Kotou: Ok peeps! I'm back for more! I didn't think I'd update so soon, but oh well, who cares. I hope that people read this. It's not as good as my other fic, but still, it's the morality of the thing!!! Ok, enough babbling.
Ling was in her room writing down things in a little journal. She smiled as she thought about everything that was happening. She had someone special that she cared for deeply. She sat up on her bed and looked at the picture across from her. The phone rang and she answered it.
"Hello?" She asked. It was Hiro. A bold smile crept up on her face. "Oh, hi Hiro!" She said in a perky voice.
"Uh, Xiao, do you want to come over?" He stuttered. She chuckled at his nervous voice.
"Well, it is kinda late..."
"Oh, is it a bad time?" He asked. She smiled and looked at her watch.
"No Hiro. It's ok; I'll be there. Is something wrong?" She asked a little bit concerned.
"No. Everything is fine. I just want to see you." He said sweetly. She giggled and agreed.
"Ok. Be ready at the door, I'll be there in a few." She said.
"Ok." She hung up the phone and fell back on her bed. She wrote a few more things in her journal and smiled.
"Oh Hiro, you're something else." She closed the book and went to get changed.

Julia was sitting next to Mike on the couch in his living room. She held his hand in hers and looked lovingly into his eyes. He caressed her fingers and brought his lips closer to hers. She closed her eyes and embraced the kiss. She loved his kisses because it made her feel loved; even though she wasn't completely sure that she was in love with him. She pulled away and laid her head on his shoulder.
"So, you know what's coming up soon?" She asked. He smiled and said,
"Valentines Day, isn't it?"
"Yeah, so did you get me anything?" He wrapped his arms around her stroking her soft brown hair.
"Perhaps." She looked up at him wondering what that meant. "I might have the best gift in the world for you." She smiled and laid her hand on his cheek.
"I have got something for you. I hope that you'll like it." He still stroked her cheek looking deep into her eyes.
"If it's from you, I know I'll love it." She smiled and hugged him close.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Jin was walking alone on the empty night streets. Xiaoyu was walking and happened to see him alone. She decided to playfully tug on his shirt. Jin looked back and saw the young girl look at him and smile.
"Hey Jin! Why the long face?" She asked. He shook his head and walked away. She felt crushed that he didn't want to talk to her. "Jin!" She called. She wanted to go after him and find out what was bugging him. "Jin, tell me what's wrong?" She asked. He didn't turn around to look at her.
"Don't you have a boyfriend to go to?" He asked coldly. He still began to walk away, but she wouldn't let him leave her.
"Well, yeah. But..." He stopped. He could hear the sadness in her voice. Slowly, he turned around to look at her. He waited impatiently for an answer.
"But?"
"But why are you alone? I thought you had a girlfriend to go home to." She was concerned for his loneliness. "No one should ever be alone." She said holding on to his arm. Jin had processed everything that she had said to him. Why was he alone? Did he really feel alone and needed company.
"No. I'm fine." He said.
"But Jin, your girlfriend must be worried about you." She said. "Why don't we walk to her house and you two can spend some time together." Jin shook his head.
"I'm sorry."
"Why?" She looked up at him sweetly.
"I don't have a girlfriend." She frowned and backed away.
"Oh. I see. I don't understand why, you are a very handsome young man." She smiled at him trying to cheer him up. He didn't smile back, but he let those words sink in. "Hey! Why don't I fix you up with..."
"No." Jin said sternly. "I don't have a girlfriend because I don't need one. I'm fine by myself." She frowned and looked down at the ground. She let go of his arm and slowly walked the other way.
"You should learn to love. And also allow others to love you back Jin." She waved goodbye and went to Hiro's house. Jin walked to a small park and sat on the lonely bench.
"Why should I love anyone? The only person I loved was my mother, and now she's gone." Hworang saw Jin sitting on the bench at the park. He went over to sit by him and stared out across the horizon.
"What's up Kazama?" He asked. Jin didn't say anything. "Ah yes, the silent treatment. I know it all too well." Jin slowly lifted his head to look at Hworang.
"I was just thinking, that's all." Hworang looked at Jin and smiled.
"Yeah, me too. I just can't get Jules off of my mind. She's so beautiful and perfect. I wish that she could see the same from me, ya know?" Jin cracked a small smile. "Being in her presence is like the world has stopped, just for the two of us. Have you ever felt that way?" Jin stopped smiling. He wasn't sure what he had felt, and whom he had felt it for. Then he thought about what Xiaoyu had told him. He had to learn to love and receive love.
"I'm not sure." He answered. "I thought that I was doing fine by living the way I do, but maybe I'm wrong." Hworang knew what he was talking about.
"Yeah, I hear ya!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ling was sitting next to Hiro. She couldn't concentrate. All she could think about was how lonely Jin was and how much she wishes she could help.
"Hiro." He looked over at her and smiled, wrapping his arms around her.
"Yeah Xiao?"
"I'm worried about Jin." She said as she looked out the window. "He's alone out there and he has no one to take care of him." He leaned her closer to him.
"He'll be ok. He knows how to survive."
"This isn't a surviving kind of matter." She said. "This is about his feelings. He's so alone inside, I just wish that I could find someone who cares for him as much as I care for you." She laid her back on Hiro and looked at the bright moon.
"I care about you too. I would never want to hurt you, and I will always be there for you." She knew that was a promise that he would keep, but still, she couldn't help worrying about Jin. Hiro lift her chin up to him and prepared to kiss her. Xiaoyu pushed herself away. "What's wrong?" He asked annoyed. She shook her head.
"I don't feel like kissing, that's all." She said barely with a whisper.
"But you say that every time I try to kiss you." She put her hand on his cheek and tried to smile at him.
"I know, but it's not right. I don't want to kiss you until I'm absolutely sure that that's what I want." He gave her a strange look, trying to comprehend what she was saying.
"You confuse me. It's just a kiss." He said. She removed herself from him entirely.
"It's not just a kiss. Can't you just wait?" She asked.
"God Xiaoyu, it's not like I'm asking you to have sex with me!!" She backed away at his words and held the doorknob.
"I know. But I don't believe that I should kiss you until I felt that..." She stopped. She didn't want to go on, or else she might say something that would end her entire relation. "I'm sorry Hiro. I'll see you tomorrow ok?" She opened the door and left.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Julia walked back from Mike's house and saw Hworang and Jin. She snuck over to the two and surprised them.
"Hey!" She called. Hworang heard her sweet voice and quickly turned his gaze towards her.
"Jules!" He shouted. He walked up to her and hugged her.
"God Hworang, you act like you haven't seen me for years." She laughed. Xiaoyu had seen the three of them and decided to join.
"You guys having a party and didn't invite me?" She asked playfully. She looked at Jin who was staring at her strangely. He looked at her like he never had before. She smiled shyly and looked at Julia. "Hey, what are you doing here?" Hworang let go of her to give her air.
"I just came from Mike's house when I saw them sitting alone. I just said hi and Hworang tackled me with a hug." Xiaoyu laughed looking at Hworang's red face.
"Sorry, I don't know what came over me!" He scratched the back of his head looking at Julia.
"What about you Xiaoyu?" Julia asked. Ling tilted her body side to side deciding weather or not she was going to say.
"I went to visit Hiro, but he was acting kind of weird. He wanted to kiss me, but when I said no, he got mad." Julia, Hworang and Jin looked at her oddly.
"You told him no!?" She asked.
"Well, I want my first kiss to be special. Come this Valentines Day, It will be our five-month anniversary! That's when I will give him my kiss." She said with a smile.
"Five months and you guys still haven't kissed? God! If it were me, kissing would be a daily routine." Hworang said eyeing Julia. Julia blushed looking back at Hworang. Jin felt something in his heart. It was a painful feeling he couldn't explain. He saw her expression every time she mentioned Hiro. He was beginning to feel jealous that Hiro had something he didn't.
"It's getting late guys, I've got to go home." Julia said walking out of the park.
"Wait!" Called Hworang. "Let me come with." She smiled and waited up for him. Hworang smiled at her and took her hand. Julia began to blush fiercely, but in the night, it was hard to see. Jin and Xiaoyu looked at the two walk off together. They sat together on the bench, simply staring out into the sky. Jin looked at the dreamily girl and smiled.
"Ya know Jules, he needs someone like her to be with." Hworang said looking at Jin's happy expression. "It's been a while since he has smiled like that." Julia watched, but did not agree.
"No. Xiaoyu is happy with Hiro. It would be wrong to take Hiro away from her." Hworang looked disappointed.
"But Jin has NEVER fallen in love. This would be his first chance to experience something like it. It would be wrong to take her away from him, don't you think?" She thought about that for a while. Why did Hworang care so much, or was he comparing himself to Jin?
"I guess so." She breathed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Xiaoyu rose up, but Jin grabbed her hand.
"What's wrong Jin?" She asked.
"Don't leave. Just stay here a little bit longer with me." He said pulling her down. Xiaoyu smiled, sitting next to him, closer than she had before.
"See?" Said Hworang. Julia nodded her head. Jin was always alone, but tonight, he got a small taste of happiness.
"Ok Hworang, now let's go home." She said bringing him towards the street.
Kotou: Ok! That was the second chapter. I can see if this is getting boring for some of you, but oh well. I don't know how much longer it's going to be, not much I presume. It's just something short and sweet ya know? I need some better ideas, yeah, yeah! But I know the main stuff, like the main surprises, the outcome, yada, yada, yada, if any of you have suggestions, feel free to post them or email me at
