2 ½ weeks later, (at the park near Xiaoyu's house)….

She sat on the swing and looked down at her feet with weary thoughts running through her head. Even though she wasn't trying to pin down an exact date of when Jin would come back she couldn't help herself. He promised her that he would come back before 2 weeks had passed but it was already 4 days over the 2 week period.

Xiao: *sighs and looks up at the evening sky* "I shouldn't worry about it, he'll come back when he's finished with his business."

Neighbor: *walking with her child* "Oh hello Xiaoyu, are you waiting for someone again?"

Xiao: *looks up and waves at them* "Ye….no I'm not. I'm just enjoying the fresh air today." *smiles*

Neighbor: "Oh okay then, well don't stay out too late."

Xiao: *nods* "Okay."

*They walk away*

Meanwhile….

It was felt good to be back home in Japan, everything was familiar and comfortable. As his airplane landed behind the Mishima Zaibatsu all the workers, directors, managers and secretaries lined up inside near the entrance of the building to greet their boss.

Inside the Mishima Zaibatsu…

Secretary: "Hurry everyone hurry, Mr. Kazama is coming!"

*everyone scattered to their places and straightened their lines.*

Director: "Straighten up the lines more!"

This was the moment everyone's been waiting for… The glass doors slid open and Jin walked in.

Everyone: "Welcome back Mr. Kazama!"

Jin: *smiles* "Hello everyone, it's good to see your faces once again."

Emiko (secretary): *leans over and whispers* "Wow….Mr. Kazama actually smiled, when he smiles he's even more charming."

Kana (secretary): *whispers* "I know, he's like a prince out of a storybook."

*Both women giggle*

Rikuto: *proudly shakes Jin's hand* "Well done sir, you've done an outstanding job!"

Jin: "Thank you Rikuto. Any news from Kazuya and Heihachi?"

Rikto: *smiles* "Yes sir!"

Jin: "Let's chat in my office."

*Rikuto follows Jin to his office, then shuts the door behind them*

Rikuto: "We've been keeping up with them ever since you left, Kazuya was the first to make a move. He left for Singapore a few days after you did, once he got there he found out that the business partner he was supposed to talk with canceled their appointed meeting. So he kept going down the list of business partners and ended with the same results. The same thing happened to Heihachi."

Jin: *smirks* "Looks like they underestimated me and my team….thanks for working hard."

Rikuto: "Anytime sir!"

*They walk out and head to the main room where all the workers had gathered.*

Jin: *stand in front of them all* "Thank you all for working hard, you've done very well."

The crowd cheered before him with praises and compliments directed towards him. After chatting for a bit with everyone, he excused himself from the 'Welcome Home' party. He grabs his keys and quickly made his way to his car.

Back at the park…..

20 minutes later….

Xiao: *yawn* "I should get back home soon." *stops swinging and starts walking away*

Man: "You aren't going to just leave me standing here after I've come so far just to see you, right Xiao?"

*She stops in her tracks*

(Xiao's thoughts)

That voice…..

Xiao: *slowly turns around and sets her eyes on the person she's been longing for* "J-jin?!

It was like a flashback to when they were in high school, this was where they would've met, this is where they would've exchanged their feelings and this would be where the answers to her questions would be answered. Finally this fantasy moment she's been waiting for turned into reality.

Jin: *walks up to her and embraces her* "Sorry I had you waiting for a long time."

Xiao: "It's okay, four days isn't that long."

Jin: "Not four days, but almost two years."

Xiao: *blushes as she looks up at him* "Jin…"

(Xiao's thoughts)

He's so considerate and gentlemen-like….I think I might faint.

Xiao: "It's okay, I'm just glad your back!"

(Xiao's thoughts)

I hope I didn't sound too eager….I need to calm down!

Jin: "I like you Xiao."

Xiao: *a light pink blush spreads across her face.* "You like…..huh?"

*She becomes speechless at this point, so all she could do was stare up at him.*

*He smirks as he holds her cheeks with both hands and leans down towards her face.*

The next moment would change everything…

He leans in and gently places his lips onto hers, her lips were sweet and soft just as he imagined they would be.. She was in heaven; one of her lifelong goals had finally been accomplished.

Jin: *releases her* "I like you…a lot."

Xiao: *in a dreamy trance-like state * "I really like you too Jin." *snaps out of it.* "Would you like a cup of tea?"

Jin: "Sure, that would be nice."

One the way back to her house….

Jin: "Looks like nothing's changed around here. How's your Grandpa and brother?"

Xiao: "They left a while back."

Jin: "Why?"

Xiao: "Grandpa wanted to fulfill his lifelong dream and start up a huge restaurant business so he left with Cheng to search for the best chef in all of Japan."

Jin: "Oh I see."

Inside her house…..

She had already served the tea to Jin and herself, so they just sat in the living room chatting about his recent travels to Italy.

3 hours later (Inside her room upstairs)….

They ended up watching 2 action movies, drinking 3 cans each of Chuhai (flavored alcoholic canned drinks) and sharing a big bag of popcorn.

Xiao: *leaning on his shoulder* "Jin."

Jin: "Yes?"

Xiao: "So does this mean we're um..."

Jin: "Dating? Yes."

*She contently looks at the tv screen."

Xiao: "I'm glad."

*The movie ends*

Xiao: "Aw it ended too soon!"

Jin: "Shall we watch another one?"

Xiao: *nods* "Yes, let's watch a comedy movie this time."

Jin: "Sounds good."

*She puts in a comedy movie and presses play.*

Xiao: *sits back down and leans against him once more.* "This one should be good."

30 minutes later (around midnight)….

Though the movie wasn't even half way through, they both had accidently fallen into a deep slumber. Jin was usually a quiet and still sleeper, but as for Xiao, she usually twists and turns during sleep.

In the morning….

Somehow Xiao ended up sleeping on top of Jin, she had moved around so much last night that she even fell off the bed twice.

Jin: *yawns* "What is this weight on me?" *opens his eyes and looks down at her* "X-X-Xiao?!" *blushes*

Xiao: *slowly opens her eyes and yawns* "Mmmm…..This pillow isn't soft, I need to buy a new one." *looks up at him sleepily* "Wha!" *jumps up and rolls off the bed.* "Jin?!"

Jin: *quickly sits up* "I thought I left last night…."

Xiao: *stands up with a light red face* "Uh…I think we both accidently fell asleep here while watching the movie….."

Jin: *quickly gets up from her bed.* "Sorry to startle you Xiao!" *bows*

Xiao: *runs over to him and makes him stand up* "No you don't have to bow, it's okay."

Jin: *clears throat* "Sorry."

Xiao: "I guess we stayed up pretty late, that may be why we both fell asleep here like this."

Jin: "Yeah, you're right." *scratches the back of his head nervously*

*His phone rings*

*mumbles* "I should've put this damn thing on silent." *takes out his phone and glares at it*

Xiao: "You should answer it."

Jin: *nods* "Okay then." *answers it* "Hello?"

Rikuto: "Hello Mr. Kazama, I have some documents that need approving."

Jin: "Okay, I'll be there soon."

Rikuto: "Yes sir!"

*They hang up*

Xiao: "Do you have to go back?"

Jin: "Yeah…"

Xiao: *disappointment spreads across her face* "Oh okay."

*After he gathers his keys and jacket, she walks him to the front door.*

Jin: *turns around and places a hand on her cheek* "Let's go on a date tomorrow."

Xiao: "A date?" *her expression suddenly brightens up*

Jin: *nods* "I'll see you tomorrow then at 11am?"

Xiao: "Okay." *smiles*

*After showing her his prince-like smile, he embraces her and kisses the top of her head*

Jin: "See you tomorrow then cutie." *waves goodbye as he walks towards his car*
