Chapter one: A new begging.
A year has passed since the ending of the Iron Fist Tournament 5 and we find some of the participants in Japan minding they're own busyness. Xiaoyu goes to The Mishima University (some university Heihachi founded at the end of IFT 4), she studies interior decoration, here fav professor being Anna Williams (old friend of hers from Iron Fist). Jin took over the Mishima Zaibatsu (he's doing a good job, he was made for the CEO Job) and he and Ling have been going steady for a few months. Julia is also a student at Mishima University (she studies archeology, dah!) and she's Xiaoyus' roommate.
Well that was just the main presentation, here comes the story
Jin stood still in he's chair gazing over Tokyo from his office and wandered what to do with Xiaoyu. Well he liked her very much but he didn't love her they way she should be loved. And then, to complicate things, there was Julia. Since she moved in with Xiaoyu, he couldn't get her out of his mind. Even when he kissed Xiaoyu, he could see Julia in front of him, not Ling. The best thing to do was to confront Xiaoyu and Julia with his feelings and hope it will work out. He closed his eyes thinking of what to say to his girlfriend. Then his phone rang. He picked it up slowly and listened to the secretary's voice:
-Mr. Kazama, Miss Ling is here to see you.
-Send her in, Miss Takashi.
He placed the phone back and waited for Xiaoyu to come in. The massive oak door opened and a bright and happy Ling stepped in the office. She was wearing a short pink dress with flowers that he had given her for her birthday. She smiled at Jin and went to kiss him. Her lips approached Jin's but he sat up from his chair and moved to the window. Xiaoyu's smile faded and she went next to Jin. She took his massive hand with her delicate fingers, but Jin pulled his hand away. Xiaoyu was stunned:
-What's wrong Jin? Why are you so cold with me?
Jin looked in to her worried eyes and then turned away. He sat back in his chair and Xiaoyu stepped in front of him. She tries to look in his eyes, but he kept avoiding her gaze. Then the phone rang again. Jin picked it up and started talking with a client of his. Xiaoyu took a seat in front of his desk waiting nervously for the conversation to end. She new something was wrong, but couldn't realize what. Jin was being so distant with her that she gotten even a bit scared of what he would say. Jin said a polite good bye to his client and hanged up, turning to face Xiaoyu.
He finally looked her in the eyes and said with a soft but cold voice, trying not to heart her:
-Xiaoyu, I know you don't like pointless stories, so I'm just going to say this straight, I...I...
-Jin, say it all ready! said an irritated Ling
-Xiao, I loved you from the minute I saw you, but not in the way you deserve it. I loved you more like a sister, not like a girlfriend, and for that I am sorry for deceiving you. We will always be together, but not as lovers, as friends...
-Xiaoyu was in shock. Her sweet face was blank and tears of pain formed in her soft brown eyes. She didn't want to hear any more she closed her eyes not wanting to face Jin and said in a serious town of voice:
-Is there some one else? Be honest with me Kazama, because I won't take anymore crap from you and you're talk about love! So spare me!
Jin looked at her in disbelieve. She had never used his sir name before and he could see by her voice that she was very angry and sad at the same time. He sighted and lowered his voice:
-It's Julia. he muttered
-What?! Julia?! If you love Julia that much why did you make fun of me all these weeks making me think that we had something going on between us?
-Xiao, I...
-That's Ling for you Kazama. Only friends call me Xiao!
And with that she got up and stormed out the office and building and walked fast down the street. She didn't even call for a cab. She was too lost in her own thoughts to think of pulling a cab over.
"How could I've been so blind?! All those smiles and hugs between them and the phone talks and the flirting, with Julia giggling like a little girl. How could I have not seen this coming?! "She thought.
Tears were welding up in her eyes and a few of them slid down her chicks to her chin then disappeared in the hot air of a usual day in Tokyo. The sun stood in the middle of the sky lavishing the Tokyo sky scrapers with its warm light. The beautiful blue skies that Xiaoyu admired lovingly this morning seemed so grey and cloudy know.
In a mature of few minutes this young Chinese girl had lost what she believed to be the love of her life. Living seemed a pointless action for her without Jin by her side. She missed him already and would have loved to cuddle at his masculine warm chest. But no more. Jin didn't want her any more. Well he still wanted to be her friend, but she shot him off with harsh words not usually found in her every day vocabulary. She gave up on his friendship the minute she had called him "Kazama "not Jin as always.
This wasn't like always. He shattered her fragile hart in to pieces and "sorry "just wasn't enough. After a ten minute walk she had reached the building. She opened the door and started walking up the stairs to her apartment. She was to nervous to wait for the buildings' broken down elevator. She needed to talk to Julia. She couldn't delay it even a second more. It was Monday and she new for certain that her roommate was home: Julia didn't have classes on Monday.
She ran up to her apartment door and opened it slowly trying to appear calm in front of her roommate. Julia was sitting in front of her talking on the phone. She was still dressed in her pajamas, even though it was almost lunch time. Her hair was tied at the back of her head as usual, in two long tails, but Xiaoyu couldn't see the expression on her face. She had her back turned to her.
Then she turned round to see Xiaoyu with a sad face:
-Yes, good bye. She made a pause then she continued looking at Xiaoyu. That was him (come on! You have to be stupid not to know who "him" is!), he told me what happened. Xiao, we need to talk.
She sat in a chair and gestured to Xiaoyu to do the same. Xiaoyu took a seat in front of her and looked at Julia. Finally she spoke:
-Julia, how did this happen?
-Xiao, I'm sorry. I never wanted to take Jin away from you. She said sobbing.
-Yah? Well you did. So what are we going to do?
-Jin asked me to move with him and I'll be leaving later today. I'm going to send some one tomorrow to get my stuff and give you my share of the rent for this month.
-There's no way I'm taking you're money! No offence Julia, but after you leave I never want to hear from you or that bastard again. So, if you don't mind, while you're still packing I'm going out to get some air. Good bye! And with that Xiaoyu got up and left.
She wondered the streets for hours, not wanting to go back home. She stopped in a café and ordered a big cup of black coffee. She didn't really like coffee, but she needed something to wake her up and boost her up with energy. She sighted, took a sip out of her cup and watched people passing by the café's window. Her cell phone rang. She looked at the name listed on the screen. It was Miharu. She must've found out from Julia. After three rings she finally answered:
-Hey, Mi! She said trying to be a bit cheerful. What's up?
-Hi, Xiao! I heard what happened from Julia and I decided to call you. I'm going to a party tomorrow, want to come with me? Before you say no, I already bought a ticket for you with you're credit card.
-How did you get my credit card?
-You forgot it yesterday at my place. So are you coming? Don't want 50$ to go to waste.
-WHAT? Miharu Hirano, what did you waste my money on?
-Don't worry! This place is the bomb. If you don't like it, I'll pay you the money back my self.
-Ok, ok. I'm going.
-Grate! I'll pick you up tomorrow at seven o'clock sharp. See you then! Bye!
-Yah, bye.
It was getting dark and cold outside. Xiaoyu got up after drinking the rest of her coffee and paid the bill.She walked home slowly, thinking of Jin and they're beautiful days spent together. She missed his smile and his kisses. A tear formed in her eye. She quickly wiped it away.
"No! I won't cry anymore for that bastard. While I'm here crying, he already is having fun with his new girlfriend. That beech! She said she didn't want to take Jin away from me. Who would believe her? Ever since I brought Jin home she's been making go-go eyes at him. It isn't all her fault. Jin responded to her trickery. I hate them both. I never want to see they're ugly mugs again!"
Xiao went back home to find her apartment empty and lifeless. She took her shoes off and flopped on the couch. She opened the T.V. and stared at the kissing scene from an old black and white movie. She closed the T.V. and laid her head on some small pillows that were on the couch when she got there. She stared at the ceiling trying to find an answer to her problems.
"Well, I can't afford this place on my own. The rent is huge for one person. I would have to get another part time job, besides the one at the dojo."
Xiao was an excellent martial artist and thought classes at a dojo in town three times a week. The job was good, she loved training there and teaching kids how to defend their selves. The salary was enough to cover the rent and leave her a bit of cash to spare besides her scholarship. But now, she couldn't pay by herself the rent, she needed a new roommate. She decided to go the next morning to the landlady and apply for a new roommate. With that in mind she fell asleep on the soft couch.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next day she got up early. She got dressed, had a shower and ate some cookies on the way to her landlady and her friend Christie Gordo (she had married Eddy a year ago and even had a little girl, of witch Xiao was her godmother).
Xiao stepped in to Christie's office with a smile on her face. She saw little Holly playing on the flour with a teddy bear that she had given her. She took Holly in her arms and kissed her gently on her cheek. She sat her down and went to talk to Christie.
-Hey, Xiao! How's my best girl doing today? Christie smiled.
-Um, fine Christie. How are you and Eddy doing?
-Just fine. So is the reason of this visit?
-I want to apply for a new roommate. Julia left yesterday. I...
-Yes, I know what happened. Don't worry. I know a grate person looking for an apartment in this area. I think you are going to get along just fine. And I'm sure you know him. He's name is...
-Christie, I'm sorry, but I have to roll. I have a class in 5 minutes and I want to make it in time. Said Xiao running out the door.
-Xiao, I'm going to tell him that it's all right to move in today. Ok?
-Yah, yah. Bye!
Xiao got to her class just in time and took a seat in front. Ten seconds later, a woman dressed in a powder blue suite, with short black skirt and dark blue high heels entered the room. She sat her purse on the desk in front of the class and chanted cheer full good morning. She smiled and went back to her desk:
-Well, you all did a very good job on you're projects and there are a lot of good marks. And I want to congratulate Miss Ling for her Phoenix hotel redecoration project. A very good job indeed! Now lets get back to work. Are lesson for today is: "How to use light effects in decorating massive spaces".
At the end of the class, when Xiao was heading to the dojo, at the over end of town, Miss Williams stopped her for a friendly chat and to tell her she had sent her project to the "Williams constructions" firm, her sister's firm, Nina Williams.Xiao was so proud of herself. She had a job ensured after she got her degree and a new roommate, for that matter. "All in one day." She thought. After grabbing a bite to eat she headed towards the "Law Dojo".
After the tournament had ended Forest had decided to start his own busyness in Tokyo. "Law Dojo" was a small dojo at the far end of Tokyo were most of the clients were kids and street punks that found shelter at Law's place. Xiao stepped out of the cab and opened the door entering the dojo. Here class was waiting for here to come. Forest was at his desk, in the corner working out the bills for the rent.
Xiao passed Forest and bit him a friendly hi. Forest razes his head and smiled at Xiao.
First she went to her locker to change in her usual fighting clothes. She put on here most comfortable outfit that consisted of a pair of red pants, medium in length, a red and pink blouse and her favorite dark brown sandals. She walked in to her classroom and smiled to her students.
Most of her students were going very well, but some just didn't have talent. But Xiao never made them feel bad. She cheered them up and assured them that they would to better next time. Her fav student though was a young Japanese girl, with short brown hair and green eyes. She managed to learn the Bagua, Rain Dance and hard combinations faster then the others. Xiao was keen on making this girl the best fighter she ever seen. After her lesson, Xiao returned to her locker-room to change in to her everyday clothes. She looked at her watch.
"6:30!? I'll never get ready in time for Miharu's party. Oh well, I'm going to go directly at her place and ask her to lend me one of her dresses." And with that Xiao got dressed up and went to Miharu.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miharu was in her bedroom trying on dresses when her best friend first knocked at the door. Dressed in only a pink towel rapped around her waste she greeted Xiao:
-Hey, sweetie! What's up? You're a half-hour early, and you can't be going in those pants?!
-Nice to see you too, Mi. Well, I didn't have time to go back at my place and I was wondering if you can lend me some clothes for the party.
-Sure! Come on in.
Xiao entered Miharu's apartment and sat on her couch. Miharu went in to her bedroom to change and get some clothes out for her friend. Meanwhile, Xiao took a bottle of Coke from Miharu's fridge and went out side on the balcony. She started thinking of the day that gone bye. She thought of Christie, of her classes and then without knowing she thought of her new room mate.
She was curios of who he was. Christie told her that she knew him, but all the guys she ever knew were her teachers, Forest, the bastard and Eddy. She was trying to think of any possible guy that she knew and might be searching for a place to stay, when Miharu could back in. Her friend was dressed in a short black leather skirt and a white transparent top:
-I'm ready; let's see how you would look in this. And she put a dress in Xiao's hands and pushed her into the bathroom so she could change.
Xiao didn't have time to say anything else. Miharu had shoved her into the bathroom with a silky pink dress in her hands. She tried on the dress. It was perfect for her. It slides down her hips reviling her once well hidden curves and her beautiful legs. She looked ravishing in that simple pink dress. She admired her self in the mirror and found that her hair style wasn't appropriate to this dress. She untied her pigtails and swung her hair left and right. Her shoulder long silky black hair was the finishing touch to add to her new appearance. She left the bathroom to show Miharu how the dress fitted:
-I thought that would look good on you that is why I bought it.
-Oh, I can pay you bag for the dress.
-Don't worry I bought it with you're credit card.
-MIHARU! What the hell are you trying to do? Leave me broke?
-You'll thank me for this.
-Yah, yah, sure.
They both took they're purses and left for the club. They got there in record time and went in without a problem. Miharu found a cute guy at the bar and went to dance on her favorite house track. Xiao took a seat at a table and ordered a drink. The party was nice but Xiao didn't really enjoy it. She wasn't in the mood for parties. She took her purse and left Miharu in the club with her admirers.
The night was chilly so Xiao stopped a cab and went home. At home, a half sleepy Xiao took the door key from her coat pocket and tried to open the door. The odd thing was that the door wasn't locked and she remembered that she had turned the key twice before leaving. She opened it slowly afraid of any possible burglar attacks. She looked around trying to find the light switch. She felt the wall with her fingertips and when she finally found the switch, she felt a masculine hand going over her little one. She turned on the light and hit the first thing she saw with her free hand.
A tall, well build man fell to the flour holding his right eye with his hands. Xiao took a better look at him. She couldn't see his face but she recognized who it was by his long red hair:
- Hwoarang? Is that you? Xiao asked in disbelief.
The man on the flour nodded.
-What the hell are you doing here?
-Didn't Christie tell you? I'm you're new roommate. Hwoarang said, his voice muffled by his hands. Did you have to give me a black eye?
Xiao ran to the kitchen and came out three minutes later with a bag of ice. She sat down in her knees next to Hwoarang and put the bag on his eye. Hwoarang held the bag with one hand and turned to face Xiao:
-Know why the fuck did you have do that?
-I thought you were a burglar. I'm sorry.
-You're sorry and I have to wear sunglasses for at least two weeks!
-Hey! I was tired and I wasn't thinking right.
-I noticed that.
-Don't call me stupid! Xiao snapped.
-I wasn't calling you stupid. He paused and Xiao relaxed. Just plane dumb. He continued.
-Xiao got up, grabbed her purse and headed to her bedroom.
-Night, killer! Hwoarang said in a sweet tone.
-See you in the morning, pansy! Xiao responded
-Mann killer!
-Pansy!
And with that said they both went to bed. Xiao with angry and her new room mate with a smile on his face.
A/N: Well that was chapter one. Next chapter (and the rest for that matter) witness Xiao and Hwoarang annoy each over in different ways (on purpose or not) :)
