Answer to Kayochen: Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad I did get some criticism coz my story must've had at least a few flaws. Oh well, thanks for letting me know and I'll try to make them better……..if I can :P
If anyones interested, disclaimers on chapter 1. Ok, now to get on with the story.
Chapter 4: A decision has been made
A techno alarm ring disrupts the silence in Xiaoyu's bedroom. After a few rings, Xiaoyu lets out an annoyed groan and attempts to block out the rings by putting the pillow over her head. The alarm rings still somehow seeps through. Xiaoyu slammed her fist over the top of it, attempting to cease its cries. The alarm relentlessly continues. Having just about enough of this, she grabbed the alarm clock with both hands, yanked out the cord and hurled it towards the other side of the room. The alarm clock crashed into the wall and the alarm stopped abruptly.
Xiaoyu, now sitting up on her bed with rage crossed with tiredness painted on her face, reluctantly stepped out of the warmth and cosiness of her bed into the sharp chill of the morning air. I have to get an alarm clock, which isn't that annoying, Xiaoyu thought as she let out a giant yawn. She patted Panda, who was sleeping beside her bed, on her head. "Rise and shine Panda." Xiaoyu said in attempted cheerfulness, unable to hide her drowsiness. Panda let out a soft groan and then got on all fours, seeming awake already.
Xiaoyu, in her pink panda pyjamas, walked toward the door like a half-witted zombie and threw open the door. She walked towards the sink of the kitchen and splashed some water on her face, feeling a little more awake from that. She went back into her room, grabbed her uniform and headed for the bathroom. After ten minutes, she emerged from the bathroom in her Mishima High School uniform: a black and white sailor style top with a big blue bow, pinstriped skirt and knee high socks.
Xiaoyu instantly went to the kitchen and got out a cup of two-minute noodles (you all kno how to make 2 minute noodles right?). When she knew it was ready, she took the bowl and started gobbling down the noodles, occasionally looking at her watch. She managed to finish half and just gave the other half to Panda, who was sitting near Xiaoyu's chair, waiting for the noodles. Xiaoyu then stood up, got her bag, which was on the couch, put her shoes on and stood by the door. "Are you ready Panda?" Xiaoyu called. Panda nodded enthusiastically and was immediately by Xiaoyu's side.
After 10 minutes, Xiaoyu was on the street, walking to school with Panda. A lot of people do give her strange looks while she's walking down the street but she doesn't really mind and neither does Panda. When Xiaoyu reached the school, a student with auburn hair came sprinting towards her. "Oh my god! You're alive!" Miharu exclaimed as she reached Xiaoyu and Panda. Just as she said that, she looked around. Everyone around the school grounds was staring at her. "Just…. rehearsing a play." Miharu said, that being the worst cover up in the book. Xiaoyu tried to keep in her laughter as her friend was going red from all the embarrassment. Miharu smiled weakly.Everyone seemed to have bought it and continued what they were originally doing. Xiaoyu instantly burst out laughing. "Oh boy! You should've seen the look on your face when they were all staring at you! And that lame as cover up! I wish I had a camera." Xiaoyu said in between laughs. "Xiao! I was worried sick about you. What happened?" Miharu said, feeling a combination of anger and relief.
"Yoshimitsu came in and saved my ass." Xiaoyu said simply. "Yoshimitsu? As in, the creepy guy from the tournament?" Miharu asked. "The one and only." Xiaoyu said. "What actually happened?" Miharu said, seeming very interested in this whole ordeal. "I'll tell you afterwards. Right now, I should put Panda with the others before school starts." Xiaoyu said, immediately heading towards the school building with Panda and Miharu right behind her.
School has started. Miharu and Xiaoyu had physics 1st period. Professor Zhang, a famous scientist, had come in to give a lecture on quantum physics. There were rumours that he was planning to make a time machine but he just needed the money to do so. When Xiaoyu had heard this, she wanted to speak to him herself. Xiaoyu recalled herself saying, "I wish I could turn back time…" when she had heard the news of Heihachi's abrupt end.
When the dismissal bell rang, Xiaoyu immediately made her way towards him. He was an old man that did seem smart and wise, much like her grandfather, Wang Jinrei. He was bald but had a very long beard of white. He wore small circular specks, a long white lab coat, white pants and brown polished shoes. "Hello there professor." Xiaoyu started, gaining the professor's attention as he was packing things away. "Hello." Professor Zhang replied.
"I've heard rumours that you might be able to make a time machine if you had the money. Are they correct?" Xiaoyu said, being as formal as she could possibly be. "Yes. You have heard right. I can make a time machine but I need the proper funding." Zhang said in his elderly voice. "I'm pretty sure I can get you that money, under one condition," Xiaoyu said, holding up one index finger. "When you finish making that time machine, I'll be the first to use it. Deal?" Xiaoyu held out a hand.
Zhang was thinking over this opportunity. In the end, he smiled and took her hand. "Deal." They shook, sealing the deal. "How exactly are you going to get that kind of money?" The professor asked. "I've received an invitation to participate in the King of Iron Fist tournament 5. If I win, I'll have more than enough to fund your project." Xiaoyu said, retaining her excitement to remain formal. "The chances of that are unlikely. I've seen how brutal those fighters can be. Are you sure you should even compete?" Zhang said sounding a little concerned. "Don't you worry about that, professor. I'll just train hard and the other fighters won't know what hit them!" Xiaoyu said, pumping a fist into the air, then realising a second late that she had completely blown her formal image.
Xiaoyu glanced at her watch and shrieked. "Argh! I am so late for class! Is there any way I can get a hold of you when I get the money?" Xiaoyu said very quickly, realising that her math teacher'll definitely yell at her. The professor handed her a piece of paper. Xiaoyu snatched it out of her hands, waved at him and sped out of the door, sprinting like she's never sprinted before…even thought she knew it wouldn't do much good.
A/N: Woah…….I have just noticed how much I repeat words. Sorry, jus cant help it….its bcome a habit! Argh! I'll try and change my ways. This chappies a bit longer coz I wanted u to know my version of Xiao's typical day before school. Hope u liked the humour I've added and I hope it wasn't dry or anything. The bit where Xiao hears bout Heihachi's death was actually spose to be part of the story, not something she remembers doing but I totally forgot about that and remembered it half way thru this chappie! I cudnt be bothered typing it in…..hope that wasn't a big mistake :S
