Authors Notes: It's about time I got back to this fic. Another short chapter is out. I do try to make my chapters longer but oh well. At least this one is three pages long. :P And no, it isn't font twelve. :P
Here is another futile attempt at making the fic a teensy bit humorous… well, some people might find them funny but it's really up to the person's sense of humor. --;
Disclaimer: I don't own anything! Nada! Nothing! Wala! Zero! You get the point? :P
This chapter is dedicated to Baccus Cremaeus (hehehe, got the spelling right now! :D) as an apology for misspelling the 'Cremaeus' in the previous chapter and of course also for being one of my most faithful reviewer whose review always brighten up my day.

"Hey, hey, hey not so fast there. Why don't you sit down for a bit, you must be exhausted sweetie." That's it, no more acting nice.
"Please take that hand off me now or else you'll learn what pain is all about. I know fifty different ways to break it for you, you know."
"Kinky."
"ARGH!" The frustrated and angered Chinese pulled away, ran to get the net order and clenched her teeth as the man whistled at her as she left. Right now, Xiaoyu felt like killing something, but, miracle of miracles, she managed to keep her temper in check… at least for now.
"I want to eat tonight. So therefore, I will ignore the idiot in the corner who is looking at my…" All her thoughts of eating that night fled her mind.
.::o::..::o::..::o::..::o::..::o::..::o::..::o::..::o::..::o::..::o:..::o:.
"Alrighty buster. That is IT! Enough is enough! I've been humiliated enough! You;'ve had your fun and now let me have mine. You want to fight let's fight! I'll take you on outside anytime! I have had it with you!"
Suddenly, to everyones surprise, she pulled the ogling man from his seat with almost superhuman strength and lifted him off his chair by his collar, dragging him to the nearest wall possible.
"You want to go ogle at someone? Well sorry buster but you've chosen the wrong woman to ogle at and definitely the wrong woman to mess with! You want to ogle, go find yourself a girlfriend, some blind girl might be kind enough to be your girlfriend but until then, GET OUT OF HERE!!!" In the short span of time, Xiaoyu had the man pinned to the wall, her face extremely red, his face a couple of inches away from hers. It was dangerously close…
"Oh, you're one tough chick. You want to get closer huh? Well that's not a problem… get closer come on babe, I know you want to." Xiaoyu growled in frustration and tightened her grip on the mans short and fat neck. The man started choking; his eyes looked fearful. Xiaoyu looked ready to kill.
The owner of the establishment was about to say something to Xiaoyu and the commotion she had caused. He was just about ready to send her and Jin packing when the room had suddenly started cheering her on.
"Woohoo! You go girl!"
"Kick his butt!"
"Get him!"
"Toss that idiot outside on his butt waitress-san!" At the sound of all the shouting, people started flooding inside the restaurant to see what all the altercation was all about. Before the owner had realized, people were buying drinks almost faster than he could pour them and ordering food faster than a bullet. The demand was amazing, something he had never experienced before. A big smile grew on his face as he sat back and watched the show leaving the waiters and waitresses running around frantically taking orders and the cooks panicking due to the rush and amount of demand for food.
"Xia-Xiaoyu-san…" A squeek from the corner of the room…
"DO NOT CALL ME XIAOYU-SAN!!!" After throwing the ogling man out of the door, she then rounded on the poor Jin, standing innocently only a few feet away from her, who looked just about ready to bolt out of her sight.
"YEAH! Kick the smileys ass too!"
"Show him what you've got!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
The crowd had started cheering her on again, this time though, they were cheering her to fight with Jin. There were so very few fights in town. But a fight that was started by a young skinny girl was definitely one of the firsts.
"Xiao! I meant Xiao!" The poor boy backed off preparing to block a barrage of items. And to think that they were in a restaurant… knives… forks… not a safe place. The Chinese fire starter had started advancing on him.
"Xiao, I don't think you should have done that. That guy… I'm sure he'll be back but this time, I'm sure he's bringing his friends along. I know that's he's that type of guy. He'll be bringing more trouble in here in no time." The Chinese had stopped advancing on him and looked thoughtfully for a moment after which she smirked once again.
"Then I'll show them one of the fifty ways I can break pain! I've got deadly aim with these items over here." She pointed at the knives and forks on one customer's table.
"Err…" Jin looked panicked.
"Is that good enough? Does that sound good Jinny-chan?" Xiaoyu looked ready to kill once again, her eyes burning with fighting spirit.
"N-not particularly… not really… actually no." Before Xiaoyu could snap back at the cowering Jin, the crowd near the doorway moved to make way for a group of men that had just arrived at the scene.
"OI! Who in here was foolish enough to beat up our buddy?!" A gang of men holding long sharp knives, one of which looked like a sharp sword, was advancing towards them. The owner panicked and ran and hid behind the counter praying that after they beat the hell out of the foolish war freak girl and her smiling bullied idiotic friend they would leave his establishment in peace without causing any damage to the furniture and the restaurants structure. Jin, on the other hand, was praying hard that for once Xiaoyu would keep her incredibly noisy mouth shut and save everyone the from the trouble that was only seconds from brewing.
"I beat him up! Well actually it was just a bit of throwing around. Tch, only wimps call that beating up. But yeah I did! You got something to say about it? You have a problem with me kicking his ass for ogling?!" Jin shrugged as she had, for the nth time, caused trouble again. This is not good. This is definitely not good.
The group of men studied her from head to toe taking note of her thin and small frame. After a few seconds, they cried their eyes out from laughing.
"He must have been drunk to have been beaten by such a tiny girl! What are you 10 or 12? Come here little missy and do what we say, maybe we'll let you and everyone here live… that is if you're good enough." They all started laughing again. The speaker, laughing out loud, seemed totally unaware that the '10 or 12 year old' Chinese girl was about to nail him to the wall with one of the restaurants knives. Jin had both his hands full trying to hold her back from killing the group of men.
"Bugger off Jinny-chan!" Xiaoyus eyes were now red with anger.
"I would run." He advised to the group of men still laughing out loud like crazy. The men glanced for one last time at each other, finishing all the laughter they had left, before closing in on the pair.
How come nobody ever listens to him? Jin doesn't know. He sighed and slowly released Xiaoyu, pushing her behind him and getting ready to fight the men off. The group of men, slightly getting tensed, watched Jins face as he cracked his knuckles and finally looked back at them smiling.
"Hmm… are you sure you don't want to reconsider?" Jin asked the group again. His voice was soft and almost child-like but none could miss the deadly tone in it. The girl behind him gulped audibly.
"J-Jinny-chan, we don't really need to go that far. Just… just let me take care of them. I could manage this Jinny-chan. The worst I would do is rough them up a little, I promise." Jin just shook his head.
"I think that even you might have a bit of trouble with this many Xiao. Not that skill matters or anything, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to beat these thugs up in minute if they were only fewer. Numbers, however, do matter." She gave the men surrounding them a glance, silently counting them in her head then shrugged.
"You're getting pretty arrogant here boy. Who do you think you are? We'll beat you up in a second. You're asking us if we want to reconsider? Maybe it's you who should be thinking about reconsidering. We're 9 men and you have yourself and a little kid. Maybe you should be thinking of running right now."
"I know. Nine against two, it hardly seems fair to you guys." The men had enough and they quickly advanced on the two. Xiaoyu caught a glimpse of Jin slightly smiling before going in for the kill. The men hardly seemed to have taken any steps at all before they were all lying sprawled on the ground.
Silence.
"Ji-Jinny-chan… they're not…"
"Dead? Hardly. I made sure not to hit them with my full strength." They were both suddenly aware of the crickets chirping. The room was deadly silent.
"Ano… Innkeeper-san? Could we just umm… leave right now? We'll just take whatever we earned so far right now." Xiaoyu grabbed a pouch from the startled man and pulled Jin out of the restaurant banging the door after them.
After quite sometime of running behind Xiaoyu, Jin took control and picked her up neatly. At this, she let out a startled squawk but after awhile, it was all she could do to keep hold of their earnings. Air rushed around her as the school bully, rebel, mystery man or whatever more his titles were, carried her at a speed she never knew he was capable of.
Finally they came to a stop, after awhile, right outside the town. Jin then dropped Xiaoyu, the startled expression still etched on her face.
"Is that better Xiao?" She gave him her killer glare and rubbed her sore behind.
"Mou! You're just so… so…"
Silence.
It was all that she could get out. She couldn't say anything anymore, well, not with the amused expression plastered on his face.
"Bah! It's no use. No one can be angry at someone who smiles so damn much! It's really not fair Jinny-chan!"
The boy just smiled, but wait. Was that a flicker at the edge of his smile?! Nah… couldn't happen. She must have just imagined it.
"We should get going again Xiao." Jin said breaking the silence.
"We're not quite far enough from the restaurant yet. I just wanted you to have a break and rest for a bit."
The young Chinese lady barely had time to register what he had just said when, once again, she was swept of her feet.
Tsuzukeru…
