Chapter 1 – Reminiscence of a Love Since Passed

Xiaoyu drew a worried sigh, sitting on the park bench that she and Jin used to pass on the way home from school. She searched high and low for him ever since the last King of Iron Fist Tournament. 'Why did you leave? Things were finally going well. And now this…' she wiped a tear from her eyes and tightly balled her fists 'If you didn't really love me then you shouldn't have-' her mind drifted to the day before the tournament.

"So, why did you enter the tournament? I already told I don't want you to." Jin took Xiaoyu's books as they left school.

"Because you entered it, I want to be there with you." Xiaoyu smiled.

"You do know that there have been many accidental fatalities. I know you're a good fighter but your style is mostly self-defense. You'll be up against men that are bigger than me, and they won't be going easy on you."

"I can handle myself just fine." She huffed.

"Come on, Xiao, I can hold you down with both arms pinned behind my back." He smirked.

"Grr." She punched him and childishly ran off.

"Xiaoyu!" he felt bad for making her angry. But he knew if he wasn't blunt with her, she wouldn't understand. He jogged after her.

He found her sitting on the park bench. She wiped tears from her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Xiao…"

"-I don't want you to go." She admitted as more tears spilled over.

He hated it when he made her cry; even though he knew it wasn't hard to do. Now he felt like a jerk "Don't cry, Xiao. I'm sorry."

"Then let me come too. You're my best friend here." She wrapped her arms around his broad chest.

He patted the top of her head "I know. I'm just worried that you'll get hurt. I love ya, Xiao."

Her heart fluttered "Really?"

"Of course I do. Why do you think I put up with you?" he kissed her forehead.

"Let's go." She jumped up pulling him with her.

They walked passed her grandfather's home "Where are we going?"

"You'll see!" Xiaoyu beamed.

She stopped in front of his apartment complex. Jin scratched his head "Okay, now I'm really perplexed. What are we doing here?"

"We'll treat today as if it were the last day we will see each other."

Jin's face turned a slight shade of pink as she dragged him inside.

She ran straight to the DVDs. She searched for about a minute before she pulled on off the shelf.

Jin sat on his couch "What'd you pick?"

"I didn't have much to choose from, just a whole bunch of scary movies..."

He looked over her shoulder; she put the disc in the tray.

Halfway through the movie, they were entangled in each other. Xiaoyu was half-asleep when Jin gently shook her "Wake up, Xiao."

"Mm?" she rolled over, nuzzling her face into his chest.

"The sun just went down. Your grandfather will be worried about you."

"I don't want to go. I want to stay." She whispered.

Jin smiled and picked her up. He carried her too his room and laid her down. She tightened her grip on him so he wouldn't let her go. "Don't leave me."

He laughed "What do you mean?"

"I have this horrible feeling that I'm going to lose you."

"Don't be stupid. I'm always going to be here with you."

"Promise?" she held up her pinky.

"Promise." He locked his pinky with hers.

She shyly gave him a peck on the lips. She liked it, so she gave him another one. He kissed her back, running his hands over her small frame. She straddled him, taking off her top.

Xiaoyu shook her head as the heartache welled up in her chest. 'That was the dumbest idea ever.'

She stood up, deciding to give up her search for the day.

"Hey, don't I know you from somewhere?" a strangely familiar voice said.

She looked up. She did recognize him, he was a contender in the tournament, and he saved her from being killed by Ogre "Hwoarang?"

"Yeah. You're Kazama's girlfriend, Ling, right? I'm lookin' for him."

Xiaoyu swallowed hard "That make two of us."

He grimaced "When was the last time you saw him?"

"The day of the tournament." Her voice was small.

He could tell she didn't want to talk about it, he quickly changed the subject "You look better now, by the way."

"Oh, I'm sorry, Hwoarang. I forgot to thank you for saving me."

"Leaving people to die isn't really my thing."

Xiaoyu interrupted him "You want to find Jin, don't you?"

"Yeah, but not for the same reason as you." He shrugged.

"I can't keep looking alone."

"And?" he cocked an eyebrow.

"I need help. You want to find him too so let's look together."

"I'll think about it. You go to school at Mishima High, right?"

She raised her eyebrow "Yeah. Why?"

"If I decide to help you, I'll meet you at your school after you're out."

Xiaoyu entered her grandfather's house. When she was a child, she spent summers here. But she came to live with him a little over a year ago. Her parent's business in China was going international, which meant they would be traveling all the time.

"Is that you, Xiao-Ziao?" Wang into the common room.

"Hey, Grandpa." She sighed.

"I made your favorite for dinner. Dumplings!" he grinned.

"I'm not hungry."

The day after the tournament, he found out she was in the hospital and in critical condition. When she first came home, he tried to ground her for disappearing for two days. He gave up only after half a day. He knew how much that boy meant to her, so he didn't bother trying to punish her further. It didn't look like it fazed her anyway, someone could tell her the world was ending tomorrow and she wouldn't have cared.

She slowly climbed the stairs "G'night, grandpa."

So that's the first chapter alright. I hope I got all their personalities accurately. Okay, I'll probably mention this in the later chapters but just in case I don't, I'll go over it real quick:

What happens in the story is a little different from the actual game, but I'm trying to follow it as closely as I'm able. Anyway, Xiaoyu ends up cutting straight to Ogre and gets her but kicked, Hwoarang saved her by killing the beast. But gets brutalized by True Ogre, though none of the two knows it, Jin saves both of them from dying. And then he disappears and all.
