A/N: Yo Yo peoples! I thought that I should scrap this story and just try this whole thing again. The last time I tried this I felt that I rushed it too much so I decided to scrap it while it was still early compared to wanting to scrap it wen I've actually gotten a fair way into it…hope that this new redone version will be better! Oh, and for you Xiaoyinners out there? Sorry, but this fic isn't going to be Xiaoyin. Its just a friendship fic so there isn't going to be any romance in it…well, not enough to spark a potential relationship between the two :P
I don't own Tekken and I never will! It'll always be under the protection of Namco so no-one else will screw it up.
Okay, to the first chapter.
Chapter 1: First impressions
"Wow…" The 16-year-old Ling Xiaoyu mused with wide eyes, staring out into the city of Tokyo. She was leaning against the railing of the Mishima Zaibatsu cruiser. It was just the two nights before when she snuck onboard and went crazy when Heihachi's bodyguards discovered her. It was amazing that he was actually taking her to stay with him for the tournament at all! Xiaoyu was fully aware of the risks involved with entering a fighting tournament of this magnitude. But she had every bit of confidence in herself that she would do well and be able to create the best amusement park the world has ever known!
Xiaoyu closed her eyes and let the breeze glide past her, her short pigtails swaying ever so slightly.
'Welcome to Tokyo, Xiaoyu." Heihachi approached her, causing Xiaoyu to spin around to meet him.
"I can't thank you enough for letting me stay with you for this tournament." Xiaoyu formally bowed in respect.
"A girl of your age shouldn't be able to participate in a tournament like this…but your skills have proven to me that you can withstand something like this, which is a great achievement." Heihachi praised. Xiaoyu beamed and turned back to Tokyo, the enormous buildings looming closer and closer.
"This doesn't mean that your schooling will be put on hold. You will be attending my personal high school with my grandson." Heihachi continued, Xiaoyu looked over her shoulder and stared at Heihachi in disbelief.
"You have your own high school?! Is there anything you don't have?" Xiaoyu questioned. Heihachi chuckled and shook his head.
"We will be approaching land soon. Be ready." With that, Heihachi turned around and strolled downstairs to the ship's main cabin.
"Oh…my…god," Was all the words that escaped Xiaoyu's lips as the black stretch limousine drove its way to the mansion. There was a vast amount of land in the form of a large semicircle. At the top, there was an elaborate fountain with cherubs sprouting delicate streams of water. Lining the semicircle was a neat road, which was the path to the two storey mansion, which was a soft navy blue with massive pillars lining the entrance. When Xiaoyu stepped out of the car, it took the driver to wave a hand in front of her face to snap her out of her trance.
"Would you like me to carry your bags inside, Miss Ling?" The driver asked. Xiaoyu smiled, but shook her head.
"It's okay, I can take them up myself," It was then that she opened the boot to discover three suitcases filled with her possessions. She looked back at the driver and smiled sheepishly.
"Maybe I'll need a little help,"
When the final suitcase was dumped in her new room, she lay flat on her pink four poster bed. Heihachi really had the place prepared for her arrival. At the foot of her bed, there were numerous cushions and beanbags, which made it convenient to watch the wall mounted TV that was fixed opposite her four poster bed. There was a study table facing the wall to the right of Xiaoyu and a vanity table to her left. The carpeting was a bright yellow and the wall was a pale shade of pink. All she needed to do was add a few posters and a few accessories on her table and this room would definitely scream out 'Xiaoyu'. The best part of her room was the balcony, which lay to the right of her study table. Xiaoyu reluctantly got slid off her bed and strolled towards the balcony. After she unlocked the door and pulled it open, a soft breeze greeting her as she stepped outside. The view was breathtaking. Night had fallen, but Tokyo was still alive. Lots of bright lights were projected from the city area in a variety of colours. As Xiaoyu was looking around, a soft gasp escaped her lips as she noticed that someone was out on the balcony next to hers. Xiaoyu took a step closer and squinted in the moonlight to get a better look at him.
The figure was a young man, not much older than Xiaoyu, leaning against the railing and staring out into the distance with an unreadable expression. His most unusual feature was his hair, which was black and stuck out in a stiff spike behind him, with a few bangs falling in front of his face. He wore a loose white buttoned t-shirt (which wasn't buttoned up) and black trackpants with a blend of red, orange and yellow creeping up one of the legs in a form of a flame. He was quite tall and buff and his body was glistening with sweat, appearing to just have come from some sort of hardened training. He must be Mr. Mishima's grandson, Xiaoyu thought. Well, may as well talk to him since I'm going to be living with him. Xiaoyu casually strolled over to the railing that separated her balcony from his and leaned against it.
"Hey," Xiaoyu chirped, making the figure instantly snap his head towards her. His reply to her was a confused stare.
"Uh…I'm Xiaoyu. I've just got here from China with your grandfather. I'll be staying with you," Xiaoyu introduced. The figure turned back to stare off into the distance again.
"Hi," Came his one word reply in a very deep voice.
"Well…do you have any name of some sort?" Xiaoyu asked in a little bit of a harsher tone than she wanted.
"Jin," Came yet another one word reply. Well, very nice to meet you too, Jin, Xiaoyu thought sarcastically in her mind. Silence fell between the two. Xiaoyu left the dividing railing and placed her hands on the railing of her own balcony and stared into the sky. The large full moon sat shining brightly on the Eastern side of the sky with few stars dotting the otherwise pitch black sky.
"There's not many stars out here, are they?" Xiaoyu stated, trying to spark some conversation between the two. She got more of a reaction from him than she thought.
"There's never any stars out," Jin answered quickly. His voice wasn't completely monotone this time. There was a tinge of sadness in his voice.
"I guess you're used to seeing stars out a lot, huh?" Xiaoyu asked, eager to keep up the conversation. A brief nod was all the answer she got from him, eyes still glued to the distance. Gee, there goes that down the drain, Xiaoyu thought. Silence ensued once again.
"Well, I'm gonna go…nice to meet you Jin," With a hasty wave (which she was sure he didn't even receive), Xiaoyu instantly sprung back into her room and quickly closed the glass sliding door. Upon closing it, she leaned against it and slowly slid down until she was sitting on the ground.
"Well wasn't that the greatest first conversation ever," Xiaoyu said sarcastically. Xiaoyu got up from her place on the floor and flopped back on her pink four poster bed.
"Man, and I'm living with him too!" Xiaoyu said to herself as she stared at the ceiling. This is definitely going to be very interesting...
