A/N: Alas, the school holidays are gonna end soon so I mite not update as much as I usually do (which is everyday :P) but do keep on reading this! I'm not sure if the juggle that Kazuya does actually works but you could try it out and let me know. If you don't know the moves, its that 4 hit combo he does that's sorta like Jin's kazama style 5 hit combo, then spinning demon, flash punch combo and tsunami kick. The juggle that Xiaoyu did does work, its one of my made up ones. You can try it if you want. First its that backflip (dunno the name), then you do Bayonet Mctwist to reverse stance, then triangle and square (not together) and finish it with fortune.
Answer to MooNTeaRZ: Yes, I will now spell your name right! Anyways, thanks for reviewing my 10th chappie, it'd be cool to know what you think of the 11th chappie and its cool that you forgive me :P lol and I normally do chek back pretty much everyday so I'll be on the lookout 4 ur story.
I've droned on long enough so now to get on with the story…oh, and I tweaked the fight scene a little bit last chappie so you can chek it out if you want.
Chapter 12: Three down, two to go
Xiaoyu arrived back at the Mishima hotel, covered in scratches and bruises due to Kazuya dragging her like a rag doll. She limped towards Hwoarang and Julia who were talking in the lobby. "Hey guys." Xiaoyu said, her voice still a little bit raspy. "Xiao! What the hell did he do to you!" Hwoarang exclaimed when he saw Xiaoyu's state. Julia gasped and covered her mouth with one hand. "Oh my god! Are you alright?" "Just got beaten by Kazuya." Xiaoyu said casually, clearing her throat. "You sure the guy didn't get a pole or anything?" Hwoarang asked. Xiaoyu giggled. "Don't be silly, Hwoarang. He was just too good." Xiaoyu said simply, yet again keeping another secret from her friends. After this, Julia noticed that Xiaoyu was feeling a little shaken. "Is everything alright, Xiao?" The concerned Julia asked. "What? No, everything's fine…" Xiaoyu said in her usually unconvincing tone. "Xiao, what did I tell you last time?" Hwoarang asked sternly. "I'm not hiding anything, he just beat me up kinda bad." Xiaoyu said, trying to shake them off the issue. "Xiao, please. You're a bad liar." Julia said. Xiaoyu brought her gaze to the ground, weighing her options. If I tell them what he almost did, I know Hwoarang would go all crazy and definitely ask Kazuya for a fight, like his big headed self always does…if I don't, these guys will keep pestering me until I tell them…guess there's only one thing to do.
Xiaoyu brought her gaze from the ground and to her friends. " Hwoarang, you've gotta promise me not to do anything about it when I tell you." Xiaoyu said. "Now that is definitely a promise I definitely can't make." Hwoarang said, suspecting something big was about to hit him in the face. "If you don't, she won't tell us because she knows that you're going to make a big deal out of it." Julia said to Hwoarang. "Alright fine, I won't do anything, I promise." After he said that, he started mumbling stuff under his breath. Xiaoyu took a deep breath. "After the match, Kazuya grabbed me by the wrist, dragged me across the ground and held me over the edge of the building." Xiaoyu closed her eyes tightly, expecting Hwoarang to go absolutely crazy. "Thatidiot almost killed you! When I get my hands on him –"
"You promised you wouldn't do anything!"
It fell silent in the group for a few minutes. "Did you know why he was going to kill you?" Julia asked, breaking the silence. "He said something about doing to me what I did to him thirty seven years ago." Xiaoyu said, having the words played back over and over again. "Thirty seven years! That's way before you were born." Julia said, trying to think of a logical reason why Kazuya said this. "I knew that guy was a little bit crazy." Hwoarang said. "Well, whatever that means, one thing's for sure, I've been kicked out of the tournament." Xiaoyu said glumly. "Don't worry bout it. You're not alone. Hwoarang is obviously the better fighter out of us two." Julia said. "Well, you put up quite a fight, Jules." Hwoarang said, wearing his trademark smirk. "I guess I've gotta go back to America empty handed." Julia said sadly and gave a deep sigh. All of a sudden, Xiaoyu's eyes lit up. "Jules! You can come stay with me at my apartment!" Xiaoyu exclaimed. "Are you sure that's ok with you, Xiao?" Julia asked. "Of course it's ok! You and I are gonna have heaps of fun bring flatmates! We could rent loads of DVD's and have a marathon!" Xiaoyu shouted with more enthusiasm than the last, concocting all kinds of things they could do in her mind. "That's really nice of you, Xiao. Thanks." Julia said, wearing an appreciative smile. "The best thing is that we could now go cheer on Hwoarang." Julia said.
After a few more minutes of talking, Asuka burst through the hotel doors. "I beat him! I've finally brought justice to my father!" Asuka exclaimed. "Glad you made it through, Asuka. It's the end of the line for me and Jules." Xiaoyu said her excitement for Julia coming to stay at her apartment overrode the fact that she couldn't get the time machine built. "Oh, that must stink." Asuka said, feeling really stupid that she had gone crazy with excitement for making it through when two of her friends didn't. "No worries, Jules is gonna come stay with me. It's gonna be so fun!" Xiaoyu exclaimed. "Well, I'm glad you're happy." Asuka said. "Well, we gotta go get out stuff packed. Tell us when your matches are tomorrow and we'll come and support you, ok?" Julia said. "Sure thing." Hwoarang said. "Alright, lets go." Xiaoyu said as the two made their way to the elevator to get their things packed.
A/N: yes, I always seem to rush the endings and I am sooooo terribly sorry for that…..I dunno, its becoming a habit! ARGH! I'll try to correct my ways next chapter tho.Hwoarang was originally going to use quite a colourful vocabularywhen Xiaoyu tells him boutKazuya but I then remembered thatthisfic is rated K plus so I cudn't usethemHope you liked it and REVIEW!
