Chapter 1 : Lie fang Arrives!

Lie fang stepped off of the dark yellow buss in her usual graceful manner, as her dark brown eyes searched her surroundings, she had clearly not seen so many people before, all shouting in different directions, in all different languages, it was impossible to figure out where she had to go.

"This can't be right?" she took out a white envelope from her white shoulder bag that had a picture of a panda and some form of Chinese writing, it was her favourite bag, usually when she would leave her home for quite a long time, she would take something she loved for good luck in some way.

Her cream striped skirt blew ferociously in the gusty breeze, it was becoming cold and windy, she would have to find her way through the crowd quickly, her shivering hand opened the white envelope that had been addressed to her, she had only got it the day before.

She was offered a place in the next tournament, but they had a new system now, where all the fighters had to go through this special test trail, to see whether they were capable of handling such a competitive tournament.

"huh! of coarse I am capable!" she said in a positive tone, flicking back her long perfect straight black hair, that had flowing brown highlights in it, it almost made it look dark brown when faced with the sun, she decided to wear it in cute pigtails, instead of her usual braids.

She figured that more people assist you when you need help if you play the sweet and innocent role, she was not to sure about this whole test trail, just thinking about it made her stomach clench.

"Excuse me miss" a man with flowing brown hair waved to her from under a tree near by, he was holding out leaflets in his left hand, "are you here for the test trail" he continued to shout from afar.

The noise of the crowd surrounding her was drowning the mans voice, she could hardly hear, people were brushing past, so close she could feel everyone's warmth near her body, her own nerves were giving off body heat, she was around to many people, and just wanted out.

"Can I pass please!" she ducked under people's arms, and had to crawl under legs, still there were to many people, everyone was calling out to somebody, most peoples ears were to the mobile phones they were holding, everyone was talking aloud, it was hard to hear her own thoughts.

"hello, sorry can I pass" people had glared at her from under their feet as she practically crawled through the crowd, her beautiful long hair was getting dusty from where it had been touching the cold concrete ground, her knees were red and soar with bruises.

She was about to give up all tougher, her full lashed eyes ready to close, that was until a sudden strong hand groped her right arm, practically dragging her out of the crowd she had nearly suffocated in.

Lie fang could tell it was not a mans hand, due to the fully polished manicured nails, and the small delicate features, as she got further away from the ever lasting crowd, a face began to appear in front of her eyes.

As she looked up Cleary, now seeing a full mass of straight layered shoulder length honey blonde hair, almost dark distinctive blue eyes, a more longer stretched out jaw line, her mouth only half opened forming the words "TINA!" she had not seen her in a little while.

She could tell not much had changed about her, she still dressed in her sexy provocative way, wearing a tight zebra patterned top that revealed half her cleavage, tight low cut dark blue jeans that showed off her well worked off stomach that resulted in well earned abbes, she looked like she had a lot of beauty treatment done, as well as tanning.

"well lie, you sure got your self in a real mess!" Tina half grinned as she looked over the exhausted lie fang, now taking a closer look at her self she could see the problem, her hair was sticking out in all directions, her eyes dark and tired, not to mention her new cream skirt turned into a musky grey colour, some soot still attached to her bright orange teach shirt she wore.

"great! And we haven't even got there yet!" lie fang shouted, while beating the dust out of her cream striped skirt, then muttering curses in Cantonese so that Tina was looking at her in a very confused way.

"I can see your English has improved, you been practicing?" lie fang looked up at her for a second, before going back to straightening out her clothes.

Just great! Always like Tina to catch me on a bad day and then somehow make it worse! she continued to consult her thoughts, ignoring Tina.

"you know I think their adding it as a bonus if you can speak English!" Tina was checking out her strong muscles in her arms, not realising the burning fire in lie fangs almond coloured eyes.

"don't you mean American!" she said it in a half polite way, making sure it was said in a mocking tone.

"Oh I'm sorry lie did you say something?" she looked innocently at lie fang with those deep blue eyes, that clearly annoyed lie fang, who again went into a rampage of muttering Chinese curses.

"excuse me! Are you for the test trail!" lie fang spun around to meet the same man she had saw under the tree earlier, this time he looked a lot taller in a lanky sort of way, his bottled glasses like a pair of magnifying glasses staring straight into her eyes.

"Duh! So when's this thing going to damn start anyway! Some of us are tired you know!" Tina protested behind lie fang, the man looked over her shoulder, staring blank at Tina.

"Yes if you would follow me please" he lead them through another crowd of people that were scattered through out the area, Tina casually wondering off to look at near by clothes shop windows.
Lie fang wondered who else would be here, even though she knew that only Jan lee was her posing threat, he who blinded her way, in her clear sight to win, with him around she could never be the best, she knew that clear as day.

He would have to be put in his place, if anybody was going to tackle that wild animal beast in him, it was going to be her, she just wondered what else was in store for her, were there any more opponents she should be worried about, she knew that if there were any she could handle them.

Her brown hazel eyes looked up to the darkening blue sky, as she walked nervously through the crowd.

I will pass this time! No matter what, no matter who gets in my way, I will pass this test trail, and prove to myself and others.....that I lie fang am a worthy advisory, and a strong fighter! .
