I don't own Tekken.
This is the last chapter! I want to dedicated it to everyone who read this story, my sister, Daniela, and also Hideto Matsumoto, who is not among us anymore. Today, the 13th of December, it was his birthday…it's a special day…Now he's finally free! "Pink Spider sora wa yondeiru" (Pink Spider the sky calls for you).
Shadowsin: Thank you and hope you'll like this last chapter.
I'll see you Again ("Mata itsuka o-ai shimashou")
Hwoarang, Ling and Julia travelled a few hours to Fukui, where they had to change to another train to go to Ogaki and finally, in Ogaki they caught the Shinkansen (the train bullet) to Osaka. The trip was very long.
They finally arrived in Osaka late in the afternoon. They hadn't spoken during the trip because everything was still very confused in their minds.
-We're home now!-said Hwoarang.
-Lets walk…-said Julia.
On their way home Hwoarang couldn't help himself and told Ling and Julia what Heihachi had said about his family.
-He can be lying…-said Ling.
-Yeah…I know…
-He just want you and Jin to hate eachother!-said Julia.-Are you ok?
-Sure…-said Hwoarang.-I never met my parents…and I know they're probably dead…besides I can't miss what I never had, right? Hey…look! We're here!
The girls watched Hwoarang's house. The sunset made it look like they were in a movie. There were some Tsunamis by the door. Mouse was the first one to notice them.
-Guys, our leader is home!-he said.
Everyone wanted to see if that was true. Eijiro hugged Hwoarang; he didn't like the experience of being in his place for that long.
-You're late!-he said.-What happened?
-Sorry!-said Hwoarang.-I missed you too!
-So…did you get to the finals?-asked Mouse.
-Are you hurt?-asked Roomax, another Tsunami.
-No!
-Are you hungry? Dinner is ready! We have pizza, burgers and chips! And beer, of course!-Eijiro said.
They pushed Hwoarang, Julia and Ling inside the house. Then, Hwoarang noticed that Ling was very quiet.
-Hey guys…this is Ling! She's a friend and she's going to stay with us for a while!
Everyone looked at her and smiled.
-In that case…I think I have to introduce myself…-said someone who Hwoarang didn't know.-I'm Mario Farel…I was waiting for you!
Julia couldn't believe when she saw him.
-Mario!?
-Don't I deserve a hug?-Mario asked.
Julia hugged him.
-Who is he?-asked Hwoarang confused.
-He's my…
-Fiancé.-Mario concluded.-I wanna thank you for what you did for Julia. Her family appreciates that too.
-Sure…-Hwoarang said.
-Actually I'm here because they asked me to take her home…they're worried about her.
-I think you have many things to discuss with your fiancé…-said Hwoarang turning to Julia.-So…we're going outside…you need privacy!
Hwoarang left the house and all the Tsunamis followed him and so as Ling.
They sat down on the grass and started to talk about fights.
-What about your friend? The one Fury sent to the Hospital?-asked Ling.
-I think he's in Kobe…I'll go there one of these days.
In the house Julia didn't know where to start.
-How's Michelle?-she asked.
-The same! The doctors said she is recovering very slowly. When she's strong enough, they will submit her to a surgery to remove the bullet and then she might recover…
-I hope so…
-Your father wants you back.
-Did he say that to you?
-Yes. They need to be with you…no one regrets more what happened to Michelle than me…
-I know…I'm sorry…I should've been there with her!
-It's not your fault! Your father wanted to come, but the ambassador didn't allow him…because there are personal feelings at steak…
-Yes, I understand. It was better this way.
-Your father will not let the responsible get away with this!
-I already took care of that business!
-What?
-The one who did this…she's dead…
-You killed her?
-No! Of course not! I fought with her in the Iron Fist, but she died running from the authorities.-Julia lied.
-Oh…then we can go home! I arrived a month ago…you were lucky having someone to help you…but we have to go back!
-I know…but I need some time to say goodbye, ok?
-Sure.
EAST-OSAKA
7th AUGUST 2010
Two days had passed since Hwoarang had returned to Osaka. Everything was getting back to normal. People had missed him, specially his friends.
He wasn't talking to Julia, actually he was avoiding her, and she knew why.
Mario knew that Julia wouldn't leave without talking first with Hwoarang.
-I'm going to Tokyo.-said Ling to Hwoarang.-Today.
-Are you sure?
-Yes. Jin may return…I mean he used to live there too.
-You can stay here with us…
-Yes, I know but I want to go!
-It's your call…do you have friends there?
-Yes. I have a friend…I won't be alone!
-Have you spoken with Julia?
-Yes.
-What did she tell you?
-To do what I think it is better…
-In that case…I'll take you to the station, ok?
-Thanks, Hwoarang…you're really a true friend.
After lunch, Hwoarang and Julia were saying goodbye to Ling.
-I'll come here one of these days…-she said waving from the train.-I'll see you again!
-Hey…if you find Kazama tell him I'm waiting for him…
-Sure!
Ling was sad because she was leaving her friends, but it was time to think about her own family. Her grandfather and her mother were in China and they were probably waiting for news.
In the meanwhile Julia and Hwoarang were leaving the station in silence.
-He's not really my fiancé…-she said finally.-Our marriage was settled many years ago by our families.
-So?
-Mario wants to go home in two days…
-Fine. Go with him, marry the guy and be happy!
-My family is worried about me. I have to go!
-It's your life…I don't care!
Julia seemed hurt with his words.
-Fine! I think I will! I have nothing else to do here anymore! But before that, let me tell you that Anna Williams was the one who shot my sister…I got my revenge so I can go home now!
Hwoarang stopped when he heard this but he didn't ask details.
In that night Hwoarang told some Tsunamis that the person responsible for Michelle's attack was dead and that Julia and Mario were leaving.
In the meantime Ling arrived in Tokyo, the huge capital.
Miharu was very happy to see that she was alright.
-We were worried Ling! Where have you been?-asked Miharu at dinner.
-I was with some friends I met in the tournament!
-Mum, can Ling stay here for the night?-asked Miharu.
-Sure!
-Great…now you'll have to tell me every detail of what happened!
EAST-OSAKA
8th AUGUST 2010
Julia woke up very early in the morning. She didn't know what to do. She wasn't sure if she wanted to go with Mario to see her family and Michelle, or to stay in Osaka.
Besides the Mishima case was being investigated by the police. Heihachi Mishima was being charged with many crimes such as corruption and drugs smuggling. The police was still investigating the explosion that had destroyed the Mishima Fortress. Heihachi would probably be sentenced with the capital punishment, the life sentence in the most dangerous prison in Japan called Uminezu facilities.
Heihachi didn't have a lawyer and he was waiting the trial in prison. The Japanese government had even renounced to maintain his nationality.
Heihachi had told the police about Eddie Lima, but there was no Eddie Lima matching his description, so Heihachi was furious to know that Eddie had won.
Another mystery was related to Heihachi's accounts that had vanished.
The tekken forces had ceased to exist, some loyal soldiers had preferred to be arrested with their master, and they were also waiting for their trial.
But the only thing that Julia wanted was to make up her mind.
-Hi!-greeted Mouse when she left the house that morning.
-Hi! You got up early…
-Can I ask you something?
-Sure…
-Hwoarang said that you got your revenge…for Michelle.
-It's true. Why?
-Did you find the right person?
-Yes…she confessed…
-I'm sorry…Julia…
-Sorry for what?
-I knew who she was!
-What?
-I saw them…two women. But they threatened me…they said they would kill my father if I talked with the police…I'm sorry. My father is my only family!
-It's ok…it doesn't matter anymore…But don't forget that Hwoarang and Eijiro are also your family…and me!
-But you're going away!
-My family is waiting for me…
-You have us…and Hwoarang! He doesn't want you to go!
-I don't wanna go either…I just have to!
TOKYO
-I wish I could've been there!-said Miharu at breakfast.-Oh…there are two letters for you in your mail box…they arrived last week.
Ling hadn't told Miharu about Jin. She didn't want anyone to know what happened, but she was hoping that one of the letters that Miharu had talked about was from him.
She didn't know him that well but she was missing Jin. Ling didn't understand why he had run away from her.
-Ling?-asked Miharu.
-What?
-Did you hear me?
-No…I'm sorry…
-Did you hear the news lately?
-No…
-The Headmaster is in jail…
-Yes…
-I never thought he was such a bad guy…
-Sometimes people are not what we think they are!
Ling opened her mail box and the two letters were both from China. She opened the first one and she turned pale.
-What is it?-asked Miharu alarmed.
-It's from my grandfather…my mother…died…I have to go back to Hong Kong.-she said crying.
Miharu stayed with her for the rest of the day. She helped her packing and asked her family not to make any questions.
Ling knew that her mother's conditions weren't good. The doctors had said that she wouldn't live long. But she wasn't expecting that news, so she was still in shock.
-So…when is your flight?-asked Miharu.
-In a few days…
-What about School?
-I have to be there, for my grandfather. He's alone and I have to take care of him…besides, no one knows what will happen to the Mishima Polytechnical School, now that the Headmaster isn't here anymore. I have nothing to lose…
-What about me…I'm your friend!
-I'll write to you…
-Every month?
-Yes…
When Miharu left, Ling laid down in bed, crying. Her mother was gone, Jin had left her and she was going back home without knowing if he was alright. It seemed to her that life wasn't being fair.
EAST-OSAKA
9th AUGUST 2010
At seven a.m. that morning, Julia was packing. Her flight was leaving at eleven a.m. Mario was still in the Makia Hotel.
Julia wanted to say to Hwoarang that she wasn't going home to marry; she was going home because she had to.
She was going to knock his bedroom door when he opened it.
-Hi…-she said.
-Good morning.-he replied without looking at her.
-I'm leaving today…
-Have a nice trip…
-Thanks. I want to thank you for what you did for me all this time…
-You welcome…
-I'm not going to marry Mario!-Julia said searching for his eyes.
-That's none of my business…but you could've told me you were engaged.
-Mario is like my brother…we don't want to marry. Mario loves another girl.
-He does? He seems to like you a lot!
-He was dating Michelle. They had a fight before we came here. He wanted to tell our families that they were going out, but Michelle thought that it was too soon…
-So…you don't want to marry him?
-No. We are going to fix things as soon as we get there!
-Are you thinking about coming back? I mean…to see your friends?
-Sure!
Hwoarang went to the Kansai Airport with Mario and Julia. Before Julia could get in the plane, Hwoarang remembered something.
-I'll wait for you inside, Julia!-said Mario shaking hands with Hwoarang.
-I'll be there in a second.
-Julia…take this!-Hwoarang said giving her the medallion.
-Keep it!
-What? This is the third time I'm giving you this…come on take it!
-That medallion has a long story…if you want me to come back, you'll keep it!
Hwoarang shrugged and then he put the medallion in his pocket again.
-Ok…I'll keep it! I'll see you again, right?
-Yes. I'll see you again too!
When Julia took her place besides Mario, he looked at her intensively.
-You're coming back, aren't you?-he asked.
-Yep!
-He's nice…but he's Japanese and he doesn't know anything about our culture! Your father will not approve this!
-He's not Japanese. He's South Korean…and I don't care! Besides, we are just friends…what's wrong with coming here to see a friend?
-A friend? Yeah…right! I know you better than that!
TOKYO
15th AUGUST 2010
It was Ling's turn to say goodbye. She didn't know if she would come back to Japan one day. She was still confused, but now she was certain that Jin wouldn't look for her. She had waited for him, but nothing happened. She couldn't wait forever.
Miharu was very sad too, she was losing her best friend.
It was ten a.m. when Ling's flight took off from the Tokyo International Airport.
Ling arrived in China a few hours later and she felt happy seeing that her grandfather was alright. She had missed him.
The two of them went to the cemetery to see Ling's mother grave. Now, Ling had to make plans for a new beginning, but she hadn't forgotten about Jin.
Something inside of her was saying that she would never forget him and that he was the right one for her. In that moment Ling only wanted to know if he was alright, but they were so far away from eachother.
VENEZUELA
23rd AUGUST 2010
Eddie Gordo was a lucky man. He had betrayed Heihachi Mishima and he was alive.
He knew that Heihachi was going to spend the rest of his live in jail, and he was happy to know that.
Now he was spending his holidays in Venezuela. He had enough money to live in peace for the rest of his live.
After his holidays, Eddie was planning to settle down in one country in South America to enjoy his money and his new identity.
SOMEWHERE IN JAPAN
30th AUGUST 2010
Jin was living an isolated life, in the mountains, where he could practice without putting others in danger.
He couldn't forget all that happened to him and his friends. Sometimes he could still feel some pain due to the experiments, but the pain wasn't that strong, besides he was alone, so he didn't have to worry about hurting anyone.
He couldn't forget that he attacked Hwoarang with no reason after the explosion. He couldn't let that happen again, that was why he had left, and that was why he couldn't be with Ling. Because he was a menace to the society and to all the people he loved.
He knew Heihachi was going to Uminezu and he was hoping that he would suffer as much as he did. Jin wouldn't forgive him, after all, he had killed his parents, he had destroyed all the changes of his happiness, and how could he forgive a grandfather like Heihachi?
How could he forgive someone who had killed his own son? Heihachi was the kind of person that would never regret a thing; Jin was thinking that probably Heihachi didn't have a heart but a black hole instead. Only power was important and nothing else.
He had learned a lesson about trust. He would never trust anyone in his life like he had trusted Heihachi. He would not be used again.
What Jin didn't know was that Heihachi had been declared dead just a couple of hours ago. The judges had punished him with the life sentence in Uminezu. He was being taken to the Uminezu facilities, an isolated island in the Japan Sea, when the plane crashed just near the coast. There was no chance of survivors. There were eleven people on board, six bodies had already been found. They were all police officers. The searches would continue, but the rescue team said that they had all died.
When Jin heard the news, a few days later he felt that his parents were finally free. Now he just had to make sure that the Mishima family would not have any more heirs. He was the last of the Mishima bloodline, and things would remain that way forever.
He was going back to the forest when he thought he heard a voice calling his name. He stopped and looked to the sunset. It was a woman's voice, a voice that sounded so familiar.
-Ling…-he said in a low voice.-I'll see you again…

A/Note: After consideration, and after reading some chapters I have to agree with Lucy A. Jacobs, because I really have many mistakes, most of them due to lack of attention (I read the chapters twice before I post them and they still have errors TT, unbelievable!!!), so I'm sorry for that but I hope you all enjoyed the story anyway…
Happy Christmas everyone!
