Authors Nonsense: Don't say a thing. Here me out. See, I've got a story to tell. A few hours ago, as I was typing this, my computer went black. Completely black. It told me something about this error thing in the computer. Instinct led me to the restart button and when I did. I was just stunned. All my files were gone. Poof. Sayonara. I tried looking for the damage, but, not being computer literate, I really couldn't do much. I spent an hour fixing my computer again. My favorites list, saving my fan fictions again and all that stuff. Sadly after I had finished resaving all the files, I had to leave the computer for a while, so I shut it down. And, to my horror, when I turned it on, all the files weren't there again. Because of frustration, anger, depression, I just gave up on it and turned it off. After getting annoyed for 30 minutes, I found out that I could not resist the computer, I got back on and as I was browsing through the files left. Taaddaaa! This wonderful thing called 'system restore' decided to show itself. So yes. I got all my files back. That explains why I am late by a couple of hours.

Now that I have bored you with my battle with the computer, I shall reward your patience with a new chapter. :)

Disclaimer: I know, you know by now that I don't own this. This is just for fun. Heehee. :)

This chapter is dedicated to I'm-Just-a-teen! :D The newest reviewer! I thank you for your kind words and I am glad that you have now been introduced to the wonderful world that is Tekken… now… be obsessed… be one of us…

"I'm with him this time…" she whispered. Just as quickly as that very embarrassing thought crossed her mind, it exited.

"No way. NO WAY. No way. There is no way! We're just friends!" Meanwhile, as she thought about this new… thought, Robert chewed at his unrelenting bonds to no avail. Xiaoyu looked over at him, amused.

"You are just going to break your teeth. You wouldn't want Jinny-chan seeing you teeth less would you? Imagine how big of a turn off that would be. I actually thought you have a chance with him. Meh. Who am I kidding?" She smirked at him. He glared at her.

"You try being captured by a hyper, annoying, loud, violent, rough little Chinese girl! It's HUMILIATING!" Pow.

It was going to be a LONG journey. He was almost looking forward to meeting Jin Kazama.

Finding my way to you

Chapter 14: Noise next door.

By: Czee


...::xXx::..::xXx::..::xXx::..::xXx::..::xXx::..::xXx::..::xXx::..::xXx::..::xXx::..::xXx::…

"Xiaoyu-san?"

Flying stone.

Robert ducked as the flying stone pelted towards him. That had been careless of him. If he wanted to have his face, as flawless and perfect as it currently is by the time he reaches his soul mate or prince charming or one and only true love or whatever the hell he calls Jin, he would have to make sure that he would say and do the right things. All the time. And mind you, this was not an easy task. His master happens to be a person who makes the biggest things out of the smallest ones. His master stands about 5 inches shorter than he is, has a thin frame, and looks absolutely breakable and fragile. Oh, and lets not forget, his master is a girl. A short tempered, strong and violent Chinese girl. Yes. Just the thought of Ling Xiaoyu makes him shiver to the end of his roots.

"Manners Robby, manners." Robert frowned. Yeah, throwing stones at people is considered proper these days.

"Xiaoyu-sama, aren't we stopping for the night?! It's dark already!" Xiaoyu looked back at the frowning man. He was in no position to be telling her what to do. He was just a man, whom she had captured, to vent her angry feelings on.

"You know Robby, you'd be much more charming with a gag. Want one?" His expression answered for himself. Having been deprived from using his hands, he had learned to appreciate every single part of his body. Being deprived of talking would mean hell to him. He looked horrified.

"I thought so. No. We are not stopping. Jinny-chan could be anywhere by now. He's probably miles ahead and I know how fast he can go when he wants to. So just shut up or I make good on that gag." Robert fizzled in silence as he was dragged along.

The road was boring him. Nothing eventful had happened the past few days. His days of spying behind Jin and Xiaoyu had definitely been more fun. At least then, he was able to stare at his stunning prince, Kazama Jin. Now it was just him and the devil in the form of a Chinese girl. A few more minutes of nonstop walking, after he had almost fallen asleep…

"YES! Oh yeah baby! I got his trail! I am sure this is it! This is unmistakably his camp! WOOOOT! Hell yeah! I'm goood!" … he was painfully jerked awake.

"Wh-what? Jin? Where?" He quickly slapped his hand to his mouth to wipe off a trail of saliva that had fallen. Xiaoyu stared at him in disgust. Could he be more civilized?

"Sorry to burst your bubble Robby, but no, your prince is not here. I found his camp." She pointed triumphantly at the clearing to their right where a stack of wood could be found in the middle, then pointed to the path the single occupant of the camp had taken.

"The right. I'm sure he went there. Not the left." Robert sweatdropped. Where does she get all this poor logic?

"And that proves…?"

"Oh don't you know?! Sinister!"

"…"

"It's one of life's basics!"

"Ah."

"Oh and fine, more proof. I found a bit of his clothes. It probably got torn off somewhere. The quality of his clothes suck. It flakes everywhere!" Right. He was definitely not going to comment on this. His head was already the unfortunate recipient of too many blows. He suspected that when… if he got out of this predicament, he would surely have a concussion.

"Erm… Xiaoyu-sama? Ca-can I have something to eat? I'm famished." Xiaoyu rolled her eyes and tossed him a bit of the bread she was presently nibbling on. He gave her a flat look as it fell by his nose.

"What? Don't look at me. I'm not feeding you."

"Fine. You could just let me out of these preposterously tied ropes then."

"Hah. Yeah right. Don't even try pulling that one on me miste- er… miss er… whatever. You can consume it like that." He glared at her.

"This is so degrading…" he muttered as he took it into his mouth. Xiaoyu chuckled and continued on. After he finished the dubious meal, he tried to look up at her.

"How did you do that bit awhile ago? When I was telling you about how utterly dazzling the gentleman you were wandering with was? That drama and teary part? I swear, it looked so real." She glared at him.

"For your information, I happen to be very talented at acting. It's one of my skills." She stared at him and her eyes started to get teary once again. Robert sweatdropped. Honestly, this girl could never stop astonishing him.

"We're never going to get anywhere with you asking these kinds of questions." Xiaoyu said and prudently turned her back and focused once again on the road.

"We'd better keep going!" Robert groaned but he kept his comments to himself. They walked for quite a while and after what seemed like an hour or so, he heard Xiaoyu's fatigued voice proclaim,

"We're here."

"Where precisely is 'here'?"

"We're in the place we're stopping in for tonight." He looked up to see a reasonably good-looking tavern.

"Xia-Xiaoyu-sama, you're not going to take me in like this are you?!" She slowly turned to look at him while grinning evilly as she entertained the thoughts. Wretchedly, she had to dismiss them. It would be too suspicious.

"After much thought, I have decided that you're going to loosen your ropes. Extraordinarily enough, I trust you." Robert blinked. Blinked. And… blinked again. Was this for real?

"Ah-okay. Thanks." He wasn't going to tell her the apparent risks that she was getting into. No, this was his perfect chance. He could run away now… but not before doing a few things to his oh-so-kind-and-generous master.

"Just so you know though, I'm armed and you're not. I'm a wicked aim with my blades here. Make a break for it and my precious blades would go directly to the worst place." His eyes widened and Robert made a strangled sound. Xiaoyu flicked a blade up into the air and caught it as it came down.

"Shall we?"

..::o::..::o::..::o::..::o::..::o::..::o::..::o::..::o::..::o::..::o::..::o::..::o::..::o::..::o::..

Meanwhile…

Jin awoke to a loud screeching voice nearby and instantaneously sucked in his breath as his eyes shot wide open.

"GET IN THERE!"

"Never!"

"You get your sluggish ass in that room now!"

"No! I don't care what you say. It's immoral! I'm not sleeping in the same room! Just thinking about it makes me want to hurl… Me in a room with the worst possible person in the world. Just thinking of the things you could do to m-"

"You will not finish that sentence!"

"It's wrong! I won't do it!"

"Do you understand the position you are in?! You are my PRISONER DAMNIT!"

"I refuse."

Jin rubbed his eyes as he listened to the loud voices coming from outside. He was sure that he recognized one of them. He shivered as he thought of the person.

"You are going to do it. Whether you like it or not, you would get your butt in there now. Or else…"

"The room isn't done yet."

"Well, I say it is now. And I'm a damned dictator."

"…hai, hai."

What in the world was xiaoyu doing here? The idea stirred both frustrated and faintly pleased feelings. But the other voice… who was he? Had he heard correctly? Prisoner? He looked around and realized he was now sitting up his futon. Without a second thought, Jin scrambled to his feet and with frantic speed, tore open the door and ran to the room that had its door closing as he moved. Jin got there just as it had closed. He realized too that his silent instincts were still with him. He had not made a single sound.

Standing outside the room, he could feel the aura of both the people in it. Xiaoyu's aura was radiating from inside the room while the other person's aura, whom he could still not recognize, could only be felt slightly. He almost laughed out loud at the strangeness of it all. It was a strong aura, but it was no match for Xiaoyu's.

So… what in the world is he supposed to do now? Should he just knock on the door and say,

"Hey Xiaoyu! I heard you from my room at the other end and decided to pop by and say hi. I'm sorry I left you. How've you been?"

Saying that would unquestionably be a one way ticket to hell.

"Go to sleep you baka! We've got to wake up early tomorrow if we want to catch up with Jinny-chan!"

"Hai hai… baka tomboy." The last had been intentionally meant for only him to hear, sadly, it wasn't covered very well.

"What was that?!" Pow. Silence.

"Huh? Er… I guess I knocked him out. I don't know my full strength eh?" Jin stared at the door in horror. No. He definitely didn't want to invite that sort of thing. But… oh well. It is not in a Kazama to fall back. No risk, no gain. But still… it would hurt a lot.

Jin knocked uncertainly at the door. His heart was pounding so hard on his chest he thought it might get torn off any second now.

"Now what?! I was almost asleep!" He winced. Now he was probably in more trouble. Footsteps slowly made their way towards the door. Jin had to steady himself to keep from running. Having nerves of steel before a fight and standing up to an angry Xiaoyu were two different things. Two entirely different things. The first would not even amount to half the hell the second one was…

The door opened…

Tsuzukeru…

Authors Nonsense: Mwahaha! Aren't I a sweetie by leaving that cliffhanger? Heehee…. Forgive me. At least I made it longer ne? It's now 5 pages long. Originally I had planned to make it only 3 pages but no, I decided to be nice and continue on. At least it's something! :D I am so sorry for cutting their meeting! Heehee… they would be meeting in the next chapter anyway. That's not such a long wait. Bear with me please. :D

Important info: Someone asked what the meaning of '-san' '-sama' and '-chan' was. I realized I hadn't really explained it so here's the explanation. '-san' is used for respect. It's like saying, miss or mister. '-chan' is for a child or someone younger, something like that. (you could see now why Xiaoyu always gets angry when someone calls her that.) '-sama', the best one, actually means lord. Someone superior to you. :D
