Chapter 2: Sumo wrestlers and sushi
I don't even know her name. Jin thought. Why do i even want to
know her
name? I may end up having to fight her in Iron Fist anyway. he
told
himself as a he knocked on Hwoarang's door. Hwoarang came out with
his
white training gear on. "Ready? Cool. We haven't sparred since
high
school, been looking forward to this." Hwoarang said eagerly. Jin
laughed,
"We've all changed haven't we Hwoarang? You? Dyed your hair
orange and
what was with the little throwing stars at the back of your
boots I saw
your wear yesterday?" Jin said as they did their 'secret' hand
shake,
Hwoarang winced a little, Jin had touched his wrist. "Hwoarang,
who did
this to you?" He said with a laugh, "Never knew you to carry
injuries."
Hwoarang scowled. he pointed to the door across the corridor and
said,
"A huge Japanese Sumo wrestler tried to hammer me when i made
moves on
his daughter." He mumbled, just then, Xiao Yu opened the door
wearing
her blue and gold fighting outfit. Hwoarang and Jin stared at
her.
Xiao Yu didn't see them until she looked up to find two tall
guys
staring at her, one was holding the other's wrist. Xiao Yu
raised an eye
brow, locked the door and walked to the elevator. Hwoarang
pulled his
wrist from Jin, "A huge Sumo wrestler?" Jin asked, and went
towards the
elevator after Xiao Yu, but the doors had already closed.
Hwoarang kicked
the door closed, then felt into his pockets for his key. he had
locked
himself inside again.

Xiao Yu walked out of the elevator and out of the hotel. Jin
ran out
after her and slowed to a walk when he was next to her. "Hey!"
he said,
Xiao Yu looked up, then Jin wished he had something more
intelligent to
say. "Err..." he mused. Xiao Yu smiled and blushed, she walked
across the
road into the sushi bar with Jin. There were some of the
competitors
there, Law and Paul sat at a large table scoffing down the bite
size
pieces like pigs, and a fellow with hand-cuffs hanging off his
belt sat
alone, reading a newspaper, and eying the others suspiciously.
"So... err... you like sushi?" he asked, trying to make
conversation.
Why am I trying to talk to this girl? it's 3 days until
tournament, I
should be training! he told himself. Xiao Yu nodded,
"I like sushi but I love shrimp dumplings and pao better." she said
cheerfully
with a smile. Jin grinned. Jin didn't usually grin, and Jin
didn't
usually chase after girls.
"How's your ankle, miss?" he asked politely, as he had been
taught to be
polite by his mother.
"How do you think?" she said, moving her ankle happily, smiling.
Jin
noticed that the girl's eyes lit up when she smiled. They
ordered salmon
sushi and meso soup, and talked, a lot.
"So, are you Japanese, Jin? Jin is a Japanese name." Xiao Yu
said, Jin
nodded, "Then, what of your parents, what do they think of you
fighting
in this competition?" Jin dropped his chopsticks, Xiao Yu bit
her lip.
i must have hit a sore spot. She thought. "I'm sorry i just-"
she began.
Jin looked up and smiled a strained smile,
"It's alright," he paused, "My parents were Kazuya and Jun. Both
were
killed by my grandfather." he said softly.
"Who is your grandfather?" she asked even more softly, it was
hard to
talk in the sushi bar, everyone was very noisy and loud. Jin
folded his
napkin and said,
"Maybe we should get out of here," he suggested. Xiao Yu nodded
and took
out a small purse, her smile dropped as she weighed out her
coins and
stared at the food she had eaten. Jin noticed this, "It's okay,
it's on
me." he reassured her. Xiao Yu smiled,
"Thank-you."

Xiao Yu found herself in the largest amusement park in Osaka,
talking
to Jin Kazama on a Ferris wheel. Jin would normally feel very
out of
place with people around and being alone with a girl, but he
felt all
right. "My parents died when I was young, I cant remember them
at all."
Xiao Yu said a little sadly, "Master Wang told me he found me at
his
tofu shop when I was five years old or so, every since then, he
has been
like a grandfather to me. he taught me everything about Wushu he
knew."
Jin nodded,
"My mother taught me from a young age also." he told her, Xiao
Yu
grinned, "I should like to watch you train." Jin said, staring
into Xiao
Yu's brown eyes.

Jin led Xiao Yu into a huge training gym in the hotel. Xiao Yu
had
never seen anything so splendid in her life. she clapped her
hands and
cart wheeled around the perimeter of the bouncy blue floor. Jin
took his
red flame jacket off and Xiao Yu tied her hair back. "You
first." Jin
said. Xiao Yu grinned, she loved to go first.
She showed him her favourite form, one she had put together
herself.
double palm stepping up spin side kick, swinging butterfly kicks.
then as
she landed she axe kicked twice and dropped down to a back sweep
gracefully, her hair swinging. A jumping spin crescent an inch
from
Jin's face, who didn't flinch, sweeping lotus fan palms and
finishing
off with her favourite, storming flower. She relaxed her
concentration
and smiled. Jin nodded and began his demonstration. His moves
were hard
and concentrated on power, very different from Xiao Yu's
technique, they
could both tell that neither was using even 30% of their effort.
so they
couldn't criticize each other.
Hwoarang and Julia burst through the doors at Jin's final
spinning
uppercut. they applauded over excitedly, obviously drunk and
laughing
like mad men. "Xiao Xiao, sweetie!" Julia came rushing towards
Xiao Yu,
Xiao Yu caught Julia before she fell over of laughter. Jin
grinned as
Hwoarang winked at him with a manic glee. Jin and Xiao Yu took
their
friends back safely to their rooms.
