Thanks to Theo Halliwell for reviewing.

A/N: I know it's been a while since I updated considering when I started Tekken 3 was the latest Tekken game. Now Tekken 4 has been out for a while. Awesome game by the way.

I'm not sure if games can contain spoilers but just incase some of this fic now contains parts from Tekken 4.

Ch.2: Tournament notice

"Jin!" Kara ran through the Dojo, clutching a piece of paper in her hand. She screeched to a stop when she found him hitting a punching bag with vigor. Jin stopped in mid kick when he saw Kara panting in the entryway.

"What is it?" Jin asked. Kara walked up to him when she regained her breath and put the paper in his hand.

"The fourth King of Iron Fist tournament has been announced." Kara said as Jin read the paper.

"About time." Jin muttered. "I wonder who Heihachi is trying to lure out this time."

"Rumor has it that Kazuya Mishima, your father, has returned from the dead to reclaim what's his." Kara said brushing a lock of hair behind her ear. Jin looked at her critically.

"And how did you come across this rumor?" Kara shrugged her shoulders casually.

"I have my sources." Kara looked at her watch. "Which I need to go meet. I'll meet you back at the apartment." Kara began to walk out.

"Hold it right there." Jin demanded stopping Kara. "You've been going to meet this source for weeks now, what are you planning to do?"

"I'm not planning anything Jin. I just want enough information on the tournament so what happened last time doesn't happen again." Kara said.

"What? The transformation?" Kara looked away. "That transformation saved us from being killed."

"And it scared me to death!" Kara replied. "You have no idea how scary it was to see you like that. To think that you weren't ever going to return to normal."

Jin opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out. He didn't know how frightening he had been.

"I'll meet you back at the apartment." Kara said softly before leaving. Jin watched her leave through the window in the dojo room. When she was out of his eyesight, Jin decided to leave as well. Bidding goodbye to the dojo master, Jin headed for the apartment he and Kara shared in Brisbane, Australia. They hadn't been in Japan since the last King of Iron Fist tournament 3, where Heihachi betrayed Jin and attempted to kill him after Jin had defeated Ogre. Kara had not been allowed to participate in the tournament even though one of her best friends, Ling Xiaoyu had. Kara wasn't every happy to say the least.

Jin arrived at the apartment and immediately went to the small computer they both owned. Waiting for it to boot, Jin pulled out the tournament notice Kara had given him. When the computer had finished booting, Jin sent out an email with all the information he had over the tournament using Kara's online address book. Xiaoyu was the only fighter on the list that he knew. Knowing Kara wouldn't be pleased if her best friend suffered another embarrassing defeat like in the last tournament where Xiaoyu went against Marshall Law and lost quickly despite the training sessions she and Kara went through. Jin decided to sit back and wait until Kara returned to begin making plans to return to Japan.

*Kara*

Kara sat in the back of a small café waiting. She was told to meet there but she was getting restless for waiting so long.

"It's about time." Kara said as soon has a hooded figure sat across from her. "I was so close to leaving."

"You wouldn't have." The figure replied.

"Whatever. Do you have it or not?" Kara asked impatiently.

"Yeah I got." The figure pulled out several pieces of folded paper. "This is a list of all the fighters who have been invited to the tournament and the ones who have taken the offer so far." Kara took the papers and opened them.

"Major deja-vu here." Kara muttered looking over the list. "Not very many new faces."

"That may not be a bad thing. This way you know most of their moves from sitting on the side lines during the last tournament."

"This is perfect. Thanks Red." Kara moved to get out of the booth before an arm stopped her.

"Remember our deal."

"I know. I'll get you that fight with Jin as soon as I can."

"And,"

"And it'll happen after the tournament."

"That's all I ask." The arm moved and Kara was able to get out of the booth.

"See you at the tournament." She said walking away.

"You can count on it." The figure muttered as Kara went out the door.

'This is perfect.' Kara thought. 'There's no way Jin or I could lose now.' Kara clutched the list in her hand.
