Chapter 4

Another day of school gone by. Ling was never into school that much. She made decent grades but otherwise it was pretty boring. She was walking down a busy street after school that day. Her startling discovery last night hung in her head. What was Heihachi up to? What would he do if he found Jin? She grew determined to find Jin and warn him at all costs.

Behind her, a black car pulled up and slowly followed her. Ling took occasional glances at the car. It had tinted windows so she couldn't see the driver. As her suspicions grew, she noticed an alley to her right. Suddenly, she sprinted down the alley in hopes of losing the car. As she turned back to look, the car stopped and four men with black suits and dark sunglasses stepped and approached her. One of them spoke "Ling Xiaoyu? On the orders of Heihachi Mishima, you are to come with us." Ling was astonished. Had they found her out? "What do you mean?" she asked. With a slightly irritated voice another man said "We have a surveillance tape that depicts you accessing Heihachi's private files. If you do not come quietly, we will be forced to take you. You don't want that, do you?" The other men laughed but little did they realize that Ling was starting to get mad. One of the men reached out and grabbed Ling's arm. BIG MISTAKE. Ling twisted his arm and pulled it down, flipping the man over. Another one ran up. Ling used her Storming Flower, thrusting her palm into his stomach. He was sent flying into a dumpster. The two other men ran up. Ling did graceful front layout, landing behind them and delivering a swift kick to one who turned around and sweep to knock the other off his feet. Looking back to the street, Ling saw another car pull up and more men jumped out. Ling sprinted down the alley taking a right at a fork to come face to face with four more men, each holding a pistol. Ling turned around went the other direction. The unmistakable sound of gun fire erupted and Ling could feel the bullets whizzing past her. She burst out into another street and rolled over the hood of a passing car. Darting into another alley, she rounded a corner and stopped to catch her breath. When she was about to move on, a man hiding in the shadows raised his gun up and hit Ling over the head. Ling became dizzied and disoriented. Colors and blurred together. She tried to run, but her body felt numb, so hard was the blow. She collapsed...

With her eyes slightly open, she could make out the shape of a man holding a gun to her face. Suddenly, he was knocked away and the sound of a body hitting the floor registered a thought of hope in her mind. She could hear more fighting. Yelling, punching, bones breaking, she not could tell what was happening but she had one directive. Had to run... Had to get away... It was no use but somehow, the fighting stopped. The last thing Ling saw was a man in a hooded jacket reaching down to her. Then she blacked out.

Swirling masses of light and shape bombarded Ling's eyes. She awoke in a small bed. Raising herself up, she felt the bump on her head. It hurt but she felt alert and ready. Her vision was returning to normal and when it did, what she saw put a huge smile on her face. "JIN!!" Jin was leaning against the wall with his arms folded. He looked very calm and cool, just like always. Ling jumped out of the bed and ran to Jin, putting her arms around his neck. Jin took a step back almost as if he was afraid. Eventually he put his arms around her as well and the two embraced for a long time. Finally, Ling stepped back. "Jin," she said. "I can't believe it! You're alive!" "I won't die that easily," he said with a small smile. Ling told him everything she knew, about Heihachi, his plan, and the danger he faced. Jin took it all in with a strange coolness. When she was finished, Ling asked him what he was going to do. Jin stood up and said "The only thing I can do is... kill Heihachi. I know it sounds terrible but he wants to kill me. After all he betrayed me. Everyone has betrayed me. Sometimes I think even mother betrayed me." "Jin! How could you say that? She loved you and-" "Really!?" he yelled fiercely. "Why did she have to abandon me!? If it weren't for Ogre... ARGH!!" He fell to his knees and pounded the floor. "Jin, what's wrong!?" Ling said. She then realized that perhaps this Devil Gene was doing it. She put her hand on his shoulder and helped him up. "Jin, I can't even imagine what you've gone through." Ling said. "But I'll help you do anything. I promise." Jin looked at her. "Do you know what the Devil Gene has done to me?" "No..." Jin removed his shirt to reveal large black marks on his entire upper torso. Ling stepped away and gasped. "What- what is this?" "The Devil Gene gives me power beyond belief. But, it is so hard to control it. I'm afraid I might try to hurt you and I couldn't stop myself. That's why you have to get away from here, Ling. Fast." Ling thought for a minute. She had no idea how this happened to Jin but... "Jin, I'm going to stand by you always. So don't worry." Later that night, Ling was sleeping in Jin's bed, while Jin laid down on his couch. All he could think of was his revenge. Thoughts of anger and hate continued to consume him and surprisingly, it helped him sleep.

Kazuya awoke to a sudden pain searing through his chest. His scar was burning again. It had been ever since he realized and used his power. He grew more determined every day to kill his son. Once he had done that, all will be his. All.

I know this may be a little Xiaoyu/Jin thing, but trust me it's not the focus of the story (sorry, Xiaoyin fans). Anyway, I'll try to get chapter 5 up ASAP so thanks for reading.
