Note: Jin has transformed into Devil between the 9th and 11th chapter.
Chapter 11: Stunning Realization
As she packed up her belongings about to leave, Ling started to reluctantly reminisce about Jin. He'd always been so laid back and calm …sometimes serious. Never in the four years had she known Jin had he ever acted in such a manner. Even though it was hard to swallow there was no turning back. Her grandfather was untouchable in his decision and Panda hadn't spoken to her since the incident.
"Everything's fallen apart…" she spoke to herself, "there's a good chance I'll never come back here."
Interrupting her thoughts was Wang Jinrey, crankier than ever
"Hurry up Xiao! Our flight outta this dump is in 1 hour… and I can't wait to get home to your mother's Peking duck!"
There was an awkward silence afterwards. Tears leaked themselves out of her eyes. This is it…she thought…the last I'll see of the Rising Sun...
Somewhere outside Tokyo…
Asuka followed Go until they had reached their destination. There was a brand new Hon-Maru, and without a moment's hesitation Asuka approached its door but Go stopped her in her tracks.
"What are you doing? Let me pass…" she demanded.
"You said I would be the one to fight Jin."
"I say a lot of things I don't mean Go…or should I say…Kazuya!"
(Insert lightning bolt)
"Did you think I was some kind of idiot! The cone head hair, the bushmen eyebrows, bloody red eye, and not to mention that freak show tail of yours? You've got 'evil' written all over you! Only a demon such as you could create someone ill enough to cause the death of my mother! I will be the one slaying Jin Kazama not you, and if you get in my way-"
"You'll do nothing child!" he snapped and gave a right hook to the girl's face. "Jin has always been my prey…always. And if he's anything like his old man, he's more than a match for a weak girl of goodness. That same weakness was within Jun Kazama, and what's she up to these days…NOT A DAMN THING! She's sitting inside the belly of a beast that's dead and it's all because of that crappy angelic gene inside her."
Angered, Asuka wiped the spit from her mouth and took one glance behind Kazuya. A shadow appeared.
"Jin may have my power but he has Jun's as well. It's only a matter of time before the two genes go into an all out war and battle for his soul, a battle that neither side can win. So there's really no point in us even trying to kill him because eventually he will kill himself! It's the natural beauty of this whole situation! Ha ha ha!"
Not wanting to break his moment, Asuka sat there on the ground watching as the shadow grew closer…her hands began to tingle.
That same feeling has returned! Stronger this time, it is him.
Kazuya finally shut up only after being muzzled by a grotesque hand. He struggled to break free but even his might could not save him. In a second his eyes shut, and he was then out cold. Quickly Asuka stood before the figure.
"Well it's about time you showed up…Jin Kazama." she muttered.
Only the whites of his eyes shown. Teeth were present as well-like gleaming pearls of darkness.
"Hurrrrr…you're the one…I…we were looking for…" Jin hissed.
"What do you mean we you monster? I only recall you. You mean to say that there is more of your kind out there?"
"No. Ling Xiaoyu…girl with pigtails…we-"
"Enough of this! I came here to do one thing and that is to slay you! Cousin or not you are responsible for my mother's death. She WILL be avenged! Hyah!"
She made her first attack to his chest, and then countered by pinning him to the ground. Jin landed with a thud but hardly reacted to her assault. This she could not understand.
My power, it's not affecting him at all! This is bad…
As a response, Jin grabbed hold of her and unleashed his bestial wings. Then he flew up into the air and came back down, crashing her back against a tree. Asuka wailed out in pain.
"Girl…name…I need to know before I end up…hurting you…" he said.
"Eh...oh like you aren't doing that already!"
They both hit the ground and Asuka turned the tables on the demon hybrid by rolling him over on his backside. A barrage of punches repeatedly fell upon Jin, hurting only his emotions. She let up for one second.
"P-Please…I was searching all this time so I could…understand." He pleaded.
"Shut…UP!" she screamed while continuing to pummel him with her fist.
Every connection she made with his face triggered another piece of the Devil gene to react viciously. After a while it started to hurt her just as she drew back for another hit. Still she couldn't figure why. His skin grew to deep ebony and his face became more wolfish in appearance. Finally she stopped. Hands were shaking and she felt utterly weak. With ease Jin pushed her off and stood before her with a grin so chilling her bones thumped inside her own flesh.
"Too late now…far too late to understand…" grunted Jin.
Asuka stay frozen. Her body was at a state of paralysis-the kind that was birthed from fear itself. It was the first time in her life she'd known of the word.
"Now all must suffer…all must DIE! Starting with you!"
Once again the blood in his eyes welled up and fizzled. Not knowing what to expect, the girl merely stood there and closed her eyes. She couldn't even scream or show emotion for she was too worn out. No tears, no frown, no movement. Outside the area the red light could be seen for miles…
On top of Panda, Xiaoyu slept her troubles away. She would see her mom and dad, live in normalcy…
"What the hell is that!" cried the old geezer pointing at the red light and waking Xiao up.
"Uh, aiya Jinrey! What is it now?" she complained.
"The light…it has returned…this is exactly why we must leave."
Curiously Xiao peered over at the distance where the light had begun to die. Memories began rushing into her little mind.
When I touched Jin I could see it, that same red light. Then he wasn't himself either.
Panda started to whine. She only whined in this way when it came to Jin.
Grandpa, where's that coming from?" she asked having already known the answer.
"From those cursed Mishimas of course! It's most likely that boy you were so ga ga over for all these years, Jin. The Devil Gene…er…uh…ahem. It seems I've said too much! Come on now let's go!"
Right, of course! She remembered. He warned me during the tournament about this and how we couldn't be together…it all makes sense now.
She faced her grandpa sternly. "I'm not going anywhere pops! Jin needs me now more than ever and…I'm going to stay here! I'm going to live the rest of my life in Japan! SO suck on that!"
Over stimulated she whacked Panda's hindquarters and the duo sped off in the direction of the blinding light. Jinrey hunched over with his mouth agape staring at his granddaughter, whom he figured he never seen again…he wasn't going to pass up the trip back home for his daughter's Peking Duck!
I understand now Jin…and I still love you…
Note: This is it! The moment a lot of you have waited for! Here comes the conclusion of Kazama Complex where will find out the fate of Asuka and Jin…and what will Xiao do when she finds him AND the girl they've been looking for throughout this story! Don't lose hope!
