( Sorry about the mistakes I might write but, truth is that I'm still learning english, you know, I'm portuguese, (and I'm only fifteen) ok, not a good excuse huh? Anyway, read my story if you like, and tell me your opinions, ok? Thank you!

The Native American Julia Chang looked at the twenty one years old Japanese boy amazed. He was fighting a blond boxing man in the arena of the "king of iron fist tournament". In her heart, Julia, thought that he was the most handsome man she had ever seen. His black hair, his mysterious brown eyes and his perfect musculate body were making her blush as she watched him. Suddenly, remembering where she was she took her eyes from him and tried to concentrate in the next fight. Realising that she couldn't concentrate she thought that she had to know something first.
"Xiaoyu...?" Julia called her Chinese friend who turned to look at her. "Who is that guy in the arena?"
"You have to be more specific, Julia." Xiaoyu replied turning her attention to the fighting arena.
"The one with black hair. The one who is winning. The one who has just kicked the blond, the one who, ouch, just punched the boxing guy-
"Ok, ok!" Xiaoyu laughed. "It's Jin Kazama. "The grandson of Heiachi Mishima."
"Really...!" Julia sighed surprised watching his movements as he walked out of the arena. Although he had won the fight, Jin, kept a serious face, not showing any happiness with the fact that he had won, again, Julia could notice. And that made her feel interested in Jin Kazama.
"Julia it's your fight now!" Called Xiaoyu from her right side.

Many fights passed with Julia always winning, and then, she finally arrived at the penultimate stage, and to her not surprised face it was Jin Kazama who she was going to fight. She watched him entering in the arena making her breath stop for two seconds, she felt nervous. What is happening to me? I never felt like this in a battle before... she thought avoiding Jin's eyes that were now looking at Julia.
I wish it wasn't with her who I had to fight... I don't want to hurt her. Jin thought looking at the beautiful girl in front of him. She had long brown hair tied in two pigtails falling down her back, soft brown eyes and she wasn't very tall which made her look adorable in Jin's eyes. As he heard the word "fight" ecoate in the arena, his heart started to beat faster. He didn't want to fight her, what could he do to stop that? It was then that he heard the words coming from her sweet mouth.
"No!" Julia said determined looking straight into in his eyes. "I can't do this... I won't fight you, Jin Kazama! I...quit..." With that she left the arena leaving Jin with a sigh of relief. To his own surprise, he smiled softly but, however, he couldn't hide a look of concern about the girl. Julia reached her friend Xiaoyu who was looking at Julia with her mouth totally open.
"What are you doing? Why did you quit now? So close to the end!" Xiaoyu asked when she finally recovered from the shock.
"I didn't want to fight him..." Julia answered calmly.
"What are you saying? Why?" Xiaoyu asked even more surprised with Julia's words. "Aaah! I know why! It's because you like Jin Kazama don't you?"
Julia looked at Xiaoyu Ling in surprise. She didn't really knew why she had left the arena but deep in her thought that was the main reason why she had done that.
"I... don't know..." This was all Julia could answer to her friend who was know smiling britghly at Julia. The last fight of Jin was now begginig so Julia turned all her attention on the arena where Jin was fighting Heiachi Mishima, his grandfather. Julia couldn't bare watching that fight so she left the tekken building to get some fresh air. When she arrived outside a cold, almost freezing breeze blew, making her shiver with the cold. Her demin clothes weren't enough to protect her from the winter nights. Suddenly she heard a noise next to her. She wasn't alone in that deserted street. She turned quickly to see a familiar red haired man, about her age, looking at her with a soft look in his light brown eyes that made Julia feel unconfortable.
"Julia Chang, right?" The Korean man asked smiling. Julia nodded. "It's going to be difficult for me to forget you, you know?"
"Really?! Why?" Julia asked confused.
"Because you were the first woman to beat me in a fight." The man answered.
"Well... There is always a first time for everything... Howarang." Julia said smiling back at him.
"You remember my name, huh?" Howarang replied getting close to Julia who didn't move from where she was standing.
"Well, after all, I beat you back then, so I must know your name!" Julia said shivering again. "Look, I have to go back inside, just to see how Jin... is doing." Her last words made her heart bump with excitment. What was it that she was feeling for Jin. Leaving Howarang on his own she headed to the place where Ling was and then she could notice that the fight had ended because every single person watchig the fight got up and started to cheer and scream Jin's name. Jin had won the fight.
"Where were you? Jin won! Julia, your beloved Jin, won!" Xiaoyu said teasing Julia who looked angry at her friend who laughed loudly.
"Stop that!" Julia said smiling with excitment.
"Well Julia, we have to go to the Mishima Zaibatsu hotel, remember? All the tekken fighters that entered in the iron fist tournament are offered two nights in Mishima hotel!" Ling informed her friend who was looking at Jin, and for her surprise he looked back at her from the arena where he was standing with the Iron Fist Cup in his hand. But she noticed again that he wasn't smiling. He kept his mysterious gaze in his face causing Julia to tremble as he stared at her.

Julia, followed by Ling Xiaoyu left the Mishima building with their clothes bags on their shoulders. It was dark and cold outside. They gave more than five steps in the night when they heard a male voice coming from behind, they turned and for Julia's hapiness, it was Jin calling HER name, Julia. He stoped when he reached them and Julia noticed that Jin, too, wasn't alone, Howarang was running after Jin and he stoped reaching the girls who looked puzzled at the boys.
"Julia, I... want... to... ask... you something." Jin said catching up with his breath. Julia just stood there looking at him.
"Why did you leave from the battle like that?" Jin asked carefully choosing his words. Julia continued looking at him, but now, with a surprised and yet gentle look in her eyes.
"I... couldn't continue... But, why are you asking me that?" Julia asked with a soft voice.
"I was relieved when you quitted. I didn't want to fight you... But, I was quite confuse when you left." Jin confessed avoiding her eyes. She just stared at him feeling her cheeks getting hotter as she blushed.
"Well, it's over now, I just had to leave. Don't worry, really... By the way... congradulations... Jin." Julia replied turning her back to Jin and started walking away with Ling following, making their way to the Mishima hotel. Why did I walked away like that? I was so stupid! Julia thought entering in the two beds room with Ling, her room mate.
"You really like Jin!" Xiaoyu assured Julia.
"It's not that I like him, it's just that... I'm feeling interested in Jin..." Julia said laying on her bed and staring at the ceiling.

"What was that all about?" Howarang asked looking at Jin who was opening the door of their room.
"What was what?" Jin asked.
"That, with Julia! I didn't want to fight you." Howarang mimicked Jin.
"So? What's the problem with that?" Jin asked looking at Korean young man.
"You never said that in a fight, even with other girls in the different tournaments. You never refused having a fight in a tournament." Howarang was now looking at the serious look in the japanese face.
"Well... There's a first time for everything!" Jin answered. Where did I heard this? Howarang thought remebering Julia's words.
"Humm... I think you're falling for her!" Howarang finally said with a smile on his lips.
"What!?" Jin said surprised.
