"Auggg…" Xiaoyu groaned as she smacked her alarm clock off. Sure, Chinese school was a lot worse then Japanese, but she didn't enjoy getting up for any school, any where. The petite Chinese girl stretched her short arms, yawning loudly. "It's Saturday.. Uh, right? So only a half day, I can handle that." A grin spread across her face as the words repeated in her head "Yep, easy peasy!" Xiaoyu buttoned her school shirt, pull up her plaid skirt, then placed her tie around her neck, undone, she wasn't the best at tying them anyways.

Once downstairs Xiaoyu took a bite out of an anonymous piece of toast on the dinner table A lot has changed. In Tokyo, it's so crazy! Everyone is always busy and moving fast! And I've never practice so hard in my life with anyone other then these Mishimas.

" XIAOYU!" came a shout from the kitchen. Freezing on spot, Xiaoyu turned around slowly uh-oh.. "y-yes?" she gulped. A rather short and anger Japanese woman came stomping out of the kitchen. Facing all the Iron Fist competitors at once didn't scare Xiaoyu as much as this woman right in front of her.

"DO you even CARE about your appearance?" she yanked roughly at Xiao's tie. busted Xiao placed her best 'I forgot?' smile on her lips. it's werid having someone who does almost everything for you, sure, and getting lost in the house you stay at twice a week is annoying but.. She sighed you get use to it, Her breath was cut short by a sharp tug of her tie sooner or later.

The ride to school was quiet like all the other days how many more days now? Xiaoyu twisted part of her hair falling over her ties holding the pigtails she always wore. Six, six..wow it's so close! she smiled, she may act confident, but really, she was very self doubting. what if.. she shift her eyes to the company riding with her What if I have to fight Jin? Xiaoyu had spared with Jin a few times, but she knew he'd always gone easy on her, she was, after all, the youngest contender in the tournament. She closed her eyes tight maybe we won't have to, No, Don't be dumb Xiao. Xiaoyu shook her head violently, still..

Jin remained so transfixed on the world outside the car he didn't notice Xiaoyu mentally beating on herself. Like everyday, it seemed as if he was seeing the blurs of Tokyo for the first time, all the building and people. "uh, Jin?" Her voice hung in the sticky silence covered air.

"what?" was all he mustered up to say, his eyes still stuck on the outside window

"Are..are you scared?" Jin, finally turning to see her, look in here brown eyes "what are you talking about?"

Does he always answer in questions? she twiddled her thumbs. "I mean, about the tournament.. What if something goes wrong? What if someone gets hit to hard and-" she paused "and dies?" she whispered. Xiaoyu, was actually extremely worried she might die.

" Don't worry" his gaze went back to the window "it's going to hurt and you will get bruises, but no one will kill you." I'm so stupid!

" Ah, right, what was I thinking?" she tried to smile it off

"What happens though, if we have to face each other?" Xiaoyu, stop asking question! "will you go easy on me then?" It's going to be fun, just think about how great it will be. Jin turned his head to Xiaoyu. Her head was bowed and her hands in her lap. He really didn't have an answer for that question.
