Author's note: Tell me what I missed, thank you.
Disclaimer: No.
Lee ended up getting cornered by Nina with her string of words, whilst Anna was just enjoying herself eating cherries on the couch, listening to their conversation. The silver haired man cast unsatisfying glances at the maid standing in the corner, quite ashamed.
"I would've fired her already if I were you."
"Wouldn't that be too harsh?" Lee cracked an innocent smile. "I would decrease her pay though, but that should be enough. Should I find you a new room then?"
" I'd be happy." There was a sarcastic tune attached to her voice as she accepts the next offer, hoping that she wouldn't be booked with another vacant room. When she reached her next room again, she had the urge to backhand slap the maid for she was placed just right next to his room.
"Are you in love with this guy or something?"
The formally dressed young girl bashfully tucked on her skirt. " You mean Kazama Jin? Well, he's very handsome, no?"
Nina rolled her eyes and enters the room, shutting the door.
( Dressing room_)
The silver haired man looked on to his groom's design, flashing himself with Anna beside. Infront of 4 10 feet tall mirrors, the beautiful pair never ceased to amuse anyone in awe.
"Excellent." He smirked
"I love this kimono very much." Turning herself around, she admired the details of flowers printed on the light red cloth, embeded with a phoenix behind. The compliments stopped when Lee's curiosity aroused.
"Is your sister always like that?"
The brunette giggled at this, " Yes, very."
She finds it funny how actually he was offended with the blonde's attitude, but deciding to clear things up for him.
" She has her reasons though. Ever since our dear father had an accident, Nina was forced to grow up quick, giving her the more boss like persona, because she needs to take good care of me. "
The silver haired man blinked his eyes all of a sudden, as if he realized something.
" But honestly speaking, she is a bitch."
Lee chuckled at this, amused with the sisterly love. " I see, well, tonight shall be the big discussion my darling." He planted a gentle kiss to Anna's cheek.
So he had something up on his sleeves later, and pretty much the brunette might agree with him too.
( Evening _ 6:30 )
"..."
"..."
There stands 2 individuals, giving each a look of knitted eyebrows and a frown formed by their lips.
Wearing his spectacles ,dressed in a white collared sleeve shirt with black leather pants, there's no doubt that his well built and strong figure flexes out even more.
In a grey sweater and blue denim jeans, it hugged out her curvacious form more than it usually does, possibly causing any man to take more than one galnce at her.
" Problem?" She folded her arms. The memory fresh as milk milked out from a cow.
"Not at all." His nose shoved high, with his deep amber eyes glaring down at her.
Unable to stand the thought of cracking up a joke. " You know, you might wanna give it a trim." Nina openly referred to his somewhat hairy bird that he had been trying to cover up ever since the shower scene.
Jin lost his composure abit. If looks can kill, Nina would've been dead by now. She is suppose to be glad that he still has a teaching of chivalry and being polite. She looked outside the window and noticed that very place where Lee's limousines were parked.
Empty.
Her blue eyes look at Jin immediately. Calling by his name suddenly, he dare asked how the Irish woman know since they haven't intoroduce themselves ever since the taxi incident.
"How did you know my name?"
"There's a maid that has a crush on you, and she told me about it, my name's Nina by the way." She told him, exchanging. " Seems like your uncle left us."
The raven-haired man shake his head slightly and walked away from the scenario. The blonde immediately questioned his walk away, and he asked her to follow him. When they reached a door that looked unattended and only used as a cover entrance, Jin asked for a key from the butler, and he got it. His footsteps echoed inside the dark room with her heels following behind. The switch went on automatically and there she was, sleeping soundly. Nina immediately fell in love with the beautiful creature. It's polished black cover that shines, the shape and figure, perfection to her eyes. It had always been her dream to own a Tryton MM2, drive it to anywhere she goes, through a rugged up road or a straight highway, showing it off.
"Now that is one gorgeous bike."
The urge to hold the handle and just starts it's engine is tipping over on her finger tips.
Jin went and sat on the vehichle, dusting away anything on it. He inserted the key and the engine purred to life.
"Come on."
The blonde looked at him with a quirked eyebrow. The thought of it and everything, feels wrong.
Jin let out a breath through his nostrils silently. "Just to get a babe on your bike, use chivalry." Lee taught him at one of the events when he was force to work as a waiter. He does not want to remember that awful memory, ever. And he does not want his uncle to know that someone else besides him touched his bike before. This was Lee Chaolan's precious bike and he trust Jin very much with it.
" You were the driver when we had the taxi, so, in exchange, I would like to be the driver, is that fair?"
" You're uncle don't trust me with that bike, please be honest." she did it again, seeing through people like a transparent cling wrapper.
"Sorry. You are a intelligent woman, I'm sure you are not stupid enough to decline seating behind me then."
"No, in fact I am not stupid. That's why, I do not want to wrap my arms around your fat waist." She pointed with her index finger at him, in that pointing manner.
" Do you want to stay behind then." his tune became more stern.
" Your granfather would love to kill you later." and her voice dreaded icy cold.
So both of them stayed silent for a while, a starring battle ensued. Both eyes sharp and intense, and lingered coldness within them. He stood up and get out of the bike while the engine is still purring, taking out a hand as if making a " welcome aboard" sign. Nina, quite surprised immediately walked towards the bike. Finally, she can ride it. But before she knew, she was swept over and in just 2 seconds she ends up seating behind Jin with him starting the engine, with it's roaring. Before she can throw a fit he already sped off, causing her to automatically cling onto him.
They rode down from the hill-like road of his uncle's home. The strong current that had been flinging with Nina's ponytail stop to an abrupt. Both of them looked at the scene that was happening infront of their eyes. Cops surrounded the taxi that had been stolen with the driver demonstrating how everything happened. They decided to take the longer way to Mishima's household without any futher complaints.
Driving at 200 km/h, the strong wind started again. Another 10 minutes was used to appear infront of Jin's grandfather's house. Parked inside of the garden, Nina got out from the bike and re-ties her lose hair. Jin took notice of her hairband, a dull looking black lose rubber. Usually girls or ladies like to prim themselves up, but she was more different.
" You need a new one."
Nina glanced one of her pale blue eyes at him. " They're isn't any other hairbands that I take a liking to, so I'm sticking with this one." Once done, she flipped her ponytail to see if it stable, and it was good. The speed and the wind was too strong back then.
" Thanks by the way."
The Japanese man looked up to meet her smirking gaze. Satisfied with her sudden politeness, he gave her a simple nod.
The room was filled with relatives. Some adopted, some related, and in-laws. All sat in each row and line, while the one that stood out the most was non other than the very first heir, Heihachi Mishima. When Jin slide open the entrance from behind, he tried searching for a person that he had always been wondering about...but again, he was no where to be seen.
He allowed Nina to enter first, telling her to go from that direction and she must seat next to Anna and Lee, who are 2 figures infront of Heihachi. Jin does not feel like meeting his grandfather, and instinctively, Nina knew, and she did not ask any futher questions. After she entered, Jin slide closed the door and waited outside.
The young man had always wondered how his father looked like. Had he haboured any looks from him? When he was a young boy, everybody told him that he had his mother's look, so the answer was no. He wondered why his father had left them, but he might have gotten himself that answer already, as he slowly matures in to a man.
Your father is a good man Jin...maybe someday, you'll get to meet him...I'm..sure..
Said his sickly mother laying on her death bed. Her ebony eyes that used to shine with the sun, now became dull and dark. Jin knew she was lying, but he doesn't want to destroy her wishes to him either. The 15 year old boy saw his mother close her eyes slowly, her eyelashes touching her cheek. And she left with a peaceful smile. The background was filled with soft moans and wails, from the Kazama family. The only Mishima was his grandfather. Not moved or intriuged by the death, he walked towards Jin and stand beside him, grabbing his shoulder.
" Let's go." Heihachi said.
His mother had made a promise with Heihachi, that he will take her son under his wing when she passed away. Jun had been sickly ever since he left them. But the strong woman had pulled through until Jin was a teenager. As they both enter the limousine, Heihachi starts insulting how weak his mother's side of the family was. Jin kept silent as he tried to lock out his cruel words, and the laughter. He knew his mother's soul would not be in peace if he had to hit his grandfather just to venge out his anger.
So he sat there silently, unwilling to let tears stream down his face cause it will do nothing good, or make things better. He stayed in for 4 years, taking his studies at Mishima polythechnics. When he turned 19, he ran away and started a new life in Yakushima. It was ubelievable that he still remembered the route to this house, be it long or short, and how long it have been when he last came here.
He snapped out of his deep thoughts when the doors slide open, everyone coming out, giving wishes and congratulations to the couple.
Suddenly he felt a hand tugged on his sleeve.
"Jin?"
He knew very well who it was. The hand on his left arm suddenly turned into two arms circling around his waist.
"Jin it is you! I know that hairstyle anywhere I go!" She purred her head on his back like a cat. The sensation alone sent Jin goosebumps all over. He still remembered how he was sipping hot green tea when a stray cat suddenly purred on his feet. Jin still remembered how his lap felt like on fire. This time the little chinese girl stood infront of him, pouting.
"Where had you been this entire time? I missed you!" The pig-tailed girl demanded like his worried sick girlfriend.
" It does not concern you."
"Jin! Don't be like that, you should come back to this household, because you have no idea how much you are missing!" She started. " Grandpa Heihachi wants you and me to be engaged, and then we can go to amusement parks, visit our old school and have lots of great times together no?" She smiled. " Together, you and I can be a very happy couple."
The Japanese man just stared at Xiaoyu with a blank face. She immediately stopped smiling.
" ...well, you better still come and visit ok? Please don't disappear like last time." she pouted, quite angry with how Jin is so emotionless. Sometimes the chinese girl wondered how she ended up falling in love with him. The stoic and cool, yet gentle nature that she wasn't able to grasp.
He is just so...
Mysterious.
And she wanted to dig deeper, curious to know. Wanted to see what surprises that can come just by discovering him more. Maybe she could change him, become this very happy man that will laugh with her when they watch comedy movies.
" I need to go." He told her, thinking that Heihachi was coming out soon, and he does not one to meet eyes with the old man again.
Xiaoyu let go of his hands and watched him walked out. She had the urge to start whining and stomp on her feet. It was her bad habit when she didn't get what she wanted. Jin always being by her side.
" So do you frequently come here Lee?"
"No, and I understand where you are going with this. But don't worry Ms. Williams, after the wedding and everything, we barely do come here at all."
Reliefed, she was freed from her worries. Nina can see that the grandfather has that awful aura, and the way he glances at Anna displeases the blonde even more. With that, the brunette and her sister exchange hugs and wishes.
" Don't you want to sit in the limousine with us? I do apologize that I left you back in the mansion."
"Naw, I don't want to disturb you 2." Still somewhat angry, she decides to lean more on forgiving at the end. " I'll go follow Jin."
Satisfied, Lee cracked this wide smile at her.
" Are you actually up to something."
"No, not at all."
The suspicous feeling was back on Nina's throat again. She let it go and struts outside. When she met the young man after stepping out from the gates, she willingly sat on it without futher complaints. Jin quirked a brow slightly, giving Nina a glance at behind.
" Anything wrong?"
" Nothing, now let's go." She ordered.
