"Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome here at the Arena this evening – our all time Favourite Jin Kazama!" The announcer's voice from the loudspeakers was nothing more than a whisper when the (mainly female) crowd started screaming in ecstasy. Tons of cheering girls and women seamed the fairly narrow gangway to the ring where Jin was walking up to his enemy, the last one who kept him from being named the King Of Iron Fist. The crowd was pressing against the iron fences which were meant to protect the competitors but at this time they were almost useless. Jin didn't really care about the crowd, his mind was totally fixed on Marduk, this ugly Vale Tudo giant. Jin had to admit that Marduk was the last one he was keen on fighting against. Marduk was pretty big and difficult to tackle – and sheer impossible to throw. Jin had an idea how to fight him and he hoped it would work out the way he had planned. His eyes narrowed when he approached the ring.

Miharu thanked god for the invention of V.I.P. boxes and the fact that she had gotten a ticket for one of them. She had taken her Nikon camera with her and screwed one of the teleobjectives on it, determined to shoot some good pictures of this fight. After she had taken those pictures and looked at them again she found that she had pictured mainly Jin and most of the pictures showed his chest. She promptly deleted most of the pictures straight after she had looked through them after the end of the fight.

"Ready. FIGHT!" The referee tried not to get between them as Jin and Craig got into their fighting stances and the fight began.

Next to Miharu a group of teenagers started screaming like crazy, shaking the fists and jumping up from their seats as Jin managed to break through Marduk's defence and made him go down to his knees. "Get your lazy ass in gear, Kazama! I bet five hundred bucks on you!" one of the hollered. Miharu winced at the sound of his voice as he was screaming directly into her ear.

"Geez." she sighted and took a shot of Jin as he was punching Marduk in the guts. Another mad cheer was going throught the crowd as Jin kicked Marduk so hard that the big man was flying backwards, struggling to get to his feet again. Miharu thought it was some kind of funny because every time a punch or kick connected, the LJ made all thefloodlights flash at once. She expected Jin and Marduk to be blinded by the end of this fight.

The end came more than sudden when a combo Jin delivered connected hard to Marduk's left temple and knocked him unconscious. The referee counted to ten and Jin was the winner!

Miharu was jumping up from her seat, cheering and screaming with the audience. A Mexican wave was running throught the arena, once, twice, trice, then Miharu decided to leave the arena because the award ceremony was about an hour later and she wanted to congratulate Jin for his spectacular win. She was fighting her way to the wardrobes where a security agent stopped her from moving on. She had no choice but to wait until Jin came and let her in personally.

"Mi, honey!" he embraced her and smiled, a little weary but over the moon.

"My all-time superstar!" she chuckled and kissed him deeply, running her fingers through his wet hair. "You know what? The guy who was sitting next to me earned five hundred bucks at 1:3 because you won. Guess, you made him a happy guy."

"You know what makes me a really happy guy? Having you as my girl!" His dark eyes seemed to sparkle as he held her tight for another deep kiss.
