Mysterious Dream

She turned and twisted around on her bed as she was trying to make out the figure of the person standing away from her.She gasped for air as those eyes burnt into hers trying to reach for her soul. It was then that Asuka awoke and listened….

Screams were coming from downstairs, and she could hear what resembled the kiaps of two men.

Painfully and slowly tearing herself up from her bed, and making her way down through the stairs, Asuka found her way in the dojo.

It was there that she remembered, after seeing Hwoarang, the accident, her father dead in her arms, and a Devil…

This recollection of memories was too much for Asuka, and the realisation that the world around her had changed for ever, was too great for her to handle, and Asuka fainted again.

On the other side of the dojang, Hwoarang and Baek stopped their daily practice of Tae Kwon Do after hearing a loud thump on the floor. Hwoarang watched in awe and noticed Asuka strewn on the floor, and for the first time, he really admired this girl, she had been able to force herself through the length which separated the dojang and his own bedroom, with her body in such wretched conditions.

As he proceeded to lift the girl and take Asuka back to his room, Hwoarang couldn't help but feel pity for this girl. Her beautiful face was severely affected by the previous night, a look of sadness and angst now disgraced her face, blood had started to come out again of her split lip, and the fact that she had hit her head, and now the left side of her temple had turned violet and puffy had its part in the disfiguration of this beauty, but nonetheless Hwoarang himself knew that these are things which will pass with time, but what will lie forever in her heart will be entrapped there for eternity.

Back to training, Hwoarang now had turned angry, he hated Jin Kazama with all of his energies, how could he have killed Asuka's father right infront of her, he was just an insensible rich boy who had everything from life, whilst Hwoarang had been struggling to survive by himself, day by day, until he met Baek that is.

Baek had given Hwoarang a sense of justice and a sense of belonging, and thus it begun, Hwoarang had created his own gang, and he hustled each day to get money form the corrupt strangers who came to his homeland looking for a fight. These were the men he hated most, rich guys who wanted everything they wanted from anyone they wanted, Hwoarang had risked of being their target many times, but the then young Blood Talon always managed to free himself from that filthy world. Now Jin Kazama had resurfaced these feelings, and his anger rose to a pitch.

Baek fell to the floor; he had just received the most powerful side-kick Hwoarang had ever produced. The blow to his stomach was unendurable even for the sage master. It was then that he looked in Hwoarang's eyes and saw the fire of revenge burning.

Hwoarang was still enraged; he left without a word, to find his gang. He jumped on his Suzuki road-bike. Written on this precious bike was the whole meaning he had to life 'Live Let Die', meaning 'live your life as if you cared only for yourself, even if it means disrespecting others'. Sometimes a rich kid looking for a fight fell victim of Hwoarang, in the older times he wouldn't hurt them too much, but now, the hatred he locked inside his heart for all that time rekindled, anyone who crossed the Blood Talon's rage that day, was sure to go in for the toughest fight in his life.

Asuka woke up to find a jacket about her size draped over the end of her bed and she wondered "How then heck did that get there?" Asuka sat there for two minutes admiring the jacket and then decided to put it on. It was a perfect fit and it had a angel surrounded by fire holding a pitch fork and the words 'let me live' inscribed above it and below it a or else. She realised the air around her was chilly, so she opted to wear that jacket.

Following this she went down the stairs and saw a tall yet old Korean man practising Tae Kwon Do then she recognised him immediately as Baek, Hwoarang's master. She excitedly ran up to him and tapped him on the shoulder when she received a kick to the face which she easily blocked and used his momentum against him to floor him.

"Now honestly Asuka was that needed?"

"No you attacked so I defended myself" she said and complimented herself on a excellent answer "where is Hwoarang?"

"He left after winding me and he looked like he was angry because of your injuries your cousin gave you?"

"Injuries!"she felt her face and they were no signs of cuts, scratches and jagged holes "well you have been unconscious for 2 days."

"I'm going to find Hwoarang and when I do I will bring him back here!"

"Nice jacket" Baek said randomly.

"Jerk". Asuka quickly got in her fathers car and drove off around the neighbourhood. Halfway round she saw Hwoarang launch into a jumping sidekick back kick drop kick on a slightly bewildered Bruce Irvin. Bruce fell backwards stumbling on the floor, and said "You'll pay for this, pretty girl" which in term made Hwoarang mad and he attacked with so much ferocity that he reduced Bruce to a mangled, bloody pulp.

As Hwoarang went to finish him off Asuka quickly and gracefully dived in the way and caught his foot and set him down gently onto he floor to give him a verbal beating "Hwoarang why did you do that to Bruce?"

"He called me a pretty girl so I had to."

"Hwoarang you are a young master of Tae Kwon Do and in many martial arts you are taught to put aside emotions and ignore crude comments and you have done the exact opposite and beat this man to a pulp." Asuka said like a mother scolding a five year old.

"Yea" said Bruce throwing a arm round Asuka's shoulder "you tell him babe"

"BABE!" Asuka screeched and grabbed his arm and quickly down a falling rain throw which threw him into the air and she finished it off with a spinning heel drop which sent poor Bruce flying into a nearby fence "come on Hwoa lets go back to the dojo" and with that they left a slightly beaten Bruce to find his way home.
