"Hidden Within"

Chapter 2 - The plan.

Hwoarang flew and flew. He was confused with his emotions. He loved the power that he now possessed but he missed being the pimp street fighter as well. He finally landed. Shifting back to normal wasn't an easy task for the hot head, but he managed. He moved up to his apartment and walked in. He saw an eviction notice on the door, but ignored it, muttering.

"Stupid asshole" Of course referring to the owner of the apartment complex. He slammed the door shut. He went straight for the shower. Hwoarang stripped down and checked out his back. There were two small scar lines from the wings emerging, but hey didn't hurt. He flashed himself a half grin in the mirror. He was so vain, admiring himself silently until a certain female popped in his mind.

He stepped into the shower letting the warm water cleanse his body. He closed his eyes and once again she was there. Those honey brown eyes, her long brown hair, her perfect round, but long face. She's so beautiful He though.

"Julia..." Left his lips, then he jolted himself and his eyes opened. Why am I thinking of her? He thought but dismissed it as he finished cleansing his body.

Julia and Jin got to their feet and went inside.

"We have a problem." Jin said as Julia helped him inside. Dr. B moved over to help get Jin seated.

"Well, what is it?" Dr. B asked.

"Its Hwoarang.." Julia said. at this point Cristie stood up.

"What about him?" She seemed worried but more angry about it. Julia raised a brow and turned toward Cristie. Julia hated girls like her. Cristie was so young and unknowing of guys in general. Julia was 22, when Cristie seemed to have just turned 18 within the last few months. Julia narrowed her eyes slightly to Cristie then started to explain.
"Jin and Hwoarang had been fighting. I don't know if it was a spar or not-"

"No." Jin said ruggedly, holding his side.

"O.K. They were fighting and I stopped Hwoarang from hurting Jin any more than he had. Suddenly Hwoarang transformed into..." Julia just couldn't bring herself to say it so Jin did.

"Devil..." Jin's voice was still rugged, deep, and pissed. Julia glanced to Dr. B.

"I thought Ms. Kazama had taken care of that?" Dr. B said. Jun stepped up from the rest of them to Kazuya's body.

"It resides only to find a new host, and as for my son."

She glance over to him.

" His wings may be black, but his heart is pure..." Her words seemed to calm Jin as he glanced up to Jun and took Julia's hand.

Jus then Kazuya's eyes shot open and looked around a bit, only to land on Jun's face.
"Jun" He muttered. He loved her. He always did, but the evil in him wouldn't allow him to show her and after her death he just became even more bitter.

"Rest now." She said softly as he closed his eyes and relaxed.

Hwoarang got dressed and moved out to sit in his trashed living room. He wore a simple pair of blue denims and a white cotton form fitting T-shirt. He sat and started to think of a plan. He wanted Julia, no doubt.

" No. God damn it!" He tried to end his desire for her, but it just came back to him. He wanted her so damn bad. It was a physical attraction mainly. Watching her walk, watching her fight, remembering the mess at his doorstep before Kazama attacked. She was well proportioned, more so evenly proportioned. Apparently I paid more attention to her than I thought. The memory of him saving her butt at the lab popped in his mind. I wonder if she'd fall into me. Well, certainly not with Kazama in the way. He needed help. He made a few phone calls and out the door he went.

Finally it was dark again. The carrot top walked into the club where he was so well known. Instantly there was of the girls he used before hanging all over him until he shoved her back away from him.

"Get the hell off me, Whore!" He said as he shoved her away from him. He was here for a business, not pleasure. He walked to 'his' table and there sat a man with longer blond hair, left hanging at his shoulders, the other was of Chinese decent.

"Marshall Law and Paul phoenix." Hwoarang smiled with pride then took a seat across from them . Paul spoke up first.

" So you want us to help .... you, take out that Kazama fruit?"

"No..." Hwoarang replied and continued
" I want you to help me kidnap his girlfriend... Julia Chang."
Paul and Marshal looked at one another then back to Hwoarang.

"What?!" They both said together.

" Are you... out of your mind?!" Marshall said.
"Not exactly..." Hwoarang hadn't really been paying attention for he'd noticed a new face in 'his club'. The guy's hair was pushed back and was a little spiky and blond. His printed shirt make him look a little faggish, but the three ladies hanging all over him didn't seem to mind.

Hwoarang glanced back to the other two.
"Who's he?" Hwoarang asked, while being a little pissed off and jealous.
"The kid in the corner?" Paul asked

"Yea.."
" His name's Steve Fox, he's a boxer"
"Any good?"" Hwoarang asked.

"From what I've heard... Yeah..."
"I'll contact you guy's later.. Thanks.."
Hwoarang stood up and glanced around seeing a topless waitress walk by him. He stopped her.

"See the blond back there?" He pointed

"Yes... What about him?"

"Tell him to meet me outside, now. I have an offer for him."

He lightly pushed her off and went outside. A few minutes later. Steve came out and lit up a cigarette. Hwoarang reached up and yanked the cigarette from his lips.
"Shouldn't smoke, its' bad for you" Hwoarang smirked. Steve glared at him.

"Hey man, What's your deal?!" Steve asked

"My deal? Doesn't matter.. its up to you... What's your deal? C'mon Stevo... What's your price?"

Steve was confused.

"What the fuck?"

"What do you want? Cars, money, sex, drugs, What is it?"

"Uh..." Steve scratched the back of his head..

"I don't know... guess I just wanna be happy."

"Well, what makes you happy?"

" Nothing any more, really..."
"Why's that?"

Steve shot a glare at Hwoarang, who merely raised his brows with a smile while taking a drag off of HIS cigarette

"Why are you asking me?
"Because I need your help. Now...why aren't you happy?"

Steve was nervous to tell him why.

" All right... .all right.. My girl left me... That's why."

"Who's your girlfriend?"

" Her name is Cristie Monteiro"

Hwoarang raised a brow.

"She a dancer?"

Steve grinned a bit.

"Yeah.. a damn good one too..."

Hwoarang was a little disgusted at this point, but he covered himself well...

" Well I can help you get your girl back, Stevo... "

"How!?" Steve snapped his attention to Hwoarang.

" Well you see there's a girl I'm after, her name is Julia Chang... Think you could help me out?"

" Anything to get Cristie back...."
