Che-low my ever lovely peeps!

Okay i'll be honest the reason it took so long for this to come out, was because i had nothing for the first part. I had zit, nada, blow raspberry. But like a bolt of lightening i got it and here we are. But god let me tell you, work is really putting the screws to me and i'm pretty sure they're doing their best to drive me into the ground. Ugh, anyway this story will follow the events of the three remastered Tomb Raider games, along with me adding in some OC's and scene to fill in the gaps between times. So as always i don't own Tomb Raider.

So please, read, review and "What the fuc-BOOM"

Chapter 1: How Lara Croft Met Xero Mazoku

Lara glared.

It was mocking her. She knew it was.

While she wasn't short by any means and her arms were long, that fucking book was just...out of her reach. She jumped up again, her fingers grazing the cover's edge but still couldn't reach the stupid thing. She sighed, putting her hands on her hips.

Thank god Roth or heaven forbid SAM wasn't here to find her acting like a five year old trying to reach the cookie jar. She'd die of pure embarrassment and thankful no one else was in the library.

Her best(Only) friend meant well and all, but she wouldn't pass up the golden opportunity to tease the living hell out of Lara. Never the less, Lara herself couldn't help but cruse her height of 5'6 foot tall. While it was a good height for a woman, there were times when she hated it.

Now being a prefect example of such time.

Grunting Lara put her hands on her hips and thought on what to do, unaware of the large figure behind her. Lara glared at the book just out of reach again and tried to melt it with her glare. That glare was broken when she heard a chuckle,"Keep that up and you might just burn the thing? Really what did it ever do to you?"

Lara gasped as a large hand overcame her, reaching over head and grabbed the book she was trying to reach. She subconsciously backed up and hit a solid mass that felt like a wall. She felt a well muscled arm wrap around her waist as she heard the owner speak,"Well iv'e had some pretty demanding partner's but form what Sammy told me, you're too tomboyish. Which is a damn shame to hide such beauty. Really it should be a crime and you should be ashamed of you're self."

A bright blush made it's way to Lara's face, as she squirmed in his hold. The one holder her was definitely male. She could tell that form the tone of his voice and how deep it was. That, and the rock hard chest and abs she was accidentally felt up.

It was a good feel.

Lara quickly slipped out of his grasp as the new comer gave her the book.

"I believe you were trying to get this, Ojo."

Blush darken Lara nodded and shyly took the book, her brown eyes looking up and down at the man before her.

He was of Japanese descendant but had some British in him too. His skin was pale, but a healthy pale at that, with long raven hair that had a wild look to it. Honestly the reason it stood out so much, despite his large size and height, was do to the fact the way he had it tied in a pony tail which made it look like he had a mass of quills hanging off his back. Lara couldn't help but gulp a bit, as he easily drafted her in height.

Where's she was 5'6 foot tall, the man was 6'4 foot tall and she barely reached his chin. If that wasn't enough he had a solid but slender built body. Complete with an 8 pack abs, slender arms and a chiseled chest. His eyes however are what caught Lara's attention:

Twin pools of the darkest shade of red Lara has ever seen.

The eye color did kinda scare Lara for a minute, as they reminded her of the demonic gaze of a demon's stare, but Lara saw a kind smile that soothe her fears and had her heart thumping like crazy. The tight black tank top he wore did very little to hide his body form Lara's wandering eyes and while she has never put too much stock into the male form or any sexual thought for that matter, she couldn't help but stare now.

The tall man flashed Lara another smile,"Damn, Sam told me you aren't a social butterfly, but you can at least introduce you're self, Ojo."

Lara's brain kicked started and her mouth moved faster then she could have stopped it, as her hand shot out to shake his own.

"ROFT RA!"

She wanted to die.

Never before in her life had she wanted nothing more then to just crawl in a hole somewhere and die. Her blush darker, if that was possible, as she was certain her entire body lit up like a Christmas tree. The man smile strained a bit and he was clearly trying not to laugh, as he took her hand into his much larger one to shake it. No matter how much he wanted to laugh.

Or cringe.

She didn't blame him, as she was cringing.

Muttering a "Thank you" Lara quickly scurried away, mentally berating herself for making herself look AND sound like a complete nut case and fool in front of the hotest guy she's ever met.

God above she made herself look like a complete fool!

Lara got back to her desk, her face slowly losing it's redness and repeatedly slammed her head against the cool wood, muttering,"Stupid, stupid, stupid" could she had made herself look like a bigger jackass?

The answer:

Probably not.

"Well that didn't go like i thought it would, Ojo."

Lara's head shot up to see the same man, standing there with an easy smile on his face. He took a seat across form her and said,"Well Miss Roft Ra, i'm Xero Mazoku."

Lara's cheeks burned again at being reminded of her blunder. Deciding too make up for her own blunder, Lara cleared her throat and got her blush under control.

"It's actually Lara Croft."

Xero held his hand out and Lara took it,"Nice to met ya."

It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Done.

Okay shorter then i would have liked but hey, beggers can't be chose's, no?

FYI, for those that don't know, Ojo is in fact a Japanese Term for: Princess. I will throughout the story drop more and more of these words and will always be in Italic form to set them apart form the other ones and at the end of each chapter will reveal what each word means. So please leave me nice reviews.

Devil out.
