It's Just a High School Crush - Chapter 2: The Dream
font{ font-family: Verdana; font-size: 8pt; }
A/N: Hi, all of you Tekken fans! I still haven't decided which pairing this fic will be-- Jin/Xiaoyu or Jin/Julia-- but I think I'll try J/J since I haven't seen too many of those around. I'd still like to hear about what you think, so please review anyway. If I do make this a J/J fic, please don't flame. Flaming can be so immature sometimes. Also, for the first chapter, I currently have an equal number of votes for each Tekken girl. I also got a review to throw in Hwoarang/Julia. That won't happen, I assure you (sorry!), since I'm not too fond of Hwoarang. (To tell you the truth, Hwoarang was my favorite character when I first played Tekken 3, but after I tried playing using Jin, he became my favorite character.) I hope you enjoy this chapter, and please review (J/X or J/J)!
Oh yes, each chapter I will have a Reviewer of the Chapter. This chapter's review is... (dum-dum-a-dum)... Hwoarang Girl! Thanks a lot! I know Hwoarang is your favorite character, and there is some bashing, but you didn't flame! Yay!
I am taking into consideration Tiger5913's suggestion: a Jin/Xiaoyu lemon. But don't worry, J/J fans, I'll just modify it to fit Julia and make a J/J lemon so J/X fans and J/J fans will be happy!
One more thing (I know, I know, I'm sorry): This story is now rated R for a scene in this chapter. Don't worry, it's not a lemon or anything, but I really don't want any kiddies reading this anyway.

It's Just a High School Crush
Chapter 2: "The Dream"
By Mirai Prince

Ding-dong.
Damn. That was the door. Jin Kazama rubbed his eyes and sleepily stood up from the armchair. He had been daydreaming and had fallen asleep. He'd forgotten that Xiaoyu was to come over. He glanced at the clock on the wall. 6:02 PM. He must've slept a long time.
Opening the door, he realized he must look great just about now.
Too late. Xiaoyu happily stood on his doorstep.
"Hiya! I'm here for... you know. Give it to me... now," she added sternly.
Jin scratched the back of his head. "Well, I... I haven't exactly finished using it yet... You see, I sorta feel asleep and--"
"I don't care if you had a heart attack!" said Xiaoyu, obviously not serious. "I want my homework."
Looking at him, Xiaoyu realized he probably he wasn't in the mood for this right now. His hair was a mess, his eyes were kind of bloodshot, and she could make out dark circles under his eyes. Sniffing, she asked him, "Are you okay?"
Jin frowned. Why was she sniffing him? "Actually, I--"
"You haven't been smoking weed or crack or anything like that, have you?" she said worriedly.
"No!" Jin sighed, exasperated. "No... I've just been tired lately. I'll be alright. Here's your homework." And with that, he simply took a paper off a nearby table and handed it to her.
He looked so innocent that Xiaoyu wanted to think he had done something to it. "This is it?" she said, scanning the paper.
Jin sighed again, this time in impatience. "Yes. That's it."
Xiaoyu looked up at him. "You sure you're okay?"
He nodded weakly. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'll take some Tylenol or something."
Reluctantly, Xiaoyu said, "Okay. Hope you feel better soon." She turned around and walked down the sidewalk as Jin quietly shut the door.
***
Laying down in bed, Jin stared at the ceiling. He sighed as he folded his hands behind his head. Why did he feel like this? His head was pounding and it hurt. He'd just taken a Tylenol, and decided rest would help. Tomorrow was Saturday, which meant no school. He could sleep all he wanted tonight.
Closing his eyes, he tried to go to sleep. The moment he shut them, Julia's face came to mind. He opened them. "Ugh... Stop this... I'm too tired for it..." Closing his eyes again, he could see Xiaoyu's face this time. He groaned aloud. "Why me?" he mumbled. He never thought he'd have a problem with girls. As long as they admired him and left him alone, he was fine. But the moment they came in contact with him... it was if his brain turned to Jell-O and his knees wobbled.
Except for one-- no, now it was two girls. Xiaoyu Ling was never a problem for him. Today, he had talked with Julia Chang and he could actually get words out. If he was so smooth with talking to these two girls, then... how come he had a queasy feeling in his stomach?
He turned his head and looked at his phone on his night stand. He could call Julia... but he wouldn't do something like that... would he? He wasn't the type of guy who was desperate for a girlfriend, but he was getting tired of being alone.
But what about Xiaoyu? Sweet little Xiaoyu. He thought of her as a sister, a friend. He was beginning to think otherwise. Lately she'd somehow grown up. Sure, she was still the annoying girl with pigtails, but she had a certain seriousness to her.
Rolling his eyes, he decided he should stop thinking about the two girls. He closed his eyes and successfully fell asleep without picturing Julia or Xiaoyu.
***
"Jin..." Julia breathed. He kissed her lips softly and moved them lower to her neck. "Jin, I--"
But her voice was cut off by Jin's lips pressing firmly against hers. She couldn't pretend any longer. She stopped protesting. Moving her lips against his, she found herself wanting more...
And he seemed to grant her wish. He kissed her neck, all the way down to her shoulders. She hugged him tightly, molding their two bodies together. They fit perfectly, like they were made for each other.
She placed a hand on his bare chest as he breathed heavily, kissing and nipping at the place where her neck and shoulders met. She couldn't believe this was happening... but she wasn't about to stop him as he kissed lower and lower down to her chest...
***
Julia sat straight up in bed. She was perspiring, and wiped her forehead. Did she really dream that? She had only met up with the guy once, and now she was dreaming about him and her?... Together?
She shook her head. She'd been watching too many TV shows and soap operas lately. Her eye caught a pile of "Glamour" magazines on her desk. Turning on her lamp, she got up and took the top magazine, getting back into bed again.
On the front cover were the words "The Best Ten Ways to Have Sex With the Man You Love." Julia sighed. This was just great. How could she dream something like that? How could she?
She was never a wild type of girl who hung around guys and constantly was flirting... she wasn't like that. But now, she just dreamt of... kissing-- with more things involved-- Jin Kazama! How bad can you get? Jin Kazama... the boy every girl in the school dreamed of loving!
Unfortunately, she knew, he wasn't much into flirting either. And she doubted whether he could be the perfect boyfriend. Judging from his actions around her, he seemed... shallow. There wasn't really a word she could use to define him. It was too bad. He was so good-looking, too.
***
Jin ran a hand through his hair. It was just a dream... a weird dream. He and Julia... they... He blushed just thinking about it. But how could he dream something like that? He wasn't in love with her anything... he didn't even think he had a crush on her. But the dream... Don't dreams mean something?
He shook his head. This particular dream couldn't have meant something. It was a dream... a figment of the imagination. Yet it bothered him. Could the dream be bringing Julia to his mind because he actually felt something for her? And he didn't even know it?
He couldn't let this get to his head. It didn't mean anything... or at least he hoped.
***
Xiaoyu frowned. Her digital clock said 2:31 AM. She still couldn't get to sleep. But why? She'd been thinking about a certain Japanese young man, and it was driving her crazy. It wasn't as if she was hopelessly head over heels in love with him... was she?
Getting a drink of cold water, she felt the water travel down into her stomach. She touched her forehead. She must be getting a fever... Maybe that's why she couldn't sleep. She was sick.
After seeing Jin in his current state, she couldn't help feeling bad for him. He looked terrible, and gave her the homework without a fight. This wasn't the proud Jin Kazama she knew. But feeling sick can do weird things to you... just like love.
Xiaoyu blinked. Love? Was it possible?... That Jin was in love?... That maybe, just maybe he was in love with her?
Her heart skipped a beat as she climbed back into bed. Maybe he did have feelings for her... But if he did, why did he act so strangely when he gave her the Trig homework? There were no signs of love or modesty that she saw.
She scolded herself. How could she think that Jin Kazama-- a boastful Mishima-- would be in love with her? Maybe it was because that was the way she felt about him. And she knew she couldn't deny it, either.

A/N: Yay! Second chapter is finished. I'd like to thank all the reviewers who've reviewed so far. You've been so nice. Also... if you can't tell from this chapter, I'm sort of planning a J/J. I'm still open to J/X though, so J/X fans, don't lose hope! I could turn this whole fic around if I wanted to. The chapters will usually be shorter than this, and will have more action in the future. Please Read and Review, and please don't flame. Thanks!
