Authors' notice: We're really sorry about the looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong while we haven't updated. Of course we have really good reasons and blah blah blah... Well okay, we haven't! But we truly are sorry and we appreciate your patience. Although, coming back after so long is difficult, so we wanted to do the best we could not to disappoint you guys. And yes, if we would never end this story, we'll be really hypocrites and just hate ourselves. Anyway, it's finally time to go on with the story.

Yours sincerely,
Nadja and Maria

Xiaoyu was walking to school on a lovely Monday morning. Suddenly she saw Jin and Hwoarang also walking to school. She started running towards them and when she was close enough to reach them, she spread her arms and hugged Jin as hard and long as she could. Jin was a little amazed by all this but he hugged Xiaoyu back – don't forgot that he was a tree hugger monk these days. Normally he would have pushed Xiaoyu away and ask what was going on.

Jin: Hi my dear friend! Isn't it a lovely day today?

Hwoarang: But now we must hurry so that we won't be late from school.

Xiaoyu's face looked something between this :O and this :S You see, both of the boys were talking really calmly and acting like it, too. Xiaoyu had never seen them acting in such a strange way.

Xiaoyu: What has happen to you guys? Where have you been?

Jin: It's a little bit like that song…

Jin and Hwoarang stopped walking and started to sing together like a choir:

Where have you been

where are you going to

I wanna know what's new

I wanna go with you

Xiaoyu stared the boys very puzzled.

Xiaoyu: What? Jin! What's wrong with you!

Jin: Oh, I'm sorry. Maybe we should sing it in a different octave or maybe we could—

Xiaoyu: JIN!

Jin: What?

Xiaoyu: You've changed so much. Both of you! I mean, what happened to your bad boy -attitude, Hwoarang?

Hwoarang: Huh? What bad boy –additude? Oh please Xiaoyu, please don't remind me about those times of sin. I don't want to recall it.

Xiaoyu: What is this! Where are you coming from? I've been so worried about you Jin! I haven't seen you for a long long time from the tree in front of your bedroom.

Jin: Wha….at?

Xiaoyu: Whoops!

Xiaoyu covered her mouth with her hands.

Jin: What did you just say?

Xiaoyu: Uh… Well you know… there's a great tree where you can see straight into your bedroom... I've been there many, many times.

Jin: Have you been spying on me?

Xiaoyu: I… Of course not!

Hwoarang: I think you just revealed yourself…

Xiaoyu: No, no, no, you misunderstood it all!

Jin: Yeah, like how?

Jin's attitude was starting to change…

Xiaoyu: Well… I.. Uh... I just meant that… Okay fine! I've been spying on you, so sue me.

Jin: Good idea. I will.

Xiaoyu: No wait! But I only did it because… Because… I like you Jin.

Hwoarang: Awww! Look at her Jin. She looks so sincere. The two lost birds have finally found each other. I think I'm gonna cry!

Hwoarang sniffed.

Jin: Hwoarang! Snap out of it!

Hwoarang: But… I'm just so happy!

Jin slapped Hwoarang onto the cheek.

Hwoarang: Ow! Why the fuck did you do that for?

Hwoarang started to become very aggressive…

Xiaoyu: Er… guys? Are you OK?

Hwoarang: I… what just happened? Where am I..?

Xiaoyu: Well, if you just could be so kind and answer to that same damn question I've asked for too many times, maybe that would explain things a bit.

Jin: We were in a monastery and we just got out and… Wait a sec!

Jin & Hwoarang: MONASTERY?

Xiaoyu: Uh… right. And why were you there?

Hwoarang: That new stupid Father Confessor sent us there for bad behavior. Bad behavior my ass! Man, how long were we staying there?

Jin: Too long… WAY too long my friend.

Xiaoyu: Hmm… wonder you must've behaved pretty impropriate if Kazuya really sent you-- WHOOPS!

Hwoarang: Say what?

Xiaoyu: I… Uh…

Hwaorang: Say WHO?

Xiaoyu: Err… Nothing.

Jin: Kazuya...? DAD?

Xiaoyu mumbled something in Chinese and nervously tried to avoid the eye contact.

Hwoarang: Hey! Stop that!

Hwoarang shook Xiaoyu from her shoulders.

Jin: Xiaoyu, are you really talking about my father? I don't understand at all.

Xiaoyu: Well… yes. You see the thing is, I made a deal with your father not to reveal his real identity and in exchange he promised not to tell you about… my sneaking habits.

Xiaoyu blushed a bit.

Hwoarang: Are you telling me that I've been telling my personal issues to Jin's DAD! Oh man!

Jin: Oh no… Then that means... Damned!

Hwoarang: What?

Jin: No more money from him, that's for sure!

Hwoarang tightened his fists.

Hwoarang: Why don't we go and take a visit to your father?

Jin: yes, let's do that.

Xiaoyu: No! But he'll kill me if he founds out that I've broken our deal!

Hwoarag: So? Who cares?

Hwoarang starts to walk forward the church. Jin follows him leaving confused Xiaoyu behind.

The bright sunshine shone through the large glasses of the church. Some of the priests were gathered to admire the beauty of the sunshine, yet there was one bored priest who sat in the dark hovel trying desperately to organize his messy thoughts.

Kazuya (thinking): Okay, things are as bad as they seem. Think! Jin is at the monastery. No need to worry about him. The mess between Julia, Nina and Hwoarang is solved. No need to worry about that either. The conflict with Heihachi is over… Then again… What am I supposed to do with those damn gays… I definitely won't prepare a ceremony for them! Why am I thinking about this, this isn't MY problem! Damned…I think I'm going crazy. If there just was a way to—

Kazuya's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door opening. A woman dressed in a red dress entered the church and walked to Kazuya. A woman Kazuya immediately recognized.

Kazuya (thinking): Oh no, not again…

Anna: Hello father.

Kazuya cleared his throat.

TheFatherConfessor (Kazuya): Hello. What can I do for you?

Anna: Well, I've been thinking

TheFatherConfessor (Kazuya): Really… about what?

Anna: What you said about my boyfriend. Maybe you're right, maybe I really should break up with him.

TheFatherConfessor (Kazuya): Oh… Yes. Well, I'm glad that you've come to your senses.

Anna: Yes, I can't stand Lei anymore…

Anna (thinking): Oh no… Did I just say Lei..?

TheFatherConfessor (Kazuya): Lei?

Anna, thinking: Of course not.

Anna: I umm… I said Lee. You heard me incorrect.

Kazuya took a deep breath.

TheFatherConfessor (Kazuya): Anna's an eternal cheater….

Anna: But that wasn't why I came here. There have happened some strange things at home.

TheFatherConfessor (Kazuya): What do you mean?

Anna: Well, my sister Nina…

TheFatherConfessor (Kazuya, thinking): Oh no… What has she done NOW?

Anna: She won a beauty competition. Can you believe it! Nina! And I'm so much prettier than her!

TheFatherConfessor (Kazuya, thinking): OK, no worries Kazuya. There's no problem this time.

Anna: I would have won it if I had participated, or don't you think?

TheFatherConfessor (Kazuya): Err… Of course.

Anna: Well, anyway, she won ten million from that stupid competition. And now…

TheFatherConfessor (Kazuya): Now what?

Anna: Someone has robbed all the money!

TheFatherConfessor (Kazuya, mumbles): What! Oh my God… Now I'm in trouble... No worries, right!

Anna: What did you say?

TheFatherConfessor (Kazuya): Err… I said that I'm sorry for her. It isn't nice to lose so much money, is it?

Anna: I guess so… but there's more…

TheFatherConfessor (Kazuya): What? That wasn't all?

With that Kazuya saw Jin, Hwoarang and Xiaoyu walking to the church. They all looked really angry, and Kazuya wanted to get out of there as soon as he could…..
