Shattered Soul
By: Elie
-o-o-o-
She just hated it when people greet her: HAPPY BIRTHDAY XIAOYU! It was too inept. Ha.
Maybe, her birthday was her own little secret. Just a little, though…
What ways could she spend her birthday anyway? Go to the mall? Nah…what about go to the mall and play video games?
Yeah, right on.
Fitting perfectly into her denim jeans and pink tank top, Xiaoyu snatched her white handbag, adjusted her pink checkered sneakers on, and snapped out of the room.
…
The mall was like paradise to her – crowdie, cold, and nobody would care about you.
She gleefully took the elevator up to the 3rd floor where the arcade was located. Damn, it was fucking full, and she was being squished by a fat man beside her.
She shut her eyes tight in irritation until she reached the 3rd floor. Quickly, she squeezed herself out to breathe.
"I'm glad I made it out alive," She said, panting.
Her cellphone started vibrating from her pocket. Irked, she picked it out and saw 3 unread messages on its screen.
The first two were from some commercial dopes, and the last one was from Jin – and it made her melt in excitement or something. She couldn't understand why.
Ei Xiao, I saw u pass by earlier & I happn 2 b hir also u knw. Meet u at Coffee Bean's at exactly ryt nw. Hurry.
"Fuck you," she muttered, amused.
She sometimes loved Jin's personality - seriously straight to the point. And, the fact that he rarely hanged out in the mall for since, like…ever…was totally new.
Besides, this wasn't going to be a date, anyway. Dates were planned. If Jin Kazama did plan one then…
As she putted back her cellphone inside her pocket, Xiaoyu totally forgot she wanted to play at the arcade.
…
"It's all about caffeine…" Jin said to himself, pulling out the teabag which was five minutes soaked in his mug.
He'd been waiting for Xiaoyu for almost ten minutes and he'd been wondering where she was already. What's taking her so long?
He suddenly caught a glimpse of a cute, all-pink wearing girl standing out of her senses outside the frosted window.
Smirking, he waited for her to pop the door open.
…
Xiaoyu loved the smell of coffee and pastries blend in the air. She didn't mind if people stared at her inhaling the aroma outside.
Could they just mind their own fucking businesses?
Anyway, she saw Jin sitting on a beige-colored loveseat by a corner, wearing a black long-sleeved polo shirt. His buttons in front were half opened, revealing a broad, delicious looking muscular chest. His raven hair was neatly held back by gel and it shined from afar.
Man, was she looking too much at him?
She walked toward him, awkwardly.
His eyes beamed, adoring the way she would wear her clothes. She knew how to match colors, like pink and white for example.
And wow, she even took time to do her hair. The pigtails were neatly braided down and tied with matching pink knots.
Cute
Reveling at her appearance unconsciously, he had forgotten she had already taken her seat beside him.
He squinted and then looked at her, his cheeks secretly rosy. "Oh hello,"
He paused for a moment, realizing she wasn't paying much attention to him. She was looking intently around the café, maybe overwhelmed by the cozy feel of the place or something.
"So, you like it here?" he asked.
"Uh-huh…" Xiao nodded, still subdued by the dainty smell of fresh vanilla coffees served to a couple at the table next to theirs.
After getting back to her senses, she gazed at him, who was now preoccupied with his cellphone. "Jin, why are we here again?"
He stared back, flashing his trademark grin. He pulled back from the table, lifting his hand for the waiters to see. He seemed to be signaling them or something.
She craned her neck to see the waiters nod at their direction.
"Jin, answer me. What the hell is going on? What are you telling them?" she asked again.
"You'll know…" He answered tentatively.
She noticed his grin had gotten cockier. Annoyed, she said, "What are you staring at?"
Jin ignored her and smiled at the waiter in front of him, "Ah…here it is."
The waiter carried a petite black forest cake with a tiny decorative candle on top.
"Make a wish!" the waiter said, enthusiastically.
"You can go now." Xiaoyu mumbled, dismissing the waiter immediately. She turned to Jin, looked so anxious. "How did you know about it?"
"Don't be angry…I asked you two nights ago. You were sort of…drunk." Jin mused. "Aren't you happy?"
Her eyes snapped. "I'm -"
Jin kissed her – and he didn't fucking care if people stared at them.
"I'm happy…because I like the cake's flavor", she whispered in his mouth.
He pulled away. "Did I forget to say something? Oh, yeah. Happy birthday Xiao!"
He embraced her, and she fought the urge to cry. This was the best thing anyone could do for her. And, here he was…
"Thanks…Jin," she mumbled, shy.
But a familiar face stared at them from the window.
"Shit," she muttered.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Jin asked, confused.
"It's Miharu!" Xiaoyu shrieked, horrified.
…
Miharu Hirano stomped her way toward them. "You, you…traitor!" she cried.
"Miharu, I can explain…" Xiaoyu stood up, weakly.
"Hi Mi--"
"Don't tell me," Miharu cut Jin while staring sort of evilly at the cake on the table.
She smirked, turning to Xiaoyu. "First the tournament, then Jin, plus your birthday...!"
"I'm sorry but no one was supposed to know…" Xiaoyu explained, holding Miharu's hand tight.
"Actually, I surprised her Mi, so don't get mad at her." Jin said.
Miharu's eyes swooned with confusion as she divided her glance with both people. "But I'm your best friend Xiao…friends tell!"
Xiaoyu shrugged. "Sorry for being reserved…"
"And how did he know!" Miharu pointed accusingly at Jin. "Answer me Xiao, you told me he doesn't even talk to you that much, except for the whole scholar thingy, and that both of you aren't even close, so tell me what's exactly going on!"
"He is…well we are…uh…" Xiaoyu uttered, looking at Jin, who was calmly staring back at her.
Ugh. How could he be so fucking CALM all the time?
"Isn't it obvious that we date each other, Miharu?" He shrugged, actually telling the truth…well, not quite.
"She was supposed to tell me that! It's not that I'm jealous or anything, but why hide?" Miharu asked, surprised.
"You ought to know this time…"Xiaoyu finally gave in, telling and explaining to her friend about everything, ranging from the tournament, the fake scholarship, Jin, and her birthday.
Miharu stared at her friend in awe and envy. Nevertheless, she was contented of the truth that Xiaoyu somehow trusted her this time.
Were her best friend and this hottie in love after all? Uh-huh…
…
"You know, you're really lucky to have Jin…" Miharu giggled.
"W-what do you mean?" Xiaoyu asked innocently, her face turning to a shade of pink.
"He said to keep your relationship a secret right? Don't worry…it's definitely safe with me…" Miharu said, throwing her head against the bench.
Xiaoyu smiled, "Then, don't tell anyone, okay?"
"Xiao, why is he keeping your relationship a secret?" Miharu asked.
Xiaoyu muttered an answer, "I don't know…but it's better that way…I guess."
Miharu squeezed both her hands and grinned mischievously. She had wanted to ask Xiao about this since this morning after knowing Jin was dating her.
"Xiao, did you have had sex with Jin?" she blurted.
"Uh…hell no!" Xiaoyu stomped her feet, folding her arms over her chest.
"Come on, I can see it in your eyes! And I won't tell either!"
"Fine, we had, and so? Everyone's doing it! You're doing it!"
Miharu gasped, clamping her own mouth. "Girl, you are so like, lucky! I knew it, he loves you! Do you!"
"Love me? I don't know…" Xiaoyu stuttered, but, Miharu placed a finger over her lips. I really don't care. I think I'm just a toy to him…
Miharu smiled wisely. "You don't have to tell me…I think I know already."
…
"It's too late, Xiao…you gave yourself fully to me already."
Craning her neck, she saw Jin sitting on her bed.
"Can you read my mind?" She asked, grinning. She went toward him, and sat on his lap.
"Sort of…" He replied, kissing her neck down to her collar bone.
She moaned as her hands grasped for his hair, burying his head deeply on her breasts in return.
"Psychic, I see…" She murmured in his hair, and he tilted up to see those gorgeous chocolate eyes.
"I know, I think," He grinned, slamming her on the bed. Their lips met hungrily, and as soon as they knew it, their clothes went flying on the floor.
His hands rubbed her limbs, and he loved how plausible they were. Their hips bucked and her legs were soon parted a little.
She nibbled on his neck, earning a long, sexy groan. Their eyes locked again – hazel to chocolate – a perfect blend.
Jin broke the silence, "Whoa, be gentle in there -"
Xiaoyu grinned, closing her eyes as he leaned down and suckled her next for vengeance.
Take me again, Kazama…
They shuddered, his dick entering her. The feeling was electrifying as usual – but there was something different – it was the feeling of will.
Oh, yes – she wanted to do this more than he did.
He pummeled deeply, lust hovering throughout their bodies. She fought the urge to scream so loud in ecstasy. God, it was DAMN GREAT.
This was addictive. This was soothing. This was their drug.
Their bodies lied in exhaustion. Sweat soaking the bed –
They just lied there –
Eyes closed –
Clasped in each other –
