Tekken Fan Fiction ❯ Jin and Xiaoyu love story ❯ Talking to myself ( Chapter 1 )

It’s a gray dull day, at any moment the sky is going to open and let the water flow. Already on my way home, the sky was starting to scare me. I can’t say that I enjoy walking home in the rain, at least not by myself. But the person I’m in love with…; for lack of better words… doesn’t know I exist. So today as any other, he went to train and I went to be alone; you know… sometimes I really hate that guy.

Finally arriving home, aka the Mishima Mansion; and running up to my bedroom, noticing some maid drying the steps behind me. Opening and closing the door as silent as a slam would allow; I was wet and in no mood to hear anyone tell me anything about tracking water on the expensive tile.

Walking into the restroom and glancing at the clock; I have an issue with time… I am always late. I have a lot of clocks in my bedroom, too many. It’s almost dinner time and I still need to shower; there is no way I can fake a stuffy black dinner dress after my long walk home. Seeing the steam rise from the hot water hitting the shower ground was invigorating; I can’t wait to strip from these clothes and get in all that lushes stream!

My mistake was glancing at the clock and seeing I only had about 45 minutes until dinner; ‘Wonderful Xiaoyu… now you’re going to be late for that too?’ Enjoying the shower would have to wait; getting out of my wet clothes, pulling the ties from my hair, I jumped in the shower. And oh did the steam feel so good!

Dressed, down the stairs and into the dining area; I can feel the smile sweep across my face. There he is, the man who haunts my dreams every night and day. He smiles and bows; “Evening Xiao.” He’s still so breathe taking when he flashes that smile; “Evening Jin”, I say with a bow. He must know I like him; he holds my eyes with his hazel iris. Wow… I know I’m not supposed to think like this; but what I wouldn’t do to just run over and jump on him. He’s stunning and he knows it!

Sitting to the right of Heihachi and Jin on the left; we listen mindlessly to him speak. Jin occasionally nodded and answers yes Grandfather. But for me this dinner is much different; Jin has been smiling frequently at me. Of course I smile back; and I can’t help myself. With his hazel eyes, spiked in the back black hair; all of this reminds me of our sparing matches. Walking in seeing his hard body full of sweat; ‘Ahhh, why does he keep doing that…? What’s he trying to do to me? I’m sure he knows I like him… why else would he being doing that?’ Dinner was becoming something I couldn’t handle, but at the same time something I needed to handle to make it thru the day. Or at least it seems like I need to make it thru dinner to make it thru the day.

Finally dinner is over, feeling a bit used and sad, I climb the long half circled stairway to my bedroom. I hate when I give into him during dinner, not like he’s done this before, but still…; I feel bad. Sitting on my private balcony looking at the blue black sky filled with such wonderful things always makes me feel better. “Xiao” I hear; “Okay that’s Jin’s voice… but why would Jin be here? I’m sure I’m wrong.’ But I hear it again, “Xiao?” ‘Okay, I know that’s Jin!’

Looking over the edge of the balcony I see him; wearing a black sweat suit. He smiles and motions for me to come down; ‘Okay think Xiaoyu… is this something you really want to do? You’ve been living here for more than a few months and he’s never really looked at you?’ My mind tells me this may be the wrong thing to do, but I don’t care, taking dares is what I live for. And besides after walking home in the rain, what else could go wrong?

Walking toward him is… something I can’t put into words… yet! “Thanks for coming Xiao” Jin says. “Oh… okay… um so what’s up?” “Nothing” he said motioning for me to walk again; “I actually just wanted to see if you wanted to go for a walk tonight?” More strange things this day has brought; “Sure… we won’t get in trouble right?” He only shakes his head; with his hands behind his back we start walking.

“So tell me Xiao… do you like living at Mishima Mansion?” “Yes of course… but sometimes it can be a little stiff.” That stunning smile breaks the momentarily silence; “I know what you mean!” He starts talking, with full blown conversation; this is something I’d never seen him do at school. Looking at him speak was eye opening; all this time I thought he was so far from me. I mean, I couldn’t even touch the man in my dreams; but here he was, talking and laughing with me… Ling Xiaoyu! ‘Wow strange things are happening tonight at the Mishima Mansion!’

When the walk finally ends, I have a blown mind! “Xiao, thanks for coming tonight. I don’t have friends… well until you.” Jin smiles and goes his own way into the mansion; it takes all the self control and strength I have to walk into the mansion to my bedroom. I close and press my back against the door before I smile sighing big and melt to the floor; ‘He called me his friend!’ Head on the ground, turning my head and falling asleep; nothing and I mean nothing is going to ruin this night.
