Calm before the storm...

Inspired song- Angelina Release me (remix)


Mira let Ling in she had a backpack on and pulled out a laptop, "I was thinking about what you said and I just wanted to make sure if it was who I was looking for," Ling said going into her past emails. "Look," Ling pointed. "Sorry, Hon but all I see are chicken scratches," Mira was scratching her head in befuddlement. "Oh sorry, it's saying that I'm in danger and that Heihachi has evil intentions, and I think Jin sent me the email," said Ling. "How does Jin look like," Mira asked. "Well look," Ling pulled out a picture. Mira look at the picture (Oh my God! He looks like Kazuya but more innocent and younger) "Yeah that's him," Mira said pointing at the picture. "Then he must be here," Ling, said "How was he like when you saw him." Mira remembered "WellI was taking care of some bags for someone when I saw him he was just staring at me. So I stared at him the same way then I joked around and stuck my tongue at him at smiled at him he smiled back, I bumped into him later on he just smiled and that's all," Mira finished. "He never smiles he was always serious, I tried to talk to him once he wouldn't even stop, ugh the nerve of him," Ling frowned and crossed her arms.

"Hey! No need to be hatin' he probably had his reasons," Mira patted Ling on her shoulder, "So when was the last time you saw him," Mira asked Ling. "It was at the tournament." Mira thought for a moment "Anywhere else?" Ling shook her head. (Maybe this Jin guy can help me with gathering 411 on Heihachi) "Listen, Ling I'm going to help you to find Jin I don't know how but I will, and Ling," Mira looked away. "What," Ling tilted her head. "Um, Red I mean Hwoarang and me aren't an item," Mira got a little pink. "Humph, like if I care," Ling said but it was obvious that she was relieved, "Well I got to get my fighting schedule," Ling put her stuff back in her backpack and headed out the door. "Fighting schedule," Mira was dumbfounded. "Didn't you hear? Since that incident from last night there going to give out the fighting schedules today at the hotels auditorium, and also Heihachi saying all of the rules again," Ling said with an aggravated tone with the last words that she said while Mira closed the door to her room. "This place had an auditorium," Mira asked. "Yeah but it's a building next to the hotel its that big," Ling said, the both of them got in the elevator Mira pushed the button to the 1st floor.

The walk out of the hotel and went inside the auditorium it had a Victorian style to it (Jeez, looks like a place where the phantom of the opera would be comfy in.) All of the participants where there Mira and Ling got there in time "Hey!" both Ling and Mira turned around Red came up to Mira "I saved you a seat," he smiled. "Oh thanksbut I think my butts too big for it maybe I should sit somewhere else," she pointed at the opposite side to where they were he was sitting. Red laughed, "please," (Oh shit! Quick! Quick! Think of something! There's Lei) She snapped her fingers "Red I'm so sorry but I just remember that I had to talk with Lei but I'll make it up to you kay." Red's eyes sadden he look down "Oh, okay." Mira gently lifted his chin "I said I'd make it up to you and I'll will," he smiled. She went to Lei's direction "Hey! I need to talk to you," Mira sat next to Lei, "Do you anything about a guy named Jin he was in the last tournament?"

"Yeah, he's grandson of Heihachi why do you ask," Lei told her. "Because Ling's looking for him, and by the way you got any dirty shit on Heihachi," Mira said in a low voice. "I wish I did, but I can give you some history on the Mishimas if you want," Lei replied in a low voice also, "Over a cup of coffee."
"What are you implying," Mira raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Dad."

"Hey I'm not that old," Lei joked. "Sure, but I bet you've probably gotten slapped around more times than a piata," Mira giggled out. "Ha ha very funny Mira," Lei said Mira elbowed him lightly. "It's Elena," she winked. "Oh sorry, Elena" Lei rolled his eyes. "What do you think they're talking about," Ling asked Red. "I don't know I can't read lips," Red snapped. "Ling," Julia waved. "Finally someone that I can talk to, and I'm sitting next to her," Ling left to join Julia and sit next to Mira. "Lei," Ling said. "Ling," Lei hugged her, "How are you? You've gotten taller, I was hoping you'd lose those pigtails by now."

"Lei! So not funny," Ling teased. "Hey, Lei," Julia said and shook his hand. "How's Michelle," Lei asked Julia. "Fine," Julia sighed out. "Everyone please take your seats," a voice from the P.A. said. They all took their seats Heihachi stepped up "To start off since that strange incident last night we've had to delay handing out the schedules, now then" Mira blood boiled he did something she didn't know what it was but it knew it had to deal with her. She started to scrape off the paint from her nail to pass the time then a voice entered her mind it was Kazuya voice "Mira I know you can hear me." Mira immediately responded mentally "How the fuck did you do that?"

"I'm not doing this you are I figured out if you can move objects you can be telepathic too," Kazuya said. "Where are you," Mira demanded her eyes started to look around the auditorium. "Don't bother I'm in the shadows and I still have your cell phone," Kazuya teased. "Thank God I didn't program any numbers on it what do you want," Mira started to concentrate where he was. "Well I guess what you told me is true you're not hear to ruin my plans you're hear to gather information from that old ass and me aren't you," Kazuya asked. "You know what I don't want to talk, wait I mean communicate ugh whatever." Then a sudden voice came "I will get your power I will" Mira cut off communications (What was that all about? Why did he want to talk to me so bad I thought the only person I can talk to like that was Deandre I think that the person who sends the messages isn't telepathic it's the one that receives it) ".my assistant will now hand out the schedules," Heihachi said and left the stage.

The assistant started handing out the fighting schedules she received hers (What or who the hell is Combot?) Violet looked over her shoulder she jumped up "Don't do that!" Mira snapped it gave her the willies when someone looked over her shoulder. Violet backed up "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you." "Hijo de su chingada," Mira started until someone interrupted. "Eso no es ninguna forma para hablar para una seorita decent como tu," King came up to her. "Y a ti que te importa?" Mira said getting annoyed from the wrestlers lecture, "No me gusta que me hagan eso me da cosa," Mira crossed her arms and stomped her foot. "Pero noms te dijo perdn no tienes que decirle maldiciones," King countered. "Ya pues le digo perdn si te callas l hocic," Mira turned to Violet. "I'm sorry, I was talking mess," she apologized and walked off to meet Red. "Hey, Red, so who you gonna fight," Mira asked. "A girl name Christie Montiero, you?" Red was looking at his schedule. "Something or someone named Combot," Mira look at her schedule. "Combot," Red laughed out, "What a stupid ass name!" She saw Violet was glaring at Red, she noticed something far side from her eye, she remembered that hood (It must be Jin, this is my chance) she left auditorium unnoticed and followed him (I promised Ling I'd find you) she kept following him.

Jin went into a nearby herbal store she also went in she went into one of the aisles but still kept sight of him (Man, its smells like an attic in here) Mira looked around "May I help you miss," a woman in her mid- 40's asked her with a faint Japanese accent. "Um, nope just browsing I'll buy something pretty soon," Mira said cheerfully. The woman looked at her for a moment then looked into her eyes "You have great power don't you," the woman said. "Uh, no I don't know what your talking about, I got to get going," Mira said (This is just getting too weird). "You're eyes tell it all you are afraid to use them because you don't want to hurt anyone," The woman was now getting something. "Listen um clerk lady I don't have any powers you've been drink a little too much ginseng tea," Mira trailed off she was nervous because what she was saying was true. "Here," The woman handed her an a small bag, "It's chamomile to calm your nerves your going to need it."

"Thanks but I don't have any money so you can keep it," Mira handed it back to her but the woman protested. "You'll need it trust me." Mira took the bag it had Japanese characters on it. "Hey there you are," Red said getting into the store. (Oh shit) Mira sensed trouble. "Hi Red, what's up," Mira asked. "Oh nothing much I saw you get into this store so I wanted to see what you were up to but Ling stalled me," Red said. "I see, well we could get going," Mira was trying to get out of there as soon as possible and an awful feeling plunged into her stomach. "I know I feel it too," The woman told Mira. "Young man would please leave my store," the woman asked. "What! I'm not trashing anything!" Red snapped at the same time Jin came out on of the aisles. "Maybe you should listen to the lady," Jin said. "I've been waiting for this," Red got into a fighting stance. "I don't have time put up with you," Jin said in a tone of annoyance. "Well deal with it," Red was about to charge at Jin but Mira held him back. "Red stop it," Mira said. "No! I have to beat him!" Red protested. "Then your going to get pass me," Mira said getting in front of Jin. "What," Red asked dumbfounded. "You heard me, if you want to fight him so bad you're gonna have to fight me first," Mira said standing her ground. Red's eyes were blazing with anger "If you are my friend you'll get out of the way and mind your own fucking business," Red growled. "Then I'm not your friend this is my business and I won't get out of the way," her eyes narrowed. "Fine, were enemies and when we have our match I can't wait to hear you beg for mercy while I'm breaking your legs," Red said in a cruel but satisfied voice. "That's if I let you," Mira snapped while crimson light surrounded her fist. Red backed away "You don't scare me." And he left; Mira heard one of his thoughts (And to think I liked you). Mira sighed, "Well there goes another love interest down the drain." The woman spoke "Thank you." Mira looked surprised "What?"

"You saved my store from being ruined I just got done cataloging a bunch of herbs today," she added with a smile, "Have you been here before, I mean Tokyo." Mira shook her head. "Here I think this belongs to you," the woman handed her a book. Mira saw it had a lock on it, "Sorry, I don't own a diary." The woman again protested "I know this belongs to you please keep it." Mira nodded she felt the book it had a silver design on it and swirl patterns on the corners. She looked up from the book and Jin was examining it also. Mira look at his eyes they were obsidian they looked very peaceful but with a hint of anger. "Thank you um" the woman finished for Mira "Shira my name is Shira." "Right, thanks Shira," Mira left and Jin followed. Mira turned around "We need to talk." "Why? We have nothing to talk about," he said leaving she stopped him. "Yes we do," she said, "Ling's looking for you." He raised an eyebrow "Is that so." "Yes, and I need your help but we can't talk right here its need's to be some where private its that deep," Mira now realized that Jin was a vital part of her assignment. He nodded "Very well I'll give you instructions on where we can meet do you have a pen?"

"Yeah hold up," she took out the pen that was holding her hair, "Shit! I don't have any paper. Wait, here," Mira tore off some of the bag (Thank God it's a brown paper bag.) Jin wrote on it "Here, I suggest you get there as fast as you can it's a long drive there from here."

"Aight then see you soon," Mira look at the paper that he wrote on (He can write in English?) She looked away from the paper and he was gone (But, man is he spooky, oh yeah today I get my money and laptop) she headed to the hotel then rushed to the elevator. Pushed to the button and went to room 217 "Dee, disable my cell phone quick, if it still works," Mira said. "Girl, I already did, and here's 200 dollas and a laptop, but the way what chu need a laptop for," Deandre looked at her puzzled. "I'm going to hack into the Mishima Zaibatsu network," Mira said while putting the money into her pocket. "Hey, Mira look what I found out," Lupe said while sitting at the bed and typing away at the laptop. "What," Mira said sitting by Lupe looking at the screen. "One of the G corporations executives is holding a party well more of a ball tomorrow," Lupe was scrolling down the page. "Andthat means what to us," Deandre said lifting his eyebrows. "Ay stupid! Mira could go to the party hack into one of the computers at his house get the info on how Kazuya was brought back to life, and maybe get some more dirty shit on him. Jeez! Boy do I have to spell it out for you?!" Mira and Deandre back away from her "Damn girl can you say bitchy," Mira shot at her. "Sorry, its just that Julio called me and we broke up he called me today and told me that it was over," Lupe's eyes got glassy. "Oh girl I'm so sorry I didn't know its okay I'm here," Mira held Lupe, but Lupe broke away gently. "Naw, girl first business then we can talk mess about him later." Mira nodded "Are you sure what you're proposing is a good idea?"

"Damn, skippy its girl! It could save us a whole mess of spying!" Lupe exclaimed. "Uh-huh, listen can you get me some 411 on a guy named Jin he's the grandson of Heihachi Mishima," Mira said. "Girl you must think I'm you, here already did here. I think he kinda fine," Lupe gave Mira some papers, "And a picture too."

"Ay Lupe when will you learn, anyway I got to meet him pretty soon," Mira looked at her watch and gave Lupe back the papers and picture. "Hey, Mira what's that book in your hand," Deandre said. "Ah, nothing that you should worry about, and oh Lupe we'll talk about your plan later," Mira said while holding the laptop and the book and left. She went down the elevator to her room and closed the door and laid on her bed a minute, yawned (Man I haven't gotten any good sleep lately and I got to get to going to where I'm s'posed to, gotta get going to meet Jin.) A knock came to the door (Damn, I'm getting visitors like mad today) She opened the door a man with a vase full of white roses came in. "Their beautiful," Mira exclaimed she smiled. The man set them on the dresser "Here Miss this for you," The man handed her an envelope, he was a little exhausted from holding the vase. "Here buy yourself something nice," Mira handed him a twenty. "Thank you miss," and he left the room. She looked at the flowers admiring their beauty. She sighed and tore open the envelope it was the invitation to the party with a letter in it. It read:

A Limo will come for you tomorrow. I will be waiting for you. Dress formally not those rags you usually wear
- K.M.

Mira immediately crumpled the note in anger and growled (That creep after what he did to me and what I'm wearing are not rags!) She looked at her clothes a ninja turtles shirt and bell-bottom jeans with sneakers to top it off. (Dee said that I had natural beauty) she looked at her skin complexion in the mirror (My skin looks like coffee with creamer, I got tell Lupe and Dee what I got but first I gotta meet Jin) She looked at the flowers again (Why did he send me roses and how did he know white roses were my fav?) Mira shrugged and left. She kept driving she looked at his directions she went to the village. (I wonder if any one knows how to speak English here? Oh fuck this! I'm not even going to try to speak Japanese. Maybe I'll use the feeling to find him) She got out of her car and started to walk towards the village. Everyone started to look at her (Oh great like if I hadn't experienced this feeling before) she simply kept walking through. Mira stopped walking closed her eyes and steadied her breathing she felt him faintly. She opened her eyes again now all of the villagers were looking at her with frightened eyes. Mira simply ignored them and kept going. She followed a dusted road after a few minutes she stopped. Mira closed her eyes again she sensed him now he was very near Mira pulled her hand out and was directing her self like a compass she stopped. There he was meditating it was already dawn and the sun was dipping in the horizon. Mira walked as quietly as she could. And stood next to him admiring his tranquility then she spoke her softest voice, "Beautiful sun set isn't it."

"Yes it is," Jin said opening his eyes. Mira sat by him. They said nothing for a moment "Why do you want my help," Jin broke the ice. "Well," Mira paused for a moment (Trust him girl he means right go with your gut) "To start off I was sent on a assignment to gather information on Heihachi Mishima and Kazuya Mishima in the tournament, I need your help because you're the only one who was close to Heihachi," Mira said then sighed and looked at the sunset. "Who do you work for," Jin asked. Mira looked at him and joked, "If I told you I'd have to kill you."

"Like if that hasn't been tried on me," Jin hissed his lips curled into an ugly snarl. "What do you mean by that," Mira tilted her head. "I know what Shira ment when you had great power, my mother had the same type of power but not as strong as yours, I sensed it at the airport," Jin said gave her a fixed look. "Well to be honest I don't know if it's a gift or a curse it's like sometimes you embrace it and you feel so free like if you can do anything! Youfeelaw what's the word.powerful like if nothing can stop you but then when you stop you see all the damage you caused and the painyou dig? I mean do you know what I'm saying," Mira's eyes lowered and the horrible memory came over her. Jin nodded "I couldn't have put it better myself, by the way why is Ling looking for me?"

"Well she thinks you sent her an email warning her about Heihachi's evil intentions and.." Mira shirked a horrible pain struck her back she lifted in the air a purple haze surrounded her "I can't wait anymore! I want your power! Your soul! Your essence! I want you all mine!" The demon thundered came rushing at her and entered her body. Her eyes rolled over she was falling. Jin caught her and held her in his arms what he saw shock him. The same markings that appeared on his forehead two years ago appeared on hers. She floated away from him a dark black and purple aurora surrounded her she was no longer Mira but the demon. "It's an honor to finally meet you Jin," it said smiling. "Let her go! She has nothing to do with you," Jin screamed. "Oh, yes she does you see for she has a very sad story," the demon imitated playing a violin. "For you see her mother died when she was very young, and her nana was taken away, the poor thing didn't have a shoulder to cry on and. Oh! You should of seen how they treated her at the orphanage," the demon put Mira's hand on her forehead, "Then one day when she turned 15 the bully that always picked on her tried to rape her! Oh the horror! Shall I continue," the demon said clasping Mira's hand together. "That's enough!" Jin was read to strike. "Don't even think about it! For you see you hurt me you hurt her," the evil entity warned. "Any ways on with our sad story, she kept fighting him off but he was too strong, but then a miracle happened she threw him across the wall without touching him! But he had a dagger and sliced her wrist on instinct she threw him out the window the cut was pretty deep she got weak fell down on the floor and then she said those magical words," The demon did Mira's voice, "I'd give anything to stay alive."

"And so her knight in shining armor came me," he grinned frowned and went on, "She knew who I was she wouldn't accept then, argh!" the demon shouted. "Get out," Mira screamed. "NO!" The demon boomed. "Yes, Ah," Mira was now struggling she felt like knifes were stabbing her all over her body. Crimson light shot out of her body she fell down. Jin picked her up "Are you all right," Jin asked her. "Oh God!" she pushed Jin away ran as fast as she could plopped to her feet and vomited. When Mira was done she came back clutching her stomach. "Damn him, see what I mean about a curse," Mira tried to smile she stumbled Jin caught her. "Since when has this been happening?" "After some creep" Mira clutched Jin's neck for support, "tried to rape me." She finished feeling nauseated. "Hey take it easy, want me to carry you," Jin asked. "Me take it easy, you're telling me to take it easy? Boy! I've been through worse I can walk," Mira started to walk like a drunk. Jin sighed scooped her up from her feet "Hey what the deal! Damn it lemme go!" she started to struggle but her stomach was still stirred up, "Aw, fuck it. Fine keep walkin' but I wouldn't be surprised it you face turned purple after a few minutes." "And why is that," Jin said. "Cuz I'm hella heavy," Mira said the feeling less stirred. "You're not heavy," Jin smiled and kept following the road. "I feel better now you know," Mira said, and floated away from Jin, "Man this place is so beautiful! I would've love to grown up here," she said and soared, "And you know what so weird?"

"What," Jin was looking at her in the air while she was lying back. "After that thing attacked my mind and what Shira said to me I think I need to loosen up start using my powers more often so I know how to use them against that thing, come on," Mira lifted Jin off the ground. "Hey! Put me down," Jin widened his eyes. "Quit strugglin' its fun," Mira laughed, they were both 100 feet from the ground. Mira sighed, "Maybe I will live here after I retire from my job or something. . . ." she drifted and saw the stars it was already night and a half moon was shown. "I grew up here you know," Jin said joining her. "Really bet you had some hec of a childhood, me on the other hand," Mira just kept quiet. "I know the demon told me while he took possession of you I'm sorry you had to got through that," Jin looked at her his eyes had a hint of sympathy for her. Mira exhaled the both went to the ground she felt a rush through her head turned to him "Don't be," she left to her car.

Key Bordin it helps!
