Chapter 1: Girl Meets Boy
At the Mishima estate down in the basement of the Grand Mishima Mansion, a young pointy haired teenager is in the middle of training. As he delivers mighty blows to the punching bag one of the butlers came down.
"Mr. Kazama, sir."
The young man is Jin Kazama; he has long black hair that stood up to a point. Tall and well fit with signs of harsh and rigorous martial arts training. He wore only a pair of red gloves and black pants with a red flame on one leg. No shirt but on his right bicep shows a tattoo, more of a marking that is part of his dark secret. He gave a vicious right roundhouse kick to the bag ignoring the butler.
"Keiske-kun…you've known me for all these years. Drop the formalities." He continued punching the bag.
"Hai. It's almost time for school. You are the heir to Mishima Zaibatsu and the Master says you have to go and not bring disgrace." With that Jin gave a powerful right roundhouse punch that sent the bag flying.
"Mind you, I have no affiliations with that man." He said pointing at Keiske.
"I know. But he is your grandfather after all."
"We both may be of the same blood but that man doesn't deserve any respect, especially mine. Not after all the crap he put me and mother through. He fucking killed my father! His own son! Not that I care for him either." Jin fixes himself and puts on his school uniform.
"I know. C'mon Jin-chan you'll be late for class, the car is already waiting for you outside." Jin grabbed his bag and smirked.
"You better get going before I kick your ass! I'll have the staff fix and replace the bag."
"Ja." Says Jin and waves as he leaves to the main courtyard.
Inside Mishima High School Courtyard two girls are making their way inside the school, one of them originated from China, fairly short, has long black hair that she always keeps in pigtails. A slender but athletic body, her name is Ling Xaioyu. The other is just about the same size but a bit more defined of the body, she has short brown hair that is straight but curves out at the end. Her name is Miharu, Xaioyu's best friend.
"Well here we are again. What's wrong Xaio? Daijobu?"
"Eh? Gomen. It's just that summer is already over." Xaioyu stretched her arms out stretching and sighing.
"I knooooow…"
"So how was your date?" Says Xaioyu looking at her best friend excitedly expecting to hear a romantic date.
"Deeto? You mean with baka Shino? It was terrible! He's stuck up! All he did was talk about himself trying to impress me." Miharu folded her arms and was really upset.
"Hontoni?" Xaioyu asked plainly.
"He yelled at the waitress for not putting ice in his water telling her she didn't know how to do her job. Not only that! But a ball came across us and a small boy came and asked to give it to him but Shino told him to get it himself even though the ball was right there! He's a JERK! Isn't there any decent guys here?" Miharu folded her arms again and sighed angrily.
"Tell me bout it?" The both of them sighed out of disappointment. The school bell rang and Xaioyu jogged ahead.
"C'mon Mi-chan we're gonna be late for class!" Both of them ran together making their way to the main entrance.
Jin was walking down the hallway making his way to his classroom.
"Shimatta…I'm late for class again." He continued walking when he heard two people running behind him. Apparently he wasn't the only one late, it was Xaioyu and Miharu.
"C'mon Mi-chan we're late!" Xaioyu ran further up
"Xaio!" Miharu yelled, Xaioyu wasn't paying attention to where she was running for the floor was wet. Right when she was about to pass Jin she slipped on the wet surface and was about to fall face first into the floor. Just then Jin came up and grabbed her waist and her hand just in time and they both fell to the floor, Jin fell on his butt and back against the wall and Xaioyu fell into his lap grabbing onto him to prevent her to fall.
"Daijobu?" Asked Jin looking down to the startled pig tailed schoolgirl. She nodded.
"Good. Ummm…excuse me miss." Xaioyu looked up puzzled.
"Hai?"
"You're still kinda holding onto me." He said with his right hand scratching the back of his head. Xaioyu looked and she saw she was still holding his left hand and her other hand clinging onto his shirt. She immediately got up and her face turned bright red and bowed.
"Sumimasen! Gomendasai!" At this Miharu finally caught up to her.
"Xaio! Daijobu?"
"She's fine. She just slipped, I just managed to grab her before we fell." Jin explained coolly as he got up and fixed himself. Miharu saw that and looked back at Xaioyu who was still blushing.
"Honto-deska…? I see…" Miharu smiled at Xaioyu.
"Well Jin-chan thanks but we're late for class talk to you later. Ja ne." Miharu then nudged Xaioyu with her elbow.
"Hai! Arigato Jin-chan. Ja." Xaioyu was still blushing, Jin nodded and the both of them left. Jin couldn't help but give a slight smirk.
It's now lunchtime at Mishima High, Xaioyu went to the table where her and Miharu usually go to but when she got there, the table was filled with other girls. Some were her other friends but some she didn't even know went to the school. Miharu was talking and all of them were leaning in listening to every word she was saying. When she got to the table attention went to her suddenly.
"Hey Xaio-chan!" Says Miharu as she moved her bag so Xaioyu can sit next to her.
"What's going on?" Says Xaioyu puzzled wanting answers.
"Xaio! I heard about your lil run in with Jin this morning." Says Yumi, a friend of Xaioyu's with a slight mischievous expression on her face.
"Yeah we were running to class when I slipped and Jin saved me from falling. That's all, nothing special." She lied leaving out what happened when Jin saved her.
"That's it!" Says another girl a bit disappointed
"That's not what we heard." Says Rika, another friend of Xaioyu.
"Yeah Xaio. The two of you fell to the floor with you falling into his arms and in his lap. It was so romantic." Explained Miharu in a romantic sentimental tone of voice and hugged herself imitating Jin and Xaioyu.
"Honto-deska!" All the girls now looking at Xaioyu waiting for an answer.
"Hai…" Answered Xaioyu in a timid voice now blushing and fiddling with her thumbs. All the girls then gasped after hearing her answer. At that moment Jin comes up looking for Xaioyu.
"Sumimasen…Xaioyu?" Right when Jin spoke all the girls suddenly went silent as they watch anxiously.
"Hai!" Xaioyu tried to act normal not to embarrass herself again.
"I'm sorry bout this morning."
"No! I'm the one that should be apologizing to you since I'm the one who made you fall. You saved me from falling so I should be thanking you." Xaioyu quickly explained shaking her hand to clear up the mistake and slightly blushing.
"Considering we were both late to class this morning, I didn't have the chance to properly introduce myself. Konichiwa. Boku wa Kazama, Jin desu." He said this while bowing.
"Watashi wa Ling Xaioyu desu. But just call me Xaioyu or Xaio for short if you like."
"Pleased to meet you Xaioyu-chan. If you will excuse me I will be off. Ja." He than walked away and waved.
"Ja…" She waved back standing up and sat back down.
"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" All the girls gasped at Xaioyu.
"You mean seiteki Kazama Jin." All the girls than started giggling
"Gomottomo ayakarimono Xaioyu!" Says Miharu with admiration and started to giggle. Xaioyu couldn't stop blushing and started to laugh herself.
