Chapter 2: The Lost LocketIn the afternoon at Mishima High school, Xaioyu and company are in P.E. playing volleyball. Xaioyu was still thinking what just happened during lunch, she started zoning out when the ball came towards her.
"Xaio! Sora!"
"Ahhh!" Xaio ducked, the ball nearly missing. Her friends came up to her.
"Xaio-chan. Daijobu?"
"Hai." Xaio, now coming back to reality and fixing herself.
"Xaio it's not like you to be zoning out like that. Pay attention next time k?" Miharu saying this with her hands on her hip.
"Gomen." Everyone went back to their positions, the other team now preparing to serve the ball.
"Hai! Ich, Ni, San. Haijime!" The opposing girl then served the ball, Miharu ran towards the ball.
"Rika-san!" Miharu bumped the ball up into the air while Rika came underneath it.
"Xaio! Set!" Rika using two hands popped the ball up near the net setting Xaio for a spike.
"Yoooosssh!" Xaio leaped into the air and spiked the ball; the other team tried to block the ball but missed with the ball landing on their turf.
"Yeta!" Xaio and company leaped joyfully in celebration of their victory. After the game Xaio, Miharu, Yumi and Rika all sat down on the bleachers watching the rest of the class play.
"Kore." Miharu passed everyone a towel.
"Arigato." Xaio dabbed her neck and face wiping off the sweat.
"So Xaio. What were thinking about earlier?" Miharu now drinking from her water bottle. Xaio gave her a confused look.
"Yeah Xaio you were day dreaming earlier, it's not like you especially when we're playing." Yumi also wiping the sweat off of her.
"Honto?"
"Hai. Were you thinking about something? Or perhaps… someone?" Miharu then smiled at Xaio.
"Nani?" Xaio leaned back out of shocked while Yumi and Rika leaned forward.
"I knew it! You were thinking about Jin weren't you?" Miharu now teasing Xaio.
"Eh? No it's nothing like that!" She shook her head in denile.
"Ehhhhh! I still can't believe he held your hand and held you in his arms. If only I was that person who slipped." Says Rika in admiration hugging herself.
"I told you the only reason that happened was by accident!" Xaio now getting upset and standing up leaning over her friends.
"Yeah, yeah. We heard you. We're only teasing Xaio." Says Yumi waving her hand telling her to sit back down.
"Guddo. What's so special about Jin anyways?" After saying this, her friends fell silent not believing what she just said.
"He's only just one of the most popular and hottest guy here! Look at his body!" Explained Rika.
"Yeah. He's also stinking rich."
"Nande?" Asked Xaio.
"He's the grandson and heir of Heihachi Mishima of the Mishima Zaibatsu." Says Miharu now getting Xaio's attention.
"But then shouldn't his last name be Mishima instead of Kazama?" Xaio becoming confused.
"I don't know. Maybe that's his mother's last name? I'm not sure." Xaio looking down thinking and at that moment she sees something at the bottom of the bleachers. It's a necklace. She bent down and picked it up looking at it.
"What's that?" The rest of the girls looked at what Xaio picked up.
"It's a locket but who is it?" She looked at the locket looking for a name somewhere when she saw letterings engraved into the golden locket displaying "JIN KAZAMA." Seeing this Xaio got up surprised.
"Whom does it belong to?" Miharu asked curiously.
"Koko…This locket is Jin's!" With that all of them stood up.
"Really? What are you gonna do with it?" Yumi now getting all excited waiting for her response.
"What else? I'm gonna give it back to him of course."
"Ehhhh! You're just gonna use that as an excuse to walk and talk with him aren't you?" Miharu nudging Xaio with her elbow.
"Kotoni. Hehehe." Xaio giggled and gave a peace sign smiling.
Inside the locker room Jin looks frantically for something he lost. He slams his locker and punches his locker denting it pretty bad.
"Shimatta…It's not here either. Where'd I put it? I shouldn't have taken it off! That was a memento from my mother. How could I have LOST IT?" Jin punched the locker again smashing it in almost knocking the entire locker down.
Flashback"Jin-kun!" A small boy was playing outside came running in to his mother.
"Hai Okaasan?" It was Jin when he was eight years old running towards his mother Jun Kazama, a beautiful young fighter.
"Jin-kun…kore." She bent down and placed a locket around his neck. Jin opened the locket to see both his mother and father Kazyua Mishima together smiling.
"Your father gave this to me a week before he left." Jun hugged and held Jin tightly and then lets go.
"Tousan…?"
"That's right, now you can keep the both of us close to your heart where ever you go." Jun bent down and kissed Jin on the forehead as the little Jin smiled and giggled.
End of Flashback"I have to find that no matter what." The Bell rang and one of the butlers from the Mishima Mansion came in and bowed.
"Mr. Kazama sir. The car is waiting for you in the front gates of the school." Jin got his composure together again and waved him off.
"I think I'll walk back this time. I have a lot of things on my mind, it'll be a good chance to sort some things out."
"As you wish sire." The butler bowed again and left. Jin made his way out of the courtyard of the school, a nice cool breeze was blowing and the leaves were falling from the trees showing signs of fall.
"It's almost autumn. There's a nice breeze blowing." He lifts his head up listening to the sound of the wind blowing through the trees and the birds chirping in the scenery. He begins his walk home.
Back at the school Miharu runs to catch up with Xaio.
"So Xiao. You gonna wait for Jin to come out to give it to him?" Miharu asked while the two of them walk.
"Yup! That's the plan." Miharu than went in front of Xaio walking backwards with her hands behind her back.
"So you gonna walk with him home than. I'll give you credit on that, using the locket as an excuse to walk home with him."
"No I'm just gonna give it back to him that's all. But I wouldn't mind walking home with him but just as friends nothing more." Xaio slightly blushing now.
"Well sorry to get your hopes up but Jin usually gets picked up from his butler right after school, he doesn't walk home." It was Yumi. She was sitting down with Rika and Yoko.
"HONTO?" Xaio now shocked of losing her chance of talking to Jin.
"Yeah they usually pick him up in the front gates. But you might be in luck. His car is still there." Yoko pointed over to the front gates where a M6 BMW model stood still parked (A black luxury European car).
"Arigato Yoko-san." Xaio and Miharu both ran to the car just in time to catch the butler before he started the car.
"Sumimasen. Ano…Is Jin-chan inside? We're classmates of his." The butler got out of the car and bowed politely.
"Gomendasai. But Jin-sama is not here at the moment. He requested to walk home instead. Is everything alright misses?"
"No. Arigato." Xaio and Miharu both ran off. They later stopped and started walking.
"Well I guess I'll give it to him tomorrow at school." Xaio sighed out of disappointment. They walked past Miharu's house where Miharu waved and Xaio headed to her apartment.
"It's getting dark, I better hurry on home too." She picked up the pace, she turned left into a back alley behind some housings.
"It should be quicker if I cut through here." Just then a group of guys came out behind a fence blocking her path.
"Sumimasen… but it looks like you strolled onto our turf miss." The leader of the gang had long spiked black hair wearing a leather jacket, jeans and black sunglasses.
"Gomen. I'll leave." She tried walking around but they went in front of her again blocking her once more.
"Just a minute. You didn't expect walking on our turf and not pay the toll fee did you? I would hate to see something bad happen to such a pretty and young schoolgirl such as yourself. Now how about doing yourself a favor and pay the toll?" He held out his hand expecting to receive some cash.
"Dimo. I don't have any money; I used it for school today. But if you let me go home I can…" The gang leader cuts her off.
"Tsk..tsk..tsk.. It's a shame. I hate to do this but rules are rules." Right then a guy snuck up behind her and twisted her arm behind her back.
"Get your hands off of me!" At that moment she lifted her right leg up in front of her and kicked him in the face. He immediately lets her go and staggered back, she took this chance and swung her right leg backwards hitting the gang banger in the chin sending him into the air and onto the floor.
"Baka! Don't mess with me or else."
"Well, well, well…it seems that Tinkerbell here knows a bit of martial arts. Lets see how you fair up against the rest of us." At that two guys rushed her head on. Xaio tossed her bag to one of the thugs where he caught it and stopped. She ran, leaped into the air stepped on one of the thug's chest with her right foot using him to launch herself and knee the other thug in the face in mid air. At the same time while still in the air spun her body around and kicked the thug who she stepped off of at the side of his face with her left foot sending both of them to the ground. She came back down standing and staring angrily at the rest of them.
"I don't have time to waste here. It's getting late so get out of my way!" She pointed threatening the leader. The leader just stood there as if he planned for that to happen, he took out a cigarette and started smoking.
"Not bad. Not bad at all Tinkerbell. But you're right; I don't have time to waste. It is getting rather late so let's make this quick shall we?" He blew out smoke and reached into his pocket and pulled out a glock pistol and aimed it dead on at her. Xaio froze and was speechless.
"What's the matter Tink? Cat got your tongue? Tssshh…that was corny. Hiro go get her bag would you." Another thug came out took her bag and started to search it. He pulled out a small but expensive digital camera, 600 yen (600 yen 60 U.S. dollars) and Jin's golden locket.
"It seems that Tink here has been holding out on us." Hiro handed him the camera, money and the locket.
"Matte! Those are presents from my parents in China take the money but please not the camera. My parents worked hard to get me that. That locket isn't mine, it belongs to my friend, and it's very dear to my friend." She pleaded trying to persuade him
"Sorry but I'm just not that sentimental type of guy as you can see. Hiro, Shougo, Muto and the rest of you teach Tinkerbell here a lesson for lying to us and when you're done you can do as you please but make it quick." He then put out his cigarette and waved his finger at her. One thug rushed her with a punch but she evaded it but another thug threw sand in her eyes blinding her as the other thug spun around and kicked her in the stomach. She staggered back holding her stomach and the other hand wiping the sand out of her eyes. When she gained her vision back another thug already came in but before she can react to it he bumped her in the head with a bat. She staggered back now feeling dizzy. Two thugs came up behind her when a dark figure came up behind them.
"Hoy." Right when the two thugs looked back the figure kicked one of them with a hard right crescent kick followed by an axe kick on his chest knocking him out. The other thug gave a right punch but he blocked with his left and gave a strong right roundhouse punch sending him flying and unconscious.
"And just who the hell are you?" Said the gang leader coolly as if not surprised by his appearance.
"I will be collecting what you have taken if you don't mind." Xaio couldn't make out whom the figure was since she couldn't see straight from the head blow and it being dark out.
"Not a chance." Five more goons came out and surrounded the mystery fighter. He just stood there calmly.
"Ahhh…The cool guy act. Look I don't know who you think you are but you have two choices. One is to give us all your belongings quietly and I may let you and the girl leave. Or two, hmph…lets just say you don't want choice number two. So what will it be tough guy?"
After saying that the mystery fighter rushed one thug and gave him an upper cut popping him into the air and he quickly spun around and gave the thug still air bourn a spinning side kick sending flying into and through a fence. At that the rest rushed him, one rushed his right side where he just gave him a sucker punch with the back of his fist. Another rushed behind him. The fighter lifted his left leg up kicking the rusher in the chin knocking him off balance and he gave him a spinning right heel drop kick in the face sending him spinning unconscious. Another thug came up in front with a left round house kick where the mystery fighter caught easily, grabbed his leg with both hands and spun him around and threw him into the thug who got sucker punched who got up for some more knocking both of them out. The fighter stood there looking at the two unconscious thugs when a thug came up and bashed a bat on his back hoping to knock him out. The wooden bat shattered into pieces and the fighter still stood not moving as if nothing happened. He then looked back at the thug holding what's left of the wooden bat and fear just struck the thug as the mystery fighter rushed in punching him in the nose stunning him and the fighter spun three times and does a leaping upper cut sending him into the air. As the fighter stood once more the leader immediately took his gun and pointed in his direction but when he looked up the fighter wasn't there no more.
"Pant…pant…pant…Where'd he go?" The leader started backing up when he bumped into someone. He quickly turned around pointing the gun at the person but the fighter was quicker. With his left hand he lifted the thugs gun and his hand into the air and with his right hand twisted the same arm forcing the thug to be pointing the gun at himself.
"OKAY! OKAY! YOU WIN!" The fighter than kicked him into the chest knocking him to his butt now holding the thug's gun and then destroyed the gun by taking it apart and throwing the pieces at the thug leader. The leader stood up and dusted himself off.
"You'll regret this one da….ughhhhh" The leader was cut off as the mystery fighter gave him a strong punch in the gut knocking him out. When he bent down to retrieve Xaio's camera and the money he saw his golden locket.
"How did my locket get here?" He than looked at Xaio and had a pretty good idea on why the locket was there and he gave a small smirk. He picked up Xaio's bag and started to look in it and found her address along with her house key. After gathering all her belongings he looked back at the thug leader.
"Nice shades. Hope you don't mind if I take em." He bent down taking his shades and putting it in his pocket. He then made his way towards Xaio who almost was unconscious herself. He bent down and lifted her head up.
"Xaio-chan…Daijobu?" Xaio eyes barely opened and saw the dark figure but were still too dizzy to see that the dark figure was Jin all along but his voice sounded awfully familiar.
"Don't worry everything is gonna be alright. Trust me." Jin lifted her up and carried her in his arms. Xaio nodded and then closed her eyes falling asleep.
"Arigato Xaio-chan. You can rest now. Rest well." Jin then started to walk off to Xaio's house with Xaio asleep in his arms.
