It's my debut fic, so don't laugh at my amateur writing. Live and learn, people.
Disclaimer: I don't own Tekken. But I do own a pencil sharpener that stayed sharp for three years.
Chapter 1: Ceasefire
"Are you some sort of idiot?!" yelled Asuka, raising a fist in anger. She'd actually thought of doing the dirty finger at that stupid brat. Dammit, she'd already woken up late, put her socks on inside out, and forgotten her all-important lip balm. And here was Lili, smug at making her topple over her bike and spill out her lunch.
Soon, they were fighting - fists and feet and foul exclamations - and, to be honest, both of them liked it. Revenge was sweeter than sweet could get, and now that they both had the chance to exact vengeance on each other, it was the time of their lives. Neither of them cared anymore - being late for school, pausing for number two, missing a new episode of that teen angst show, the seasons of the year coming and going, the Martians beating the Mishima Zaibatsu and conquering the Earth, pausing for another number two, Miguel admitting to being gay - oh no, nothing mattered more than beating each other up to a pulp.
Suddenly, a huge panda bear which looked like it was kidnapping the girl sitting on it - wasn't that Xiaoyu? - rushed its way between the two of them (successfully separating the two, which would prove to be an impossible task otherwise), hurled Lili's limousine upward, and sped away as if it had hit nothing and nobody at all. It all happened so fast that the whole thing could probably be only some dream, but they were sprawling on the ground.
Now how could they explain that?
Lili and Asuka got up and glared at each other, putting all of their hate into the stare. Then Asuka began to chase Xiaoyu and the panda bear, shouting, "Wait!" even as Lili followed her and yelled, "Stop right there!" They pursued them for a while, hollering for them to stop. However, the mysterious panda bear seemed to be running at the speed of light, and Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue, saying, "Bai bai!" as she and the panda disappeared into the horizon, leaving the two girls panting.
"What the hell was that about?" said Lili, looking around for her limousine. Then she looked up to the sky. She felt stupid, but her limo got thrown upward, didn't it? "Where's my limo?!"
"Like I care," said Asuka through gritted teeth. How could that panda get away? And it looked quite familiar too...
"That panda's going to decorate the living room floor when I see it again," said Lili, still looking around for her vehicle. "Did my limo defy the laws of gravity and decided not to land?"
"Hmph," scoffed Asuka. Oh, she thinks she's some sort of Isaac Newton now, is she? Asuka thought. I hope the limo lands on her the same way the apple lands on Newton. But Asuka did not feel like fighting Lili again. It was Xiaoyu she wanted now. And once Asuka finds a target, she rarely takes her attention off it. She kicked a rock aside, frustrated. Then she looked up at Lili, who was staring back at her in such a strange way that Asuka had to say something before she laughed at her face. "What?"
"I have an idea." Lili crossed her arms over her chest. "You hate Xiaoyu now, right?"
Asuka scowled. "If you thought I'm through with you -"
Lili waved an arm impatiently, cutting her off. "Let me finish. This sounds crazy, I know, but-"
"You always sound crazy, thank you for reminding me."
"And you always sound like a retard," Lili snapped back. "Won't you let me finish?" Asuka just stared at her. Lili smirked. "Thank you very much. Here's a little proposition: we work together to hunt down Xiaoyu and avenge ourselves, then we're back to hating each other."
Asuka was immediately suspicious. "And what makes you think I'm going to work with you?"
Lili only smiled. "They say some things are better done as a team, right? Think about it."
Asuka did, and so she formulated a plan. She'll 'work' with Lili for a while, and as they take down Xiaoyu, she'll turn the tables against her and take her down as well. Such a plan was foolproof.
"What is it, then?" Lili said, offering a hand. "Temporary truce?"
Asuka looked at Lili's outstretched hand. She doesn't know what she's up against, Asuka thought. Both of you are going down, down, down! She took her hand and shook it. "You got it."
Little did Asuka know that Lili was planning the exact same thing against her.
Yes, I appreciate reviews as much as the next guy.
