Killing Time
A Jann Lee x Hitomi, Dead or Alive fanfiction.
She was the Karate Kid of the Dead or Alive tournaments, the jean jacket girl of the fighting world, and the proclaimed 'Fist of Innocence'. She'd captured the hearts of many fans, but she only wanted one thing.
For her friend to come home. She didn't understand how someone could forget so easily about people that cared. She knew that he would get his memory back, but that was no excuse for causing her to worry.
But someone had helped her to understand, talking to her about what it meant to be a true warrior... "It's about what you feel inside," she'd answered. Then she realized that she had known all along, she had understood. Ein was following his own path.
That didn't mean she wasn't going to beat Jann Lee, and head on to the semi-finals to fight Ein. But she was the first person to gain the respect of the Invincible Dragon; a teenage girl from Nowhere, Germany, came to an understanding with the most misogynistic and smug fighter of the DoA. And the feeling was mutual.
It didn't feel bad to lose to Ein; after all, she'd lost to him many times during sparring matches. And for being a first timer, she'd gotten third place in the tournament. Her new friend, Jann Lee, fourth, her friend Tina, tied for fifth with her tag partner, Zack.
The next year, she had to defeat Lei Fang, a girl she'd bonded with during the girls' tenure on Zack Island. She'd made it to the semi-finals, but was unable to claim victory. She didn't feel so bad.
She and Jann Lee talked more. Whenever they had time, or passed each other in the hall. No matter what Hitomi said, Tina didn't believe that they were just friends.
"You don't know him like we do, Hitomi. Jann Lee doesn't make friends; especially not with girls. Lei Fang, back me up!" The boisterous blond said.
It hurt when Lei Fang looked up at her, with jealousy blazing in her chocolate eyes. She didn't say anything; but she didn't have to.
Tina just blinked in confusion. "I didn't know Lei liked him that way... I thought she just wanted to kick his ass..." She said, rubbing the back of her neck.
Hitomi turned and kicked a pillow as a means of taking out her frustration. She and Jann Lee were just friends!
Weren't they?
Yeah, I'll continue this once I get reviews.
