Chapter 7 - We're On It

Both Victoria and Ling Xiaoyu had searched through the net for over two days now. Xiaoyu was so kind to invite Victoria to stay over in her house. She really trusted this unknown Norwegian girl. What Victoria had said about Jin, she believed it, each sentence. Xiaoyu could do everything for her friend, Jin Kazama. His name always lightened her up at the first touch, something that made Victoria mad, pushing into her like a child, screaming like it was the first time. But as they had heard, each newspaper in town, or over the whole world, started making people all over crazy.

Kazama Jin is a murderer.

The headlines were clear, he would die if he was caughted. But didn't he get captured? He did disappear along that policeman the other day. The papers told everyone to hold their distance with their eyes open. Call the police, and you'll get a reward, money, a lot of money. And it was this that made Japan go crazy. Heihachi Mishima's face turned up at the screen everyday at four a'clock. People stood in a circle glaring and listening to him. He made them believe that Jin had killedKazuya Mishima, his son. Ling Xiaoyu didn't know what the hell Kazuya had to do with Jin, but when Victoria told her the whole story, she looked at her like she had just killed someone.

"Omigosh...Kazuya is Jin's father...and Heihachi is his true grandfather...?" Xiaoyu stammered.

"Yup." Victoria answered while clicking on the keyboard, "Calm down and help me, Xiao, please!" she continued.

Xiaoyu sat down on her chair in an instance, then placing her feets up along her body on the seat of hers, "I hope you're not laying, Victoria!".

"You just gotta believe me.".

The Chinese girl got silent at her reply. She came closer to the computer screen. She scanned the page Victoria was looking at, but she raised a brow.

"Um...what's g-corporation?".

Victoria let the mouse go from her hold, then she turned to Xiaoyu, "You don't wanna know..." she finshed with a slap on the Chineses' shoulder.

After Victoria had printed out a bunch of papers, she put them into a bag Xiaoyu had given her. The two of them left the intercafe where they had spent their days in about two days now. Just as they came home to Xiaoyu's house, an apartment in the first floor, she greeted her mate living with her. A Japanese guy with dyed blonde hair, long hair in a ponytail. Black pants with an original white t-shirt. He smiled at them while making dinner. The whole room smelled at once.

"What are you cooking, Akeno?" was Xiaoyu's first reply to him. He flipped the knife he was holding. Victoria realized what it was and her face fell as she came up beside him.

"Akeno... Why do you need to make sushi every day?" she asked and bowed down to see the fish that lay on the kitchen table, "Xiao told me about your cooking, man...!".

"She did...? Oh well. We love sushi, don't we Xiao?" he said with a sarcastically voice, but his bad English made him fake the point of it.

"Eh..he! Not really. I miss pizza...".

"What about ramen, or tofu?" Victoria joked and turned to Xiaoyu.

"Heh, I agree. What about something els, like...pizza?".

Akeno shocke his head in irritation, "Why don't you guys make the food if you want to eat something els than sushi!".

Victoria giggled among Xiaoyu when they walked into the livingroom and found their seat in each their sofa chair.

"What now?" Xiaoyu asked placing her feets up onto the table between them, Victoria did the same.

"Well... We're leaving for this tower buliding outside Osaka.".

"Okay, then...I...guess.".

"My Lord I'm hungry right now...ready for sushi, Xiao?".

"Does it look like it...?" Xiaoyu said with a foolish tonefall, she snapped her fingers at the Norwegian girl laughing at her.

"Ha, ha! No it doesn't! That's the point!".

"Stop that, it's not funny!" she replied as she stood up in a brash way, continuing walking into the kitchen. Victoria joined her, but had to give her a grin, "Sorry 'bout that! It's just funny joking with you! You're kinda...easy to read.".

"I've noticed, thank you!".

Akeno gave them both their plates, then placing couple of sushibares onto the table. He smelled the air as he took some sauce over the fish, "I'm doing a new thing today! Maybe it'll taste better!". Xiaoyu gave him a glare, "What, new?".

"Hello? We don't give the fish some sauce onto the food right away... Geez! Grow up!".

Xiaoyu stood up and sat her hands onto the table, "I'm Chinese, NOT Japanese. I'm no expert! So shut your mouth!".

Victoria took a slice from couple of plates at the table. A type of fish there, another there. She used her fork to grab her slices. Victoria wasn't used to use chopsticks yet. She just had to give the two of them, Akeno and Xiaoyu, a glare in their fight while she concentrated about eating. Sushi wasn't that bad, just give it a try, then eat it. Not hard. Not at all.

"Come on, Xiao! Give it up, already. I'm better than you, whatever you say, I'm better. Hah!".

"You're so childish!" Xiaoyu shouted at Akeno, he laughed at her as he continued, "And you're talking about!".

The Norwegian blinked both her eyes, then she put up her spoon and clicked it into the glass, "Stop flirting now, guys! Eat!".

At this, Xiaoyu sat down with her cheeks all red. Akeno got red too, but he turned around for the fish onto the kitchen table. Victoria looked at Xiaoyu and smiled, "He's cute!". Xiaoyu turned the other cheek, "God no!". She could hear her laugh again, but Xiaoyu took her first slice from the fish in the head of her, then she dripped it into the sauce bowl at the side, "Why would I like him, anyway?".

Just as Akeno turned, he recongniced Victoria and Xiaoyu talking, "Are you guys talking about me?".

"Of course we are!" Victoria answered lifting up her spork and knife.

"O-kay...!".

He sat the plate near Xiaoyu, then he smiled down at where she was sitting, "Itadakimasu!".

"Saa..." Xiaoyu answered, smiling to him.

Victoria rasied a finger and gave a funny smirk, "Was that all?".

Akeno sat down too, then turning his face towards Victoria, "What all?".

"Let's eat? Um...excuse me, boy! You're suppose to ask her out!".

The Chinese and the Japanese looked at each other as they yelled the same thing, "IIE!".

Victoria took her hold around her plate and started walking out of the kitchen, but before disappearing round the corner, she gave them a glare from the doorway, "Be nice now!", then she walked over to the sofa chair she used to sit on. With placing both her feets up on the table, she started eating off her plate with sushi. She could hear them fight again.

"De er perfekte for hverandre!." (They're perfect for each other!).

Two minutes later, Ling Xiaoyu came running into the livingroom with Akeno after her, she spun behind the chair Victoria was sitting on. And at this, Akeno grabbed her arm and stopped her from moving, "Don't you throw fish at me again!".

Victoria moved away and sat down on the other chair, from there she watch them talk. They started talking in Japanese as Akeno made Xiaoyu blush. The Norwegian girl could almost understand what was happening, but when she sat her plate at the table in the head of her, Xiaoyu came over to her and sat down onto her knees, silent tapping after her arm.

"When do we leave for Osaka?".

"Tomorrow... What about it?".

"Akeno wanna join us?".

"...why?".

"He wanna help us. And I think we need a guy to help protecting us...".

"We'll have our guy over in Osaka, trust me! We don't need Akeno...".

Xiaoyu drew herself up from the floor and looked back at Akeno, but she wasn't smiling.

"Nasai...!" she said at him. Akeno walked out of the room while whispering to himself; "Chikuso...!".

The TV was turned on as Xiaoyu switched the channel and found the news from Japan. The both of them came closer to the screen and got wide eyes and started looking into each others eyes:

"Jin's in prison...? In Sappora?".

Victoria had to listen to what Xiaoyu had to say, she translated what the lady on the screen was saying, "No...they're gonna kill him...!". She flipped down onto the floor and put her head down in her hands, "Dame desu...". Victoria put her arm over her shoulder and tried to make her feel better with saying, "We'll save him...or, he'll save himself. He'll not die. The Devil gene won't let him.". Xiaoyu raised her head up and scrapped away her tears, "If you say so...!".

Akeno came into the room holding a cookiebox when he saw Jin Kazama on the TV-screen, all he could do was to let the box go.
