This is my 2nd story for Eleonore Kliesen! :D
I hope you, like it!
She is standing in front of Mishima Polytechnic, wearing the girls' uniform and also her red gloves. She found herself breaking a sweat and getting nervous for her first day.
Until a guy called out. "Hey, are you okay? The guy asked. She turns around and found herself staring at the tall blonde boy, who is wearing a uniform. "Uhh…umm…yeah, perfectly fine…"
"Are you new here? I haven't seen you before…"he asked.
"…Yeah, I'm the new student from Germany." she replied.
"Oh, I see…so, are you lost or something? Because you look troubled."
"I'm lost on my way to my class." The guy looked on his watch, "Hmm, it's still early. Maybe I can accompany you to your class."He suggests. "Oh, thank you, though, I hope I'm not troubling you to your schedule." she politely state.
"No, not at all, by the way, I'm Steve Fox. I'm from England, nice to meet you, uhh…"
"Oh, I'm Eleonore Kliesen, just call me Leo, it's more comfortable." She introduced with a smile. Steve just stares at her smiling face, and he found himself blushing. Hwoarang, Steve's best friend, pass by and saw Steve blushing, he just snicker and began walking to their direction. "Uhh…yeah, nice to meet you Eleo- I mean Leo." He said smiling awkwardly. "Hey! Steve!" Hwoarang called out. Both Leo and Steve turns to Hwoarang's direction.
"Hey Hwoa, what's up?"
"So, who is this pretty lady?"
Leo heard that statement, and snorts in the word 'pretty lady'
"Oh, this is Ele- I mean Leo, she's from Germany" Steve introduced her to Hwoarang.
"Her name seems boyish though." Hwoarang said.
"I'm much comfortable with it."Leo replied.
"So, what're you doing here? I thought Lili is waiting for you? You don't want her to be angry." Steve told Hwoarang.
Leo heard the name 'Lili' butt in to ask questions.
"Lili? Emilie De Rochefort? She's here?" Leo happily asked.
"Uhh… yeah, you know her?" Hwoarang answered for her.
"I don't just know her, we're childhood friends. Do you know what class is she? I visited her in Monaco last month, but she wasn't there."
"She's in class B-3, we're classmates with her. What class are you anyway?" Steve asked.
"Hmm…Let's see…" Leo pauses for a minute to find her schedule in her notebook. "Oh! I'm in class B-3 too."
Hwoarang just smirked to Steve. "That's nice Leo, you could meet Lili again; Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Hwoarang from South Korea and Lili's boyfriend." He said.
"Oh, I'm Eleonore Kliesen from Germany, call me Leo and please take care of Lili."She said and bowed.
"Let's go now. Lili's still waiting for Hwoarang." Steve said.
On the hallway to their classroom, Mr. Law saw them and the new student. "Steve, is that the new student?" "Aye, she was lost, so, we accompany her."
"Okay, you two…" pointed at Steve and Hwoarang, "go inside now, I'll introduce the new student first to the class."
Steve and Hwoarang obeyed. "See you later, Leo." Steve said and stares at Leo, and Leo stares back at him, she just gives a small smile, then Steve break the eye contact and goes inside.
~Inside the Room of B-3
"Okay class, quiet, we have a new student; Please introduced yourself." Mr. Law said.
Leo walks inside nervously.
"Uhh…Hi everyone, I'm Eleonore Kliesen, from Germany." She introduced herself. "So, anyone has a question for the new student?" some students raised their hand to ask a question, Mr. Law picked some students.
"How old are you?"One guy asked.
"I'm nineteen years old."Leo answered.
"What are your hobbies?"A girl asked.
"Spelunking." Other students just stare unbelievably to Leo.
Lili at first doesn't pay attention to the new student's introduction, but when she heard the word spelunking, she thought of Leo, her childhood friend. She looks up and her eyes widened. "Leo!?"Lili exclaimed. Leo just smile at her. "Hey Lili."
"Oh my god! Why didn't you inform me that you're going Japan too?"
Leo turns silent. She can't explain it to her this time, so she looked on Lili's eyes seriously, and Lili understands it. "Okay fine, later…but you better give me a good explanation." Lili said.
Mr. Law then, gives Leo her seat, which is beside Steve.
"Oh hey, Steve." Leo greeted.
"Hey, Leo…umm… so, what do you say for this class?"Steve asked.
"Hmm, I guess it's alright…" She replies and smiled. Steve just smiled back while Lili and Hwoarang snickered to him.
"By the way Leo, let's talk later under that tree when break time…" said Lili.
"Okay, I'll tell you everything there…" Leo said softly.
Hwoarang and Steve who's in their seat just looked at each other, "There's something wrong, definitely..." said Steve. "Yeah, she looked sad when Lili asked her about that." said Hwoarang. "Let's just leave the things to Lili; I guess she has a way to cheer up her childhood friend." said Steve. "Of course she can." said Hwoarang indignantly.
"Hwoa!" Lili called out, she's with Leo, just came out from the classroom.
"Oh hey, I thought, you'll have an alone time with Leo today?" he asked. He and Steve was supposed to be going in the rooftop, so that Lili and Leo would have their alone-time-lunch-friend.
"Well, yeah… But I guess, she could also tell that to you and Steve, also it has a concern in the Iron Fist Tournament…" said Lili, though the last part was just a whisper.
"…"
"…" was just the boys replied.
"Come on! Let's go to my favorite spot!" Lili dragged Hwoarang, while Steve and Leo just followed them.
~~~ At Lili's Favorite Tree ~~~
The four seated in a red blanket, they have their lunch in a picnic basket that Lili's loyal butler, Sebastian, brought for her. They started eating.
"So, how's Aunt Emma?" Lili started the conversation. Leo accidentally dropped her spoon, and the trio stopped eating, and saw Leo has a blank look. Seconds have passed, she replied.
"…She died just last two months…" She said softly then looked away, you could see her eyes, a little watery.
"… I can't believe it… How did she die?!" Lili asked, though shock could also see in her face. The boys just remained quiet.
"She was killed by an unknown assassin." Said Leo, she leave her seat and stood up then looked around to have a distraction, she can't cry, not in front of her friends, she can't make herself weak.
"But then, why are you in the list of fighters in the 6th Iron Fist Tournament?" Steve asked.
"You know about that?" asked Leo a little shocked.
"Well, Hwoarang, Lili and I, joined that tournament last year." Steve explained.
"Lili?! You joined that dangerous contest? What for? You already have everything." said Leo
"Nuh uh! That Mishima Zaibatsu makes my father stressed in work, and also, I still want a rematch with Asuka Kazama." explained Lili.
"I see, so, have different reasons huh..."
"And what's your reason then?" Lili asked.
"I suspected Kazuya Mishima killed my mom." Leo said. Steve, Hwoarang, and Lili was shocked on that, well, what would Kazuya Mishima want to Kliesen family, that he killed Emma?
I know its a little short, but I tried so, please review! :D
