What I wouldn't Give

Disclaimer: I see I forgot to put a disclaimer on the last chap, so I disclaim that chapter and this chapter. Ok, I don't own anyone ok! Except for Kanji, but that's all!
Kotou: And it is winding down to the end! There's just one last chap, and the alternate one and this fic is over with! Haha! I hope you had fun! This will be quite a twist. Ok, on with the rest of this!
Kanji came within centimeters of Xiaoyu's soft petal lips. As she noticed the burning passion in his eyes, every one of her senses recovered from their paralyzing sleep. She was finally out of her trance.
"No," she whispered. She crawled away from him and quickly arose to her feet. Kanji, realizing that he had made contact with the cold air, opened his eyes and saw Xiaoyu standing alone. He got up to his feet and slowly approached her, placing his hands on her shoulder.
"Is something wrong?" he asked. Xiaoyu smiled and gently rested her head back, leaning onto him. Her eyes looked into his, she had to be honest.
"I'm very sorry Kanji, but I cannot surrender my feelings to you." She took the blue flower from her hair and handed it back to him.
"Why?" He asked forlornly. "Xiaoyu, I love you, and I want you to know that." He said in a low tone. His heart ached, but yet he still felt strong about her. He wanted to show her just how deep his love was.
"I understand that Kanji," she began, "but you have to understand that I cannot return these feelings of compassion and love to you. I do not love you. I can't love you."
"Why is that?" Kanji asked, a bit impatient. Xiaoyu lowered her head, then turned around to face him. Her face compelled passion.
"Because..." She paused for a moment, searching deep in her heart for the answer that bound her. Then, in a sigh, and with a deep breath, she answered by saying, "because... I love Jin. I always had, and I always will." Kanji felt his stomach drop, his heart rip in two; he never experienced pain like this before. Xiaoyu tilted her head and saw the gun. She knelt down on the floor and picked it up, holding onto the handle with a steady hand. "I know you wanted to save me, in return for my feelings, but since I did not return them, you might as well finish what you've come to do." She handed the gun over to Kanji. Kanji took the gun and held it stiffly in his hands. What was she planning on doing?
"Go ahead, shoot me." Jin had heard that from where he stood. He was shocked beyond belief. Xiaoyu was throwing her life away.
Kanji gripped the gun tightly, pointing, and aiming the nose towards Xiaoyu's chest. He would do it quickly and painlessly.
"You know Miss Xiaoyu, you and I could have made a real good couple. I could show you passion and love that you can only dream about." Xiaoyu nodded silently and put her hands in front of her, as if she were praying. She kept her head bowed down to the ground, and did not take her gaze off the grass.
"Is that true?" She asked, with a light voice. "Well, maybe. But I would not be true to myself. I cannot deny my feelings." Kanji walked up to Xiaoyu and tilted her chin up to gaze into his eyes.
"I know. Neither can I." He placed the gun in-between Xiaoyu's chest and began to pull the trigger. Xiaoyu shut her eyes tightly, feeling her tears stream down her pale, soft cheeks.
Jin reacted on instinct. He was not thinking at the time, but all he concentrated on was the gun and Xiaoyu. He could not stand by and witness another loved one die at the hands of evil. His heart raced, pounding violently against his chest. He could not think about anything, he didn't even know how he was going to stop Kanji-but he was going to do it. Time seemed to slow down in his favor. Everything seemed like it was in slow motion. Jin's eye was sharp onto the trigger; watching as every millisecond pass, Kanji's grasp grew tighter. Just then, a burst of energy rushed through his entire body, giving him that extra boost.
~*~*~BANG!!!*~*~*~
The gunshot was loud and broke the definite silence. Xiaoyu's eyes were still shut tight, knowing she heard the gunshot, and feeling the soft grass beneath her body. It was over; she could not believe how quick it was. But yet, there was something strange about it. She could hear her own heartbeat in her head.
'How can I have a heartbeat if I am dead?' She thought. Slowly, she opened her eyes and saw that the gun was lying at least seven feet away from her . She was not dead. As a matter of fact, she was very much alive. Kanji was on the ground, struggling to get free, as one man was fighting, keeping a good grip on him. Xiaoyu could not make out whom the person was. He wore a hooded jacket and the hood hid his face in shadow.
Kanji pushed Jin off of him, and just as he did, he found that he had enough time to get his gun and make his attack. Jin noticed that the gun was Kanji's goal, and that he and Xiaoyu were the targets. Jin saw the innocent girl sit on her knees, looking at the two of them.
"What are you waiting for? Let's get the hell out of here!" Jin yelled as he grabbed her hand. Jin knew that he could fight Kanji. That wasn't the problem. The problem was trying to save Xiaoyu. Kanji would most likely take her out first.
Xiaoyu felt a familiarity with the stranger. There was something odd about him, something that reminded her of Jin. She thrived to know the answer. The question was her undying thirst and she wanted to quench that thirst with an answer. She purged herself to keep her thoughts to herself, but still, there was that uncertainty. Kanji held the gun in his hand, pointing it towards the two of them. His hands shook, from the loss of energy and the strength he lost. He could not keep his aim straight. Instead, he dropped the gun and fell to his knees.
"You aren't getting away that easy Xiaoyu, you'll be sorry soon enough." Kanji said as he fell to the ground. "I swear it," were his last words before he completely fell unconscious.
They ran and ran, and slowly, Xiao felt herself getting tired. She stopped running, just to catch her breath. Jin looked back and saw her; hands on her knees, bent over, and panting raggedly. Slowly, Xiaoyu raised her head and saw him, looking back at her. She couldn't make out his entire features, but knowing that someone cared was enough for her.
"Sorry about all this," she said quietly, "I didn't mean for you to get caught up in this." Jin didn't say anything back. Instead, he looked deeper into her eyes, gazing at her beautiful features. "I wanted to tell you something," she said at last, "who..." Jin put his finger on her soft pink lips. Xiaoyu's eyes widened. He grabbed her by the arm and pulled her into a nearby alley. He pinned her against a building, resting his body on hers. Xiaoyu's face turned fifty shades of red. She could feel his warm breath against her neck.
"Is he still with you?" Jin asked. Xiaoyu mentally slapped herself. She was so lost in her own emotions that she completely forgot how to speak.
"what...who?" She asked. Her voice was soft-spoken.
"Heihachi, is he still there with you?" He asked. Xiaoyu lowered her head.
"Yes. I still live with him, if that's what you mean."
"It's not safe. You are going to have to leave soon." Jin said sternly.
"But I can't! I have to wait...I have to wait..." Xiaoyu turned her head, looking down to the ground at the side of her. "I have to wait for someone." She said at last.
"Is that why you entered the tournament?" He asked. Xiaoyu stalled for a moment. She knew why, but admitting it was hard for her to do.
"Yeah. I entered, hoping that I'll find him." She brought her gaze back to him. "I really truly worry about him! He was always there for me, and I need him. Without him, I feel like there is a part missing from me." Jin lowered his head, resting it on her shoulder. He could reveal his identity right then and there, but she would be put in immense danger. He couldn't do that to her, she meant too much to him.
"I am sure you'll find him one day," he said quietly.
"Have you ever felt that way about someone?" She asked, still quiet. Jin slightly smiled, and nodded his head.
"Yeah. When I left home, there was a girl that I couldn't get my mind off of. She was beautiful, and everyday that I have not seen her, I have regretted not telling her how I feel." Xiaoyu and Jin slowly walked next to each other, heading on their way home. The mansion was only a block away, but Xiaoyu didn't feel like going home so soon.
"Why didn't you just tell her how you feel?" She asked. Jin turned around and looked at her curious expression. The full moon aligned itself perfectly with her body, giving her that heavenly glow.
"Excuse me?" He asked. Xiaoyu placed her hands on her heart, looking longingly into the sky.
"Why...why did you hide your feelings from her? If she was truly as wonderful as you say she is, you should be able to be open to her. I wish I could have told him my feelings. Now, he probably will never know how I feel." A few stray tears fell from her cheek as she began to quietly weep. Jin could feel her tearing at his heart. He wanted to tell her everything, because now, it was killing her. "I want to be loved, I want to be with him, but it's too late." Jin walked up to her, and embraced her in his arms.
"It's never too late," he said, "if you want to tell him how you feel, you should." Xiaoyu smiled, and wiped her tears.
"You think so," She asked, "you think that'll work?" Jin nodded his head.
"I know it will."
"Ok then," Xiaoyu gave him a keen smile, which startled Jin. She rested her hands on both sides of his soft face. She slowly moved her hands to the back of his head, removing his hood. "I love you Jin, I always will." She dazed into his eyes, which sparkled like the morning sun on glass. Slowly, she reached his lips with her own. Passion, burning passion filled her heart. She felt complete once again.
Jin was completely shocked. How did she know? Did it even matter anymore? He was finally happy, and the devil gene within him rested. It was quiet. The light orange glow of the streetlight gleamed off their bodies. Xiaoyu hungrily kissed him, without holding back. Jin held her delicately in his arms; this is truly what he desired.
Xiaoyu opened her eyes. She found herself lying in her bed, tears drizzling down her cheek. Had the whole thing been a dream? It couldn't have been! She was wearing her white dress, so...maybe...she fell asleep after the party. No! Jin was there! She saw him! She kissed him! But it was still logical for her to have fallen asleep after the party. Then she noticed something on her right arm, proof, that Jin was there! Now, all she had to do was get him back. She leaped out of bed and heard Heihachi speaking.
Kotou: WOW!!! That was kind of weird...wasn't it? Well, I tried, I just suck at writing! WAAA!!! LOL! Well.does anyone know what the clue was? Probably not, but you have to think HARD! Lol. Well, I hope you liked it. There's only one more chapter left!!! K! gotta go! Sorry it took so long, but I had to go on a trip! Now I am back in my original home! Japan!!!! WooHoo!!! Well, Jai Ne
