They were going back to HQ. Nina was watching outside view in silence. And Jin was watching her, thinking he messed all up. Those supposed to be days to remember, a good memory. Instead, they became still something she wouldn't forget but as a bad memory. Things that has happened was not his fault but devil coming and hurting her was his. How could he let the devil come out so easily? Now they both had bandages on their one shoulder. Nina's from the bite of the devil and Jin's from the gunshot Nina shoot. She was trying to save herself from the devil and it worked, he wasn't a tiny bit mad about this. He was mad at himself and that was all. It was becoming more and more harder to control it. This needed to be done immediately for the sake of the world and hers.
Nina on the other hand, was thinking about what's he going through. She witnessed that though. The thing abducted his body and mind. And it was the most horrid thing in the world. Jin needs to overcome it constantly to not harm himself and the others. This was his gift from destiny itself. It was the worst gift you can imagine.
And, she shot him. She put her hand on her eyes and massaged her temples. She shot him. It was devil, she knew. But the body was Jin's. Not he has a wound on his shoulder. Worse could've happened, that's for sure. But when they both gain consciousness on the floor in the morning, the first thing was a puddle of blood beside her. She was scared, more than she is scared of that thing. But thankfully he was alright. Now they're going to HQ in the limo, facing each other but in silence, not saying a word. They both feel guilty for another.
She raised her head and looked at him. He realised and he looked at her also.
~"I'm sorry."
~"I'm so sorry."
They said the same thing at the same time.
"Why are you even apologizing for?" Jin asked, confused.
"Umm, this?" Nina pointed his bandaged shoulder which she applied first-aid.
"No, no you did the right thing. There's no need for you to apologize."
"Still." She shrugged.
"And thank you."
Nina frowned "It was nothing, actually we need to see a nurse to fix it, it's not a good bandaging."
"Thank you for helping me control it." He explained. "It really worked. Focusing on something made him slow down. And also the shot." He smiled.
Nina grimaced. She didn't want to hear a joke about it. "I could've kill you. It was stupid." She started to massage her temples again. She had a headache. She wanted to scream so bad. Her lungs felt like they're gonna explode because of being not able to show emotions physically.
"It was no stupid. You saved me and yourself." His voice came next to her. He changed his seat and came to wrap his arms around her. She put her head on his chest. Listened his now calm heartbeats.
"I understand why do you want to end this. I already offered what I can give to help. But I'm ready to offer more." She wrapped her arms around his waist. His one hand was on top of her head, the other was gently caressing her back. These touches what she needed at the moment.
I love him.
In that moment, she named her feelings for him. And she was sure. She loved him and there was no doubt. The only problem, she wasn't able to tell it to him.
She pulled her head back and looked at his face. He looked back also. He had a questioning look on his face. She reached her lips to his. The way she can show some emotions. She closed her eyes while kissing him. She climbed on his lap and deepened the kiss. Her arms were around his neck and his around her waist.
The kiss deepened enough to get a growl out of him. She enjoyed hearing it. She stopped for a breath. Looked outside.
"We still have plenty of time to HQ." She said with a playful smile. Then she started to move on his lap. He started kiss her neck. He was kissing, sucking and leaving tiny bites. These bites were what she is okay with, not the one on her shoulder right now.
She checked the window between chauffeur and them and made sure it was closed. And turned back to him. Her hands were lightly on his shoulders while he was still working on her neck. When he started go down and unzipped the top, her grip on shoulders got tighter. She forgot what she did there. Jin groaned softly when his shoulder hurt.
"Oh I'm so sorry." She removed her hand from that shoulder and started to caress his face. He tilted her body to back to reach this part of her easily. He was holding her tight, preventing from a fall. She groaned when he was doing magical things on her. When he leaned back, she started to undone his shirt buttons. She was touching lightly on his bare skin. Then she removed his hands from her waist. She crouched, holding his thighs to balance her. Her hands were on the belt and then zipper of his pants. She decided to take care of it like he did to hers. First thing he was feeling her warm hands around his. It was already arousing but she got further. Then he started to feel her perfect lips. He growled out. His hand was on her cheek, cares it with his eyes closed.
When she got up, they both had their clothes on thems but they were all undone. When she removed her pants also, Jin hold the unzipped sides of her top and pulled her on top of him. She was standing on her knees and he was placing himself where it need to be placed. When he's done she slowly let him in. They both moaned. It was all slow and kind at first but they both started have a higher pace. Jin grabbed her side of the hips tight and her hands were on his uninjured shoulder and between his hairs. She was pulling his hair less gently and she tilted her head to backwards in pleasure. He was kissing her breasts in the meantime.
When they hit their climax they slow down and waited in a position where Jin puts his head between her breasts and her chin on top of his head, wrapping each other.
She was in a jet to Egypt. She was going to check the tomb they found there. If it really belongs to the Azazel creature. He wasn't with her because he thought the devil may get stronger if he wouldn't go there in the right time, before Azazel awakens, the devil taking control so close to its source would be horrible. So he appointed her to check even though he didn't want to be parted from her. After they came from that unlucky vacation, their lust was doubled, even tripled. They didn't have any moment without touching eachother anytime they can. She doesn't remember when was the last time she went her own room. She was always with Jin.
She reached the destination. There were lots of Tekken Force soldiers here, waiting on the enterance. They saluted her as she enters.
Where she entered was a great ruin with lots of Egyptian motifs. She observed the place. As she learn from Jin, she could confirm it's the right place. And this bad feeling inside her was proving it somehow.
"You are not a man." A raven haired, tan-skinned woman came out of nowhere. "I thought he would have send a man and my job would be easier. Now I have to improvise."
Nina turned to her and crossed her arms. "Who are you?"
"I am the one who is gonna protect here from the destroyers. Who are you?"
"Nina Williams. Not here to destroy."
"Nina Williams? I would never guess he would've sent you. Aren't you dear to him? His favourite toy? You might not be here to destroy but your owner will be here to destroy."
Nina chuckled. "My owner, will be here to destroy the creature. If you're gonna protect it, you will be one of the destroyed ones."
"You are stupid!" She shouted. "Do you believe he can really be successful?"
"Why do you protect it?"
"I don't protect it. I protect the world from it. But that moron is trying to wake him up. And then what? He's gonna come and fight him, kill him?" She scoffed.
"World will be a better place when this creature is killed. There are things you don't know." Nina was calm.
"Like what? You mean the 'Shaytans' who are ruling the world right now? They are playing boss and they are starting wars. Your boss is torturing the world so Azazil would be awaken. Then he thinks he can kill it. But he can't. Don't you understand? Azazil is the source, he is a vessel. How can he beat him?"
Well, she knew...
"We have a plan. Stop being a resistance. There is a chance, the chaos could end. Jin can kill it."
She chuckled. "And he will die himself..."
"There's always a risk."
"No, no." She waved her hand in the air. "You're not understanding. Fighting with Azazil will kill him. There's a tiny chance Azazil might die with him. Fighting with it will cause him to die, most probably will free it. The world will be worse, far worse than it already is."
"How do you know?"
"I've been raised for this. I've been listening this prophecy for all my life. My entire bloodline has been preventing this for centuries. And I'm not letting it go to waste."
"Prophecy?"
"You don't even know it?" She sighed.
"Tell me all."
Nina was turning back to HQ to confirm it is the right tomb they found. But she was thinking about what Zafina told her. The myth indicates no one can survive a battle with Azazel. There was only one way to kill it but the information had been destroyed by ancestors of Zafina to prevent anyone to try. Even then, the fighter couldn't survive, in any case.
And as she says, Jin knew it. The documents she brought him was about this it appears. Was it the reason for being extra intimate lately? Was he trying to leave her with good memories? Should they talk about this?
She sighed and put her head between her hands. She had a headache because of these too many questions.
She reached the HQ. Went directly to his office. She entered bit he wasn't there. Right when she was trying to turn back, he came on and wrapped his hands around her waist from her behind. He put his head to her shoulder.
"Just when I started to miss you." He whispered into her ear. She exhaled and put her head on his shoulder. She hold his arms and closed her eyes. This was maybe one of their last memories. Was it? This thought made her sick. She removed his hands and turn her face to him. Then she hugged him tightly again. Actually she was planning to end the hug since it wasn't the last but she failed. Jin was confused but hugged her also.
"I see you missed me as much." He chuckled.
"Yes. I did." She hugged tighter.
His smile vanished while he hugged tighter too. He understood something was going on. Did she found out the only thing he kept from her? Probably.
She kept herself together and let him go.
"The tomb is the right one." She said.
"Good." He nodded with a smile. "How was your trip? Are you tired?"
She nodded. She was so tired that she didn't want to say a word. Not because of the trip though.
"Did you eat anything, you were on the road since the morning?"
She shook her head. "I am not hungry. I am only tired. The tomb sucked all of my energy." Her voice was proving the things she said. She sounded exhausted.
"Only one thing to do then..." He picked her up and took her to his room connected the his office.
He put her in the bed and cover her with a blanket.
"What else you need?" He asked, placed a little kiss on her forehead.
She hold his wrist. "You... Want to sleep with me too?" she asked.
He had lots of things to do. But he just couldn't leave her alone especially when she asked him to stay with her. So he get in the bed and hugged her from behind. She slowly immersed in sleep with listening his breathing.
I am all in dark. Where is everyone? Why is there only me?Dad?Where is he, why isn't he anwering?Anna? Anna? Even you?Where is she? She's always around me, even she is not here now.Anna?Here you are. Turning your back to me. Why don't you hear? Wait there, I'll come to you.But why can't I get any closer?Hey, Anna! Heey! Why don't you hear me? For how long should I shout, you jerk!Who is this grabbing my wrist?Jin?Can you see me? Look, she won't even hear me.Jin? Why are looking at me like that?Wait why are you leaving?Where are you going?Why can't I follow you?Jin!Wait...
She woke up breathless. She had a horrible dream. She checked if Jin heard. But he wasn't on the bed nor the room.
She felt her stomach was sick and she rushed to the bathroom. She threw up in the toilet. She tried to get up but her vision went blurry. She sat on the concrete floor and waited. She could get up by taking support from surroundings. She could barely stand up. She splashed water on her face. It wasn't working. What was wrong with her? What was happening?
She could hardly left the bathroom and entered the room. But soon she fell to the ground unconscious.
"She threw up and fainted you saying?" It was Eddy's voice. She woke up, she could hear surrounding but she couldn't yet opened her eyes.
"Yes." It was Jin answering.
"Don't get mad but... Can she be pregnant?" Eddy asked. She would laugh if she could. Because her reproduction organs were removed when she was in the experiments. She could not have a child. Well, except Steve.
By the way, did Eddy knew she and Jin was... Well, doing things that might cause pregnancy? Was it this obvious? She wondered if anyone knew.
"Okay, okay. No more deducting." she heard Eddy saying. Probably Jin gave him a horrifying stare.
She slowly opened her eyes.
"Here she is."
"Hey, did you wake up? Are you okay? Do you need anything?" This was the first time she's seeing Jin this worried.
"I am okay. I don't know what happened. My blood pressure lowered I guess."
"Because you visited the tomb. It caused this."
"Don't worry, I'm feeling okay."
She looked at Eddy. He was staying behind, giving them their moment,at least he thought. When he realised she was looking at him he said "Should I leave?" indecisively.
"No, why would you?" She asked.
"I don't know, I thought..."
Jin interrupted. "You are banned from thinking, Gordo."
"Are you sure you are good? Just cancel the match. It is already planned that you lost."
It was late nighttime and they were having a conversation on Jin's bed about the match between Nina and Kazuya tomorrow.
"I am fine. I can manage. Besides, it would be too obvious if I cancel the match. That we're trying to get Kazuya to final."
"I'll leave when you start the match." he said. She grew silent. She didn't know what she should say to him. She put her hand on his face and closed her eyes. She sighed. He put his on top of hers and also closed his eyes. They both slept like this.
In the morning they woke up wrapped to each other.
"Good morning." He whispered. She smiled to him. She could be in peace of she wouldn't remember this is the last morning with him.
They got up and started to get ready.
"I'll show you things you should manage after I... go." he said. She nodded.
They spent the morning doing work. It was afternoon when they finished.
"Well, it's time for the match." She said.
"We can still cancel." He said. She shook her head.
"No, I'm okay. I'll go get ready. I'll be back in five minutes." She rushed. This was gonna be their last moment probably. She didn't want to waste time.
She turned back. He was doing something on the computer. She watched him. Knowing this might be her last chance to do that. He realised she is standing there in her fighting suit. He always admired her physic. This time was no different. She came closer when he finished his work on computer. He got up.
"Nina. I'll be wearing this. In case, tracking might be needed. After I fight Azazel. I put the info on the computer."
"Are you giving me hope now?"
"To us both. Since I have a reason to live." He grabbed her waist and made her sit on his desk. They started kiss. Like it was their last time.
"For the semi-final match, ladies and gentlemen! Nina Williams and Kazuya Mishima!"
The fight has started. First one to act was Kazuya. He was looking at her like she is his inferior. Nina dodged his moves. She felt her blood pressure is lowering again. Her head started feel lighter. For a while she only dodge his moves.
"What's wrong Williams? You had a rough night?" Kazuya was teasing her. But she wasn't able to answer. Only thing she can do kept staying on her two feet.
The last punch she couldn't dodge, made her walk backwards few steps. After that she was even trying. She was waiting to faint again. Kazuya threw an another punch on her face and caused her bottom lip to bleed. After that she felt the ground was sweeping under her feet. Then her vision got blank.
She gained her consciousness back. They were celebrating Kazuya's victory. There were medics around her. She pushed them away and left the stage. She could find her own room and get inside.
No one was around to say "Good match." to her. It wasn't a good match anyway. She filled the tub and get in. She tried to come to herself. She was trying not to think about Jin and his leaving. But she was failing. She felt like she can't breathe properly. Why did it have to be? Why has he had to leave? Why?
She was going mad. She wished she could cry but only thing she can't do is clenching her fist.
After spending so much time in the tub, she came out. She wrapped the towel around her body and left the bathroom.
"Jin?" Was she hallucinating? Or was he standing there next to her bed? He smiled when he saw her left the bathroom.
"Why didn't you go?"
"I felt that I couldn't say goodbye properly. I decided to leave tomorrow morning."
Was it a dream? Even a few minutes more was what she needed the most and he was saying that he will be with her till morning? It must be a dream.
She got closer and hugged him. She felt some warmth was traveling across her cheek. Was she crying really? Were those teardrops? She tried to wipe them before she looked at him. Thankfully it wasn't so obvious since she was completely wet because she just left the shower.
He hold her face between his hands. "Not a good match, huh?" He looked the little wound on her bottom lip. They both chuckled.
He kissed her softly. She was so happy like he was not gonna leave after tonight. But she gave her focus to present and only present.
They spent a magical night of making love. They never missed any opportunity to feel the moment. Treasured every second and every part of each other.
"I feel so weak when I think of life after tomorrow."
"You are the strongest person I know. You tamed my monster."
"Jin, I..." No, not the way she could tell. But she should tell him before he leaves. "You... make me feel like this life is my reward after spending the last one in misery."
Jin chuckled.
"I love you too."
