"My head hurts Sister..."
"I know my darling, I know, but the doctors here will make it better, I promise."
"What did I do?"
"You fell out of that apple tree you and Kei are always climbing. You've broken your arm too. No, no don't move it, just rest now little one."
"Sister Rose, when can I come home?"
"Today I think, all the other kids are worried about you."
Sister Rose smiled warmly, the way a mother does. She was like a mother to him after all. The redhead on the hospital bed looked up at her ad blinked. His eyes were tired and they fell shut as he drifted off again.
Hwoarang woke up gasping for breath. His mind instinctively told him someone was trying to strangle him. He jerked away and turned to deliver hell to his assailant, then relaxed when he realised it was only Jin, who had unwittingly managed to get him in some kind of chokehold during the night. He smiled cheekily and snuggled closer to Jin, waking him up.
"Sorry..." he whispered.
"S'ok" Jin mumbled in his 'I'm-still-totally-knackered' post-sleep slur.
Hwoarang kissed his shoulder and along to his neck kissed the back of it. Jin shivered at the touch and turned around to face Hwoarang, now fully awake and with a mischievous glint in his eye.
Hwoarang grinned happily and moved so he was straddling Jin. The fact that they were already unclothed made things easier, but the heat of the moment also meant they failed to hear the knock on the door.
"Jin? I was just wondering if...GYAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Jin yelped, Hwoarang looked like a rabbit in the headlights and Keitaro was covering his eyes and turning a bright shade of crimson.
"Shit!" Hwoarang screamed and dove off the bed and into his jeans. Jin pulled the covers over himself and willed the ground to swallow him up. Keitaro was trying to find his way out of the door without the use of his eyes and ended up walking into the doorframe and screaming again. Akira had apparently heard all the shouting and came running down the landing and into the room.
"What's going on?!" he asked. Spotting Jin lying in bed, blushing like a tomato and Hwoarang standing there topless looking very guilty, his question was answered for him. Keitrao crawled out of the room, also blushing and Akira just stood and stared.
"Well...I umm...I'll leave you too it" he said as he left the room, closing the door.
"Oh my FUCKING God!!!"
Hwoarang collapsed onto the bed and covered his eyes with his arm.
"Oh MY God!!!' he repeated, quieter this time. He turned his head to the side and looked along the bed at Jin who hadn't moved since concealing his modesty with the bed sheets.
"That was a bit unexpected", he said. Hwoarang propped him self up on his elbows and looked straight at Jin.
"Unexpected? Keitaro is going to be traumatised for the rest of his life!! I mean come on!! He didn't need to see that!! I didn't need him to see it!!"
"He wont be bothered you know, he is open minded, they all are."
"Kinda besides the point" Hwoarang mumbled. He rolled over onto his front and stuffed his head into the duvet. Jin gave a short laugh and slid out of the bed.
"Come on, let's go out yeah?"
"Before they throw us out?"
"They wont. I meant let's go out and enjoy Kyoto while we're here."
Hwoarang looked over his shoulder at Jin and smiled.
"Yeah, I'd like that" he said.
Kyoto was buzzing with people. Businessmen pushed past, carrying briefcases and chattering away on their phones. They found a little bar along the street and went in. The people inside stared at Hwoarang as he walked past, muttering away in Japanese.
"Don't worry" Jin reassured him "it's your hair, it's not often a redhead is seen in Kyoto."
They stood at the bar and ordered beer. The bartender, a pretty young girl with huge brown eyes handed them the glasses and smiled shyly at Jin. He smiled back and she turned away to serve another customer.
"Do you always attract so many ladies?" Hwoarang asked him, nodding towards a small group of woman in the corner who were eyeing Jin up too. Jin turned around and grinned at them, making them blush and look away, giggling.
"As egotistical as it sounds" Jin said, staring into the glass "yes, I do."
Hwoarang gave Jin his patented cocky grin.
"Ever get into any of them?"
Jin frowned.
"Well, there was a girl who I used to go to school with called Xiaoyu. We got very drunk at a party once and ended up making out on the couch and since then she followed me around like a lovesick puppy. Kazuya thought it was quite wonderful that I had a girlfriend and did everything he could to try and push us together. Inviting her round and on days out." He paused and smiled."She was nice enough but I was never really interested and I guess it took him a while to figure that out. I never had much interest in girls really, I just had better things to do with my time."
Hwoarang looked back over his shoulder at the group of girls who had now turned their attention back to their conversation.
"I've only ever been with one girl," he said "but she turned out to be a total bitch. Wing and the others told me to break it off; they saw it before I did but at the time I just figured they were jealous or something. I seriously should have listened to them."
Jin drained his glass and Hwoarang followed suit.
"Do you want to go?"
"Sure, where too?"
Jin looked thoughtful for a moment.
"Don't know yet, let's just see okay?"
Hwoarang nodded, set his glass down on the bar and tipped the barmaid. She smiled happily and said thank you. They were about to leave when the bas doors burst open and Kazuya stumbled in. He was looking worse for wear. His face was bloody and bruised, his shirt hanging in tatters from his body. All activity in the bar had stopped as everyone turned to face the battered newcomer. Kazuya looked up at Jin and grabbed his son's arm to steady him self.
"Get...get out of...Kyoto..." he gasped. Jin stood frozen. Kazuya's grip tightened around his bicep.
"Heihachi...go now..."
"Jin, I really do think we should leave..." Hwoarang murmured. Jin looked up and saw Heihachi in the doorway, framed by hoards of Tekkenshu troops. He gave Jin a malicious half smile.
"I see your pathetic wretch of a father didn't get to you on time" he said. Kazuya growled and span around.
"Fuck you" he spat "you're pathetic, not us. All you want is power and control and you can't have it because you're obsolete in comparison! You think that this thing in us is something to be worshipped and it will give you all the power you want but it wont because you can't control the devil! No one can!"
"That's no way to speak to your father" Heihachi said calmly. The Tekkenshu moved in closer and the customers moved father away. Hwoarang glanced quickly to his left and spotted a door, no doubt a back exit leading outside. Heihachi's eagle eyes noticed this and followed Hwoarang's gaze to the door.
"I wouldn't..." he warned, and Hwoarang relaxed reluctantly.
There was no way out of this. Hwoarang's hands clenched into fists at his side and he narrowed his eyes. He wasn't about to get taken down so easily again. Jin was staring intensely into his grandfather's eyes with pure hatred and Hwoarang saw his eyes briefly flash with the familiar blood-red tint. Kazuya's arm twitched slightly and he threw his body forward, knocking Heihachi back into the wall. He started laying his fists into Heihachi's face, not giving him a chance to retaliate. The Tekkenshu swarmed towards Jin and Hwoarang and the customers in the bar scattered for the doors. Hwoarang grinned and took up his stance, he felt like kicking some Tekkenshu ass...
Yeeeeeeeees!!!!! Go Hwoa!!!! You kick their asses baby!!!! ahem... yes.... well anyway... gee, what is it with these guys and bar fights??
