaoyu sleeping in her bed, and a figure was on the spare cot in her room. Lei smiled, and closed the door gently. His stomach growled. Lei walked back downstairs into the kitchen. There on the table sat cold dumpings, and egg rolls. Lei smiled, as he put the dumpings, and egg rolls to heat up in the mirco oven. When they were done, Lei took them out, and went into the living, and sat in his favorite chair. (Now where is that remote?) he thought looking all over the place.
~The next morning~
Lena woke up on the cot, her black bangs falling over her long eyelashes, and she swept them away from her face. She smiled at the angelic figure of Xiaoyu, sleeping peacefully on the bed besides her. Lena yawned. She was still sleepy from staying up till midnight, chatting with Xiaoyu. Lena looked around the room, filled with stuffed animals, mostly panda dolls, and the posters of enchanted beasts, such a unicorns, dragons and such. Her eyes came to rest on one particular picture of a beautiful phoenix in mid-air. It was a beautifully painted picture. Whoever had done it must have been a remarkable artist.
Lena got of the cot, being careful not to wake Xiaoyu. She slipped into cute litte blue bunny slippers whose eyes stared up at her, that Xiaoyu had generously loaned her. The slippers helped to muffle most of the noise she was making. Lena got up, and walked about halfway across the room when she caught her reflection in the mirror. She grimaced when she looked into the mirror. Her reflection stared back at her, the woman in the mirror wearing cute white pajamas with blue bunnies, and those blue bunny slippers that stared back at her. Her hair was tied up into two pigtails, which were like Xiaoyu's who had insisted on putting Lena's hair up. Lena sighed, (Oh well.....) she thought, even though she did not like the fact that she looked cute and ridiculous. Lena went out of Xiaoyu's room, and shuffled downstairs yawning, heading for the kitchen. Lei was down there already in the kitchen, having a cup of coffee, and was reading the newspaper. "Good morning," said Lena sleepily. Lei looked up, and choked on his hot coffee, burning his mouth. He leaped up, holding his hands to his mouth, jumping around.
"Lei?! Are you all right?!!," Lena woke up entirely, and ran to the freezer, and opened the door, getting some ice out. She quickly went over to plop the ice in Lei's mouth. Lei sat down, relieved, "Manks," he mumbled through the ice. Lena laughed. "Do you always burn your mouth like that in the morning?" Lena sat down next to Lei. Lei took the ice cube out of his mouth. "No," said Lei scratching his head, "You just surprised me, that's all." Lei laughed suddenly, "You look ridiculous in that outfit, and the pigtails." He doubled over in laughter. He laughed even harder when he saw the bunny slippers that Lena was wearing. Lena scowled, and hit Lei on the head really hard. "Ouch!," yelled Lei painfully, "What you do that for?" He rubbed his head, painfully. "There," said Lena satifised, "That'll teach you to laugh at me. I wasn't the one who burned his mouth. Besides, Xiaoyu made me wear this! And she did the pigtails!"
Lei nodded, his head pounding, "Yeah Xiaoyu can really talk people into doing stuff," he said. Lena took out the hair ties that held her hair up, and her black hair tumbled down to her shoulders. Lei stared at her, as he thought, (Gosh, she sure looks beautiful,) and blushed. Luckily Lena didn't see this, cause at that moment, Xiaoyu came bouncing in.
"Good morning Uncle Lei!! Morning Lena!!" Lena smiled at Xiaoyu. "Good morning Little Phoniex!," said Lena fondly. Lei smiled at Xiaoyu, then turned to Lena. "Hey Lena?," asked Lei suddenly. Lena turned to look at him with her beautiful green eyes, "Yes Lei?," she asked. "Umm....," said Lei, "shouldn't we be going now?" Lena gasped, "Oh right!" I'll go change right now!!" She ran upstairs. Lei looked after her for a moment, then turned to Xiaoyu, "Hey Little Phoenix? Have you seen my t.v. remote? I couldn't find it last night." Xiaoyu looked up at Lei with innocent eyes, "No Uncle Lei...I haven't seen it at all....." glancing at Lei's shirt pocket.
~10 mintues later~
Lei looked at his watch as he leaned on the car, waiting for Lena. Finally the door opened, and there stood Lena wearing long black jeans with a white tank top, and a black jacket, and hand gloves, and her hair pulled back into a ponytail, and she carried bags over her shoulder. She walked over to Lei, "Okay, I'm ready, let's go." Lei nodded, and they both got into the car, and drove away.
~At the Hong Kong Police Station, District 1~
Lei walked inside the police station, Lena following after him. "Wow," said Lena, looking around at the police station, "This place is big." People were all over; cops, office workers, and crimals that were being brought into the station, were all over the place. "Yeah," said Lei, "We have the largest district jurisidiction here in Hong Kong." Lei spotted a fellow female cop. "Hey Tina!," yelled Lei. A girl with back hsir tied up into two buns, and beautiful brown eyes turned to look at Lei. Her eyes brightened when she spotted Lei. She came over, and said happily, "Hi Lei." "Lena, this is Tina Wong, one of the female cops in the building, and Tina, this is Lena Chheng from Shang Hi. Lena is new around here. Can you show her around Tina?," asked Lei. Tina looked at Lena up and down, and nodded approvily. "Sure," said Tina, "Lena looks like a tough female. Really Lena?" "Sure," said Lena, a bit hesitant, and looked up at Lei, "But Lei..... I thought you were going to show me around," said Lena a bit dissapointed. Lei said, "I would like to Lena, but I got alot of work to do.... besides, its better if you have Tina to show you around; she knows pratically everything. Have fun, okay? Bye now." Lei walked away.
"Don't bother with him," said Tina sighing, "lei is the hardest worker in this place. He barely has any time to talk to other cops, much less me. Come now, let me show you around." Lena looked at the retreating figure of Lei, and sighed, and followed Tina.
Lei walked over to his desk. A man was there, waiting for him. "The corpal wants you in his office right away," the man informed Lei. "Okay," said Lei, a bit surprised. (What does that guy want?), thought Lei curiously. The last time Lei saw the corpal, it was since Lei's last incident, when he had accidently had interfee with a undercover case. The corpel had sighed, and told Lei, that he should take it easy, and take the easier cases. Lei had avoided him since then. Plus the corpal only saw people when he wanted a undercover case to be done. Lei walked over to the corpal's office, and opened the door curiously. The corpal, a tall, wry man with a black mustace sat there, reading a folder. "Ahh, Lei," said the corpal putting down the folder. "Come, sit down." Lei walked in, and sat down warily. "Lei," said the corpal, "I think its time for you to go work uncover again. You haven't done it for almost 8 years. Don't you agree?" Lei, startled by this unexpected questin, just said eagerly, "Yes sir!" "But there's a catch," said the corpal, "you'll have to work with a partner again." Lei turned pale, "Sir, I don't think I should. The last time I had a real partner was about 15 years ago. I haven't worked with a good partner like that since, so I decided I didn't need one. I don't need one sir." "Lei," said the corpal, "You work too hard. You have no choice in the matter. You are getting a partner, and that's final." Lei sighed and said reluctenly, "Yes sir....." The corpal smiled for a moment, but it quickly vanished,. "You going to get a partner fresh out of training.." said the corpal when Lei interuppted. "Sir!," said Lei, "I don't need a inexpreinced cop. Undercover cases are extremely dangerous!" The corpal glared at Lei, and Lei seeing his glare stopped talking. "This one's different," said the corpal, "This cop has the best training, and is top ranked in the class. The cop's test scores are high, shooting abilites are marvelous, and self defense is extrodinary. This cop has potenial, and should be with one of the best cops in this police station. You're a good cop, and besides, you're the only cop in this station who doesn't have a partner, so I had to pick you. Lei sighed, "All right, all right, I'll accept it okay? So who's this cop anyways?," he asked curiously. "She's a recruit from Shang Hai, and has just moved here. HEr abilites match those of Jun Kazama, your previous partner. That's why we choose her." Lei mind was racing. (She? Could it be? Nah, just a concidence, it can't be....) "Her name is Lena Chheng," said the corpal. Lei nearly fell over in his chair. "Are you okay?," asked the corpal, amused by Lei's reaction. "Here's your partner's profile," the corpal slid the folder toward Lei, who stopped it. "Her rocords are pretty impressive," said the corpal. Lei, still in shock, opened the folder. In the folder was a picture of Lena, in a police uniform, looking as pretty as ever, but her eyes were serious. Lei eyes scanned the pofile.

Lei closed the folder. The corpal grinned at Lei, "So Lei what do you think? You've got the best of the best." Lei just nodded, still in shock a little.
Tina grinned at Lena, "Well that's about all I can show you. Do you need anything else?" "Umm.....yeah," said Lena, glancing a t a piece of paper. "I need to report into the corpal's office. Do you know where it is?" Tina stared at Lena, "Don't you mean the cheif of police's office." "No," said Lena, "the corpal's office." "You're going to be a undercover cop?!," said Tina, surprised. Lena nodded slowly, "Yeah..... what about it?" Tina whistled, "How much experience do you have as a cop?" "None, actually. I just got out of training," replied Lena.
Tina stared at her, "You've got to be kidding me!! They let a experienced cop go undercover in Hong Kong?! Where in you go training at?" "At the Obabodia Advanced Police, and Defense Training School," said Lena. Tina stared at Lena, "But only top ranked students go there." Lena smiled, "I was the top ranked student in my class." Tina whistled again, "Wow. I'm glad you're a girl. There aren't many girls in the undercover work force. Show the guys what girls are made of, okay?" Lena nodded, and followed Tina to a ffice door. "This is his office," said Tina and knocked on the door. "Good luck," said Tina, as Lena opened the door.
"Come in," said the corpal. Lei Wulong, turned around to see who had knocked. the door opened, and Lena walked in.
Lena was surprised when she saw Lei, but she went striaght up to the corpal's desk. "Reporting for duty sir!," Lena saluted. "So you're the new recruit?," said the corpal looking her over, "I understand that you're the best of your class, sent here. Honored to meet you Officer Chheng, but you'll have to earn your rank here in Hong Kong, understood?" "Yes sir!," said Lena. "I've assigned you a partner Officer Chheng, meet Inspector Lei Wulong, your partner from now on."
Lena, surprised, but keeping the emotion from her face, turned to Lei, and nodded, "I see," said Lena, inside her heart glad, "I look forward to being your partner, Inspector Lei." Lei nodded. The corpal smiled, "I think you two will do nicely for each other. Now for the matter at hand. You both have a assignment now. I want you two to investigate a crime boss. His name is Kalan Zinn. Tommorow night, he is hosting a party on his crusie boat, the Dragon. You'll both be there. Lei, you'll go by the alias of John Li, a bussiness man with high tastes. We suspect that Kalan is going to negoiate the purchase of armed weapons, to ship around the world to many terriost organizations. He is also a suspect in the counterfeiting bussiness. You're on the guest list. I want you to find out as much as possible what is going on. Officer Chheng, you're going as one of Kalan gang member's dates. He ordered a date package from the Heaven on Earth parlor. You're to accompany him to the party, and entertain him. I want you to slip away from him, and try to break in the safe in Kalan's personal room. You know what to do with that job right?" Lena nodded. "Lei, you are expected to bring a guest with you. I trust you to make a good choice on that decison. Here are your mission tasks in the folders, and your personal i.d.s and equipment needed. Good luck." Lena and Lei took the folders, and Lena saluted to the corpal before walking out of the office.
Lena turned to Lei. "Wow, I can't beleive you're my partner!," she exclaimed. "Yeah," said Lei softly looking at Lena. "So, how come you don't have a partner already?," Lena asked suddenly. "Well, I haven't had a really good partner for almost 15 years. My partners just couldn't handle the work, and pressures of the job, and some easily could have gotten hurt in my line of work. My last real good partner was Jun Kazama. She left the police force for some guy though, I think she had a kid too. I wonder what ever happened to her." Lena looked at Lei. "Jun Kazama," she asked curiously, and thinking (I think I have a relative by the name of that. The teachers kept on calling me another Jun too.) She told Lei, "My instructors kept on referring to me as another Jun. Why is that?" "Well," said Lei slowly, "Jun was a great cop, with great abilites. She had like a second instinct as you might say. She could sense danger coming from a mile away, and she was quick to act in dangerous situtions. She was a pettie-looking woman, but she was dangerous in combat." Lei thought back to the first time he had met Jun.
~Flashback~
Lei smiled when he saw a woman leaning on a railing by the beachside. She was wearing a white tanktop, with a white jacket over it, and shorts, and a bowtie was in her hair. He grinned, (So, this is the person I'm supposed to be working with? She looks so frail. I think I'll test her.) Lei launched a punch at Jun's unprotected back while letting out a cry. Jun spinned around and blocked the blow, and launching a punch back out also. Lei dogded the counterattack by doing a backflip nearly stumbling in the process. "Who are you?!," demanded Jun, her fists raised. Lei stood up, and rubbed his head, "sorry, it was rude of me not to introduce myself before um... attacking. I'm Lei Wulong with the Hong Kong police department. I'm your partner for the case. I got a ticket to the Tekken tournament too, so I'm your undercover partner." "I don't know how you've managed to get in with poor fighting like that," said Jun looking at Lei. "Oh," said Lei, laughing softy, "That... It's maybe because I just have a weak spot for women." He grinned at Jun. Her eyes flickered, and she turned back to look at the beach, "Just don't get in my way at the tournament."
~Back to Reality~
Lei turned to Lena, and observed her. She did look alot like Jun, if she wore white, and a bow tie in her hair, and she did look like she could have as much potential as Jun. Lena smiled up at Lei, asking, "She had a second instinct, like me? I'm pretty good in dangerous situtions, and I can sense danger sometimes. I'm pretty good in dangerous situtations too, that's why I was recommeded as a undercover cop. Oh well..... I'll meet you later Lei, okay? Oh, besides, who are you going to bring? Tina?" Lei thought for a moment, "No, not Tina, she's not experinced enough, plus she might be reconizged as a cop, cause of all the drug busts she's done. I really don't know who I'm gonna bring." "Oh," said Lena softly, "Well... see you later!" she said, and turned to walk out of the police station.
Lei watched as she left, and thought, (Who am I going to bring?). He sighed, there was no use thinking about it now. He felt his pockets to look for his keys, and pulled out a... remote? (Now how did that get there?,) wondered Lei.
