Latest chapter is here, sorry it took me so long to update but I've been really busy with college and work But anyway, its here so read and enjoy XX
On the roof, Jin, Ling and Hwoarang saw the
explosion,
"Yeah!" Yelled Hwoarang.
"Woohooo!"
Cried Ling, grabbing hold of Jin and hugging him tightly. Jin smiled,
and hugged her back.
"Well, it worked, but did Heihachi
actually enter the building?" He said, glaring at
Hwoarang.
"What? Oh, ohh, I see, you think that I tipped him
off don't you? Think that I told him what our plan was and that he
wasn't going to show!" Yelled Hwoarang, throwing his hands
up!
"I never said that, did I? Cried Jin. Hwoarang was really
starting to piss him off.
"You didn't need to, I can tell
that's what you meant!" Ling sighed, and stood up...
"QUIET!"
She yelled, the two men stopped their insults, and looked at Ling
"Now, will you two just stop all this bickering and get on
together, just for tonight? For me?" she said, the guys
nodded,
"Fine" Growled Jin
"What ever" Spat
Hwoarang, shrugging his shoulders.
"Thank you. Jin, what's
wrong?" Said Ling, turning to Jin, who was glaring at Hwoarang,
and muttering to himself.
"Huh? Oh nothing, nothing, just
finding it hard to believe that you screwed that son of a bitch
before coming to the warehouse, that's all" Hissed Jin, Ling
looked to the ground
"Ah, I erm, take it you heard us then.
Jin, I am sooo so..."
"Just don't Ling, ok, you've
already done enough" Said Jin as he walked past her, Ling could
sense a slight waver in his voice, was he going to cry? Ling wasn't
sure, she stared at Hwoarang,
"We'll talk later!" She
spat "Jin, wait up, wait!" she called as she ran after
him...
"Guys, hey guys,
don't leave me here!" Called Hwoarang as he watched Jin and Ling
disappear around the corner "What if Heihachi isn't dead, he
might get me... ah nuts!" He said and scuffed his foot on the
ground,
"Hey Jin, Jin, wait up" Called Ling,
"Go
away" Snapped Jin. But ling was not to be deterred,
"Jin,
stop right there! We need to talk," Jin turned to face her,
sighing heavily,
"About what happened, back there between me
and Hwoarang, it..."
"Don't tell me, it meant nothing"
Cut in Jin, Ling nodded feebly,
"That's right, it didn't.
You're the only person I've ever really cared about Jin, I couldn't
give a shit about that ass back there" She said, stepping a
little closer to him. "Please, Jin, you have to believe me"
She sobbed, tears streaming down her face. Jin tilted her head up to
face him,
"All I want to know, is why you did it, and why
Hwoarang?" He said softly, Ling shrugged,
"I dunno, spur
of the moment thing? I was scared, Hwoarang was there, I, I didn't
realise what was happening, else I would have said no, you know that.
I, I, was confused, scared, I guess I was glad of the company. But I
regret every minute of it now, I hate myself" Sobbed Ling, she
turned away from Jin, ashamed of herself. Suddenly she felt Jin's
arms around her, holding her. She turned and buried her face in his
chest.
"It's all right now. Everything is going to be
alright" He soothed. Ling looked up,
"Y, you believe
me?" She said, wiping the tears from her cheeks, Jin nodded
slightly.
"Yes, I know that you were confused and scared. And
that's all right. Anyway, how can I stay angry at someone like you
eh?" He said, smiling a little. Ling hugged him tightly,
"I
knew you'd believe me," She cried, laughing a little.
"C'mon,
let's go see what the ass is up to," Said Jin, draping his arm over
Ling's shoulders as they walked back in the direction they had just
come.
When they got back to the square, they found Hwoarang sat at
the edge of the roof, swinging his legs over the side. He appeared to
be muttering something to himself
"Hey Hwoarang, you ok?"
Called Jin, upon hearing Jin's voice, Hwoarang scooted further back
onto the roof,
"Hey, Hwoarang, what are you doing? Come down"
Called Ling,
"Y, you, left me here, a. and, you, you knew
that Heihachi might not, be, be dead, and, and, you LEFT ME!"
Hwoarang stammered. Jin sighed, trust Hwoarang to go and do something
like this, typical.
"Well let's go and check shall we?"
Said Ling,
"H, home, I wanna go home"
"Fine.
Tell you what, we'll go home, and get something to eat and we'll
rest. In the morning we can go back and see what damage has been
done, that ok?" Called Jin,
"N, not tonight? P,
Promise?" Jin nodded,
"Yes, not tonight, now come on,
let's get out of here" Said Jin, he couldn't believe it, twenty
minutes ago he had wanted to rip this guys throat out and paint the
walls with it, now here he was, PROMISING not to let anything happen
to him, he must be sick. Hwoarang was still muttering to himself as
he climbed down from the roof, and followed Ling and Jin home.
As
they neared Ling's apartment, she saw someone familiar sat on the
porch,
"Miharu? What on earth are you doing out here at this
time?" Miharu ran up to the trio,
"Well, I was just
getting ready to sit down and watch TV, when there was this huge
explosion, so I jumped up, and ran outside. As I neared, well, here,
a man approached me, looked pretty beaten, said his name was
Heihachi."
At that name the three friends looked at each
other, panic and fear in their faces,
"Oh no" Said
Ling
"Son of a bitch" Cried Jin
"He got here fast
then, and he did it without our seeing him, he's a sly bastard"
Said Ling heatedly,
"Told you he wasn't didn't I" Said
Hwoarang triumphantly. Man, he loved it when he proved Jin wrong,
even when he knew he wasn't, he had to try.
"Come on, let's
get inside" said Jin, and hurried the gang inside. Things just
got a lot worse.
"What's going on?"
Asked Miharu as Jin ushered them all inside the building,
"Nothing
Miharu, it doesn't concern you" Said Ling hurriedly.
"But..."
"Miharu, leave it please" Cut in Jin, he didn't have
time to be explaining things to one of Ling's annoying friends.
"Fine" Miharu snapped, she didn't like Jin, she never
had, she thought he was too stuck up, walking around school, all high
and mighty.
"I told you that he might still be alive, I told
you didn't I!" Cried Hwoarang triumphantly,
"Oh
Hwoarang shut up" Snapped Ling. She'd had enough of his constant
moaning, Hwoarang looked taken aback, but the look of surprise soon
turned into a scowl,
"Get lost Ling, since when did you
become in charge of me?" He snapped, Ling turned to face
him,
"Since now, so shut up and keep an eye out for Heihachi
ok!" She spat, Hwoarang opened his mouth to speak, then closed
it again, rendered speechless by Ling's sudden outburst. Sighing,
Ling turned back to watch the street, Hwoarang could be so dopey at
times, but, he had his uses she supposed, like bait... suddenly, an
idea occurred to her, she went up to Jin's ear,
"I've just
had an idea, why don't we send Hwoarang to look for Heihachi, and
then lead him back here?" She whispered, Jin looked at her, then
at Hwoarang, and smiled,
"Sounds good, I feel a little
Heihachi interrogation is needed," He said. He turned to
Hwoarang, "Hwoarang, got a job for you" He said, Hwoarang
looked up from the floor on which he was sitting,
"Oh yeah,
what's that?" He said, Jin smiled,
"Bait." He said
bluntly, Hwoarang stared at him,
"Excuse me?" He said,
"Bait, you're going to go out, find Heihachi, and lead him
back here. Then we're going to interrogate him," Said Jin. Hwoarang
laughed and shook his head,
"Oh no, no way man, I aint going
out THERE!" He laughed. Jin nodded,
"Yes you are, now.
So get going, he should be near the Red Dragon Restaurant by now, if
my prediction is correct, now, GO!" He bellowed. Hwoarang
gulped, and nodded, before jumping up and scrambling out of the
door.
"Man he is such an ass," Said Ling shaking her head
as she watched Hwoarang trip over his own feet as he ran down the
street,
"Yeah, he has his uses though I guess" Replied
Jin nodding his head in agreement and smiling to himself, things were
beginning to turn around, if only slightly, things were turning
around.

Kitty Kibitzer: Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Heh, I really had to get the surprise factor in there, I was hoping it would get me more readers/reviews, and of course I was going make Ling realise she loved Jin, how could I not?
