Chapter 7 Enemy's to friends?

Jin was extremely glad that he had his hood up when the rain poured down from the skies, Jin looked up slightly, there were dark clouds everywhere, and Jin figured that there would be thunder. "Bloody Hell! what a time to drop us of eh? I wonder if I'll see Julie while I'm here..." Steve Fox, his helicopter partner sighed.

Jin rolled his eyes at Steve and resisted the urge to point out to the British boxer that her name was actually Julia, but he decided not to, the boxer seemed more interested in there surroundings, while his Hawaiian t- shirt and blue shorts got completely soaked; if the brash boxer was uncomfortable with being wet, he wasn't showing it, he seemed completely at ease in the rain.

"Which way do you think we should go?" Steve asked Jin, who replied with a shrug and began walking off in a random direction, Steve following. The two walked a little while then-

"Lee! That was my foot!" Jin turned sharply at this outburst, he knew whom it was, and he recognized her voice. Suddenly Lee Chaolan burst out of the trees and landed flat out on the floor, groaning as he tried to pick himself up. "Hey you okay mate?" Steve asked helping the ruffled and dishevelled silver devil up off the ground. "Yeah I'm just peachy" Lee muttered sarcastically as he brushed himself off.

"Lee you really have to master the art of sarcasm, because that was lame!" Jin turned and saw jade appearing through the tree's, a smirk on her face. Lee scowled at her, but she just laughed. "You'll, have to work on that too!" Lee ignored this remark." Jade you are so not funny, I could have broken my neck when you shoved me through here"

Jade rolled her eyes at him as she sat down on a tree stump. "Whatever Lee, man your going to have to stop being so bloody uptight, you remind me of Tila..." Lee rose and eyebrow and sat next to her "Who?" Jade smiled sadly, and her hand, once again Jin noticed, wrapped itself around the pendant on her neck. "She was my master...she was just like you sometimes..."

"Look I don't mean to be rude or any thing, but it' s pouring it down with rain and were currently lost, do you two have any idea where we are?" Steve interjected. Jade and lee looked at one another and both shook their heads. "Nope, were as lost as you two..." jade then stood, brushed herself down, and began climbing the nearest tree. "Jade what are you doing?" Lee asked there was an impatient sigh from jade as they heard her climbing, higher and higher.

"I'm climbing a tree to see if there's any clearings or any sign of life anywhere, it's called using your survival instincts Lee" Jin chuckled and Lee glared up at the tree wishing he could see her in the thick undergrowth. There was silence for a while until they heard her coming back down. "Well there's no surprise all I can see is trees, trees, tree's, a few big clouds of smoke and oh yes, more trees!"

Steve and Lee chucked as jade came down, then a twig snapped. "Shit!" was all they heard as more twigs napped and they could hear her plummeting to earth...when Jin caught her. "Jade, who had her eyes closed when she was falling, opened then and locked with Jin's warm brown one's. She quickly jumped off Jin and brushed herself down, hoping that her blush wasn't too evident. Unfortunately for her Lee had seen all and had just put Two and two together.

"I say we go in the direction of the smoke I saw" Jade muttered avoiding both Jin and Lee's eyes, but she knew the Lee was giving her a sly, knowing look which was very annoying, and Jin was looking, well, blank. Steve and Lee walked ahead leaving Jade and Jin as the back, the two walked in an un comfortable silence, until Jade decided to say something. "Erm, Jin, thanks for catching me..." Jade muttered keeping her voice low, in case Lee decided to shoot her that annoying look again. Jin rose and eyebrow at her apology, she was actually being well, nice to him.

Jin didn't reply fro a minute before he answered. "I want us to be friends" Jade stopped in her tracks and stared at Jin in disbelief. "What?" Jade stammered. Jin stopped too and faced her, he was wearing a determined expression, and Jade knew by instinct that she wasn't going to get away from this conversation. "I want us to be friends Jade, I don't want to be your enemy, I have enough people trying to kill me as it is without you adding on to it, I want to be your friend..."

Jade hung her head and sighed before she carried on walking. "Jin...you know as well as I do that it isn't as easy as it sounds, I'm trying to kill your family for god's sake!" Jin followed before he grabbed her arm gently and forced her to look at him. "When was something worth anything easy?" Jade blinked at the determined glint in the Japanese youths' eyes before she sighed and shrugged in defeat. "I'll think about it okay?" Jin shot her a small smile and let go of her arm.

"Hey you two!" Steve called, both looked to see him quite far away, just peeking out of the trees. "You'd better take a look at this" Jin and Jade exchanged a puzzled look before running and following Steve. As soon as they entered the clearing Jade gasped, there, in front of them were the burning, twisted and charred remains of a helicopter, the bodies of dead guards all over the place. Jin looked at Lee. "Did you ride in this Helicopter?" Jade shook her head.

"No, ours crash a while back in the other direction..." Jade bent down and examined one of the soldiers, Lee Steve and Jin gathered around her as she stood. "His neck broken, Hwoarang was in this chopper" everyone exchanged a look with one another before looking at her in disbelief. "How do you know that?" Lee interjected looking at the dead body as if the answer lay there.

"There's a boot mark on his windpipe, Hwoarang's used neck breaker, it's a Tea Kwan do move and only me and Hwoarang who are in the tournament know it" Lee and Steve looked at one another. "They can't be far then, the body is still warm, come on lets find them" Jade nodded standing and waling through the trees when Jade spotted something...

"It's one of Ling's bangles" Jin interjected as he realised what Jade was holding. "They've definitely gone this way" Jade nodded and the four of them rushed through the undergrowth of the forest hoping to catch up with the two missing persons. They eventually found Ling and Hwoarang, Ling fast asleep next to Hwoarang, who looked like he was about to die from boredom.

"Hwoarang!" Jade called as soon as she caught sight of the red head. Hwoarang stood and the two embraced in a hug. "What the hell happened? We saw the chopper and the guards..." Hwoarang shrugged and grinned his red hair sticking to his face and the back of his shirt. "Nothing much...the chopper landed and these guards came out of nowhere, they attacked the chopper so we had to jump out, then these guards attacked us we kicked there asses and escaped, and we've been waiting here ever since, Ling fell asleep from boredom, believe me I was about to follow suit until you guys came"

Jade smiled and shook her head, just as Ling began to awaken. "What, where's the bomb?" Ling muttered sleepily, rubbing her eyes. Jade resisted the urge to laugh and helped her to her feet. "Snap out of your stupor Ling you have a visitor" Ling blinked and locked eyes with Steve.

"You're my opponent?" Ling asked pointing a delicate finger at the British Boxer. Steve nodded and took his stance waiting. Ling stretched, and then took her mark a little way away from him. "Don't go easy on me just because I'm a girl" Ling said as the two fighters slowly circled one another, Jade nudged Lee and Hwoarang and tugged at Jin. "Let's leave them to it, we have our own opponents to find"

The four fighter's left the clearing and headed deeper and deeper into the forest, what they would find out there...will soon be told...
