I do not own Tekken...
Hi everybody...thanks for the reviews.
Reina-183: I'm glad you liked it, and yes Hwoarang, Jin, Ling and Julia will meet again in the Iron Fist. Ling will have many surprises, but the Iron Fist will only happen in June 2010. Many other tekken characters will be there too.
TheWishofNight: thanks for your review...
I'll try to update as soon as I can...

-Call Mishima and tell him I'm after his precious grandson. Tell him he will be home for dinner!-said Nina.-Stop the car!-she ordered to the driver.
-Wait, Nina! You don't even know if he really is in this part of the forest!-said Anna.
-Do as I say!-said Nina getting out of the car and entering the forest.
-Damn it! She is going to blow it! Call Mr. Mishima, NOW!-Anna ordered the driver.
In the meanwhile, Nina was walking in the forest, trying to see someone or something move.
Jin was resting by a small lake, and he only felt Nina's presence when it was too late. He didn't recognise her at first.
-Do you need help, Mishima Jin?-she asked him.
-What?
-Do you need help getting home?
Then Jin remembered her face.
-You were in Nara! With the tekken forces!
-Nina Williams...it's a pleasure to meet you...now lets go!
-My grandfather sent you, right? How did you find me?
-Yes...he sent me...I think he misses you...and actually I have no idea how I found you. I felt your presence...
In the meanwhile Anna was talking with Heihachi.
-She is after him...in the forest!-she said in anger.
-Good...that's what I'm paying you for...
-But she's not ready to face him...
-You should trust your sister a little bit more, Anna! She's very strong...
-I'm not talking about that...it's her mind...her memories. She's not ready yet!
-That's your problem, not mine! You said you wanted her well-being...remember?
-But her treatment will only be over in one month...
-I want Jin back! I don't care about her medicines...or her treatment, I want Jin here!
-If she remembers everything, we'll be in troubles! Don't forget about that!
Anna turned the mobile off and got of the car, complaining about Heihachi's orders.
-Old fool! He will pay for this! Wait for us here!-Anna said to the driver.
Nina was trying to get Jin to collaborate.
-Your grandfather wants you home...in one peace, so be a nice boy and come with me...
-No! I won't go...I'm not coming back!
-Then I'll have to use force...
-You wanna fight me?
-People say you're extraordinary...I want to see for myself...
Jin knew he had no choice. They both prepared to fight and Jin was the first one to attack.
-I wasn't expecting this!-she said after his first attack.-People were right about you...Now it's my turn!
Jin blocked all Nina's attacks, and there was a moment when they both looked at eachother eyes.
Jin felt like he was drowning in dark water see and Nina was surprised by an intense white light that almost got her blind. Then she fell on the ground unconscious and Jin run off when he heard Anna screaming. He wanted to help Nina but he couldn't.
When Nina opened her eyes again she saw an arena. On the floor was written Iron Fist Tournament. She saw herself on the arena fighting against a man. He looked like Jin, but it wasn't him. She was on the floor bleeding and then her opponent took her in his arms and said that everything was going to be fine.
-Kazuya Mishima!-said Nina when she woke up in the car. Anna was right beside her. She and the driver had managed to drag Nina into the car.
-Are you alright, Nina? I was worried!
-What happened?
-I told you to stay in the car. You went looking for Jin Mishima, but you probably fell and hit your head!
-He was there! We were fighting!
-Really?
-Yes...
-I think he run off again...because I didn't see him.
-Who is Kazuya Mishima?-asked Nina confused.
-I don't know...probably Mishima's son.
-He was in my dream...
-Are you sure? Maybe it was Jin...
-No! It was Kazuya...and I need to know why!

-So, how was your exam?-asked Miharu.
-It stinks! I hate Modern History...-Ling answered.
-You don't like any subject...
-Of course I do...I like sports and martial arts!
-But you can't flunk three subjects or you'll flunk this year...
-Then I'll have to pray...because I only know that I'll pass sports and martial arts!
-You'll have to study more...we have two more exams. Maths will be easy, but I'm scared of Biology...
-Yes...I know...but I just can't focus...
-I'm a bit scared of sports and martial arts, too. I'm not as talented as you think...
-It will be fine...
-Depends on the jury.
-Isn't the jury the Headmaster?
-No...it never is. When Jin was here, the Headmaster couldn't be the jury because his grandson was studying here...
-Well, Jin isn't here anymore!
-Yes, I know, but I heard he has already picked the jury...
-Who is it?
-I don't know.
-Look who's back!-announced Murakama pointing at Nina and Anna.-The babes!
-Babes? You're a jerk, Murakama...-said Miharu.
-Whatever...I know they're the Headmaster's best friends...maybe he's having an affair...
-Shut up...-said Ling.
-Maybe they're going to be the jury...-suggested Murakama.-That would be cool...
In Heihachi's office, Anna was trying to get an excuse because Jin was still hidden.
-We underestimated his power!-said Anna.
-He is my grandson, you know? You'll have to do better than this...your sister doesn't seem very well!
-She's tired...
-I'm not tired!-said Nina.-I'm confused! Who's Kazuya?
Heihachi looked at Nina suspiciously. He sat on this chair and put on a sad face.
-Kazuya was my only son...I don't talk much about him...it hurts to know that he is gone.
-He died?-asked Nina.
-Yes...
-When?-she insisted.
-Nina! You shouldn't be so curious!-said Anna censuring her.
-That's fine...Anna-said Heihachi.-I told you that I don't like to talk about my son...and I won't...this subject is finished!
In that moment someone knocked at the door and Eddie came in.
-Good morning Mr. Mishima...
-Is everything alright, Eddie?-Heihachi asked.
-Yes. But I received a phone call yesterday to come here today...do you need me, sir?
-Oh...yes...I forgot! Please sit down...we have to talk.
-We're just leaving.-announced Anna looking suspiciously to Eddie.
-Fine...take care Anna and Miss Williams.
They both left and Eddie sat down.
-Who are they?-he asked Heihachi.
-Friends...Anna and Nina Williams. They're taking care of a business for me. Are you enjoying your job in my company?
-Of course...I've manage to get all your sponsors and clients back...
-Good...I appreciate that! But I called you just to know if you're available to be jury for the 10th and 11th grade classes here in my School.
-Of course I am. It will be an honour...what do I have to do?
-Just watch the kids fight...and give a mark...
-You mean for the martial arts practical exams?
-Exactly! I must say I'm very happy with your good work...maybe next time I'll talk to you about some of my recent plans...
-I'll be waiting, Mr. Mishima...
Eddie was anxious to know all about Heihachi's plans. His plan for vengeance was working out fine.

-Ling, do you wanna go study with me tomorrow?-asked Miharu.-I mean it's Saturday, and I think you need help studying Maths...Ling? Ling!
-What?-Ling asked.
-Did you hear me?
-Sorry...I was thinking...
-I can see that! What's wrong?
-Nothing...
-You're lying...I know you...how can you pass your exams if you don't pay attention in classes!?
-You could help me study...tomorrow...
-I already said that! You're really acting weird, Ling!
Ling knew Miharu was right. She wasn't paying attention in classes. She was always thinking about the Final FX. She knew, after that experience, her fighting skills weren't that good. After all she had been defeated. That meant she had to practice more. But she was also thinking about Jin Kazama. He had left without saying goodbye. And she felt she hadn't thanked him enough for saving her from Bryan's deadly attack. She just wanted to see him again.

-I'm nervous...damn it!-said Murakama a few seconds before someone called him.
-Good luck!-said Miharu before he disappeared by the gym's door.
Miharu, Ling and five more students, were waiting their turn to do their martial arts exam. The students were called one by one, individually.
When Miharu was called, she almost fainted.
-Come on Miharu, you can do it!-said Ling smiling to her friend.
-I don't think so...-she said.
Miharu's exam lasted twenty minutes. Ling saw the other students enter the gym, one by one. She was the last one.
When the professor called her name, she entered. Surprisingly she wasn't nervous at all.
-Where are the others?-Ling asked her teacher.
-Outside...do you know what you have to do?
-No, sir...
-You're going to fight me. In your fight you will have to show your best techniques. They will have to include two from the Mishima Karate, and four from Chinese martial arts.
-OK...
-The jury are Misses Williams. I have no idea why we changed juries because Mr. Lima was the jury until now...Good luck, Xiaoyu!
-Thanks.-she said looking at Nina and Anna. Their faces were familiar, but she couldn't remember.
Ling's exam didn't take much time. She thought it was quite easy. When the teacher sent her out, she remembered Anna and Nina from Nara.
-Sir? Can I have a word with you?-Ling asked her teacher.
-Sure.
-The juries...who are they?
-Nina and Anna Williams. They were recommended by the Headmaster, and he was here, watching your exam.
-He was?
-Yes...he left when we stopped. You must be his favourite student...he only watched his grandson exams until now.
Ling left the gym. She was wondering who those women were. She knew they had been in Nara, but it could also be a coincidence. A very strange coincidence.

-We could go out tonight...-suggested Julia.-We could go to a pub or...
-I don't like pubs very much...neither do you...you want to see him, right?
-No...but...
-OK...lets go...
-But it's not what you're thinking! I want our medallion back, that's all.
-What if he doesn't give it to you?
-Then, I'll fight him...
-But you lost in the Final FX! He's too strong.
-I've been training...
-Fine...
The two girls went out. They only found Hwoarang on the third pub. He was surrounded by a huge group of other boys. They were drinking and talking friendly.
-Well, there he is!-said Michelle.-You can't deny, there's something different about him...
-Don't start, Michelle!
-He seems to be very popular!
-He's a leader of a group of thieves...what did you expect?
-People don't seem to hate them.
-Well, Mouse told me they only rob the bad guys...
-He is not so bad after all, Julia...
Julia and Michelle were ordering their drinks when two guys said they would pay their drinks. The two girls accepted. They started talking, and one of them noticed Julia's interest for Hwoarang and the Tsunamis.
-Do you know Hwoarang?-he asked her.
-I heard about him...actually I need to speak to him...
-Well, don't be too happy...we heard that he's not into girls...
-What?-asked Julia.
-Well, we never saw him on a date, so people say he's not into girls...
-That's OK...I just wanna talk to him...
Julia walked over to Hwoarang and managed to speak to him. Michelle and the two guys followed her.
-It seems like you're having fun.-Julia said.
Hwoarang looked at her surprised.
-What do you want? I didn't know you used to come here!
-Why? We can't? Because we're girls or because we're not Japanese?
-I didn't say you couldn't come...
-Look...I can take care of myself...
-And what's the problem?
-I want a fight! Just you and me!
-I think you said you didn't want to see me again...
-I changed my mind!
-I don't wanna fight you...
-Why? Are you scared?
-No! But you'll lose again...you can't beat me!
-He's right, Julia! Just ask for the medallion!-said Michelle.
-Is that what you want? The medallion?
-No! I don't want it without a fight!
-But...-started Hwoarang.
-I don't care...if you're not hurt, and have nothing else to do, you will fight me tomorrow!
-Are you serious? You can get hurt!
-I'm sure...
-Fine...then meet me in Field Nine, at two p.m.
-Fine! I'll be there!
EAST-OSAKA
25th JANUARY 2010
The field nine was crowded with Tsunamis. They were waiting for their leader. Julia and Michelle arrived at two o'clock sharp. When Hwoarang arrived, everyone was surprised, because he came with Kai, Ryo and Bit.
-What's going on?-asked Mouse.-You're not going to fight?
-Nope! I can't waste my time...
-But she insisted!
-Hwoarang doesn't want to hurt her...he thinks she's too beautiful...
-Shut up, Eijiro, before I'll make you...
-OK...
-Lets go!-Julia said joining the Tsunamis.-The fight is only over when one of us quits!
-Hwoarang sat down in the grass and looked at his three friends.
-Bit...you go first!-he said.
-Wait a second! I said you and me! I don't want to fight with your friends!-Julia replied.
-I know what you said! But you will only waste my time. You'll lose again. I'm just giving you a chance!
Julia was furious. He was making fun of her.
-I have nothing against your friends...I don't wanna hurt them...
-They have nothing against you either...but you started this...
-Don't be such a smart ass! Aren't you their leader?
-Don't waste your breath! He won't change his mind!-warned Eijiro.
-I wanna fight with you! But if I have to win all of your friends first...then I will!
-OK! So we'll make a deal...you win Kai, Bit and Ryo, and then I'll fight you!
-That's better!
Michelle sat down next to Hwoarang and they both saw Julia and Bit start their fight.
Bit was eighteen years old and his tae-kwon-do was not as powerful as Hwoarang's.
After all he was just his student. Twenty minutes later, Bit was getting tired, but Julia wasn't. Hwoarang called him back and sent Ryo.
-Are you saving your friends?-asked Michelle.
-Sort of...Bit isn't used to long fights...
-You were his teacher?
-Yes. I teach my boys the art of tae-kwon-do. They need to know how to defend themselves!
-Why don't you wanna fight Julia? Do you think she's pretty?
Hwoarang wasn't expecting that sort of question, so he was a bit embarrassed.
-She doesn't have a chance against me...I won before! I just wish I understand what's this all about!
-She's very proud! And sometimes she does things irrationally...but you didn't answer my second question.
-I don't know what has that to do with this!
-You're just as stubborn as she is! We will only be around until August! If you want to tell her something, anything at all, just say it. Don't waste time...because we don't have much...
Ryo was having some problems too, and Hwoarang called him back. He was going to call Kai, when Julia yelled at him.
-Cut this crap! Come and fight like a man!
Hwoarang accepted the invitation.
-OK...but I warned you!
Ten minutes later, Hwoarang noticed she had been training hard since the Final FX.
-You got new techniques!-he said.
-Yes, I do...
-But I trained very hard too...
-I noticed...
-Is this all about your pride?
-No...not all...Michelle and I will go to the Iron Fist!
-What!? Are you joking?
-Nope...I'm serious! If I can't win a jerk like you, I will never be able to enter the Iron Fist!
-So, now I'm a jerk just because I'm better than you?
-Yes...
-And you're using me to practice, right? That's an honour...but I wasn't expecting this from you...
-You're not mister-honesty either!
-I never said I was...and I'm really sorry for you and your pride, but I'll always be the winner!
Hwoarang attacked her when she less expected and she lost her balance. She fell but managed to pull him too. They both fell on the ground. When they opened their eyes, their faces were almost touching eachother.
-Why did you become a thug leader? Just tell me why!
Hwoarang was surprised by that question. He never thought she would be interested in his life, but then he smiled.
-It's life!-he said.-I can't change the past...but if you want to know things about me you should go to my place. We could talk about it...
-What!?-said Julia embarrassed.
-This has nothing to do with the medallion, right? Or your pride! You just can't stay away from me...
-I hate you! You're an idiot!
-Is that right? Then why are you holding me?
In that moment Julia noticed the position they were. It was quite embarrassing. She wasn't just holding him, she was hugging him. She pushed him violently and stood up.
The Tsunamis were whistling and Julia blushed.
-I hate you! You're an idiot...a smug...and it was you who fell over me!
-You pulled me!?
-I didn't mean to!
-Yes, right!
-And you didn't win...this was a draw...
-Fine! You can stop by my place anytime...I love these conversations with you...
-Idiot!
Julia was furious when she got in her room. She took a shower and Michelle was still laughing.
-You're starting to get on my nerves, Michelle!
-I loved that part when he was on top of you...
-Will you shut up!?
-Nope...I loved it! It seems to me that I was right! You're falling for Hwoarang...
-Why don't you think about your problems with Mario and leave me alone!? Damn it!

-Lets go see our marks!-said Murakama to Ling and Miharu when they both entered the school gates.
-Hey, Hirano...you're number one!-said Tsukasa, one of Ling and Miharu's classmate.-Your marks are excellent...
Miharu was starting to blush and joined Ling who was watching her marks amazed.
-I passed...I can't believe it!?
-I told you! Congratulations!-said Miharu.
-Boy...you had the highest marks in all the disciplines...-said Ling looking to Miharu who blushed again.
-I will not beat you in martial arts, though...-said Miharu.
-Lets go to the gym to check our martial arts marks...-suggested Murakama.
-You were the best!-announced Miharu looking to Ling.-I told you...
-Well, I was pretty good too...-said Murakama.
-Yes, but Ling had the highest marks...
In that moment three guys from the 13th grade joined them and looked at Ling.
-Are you Xiaoyu?-one of them asked.
-Yes...-she answered.
They were the School elite and no student from the 10th grade dared to speak to them.
-Congratulations!
-What for?
-Your marks...they are the highest...you managed to have the same marks as Jin...
-You must be very talented...
-Thanks...-Ling said.
-Jin would like to meet you personally...
-Do you know why he left?-Ling asked.
The three guys looked at her.
-No...we don't. Jin was our friend, but he never talked with us about his problems...
-Anyway...congratulations...
-Thanks...
-Oh, my God!-exploded Miharu when the three guys left.-Jin's friends spoke with us! I mean with you...
-So?-Long asked.
-They were his friends!!!
-Then, I guest he didn't care much about them...after all he left without saying goodbye...
-Don't say that...Jin cared...
-They were only his friends because Jin was powerful and famous...that's all, Hirano! Jin Mishima was a solitary man...and that's the truth...-said Murakama.
