A/N: Just to answer a question asked in the reviews, the octagon used in the fight scene last chapter was inspired by the one in Death by Degrees. Anyway, I'm surprised by the amount of reviews I've received so far, usually I would only get one review to start with and then get more in later chapters, thanks guys and I'm glad that you are enjoying the story so far. This chapter will have a bit of action towards the end, so hopefully you'll all enjoy it.

Chapter Two: Freeway Horror

The tall building was empty, not even the soldiers wandered around. The corridors were left dark and deserted, but only one floor had sound as the punching of a bag could be heard. It was the only lit room in the entire building, but very few had been brave enough to enter when this particular person was in there.

The punching stopped and as he stood there, an evil smirk formed across Kazuya's lips. Clenching his fists, he brought his arm back before thrusting it forward, hitting the centre of the bag. There was so much force behind it that the bag split in half and the sand fell into a mess on the ground. Retracting his fist, Kazuya wiped the bead of sweat that formed on his forehead and then looked down into his hands. For some unknown reason, he had began to feel the devil within growing stronger by the day, it was beginning to become a large influence.

'I wonder if he feels it too,' Kazuya thought and then chuckled. 'Our blood controls our destinies and it'll only be a matter of time.'

'I can sense the hate flowing through his body,' Devil spoke in his mind. 'Remember that he has my other half.'

'But soon, that power will be mine.'

He was deep within his own thoughts that he didn't notice the woman in the red dress standing in the doorway.

"They told me that you would be in here," that familiar voice spoke, Kazuya hadn't heard that voice for over twenty years.

Smirking, he turned around and looked at the woman. Anna Williams stood there in a short red dress and red high heels. Her brunette hair was still in that bob-cut style and she wore red eyeliner. Unlike her sister who looked more like a goddess, Anna looked more exotic.

"Miss Williams, it's been a while," Kazuya said after a while. "But I wasn't expecting you until tomorrow."

Giggling in her girlish manner, she took a step forward and offered the man a photo.

"I think that you would find this rather amusing."

Raising an eyebrow, Kazuya grabbed the photograph and glanced at it. An evil smile formed on his lips as he saw the two people in the photo, appearing to be getting into a car together.

"I wonder what she's doing with him" he muttered to himself and then looked at the brunette woman. "This could prove to be a barrier for my plans."

"So what are you saying?"

Kazuya handed Anna back the photograph and crossed his arms.

"As of tomorrow, you work for me and my first order for you is to eliminate Jin Kazama by any means necessary," Kazuya stated. "If this photo is true, then there would be a chance that your sister will try and kill me through his orders. We cannot allow that to happen."

Anna smiled. A chance to get even with Nina, she would be stupid enough to refuse the offer. It was the second chance that she was looking for, Nina left her in the middle of the arena refusing to finish her off for good, branding Anna worthless and pathetic. Perhaps being on opposite sides of the war was the perfect setting for a final showdown.

"I'll do whatever it takes," she replied after a while. "I'll stop him and that bitch, but I do ask for a heavy price…"

Kazuya waved his hand.

"Of course, I'll give you the figures in the morning," he said and picked up a towel off the ground. "Come by in the morning and we'll discuss the plan."


The limo traveled through the surrounding mountains to a large villa, a heavily guarded fortress as there were guards everywhere and all were armed with the latest in weapons technology. The gate swung open as the limo approached, gaining it access and it drove straight in. Cobblestone driveway led to a set of concrete front steps and the vehicle pulled up beside it. Nina got out and stood there, peering up towards the tip of the triangular roof. And she thought that she lived in luxury, which was far from the truth as her job took her from place to place which made her unable to find a suitable home, but the truth was that this guy was powerful and could get anything that he wanted.

"I see you've done well for yourself, Kazama," she said in amazement. Jin walked up beside her and looked at a guard.

"Go and inform the maid to prepare the room next to mine for Miss Williams," Jin ordered. The soldier saluted and rushed in. Jin looked at the blonde woman. "I better point a couple of things out for you…" He pointed to a temple-like building to the left of the villa, Nina looked over in that direction. "In there is a small dojo that I built for myself to train in, but you're free to use it whenever you like."

Nina looked at him and gave a small smirk.

"And I thought it was orders not to be out of your sight."

"I'm in there most of the time anyway when I come here on the weekends, but I'm safe in here if my guards are alert," he replied evenly. "Basically you're allowed anywhere in the premises, except for the hot spring down the back, you're only allowed there if someone is with you."

Nina nodded and slung her bag over her shoulder.

"So where am I staying?"

Jin motioned his head and led them inside.

The villa was three stories tall, with a gallery that overlooked the main hall. The carpet was a red velvet colour, so were the drapes. Wooden furniture furnished the entire house and various artworks hung off the walls. Nina couldn't help to feel amazed at this young man's success, it was one of the most captivating houses she had ever been in.

'Hmm, not bad,' she thought as she continued to gaze in wonder. 'Perhaps this is too much luxury for me to handle.'

They managed to reach the third floor to a security coded door. Jin punched in the numbers on the keypad and opened it, pulling the door open and allowed Nina to enter first. Inside was a lounge room, with a spa in the corner of the room. On the far side stood a set of large twin double doors and beside it was a smaller single wooden door. Nina guessed that's where she would be staying.

"You'll be staying in that room, it has another door inside that connects the two bedrooms and allows you to quickly access mine," Jin pointed out and pointed to a door next to the spa. "In there is the bathroom and…" He pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to her. "This is the combination to get into here. Make sure the door is always closed."

The door opened again, revealing a tall, tanned skinned man in a dark suit. His dreadlocked hair was tied back and his eyebrow piercing was gleaming in the light. Nina has seen this man before.

"Eddy, how did it go?"

The man shook his head.

"We tried entering the temple, but my men were wiped out as they approached."

Jin sighed and ran a hand through his dark hair.

"We might have to try again later, but we can't leave it too late as my father might succeed," he said and nodded at Eddy. "Rest up and we'll talk more soon."

Before he left, Eddy looked over to Nina and she met his gaze. He had recognised her and then before either one could say anything, he left. Once the door closed, Nina turned to Jin.

"What's Eddy Gordo doing here?"

"I gave him a top position in the Tekken Force," Jin explained. "He asked me for a favour and then I told him that he needs to repay the debt. But no more on that, I think it's time to call it a night."

Nina nodded. A good night sleep was on top of the order considering that she just fought off a couple dozen of men that night.


Twenty-two years ago…

She awoke with a pounding head. All Nina could remember was her pointing her sniper rifle at Kazuya's head, ready to take the shot. But something stopped, like a blunt force struck her on the back of the head and then she fell limp. Now awake, she found herself in a dark, cold cell awaiting her fate.

The door swung open and the face that she didn't want to see was there, smirking at her failure. Kazuya walked in with a flank of guards either side of him and then he motioned for them to go and pick up the young woman on the ground. They did as they were told and hoisted Nina up onto her feet roughly. Groaning in pain, she quickly narrowed her eyes at the man in front of her as he tilted her head up by a finger on her chin.

"Pathetic," he snorted. "I should kill you right here."

"Just do it then," Nina replied coldly. "I don't give a shit anymore. Even if I lose my life to a heartless coward such as yourself."

With a sneering look on his face, Kazuya backhanded her across the cheek, whipping her head sideways.

"You of all people dare to call me a coward! You tried to murder me with a sniper rifle, perhaps you're mistaken." He grabbed her hair and pulled. "You're the coward, not me." He released her and looked at the guard holding Nina's right side. "Strip her down and take her down to the laboratory, we have some use for her after all."

Within an hour, Nina was stripped down naked and was led down to the underground laboratory of the Mishima Zaibatsu. She was forcefully thrown onto a cold metal slate, despite her struggle but she was too weak to break out their grasp. Chained down by the wrists and ankles, Nina turned her head at the smirking faces of Kazuya and her sister Anna. She struggled against the binds and felt Kazuya's cold presence standing over the top of her.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you," he said snidely. "You will be placed under cryogenic sleep as part of an experiment." Kazuya then motioned his head at Anna. "Your sister had volunteered to do this as well. So you won't be alone."

Nina swallowed deeply. She was to be placed in a deep sleep and it was going to be a while before she would wake up from it. In the first time since her father's death, she was scared. Tears streamed down her face and then the metal slate moved to the side, over blue liquid and Nina could feel the coldness run against the smoothness of her back. It slowly inched over her body as the platform lowered and with one last breath, she held it as her entire body was submerged. It was then exhaled as she felt herself drifting off into deep sleep as her body temperature dropped.


Nina jolted up in bed, waking up from her sleep in cold sweat. Looking around with fear in her blue eyes, she then calmed down in realising where she was. Her breathing slowed from those hitched breaths of shock into more controlled breathing. She looked over to her alarm clock, noticing that it was just before dawn, but regardless of the time she knew that she wouldn't be able to get back to sleep. Instead, she pulled off the covers and swung her legs over the side of the bed and buried her face into her hands.

"Fuck Nina, get a grip of yourself," she muttered to herself. "It happened over twenty years ago, get over it."

Since her awakening from cryogenic sleep over two years ago, Nina slowly began to piece together her lost memories. Constantly plagued by the dreams of fighting her son Steve Fox and then attempting to assassinate him, not being able to do it as she didn't want to kill her only child and the visions of her sister and then the images of before she went into deep sleep. It was haunting, she still remembered when they were stripping her down to her skin. Pulling and tugging at her clothes like there was no tomorrow, they tortured her before they took her to Kazuya. But it was only until recently that she was able to remember everything.

Getting up and stripping out of the tank-top and white pyjama shorts that she wore, she changed into the clothes that she fought in the night before and decided the best way to forget her nightmare would be to sweat it out on a punching bag. Maybe some imagination of inflicting pain on someone might make her feel a little better.

Five minutes later she walked across the cold yard to the dojo and entered. Closing the wooden doors behind her, she saw that Jin didn't have much in there. Three large bags ran down the side of the small room, it was lit by six flame torches and a picture of some karate master, from what Nina could see, hung on the far wall. Taking off her shoes and her coat, she went to the nearest bag and cringed a little at the coldness of the wooden floor. She started a few combinations involving spear-hands and sweep kicks and then progressed to more vicious palm strikes, punching and high roundhouse kicks to the head.

Despite the coldness, after a couple of minutes she began to sweat a little. Stopping her assault, she noticed a katana in the corner and went over and grabbed it. Unsheathing it from its holster, she began swinging and spiralling it gracefully in the air. After a moment, she started to move her whole being, pretending to be in a battle with an enemy. It was a beautiful sight, it was as if she was in her own world and fighting her battles. Enemies had always had trouble trying to keep up with her battle, she was too quick and strong, her weapons skill was nothing short of spectacular.

She kept going for ten more minutes and then she brought the katana overhead and then stuck downwards. Nina held that position for a while and then heard a clap from behind her. Spinning around in fear, she brought the sword around and it stopped within an inch of Jin's throat. Her features softened a little and she brought the sword down to her side.

"I thought you're hired to protect me, Nina?" Jin said with a smirk.

Nina's eye's widened a little and she turned away.

"I'm sorry, but dammit why did you have to sneak up on me like that?"

He laughed a little and walked past her to stand in front of the picture. He knelt down with his fist on his hips.

"I was just admiring the skills of my new bodyguard," he replied and then muttered something. Jin placed his fists on the ground and bowed before standing up. "I must say that I was impressed. You've got talent."

Nina smiled a little.

"Thanks, it comes with the job."

Walking to the centre of the room, Jin stood there and took his black singlet off and was left in a pair of blue sweatpants. Nina stood to the side and watched the man in the middle who then brought the heels of his feet together and clasped his left hand over his right and his eyes were now closed. He whispered something and Nina could barely hear it, instead she continued to watch as Jin opened his deep brown eyes and crossed his arms in front of his face and exhaled deeply. Nina suspected that he was about to begin a kata.

Soon after, he started with two lots of double arm techniques and then followed up with blocking with alternate arms in front of his face. They were quick, smooth-flowing movements and it wasn't long until Nina was mesmerised and felt the energy that the kata produced. The kata slowed for a short moment until the intensity began to build, alternating with blocks and punches and then slowing down with tension before the whole quick motions started again. Turning to the side slowly, the speed picked up again like a fire in the wind and this would continue for a short while longer. As she watched, Nina was further entranced by the atmosphere, forgetting everything else, she even forgot the reason why she was down there in the first place.

Jin finished the kata and stood there in that position, leaning back on his left leg and left hand outstretched in front of him. Returning to the original position that he started out in, he relaxed his muscles and looked to the ground. From afar, Nina could see the small beads of sweat that had formed on his chest and that his breathing was shallow. Obviously he had placed his whole being into that one kata. Just like what Jin did to her earlier, she clapped and his head snapped up and looked at her.

"What?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

Nina smirked and stopped.

"Well I thought that I would give you the same courtesy that you gave me," she said. "Now we're even."

Jin chuckled a little.

"I believe that kata is a great way to cleanse yourself," he explained. "By doing it every morning I can be focussed on what I have to do."

"And what would that have to be?"

There was a look on Jin's face that Nina couldn't fathom at that point of time. Obviously something was on his mind, and she wasn't expecting that at any time soon that he would share it with her. She guessed that she had to trust his intentions.

"All in due time I will tell you," he replied after a while. "But in the meantime, there's some business that I have to attend to at headquarters. Go and change and meet me in the main hall in fifteen minutes."

Jin turned and walked to the door, leaving the blonde woman alone. It wasn't until a minute later that she decided to follow him, but at least she felt remotely better than when she first walked in.

Meanwhile, on a hill outside of the residence a woman in a red cat-suit watched as the blonde made her way across the yard behind the gates. Anna smirked and picked up her radio.

"They'll be coming out soon," she spoke softly. "Keep your position until they leave, then follow them. Leave no survivors."

"Roger that."

Clipping the radio back onto her belt, Anna let out a little chuckle. She was too excited about her new job to even sleep, maybe because she felt like she had a score to settle despite her sister beating her in the tournament.

"You're mine bitch," she uttered. "I have been looking for you for months and you're not getting away from me this time."

Fifteen minutes passed by quickly. Jin was down in the main hall, waiting and thinking about what he saw earlier. He realised now that he had made the right choice in choosing Nina to be by his side, the way that she handled that katana with such precision. He figured that if he wasn't too careful that he could even take him out. That wasn't going to be an option. Hearing footsteps nearby, he looked up the stairs and saw what he had been waiting for. Nina changed into a black blouse, short skirt and high heels, she looked like that she was ready for a day at the office.

Jin's eyes widened slightly as she made her way down the steps towards him. Reaching the bottom and standing in front of him, Nina noticed that Jin was staring at her with a weird look on his face.

"Why are you looking at me like that for?" she asked in her usual cold demeanour. Jin felt himself grow a little hot under the collar and quickly looked away.

"No reason, just…we better get going."

Jin quickly turned away and walked towards the exit. As she watched him, Nina couldn't help but smirk at her new boss' awkwardness.

'Thought he wouldn't be one to lose composure,' she thought before following.


The black limousine was travelling on the main freeway heading towards Tokyo. Traffic was busy as per usual and this had caused congestion, making the traffic flow slower. This caused Nina to become frustrated, knowing that if she had a bike that she would be zooming through the cars. At this rate, they were lucky to even make it to headquarters by the end of the day. Looking at the two men sitting on the other side of her, she couldn't help but ask.

"Is it like this all the time?"

Eddy cast a curious glance at the blonde assassin. Nina could tell from behind his dark sunglasses that he was amused by her question.

"Well we are in one of the busiest cities in the world," he replied. "Hope that answers your question."

Nina snorted and looked back out the window.

"I guess so. I just hate sitting in traffic."

No more was said after that as all traffic stopped moving. Apparently there was an accident just up ahead according to the driver who went and checked the situation, and it would be up to at least an hour before traffic can flow smoothly again. Nina didn't like the situation at all, by just sitting here they could be easily targeted. As she continued to look out the window, she saw a flash in the distance. Her heart jumped a little, feeling the adrenaline jolt through her. Using her instincts, she looked to the other two.

"Get down, now!" she told them and got down low on the ground. Both men looked at each other, confused.

"What do ya mean…" Before Eddy could finish his sentence, a bullet ricocheted through the window, nipping the top of one of his dreadlocks. Finally getting the hint, Jin and Eddy fell to the floor and the gunfire began to increase.

"Shit," Nina cursed and reached down to her thigh, pulling out a handgun from its holster. "First day on the job and we're already caught in the middle of gunfire."

Eddy slipped his hand under the seat and pulled out an automatic rifle.

"We can't stay here," he said calmly. "You two run up ahead and I'll cover you."

Jin kicked open the door and motioned to Nina to follow him. They kept low behind the cars to give them cover. Nina was firing and already knocked down three of the assailants. But it was only a matter of time before they would catch up to them they had to find a fast way out of there.

"Over here!" Jin called out to her. Nina turned around and sprinted towards Jin's location.

He was on a motorbike, already started and ready to go. Jumping onto the bike behind him, she wrapped her arms around his waist and the bike took off at breakneck speed. Gunshots could still be heard behind them as more of them were behind the duo, on bikes and firing their rounds. They were fortunate that none of the bullets hit them as they continued to weave and dodge between the vehicles.

Turning around so that her back was up against his and her left arm was secured around Jin's right side to keep her on, Nina held her gun up and fired. With the remaining bullets in the magazine, she managed to knock down two and there was only one left following them. She placed her finger on the trigger and…

Click…click…

"Dammit!"

Jin glanced over his shoulder at the sound of his bodyguard's cursing.

"What is it?"

Nina turned back around and wrapped her arms around his waist again.

"I'm out of ammo, I should have brought more."

The automatics stopped firing, but when they thought they were in the clear. A loud gunshot was heard and by the time anyone had to react, Nina felt something forceful pierce into her left shoulder. She had been shot.

"Ahhhh! Fuck!" She screamed. Jin looked back quickly, seeing only the blood starting to leave the wound.

"Dammit," he muttered and took an exit ramp off the freeway.

Nina looked back at the enemy, seeing a G-Corp soldier and a person in a red cat-suit.

"That bitch…" Nina muttered. "Stop the bike!"

"Why?"

"Trust me, stop!"

Jin complied and soon they stopped to a screeching halt. Getting off the bike, Nina and Jin watched as their attackers drove up and stopped nearby. The person in red hopped off and pulled off their helmet, revealing her identity. She laughed and pointed at the blonde.

"So you've stopped running," Anna taunted. "At least you've made my job a lot easier."

Jin looked at Nina and then back up at Anna. What was she doing with G-Corporation?

"You couldn't fight me one-on-one, so you had to bring your goons with you," Nina began and shook her head, then clenching her injured shoulder. "You really are pathetic, why are you siding with that bastard anyway?"

Anna let out a girlish giggle.

"Have you ever wondered why you failed to kill him the first time?" Anna asked.

"Yeah, because I was knocked out before I could pull the trigger."

"Exactly, because I was the one who knocked you out," Anna stated, making Nina narrow her eyes at her younger sister. "And you already know the rest. Getting frozen, being pregnant with that bastard son of yours…"

Nina's eyes widened. How in the world did Anna know about that?

"That's enough!" Nina ordered. "Get out of here as the next time I see your face, I will kill you."

Anna giggled and motioned to the soldier.

"As you wish. Next time I won't be holding back." With that, the bike took off and left Jin and Nina there by themselves. Jin looked over to the blonde, who was now sitting on the ground holding her shoulder. Blood seeped through her fingers and he knelt down, taking off his coat and held it over the wound.

"That little bitch," Nina cursed.

"So, she's with my father," Jin said and glanced at her. "Why didn't you kill her?"

Nina shook her head.

"I don't know, probably because she's not worth the effort," she replied, wincing at the pain. "Hence the reason why she didn't die a long time ago."

Jin wanted to know more…about what happened between Nina and Anna, why she was going to kill Kazuya and about her being placed under cryogenic sleep. He was going to ask until…

"Jin!"

The raven-haired man snapped his head up and watched as Eddy ran up to them, with a couple of Tekken soldiers with him. Standing up, he crossed his arms.

"It was G-Corp, wasn't it?"

The tall Brazilian nodded.

"Yes, that's nothing new, boss," he replied and looked down at Nina. "What happened?"

Jin waved his hand.

"No time to explain, we have to get her to the medical wing immediately before she loses too much blood," he explained. "I'll take her, you go with these men to ensure that there were no innocent casualties. Then return to headquarters."

Eddy nodded.

"Yes, boss."

When they left, Jin lifted Nina off the ground with ease and walked her to the motorcycle, sitting her on it before getting on behind her. Powering it up, he took off down the road. Shootings and assassination attempts, they were just a part of his daily life. It was just another day in the office.


A/N: Not easy being a bodyguard for a man with great power, and Nina found that out the hard way. Oh well, you can't have both of the sisters in a story without having them firing shots at one another. Keep an eye out for the next chapter, I'm in the middle of writing it at the moment.
