	NEVER FALL IN LOVE BEFORE THE IRON FIST TOURNAMENT
	 by Carla

Somewhere in the Yakushima forest...
Jin Kazama removed his gi pants, laid it on the rock and waded into the
water. Forest bathing has always been his favorite pastime. It has always
relaxed him, but now he still felt as distraught as he had been since Julia
told him she needed space, a little time to find herself and sort things out
in her mind.
"Does she still doubt me because I'm a Mishima?" Jin asked himself. "But
what if she decides she wants nothing to do with me anymore?"
He and Julia were in that coffeehouse, ealier that day, and he can clearly
remember her words. "I'm sorry, Jin...but, we don't seem as right as I used 
to think before."
"But Julia..."
"Just give me a little time to think things over, okay?." She said, then
kissed him lightly on the cheek before she stood up from her chair and
turned to leave.
Jin could only watch her walk away out the door of the coffehouse, until
he could no longer see her.
"Or maybe she's just bored with me." Jin thought as he stared at his
reflection in the water. "Just like Hwoarang told me..."
It was after Julia left when he met Hwoarang again. Jin was about to leave
the coffehouse, when the red-haired Korean gang leader called him in his
usual insulting way.
"Hey you, pretty boy."
Jin, at first, was wondering if he was the one the slightly familliar voice
was calling, then Hwoarang approached him, his head held high as if he owned
the coffehouse.
"Yeah, I'm talking to you, Kazama. Who else would the pretty boy be?" He sat
at the chair where Julia used to sit.
"Hwoarang, is it?" Jin asked. "Following me all the way to Japan?"
"You wish." Hwoarang scoffed, even though the young Japanese was really one
of the reasons why he was here. "I am participating in the tournament your
old semi-bald gramps is hosting. You're also gonna fight there, right, smart
ass?"
"That's smart ass to you." Jin replied in a weary voice. "But yes, I'm also
going to participate in the Iron Fist Tournament."
"I'm warning you, I'm gonna beat the crap out of of you. What about a match
right now, just to show you that you just got lucky with the draw last
time?" Hwoarang challenged.
And to his surprise, Jin only said quietly, "Another time. I...I'm not in 
the mood to deal with you right now."
"Why? Suddenly afraid of me?"
Jin gave Hwoarang another weary look. "No. I just have...a lot of things in
my mind right now."
"How interesting." Hwoarang was thinking. "So what happened?" He said aloud.
"Too personal." Jin replied.
"Oh, I know..." Hwoarang smiled. "Problems with love?"
Jin just frowned at him.
"I take it I'm right. Love problems, eh? Who's the UNlucky girl you fell in
with?"
Jin only shook his head.
"I saw that Julia just leave the coffehouse, so I guess it's her." Hwoarang
continued, the smile never leaving his face. "Julia Chang, huh? She would
also be fighting in the tournament, right? Yeah, she's a babe. I wonder
what happened why you look so sad right now. Maybe she dumped you or
something. No wonder. She must be really bored with you. Jin Yawn-a-minute
Kazama. No, make that Jin Yawn-a-nanosecond Kazama. I'm glad Julia has come
to her senses and left the lame excuse of a human being that you are."
"You're not making me feel any better, you know that."
Hwoarang smirked, "No, I'm not trying to make you feel better. Well, see you
in the tournament, lover boy. And good luck, kid. You're going to need it."
He stood up and turned around to leave, sauntering off coolly.
Then he turned to Jin again, "Women are the cause of men's downfall, they
say." And with that, he left the coffehouse.
On an ordinary day, Jin wouldn't think twice of kicking Hwoarang's sorry
ass. But Hwoarang was right. Women were the cause of men's downfall.


Nina Williams was hiding behind the bushes, watching Jin Kazama, "Wierd kid.
Wierder hair. Just like that Kazuya...Too bad this kid's going to die naked
in that lake." She thought, drawing out her gun. "Sorry kid, but I gotta
kill you." She started aiming her gun at her target.
She was about to pull the trigger when a voice interrupted. "Hello, dear
sister."

It was already nighttime. Julia Chang entered a hole-in-the-wall bar she
found along the way. She was already hungry, and this place was the nearest
one where she could eat.
The group of boys sitting in a table whistled at her when she passed by. But
she barely noticed. She was thinking of Jin.
"But I love him." She thought, sitting at a stool in front of the counter.
"And what's stopping me? God, I've never been so confused before."
Then the door of the bar opened and a familliar person--Julia knew she
already saw him--walked in coolly, headed to the counter and asked the
bartender for a bottle of beer like he owned the bar.
When the bartender gave him the beer, he ripped off the bottle's crown with
his bare teeth and drank the foamy liquid so crudely some of it fell down
from his mouth, to his neck, then to his top.
He noticed Julia was staring at him.
He smiled at her.
Julia smiled back.
Then he turned his head and covered his mouth with his hands.
"What happened?" Julia asked worriedly. He didn't look okay.
He only shook his head, his hands still covering his mouth.
"Well, this isn't the perfect time to introduce myself," Julia thought.


"What the hell are you doing here?" A surprised Nina asked her sister, Anna.
"I know you're going to assasinate Jin Kazama." Anna put in. "And I'm going
to stop you."
"Just like you stopped me from killing Kazuya Mishima, I know." Nina
snapped. "You bitch."
"But I have a different reason now." Anna put in, attempting to grab Nina's
gun away from her.
"And what could that reason be?" Nina asked, keeping her gun away from her
sister just in time.
"I'm in love with Jin Kazama." Anna said dreamily.
Nina's jaw could have dropped to the floor.
"Okay, so he's a little bit younger. But he's cute." Anna said.
"Right, he's cute. You know, I change my mind. I'm not going to kill him
anymore." Nina put in.
"I know what you're thinking, Nina." Anna said in a threatening tone. "You
would also go after him!"
"Right, Anna. You're a mind reader." Nina said with a tiny smile.
"You're the bitch!"
"Look, now we have something to fight over."
"You know, you're right..." Anna smiled as if what her sister said made
perfect sense. "C'mon, let's fight over him."
"I'll begin."
"No, I'll begin!"
"No, I will. I thought of it!"
"So what?"
"And I'm older, I go first!"
Jin Kazama headed to their direction (because he's not really so dumb that
he wouldn't notice them and their constant bickering, looked at them
questioningly.
"What are you both doing here?" He asked.
"She's here to assasinate you, handsome." Anna declared.
"Well, not anymore. Actually, we're here to fight over you." Nina replied.
"Huh?" Jin was puzzled.
"Right. But this bitch here insists that she'll begin the fight."
"Well, don't I have the right?"
"Look, girls, you're already fighting."
"We are?"
"Right, we are."
"But I'm telling you, Nina. I saw him first!"
"I'm older than you!"
"You're always saying that! Well, I'm prettier than you!"
"Ha! Says who?" Nina said vehemently.
"I had more boyfriends!" Anna claimed.
"That's because you're a slut and a whore!"
"What did you call me?!"
"Look, maybe I should send you both back to Japan." An exasperated Jin said.
"I'm not going without you, Jin." Anna said with a dreamy smile.
"I'm sitting with you, Jin." Nina said sweetly.
"No, I will!" Anna exploded. "You won't sit with her, right, Jin, dear?"
"Don't call him 'dear', you insolent profligate slut!"
"I'll go with you sit with you both!" Jin, irritated, annoyed, his ear drums
exploding, cried out.
"Now, Anna, what will we next fight over?"


"What's wrong with you?" Julia asked again.
"I'm okay now." He said, but his hands were still in his mouth. "Julia
Chang, right?"
"How did you know? I mean, I know I've seen you before, but I didn't know
you also know me."
"I'm also in the Iron Fist Tournament. I'm Hwoarang."
"Right, I've heard about you, Hwoarang."
"Of course. Everybody knows the great one-and-only Hwoarang."
Julia smiled at him again. "You know, I think I like you."
"I'm not surprised. Can you blame me if I'm so damn good-looking? And I
think it's about time that you leave that Kazama boy."
"Let me ask you one thing. Why are you covering your hand with your mouth?"
Julia queried curiously.
"It's this beer's fault." He threw the empty bottle of beer at the big
bartender, who fell immediately asleep after he was hit. "My teeth...I think
they're going to fall apart...I bit the crown off the bottle.,,"

The next day...

Nina, Anna and Jin stepped off the limousine in front of a hotel. Nina and
Anna were still fighting over Jin, since none of them has yet thought of
what they will fight over next, while Jin's eardrums have literally
exploded.
Then Julia came out of the hotel...with Hwoarang (his hands not covering his
mouth now), his arms around her waist. Jin was cantankerous when he saw his 
girlfriend with the Korean, and didn't think twice of hitting him.
Jin was about to punch him when Hwoarang stopped him and wailed, "Wait! My
teeth are aching. Don't punch me!"
"I'm sorry." Jin apologized politely. "Now, why the hell are you with my
girlfriend?" He demanded, not so politely.
"She's not your girlfriend anymore, pal." Hwoarang haughtily informed.
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah, really."
Meanwhile, Anna and Nina had ran out of words that they stopped...for a very
while...
"Nina," Anna called her sister. "I think I know what we will fight over this
time."
"Oooh, do tell."
"About who's cuter...Jin or Hwoarang?"
"I say it's Hwoarang."
"Noooo...it's Jin."
"Hwoarang!"
"Jin! Jin has a greater body!"
"Hwoarang is cooler. And his hair..."
"Well, it doesn't mean that Jin has some weird hairdo Hwoarang's already
cuter...and Jin's wealthier."
"That I don't know what to say..." Nina stopped to think. "But..."
"Jin is really better than Hwoarang."
"Ahhh, Anna, sister dear. Only proves that your taste is always bland."
Back to Julia, Hwoarang and Jin...
"Julia, you mean you fell in love with this lowlife scumbag?" Jin
vociferated.
"Acceept the harsh cruel reality, you dreg. Can I help it if I'm more sexy,
gorgeous and handsome than you?" Hwoarang jeered.
"Stop fighting, you two!" Julia shouted demandingly.
"SHUT UP!" Jin and Hwoarang both yelled at her, then continued on their
dispute.
"You only want her because you know I will be irritated if she dumped me
because of you."
"Ahhh, my friend, she dumped you because you're nothing but a filthy
bastard spending all his goddamn money buying hair gel!"
"But I look good in this hair, you miserable degenerate!"
"It's too early for you to dream, Mr. Kazama." Hwoarang said, looking at
his watch.
"Dream for me, I'm going to put you to sleep now."
"Ha! See if you can!"
"Sweet dreams, you miscreant." Jin was about to start a real fight when
Hwoarang reminded him about his teeth that were about to fall apart.
"My apologies, I forgot." Jin said graciously. Then they started their
verbal feud again.
Suddenly, Paul Pheonix and Ling Xiaoyu arrived, both of them riding on
Pheonix's big motorcycle.
"Awww, Paul. That's all? Let's ride again! And again! And again! It's soooo
cool!" Xiaoyu was practically jumping up and down.
"XIAOYU, AREN'T YOU TIRED ALREADY?!" An irked and tormented Paul screamed at
her.
Xiaoyu pouted and crossed her hands before her chest.
"Anna, are you thinking what I'm thinking."
"Yes, sister dear."
Then they both headed to Paul.
"You like me better than Anna, don't you, Paul?" Nina smiled at Paul.
Anna did a slutty pose, "No, it's me you like, Paul, don't you?"
"Paul is going to take me to a motocycle ride! Now! Now! NOW!" Xiaoyu
jumped back behind the motorcycle.
"Back off, you cute little bitch!" Nina scoffed.
"RIght, back off!" Anna added.
"ALL OF YOU SHUT UP!!!" Paul raged, covering his ears with his hands.
Everybody DID shut up. But not because Paul screamed and yelled like hell,
his voice reaching 125 decibels, but because a car arrived, and FBI agents
Fox Mulder and Dana Scully got down. The X-Files Theme can even be heard.
"I am--"
"Yeah, we know who you both are. We watch X-Files. Hey, didn't the series
already end?" Hwoarang cut in. "And you don't need to show your badge, Mr.
Alien Chaser."
"There's an alien here?!" Xiaoyu spoke up. "Who's the alien?"
"No, but we have a case here concerning Mr. Heihachi Mishima." Mulder
replied.
"My granfather?" Jin asked. Mulder and Scully headed to him.
"Yes, and you must be Jin Kazama." Scully said in her formal tone.
"What happened to him?"
"He was abducted by an alien." Mulder answered.
"No, Mulder. He wasn't abducted. He went with the alien WILLINGLY."
"Willingly?" Jin was puzzled.
"Yes." Scully nodded. "Apparently, he and this alien who took him were...in
love with each other. And Mr. Mishima has no intention of coming back to
earth. And, I think the alien took him because he looked like their
species."
Jin was flabbergasted, Julia only raised and eyebrow, Hwoarang's face turned
redder than his hair with laughing, Nina and Anna started debating about who
the better agent was, Scully or Mulder. And Xiaoyu was still trying to make
Paul agree to let her ride in his motorcycle.
"Well, Jin, that makes you the wealthiest person here in Japan." Julia said.
Then another limousine arrived, and a well-dressed lawyer stepped out.
"Nothing was bestowed to you, Mr. Kazama. All Mishima-sama's possessions,"
The lawyer declared. "Will go to...PANDA."
"PANDA?!" Every single one of them except the lawyer, Mulder and Scully
exclaimed in surprise.
And Panda stepped out of the limousine.
Hwoarang was now literally rolling in the ground with laughter, Nina and
Anna continued their debate, Xiaoyu was still getting on Paul's nerves. Jin
surprised, but he didn't seem to care that his grandfather left all his
wealth to an animal and not to him.
Jin turned to Julia, "I want to solve all the problems betwwen us, Julia."
"I have decided, Jin...I think I...I 'm going after Panda. He's the
wealthiest person--animal--in Japan." Then she went to the limousine and
joined Panda.
"I THINK I'M GONNA BE INSANE!" Hwoarang bellowed, still on the ground. "Hey,
Kazama."
"What?" A stupefied Jin replied.
"What do you think if I dye my hair green?"
"Go ahead. You're gonna make the ladies swoon."
"Really, Jin? I'll take it from the expert in hair!"
Then Lei Wulong arrived.
"Agents Mulder and Scully?" He headed to the agents of FBI. "Man, it's
really you! Do you know that I'm your NUMBER ONE FAN? I would DIE to have
your autographs!"
"Mr. Wulong, you don't need to." Scully tried to look polite.
"Do you know that I have X-Files T-shirts, X-files mugs, all the videotapes
of the series, all the available X-files merchandise..." Lei continued. "Do
you think there'd be a sequel to the X-Files movie Fight the Future? It's
bad enough that there wasn't a new season..."
"Uh, Mr. Wulong, we are needed back in our country. Ms. Scully and I have to
leave now." Mulder explained.
"I'll go with you." Lei was jumping up and down, Xiaoyu style.
So the three left in Mulder and Scully's car.

This is a true story. It really happened. No one remembered, though, because
a huge earthquake hit that place and all our dear characters had amnesia. As
for Heihachi, he was returned to Earth by the alien who abducted or took
him, and he was so humiliated by the circumstance that he paid everyone who
knew to shut up, including Mulder and Scully. He sure was thankful that
those in the tournament who knew had amnesia.
As for the Iron Fist Tournament, it went on as planned.

So, will Hwoarang go to the dentist, considering that his teeth were falling
apart? Will there really be a sequel to the X-Files movie? Is Jin wearing
anything, since it is not stated anywhere that he had his gi pants back on?
Was Clairol the brand of hair color that Hwoarang used in his hair, or was it
Bellady? Why did Heihachi choose Panda as his heir, of all people/animals.
And why did the alien return Heihachi to Earth?

The answers? Ah, we shall not know.

All I have to say is, never fall before the Iron Fist Tournament, because
you might get amnesia.

THE END

Author's note:
Congratulations, since you got here to to the end of my, I have to admit,
pretty senseless story, considering my dry attempts to make my fan fiction
funny, even making Mulder and Scully appear. This the first one I've made,
sorry if you think it's pretty lousy. If you've got any comments,
compliments (??), violent reactions, criticisms, suggestions, whatever, just
send them to me at carla99_fv18@email.com If you think this is all so corny,
feel free to send me hate mail. It's open season.
I know I didn't include the other Tekken characters (Eddy, Gun Jack, Law,
Yoshimitsu, Gon, Doctor B, for example), but I don't know where I am going
to put them, so...yeah, that's all.

Credits:
First of all, thanks to you, who had the patience to read until here.
Secondly, thanks to all the people who brought me to a higher level of
passion, I have no idea who they are. And to Jin Kazama. He may not be
real, but he DOES exist in my heart. Blah blah blah blah blah.
