Chapter 2: The Start of a Journey

Jin:                   Xiao! I'm coming!

******

Man:               It's been nice knowing you Ling Xiaoyu. But now it's time to say goodbye!

Xiaoyu:           No! Please don't!

The man in the Zaibatsu suit slowly moved a gun towards Ling Xiaoyu's head.  Xiaoyu closed her eyes

And prepared for the worst. She didn't think she would make it. It was just a few seconds from pulling the

Trigger and Bang, she would be dead.

Xiaoyu:           Why?

She thought.

Xiaoyu:           Why? What did I ever do? What did I ever do to you?

She slowly looked up at the man who was going to kill her. She looked into his eyes with pity.

The man then gave back into her eyes. He seemed to have regrets for a second. She was so young. Why

Did he have to be the one to end her life? But then more important matters popped back into his head, "money".

He quickly regained his thoughts and aimed right at her head.

Man:               It's a pity, to waste such beauty.

He smiled and lifted her chin.

Man:               Oh well, money is always beautiful isn't it?

 He pushed the gun to her fore head. Xiaoyu smiled at him.

Xiaoyu:           Do it.

Man:               What?

Ling xiaoyu only grinned more.

Xiaoyu:           Do it! I dare you!  What's wrong?

Man:               Are you mocking me?!

Xiaoyu:           What's the matter? Can't do it? That's because you're a coward! You're pathetic! Doing all of

Heihachi's evil deeds! You're nothing more than his dog! I pity you!

Man:               Shut your mouth you little *%@#$!!

He hit her across the face with such power that it sent her flying back.

Man:               This is the end for you!

He aimed for her head. Xiaoyu closed her eyes and was suddenly surrounded by darkness. She was then lost in her thoughts.

Xiaoyu:           Jin, where are you? Help me…..please!

She slowly opened her eyes.

Xioayu:           This is it…..

She closed her eyes .

Jin:                  Xiao!

Xiaoyu:           What? Jin!

Man:               What! Kaza….

The man was knocked to the ground and unconscious before he could finish his sentence.  Jib was then surrounded by the Zaibatsu.

But they were all unarmed. They were sent to retrieve Ling Xiaoyu. Heihachi thought it would be easy, so he didn't bother to

Have them armed. One by one they fell. Obviously no match for Jin. Xiaoyu quickly regained her strength.

Xiaoyu:           Jin needs my help.

She started to run to his side, but was stopped by a wall of the zaibatzu forces.

Xiaoyu:           So you wanna play? Very well!

She was fighting them off and simultaneously trying to keep an eye on Jin. She was almost complete when she saw Jin hit from the

Back and fall to the ground.

Xiaoyu:           Jin!

She was distracted and hit.

Woman:          Never let your guard down girly!

Xiaoyu:           Why you!

She hit her to the ground. The women got up holding her face.

Woman:          You're going to pay for that!

She quickly came after ling.

Xiaoyu:           Hey look! It's Steve!

She painted in back of the lady.

Woman:          What where?!!

She turned around then, BAM! She was knocked out cold.

Xiaoyu:           Next time take your OWN advice. Never let your guard down.

She got up a d looked around. All she saw were bodies all over the ground. But where was Jin?

Xioayu:           Oh no….

She ran through the alleys hoping she could find him. The she spotted her target. He was walking slowly so she decided to sop and take a breath. 

She had been running for a long time. She bent over and placed her hands on her knees.

Xiaoyu:           Hey…..Stop!

Jin's eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe she found him. He had no other options but to stop.  He stood there with his back facing her.

Jin:                  ….You need to work on keeping your guard.

Ling looked up in confusion.

Xiao:               You need to keep your guard on? Is that all you have to say?!

She was a bit angry. She hadn't seen jin in two years. Coming to see him was one of her reasons to enter the tournament. She finally sees

him and all he had to say was "you need to keep you r guard on"? She stood up trying to make sense of it all. Jin Kazama was always a hard person to figure out.

Xiaoyu:           Well? Is that all you have to say?

Jin:                  There's nothing else TO say

He kept walking. Ling couldn't believe it. Her eyes widened in shock. She closed her eyes tightly trying to find the right words to say as anger rolled in.

Xiaoyu:           Jin Kazama! Don't you dare walk out on me!!

He continued to move forward.

Xiaoyu:           Hey! I'm talking to you!

He didn't stop.

Xiaoyu:           you can't even say "Hey Xiao"?!

She bit her lip. To continue would only bring her tears.

Jin:                  ….Hey.

He said t in such a monotone voice, that it brought tears to her eyes. It seemed like he didn't care on bit as he continued to walk on.

Xiaoyu:           No. I didn't mean like that…..It's just that….I…….

Jin continued walking. It was silent and he thought she had left. When he glanced back, he saw her. She had her head to the ground. Her eyes were shut tightly but

He could see tears roll down her face. She clenched fists at her side and she seemed to tremble a little. He looked straight ahead, but couldn't get the image of

Her out of his mind. He thought he might as well say something. After all, he probably would never see her again. He stopped.

Jin:                  Hey Xiao.

She quickly jerked her head upward.

Jin:                  I just wanted you to know that I missed you.

He bit his lip/ Ling's eyes widened. She didn't know what came over her, but the next thing she knew, her feet wee moving.

Jin:                  Hey xiao, did you hear me?

He could hear footsteps approaching him.

Xiaoyu:           Jin!!!

TO BE CONTINUED……
