Hey everyone! Sorry for not updating my story in a while, I had a lot of things to do since soccer practice for traveling team began. But don't worry because in my free time i'll try to update as much as possible! I know I haven't started the tournament yet but i'll get there soon!

MooNTeARZ- Your story is awesome! Update soon!

Karisan-Karisan- Please update soon! Your story is great and it's cool that Hwoarang didn't take advantage over Julia when she was drunk!

'Ah man! I'm stupid! What was I thinking!' Kyo thought, mentally kicking himself

"Uhh..Kyo?" asked a red faced Kaori who snapped him out of his thoughts

"W-what?"

"Did you just say, that i'm beautiful?" she asked looking at him

'Come on! Say it! What would Jin do if he was in my place?' Kyo thought imagining his older brother in the situation. An image came into his mind of Jin and Xiaoyu in their situation.

-------------------------------------------------

"I love you Xiao.." Jin said kneeling down on one knee

"I love you too Jin.." Xiaoyu replied

Jin goes through his pockets and pulls out a small velvet box.

"Will you marry me Xiao?" Jin asked hopefully

"Yes!" she replied leaping into his arms

--------------------------------------------------

'Damn it Jin! Why are you the smooth type! Alright, what would Hwoarang do?'

------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey Jules.. how about we go back to my place and have some fun.." Hwoarang said as he winked at Julia.

"Why go there while we can do it here!" she replied throwing him on the table and begin their war of tongue twisting.

--------------------------------------------------

'Screw that i'll just do it my own way..' Kyo throught

"Yeah..I did.." Kyo said smiling and scratching the back of his head

Kaori smiled in return and whispered in his left ear

"Well, I think you're pretty cute.."

'That worked well..Bingo!' Kyo throught

--------------------------------------------------

The day was still early and clouds had gathered around the area. Down at the park were two figures walking, hand in hand.

"What do you want to do? I'm bored" complained Julia

"Don't know..." Hwoarang said moving a piece of hair from Julia's face with his free hand

"How about we go spy on Kaori and Kyo?" Julia said looking at Hwoarang

"I thought you were the type of person that would leave that personal stuff alone.."

"In most cases I would, but this would be fun and entertaining!" Julia said smiling widely

"I don't know Jules.. what if we're caught?"

"Pleeaase Hwoarang..if you do, i'll be in just a towel tonight.."

"You know what, we should go spy on Kaori and Kyo." Hwoarang suggested grinning

-----------------------------------------------

"Hey i'm bored!" whined Xiaoyu

"That's a first.." Jin mumbled rubbing his chest from the twisting incident

POW

Xiaoyu tackled Jin to the floor and started tickling him

"Hahaha! Stop! Hahah!" Jin pleaded

"Fine, just becuase i'm feeling generous.." Xiaoyu said starting to get up

"Ahahah! Jin! No fair! Ahahah!" Xiaoyu squealed as she was raided with tickles

"Whoa Jin! Man I knew you were agressive in fighting, but the ladies too, that's impressive!" said a grinning Hwoarang leaning on the door way

"What do you want red head.." Jinasked grinning

"Well Julia and I were going to go spy on your little brother and Xiao's cousin. We wanted to know if you two wanted to join us.."

"That would be fun!" Xiao said jumping up and running to Julia

"I don't know, that's kind of wrong to be interfering with thier personal lives.." Jin argued

"That's what Hwoarang said..but come on Jin! It will be fun, trust me!" Julia replied

"Fine.. let me get my jacket.."

-------------------------------------

At the park, Kyo and Kaori were walking aimlessly looking at the various activities people were doing. Their walking was stopped as Kyo saw a huge tree.

"Lets climb that!" Kyo said running towards it. He jumped high to one branch and catapulted to another with a backflip. He looked down to see Kaori standing there looking up.

"Come on Kaori.." Kyo said smiling

" I can't..this shirt is expensive!" she said pointing to it

"Fine, give me your hand.." he suggested lowering it

She took his hand and he replied by starting to pull her up. When she finally got up, both were exausted and gasping for air. For her comfort she laid her back against his chest. Kyo noticed this with his face turning red, but tried to ignore it. He gain more comfort by laying his back against the main trunk of the tree and pull Kaori closer to him. She could feel his heartbeat on her back causing to blush.

"For body heat..since its cold.." Kyo explained not to give Kaori the wrong idea

"Either way.. I wouldn't mind.."

She felt a pair of cold hands skim across hers so she held them

"Your hands are cold.."

"Yeah..it's getting pretty cold out here.."

"Hey Kyo..."

"Yeah.."

"Did you mean what you said at the cafe? About me being beautiful.."

"Yes.."

"Thank you..no one ever told me that.."

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah, back at my highschool, people did think I was beautiful, but thought I was one of those girls who would sleep with any guy I wanted to. I'm not like that, but people always thought that."

"I'm sorry.."

"Don't be.. I'm happy that you're not like the rest of them..you're special.."

"Special?"

"Yeah..you know how to treat a girl right.. I like that.."

"Well I just think that girls should be cared for, you know?"

"Well make sure no girl takes you because your mine.." Kaori said latching onto him

"A-alright.." Kyo said while blushing

------------------------------------------

"That's so cute!" Xiaoyu and Julia said wiping tears from their eyes

"Yeah Kyo you sly dog!" Hwoarang said laughing his ass off

"You're horrible Hwoarang!" Julia said getting in a few laughs as well

"Who would of thought of my cousin and your brother getting together?" Xiao asked surprised

"It must be that o'l kazama charm.." Jin said grinning

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's it for chapter 8! I just wanted to get most of the pairings out of the way so I can start writing about the tournament! I will also be focusing on Asuka more since I noticed that I don't write much about her. Read and review!!
