Meeting Fox
TOKYO
19th FEBRUARY 2012
Jin and Ling had finally stopped studying for their exams. They were tired and the most of the tests didn't go very well for the both of them. Miharu and Yuu were more positive about their marks because they had found the tests quite easy.
Miharu had tried to help them, but she was forced to give up, because when she tried to explain things, Jin and Ling were even more confused.
They would only know their marks in the next month, so now there was nothing they could do about it.
Jin was so tired that he had missed classes for two days, and it seemed that he was going to miss classes again. Ling knew he wasn't used to study so hard, but she was starting to feel a bit worried about him.
That day, she decided to speak to him. She was knocking at his door when Miharu arrived.
-We have to go, Ling…I don't want to be late!-she said.
-If he doesn't open the door…I'll break in!-Ling warned.
-What? Are you crazy? You can't do that!
-He doesn't come out in three days!
-He's tired! Let him sleep!
-No…I want to know what's wrong! You better go! Say the teachers that I'm sick…
Miharu put a questioning face and left. She didn't want to get late, besides she didn't agree with Ling's attitude.
Ling knocked Jin's door until exhaustion, but he didn't open. So she decided to force the door and finally she got in. Jin was still in bed.
-Are you sick?-she asked when she noticed he wasn't sleeping.
-No…I'm fine…go to school!
-What's wrong? Are you quitting school? Why didn't you open the door?
-I'm tired…
-Cut the crap, Jin…I know you…Now, I want the truth!
-You should be in school!
-I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what's wrong…
-I'm fine…
Ling opened the window to let the sun in, and Jin closed his eyes.
-Get up!-she ordered.
-I don't want to!
-Come on…-she said, pulling his arm.
-No…
But then she noticed a red mark on his chest, and she almost panicked.
-Are you hurt?-she asked sitting on his bed and touching his chest.
-No! I'm fine!-Jin said.
-Then what's that mark?
-Nothing…
-Don't you lie to me! I'm not blind! What the hell is happening to you? Are you in pain? Is it because of what that crazy Dr. did to you?
-I don't know!-Jin answered getting up.-I have no idea…
-But…
-It's not the same symptoms anymore…this mark appeared last night, but I didn't feel any pain…
-Maybe you got hurt in your training.
-I don't think so…I thought I was normal…but I was wrong.
-You're not thinking about leaving, are you?
-Maybe…it would be the wiser thing to do!
-NO!!! You can't!
-I don't know what's happening to me! Don't make this harder for me!
-But I'll miss you…
-Ling…I don't want to hurt you…
-Then stay!
-I can't!
-I'll follow you!-she threatened him.
-What?
-You heard me…I'll go after you!
Jin watched her while her tears rolled down her face. He had made her cry and he couldn't bare that. He was trying to fight against the wish of holding her in his arms. He was afraid of what could happen next.
He didn't know why but he was always making the others feel miserable.
-I let my mother down…and my father…and now you! I don't deserve to be here!-Jin started.
-No…you didn't let me down…but you will if you leave me!
Ling hugged him. Jin wrapped his arms around her and stood in silence.
-Say that you will not leave me!
-I won't leave you!-he said, whipping her tears.
Ling smiled and hugged him again. Then, she noticed that someone was watching them by the window, but whoever he was, he had run away.
-We were being watched…-she said.
-What?
-I saw someone…
-Who?
-I don't know!
-Are you sure?
-Yes…
Jin watched the window, why would someone be watching them? Was that a bad sign?
MYANMAR
IDAHA
20th FEBRUARY 2012
In Heihachi's mansion, in the communication room, Vik was talking to the tekken force soldier who was in Tokyo.
-I don't want to stay here anymore!-said the soldier.
-What do you mean?-Vik asked.
-I don't like this…
-You said you could handle it!
-I thought Jin was alone…but he has friends…
-You have to stay there! Mr. Mishima needs to know what's happening with his grandson.
-For how long?
-Until the Iron Fist.
-But that's in a year!
-Bad luck…
-Please, Vik, you're my brother…do something!
-Sorry!
-Jin is always with Xiaoyu…and I can't do a thing to split them up! There is something special between them that no one can ruin. Yesterday they were hugging in his room…and I have to pretend to be a friend! I hate it!
-I can't help you…I'll speak with Mr. Mishima…keep in touch.
TOKYO
-I'm happy that you're feeling better!-Ling said at lunch.
-Thanks to you…-Jin said.
-What are you talking about?-asked Yuu.
-Nothing…and leave them alone!-said Miharu. She was obviously upset with something.
-Geez…Miharu…what's wrong? Jealous?-Yuu provoked.
-Shut up!-she said leaving the cafeteria.
-Everybody is crazy!-said Yuu.-You two missed classes yesterday, Yang and Kazumi too…and Miharu is acting weird…Must be the spring coming.
TOKYO
1st MARCH 2012
March was the most beautiful month in Japan. There were cheery blossoms all over the place. The Japanese called them Sakura (cherry blossom) and they represented the eternal love. Girls loved that season because it was romantic, but boys didn't give damn to that. The cleaning teams hated it because they had to clean all the flowers on the floor.
But March also meant diversion and fun. In Tokyo everyone was preparing a huge festival that would last for two weeks.
Ling, Jin and the others could only visit the festivals at night, but it was worth it.
TOKYO
4th MARCH 2012
Julia managed to convince Hwoarang to go to Tokyo so she could see the festivals. She wanted to see more of that country. It was almost five in the afternoon when Hwoarang, Julia and Eijiro arrived.
As for Jin, Ling and Miharu, they had agreed to meet Yang, Kazumi and Yuu at seven but only Yuu showed up.
In the meanwhile, Julia and Eijiro were fighting in a café, because they wanted to go to different places. Hwoarang couldn't care less. He wasn't interested in seeing that crap, so he kept his mouth shut.
-Lets go to the rollercoaster!-suggested Eijiro.
-No!-replied Julia.
-Julia is right! I'm not going to the rollercoaster with you!-said Hwoarang.-You're afraid of your own shadow!
-Liar!-said Eijiro.
Minutes later they were entering the amusement park. Julia stopped suddenly, a pink tent that was saying «See your Future».
-Do you believe in that crap?-Hwoarang asked.
-No…Of course not! But it's just like the movies…I'm going in!
Julia entered the tent and saw a woman dressed in a man's suit. She was weird.
-You can sit down…-the woman said.-Do you have any question for me?
-Question? You were supposed to tell me my future.
-Oh…really? Why?
-What do you mean, why? You're a seer, right?
-Sort of…but you don't believe in this…you believe that only you can control your own destiny!
-Yes, but…
-The movies…you wanted to know, what someone like me would say about a girl like you…
-Well…
-Don't feel bad…but your destiny was already chosen…by you!
-What do you mean?
-You already made the most important decision in your life. Your destiny is attached to another one…And now you can't let go!
-That's it?
-Yes…What is the name of the two boys outside?
-Eijiro and Hwoarang?
-Hwoarang…he has a powerful karma. But he is not the only one…there is another one…with a karma like his! Their destinies are connected. They will meet…
Julia shrugged and left the tent.
-What did he tell you?-asked Hwoarang.
-You will get married and have four kids?-suggested Eijiro laughing.
-She said you have a powerful karma!-Julia said to Hwoarang.
-What? You asked her about me?
-No…she told me…
-Whatever!
In the meanwhile, Miharu was a bit tired. She had bought some things for her parents and her brothers and she had refused Ling, Jin and Yuu's help to carry the bags.
The amusement park was crowded and she couldn't see where she was going. Then Miharu felt someone bump into her and she almost fell.
But seconds later she realised her purse was gone. She had been robbed.
Jin saw a fifteen year old boy running away and left after him.
-Geez…I'll never see my cell phone again…-said Miharu.
-Jin will get it for you…-said Yuu helping her carrying the bags.
Ling was trying to locate Jin but it wasn't easy.
-I think they gone this way!-she said.
Hwoarang, Julia and Eijiro were going to the rollercoaster when Hwoarang saw a kid running and after him he saw Jin.
-It's Kazama!-he yelled.
-What's going on?-asked Julia.
-I don't know…Wait here!
Hwoarang left, running after Jin.
Julia and Eijiro stared at each other and followed him, or at least they tried. But then, Eijiro bumped into someone and they both fell. When he realised, Miharu was on his lap. That scene seemed familiar.
Miharu got up immediately and she blushed. Ling and Yuu stopped running and joined Miharu. Julia appeared seconds later.
-Ling?
-Julia?
The two girls hugged and started to talk. Eijiro was dizzy and he was still on the floor. He touched his head and his hand turned red. He was bleeding. Miharu panicked.
-I'm so sorry!-she said, helping him to get up.
-It's ok…it wasn't your fault!
Ling explained what was going on and they decided to look for Jin and Hwoarang.
Jin was still after the thief, but he was getting tired. That kid was faster then he thought. Besides he had to be careful not to hurt the people around him, especially the children. Hwoarang was now very close to Jin, he didn't need to ask what happened, because he was used to those situations.
A few minutes later, the young thief entered an alley near a circus tent. Unfortunately for him it was a dead alley. Jin and Hwoarang trapped him. But then they heard a noise and they saw a group of guys about their age, armed and prepared to defend the thief. They were probably his gang. The thief was preparing himself to run away but Hwoarang went after him.
Jin stayed behind, fighting with twenty armed guys. He knew he couldn't take them all.
When he started to have some problems, a blond guy entered the fight. Strangely they made a good team and they managed to knock them all out. Hwoarang was back with the thief and Miharu's purse.
-This is so gay…Kazama…a purse!?-said Hwoarang.
-It's not mine! Idiot!
-Whatever!
-Look what you did to my friends!?-the thief said.
-Shut up, you idiot! Don't you know that robbing and stealing is wrong!?-Hwoarang said hitting his head.-And the most important thing is don't get yourself caught! These kids…
-The master has spoken…-joked Jin.
-What did you say?-asked Hwoarang.
-Nothing…
-Do we call the police?
-No, please…you have your things, and I won't do it again…I promise!-said the kid.
-We better let him go…if the police arrives here, you'll probably be arrested as well!-said Jin.
-Are you trying to provoke me?
-Nope…it's all in your head!
-And you shouldn't be in a gang…you should go to school and behave…-said Hwoarang to the kid.-Now split before we change our minds!
-Whatever!-he said disappearing.
-Thanks for your help!-said Jin to the blond guy.
-You welcome! I'm Steve, and you are?
-Jin Kazama…and he's Hwoarang…
-You're a very good fighter!
-You're not too bad yourself!
-And you haven't seen me!-Hwoarang added.-Hey, Kazama what the hell are you doing in an amusement park this late? You should be in bed!
-Shut up! What about you? You should be drinking in some cheap pub! This is not your style!
-How the hell you know what is my style?
Ling, Julia and the others arrived to put an end on that fight. The girls weren't surprised to see they were arguing.
-What happened?-asked Hwoarang when he saw that Eijiro was bleeding.
-It was just an accident!-Eijiro said.
-It was my fault.-said Miharu.
-Stop saying that!-said Yuu annoyed.-It's the eleventh time you say sorry.
-I pushed him…
-It's ok! I'm not dying…
-But you're still bleeding…
-Miharu, I got your purse!-said Jin.
-YOU!?-asked Hwoarang.
-Fine…Hwoarang did! He went after that kid and left me behind…I had to fight with these guys alone! If it wasn't for…Steve, right?
-Yes…
-I would be probably dead!-finished Jin.-He's a coward!
-Say that again!-yelled Hwoarang.-I'm gonna kick your ass big time, Kazama!
-Thanks!-said Miharu blushing.
-Actually I think you two…three…make a good team!-said Julia.
-What!? No way!?-Hwoarang and Jin said at the same time.
-So…lets go to the rollercoaster?-asked Julia to Eijiro.
-No! Are you crazy?-he replied.
-I was joking…
-You better come with me…-suggested Miharu.
-Why?-Eijiro asked.
-My house is not far and we should see that cut…
-She's right!-said Julia.
-Ok…
-Do you want me to go too?-asked Yuu.
-No…you can stay here!-said Miharu.
-Ok.
-My friend knows how to defend himself and his friends!-Hwoarang said to Yuu.-Your friend is safe with him. Who wants to go to the demonstrations place?
-Now you're talking…-said Jin.
Jin and Hwoarang were trying to avoid a real confrontation since the moment they had seen each other. But it wasn't easy.
Miharu and Eijiro left too.
-Want to come?-asked Jin to Steve.
-Yes, sure!
The demonstrations' avenue was full. Jin, Hwoarang and Steve wanted to participate, but there was a lot of confusion and they would have to wait.
-It's almost ten…-complained Julia.
-Ok…who wants to start?-Hwoarang asked.-How about you lover boy?
-Me?-asked Yuu surprised.
-Can't you fight?
-Of course I can…
-Than pick one of us…
Yuu didn't want to fight, he knew that everyone in there was stronger than him, but he had no choice. Ling was faster and stronger than him; Hwoarang and Jin were out of the question; and Steve seemed quite strong too. Julia was his option.
She was pretty and she seemed ok.
-I…chose her.
Hwoarang laughed.
-She's not an easy opponent!
Julia was quite happy because he had chosen her.
-What's your technique?-she asked, going to the arena.
-Karate…with a bit of the Mishima Style. And yours?
-Shinirokugo-ken and Hakkyoku-ken.
Julia and Yuu started their demonstration.
-If this was for real, Julia would finish him in two seconds!-Hwoarang said.
-She is quite good.-said Steve surprised.-Who is she? I never thought that I would find such good fighters in Japan!
-What's your interest in her?-asked Hwoarang.
-Nothing special…I'm just surprised. The guy it's not bad at all!-Steve said.
Hwoarang paid attention to the fight and Steve was right, Yuu was better than he thought. He sure deserved some credits.
-So are you Hwoarang's girlfriend?-asked Yuu, resting.
-No…we're just friends…
-Oh…just friends…
-You seem sad about that.
-No! I just thought that you two…
-Nope…
-Ling and Miharu mentioned him once or twice, he's quite famous…
A few minutes later, Yuu and Julia were getting tired and their demonstration ended.
-Who's next?-asked Steve.
-I think we are!-said Ling. She knew that Jin and Hwoarang wanted to go together.
Steve watched Ling closely, she didn't seem to strong. But after some minutes he understood that he was wrong, completely wrong. She was the best female fighter he had ever seen, though Julia was quite good too.
-Your technique is perfect!-he said.
-Not really, but I'm training hard!
-I have to learn more about martial arts!
-Why?
-Because I'm a boxer…and I need to understand all the techniques to be the best!
Ling and Steve ended a few minutes later and Jin and Hwoarang entered the arena.
When their demonstration started, everyone noticed that they were not pretending. That was a real fight.
-What's wrong with those two?-asked Steve.
-They just missed each other!-joked Ling.
-A lot!-said Julia laughing.
-Someone is going to get hurt!-said Yuu.
Actually, Jin and Hwoarang were only checking each other skills. They didn't want to make that fight, the final bout; they were just evaluating one another.
After twenty minutes, they suddenly stopped. They agreed to call it a draw.
-You punch like a girl!-said Hwoarang.
-Look who's talking! But I admit you're faster…
-You improved your skills too…
-You worked your weak points!
-Weak points? I don't have weak points!?
-That's what you think! Your ego is growing bigger…
-Shut up!
-You just don't get it, do you?
-I may not understand…but I'm not the one that ran away from the truth.
-What are you talking about?
-You ran away like a coward! And you left Ling alone!
-I had my reasons! I almost killed you…I was afraid to hurt the three of you! That's why I left!
-You're still a man…you have feelings…stop running away from the people who love you!
-This is not about me…it's about you!
-You can't lecture me! You're just an idiot, so don't dare talking about my weak points!
-Please, people are staring at you!-said Ling.-Lets eat something…
They entered a small café. Jin and Hwoarang stopped yelling and followed them.
-So? What's wrong with those two?-asked Steve again. He was obvious curious about why they were always fighting.
-They're just childish!-Julia said.
-Why?
-Because they think they have to be enemies! Idiots!-said Ling.
-Why?
-Who knows?-Ling shrugged.
-So…you're really good fighters!-said Steve smiling.
-Thanks!-said Julia.-You too!
-I have to practice a lot to be like you!
-You're right…Jin and Hwoarang are great!-said Yuu.
They all watched Jin and Hwoarang who were looking at each other fiercely.
Then, three men in black suits walked in and approached Steve.
-So soon?-he asked consulting his watch.
-Sorry…Mr. Fox, but it's not safe for you, being here this late.-one of them said.
-Ok…Bye guys…have a nice night! Maybe we meet again.
-I hope so…-said Ling and Julia at the same time.
They watched Steve get into a Mercedes with his three bodyguards.
-The guy must be rich!–Yuu said.-Wow…a Mercedes! By the way, where the hell is Miharu?
-They must be on their way back…-said Ling.
Ling was right; Miharu and Eijiro were almost there.
-Sorry about my mother!-Miharu said embarrassed.
-That's ok…actually I was hungry…and the desert was great! She's a great cooker!
-I cooked the cake!
-Really?
-Than the credits are yours!
-Thanks! So…you're Hwoarang's best friend?
-Yeah…kind of…
-Ling said you have a gang…
-We do…The Tsunamis! But we're not that bad! Believe me!
-What do you do?
-Well we're not really thieves. People always think that way…In the beginning we had a bad reputation, but now things are different. Hwoarang is kind of hero…in Osaka, of course!
-He seems different from other leaders!
-Yeah…he's a great leader!
-What about school, and college?
-College? Some of us are still in school…the younger members are recruited at the age of sixteen…but college…no way! Though I think that Roomax could be a really good doctor if we went to a good University…he's very intelligent!
-How can you survive?
-Most of them live with their parents…the ones who don't, live at a compound near our house.
-What house?
-Hwoarang, me and other Tsunamis live there. Julia is staying with us.
When Miharu and Eijiro met the others, Hwoarang and Jin were fighting again. No one knew why, but Julia and Ling didn't want to interfere.
-Was about time!-complained Hwoarang.-Where the hell have you been?
-Sorry…my mother overreacted…she even wanted to take him to the Hospital!-said Miharu.
-Everything's ok?-asked Yuu.
-Yeah…sure.-said Miharu.
-We have to go…it's getting late!-said Julia.
-We'll meet very soon, right?-asked Ling.
-Sure…
-Next time we meet, I'm gonna kick your ass!-said Hwoarang.
-You wish!
-Lets go!-called Hwoarang.
-Bye Miharu…it was nice to see you again…-said Eijiro.
Miharu blushed and waved.
