Love in the Shadows Chapter Five
"Ryu, hey. I'm just here with Miharu." Xiaoyu said playing it off.
"Oh really? Where is she?" he said giving Xiaoyu a hug.
"Oh um, she uh left! Yeah she just left."
"Why? Where did she go?"
"Oh she had to go home because her mom said so." Xiaoyu said hoping that he would believe it even though she wasn't the best liar.
"Oh. So you wanna join me and Sukehime?" he said as Sukehime jabbed him in the ribs.
"No."
"Oh come on."
"I can't."
"I insist."
"No I really can't."
"Why?"
"Because I'm here with someone."
"Who?" he said narrowing his eyes.
"Um... Hwoarang! She blurted suddenly."
"Oh..." Ryu said. Hwoarang being one of his arch rivals.
"Well then have fun." he said going to kiss Xiaoyu's cheek but she slithered away from his grasp before he could.
She walked back to her little table room and stood in front of the sliding door. She smoothed her shirt out and went to open it. Before she could Jin did. She had forgotten that the paper doors cast a shadow.
"I know what you saw."
"What are you talking about Jin?"
"I saw it too. That's why I'm worried about this. Just wait until everything is over. Ok?"
"Who were you talking to?" he asked now in a casual tone as he sat back down.
"A kid from school."
"Oh would I know this 'kid from school'?"
"I don't know maybe."
"Who was it? Xiao..."
Cough-ahem-"Ryu."cough. She said as fast as lightning.
"You're friends with that little fag?"
"No. He just won't leave me alone. I tried dropping him hints but he won't go away."
"Kick his ass. Then he'll go away."
"No Jin." she said sitting down next to him and kissing him. She always kissed him when she wanted him to shutup.
Just then the door slid open and they were interrupted again.
"Hot chocolate." the waittress said giving Xiaoyu her drink and accidentally spilling it on her because she was jealous that such a young girl was dating a man as beautiful as Jin.
"Oh my! I am so sorry." she said smiling at Jin when she was supposed to be talking to Xiaoyu.
"It's fine." Xiaoyu said forcing a smile.
"I'll get you another one on the house." she said smiling at Jin and touching his shoulder.
"No that won't be necessary, we're leaving." Jin said standing up with Xiaoyu.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah." he said taking Xiaoyus hand and leading her out the back way. When they were out he put up his hood.
"I guess that I have to take you back now."
"No, I'm fine. I'm just a little bit wet."
"Xiaoyu the whole front of your shirt is soaked."
"So what."
"I'm taking you back."
"But I won't see you again for a month."
"You're strong. You'll live."
"I'll miss you." she said, her eyes tearing up, as she jumped at him in a hug.
"It's ok. Once I win everything will be ok. We can have a normal life and everything." he said stroking her hair and wiping her tears away. Then he kissed her and for that moment everything was gone. In her mind nothing else existed, not good, not evil, nothing.
"It's just that I love you so much."
"Xiao, I'm not dying. You'll see me again. Calm down okay?" she nodded and did as she was told.
"So where are you going tonight?"
"Take me to Miharu's. She lives a few blocks from here."
"Ok. Xiao, look at me."
"What?"
"After today no more tears ok? Everything is going to be ok."
"Ok."
"Do you promise?"
"Yeah, why do you get all weird when you see me cry?"
"Because."
"Because why?"
"It's hard to see the one you love cry." After hearing that she really wanted to cry alot more because Jin wasn't the type to come out and say 'I love you' he was more the type that it was there you knew it was there so it didn't need to be said.
They walked on for what seemed like forever and finally they reached their destination.
"This is it. Miharu's apartment."
"Remember it's only a month that's Four weeks, only 28 days. You'll be fine." he said kissing her cheek.
"When do the matches begin? Do you know?" she asked.
"Well my first one is this Saturday so that's what? In about two days," he said, "yours probably isn't until next week."
"I'll go look at the training hall. Well good luck. I love you." she said kissing his cheek.
He nodded and watched as she walked into the apartment building and up the stairs. He turned to walk away. Back to reality and back to his hotel room.
