Waking up

A/N: Review, enjoy and Merry Christmas ^-^

Disclaimer: I don't own Tekken or XS

"Hello" She called "Is anyone here?"

Running in any direction she got nowhere as if was doomed to wander around the empty void for eternity

She could see images of her friends: Jun breaking the news to everyone, Kimiko sobbing, Jin wallowing in sadness, and everyone's reactions- she even saw the drunk driver, who had died during the crash, in his grave

She just kept walking around, stumbling in the darkness looking for an exit but the darkness was suffocating and all around her

A vague sadness weighed on her heart consisting grief, sadness and rage knotting around her heart in intricate knots as if they would never dissolve

After what seemed like eternity she stumbled onto a dimly lit path, voices young and old encouraging her to go on, familiar voices of friends telling her to go on as she stepped into the light opening her eyes to see-

"Oh my god!" Lilli spluttered

Jazmine wanted to say 'Hi' but waved instead because her voice hadn't been used in a while

"Jin was here practically all the time" Lilli said, her voice shaky "He wanted to stay longer but his mom told him to go home and get some sleep"

Jazmine nodded as Doctors and Nurse came in and Jin was alerted that Jazmine had woken up

When she'd arrived Jun engulfed Jazmine in a hug and sat down as the doctors explained everything
"The bruised and broken limbs are responding well to treatment"

"When will I be able to walk again?" Jazmine asked, her voice sounding uncannily like Yoda's

"You won't be able to walk a while with the amount of bruising your left leg has received, but when you do you will need to walk on crutches for a while before you can walk properly" The Doctor said, taking off her glasses

"You mean I have to re-learn how to walk and dance?"
"No, the skills will return as long as you practice" She said polishing her glasses before putting them back on "You are a very lucky and strong girl Jazmine, not many have survived a crash like that"

The Doctor left and as did the nurses and through the window they could see Lilli waving and leaning on a nurse
She waved back and Lilli went, probably to tell everyone that Jazmine was awake

"I'm really sorry Jazmine" Jun said out of the blue "I'm really sorry that I didn't react fast enough to protect you, I'm really sorry"

Jazmine looked surprised at that "Aunt Jun, there's no need to be sorry, it's my fault completely that I didn't tell you at home so we could've avoided that accident and even if I didn't I'm really sorry that I had to push you guys away without warning"

Jun's surprised expression mirrored Jazmine's previous expression and before Jun could say anything Jazmine continued

"I'm really sorry about that and it's my fault alone and nothing that you're gonna say will change my decision"

"I'm just glad you're OK" Jun said giving her another hug

"Hey, I'll always be okay as long as I know what's coming" Jazmine replied hugging Jun back and after Jun released her Jazmine was silent for a moment before asking

"Aunt Jun, can I tell you something?"

"Yes dear anything" Jun said but upon seeing her face she became concerned

Jazmine took a deep breath before saying "You know I had a brother called Andrew right?"

Jun could only nod

"Well, when I was nine something like this happened to me and him except that he died…it's my fault…I knew it was coming and I couldn't do anything about it, I'm so sorry"

"It isn't your fault, Jazmine, it wasn't your fault that you couldn't do anything, this was meant to be and Jazmine?"

"Yeah?"

"Your brother isn't dead"

"What? But I saw the body, I saw everything!"

Jun laughed gently "No my dear girl, you see the crash was staged and your brother is in fact alive and well because at the age of 14 if you have the Devil gene in you, you develop certain powers that allow you travel elsewhere and your family staged this so your brother is in fact alive"

"But why?" she managed

"To protect you" Jun said simply "Everyone knew you were really close to your brother but when you are too close then you can…kind of absorb the other person's power, like in your instance you have absorbed your brother's powers which mean that he isn't able to transform into his Devil form which is good for him so he doesn't have the burdens of transforming but it makes your transformations more unpredictable like Jin's and your mother had the Angel Gene inside of her which was passed onto you so you have another transformation form- just like Jin's however you need to master how to control it and develop it"

Jazmine nodded taking it all in and Jun cracked a smile saying

"When you come back you're going to have to bear with Kazuya because he believes you are a kind of…'Good luck charm' and he has stacks of paper work and contracts which he needs to your help on deciding what to do"

"What can I do? I bring bad luck"

"On the contrary you bring good luck and he wants you to tell him what vibes you're getting off of the papers"

Jazmine cracked a smile and giggled a little

"Sorry, it's just a little funny"

"There's no need to apologise, we all laughed when he said it" Jun said smiling too

"So when do you think I'll be discharged?"
"Soon"
"When's 'soon'?"

"As soon as you recover"

"Aw man! I hate it when thing's are so vague" She huffed folding her arms

"Life's vague" Jun soothed smiling at Jazmine's reaction "And someone's here to see you"

"Who?"

"If I told you then you'd…as you teenagers say: 'Would freak'" Jun smiled as a tall man with black hair entered the room holding a bouquet of flowers

"Hey Salad" he said sitting down beside her and ruffling her hair

"Oh my gosh" She whispered to Jun "Is this who I think it is?"

Jun smiled nodding

Jazmine let out a squeal and squished the man in a hug

"It's so good to see you again!"

"It's good to see you too Salad"

"What did I tell you about calling me 'Salad'" She asked putting on a stern face after she'd released him

He rolled his eyes

"To stop calling you Salad" He said it as if he'd been saying it for years

"Good" She said and delivered a Falcon Punch to his shoulder and he winced massaging it

"What was that for?" He whined

"You know Andrew just because you're my brother it doesn't mean you scare me like that! Do you know how freaked out I got?! Honestly don't do that again otherwise it'll be a double face slam"

"What! Since when did you say you were gonna face slam me?"

"Well as soon as you returned really and just be glad I can't walk at the moment because you don't get face slammed…at the moment"

He let out a sigh of relief and turned to Jun

"Is she always like this?"

Jun shrugged smiling "No, though sometimes she face-slams my son Jin"

"Ah yeah, I remember Jin, how's he been?"

"He's fine, you just missed him, and he was here just over an hour ago" Jun said and her cell phone bleeped with a message, she read it and sighed

"I've got to go now, Jazmine please don't face slam anyone including your brother" Jun said sternly "I'll see you later Jazmine and Andrew you know our address"

They nodded

"Tell everyone I said 'Hi'"

"I will" Jun said before she left


"Jin" She cried out running ahead to the spiky haired teenager

He turned round to see her running to him and when she came he scooped her up in his strong arms and spinning her around and put her down she laughed

"So how've you been Lucky?" He asked brushing her bangs out of her eyes

"I've been fine and my name is not 'Lucky'"

"Well you're lucky to me and there's nothing in the world that's going to stop me from calling you that"

"Oh come on! Please?" she asked giving him her best puppy eyed look

"Oh alright" He said giving in

"Thank you" she said hugging him to which he hugged back and as soon as he released her she took a step back and bolted it in the opposite direction

"Catch me if you can!"

He smirked and gave her a minute's head start before bolting it after her picking up speed and when she hid behind a Tree to catch her breath he smirked like a Cheshire cat as he saw an opportunity

He dived into the Forest and crept like a Panther towards her as she hid in the shrubbery and peeked out checking if he was there and when she was cure he wasn't there she sighed and leaned against a Tree and when she opened her eyes she had a massive shock

She felt arms wrap around her waist and felt herself pulled into a smooth muscled body

She recognised those red gloves and realised who it was

"Found you" he said

"Hey! You cheated" she said indignantly turning around and pointing at him

"Did not!" He said "I won fair and square because you stopped and I got you"

"Fine…you win"

He smirked "It's impossible to get away from me"

"Yeah I guess it is" she huffed pouting

He smiled, amused at her reaction and pulled her in close about to kiss her when-

RRRIIIIIINNNNNGGGG

His alarm clock went off and he woke facing the ceiling a little angry

She was so close He thought mentally beating himself up for not kissing her

He got up, showered and dressed himself when there was a knock at the door

"Who is it?" he called out, trying to keep the Devil in control

"It's Mom" Jun said opening the door and poking her head in and upon seeing her son's distressed state she became concerned "What's wrong?"

"It's just the Devil" he replied

She sighed and sat next to him on the bed "I'm really proud of you for not transforming for quite a while but I need you to do something for me"

"Yes?" he said looking up

"Help Jazmine control the Devil within" Jun said simply

"There's no point, she hasn't woken up"

"Actually she has, she woke up about an hour ago"

Jin's head snapped up

"She has?! I've got to go see her" he made a break for the door until Jun pulled him back "Wait! We need to talk"

He stopped and turned to her

"Take a seat Jin"

Jin sat down and Jun began her interrogation

"What's going on between you and Jazmine?"

"Nothing"

"'Nothing' wasn't your reaction when I told her she woke up"

"I guess it wasn't" he said putting his head in hands

"You really like her don't you?" Jun asked softly

"More than I've liked anyone in my entire life" he said "No offence Mom"

"None taken" she said lightly "Have you asked her on what you teenagers would call: 'A date'?"

"Yes"

"And" Jun prompted softly

"We went Xiao's party the other day"

"And" Jun prompted again

"She enjoyed it and afterwards she said that she'd like to go out with me again and she Falcon punched because she said that I stole her first kiss"

Jun was working hard to contain her happiness and asked

"Since when have you started liking her?"

"I've always liked her but when we had a match and got a draw I liked her more and she's just…wow as in…an incredible fighter, she understands what I'm going through and why I've done what I've done and she's really kind and likeable and an amazing singer and dancer"

Jun nodded taking it in and said

"If you want to visit her you'd better get going, just don't tell Kazuya that she's awake because of the amount of paper work he needs help on"

Jin cracked a smile

"Bye mom" he said and walked out and hurried down the stairs and out

Jun saw him run out from his window and smiled at the lengths her son would go to save humanity and his heart

The Hospital

He ran down the corridor, his feet pounding against the clean white floor as he skidded to a halt as soon as he had found the right room

He took a deep breath before entering and upon seeing Jazmine asleep there he smiled

He sat down and stared at her before brushing her cheek with his finger and smiling ever so slightly, just glad that she was on that steep climb upwards to recovery
