Heihachi marched irritably through the double doors of the MPS and made his angry way to the principal's office. The first day! She couldn't even keep out of trouble on the first day of school! Heihachi wondered if taking the girl in had been a mistake. She was spirited, determined, intelligent, and most importantly she was strong. He had thought she might serve his purpose. But perhaps she was too spirited, too strong. Perhaps he should.no.
Heihachi shook his head. Either he trusted his judgment or he didn't. Heihachi was occasionally wrong and rarely surprised but he never misjudged character. Whatever had happened Heihachi was sure Xiaoyu had a good explanation for it. Still.
Heihachi entered the room with a thunderous expression on his face. Xiaoyu was sitting dismally on a chair before the principal's desk. She brightened a little when spotted him but wilted again when she caught sight of his expression.
The principal rose from his seat to greet Heihachi. "Welcome, Sir!" he simpered. "We are most distraught at having had to call you but this young lady's behavior has been quite unacceptable. We have delayed assigning her punishment in case you wanted to do so yourself."
Heihachi ignored the fool and walked over to Xiaoyu. She was quite dirty and much of her hair had escaped their pigtails but she appeared to be unharmed. He glanced at her critically. "What happened to your skirt?" he asked.
Xiaoyu looked down then blushed. Her skirt was quite short in the front. "Uhhh.long story."
He sat down next to her. "I'd like to hear it," he said.
Xiaoyu looked at him then and nodded.
Heihachi listened patiently as she related her story. As she spoke steadily, emphasizing periodically with waves of her hands, Heihachi's temperament slowly changed from irritated to furious. His face was calm, however, as Xiaoyu finished her story.
".And so I patched her up with my skirt." She gazed at him imploringly. "Please, Mister Heihachi, you've got to do something! The poor bear is miserable! She's so skinny, and she's dirty and mistreated and neglected. That nail had to have been there for a least a week! I doubt she gets fed but twice a week. Nobody washes her, no one plays with her, and the boys throw rocks at her! It terrible! Please-"
"Xiaoyu!" Heihachi interrupted. He sighed. "Aren't you forgetting something?"
She looked blank. "Like what?"
"Your punishment?" he reminded her.
She looked confused. "What about it? Detention, right?" her eyes widened. "Oh, Mister, your not thinking of suspending me, are you? Oh, please don't! I like it here, I'll-"
"Xiaoyu!" He rubbed his temple and sighed. "You're not getting suspended."
She looked relieved. "But what about Panda?"
Heihachi pondered. It was a serious problem. He had a certain fondness for bears but he didn't have time for another. He could arrange for it to be taken care of but they required a certain amount of affection to flourish. Who but him would know this? Heihachi shook his head in frustration and caught sight of the concerned Xiaoyu. An idea came to mind.
"Xiao.How did you know the panda was a girl?" he asked.
She blinked. "I.don't know. I just did."
"What if I told you there is a way to help the bear that would require your time and dedication?"
Xiaoyu didn't hesitate. "I'd do it in a flash!"
Heihachi nodded. "Please wait for me outside Xiaoyu. I need to speak with your principal."
Xiaoyu nodded mellowly and left the room. Heihachi turned his iron gaze upon the principal.
"I thought I told you to take care of that bear," he growled.
Xiaoyu closed the door quietly behind her. "Whew." Xiaoyu wasn't quite sure what had just happened but she had a feeling it was better than could have been expected. She spotted a couple of chairs and sat in one. Not long after the principal opened the door and made his dejected way out of the building sparing not a glance for Xiaoyu. A moment later Heihachi followed, phone in hand.
"Yes, make sure it's done. I will tolerate no mistakes this time. "He hung up and grinned ominously at Xiaoyu.
"We have things to do Xiao."
