Hey guys! First ever Tekken fan fiction! And this one is filled with yuri! Yuri! YURI! Not much introduction here.

This is a little AU. Don't be surprised if I throw my own OC's here, myself included. Once again I will have Cupid Jr. (Owen) dispatched into the world of Tekken, providing support for the main pairing. Though here, he will go by the codename of Jack the Ripper or Jack. And he will also play a more active role in the upcoming Tournament as a Tekken fighter himself!

So, yeah, this is the second episode in the Freedom Writers series. Right after the Kingdom Hearts Arc, Owen and Aqua continue their pursuit of Ralph in the Tekken universe. And as the story progresses, we will get a deeper look into Owen's past with the devil within him, Daemon.

The main pairing in this fic will be Asuka/Lili. Side pairings will have very vague Owen x Aqua, OC#1xAqua, JinxJulia, and Leo (girl btw)xOC#2. Yeah, pretty much all of it. Enjoy!

Note: Don't like yuri/shoujo ai? Don't read. And I don't own Tekken and it's characters. As well as Kingdom Hearts. They all belong to Namco and Square Enix, which I don't own as well.

Chapter 5:

Owen's POV...

The next day...

"So when does the Tournament start?" I asked, taking a sip of my coke.

Upon finishing her meal, Lili dabbed her mouth with her napkin. "In three days. All participating fighters have already begun training a month after signing up."

"How did you manage to get me in, by the way?"

She giggled. "That, Owen, is a secret."

I sighed and smiled. "I see. Well, again I wanna thank you. You've been a great help."

"No worries."

I stood up and took her plate. "I'm sorry I couldn't give you a more exquisite meal today, Lili. All we had was curry."

"It is quite alright. I have tasted curry before and didn't like it. But you cooked it quite nicely."

I blushed and put the plate in the sink. "Thanks."

"By the way, when is Asuka coming back?"

"This afternoon. Apparently she was called by the people back in the dojo. Since her father is still incapacitated she has to fill in every now and then."

She pouted. "I miss her."

I chuckled. "I can tell."

"...Hey, Owen?"

"Hm?" I replied, turning on the faucet.

"Do you mind if I ask you something?"

Not turning away from washing the dishes, I replied anyway. "Ask away."

"What do you think of...homosexuality?"

Homosexuality? Where did that come from?

"What do you mean?"

"Are you repulsed by homosexual individuals? Do you despise them?"

Why is she asking this? "No. I don't despise homosexuals."

"Then are you afraid of them?"

I shook my head. "Not at all."

"Really?"

I chuckled and nodded. "Really."

I heard her shift. "I see."

"Why the sudden questions?"

"No reason."

I turned off the faucet and set the plates on the dish rack. I wiped my hands before making my way back to the table. I sat beside her.

"Lili," I began. "You know you can tell me anything. We're friends, right?"

I saw her cheeks turn pink. "I-it's nothing, really. It's trivial."

"Even the most trivial things can be important." I smiled my best smile. "So what's on your mind?"

She looked down and twiddled her thumbs. "Did you mean what you said earlier? That you don't hate homosexuals?"

I nodded. "I do."

She took a deep breath before exhaling. "I'm in love..."

"With Asuka?"

She looked at me with wide eyes, her cheeks flushing even more. "How did you-?"

"It's not hard to see. And from what I've learned yesterday, you seem rather fond of that girl. And I know it's not because of your rivalry with each other."

"But...I thought for sure that I've hidden my feelings well..."

I scratched my chin. "Though I figured it out right away, she still seems to be in the dark."

"You think so?"

"I know so." I sighed. "Fukou da, she's pretty dense."

She mimicked my sigh and looked out the window. "What do I do? I cannot seem to rid myself of these feelings."

I shrugged. "The only thing you can do."

"Which is?"

"Tell her."

...

...

...

"...What?"

"Tell her."

She blinked at me twice. "You are joking."

I shook my head. "I'm not. You've known each other ever since the Fifth Tournament. Though it may not seem like it, you two are pretty darn close."

"But what if she doesn't reciprocate my feelings?"

I looked down. "Then there's nothing that can be done. You can't force someone to fall in love."

"True." There was a slight pause before I heard her speak again. "Will you help me?"

I looked back at her. "What?"

"Will you help me win her heart?"

Is she actually asking this? "You want my help in what now?"

"Please, Owen! I really love her and I am not sure whether she would accept my love or not! So I want to heighten my chances of being with her."

She's begging. She's actually begging! No wait, she's just pleading.

She then put her hands together in a begging gesture as she inched closer to me, her eyes glistening in tears. "Please, Owen. I beg you."

Okay, now she's begging.

Before I could give my answer I felt my PDA vibrate. I took it out and stood up.

"I'll get back to you on that," I said, walking out of the dining room. I shut the door behind me and pressed ANSWER. "Director?"

"Fabian," he greeted. "How's progress going?"

"It's going smoothly. I've just got myself a slot in the Tournament. With a little help, of course."

"That is good."

"Anything else, sir?"

"Yes. How is Aqua?"

I walked over to her room and opened the door. What I saw was Aqua sleeping soundly with a thick sheet of blanket wrapped around her. Lexia was sleeping on a chair beside the bed, obviously exhausted for taking care of the blue haired woman three days straight.

I smiled. "She's been doing better, lately. She's resting now."

"How long until she fully recovers?"

"Not long now." I walked up to the sleeping blonde and put an unused blanket over her. With that rather short tank top she was wearing right now, she's bound to get sick herself with the AC turned up this high. It was freezing! "Lexia's sleeping as well. She's been taking care of her without rest. She deserves to have some RnR."

"Please give her my best regards. Aqua too."

"Got it," I said as I planted a small kiss on Lexia's forehead and faced the door.

Yes, I do that. It's become quite a habit of mine lately. And since she doesn't mind, I do it anyway.

Actually, she's always the one who tells me to show a bit more intimacy towards my friends. The girls anyway. Don't ask why I came up with a kiss on the cheek.

"What about you? Have you been resting enough?"

"Yes. But I've had quite an interesting encounter with someone last night."

"Really? Mind telling me who you met?"

I smiled. "The very woman who's been MIA for so long..."

"Amelia Earhart?"

"...Okay, the second woman who's been MIA for so long..."

"In Tekken?"

"In Tekken."

He looked like he was digging into his own thoughts. It's been silent for a good half minute before he finally figured it out. Oh, Director...

"Jun Kazama!" he exclaimed.

I sighed. "There we go."

"But how? Why?"

"Apparently she wants my help."

"With what?"

"Owen?" Upon hearing a soft voice from behind I turned around. I saw Aqua sitting up as she rubbed her eyes. "What time is it?"

I smiled. "It's noon. It's alright to go back to sleep."

She shook her head. "No. I've slept enough. And it's suffocating to stay in bed all the time."

I walked up to her and placed a hand on her forehead. "Well, your fever's gone down."

She looked over to the sleeping doctor. "Oh, is she alright?"

"She's fine. Just tired."

"Really? Is it because of me?"

"No. Well, kinda. Ain't gonna lie to you. She's been taking care of you for three days straight."

She buried her face in her hands. "Oh no..."

"Don't worry. She's used to this. Remember, she's our top doctor. So she has to work twenty-four-seven for her patients." I placed my hand on her shoulder. "She just needs rest."

"I still feel bad..."

I bit my lip and looked at the PDA. "Director, I'll contact you soon."

He nodded. "Very well."

And with that he hung up. I turned back to the pure-hearted Wielder as I tucked my PDA away.

"Aqua..." I whispered, wrapping her in a gentle embrace. "...don't worry. You're not a burden."

"But..." she sniffled out. "...but I..."

"Everyone's concerned about you. If we had thought you were a burden then we wouldn't be going through all this trouble." I kissed the top of her head. "We care about you, Aqua. I care about you."

She quivered. "Really?"

"Really. Look up." And she did. Very slowly. Her eyes were glistening in tears. "You're a very important friend of mine. If anything were to happen to you...I dunno what I'd do..."

She blinked. "Owen..."

I wiped the rolling tears from her cheeks. "I gave my heart to you, didn't I? Isn't that enough to help you realize how much you mean to me?" I caressed her cheek and smiled. "You're special, Aqua. Very special."

She froze in my touch. But her body began to heat up once more. Was that good or bad?

"Do you mean that, Owen?"

"Yes." I leaned in closer. "What proof do you need?"

Her eyelids partially closed. "How about...a..."

I did the same, leaning a bit closer. "A...?"

"Ki-"

The door slammed open, revealing a panting Asuka. "Owen!"

Startled, we both quickly pulled away. Upon doing so I accidentally hit Lexia's chair, startling her awake.

"Pikachu!" she cried out.

I blinked twice. "Pikachu?"

She turned to me with droopy eyes. "Where's my Chu-Chu?"

...

...

...

...

I turned to Asuka. "Something wrong?"

She nodded frantically. "It's Lili!"

I shot up. "Lili?"

"She's...she's..."

"What?"

"...She's missing!"

An hour later...

We've searched almost the entire area for Lili. So far we haven't found even a trace of her. Where is she?

I'm really worried. Everyone is.

Especially Asuka...

I snickered. She may not admit it out loud, but it's pretty obvious she really cares about her. Albeit being really violent and hostile towards her, she has a soft spot for the blonde.

A typical tsundere.

"Any sign of her yet?" I turned to the fighter and shook my head. She grunted. "Dammit. Where the hell is that stupid, arrogant, snotty...rich girl?"

I laughed lightly. "Don't worry, Asuka. We'll find her."

"Worry? Why would I worry about that-"

"Stupid, arrogant, snotty, rich girl?" I cut her off, teasingly mimicking her earlier words.

Her gaze fell downwards. "Don't think I care about that girl. I'm just worried that because she always tails me her people will start coming after me if something had happened."

"Right. Sure."

She glared at me. "I'm serious!"

I nodded. "I know."

Her eyes narrowed. "No you don't."

"Yes I do."

"Then wipe that stupid smile off your face!"

"Nope."

With my unrealistic reflexes I managed to sidestep her punch. She looked at me with a glare that told me to "get lost!".

"Don't make me hate you," she growled.

I put my hands up. "Fine."

She then straightened her posture and sighed. "Seriously, it's like everyone likes to get on my nerves."

"But I need to be honest, Asuka. I really do think you're worried about her. Forgive me for saying this, but it's exactly what it looks like."

"I'm not-"

"Don't deny it."

She looked away. "...But I don't...I mean..."

I smiled and put a hand on her shoulder. "Can't you just admit that you've become friends with her?"

She looked at me with disbelief. "Friends? With her?"

I nodded. "Even the most unexpected people can be your friends."

"But she's annoying! Snobby! And annoying!" I quirked a brow at her. "...I already said 'annoying', didn't I?"

"You can look past all that and get to know her more. The reason why she wanted to spend time with you yesterday was because she wanted to get closer to you."

"...I thought it was to explore things she had never done before?"

"...That and to get closer to you. Believe it or not, she actually cares about you."

Her cheeks formed a cute blush of pink. "I...never knew..."

"Yes. She cares about you." I looked down and inaudibly mumbled, "In more ways than one."

"What was that?"

I shook my head. "Nothing." Just then my PDA began to ring. "Excuse me. My boss is calling."

"Okay. I'll go check by the cafe."

"Please do." As she left I dug out my PDA and answered it. "Director?"

"Owen, I'm sorry but I've just got a call from a group named "Desert Hearts"," he said. "They're a doujin group that's planning on showcasing professional fanfictions and they want you to do a pairing."

"Pairing?"

"Yes."

"But I'm in the middle of the mission, sir. Besides, I can't just bail and go off to another world to make their pairing."

"Actually...they require a Tekken pairing."

"...Eh?"

"Yes. A yuri Tekken pairing."

I blinked twice. "...I think I might now the pairing they want."

"Yes. They're asking you to make an AsukaxLili pairing for their showcase. I figured it was convenient for you're already in the Tekken universe."

"I see..."

"But if you don't think you can do it then I can just ask someone else."

I shook my head. "No, it's fine sir. Your timing couldn't be more perfect anyway."

"What do you mean."

"I promised Lili to help her..." I paused and grinned. "...to help her win Asuka's heart."

"Must be fate."

"Yeah."

"So you'll do it?"

"Oh, hell yeah!" Then a thought struck me. "But wait, I'm in the real Tekken universe. Not the AU."

"You can always import your progress into an AU you create."

"Oh right, I forgot."

"Make an AU first then transfer your results into it after you've finished."

"Will do. But remind me to do so before we move on, okay?"

"Alright. I'll leave you to it."

"Sure."

"By the way...they've paid half of the amount they're willing to give you in advance."

"How much?"

"Five million."

"Good enough. Thanks, sir."

"Any time. I look forward to your results."

And with that we both hung up. "Okay, now this gives me an added reason to help her. Meh, I would've helped her even without that job."

I then dialed Lexia's number and waited for an answer. A few seconds later her face popped up in the screen. She was wet all over.

"...The hell happened to you?"

"I was helping Aqua shower," she said with a giggle. "One thing led to another and we started playing with each other and got wet."

What are you guys, five? "Really now?"

"She's awfully playful."

"...I can actually picture it. Despite her age."

"How old is she now, by the way?"

"Twenty-nine, I think?"

"Wow. And still looks very young. Plus she's playful." Her cheeks turned pink as she stared off into space. "It's cute...and it kinda turns me on..."

"Lexia," I warned.

"Sorry! Anyway, any luck in finding Lili?"

"No. We're still looking. But check this. I just got a call from the Director, and he said some doujin group named "Desert Hearts" wants me to make a pairing out of Asuka and Lili."

"Wait...Desert Hearts?"

"Yeah. You know them?"

"Do I!"

"...Do you?"

"Of course! They're like my number one source of yuri pairings! And they're all girls. And they're totally in love with one another! Kyaa~!"

"I guess I can understand why you like them so much..." I sighed then smiled. "Anyway, now I got two missions to take care of. So in case I feel ill, get some more medicine. I might be the next one to occupy that bed."

"Will do. Please take care of yourself, Owen."

"Thanks. See ya." I hung up and sighed. I looked up at the sky. "Lili...where are you...?"

Meanwhile...

Aqua's POV...

I took a sip of my tea and smiled. "I've never had tea this good."

"It's a family recipe of mine," Lexia said as she sat beside me. "It's called Cinnamon Deluxe."

"It's delicious."

Her cheeks turned pink as she scratched her cheek. "Thanks...but I'm not really that skilled in making tea. If my grandma made this then it would taste ten times better."

"I still think you did a good job."

"Again, thank you." She scooted closer to me. "So, how are you feeling?"

"A lot better, thanks to you."

"It's my job to take care of the sick." She smiled. "Especially such pretty ladies like yourself."

I felt myself blush at that comment. "Are you...coming onto me?"

"...And what if I am?"

I giggled. "Well, that would be bad. Owen's gonna get angry again if you try anything like last time."

"I can't help that you're too cute to play around with, not to mention so irresistibly hot."

My cheeks felt really warm now. "You don't mean that..."

"I do."

"May I remind you that I'm older than you by six years?"

"So? Age doesn't really matter right? Besides, you don't look twenty nine."

"Oh?" I grinned and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Well, how old do I look?"

"Nineteen."

I put my teacup on the table and playfully punched her. "Get out."

"I mean it!"

I giggled. "That's really sweet."

"It's the truth, really. You're...beautiful, Aqua..."

At that moment my eyes locked with hers. It showed various emotions. I just couldn't tell what.

And I myself had started to feel a stir of feelings within me. It felt weird...and yet...

"You...really think so...?" I whispered.

"I know so..."

I didn't know how or when it happened. I don't know what made me do it. But I do know one thing...

I am kissing Lexia.

Needless to say she was surprised. And I was also shocked by my own actions. Never have I imagined that I would initiate a kiss. With a girl to boot.

I dunno why, but I didn't care. I really didn't. Maybe it's because I was enjoying this.

Why? I don't know. But I'm loving this.

A few moments later I felt her returning the kiss. It was a heavenly feeling. I wanted more.

I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her closer to me. We both moaned as our kiss deepened. Her hand began to gently caress my cheek, making me sigh.

I then felt something warm and wet against my lips. What was that?

"Aqua..." she whispered. "...stick out your tongue."

Not bothering to ask why I did what she asked. She then began to rub her warm, wet tongue against mine. Out of instinct I started to mimic her actions.

It felt so good. I've never felt such pleasure. My entire body was turning hot, and my head was getting hazy.

"Lexia...I feel weird..." I whispered between the kiss.

"Is it...a bad kind of weird...?"

"No...I don't think so..."

She pulled away and pushed me to the bed. I blinked twice, my mind still in a haze. Her lips formed a small smile.

"Let me make you feel better then..."

To be continued...
