Ugh! This thing was being such a pain when I tried to update! I just wanted to edit it!

Disclaimer: All mine! cackles madly Alright, alright. You know I don't own shiznit. All Namco's peeps.

I would like to thank Hipathya, Lil JJ Chang, Wolfinstrife, Kadeana (love your new name BTW), alatariel meneldur and anybody else that read for your great reviews. Thank you all sooooo much!

I thought I was going to get some help from my sister with this story, but when I asked her she said "I get paid for my writing". Whateva! To make a long story short, I'll be finishing this baby by myself. Enough of my babbling, on with the fic!

Chapter 2: Fighting and Laughing

CRASH!

Jin had just ducked a chair Craig had thrown at him and side-stepped a flying glass heading his way. He then somehow managed a glance at Julia. She was pulling Anna's hair and dragging her across the floor, while Anna fitfully tried to loosen her grip.

He couldn't believe this chick was actually fighting Julia over a dance with him. He'd never admit it to anybody, but this seriously did wonders to his ego. He grinned, but snapped out of it when he felt himself fall face first toward the floor. The burly man had moved behind him and pulled Jin's legs right from under him.

Damn, he's quick. Jin thought as he was being pulled across the floor on his stomach. He kicked and one of Craig's hands let go, but he quickly recovered. Jin kicked and squirmed but Craig's iron grip wouldn't let up. Where the hell is Hwoarang when you need him?

Julia pulled and pulled at Anna's hair until she lost her grip and all that was left in her hand was a ball of clumped up hair.

"Oops," she silently mouthed and looked at Anna. The other woman gasped at the ball spot she felt when her hand tapped the top of her head.

"My hair!" She cried, standing on her shaky legs. "I'm gonna beat the hell out of you, you stupid bitch!" She snarled at Julia.

She smiled at the balding woman, knowing she had her right where she wanted. Anna was really mad now and would start fighting sloppy. As if she wasn't already.

Julia dashed to the right with Anna right on her heals. Their bare feet patted on the floor. Neither one could remember when they lost their shoes. She then stopped on the side of a table, Anna on the opposite.

"Give up, bitch," Anna harshly whispered to her. Julia frowned at her. This heifer was calling her that like it was her name.

"It's Julia, tramp, and you call me that one more time, you'll be swallowing your teeth," She said through clenched teeth.

Anna laughed, humorlessly. "Bitch," she smoothly said. Julia blinked at the boldness of this skank. She was already winning the fight and it seemed Anna just couldn't get enough of a beating.

Suddenly, her head was back and Anna had her arms around her neck. Spoke too soon, huh? Julia's mind mocked her. She struggled against the hold. How did the tables turn so fast? She tried to get a glimpse of Jin.

"Jin?" She called to him.

"A little busy here." Came his reply as he dodged another swing from Craig. Julia kicked her leg back to hit Anna's knee.

"Ah!" Anna let go of her neck and cradled her knee like a baby. Julia turned around and kicked Anna in the face and turned to run to Jin.

"Jin, we--ow!" Julia was cut off as she felt something connect with her leg and caused her to go sprawling on the floor. She lifted her face to look right at Christie and her friends. Good. Maybe I can get some help getting this whore off of me.

"Christie, Max, please could you hold her down or something so I can get out of here?" She didn't bother asking Eddy since he looked a lot like Steve from earlier that night.

Christie and Max looked at one another. "Uh…sorry, Jules. I don't know you THAT well. Come on, Max." Christie hooked her arm in Max's while he gave Julia an apologetic look. "Eddy, baby, get up. We gotta go." She pulled him by the arm also and sauntered out of the club.

Julia laid there for a second or two, stunned. The hooker had just left her and couldn't have cared less. Memo to self: never go clubbing with bitches again. She actually forgot about Anna for a bit but snapped out of her daze quickly.

"Jin! We need to get out of here before the police come!" She yelled his way.

"Huh? What?" She rolled her eyes at his questions and stood up. She winced at the pain that shot through her leg and limped over to him and the bouncer. Jin punched him one last time and it looked like the big man was finally out.

Jin exhaled heavily and looked at Julia. "You alright?" He put his hand on her arm and rubbed it.

She shook her head. "No. We have to get out of here before we get arrested." She grabbed his arm and headed toward the door. She ran a hand through hair.

"Crap! Where are my chopsticks?" Julia groaned, gaining a confused look from Jin.

"You're not getting away that easily!" Anna screamed, running at them in some crazy rage.

"Whoa!" Jin pushed Julia out the way while Anna clawed at him, scratching his back badly. Julia grabbed Anna's hair again and easily pulled the maniac off of Jin.

"Hurry, let's go!" She took his hand in hers and pulled him back toward the door.

They ran out the club and down the street, Julia still leading. Both ran for what seemed like ten minutes straight until Julia stopped and turned into some apartment complexes.

"Where are we going?" Jin asked, being the first to speak since they had left the club.

"I don't know. I'm just trying to get away from that club." Julia finally stopped running at a playground in the middle of the complex. The only sound was them both panting from the run they just had.

Julia walked to one of the swings and sat down, putting her head in both her palms. Jin followed and sat next to her in another swing.

"Are you okay?" He asked attentively. She looked at him and sighed.

"No, I'm not. Those shoes cost a grip!" There was silence then Jin's laughing filled the air. Julia stared at him with mock anger.

"I'm serious! A hundred and twenty dollars down the drain!" She pouted and he laughed harder.

"Jin!"

"Okay, okay. I didn't even realize that you ran down that street bare-footed. Did you step on anything and hurt yourself?" He asked, holding his laughter in but doing a pretty poor job at it.

She scoffed. "Like you care!"

"Come on! You know I care." He chuckled.

"Yeah, right!" She playfully rolled her eyes at him. "I'm fine, though."

He smiled. "Good."

She glanced back at him. "What were you going to do if I did hurt myself? Kiss my boo-boo?" She teased.

"No way! Kiss those dirty feet? Please!" He grimaced and Julia maneuvered herself so she could put her feet on his lap.

"No! Don't let them touch me! I think I'm going to melt!" He joked and waved his hand in front of his face like her feet stunk.

She giggled and wriggled her toes in his face while he swatted them away. They played around for a couple more minutes when she finally moved her feet off of him. She laughed.

"What?" Jin asked.

"Thirty minutes ago, I felt like I was ready to kill somebody and here I am laughing like I have not a care in the world. Thank you for that." She smiled at him.

He smiled back. "No problem." She could have sworn there was a flicker of something in his eyes, but couldn't put her finger on it. They stared at each other for a couple more seconds before she broke the contact to change the subject.

"You know Christie ditched me at the club?"

"Who?"

"The girl I came with. Her and her henchmen left me when, during the fight with Anna, I asked if she could hold her down or something. So you and I could escape before someone called the cops."

"Uh huh. I probably would have left, too. I mean going to jail over some drama for someone you hardly know. Can't exactly blame her."

"You're supposed to agree with me, you know."

"Oh, sorry." He laughed.

"I'm kidding, but I was just so terrified of going to jail over some BS, you know?" Julia looked down at her feet.

"Yeah, I understand. Well, we're home free…I hope." Jin stood up and stretched.

"Where are we headed now?" She asked him.

"I don't know. You were leading the way, boss." He said, grinning at her.

She had a puzzled look on her face. "I don't know how you're staying so happy after all that drama."

He put his hand on his chin, pretending to think. "Probably 'cuz I won my fight."

"I won mine, too…sort of, but the whole thing still pisses me off. I really liked those shoes!" She said, causing Jin to burst out laughing again.

"Well, don't think about it. Think about more important things, like me." It was her turn to laugh.

"See! There's that pretty smile. So where to, boss?" She stood up and looked around.

"I have no idea where we're at and you know I don't live anywhere near here." She looked at him. "You don't live around here either, do you?"

"No. We live on Freemon Road, remember?"

"You guys moved again?"

"Yeah. Hwoarang said his room was too small and smelled like cheese. So we left after a couple of months. We've been staying in the new place for about a month now, though." She nodded her head then looked at him and smirked.

"You know, that still doesn't help us pick our next destination."

"Sure it does. I stay closer so we'll go to my place. Hopefully, you don't mind staying the night. It is 1am and who knows what time we'll make it to the apartment."

"It's fine. I'll stay the night. I'm just worried about my feet." She glanced down at her bare feet.

"I could carry you." Jin said a little quietly.

She beamed at him. "You don't have to do that, Jin. I just don't want to step on any nasty critters." She grimaced looking at the ground around her feet.

"It's fine. Grab on." He turned so she could ride on his back.

"Alright. Don't be mad at me when you wake up with a aching back from carrying me that far. I'm not exactly skin and bones you know?" She raised an eyebrow at him and he turned around to look at her.

She stood with her hands on her hips, foot tapping lightly on the ground, and eyebrow still raised. The red dress she wore on fitted her curves perfectly and even after brawling in a dirty club, messing up her hair, and losing her shoes, she looked beautiful to him.

Julia felt like a flea under his gaze, but held her ground. His eyes traveled up her body to land on hers and she swallowed with slight difficulty.

He smirked at her. "It's very clear that you aren't skin and bones, Ms. Chang, and that's a very good thing."

She could feel her heart start to race, but continued on nonchalantly. "Are you hitting on me, Mr. Kazama?" Her smirk equaled his.

He then grinned and stepped closer to her. "Of course not, but you are wearing the hell out of that dress." She only hoped it was dark enough to hide her blushing face, because she could've sworn every ounce of blood in her body was heading to head.

Julia averted her gaze to somewhere on his shirt. "Thank you. You look very nice, too."

"Thanks," He looked around the park. "We should probably go now. Anna or the cops could be looking for us." She was thankful he changed the subject before her head popped.

Julia gasped. "Don't say that! Let's leave now!" She was about to climb on his back when she noticed something.

"You know that your shirt is ripped on the back?"

"Oh, it's not mine. One of Hwoarang's shirts." He laughed. "That's what he get for not helping me beat that guy. Not that I needed help mind you." Julia playfully rolled her eyes and climbed on his back.

"Whatever you say, Jin." She laid her chin on his shoulder as he headed out of the complex.

"No really! I swear I could have been a martial artist in my past life." They both laughed hard at that. Maybe this wasn't a completely dreadful night. Julia thought as she listened to Jin talk on.
