Li-Mei nodded, understanding what it was now. She didn't feel fear, but rather pity, sympathy, and sadness for her friend. She could only imagine what's it's like to have an evil spirit possess you every now and then, and have some branding as a sign of ownership to the monster. What makes it worse is that it's genetic. Li-Mei could only imagine what it's like. Poor Nesta. She felt sad for her. It literally just broke her heart.
"Did... did something happen last night?!"
She couldn't lie to her friend like this. It may break her heart, but she has to know.
"Yes, last night, I met the Devil. Telling me that I keep beating you, and one day I'll die by his hands out of fear... Whenever a malicious spirit talks to me like that, I don't ignore warnings. So, I'm guessing he plans on killing me one day. I'm on his hit-list... like that's awesome..." Li-Mei said that sarcastically.

"It's not a man Li Mei. I 've... talked to her. But I will prevent that day at any means necessary alright? You don't worry about a thing. I'm still your rival, and I still who I am. Yin Ling Hao Minh Kazama! That is a promise Li Mei, from me to you." Nesta exclaimed with assertiveness and dominance as she stood up.

"The devil is a woman? Who'd thunk? Well, teaches me to underestimate her? Women don't typically leave behind curses, but then again... Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned..." Li-Mei thought to herself outloud.
"I trust you." She finally said. "You know this spirit more than I do, so I'll leave it up to you." She smiles. "I"m sure Baba, and your dad knows what to do."

"Li Mei, it's no spirit. It's a part of me. You have to understand that. It cannot go away unless I die with it. But I will control it.... somehow." She said to her. "Hopefully the snow's melted, c'mon, we should check." She said.

Li-Mei couldn't help but smile. It did scare her but everyone has a dark side, but in Nesta's case, it's deep inside her. She will learn to control it. Definately. Li-Mei joined Nesta as they both checked ouside.
~Three Years Later
Not too long after the incident, Lei took Li-Mei home, and there she asked Lei about the Devil Gene, and he told her everything he knows. She was glad that Lei didn't think she should stay away from Nesta, but rather encouraged her to seek her out, as Lei believed that the only thing that could defeat the Devil is the power of love and friendship. As corny as that sounded, Li-Mei hoped Lei was right. But now, over those three years, Li-Mei and Nesta have hung out, as well as spar, and occasionally, Li-Mei would visit Nesta while she was training with one of Wang's followers. But now, Li-Mei had just turned 18, and she was about to go join the police academy. She decided to share the news with her best friend out in Japan.
Li-Mei, with Lei following her, makes her way to the Kazama residence, knocking on the door.

Jin had appeared at the door, opening in sight at seeing the Lei Wulong and his daughter. "Fancy seeing you two here. Is there something you two need?" He asked them both, as he himself was quite tired.

Lei smiled at Jin, as he and Li-Mei both bowed in respect. After bowing, Lei places his hand on Li-Mei's shoulder, which looked quite big in comparison, though Lei was only several inches taller than his child.
"This one here wishes to go see one whom you call, Nesta" Lei replied in a thick Cantonese accent.
Over the years, due to Lei getting older, he had forgotten how to talk in a clear American accent, as that required so much concentration to do. But now, he's speaking in his native accent.
Li-Mei smiled. "Is she in?" She asks, not in a thick Cantonese accent contrast to her father.

"Aye." He said, pointing then to the upstairs. "Nesta! Li Mei is here to see you!" He yelled, calling for her. Nesta had heard his voice and went down, seeing Li and her father there with smiles on their face. "If you need me I'll be upstairs." Jin said as he left Nesta to the others, hopefully going to fall asleep. Xiao was currently out with friends of hers. As Nesta showed herself, it was clear she had visibly matured. Even though she was only 16, she seemed to have changed to the point of almost being unrecognizable by some. She wore a white undershirt with black and white shorts, as she was mostly just relaxing in her room listening to music.
Her devil gene mark was clearly visible for once, and at this point in time it had reached past her elbow, but only slightly. Another thing that began to become noticeable were her eyes. They were becoming red, and it started with just a simple dark red shade of her pupils. It was noticeable if under light, but most of the time people think it's just her regular brown eyes. "What brings you here Li-Mei?" She asked her long time rival.
She was two years Nesta's senior, yet she felt that once she reaches to the point of being an adult, she will be able to fight Li Mei on true even grounds, rather than feeling like the weaker one due to age. She bowed to Li's father, having not seen him in a long time either.

Lei and Li-Mei both waited for Nesta to arrive. Once Nesta had made her way downstairs, Li-Mei was so happy to see her. It had been some time since she last saw Nesta. She did notice though, that her Devil Mark had gotten larger, as she could now see it. She was also a little taller now. Li-Mei herself had matured as well, as her hips have gotten wider, and her bust had gotten just a bit bigger. Not very big, but it was noticable.
Lei smiled and bowed back, as did Li-Mei. Afterwards, the two finally spoke.
"What brings you here Li-Mei?"
"Well, I got accepted into the police academy, and wanted to stop by and see you before I left. The training is going to last 27 weeks, and then I'll be busy working, once I pass."
Lei nods. "It's a long process, and she'll be quite busy."

Nesta felt a little hint of jealousy, her bust mostly staying at a modest B size. But that jealousy quickly went away at hearing the news. "Congrats Li Mei! But I guess that means we won't see each other for a while again..." She said, somewhat saddened by the news.

Li-Mei nodded once more. "Indeed. At least not for awhile. I'm going to pretty much be stuck in Hong-Kong doing basic police work such as stopping speeders, resolving a domestic disturbance, answering prank calls, you know? That type of thing." She smiled.
"Hey! You have to start somewhere!"

"I suppose so. Again, congrats. I'd imagine it was a lot of work getting to where you are now. You'll move up in no time no doubt about it." She said proud of her long time friend. Although at the same time she was saddened by the news. Would this be the last time she would ever speak to her rival as friends? And would their next encounter be that of Nesta breaking the law in some way? She hoped it never came to that, but it's clear that Li Mei is very serious about the whole ordeal.
"Well, maybe we have one lsat sparring match? For old times sake." She suggested to her rival.

"I suppose so. Again, congrats. I'd imagine it was a lot of work getting to where you are now. You'll move up in no time no doubt about it."
Li-Me nods. "Yeah. I should be able to. I'm sure I can do it. I got to have confidence in myself, or else criminals won't take me seriously."
"And don't be too authoritative. Nobody likes the strict mom. Everyone loves the fun dad."
"Well, maybe we have one last sparring match? For old times sake."
Li-Mei nodded. "Sure. That sounds like fun. Just so you know, I've picked up a few new styles."
Lei then decided to duck on out of here, by taking a seat on the couch. "Well, um... I haven't had a good nap. I should probably sleep. You two have fun..." He yawns. "I'll be here..."

Nesta was delighted to hear that her longtime rival accepted the sparring match, even if she were to lose in the end. To think this might be the last time they'll ever see each other as just 'friends' and 'rivals'. "I suppose we should head to the dojo." Nesta said as she walked outside.

Li-Mei nodded, making her way out to the dojo. She followed Nesta, as Lei stayed behind and laid down on the couch, falling asleep almost instantly. She was excited to test out her new moves that she learned from a friend of her dad's.
