Tekken Fan Fiction ❯ Jin and Xiaoyu love story ❯ Alone ( Chapter 18 )

Jin’s POV

I can see Xiaoyu coming toward the closet; wonderful she’s going to catch me, and I have no idea what I would use as an excess. I move into a corner, hoping she doesn’t see me; and luckily for me Xiaoyu seems too deep in thought to notice anything out of order. She grabs a pink skirt and a black top with her favorite boots; I bet she is going to look cute! But I wonder where she is going… I need to follow her.

Watching her get dressed is exciting; I feel like I’m living dangerously. But all good things come to an end; she puts on the clothes and leaves the room; good that’s my queue to leave! Hearing the door close, I wait a few minutes; I don’t want her to come back forgetting something, and catch me. When I’m sure she’s gone; I get up from the closet floor and walk out of the bedroom.

Rushing to my bedroom and grabbing my things; I’m going to see what she is up too today. I feel like a stocker; but it’s Xiaoyu… it’s okay! Throwing on my coat and walking past her bedroom, toward the door. “Master Kazama” the butler said; I don’t really have time to talk, but I’m still going to give him my attention. “I saw Miss. Ling this morning” he says; I’m suddenly very thankful I gave him my full attention. “Really? What did she say?” “I asked Miss. Ling if she was alright… she was interested in you thou.” That was good news; I’m sure the butler could see my mood perk up. “What did you say” I wanted to know everything “Tell me everything!” His expression was one of surprise, but I knew he wouldn’t deny me; “I asked Miss. Ling if she was off for the day. I made mention that you slept in the dojo and asked if something bad happen last night.” “What did she say” my eyes were on high, I wanted to hear everything as soon as I could! “Miss. Ling answered yes; and I told her not to worry Master Kazama loves you.” “And” I asked; the butler stepped back. “Miss. Ling asked how I knew this.” “Yes I would like to know how you know this;” I mean come on… I’m dying to hear the answer. “When you look at her Master Kazama… your eyes tell your love for her.”

That set my mind; was it that obvious? I didn’t realize people could see the love I hold for Xiaoyu. My thoughts were interrupted when he said; “Miss. Ling replied hoping I was right because she loves you, more than anything else in the world.” Xiaoyu loved me; I’d almost forgotten that she loved me. She‘d almost told me once; I never told her how I felt. And I sealed the deal by leaving for 3 weeks with no word. Backing against the wall, I needed a minute to think this thru; could Xiaoyu left me… because she doesn’t think I love her? I need to find her and tell her that I want to be with her… that I love her. Could something that easy, be so hard for me? I told my mother on a regular basic that I loved her; but could this really be the reason? It sounds dumb too me; but then I’m not a girl… so maybe?

Standing on my own again; “Thank you” I say to the butler and leave the mansion. I know where she is and maybe I’ll need to do some fighting; I better wait for the bodyguards this time. Not that I can’t take care of myself… but this is something I haven’t done before. Finally everyone is ready and we drive to the mall; she’s at the arcade and most likely hanging out with Hwoarang. Which I don’t want to see, but I bet she is going to spend time with him; or watching him hustle someone. And this is going to be that day; I present myself to be hustled!

Watching her leave the mall on Hwoarang’s motorcycle… is weird. I don’t like it; she should be with me… not him. I tell myself over and over again to be patient; I already know she loves me, not him. So I can stand to wait a little longer; she is going to be leaving with me!

We waited in the car while Hwoarang did his thing; Xiaoyu seemed to be having a good time. Boy was she surprised when she saw me; her expression was caught between why I am here and that look she gets when were about to kiss. Hwoarang is talking to her; no doubt talking about me, he won’t stop looking at me. I can’t help but look at her; she’s not only beautiful, but she belongs to me! When she takes her eyes from me; I hear the bodyguard call me. Yes I want to fight Hwoarang; I don’t really know why I’m doing this. Maybe I want to teach him a lesson or just test my skills; maybe both. But I’m starting to get excited about this fight; I want to do this… this could be the start of something fun!

Getting in our fighting positions; my blood is boiling! Hwoarang is looking at me and he doesn’t realize he just met his match and more! Glancing at Xiao fast; she looks worried, but I wonder if it’s for me or Hwoarang? It can’t be for me… she knows what I can do and who I am. Getting my head back to this fight, and I am going to have a good time!

Xiaoyu’s POV

This fight has been going on for hours I swear; well not really but it feels like it. I’m a fighter and I’m tired for both of them; and Jin’s form is still good. Hwoarang is tired and it shows; I don’t think he’s having fun anymore. I wish I had the money Jin bet; but to actually give him. I know that’s why he isn’t stopping or giving up; but then again… he does smile every now and then. Maybe he is having a good time too and he won’t stop because he doesn’t want to lose? This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with money.

After another 10,000 hours; the fight was finally called as a draw. They both were tired and had something was bleeding; I want to run to Jin, but I don’t know if that’s the right thing to do. So instead of sticking around to see what happen after the draw, I tip toe out of there. I didn’t see if the bodyguards were watching and it didn’t matter; I just wanted to get out of there.

The fight was so good; Jin and Hwoarang had an answer for every kick or pouch each other sent. I didn’t think I’d ever find someone that could hold his own with Jin; and to think… Jin is only getting better! Wow… he is going to be crazy good! Looking up at the mansion; I have mixed emotions. Maybe because of the long walk and I’m tired and hot? Or maybe because I know Jin is in there… or at least I think he’s in there!

What am I going to say to him; he saw me with Hwoarang. I hope he does not misunderstand or think I am disrespecting him. Oh I don’t want to go inside; maybe I can sit outside or take a walk. Yeah that’s a good idea… take a walk! Walking past the mansion to the back to hopefully get lost in all the trees; I don’t want to face Jin. Forget the fact he saw I was there with someone else… I can’t face him. Even when they were fighting, I wanted to be with Jin. I wanted to be sitting on Jin’s side. This walk is getting longer than I wanted; but I can’t stop.

Rolling my eyes and throwing my hands into the air; “Are you alright Xiao?” Closing my eyes, I know that’s Jin and it’s coming from behind me. He sounds okay… maybe it was the right thing for him, that we broke up. That breaks my heart even more; I was hanging on to the butlers words. “Why will you not face me Xiao?” I don’t know what to say, my eyes are burning and my nose is already running! How can I face him and act like it was the right thing to do… end our relationship.

I was wondering when he was going to make me face him; “Xiaoyu… you’re not okay… are you?” Taking a deep breath; “No… not really.” His eyes are stunning and flawless; I want to be inside them. His expression is confused and something…; “I don’t want to hurt you or you to be hurt Xiaoyu… but I need to tell you something.” “Why were you there today” flew out of my mouth before I even realized it? Oh yeah Xiaoyu… that’s the way to start things. Glancing at the ground; “I wanted to see you… and I wanted to be hustled. Why were you there? I see it took you a whole 12 hours to get over me.” “That’s not true” I yell at him “I went to Hwoarang because I wanted to feel pretty and wanted!” “I didn’t do that for you” his voice still calm “Why didn’t you just tell me you want to see someone else!” Tears are rolling down my face and I can’t look at him; “I don’t want to see someone else” yelling at him; stepping to him and hitting his chest; “I love you more than anything!” Finally pushing away from him; “What do you want me to do? I know you don’t love me; I know you don’t want any future with me! You tell me how I’m supposed to love you when I know you don’t love me!” My tears are drying and my anger is taking full effect; but his facial expression is surprised.

Jin grabs my head and brings me to his chest; wrapping his arms around me and keeping me close to him. I can’t help but close my eyes and get lost in his scent; “Xiaoyu… I’m sorry for hurting you. I don’t want you to see anyone but me… I love you with all my being!” Bring my fist up and hitting his chest again; I love him so much and I hated going thru all this pain, so he can tell me now that he loves me!

Jin grabs my shoulders and pulls me from him; “Xiaoyu… I want you to see only me! I love you and don’t want you to be with anyone else!” Looking up at him; “I want that too.” I’m drained; all my energy is gone and I think my legs are going to give out. He scoops me into his arms and takes me to my bedroom; laying me on the bed, he goes to leave. “No Jin… please don’t leave me” I beg. He looks at me and lies with me; cuddling to his chest I say; “I’m so sorry Jin… please forgive me. I don’t want to be without you… I love you.” His arm wrap around me and I feel his kiss on my head; he makes himself comfortable on the bed and I hear him say “Good night my love….” Closing my eyes and falling into slumber with Jin beside me, is all I want!

Sometime passed and the tournament is over. Jin went missing. Only now do I understand what it means to be without him and alone.
