Chapter 6:

Angel Jin

Jin stood over the hospital bed, a saddened face and a caring stance. Kazuya and Jun watched unnoticed by the door. Jin shook his head,

"Stop it. Stop acting like she'll never wake up. She wouldn't want you to be like this." Jin spoke to himself. He turned his attention to the Korean redhead lying in a coma, "Heh, always the one to break in when you could've used the front door." Jin laughed trying to hide all of the feelings of guilt and pessimistic thoughts. He pulled up a chair and sat by Kazi. Jin took her hand. "Wow. Do you use lotion or are you naturally soft?" Jin smiled weakly, one small tear escaping his dark eye. Jin ran his other hand over Kazi's that he held. "I just wish... I just wish I knew what had happened. Then maybe... Maybe I would be worth something to you." Jin felt heavy inside and found it hard to breathe and hold back tears of regret at the same time.

"You are worth something to her..." Jun's voice came. Jin turned a bright red in the face as he turned around to see Jun and Kazuya in the doorway. Kazuya nodded. "I promise." She walked over and embraced him. Jin didn't let go of Kazi's soft hand but hugged his mother with his free arm. Jun pulled back to look him in the face. "You always will. She might not love you like you love her, but you'll always be her best friend. She came to you in her time of need. Even though she passed out before she could get to you. So, you obviously mean something to her. She didn't go to Hwoarang, Baek, your father, or me. She came to you first. And now she needs you more than ever." Jun said, Jin nodded, his mother was always the one to think of things he couldn't.

"I have to be strong. I have to be strong for her." Jun smiled at Kazuya, who returned the expression back to her. Kazuya looked out into the hallway behind him and grasped a nurse quickly by the arm before she kept walking.

"I want her woken up."

"But, Mr. Mishima, sir-" the nurse's eyes were full of fear.

"Do whatever it takes, just wake her up." Kazuya interrupted her. The nurse nodded like a child and ran off to find the doctor. He nodded to Jun and stepped out into the hallway to talk with the doctor.

"Mr. Mishima, the girl is in a coma. We do not know how long it will take for her to wake up on her own. It appears as if she is in what we call a 'Nightmare Coma'. You can already guess what that is." The doctor explained. Kazuya nodded. "She can wake up on her own but that's the only choice except for one we haven't tried."

"And that would be?" Kazuya asked.

"It's an experimental drug, that alters the mind. If it works like it's supposed too, it will be injected into the main blood vesicle that leads to the brain. The chemical will them enter the part of the brain where dreams and nightmares are created. When it enters, it will begin to alter the dream or nightmare, making it worse."

"Scaring her awake.... She's not easily scared though..." Kazuya pondered.

"Mr. Mishima, it doesn't scare them awake, it is supposed to make them open their eyes. And this is just an experimental drug. It has only been tested in simulations. It might not work."

"What is the normal amount, you inject?"

"About a half C or about as much as one centimeter worth."

"Give her ten." Kazuya said.

"WHAT?! T-Ten?! T-That's crazy! Her body and mind would be shocked so hard that she could die! Mr. Mishima, please reconsider!"

"Hm. No. Do as I say or regret it." Kazuya's normally red eye began to glow. The doctor cowered in fear,

"Y-Y-Yes, Sir!" the doctor ran off down the hall. Kazuya stood up straight, proud of himself.

"Kazuya!" Jun's warning tone made him freeze. Kazuya turned around slowly.

"Heh... Heh..." He laughed nervously. Jun eyed him.

"Well?" She asked putting her hands on her hips. Kazuya cleared his throat,

"They are going to make her open her eyes."

"How?" Kazuya walked over to her.

"Well, they are going to try an experimental drug that goes directly to the brain and makes her nightmares worse." Kazuya explained. Jun sighed.

"I hope this works, I can't stand to see Jin this way and it shouldn't have happened to her..."

"Same here." Kazuya agreed.

"Let's hope this works...." the doctor said. Jin watched Kazi's face intently. The doctor looked at Kazuya, "Are you sure Mr. Mishima?"

"Do it." Kazuya ordered. The doctor filled the needle with the green glowing liquid. Jun hugged tight to Kazuya as she watched. The doctor swallowed hard and slid the needle into Kazi's neck, injecting the liquid and pulling the needle out slowly. They waited in suspense. After five minutes the doctor sighed and started to head out of the room. Suddenly, Kazi's body arched and Jin jumped out of the chair, taking her body in his arms and cradling her. The room was still for a moment. Kazi slowly opened her eyes, her vision was blurry. Unknowingly looking at Jin, she whispered,

"Oh.. Wow… I've never seen an angel before…..."
