>>Eeep! It's that Xiaoyin author again! I can't believe it, she has a story (Mako-chan can't believe it too!)! Run for your lives!!! -- Hahaha. It's good to be back. After such a long time I'll be able to face my PC monitor and not write a single word about a freakin report, rather, a fic to feed and spend my time...ain't that swell?!? Anyway, I hope you'll like this one, as you've liked the previous ones I did. I hope you bear with me, because I've not done writing in such a long while! Don't you think so too?! (Isn't it obvious, I bet you wanna throttle me)

*Disclaimer: Jin Kazama, Ling Xiaoyu, and other Tekken characters you'll come across this fic are all owned by Namco. Mishima Polytechnic School belongs to the Mishimas (duh -_-) and is also owned by Namco. I'm not gaining profit from this...*

PROLOGUE


"Seventy..."

"As you all know..."

"...seventy-one..."

"...before the end of the year, I give special projects..."

"Seventy-two..."

"Today, I've decided to be a little kinder to you. Well, since you've been all good students..."

"...that's seventy-three..."

"...I'll let you do it by pairs. And since this is a Social Science class, you'll write about people."

"...sev...sev...seventy...c'mon...seventy-four..."

"And those people are you and your partner."

"Seventy-five..."

"I want you to spend the whole day with them..."

"...seventy-six..."

"...whether you know them well or not, I want you to write a discovery..."

"Seventy-eight..."

"...a thought, a feeling about them, generally about people."

"..seventy-eight...no, no...seventy-nine"

"Pick whoever you want, and I want those papers in my desk in a week's time. That's it, class dismissed. You may go now."

"Ei--"

"Hey Jin," Xiaoyu said, as she leaned over and tipped her head in front of Jin.

The young man shook his head slightly, and looked at Ling Xiaoyu with a pair of confused brown eyes. "Wha-what?"

She bent her head a little and fixed her skirts. "I was wondering if," she started, "if we could work on the project together...that is..."

"Project?" Jin asked. "What project?" He repeated somewhat stupidly.

Xiaoyu's head shot up and was now confused as he. "Y'know, the Social Studies project! Weren't you even listening?"

Jin blinked twice.

"Oh...well, I guess that would mean you don't have someone to work with yet. Well, could we?" she asked again, now more straightforward.

"Uh, sure. What is it about, anyway?" he asked as he sat up straight in his seat.

"We have to write a paper about us. It's due in a week," Xiaoyu explained. "All we need to do is spend one whole day together and write some discovery about each other. Not necessarily your typical, 'She was blahblahblah' but something about people think...stuff like that."

Jin nodded his head (even though he really didn't know what the heck it really meant) and gave her an impersonal smile. "Oh, is that it? You'll have my half of the paper tomorrow...no, make that later in the evening."

"Jin," said Xiaoyu quietly.

He glanced at Xiaoyu and she glanced back. It was as if he told the worst joke in the world. "Did I say something wrong?"

"I wouldn't really put it as wrong," replied Xiaoyu with difficulty.

"What then? Xiaoyu, I'm so thankful you picked me. This is the easiest paper the both of us will have to do. We live in the same roof. We've been living in the same roof for months now...what is it that I could possibly not know about you?"

Xiaoyu gave the most courteous smile she could muster. What could you possibly not not know about me? She thought dejectedly. "Since that's considered done, I guess I'll see you later."

One wonders what on earth is Mako-chan cooking. If you want to know the what, why's and how's, reading on is very much encouraged. ;) ;) ;)
