Author's Notes: I'm on Easter holidays! Yay! Only a few weeks left to go...Five actually, untill summer holidays. The bad part about that is that I haven't found a summer job, yet. Life is so unfair, my friends got jobs through lying and exaggerating about how hard working they are, and stuff. One of my friends from my martial arts class, even strangled someone, who worked in a department store, when they said no. And guess what... she got the job! Ugh, I've asked seven stores already, six of them, said no and one said maybe.

Babyg2988: Well, I guess you are a bad niece, then. LOL! I *heart* cliffhangers, that's why I have so many.

Lacrease: Well, you never know if I did I kill Xiao. You'll find out in the next chapter. So, you like Jack and Paul? I prefer Jack. If you liked that insult that he teased Paul with you're gonna love the insults he says, in this chapter. This is also the chapter they fight in. Jack vs. Paul, who'll win?! I sound like a TV commercialist, so I'm gonna stop now.

Serini the WaveTrapmaster: Yeah, it's cool. Serini and Yami Serini, I have a question: Does Kyana kick or punch mostly in her fighting style, or does she ONLY use her Reverse blade.

Xiang turned around quickly, she pulled out her gun, hearing the entrance of another person.

She walked towards the wall, getting ready to shoot. She noticed the shadow coming closer. She stood pointing her small Desert Eagle gun at a stranger. The hooded figure looked at her. She looked at him. She moved back a few steps. " Don't you dare move!"

He was tall. His complexion was lightly tinted with brown color. He had black hair, and piercing dark eyes. He wore a crimson red, hooded sweater with dark and baggy jeans. He looked at the gun, strangely and at the teenage girl, holding it.

Xiang turned around to hear, the stranger let out a few words. " I'm Jason Fawkes, this is my room, who are you and why are you pointing a gun at me?!"

" I'm Xiang, I live here too, I thought that you were a thief, you know the criminality in this city has increased alot." Xiang said.

" Why do you have that gun? Are you a cop or something?" Jason asked.

" Me .... a cop? No. I just keep it around if anything happens. You know you can't trust people, these days. Especially, not if they come sneaking in at night." Xiang added. Jason walked into the other room, and looked around. Xiang sighed of relief. He almost found out the truth about my occupation, if not for that lie, Xiang thought.

                                                            ¤ The alarm clock rang hysterically, over and over. Getting louder. Akiko looked up, from her bed, angrily. She looked around. The blue wallpaper, the small wooden table was all she could see from her side, in a blurry picture. She heard and creeky sound. Akiko whipped around, saw Kotou, jumping up and down on the other twin bed. She turned to the clock, which had several digits written in it; 06:00 AM. 

" Good Morning!" Kotou said and smiled brightly. Akiko glared at her, angrily and quizically.

" I set the alarm clock to wake you up." Kotou explained.

" But why at six am, I mean that's early!" Akiko shouted at her roommate.

" Akiko, you have to get a good start for the day and I needed someone talk to. I'm just so excited for today, aren't you?" Kotou explained, she sat down on the bed. She turned to her firend and waited for a reply.

" What are we doing today?" Akiko asked, her friend. Kotou thought she was joking.

" You forgot what's happening today? You've gotta be kidding me! Today the tournament starts!" Kotou burst out with sheer excitement.

" Oh shit." Akiko said starting a chain of swear words, in different languages.

" Akiko, don't swear it doesn't sound nice, and it's not lady-like." Kotou continued.

" Yeah, yeah, whatever. I'm gonna go shower." Akiko said, and got of the bed.

" It's my turn, I'm going first." Kotou said, and quickly jumped of the bed.

" In your dreams!" Akiko exclaimed.

" That's not fair, you got the most comfortable bed, I get to shower first..... Okay?" Kotou said and started to run towards the bathroom.

" You wouldn't dare," Akiko said and raced towards the bathroom, following her friend.

Lei Wulong stepped out of the plane. He had came to Japan, with hope; Hope of convincing his niece, not to enter the tournamnent. He only had two hours. He knew that what he was trying was impossible, knowing Xiang. One word to describe her truelly was; Stubborn. She had gotten it from her mother. The word to describe Lei was; Conniving.

                                                            ¤

Azreal Richter walked outside, he looked up at the streets as a taxi stopped at the corner of the street. Azreal hurriedly rushed towards the car and rushed in, knowing that it was almost impossible getting a taxi in rush hour.

" Bonzai street , please." Azreal said.

" That will be 5,000 yen." The driver said. Azreal took out his wallet and handed the money to the driver.

The car started to move, in the car jam. It took several minutes, untill they arrived at Bonzai street. Azreal opened the yellow car door, quickly. The driver opened the glass window, and muttered some words, as Azreal walked away. " Don't I get a tip?"

" No." Azreal replied.

                                                            ¤

Sachiko put on a plain pearl white tanktop, underneath a dark jeans jacket. To that, she had a pair of dark jeans. The jeans had a leather strap going down that sides. It also had a leather strap, knotted through two holes, instead of a zipper. She walk towards the window and looked down, from the whithering heights, of her room, which was on the eighth floor. She looked down happily at the cars stuck in the rush hour traffic of Tokyo, the most crowded city in the world. The cars looked like ants, from her view.

" Morning." Sachiko turned to see her room mate, Tatiana. Tatiana wore a blue t-shirt and a pair of silk blue pants, which were her pyjamas. She hadn't changed yet. Sachiko moved towards the sofa and sat down. She reached for the remote control. She flicked a button and the TV, instantly opened. Tatiana rested herself on the sofa. Sachiko turned to face her and asked, " When does the tournament start? I mean at what time?"

" At eleven. But all the fights will start at twelve." Tatiana replied.

                                                            ¤

Bryan Fury looked up at the sky. He wondered whether he'd meet Lei Wulong. He wanted to cause Lei, all pain, he felt. He wanted to destroy Lei Wulong and Lei's family, for shooting him and for bringing Bruce Irwin down. He swore that he would do it.

                                                            ¤

Bang. Bang. Bang.

That pretty much, woke Jason up. He walked into the next room. He watched as Xiang did several, cartwheels, backflips and sommersaults, in a pattern. It looked really cool. Xiang stopped, after noticing her audience.

" That was really cool." Jason said, in awe.

" Well, I was a cheerleader in highschool." Xiang explained.

                                                            ¤

Azreal was walking on the streets, he noticed that there were some teenage girls, who were pointing at him and whispering. He wondered why. Some of them walked up to him.

" Excuse me. You are Kai Xiaoyu, aren't you? We think you're really cool! Could we have your autograph?" One of the fangirls said, she didn't even give Azreal time to tell them that he wasn't Kai Xiaoyu.

" I'm not Kai Xiaoyu." Azreal explained. The fangirls looked down in dispair, Azreal pulled himself away from them and walked away.

                                                            ¤  

" Today is the start of the King Of Ironfist Tournament 6, I am Eric Mc. Callister, the current owner of the Zaibatsu. Now I will start by announcing the earlier winners of the King Of Ironfist Tournaments!" Eric started. " Kazuya Mishima."

At the mention of Kazuya Mishimas' name, Paul Phoenix clenched his fist, angrily.

" That could have been me," Paul said, to himself quietly.

 " Well, what kind of a loser gives up in the last round." Jack commented, on Paul's action in the first tournament.

Tatiana angrily glared at Kazuya, he was the center of the cursed gene. Which she would destory.

" Heihachi Mishima." Eric added.

" I wonder who killed him." Kotou whispered to Akiko. Silence filled the room, as the crowd waited for him to continue.

" Jin Kazama."

Paul angrily glared at Jin.

" You never won the tournament, Paul. You need to move on," Marshall said. 

" What kind of an idiot leaves before it was finished?" Jack taunted. Paul was yet again, restrained by Marshall.

" That was not a statement, it was a fact." Jack teased Paul, yet again.

" Just wait, Jack. One of these days I'll kick your ass." Paul replied. Jack rolled his eyes, and uttered a " Yeah right."

" Lee Chaolan." Eric continued.

 " I thought we disposed of that bastard," Anna told her husband. Anna looked up, strangely.

" No, we didn't." Bryan replied firmly. Anna was glad, he didn't lose his memory in the cryogenic research.

" And finally, Hwoarang Do San."

The redhead smirked and looked around the crowd, his eyes searching for Jin. Akiko remembered the finals, she had remember the four fights. How she had defeated Jason, how Hwoarang defeated Jin and when Jin fought her, and lost, and when Jin fought Jason. And her fight against Hworang. Which settled everything. Hwoarang won the tournament, Akiko came second, Jin third and Jason fourth. This time, she would win.

" I will now announce the first fights, today."

Everyone looked up.

" Xiang Xuli vs. Steve Fox. Azreal Richter vs. Alison Phoenix. Ken Chaolan vs. Raven Wing, and finally, Paul Phoenix vs. Jack Revington."

                                                            ¤   

" I'll enjoy kicking your ass!" Paul told Jack.

" Don't push your luck, old man!" Jack exclaimed, this comment sure made Marshall laugh.

" Hey, the only luck you'll have, is if I were to go easy on you!" Paul commented. Forrest rolled his eyes. The arguement had started.

" Not, only are you weak, you are DUMB too!" Jack teased.

" Yeah, and I'm Lee Chaolan. " Paul stated confidently.

" Hi, Lee. You know, you two have something in common." Jack said, and bit his lip from laughing. He knew what Paul was going to say.

" And what might that be?" Paul asked.

" You both look gay." Jack said and laughed, with Forrest, who couldn't hide laughter, Forrest knew that Paul would beat him mercilessly later. Paul's face turned an interesting shade of pink. And his sky

blue eyes, turned an icy blue. He glared at Jack. Marshall looked at him, sincerely.

Xiang warmed up. Steve looked down from the fighting area. It was the balcony of an appartment. There were several floors underneath, which looked so the same. The reddish clouds lighted the dark sky. The spectators stood, below the two fighters, watching and waiting. The announcer started.

" Xiang Xuli vs. Steve Fox!! Fight!!"

Lei looked up, with concern. Xiang angrily charged at Steve, ramming her fists into his face, like a panthers' claws beating into it's prey. Xiang sent a kick, towards Steve's stomach. Steve dodged it and punched her left shoulder with power. Xiang winced in pain, as she fell to the ground. Steve's punch could have dislocated her shoulder. She bit her lip and got into a dangerous stance. Xiang bent her back and thrusted her leg, up and at Steve's face. She got down on her knees and kicked Steve. She lost balance and fell to the ground. She was sitting in a split. She dusted herself off and stood up. She connected her fist, to his stommach before letting of a dangerous blow, which sent him to the next floor. She jumped after him and landed gracefully, since there was a three meter dfference between the withering heights of the floors. Steve punched Xiang and after a long combination of punches, let out a well-timed kick. Blood smeared on the light metal bars, holding the floor. And connecting it, too the next one. Steve smashed his fist against her face. She was like a punching bag; Helpless. Against his blows. She angrily thrusted her palms against his face. And did an axe kick. Steve rolled to his side and got up. He continued to take heavy blows. He blocked one and continued to jab. His punches were well timed and obviously, well combined. Steve was in control. He girl fell to the ground. Bang. It was a hard fall. Steve punched her, she landed on the floor beneath.

Xiang got angry at the thought of knowing what her uncle would say, when he saw the fight: I told you not to enter. Those words repeated themselves over and over in her mind. The anger gave her strength. She got up and started to beat the living daylights out of Steve. She sent a hard kick against his face. And once again, slammed her knee against his stomach, causing Steve a painfull fall. Steve coughed up, blood. Xiang did a backflip. She went into a really low stance, leaving a small distance between her and the metal floor. She jumped at him, releasing a painfull kick.

" K.O. !Xiang Xuli wins!"

                                                            ¤

Azreal kicked Alison. She received the kick, painfull. She felt nervous, hearing the way her family were hollering cheers to her. She tried to knock him, though it was harder, than she thought. He was a really high skilled Jeet Kune Do fighter. She blocked his punch and continued to kick him. Alison let out, a full powered attack, which sent Azreal to the ground. Azreal got up and did a sommersault then let out a kick, when she was in the air. Azreal towered over her, when she was on the ground. He kicked her in the stomach. She rolled to her side and got up, recovering from the blow. She fell to the ground from the next blow. The crowd gathered around the fighting two. Silence filled the crowd, of people, who were in the supermarket. Azreal knocked Alison into the fruit stands. She got angry and reversed the attack. Azreal landed on the ground. She kicked him, when he was on the ground. He rolled to his side, and got up. He spun around and threw his fist at her. She was flying across the air, there was a statue, which she landed next to. She tried to escape, Azreal's next attack. But she could not.

" K.O! Azreal Richter wins!"

                                                            ¤

Jack and Paul stood facing eachother. The announcer set the start, and the two charged against each other. Jack threw a fist at Paul, he crouched at grabbed Paul's leg and twisted it. He ran closer to Paul, and let his ankle go and he ran. Paul fell backwards and landed on the ground of the forest. The green grass, and the tress, made Jack feel relaxed. Relaxation was an important factor in Shaolin Kung fu. Jack knew it was important to maintain relaxed, as he fought. Paul sent a flurry of kicks, knocking Jack down. Jack returned the attack, with a renegade of punches. The fury behind the attack, was intense. Very intense. Paul went in for a throw. Jack flew, over Paul's shoulder and landed on the ground. Jack grabbed Paul's ankle and lifted it up and then tossed it forward. Paul lost all the balance, he had and plunged to the ground. Jack went into a stance, which looked remarkably strange. He sent a high kick, which towered over her stomach and then her face, striking those areas, painfully. Paul fell to the ground. He fell painfully. Pain surrounded him. Paul fought back. They continued fighting.

Jack sent a low kick, towards Paul. It hit him, with rapid speed. Jack jammed his fist up, hitting Paul, when he fell to the ground.

" K.O. Jack Revington wins!"
