Chapter 7
The First Match


"Nina why do you keep calling me Mishima?" Jin asked Nina.

"Well you are, are you not? I mean the great Kazaya's son right? Nina replied accusingly.

"Yes but only in title, in reality I hate my father, he left me and my mom, he said I wasn't a good enough son for him." Jin told her quietly.

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't know that he was an ass to his own flesh and blood." Nina said apologetically.

"Well forget this...now we have to concentrate on the first match!" Jin said fired up.


On the battlefield a mile away from the hotel, Nina and Jin face Paul and Law.

*WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

And with the whistle they started. Law ran far away from Nina and Paul, knowing Jin was following him.


Nina and Paul

"Well well well if it isn't the Blondie from the last tournament, you're the reason I lost last time and now you'll pay for it with your life!" Paul screamed. Then came hurling at Nina ready to punch her with his famous move right in the stomach. Nina was ready for him but the min he punched her she flew back. She stood up spitting blood out of her mouth.

"I'm surprised Pau,l you've improved. But now its my turn!" Nina spat at Paul.

Nina ran back at Paul at lightning speed and kicked him right at the jaw, his head jerked back slightly and he grabbed her leg and twirled her around, throwing her about 50 ft away from him and came charging at her and then slammed her against a strong tree.

"I told you," Paul said to a limp Nina, walking away.

Then all of a sudden something came and stabbed Paul in the back real hard. He turned around and saw Nina behind him coughing up blood and trying at the same time to keep her knife in his back. He turned around and grabbed Nina by the neck and slammed her against the tree again holding her above the ground, and choking her at the same time.

"You weakling, what the hell did Kazaya see in you." He said to her face.

Nina, with her knee, quickly kicked him right in the crotch. Then pulled both his arms back and broke them at once together, before Paul even realized what happened he passed out and surrendered. Shakily Nina stood up and said to the passed out man, "I have no idea what the hell your talking about, but what anyone ever sees in me is that I never give up even if it means my life!"

With the last bit of strength Nina yelled out what she needed to and then saw a darkness overcoming her and started to fall, right when Jin was walking back towards her from his finished fight. He saw Nina fall and ran to catch her. There he saw Nina had won and carried her, bride style, back to the hotel.


At the hotel

Nina woke in her bed with a compress on her head, she looked around and saw no one in the room and tried to figure out what had happened. "Did I win?" she asked herself. And then Jin walked back into the room.

"Finally sleeping beauty you woke up." Jin said the Nina.

"wh..what happened," Nina asked Jin confused.

"Well you beat Paul and of course I beat law so we are going to start the next round tomorrow with another team, but what I don't get is how you got knocked out after you beat him, and then when the doctor came to check you he told me some cheating went about because you inhaled some kind of fume that makes you light headed and not think properly, so the doc reported Paul in and you still won, so are you feeling any better?" he asked her.

"aaaaaaaaaaaa...." she felt her head fall back on the pillow, " I'm still so tir..."

"Don't worry my beauty just get some rest," Jin whispered into her ear, while tucking her into the blankets, "but don't worry, I wont leave you next time, I wont let anyone hurt you again I swear!" he said to a sleeping Nina.




Rinoa Leonhart: I know it seems like all they're doing is fighting but don't worry it's a slow process. Also I fixed the first chapter, I didn't know it was so screwed up I'm sorry. (Yue Moon: And I REfixed it ^.^ aren't I nice?)
