Tekken Fan Fiction ❯ Jin and Xiaoyu love story ❯ The night ( Chapter 17 )

I hear someone’s footsteps running down the hall into the sparing area; but I’m not awake yet. “Master Kazama;” I know that voice; it’s the butler “Master Kazama!” Hearing the paper door slide open; I guess I didn’t realize I stayed the night on the dojo floor. Sitting up while holding my head; the butler stopped in front of me, “Master Kazama are you alright?” “Yeah why wouldn’t I be alright?” That was a dumb question; not only is no one getting on the property, but I know how to take care of myself. “Oh thank goodness” he says “Miss Ling is not doing well this morning, and I wasn’t sure if you were okay!” Miss. Ling… Miss Ling, Xiaoyu… I remember that girl. Last night she broke up with me… and I still don’t understand why.

“Master Kazama” the butler called; I had already stood to my feet and was leaving the dojo. “Yes” I answered “Did something happen between you and Miss. Ling last night?” Taking a deep breath; I was never one to be rude to the staff. Grandfather was gone most of the time and they were my company… that was until Xiaoyu came. “Nothing of importance… I will be in my room all day, please send meals up.” “Your Grandfather is away…” he said; that was something I needed to know. If Grandfather was here; I couldn’t skip meals, and I wouldn’t be allowed to mourn my loss. “Thank you….”

Walking out of the dojo and into the main hallway; slowing by Xiaoyu’s room; I wanted to stop and knock, or go in. Just to see her… once… maybe she realized what happen and she made a mistake and she wants to get back together. Wouldn’t that be a wild dream come true; but I didn’t stop or knock, sighing big I kept walking toward my bedroom.

Opening the bedroom door and slamming it hard; this is the only time that I can do something like that. Never if Grandfather is in the house; I could never be so disrespectful to him. My bedroom is bland and dull; that’s not the problem… it’s Xiaoyu… I don’t want to be here, I want to be with her. Maybe I should sneak in her bedroom and see what’s going on. School is in 2 days and we are going to have to take the same ride; I should make sure this is something I can handle. And I need to do this before Grandfather gets home.

Showering and changing, I hate to be dirty; I walk to Xiaoyu’s bedroom. I just want to see her; make sure she is okay. If I see that she is okay… than I will forget about her, I will do my best to let her go. Opening the bedroom door slowly and quietly; stepping into the bedroom, I see her lying asleep on the bed. Closing the door behind me and stepping softly toward the bed.

She looks awful; did she cry all night? Her face is puffy and she looks pale; I want to touch her… I need to touch her! Softly touching her cheek; the wound is still fresh. The anger I still have for myself is bubbling again; how could I be so stupid! Her skin is so soft and delicate; I miss her too much already. She moans touching my hand; I don’t want her to wake up, I want to stay here. ‘Jin’ she says; this makes me happy. I think she’s waking up; snatching my hand away and dropping to the floor. Xiaoyu wakes up with a yell, while sitting up in her bed; she is breathing hard and sniffling. ‘It was just a bad dream…’ she says ‘That would never happen… I would die before I let that happen to Jin!’ Before she lets what happen to me?

She gets out of bed and walks to the restroom; coming out a few moments later shaking her head. I moved to the closet, I don’t want her to know I’m here! Sitting on the bed Xiaoyu sighs big; ‘What am I going to do now… how do I know I’ll actually get over him?’ Closing her eyes and falling back on the bed; ‘I can’t believe it… I can’t believe I fell for him! Stupid Xiao… of course you can believe it. Who wouldn’t fall for Jin? I should have seen this coming thou; if I wasn’t so dammed in love with him from the beginning. Awww I can’t believe… no I don’t want to believe it. I don’t know what I was thinking believing that Jin might actually… awwww!’

Xiaoyu’s POV

Awwww, I yelled sitting up in my bed. I was breathing hard and my heart was pounding louder than my ear could handle. I want to cry, my nose is already running; ‘It was just a bad dream… that would never happen…. I would die before I let that happen to Jin!’ I’m going to go crazy, if I sit here anymore… besides I need to pee!

Getting up and walking into the restroom; taking this time to wash my face and brush my teeth again. Looking at myself in the mirror; well at least I look better. I wonder where Jin is this morning; my eyes instantly get red and water. Sighing big, what am I going to do…? I love Jin. Finishing and leaving the restroom; sitting on the bed sighing… again. I swear that’s all that’s been coming out of my mouth lately. ‘What am I going to do now… how do I know I’ll actually get over him?’ Closing my eyes and falling back on the bed; ‘I can’t believe it… I can’t believe I fell for him! Stupid Xiao… of course you can believe it. Who wouldn’t fall for Jin? I should have seen this coming thou; if I wasn’t so dammed in love with him from the beginning. Awww I can’t believe… no I don’t want to believe it. I don’t know what I was thinking believing that Jin might actually… awwww!’

‘I’ve got to get out of here… I don’t know what will happen if I see Jin. I might run into and apologize for thinking I could live without him.’ Rolling my eyes and walking back to the restroom to put on some make up; I’m going to the arcade… maybe I’ll see Hwoarang. I don’t like him, or want to be with him in any way shape of form of the word; but I just need someone to pay attention to me. Although I don’t really want anyone else’s attention but Jin’s; but I can’t be with him anymore. He doesn’t love me… and when it comes to Jin… I want his love and soul… or nothing at all; well that can be up for debate at a later time.

Walking from the restroom to my closet; opening the doors, looking for something to wear. I don’t want to wear something that would say something like, I want to be with you; but then again… I don’t want to wear something that says I broke up with my lying user boyfriend. Grabbing a pleaded skirt with a black shirt and my doc martens; I’m going to hang out with Hwoarang today and try to forget about Jin for the day. Then I will just have to handle dinner and school; I’m bound to get use to being without him.

Dressed and walking down the stairs; the butler, I really like him; “Miss. Ling are you off for the day?” “Yes” I answer; I want to ask about Jin, oh it’s taking everything I have not to ask about him. “You know… Master Kazama was found this morning sleeping in the dojo. Did something bad happen last night?” I don’t know what to say; I don’t want to tell him… but he already knows. My eyes are burning and a tear falls from my face; “Yes… I guess you can say that…” “Don’t worry Miss. Ling; Master Kazama loves you.” I cut him off; “How! How… do you know that?” I didn’t realize I was clinging to his every word. He smiles and opened the door; “When he looks at you… his eyes hold no secrets.” All I can do is smile, “I hope you’re right… because I love him…;” stopping to make sure I don’t start crying “More than anything else in this world!” Glancing away and walking out of the house.

Finally arriving at the arcade; I wasn’t use to riding in Jin’s car, but I wasn’t use to riding the bus anymore either. The ride was torture; so much time to think about Jin and me. His expression when I said we should break up; I’m beginning to wonder if I did the right thing. Walking into the arcade and I see Hwoarang; pulling from his game, he looks at me. He smiles and I walk toward him. His smile is nice, it makes me feel pretty; wrapping my arms around his neck, I can’t help wish it was Jin.

“What are you doing back here” Hwoarang asks? “Just hanging out” I’ve turned into such a liar in my old age “So what have you been up too?” “Nothing” he answers “The same stuff as always. So can I buy you an ice cream cone?” Smiling at him; “Yeah I’d like that.” I know it’s my x-boyfriend and I still have no intention of there ever being anything else between us; but I want to feel wanted right now. We sit at the ice cream parlor and catch up; it’s nice… I just wish he was Jin. What the hell am I doing?

After what seemed like minutes, which was actually hours; we finish the ice cream, and I’ve agreed to go out with him tonight. No where special, just to see him hustle some people; no I don’t like the idea of him doing that. But I really don’t want to go home; I’m not ready to face Jin’s beautiful face… yet! We walked out of the mall and to Hwoarang’s motorcycle; boy Jin would die if he saw me doing this! There he is again… consuming my subconscious.

Arriving at the place, Hwoarang does his best work for hustling. I didn’t think I was going to enjoy watching this as much as I did; some of these people deserved it! The way they spoke and talked to me and about me; I was glad when Hwoarang took their money! I was having a good time; until I saw them. 2 men dressed in all black; ‘Please don’t say that’s Jin!’ Then there he was; wearing black jeans and a black shirt; he looked so good! I wanted to fade into him; be at his side… still! ‘No Xiaoyu… you’re here with someone else! But why is Jin here?’

Hwoarang comes to me; leaning against the wall, by the bench I sat at. “Look there… he’s got money. He’s the next one!” Oh no, he doesn’t know what he’s doing; Jin is a master… he can’t hustle Jin! “No, something’s not right… I don’t think you should do it.” I hope I didn’t sound scared or anything; Hwoarang looks at me, “You don’t think I can take him?” “No I didn’t say that” defending myself “But….” “Why does that guy keep looking at you” Hwoarang asked “Do you know him?” I don’t want to look at Jin; yeah I know him… very well! And I know what he can do… very well! Glancing at the 2 body guards; “Um… no I haven’t seen him before;” wanting to go and hide in the crowd, I don’t want anyone to see me.

Before I can say anything else to Hwoarang, like goodbye; I hear him say “It’s set up!” I watch him walk away and I want to hide. I catch Jin’s eyes that were already looking at me; my breath… what happen? I’m breathing hard, my hands are sweaty and what I wouldn’t give to run and jump on him. ‘Look away Xiao… look away!’ Finally tearing my eyes from his, and I would like to point out that was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done; glancing down in time to see Jin pull out a lot of money. I know he’s hustling Hwoarang as well; he wants to make sure the money is good enough, so he won’t and couldn’t say no… even if he wanted too. I’m scared for both of them; I’ve seen what both of them can do. I want to leave, but the fighter in me… says no way, we’re going to watch this one to the end! I’m really excited to see this fight; my heart wants Jin to win, and I just want Hwoarang to live.

Looking at Jin is making me hot; oh I’m so going to hell for this! I feel guilty because I came here with Hwoarang; even thou I’m not really here with Hwoarang, I’m just here with him... if that makes any sense at all! Yeah… it didn’t make all kinds of sense to me either! Jin and Hwoarang get in there fighting stance; I’m worried. I know the 2 bodyguards won’t let anything to Jin; but I don’t want either of them to get hurt. Why is Jin doing this anyways!
