Chapter 2 Wristbands and enemy talks.or is it???
Jade woke up to the sound of a knocking at her door, having no doubts that it would be Hwoarang, Jade quickly dressed and opened the door. "What do you want? Why the hell are you getting me up at...8:30 in the morning, you know I'm not a morning person!" Hwoarang snickered.
"Don't worry neither am I, but I heard the buzzer going off and Mishima's voice booming, 'Please go to the lounge immediately' so come on!" before Jade could protest Hwoarang had already wrapped one of his gloved hands around her wrist and virtually dragged her out of her room. Hwoarang didn't let go until they were outside the lounge. "Jesus Hwo...you got to mind you own strength, just don't think you'll, be able to do the same thing when where fighting in the arena!". Hwoarang just rolled his eyes at her.
"Shall we go in now?" Jade smiled and walked inside. Most of the fighters were already here most, Jade recognized from the last tournament, some she didn't. Nina William's was sat on the sofa by herself, sharpening her knife, Julia Chang was sat opposite her, reading a book, Ling and her panda were cuddled up in a corner of the room, a purple headed man was leaning on the far wall, the robot next to him mimicking his movements, Lei Woulong was keeping an eye on Nina and her knife, A blonde man wearing a Hawaiian T- shirt, was talking to a tanned woman in lilac pants and a purple bikini top, King was sat Indian-style on the floor, glaring at a tall, tanned, long hared man who was cracking his knuckles, Paul Phoenix and Marshall Law were also chatting away nearby, Bryan Fury was staring at the floor and Yoshimitsu was sitting on his sword.
"Well this is a happy bunch isn't it? You can almost see half of them wanting dearly to kill each other!" Jade whispered, Hwoarang nodded and tried very hard not to laugh. "Nearly everyone's here, just a few missing..."
"The Mishima's..." Jade murmured. Neither of them noticed, that in the shadows a hooded figure was watching them both closely. Just then the doors opened, and there in all his glory was Heihachi Mishima, Jade balled her hands into fists and glared at him, Hwoarang quickly put a restraining, hand on her shoulder. "Welcome...to the king of Iron fist 4, I'm glad to see some new faces as well as the old ones..." Heihachi paused here as he scanned the room looking at the fighters.
"Calm down, he isn't worth it now, vent out your anger in the arena when your against him" Hwoarang whispered giving her shoulder a squeeze.
"Now" Heihachi continued. "I will read out the rules for this tournament, This year, you will be given wrist bands which will monitor your bodies status at all time, they will only unlock from your wrist until your opponent has been defeated or you have defeated yourself, There is also no fighting another competitors before or after any matches, if you do you will be disqualified, And as a last note any accidents and deaths will all be classed as accidental, as you have all entered this tournament of your own free will, please go through to the reception to receive your wrist bands".
Then, with a turn of his heel, Heihachi walked back out of the room. Jade took a deep breath before sighing. "We'd better do as were told, but Kazama and the other Mishima didn't turn up...I wonder why, I mean I heard that the family hated each other but?..." Hwoarang shook his head. "I guess you don't know then, rumor has it that Heihachi tried to kill Kazama, but he failed, and that's why he's missing, he's been on the run for two years" Jade eye's widened in surprise.
"Oh...but...what about Kazuya?" Hwoarang shrugged as they walked out of the lounge.
"I heard that he died 20 years ago" Jade's jaw dropped.
"Woah! Now hang on a second! If he's dead then how the hell can he be here?!" Hwoarang smirked.
"Another rumor is that some lab brought him back to life, he's in the tournament to kill Heihachi just like you are" Jade sighed and shook her head.
"No wonder the Mishima's are screwed" Hwoarang laughed, then they went into the entrance at the back of the queue of fighters.
Jin Kazama didn't move as he watched His rival and the young woman Jade walk out. Jin frowned at what he had over heard. Hwoarang and Jade now knew that he had been missing, but his father? He had no idea that he was alive, well resurrected but still...Jin sighed knowing he'd have to talk to Jade soon, but how to without Hwoarang hitting out with his feet of fury? Jin groaned silently and slipped out of the room staying in the shadows until all of the fighters left.

"Man these are so uncool" Ling muttered as she rubbed the wristband. Hwoarang just chuckled and ruffled her hair playfully knowing it would vex her. "Come on Duckling it aint that bad" Ling's face puffed up ready to scream at the Korean before Jade stepped in. "Careful Duckling, don't piss off the red head, I know from experience". Ling stared at the two of them before turning on her heel and out of the reception still fuming. "I think that went well?" Jade smacked Hwoarang playfully in the arm.
"Don't you think it was a bit cruel calling her duckling?, lets hope she doesn't go for your ego in the arena for revenge" Hwoarang burst out laughing as Jade moved up for her wrist band. There was a click and the band was on. "You next Rang" Hwoarang nodded but as soon as he had his wristband on and turned around, Jade was already gone. "Oh great, she's disappeared! This is all I need"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jade ran out of the hotel as fast as she could, as soon as she thought she was out of sight, she slowed down to a quick jog, deciding that it would wake her up a little.
After about two hours of jogging around the lush, quiet forest, she stopped at a small clearing to rest and think out her plan in the tournament. Her plan was to work her way through the tournament, until she as paired up with Kazuya or Jin, then she would get as much information as she could from them before killing them, then hopefully she would reach Heihachi and kill him too.
Jade sighed knowing it probably wouldn't work out that way, Jade had never killed anyone or anything in her life before and she knew in her heart that she probably wouldn't have the guts to do it. 'But that mean's I have failed before I have begun...I'm sorry father...Tila...I'm so sorry'. Jade's hand wrapped around the necklace around her throat, it was a pendent, with a small brown stone in it with streaks of gold, her master told her it was made of 'Tiger's eye' a Zodiac stone and was meant for good luck, love and happiness.
'It hasn't brought me any of those things...' Suddenly Jade heard a twig snap and the flapping of bird's wings as they flew away from the intruder, Jade stood instantly in a Karate stance and stared around her, peering closely at the shadows of the tree's. "Who's there?" Jade asked.
Silence.
Jade let her stance down slowly, but her senses were alert listening and watching for the slightest movement or sound. "Why do you want to kill me?" Jade spun around to where the voice was coming from, but Jade saw nothing.
"Who are you?" Jade asked, automatically back in her stance. There was silence for a moment before Jade saw a figure come out of the tree's, his half black, half white GI blowing gently in the wind, he was staring stonily at her his eyes blazing in determination.
Jade blinked, once again dropping out of stance, she didn't expect Jin Kazama to look so...cute up close. "Well? You didn't answer my question" Jin folded his arms and stared at her, Jade clenched her fists and glared at him. "Why the hell should I tell you!" Jin blinked and resisted the urge to wince at the harshness of her words; it was like they were made of pure venom. "Because I want to know," Jin sighed softly looking at the floor to avoid Jade's venomous gaze. Jade blinked then gave a harsh laugh.
"What? You want to know? A member of the Mishima clan, that wants to know what his fucked up family has done to me? Ha! That's a laugh!" Jin stared at Jade again, she was looking at the ground, clutching a chain that was around her neck Jin could just see a small brown stone...
"Okay where do I start, not that you deserve answer's" Jade hissed walking to the other side of the clearing, as far away as Jin as it was possible, "Okay I guess it started with Hwoarang, I met him in Korea three years ago, while I as on holiday there trying to improve my Karate and teak Wan Doo skills, I challenged him to fight, and we did, but Hwoarang beat me, I was glad, coz in Japan I was undefeated and I was sick of fighting inexperienced thugs.
After I stayed with him and we became friends...but the real story starts when I came home to my Master Tila's Dojo". Jade took a deep breath and sighed before talking, in a much softer tone.
"There were guards everywhere, I fought my way through them and made my way upstairs.then I heard a gun shot, I rushed up stairs, three at a time and burst through the door to find my master, lying, bleeding on the floor". Jade sighed, a single tear falling down her face.
She brushed it off quickly and continued. "I tried to help her but it was too late, I heard her last words before she died in my arms. Ever since I have vowed against who did this to my master, but I found who had paid for that scum to kill my Master instead, It was your grandfather, and, not only had he ordered some low life assassin to kill My master, but he paid another one to kill my father, when I was six, making me an orphan!". Jade took a deep breath and turned to him, her green eyes blazing. "Do you have your answers now?".
Jin blinked and remained silent, looking calm, but inside he was wracked with guilt and shock, How could his grandfather do this to an innocent woman?. Jin's face softened and he sighed. "I'm sorry Jade...I...I didn't know.". Jade sighed and sat down at the base of the nearest tree.
"It's a bit late for that.but.thank I guess, at least someone in the Mishima clan can show an ounce of emotion". Jin walked up to her slowly before sitting a little away from her, Jade didn't move, she was so stuck up in her own thoughts that she hadn't noticed him move next to her. "So what is it between you and Hwoarang?" Jin asked. Jade snapped her head up and realized he was sat near to her, but she made no implication of moving.
"What you think Hwoarang's my boyfriend?" Jade tried to keep her face impassive but failed badly and burst out laughing."No he if you isn't must know, were on a friendship/rivalry basis, oh and he still wants to kick you ass". Jin chuckled quietly.
"Hwoarang never changes, to be honest I don't think I want him to...I just want us to be friends". Jade stood and brushed herself down.
"I might pass on that message...maybe" Then Jade turned and ran out of the clearing, leaving Jin more confused and now...attracted to her than before.
Jade ran as fast as she could back to her room, she opened the door (The lock didn't work anymore) and slammed it closed. Then she collapsed on her bed exhausted. She groaned and stared at the ceiling. 'God what a day, Hwo woke me up to early and now I've just had a conversation with one of my enemies'.
Jade sighed. 'I never thought I'd see the day a member of the Mishima family actually feeling sorry for what they had done, he was so...nice, even when I shouted at him...I didn't think he'd be that cu-Woah! Hold it right THERE girl! Cute? I think not!' Jade sat bolt upright on her bed, her eye's wide at what she had just thought, before groaning. 'Okay so I admit it he IS cute, but so is that purple headed guy and Hwo big deal' Jade flopped back on the bed. "Man I need a nap". Then she curled up and closed her eyes.

Jade woke up to the sound of a knocking at her door, having no doubts that it would be Hwoarang, Jade quickly dressed and opened the door. "What do you want? Why the hell are you getting me up at...8:30 in the morning, you know I'm not a morning person!" Hwoarang snickered.
