Tao walked inside the rooms, looking for his childhood friend, Jackie, whom he had not seen in a long time since his journey all over the earth. First, he would have to start searching for a free room, but he is starting to think that all of the rooms are taken. In search of a room, he walked up to a well-dressed man and tap him lightly on the shoulder, causing him to turn around. "Is there a free room?" Tao asked. The man responded. "I believe there is one. I'll lead you." The man led the way. "Xie xie." Tao responded with a bow as he began following him to the room. When they finally got to the room, the man opened the door for him, and Tao went inside. He bowed to the man once more. He began exploring his new room, even sitting his butt down on the couch. He began to like his new room.
Suddenly, he heard a knock. Tao got off of his couch and walked to the door, turning the knob and opening it to reveal...his old friend, Jackie Lei! He was completely surprised to see his old friend again after all these years! "Jackie! I haven't seen you in forever!" He exclaimed as he embraced his old friend in a deep hug. She remembered that he saved her from some thugs when she was a little girl, and that inspired Jackie to learn martial arts, namely Tai Chi. She then returns the hugs. "Bailong! Of course! How could I ever forget you!" She lets go and smiles. "I FINALLY GOT ADOPTED BY MY REAL FATHER!" She jumps with joy.
After the hug, Bailong placed his left palm on his left hip, smiling. "So how've you been?" He asked, knowing how long it was since they've seen each other. Jackie takes a seat on the couch, holding the trumpet close. "I learned martial arts! I snuck out to take Tai Chi classes, and I'm a formidable foe." She looks away a little nervously. "I also play a trumpet, Father bought this for me." She holds it very close and then turns to face Bailong. "Would you like to hear me play a song?"
"Don't see why not." Tao walked back into his room and sat back down on his couch. He might be interested with his old friend's skill in the trumpet.
Jackie then quivered a little, breathing in before she began to play. She played the Rocky Theme, but squeaked several notes in the process, apologizing for the fact that she didn't warm up, but she was able to hit the high note. After she got done she put the instrument away from her face. "I like Rocky. So I played the song that plays when he trains."
Impressed by her technique of the trumpet, Bailong clapped repeatedly, therefore applauding his old friend for her performance "Marvelous! I'd like to meet Rocky too!" Jackie nods. "Of course, I do, too." She then remembered something. "My uncle is Steve Fox! The middle-weight champion of the world!" She proudly declares. "He's not biologically my uncle, though." She grins once more. Jackie then sets her trumpet down on a table she had an idea. "Well, since you saved my life back there, nearly five years ago... and I'm much stronger... are you up for some sparring?" Jackie shakes her hand out, stretching her wrist muscles. "I may be little, but I'm tough!"
A fight, she says. Tao had never thought he'd hear that. "I thought you never asked." Letting out a smirk, Tao cracked his knuckles and got off of his seat, initiating in his fighting stance with his right leg far back and his left leg a bit forward, his right palm cocked at the back of his hip and his left fist sticking out. This will be a good spar, and a good spar indeed. Jackie smirks as she does the same. She sticks her left foot forward as she sends her left palm facing her opponent as she has her elbow bent. Her right palm faced outward as well, as she held it at her waist. She was fired up and ready to go. She paid close attention to detail of her surroundings. It will come in handy. Being very generous Jackie welcomes a first attack to her opponent's stomach. A fast right palm to his solar plexus, testing his skills. Unfortunately, Bailong dodged the attack and came back, stomping the ground and at the same time of the stomp, thrust forward both his left palm at Jackie's chest, and the right upturned palm at her stomach, sending her rolling backwards.
Managing to get up, Jackie gets back into her stance to send a Rave Spin Kick to her opponent, which began to hit its mark as his back slammed down the solid ground. He managed to get back up and into his stance, letting his whole body spin around while his right fist sticks out, letting the back of his fist hit Jackie's collarbone, in which she backflipped from and quickly does her Spinning Top Kick at an attempt to knock her opponent down. In response, Bailong backflips away from the attack, and when seeing Jackie handstand back into her stance to send a forward kick to his shoulder blade, he began throwing his right forearm up to block the kick and come up with an attack of his own. After blocking the kick, he lowered his upper body along with his right fist, moving forward before letting his whole body rise up and his right fist rocket up at Jackie's chin, sending her flying and hitting the ground.
Bailong is really a tough guy. No wonder those thugs ran away, but she had to give him her all, so that he understands that Jackie doesn't need anyone to protect her from thugs in Hong-Kong. Once she hits ground, she gets up and does a Power Slide followed by a Double Palm Strike. Unfortunately for her, Tao leapt up off the ground to avoid her Power Slide, swinging his arms around as he does so. Upon the jump, he lifts his left knee up, and then switches legs as he continues to turn kicking all the way around in a semi-circle with the right foot, landing the foot on Jackie's head, knocking her down. But the attack was unsuccessful; she was able to block it, and quickly found herself near a wall. Jackie then runs up the wall to climb up it and jump on the table. She then leapt down against Tao, butt-first, slamming her rear end onto Tao's chest with a cute 'BOING' sound. Luckily, he managed to recover from the attack by getting up and charge at Jackie behind her at a full run, letting his left leg send out a barrage of kicks; a low kick at her shin, a mid kick at her back, then a left high kick at the back of her skull, a repetition of the mid kick, and repeat. After so many kicks, Tao would lift his leg up, letting his foot collide at her rear-end, sending her slamming down on her stomach.
After taking many kicks from Tao, Jackie lands on the ground face-down. That took a hefty blow out of her, but she isn't finished. She had to show off another attack. Getting back up, Jackie quickly initiates her One-Two-Jawbreaker to War Hammer attack to her opponent. Managing to block her double blow, and also attempting to backflip from her Jawbreaker attack, in which he was successful. Before she could prepare her War Hammer attack, while preparing his, Tao slid his right foot forward and thrust out both palms at both sides, but with his right palm connecting at Jackie's chest, which pushed her back a few inches as she falls back on her butt. Sitting back up, she lets out a sigh of exhaustion. Why did she feel tired already? Well, she already gave Bailong a taste of her moves. She stays seated, as she crosses her legs. "You are very strong... I wish I was strong, too..."
She shakes her head, but smiles. "But I'll get there eventually!" She then stands up, dusting off her teal shorts underneath her purple qipao. "It's good to see I still have some friends who are still alive... Perhaps we can form a tag team... we should train together to perfect our moves... then we'll be unstoppable!"
Bailong was quite surprised. A tag team. His left hand would rub his chin, giving a questionable look. He had never heard an idea like that come from her of all people. "You know what? That's not a bad idea at all!" Jackie was very excited about this. "If only I knew where my father went to, you'd be able to meet him... My father is the Supercop." She whispers as she winks."But of course, I have to show you my STUPID, STUPID, STUPID brother..." She rolls her eyes. "I kinda feel sorry for him though. Having a mentally unstable gwai por mother... being a jap jong... I mean, blood is thicker than water..." She then puts her left hand on her forehead. "Poor boy went to look for his suicidal mother. Even though I hate that witch, I think it's sad she wants to end her own life."
Tao, while listening to her story, goes to the refrigerator and takes out a pitcher of tea and places it on the table, then, he opens the cupboard for a mug, which he picks up and places on the table. With both items acquired, he pours the tea into the mug and puts the pitcher back in the refrigerator. Tao, with the mug of tea in his hand, sits back on his couch, sipping on his tea "I know. Mothers can be so insane."
"I'm a little jealous. I wish I knew my own mother. As far as I've been told, she died before I was born. Father says that he had no idea the doctors extracted me out of my mother's womb. I believe my grandfather got mad at my mother for getting pregnant with my father... probably didn't approve, but it is a sad tale..."
She sits down on the couch next to Bailong. "I'll get to see her one day, but not now. I want to live to be a cop, to honor my mother and father." As Jackie sat beside Tao, he began to put down his mug of tea, feeling a strange feeling inside him; his palms were sweaty, butterflies were running down his stomach, the bright red blush on his face. "My mother died before I was born too, and I want to honor my father as well. He's a friend of your father's. We have...so much in common."
It's like he was attracted to this friend of his. Is it...love? Jackie looked interested. "Really? Your mother died, too?" She takes a deep breath. "Wow, small world..." She then notices the redness of Bailong's face, and his sweating palms. What could this mean? "Are you okay?" She looked very concerned and worried for her friend. "You look feverish." Tao took a deep gulp...a sign that he must come clean, confess his love to Jackie. His left hand would grab her wrist, looking at her deeply in her eyes. "There's...something I must tell you." Jackie felt him grab her wrist. She somewhat feared what he was going to tell her. "Go on, I'm listening."
Jackie hoped that Bailong wasn't terminally ill or had epilepsy or something like that. She wanted him to be healthy. She really enjoys this boy's company... she can't recall the last time she ever felt this comfortable being around a boy. "I'm...in love with you." Finally. After many years of being shy around her, he said those words for the first time to Jackie. If she accepts his feelings, then their love may be true forever. Those words ringed in her head. Jackie couldn't believe it. She didn't know anybody felt that way about her. Really? Jackie's cheeks redden as she turned slightly to the side. Jackie did secretly have somewhat of a school girl crush on this boy. Ever since he saved her many years ago, Jackie became infatuated with this boy... but he had strong feelings for her? Could this be fate's doing? She then faces the young man, her fist curled up in front of her lips. "I... really like you, too..." Her lashes fluttered after she said this.
"Really?" Tao questioned as he closed his eyes, leaned his head forward, pressing his lips lightly on her cheek. The kiss was soft. It showed his love for her, literally. Jackie wasn't sure what to do after the soft kiss on her cheek. She felt it, and wanted to give back to Bailong. She has secretly seen Alece and Lei kiss each other, on accident. She thought she'd probably borrow that move. Jackie closes her eyes, kissing Bailong's lips. She was starting to understand why most girls act the way they do.
Tao's eyes widened by the kiss. The blush had came back on his cheeks, but closing his eyes and embracing the kiss might wear away the blush. In doing so, his left hand began to caress Jackie's neck, pulling her closer. Their friendship turned to love...Jackie pulled in closer with Bailong. She couldn't help it. She had no idea what she was feeling, but it almost felt as if she was on fire. This is her first kiss, her first one. Perhaps their fathers would be happy to know that their children are seeing each other. She then puts her hand over Bailong's hand on her neck as her other hand lays Bailong on the couch. His hands were warm, very warm.
Tao's hands managed to find a way through Jackie's round butt, moving his hands slowly and feeling on it, rubbing it softly and embracing his lover during the kiss. Jackie began to giggle at his touch."Ooh!" Bailong's thoughts run through his mind, "Whoa. She does have a nice butt." Realizing what he's doing is wrong, his hands released her butt and they pushed each other off. They did like each other, but they figured they were moving a little too fast. Jackie's face was red. She never realized how pretty she is. Her dad wasn't kidding when he said Jackie was beautiful. She then rests her head against Bailong's chest, snuggling. "Would cuddles be fine?" Jackie really can't believe she said that... but that's how she felt.
Tao felt the same way too. As Jackie's head rested on his chest, she began caressing her pretty head. He meant it literally, telling by the touch. He wanted to tell her how she felt. "Cuddles is fine. Sorry if I touched your butt. I get too sexually aroused when a girl's body is on me." Jackie's thoughts run in her mind, "So he really does acknowledge me as a woman... that is a first..."
"Don't worry. It's hormones. It's normal in the human body. Don't have them, something's wrong with you." She listens to Bailong's heart beat. It made her forget about her Father's disappearance. It also made her forget the troubles she had lately. Even made her forget she was even in Japan. She was lost in her own world. Jackie even forgot she was hungry. Tao's hand would continue caressing the top of her head. After that, his lips would press against her forehead lightly. Noticing his heart beat, he began stating... "It must be my heart speaking."
"The heart does speak for itself. Quite often." Jackie continues to listen to it beat. It was so steady and in time... she could use Bailong's heart as a metronome when she plays her trumpet, but it stopped. The beating stopped. Tao's left hand grabbed ahold of her wrist once again and looked once more into her eyes. "I want you to stay with me, Jackie. Forever." Those words were spoken calmly as his lips pressed against hers warmly with his eyes closed. This showed that he really meant those words, and by the bottom of his warm heart.
Jackie blushed when she heard those words. She didn't know how to react. She knew they wouldn't be able to see each other much. Not to mention, Jackie is sure that her dad wouldn't approve. "I want to, but I can't..."
"It's okay. I didn't mean the 'forever' part. What I mean by those words, except forever, is for you to...be my lover..." Tao's lips had began to tremble after uttering those words passionately and calmly. This was the first time he had a lover. Jackie then understood what Bailong was saying. She thinks she can manage. Perhaps they can keep in touch by email, or maybe their dads can hang out together so the two can meet. Jackie kept in mind that she needs to wait until she's 16 before she does anything. "I can try to make it work... Maybe your dad can stay in Hong-Kong with us." She then gets up stretching as she yawns.
Tao had told her the truth about his father. "Actually, he was killed by Kazuya. I enacted revenge since then." That is the reason why Tao went to enact revenge on Kazuya. He hoped that she would be disappointed by what he said and feel sorry for him. Tao drooped his head down, looking down in sadness. The memories of his father...training together... He wants to relive those memories with the ones he cares about.
"Oh? I'm very sorry..." Jackie could almost understand how Bailong felt. She hasn't lost her dad, but she knows how tough it would be on her if her father had died. "Maybe my father can help you... maybe you can go back to Hong-Kong with us..." Tao's head would lift up to reveal a joyful smile at his old friend turned girlfriend. "That would be swell." He would lift himself up off his couch. It was very nice of her to get him back in his home of Hong-Kong. "I need to find my father, though." Jackie wondered where her dad wandered off to. She really wanted him to meet Bailong. She couldn't tell him that he was her boyfriend, he'd freak out. "I don't know where he is. He kind of went missing... He isn't answering his phone..." Jackie checks her phone. "He hasn't called back yet, either..."
"Let's investigate. You coming?" Bailong holds his hands out and Jackie grabbed ahold of it as he approached the door and turned the knob, and opening it, therefore leaving Bailong's room.
