The First Morning part 1
sings It's been a long time; I shouldn't have left you... Without a strong rhyme to step to; think of how many weak shows you slept through. Time's up, I'm sorry I kept you. ((I Know You Got Soul by Eric B & Rakim))
Sorry it took so long; schoolwork's been a real pain. But I wanted you all to know I'm not dead and neither is the story.

6:58
Kim laid in his bed drooling
6:59
He rolls over in his sleep
7:00
"Fate changed!
Life healed like a wound!
How does the kind of life heal
That leaves such a scar?
I cover myself, I uncover myself!!!"
Amorphis Leaves Scar
Kim woke up instantly to the music, not even turning off his alarm clock. That CD alarm clock was the best money he had ever spent. Better than those loud beepers that scratched against his eardrums as he dreamed. Jae-Hong was wearing a black T-shirt and black pants to match, his hair unkempt but still decent. Jae-Hong turned off the clock and then immediately left his dorm room and saw that King was already up, lying on the couch wearing just some sweatpants and his trademark mask. King waved at him from where he was sitting, Jae-Hong giving him a nod in return.
Jae-Hong then started up the oven up and got ready to make breakfast for his new friends. If there was anything Jae-Hong was good at, it was cooking. Jae-Hong started making scrambled eggs, soup, bacon, and grits. King smiled as the wonderful smell coursed its way through his nostrils.
Hwoarang shot out of the door, the smell of breakfast waking him up. "Who's making breakfast?" He asked, seeing that King was lying on the couch and Jin was just getting out of the bathroom, by process of elimination he came to the conclusion of Jae-Hong. Smirking, Hwoarang strode over to his fellow Korean watching the bacon sizzle. One more minute and it would be ready...
Jae-Hong was too busy focused on his cooking to say anything to Hwoarang and Jin, who had just made his way over, "It looks good." Jin complimented, actually enjoying the smell. Jin was wearing a dark blue buttoned shirt and pants, but his hair was still the same, spiky. But as Jae-Hong cooked his magnificent dish, there next door neighbors were trying to kill each other.

Dorm 303
This dorm room that was home to four people, Bryan Fury, Feng Wei, Lei Wulong, and Yoshimitsu. Needless to say, they all hated each other and were constantly fighting. Last night, Bryan stole Yoshimitsu's hat, and Feng and Lei were arguing with each other all day. Lei was training to be a cop, and Feng loved to assault people. Bryan was a maniac, and Yoshimitsu wanted to make him pay for his crimes against him.
((Yeah, stealing Yoshimitsu's straw hat has dire repercussions.))
Everything was quiet until Bryan accidentally broke his room door off its hinges. Bryan didn't know where everyone else was and he didn't give a damn. Bryan was wearing his favorite snakeskin pants, skintight black gloves, and boots. Bryan then felt another presence in the room; 'Great…' he balked in his mind. 'Note to self, buy better explosives to put in Yoshimitsu's dorm room…'
Let's see, Wulong was out running, Feng was in the weight room working out and Yoshimitsu...
"Repent your sins!" A robotic voice exclaimed, which made Bryan cringe. God how he hated the words that Yoshimitsu used, they were all so... preacher-like.
Bryan turned around, "You're really starting to piss me off ya know." He grumbled as he cracked his knuckles. Bryan then eased into a fighting stance, Yoshimitsu preparing his sword for a killing strike. The two of them stood silently, waiting for the moment to advance on the other. Until, there was a knock on the door…
Yoshimitsu glowered at Bryan, knowing already that he would have to answer the door himself. Bryan smirked and put his hands down, "Boy scout…" He muttered and watched as Yoshimitsu made his way to the door, seeing that he wasn't taking his eyes off of him... smart move.
Yoshimitsu opened the door and saw that it was Lei Wulong, "Hello Wulong, how are you today?" Yoshimitsu greeted, still keeping his eyes on Fury. Lei saw that the two were staring each other down and sided beside the cyborg ninja. Bryan cursed under his breath, he didn't need this frustration so early in the morning and he wanted his breakfast.
"Ah screw it, I'm gonna go out and get some breakfast or something..." Bryan muttered and walked by the two as if they were completely negligible. The two then smelled a pleasing aroma from the other room; it was divine to say the least. Lei smiled at Yoshimitsu and gave him a look that said 'wanna go over?'
Yoshimitsu confirmed it with a nod and the two walked over to the next room, following the sweet scent.

"Of all the idiots I had to be paired up with, it had to be these three..." A man hissed, irritated beyond all belief. This man was the son of the principle, Kazuya Mishima. Typically, Kazuya was given the screw job; his roommates were Eddy Gordo, a man that wanted him dead because he stole something from him back in high school, Paul Phoenix, an idiot that always wanted to fight him, and Craig Marduk, nominee for the biggest idiot next to Paul.
Kazuya noticed that Paul and Craig were stupid trash talk contest, and Eddy was giving him the death glare. Yeah, he needed to get the hell out of this place. Maybe get some breakfast or something...
Kazuya had already showered, he didn't want be in the bathroom after any of his roommates, they'd probably leave it in an uproar. Kazuya quickly put on a fancy long-sleeved black collar shirt with decorative purple designs, black dress pants and dress shoes. Kazuya had a sense of fashion, when he went out he had to go out in style. Kazuya quietly left the dorm and made his way towards the elevator near the end of the hall, making sure that he wasn't being followed by Eddy.
Kazuya noticed that Bryan was in the elevator, staring at him dully. Sure, they didn't like each other, but they didn't hate each other either. For the most part they just stayed out of each others way which was good enough for the both of them. The two just stared at each other, not exchanging a word, one of those types of conversations.
Kazuya noticed that the elevator stopped at the 2nd floor, 'Great…' Kazuya thought as the elevator opened and revealed the two outside.
'Just great…'
"Hi Bryan!" One of the girls said in a happy voice that made Bryan grimace. The voice belonged to Ling Xiaoyu, the energetic girl that constantly got on his nerves. As Xiaoyu annoyed the cyborg with a barrage of everyday questions, the other girl walked in and said nothing to anyone. The other girl was Julia Chang, a beautiful yet quiet girl that usually kept to herself in the company of boys. She was intelligent though, which gained her some respect among the guys... 'Some' of them anyway...
Kazuya glanced at the floor meter moving slowly much to his dismay. It was gonna be a long way down...

Dorm 302 was in the middle of enjoying the splendid breakfast that Jae-Hong made. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Kim decided to get the door this time, walking up to it and turning the knob. When Kim opened the door, he almost had a heart attack when he saw the guest; Yoshimitsu's evil looking armor scared the crap out of him.
"Greetings neighbor," Yoshimitsu began in a robotic voice, "I was wondering if you would be so kind as to share your breakfast with us?" Yoshimitsu asked, acknowledging Lei's presence as well.
Jae-Hong moved out of the way and invited them in, using hand gestures to tell them to help themselves. As the other five finished up their breakfast, Jae-Hong went into the bathroom to take a shower.
But it was at this point that he realized how much he missed his family already. Here he was in Japan, and they were still in South Korea. As the warm water tapped his skin, he began to daydream about everything; showers had that effect on him.
He thought about how he would get along with the other students at this university. More specifically that one he saw outside. Suddenly, Kim felt like going outside and getting some fresh air. He finished washing and turned the knob, discontinuing the daydreaming liquid. Jae-Hong then quickly brushed his teeth, put on a towel and made his way to his room.
Kim then put on a red shirt, black baggy pants and shoes and left the dorm... not knowing what he was about to get himself into...

As soon as the elevator reached the 1st floor, Bryan dashed out of there like a bat out of hell. He had been asked enough questions to last him a lifetime, he was impressed at how long Ling could rant. Ling ran off behind Bryan following him to find a good place to have breakfast, Julia walked calmly out of the elevator, Kazuya behind her. "Well that was enjoyable." Kazuya spat, sarcasm smearing the sentence. Julia just sighed, inwardly relieved that she didn't have to listen to Xiaoyu rant on anymore.
Kazuya stared at Julia for a moment, wanting to say something, but cogitating on why he wanted to. "Julia," he began coldly, getting the beautiful girl's attention.
"Yes, what is it?" Julia asked, wondering why Kazuya wanted to talk to her. When she thought about it, she and Kazuya never had a conversation before. In fact, they didn't know anything about each other.
Kazuya was thinking the same thing and 90 of him didn't care to know about her, "Do you want a ride? I know a place where the food's almost edible." He offered, and judging by his tone it was the only offer he would ever give.
Julia glanced at him for a minute; amazed inside that he was actually trying to be nice. "Sure." She answered with a shrug. 'Who knows, it might be fun.' She thought as she followed Kazuya into his Black Mercedes.
To be cont.
