__chapter6__

" Now what do we do?!", said Xiaoyu as she got up from the sand and brushed it off," we can't stay here!", Hwoarang was
still disoriented and lying in the sand, he managed to stand up unsteadily. He passed out from nearly getting eaten alive.

" Now we have two out and one injured, the odds are starting to look pretty bleak.", Bryan said ," We have to find a shelter
soon."

Jun." Oh no! What about Heiachi?! We left him in that ravine all by himself!", everyone gasped, could he have been
killed?," We have to go back and try to get him out of there!"

Paul," Why save that old bum? He caused a 'nuff suffer'n and pain ta last 5 generations!"

Jun," Don't you have a conscience at all? What is wrong with you? Two wrongs don't make a right! We have to go now!", she took Kazuya's arm he didn't appear overly excited in going back to the ravine and saving his father, . . . especially
with those Raptor hanging around!

Anna," I'll go help too, the more we stick together harder it is for them to pick us off one by one."

Lee," But if we go all at once then they could ambush us all at once and finish us off!", Anna started walking away with Jun and Kazuya," Hey! Wait! I'm coming with you too!", Lee ran to catch up with his object of affection.

Marshall," Then what do we do? stand around like nothing happened?"

Forrest interrupted him," Dad, . . . . . may be we should try to find a tree high enough so we won't get eaten?"

Lei," What are we going to do with Jin and Hwoarang? They're out like lights and we can't protect them if we can't even protect ourselves!"

Michelle," True, true. . . ", she thought for a moment," we'll have to carry them I guess. There's simply nothing else we can do."

Paul, cynically," greeeeat-- an who's gonna do that ah wonder?"

" Mon,-- you an Bryan of course!", Eddy responded.

" Hey! Why me an Bryan?! What gives Eddy?!", Paul hissed, Bryan was equally as pissed for the volunteering job Eddy did.

" Yah! Why me an Paul here? Can't you do--", Bryan was interrupted by Eddy," You two are the strongest here so you're
perfect for the job mon!"

Paul," Tch,-- thanks for the vote of confidence", he kicked the sand with his shoe in a fashion that vaguely resembled him kicking the dirt when pulled over by and officer. Bryan had already hauled Hwoarang up on his shoulder, and then Paul hauled Jin up on his back muttering some unkind words about smashing in Eddy's head and watching the brains spill out. They went on
their search for a tree.

Meanwhile at the Ravine. . . . . . . . . .

Anna," Heave!"

Kazuya," Ho!"

Jun," Heave!"

Lee," Ho!"

This continued for a while, until they brought Heiachi back up with the vine, He clung on to the edge of the ravine and pulled himself up ranting," Why do you guys have to bring me back up?!"

The 4 were perplexed and Lee said," We came to take you out so you wouldn't be eaten by those Raptors!"

Heiachi," You should of left me there! It was safer down there than up here! The raptors can't climb down there!", he glared at them all.

Jun," So that explains why you didn't struggle and complain when we put you down there!"

Kazuya," Yeah, he knew he would be safe down there and didn't say anything so we would get eaten!", a huge grin came over Heiachi's face and he said," Precisely, pretty ingenious huh?"

Lee," You bastard! We outta kill you!", he shook his fist so hard they hurt, Kazuya was just as pissed knowing his own father was STILL planing his demise and said," No Lee, we can't kill him."

" What?! You want him dead as much as I do! That Ass hole never cared about us!!", Lee was even more infuriated at his step brother's response, it sounded like Kazuya was taking Heiachi's side.

" I know. ", Kazuya replied," But why kill when you can torture? I think that will be more fun.", Kazuya's infamous smirk came to his tan face, Lee grinned too and wringed his hands. Anna had her head somewhere else and heard something rustle in the leaves, she turned to see what it was but couldn't see anything. She heard the leaves move again, this time seeing a gleaming blood red eye looked directly at them and as soon as she made eye contact with it she screamed, the Raptor jumped out from the underbrush and ran towards Lee! Anna leaped on him just before it tried to jump on him yelling," LOOK OUT!!!".

The Raptor couldn't stop in time and flew over Anna and Lee sailing over and into the ravine screeching. It's cries echoed as
it went down and after several seconds they heard a loud * thud*.

" We need to get out of here!", Kazuya said, he looked around to see if there was anymore coming. Lee and Anna got up and they went back to the beach to see if they could find the others. . . . if it wasn't too late.

Meanwhile. . . . with the others. . . . . .

Paul was whining about how heavy Jin was, Jin wasn't really THAT heavy but Paul just likes to complain," Man, he's a load to
lug around!"

Bryan," Stop your belly aching! I'm getting sick of it!"

Paul," How would ya like ah palm tree shoved up yer colon?"

" Is that a threat?"

" Yeah!"

Nina intervened separating them with her arms," Stop it or you both will get a spiked high heel up both your asses, GOT IT?!", they reluctantly stopped their squabble and grimaced at each other. Michelle looked up a tree with her hands on her
hips," This one looks tall enough.", Eddy frowned and said," I'm not so sure. Nina? Do you think you could
get up there and check it out?"

Nina glance at him and said under he breath," lazy ass. . . ", she flipped up into the branches and stayed there for a while.
Everybody waited for her to say something and finally she did," This one isn't very sturdy!", Nina reappeared hanging upside down from a branch with her stealthy assassin skills. She then flipped out of the tree and landed quietly as if she weren't there.

" What about this one?", said a voice, . . . it was Xiaoyu in another tree hiding in it, Nina went up to check it out. They
waited for her answer. . . . . . . . . . . .

" This one will do.", Nina yelled down from the tree. All of them sighed in relief.

Lei," It's settled then, Forrest, Marshall and I will get the drift wood and rope that was floated to shore and start building.",
Marshall and Forrest were surprised from being volunteered but they went with him anyway, partly because he had a gun.
They walked back the way they came and Forrest was just about to walk out into the open but Lei and Marshall dragged him back into the brush," Hey--! Mmmph!!", they covered his mouth.

Lei," shhhhhhhhhh. ", he points to what Forrest was about to walk into.

There were more Raptors and they were feeding on the dead one's carcass that was shot earlier," See you idiot! You could of got eaten!"

Marshall slipped down further behind the bushes," Now what are we gonna do?", Lei stood up and withdrew his gun," Shoot them! That's what!", Marshall pulled Lei's arm down," We can't do that! The sound might attract more and it
would be wasting bullets!"

Lei shook his free hand making it into a fist," What can we do?! We won't have any wood to build a tree fort and we will get
eaten anyway!", Forrest sighed, and said," I guess it's lose/lose situation. Just shoot the Damn things!" Lei," Fine, I will", he raises his gun and aims, then Marshall pulled his hand down.

Marshall," But we'll be wasting bullets!"

" I guess I won't do anything until you guys make up your minds!", Lei stated and slid his gun back in it's holster. That's when
they saw the party sent out to get Heiachi come back. They were in plan view of the Raptors.

" OH MY GOD! THERE'S MORE!!", Anna shrieked, she held on to Lee and he stood his ground almost blue in the face. Kazuya flinched still holding his injured arm," I can't fight them like this! Lei took out my good arm!"

" So Lei has betrayed you huh?", said Heiachi cunningly, he was trying to break them all apart with words and twisting around
things in their heads.

" No, he was trying to get his gun working and accidentally shot me!!"

" Hmmm. . . . . Are you sure it was an accident? From what I remembered he had you on his list.", a sly smile came over Heiachi.

Jun," That don't matter!", One of the Raptors turned around and caught sight of them, it snorted and screeched getting to
attention of the other ones. All of the Raptors turned around and saw the band. Anna," RUN!!!", they ran as fast as they could and the Raptors were closing, One was almost on top of Heiachi and Lei decided to take action from the bushes, He quickly took out his gun and began shooting at the Beasts, the one closest to Heiachi was killed first and the other two after. He blew the
smoke from the top of his gun and Marshall went out to the others with Forrest.

Forrest," Are you guys ok?"

Anna," We are now.", Marshall began picking up the needed stuff the was strewn across the beach and came across part of the hull and a box that had floated here. Lei came out of hiding too, running down the beach to
meet the others, he put his gun back in it's holster," We found a tree that's high enough for us to hide out in,
all we need to do is get what ever that's left we can find and take it back"

Forrest," Yeah, but we need to do it quickly, more Raptors are probably coming!", he looked around to make sure that there wasn't any more. There wasn't for once and he sighed in relief. Lei began to pick up the wood and Lee Chaolin,

Anna, and Jun dragged the hull further up shore, Kazuya couldn't do to much but held whatever Lei picked up. Heiachi was being an ass hole and just watching them toil.

"Come on dad! Do something!", Kazuya scolded, he gave Heiachi his famous ' I'm pissed off at you and you'd better do something' face. Heiachi was reluctant to help but dragged the hull anyway. Marshall and Forrest drug the heavy box that had been nailed shut. Marshall had seen it on the yacht before but never had the chance to look inside. " What could it be? Food? A radio?", Marshall thought," what am I thinking about? Of course it wouldn't be a radio, it would of got wet and would be useless!, What ever it is,-- it's sure
heavy!"

They towed the stuff back to the Tree, [ Starting to sound like Gilligan's island huh? Except the director of Jurassic Park had produced it. ]. It was way late now, about [ 11:00PM ] and the Raptors were probably
getting worse, the darker it got the more there seemed to be. Everyone was getting tired, even the people that stayed out late normally. They dragged the stuff until they reached the tree," I'm so glad you guys are back!", said Julia," I was pretty sure we was going to get eaten!"

Jun," Has Jin or Hwoarang woke up yet?"

Xiaoyu," I'm afraid not. . . "

Kazuya," We're going to have to do something soon,
Can we at least place some of those boards up in the tree so we'll have some place to sleep?", Heiachi was
looked mighty irritated by now, He would of rather stayed in that hole in the ground than be here with 'them'.
Nina," Sure, pass them up and some rope!", she flipped upside down on one of the limbs and took some of the boards from Lei s hands and disappearing again. This took about an hour of work to do and there was finally enough boards tied down for them all to sleep on. Each one climbed the tree gingerly to make sure they don't fall, they was about 25 ft in the air! Michelle looked down at the ground and thought a while then said," You know? We need someone to keep watch."

Paul," Why do we need someone ta keep watch fore? We're 40 ft in the air!", . . [ Paul tends to exaggerate folks. ^_~ ]

Michelle," You never know what's going to happen! Wouldn't you feel safer if some was out on watch so we don't get caught by surprise?", Paul looked at the board floor shuffling his foot around, he wasn't going
to admit that it just might be a good idea," Do what ya want.", He sat down on the boards and tried to sleep.

Michelle," fine, I will. I'll take the first watch."

The next morning. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

They slowly awoke, first was Nina but she was beaten by Heiachi. He was already wide awake and sitting further up in the tree.

Soon everyone else followed, they all woke up except Jin ,Hwoarang and Xiaoyu, Jin was still unconscious and Hwoarang and Xiaoyu, well, they slept in. Paul got up about as slow as a sloth, scratched his back and yawned blinking his eyes," Hey, where's breakfast?"

Several eyes glared at him and Michelle said," You'll have to get your own.", she picked some bananas from a tree branch that intertwined with the tree they were on. Paul stood up and realized he was about 25
foot from the ground, he almost fell off the edge but Bryan grabbed him and pulled Paul back to safety.

Paul," Whew! That was close. Thanks.", Marshall started to climb down the tree.

Anna," Hey! Where are you going!?", Marshall continued to climb down and yelled up to them," I'm getting that box! Throw the rest of the rope over a branch and down here so we can lift the box up and try to
open it!", He scurried down the tree as fast as a monkey until he reached the bottom," okay!", Marshall waved for them to throw down the rope. Lee threw it over the branch and continued to lower it down. Marshall tied the box onto it and yanked the rope so they could pull it up, the box was slowly being hoisted and There was another rustling in the bushes,

Marshall," Not another one!", the bushes rustled some more and out poped-- Yoshimitsu!

Yoshimitsu," Hey! I'm back!"

Anna was in the tree looking down," So he made it!"

" I came here to tell you-- ARRGHH!!MMPH!", Yoshimitsu was ambushed from behind and a Raptor took him in it's mouth carrying Yoshimitsu away, vaguely resembling a dog carring a nwspaper. Marshall others," Did you see that!? It just took him like hescrambled back up the tree to the was a morsel!"

Bryan sat on the planks with his arms crossed," Good ridden to bad rubbish.", he sneered," What use would be to us anyway? Besides the fact he can camouflage himself well and bears a sword?", All of them shrugged their shoulders. Bryan could be right. What was the use of him away?

They all made a group effort to pull up the box and finally landed it on the makeshift deck.

" Well -how are we gonna get it open then mon?", Eddy asked.

Forrest," Give me your knife.", Eddy handed him the knife and Forrest began to painstakingly pick out the wood around the nails so they could be pulled out. After about an hour of slaving over the box Paul and Bryan pulled it open.

Kazuya," What's this?", he looked inside the best he could everyone else was in the way.

Lei," Well,-- let's see", he began to pull out things, among them was 5 cans of refried beans, 3 cans of peas, one thing of peanut butter, box of crackers {unknown age} vacuum sealed beef jerky, tools, an emergency Flare, first aid kit, lighter, matches, gun with 10 magazines of ammo, a couple pots and pans, blankets, 1 grenade, gun powder, more rope, Brand new captain's log, fishing rod, and electric shaver without batteries, pen, comb, quart of gas, bag of old peanuts, empty pop can, naughty magazine, scissors, flash light and last but not least; a box of Virginia Slims.

Paul," Well fuck! This thang was loaded withe useful shit!"

Marshall," Maybe it was a survival kit of some kind."

Nina stood there looking at the stuff with her arms crossed," Evidentially. A box of that size was sure to have something to that accord."

" It had everything but toilet paper", Heiachi said, Paul then made a snide remark," Don't yas mean 'Depends' geezer?", just for that Heiachi punched Paul in the nose. Heiachi then mumbled," Now you're the one that needs it, especially since I knocked the shit out of you."

Paul rubbed his now swelling nose, Lei was snickering in the background leaning on a branch. Xiaoyu woke up yawning, it was about [ 7: 30Am ]," What's all the commotion about?", She rubbed her eyes so she could see," Hey Hwoarang. wake up. . . ", she nudged his shoulder to
try and wake him up," come on. wake up", Hwoarang turned over on his other side.

Hwoarang," I don't want to get up. Leave me alone.", he continued lying there curled up. Xiaoyu was getting impatient," There won't be any fruit left on the trees if you just lay there like a lazy ass!", she
then kicked Hwoarang to wake him up.

" Ooow!", He sprung up instantly," What did ja do that for?!"

" Because you needed it.", Xiaoyu said under her breath.

" --What was that?!", Hwoarang hissed, a bitch ass fight was just about to
occur.

Julia tried to stop it." Hey, hey now! Stop that! That's the last thing we need! Hwoarang is sick and--"

Hwoarang," I don't need your sympathy! This bitch is going down!"

Xiaoyu," Bitch?! Why you nut licking cock bastard!", she punches Hwoarang and he tackles her in turn.

Julia," Stop it!", she tries to intervene and finally gets them apart.

Xiaoyu screamed," GO TO HELL!!", Lei looked at her and frowned. Hwoarang fliped her off, " FUCK YOU!!"
Xiaoyu," I've had better offers!"

Hwoarang," By your uncle!!", Lei by now was pissed at the red headed Korean's mouth and hit him in the back of the head.

*KA-POW!!! *

Xiaoyu," Yeah, you go uncle Lei!"

Hwoarang," ungh,. . . too weak to fight your own battles?. . . . . ", Hwoarang held on to his head the just so happens to be throbbing right now. Xiaoyu quickly shimmied across the deck with a sudden surge of
concern," Are you alright??",

Hwoarang pushed her away," Get away from me! . . . I don't need your help. . . . "

Michelle saw the whole thing," You know Lei, . . . that wasn't exactly the best action you could of taken.", Lei tried not to make eye contact with Michelle and said nothing, he knew she was right.

Xiaoyu was trying to convince Hwoarang to let her look," Come on. Let me see it."

" I said GET AWAY FROM ME!!! What part of that do you not understand?!!!", Hwoarang threw a wild punch and missed her, he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn right now.

Xiaoyu," Let me see or I'll hit you some more!", she raised her hand and Hwoarang didn't respond so she did hit him.

She hit right on his pain center and Hwoarang about screamed like a little girl if he hadn't stopped himself, Xiaoyu got behind him and hand her fingers in his fire red hair," Ouu, you have a really bad bump back there.", she touched it.

" Ow!", Hwoarang turned away from her," Leave it alone!!", he adjusted his head band over the bump.

Xiaoyu rolled her eyes," okaaay. . . if you insist.", that's when they all heard a groaning sound, Jin was finally waking up.

". . . . .ugh--Aw man, get the number of that semi. . . . .", he peered through one squinted eye," Where the hell am I?", Jin sat up and saw that they were in a tree," Fuck! What are we doing up here?!", he looked down over the edge of the deck. That's when he noticed how much the back of his head hurt, and put one hand behind it," Where's some asprin when you need it?"

Nina rummaged through the first aid kit, there was no asprin," We don't have any. Who put this kit together anyway? A first aid kit without asprin, what next? a can of sealed food without food?", she slammed the kit shut.

Michelle," Now what are we going to do?", he crossed he arms and thought,
Paul was picking fruit from the trees. Marshall was as equally puzzled," What ARE
we going to do?", he thought," We're stranded on a tropical island and are surrounded by Raptors.", that's when a sly idea came into his head, Marshall opened his mouth," Why don't we go to that hotel?"

" Hotel? ", Everyone asked astonished.

" Ya, you know? The one that we stayed in the day before the tournament.", He lifted one dark eye brow.


" That's tha stupidest idea I've evar heard!", said a voice, it was Paul," The Raptors surely had got in there already!"

" Hmm. . . ", Marshall was sort of disappointed," Then how come they didn't get in there when we visited for the tournament? We still might have a chance!"

" Think 'bout dis genius- What if Heiachi had them in holding pens before we arrived on the island?-tch!"

" What's wrong with you laughing boy? Got up on the wrong side of the tree?", Nina remarked with her clever witty charm and one eye brow arched. She was leaning on a branch.

" Watch it harlot!", Paul hissed through his teeth, his fists clinched and turning red.

" Hey, it's not like I'm not present -and 'no' they weren't in holding pens, the hotel was designed to withstand any attack from the monsters.", Heiachi then looked away from them and went on eavesdropping.
Jin then broke the shallow silence," aw, man. I don't feel so good.", he fell heavily backwards onto the deck and didn't appear to look in any good shape at all.

" Jin?", Jun uttered, Jin closed his eyes like he was in some great pain and was sweating, Jun came up to him and nudged his shoulder to get a response but all he did was moan," Jin? Jin?!", She still tryied to wake him up. Jin suddenly felt a sharp pain threw his chest, it was a familiar pain. A frighteningly familiar pain. Jun sat Jin up in her arms and the markings started to appear on his forehead," Oh my GOD!", screamed Jun but
before she could do anything else Jin's eyes opened, this time a bloody red. His bangs began to grow and
became dark, the wings emerged. Heiachi stood there in awe at the sight, his lips quivered and Kazuya was equally as dumbfounded standing by Lee. Jun couldn't move and Jin stood up on the deck transformed, the
wings grew. Jin howled as they spurt out of his back. The pain was intense, . . So intense.

That's when the same pain struck Kazuya, he grabbed his chest with one hand and Lee with the other," arRGHHHH!!!",Lee about pissed his pants.

" WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!??!",Lee shrieked.

Kazuya," AHHH-OhhhHHH!!! WHAT *IRK* THE HELL IS- ARGHHH- H,HAPPENING T,TO ME??!!!"
Jun," AIIIEEEEEEEE!!!"

Everyone," AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Jin," . . . .ohhhhh . . . ", the tranformation reversed and he fell face down on
the deck, Kazuya was still trembling as sweat trickled off his face and he plopped down on the deck exhausted.

" HOLY SHIT!! WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!!",Hwoarang cried Xioayu was holding on to him and he was holding onto her.

Xiaoyu," I'm scared!! WHAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

Lee," I-I think. . . I think I-I'm. . . gonna . . . . . .faint. . ", he looked pale but then again, isn't he always?

Julia was astonished,". . .Jin?"

" Hwoarang, let go! You're squeezing WAY too tight!", Xiaoyu weezed, Hwoarang realized what a wuss he was being and let go looking the other way in embarrassment.

Heiachi," Hmm. . . . ", he was in silence as he thought about what just happened. Lei was standing there by himself shuddering with his gun loosely gripped in his hand, he was too scared to shoot and finally snapped out of it a couple seconds later.

Jun shook Jin and he was limp, he was too tired to move," What happened to you!?", she began sobbing and held on to her son tighter. All Jin uttered was some grunts, Jun turned around furious with tears and
looked at Heiachi," See what you've done to your family?!! You're worse than the spirit controlling Jin!!"

Heiachi said nothing and was still thinking about something. How odd it was, it seemed like Kazuya and Jin some how felt each others pain," Could the devil still have a grip on Kazuya too? ", that just left Heiachi
to speculate. Jin lethargically opened his large brown eyes and looked around him, "W-what happened?", Heiachi was stunned that Jin didn't know what happened. When Kazuya was possessed he was completely aware of what he was doing. Jin however, was different, he had no idea what took place. He wasn't hateful like Kazuya, and maybe, just maybe he had a chance to free himself from this family curse.
