8th AUGUST 2011

After he went to Osaka to speak with Hwoarang, Jin was a different person. He was totally obsessed about his trainings. He knew that Hwoarang was training too and he couldn't forget that Hwoarang was truly his toughest rival.

Ling was very upset with his sudden change and plus he was very famous among girls. Jin used to be a solitary person but he was popular and sometimes some of his old friends invited him to go to the demonstrations. Jin never said no to a demonstration. Ling didn't want to admit but she was starting to feel jealous.

It was like he didn't have time for her.

Miharu's birthday allowed a new approach, because she had invited them for a party dinner in her house. Yuu was invited too.

Miharu's family didn't know how to act in Jin's presence because he was the heir of the Mishima family, though Jin said he was just a normal person like everybody else.

-So…I heard you and Ling are going to the Iron Fist…I hope you win…if you do you'll be the youngest winner ever! Did you know?-said Shinru.

-Not really…-confessed Jin.

-Are you training a new technique?

-Yes…Mishima Style was completely erased from my memory…I will not use it again! Now I have my own style!

-That's great! You're like a martial arts master! I mean, you created a new style!

-It's not that hard!

-For someone like you…you're gifted…you're a Mishima.

-Hey, Jin why don't you and Ling have a fight one of these days to see who's the best?-suggested Yuu.

-We're friends! We can't fight against eachother!-said Jin.

-Why not?-asked Ling.-That way we could practice…unless you don't have time!!!

-Of course I do!

-So? What's the problem?

-I thought you said you didn't want to fight me!?

-In the Iron Fist…this is different!

-Tomorrow?-asked Yuu.

-Sure!-said Ling.

-Fine…-said Jin.

-I'll be there!-announced Shinru.

-Me too.-added Miharu.

PHOENIX

Julia and Hwoarang were staying another week. Julia wanted to visit her grandparents in their huge property in the countryside, just outside Phoenix.

They were going to stay in the ranch for three or four days.

Lily and Frank Krey were Michelle's parents and their family was known as Blue Wings, it was their native name.

-My dad loves this place!-said Julia.-It's quiet and we have many animals, horses, bulls…I think you'll find this different! My grandparents are nice…you'll see.

When they arrived Lily and Frank were very happy to see Julia. She wasn't wrong because they were really very nice.

-Are you ok, honey?-asked Lily.-We didn't see you in such a long time!

-I'm fine grandma. I missed you all!

-Is this your friend?-asked Frank.

-Yes. His name is Hwoarang…-said Julia.

-You have a huge property Mr. Krey!-said Hwoarang.

-Yes, I know! You can call me Frank!

-Your mother was so worried about you…-Lily said looking over to Hwoarang.

Julia understood what she meant but she didn't say a word.

-We're going to do a rodeo next week!-said Frank.

-We can't stay that long, grandpa…-said Julia.

-Too bad…Hey, boy, are you Japanese? You're name sounds Korean to me…-said Frank.

-Yes, I'm South Korean…but I grew up in Japan!

-What's your technique?

-Tae-Kwon-Do…

-That's good…I like it! The Maclin are organising their tournament for tomorrow, too bad you can't enter!

-Why?-asked Hwoarang.

-Frank, why don't you take Hwoarang to see the new animals?-asked Lily.-I'll call you when it's lunch time, ok?

Frank and Hwoarang left; actually Hwoarang was almost being dragged.

-So, what do think of him, grandma?-asked Julia.

-Well he has a very interesting karma. And a complicated destiny…but he seems honest.

-Do you think I'm making the right decision, by going back with him?

-Dear…I can't say for sure! I can only say what I feel towards some people, and Hwoarang seems a nice guy…

-But you have a gift…you told Gina that she shouldn't marry Ted. If she did marry him she would be divorced by now. Thanks to your advice she met Michael.

-Do you really think I have a gift?

-Sure!

-I just think I pay a little more attention to others then the rest of you!

-Come on, grandma…

-Why don't you tell me what you feel for him?

-I'm not sure! That's why I need your help!

-I think he's very special to you…I feel that he is very strong and talented. He's brave, stubborn and very childish sometimes…

-That's true!

-What about you?

-I'm thankful for what he did for me in the past…he pulled me back to reality. But sometimes, I feel something more…

-You have to find that out! But I think he'll never let you down!

-Ok…I'm going to join them…

Julia found her grandfather and Hwoarang surrounded by six impressive black bulls.

-Oh my God! Grandpa! Get out of there!-she said.-That's dangerous!

-Take it easy honey! The bulls know me…

-Yeah, but they don't know Hwoarang. Now get out!

Hwoarang obeyed Julia's commands immediately because he was not having fun. Those animals seemed really dangerous. But Frank had a new idea.

-Do you ride, boy?

-Ride?-asked Hwoarang.-Yes…a motorcycle!

-No, I'm talking about horses!

-Horses?-he asked staring at Julia with a scared look on his face.

-Yes…come on, I'll teach you!

In the stables, Frank was choosing Hwoarang's horse.

-Grandpa!? You can't give him a wild horse!-protested Julia.

-Why not?

-Because he can get hurt!

-The horse?

-No! Hwoarang!

-Oh…ok…

Hwoarang was feeling like a guinea pig. He didn't know how to ride a horse, and he didn't want to ride a damn horse. He just wanted to return to Osaka.

-You'll take Rubi…-said Julia.-He's mine…he's not too wild…

Hwoarang didn't know if Julia was really speaking the truth because Rubi threw him to the ground in the first minute.

-You're showing some fear…the horse has to feel your security!-said Frank.

-I'm not scared!-replied Hwoarang.-I just think he doesn't like me…

-Ok…try Kale…-said Frank giving him another horse.

Kale was even worse than Rubi. That horse was really wild. When Hwoarang landed on his back again, Frank couldn't help himself and laughed.

Hwoarang tried again with no success.

-I think I broke something…-he said after that third attempt.

-No you didn't! I fell harder than that many times and I never broke a bone!

-Are you ok?-asked Julia.

-No! I think I'm not too good with horses!-Hwoarang said.

-Me too!-confessed Julia.

-Pff…Kids!-replied Frank bored.-What about lunch?

-Lunch is fine by me…-said Hwoarang getting up.

TOKYO

9th AUGUST 2011

It was almost three in the afternoon when Jin and Ling met in the park near their homes. Miharu and her three brothers were also there and so was Yuu.

But minutes later, they saw other kids arriving, ready to watch the fight.

-I thought this was going to be private…-said Jin.

-Me too.-confessed Ling.-Hey, Miharu, who are this people?

-I don't know! I haven't told anyone…and you guys?

-It wasn't me!-said Yuu.

-Or me!-said Shinru.

Miharu turned to her younger brothers.

-I only told a friend…-said Kenichi.

-I told Myiama…-confessed Riuga.-She told her sister and her sister told her friends…Geez we can't trust anyone these days!

-Riuga!!! You're an idiot!-yelled Miharu.

-HEY! Are you starting this fight or what?-asked a boy behind Yuu.

Jin and Ling took their places.

-Ready?-he asked.

-Yes.

And the fight began. Jin wasn't really fighting; he didn't want to hurt Ling.

-Why aren't you fighting, Jin?-Ling asked.

-You're not giving your best either…-replied Jin.

Ling knew she didn't have a chance against him, besides she was just fighting because she was stubborn.

On the other side, Jin knew all her techniques; he had seen her fight many times. So she knew she couldn't win, unless Jin allowed it.

-Come on! You're not fighting!-complained a girl.

-Shut up!-ordered Miharu.-No one asked you to come!

Ten minutes later everything was the same.

-Why don't you attack me? Is it because I am a girl?

-No! It's not that! This is stupid…-said Jin.

-You think I can't take you to the ground, don't you?

-I never said that!

-I'm not stronger than you but I can and I will make you fall!

-What's your problem!? We're supposed to be friends!

-I thought you were my friend too…until you started to ignore me!

-Ignore you? I'm not ignoring you…but you can't expect me to change who I am! Everyone know me here! I had friends…why can't you understand?

-You're an idiot! I don't care about that!-Ling lied.

-Then tell me what's wrong!

-Never mind!

Ling was now fighting with all her strengths. She was so angry with him, but she couldn't tell why.

-Come on, Ling…lets stop this! You're going to hurt yourself.-Jin said worried.

-I didn't know you cared about me!-she said ironically.

Jin knew she had no intention to quit that fight, so the only thing he could do was fight too, and make sure she wouldn't get hurt.

-This is boring!-said one of the girls who was watching the fight.-I think I'm going home…

When she walked away many other girls did the same. That fight wasn't turning out what they had in mind. Jin was refusing to hurt Ling.

A few minutes later Shinru went back home too. Yuu and Miharu were the only ones there. But they were bored too. Ling and Jin were arguing and the fight wasn't that interesting.

-Do you want to go to the café?-asked Miharu.

-Yeah…sure! I guess they won't miss us!-said Yuu.

-Yes…I think you're right!

Jin and Ling didn't even notice they were alone. Ling was trying to make Jin fall but he was too heavy for her.

-I have more experience…-he said.

-But you're not indestructible-Ling replied.

-But I'm heavier than you!

-So what? Do you think I'm scared?

-Stop it, Ling! Just tell me what can I do?

-Nothing!

-Why are you so angry with me? What have I done to you?

-Nothing!

Jin lost his patience. She was behaving like a little girl and he wanted to know why. He grabbed her fists when she was attacking him and pushed her to the ground. Ling lost her balance and fell.

-Lets end this once and for all!-he said moving on to the top of her, so she couldn't move.

-Let me go!-she asked.

-No! Not until you say what's going on! What have I done to deserve this?

-You haven't done anything! Now let me go!

-I thought you were happy when I came back!

Ling stopped moving and looked into his eyes. She was being very childish. Of course she was happy that he came back, but she wanted him to come back to her, and not to his old friends. In that moment she realised how stupid she had been. It wasn't Jin's fault. He was right, he couldn't change who he was.

-I can leave if you want me to…-Jin said letting her go.

-No!!! I don't want you to leave me again!-she said hugging him and blushing.

Jin was feeling very embarrassed too; no other girl had hugged him that way.

-Please don't go!-Ling begged.-I'm so sorry…I'm an idiot! I'm sorry!

-Ok…no problem!-he said getting up.

But Ling didn't let him go. She was still hugging him.

-Ling? You're suffocating me!-Jin said.

-Sorry…-she let him go immediately and looked to her feet so he wouldn't notice her red face.

-Hey…Where are the others?-Jin asked looking around.

-I don't know…

-Lets go home!

-Do you want to have dinner with us?-asked Ling.

-Yeah…sure!

-Can you forgive me?

-Yes. But lets not do this again, ok?

-Ok, it's a deal!

Ling smiled to Jin and he blushed. That hug had made him feel special, and he was happy about it. He had never been special for anybody, but he was to Ling and that was enough.

-Where are we going?-asked Hwoarang before he got in the jeep.

-To the Maclin's ranch.-said Julia.-It's just a few miles from here.

-Is it because of the tournament?

-Yes.

-You're going to enter?

-No! I'm not…but you will!

-Me? What about you?

-I can't…

-Why?

-There's a rule…no women allowed!

-Have you tried to convince them?

-Many times…I lost the track…but they said no! The winner is always a Maclin member…I need to change that! You'll win this year for my family!

-But…your grandfather said I can't enter.

-Well the tournament only allows contestants from the Native-American families in Phoenix.

-I'm not from your family…so I guess I will not be able to compete!

-I'll think of something…

-When does the tournament start?

-Tomorrow. Today is the registration day! We have one member registrated already…it's my cousin Steven. But he's an asshole! He could never win this, but I'm sure you can…

-You are stubborn! Did you know that?

-Yeah…

Julia parked her grandfather jeep outside a black gate. There were many cars there; it was obvious that many people were there for the registration.

The tournament was very popular and it was quite confusing inside.

-You stay here!-said Julia to Hwoarang.-I'm going to speak with Sean and Mick, they are the organisers.

-Miss Chang!-greeted Mick.-I'm sorry what happened to Michelle…

-Yeah…well she's hanging on…

-What can we do for you, Miss?-Sean asked.

-First call me Julia…

-Ok, Miss Julia…-joked Mick.

Sean and Mick loved to call her Miss because they knew she would get angry.

-Second I want to register…

-Sorry, women are not allowed! The rules haven't changed, Miss Chang…-said Sean.

-I know…I want to register him!-Julia pointed to Hwoarang who was waiting for her.

-Who is he?-asked Sean.-He is not a Blue Wing…

-You know that employees are not allowed…-said Mick.

-He's not an employee…he's my husband!

-What!?-asked Sean and Mick.

-Well, we are not married yet…the wedding is next week! He wants to prove me that he's the one for me…

-Really?-asked Sean still in shock.

-Yes…-Julia showed them an engagement ring. She had borrowed it from her grandmother.-Can he enter the tournament?

-What do you say Sean?-asked Mick.-Do we give him a chance?

-Why not? It's just one more contestant!

-Ok…-said Mick.-He can enter.

-Thank you guys!

-And congratulations, miss Chang!-said Sean.

Mick and Sean saw Julia joining Hwoarang and shrugged.

-Do you think he knows what he's doing?-asked Mick.

-No! If he knew he wouldn't marry her! I mean I wouldn't!-said Sean.

-She's hot…but she's too violent!

-Yeah…she's fire!

-I did it! They let you in!-Julia announced to Hwoarang.

-Really? How?

-I just spoke with them…I'll sign you in, ok?

-Fine…Finally some action!

-Congratulations, Julia!-shouted a girl who was speaking with Mick.

-Thanks!-Julia answered back.

-Ok…what's happening?-asked Hwoarang.

-Nothing…I'm going to give them your registration sheet and I'll be right back!

-What about the rules and stuff?

-I'll tell you on the way back!

Julia left Hwoarang again and when she gave Mick his registration many people approached her.

-So, Miss Chang, are you really going to marry?-asked other Maclin member.

-Yes…

-Who's he?-asked a girl.-He's very cute!

-We met in Japan…but I have to go now, ok?

-Please you have to give us some details…

-Later…-said Julia.

Julia was feeling very guilty because she had to lie, but at the same time she was having fun.

-You have a lot of fans around here!-said Hwoarang surprised.

-Yes…I guess I have…-Julia said getting in the jeep.-Come on, I'll tell the rules now.
