Hey all. Sorry it's taken me so long to update this thing, I've been extremely busy. Anyway, I hope you all had a good Christmas etc etc, and I hope that you all enjoy reading this. I have a little bit of a surprise at the end of this chapter, but don't read too much into it ok lol.
Chapter 7: So It Begins
Jin sat down on the
sofa, he had the worlds largest headache. He thought about his plan,
with Hwoarang on his side, it might just work. Of course, he should
have known better than to trust him, but he really had no choice, he
would just have to be on his guard when around him, because knowing
Hwoarang, he'd come up with some plan to escape, just to piss him
off.
"Are you alright?" said Ling, as she sat down
beside him, Jin turned to face her,
"Yeah I'm fine, bit of
a headache, that's all. Why did you come back? I thought you were
supposed to stay there at the warehouse" he said, Ling
shrugged,
"Yeah, I know, but I didn't trust Hwoarang, I know
what he's like, he could have hurt you, again, I didn't want that to
happen" she said, resting her hand on Jin's. He quickly pulled
it back, and jumped up,
"I er, have to... um take a shower!"
he stammered, and ran into the bathroom. Ling watched him go, and
smiled,
"Phase one...complete"
Jin stood in front
of the mirror,
"Ok Kazama, get a grip man. You like her, so
why the hell did you run away when she touched you? God you're SUCH a
fool! " He said to himself. He splashed water on his face, and
turned to go through the door, "Ok Jin, nothing to worry about,
just tell her, yeah, just tell her, or just touch her, do SOMETHING!"
he said. He took a deep breath, and walked into the sitting room...
Meanwhile, back at the
warehouse, Hwoarang and Heihachi were deep in conversation,
"Thank
you Hwoarang, you've done the right thing in telling me, it shouldn't
be too hard to dispose of them both" said Heihachi, he turned to
face Hwoarang, a grin stretched from ear to ear. Hwoarang didn't like
that look, not at all.
"Well, I thought it might give you a
little more time to decide what to do if you knew what they were up
to. Although the plan is almost fool proof, I'm sure there is a way
to get around it" he said, grinning slightly, everything was
going to plan. The meeting was a very brief one; Heihachi had
dismissed him after an hour or so. Hwoarang had gone to his hotel
room and promptly climbed into bed, it didn't take long for him to
fall asleep.
Hwoarang tried to go
back to sleep, but an annoying ringing kept him awake, he tossed and
turned, this way and that, trying to ignore it. He sat up, and
sighed,
"God damn that telephone!" He reached over and
picked up the receiver,
"Did you do what I asked?" came
the voice
"Hello to you too Jin" said Hwoarang
coldly.
"Well, did you?"
"Yeah, I did it, he
thinks you're going to try and ambush him etc etc, like you
said"
"Excellent, see you tomorrow, by the way, you do
know where to meet don't you?"
"Yes, I know where to
meet, I aint as dumb as you, remember?" spat Hwoarang,
"What
ever, see you tomorrow"
"See you..." the line went
dead "Tomorrow...yeah, what ever Jin" said Hwoarang,
placing the receiver back. He turned over, and fell into a troubled
sleep.
"Well, has he done it?" asked Ling as Jin
returned;
"Yeah, he's done it." came the reply. Jin
sighed, and sat down next to Ling, who scooted up closer to him, he
smiled at her, and put his arm around her,
"So everything's
going to plan?" she asked excitedly,
"Yup, it's all in
motion now Ling, we're gonna take Heihachi down" said Jin, there
was a slight smile on his face as he hugged Ling.
"I still
can't believe that you've got him to help you do this, he is your
enemy after all, and he's working for Heihachi, you're very trusting
aren't you?"
"Well yeah, I guess, but after that talk I
had with him yesterday, turns out he hates Heihcahi as much as I
do... so we have an unfair advantage"
"How so?"
"Well,
Heihachi only has himself, he thinks Hwoarang's on his side, but
really he's on our side. So three people to one, think about it."
said Jin, Ling nodded,
"Ah, I see...cool" she said.
"So
you see, it's fair for us, but unfair for him"
"But what
if Hwoarang isn't really on our side, what if he's gone and told
Heihachi what we're REALLY going to do, instead of the other thing"
said Ling, jumping up, Jin could see the panic in her eyes,
"Don't
worry," he soothed," you think that I haven't already
considered that? If he has done then I have a back up plan, always
wise to have one of those" he laughed softly. Ling sighed,
"Ok,
if you have, then I guess I'm gonna have to trust you on that one,
aren't I?" she said, sitting down beside Jin,
"Looks
like it, doesn't it" said Jin, he smiled and hugged her tight...
everything was working out fine... for now.
Hwoarang woke with a
start; he'd just been having the weirdest dream. He looked at the
clock on the table beside his bed, two fifty-six am. He groaned, and
rolled over, trying to fall back to sleep. But, to no avail. He
tossed and turned for what seemed like hours, finally, he sat up, and
sighed,
"This is pointless" he said to himself as he
fought with the sheets and managed to climb out of bed. He stretched,
his muscles aching. He wandered over to the window, and opened it, he
let the rush of cool air engulf his naked body, waking him up a
little.
"Why the hell are you working with Jin man?" he
said to himself "Why? He's like, your enemy. Although, he DOES
hate Heihachi, as do I, so, I guess it's ok" he continued.
"Who
are you talking to Hwoarang?" said a female voice, Hwoarang spun
around to face the woman,
"Ling! What are you doing here?"
he cried. Ling smiled, and looked him up and down,
"Came to
collect you, did you forget that we're supposed to meet Jin at
three-thirty?" she said, Hwoarang gasped,
"Shit, yeah I
did. Hang on, how did you get in here?" he exclaimed, Ling
laughed,
"Easy, picked the lock" she grinned. Looking
Hwoarang up and down again, "Aren't you a bit cold?" she
asked
"Huh? What do you..." started Hwoarang, suddenly,
he looked down at himself "Ah, I'll get dressed shall I?"
he said, laughing a little. Ling nodded,
"Yeah, I think you
aught to, don't want to catch a cold do you" she chuckled.
Hwoarang hurried around his apartment, trying to find clothes to
wear.
"Ok, I'm ready" he said breathlessly after a
few minutes. Ling didn't answer, "Ling, I'm ready, can we go?"
he said. Ling turned to face him
"Ok, let's go" she said
quietly, and slowly walked out of the door.
"Ling, is
something wrong?" said Hwoarang,
"No, nothing"
replied Ling quickly,
"Are you sure? You seem pretty quiet
now."
"I'M FINE!" snapped Ling, Hwoarang was taken
aback,
"Fine, I'll say no more" said Hwoarang, Ling
looked at him,
"I'm sorry Hwoarang, I'm just a bit nervous
about tonight, what with Heihachi's tendency to, kill people, you
know" said Ling,
"Yeah, I know, I'm a bit worried
too, as much as I hate the guy, I don't want anything to happen to
Jin" said Hwoarang, he grimaced a little, "I can't believe
I just said that. That stays between me and you, do you hear?"
he said, laughing a little.
"Yeah, ok, between me and you"
laughed Ling "I, just, I'm scared Hwoarang, what if he manages
to hurt one of us? I don't think I can go through with it" she
cried. Hwoarang took her hand, and pulled her close to him, hugging
her as she cried into his chest,
"Everything's going to be
fine, you'll see. It will all work out perfectly." He said,
tilting her head to face him, ling looked up at him, her face stained
with tears.
"I hope so," she said, trying hard to suppress the sob that threatened to escape, Hwoarang smiled a reassuring smile,
"Course it will," he soothed still looking into her eyes, before either of them new what was happening, Hwoarang lowered his lips to hers and gently kissed her….
Well, then, I told you I had a little bit of a surprise at the end of this chapter. But don't read too much into it, I don't think I intend to build on it.
