So I made Julia Native American but only because Michelle and her wear the jewelry and stuff. This most likely will be Julia/Hwoarang and Ling/Jin. ^_^ Hope ya enjoy!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The wind blew swiftly along the desert as the sun shone brightly down onto the prying sand. Not a sign of human habitat within miles. Nothing but cactuses and tumble weed. A faint sound could be heard through the emptiness. As it came nearer it was distinguished as a wolves howl? The howl was full of anger and pain. Then there was nothing. The desert disappeared from sight, no wind or wolf. Teeth. Large white teeth quivered as a growl made way. A native call echoed in the background. Blood?

Julia Chang shot up from her bed in a hurry as her recent nightmare flushed over her. Wiping the damp bangs from her forehead she screamed. Her heart beat quickened in pace as she clamped her chest in her hands. Glancing around the dark room she slid her legs off the side of her single bed, the white silk sheets wrinkling and folding with her every movement. Making her way over to the large window she pushed back the curtains. There it was. The night moon.

So beautiful yet so mysterious. Julia thought. Shaking her head to dislodge her recent sightings of her dream from her mind she sighed as her bedroom door opened quietly.

~*~*~*~*~

Ling Xiaoyu walked slowly into the bedroom yawning and stretching as she wiped the sleepiness from her brown eyes. Rubbing her arms softly she stopped in front of the large window to see Julia standing there. Blinking a few times she decided to speak.

"Julia? Is.Everything al'ight? I heard your screams so I came to check on you." Julia turned towards the Chinese girl and dropped her gaze. Forgetting completely that she had let the young teenager stay the weekend at her apartment since such chaos was running around the Mishima household. Since the last unknown e-mail from an unknown source sent to Ling explaining and warning the young girl of the corruption inside the Mishima family, she no longer could trust Heihachi Mishima or feel safe under his roof. Julia took her in allowing her to stay with her, but only for the time being. Speaking up Julia tried to acknowledge her friend. "I'll be alright Ling. Just go back to bed and do not worry of me." She replied not wanting Ling to worry about something that not even Julia could figure out. Ling frowned and shook her head. "Nah that's al'ight I don't need sleep anyways." The two laughed a little in unison at the remark and made their way to the bed, sitting down softly. "I take it you couldn't sleep either then." Julia replied looking to Ling concerned. "Me? Not really." Ling dropped her gaze to the floor as her hands twined the end of her silk night gown between her slender fingers. "Jin?" Julia took Ling's hand in hers and smiled. "Don't worry. He will come back soon enough. Just will take some time." Ling looked up towards the ceiling and sighed. "I guess your right Julia. But it's not only that. I'm worried about what Heihachi is planning. That e-mail was no coincidence. I strongly believe Jin sent it to me as a warning of some sort." The two made eye contact and shook their heads as they laughed for no reason. "I say we both get dressed and head out for some coffee." Ling smiled and made her way towards the door. "Good idea. But you're buying!" With that she exited the room with a laugh. Julia only smiled at the remark and stood making her way to her closet for some clothes.

Hard boots hit the wet ground as gun shots were heard from behind. Ranting and screaming from some kind of officers made its way to his ears. Seeing a corner ahead he dodged a few more bullets and jumped skillfully out of site into the alley. Taking in breath he removed his hood from his head. Cracking his knuckles full of anger he closed his eyes, letting his head fall back against the cold brick wall. Leaning into the wall as the soldiers ran by Jin dropped his gaze to the ground. Shaking the wetness from his damp hair he let out a small laugh. "Armatures." He replied in a low whisper. His voice was low and yet full. Pulling his hood back over his black hair he glanced past the corner to see if the coast was clear. Nodding his head he quickly made his way back onto the city streets.

~*~*~*~*~

Making his way out of the group he smiled to himself. Freedom. Pulling the letter out of his pocket he read it to himself. Iron Fist Tournament 4. This was his chance to make it to the top. To live his dream and finally be more then his father. Hwoarang stopped abruptly as a figure made its way into his site. Leaning against the brick wall of the city building his lips curved into a small smile. There he was. Jin Kazama, the one and only. Making a run for it he made his way towards him swiftly, his fist coming into contact with the Japanese boy's face hard. Jin hit the wall and turned back towards the attacker. His eyes widened a little at the site. "You." Was all that came out from his lips.

~*~*~*~*~ Ling rubbed her hands together as to form a bit of heat as she laughed at the site of her own breath leaving her mouth. Julia giggled a bit as she took a sip of her coffee and bundled her coat a little tighter. "Eesh, a cold winter this year eh?" Ling replied as she stuffed her gloved hand into her coat pocket, the other holding onto the hot cup of fresh coffee. Her cheeks rosy red and her nose pink, she licked her lips to moisturize them. The two stopped as they sensed danger in the air. Ling turned abruptly searching the area. She knew it had to be him, Jin.

~*~*~*~*~ Jin dodged Hwoarang's next attack as she made way into his site. Grabbing hold of his fist he shook his head. "Not here. Not now. We both are on the run from something. So let's just let it be." Hwoarang stopped and glanced around. He knew he was right. They were risking of giving their selves up and hurting innocent people. Turning away slowly he noticed two young girls staring at them. Hearing gun shots from the alley he made his way towards them. "We will meet again Jin Kazama." Disappearing with the soldiers Jin smiled and turned towards the city again. Stopping he caught his breath. There she was, Ling Xiaoyu. He knew she was looking for him. Some how she had always been able to sense when he was around and she was on him like a pack of wolves on fresh meat. Bringing the hood back up over his head he placed his hands into his pockets and entered the nearest store, staying by the window to get a look at her.

~*~*~*~

"Ling, are you sure you saw him?" Julia asked as she made yet another sweep of the town and no sign of the recent attack they saw. "Yes! I am positive it was him Julia. I know it was him." Dropping her head she leaning back against a store window not noticing the man standing in front of it. You couldn't make out a face or anything anyways Julia noted. Sighing Ling took another sip of her coffee and stood up straight. "Maybe your right Julia. Its hopeless I should just give up." Ling stepped away from the window and smiled to the girl. "Let's get going, long day ahead of us eh?" The two laughed and shrugged off the recent events. Ling stopped and looked back towards the window. Sighing she whispered under her breath, "I will find you Jin. That I promise you and when I do. I will help you with whatever it is your running from." Turning back around she smiled towards Julia as they made their way back to her apartment.

Jin dropped his head hearing the words and clutched his chest as he fought back the evil that lived within. He would not let it take over, never, not again. Dropping down the wall he grimaced at the pain that sketched his face. "That day will come soon Ling. For it will." With that he stood and made his way back out towards his destination.
