Chapter 8

Nightmare

SOUTH-OSAKA

14th MAY 2014

Since she was on holidays Asuka had been training hard every day. Besides she had nothing else to do. Asuka wanted to enter in some martial arts tournaments that summer, but she knew her father wouldn't approve. To him she was only a child and he didn't want her to get hurt.

It was still early in the afternoon when Satome interrupted Asuka's trainings.

-'Why are you training so hard?'-he asked her.

-'Because I want to!'-she replied cleaning her face with a towel.

-'It's still early for your father's classes…he always said we should rest before the lessons!'

-'Why can't you just mind your own business?'

-'You want to enter other tournaments, don't you?'

-'What if I do?'-Asuka asked in a challenging voice.

-'I'll tell master Kazama…'

-'What?'

-'You can't go to other tournaments…your father won't let you!'

-'I might be able to convince him!'

-'Your technique is not complete yet…remember?'

-'So what? I don't give a damn…I'm good enough to enter a tournament and that's good for me.'

-'Will you disobey master Kazama's orders?'

-'Maybe!'

-'Don't forget he is your father, Asuka, and you're not eighteen yet.'

-'Leave me alone, alright?'

-'You're so childish!'

-'Why are you doing this to me?'-Asuka asked almost in despair.-'I mean since High School you always try to piss me off!'

-'I don't know what you're talking about!'

-'Just because you were the Director's nephew you always did what you want in School…but we are not in school anymore, and I'm sick of your stupid attitude!'

Asuka left the Dojo.

-'Where are you going?'-Satome asked surprised to see her react like that.

-'Tell my father I will be back in time for his lessons!'

Satome stood there watching her leave and shrugged.

A few hours later Asuka was walking around the streets. She had to wait two more hours to go to her father's lessons. Why did Satome have to be such a jerk? That was precisely why she didn't want to have a boyfriend in her life.

Without noticing, Asuka got home. She was at the Dojo front gate, which was opened.

-'That's odd…'-she said in a low voice.

When she entered her heart almost stopped. Three of her friends, her father's students were on the ground unconscious. Then she saw Satome too. She kneeled besides him and tried to wake him up.

-'Satome! Are you alright?'-she shouted.-'Satome!'

Satome opened his eyes and said something that Asuka didn't understand.

-'What?'-she asked.

-'Check the Dojo…your father…'

Asuka watched the Dojo with fear. She knew her father was inside, but was he alive?

She walked in and there he was, bleeding on the floor. She started crying but she didn't risk moving him.

-'Daddy?'-she cried.-'Daddy…answer me…please…'

Her tears rolled down her face, but then she immediately remembered the dream she had. The woman with black hair said something like that would happen.

Asuka got up and phoned to ask for help. A few minutes later she was taken in an ambulance along with her father.

In the Hospital, Asuka was ordered to wait while her father was in the surgery room. Satome and the rest of the students, who had been attacked as well, were giving their stories to the police.

They weren't too badly treated, at least not too much. Satome was the only exception. He had three broken ribs and a lot of bruises.

Almost four hours later, a nurse warned that her father was out of danger but in critical situation. Asuka started crying again.

-'Are you Mr. Takao Kazama's daughter?'-a police officer asked.

-'Yes…'-Asuka answered.-'Do you now who did this?'

-'Not yet…'

-'You have to find him!'

-'Can you tell me what happened?'

Asuka told the police everything she knew, but she couldn't understand why the police was asking questions while they should be searching for the man responsible for that crime.

Satome joined her after a few minutes.

-'My parents are coming over…they want you to stay with us tonight.'-he said.

Asuka looked at Satome. A few hours ago they had a fight, and now he seemed much friendlier.

-'I'll stay here…with my dad.'

-'You have to ask permission to the Hospital…and I don't think they will let you.'

-'Who did this?'-Asuka asked suddenly.

-'A man…a Chinese man…'

-'And his name?'

-'I didn't hear him saying his name. I blacked out!'

-'What the hell happened?'

-'We were training…waiting for your father because he was meditating in his room, when suddenly a man opened the gates and provoked us to a fight.'

-'Why didn't you call the police?'

-'We thought he would leave…we thought he wasn't serious about fighting…'

-'So you fought…'

-'Yes. He was going to kill me when your father arrived and saved me. Then they started a fight. When I saw that your father was in troubles I tried to help him, but the guy hit me hard on the head and I blacked out.'

-'I'll find this guy…and I'll kill him!'

-'The police will take care of this!'

-'Not if I find him first!'

SOUTH-OSAKA

16th MAY 2014

Two days after the attack Satome was feeling much better. As for Asuka she was spending most of her time in the hospital. The doctors had said that master Kazama was going to live, but he was very badly injured and it would take many months to recover completely.

Even so, Asuka was happy.

-'In two weeks he will leave the Hospital and he will stay in a clinic to recover…'-she said to her friends who had gone with her to the Hospital to pay a visit to their master.

-'And this clinic…will he be alright there?'-Naoko asked.

-'There are many nurses there…besides it's not very far from our home, so I can see him every day!'

-'Look there's the guy!'-Higen said pointing to the other side of the street.

-'What?'-Asuka watched a tall guy going the opposite direction.-'YOU! STOP RIGHT THERE!'-she shouted.

The man stopped but as soon as he saw Asuka going in his direction he started running.

Asuka went in his pursuit, and so did Satome.

-'Tell the police!'-he yelled to the others.-'Asuka…stop! Let him go!'-Satome yelled in vein.

-'Never! I'll get him!'

Minutes later Asuka and Satome were in the East-side of Osaka. The man was ahead of them. He got in an alley, in the back of a restaurant and stopped.

-'What do you want from me?'-he asked.

-'You have to pay for what you did to my dad!'-Asuka said trying to catch her breath.

-'I thought your father was better than that!'

-'I'll show you the Kazama's power, you jerk!'

-'You? You're just a little girl…'

-'Am I?'- Asuka didn't waste more time and she attacked him with a kick on the stomach.

The man took a few steps back, but then he charged Asuka by grabbing her head and throwing her against the wall. Asuka almost blacked out, but slowly she got up and cleaned the blood on her head. Then she saw Satome attacking that big man.

Satome punched him on the face and the Chinese man looked at him with despise.

-'Wasn't enough for you in the other day?'-he asked.

-'No! Until you stop hurting people, I'll face you…whenever I have a chance.'

-'But you don't have a chance…'

-'You're not unbeatable.'

The man grabbed Satome's leg when he was trying to hit him with a kick and threw him against the dust bins. Then he started to kick Satome in the stomach.

-'See? I told you…Feng Wei is always the winner!'

-'Hey! I'm still here…leave my friend alone!'-Asuka said regaining her strengths.

Feng Wei took an iron bar from the ground and tried to hit Asuka.

With that bar it was hard for Asuka to come closer and hit him, but she had to do something.

-'Come on little girl…hit me!'-Feng Wei teased her.

Asuka was really angry now and she ducked when he tried to hit her again. Then she punched him in the chest. She was hoping he would fall, but he didn't. Asuka thought he was going to use the iron bar to hit her head but he grabbed her neck instead and pushed her against the wall. Asuka looked at Satome who was unconscious. She was suffocating and she closed her eyes. Then Feng Wei let her go. Asuka fell hard on the floor and she saw a guy with red hair. Then she blacked out too.

-'Why don't you pick someone of your own size?'-Hwoarang said.

-'Who are you?'-Feng Wei asked.

-'The guy who is going to kick your butt!'

-'Yeah…sure…I don't have time for this!'

-'Hwoarang…what's going on?'-Eijiro joined Hwoarang in the alley but when they both looked, Feng Wei was gone.

-'Where the hell did he go?'-Hwoarang asked surprised.

-'Who was he?'-Eijiro asked.

-'I don't know…but he did a hell of job with these two…'-Hwoarang pointed at Asuka and Satome.-'Hey…are you ok?'-Hwoarang asked shaking Asuka.

Asuka woke up and saw the face of the red hair guy.

-'Are you ok?'-he insisted.

Asuka blushed and got up immediately.

-'I'm fine!'-she said walking over to Satome, who was getting up too.-'Are you ok?'

-'Yes…'-Satome answered rubbing his head.

-'What was that all about?'-Hwoarang asked.-'Why were you fighting?'

-'Don't get involved…it's better this way.'-Asuka said.

-'Are you sure…? Because if it wasn't for me, you could be dead by now.'

Asuka blushed again and she turned her back to leave.

-'Hey? Where are you going?'-Hwoarang asked.

-'Home…'

Satome followed Asuka and they both left the East-side.

-'Are you sure you're alright?'-Asuka asked.

-'Yes.'

-'You shouldn't have followed me!'

-'Sure…so what was I supposed to do? Wait and then go pick up your corpse?'

Asuka looked down.

-'Thanks…'-she muttered.

-'Look…just go home and stay there, ok?'-Satome suggested.

-'I can't do anything else, can I? He escaped…'

Asuka went home and she took a hot shower. Then she cleaned her wound and prepared her dinner. After that she phoned to the Hospital to ask if her father was alright. The nurse said he was fine.

Asuka laid down on the couch and thought of everything it had happened. After all she wasn't as strong as she thought she was. She had been defeated by the guy named Feng Wei and she had to be saved by a stranger, who by the way was the most handsome guy she had ever seen.

-'Oh my God!'-she said in a low voice. She had just admitted she liked the guy, that couldn't be happening, not to her.

-'Oh…shit!'-she said covering her head with a pillow.

SOUTH-OSAKA

19th MAY 2014

Three days after the incident Asuka couldn't stop thinking about what had happened to her and Satome in that alley. She wasn't very sure of her feelings, but she was starting to think that she was having a crush on that red hair guy. The problem was she didn't even know him.

Her father had noticed she was a bit different, but since he wasn't with her all day, he didn't ask.

That afternoon she was leaving the Hospital with Naoko and Kaede, after visiting her father, when a police officer went to speak to her.

-'You are Kazama Asuka, right?'-he asked.

-'Yes…'

-'You told us to contact the east-side police because you had seen your father's attacker on the East side, didn't you?'

-'Yes…'

-'Well…they couldn't get him, but Chief Wulong wants to speak to you.'

-'Now?'

-'Yes…if it's possible…'

-'Sure…'

-'Lets go…I'll take you.'

-'Where?'

-'To the East side…chief Wulong is the police station Chief in the East side of Osaka!'

-'Oh…alright then.'

Asuka left her friends and a half an hour later she was entering Lei Wulong's office.

-'What is it that you want to speak to me?'-Asuka asked sitting down on a chair.

-'I know what happened to your father and I got some news that I think you might want to know…'

-'And what's that?'

-'What happened to you?'-Lei asked pointing to her head where he could see a bruise.

-'Nothing…'-she lied. She couldn't say that she had been fighting with Feng Wei. But Lei wasn't stupid and he knew exactly what had happened.

-'Look, this guy, Feng Wei, he's Chinese and back in China he was pretty rough too. He murdered his master…without a reason and now he's at large.'

-'He's a murderer?'

-'Yes. This means he's dangerous, and you shouldn't be looking for him…alright?'

-'He attacked my father and my friends!'

-'The police will catch him sooner or later…in the meanwhile you have to stay home while we do our jobs!'

-'You let him go!'

-'Yes, he is hiding. But we can't protect you…I need your word that you won't do this again!'

-'I want him to pay for what he did…'

-'And he will. He's going to enter the Iron Fist…I'll be there to catch him. But you…I want you to be safe, so stay with your father, ok?'

-'The Iron Fist?'

-'It's a tournament.'

-'I know what it is.'

-'Do you give me your word?'

-'I'll think about it…'

-'Ok…you can go miss…a…miss…'

-'Kazama, Asuka Kazama.'

-'Kazama?'

-'Yes. Why?'

Lei looked at her and thought about Jin. Jin didn't have a sister or cousins, so probably she had nothing to do with him.

-'Do you have a brother?'-Lei asked.

-'No.'

-'Cousins?'

-'Not that I'm aware of…why?'

-'It's nothing…it's just that you remind me of someone…'

-'Whatever. Can I go?'

-'Yes…and stay out of troubles, Asuka.'

Asuka got up and when she was leaving the room she turned back.

-'Can I please ask you something?'-she asked blushing.

-'What?'

-'There is a guy who leaves here in the East-side…he has red hair…do you know him?'

-'What? Hwoarang?'

-'Yes…that's his name…I think…'

-'What do you want from him?'

-'Well…I sort of need to thank him…can you tell me where he lives?'

-'Are you sure we're talking about the same guy?'

-'I guess…'

-'Hwoarang is the Tsunamis' leader…did you know?'

-'WHAT? That gang of outlaws?'

-'Yes.'

-'Oh…great. Just great!'

-'Do you still want to know where he lives?'

Asuka glared at Lei and she nodded.

-'Ok. He lives near the Makia Hotel…'

Asuka left furious. With so many guys in Osaka and she was interested in an outlaw. Who would've thought that could happen to her? All of her life she had sworn not to have feelings for boys, and now all of a sudden she was thinking about a guy she didn't even know, and who was a delinquent and a thug leader.

When she got home, and unfortunately for her, Kaede and Naoko were there waiting for her. She wasn't in the mood for talking.

-'So what happened?'-Kaede asked curious.

-'Did they catch the guy?'-Naoko asked.

-'No.'

-'That's a shame…'-Kaede said.

-'Are you alright?'-Naoko asked realising that Asuka wasn't acting normally.-'What's wrong with you?'

-'Nothing…'

-'Come on tell us!'-begged Naoko.

Asuka knew they wouldn't give up.

-'Remember when I said that Satome and I were saved by a guy…?'-Asuka asked.

-'Yes…'-both girls answered.

-'Well I need to thank him, because I was very rude…and I learned he's an outlaw.'-Asuka explained. It wasn't the whole truth but she couldn't say to her friends she was having feelings for a guy like Hwoarang.

-'An outlaw?'-Naoko asked.

-'Yes. The Tsunamis' leader.'

-'Wow…are you joking with us?'-Kaede asked excited.-'People say he's the best!'

-'Well…he is pretty strong…'

-'You like him, don't you?'-Naoko asked all of the sudden.

-'No!'-Asuka said immediately.-'I don't like him and I never will. He's a damn outlaw and I don't want to have nothing to do with him, ok?'

Asuka entered her house and closed the door behind her.

Naoko and Kaede looked at each other and shrugged. Then they both smiled and said at the same time:

-'She likes him!'

-'What a nightmare!'-Asuka said going to her room.
