I don't own Tekken : (
TheWishofNight: I'm glad you like my story. I never thought about publishing it until recently...I'm very happy that other people are reading it because it was only supposed to be for my sister and a couple of friends to read.
I hope you like this chapter too. Thanks again...
BloodCrested: Thanks for your review. I hope you like this chapter too...
Reina-183: You're quite right about translating this story...this is really hard. I wrote this story in three separate Word documents and I haven't finished the first one yet... (I'm crying now). Keep on with Bonds of Love.
After Jin-the hiding
OSAKA
CITY CENTRE
15th FEBRUARY 2010
-What are we doing here?-asked Nina.-We we're supposed to be looking for Jin outside Osaka...
-I need something from here!-said Anna.
-From the Latin-American Consulate?
-Yes...
-Why can't you talk with Mishima, he could give you the information you want!
-This in a personal research...stay in the car...I'll be right back.
Anna left the car and entered a huge building. Jin wasn't very far from there. He was thinking about Nina. He needed to know everything about her and Anna, but he didn't have the means for that. He had to consult the Internet but he didn't have a computer. He was so focused thinking about how he could get a computer that he didn't see a black van behind him.
The tekken forces were there and Jin started running. Osaka streets were crowded. He was going so fast he didn't notice a girl coming in his direction with some shopping bags. He tried to warn her but it was too late. She fell and her shopping was all over the floor. Michelle couldn't believe her bad luck.
-Hey...you jerk! Come back!-she yelled at Jin. But he didn't stop. Ten guys from the tekken forces were still after him.
Michelle looked at those armed guys and thought that Jin didn't have a chance against them, so she followed them.
Jin was in an alley, he was trapped. The tekken forces were all around him. One of the soldiers fired and Jin felt a sharp pain in his arm. It was a tranquilliser. He had about five minutes until the tranquilliser make its effects.
He attacked the soldiers, three fell on the ground unconscious, and then he saw another gun pointing at him. Another tranquilliser and he would fall asleep immediately. He couldn't let that happen, he didn't want to go back to his grandfather.
In the last minute, someone came to his rescue. It was the girl he had seen in the street.
-Hey...why don't you pick someone of your own size!?-she said to the tekken forces.
The soldiers turned around and she attacked. They were seven against one, but Michelle wasn't afraid. Jin was watching the fight closely but he couldn't move. He knew he was lucky because she knew how to fight.
In that moment, Nina was already informed about what was happening, and she got to the alley in time of seeing the last tekken soldier fall in the ground. Jin looked to Michelle, he wanted to thank her but he was too sleepy. Then he gathered his last strengths and jumped a wall, running of. Nina, who was hidden, left immediately, maybe he wasn't far from there.
A few minutes later she went back to the car because Jin was gone.
Michelle was still in the alley. She looked amazed to those armed guys and thought that her skills were really improving.
When Anna returned, Nina was furious.
-He was here!-she announced.
-Who?
-Jin...
-Here?
-Yes. He escaped again...those tekken soldiers are useless! They were all beaten up by a girl!
-Where are they?
-Unconscious...in an alley.
-And Jin?
-I told you...he ran off. I went after him, but he was too fast.
-Why didn't you call me?
-Because there was no time! Damn soldiers!
-You said there was a girl?
-Yes...
-She is our clue...
-What do you mean?
-Maybe she's his friend...can you recognise her?
-Of course...
-Good...lets work then...
OSAKA
16th FEBRUARY 2010
Anna and Nina were on the Central Osaka Hotel. They have been waiting for Heihachi's instructions.
-He said we could do whatever it takes to capture Jin. So I say will take the girl and make her talk!-suggested Anna after Heihachi's phone call.
-Fine...do you have information on the girl?
-Yes. Her name is Sarah Michelle Chang, she's twenty years old and she was born in the States, Arizona, Phoenix. She came to Japan with a tourist passport; she lives in the East-side with her sister.
-She's on holidays? In Osaka?
-Apparently!
-Osaka is not very popular to the tourists, especially the East side!
-Her mother is Native-American, her name is Michelle, and her father, Lao Chang is Chinese.
-What will we tell her?-asked Nina.
-That we're private detectives and we need her help to catch a thief.
-What if she doesn't help us?
-In that case we'll just have to force her to work with us.
Anna and Nina were heading to the Makia Hotel when they spotted Michelle and Mouse on the market.
-Are you Miss Chang?-asked Anna.
-Yes...who wants to know?
-I'm detective Williams and this is my partner...-said Anna pointing to Nina.-We need your help, can you come with us, please?
-We just want to ask you a few questions. You are an important witness...-said Nina.
-It's about yesterday, right?
-Yes...-confirmed Anna.
-Mouse, you go and tell Julia I'll be there in a half an hour...
-Ok. See you later!
Michelle was taken to a building.
-Why are we here? Wasn't this an old factory?
-We are after a thief...a dangerous thief. We just have to keep a low profile. Please, take a seat!-said Anna.
Michelle sat down in a chair next to Anna and Nina.
-So do you know the boy you helped yesterday?-Anna asked Michelle.
-Why do you want to catch him?
-He is a thief...he should be in jail!
-He didn't seem a thief to me...
-So you know him?
-Not really...I just met him yesterday!
-You're not telling the truth...you two seemed quite close...
-What!?
-You saved him...no one saves a stranger life without a reason...
-I don't know who he is!
-You're a liar!
-Anna...don't overreact...-said Nina.
-We need to know everything!
-Look, I just thought that he was being attacked and helped him...that's all.
-Tell us the truth! Where is he?
-I don't know! What the hell is happening? Who are you?
Anna lost her patience and pointed a gun to Michelle, who was confused with all that was happening.
-You will tell us where he is! Do you understand?
-I don't know! Now let me go! You're not detectives are you?
-You'll have to pass over my body if you want to get out of here!
-Fine!
Michelle attacked Anna and her gun fell.
-You know how to fight?
-You can bet on it!-said Michelle.
Nina was watching the fight like nothing was happening. She was thinking that Anna was too impulsive, besides probably Michelle was speaking the truth.
The two opponents had similar techniques, so the fight was going to be long and they were both tired.
Twenty minutes passed, and Michelle headed for the gun that was on the floor. Nina could easily pick the gun up, but she didn't. She wanted to see what Anna would do.
In that moment, Julia was looking for Michelle. Mouse had told her that Michelle went to the old Hisahaga factory.
She was passing by when she heard a shot. She entered the factory and saw her sister bleeding on the floor. But before she could see anything else Nina knocked her out.
-What the hell have you done?-asked Nina furiously.
-She was taking the gun...
-And you shot her!?
-She was going to shoot me!
-Probably she just wanted to scare you and get out of here! And now she's dead!
-I...just fired the gun...I didn't look...
-Lets go...we have to get out of here and we can't leave any proof behind!
OSAKA HOSPITAL
17th FEBRUARY 2010
-How is she?-asked Hwoarang to a doctor.
-Julia is not badly hurt. She has just a concussion.
-And Michelle?
-Incredibly she's alive...I don't know how...she was shot in the head.
-Will she recover?
-I don't think so; neither does the team who operated her to extract the bullet. She is in deep coma...I'm sorry.
Hwoarang watched Julia in the Hospital bed, but she wasn't sleeping. She heard the doctor's words and started crying, silently.
-I'm going to the police...-said Hwoarang.
-Wait! Are you family?
-No...just a friend! I was the one who found them...
-Julia can't stay here! She is not injured, so she'll have to go home...do you know where she lives?
-Yes...I'll pick her up when she wakes up.
-Thanks.
Hwoarang left the Hospital and went to the police station. Lei Wulong had just arrived from the crime scene.
-So...you're entering my police station by your own and free will...I never thought this would happen.-he said to Hwoarang.
-What do you know about the crime?
-We haven't found anything...we have searched everything. How well do you know these girls?
-Well enough to know they didn't have enemies.
-So, you can be a suspect!
-I didn't attack Michelle or Julia. They are my friends! You know I don't do things like this...
-Yes...I know. I was joking!
-This is no time for jokes!
-We can't do anything else!
-I came from the Hospital; they said Michelle will probably die...
-I'm sorry...we will contact their family.
-Just find the person who did this...
-I'll try. You have my word! Maybe when Julia Chang wakes up she'll be able to help us. She may have seen or heard anything.
-I'll ask her!
-You're going to take care of her?
-Sure...I can't just leave her alone in a time like this...
In the afternoon, Hwoarang and Eijiro went to the Hospital again.
-She is practically dead. She will never wake up.-said the doctor.
-Oh my God.-said Eijiro.
-Do we turn the machine of?
-No!-said Hwoarang.-What did Julia say?
-That's the problem...Julia is in no condition to make a decision!
-Why?
-She's suffering from post-traumatic stress...she is in shock.
-Does she know about Michelle's condition?
-I believe so...but she doesn't react, she doesn't speak, she doesn't eat...
-Don't do anything...just let me talk to her first!
OSAKA
18th FEBRUARY 2010
Julia was sleeping in Hwoarang's bedroom. He had taken her to his home, an old house near a river, in the most isolated area in East-Osaka. He was living there with six more Tsunamis.
It was nine o'clock in the morning when Lei Wulong came to see him.
-Is the girl Ok?
-Not really...
-Her family wants her back. Her father works in the American Foreign Affairs Bureau and they want Michelle transferred to Phoenix Hospital. The flight is tomorrow morning. I just want to know if you asked her what she saw.
-She doesn't speak...she's in shock.
-Ok...just take her to the airport tomorrow!
-Fine.
When Hwoarang walked into his room, Julia was waking up.-she was taking many pills to sleep.
-We have to talk...is about your sister...
Julia started crying and hugged him when he sat on the bed.
-Your family wants you to go back home!
Julia held him tightly like she didn't want to go.
-We need to know if you saw something...you can help the police...
Julia just kept on crying. Hwoarang didn't know what to do.
-Do you think it's a good idea to keep her here?-asked Eijiro when Hwoarang step out of his room.
-We can't leave her alone!
-You should have left her in the Hospital...
-Come on...she's alone...
-Fine...but she's bad news...you'll get into troubles!
OSAKA
20th FEBRUARY 2010
Hwoarang didn't take Julia to the airport as Lei had told him to. So, only Michelle went to the USA with a special medical team.
He had tried though. He told her that her family was expecting her, and that they wanted to see her, but she refused to leave the bedroom, and he couldn't force her to do something she didn't want.
Eijiro and Hwoarang collected all Julia and Michelle's things in the Makia Hotel.
-She'll have to stay in your room...-said Eijiro.
-I know! I'll have Guri's room...he went back to his parents' house...
-What if she never recovers?
-Don't say that! She's like this because she's taking medicines...
-Wulong said they are going to close the case...
-I heard...there's no clue, no evidences...
-He promised he would open the case again if something new shows up...
-Good...I'll make sure he does that!
TONO
28th FEBRUARY 2010
-So you did come back!-said Mrs. Morizato smiling at Jin.
-Hi! Yes...I did.
-How was your journey?
-Fine...thank you...
-Your little house is still available.
-Can I stay here for a little while?
-Sure...we missed you...my husband is always asking about you. Do you want to take something to eat?
-If you don't mind, I will!
-Of course I don't mind...
-Thank you...
-So what did you do out there?
-I just walked around...travelled a bit...
-Isn't your family worried about you?
-I don't have any family!
-But there is always someone important for us...
-Not for me...
-Not even a friend?
-I had friends once...but they weren't my true friends, though...
-What?
-There is a girl I met...recently...she...
-See. There's always someone...is she your girlfriend?
-No...-Jin said blushing pink.
-You're a nice boy, but you're a bit weird...
-Maybe...
TOKYO
SHINJUKU
-Mr. Cusak?
-Yes?
-It's me...Eddie...
-Come in and close the door behind you!
-Didn't Mr. Takino warn you that I would come here?
-Yes, he did...I'm sorry, but I have many projects...
-Does Heihachi know we have met?
-No...and lets keep this that way. It's safer...So you want to know about the Williams sisters, right?
-Yes...what can you tell me?
-They are Irish. Their parents were Susan and Richard Williams; they were a very famous couple. They had a jewellery business all over the world and they had been in Japan for several years, until the accident.
-What did they trade?
-Diamonds, and specially pearls from the Asian See.
-What about the accident?
-It's not documented. I couldn't find anything; I just know there was an accident because it says on their obituary. Anna Williams is in Japan for over three years. She is graduated in Law in the University of Tokyo. About Nina, I couldn't find a thing! It's like she never existed! But I found records about her being in the Hospital, but I don't know where or when...it's all I can say...
-So I'll have to find out for myself.
-Be careful. Heihachi is no fool! What are you going to do?
-I don't know yet!
-What about his grandson...
-What about him?
-He is the Empire heir!
-He ran off. He is not interested in his grandfather's money. Besides he's just a kid...
-People say he is a great fighter!
-So am I.
-Anna and Nina Williams are experts in Bone and Aikido. You better be careful with those two.
-I want to know what's happening in Mishima School two, because I think that's not a normal School.
-Maybe...I'll investigate...and then I'll contact you again...
-Ok. Thanks.
OSAKA
17th MARCH 2010
-This can't go on!-yelled Eijiro.-She is not cooping...it's been a month and she's not recovered! I can't hear her crying anymore!
-Look...I know you're right, but I tried to talk to her and she doesn't let me!-said Hwoarang.
-Please, stop training and do something!
It had passed a month since Michelle was in coma. She was now in Phoenix Hospital. Her parents were taking care of everything, but they were also worried about Julia.
Lei Wulong received several letters from the American Consulate, to send Julia home, but she refused to go. Apparently she was still in shock.
Hwoarang had told her that Michelle wasn't dead, though she was in a deep coma. But Julia didn't react. She couldn't express her feelings and she wasn't ready to face her parents.
-Look, if you want to get rid of her, be my guest! Go to her room and throw her out! I don't care!-said Hwoarang.
-What?
-You heard me...go on...
-I can't believe you're saying that!
-Do you think it's easy for me? I know I shouldn't have brought her here, but I felt sorry for her! She is in the same situation as you and me...and what did I taught you?
-To stick together and help eachother!
-That's right...so tell me what should I have done?
-I'm sorry...I'm being selfish! She deserves our help...but how can we help her? It's been a month...
-You know what?
-What?
-I think you're right!
-What?
-I think I should take her to the damn airport and send her home!
Hwoarang couldn't take anymore. Physically Julia was fine, but she was giving him a hard time. All she could do was cry at night. She wasn't eating, drinking or talking. She just had locked herself in the bedroom. Sometimes she walked along the house just like a zombie.
Hwoarang didn't know what was happening in her mind but he had enough. Besides he could get into troubles with the American Consulate and Julia's family.
When he got to her room the door was locked. He knocked but she didn't answer, so he decided to use force. Two minutes later, the door was on the ground in two pieces.
Julia was sitting on the floor, with her arms around her knees. She seemed empty.
-I understand what you're going through, but you have to snap out of it! Your tears will not help your sister!
Julia looked at him but didn't say a word.
-Are you hearing me? I brought you home because I didn't want you to be alone! But it's been a month and what have you done? Nothing...absolutely nothing...I thought you were stronger than this. I've been taking care of you and your problems! When are you thinking about doing something useful like go to the police to tell them what you saw?
-STOP! Stop talking about this! I don't wanna talk to you! I just wanna be alone!
-Do you think your sister would like to see you like this?
-Shut up!
-No...I won't shut up until you tell me that you will react and fight against this!
-I can't! I just wish this was a nightmare!-Julia said getting up.
-I understand!
-No you don't! You don't understand anything! You didn't lose a sister!!!
-You're right...I didn't! And you know why? Because I have no one! I don't have parents...I don't have a brother or a sister to comfort me...I was alone...but I've got friends! And so do you!
-Friends!? Is that what you call to a group of thieves?
-Why not? They all have problems like you and me...and we all helped eachother, so I think I can call them my friends!
-Shut up! I don't need you! I never asked for your help!
-Fine...I knew I shouldn't help you!
Julia was speechless. Then she realised she was wrong and should never tell him that after all he did for her.
She left the room running and crying. Hwoarang followed her. Eijiro was in the living room listening to their fight when they both left home. He followed them too.
-Where the hell are they going?-he asked outside the door.
-It seems to me they're going to the river!-said Mouse.
Mouse was right, and when they both get to the river bank, Julia was diving in the river. Hwoarang pulled her back. He was afraid she would commit suicide.
-What do you think you're doing?-asked him.
-I...was just refreshing my thoughts...don't worry, I wasn't thinking about suicide! I'm much better now...
Julia and Hwoarang left the river. They were both soaking.
-Are you sure you're OK?-Hwoarang asked.
-Yes...I'm fine...thanks to you...
In that moment Julia collapsed, but Hwoarang caught her.
-What's happening?-asked Mouse.
-She fainted!-said Hwoarang.-Well she doesn't eat for almost a month...
-Take her home...-said Eijiro.-She needs to rest!
Hwoarang took her in his arms and they went home. He was now sure that everything would be alright because Julia was finally back.
