Forgotten Love: Hello! Here I am with my Yuri fic! Inspired by the three amazing writers listed above! This is going to be a Jade/Xu Lin fic. Kind of a songfic also!! - I will have many songs by Evanescence, because that is one of the best bands ever!!! I don't remember where the Lotus Temple was, but that doesn't matter, because I don't really reference it much! - If you don't know what Yuri is, it is girl/girl. - Ok... here we go!!!!!
/I tried to kill the pain, But only brought more! So much more. I lay dying, And I'm poring, crimson regret, And betrayal./
Jade was sitting in her bed, in her room. She is now sixteen, and has still not forgotten the incident at the Lotus Temple with Xu Lin. She had since then become absorbed in pain, and would now be considered "goth". She was wearing a black tank, with frayed cuts in it, being held by safety pins. She had on thick, black eyeliner, with the same color eye shadow. She had black lipstick, and her hair was the same color black, with many dark purple highlites. It was cut to her shoulders, and she was wearing black pants, that looked similar to her tank.
She was doing her homework with a quill pen, and heard her uncle call her.
"Jade! Lunch time! Mung bean sandwiches! Hurry! Ai Yah! Watch tea Torhu!"
Jade rolled her eyes, and slammed down her quill. She hated school, she loathed it with a passion. Her favorite class was Japanese. She got fairly good, but was still just a beginner.
"Konnichiwa Uncle-chan!" Jade said laughing down the stairs.
"Sensei is not a female Jade!" Torhu said, dropping the kettle of hot water, spilling it on Uncle's crotch.
"AI YAH!!!! UNCLE NOT NEED THIS AT MORNING!!!!"
Torhu bowed, and said, "Gomen nasai Sensei."
"Ai Yah! You better be sorry!!!" Jade rolled her eyes and went to the fridge. She pulled out some leftover miso soup, and popped it into the microwave.
"Hold it young lady!" Jackie said, walking into the room. "Uncle made the trouble of making Mung bean sandwiches, and you are going to eat that!"
"Mung bean? I'll pass. Besides, I am going out with my friends tonight."
"Oh no!!! There is great evil!! EVIL!!!!!" Uncle said insanely. Ever since the incidents with the Oni masks, talimans, and demons... around then is where Jade met Xu Lin. She still remembers her in her sleep.
"Evil, what. The mung bean farmers made a strike?" Jade said harshly.
"AI YAH! TOHRU! PREPARE CHI SPELL!!" Tohru sighed, and went to the library. Still Uncle wished Torhu called him "sensei".
The microwave beeped, saying the miso soup was ready.
/I'm dying, Praying, Bleeding, I'm screaming. Am I too lost to be saved Am I too lost?/
"Mmm." Jade said, thinking to herself this was much better than mung bean sandwiches.
"Oh! Jade! I almost forgot! You got a letter from Xu Lin!" Jade's heart missed a beat, she dropped her spoon. She felt like she couldn't breathe! Ever since what had happened... she stopped having feelings for men.
She managed to stutter, "C-C-C-Can I read it?"
Jackie nodded, and gave the note to Jade.
The note said:
Dear Jade,
Hello! It's me! Xu Lin! I am coming over to San Francisco for my school's break! Maybe we can see each other! I still can't thank you enough for saving me from that temple! I hope we can get together again, and be best friends!
With love,
Xu Lin
Love. Hmph. Jade thought that she knew what love was, but everything changed that night...
/My God! My Tourniquet, Return to me salvation. My God! My Tourniquet, Return to me salvation./
'If only' thought Jade. 'If only she knew my feelings for her... maybe... just maybe...'
Jade finished her Literature homework, and went to the teen club, "Oxi" (A/N- I don't know if this is a real club or not!!! -), and saw two of her friends there.
"Amy! Spike! Jon! Leesa!" Jade yelled to her friends, waving her arms.
All of them were goth, especially Amy. Leesa and Jon were dating, and Amy and Jade were best friends. Spike was an old friend of Jon's.
"Wanna drink?? They have virgin martinis!" Amy said.
"Yeah! Come on guys!" Leesa said, grabbing onto Jon's arm and pulling him to the bar.
Each of them got a virgin drink, and the DJ started to freestyle. All of them got off the barstools, and started to dance.
/Do you remember me Lost for so long. Will you be on the other side Or will you forget me/
Spike gave Jade many weird glances, almost like he was a stalker. Jade to Amy aside.
"What is with that ass?" Jade said, looking at Amy.
"I don't know. Mom hits him too hard probably." Amy replied. Both laughed.
"So... how does Jon know him?"
"No clue. Spike seems like one of those loners. Probably met at a teen club. I doubt Jon really knows him. Spike gives me the creeps. I'd watch yourself with him!"
"Yeah, I'll try!" Jade replied.
A few hours later, everyone left. Jade walked into "Uncle's Rare Finds", and saw Uncle and Torhu fast asleep.
"What's with Burt and Ernie?" Jade asked.
"Oh, they are just tired." Jackie said. "Oh! Aren't you going to reply to Xu Lin?!?!
"Right!" Jade ran up the stairs, and pulled out a quill and parchment.
/I'm dying, Praying, Bleeding, Screaming
Am I too lost to be saved, Am I too lost?
My God! My Tourniquet, Return to me salvation. My God! My Tourniquet, Return to me salvation.
Return to me salvation I want to die!/
"Xu Lin. Where are you now?" Jade said as she was scribbling the letter. She hoped soon that she would come. Jade started to have feelings for her, many feelings. She knew that she loved Xu, but did Xu love her back? Would Jade have to be alone her life?
By the time Jade finished her letter, it was time to go to bed. It didn't help with Jackie annoying her to do so.
The letter said:
Dear Xu Lin,
Hey! It was great getting your letter! How are you? When are you coming over?? Yeah! That all sounded great! So, well, I hope that you have a great trip here...
Love,
Jade
/My God! My Tourniquet, Return to me salvation. My God! My Tourniquet, Return to me salvation./
As Jade was getting ready for bed, she looked into the mirror. The scars were still on her body. As she stood naked in front of the mirror, she started to cry. She turned her head away, and got in her pajamas. The bottoms said, 'I have issues' all over them, and the top said, 'Do I look like I want to talk to you??' on it in big writing.
She pulled down the sheets, and lied down. Instantly she had a dream...
/My wounds cry for the grave. My soul cries, for deliverance. Will I be, denied Christ! Tourniquet! My Suicide./
Dream
It was on the beaches of Hawaii, and the sun was about to set. Alone on the beach were Jade and Xu Lin. Jade was wearing what she wore this morning, and Xu Lin wore a floral bikini with a sarong on. The were a few feet away.
Jade started to open her mouth, and Xu Lin put her finger over her lips, and combed her hair with her other hand.
"Don't speak Jade." Xu Lin said.
She took her hands off of Jade, and kissed her on the lips. At first, Jade didn't react to it, but eventually kissed back. When they released, Xu smiled.
"That was nice." Xu said. Jade nodded in agreement.
Jade caressed Xu's face, then slowly went down Xu's neck. Xu lifted her chin, slightly opened her mouth, and closed her eyes. She grabbed Jade's hand, and placed it in between her bosom. Jade took her other hand, and combed Xu's hair around her ear, and they shared a passionate kiss...
End of Chapter One.
