Beginning Anew
Chapter 1: Australia

I was so pleased with my story for Kat I decided to expand on it. No time has passed. Jin and Hwoarang are still on a plane to Australia.

Jin frowned at the stewardess as she shamelessly flirted with Hwoarang, bending over to talk to him-showing off her cleavage.

"Are you comfy, sir? Would you like anything to drink or eat?"

"I'm just fine." Hwoarang replied, smiling.

The stewardess seemed disappointed by Hwoarang not wanting anything and walked off. The redhead looked over at his companion who was still frowning.

"Aww, Jin. Are you jealous?"

Jin snorted and folded his arms, leaning back in his seat. "No."

"Hey. I can't help it if I'm sexy."

The Japanese said nothing, but the frown vanished from his face. Hwoarang smirked his usual smug smirk.

"What? You want to make out with me the next time she walks by?" The Korean continued to tease.

"No." Jin replied, rolling his eyes. "Arrogant asshole."

"Ah-hah! The Kazama swears! Is that a first?"

Jin laughed, "I swear more than you think, Hwoarang. I just don't have a dirty mouth like you..."

"Fuck you."

"See?"

Hwoarang turned red and sat back in his seat, pouting. "Bah..."

The dark-haired man laughed, shaking his head.

"So...what's the plan? Where are we going to stay?"

"Well...our plane lands in Sydney but I think we should stay in Brisbane. It looks nice..." Jin replied. "I read the brochure."

"Don't we need...green cards or something like that?"

"Well...yeah...if we want to be in Australia legally..."

"So? Do we want to be in Australia legally?" The redhead asked, seeing the stewardess from before heading his way.

"I don't know. I haven't quiet figured that part out yet. If we apply for green cards Heihachi might find...mpphhh!!"

Jin struggled a little as Hwoarang grabbed him by the front of his coat and pulled him into a kiss. He had no idea what had gotten into Hwoarang until someone clearing their throat interrupted. Jin opened his eyes to see one disgusted stewardess looking down at them.

"Yes ma'am?" Hwoarang asked, grinning.

"Please, sir. None of that. You might make other passengers uncomfortable."

"Like I give a fu..."

Jin clamped one hand over Hwoarang's mouth, smiling politely at the stewardess. "He'll behave."

The stewardess nodded curtly before striding off. The Korean fighter turned and smirked at Jin. Jin just glared at his friend before leaning back in his seat and closing his eyes.

"I'm attracted to you, Kazama." Hwoarang hissed in his companion's ear. "Is that what you want to hear?"

Jin's eyes snapped open and he looked over at Hwoarang.

"Cuz it's true. I think you're fucking hot..."

The Japanese man blinked, blushing madly. Hwoarang smirked and leaned forward to place a kiss on Jin's ear. Jin gently elbowed Hwoarang in the ribs.

"Stop it. I promised the stewardess that you'd behave..."

"I am behaving. If I weren't behaving my hand would be down your pants by now."

The shorter fighter blushed and leaned back, "Don't even think about it, Hwoarang. Now let me be. I need some sleep."

-------------------------

The plane landing on the runway woke Jin up. He yawned and rubbed his eyes. There was an imprint on his cheek from sleeping against the window. Hwoarang was still sleep, snuggled against Jin's shoulder. Jin smiled and gave his ex-rival a gentle nudge. The Korean moaned, nuzzling Jin's shoulder one more time before straightening up.

"Are we there?"

"Yes." Jin replied.

"What time is it?"

"Well...it's about three p.m. in Tokyo so it's four p.m. here."

The plane finally rolled to a stop and Hwoarang and Jin followed the crowd into the airport.

"Wow...big..." Hwoarang mumbled, looking up as he walked.

"Yeah..." Jin nodded, zipping his coat up.

After wandering around for thirty minutes they finally found the baggage claim and grabbed their three bags.

"Sorry we didn't have any time to go to your place." Hwoarang said, slipping the backpack on.

"It's ok. I have lots of money to spend..." Jin replied, grinning.

"Isn't Heihachi going to notice money vanishing from your account?"

"No. After my grandfather's betrayal after Iron Fist 3 I transferred my winnings and the inheritance from my mother from my account to another account with an alias that Heihachi doesn't know."

"Good move."

"Thank-you."

"So...does that mean we're rich?"

Jin laughed, "Yes. Pretty much."

"Cool. Let's buy us some plane tickets to Brisbane!"
