Hey everyone! I know its been awhile since i've updated, but this traveling team soccer thing is killing my time. But not to worry i've noticed i've been slacking so im going to try and reduce the waiting time for the upcoming chapters.

Karisan- Thanks for your review last time!

Moontearz- Thank you! Crimson Destiny is awesome! TOF was about to be called Crimson Wings before I started writing it.

The green leaves off the trees were gently swaying in the wind. The clear blue skies were the perfect setting today for the opening of the tournament.

Kyo and Kaori were making their way to Osaka Center to meet up with Jin, Xiaoyu, Hwoarang, Julia, and the others.

"Are you alright.." asked Kyo, who keep taking glances at Kaori.

"Yeah, just a little nervous.." she replied looking back at him.

"Don't worry about it, you'll do fine believe me."

"Ok..how about you? How are you holding up?"

"I'm fine, i'm happy i'm the last fight today..i'm really going to show the crowd some moves." he said grinning

"What about Jin?"

"You know him, "Just be careful.. you're opponent may catch you off guard." He's serious about this.." Kyo replied immitatating Jin's voice

"Aren't you serious.. you can't take this lightly.." Kaori scolded

"I know.. I just need to win every fight they throw it me and then that's when the big action begins.."

"What do you mean?" Kaori asked confused

"Think of this Kaori... Jin..Hwoarang..Me..Steve..Kazuya.. and the Boss.. it's going to be a showdown and none of us are going to be holding anything back." Kyo said with a look of excitement in his eyes.

"Why don't you call Kazuya your father?" she asked

"Because a father wouldn't try to kill your brother or you.. and it's time for me and Jin to beat it into his skull." he replied smacking his fist in his palm.

"What about you Kaori.. have any opponents you want to face.." Kyo asked, changing the subject.

"Actually, it would be fun facing off Xiaoyu or Asuka." Kaori replied with an ignited determination in her eyes.

"That would be a pretty good match.." Kyo agreed

After their conversations ended they arrived at the Center. There, they met up with Jin and the others.

"This is it guys.. you ready.." Kyo said looking at all of them

"Hell yeah! TheSouth Korean military won't be able to save your ass this time Kazama!" Hwoarangsaid pointing at Jin

"Whatever.. you'll be grateful if I beat you in 8 minutes.." Jin replied with a smirk

"We'll see Kazama.. we'll see.."

"I'll make sure I won't beat you up too bad in the semi-finals Steve." Kyo said grinning

"Yeah right! I'll make your face intomy personal speed bag!" he replied

The crowd were going wild as the announcer came up to the stage arena.

"Welcome ladies and gents! It's time to get this tournament underway! This tournament has a lot of new faces which prove to be itimidating, my guess is that thisis going to be one hell of a battle! So let's get it started!" the announcer said as rings came rising from the ground.

"The opener will consist of cage matches, after today, the arena will be random areas. Good luck everyone!" the announcer said as he pressed a button on his microphone to reveal images of the participants fighting today.

Kaori Mitsaki vs Li-ang Po

Asuka Kazama vs Mai Sakura

Hwoarang vs Lance Seer

Jin Kazama vs Deagal Ross

Kyo Kazama vs Sean Borne

"Alright..wish me luck!" Kaori said making her way to the arena.

"Hey Kaori wait up!" Kyo said chasing after her

"What.."

"Be careful.." Kyo said giving Kaori a quick kiss on the lips

"T-thank you.." Kaori replied blushing, then turning back to the entrance

"Don't worry so much! You'll do fine!" Kyo said calling out to her

"Alright let's get the first match underway! Fighters Kaori Mitsaki and Li-ang Po get in the arena." the announcer said

"Alright.. you can do this.. you can do this.." Kaori muttered to herself as she got into the cage arena. Followed by Kaori was Li-ang, she had black hair the went down near the end of her back and was wearing a red chinese dress. Kaori stretched out, getting used to the white jacket and pants with the pink stripe on the sides that Xiaoyu had given to her the previous day (that outfit Xiaoyu has in Tekken 4).

Both fighters got in their stances and waited for the announcer to start. "Round 1..Ready...Fight!" he yelled as the two competetors ran at each other. Li-ang threw a punch at Kaori but missed as Kaori ducked an did a low sweep. The sweep caused Li-ang to fall but she quickly got up. Kaori kicked Li-ang in the stomach and tried to end it with a round house, but Li-ang caught her foot and flipped her over. As Kaori's face was about to meet the pavement, she did a handspring and got back on her feet. She ran at Li-ang and kneed her in the face causing Li to get on one knee. As she noticedher position, she ran and used Li's knee as a stepping stool and peformed a flip kick on Li-ang's faceflooring her to lose the first round.

"Kaori Mitsaki wins the first round!"

"Oh yeah! This is awesome!" Kaori said jumping up and down

"Alright! That's what i'm talking about Kaori!" Kyo said cheering her on along with the others

"Round 2.. Ready...Fight!"

Li-ang was blinded by fury as she threw sloppy punches and kicks at Kaori. She dodged them easily and countered with a strong kick in the chin. Wanting the 2nd round to end quickly Kaori used Xiaoyu's fortune cookie technique to floor Li-ang again.

"Winner of the match.. Kaori Mitsaki!"

The crowed went wild as they cheered her name. She turned and waved to the crowed with the brightest smile anyone had seen, except for Xiaoyu.

"I did it Kyo! I did it!" she said as she jumped into Kyo's arms

"I knew you could, just have confidence.." hereplied with a smile

"Next up.. Asuka Kazama and Mai Sakura!"

"Looks like it's my turn.. see you later.." she said as she made her way to the arena

"Be careful love, don't want you getting hurt.." Steve called out to her

"I'll be careful..wish me luck!" she replied as she blew Steve as kiss

"Hey Steve..are you hitting on my sister?" Kyo said pretending to glare at Steve

"Are you holding Xiaoyu's cousin around her waist?" he shot back

"Good point." he said and yelped with a surprise smack upside the head from Xiaoyu

That's it for Chapter 10. Read and Review!
