DISCLAIMER:I do NOT own Tekken or any of their characters. Thank you and enjoy~
Hello everyone! How have you all been? I'm so happy to be back! Finally it's the summer, so that means I have more time to write fanfics! I spent quite of bit of time thinking over how I would start this new story and it's finally here! Hehe. Enjoy!
Ling Xiaoyu is just an ordinary high school girl who lives an ordinary life (well except for that fact that she is an amazing Chinese martial artist who has competed in many tournaments and won many matches against others). A boy named Jin Kazama captured her feelings 3 years ago when they became friends during her 1st year of high school.
Jin had always been easy going and cool until some serious problems started arising during his last year of school (4th year) ; his father and grandfather started battling over who gets to dominate a powerful company called the Mishima Zaibatsu. Of course this meant war between the three family members; Jin became more and more serious as the problem grew bigger and bigger. It affected his mood and the way he acted around others, he occasionally talked amongst his usual group of friends during basketball practice but other than that, he kept to himself.
Unsure of what Jin's true feelings were for her, Xiaoyu decided that this year would be different. Since she was already a 3rd year student, she has finally decided to personally confess and exchange feelings with him in hopes of getting the results she has always dreamed of.
She looked around the classroom and saw her classmates happily chatting to one another about afterschool plans and club activities; after a few minutes had passed, she started to wonder where her usual group of friends were and why they were not there chatting with her. Before she could finish her thoughts, someone tapped her on the shoulder.
Miharu: "Xiao, do you still want to go to the arcade after school?"
Xiao: "Huh?...Oh yeah, I don't have Kyudo practice today so I'm free."
Miharu: "Okay cool! Oh, Aya and Sayuri want to come with us."
Xiao: "Okay, the more the better!"
Suddenly the classroom door swings open and reveals the most charming boy in school: Jin Kazama. He looked around the classroom until his eyes rested upon the lovely Xiaoyu, as he walked towards her, her heartbeat sped up and her eyes became focused on him only. He walked to her desk then held her hand and stood her up.
"Jin…hi….um …..How are you?"
Jin: "I'm perfectly fine now, my little lotus flower."
*He slightly smiled as one of his hands started to slowly make its way down to the small of her back, and the other, gently stroking her cheek. As he starts moving in closer towards her face, her cheeks gradually turn a blushing red as she closes her eyes.*
(Xiao's thoughts)
I-is he really going to….is this the moment I've been waiting for!
Their lips were just inches apart…but then she woke up.
*She opened her eyes and blinked a few times to clear her foggy vision.*
Miharu: *lightly shaking her* "Xiao…Xiao wake up already before our Sensei walks in!"
Xiao: *raises her head up and wipes the drool off the side of her face* "Huh?"
*She quickly looks around and sees everyone getting their school supplies out*
"Oh…..so it was just a dream. How long was I asleep?"
Miharu: "Basically our whole break time. Were you having a lovey dovey dream about Jin again? Did he declare his love for you and sweep you off your feet like last time?"
Xiao: "Shhh….be quiet Miharu, stop saying those type of things out loud."
Miharu: "Ha ha ha…I'm sorry, I can't help it. So when are you two getting married?"
Xiao: *slight pushes her shoulder* "Be quiet."
Miharu: "Tee heee hee hee. So...did you bring any of your fabulous home cooked meals and treats today?"
Xiao: *smiles* "Yes! Today I brought Botamochi ((ぼたもち))
(a seasonal treat made with sweet rice and red bean paste.)
Miharu: "Oooo…I love when you make those! Yours are always the best!"
Xiao: "Aww, thank you."
Miharu: "So how are you and Jin?"
Xiao: "How are Jin and I?…..Miharu." *slightly blushes* "It sounds like we're a couple when you say it like that."
Miharu: *smirks* "So what? When are you two going to confess to each other? I've been waiting since our 1st year of high school for that moment!"
Xiao: *looks around* "Shh, Please be quiet!"
Miharu: "Oh come on now, you should hurry up and tell him how you feel. You've been crushing on him for like….ever, and I'm sure he feels the same way."
Xiao: "It's just….I'm nervous. I've never confessed my feelings to anyone before so there are a thousand different scenario's going on in my head. He could say yes, he could say no, he could…."
Miharu: "Look, you've been friends for a long time already, and you've also been through quite a bit together…Heck, you even fought side by side with him!"
Xiao: "I know, I know. But when it comes to talking about these types of feelings….."
Miharu: "Maybe you should bring him some of your delicious meals. It's like that one saying: 'The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.' "
Xiao: Haven't you seen his fan club attempt that? He turned down every single one of those girl's desserts and lunch offerings.
Miharu: "Well that's just because their names aren't Ling Xiaoyu."
Xiao: *quietly giggles to herself* "You're right, but still…..we're not as close as before. I feel like he's distanced himself from me; he looks like he has a lot on his mind these days."
Miharu: "Oh come on Xiao, just give it a try. If he doesn't accept your delicious dish, then he's totally missing out on the best home cooked food in town!"
*Xiao takes the compliment to heart and smiles at her supportive friend.*
2 hours later…
In the cafeteria...
Jin's fan club came up with an idea that during lunch time, there would be a competition. The main idea was who could impress Jin first. They all brought tasty treats for him and followed him around the cafeteria like a herd of puppies.
Girls: "Jin please try our food!"
*He cooley walks past them and sits at a lunch table, then begins eating his meal. They follow and sit with him*
Harumi: "Jin, I brought you my special homemade sushi rolls!"
Kira: "Jin honey, I brought you some Sukiyaki soup!"
Mitsuki: "Well, I brought you something better! Tonkatsu."
(Tonkatsu is a deep fried pork cutlet)
Hana: "My goodness….he's so hot!"
*He ignores them and continues to calmly eat his own food.*
A group of guys sitting at a table across the lunch room were watching this incredible scene go down.
Shin: "Damn….how did he gain that much popularity with the girls?"
Koji: "I bet that if I buffed up a bit, all the girls would be over here right now."
Ren: "Hey now, it's not like we don't have a fan girl group of our own! We're just as cool and popular as him."
Daichi: *looks around* "Then where are they and why haven't they brought me food to eat yet?"
Ren: "Uh….They're just taking a short break….fan girls need breaks too ya know."
Koji: "Yeah whatever, I want to know Kazama's secret."
Shin: "That dude has all the girls in the palm of his hand."
Daichi: "Yeah I know, he even has Oka falling for him…..and she's a major babe!"
Koji: "It's not fair, I've been trying to get Oka's attention for the past TWO years and it's like as soon as that guy enters the room everyone's eyes are on him."
Ren: "Well maybe your totally not her style."
*Koji gives him a glare*
Daichi: "Come on you guys; let's not get upset over a bunch of dumb girls who have no good taste in men."
Koji: *slams his fist onto the table* "To hell with that, I want Oka's attention!"
Xiaoyu and Miharu sat a couple tables away from Jin and his crowd; she couldn't keep her eyes off of him. Miharu soon took notice and waved a hand in front of Xiao's face in attempt to break her stare.
Miharu: "Earth to Xiaoyu, are you paying attention?"
Xiao: "Uh….what? Yeah of course I was paying attention, you were saying something about cats?"
Miharu: "Okay seriously Xiao, PLEASE try and listen when I tell you stuff. I was trying to tell you about that new cute boy that transferred to my class today, his name is Satoshi and he plays soccer… You know what, why don't you go over there and talk to Jin yourself instead of staring at him from way over here huh?"
Xiao: "No way."
Miharu: "Don't you want him to know how you truly feel about him?"
Xiao: "Yes and no."
Miharu: "What the heck is that supposed to mean?"
Xiao: "Of course I want him to know how I feel, but….. "
Miharu: "But what?"
Xiao: "Like I said before, we're not as close as we were before. Just thinking about talking to him makes me nervous."
Miharu: "Don't talk nonsense Xiao, if he likes you then he'll accept your feelings and be with you. You're the prettiest girl I know so how could he say no to you?"
Xiao: "Miharu, you're the most treasurable friend anyone could ask for. You know what; I think I'll do it! I'll confront him and go on with my 'Confess to Jin' plan and see what happens from there!"
Miharu: "Now that's the Xiaoyu I know."
*quickly whispers * "it's about time, it's his last year and I want to see you two together already."
Xiao: "Did you say something?"
Miharu: "No, not at all." *smiles cheekily*
(Miharu's thoughts)
What could go wrong? I'm certain that Jin likes her just as much as she likes him. I mean he's always staring at her like she's the prettiest girl on the planet. How sweet is that?
*Xiaoyu stood up from her seat and marched on over to Jin's table. She attempts to squeeze in-between the fan girls towards Jin.*
Xiao: "Jin, I have something to tell you."
*He looked up and around but all he could see were the faces of the fan girls in front of him, so he shrugs then quickly finishes his meal and leaves. The fan girls begin to follow after him.*
"No, don't go Jin…I have to…ugh….move out of the way!"
*She pushes one of the fan girls aside and stumbles to where he sat. She looks at the empty seat with a sadden look upon her face.*
"It's okay, I'll just tell him a bit later then."
30 minutes later….
At this time, students are given a break from their academic learning to relax and chat amongst each other. Xiaoyu took this opportunity to confront Jin and tell him how she felt, so she left her classroom and visited his. When she spotted him, she began feeling butterflies roam around her stomach.
(Xiao's thoughts)
This is it, there is no distraction here. He's finally sitting alone…I can do this!
*She was now only a few feet behind/away from his desk, she reached her hand out towards him, preparing to tap his shoulder.*
Xiao: *smiles* "Jin…"
Takeshi: *looking back at his friend while walking forward* "See you later Ryo, I'm going to finish that poem that is due tomorrow."
*Before Xiaoyu could even touch Jin, Takeshi collides and falls onto her. At this exact moment, Jin's friend calls out to him to join their group discussion about basketball techniques they could use after school. *
Xiao: *reaches her hand out towards him as he walks away.* "No."
*She starts to notice warm, heavy breathing blowing up against her face, so she looks up into the eyes of Takeshi. He is a shy and quiet classmate of Jin's who often gets picked on by the same group of guys everyday.*
Takeshi: *blushing madly* "X-Xiaoyu….I...uh…"
Xiao: "Takeshi….you're crushing me."
Takeshi: "Oh I'm sorry!" *quickly gets up and helps her*
Xiao: "Aww Takeshi I was about to talk to Jin!"
Takeshi: "I'm sorry that I interrupted you Xiaoyu." *frowns*
Xiao: "Ugh…..don't worry, it's okay. I'll just have to try again later."
Takeshi: "Please, if there is anything I can do for you….."
Xiao: *looks down in disappointment* "No, this isn't something you can help me with." *walks back to her classroom*
4 hours later (near the end of the day)…..
Every day after the academic part of school was over, everyone attends they're club/activity meetings and practices. (Jin was a part of the basketball team, Xiao was a part of the Kyudo club and Miharu was a part of the volleyball club. )
There was still 20 minutes left until the Kyudo club started their session, so Xiaoyu took this time to see where Jin was. She had thought up many different ways on how she could approach him with style.
(Xiao's thoughts)
I feel like I've been chasing him all over the place today, it's like I can't even talk to him without booking an appointment first! Hmm…maybe I should meet him somewhere outside of school.
*She sat down cross legged in the hallway and took a piece of paper out, and began writing a short note that read: 'Jin, please meet me at the park near my house. I wish to speak with you about something that's been on my mind.' At the bottom of the note, she signed her name with a heart*
Xiao: "Okay, this time I won't fail!"
*She stood up and walked over to the gym doors and took a peek in.*
Inside the Gym…..
Since he had already practiced earlier, he took a seat on the benches and watched the others continue on practicing. He noticed a waving motion outside the gym doors and saw that it was Xiaoyu trying to get his attention, so he got up and walked to the doors to greet her.
Jin: "Xiao, what are you doing here?"
Her heart fluttered as his eyes connected with hers, seeing his face up close was like a breath of fresh air.
Xiao: *smiles* "Hi Jin."
Jin: "Hi Xiao." *slightly smiles*
There she stood with a pleasant smile upon her lips, staring at his handsome face without any thoughts in mind.
"Um….Xiao are you alright?"
Xiao: "Huh? Oh! Yes I'm okay! Heh….." *looks down and blushes* "I wanted to give you this." *hands him the note* "See you later." *brightly smiles at him, then quickly leaves for her Kyudo club meeting.*
He watched her walk down the hallway and disappear around the corner; Before he could open up the note, one of his team members call out to him.
Takao: "Jin are you done talking to your girlfriend yet? We have to get more practice time in if we want to win that tournament."
Jin: *blushes* "Uh…..yeah I'm coming." *puts the note away in his bag, then walks back to the group.*
Kyo: "Ha ha ha no way Kazama, is Ling Xiaoyu really your girlfriend? Damn, I was thinking about asking her to go with me to the spring festival." *smiles teasingly*
*Jin gives him a death glare.*
Shin: "Be careful with what you say Kyo, he might rip you head off if you keep talking about taking his girlfriend on a date." *His cheeky smile fades away as he too, received a death glare.*
Jin: "Can we just get on with our practice."
Kazuo: "Alright alright, pretty boy. Let's play ball!"
So there you have it, chapter one complete!
THANK YOU for reading and I hope you enjoyed!
I'll be sure to post the second chapter as soon as I can. :)
