Chapter 7:Friend or Foe?

Hwoarang ran over to where Jin and the others were.

"Whoa,whoa! slow down! Hwoarang!" said Falken "What's the rush?"

"Kazuya!" Replied Hwoarang

"And who is that?" asked Falken with one eyebrow arced.

"I already know! He's back! isn't he?" Jin sat on a chair legs crossed.Hwoarang looked at him and nodded.

"Yeah" He looked around. "Hey wait! where did those two go?"

"who?" Xiaoyu asked

"You know, Kat..."

" I'm pretty sure they're okay! They just had a tour around this building" replied Falken before Hwoarang can finish.

"Don't worry too much.Hwo!" Exclaimed Asuka,patting his shoulder.

"I know but..." Hwoarang sighed "I guess you're right"

-Katsuhiro and Rei-

Katsuhiro walked along the corridor while looking at the pictures of his grandfather,Heihachi on the wall.He sticked out his tongue.

"Man! Grandpa's so ugly in his pictures." Katsuhiro scratched his head. Rei giggled as she pulled Katsuhiro's arm.She dragged him up the stairs.They stopped atop the building.

"Why'd you dragged me here?" asked Katsuhiro

Rei let go of his arm and smiled."I used to go on top of buildings with my Master. back in Korea"

"I see."

She smiled again.

"I just wonder, Is Hwoarang your master or your father?" Katsuhiro crossed his arms as he looked up.

"He's my foster father and my master. He took care of me right after the3rd tournament" she explained. "When I was 12, he already taught me Tae-Kwon-Do.Many big kids throw stones at me because they say i'm weak but now I'm not!Right Katsuhiro?" She looked at him with a smile.Katsuhiro smiled back as he hugged her from behind.

"You two look so sweet together!" A manly voice said from behind.

Katsuhiro turned around and saw a man dressed in red with a mask similar to Ryuji's.He grit his teeth and ran towards him and caught him by his collar.

"What the hell are you doing here? Ryuji?" cried Katsuhiro as he clenched his fist,ready to punch him.

"Ryji? what are you talking about?" the stranger asked

Katsuhiro let go of him and backed away "then who are you?"

"Shinji!" he said "My name's Shinji, Ryuji's younger brother!"

"That man has a younger brother?" Rei asked surprised.Shinji nodded as he removed his mask.He had black short hair and one earing pierced on his left eyebrow.

"He's telling the truth Katsuhiro!"

"I know!" Katsuhiro crossed his arms again and glared at Shinji "Why did you sneak up on us like that?"

"Katsuhiro Kazama!" He exclaimed "I've heard about you, Jin Kazama's brother." He turned his attention to Rei "and Rei Doo San, Hwoarang's adopted daughter and pupil."

"And why are you here?" Katsuhiro asked again.

"To find Ryuji, He's taught to be dead, you see,he fell off a cliff while trainig.We searched for him in the sea but it was a failure,we never found his body!" Shinji placed his hands on his waist. "Now that I've learned that he's alive and I'm pretty sure that he is going to join the tournament."

Katsuhiro closed his eyes as he nodded. "Okay!"

They heard a voice from the speaker saying: "ALL FIGHTERS PLEASE HEAD BACK TO THE ANNOUNCEMENT AREA!"

Rei shrugged and headed to the door that led to the stairs.She turned her head to the two men. "Aren't you two coming?"

They looked at each other and smiled. "Sure we're coming!" They both said.
