I don't own Tekken.
The Wish Of Night: Hi! I think that the last chapter was a bit boring, but I'm glad that you didn't find it that way! It's ok about your review, sometimes this site acts like this! Anyway have a great time in London! :D I'm SO glad that I cheer up your days!!! Thank you so much for saying that!
Shadowsin: The thing that I love the most in Hwoarang is his bad-boy attitude!!! :P About Jin and Hwoarang, they are friends in a very special way, but things will be complicated in chapter 42 and so on (it will be a test to their "friendship") but you'll have to wait until then…sorry… :D Thank you very much for reviewing.
Lady-Eliwen: Hi…I don't know why, but when I think that the chapters are boring, everyone thinks that they're great!? :P :P :P Anyway thank you so much and I don't have a clue what you mean by hectic and more routine!? :C Maybe we should talk one of these days…so you can explain… :P See ya…
Lonelyngel: You also thought that this chapter was cool??? Wow…Maybe it's me…Anyway thanks and I'm going to tell you something, when I first started to write this fic I was about 16 or 17 years old, and I simply loved Jin. He was my favourite character from all times!!! But then there was Hwoarang and honestly I don't know who I prefer!!! :P :P :P I guess that now I love every single character that I make, even Eijiro, Roomax and so on!!! I'll stop blabbing now…sorry. See ya.
Kawaiiheat: First of all thank you so much for reviewing and answering. Well I guess we have a lot in common too, because I love Hwoarang too (I can decide who's my favourite character, him or Jin :D) but I have a lot in common with Julia (I'm also in the University and sometimes my friends call me a nerd, because I'm always at home studying!), I also have brown hair and brown eyes…I agree with you about Xiaoyu, but I find her cute, and I also tried to change a bit of her character (you probably noticed that). My favourite characters are definitely Julia, Hwoarang, Jin and Ling! There will be more Julia/Hwoarang moments, don't worry! For now enjoy the chapter, and thank you!
Hiding Feelings and Betrayals
HOKKAIDO
15th JULY 2012
Kazuya had finished some testes with Kira in the labs. Lee was in his Office. He was spending some time investigating what had happened to Jin, because he wanted to know if Jin was able to control the Devil gene. Minutes later he decided to provoke Kazuya.
-Hey, brother…your son is just like you…-he said with a picture of Jin that he had taken from the Mishima School archives.
Kazuya didn't answer. He knew what Lee was doing.
-Jin is still in school, which means that he doesn't take after me…-said Lee.-If he was like his uncle he would be the most intelligent student! I guess he just like his father!
-Where did you get that?-asked Kazuya.
-From his school! But guess what? He is the best martial arts fighter!
-What's your point, Chaolan?
-Your son is important for us…at least for ours plans! Remember?
-Yeah…so?
-It would be easier if you went to see him and told him what we are doing!
-And what's that?
-You know…to control the Devil gene…
-Chaolan, you will only study the Devil gene…it's will be me who is going to control it!
-Yes, I know…Anyway I just wanted to know more about my nephew…By the way, did you know that he was in China?
-China?
-Yes, with a girl…you have to be careful, Kazuya…one of these days you might discover that you're a granddad…
-Jin is not that stupid!
-He's a man…like you, Kazuya! Meaning he has his weak moments!
-I hate you Chaolan!
-I know…but we are stuck together…oh, and you want to know more?
-What?
-Dr. Boskonovitch is alive and he's still studying the Devil gene as well. It seems that he didn't need Heihachi to continue his research.
-He has my profile and my data…probably he has Jin's too, which means he can continue to study the Devil gene…
-At least we know that the information he has is limited…
-I'm going to have a break!-announce Kazuya.
-Again?
-I'm sick of this place! I'm going to practice away from here!
-Why?
-Because I want to!
-Fine…-Lee said throwing Jin's picture to the garbage and living.-Just let me know when you're back.
Kazuya looked to the picture and kept it. When he was packing a small bag with his clothes, he watched his son in that photo.
It was true, Jin had his hair and his eyes, but he also looked like Jun.
Kazuya left Hokkaido that same day. He had decided to participate in the Iron Fist. Heihachi was dead and Jin was probably recovering from the last one. But anyway he would have to hide his true identity.
EAST-OSAKA
16th JULY 2012
The Tsunamis were having a few problems since Hwoarang was in South Korea. They had to face leaders from gangs around Osaka, because everyone was thinking that Hwoarang was gone for good. The Vipers and the Silvergods had already tried, but Ryo, One, Soni and the others managed to win and now things were getting back to normal.
Eijiro was at home finally. Roomax and Julia were taking good care of him.
In that morning, the house was invaded by four girls, wearing black and with a funny attitude.
Mouse, Roomax, One, Eijiro and Ryo joined Julia in the living room to know what was happening.
-I'm Mameisa…I'm the Wasps leader…from Nagano. Where is Hwoarang?
-He's not here!-said Julia.-Why?
-Two years ago he promised me we would join our groups as one!
-What?-asked Eijiro.
-You have to be joking!-said Ryo.
-I'm not! He said we would do that as soon as I was eighteen…
-That's a lie!-said Mouse.
-Are you calling me a liar?
-Easy, Mouse…-said Eijiro.-I think I remember you…
-Good…
-We went to Nagano a few years ago, and I remember that we did stay with the Wasps…but Hwoarang never mentioned that promise!
-Hwoarang didn't tell you that because there's another business…Misia come here…-Mameisa called.
A little red hair girl, with about two years old appeared.
-This is Misia. Hwoarang's daughter!
-What!?-everyone asked.
-That's impossible!!!-said Eijiro.
-I'm going to stay here until he comes back…-announced Mameisa.
-Here?-asked Roomax.-But this is our house.
-And it's going to be mine too…
-Hwoarang is out of the country!-said One.
-I don't care…I've got time…plenty of time!
-Hwoarang never told me about you!-said Julia, who was still in shock.
-Guys will always be guys, honey! He had some fun with you, but with me was different…we have a child and he has to assume his responsibilities! Sorry!
-Why now?-Julia asked holding her tears.
-Well, I'm eighteen now…so it's the perfect time to meet his daughter and to join our groups!
Julia turned her back and went to her room. She started packing and she was going to leave the room when Eijiro opened the door.
-Where are you going?
-Home! I have to go away!
-You can't!
-Watch me!
-Julia…maybe she's lying!
-What? You said you remembered her! And the kid…she is red hair!
-Mameisa has red hair! Come on…all the red hairs are similar! Hwoarang may not be the father! Just wait until he arrives, ok?
-What if it's true?
-If it's true…we both kill him! Ok? But I can tell you that he didn't show any interest on Mameisa when we were in Nagano.
-How could he do this!?
-Lets wait and see…just take it easy…
SOUTH KOREA
SEOUL
26th JULY 2012
Hwoarang was called again to speak with the General Hon Song. During the last week things had been pretty nasty because he had almost shot Major Hing Tao accidentally. No one believed him when he said that it had been just an accident.
Probably he was going to be punished again, but when he entered the office, he saw many senior officers standing there.
He didn't know what was going on. He couldn't believe that all those guys were there just to punish him. Major Hing Tao, the General Hon Song and Colonel Shui were among them.
-You are the most arrogant soldier in this Headquarters!-said General Hon Song.-You have been punished more than fifty times in only three months!
-He thinks he's just a smart ass!-said Colonel Shui.
-But…we weren't expecting anything different from you!-said a man, Major Rang.
-I…said sorry…I didn't mean to aim the gun to Major Hing Tao.
-That's not the reason why we called you.-said the General.-This Headquarters board decided to promote you! You're a sergeant now…
-What? Come again…A sergeant!? You must be joking!
-You're not a regular soldier! You have a natural talent! Colonel Shui said you are his best sniper!
-I'm an arrogant ass, remember? I can't be promoted!
-We are giving you a chance to make a career!-said Major Rang.-You have all the qualities and we weren't expecting less from the General Hwoarang's son!
-Oh…that's it!-said Hwoarang getting up.-You're promoting me because my father was one of you!!! You know what? I don't want a fuckin' promoting! I don't want to be a sergeant! You are wasting your time with me! I just want to get out of this place!
-Are you serious, boy?-asked the General.-You are giving this away, and you should be proud of your father! He was a legend!
-Proud!? You want me to be proud of a man who left me in a foreign country when I was just a baby? He abandoned his own son!
Hwoarang left the office. He couldn't believe what had just happened. When he was going back to the fields, Colonel Shui called him.
-There is no doubt that you are Kim-So child! It's like you are twins! But you're more of a man that he was!-he said.
-You didn't like him, did you?
-Not much…he stole my promotion. I was the only one to see him how he really was. But he was the Marshal Sun Lee favourite, and a legend. I knew something like this would happen…
-What do you mean?
-I mean you! The reason why you were born, of course! He was always in troubles and the Marshal was always saving his ass. You and your mother were victims…
-Does that mean that you love me too?-joked Hwoarang.
-No way, kid! I'm just saying that you did well by refusing that promotion!
-Was he a sniper too?
-No, he was the best sniper! His death is still a mystery.
-Well, anyway, between me and him there is only our blood in common…nothing else!
JAPAN
KYUSHU
27th JULY 2012
Jin and Ling had arrived to Yamagawa, in Kyushu, the little town where Jin had grown up.
Now things were different, the town was that small anymore. Yamagawa was near the coast, so it had many beautiful beaches. During the summer the beaches were always full, especially with tourists. Jin and Ling were staying in a small hotel just by the beach. The view was fabulous, and they could use the beach to practice.
After taking Ling to his old house, which was now for sale, Jin stopped for a while, watching the house and the surroundings.
-I wonder what happened to the boy who was living here…-he said sadly.
-You met him?
-Yes. I mean sort of. I came here and I met a little boy. He was sick, very sick. I think he was dying…he was German.
-We could ask in the town.
-Yes…By the way, there is a festival coming up soon…actually I think it starts today!
-Really?
-Can we go?
-Sure…but just for a while…I mean I don't appreciate this much…
-Oh, Jin…come on! We're on holidays!
When Jin and Ling left to the centre of Yamagawa, a man showed up from behind the trees. It was Kazuya. He almost met Jin, but none of them had noticed each other.
Kazuya watched the house where he and Jun had been really happy. He would give anything to change the past and to bring her back, but he knew it was impossible. Now things were different, he was alive, and he had a son who he hardly knew. Besides, the only thing that matter was to control the Devil gene.
When the moon appeared in the night sky, Yamagawa was suddenly filled with lights and colours. The streets were crowded.
-Look! I love those kimonos…-said Ling.-I think I going to buy one!
-Well…then go and chose one!
-Come with me!
-What for?
-To help me chose…
-But I don't know anything about fashion and stuff…
Ling refused to hear him complaining and pulled his arm. She dragged him and they stood there choosing a kimono for almost a half an hour.
-Which one? The green and gold or the blue and yellow?-she asked.
-I don't know…
-Which one do you prefer?
-I like them both…
-Me too.
-Please just choose one…
-Ok, the green.
After that, Ling went back to the hotel and she returned several minutes later with her new kimono. Jin was speechless. How could a girl be so beautiful? Why couldn't he just be free from his stupid gene and live a normal life?
Soon Jin got rid of those thoughts and had a good time. Yamagawa was a place where he felt safe.
KYUSHU
YAMAGAWA
29th JULY 2012
After two days in Yamagawa, Ling and Jin were having a nice time in the town.
Things were quiet, very different from Tokyo. Jin saw some people who he used to know, but his old friends weren't there. Jin knew that the majority were probably in the University.
But there was something upsetting him, he wanted to know what had happened to the boy who was living in his house. So Jin and Ling were heading to the company that had his house for sale and ask some information.
The young man was really helpful, though Jin had noticed he was always looking at Ling.
-What's wrong Jin? You seem angry!-Ling said when they left the building.
-I'm not angry…but that guy had some nerves…
-I think was very nice and polite!
-Nice and polite…you women are all the same…
-If I didn't know better, I would say you're jealous.
-Lets just go…-Jin said trying to change the subject, because he didn't want to deal with those feelings when he knew that he almost ruined everything with a single kiss.
Jin's house was silent when they both arrived.
-The guy said that we could get inside…-Ling said.
-Yes I know…I just need to look at it! I was happy in here…once. I remembered something…
-What?
-When I was in primary school I had a friend…his name was Masaki. He was so shy and quiet, very different from Heydo…
-What happened?
-Heydo was a violent kid, he was always picking on Masaki, and so I defended Masaki once. I knew martial arts and I won.
In that moment Kazuya was near by and he heard some voices. There was a voice that it sounded so familiar. He wanted to go away, but he couldn't, he was curious, he wanted to know who was speaking.
Kazuya approached the house and he saw someone standing there. It was a boy and a girl.
Behind a tree he recognised his son. After twelve years he was finally seeing his son. He couldn't describe what he was feeling, it was something new. He could see himself, when he was young, in Jin. The last time he had seen Jin, he was just a kid, a ten year old boy, but now, Jin was so tall and strong.
But then Kazuya came back to reality. Jin couldn't see him, he was supposed to be dead and he couldn't risk to be found.
He forced himself to look to the floor, to avoid looking at Jin. Kazuya was going away when he heard his son's words, and stopped again.
-Heydo hated me for being stronger. He was always trying to humiliate me…and he was always successful.
-How?-asked Ling.
-He used my father to do that!
-Your father?
-My father was never with me and my mother. Heydo was always saying that my father was a coward and that he didn't love me and my mum. I used to be pretty furious with him when he was saying that, but now…maybe he was right…
-Don't say that! I'm sure that your father had his reasons…he loved you and your mother…
-Then why was he always running away from us? Why? Sometimes I didn't see him for months! He never said that he was proud of me…
-I don't know what happened…but he never abandoned you…I mean not for real!
-But he was never here! It was the same thing…
Kazuya was still hiding. He looked at his son and then he noticed Ling. She was defending him and she didn't even know him. She reminded him Jun, always giving excuses for him, always believing in everyone.
-Just let it go, Jin…
-Yeah…I will…after all he's not here anymore, is he?
-Lets get in…
Kazuya watched them opening the door, and left. Jin was disappointed him, and he had his reasons. He had been a lousy father.
In the meanwhile Jin and Ling were watching a painting on the wall.
-Mika died…-Jin said.
-The boy…right?
-Yes…I told him to paint, because he said that he was really good at it!
-Well, I guess he was…look at this! It's beautiful!
Jin took the painting and saw that in the back was something written in German.
-Für Jin, meinem Freund.-Jin read.
-It's about you…
-Yes. I think it means, For Jin, my friend. My mother is watching for him…I know she is!
TOKYO
22nd AUGUST 2012
Hwoarang's flight had just landed in Japan. He was finally free from the Army. And he couldn't wait to see his friends again. He hadn't left the Headquarters since Julia was there, because he had been punished almost every week.
One week before he had sent a letter to Julia, saying when he was arriving. When he left the airport he saw Eijiro waiting for him.
-Eijiro!-he yelled.-Are you alright?
-Yes…But please, spare me the hug!
-Fine! So…are you really feeling ok?
-Yes…I'm sure. I'm recovering pretty well, and it's been three months, remember?
-Of course I remember! Where are the others?
-Ok…we need to talk!
-What is it?
-Only I know you arrived today!
-Why?
-Because things are not well around here. I need you tell the truth!
Eijiro explained everything to Hwoarang, who just couldn't believe.
-Is Julia upset?-he asked.
-Upset?! I don't think that's the right word to describe her!
-Great…just great…Lets go!
In the meanwhile Mameisa was trying to establish a conversation with Julia for the first time.
-Hi…-she said.-You're Julia, right?
-Yes.
-I want to thank you…you let us stay in your room!
Julia didn't answer. She didn't want to speak with that girl, but she knew that she didn't have a choice.
-I heard that you are studying in the University…-Mameisa continued.-Are you and Hwoarang together?
Julia didn't answer again.
-If you are an intelligent girl, I think you know that Hwoarang will not be able to stay with you!
-Why not?
-He has me and Misia. There is no place for you in here. Don't you think you should go home? There's still time for you, you can find someone better than him…
After all, what is a girl like you doing in a place like this!?
-Don't worry about me…I'll be just fine…
Julia left Mameisa and went to her room, which was Hwoarang's room. She almost started crying. Why did that girl have to appear? She couldn't bare the idea that Hwoarang had been with her. She felt betrayed and humiliated. How did he dare to kiss her after getting another girl pregnant? She was cursing him when she heard the door and then a huge noise.
Hwoarang was back, at last.
Roomax and Mouse were already with Hwoarang. Julia got his bags and left the room. She arrived just in time to see Mameisa hugging Hwoarang.
Hwoarang pushed her away.
-I'm so glad that you are back!-Mameisa said.-We need to talk and I want you to meet someone. Misia!
Everyone watched the little girl join her mother.
-This is Misia…our daughter!
-I'm sorry but that is not true!-Hwoarang said calmly.
-Are you calling me a liar!?
-Yes…I am…
-Look at her! She has your eyes and your hair…she's your daughter! We were together in Nagano. That night you promised me to unite our groups when I was eighteen!
-It was a joke!
-Than you're the liar! We slept together! You can't deny that!
-Fine…I slept with you!
Julia was in shock when she heard that. She grabbed her bags and walked to the door. She couldn't take that anymore. Eijiro hold her arm.
-Stay…he didn't finish yet!-he said.
-We slept in the same room! Nothing happened! You know that!
-What? How can you tell, you were drunk!
-I wasn't that drunk Believe me! But you were! You passed out! Besides you were just a kid!
-You are lying!
-You are! But we can go to the Hospital and do a test!
-Test?
-To check if I'm the father! Then we'll see who is lying!
Mameisa didn't know what to do. She couldn't believe that he was denying everything.
Julia realised that Mameisa had been lying all that time. And she had doubted Hwoarang.
Mameisa left the house running. Lehan, the Wasps member that was with her, was going to follow her leader, but Hwoarang stopped her.
-I'll speak with her.-he said.
-I guess you have the right to know…-Lehan said.-I'll go pack our things…
Hwoarang joined Mameisa outside. He wanted to know why she had lied.
-I almost ruined your life!-she said.
-I want to know why?
-You hate me, don't you?
-No…but tell me why…
-My boyfriend left me before Misia was born…and the Wasps are over since that day!
-What do you mean?
-There are only eleven of us! They don't respect me anymore! I don't have the power to put things right again…
-So you needed someone to give you power and to become Misia's father…And I was the first in your list!
-Yes…
-Sorry, but I can't be responsible for something that it's not true!
-I know…
-That promise was a stupid joke! I never thought about joining our groups…I'm sorry.
-I knew that in a certain way…But I had to try this! I just have to face the reality! The Wasps are gone…and I'm alone! Besides I'm a lousy mother to my child!
-If you're not able to take care of her you should give her for adoption!
-Give her away?
-Yes…do you have anyone else?
-My parents will take me back if I quit the gang…but I don't want to ask for their help!
-Maybe you should! Misia is more important than a gang…isn't she?
-I guess she is…
-Good luck…
Minutes later Hwoarang entered the house and announced they Mameisa was going back to Nagano. The Tsunamis sighed in relief.
-Is everything ok?-Hwoarang asked.
-Sure. I knew she was lying!-said Roomax.
-Me too!-said One and Ryo.
-I think you should go talk with Julia…she is back in her bedroom…-suggested Eijiro.
Hwoarang took his advice.
-Hey…are you ok?-he asked.
-Yes…
-So…you were leaving us?
-I…guess if you were that kid's father I would leave! I mean…the house would be crowded…
-I understand…but she was lying…I never slept with her and this was all a scheme!
-I know that…
-You're not angry, are you?
-No…why should I be angry?
-Great…Because we need to celebrate…I was locked up in that Headquarters for too long!
-No days off?
-Nope…but I spent a week in jail…
-Now you're back…but how was it? Almost being a father?
-Very funny!
-I guess you don't want to have kids!
-It depends…
-On what?
-On who's the mother…-Hwoarang looked at her, and Julia blushed.-Will you join us tonight to celebrate?
-Yes…I will!
Hwoarang left and Julia stood there watching the door close. She started unpacking and suddenly she stopped when she thought about something. Did he just say that he didn't mind her to be his kids' mother?
Julia laid down on the bed and focused for a moment. That idea didn't scar or revolt her. Did that mean that she didn't mind to have his child? Geez things were really getting complicated.
