The announcer called out the players for the upcoming fight, "Jin Kazama and Hwoarang!" It boomed.
All the advocates stared for we all knew how tense this would be. We all knew that besides his father's bloodline, Hwoarang was his rival.
The announcer yelled to start the fight. Hwoarang was already in his stance and Jin standing his ground. In my mind I dreamed that Jin was fighting for me and for all I knew, he was.
I woke from my daydream to realize that Hwoarang was on the ground. I didn't get to see the start of the fight but at least I'd get to see the end. Hwoarang sprang to his feet. Jin saw that he was backing up so he got prepped for his spiral kick. As Hwoarang ran at him with full speed, Jin charged up his power as kicked at Hwoarang as he lifted himself almost into a jump. Hwoarang got up once again from the ground and ran up Jin's body, kicking him behind him as he went up. Jin tumbled on the ground. As he waited for Jin to get up, he felt someone pull his feet from beneath him and he looked up from the ground only to see Jin smirking down at him. Jin moved back so as not to get kicked. Once he was up, Jin grabbed at his wrist then kicked him away but just as Hwoarang could hit the ground, Jin grabbed him again and twisted Hwoarang's arm behind his back and Jin flipped him over his own back.
By this time, the time they'd been given had run out. The announcer called the name of the fighter who'd done the most damage. "Jin Kazama is the winner!"
Jin ran back up to where I was standing and embraced me in a hug. "Well, baby," I smiled. "We both made it past the first round." He nodded a reassured nod. I think I was happier than him. Probably because he had done this before.
I didn't see Miharu fight; Jin and I went home after that.
