I have decided to put in different characters from different games into the story, I'll try to put in one each chapter. In this chapter Hitomi from the Dead or Alive series will join the story.
Jack boxer
Mark wrestler
"Leave Ayame alone." Li says
"Who the hell are you?" Ikari asks, while Mark gets up on his feet, holding one hand where Li has kicked him.
"It doesn't matter. If you walk away now this will be less painful."
"Let's go Ayame." Li says as he helps her up, ignoring Ikari completely.
"Hey, listen to me." Ikari says angrily.
Li turns around, Ayame stands behind him.
"If you want, you could join our little game." Ikari says with a smile.
Ikari's two friends smile as well. Li turns his hand into a fist.
"You should be ashamed with yourself. Doing such horrible things…"
"You must be one of those "honourable guys" as well. Let me tell you, you are wasting your time. You should have left when you had the chance." Ikari says with a smile.
Suddenly Jack attacks Li with a straight punch towards the face. Li however avoids it and grabs Jack's wrist, then with his other hand he hits Jack in the stomach with an open palm strike. Jack falls backwards.
"Chinese martial art?" Ikari says.
Mark then runs straight to Li, he is going to bulrush him. Li, aware of his movement. When Mark gets close Li hits him right in the face with his left knee, then he quickly hits him in the stomach with a sidekick, then a front kick with the other leg and then with a spinning side kick with his other leg, hitting him in the stomach three times. Mark falls backwards, holding his hands on his stomach. He tries to get up, but it's too painful.
"I admit, you got some skills. But it won't help you against me." Ikari says as he gets into his fighting position.
Li attacks, he does a high jump spinning kick, aiming for Ikari's head. But he easily avoids it.
"To easy." Ikari says confident.
But as Li lands he does a spinning low kick that hits Ikari's legs, sweeping him.
"I should have known." Ikari says with a smile, still on the ground.
Ikari then jumps up from the ground.
"Time to get serious." Ikari says as he attacks Li.
Ayame still stands on the same spot, watching the fight in front of her. Ikari does five punches towards Li's head, however Li avoids them all. Ikari does a kick from the side, also aiming for Li's head. But Li blocks it. Ikari is about to do yet another punch but Li slaps him. Ikari gets an angrier look at his face, he attacks Li once again, but with a side kick. Li avoids it. Ikari throws a punch towards Li's head, but he avoids it and steps closer to Ikari. Li puts his open palm on Ikari's chest and pushes him backwards.
Ikari jumps up to his feet again. He is mad. He attacks Li with a front kick and then with a spinning side kick. But Li avoids them both. Ikari does a punch towards Li's chest, Li blocks it with a circle movement with his left hand and at the same time he hits Ikari in the chest with his right hand. Ikari takes few steps backwards. Ikari runs towards Li. Li jumps high in the air and does a spinning jump sidekick. He hits Ikari in the stomach and he falls backwards.
Li takes a look at the three lying on the ground.
"You should all learn the value of respect." Li says as he points at them.
They all stare at him, still lying on the ground. Li turns around and walks to Ayame.
"Are you okay?" Li asks with a smile.
She looks into his eyes, then she suddenly begins to cry. She hugs him.
"You saved me…Thank you." Ayame says, crying on his chest.
"No need to thank me, I'm sure anyone would help." Li says with a smile.
She looks up at his eyes. Ikari, Mark and Jack all look at the scene. They all have feelings of guilt.
"Let's go." Li says as he picks up her bag pack and walks away.
Ayame follows him, she walks behind him, blushing. Shortly they get back to their dorm.
"Hello?" Li asks as he opens the door.
No answer.
"Looks like they are out." Li says as he walks inside.
Ayame is quiet, she is blushing and looks down at the floor. She walks to her room. She opens her door, walking in slowly. She slowly closes the door behind her. She takes a seat on her bead, grabbing a teddy bear. She puts her head on the pillow, holding the bear tightly.
"Asuka, are you in there?" Li asks as he knocks at her door.
No answer.
"I'm coming in." He says as he slowly opens the door.
No one's there. Li closes the door. He knocks at Mina's room. No one answers. He doesn't open it. He walks past Shizuru's room, he stoops when he hears something falling inside. He opens the door.
"Shizuru, are you…"
He is cut of as a knife flies in the air, passing by his face and hitting the wall.
"Wenjie." Shizuru says, standing in a corner.
"Shizuru, nice to meet you." Li says as he bows.
She just looks at him.
"Do you know where Asuka and Mina are?"
"Out." She says as she walks towards another corner of her room.
"I see, do you know when they come back?"
"No." Shizuru says as she ties something in the corner.
"Well… see ya." Li says as he leaves the room.
Shizuru doesn't say anything. Li walks into the kitchen, He starts to cook. As time passes by he gets down with his cooking. Then Asuka and Mina open the front door.
"We're back." Asuka says.
"You cam just in time, I have made dinner." Li says from the kitchen.
"You're kidding right?" Mina says as she walks inside the kitchen.
At the kitchen table is five plates and chopsticks.
"What is…?" Asuka says as she steps next to Mina.
"I hope you don't mind." Li says as he puts a towel on a table.
"No…" Mina says as she walks inside the kitchen and takes a seat.
"I'll go and tell Ayame and Shizuru." Asuka says.
And after a short while, all of them are at the table. Even Shizuru whom rarely sits at the table with the others. They are eating noodles with chicken and vegetables. Li is the only one whom has begun eating.
"Please try it, and tell me what you think."
Asuka eats some noodles and a piece of a chicken.
"It's good." Asuka says with a smile.
Li smiles back at her.
"Thank you." He says as he does a slight bow.
"It's really good." Mina says as she almost as her mouth full.
"Thank you." Li says as he bows to her as well.
"What do you think Ayame?"
Li looks at Ayame, she takes some noodles into her mouth.
"Delicious." Ayame says with a smile.
"Thank you." Li says with a smile and as he bows yet again.
"What do you think Shizuru?" Li asks as he turns his head to face Shizuru.
But she is gone, the plate is empty and there's a note next to it. Li takes the note, he reads it.
"Tasty…" Li reads it with a smile.
After a short while of talking at the table, Li takes all the plates and starts to do the dishes.
"We can help you Li." Asuka says with a smile.
"Yea, let us help with the dishes." Mina says.
"There's no need, I'll do it." Li says with a smile.
A short while later, the girls (except for Shizuru) sits in a sofa and watches TV. Li however takes a small bag and opens the front door.
"I'll go and train, bye."
"Bye… Wait Li I'll…" Asuka says but Li has already closed the door.
On the way to the gym Li takes a look at the nature. He sees a squirrel running up on a tree. It makes him smile. In a few moments Li arrives at the gym. He switches into his white kung fu cloths, and as expected he is the only one there. He takes a look at the clock, it says half past six. Li starts to warm up, simple running around. After his warm up he starts to stretch, and after that he does some kicking. However he stops when he hears that the door opens and people walks inside. It's Ikari, Mark and Jack.
"So here you are." Ikari says.
"What do you want?" Li asks.
"We have something to say to you." Ikari says with a smile.
"Yea…" Mark says as he walks closer.
"We do…" Jack says as he walks closer.
Li gets into a defensive stance. Jack and Mark are close to him now.
"Tell him boys." Ikari says with a "evil" smile.
"We are sorry." Mark says.
"Yea…Wait what?" Ikari asks.
"You were right, what we did was wrong." Jack says.
"Disrespectful and dishonourable." Mark says.
"And for that, we are sorry." Jack says.
"Thank you." Li says as he puts his right fist into his left palm.
"But I am not the one you should apologise to, but I thank you."
Then both Jack and Mark puts their right hand into their left palm and makes a slight bow to Li, Li does the same to them.
"What are you doing? Weren't we supposed to gang up on him?" Ikari asks angrily.
"Forget it dude." Jack says as he walks past Ikari.
"Handle him yourself." Mark says as he walks past Ikari.
"Where do you think you're going?" Ikari asks his "friends".
Jack and Mark close the door behind them. Ikari turns around, looking at Li. Li has his hands behind his back.
"I have a backup plan for a situation like this." Ikari says and then snaps with his fingers.
Then 10 guys walks inside, they walk next to Ikari.
"Now you got nowhere to run." Ikari says with a smile.
"I don't want any trouble."
"Then you shouldn't have gotten involved."
The ten guys start to walk towards Li. Li however doesn't move. One of the guys attacks Li with a tornado kick, Li avoids it by walking backwards. The guy starts to do a series of kicks that Li blocks. Li sees an opening and punches towards his chest, but he stops one inch from hitting him. As the guy is about to attack again (with his feet) Li hits him with the one inch punch. Another guy attacks Li with a spinning jump kick but Li avoids it with a back flip. Then another guy attacks Li with a series of punches, Li blocks them all. Then Li attacks the guy with a back fist towards the side of the guy's head. The guy knows he'll get hit so he closes his eyes. Li notice this and stops one inch from hitting him. The guy opens his eyes and sees Li's hand. The guy removes Li's hand and punches him in the chest. Li takes three steps backwards, only to by hit by another guy whom hits him with a jump kick in the chest. Li falls backwards.
"What's the matter? To hard for you?" Ikari asks with his arms crossed.
Li slowly rises. Looking at his attackers. They all wear different kinds of cloths. They have different styles. Most notably karate, taekwondo and kung fu.
"You think you have a chance? You are a weird guy."
Li makes his right hand into a fist, he then smiles towards Ikari. Then a guy attacks from the left with a jump kick towards Li. Li does a jump spinning sidekick and hits the guy in the chest. When Li lands two guys attack him with one punch itch. Li blocks both of them (upwards) and hits them both with an open palm strike in the chest. As the guys falls backwards Li sweeps a guy attacking him from the left. As the guy falls Li does a spinning jump kick and kicks one guy in the head that attacked him from behind. As the guy falls to the ground, the reaming standing guys takes a step back.
"Damn it." Ikari says as he makes his hand into a fist.
One guy attacks Li from the right and one from the left. Li hits the guy from the right with an elbow to his chest and then does a side kick at the guy attacking from the left, hitting him in the chest. Then Li does a side kick (with the other leg) at the guy he just elbowed, hitting him in the stomach. Both guys fall backwards. Then one guy attacks Li from the front with a punch towards his head. Li blocks it and hits the guy on the side of the head with a back fist. The guy falls to the side. Now only one guy and Ikari are standing up.
"Pretty good, let's see how you do against me." The guy says.
The guy is wearing black jeans, black shoes, a dark blue shirt and a brown jacket. He has blue eyes and shaved blond hair. The guy is called Luupo.
Luupo makes a high kick towards Li's face, Li avoids it. Luupo then does a low kick that Li avoids. Luupo then does a spinning side kick towards Li's face that he also avoids.
"Come on, hit me." Luupo says as he attacks again.
Luupo attacks Li with a series of punches however Li avoids them all.
"Hit me." Luupo says, trying to tease Li…
And Li hits him, right in the face. Luupo falls down on his back, knocked out. Li starts to walk towards Ikari, with not a smile on his face.
"Take it easy Li, we are friends right?" Ikari says with a scared and fake smile.
Li notice that Ikari is about to punch him, but Li is faster. Li does a series of punches, about twenty punches. But Li stops every punch one inch from hitting Ikari. As Li stops the last punch, Ikari slowly falls down to his knees, scared. Li doesn't say anything, he just walks and takes his bag and then he walks towards the exit of the room. But before he opens the door he turns around, puts his right fist into his left palm and bows to his opponents. Then he leaves.
"Hey, there's a movie starting." Mina says as she throws away a coca cola can.
Mina and Ayame are sitting in the sofa. Mina throws the can on the ground. Asuka is in the shower. Then the front door opens. Ayame and Mina take a look at who it is… Li of course.
"Hey Li, there's a movie starting." Mina says with a smile.
"You want to see it with us?" Ayame says with a smile as well, slightly blushing.
"No thanks. I'll go to sleep now." Li says with a smile towards the two girls, and then he walks into his room.
"He really trains hard." Mina says as she looks at the TV.
"Yea…" Ayame says, slightly disappointed.
"Li?" Asuka asks, coming from the bathroom wearing pink pyjamas.
"He went into his room, he us going to bed." Mina says, looking at the TV.
Li sits on his bed. Taking of his socks, then the door to his room opens.
"Asuka." Li says with a smile.
"Hey Li." She says as she closes the door.
As she turns around (after closing the door) she sees Li is only wearing pants, nothing else. She lightly blushes as she takes a seat next to Li on his bed. She notices that his body wasn't so big as many other guys at the school, but Li was muscular yet not big. But he was by far not the strongest in the school but his body is well trained.
"Is there something you need?"
"No not really, I just we could talk a little."
"Talk? About what?" Li asks as he looks at her.
"Well… Last time we meet was about two years ago. So…"
"I see, well I have trained... What have you done?"
"Well I have… trained…"
"I guess that after you left, I didn't do so much, it wasn't the same without you." Li says as he looks at her.
"I guess it was the same for me." Asuka says as she looks away, hiding that she is slightly blushing.
"Well… if you don't mind, I'm really tiered and I would like to…"
"I get it." Asuka says and then gets up from the bed and walks to the door.
"Good night."
"Good night." Asuka says as she closes the door.
Asuka walks to the sofa and the TV.
"What did you talk about?" Mina asks as Asuka comes closer.
"Nothing."
"Really?" Mina asks, teasing Asuka.
"Nothing." She says irritated.
Night passes by, and it's a new day. Mina and Ayame takes on their shoes, puts on their backpacks and they leave to school. Li however slept longer than usual and is eating breakfast. He is eating leftovers from yesterday. A short while later he leaves for school. Today he is wearing black shoes, black pants, black fingerless gloves, a white sleeveless shirt, a violet jacket and a long white scarf. He puts on his backpack and opens the front door. He closes the door and starts to walk to school.
"YOU'RE AWESOME DUDE!" John says/screams as he jumps out from a bush.
Li gets scared at John's sudden move, so scared that in a matter of self defence Li hits John in stomach with a side kick as John jumps out from the bush. John lands on his back, back inside the bush.
"I'm sorry John." Li says as he helps John up.
"Its okay man, you're awesome." John says as he points at him.
"What are you talking about now?"
"You know, that you beat up the "Black Dragons"."
"Black Dragons?"
"They are a gang whom "Owns" the school. They clam to have the best martial artist on their side, both in and outside of school." John explains to Li as they walk to school.
"I see." Li says as he looks up in the sky.
"And you kicked their ass man. You rule." John says as he hits Li in the back and as they enter the school ground.
"Don't be ridiculous, I just…"
Li and John stops at the school gate, every other student stares at them.
"Dude, why are they staring at us?" John whispers to his friend.
"I don't know." Li whispers back.
They slowly start to walk towards the school.
"It's him." A female voice says.
"I heard that he beat up the Black Dragons." A male voice says.
"He's so cool." Another female voice says.
"Dude, they are talking about you. You are like a celebrity dude." John says to his friend.
"Yes it seems, but I am not sure I like it."
"Hey you." A male voice says.
A man steps out from the crowd. He has black shaved hair, and brown eyes. He wears beige pants, black shoes, a beige shirt and a dark green jacket.
"I am tiger style master Shin Fu. I have heard that you have beaten the Black Dragons. I want to test my skills against you."
"No I don't want to fight."
"Please." Shin says as he puts his right hand into his left palm and bows.
"Please fight me, in a battle of honor."
"…An honourable fight then." Li says as he gives his backpack to John.
"Thank you."
The crowd takes a few steps back so that Li and Shin can fight with a lot of space.
"Time to see if this guy got some skills." A guy says.
"He doesn't look so tough to me." Another guy says.
"I do have a request." Shin says.
"Yes?"
"I have studied your style of Wushu, and I know that you train animal styles as well. I would be honoured if you would fight me with only the animal style of Kung Fu Wushu."
"As you wish." Li says with a smile.
Li and Shin bows to each other. Then Shin gets into a tiger stance and Li gets into an eagle stance.
"It's like watching a random kung fu movie…" John says to himself.
Shin attacks Li with a tiger claw, Li blocks with his left hand and hits Shin on the side of the head with an eagle claw with his right hand. Shin takes a step backwards, he shakes his head and attacks again. Li blocks Shin's second tiger claw strike and avoids his third strike, then Li hits Shin in the stomach with an eagle claw and then with a leopard claw in Shin's chest. Shin takes a step backwards but attacks the same second with a low kick that Li avoids. Shin then attacks once again with a tiger claw but Li blocks it and hits Shin on the top of his head with a mantis strike. Shin attacks Li again but Li avoids it and hits Shin in the stomach with a double (both hands) tiger claw. Shin takes two steps back. Shin takes his right hand on his chest and looks at Li. Li gets into a dragon stance. The crowd doesn't say a word. Shin attacks again but before he could do his attack Li hits him in the stomach with a dragon palm. Shin falls backwards and lands son his back.
"Such speed…." A guy says.
"He really is skilled." A girl says.
"I have lost…" Shin says as he slowly gets up.
"…But thank you." Shin says as he puts his right hand into his left palm.
"You are welcome." Li says as he does the same and with a smile.
Shin walks away and another guy "steps inside the ring".
"Now I challenge you." The guy says as he points at Li.
"No I don't…"
But the guy attacks Li, he runs towards him and then he jumps high in the air, doing a muay thai knee strike in the air. Li does a high axe kick and kicks the guy's knee with such force that the guy falls forwards.
"I'm sorry." Li says as he lends a hand to help him up.
"He is so skilled." A girl says with a smile.
"He is so kind." Another girl says.
"He is so handsome." Another girl says.
The guys take a look at all the girls around whom are looking at Li, then the guys looks at Li.
"Damn this guy." A guy says.
"He takes all the chicks." Another guy says.
"Let's get this guy." Another guy says.
And then many guys run towards Li.
"Get him." One says as he runs towards Li.
Li avoids a tornado kick by one guy and then kicks another guy in the stomach. Two guys attacks Li with a series of kicks, he blocks them and then he hits one of them in the head with a fist and then continues to block the other guy's kicks. Li avoids the guy's high kick and sweeps him. The guy falls, landing on his back. As Li rises he does a spinning side kick, hitting the guy he recently hit in the head, kicking him in the stomach. The guy falls backwards. Then another guy attacks Li with a straight punch, Li avoids it and hits him in the head with a scorpion kick. Another guy attacks Li with a series of punches, Li blocks them all and hits the guy in the chest, the guy takes three steps backwards.
"Stop attacking me."
"This is awesome." John says as he films it.
At the same time a girl walks into the school ground, she is wearing dark blue jeans, a lighter blue jacket, a green yellow tank top, black shoes and red fingerless gloves. She has slightly longer than shoulder length brown hair and blue eyes, she also wears a pink headband. She holds a brown bag in the right hand that is also over her right shoulder. She is Hitomi, a Japanese-German 17 year old. Her martial art is karate.
Next to Hitomi is Drin, he is an American, 18 years old and a boxer. He wears brown pants, black shoes and a white T-shirt. He holds a red and black jacket over his right shoulder. He has short blonde spiked upwards hair.
"So Drin, where did you go?"
"I went to Europe."
"I went to Tokyo. What did you…"
They both see the crowd.
"What is happening?" Hitomi asks as she steps trough the crowd.
Li does a jump spinning kick and hits a guy in the face. The guy falls to the ground.
"Stop attacking me…" Li says, almost in tears.
"He is so wonderful." Some of the girls say at the same time.
"Who wants to challenge the great Chinese Dragon Li Wenjie?" John says as he steps next to Li.
"John, what are you doing?" He whispers to his friend.
"Don't worry your doing great." John whispers back.
"What?."
"Isn't there anyone who wants to fight with Li?"
Hitomi takes a look at the ground, more than ten people are lying on the ground.
("This guy must be a really good fighter.") Hitomi thinks as she steps forward.
"I want to challenge you." Hitomi says as she gets into a fighting stance.
"No, I don't want to fight anymore. And I don't want to fight a girl."
"What?" Everyone asks.
John steps closer to Li.
"Why do you not want to fight a girl dude? Are you afraid to get humiliated?" John whispers into his ear.
"It is not nice to hit girls." Li says with a smile.
And almost every girl starts to slightly blush.
"And therefore I cannot fight you." Li says with a smile to Hitomi.
He then bows to her, the Chinese way (the Chinese way means: right fist into his left palm and bow. So I don't have to right that every time…).
"Have a nice day." Li says and walks away.
"Dude what are you doing?" John asks his friend as he walks next to him.
Li just smiles to his friend, then both of them walk inside the school. The crowd is just silent.
A short while later Drin walks in a corridor to his classroom. He is about to step inside buy he sees Asuka Kazama standing by a desk and talking to her friends, Drin quickly "hides" behind the wall.
"There she is. She is even cuter than I remember." Drin says as he holds one hand at his heart.
He then takes one more look at Asuka.
"Today I'll do it. I'll confess my love."
In Drin's vision:
"Asuka Kazama." Drin says as he takes her hand.
"Yes?" She says as she blushes and as she looks into his eyes.
"I have always…" Drin says as he looks into her eyes.
"Loved you."
She looks at him for a second.
"I love you." She says and then she kisses him.
End of vision:
"I can't wait." Drin says with tears in his eyes.
Darin then walks inside, looking at Asuka. She looks back, she smiles. Then she runs towards him. He smiles and runs towards her, slightly blushing. Both of them open their arms.
("I can't believe it.") Drin thinks.
"There you are." Asuka says with a smile.
"Asuka." Drin says with a smile.
Then Asuka wraps her arms around Li.
"What?" Drin says with his mouth open and as he looks at Li and Asuka.
"Um…Hi… Asuka."
"I'm so proud of you." Asuka says with a big smile and as she lets go of Li.
"What did I do?" Li asks confused.
"Who?... Who is that guy?" Drin asks as he points at Li.
"That's Li, Asuka's childhood friend." John says.
"What?" Drin says with tears in his eyes and as he looks at John.
"Welcome back Drin." John says.
Li and Asuka take their seats.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Asuka says with a big smile.
"Tell you what?"
"That you beat up the Black Dragons." Asuka says with a smile and as she looks into his eyes.
"But I…"
Then Mina takes a seat behind Asuka and Li.
"And we saw you trough the window when you fought recently." Mina says with a smile.
"That was a misunderstanding…."
"You were awesome." Both of the girls say at the same time with a smile.
"But…" Li says but gets interrupted as the teacher walks inside.
"Take your seats."
All the students take their seats.
"Before we start I just want to remind everyone that the tournament will begin the 15th of November and that all the teams are prepared for a hard competition."
"Tournament? Teams?" Li says to himself.
John takes his hand up in the air.
"Yes John?"
"Li recently arrived, why don't you tell him about it?"
"Oh yea, thanks for reminding me. The tournament is a fighting tournament where everyone who wants can compete. But you must be in a team of 3."
"I see." Li says.
"Teacher, as my team is one man short, can't Li join my team."
"Of course. Li, you are in John's team."
"…Okay…" Li says, not really wanting to be in a tournament to begin with.
John gives Li a thump up. Li just smiles to John. As the lesson goes by it soon gets time for lunch. Li, Asuka, Mina and John enter the dinning room.
"What will we have today?" Li asks as he takes a tray.
"I think its soap." John says as takes a look.
And soap it is. Tomato soap in fact. Shortly they all have taken food and walks towards the tables.
"Where should we sit?" Li asks his friends.
"Here." John says as he takes a seat at a round table.
They all puts their trays at the table and takes their seats except for Li who walks away to take tea into his cup. At a nearby table is Lili. She looks at Li.
"Strong, skilled, kind and handsome. He has potential." Lili says, mostly to herself but also to her friends.
"You mean Li?" A female friend of Lili says as she looks at Li as well.
"He is cute." She says to Lili.
"I heard he fought the Black Dragons. He must be good." A male friend of Lili says.
"He is." Lili says and gets up from her seat, walking towards Li.
Li is about to take a seat when…
"Li." Lili says with a smile.
Li turns around, he smiles at Lili. John smiles as well. Mina and Asuka don't smile.
"Hi Lili." Li says with a smile and as he puts his cup at the table, still standing.
"Why don't you come and seat at our table?" Lili asks.
"No thanks, but you are welcome to seat with us."
"Yea." John says with a smile.
Asuka and Mina just shake their heads.
"No thanks." Lili says as she looks at Mina and Asuka.
"Li?" Lili says as she looks into his eyes.
"Yes?"
Asuka and Mina doesn't like where this is going.
"Would you like to… go out with me?" Lili says as she gets closer to him.
John spits out the water he just drank and he starts to chough. Asuka and Mina get a look on their faces that could kill, looking at Lili.
"Go out with you… where?" Li asks slightly confused.
John slaps himself in the forehead. Lili giggles at Li's comment.
"You're so cute." Lili says with a smile and then she kisses him on the cheek.
Asuka and Mina gets angry, they look like they will kill Lili right now. Asuka slowly stretches her hand towards the spoon, planning to use it as a knife. John moves away.
"Meet me at the roof top in ten minutes." Lili whisper into his ear.
"…Okay…" Li says, blushing.
"Bye." Lili says as she walks away.
Li takes a seat.
"Why is it the idiot that gets all the girls?" John asks as he looks at Li.
Li, Mina and Asuka looks at him.
"I don't like her." Asuka says as she begins eating her soap.
"Why?" Li asks as he begins eating as well.
"Because she always wants to beat me in everything. She always wants to be more popular than me and now she tries to steal my b…" Asuka stops herself, blushing as she does so.
"Your what?" Mina asks.
"Yea, your what?" John asks, teasing her.
"My best friend." Asuka says, still blushing.
"Don't worry, that will never happen." Li says with a smile and then he starts to eat his soap again.
"Hey Li, we should visit our team captain before the next lesion." John says, trying to change the subject.
"Yea sure." Li says with a smile.
They shortly leave their seats and walks out to the corridor. On their way they meet Hitomi.
"Hitomi." Mina says with a smile and as she hugs her.
"Hi Mina." Hitomi says as she hugs her back.
"Welcome back Hitomi." Asuka says and she hugs her.
"Thanks." Hitomi says as she hugs her back.
"Hi." John says with a smile.
"Hi John."
Li smiles but he doesn't say anything. Asuka then steps next to Li.
"This is Li." Asuka says, introducing him.
"You're that guy." Hitomi says.
"Nice to meet you Hitomi." Li says as he bows to her the Chinese way
Hitomi is about to say something but the principal arrives.
"Welcome back Hitomi." He says.
"Thanks." Hitomi says with a smile.
"But I have some bad news."
"What?" Hitomi says as she and the others take a step closer.
"Your dorm has had an accident and has to be repaired."
"For how long?" Hitomi asks.
"About one moth or so. I'm sorry."
"She could stay at my dorm." Li says with a smile.
Hitomi turns around to face Li.
"What?" Hitomi, Asuka and Mina say at the same time.
"Dude, what are you thinking?" John asks his friend.
"Yea, she could have my room. I can sleep in the kitchen or outside. I don't mind." Li says with a smile.
"Or dude, you can sleep in my dorm." John says as he points at himself.
"Your room is already full." Mina says as she looks at John.
"I am sure that…" John says with an "evil" smile and as he looks at the girls.
"… That Lili wouldn't mind if he slept in her…"
Asuka hits him in the face. John falls on his back. Hitomi giggles.
"It was a joke…" John says as he gets up.
"Li, are you really…"
"As I said, I could sleep in the kitchen." Li says with a smile to the principal.
"I'm glad it all worked out in the end. Bye." He says as he walks away.
"Bye." Everyone says.
Suddenly Hitomi hugs Li.
"Thank you." She says with a smile, still hugging him.
"It was nothing." Li says as Hitomi lets go of him.
Then the girls start to walk away.
"See you later." The girls say and then they leave.
"Dude." John says to his friend who stands next to him.
"Yea?"
"I'm so jealous of you."
Li giggles.
"Let's go and meet the other guy in our team." Li says to his friend and as he starts to walk away.
"Yea, he is also our team captain."
After few minutes, the exit the red house.
"He lives in the yellow house?" Li asks his friend.
"Yea, he is a second year student."
"I see."
After few minutes they stand in front of a door on the second floor. John knocks at the door but no answer.
"Maybe he isn't here right now." John says.
"Knock again." Li suggests.
John knocks again yet again no answer. Then John tries to open the door, it is open. John walks slowly inside.
"John, we can't just…"
"Come on, maybe he is inside."
"I guess." Li says as he walks inside, closing the door behind him.
There are cloths everywhere on the floor. There is also food at the floor, such as the half eaten pizza.
"He sure has… clean room…" Li says as he looks at the floor.
John and Li walks further inside the apartment. Then they see a guy lying in a sofa. He seems to be asleep.
The guy is Lan Jiu, an 18 year old Chinese. He wears black jeans, brown souse and an open black shirt with nothing under it. He has black hair that is slightly longer than shoulder length and he has brown eyes.
On the floor close to the sofa (just on floor as well) are many empathy cans. Lan is also holding on his right hand, even thou he seems to be asleep.
"Hey Lan, wake up." John says.
Lan slowly opens his eyes, then he sits up in the sofa.
"Hi John. How's that?" Lan asks as he points at Li.
"My name is Li Wenjie, nice to meet you." Li says as he makes a Chinese bow to him.
"He is in our team." John says with a smile, knowing that Li is very skilled.
"Welcome to our team Chinese brother, I'm Lan Jiu." Lan says a he stretches out his hand.
Li shakes it and both of them smile.
"John, give me a beer." Lan says as he stretches his arms while he gets up from the sofa.
"You sure like to drink." John says to himself as he walks to the refrigerator.
"You must be a master of Zui Quan, am I right?" Li says as Lan rises.
"You bet." Lan says as he catches a can that John throws to him.
"His style is Drunken Fist." John says as he walks up to them.
"That's what I just said, Zui Quan."
"…Right… Anyway, what do say about training for the tournament Lan?" John asks while he picks his ear.
"Let's meet someday, in the gym… And train…" The leader of the group says.
"How about tomorrow?" John asks as he claps his hands (once) and then points at both Li and Lan.
"What about tomorrow?" Lan asks as he looks at John.
"We train… At the gym." John says as he looks at Lan.
"What gym?" Lan asks as he looks at John, blinking many times as he has trouble seeing John.
"Here, at the school."
"What school?"
John is about to say something…
"Sorry guys, I have to go." Li says as he walks towards the door.
"Where?" John asks as he looks at Li.
"I am going to met Lili." Li says as he opens the door.
"Lili?" Lan asks surprised.
"Yea."
"Who's Lili?" Lan says as he points at Li.
As John begins to explain to Lan Li closes the door behind him and walks to the roof top at the red house. As he opens the door he sees that Lili stands by the fence. She looks down at the school ground.
"There you are." Lili says as she turns around to look at him.
"Is there something you want to tell me?" Li asks with a smile.
"I'd like to ask you something." Lili says as she walks closer to him, her hair blowing in the wind.
"Yes?"
"Do you want to be my boyfriend?" Lili asks with a smile and as she looks into his eyes.
"Boyfriend?" Li asks as he blushes.
"Yea, my boyfriend."
Li takes a step backwards. Lili gets slightly confused.
"I'm sorry Lili, but I am not looking for a girlfriend right now."
"What?"
"I'm sorry, have a nice day." Li says as he bows to her.
Li then turns around and leaves, closing the door behind him.
"He…Rejected me… ME!" Lili says as she gets angry.
"I have never been rejected before, I whom has everything a guy wants." Lili says as she begins to walk in a circle.
"I know, I'll win him over with my female charm." Lili says to herself with a smile.
Meanwhile…
"What should I do…?" Li asks himself as he scratches the back of his head.
Then Li walks into someone. It's Joey. He spills soda over his brown shirt with a black stripe in the middle.
"Who is the…" Joey says as he turns around.
"…Oh…It's you…" Joey says as he takes a step back.
"I'm sorry." Li says.
"No, it was my fault."
"But I was the one who…"
"You hear that Frankie? I walk into this guy and he apologises." Joey says as he looks at Frankie and points at Li.
"A heart of gold." Frankie says.
"But…What about your shirt?" Li asks as he points at Joey.
"Don't worry, there's plenty more like it." Joey says as he smiles towards Li.
Then a guy walks past them, wearing exactly the same shirt as Joey but it is green instead of brown.
"Hey you." Joey says as he points at the guy.
The guy turns his head to look at Joey, still walking slowly.
"Shirt. Come on." Joey says as he still points at him and starts to walk towards him.
The guy starts to walk faster, with Joey and Frankie after him.
"…But…How…?" Li asks himself in confusion.
Li shakes his head and decides not to think about it. As he walks in the corridor he sees someone in the classroom. Li steps inside. It's Irwandi. He sits on one of the middle seats and looks like he's reading a book.
"Good day Irwandi." Li says as he walks up to him.
"Good day Li." Irwandi says as he looks up.
"What are you doing?" Li asks as he takes a seat.
"Reading a book."
"What book?"
"Science."
"I see, if I may ask…"
Meanwhile… In the dorms…
"Welcome inside Hitomi." Asuka says with a smile and as she opens the door.
"It looks nice." Hitomi says as she puts down two bags at the floor.
"It seems bigger than my last dorm."
"We are going to have so much fun tonight." Mina says as she hugs Hitomi.
"Yea…Hey, what's that?" Hitomi asks as she points at a box.
"I don't know." Asuka says as she walks over to it.
"Hey, there's a note on it." Mina says as she notices the note.
Asuka picks it up and starts to read it.
"To my Li Wenjie."
The others look confused.
"Let's open it." Mina says as she starts to open the box.
"What the…?" Asuka says as she sees what's inside.
In the box are many red roses and a white piece of paper with a pink heart on.
"What the hell…" Mina says.
Hitomi starts to giggle.
"What?" Asuka asks as she turns around.
"Looks like someone has s crush on Li." Hitomi says with a smile.
Both Asuka and Mina look away as they slightly start to blush. Then the front door opens again. Inside walks Li, Irwandi and John.
"Dude I'm telling you…" John says as he talks to Li.
"Hello again." Li says as he looks at Hitomi with a smile.
"Hi." Hitomi says back to him with a smile.
"Hello Hitomi, welcome back." Irwandi says with a smile.
"Thanks Irwandi."
"Um… Why is there a box fuelled with roses…" John asks as he points at the box.
"It's for Li." Asuka says as she crosses her arms, slightly annoyed.
"For me?" Li asks confused and as he points at himself.
"There's even a heart on a piece of paper." Irwandi says as he notices the paper.
"Pick it up and read it." John says interested.
"It doesn't say anything besides it's for Li." Asuka says crossing her arms, looking slightly angry at Li.
Li starts to blush. He tries to hide it but al of them sees it.
"Li, who send you this?" Mina asks slightly annoyed as well.
"I…don't know." Li says as he tries to hide his face.
"What do you mean "you don't know"?" Asuka says, rising her voice just a little bit.
"I don't know." Li says while John takes a step backwards as he gets scared.
"I sense a bad aura here." John whispers to his friend.
Then Li takes of his long scarf and puts it on a shelf. Suddenly someone knocks on the door. It's a middle aged man with gray cloths and a gray cap. He looks like a delivery boy, and he probably is as he holds another box.
"I've got a package here for Li." The delivery man says he looks at them.
"I am Li." Li says as he looks at the delivery man.
"You? You are one lucky fellow." The delivery man says as he puts down the box next to Li, and then he leaves.
John (without asking Li for promotion to) opens the box. And just like the other one it's full with roses. Both Mina and Asuka looks first at the flowers and then at Li, angrily.
"I think we should get out of here." Irwandi whispers to his two friends.
"Agreed." John says as he walks out with his friends behind him.
Li follows John and Irwandi out, closing the door behind him.
"Anyway, I'll show you…" Mina says as she leads Hitomi further inside the dorm.
Meanwhile Li and the others walk back into the school (red house).
"Dude, you're so lucky. So who is the girl?"" John asks Li with a smile.
"I don't know." Li says, slightly embarrassed.
"Come on, you can tell me man." John says as he puts his right arm on Li's left shoulder.
"You don't have to if you don't want to." Irwandi says.
"But I don't know." Li says as he looks at Irwandi.
Suddenly Irwandi takes a step behind Li as he sees Joey and Frankie standing outside. They wear the same cloths as before except that Joey's shirt is green instead of brown…
"Yo Li." Joey says to Li with a smile as Li opens the front door.
"…Yo…" Li says to Joey, slightly confused.
Li opens the door and his two friends follows him inside.
"What was that about?" John asks Li.
"I have no idea." Li answers back.
"I just thought of something that I have to do. See you later." Irwandi says with a smile and walks away.
"See ya." Li and John say at the same time.
"Shall we go to the classroom and…" Li says as he points at the direction to his next class.
"Hell no, let's go to the "hang out room"." John says as he points at the other direction and starts to walk away.
"The "hang out room"?" Li asks as he follows John.
"Yea you know a room with a big sofa, a soda machine, a pool table…and shit. A room where we just hang out."
"Okay." Li says with a smile as he follows John.
In short they arrive at the "hang out room".
"That's weird. No one's here." John says as he closes the door after Li has entered.
"Wow, what a nice room." Li says as he looks around.
In the big room is a long dark blue sofa next to one wall, two round tables with eight chairs, a pool table and more accessories (including a soda machine).
"Let's play some pool." Li says as he walks over to the pool table.
"Sure, I'll just get a Fanta." John says as he walks over to the soda machine.
"Damn."
"What?" Li asks as he puts on the balls on the table.
"It's still broke." John says as he kicks it.
"It won't get better if you kick it." Li says, slightly laughing.
"I'll be back in a short while, I'll just go and get a Fanta." John says as he opens the door.
"Okay." Li says as he hears the door close.
Li continues to put all the balls at the table and into the triangle. Then he hears the door open again so he turns around.
"Okay John…" Li says as he turns around.
But it is not John who stands in front of him, instead it's Lili.
"Hello Li." Lili says as she closes the door.
"Hi Lili." Li says with a smile.
Lili starts to walk to Li, standing in front of him.
"Did you like the flowers Lianje?" Lili says, standing with one hand on her waist (sexy).
Immediately Li starts to blush.
"So it was you…They were nice." Li says as he tries to look away.
"I'm glad my Lianje liked them." Lili says as she puts one of her hands on Li's chest.
Li starts to blush more.
"Do I make you nervous?" Lili says.
Then Li feels her breasts touching his chest and he starts to blush more. Suddenly he grabs her shoulders and pulls her away from him.
"Stop this…You shouldn't give away your body…you must treasure it." Li says as he looks down at the floor, then he lets go of her.
She is silent for few seconds and he continues to looks down.
"Lianje."
Li slowly looks up. Suddenly Lili wraps her arms around his neck and kisses him. Her eyes closed while his shuts open. He is completely still (shocked) and doesn't know what to do. But slowly, so slowly he doesn't resist it. The feeling of her lips touching his… makes him feel like he flies. Closing his eyes, slowly he starts to kiss her back…
Meanwhile…
John has get his Fanta and is walking back to the "hang out room". He hasn't opened the Fanta yet. While he walks down the corridor he sings to himself.
"Hoo." He says as he points to the left.
"Haa," He says as he points to the right."
"I love Fanta." John says as he opens the Fanta and starts to drink it, then he opens the door…
"Hey Li yoooooooou…" John says and then stares at them.
Li and Lili however, are to busy to notice him. John stares at them and points at them, shaking. He is trying to say something but can't bring himself to do so. He slowly turns around and closes the door after him, still having the same expiration for few seconds.
Suddenly Asuka, Mina and Hitomi walks slowly down the corridor. As they notice John they walk over to him.
"Hey John, where's Li." Asuka asks with a smile.
John (having his mouth open) is unable to say something, he just points at the door.
"Is he in here?" Asuka asks as she is about to open the door.
"NOOOOOO!" John says as he stops her.
"What the?" Asuka says as she takes a step back (John covers the door).
"Your acting weird…well weirder than usual John." Mina says, suspecting something.
"Are you hiding something?" Hitomi asks curious.
"No…And Li is not inside this room." John says as he shakes his room.
"Then where is he?" Asuka asks as she crosses her arms.
"Classroom."
"Classroom? But class doesn't start in like a half hour or so." Mina says, putting her hands on her waist.
"Yea but…he felt he had to study to…to catch up to the others… in class… you know…" John says as he starts too sweet.
"I guess that makes sense." Asuka says as she puts her hands on her waist.
"Anyway…lets play some pool." Mina says with a smile as she crosses her arms.
"No you can't do that." John says as he waves his hands in the air.
"Why not?" Hitomi says as she as well crosses her arms.
"Because…"
"You are hiding something aren't you?" Asuka asks as she steps a little closer.
"No…It's just that… I heard that Lili is going to visit Li in the classroom…Now that he is alone and…"
John didn't get a chance to say more before Asuka walks away with her two friends after her, giggling.
"That was close…" John says as he takes a seat on the floor.
Meanwhile.
She kisses him, he kisses back. Lili starts to lead him to the sofa, Li however just continues to kiss her. Suddenly Li falls backwards with Lili falling on top of him yet their lips still touching. She starts to kiss him deeply and he starts to put his arms around her. Suddenly Li opens his eyes and shoves her away (kindly) and sits up.
"No…We shouldn't do that… We barley know each other…"
Lili is about to say something when Li interrupts her.
"But…that was the most wonderful feeling I've ever had…" Li says with a smile.
Lili slowly starts to smile as well. Li gets up and walks towards the door.
"But I'd like to know you more before we…" Li stoops himself, blushing as he does so.
"Let's start at being friends." Li says with a smile.
Lili doesn't say anything, she just smiles back. Then Li walks out of the room, closing the door behind him.
"DUDE!" John says.
"Hi John." Li says as he takes a step backwards.
"You kissed Lili…I can't believe it…how was it?"
Li looks down at the floor, smiling.
"Wonderful."
"You son of a bitch…" John says, almost crying.
Then John shakes his head.
"Anyway, what happened?"
"Nothing." Li says as he starts to walk away.
"Nothing?" John asks as he follows him, drinking the last of the Fanta.
"I stopped her."
"You stooped her? Are you gay?"
"No, I just think we should start of as friends and then…" Li says as he looks at John.
"Oh my god, you really are gay." John interrupts him.
"No, it is the honourable thing to do." Li says as he opens the door (one of the exists).
"I guess."
As they walk out a man sitting on a bench sees them. He wears black pants, black shoes, a black sleeveless shirt under a open silver jacket and black fingerless gloves. His eyes are brown and his hair is a little longer than shoulder length, the lower part of his hair is white while the upper part is black.
As Li and John walks close to him he suddenly attacks them (surprise attack) with a tornado kick with his left leg. But both John and Li are able to doge it (by walking backwards) thou surprised. But as he lands on his left leg he does a side kick with his right leg and hits John in the stomach so hard that he falls backwards and lands on his back.
The guy then attacks Li with a low kick (right leg) but before he hits Li's leg he suddenly changes and kicks towards Li's head instead. Li blocks it with his arm but then the guy does a spinning side kick (left leg) and hits Li in the stomach. Li takes three steps back. John looks at the guy.
"It's… Silver Dragon…"
