Return my memory.
(A/N) Right this is the sequel to a chance of love and I hope you read the first to understand the full story. This story is going to be written in first person (mostly Xiao). I hope you enjoy! Please R&R! Thank you!
I made my way out of the airport and waited for my parents' arrival.
"Yay!" I cheered as I seen the familiar car. Mom and Dad! For the first time in a long while, I felt happy!
The car doors opened and then my mom quickly got out and I ran towards her!
"My Xiaoyu!" She breathed as we hugged.
"Hey mom!" I managed to say. I felt so overwhelmed! Dad joined me too! I quickly gave him a daddy girl hug.
Mom! Hui Ying…A petite Chinese woman with the most attractive eyes. I always thought my mom was really pretty. She always had long hair always in a neat plait. Mom's personality is always kind and caring but she tends to be naïve too. She can't help that I guess but she hates when people don't take her seriously. Umm yeah okay that where I get that from! She's kinda exotic though.
Then there's Daddy. Yu… Tallish Chinese dad. The normal embarrassing dad. The only thing I can say is that he is really cheery and bright! Dad always makes me laugh. I guess that's where I get my humor from too. Dad and I used to be really close but since I moved to Japan things turned out different. It's not like we don't like each other but I just tend to miss the good old' days when daddy and I would spend time together. Fishing and sometimes even shopping! Now I laugh at the idea but then…
Mom put the luggage in the car boot and I sat in the front of the car.
"So honey, tell us what you and um honey what's the ginger girls name again?" Dad asked while he began to drive.
"Yu! Its Miharu right? Said mom scolding dad and giving me a smile.
"Yeah Miharu mom… I and Miharu are best friends and so we uh get along. Well there's nothing else much! She helped me out at bad times. I am so thankful to have a friend like her." I sighed and looked at mom but she wasn't listening.
"Honey what bad times?" She asked eagerly.
"Well uh not much… I, um you know fights after the tournament and helping me stay somewhere and everything." I said not looking at her in the face.
She perked her eyebrow up. Oooof she can see right through me…
"Is that so? Xiao We gave you enough money for everything. You shouldn't demand so much." Mom said giving me a look but then she relaxed.
"Sorry Honey I know you're tired. Do you want to carry on?" she asked as her smile returned.
"Yeah mother…" I told them about the tournament. How had it gone how much money I made... um yeah not that much since it got wasted it on the time machine but then again I never told them about that. They wouldn't believe me anyway so I just said I wanted to make money for the family.
I also didn't include Jin part either. I would eventually have to tell mom about it but not now. Right now I just wanted to forget. I didn't care about his reasons but if I didn't then how come it hurt so much. Just breathe Xiao…I commanded myself.
"But Lingie, you fought a hell of a lot in the tournament, I can't believe they didn't give you any money." Insisted dad. If only he knew. So now I had to come up with a good reason to where my money went. Crap.
"Yeah I know! Can you believe that? I fought some really good battles but they wouldn't pay. Since the new person running the tournament was messed up, he didn't pay so much! We had to go to the finals for the big prize. I never made it though. Not to finals." I said looking down. I just wanted to go to sleep.
"Don't feel bad honey! You did a great job. We saw you!" Smiled mom giving me a warn rub against my arm. She was sitting in the back though so it felt a bit awkward.
"Its okay mother. I just went to have fun and I guess I have!" I breathed happily.
"What fighting? Pow punch smash!" laughed dad while trying to concentrate on the road.
"Yeah daddy! I'm pretty tough ya know!" I said a bit annoyed.
"Everyone knows that Xiao!" Said Dad ruffling my hair.
The rest of the journey went on me talking a bit and mom asking me questions. When we finally got home it was about 9pm.
I was so happy to be home. I have quite a big house… I thought since Miharu's house was way smaller compared to this. I felt so nostalgic when I entered.
"Mom, is my room still the same?" I asked out of nowhere.
"Sure is, you want anything to eat?" she asked.
"No, um when is grampy coming?" I asked again staring at the floor. Why was I so tired?
"Tomorrow at 5am. He couldn't make it back tonight ling." Mom finished as she grabbed my luggage and started to push it against the nearby wall. Grandpa Wang lived in the city while me and my family lived in a village about 30 minutes away.
"OH!" I sighed in defeat. I knew what this meant. Then I said, "We have to start training tomorrow?"
"Yes Xiao but I'll join you. Now come on, go upstairs and sleep!" she commanded me.
"Good night Xiaoyu." Said both of my parents.
I made my way up to my room and felt the surrounding area. It was mostly the same. My bed in the deep pink covers, the large window at the opposite wall. My oak armoire wardrobe stood at the other end of the room and my desk opposite it. I sighed happily. It was good to be back.
I walked up to my desk and opened up the drawer. Inside I saw pencils, pens all neatly stacked up. (Mom must have cleaned up) I also saw books, mostly math and a small photo album. I grabbed that and then I sat down on my bed and examined the pictures.
Aw, there was me, Chun ling and Shu fang. We were all sitting in the café that day drinking strawberry milkshake. I remember that we had so much fun. Those were the days before the third tournament. Me and my gals were spending a lot of time together since they weren't gonna see me when I went to Japan. I guess I have to see them soon. I don't know how they'll take me though, since I decided to stay in the Mishima high school for another two years. I hope they can forgive me.
I flipped the page and seen some more photos of me and my auntie Ning. I miss her so much! She is my moms sister and I and her get on so well. My family came to watch the tournament and that when I seen her last. I'll probably see her tomorrow.
Turned more pages and more photos of our family, but wait...huh? I saw a photo of me wearing my mishima school outfit. Oh I remember… Last time I came home was about a year ago. Back then I bought some photos with me to show the family. Suddenly I had an ominous feeling.
I slowly flicked the page. No. I quickly shut my eyes but it didn't mean that I didn't see it…
"No, No, nooo!" I cried throwing the photo album away. I saw it. Me and Jin together by the school yard… In that photo of us and I looked so happy. No! Memories came rushing back. I tried every trick in the book to clear my mind but nothing. Tears flowed down as I gently fell and wept quietly. Why? Why... Why?
I was walking up a hill… the sun hadn't risen yet. It was early morning… walking, kept walking till I saw Miharu's cottage. Huh?
Then I saw her. 'Miharu!' I yelled. Nothing! She ran away from me.
'Mi.' I sad quietly and started following her. She never replied. She ran. I ran. Fast, so fast. Never being able to catch up to her.
She ran into the forest. I followed. Suddenly I couldn't find her. 'MI? Answer me now!" I screamed. Nothing… She disappeared.
I sensed something that told me to watch out so I quickly turned around with my fighting pose ready. Still nothing… This place was making me mad. 'Hello?' I asked. No reply. Then out of nowhere I heard a scream. Rushing to it I saw Jin. He's your enemy! My mind told itself and I quickly summoned my fighting position yet again but then it seemed wrong. Jin would never hurt me. Well he would but not kill and not unless he definitely had to.
"Jin?" I asked wearily. "Should I go back to Japan?" I asked again, not sure of what the answer could be. But he didn't say anything.
"Jin. Please!" I pleaded with grief. But this time Jin looked at me. He looked different. He looked evil. Untrustworthy. Then, as if by the devil, he opened his third eye. I screamed. Then Lighting shot me. I couldn't see where it came from but it definitely knocked me out.
I felt like I was falling down a mountain when suddenly I woke up.
"Arghhhh!" I screamed with sweat as I took in my surroundings. It was all a dream but it felt so real. I remember now that I had fallen asleep after I cried last night. Oooof I hated that dream. I got up and checked the clock. 5: am. Training in freezing conditions. Great. Well At least I get to see grandpa again. I tied my hair in two pigtails and made my way down.
