When Crossbow Meets Blade

Chapter 1

Ling's POV

     "Ling! Baxia! Guess what!" Zilong called out to us. He seems excited for some reason.

      "What, you found yourself a girlfriend?" Baxia asked.

     "You know Zilong will never get a girlfriend." I replied.

     "Okay, first of all, that's rude. Second, that's not why I called you two." Wow, such sass. "I wanna tell you that we're going to have another member joining us Oriental Fighters!"

     "Oooh! Are they going to be the tiger?" Baxia asked. "Also, I'm hoping this person would be the true beauty of this team!"

     "Hey! Isn't Ling our beauty?" Zilong said.

Childish.

     "Right, Ling. I want you to head to town to the market. Go buy some apples, preferably 5" Zilong said.

   "Why and why?" I replied.  Why apples and why a specific quantity?

    "I heard our new member loves apples! And when she arrives, we can share them among us, including Chang'e!" Zilong replied happily. Have I ever mentioned that he has a mindset of an 8 year old?

    "Wait, what? Our newest member is a girl? Now that's  a true beauty!" Baxia said clapping his hands. Sometimes I feel like I'm the one babysitting these kids.

    "Unless she's ugly" I said, getting ready to head to town. "I'm off, bye"

~~~~~

    Where the hell is this stupid fruit stall?? I look everywhere and all I see is toy stalls, book stalls, clothing stalls.

     One hour has passed and I've decided to give up. I'll just tell Zilong all the apples were bruised, I dont't care.

     I took a turn around a building when suddenly someone bumped into me. A girl dropped her apples from the paper bag she was holding and fell onto the ground.

    "Hey! Watch where you're going, you doof! At least help me pick these up!" she said, squatting down on the ground. I watched as the apples rolled down the road and stared at her. Just then, things seemed to go in slow motion.

    Her eyes were splendid. Yellow, gentle eyes. For some reason, she had tiger marks on her cheeks. Her light brown hair was styled into two space buns. Something about her makes me feel-

    Out of habit, I sighed and said "It's not my fault." Just then, I walked past the girl.

    "Why, why, why, why the hell did I do that?? I could've at least said sorry, goddammit!" my brain said. I tried to ignore what had happened but still couldn't get her out of my head. I don't know what this feeling is called, but I know I've never felt this feeling before.

   "Sigh... just another boring day."

*next morning*

Wanwan's POV

     Ow.... The sunlight, it burnss!! I covered my face with my pillow to block out the sunlight. Man, I wished I closed the windows last night. The birds, or to be more specific, crows were causing a commotion outside. As if they were saying, "caw caw, bitches! Get up!"

     I slowly got out of bed and them remembered! Today is the day I'm meeting up with the Oriental Fighters! I quickly got out of bed and started getting dressed. I took my combat outfit and styled my hair into my usual and favourite hairsyle. Then, I got my crossbows and put them on my arms.
