Chapter 2

4 months later...

Dear Chosen Fighter,

You have been chosen, upon your great martial arts talents and skills, to participate in the Tekken 5 tournament. This year the tournament is being held by Ling Xiaoyu, who is the new owner of the Mishima Co. Fight orders will be decided upon arriving at the Mishima Island, on May 1st. Be sure to be there or you will not be eligible to participate in the tournament. Best of luck.

Mishima Co.

"The letters were sent out to the fighters that you have chosen for this year's tournament Ms. Xiaoyu." Mrs. Carter, the secretary, stated to Ling.

"Thank you, that will be all for now. I shall you if I need any assistance." Ling replied simply.

Mrs. Carter's PoV

'Ling has been acting strange lately, like she isn't the same person anymore. I wonder what happened over those months she took off for vacation? What's with the sudden idea of a new tournament, and why did she have to send letters out? Why not just announce it publicly, you'd get a better turn out?'

"It's very strange." Mary said aloud

"What is?" Ling questioned.

"Oh nothing Ms. Xiaoyu." Mary quickly answered. " Can I help you with something?"

"No, I am just going out for lunch. Please hold my calls for me until I return." and with that she left.

'Wow I better watch what I say, I wouldn't want to get fired. With her new attitude who knows what she might do to me. Sad really she used to be such a nice girl. I bet it's that Jin guy's fault. I knew he was bad luck when he came here to stay with his grandfather.'

Ling's PoV

All was going according to plan. She had sent out notices to all the previous Tekken Tournament fighters, as well as new ones. It would be only a matter of time until she could show off her new moves.

' I shouldn't be so happy about wanting to hurt people. So why do I get this blissful feeling every time I think of I plan to do?'

' Stop that! We will not sympathize those who chose to be weak, we are strong and in a test of strength we will not falter. No matter who might have to face.'

Ling had been fighting the war within her ever since she found that person in her dreams. Though, she never did see her, Ling somehow felt that she helped. But, afterwards Ling had a growing suspicion that something was inside her. Moving, stirring in her head trying to gain control. At times she spoke, but the words and voice that came out was not her own. At least she didn't think they were, then again Ling didn't know what to think anymore.

' 2 more months, that's it just 2 more months.'

2 months later..

" Welcome to the Tekken 5 tournament! All contestants will you please fill out a entry form and proceed to the arena to decide the matches!" the announcer's voice boomed over the crowd.

" Judging by the look of the competition this tournament will be a piece of cake." One of the newest Tekken fighters said.

"Don't get your hopes too high, because you'll be facing me in the finals!" Hwoarang couldn't help to say.

" Oh really, and who might you be a great warrior? By the way I'm Mercedez..uh Bendz. don't you dare say a word!" Mercedez yelled at her future opponent.

" I just happen to be the one and only Hwoarang!" came his reply.

"CONTESTANTS WILL YOU PLEASE QUIET DOWN SO WE MAY BEGIN THE MATCH LINE- UP!" the announcers voice yelled.

"Thank you ever so much. Now if you will please come up to the front when your name is called, and pick a number from the bowl. This way judging by what number you are we can set up the matches. Ok first person..."

The matches had been set they were as followed: Hwoarang vs. Trinity. Jin vs. Anna. Nina vs. Lee. Mercedez vs. Mike. Niara vs. Christie. Julia vs. Steve. Chris vs. Zackery. And Mari vs. Yoshimitsu. The next rounds would be decided by who won the each battle, and so on until the last person fought Ling.

Julia's PoV

" I wonder if we will see Ling sometime before the final match?" she asked as she sat at a table with her follow fighters, and old friends.

" Perhaps you will, one never knows." Niara answered.

"Must you talk like a Chinese prophet?" Mercedez questioned her.

" I do not ask why you talk or act the way you do, so please refrain from asking of mine." was all Niara said before getting up and leaving.

"God what was her problem, all I did was ask a question. It's not like I asked for her to tell me her bloody history!" Mercedez said, feeling quite hurt.

She had seen Niara fight before and looked up to her as a great fighter. She secretly swore to get Niara to open up to them. A person like that could use friends, or they would go bloody mad.

"You know we should really get to bed early, we will need to wake up early tomorrow so we can warm up and do last minute training before the matches begin." Julia said, as she too began to leave.

Jin's PoV

' I can't help but wonder why Ling has chosen to continue the Tekken Tournaments. I feel as if this is a mistake. I will have to make sure that if keep an eye on her, I know that she will come to watch the matches tomorrow. If not for me then for her other friends as well.'

Jin didn't sleep well that night. He had haunting dreams about his mother, and her death. Jin didn't know if it was regret or the fact the he would see her soon that made him think about the day he told, or rather lied, to Ling about not loving her.

~Flashback~

" I know that you love, it's in the way you used to look at me, the way you always go out of your way to see me. If you didn't love me then you wouldn't have opened up to me, when you wouldn't for anyone else." Ling said, obviously crushed by Jin's previous words.

"No, Ling your are wrong I only opened up to you because I needed a friend who could help me." Jin replied rather harshly.

"So what your saying is that you were using me to help ease your pain? What about the times when you used to take me to special places, you never seemed to want to leave when I was with you?" Ling now was shaking, as she tried not to cry.

"No I wasn't using you, I love you as a friend not as anything else. I took you to those places because they calmed me and I wanted to show you them, because I knew you liked them. I never wanted to leave because what I had to go back to was not a place I would like to be at." Jin replied softly.

"Please.Jin.look me in the eyes and tell me that you don't love me." Ling said, as her tears flowed freely down her face.

"I'm sorry Ling, I don't. I don't want to ruin our friendship, but I must ask you to never contact me again." Jin said as he started to walk away. "goodbye Ling."

"I love you Jin, goodbye for now." Ling whispered, not sure if he had heard her.

~End Flashback~

He hated to lie to her, but he didn't want to see her get hurt. He knew that if she was seen with him, then Heihachi would use her as bait to lure him in. He couldn't risk it. Her heart would mend in time, but if he was careless and told her how he felt he might lose her. For now he would just have to admire her from afar. Now fully awake Jin decided to start his training early before the gym became crowded.

'With any luck, my training might take my mind off other things.'

Lings PoV

The beginning to her plan was nearly complete, all she needed to do now is wait for the first and second rounds of fights.

' I must be strong. I have to be perfect, the perfect fighter and my tournament contestants will help me achieve that goal.'

Ling had often wondered why that had became so important to her. It used to be that fighting only made her calm, it was like a form of dance used only in special times for defense.

' We must be the best my dear Ling. We must be the best, because it's the only way to make him pay for this pain.'

She knew that she would show him what he had done to her, the pain he caused. She would show him what she had become.

' After all, Hurting others will only hurt oneself.'
