Chapter 2

Jin awoke. The light of day shined through the windows of his tiny room. He slowly sat up and rubbed the sleepiness out of his eyes. He got dressed and went into his kitchen to eat something. He lived in a small cabin on the edge of town where he could have his privacy. The cabin was not far from the woods so he could enjoy his favorite unwinding activity...

Forest bathing...

In an hour, Jin set off into the forest. He walked along a small dirt trail for a while until he came to a large weeping willow. It's branches hung out over a small pond that was only about 3 feet deep. It was fed by a small stream splashing down from a rocky ledge, making a tiny waterfall. Jin shed his clothing and waded into the water. It's coolness soothed him mind and body. He waded over to the waterfall and stood underneath it with his eyes closed. The feeling of the water trickling down his back was wonderful...

After a couple of hours, Jin left the pond and returned to his home. Realizing that his cupboards were nearly bare, hw decided to go into town to the store. Jin had no car, but he didn't mind the walk much. As he crossed a busy intersection, he heard a small shrill cry echo from an alley to his left. Jin's curiosity was aroused, so he proceeded down the alley. At the end, he found Hwoarang and his gang mugging a homeless bum. Upon seeing Jin, the man became wide eyed and stared. Hwoarang followed his glance and his eyes fell on Jin, who stood straight up and stared back. "So, Kazama finally comes out of the woods," Hwoarang said, with some amusement. "Of course, one simply must venture into a deserted alley to find a punk like you," Jin shot back coldly. One Hwoarang's adherents whispered "Want him taken out?" Hwoarang whispered back "Yes, but I'll take care of that." Hwoarang's gang casually shouldered past Jin and left the alley. Hwoarang smiled a cocky smile and said "Well, since I never had the chance to even the score with you, I guess now's the time. We had a draw lat time, Kazama, but now I'm gonna kick your ass." Jin laughed out loud. "If you really want to be beaten that badly, then come," Jin replied. The two engaged in a fight...

The burning forest created dense plumes of smoke. With the sky a deep red, Kazuya held up his last opponent by his neck. A flash of lightning streaked across the sky. "Pathetic," Kazuya muttered, throwing the man to the ground. Kazuya surveyed the destruction. His Devil Gene held so much power! If only he could find the other half. "Jin Kazama," Kazuya said. "He holds my other half. He possesses the rest of my power. If I can acquire that part of the Devil Gene, I will become omnipotent!!" A maniacal laugh could be heard miles away.

Hwoarang hit the ground hard after Jin's vicious uppercut. With blood dribbling down his chin, Hwoarang stood back up and tried to rush Jin with a series of blazing fast kicks. Jin easily stepped aside, dodged, ducked, and swerved to avoid the blows, then came back another uppercut. Crouching low, he leaped at Hwoarang with a left uppercut, launching the blood talon in the air, only to come crashing to the ground once more. Jin was not even panting. He eyed Hwoarang's unconscious form on the ground, then turned his heel and strode away. ***********************************************************
