A/N: I noticed that I forgot to disclaim Tekken in the past chapter, so here it is:

No Goodbyes

Chapter Two: A New Beginning

The next day, Julia decided to ask her father something. Something she'd been meaning to ask for a long time. "Um, father, can I travel to Japan?"

"Japan? What for?"

"To find mother"

"But you know what happened to her, Julia"

"Yes. She was kidnapped by that wretched Heihachi Mishima," Julia explained "that is why I have to find her and seek revenge"

"I will not allow you to go. It will be a big risk"

"But Father, I have to find her. Let me choose my destiny for once, please"

Julia's father sighed "Because I trust you, I will allow you to go."

"Oh, thank you! I shall leave tomorrow..." She embraced her father thankfully.

The following day, Julia got up early. She quickly changed into a blue shirt and white skirt, then got all her stuff and headed for the front door. "Goodbye, father" she called out.

"Goodbye, Julia. Remember, I trust you" her father replied. She hailed a cab and got in.

"To the airport"

"Yes, ma'am" They reached the airport in no time. Julia gave some money to the cab driver and went in. After a few hours of waiting, there was an announcement that the plane to Japan was ready. Julia took one last look at her homeland, America. Farewell, she thought and boarded the plane. "Seat 45A" she mumbled "Aha, found it!" then sat on the seat by the window.

"Is this seat number 45?" a red- haired guy asked Julia

"Yeah," she pointed to the seat next to her

"Thanks" he said and sat down beside her. Hwoarang looked at the girl sitting beside him. She was pretty. She had brown hair and eyes like the color of chocolate. "Uh, miss, what's your name?" he managed to let out.

"Julia Chang, and you?" the girl replied

"Hwoarang"

"Um, you don't look American..."

"Yeah, I'm not. I just had a vacation in America and now, I'm off to Japan" Hwoarang said grinning. He looked at her with a certain amount of interest. Her eyes were drooping. She seems sleepy. After a minute or two, Julia was fast asleep with her head resting on Hwoarang's shoulder. When they were only a couple of hours to Japan, Julia woke up and rubbed her eyes sleepily.

"Oh, um, sorry" she said after she'd realized that she slept on his shoulder.

"What for?"

"Um, for leaning on your shoulder for a really long time." She replied uncomfortably.

"Heh. No problem. But I would've preferred if you stayed longer" Hwoarang said smirking

"What?" Julia asked confused

"Nothing" After the last two hours, they were already in Japan.

"We are in Tokyo, Japan. Please fasten your seatbelts and prepare for landing"

"So, bye" Julia said as they finally landed

"Yeah, see ya"

I have to use the Mishima Subway to get to the hotel. But one problem, I don't even know where the subway is... Julia started walking around. Then, she spotted a subway station. Is that it? she wondered and ran up to a Chinese girl she didn't even know. "Um, excuse me, is this the Mishima Subway?"

"Yup!"

"Um, thanks."

"No problem! By the way, I am Ling Xiaoyu."

"I'm Julia Chang" They chatted for a while even though they didn't really know each other.

"So where are you going to school?"

"I think I'm starting at Mishima High"

"Ooh, I study there!" Xiaoyu exclaimed happily

"Really?"

"Yeah!"

"That's great! It's nice to know that I've already met someone"

"I'll even introduce you to my friends, if you like"

"That'll be great!" Julia said happily

"So, do you wanna meet up again? Say, tomorrow 10.40 in the amusement park not far from here?"

"Sure!" Julia agreed "So, till then! Bye now... and, oh yeah, thanks!"


On the other side....

"I wonder why Xiaoyu asked me to meet up here" Jin muttered to himself and looking at the people passing around him. And of all the places, why the subway? I wonder what's taking her so long... Jin scanned the people zooming by. His eyes landed on a beautiful girl with brown hair. She looked like she was in a hurry. She ran past him, bumping him and causing his drink to fall.

"Sorry" the girl looked back then hurried to catch the subway. Jin knelt down to pick up his plastic cup but something stopped him... a silver bracelet with little hearts was on the floor. He picked it up. Maybe it belongs to the girl... Jin was about to get in the subway and give it to her, but the doors suddenly closed. He put the bracelet in his pocket for safe- keeping.

A/N: What'll happen next? Stay tuned! And remember...R&R!
