Jin's POV
Ling had asked me to wait for after school, so I was going to suprise her with bringing Panda. When school released, Ling walked over to us. "Panda! Jin thank you!" she said hugging Panda then me. I hugged her back. "So why did you want me to meet you?" I asked releasing her. "I need to ask you something." "What is it?" I asked her. "Is it true that your grandpa is hosting another King of Iron Fist Tournament?" she asked nervously, knowing that I didn't like talking about my Mishima family. I sighed. "That's what the rumor is." "I'm sorry, but I had to ask." "Its alright. Do you wanna go to the tree?" I asked her. The tree was a deserted place by a creek near her house. We found it together when I was seven and she was four. We had always been close because we were neighbors. Her eyes lit up. "I'd love to. Wanna come too, Panda?" Panda grunted and nodded her head. I smile, they always had so much fun together. I wish that someday, Ling will have that much fun with me. But I can't let her because of my devil. I sighed. I had a crush on Ling. Well actually I'd had if for a long time. Since I was fifteen, but I was afraid that if we were ever to get in a fight, my devil would hurt her. In fact it was a great deal more than a crush, it was love. I was in love Ling.

Ling's POV
Jin took my hand and we walked in silence to the tree. I had always loved spending time with Jin, because he was so nice. Before, I used to think of Jin like the older brother I never had, now I think of him as the boyfriend I'll never have. When we got to the tree we sat down. "So, can I come with you to your mother's grave tomorrow?" I asked. Jun, Jin's mother, had died many years ago. Tomorrow would be her death anniversary.(sp) I know that if I didn't go, Jin would end up going by himself since his father, Kazuya, would never go. "Yes, I would like that very much." He said quietly. He looked sad. "Jin, what's wrong?" I asked him, alarmed. "Ling, I need to show you how I feel." He said. He leaned and kissed my so sweet. I was suprised at first, but I kissed him back.

Jin's POV
I was so happy that Ling didn't push me away. After two minutes we broke the kiss to breathe. She smiled shyly. "I'm so sorry, but Ling, I've been in love with you for so long. And I couldn't take it anymore." I told her. "That's ok, Jin. I love you too." She smiled at me.
