Chapter One.
"Uh oh..." Jin stammered as he stared at me. He wanted to run. He really did. You can tell by the way he was visibly shaking in fear. He was trembling so bad, you'd probably think there's an earthquake. Jin began sweating profusely as boogers started dripping from his nose, whimpering while holding a distorted facial expression. And I think he took a crap in his pants. Well, whatever's happening and whatever was going through his mind wasn't important. I was too angry at him. He did something very, VERY bad. And I punched him. No, I DESTROYED him. I sent an angry fist to his face, feeling his nasal cavity smashing in as the impact caused his skull to split. There was flying goo everywhere but it wasn't blood. Just his snot. We all know Jin will miraculously survive that hit. But that's not what pissed me off. I punched him to Jinpachi's unconscious body and the idiot grabbed onto him so he could stop flying over the place but he brought Jinpachi with him. Then he landing in front of a bunch of news reporters who were supposed to record the final match between Jinpachi and I but their unexperienced asses were too slow to get to Ground Zero. This is why people should start exercizing more. Because they were both knocked out, everyone assumed Jin won the tournament. That's... what pissed me off.
"I really hate you!" Asuka screamed at the top of her lungs. Her father had recovered quick enough to witness Asuka fighting Lili using her family's fighting style and he was disappointed by her behavior. She was grounded for two months and was forced to clean up after everyone finished practicing. To make matters worse, she has to tutor Lili in Japanese! HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?
"Oh, it was easy. Nina knew who my favorite Power Ranger was and now I get to dress up as the Yellow Ranger for Mardi Gras!" Jin smiled on T.V. and everyone in attendance just looked at each other.
"... Interesting, Mr. Kazama, but what does that have to do with the global crisis with the invasion of G Corporation?" one reporter asked. Jin was about to say something but Nina whispered in his ears.
"Gotta' go! I have a meeting with my stylist!" Jin flipped everyone the bird but recovered with a peace sign. He was still confused with foreign gestures, having lived in a forest for more than half of his life. Waves upon waves of questions were being barked at him and Tekken Force soldiers were holding them off.
Oh. That's how it happened. "I'm going to kill that man!" Asuka shook a fist at the T.V. in her room. She was previously watching a Japanese drama before her program was interrupted.
"Asuka?" Asuka turned to the door which was slightly open and a familiar voice was heard. Asuka quickly changed the channel to a karate show and she sat down all masculine-like. She even put her hands down her shorts like a dude digging his balls but that was really unnecessary... "Asuka, what are you doing?"
"Oh, you know... watching people beat the crap out of each other. What's up, Xiao?"
"Are you sure you're watching guys beat the crap out of each other or fantasizing about guys half-naked touching each other and Jin is sexy."
"What?"
"What?"
"Uh..."
"Nothing. How much longer are you grounded?"
"Two more weeks! Huzzah!" Asuka pumped her fists in the air and was tearing in joy.
"Great! So your old man gave you priveleges during your grounding?"
"Yeah, I can go out but I have to be back before seven. Why, what's up? And why are you smiling like that?" Asuka raised a 'brow at her because Xiaoyu was giving her a devious smile.
"I have something for yooouuu," Xiaoyu said in a sing-song tone.
"Should I ask? No, I shouldn't. What is it?" Asuka gulped.
"Ta-da!" Xiaoyu held out a giant box and a large boquet of roses. Both had a tag saying it was to her from a "mysterious stranger."
"OH GOD. When is Hwoarang going to quit?" Asuka groaned but she accepted them anyway.
"What makes you think it's from him?" Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow at her. Asuka furrowed her eyes at Xiaoyu and pulled out the tag from the box that said, "P.S.: I didn't steal the flowers this time! Love, Hwoarang."
"Does that answer your question?"
"Heh. Well, those are from Hwoarang, the box of chocolates are from Steve."
"Why is more than half of the box half-eaten?" Asuka was studying the box and she noticed that only three were left. She looked to Xiaoyu who had very little hints of chocolate on her lips. Plus, she smelled like caramel.
"Don't look at me!"
"Huh, the note here says they were frog guts."
"EW! ME AND HWOARANG ATE HALF OF THOSE!"
"HAH!"
"FINE! But we were only thinking of you! We know you don't like Steve."
"And we both know I don't like either of them!"
"Well, who do you like?"
"... I dunno'."
"Jeeze, Suki, when are you going to get a boyfriend?"
"Hey! What about you!"
"My eyes are set on one person..." Xiaoyu sighed dreamingly as she clasped her hands together. This made Asuka do a mock gagging action because it was obvious who her crush was.
"Gross."
"Oh, please. Just because he's your cousin doesn't mean anything."
"Okay, let me justify the gross factor by the fact you confessed your love for him while he was taking a dump."
"Ah, what a precious moment!"
"You wouldn't think it was so precious if you had been sober!"
"Shut up!"
"Heh."
"So... exactly what do you do all day?"
"Eh? Well... just this, I guess..." Asuka pointed at her laptop. Evidently, she had been watching videos on YouTube and spent majority of her time playing online video games, especially Maple Story with her favorite female buddy FatalLightningJ. They had gotten so close ever since she helped Asuka get some of the harder items and donated some yen for her avi and the two have been inseparable. They were even PlayStation Network buddies, often playing Modern Warfare 2, Resident Evil 5, Uncharted 2 and others.
"You need a life."
"Hey! I so have a life! Plus, this beats going out and getting smashed drunk every weekend. FLJ is pretty cool."
"You sure that's a girl?"
"Well, FLJ always used female avatars so I assumed she is. Besides, I actually enjoy online gaming because of her! Wish she had a mic, though..."
"Yeah, that would validate her gender."
"I wouldn't really care anyway. Guy or girl, I need to reach the final Prestige and beat my Mercenaries score!"
"... Nerd."
"... Nympho."
"Am not!"
"... Jin stalker."
"That's better." Xiaoyu smiled at her.
"Usually she signs in, but I guess I won't be playing Maple Story tonight..."
"Ew. I bet you play World of... um..."
"Hell no! That's where I draw the line."
"Okay, good."
"So..."
"I'm bored."
"What do you wanna' do?"
"Wanna' watch Hwoarang and Steve get harassed by my father's students?"
"Huh?"
"It's a quarter to five. They usually bang on the gates at that time."
"Do you have popcorn?"
"Let's go!"
Strange as it may seem, Asuka was right about those two. Xiaoyu and Asuka were on the dojo's rooftops with treats while Hwoarang and Steve brawled for a couple of minutes. And as usual, the two made peace, wished each other luck in wooing her, and began a friendly competition of... well, wooing her. Steve put on a cowboy hat and started serenading her with a guitar while Hwoarang got on his knees (in a tuxedo, might I add), while he sang songs from Air Supply. He even finished the number by bowing with a rose in between his teeth and wiggling his eyebrows. The only person clapping was Steve. Asuka and Xiaoyu both exchanged glances at each other, and Asuka made a gagging motion. People passing by either thought they were really sweet or really creepy. A few even put some coins in the guitar case.
"Where's everybody? Don't your daddy's students usually come out now?"
"That's what I'm wondering, too..." Asuka looked at the time on her cell-phone. They've been at it for twenty minutes and nobody chased them away yet. "Where the heck is everyone!" She threw her hands in the air.
"DON'T DO IT, ASUKA!" Steve reached out dramatically. He was extending his arms through the gates.
"Whu'..." Asuka stared blankly.
"You have much to love, you're too young to die!" Hwoarang piped in. He was sticking his face through, so much that you can see his lips trying to squeeze through the gates.
"But I'm not..."
"STEVE!" Nina called out to Steve. Slowly but surely, he turned around to see his mother with her arms folded while tapping her combat boots. Clearly she was angry.
"HAH! You're boned!" Hwoarang was on his way to tease him but was smacked on the back of his head. "Shit..."
"You did not come home after work! I was worried sick of you!" Baek Doo San shouted at his pupil and began dragging him back home. Nina did the same.
"We'll be back for you... MY LOVE!" Steve and Hwoarang shouted while reaching out for her. They began kicking and screaming profanities at their respective care-givers soon after.
"Weird," Xiaoyu stated with a stick of Pocky in her mouth. She was kicking her legs out of boredom after that little spectacle.
"Totally. What's Nina doing here, though? Usually she doesn't leave Jin's side-"
"HI, ASUKA!" Asuka looked down and her blood suddenly disappeared from her veins. She went pale.
"HELL NO!" Asuka shrieked but Xiaoyu fainted after squealing.
No, no, NO! NONONONONO! The person who called for them was none other than Jin Kazama. So that probably explains why Nina was there. Jin entered the gates and started walking sexily. Xiaoyu woke up and squealed again due to his sexiness as he walked in slow motion. Hell, he even had Eddy Gordo with a boombox held over his head to further his sex appeal. Also with him was Christie Monteiro twirling for absolutely no reason and Miguel Rojo shaking maracas while shaking his hips left and right flamboyantly. For what seemed like a century, Jin finally closed the distance between him and the girls and Asuka managed to recover. She was still pissed, though.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, KAZAMA!" Asuka shouted. An apple hit her head. She looked up but saw no tree above them.
"I didn't see you online, SoaringBirdSuki!"
"What?"
"I thought we were going to play Super Street Fighter IV today! And I brought an early copy of Little Big Planet 2!" Jin smiled and held out a copy of LBP2. Asuka's face drained of colour.
"FatalLightningJ?" Asuka asked. Her voice was so hoarse and she was just about to cry. This is my best friend from online?
"Yes, ma'am!" Jin's smile got bigger as he gave her a thumbs up and posed. His upper clothing ripped apart, and his muscles showed. Fan girls swarmed from every corner and Xiaoyu began plucking them away with human-sized tweezers.
"No."
"Not today?"
"You can't be her!"
"Her?"
"You can't be FatalLightningJ!"
"I am?"
"No, you're not!"
"I am him!"
"Impossible! She's actually smart!"
"Oh, you were probably playing with Lili when you guys use text chat."
"LILI?"
"Yeah."
"OH. EM. GEE."
"Small world, eh! I brought extra controllers!"
"I got dibs!" Eddy, Miguel and Christie shouted, rushing into Asuka's room.
"You can't be her! She was... she was my best friend..." Asuka couldn't hold the tears anymore. WHY THE FUCK AM I BEING PUNISHED BY THIS PERVERT AND SNOBBY RICH BITCH?
"HEY!" Xiaoyu huffed.
"My best friend ONLINE, Xiao."
"Better." Xiaoyu smiled and resumed keeping the fan girls away.
"Jin! I haven't seen you in ages!" Jin's uncle greeted Jin.
"Uncle Old Man Kazama!" Jin greeted back. The two began conversing and Asuka continued fuming. She was mostly shocked in disbelief.
"I told that jackass and bitch my darkest secrets... WHY ME?" Asuka got on her knees and shouted to the heavens. She decided to let the heathen gods feel her pain. They sent her Lightning.
"What?" Lightning stared at Asuka after descending from the skies.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Uh... Lightning? Duh."
"GET LOST!" Asuka pushed her off the roof, right ontop of Miguel who took his time rushing in by shaking his hips with maracas in his hands. "I'm doomed."
"We can stay the night? Thanks, Uncle Old Man Kazama! Hey, Asuka, guess what!" Jin called out. Asuka smacked her face repeatedly because she heard Jin the first time.
"What," she asked reluctantly. She already knew what's happening.
"We're sleeping over! HOORAY!"
"Yay." Asuka was clearly not as excited as Jin.
"And we're sharing your bed! Me, you, Miguel, Christie, Eddy, Lightning and Xiaoyu!"
"WHAT?"
To be continued...
AN: I'm a big fan of Lightning and Asuka, and I also don't hate the other characters here. So don't misunderstand. I'm welcoming ideas. The best ones would be integrated into the story. Read and review!
