I had failed again!
Again!
Although I had achieved part of my plan by defeating Heihachi, I had failed to take back the Zaibatsu. I had failed to retrieve the other half of my gene from Jin
I had fought my grandfather, Jinpachi Mishima, a great man who I haven't seen since I was at least fifteen. I had won the fight, but Devil took over and killed the defeated man. He knew that Jinpachi wasn't possessed by the Devil Gene. No, my grandfather had Ogre blood in his veins and Ogre is Devil's sworn enemy. But still, I was furious at Devil for killing one of the only two people who have cared about me. But now, both people are gone and I am left with nothing. Even my own son hates me. It's not something I can get over
True I wasn't there when he was growing up. True I gave him the Devil Gene, which is something he resents me for. But does he constantly have to hate me?
I have never done anything wrong with my family and they all hate me! Heihachi threw me off a cliff when I was five and Jin has hated me for the last two and a half years. There might be a couple of other people out there, but I'm not so sure. I haven't made any attempt to make any contact with them. So when I met them, I don't know what to say or how I'll go about it. They don't know me, but I know them. And I want to talk to them, see how they're going, but I can't. Not yet anyway
I was taking some time out in an apartment when the newspaper came through. Usually I just skim through it and toss it in the bin. But the front page caught my attention. It was interesting, as it brought back memories from six years ago. And it was happening again: Baek Doo So had disappeared. According to his pupil, Hwoarang, a female fighter had appeared at their dojo and challenged them. Hwoarang was knocked unconscious and when he woke up, his master had disappeared and the dojo was a complete wreck
A female fighter?
Could it be?
No, it wouldn't be. And yet, I couldn't shake off this feeling. There was something else amongst them. It was a repeat of Ogre's rampage. Baek was also one of those who were attacked. Including someone I cared about…
Did I care about her?
Maybe during that intense fight I did and even now I still do. It's crazy, since I don't know what has become of her, but this report was telling me something else
It might not be her, but I don't know. Only one person can tell me
I'll have to start with Hwoarang

HWOARANG
"Leave me alone, I'm fine!"
"But please sir, you have to rest"
"I said I'm fine! Now, let me go"
"Sir, you are not fine. You still have some injuries that will take time to heal. You must rest"
"And I said I don't need any rest"
I turned my back on the nurse and headed out of the room. Once I stepped into the hallway, I groaned in pain, clutching at my waist. I had received a large cut there from the fighting chick and I tell you, I'm not pleased about it. Apart from that, I had also received several bruises and my left arm was bandaged and in a sling. Apparently I have a fractured ulna bone and a few broken fingers. I am not a happy person. That fighter is a bitch! And to top it off, my master has disappeared again. Again! This is not good at all! I don't know if I should be happy or not, but I seriously hope Baek is not dead
I looked back and saw that the nurse had given up. Thank God for that. She was starting to irritate me too. I turned a corner and saw someone that made me stop right then and there. She was seated across from the reception desk, her long, blonde hair flowing down over her shoulders. She wore a white dress that went down to her, oh god, sexy thighs. Oh, she's got nice legs. Also, she wore white boots with red trim and white gloves. I swallowed and walked over to her and sat down
"Hi"
She looked at me and smiled
"Hello"
She spoke with a beautiful French accent. Mamma mia
"How are you?"
"I'm good, thanks, uh, what about you?"
I looked at my sling and smiled at her
"Ah, it's nothing, really. So, what's your name?"
"Lili"
Her bright blue eyes lit up when she spoke. I smiled
"I'm Hwoarang"
"Were you the one in the paper who was attacked by a female fighter?"
"Yeah, that was me, as you can tell"
"Hm, I know. So, how long have you been here?"
"Only a day"
"Only a day? Wow, you must heal up pretty good"
"Yeah, oh yeah, injuries don't matter much to me. You can beat me up real good, but I'll come right back at you the next day"
"You're a fighter, right?"
"Yeah"
Lili leaned closer to me. I smiled
"So am I"
My eyes widened. I laughed and looked at her
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah, I fight alright. I like the thrill of flooring my opponents"
"Hm, so I guess you want to challenge me?"
"That and maybe more"
I cocked an eyebrow
"Alright then, well, when you want to fight, just let me know"
"Fine. You got a cell phone?"
I took it out and show it to her
"Okay then"
