___chapter 1___

It was the winter season and all the Tekkeners [that's what I call a group of people from The Tekken Tournament] Got sick of the cold. It was Freezing, one of the worse blizzards in years all around the globe.

Hwoarang sat on his stool in his apartment near his old broken table that just so happened to be propped up by a gardening hoe and held tight by some rope. It was broken when some of the guys came over for a party, Hwoarang got so drunk that night he didn't know how the it hell happened. He was wrapped in a cover shivering with some hot cocoa in his mug. It steamed and warmed him up a bit. A small portable TV was on the kitchen counter and the news was on. . . .

~Now for our weather report, . . .I'm sorry to say this but more snow is on the way, about 16 inches, it will start to flurry tonight. ~

Hwoarang looked at the clock, it said [ 7:01PM ] Hwoarang frowned, not to much longer until MORE snow falls. He got angry and pounded his fist on the table," Damn snow, Damn weather--AH-CHOO! Oohhh, y ose is so stopped up! ", his slouched in his cover and leaned over making a hood out of it so he could inhale the warm vapors from his cocoa, but by now it was cold, his heat was off because of power failure, this didn't help him a bit, the weather report continued--

~ It will get about 11 below as tonight's low without the wind chill--~

Hwoarang just got more angry, he was just about angry at everything anymore. His nose was stopped up, it was cold, he ached he couldn't do anything. He tried to find something else to occupy his mind so he wouldn't think about the cold and saw his mail on the table, he scowled at the letters," More bills.", he muttered as he quickly looked through them and the last one caught his eye. It was white with a palm tree on it and the addressee was Marshall and Forrest Law! What could they possibly want?
Hwoarang tore open the envelope and pulled out the letter, a ticket dropped out too. Curious Hwoarang read on , it was an invite to the Caribbean! Hwoarang nearly leaped up off of his stool but didn't because the cold air would of froze him. Hwoarang, shakily picked up the tickets almost in disbelief and smiled for once," Bout time I got out of this hell hole!", he immediately scurried across the apartment, with cover of course, to find his belongings and pack his suitcase.


Nina and Anna were in Scotland, it was bitter cold out, the snow nearly made the door immobile, the fire was getting low. Anna paced the house to keep warm and Nina sat in a chair curled up trying her best to keep warm.

" This is one of the worse year we've had sister. But not as bad as that one we had as kids, Remember how deep it got? Mum and dad had to burn the chairs so we could survive."

Nina glared at her sister for her stupidity," No, I don't remember, I have amnesia!", she sipped her hot tea with milk.

" We need to do something to keep our minds off this", Anna said as she took up their mail, she skimmed through the letters and ect. then paused," Look at this! Nina! LOOK! We got an invite to go to the Caribbean from Marshall and Forrest!"

Nina sneered pessimistically," Yeah right, there must be a catch!", she took the paper from Anna's hand and read it thoroughly. "I can't believe it!", Nina's eyes brightened, Anna was already packing her stuff. They we're going on vacation!


All the way back to Japan. . . .
Jin was running about the mansion in his pj's, he just got up and rubbed one eye so he could see where he was going and felt the kitchen table bump into his thigh. Jin seemed to very tired lately, ever since his Mom and Dad came back there never seemed to be a dull moment. His Grandpa and Dad always was arguing about something, infact they were arguing now about who should get the last pop tart!

" Nooo, I should get the last pop tart! I'm a growing boy Dad!", Kazuya protested, he pounded his fist on the table and pop tart box
rattled.

" Yea? Well I'm senior in this household and I need my vitamins too ya know!", Heiachi slammed his fist on the table in the same fashion as Kazuya, you could tell they were related. Jin finally had enough, months of this was making him a nervous
wreck, no sleep from the constant yapping, the tension
in the air--this was stupid! Why just stay there passive and not say anything? A vein popped out of Jin's forehead he was mad then he calmly composed himself.

" How about this--", Jin began.

" --Huh?", Heiachi and Kazuya said in unison with the
same dopey voice.

" I'll solve the problem.", Kazuya and Heiachi were stunned at what Jin said, Jin continued," I'll TAKE the pop tart and you both won't get any at all!", Jin took the box and threw the pop tart in the toaster," --and if you have anything to say about it--I DON'T CARE!!", Jin relaxed his shoulders and deeply sighed, it felt good to get that off his chest.

Heiachi and Kazuya just stood there bewildered, Jin outburst? Absurd! But they still didn't believe their ears. Jin took a look
at the mail that they got to see any was for him and sure enough there was, a white letter with a palm tree on it, the addressers, Forrest and Marshall Law! "What could they possibly want?", Jin thought, he ripped open the mail eagerly almost like a child at Christmas and found a letter inviting him to the Caribbean with them, it said the prepaid tickets were inside. . . .Jin got excited, a vacation away from his annoying Dad and Grandpa! He shook out the ticket but there were 4! Jin was puzzled and read some more, under the signatures it said:

P.S. By the way Jin! Take your family along! We really look forward to meeting them! Thanks!

As soon as this set in Jin's head he muttered," Damn. ",But why waste the opportunity?," Hey Dad, Grandpa. . . .we have a free trip to the Caribbean to visit Forrest and Marshall.", that was Jin's first mistake, all hell broke loose, Kazuya and old man Heiachi began frolicking around the mansion with delight! Jin continued," Mom's coming too." Heiachi immediately quit frolicking and frowned, However Kazuya was over come with joy. Maybe they could make a honeymoon out of it. They never even had a honeymoon, a sly grin came over his face. Jun descended the staircase in her red silk robe, she heard all the commotion," What's going on?", Jun stretched her arms and Kazuya ran up to her grabbing her by the waist.

" We're going to the Caribbean! Isn't that wonderful Honey?", Kazuya was having one of those 'you would never guess he could be that nice moments.' Kazuya spun Jun around and kissed her tenderly on the cheek. Heiachi cringed, Jin, well he didn't know what to do, this was awkward for him too, seeing his mom with a man he hardly knew. Infact everything has been awkward since they came back! Jin wasn't sure what to do with himself. So he went up to his room and started packing.


Southern Japan. . . . .Xiaoyu came downstairs skipping happy waving a letter in her hand and two tickets, Lei was down in the living room reading the paper and noticed Xiaoyu's exuberance, he put down the paper in his lap and look up to her wondering what could of caused this. Xiaoyu bent over with a cheerful smile and handed Lei the letter," Read it! You just can't pass this up!", Lei's eyes skimmed the paper with scrutiny," I dunno Xiao-"

Xiaoyu began to beg clinging on to Lei's pant leg," PLEASE! OH PLEASE UNCLE LEI! I WANNA GO SOOOOO BAD!!!"

Lei thought about the matter for a while and came to his conclusion," I guess it's alright. . . but don't forget your studies.",
Lei picked up his paper and began to finishing the article he was reading. Xiaoyu flew up with delight and started jumping up and down shouting," HELL YA!! WHO HOO!!!"

" Xiaoyu! Where in the hell did you learn that filthy ass language?!"

" Gee, I dunno.", Xiaoyu looked directly at Lei,
that's when he realized what he actually said, all the police work was getting him high stung. Lei needed that vacation. That was the end of the conversation and Xiaoyu jumped up the stairs to her room so she could pack.


Later. . . . . . . . . . Everyone met at the airport.
Marshall and Forrest were standing in main lobby with Eddy and Paul. They had came with them and was waiting for the others as well. Paul was already getting impatient and tapping his foot up and down feverishly, he was unknowingly cracking his knuckles out of the excitement, the people walking by were looking at him funny and keeping their distance expecting him to jump out at any moment and slaughter one of them. Forrest tapped Paul lightly on his shoulder and whispered to him," pssst, Paul, stop cracking your knuckles you're scaring everyone!"
" Huh? oh sorry.", Paul stopped cracking his knuckles
and started itching his beard instead. Paul will be Paul everyone. Eddy just stood quietly and was watching everything out of the corners of his eyes like he was suspicious of something, of course he wasn't, it was a habit his picked up in prison. Paul was scratching more intensely now and it was driving to fuck out of Eddy.

" Will you quit doing that! People will think you're
an ape or something mon!"

But this was soon interrupted, the first plane
arrived, and Anna walked out in her green satin body suit with slits up to the waist and two cute little yellow bows. . . . Nina wasn't seen.

" It seems Nina didn't want to come", Marshall deduced rubbing his chin but as soon as he said that Nina came out of the plane with a purple fuzzy halter top and black silk capris," I'm glad she came", Marshall
muttered as he elevator eyed her apparel. Forrest elbowed his father in the ribs, Marshall grunted, he looked up at the ceiling like nothing was going on. Of course we all knew what he was thinking but if you don't, I leave that up to your imagination!

Anna warmly greeted them all ," Hi guys! Group hug!", the men were undoubtedly obliged and they all hugged except for Nina, she wasn't into that stuff. It almost made her gag," Where's the others?", Anna asked as she glance around for any other familiar faces.

" They're not here yet", Eddy said coldly, he was still shifting his eyes and crossed his arms," hmph!". There was brief moment of silence but the was interrupted by Anna's almost disgusting cheer," So how you all doing?", she smiled, just then another plane arrived. The door opened and first person to pop out was Xiaoyu in Yellow skirt clogs and tucked in white ' I love the Carribbon mon!' shirt she hopped down the stairs and when she was about half way down Lei came out carrying her humongous book bag obviously stuffed with school books and study material.

Xiaoyu," WHOPPIE--", she tripped on her clogs andfell down the stairs, Lei saw this coming and lowered his head in embarrassment, he said to himself," I told her she wasn't old enough to wear those "

" Ow! That hurt!", Xiaoyu got up and ran to group," Hi Guys! GROUP
HUG!!", everyone just stood there and blinked they had that 'okaaaay. . . .' look on their faces. Lei finally got there lugging the bag around, he wasn't as young as he used to be and it was getting harder to do things.

" How my friends doing?--Alright? Alright!", he tried
to act like he was hip but to on avail he got the same treatment as Xiaoyu," Ok, I tried to be nice but NO ONE likes Mr. police officer! What gives? I came all this way and all you do is look at me funny!"

Paul," There's a buger on yore nose.", he points with
his finger. Lei immediately covered his face with his hands,"GET IT GET IT!"

Paul began to bellow and everyone else laughed," HAHAHAHAHAHA I gots ya good that time!"

Lei," Who haha, very funny.", Lei frowned, Paul put his arm around Lei as if they were good friends, they weren't.

" Oh just a lil' joke Lei Lei.", Paul bumped Lei's ribs," Nothing ta get upset 'bout " Forrest put his hand on his face in shame, this meeting was already going to hell. Then Another plane arrived, Everyone quieted and watched the door tentatively. several people came out and the groups hopes were fading. Then a tall ivory skinned, fiery haired Korean made his way to the stairs with his duffel bag and trademark goggles, but something was different. They couldn't quiet put their fingers on it but something has definitely changed. Hwoarang strode up to the bunch but didn't say anything.

" WHAT THE HELL IS THAT BASTARD DOING HERE!!??", Xiaoyu screamed with rage. She clinched her fists so hard
that they shook. Lei put his hands on her shoulders and tried to calm her down but it didn't work," YOU CAN JUMP OFF A 'F'ING CLIFF FOR ALL I CARE YOU ASS HOLE!!!"

Hwoarang finally looked up at everyone his eyes were
red and eyes puffy," Xiao. . . . .shut the hell up. . . . I'm not in the mood for this. . . .ohhh."
Anna asked concerned," Have you been crying?",Hwoarang's eyes narrowed but still puffy," NO!", he protested," I've
been sick, . . . . this damn cold can go to hell!. . . . .. . . .my congested head. . . ohhh. . . . . "

" Then why did you come?", questioned Marshall.

" To get out of the damned -- house, there was a blizzard where I lived and I lost the heat and --electricity from power failure, anything was better than staying there . . . . . . ", Hwoarang sat down in one of the lobby seats hunched over.

" THAT'S DOESN'T MEAN YOU DON'T DESERVE MY CONTEMPT!!!", Xiaoyu shouted and slapped Hwoarang across the face.

Hwoarang,". . . . . ."

Lei could only laugh and everyone stared at him oddly," What's so funny China Man? Talk!", Paul growled.

" Oh, it's just that when Xiaoyu and I decided to come over here she was worried about meeting Hwoarang! And now It's
completely the opposite!--I'm kinda proud of her though.", Bigger question marks rose above everyone's heads, Lei continued," She actually remembered what contempt meant!"

" Oh.", the bunch said simultaneously rolling their eyes.

Hwoarang sat down with his hands in his face, Anna looked at him," I don't feel good at all!", Hwoarang burst out; he was nearly shaking .

" I FEED ON YOUR SUFFERING!!", Xiaoyu said dementedly almost as if she were possessed.

" Xiao! That's enough! If you don't quit I will get a ticket and take us home right now!", Lei exclaimed, Xiaoyu stopped instantly.

Anna sat down in the chair beside Hwoarang and took off her white leather glove," Let me see.", she put her hand in his forehead
and lifted his chin, Hwoarang's face was flush red, quiet unusual for the
pale faced Korean," Dear me, you're burning up!"

" Someone PLUEASE kill me! "

Xiaoyu rolled up her sleeve but she saw Lei scowling at her so she rolled it back down and stood there trying not to make eye
contact shamefully.

Then next plane arrived, about 50 people came out
then annoying shrill voice flew threw the air almost rivaling Xiao's, [ALMOST rivaling Xiao's] Julia Chang and Michelle came out and descended the steps. Julia was in her stylish flared blue jeans and Native American hand beaded short sleeve shirt baring midriff. Michelle had her hair in a ponytail and was wearing khaki safari shorts with brown leather belt and black T-shirt tucked in, she had sunglasses on too. Michelle and Julia nearly ran to the group and was greeted warmly with hugs kisses, excited talk and laughter.

Lei," Hmph!"

Julia noticed one person in particular, and bent down to look at Hwoarang, "Aren't you gonna say 'hi'?"
Hwoarang," . . .hi . . . . ", he didn't seem excited in the least.



Meanwhile Michelle was getting showered with attention of her own, Paul got hold of her with a bear hug then swung her around by the hips," You get more beautiful with age!", Paul said, he had a thing for her.
Michelle," -- and what is that supposed to mean? I look old?!", Michelle frowned.

" No, no! I mean you , you, um, ah,--age like a fine wine!", Paul recovered with a sudden stroke of genius, [ very rare in Paul's case ] the beginning of a smirk formed on her lips. Paul was satisfied. The other guys coughed and hacked from the utter hamness of Paul's acting.

" You would think he would propose or something!", Marshall whispered to his son. They both twiddled their thumbs like nothing took place. Eddy of all appeared to be the most witchy. His eyes were still narrowed and he was still shifting his eyes as if he were trying to find one person in particular. . . . . . to KILL!!

Meanwhile Julia was still bugging Hwoarang. . . . .

" What kind of 'hi' is that? Come on! We're buds! We're supposed to hug!", Julia persisted, Hwoarang got out of his seat and
Julia clamped her arms around his chest, the top of her head was only chin level, then she heard a weak cough. She dismissed it was something else and said," What? Am I too strong for you now?"
" Don't squeeze so tight. . . . I'm sick. . . . . . . . . ohhhh. . . ."

" Oh get real, you're not sick. You're such a joker--now let me see those handsome Bold Brown eyes.", she took her fingertips and lifted up his chin so she could see his face, Julia sweeped the red strands of hair in the way behind his ears.

She finally got the firsts glimpse of his face since the tournament. Julia was shocked, Hwoarang wasn't lying! He really was sick! She slackened her grip on him and suddenly was gripped tightly by Hwoarang and he leaned on her.

Nina was almost was witchy as Eddy," Oh, the harlots
are here. I guess it's time to throw the clothes off and party.", she said nonchalantly leaning on the wall, that wall just so happened to be the same wall that Eddy was leaning on nonchalantly. They appeared to be mimicking each other though they were not.

Out of the same plane came the trio, Yoshimitsu, Byran, and Gun Jack, They met up with the crew. They really didn't have much to say, except Bryan, all he did was laugh evilly for no reason. [ yet another Tekken joke gone terribly wrong!] The band kind of chuckle laughed so the situation sounded a little more natural," heh, heh heee-", Forrest knew this was going to be a bad idea and lowered his head ," --oh boy.", Yet another plane arrived.

Who could possibly be missing,. . . hmm? Well,
Everyone waited, . . . . . and waited,. . . . . AND waited. . . . Finally the last people were getting off the plane, among them was Jun. All the old school Tekkeners eyes brightened when they saw her. . . .she descended the steps gracefully in a short white sleeveless dress. . . . . . then Next to come out was Heiachi, the wrinkled up old scrooge.

Everyone wrenched at the sight of him, he walked down the stair standing tall and very much still a butthole. . . . . .Suddenly the silence was broken by Yells and screams!

" No! I don't wanna! I'm not going down there with you! You CAN'T make me!!", Everyone recognized it as Jin's voice, he seemed distressed.

This was followed by a more manly and powerful voice," You're going and that's it! Now get out there and meet your friends!", The old school knew this voice and distinguished it already. Eddy just wondered who it was. Jin finally popped his head out the door unwillingly, he was apparently being pushed from behind.

" Come on Jin! We went through this a million times on the plane! Now get out there!!", the voice boomed, Jin clung to the rim of the door as if his life depended on it and the man that was making the voice came out pulling Jin by the leg, it was
Kazuya!

Eddy knew exactly who it was and his eyes narrowed even further, his hatred and disgust for this man welled up from his insides and Eddy took action.
