Chapter 2: Afraid

Nezha runs through his stretching routine, waking his stiff muscles from their sleep when the door creaks open.  “Get lost?” Nezha quips, unable to keep the scorn out of his voice, not even bothering to turn to face her. “No,” Rin’s voice scoffs from behind him. “I wanted to prove to you I don’t need a full hour to kick your ass.” Nezha finally turns to face her, taking her in. Rin is standing just inside the doorframe, arms crossed, her short hair tied half up, her signature scowl etched on her face. Nezha grins at her which only deepens her scowl. This will be so much fun.

That's the beauty of learning a new language. It should feel like an enormous undertaking. It ought to intimidate you. It makes you appreciate the complexity of the ones you know already.

[...] Rin looks across the battlefield.  Nezha’s Gyarados snakes around him, cerulean scaled with large, contorted fangs, and its long body stretches far above its trainer. Together they are the picture of Nikaran beauty, equal parts elegant and cruel.  Nezha looks at Rin. Only at Rin.

rin and nezha meet at sinegard academy. in their rivaling pursuits to be nikan's strongest pokemon trainer, they can't seem to stop meeting after that.

Nezha hates second place. He grew up in second place behind his brother, but Sinegard Academy was supposed to be different. It was supposed to be his chance to prove he is the best. So when he gets second place behind Rin (of all people) in the First Combat Year Tournament, he realizes he has to do something drastic to earn first place: train with the only person who can beat him.

Chapter 1: I Should Hate You

Nezha wants to go home.

After a year at Sinegard, he misses Arlong. He misses the labyrinth of rivers connecting his city together. He misses the feel of the warm breeze coming off the water. He misses the shipyards that were filled with boats he wanted to sail. He misses the green and blue hues of the city. He misses the cliffs that he liked to walk too close to the edge of.

But Sinegard only offers him four days off for the Summer Festival, which is not enough time to traverse from Sinegard south to Dragon Provenance and back. So instead, he is stuck interacting with the only part of home he does not miss: his brother. 

“You lost to a dirty peasant from Rooster?” Jinzha sneers. 

Nezha bows his head, ducking away from his elder brother. He knew what to expect when he stepped foot in the comparatively-small-to-Arlong home the Yin family owned in the Jade District. His family isn’t known for their warmth and affection. Even if he had won, he would have been lucky to even hear congratulations from his brother. Winning is expected. Second place? Forbidden. 

When Rin pummeled him to the brink of death, Nezha wished she had just finished the job, sparing him the humiliation of hearing his family’s disappointment. But Jinzha’s lecture will be just a warm up for the verbal lashing he will get from his father. That is if his father is not too repulsed to even look him in the eye. 

It won't be the first time his father shuts out Nezha.
