Tai'an - China - 21:23pm - 13/05/2013

"Mingyu, please, listen to me. These girls are my friends and are just older than me, how could you ever think that I'd..." However, Mingyu wouldn't listen. Eliot frowned. His Chinese friend was awfully stubborn and when he would explain, well, try, to explain, she'd look away from him and scowl.

A recap on what is going on, Mingyu wasn't really happy to see Andra, Leifang and Hitomi, in the same room as Eliot. Especially when she caught them hugging. Eliot, oblivious of her feelings for him and knowing his extremely jealous friend, has tried to explain since they were caught. Leifang, as mentioned didn't like Mingyu, Hitomi even less, and Andra would glare at her murderously if she looked her way. She hated her and when she wasn't looking, she spat an ugly name at her in Latin.

Mingyu, on her side hated the three of them, particularly Hitomi because she took the attention from Eliot a lot.

"Mingyu..." Eliot almost whined. Mingyu just scowled at the wall. Eliot called her again, she still didn't look away. Annoyed by her childishness, Leifang pulled Eliot away.

"Let her stare at the wall. If she wants to be a bitch then let her!" Leifang spat. The British martial artist was horrified by her language and tensed when Mingyu turned around, her face red with anger.

"Me? A bitch? Look who's talking! At least, I'm not a slut that goes around and sleeps with every man she sees!" Mingyu snapped. Hitomi heard everything and almost ran to the door to stop her friend, from punching the younger girl. Leifang didn't though; Mingyu slapped her instead. Hard.

'Oh, poo...' Hitomi thought, face-palming.

Andra was cracking up, holding her stomach as Leifang and Mingyu yelled profanities at each other in Chinese. 'And I thought that Leifang could barely do a thing! Little people do make a big difference!' She thought, still laughing. But even through her laughter, she couldn't help but worry about Bloody Lolita. She kept glowing red whenever Mingyu was around and she did notice how Hitomi's eyes changed to black when she was staring at her. This was bad. 'Mingyu couldn't be...' Then she shook her head.

"Um...Andra, right?"

Andra blinked, then turned to Hitomi with suspicious eyes. Hitomi was looking down to the floor with intent, her cheeks turning a lovely shade of red. 'She is truly beautiful. The prophecy said she would be.' She thought with a small smile.

"Thanks for saving Leifang and I. We...I don't know how you got us out, but you did. Thank you. Very much." Hitomi added, finally looking up.

"It's nothing. I'll do it again, gladly if I have to." Andra said, instantly regretting her words. Hitomi eyed her curiously.

"How did you get us out? I didn't remember getting out of the plane...?" She stated. Andra stared at her again, watching her light blue eyes fill with curiosity. She couldn't believe that it was her. Innocence in person. Andra sighed. She had to tell her now. Or else they would find her again and The Prophecy...

"Hitomi. You have to listen, I am not just who you think I am. I'm not just some woman in black." She took a deep breath,"I am..." Her sentence was cut short when a shriek of surprise cut through the air. Giving a glance to each other, they ran to the door, where Leifang was pointing to a man with spiky dark brown hair, similar to hers. Hitomi blinked at the man.

"Jann Lee?" She said. Jann Lee tore his eyes off Leifang and smiled at Hitomi,

"Hey, Hitomi."

Leifang stomped her heel in annoyance,"enough with the goody-goody! What is he doing here?!"

Ayane was getting more and more impatient on her plane. She scowled at the flight attendant who did a fake smile to her. The ninja she took with her found other ways to travel to China, since they knew Ayane could be moody sometimes... Ayane herself agreed to everything. She didn't want to be with them. She was closed off and reserved, rarely talked to men, except Master Hayate, Master Ryu and Master Shiden. Occasionally other male Dead Or Alive Competitors, but only barely.

'Barely?' A voice inside her asked. 'Are you sure?'

An image of sparkling blue eyes came into her mind. It took all the kunoichi's willpower to force it away. She couldn't allow herself to think that way. But...It was just hormones. That was human, every young adults had hormones.

But again, she was a ninja. She wasn't allowed to be too human.

A ninja was to be inhumane. Powerful, heartless, cold, fast, or else it just wasn't them. Even if hormones made her think of some things with Master Hayate, she knew she had to be relevant and forget about him.

And his damn beautiful eyes.

"Dear passengers, we are now at Tai'an, China. The weather is about sixteen degrees and the time is ten-twenty-two pm. We hope you enjoyed your flight with us..." The voice said in the microphone. Ayane scowled when a little boy who passed by was staring at her light purple hair. He had eventually looked away, but just remembering his shocked and curious face made her slightly angry.

It was time, though. She had to know if she had died or not. She didn't believe until she saw.

'You better not be dead, Hitomi. Or else, I'll come right in your tombstone and strangle your corpse.' She thought.

By giving one last glare to the fake-smiling flight attendant, she grabbed her dark purple backpack and left the plane. She snickered when the same little boy tripped over his feet and kissed the floor.

Jann Lee was happily chatting away with Hitomi, who laughed at some of his bad jokes, while Leifang was fuming. Eliot just watched the scene with amusement in his eyes. Mingyu was glaring at Leifang while Andra stared daggers at her back. Mei Lin was busy playing with a doll barely her size. Annoyed by their happiness, Leifang rudely interrupted the two friends.

"Well? You still haven't told us why you're here?" Leifang asked, annoyed. Jann Lee rolled his eyes.

"I come here sometimes. The old man asked me to help Eliot train, for him to focus," he turned to look at Mei Lin,"and to take care of the little one over here." Mei Lin smiled shyly at him while he smiled softly. Leifang almost smiled too, until she realised that she was still annoyed.

"That's it? What's in it for you?" Leifang asked, frowning.

Jann Lee glared at her,"is it bad for a person to do something nice for nothing?"

"No, but still..." Leifang mumbled. Hitomi watched them with envy. 'They're perfect for each other. Even if they bicker like a married couple, they still secretly care about each other, without showing it.' She wished she had that relationship with Hayate. At least a relationship. She sighed internally. Fate decided for them to just not be together. At least that's what she thought.

As she watched her friends bicker like children, she couldn't help but feel the tug at her heart.

But then she realised, it wasn't just a tug. Her heart was beating faster and faster, she started to struggle for breath. She tried to scream, but no sound came out of her throat. That's when she realised.

She was having a heart attack.
