Akira was staring at the pale moonlight by the window not expecting anybody there. He was thinking of what he saw earlier. Just then, he saw Jun Kazama head for the forest.
Akira: Odd.
Aoi: What is?
Aki: Jin's mom's heading for the forest.
Aoi: At this hour? Why?
Aki: I don't know, but that's what we're gonna find out.
-
Jun rushed to the clearing in her robes. No branch nor spiny, torny bush can stop her. When she reached the clearing, Ukyo, crouching, was holding Akuma's forehead, emitting green energy from the grassy earth to his whole body to Akuma's. He was starting to look human. Jun noticed Jin and hurried over. She performed her script from her Tag ending. She touched Jin's forehead and he turned back to normal. Unknown to them, two pairs of eyes were watching. After she was finished with Jin,  she started on his bruises. Ukyo stopped, sitting on the earth.
Jun: You alright?
Ukyo: Yes...a bit tired but I'm fine. Ahh...why I had to be a guardian, I don't know.
Jun: That's because you're strong, Ukyo. I can only attend to Jin because he's half human. He's full demon. You had your experiences with demons. You fit the job, especially since he's "Lucy's" very special son.
Ukyo: But he's not my only problem. I have a roomfull of demons to attend to. But, you're right, he is the most dangerous one. I'm glad he had an angel for a sister to contradict him. I mean, if he was evil...probably a cheesy character...(sigh) the night is envying me with it subtle winds and perfect darkness, yet I cannot sleep without worrying if I'd still be able to wake up tomorrow.
Jun chuckled as he went back on Akuma. Meanwhile, Akira and Aoi heard everything. In low voices, they talked.
Akira: I still can't believe it. They let a very powerful, the most powerful demon to walk around like that? Even with his tendency to lose control at times? We HAVE to leave this place as soon as possible. Not that I'm scared, but we shouldn't mess with such beings! This game is too much! I cannot accept their wrecklessness. They didn't even inform us some of them were demons themselves!
Aoi: Yes, we have to leave immediately, but our home isn't finished yet. Best thing to do is to warn the others so that they would be aware of the dangers and stay away from them. Who knows who else is a demon?
Ukyo finally turned Akuma to his semi-human form. Akira and Aoi slipped off before Ukyo and Jun left carrying both bodies back to the hotel.

Bad influence
Hwoarang woke up to the sound of Pai vomitting in the bathroom. He rushed to her, catching her in her pink robe bent over the toilet. She looked very battered.
Hwo: You all right?
Pai: NO! I feel heavy, my head is swirling, I want to-
She turned back to the bowl and vomitted. Hwoarang kneeled over and ran his hand over her back.
Hwo: Man you look like shit.
Pai: It's your fault! You dared me! You-
She turned back to the bowl.
Hwo: Hey! I didn't force you. You accepted it...Want some water?
A slight nod and he was off. As he got back, someone knocked at their door. He shouted from the bathroom.
Hwo: Get in!
Aoi: Pai?
Hwo: In here!
Aoi went to the bathroom. She was shocked to see Pai so miserable and messy as she gulped down the glass of water. She hurried over and helped her.
Aoi: What happened?
Hwo: Too much alcohol.
Aoi: What? She doesn't drink.
Hwo: She did yesterday, a great deal.
Aoi looked at him, but he only looked at Pai. Finally, she stopped, to Aoi and Hwoarang's relief. Aoi pulled her towards herself. She carressed her as Pai began to sniff. She weakly spoke to them, holding her head.
Pai: Please help me to my room.
Hwo: Here, I'll carry her there.
Aoi darted at him madly. Hwoarang wondered why, since he hardly met her.
Hwo: I don't think you can carry her-
Aoi: Don't touch her!
She slapped his hand with her fan. Hwoarang snorted at her.
Hwo: You are a Virtua Fighter, aren't you? Look, you plan to force her to walk? Even with you supporting her, you'd wobble your way there.
Aoi was lost for words, though she still eyed on him. Nevertheless, she gave her to him. He scooped her up and brough her to her room, Aoi's eyes almost going beserk over them.
-
Akira knocked on Jacky and Sarah's door. No answer. He knocked harder. No answer still. He was about to leave when he heard a muffled voice from within the room. He opened it to find Jacky backing at the counter, Anna Williams standing VERY close to him, arms wrapped around his neck. Her left foot was raised towards him. Jacky quickly pushed her away. His eyes narrowed at Akira and he turned red as a tomato. Anna Williams looked annoyed, though, as if Akira was cutting in her favorite TV show.
Aki: Er...Jacky...when your done-
Jac: NOTHING HAPPENED, OK? That...was...er...Anna get out!
Ann: Hmph
She walked off but before finally disappearing, she turned at him, winked and gave him a flying kiss. Jacky's color was returning, but he was still jumpy, feeling very awkward being caught in such a situation.
Aki: Er...what-
Jac: End it! What were you gonna tell me?
Aki: Ah, right. Where's your sister?
Jac: ...mmmowt...ssnatng...nna...
Aki: What?
Jac: Shs...asntng...nna...
Aki: WHAT?
JAC: SHE'S GONE ASSASSINATING WITH NINA!!!
Akira didn't know what got him thunderstruck, Jacky's voice or the news about Sarah.
Aki: ASSASSINATING?
Jac: Yeah! You heard me right! Nina Williams asked for help and Sarah was enthusiastic about the idea. I didn't want her to go, but she threatened to run away! What was I suppose to do?
Aki: My gawd! The situation here is getting worst! Jacky, there's gonna be a VF meeting tonight at the basement. Be there, it's urgent!
Akira rushed off, determination filling his eyes.
-
Aoi: Why?
Van (Sitting on the end of a table, looking at some papers): Because, for the 100th time, I'm busy with this case. It's very interesting-
Aoi: Is a Tekken Fighter's life more important than our future?!
Van: No, but a life is more important than a meeting.
Lei from his mini office: Vanessa! Come quick! Take a look at this!
Van: Excuse me, duty calls.
Aoi: You are poisoned. They poisoned your mind, just like the others...
Van (From the mini office): You said something? No? Doors over there. Come back later, this is quite confidencial.
Aoi stormed out the room, burying her nails in her palm in anger.
-
Jun: Jin?
Jin: Mm-mom?
Jun: How are you feeling, dear?
Jin: Terrible. AKUMA! (Sits up) Where's Akuma? I-
Jun: He's alright, dear. Just needed some rest then he jumped off at once. He's very quick to recover, I tell you. It amuses me. I believe
Ukyo assigned a job for him.
Jin: Oh...(sigh) He recovers that fast? Unlike me...I'm so weak...
Jun: Jin! No! You are not weak!
Jin: But look, I didn't even control myself. I stupid and weak that I made Akuma turn too! I could've caused major destruction! The only reason I'm strong is because of my demon...
Jun: JIN NO! You are one of the strongest fighters there is, and I'm proud of you. You are strong, but you haven't gained your best, that's all. Nothing some training and practice wouldn't solve. You were foolish not to ask for our help, but definately not stupid. As for the demon...doesn't Ukyo have a repelling energy from evil? Then why can't he hurt you? No Jin, this demon is sleeping within you. He isn't you.
Jin: What about Akuma?
Jun: Jin, Akuma's a devil, but he isn't THAT evil, is he? You are demons only when you both let that evil overcome you. And to overcome such evil, you must have confidence on yourself. That's why he didn't lock you both up, because he believes and trusts you both that YOU WILL overcome the evil force, just as I believe in you ("and your father" she thought).
Jin lifted his head and looked at his mother. She smiled sweetly and hugged him tight. Jin felt a hundred times enlightened.
Jin: Err...mom?
Jun: Yeas dear?
Jin: Err...can you help me? I...erm...want to ask Hazuki to the ball.
Jun: Oh, now were talking serious business!

The Virtua Fighter Liberation Front
The basement was dark, cold and spidery. Clouds of dust covered the whole room. Empty crates lay on the sides and a single, unlit torch hung by the wall. It was usually empty, but today, some of the Virtua Fighters came down. Some didn't make it, like Pai, who was actually fine already but Aoi thought best to leave her out for now. She'll just talk with her later.  Lau was too tired after a cooking competition between him and Law (He was suppose to attend but the gas suddenly disappeared before the match. They had to order new ones, so they started late). Sarah hasn't returned stil; Jacky got anxious and went out looking for her. Vanessa was stuck with her case.  Lei-Fei, no idea where he is. Last time they saw him was when he asked Jacky to borrow his lighter to light up his incense in the temple to pray to Buddha, which he reasoned out why he couldn't attend.
Lei-Fei: The Enlightened one does not need such foolishness to bring light. We have our ways, even if it means sacrifice.
Aoi: Sacrifice? You just don't want to come, do you?
Wolf was cramming in the gym working out, preparing for the match. Shun Di was too drunk (and so was Wang) to come. Only Kage-Maru, Lion Rafale, Jeffrey Mcwild, Aoi and Akira Yuki were able to attend the meeting (some gathering!). Lion held a flashlight as they went down the basement. When they got there, Aoi lit the torch and they gathered around. Soon, Akira told them about the Devil Jin/Akuma incident.
Lion: I knew it! I knew it! That Jin is no good ("especially for Xiaoyu")!
Jef: This is insane! And I thought my only problem was the devil shark!
Kag: Hmm...
Aoi: Yes and that's not all. They are poisoning our fellow fighters minds!
She told them everything from Pai getting drunk to Vanessa's obssession with a Tekken related case.
Akm: Mission Impassable! Dan-dan-danandan-dan-dan...
Unknown to them, special correspondent Akuma the Werecat a.k.a "Blacksheep" and ex-special operations division's Hwoarang were cooped up in a small vent listening to them. Hwoarang was wearing his army suit, though his hair was long. Akuma was holding his recordable. They talked in whispers
Akuma : You drunk her?
Hwo: She accepted a dare, damnit!
Akm: And you nursed her? You care for her?
Hwo: So? I...just didn't want any puke in the toilet!
Akm: But you do care for her, don't you?
Hwo: NO I DON'T!
Akm: Uhuh (yet in an even lower tone) Tenenenenenan...
Hwo: Shut up you-!
Akm: Shh!
Aoi: -And they are manipulating their minds! We must free them from the grasps of the evil force!
Aki: I shall use my martial arts to defend the rightous and free our innocent companions who are victims of the dark one!
Akuma and Hwoarang rolled their eyes.
Akm: Oh yeah, and I'm Yoda. (Imitating his voice) I sense much fear in you...
Lio (Standing up from the crate he was sitting on): THAT'S RIGHT! And I will also free the slaves from their blind trance! (He was still thinking of Xioayu).
Kage: I shall stop all this robotnics, which is the cause of my mothers sufferings!
Jef (Standing up from the crate he was sitting on): Count me in!!!
They all sound very heroic, which was making our spies sick.
Aki: We shall liberate all from the power of darkness with our superior Martial arts!
Aoi: Yes! For we are (Those something like a sailormoon transformation as she opened her fan)...THE VIRTUA FIGHTER LIBERATION FRONT! (Ching!)
Hwoarang and Akuma, who's faces were already twisted, looked at each other.
A+H: Virtua Fighter Liberation Front?

Homura
Hwoarang was walking back to their room when he heard Lee Chaolan talking on the phone. He didn't care much and he wasn't an eavesdropper like Akuma, but he heard these words.
Lee: ...totaly burned...almost hurt myself...even my blouse is smokey...didn't cause much damage, though...
Hwoarang went straight up their room. Pai was watching Chinese movies (one of which she starred in).
Hwo: Mind watching something else?
Pai: You wait! I was here first.
Hwoarang snorted as he entered the his bedroom, thinking some loud, rock music would soothe him. But before he can enter...
Pai: Um...Hwoarang?
Hwo: Yeah, what?
Pai: ...thanks for nursing me this morning...
Hwo: ...Yeah, sure...whatever...
Hwoarang closed the door. He could swear he could hear Akuma taunting "Tenenenenenan...!"
-
Akuma dashed to Ukyo's office the next morning.
Akm: Boy Ukyo, do I have a surprise for you-
Ukyo: But how? And who? And why?...Yes, but how long, I mean the damage...tsk! Tsk! Ahhhh...I want every progress reported to me, alright? I'll tell them now.
Ukyo hung the phone and passed by Akuma like a draft.
Akm: Hey, wait up!
-
The breakfast hall was consumed with noises. But when Ukyo entered in his robes and blue bunny slippers, all were silent. It was a sign of something important, since if it wasn't Ukyo would take a long time in the mirror, and showing his blue bunny slippers to the public was the last thing he'd do. He cleared his throat and spoke.
Ukyo: I have some very alarming news. Please, I assure you, especially the Virtua Fighters, it's nothing too serious, well...kinda...
Silence
Ukyo: As you may know, the VF building is still underconstruction, but WAS nearing its completion. Unfortunately...someone tried to burn it down.
Whispers and murmurs everywhere (Though some, like Kazuya, were unconcerned). Ukyo held a hand up to stop all the incoming queries.
Ukyo: It's still under investigation. According to the constructors, it will take yet another month to finish the building now.
Rage upon rage flowed, some fighters of both games going mad. Though not all, especially Lee, who had a wide grin on his face. Hwoarang saw this and became suspicious.
Ukyo: I assure you, we are doing the very best we could. Er...So, instead of the ball taking place there, it will take place here...at least we don't have to ride on Lee's car hehe...ehem...Please, do not worry yourselves. It is nothing that should concerns you a great deal. Go on with your lives here for now.
The battle had just risen to a higher level. But it's not until the match is over will things heat up...
-
"Could it possibly be Lee?" Hwoarang pondered as he lay on his bed, his radio turned off. Now that the situation had risen, he wished he did eavesdrop. "Probably to prolong Pai Chan's stay." He knew he was suppose to be angry about that, but quite the contrary, he actually felt...happy about it. "What the hell's gotten into me? Shit, I should go out more when I get the chance" It was 8:30 PM. He stood up, stashed his money and went out his bedroom. Pai was talking with someone on the phone.
Pai: Yeah...but...Lee! Ok, I admit, I like the idea of staying a bit longer...
Hwoarang stopped dead on his tracks.
Hwo: Hang the phone.
Pai: Excuse me?
Hwo: Hang the phone!
Pai: Hwoarang? What-
Hwo: HANG THE FUCKING PHONE!!!
He snatched the cord, took his blade out his ass pocket and cut it.
Pai: WHAT YOU DO THAT FOR?
Hwo: Shut up, it's for your own safety.
Pai: What do you mean? Really, your rudeness-
Hwo: You don't know that asshole! He gets what he wants in any way he can! Next thing you know, he'll abduct you-
Pai: What's it to you?! Huh? You'd probably rejoice if he did! And I thought you said the rules here are you-don't-care-about-others?
Hwo: Rules change, Pai! You're in our teritory, so you listen to me! I know things that go around here and I know all these son of a bitches better than you! So shut up and listen to every damn word I say!
Pai meant to slap him, but she turned away and ran to her room sobbing.
Hwo: Pai-wait-ahhh gawd!
"I don't even know why I care..." he thought as he went out. Then, again, Akuma's annoying voice banged him "But you do care for her, don't you?" Hwoarang turns to the camera.
Hwo: Why does he keep popping up in my head? Sheesh, I need to see a doctor!
Akm (In a distant tone): You should have done that a long time ago-ago-ago...
Hwo: Fuck you!
Akm: Fuck you too...too...too...

The Dating Game
Jin: Err...h-hi Haz...
Hazuki who was planting flowers turned to see an unusual Jin. His head was bowed, he was gripping his hands and was shaking a bit. His voice was shacky too, and his face was red.
Haz: Oh, hi Jin. Something wrong? You look...red...
Jin: Uh...don't mind it...um, Haz...er...do you...I mean...
Haz: What is it?
Hazuki looked at him with innocent eyes which made him even more shaky.
Jin: Er...can I...I mean...d-do you have a date for the ball already?
Haz: Um, no, no one asked me yet.
Jin: GOOD!-I mean-oh. Well...then...c-can...cnbemyrdt?
Haz: Excuse me?
Jin: Cnbemyrdt...?
Haz: Um, Jin, don't eat the words. I can't understand.
Jin turned his back on her. He sighed and let out all the steam buildig within him. She confusingly stared at him. "This is it" he thought "There's no point in turning back". He  breathed in, summoned all his courage, turn around and asked her.
Jin: Haz, c-can you b-be my date for the b-ball?
Hazuki dropped the seeds in her hands. Jin saw her blush as she giggled.
Haz: Um, alright! I'll go with you.
Jin: GREAT!-I mean-thanks. Uh, yeah, I still have to...do some stuff. Bye!
Jin had to stop himself from jumping as he ran back to the hotel.
-
Pai cried herself to sleep last night. As someone knocked wildly at the door, she combined all her strength just to open her red, swollen eyes. Her eyelids were heavier than usual. She felt miserable. When she remembered she was suppose to be angry at Hwoarang, she stopped herself from standing up to open it.
Hwo: Hey sleepy head! Get up!
Pai: GO AWAY!
Hwo: I don't know about you, but it's been long since I've been to the dojo. So if you wanna stay here, sulk, and be a WEAK FAT ASS, I won't force you to come.
Hwoarang calculated everything perfectly. Soon enough, Pai opened her door and headed straight for the bathroom without speaking to him.
-
Xiaoyu was heading for Pai's room when she heard the name "Jin" in Hazuki and Akuma's conversation in the empty dining hall. She listened to them behind the slightly ajar door.
Akm: Really? He did? Man! I can't believe I missed it! I knew my cat instincts were telling me something, but I was still hungry. Damn! Was he nervous?
Haz: Yes, very much! He was red all over! (giggle) And he was stuttering! He couldn't control himself.
Xiaoyu's heart and mind was pounding. Her greatest worries popped into her head. "They couldn't mean...No! He didn't! He couldn't possibly...He was suppose to ask me!" Then, the conversation continued.
Akm: Well, at least you don't have to worry 'bout a date! Hehe! I'm gonna have lots of fun with you two! Oh yeah, just talk to him. Eventually, he'll get over his bashfulness. I'm not sure, but I think your his first date ever.
Xiaoyu was thunderstruck with disbelief. "No! He's my date! No! This isn't real! No!"
-
Ukyo locked his office so his groupies couldn't enter. He would have entertained them, but he had so much paperwork because of the accident. His two invatations to the ball were carelessly scattered somewhere the heap of files. Soon, they bid him farewell, saying they'll be back some other time. Just as he was comforting himself with the peace that was settling in the room, Capcom's Morrigan smashed the door locks and entered. Ukyo let go of the papers he was holding and leaned on his chair.
Ukyo: Oh boy...
Mor: Haven't you asked me?
Ukyo: Ask you what?
Mor: To the ball silly!
Ukyo: Am I suppose to?
Mor: Of course! You're my boyfriend!
Ukyo: SAYS WHO?
Mor: Me. And during occasions where you must have a date, you are suppose to inform me immediately so I can shop and prepare!
Ukyo: But-
But before he can say another word, Morrigan threw away heaps of paper from his table. It was as if she was trying to sniff the invitations out. Ukyo can only stare at her as she got one of the two, squeezed it in between her breasts, kissed him goodbye and winked before leaving.
-
Lion was skate boarding when he heard sobs from behind the bush. He quickly knew who it was.
Lio: Xiaoyu?
There, he found her whimpering and sobbing as she sat on the grassy earth. She covered her face instantly when she saw Lion.
Lio: Are you...(Er...that's a pointless question)...I mean, what's wrong?
Xia: He didn't ask me out! Waaaaah!
Lio: Who didn't?
Xia: Jin! Jin Kazama! That handsome, musculine hunk! My hearts desire! My only reason for entering Tekken 4! He-he abandons me for a-a-a green haired, old game, 2d, powerless girl!
Lion was suddenly brightened up, full of hope. He was trying hard not to smile.
Lio: It can't be all bad.
Xia: Yes it can! Yes it is! I was full of hope that he'd ask me out. Now I feel like a total fool! And who's gonna date me now? I'd look like an idiot without one, but who'd accompany me? Hwoarang? WAAAAAAAAAAAH!...Paul? WAAAAAAAAAAAH! Yoshimitsu? WAAAAAAAAAAAH! AKUMA? WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Xiaoyu rubbed her eyes again and started kicking the ground.
Lio: Well...I mean, if that's you're problem, I can solve that.
Xia: (sob) You can?
Lio: Well, you can go with me.
Xiaoyu sniffed and rubbed her eyes. She was thinking it over. Then with a sigh, she agreed.
Xia: You're no Jin, but at least you're a pretty good choice. (Lion "YES!")
Xiaoyu looked at him. Then, she leaned on his shoulder and continued to weep. Lion, though he knows he wasn't suppose to, was actually enjoying it. Just as he handed her his handkerchief and was trying to relieve her, Akuma, yet again, pops out of the tree upsidedown, which startled the two, while singing.
Akuma: PUT your head on my SHOULDEEERRRRR!
             Hold me in your arms, baby...
             Let me be your date, oh Ling...
             Er...what's the tune of next line?
X+L: AKUMA!!!
Lio: Get down from there you-
Xia: Get back here!
Akuma (While running): AHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHI!...WAAAAAH!

The Korean Dojo (AKA: My very pathetic, mushy, vomit-enhancing side, though I do like the Jin part)
Pai: Hiyaaaaaaaaa!
Hwo: Whoa! OW! Ngrrrr...("Rejects" Pai)
It's been 4 hours since they started their sparring. They'd stop for a few moments then Pai would beckon him to spar again. Hwoarang was getting tired, his sleeveless uniform wet as if he jumped into a river wearing it. Pai, on the other hand, seems very energetic and wasn't showing a sign of weakness. Hwoarang remembered what Ukyo said, "In our world, rage is but a fearsome enemy and allie." He never understood it till now. Yikes! She was gonna stomp him!
Hwo (Rolls away just before she lands): Shit!...Hey, doesn't that hurt?
Pai: Haaiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaa!
Hwo: HMPH!
Hwo does a low, double mid kick. You know, the one from tag. Unfortunately, though the first two hit, Pai catches the last kick. She pulls it and throws Hwoarang to the ground. Hwoarang jumps up before she could sweep him off his feet again. Pai attacks with her three lightning fast kick.
Hwo (Side steps): Holy...(does his cripler to fear kick. Pai falls face first) Your nose still intact? Hah...hah...look...
But to his amazement, Pai stood up.
Pai: That the best you can do?
At this, Hwoarang's rage meter powed up. He does several kicks starting from the bottom so Pai couldn't catch it. He even manages to sky rocket her. Then, when he pushed her off with a side kick, he runs and tackles her. Just as he was on the verge of giving her a punch, he stops. It felt numb. Pai seem to have noticed, because she uncovered her face from her arms. "Ngrrr...what the hells wrong with me", he thought. "PUNCH HER DAMNIT!" But he couldn't, his fist was raised frozen in the air. Pai was now staring at him, as if asking why didn't he do it.
Pai: ...if you're not going to punch, get off me!
At this, his fist shook violently, wanting to kiss that China face before him. But he just couldn't. He just couldn't. He has hit girls before, younger, more innocent, more deserving of mercy. But not this one. For some weird, fucking reason he can't. Finally, he sighs. He stands up and helps her. She looked at him confused and tried to study him, his head bowed a bit. He spoked in a low tone.
Hwo: Get dressed. Wait here. I'll just...change.
But she stood still as she watched him walk towards the stone stairs, his head still bowed.
-
Akm: JIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!
Jin dropped the precious cup from the collection of expensive China wares which Xiaoyu gave for Christmas ("I saved all my allowance for that whole set!") He held his chest and heaved while clutching the counter with the other, his eyes bulging. Akuma ran towards him and seem not to notice.
Akm: JIN! You can't believe-I mean you have to-what happened to you?
Jin turned his head to him slowly, his eyes still bulging as he stared at him for a moment. Then, he gives Akuma his unblockable punch in T4. Akuma slid off as he shouted at him at the top of his voice.
Jin: WOULD YOU STOP POPPING OUT OF NOWHERE?! SHEESH! YOU'RE STARTING TO GIVE ME HEART ATTACK! I'LL DIE SOONER THAN HEIHACHI IF YOU CONTINUE!!!
Akuma seem to take only the last line seriously, because he dashes back to him.
Akm: Nope, you're not having a cardiac arrest yet. But I think this will cause it. Kazuki's comin' to accompany Haz to the ball. Says he's gonna lurk around the walls. Found out 'coz he needed Ukyo's permission to enter. Mission Impassable! Dan-dan-danandan-dan-dan...
Jin's eyes narrowed in disbelief. Great! How is he gonna act comfortably and relaxed knowing if by any chance he makes an advance that goes over Kazuki's limitations, he'll pop out of nowhere and blow him up? Jin can hear that raspy voice riningin in his ears.
Kaz: Just don't be too close to my sis...or else...
He turned pale at the thoughts haunting him. All kinds of hopeless situations befall his mind. This is one:
Haz: Don't I deserve a kiss Jin?
"If I DO kiss her..."
Kaz (Fired up all over and dashing towards him): NYAAAAAAAAAH!
"And if I don't kiss her..."
Kaz: WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN? YOU THINK MY SISTER'S UGLY? WHY DIDN'T YOU KISS HER? (Holds Jin by the neck, lifts him up and engulfs him in flames).
">_< Mommy..."
Akm: A... Jin? JIN!
Jin falls over, pale and cold as his imagination tortures him.
-
Dark clouds began to set in. Pai waited drowsily sitting on the steps of the stairs, leaning sidewards on its walls. Hwoarang who was taking longer than usual. She sweeped her droopy eyes over the Korean stage. The rage within died, and now she felt the fatigue of their four hours regimen. Finally, he emerges from the corner. As he spoke, his voice was still low.
Hwo: Well? Aren't we going yet.
Pai: I have a bad feeling it's going to rain along the way. Let's stay here for a while...I don't want to be sick.
She expected Hwoarang to scoff her, but instead he silently sat beside her. His head was still a bit bowed.
Pai: I'm sorry...
Hwo: Huh?
Pai: I didn't mean to be that mean. But please try to be more of a gentleman next time.
Hwo: Yeah...sure...er...Sorry 'bout the thing I did too.
Hwoarang was pinching his glove and fixing the silver stud on the sleeve of his black jacket when something leaned against his shoulder. He stared at the stone floor, as if not really wanting to know what the weight was. But his guess was right. Pai was leaning on him, her eyes still drooping. Akuma wasn't there, but Hwoarang was really getting the creeps he had acquired a sort of virus from him when they were cooped up in the vent. A song suddenly popped on to his brain (He only came past it when he was waiting for his turn to watch TV. Pai and Xiaoyu was watching "Dawson's Creep"...or was that "Creek?").
Pai: Are you the only one who manages this place?
Hwo: Yeah. Since my master died, Toshin killed him, it became my responsibility...

Shit! I can't believe I'm writing this!

Pai: Hmm...it reminds me of home...
Hwo: Heh! Were you happy there? No bullies?
Pai: Yes, I was very happy there...but lonesome too.

Holy mother of Jin Kazama...

Pai: I only had fans...millions of fans...nothing more than admirers...(sigh)
Hwo: Well, that's because that destiny shit brought you-...er never mind.

Someone unfuck me quick before I puke!

Hwo: Pai...
Pai: Hmm?

Hwoarang thought long and hard what the hell to say. Truth be told, he himself was confused. He glanced over his shoulder to see her asleep already.
Hwo: Nothing...

SHIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!

And he waited for the drops of rain before heading within the temple.

Though the VFLF are still in heat of Tekken (especially now that Lion quit because of Ling), and the Tekken punks are getting annoyed with VFs goodie-two-shoes, nobody can just resist the excitement the King vs Wolf match. Pai and Hwoarang entered the dining hall late for dinner (Lee was realy turning to a silver haired demon while Aoi looked like a tiger ready to pounce). Ukyo stopped whatever he was announcing and continued after they both settled in their seats.
Ukyo: Ehem...And for those who are late, I would like to again repeat our agenda for tomorrow. As you know, two days from now, King and Wolf's match shall take place. Tomorrow, we leave for the tournament location. We'll be staying in a...(mumble. Ehem)...in which we have made reservations. Now, I advice you all to pack your things tonight. At 8 o'  clock, we leave. Any questions? We'll be using a bus. Well, if you don't like the bus, then I guess you can drive alone, Lee, and let Hwoarang sit beside Pai-I was just kidding, dear. Panda's an animal, but I guess we can talk about that, Xiaoyu. The girls are separated from the boys, Sarah, so I don't think you can kill Steve (Ste: Oh, thank GOD!). Anymore? None? Then I suggest you all head for your rooms, pack up and sleep.

The trip was definately no leasure cruise. Most characters were creating a lot of mayhem. Just to name a few: Nina and Sarah kept trying to kill Steve secretly. He almost ate his poisoned banana but it was knocked over by Paul who was pushed by Kazuya. Paul hit Kazuya with his power punch as he walked away. Kazuya gave him a flying kick and threw him by his arm. As the two men struggled, none of the T4 or VF tried to stop them. But when they tripped Sarah who was going to stab Steve, Jacky rushed to them, hung his arm by their necks and slammed their faces to the ground. As they battled, they hit the top of the bus where Kage was sitting on outside. The thud was so strong it almost made him fall off. Soon, the battle became a foursome. Christie was calling out for bets. They only stopped when Ukyo who was asleep (Akuma placed earmuffs on him. It accidentaly fell off.) woke up and stopped them. The driver was really fucked off after the trip.

If you think the nightmare is over, think again.
Lee: THIS is where WE'RE staying?
It wasn't a hotel. It wasn't even an inn. It was a dark, gloomy castle. Its huge wooden doors were engraved with stone-metal goblins serving as doorknobs. The walls looked very ashened indeed. Patches of holes covere the roofs of the towers. It was freaky indeed. All it lacked were the dark skies and thunderbollts. Everyone started to complain as Ukyo can only roll his eyes upward to avoid the accusations they were making. Only Akuma had a different reaction. Excitement and thrill filled his eyes.
Hwo: WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?
Lio: I thought we were staying at a luxurious hotel?!
Chri: Damnit! I don't want to use torches while bathing! Candles, maybe. At least they have sweet scents!
Shu: I'm old, my-hic- eyes cannot-hic-see ver-hic-in th-hic-dark. I'll-hic-stumble-hic-
Ste: DO YOU WANT ME KILLED?! LOOK AT THIS...PLACE! ITS DARK, DAMP, SCARY...I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL WILL KILL ME FIRST, AN ASASSINATION OR A HEART ATTACK!!!
V+L: A heart attack.
P+X (holding each other): Rats and Roaches! EEEEEEEK!!!
Kaz: Isn't this the place where Devil May Cry was shot?
Ukyo: Please, please, everyone, calm down. Let me explain. There are two main reason why we are staying here. One, Heihachi WAS the one who made the reservations. I tried to ask for a better one, but its either this or watch the tourney on TV. I don't know why he chose this, ok? Second, almost all hotels are full because a lot of people are coming to see this major event. So please, I tried my best to get the best for us, but sometimes we just have to follow the sun.
All: WHAT?
Ukyo: Forget it, you wouldn't understand. To tell you the truth, I don't like this place either, but what else can we do. Let's jus make the best of it. Besides, it's just for 2 days.
The doors slowly, mysteriously opened. Nothing inside can be seen in the sheer darkness. A cold draft escaped the castle with an echo. Everyone looked at it with narrow eyes.
Lion: The best of it you say?
Paul: Uh...Ukyo...You go first. We'll follow the leader.

When the night came, darkness overwhelmed the castle. With no electricity (Hwo: Shit man! This 14th century backlog is fucking the life out of me!), they were forced to use torches. The medieval feeling was giving everyone goosebumps.
Xia: I swear, the armor moved!
Sar: The paintings eyes are following us!
Hwo: I think you're both sissies.
Jin: Oh, that's rich! Hwoarang "thinks", oh boy...
Hwo: I HEARD THAT!
Time finally came to get some shut eye. Ukyo left some torches on the hall lit, but it was still creepy. The girls stayed in the left tower, which was further divided into four while the boys in the chamber. Only Ukyo, Kazuya and Jun got their own rooms (Kaz: She's my wife damnit! We need some privacy. Jin: Oh man, the thought of seeing you in your underwear...poor mom. Kaz: I heard that boy!). The night was quiet...too quiet...In one of the the girl's tower that midnight...
Pai (Covered under blanket): N-nothing's out there...i-it's just m-m-me...
Someone tapped her.
Pai: AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Xia: AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Sar: AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Jul: AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Xiaoyu sat at the end of her bed. When they all calmed down, the four of them huddled in her bed.
Pai: Oh! X-xiaoyu! I-I-thought-...
Xia: Sorry, didn't mean to scare you but...
Xiaoyu was holding her pajama pants up, squeezing her legs tightly together, twitching.
Xia: Call of nature. Can you come with me?
Everyone looked at her as if she asked the clouds to kiss the earth.
Sar: Can't it hold?
Xia: NO, it can't!
Pai: Er...How about you two? Maybe it's better we all go down...you know so we don't have to later...hehe...
Julia and Sarah looked at each other, deriving conclusions in their eyes.
Jul: Er...sure. W-why not? It's just below the tower...pass the dark staircase...behing the library...
Sar: G-good idea. I mean, w-what's to be afraid of?
An owl hooted outside and they all scuttled under the blanket, wide eyed and frozen. Sarah lights a flashlight.
Sar: S-so w-who wantsss t-to lead?
-
If you saw how they went down, you'd probably laugh. They were sticking to the walls, beaming the flashlight at the path before turning on corners. Pai was holding a frying pan, Sarah a bat, Xiaoyu a golf club and Julia a blanket and the flashlight, taking the lead. 4 young girls in their wisps of nightgowns (In fear, they forgot to wear robes. Sarah was the sexiest of all) running around with their "weapons". Once or twice, they'd bump, drop or move something and in most cases they screamed.
Finally, they got to the ladies room. For a while they felt it was their sanctuary. But after doing their thingy's, the real dilemma rose.
Sar: What do you mean YOU DON'T REMEMBER?
Jul: Well, we were in such a hurry! I couldn't remember all those twists and turns! And why didn't YOU remember?!
Pai: We're lost?
Xia: No!
Jul: Uh-oh! The flashlight's gone!
Sar: But I just put new batteries on that!
Pai: Ahhhh...
Xia: TAP IT!!
They quarelled but stopped when they heard a faint cry beyond the room. Their fear got the better of them.
Jul: Lo-look, l-let's just...get out of here. I mean, how far can the tower be?
10 minutes...20...30...they got to the main hall, a dark creepy room and a study room full of spiders. But there wasn't a sign of distinction of where they came from.
Xia: G-guys...I feel someone's trying to follow us...
Jul: Stop that!
But soon, they all heard footsteps...slow steady footsteps. Then, it disappeared.
Jul: L-let's get going-
But as they turned, a dark figure dropped hanging from the ceiling, ooze dripping from it!
Pai: AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Xia: AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Sar: AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Jul: AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
They all started to run, so fast they unofficially broke several olympic records that night. Akuma, holding his hotdog sandwitch midnight snack, hanging by the ceiling with his chain upside down, can only wonder.
Akm (Licking the dripping ketchup): What's with them? Hey! Don't go down! You're going to the DUNGEONS!!!
