Hi! Again...Okay, here's chapter 3! I hope it's not too bad...I had all this 1st dan testing and review so it took me a while to write and submit this.

Disclaimer: I don't own Tekken or its characters...do I have to put this on every chapter?


Chapter 3: Mall Time!!

"Oh my gosh!" Asuka squealed. "Wait, are you sure it's my cousin Jin that we're talking about? Maybe it's some other Jin that we don't know, and actually knows how to pick up girls." Xiaoyu smiled at this.

"Nope. It's really your cousin Jin." she confirmed. "It's kinda wired though how he's all serious about getting things done, but if he loosens up, he's really sweet and-"

"Wow, that doesn't sound like him at all." Asuka laughed. "Well, come on! Let's go to the mall and get you something cute!" She grabbed her friend and they ran off.

Hwoarang burst into laugher. "Oh, you were serious?" his laughter died out after Jin gave him the 'what-the-heck-are-you-laughing-hysterical-laughter-about?' look. "It's just a little hard to believe...you know...you and gir-"

"Dude!" Jin stopped him. "I'm serious!"

"Okay, okay. But what do you want me to do?" the rebel started walking away. "Then again I am a total babe magnet..." he smiled.

"Ew..." then a smirk grew on his face. "But if you're a total 'babe magnet', then how come you can't even talk to my cousin?" Hwoarang couldn't argue with this comment. Lots of girls have admired him, but he only really liked Asuka. But what was he supposed to do? She makes it seem like she hates him which gave him the wrong idea all the time.

"Psh...Yeah I can!" he tried arguing.

"Fine then, do it."

"I uh...well, she's not here...right now..."

"You have a point." Jin thought for a moment. "Now help me with my problem! What am I supposed to say, do and-"

"Okay, first of all-you might want to have a little class." Jin looked down seeing his improper attire. He had on black pants with blue/white flames along the edge, slightly disheveled hair, and bare feet. But most importantly, he wasn't wearing a shirt.

"Ummm..."

"Oh yeah, and if you run out of things to say, just look at her in the eyes. It'll make you seem all mysterious." he nodded his head.

"That's not gonna work." Hwoarang then stared straight into Jin's eyes proving him wrong. "What if she thinks...what if she...what if...huh..."

"Ha-ha! Told ya!" He pushed him away. "Now go fix yourself."

"But, what am I supposed to wear?"

"No." Xiaoyu declined the 34th outfit Asuka threw at her. It was plain pink tank top and a white skirt. "It's too simple."

"Come on!" Asuka was so close to giving up. "I'm running outfits! And the other stores are so expensive!"

"OOH! That's so cute!" Xiaoyu squealed spotting a cute outfit indeed. It was a white shirt with fluff on the bottom and top witha white skirt that looked similar to its top. The sleeves were covered with black fluff and the accessories were black matching gloves and boots, pom-poms hanging from a green belt and a black choker with a red rose on the side (A/N: If you want to actually see it, it's Xiaoyu's extra costume in Tekken 5).

"Wow." was Asuka's only comment. "Jin will look like he's in a coma."

"But it's 100 dollars!" she complained noticing the price tag. Asuka saw how disappointed her friend was. It was also the only outfit she agreed on.

"How much do you have?" she sighed. Xiaoyu held out 50 from her wallet. "Okay, we both pay 50, kay?"

"Thank you so much!!" she ran up to hug her.

"But now you owe me." Asuka paused joking.

"Sure, I'll get you a date with Hwoarang." Xiaoyu joked back. The teenager next to her continued to take her money out trying to hide her reddened face. "You know you want to-"

"Xiao!" she stopped her again and walked over to the counter with the outfit. "I don't...I don't like him like that!"

"Suuuure..." They paid for the clothes and left the store.

"I'm not wearing a tux." Jin simply stated causing Hwoarang to put the formal clothes down on a table. They were back to the hotel where they all had to spend a month in for the tournament. "Besides, where did you even get that? You don't seem like the type that would wear a tux."

"Lee gave it to me...don't ask..." Hwoarang went digging back in the closet.

"Can I just go with something simple?" Jin stood up and found a white long sleeve, button-up shirt. "Ooh, and this." he grabbed a pair of black pants.

"Works for me."

"Wait, since when did you get these kind of clothes?"

"Well you know, for formal events." he walked away leaving Jin still wondering.

"So...how are you gonna do your hair? I don't think you sould go with the usual two ponytails." the two girls were both facing a mirror in Asuka's hotel room. Apparently, they had gone back to the hotel as well. Xiaoyu was sitting on a chair with Asuka behind it ready to arrange her hair however she wanted it.

"Uh, one ponytail?"

"Nah, too plain. Much like that one tank top and skirt you saw at the mall."

"Hmm...the traditional chinese hairstyle? You know, the one where-"

"No, a little to elegant for your outfit." Asuka picked up a brush.

"Can I just put hy hair down?"

"Alright!" Xiaoyu took out her ponytails down and she started brushing her hair. It didn't take that long considering the fact that her hair only went slightly below her shoulders. It was already 5:00pm and they were supposed to meet at the lobby of the hotel at 5:30.


Yay! I'm so smartical! I figured out how to put in some Hwoarang/Asuka in Chapter 3!! Anyway, I'm so happy I'm no longer a 1st kyu in taekwondo anymore! :D Tell me if you liked this chapter-or not. Hopefully y'all did. :)
