Chapter 5:

Inner Self

As her vision became clearer, she could see that Hwoarang was leading her to a small building a few blocks away from the hideout where everything was happening. Kazi didn't want to go back to Korea. For the simple fact that it was the enemy now. Not just America's enemy, but her's as well. Hwoarang sped around a corner and took her with him. He stopped and looked around to see if anyone was coming.

"Kazi. I want you to meet me at the Tokyo intersection as fast as possible. Don't follow me. They'll be less likely to find either one of us." He said turning to her. Kazi nodded and ran off in the long direction to get to the intersection. Hwoarang turned back around the corner and ran back near the hideout. There he found that Dareck and Tsaren had lured the two cops away and everyone was fine.

"Man, that was close. How did they find us?" Zach asked Hwoarang as soon as he got there.

"I don't know." Hwoarang pondered about it for a second but shook it out of his head and gave his orders, "Don't worry about it. I want everyone to split up and meet at the intersection. Zach, Lareng, find Dareck and Tsaren and get to the intersection as soon as possible. Move out." He said snatching his bike from the shadows and splitting from the others.

Her light footsteps hit the ground and surprisingly didn't make any sound at all. She twisted through the streets and skidded around a corner. She made many shortcuts through bushes, trees, and winding alleys and roads. Kazi finally made it to the intersection unnoticed. The guys suddenly pulled up from all different directions. She became curious and stood in the shadows, just listening to her brother and his comrades.

"Where is she?!" Zach said impatiently.

"Oh, come-on. I know she can run faster than that. I mean for gods's sake she ran five American miles holding a twenty-pound rifle under an hour." Hwoarang complained. She decided to put on an act and stood there half in the shadows the other in streetlight,

"Where have you guys been?" All of them jumped and some grabbed their chest. Kazi let out an evil smirk and pushed herself off of the wall. The guys sighed and took deep breaths. Kazi laughed.

"Kazi......" Hwoarang warned.

"Yeeessss?" She drew it out. Hwoarang's eye's narrowed. Kazi laughed again. "Oh, come-on. You didn't actually think I'd be late. Did you?"

"GOD, MAN! She scared the living shit outta me!" Itch said shaking his head. Kazi kept laughing.

"Alright. Stop goofing off. We need to get back to Korea. Itch, Dareck, Zach, Lareng, and Kazi will be with me. Tsaren, Tasing, and Rakaeas will spread some rumors and then report back to Korea with the rest of us. The rest of you will work in another group. Let's go." Hwoarang ended. Everyone that wasn't in Hwoarang's group sped off on their bikes. "You ready?" He asked Kazi. Kazi had just remembered something though.

"Hey, how 'bout this?" she said. Hwoarang looked at her. "I'll meet you guys at Fukuoka and we'll catch a boat to Pusan." She said.

"How are you-" Hwoarang started.

"Don't worry about that." She interrupted, "I'll be there. Promise." She winked and turned around fast so that her black cloak made a mysterious 'float' and whipped a bit in the wind. 'I wish I could see the look on his face." At this thought, Kazi smirked and kept walking and slipping into the shadows. Hwoarang raised an eyebrow and shook his head,

"Man, that's somethin' isn't it?" He said.

"What?" Zach asked.

"Nothin' Let's go." Hwoarang said. The others started their bikes and sped down the highway. Hwoarang started his and shook his head at his own thoughts, 'Why the hell did she just remind me of Kazama?!' He asked himself, 'I will find out what happened. I will.' With that he sped off after the others leaving it all behind........

The sound of Messiah, Kazi's motorcycle, was like music to her ears. The rumble of the engine aroused her real inner self, Kaziya. An unknown mercenary thug that had been caged for years suddenly rose from the ashes like a newborn phoenix. A new born Hawk of incredible power. Her eyes narrowed and her usual closed smile morphed into an insanely evil grin. The dust rose from the ground and the silence as cut short by Kazi or should I say, Kaziya, as she sped off into the distance…………
