But since I cant resist, thanks to xjmaster for telling me the story that's made so far for Tekken 6. I'll somehow incorporate it into my story :D Well, since I cant reply to reviews (ARGH!) I'll get on with the story.

Chapter 2: Invitation (Why must I always make my chapter titles so obvious!)

Xiaoyu and Panda reached Xiaoyu's apartment on the third floor. She rummaged through her bag to find her house keys and after a few minutes of an in-depth search, she found them and opened the door to her apartment. When Xiaoyu walked in, she felt herself stand on something. Xiaoyu chuckled, reminded of when she stood on Julia's glasses. She looked down to see an envelope underneath her foot. Xiaoyu assumed it was one of her old bill envelopes and was about to continue when something on the top left hand corner of the envelope. Xiaoyu picked it up to have a closer inspection. It was the Mishima Zaibatsu logo. "No…way…" Xiaoyu said, instantly tearing apart the envelope. The letter read:

To Miss Ling Xiaoyu

You are invited to participate in the King of Iron Fist tournament 6. If you do not wish to participate, then you do not have to but if you do, fill out the entry form and send it back. Your presence will be highly appreciated. The tournament will commence in one week. We hope you will be ready by then.

CEO of the Mishima Zaibatsu

J. Mishima

Xiaoyu raised her eyebrow. The CEO of the Mishima Zaibatsu normally doesn't actually write these letters. Xiaoyu sat on her couch, thinking of possibilities of who J. Mishima could be. It could be Jinpachi Mishima…I think he was the CEO of the company last tournament…but I heard that G corporation took control of it. It can't be Jin because he can't stand being called the son of Kazuya…who is it? Her eyes fell back onto the invitation, bringing her mind back to the fact that there was another tournament. "These tournaments just come sooner and sooner." Xiaoyu muttered as she read the invitation over and over again in her mind. This time, her mind wasn't as controversial about the idea. I've got to go. Even if I try to make things right again, I'll probably end up screwing stuff up so the least I can do is apologise. Xiaoyu turned her head towards Panda, who was sitting on the floor beside her. "What do you say Panda. Should we go for it?" Panda nodded her head vigorously. This brought a smile to Xiaoyu's face. "Alright, let's do it!" Xiaoyu stood up and rushed to her room, dropping the invitation. She emerged in her red and black training suit with red light up bangles. Instead of her usual two-ponytail hairstyle, this time it was a single ponytail. She stuffed her cellphone, a towel and a drink bottle into a little bag and led the eager Panda out of the apartment and onto the street towards the nearest dojo.

Xiaoyu and Panda stepped into the dojo, a little bell above the door ringing. She took a seat on the side and watched the students, aged 5-10 practicing some karate. When the students have finished afterwards, Xiaoyu went towards the man that was teaching the students. "Hello Sensei." Xiaoyu said cheerfully. The man turned around and instantly smiled. He was a middle-aged man with apparent wrinkles forming on his face. He was tall and quite well built, wearing traditional Japanese karate attire. "Xiaoyu! Another tournament coming up huh?" The man, Master Hiroki said. (Very bad at making up Japanese names…..or any Asian names for that matter) Xiaoyu nodded. "These tournaments just never end." Master Hiroki said with a chuckle. "Yeah." Xiaoyu said, smiling. "I was hoping that me and Panda could spar. Is that ok with you?" Xiaoyu asked. "It gains quite an audience every time you fight your Panda, Xiaoyu."

"Cool! Thank you Sensei!" Xiaoyu said, bowing after she said that. Panda ran up to Xiaoyu. "You ready?" Xiaoyu asked. Panda stood on her hind legs in answer. "Ok." Xiaoyu took two steps away and got into her fighting stance. "Ling Xiaoyu vs Panda." Master Hiroki said, imitating the voice-overs in beat em up games, making Xiaoyu giggle. "Ready? FIGHT!" Xiaoyu rushed at Panda, slapping her hand down quickly and following it up with a kick. The combo was too fast for Panda to do anything so she got flung back. Panda got up quickly and hammered both fists down on Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu was about to block it was the move came first, leaving Xiaoyu temporarily vulnerable. Panda rasied both paws, making Xiaoyu go airborne and then Panda hammered Xiaoyu back down while she was airborne. Xiaoyu screamed in pain as she hit the ground but she was back on her feet, her balance slightly shaken. Panda executed a left punch combo but Xiaoyu had dodged it by sidestepping. She performed a low sweep, making Panda flip. While Panda was airborne, Xiaoyu jumped in the air and executed three kicks, the last one making her flip back. Panda rolled forward and performed a cross chop, knocking Xiaoyu back. The students from the lesson had started to gather round the two fighters, cheering. While Xiaoyu was on the ground, Panda jumped and landed and Xiaoyu, the wind knocked out of her. "Ok, I give!" Xiaoyu said quickly before the last of her breath was gone. Whenever Panda performed that move, there was no way that Xiaoyu would be able to get back up in time. Panda got off her and was immediately swarmed by the students. Xiaoyu got up and brushed herself, panting. Master Hiroki walked up to Xiaoyu. "Ok… so I need to… brush up on… how to live… when a massive weight… gets placed on top of you." Xiaoyu said in between pants. "Yes, when will the tournament start?" Hiroki asked. "One week." Xiaoyu said, seeing Panda getting petted by all the students. "Then you'll need to start today." Master Hiroki crossed his arms. Xiaoyu groaned. He reminds me of Hwoarang's mentor.
