A/N: YAY! Holidays have started! Mwahahahahahaha! That cliffhanger was pretty darn evil eh? Sorry bout that peoples but I just happened to be in a "I think I should put up a cliffhanger and annoy the readers" mood but luckily for u, I update quite often. Glad nobody actually did throw any tomatoes at me but hibeki was close to throwing daggers at me :S Never fear, the update is here! But first, 2 the reviews:

Henred5: Maybe…..maybe not. Xiaoyu's innocent look can get anybody to trust her but I guess Kazuya doesn't really count :P

MooNTeARZ: Sorry bout the cliffhanger but it had to be done! And more is definitely on the way!

Tekkengeek01: Being the hardcore Xiaoyu fan I am, theres absolutely NO WAY in the world I would EVER kill her! I can't exactly get Kazuya to believe Xiaoyu and not kill her coz that wud be so un-Kazuya and I do try to keep everyone in character.

Xjmaster: I am soooo sorry for the cliffhanger and hopefully, u wont b that pissed off now :S hope u enjoy this chapter!

Hibeki: I do like Xiao, it's just that now Kazuya has found out that she really did do that to him, do u really think he'll jus say it was no big deal and walk off? I think not! So it had to happen but I will never kill of Xiaoyu!

Didn't say this last chapter so I'll jus say it now. I don't own the tekken series and I never will! Now, onto the story!

Chapter 15: Cheating death again

As Xiaoyu was free falling down the waterfall, time started to slow down and her life had started to play right before her eyes….

(End flashback)

Xiaoyu was exhausted and she had lost consciousness while she was still falling, knowing that the blurry image of water was the last thing she would ever see.
After what felt like an eternity, Xiaoyu's eyes fluttered open. The paramedic stood over her.

"You're alive! You gave me quite a scare there." The paramedic said, relieved that she wasn't dead.

"How could I be alive?" Xiaoyu muttered, sitting up.

"A young man with wings brought you here." The paramedic said, obviously surprised at what he had just said. At first, Xiaoyu stared at him with a confused expression but then she had realised who it was. The paramedic handed Xiaoyu a towel and started treating her wounds. He put one of Xiaoyu's arms around his neck and helped her up and Xiaoyu began limping back to the black jeep that was waiting near the area.

Xiaoyu and the paramedic arrived back at the Mishima Hotel. Xiaoyu told the paramedic that she was ok now so she limped through the automated doors. Steve was talking to Julia in the lobby. Julia caught sight of Xiaoyu and immediately rushed to her side. Steve was a bit perplexed at first but when he saw Xiaoyu, he followed suit.

"What happened Xiao?" Julia asked in a concerned voice.

"K-K-Kazuya got me real g-g-good." Xiaoyu stuttured, still feeling slightly cold and wet.

"Then why are you wet?" Steve asked.

"Decided t-to take a d-d-dip at the…uh, lake…?" Xiaoyu said with a weak smile.

"In all your clothes?" Julia asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I didn't bring m-my swimsuit." Xiaoyu added, chuckling nervously.

"No, seriously, what happened Xiao?" Steve asked, becoming impatient of Xiaoyu's lies.

"Ok…but c-can I get changed f-first?" Xiaoyu asked quickly. Julia and Steve glanced at each other, knowing this one might be huge. They complied and waited until Xiaoyu was dry and changed. Half an hour later, Xiaoyu told Julia and Steve the truth on what happened.

"How could he do that to you? You were only trying to help." Julia said.

"It's understandable though, it was partially my fault." Xiaoyu said, guilt weighing heavily inside of her.

"What do you mean it was partially your fault? You didn't have enough time and that was something you couldn't control." Steve said, annoyed at Xiaoyu's self-blame.

"I can't believe he could remember you after so many years." Julia said.

"Yeah, well it would be kinda hard to forget an event like that." Xiaoyu said.

"If I go up against Kazuya, I will make sure I beat the crap outta him for you!" Steve said confidently, a smirk spreading across his face as he slammed a fist into his open palm. Xiaoyu giggled at Steve's comment.

"Don't beat him up too bad, I don't want him more angrier at me than he already is." Xiaoyu said and added a little laugh afterwards.

A/N: HAHA I love saving Xiao in the nick of time…..she's had a lot of life-death experiences eh? Ahem, ok…sorry if its sooo short and I didn't like the way that chapter turned out…guess my writer's block is kicking in again after I had that awesome idea where Kazuya throws Xiao off the cliff….Ok, that really sucks…WHEN WILL IT LEAVE ME ALONE! Ok, let me know wot you think of this by….REVIEWING!
