Author's Note: Hey guys! This is kokorodouglas here. This fanfic was basically a spur of the moment thing based off of "Sweetiex2". There's a surprising lack of AsuLili fanfics, despite how heavily hinted at it seems to be within the games ^^;;; Anyways, this is my first fic, and I hope you guys enjoy! Remember to do the whole review thing, especially if something seems off. All the good stuff will be coming next chapter, btw.

Gazing up at the canopy suspended above her, an auricomus girl runs her hands over newly acquired cuts and bruises; The expense of pursuing a less than appropriate hobby for a young lady of her status. Light, flawless skin was something of the past. Lili didn't mind these scars as much as the others, however. Less than a day ago, her own skin had made contact with Asuka Kazama's slightly tanner counterpart. One could say it had been staged, the same as all of her meetings with the older Japanese fighter were. It would never happen just by chance, of course; It was as if Lili needed to cast a spell to just to interact with her. The dusk haired student giving attention only when she was annoyed, and her affluent self seemingly stalking her everywhere. There's no way that could count as any sort of love, now could it?

There was no need for her to be her classic "bitchy", "spoiled", and "arrogant" self anymore, as there was no one around to witness her in such a state of weakness. Every word was like a stab to the chest, especially when heard with Asuka's charming voice. It had an effect on Lili that none of the other competitors experienced; On the other hand, it wasn't as though any of the other competitors had a lesbian crush on a fellow fighter who they continuously lost to, either. Lili was all for a good fight, usually enjoying any blow she was careless enough to be hit with, as it only reminded her to change her strategy. Every strike she received from the doe-eyed Asuka Kazama, however, whether it be an open palm or a roundhouse aimed at her head only made her hurt. It wasn't the strikes themselves, but the fact that they were meant to hurt her that made the pale eyed girl feel so vulnerable. What started with lusting for a win soon turned into lusting for her rival insead.

Despite the overwhelming feelings she was experiencing, Lili's mind couldn't help but drift to places they shouldn't have been. "It would be so pleasant to simply be friends with Asuka Kazama...M-maybe that would make me close enough to be able to call her 'Asuka'? We would go to the mall together, do each other's hair, and maybe we would even be able to hold hands, and I could take her out to a nice dinner, and then-" She shook the thoughts out of her head, finding herself with a pillow pressed against her body. "What am I thinking? It's much too late for me now. Though I suppose it won't do any harm to just see her from afar for a few more days..."

Ringing a bell on her vanity, she was greeted with Sebastian's quick arrival.

"Sebastian. Prepare a trip to Osaka for around two weeks. There's no need to pack heavily; Only a third of my wardrobe will be needed."
