Chapter 4- We're friends!

"So… I finally got to have a decent chat with that 'mystery person'. Since that day it seemed nothing could separate us, Jin on the other hand wasn't so moody as ever, hmmmm didn't suspect anything though about his identity... oh! How could I have been so foolish!… I still remember that day when Heihachi asked us to spar together… The Mishima style of karate is truly something to marvel at. It combines a series of strong, swift punches... the only thing that kept me alive on that day was my agility…"

Xiaoyu's memory… September 17th 2000

"Whew! Good thing today's a holiday, isn't it, Panda?" asked Xiao. She and Panda were taking a peaceful stroll into the garden. "Grrrrr…." Panda growled in approval. "Hmmm…maybe we should go practice, huh? The tournament's just a few days away…Oooh! I can't wait! I'm gonna kick ass!"

"Ah! Xiaoyu! Good morning! Surprising to see you so early in the morning, judging on how you struggle to get up on school days…" it was Heihachi's voice.

Xiaoyu felt a deep crimson blush creep on to her face as he said this. "Well… heh, my alarm was broken and…" she was cutoff.

"Yes, yes, Jin told me about that… I should sue that company…" he said.

"No! No! Don't do that! Actually, I just wanted to ask you where the dojo is…" she quickly changed the topic.

"What a coincidence! I was going to check up on that grandson of mine… come along then…"

The dojo was in a very secluded place, surrounded by greenery, nothing could be heard except the sound of birds happily twittering. Xiao was in awe as she just stood and took in everything. "Ah yes… Jin prefers it this way. Has always been a nature lover since he was a child…" came Heihachi's booming voice. "Here we are!" saying this he opened the dojo door and led Xiao inside.

--- Hmmm... where've I heard that before?--- thought Xiao.

There he was, in the very middle of the dojo sweating profusely due to the hardcore training he had been doing. Shirtless, with only a pant with a red flame outlined with gold crept up onto one of his legs.

"Wow…"said Xiao. "Panda why don't you wait outside? Ok?"

"What was that Xiaoyu? Anyway… Jin, I'd like to introduce you to your new sparring partner… Xiaoyu! Come on then! Let's begin shall we?" said Heihachi.

Jin immediately ceased punching the poor, distorted Mokujin and held his head up to face his opponent.

"Uh… Heihachi… don't you think we should spar by ourselves?" asked Xiao her voice a little shaky.

"Nonsense! I want to see how much you both have improved!" boomed Heihachi.

Xiao timidly walked up in front "Okay…focus Xiao… focus… remember all those training sessions with Grandpa Wang. Ok… I can beat him…"

She stood in her stance, awaiting anything, and so did he. Jin immediately rushed at her but she did her Front Layout and jumped clean out of his way and tried to tackle him. Using her 'Crank up' move, she caught his leg and swung him over causing him to land on his back. Jin wasn't fazed however; he caught her by surprise by landing a deadly blow to her stomach. "Ooof!"she said. The pain was so intense like being pricked by a million needles. The strength of the move was so unnatural, it sent her rolling a few feet away and for a few seconds she lay there.

Her stance was a bit shaky now, this time she executed her Fortune cookie movie, but Jin saw it coming and blocked it including the deadly Storming Flower move which came at the end. So he decided to do a little combo of his own. Thus, he executed his laser cannon move. Xiao managed to block the first two and she finally cart wheeled out of the way. She moved into her Phoenix Stance and did her double palm move. She was now exhausted… and she knew Jin could see it too. So he rushed at her and tackled her to the ground, pinning her to the ground. "Do you forfeit?" came Jin's voice.

Xiao was too dazed for anything so simply nodded.

"Excellent! A fine display of true martial arts! Now… go get your self's cleaned up, Jin, please assist Xiaoyu." Said a pleased Heihachi, and then he left the dojo leaving the both of them alone.

Meanwhile Xiao really did have a bit if difficulty getting up, thankfully Jin was there to help her up. "Are you okay? Sorry I had to rough you up back there…" said Jin his eyesand voicefull of concern.

"N-no…it's okay… I'm just a bit woozy from what happened" said Xiao, a blush slowly creeping onto her face at how close their lips were from contact. "But didja have ta punch so hard? What was that move anyway?"

"Oh, that was my Demon slayer move" said Jin.

"Wow! In that case you should be on Buffy the vampire slayer shows then!" she said laughing at what she said.

"Maybe… but for now we need to tend to that nasty bruise, over there. Come on… I'll help you up." His voice was very gentle now, not the cold one Xiao had heard two days ago.

"Thanks… you seem a little nicer today, not like the other day…" she said.

"Sorry about that too. Guess I was in a bad mood. Truce?"

"Hmmmm…… I dunno…" she said giggling.

"Oh come on…" said Jin a little annoyed at her childish behavior, but then again, it suited her, along with those cute pig tails.

"Ok! Truce!" she said happily. "Now come on! We better get back to the house or Heihachi will throw a fit if we aren't there!"
