Bonds of Love

Ling desperately shook her arms as she tried to free herself from the chains that bound her and held her several feet above the ground. They were wrapped around her arms, waist, and legs, but try as she might they refused to budge. Tears swelled in her eyes at the thought of what might happen to her. Uncle Wang help me! Jin please save me! Anyone I just want to get out of here! A lonesome tear made its way down her right cheek, and it was soon followed by several more.

Suddenly, her moment of crying disappeared when a tall man walked into the room. His looks weren't anything special, except for his beautiful silver hair. "Shut up," he told her. "No!" Ling screamed back. "Little girl, you will do as I say or else!" Ling tried to act brave, but inside she was shaking with fear. "Or else what?" she questioned, challenging him. He glared at her and didn't answer. Then a fist came flying at her and hit her in the head. Ling felt her head slam back against the concrete that she was pressed against, and she had to struggle against the black dots that appeared in front of her eyes. She looked up at him defiantly, and he spoke. "You look far too healthy and capable of escaping. We can't have that, can we?" He pulled back his fist and punched her again. Please someone help me! She thought as he continued to beat her.

Hwoarang looked up just in time to step out of the way of an infuriated Jin. "Whatever it is, I didn't do it!" He started. Jin chose to ignore him, and he shouted to him, "You and Julia will host the party! I have unresolved business to take care of!" With that he stormed out the door and Hwoarang cringed at the sound of cracking wood as the doors swayed on barely functional hinges. His confusion and thoughts on the matter were suddenly halted as Julia appeared at the top of the stairs.

Hwoarang felt his jaw drop. She was breathtaking, gorgeous! Everything about that dress made her look perfect. Julia calmly walked up to him and whispered in his ear, "do you like my outfit?" She scandalously left Hwoarang standing there very much enticed. If she wants to play it that way, then... Hwoarang raced up behind her and grabbed her. She let out a squeal, but before she could do anything she was sitting on Hwoarang's shoulder. "Let me down!" she screamed at him. "What's in it for me?" he devilishly replied. "I won't kick your ass!" She replied. Hwoarang snorted and kept her on his shoulder. "Guess what Jules?" he asked. "What?" she replied. "We're hosting the party!" he told her. "Oh, why?" she asked. "I don't know. Jin told me to." Hwoarang looked up at Julia. She smiled at him and replied "K then! Now could you put me down?" Hwoarang shrugged and set her down. The doorbell rang and Hwoarang and Julia rushed over to great the guests. The party had begun.

Julia glanced around the room to check for any suspicious behavior. All of the guests seemed regular enough. "Hwoarang, I'm going to look on the Mishima data base for anything concerning the necklace." Hwoarang nodded. While she was leaving he grabbed her hand. "Don't get caught," he whispered. She nodded and headed into Heihachi's office. She disabled the camera before it captured her image and sat down behind Heihachi's desk. Julia diligently worked on the computer, but to her frustration there was nothing about the necklace except for the plans in stealing it. "Damn!" she cursed as she headed out of the room defeated. There had been absolutely nothing on the necklace. Where does he keep it that he trusts enough not to save the data on his computer?

Then she noticed something suspicious. Most of the guests were in the ballroom, but the man she was looking at wasn't. She had a feeling this was something big, so she gently pressed a button on a small device cleverly hidden on the right earring. It would send a message to Hwoarang, and hopefully he'd decide to see what was wrong. "Hello sir. May I ask what you're doing here?" The man looked up at her to reveal startling red eyes and a cocky, confidant grin. "I'm here to see my beloved wife," he replied. "Excuse me?" Julia asked. She barely dodged the punch he threw at her, and she fell over backwards because of the heels. Taking them off, she stood ready to fight. He lunged at her, and the fight began.

Jin threw open the doors to the dojo. Standing there was a silver haired man. "Hello Jin. It's nice to see you again. Though not under the given circumstances. Come, give your Uncle a hug." The man spread his arms out, and Jin had to stifle a gasp of surprise.

It's Uncle Lee! What the... Jin growled and said, "where the hell is Ling, Lee?" The man gave a hearty laugh, and Jin scowled. "That's no way to speak to your Uncle," he said. "Sit down and have a talk. We can catch up on old times." Jin gritted his teeth and asked, "why did you kidnap Ling?" His uncle suddenly got very serious. "I don't have anything against the girl, but unfortunately, my bastard brother and I don't particularly care for our father... So for once we're not trying to kill each other." Jin put on a menacing face. "What does that have to do with Ling? Heihachi's not even here!" Once again, Lee looked extremely amused. "There are other ways to break a person, other than killing them. We're stealing something very precious too him. Capturing the girl was only a distraction to get you away from the mansion. The fun stuff is happening inside. Why you don't you ask your friends. By now they're probably fighting brother dearest." Jin's face paled. Lee continued. "I wonder if he'll have to take the form of the devil to win. That would be rather interesting."

Jin had heard enough. He lunged at his uncle, but he just stood there calmly. At the last second, something cold and metallic caught Jin's hand in its claws. Combot had stepped in to protect his master. Lee walked away, further into the halls in the dojo. "If you can beat my Combot, then maybe I'll let you have your little friend back. See ya later, if my Combot doesn't rip you to shreds." He turned a corner and disappeared. Jin backed away from Combot. If eyes flared red, and in an instant Devil Jin was standing in front of Combot. He didn't look particularly happy. The sound of ripping metal echoed menacingly through the dojo, a warning to anyone who dared stand in his way.

Hwoarang started as the secret communicator he had hidden in the collar of his shirt flashed red. It was a sign from Julia. Shit! What if she's in trouble? He thought before he quickly excused himself from the group of guests that surrounded him. "Excuse me, I need to take care of something." He grinned, and the crowd around him dissipated, joining other groups around the room. He calmly walked out of the room, but as soon as he was out of sight he broke into a sprint, heading towards Heihachi's office.

Julia blocked a kick the man had sent at her. The force of it sent her back, but she managed not to collapse. She ducked down and kicked him under his knee, hoping to trip him. Her foot connected with her target, but the man was not sent sprawling to the ground like she had hoped he would. Instead he sent a punch down at her, and she barely moved back in time. She got to her feet and sidestepped his next move. She used Tequila Sunrise, but it missed. She threw a punch, but the man ducked under her and Julia caught a strong punch in the stomach. She cradled herself as she back off. Damn! He's so fast and strong! How the hell do I beat him? He fights like the Devil! She dodged hid next punch and launched an attack of her own. She missed. The fight stayed like this, with one fighter striking and the other dodging or blocking. It was pretty equal until something horrible happened. Julia tried a high kick, but the man grabbed her leg and threw her to the ground. Julia screamed in pain. She got up and hit him, but he retaliated with a extremely fast flash punch combo. Julia managed to block two of the three hits, but the third one connected, hard. The man followed it up with a knee kick that took Julia by complete surprise. She managed to use her shove it up move, and he was he backwards. Julia panted from exertion. The man got up, and Julia saw that he was still smiling. Suddenly his smile, as well as he himself was knocked to the ground. Hwoarang got off of him and tried to punch him a second time but the man sent flying over to Julia. He got up and Julia regained her fighting pose.

The man laughed and chastised them. "Two on one, that's hardly fair. I'll have to even the odds." Julia watched in horror as he looked up. A purple light enveloped him and several things happened. Black wings grew from his scarred back, average length nails formed vicious claws, tattoos and marks covered his body. "Who the hell is he?" she screamed. Calmly, Hwoarang answered her. "He's Jin's father Kazuya." The transformation was completed and a horrible creature stood before them. Hwoarang turned to Julia, looking scared, and confessed, "incase we die, Julia, I love you." Julia stood in shock as Hwoarang quickly kissed her. The devil turned to them and smiled, "time to die." Hwoarang lunged at him, determined to stop him. Julia followed him into the fight. "I love you to," she whispered. But Hwoarang couldn't hear her. Then again, she hadn't meant for him to hear her. She was going to tell him later. After they defeated this monster. Julia prepared to punch him, and she saw Hwoarang launching a kick. The devil just smirked.

Ling's breathing was ragged. That man had given her quite a beating. She looked up, only to see him coming back. The calm collected look was still on his face. Ling distinctly heard the sound of metal being shredded. What could do that? The vile man undid the chains that bound Ling and she collapsed to the floor. The horrible noise continued, and the silver–haired fiend smirked. "Hear that. It's your boyfriend. He's coming to get you." When Ling heard this she sprung into action. She tripped her captor and started of at a sprint. "Where the Hell are you going?" He screamed at her. Ling didn't answer. She headed towards the screeching metallic noise. Jin was probably out of control, and he needed to be stopped before he did something he would forever regret. Her blood left a trail down the hall, like a gory version of the breadcrumb trail from Hansel and Gretel. She could hear the thundering footsteps of her capture quickly gaining ground. Ling tore off her heels in hope of gaining speed. She swiftly turned the corner and saw what she had dreaded. Large black wings encompassed his frame as the mutated Jin tore apart Combot. The footsteps caught up to her, and Ling felt him grab her from behind. She was too weak to resist him, so as she felt him pull her back to her dreaded prison, she did the only thing she could think of. She screamed. "JIN!!!!"

The desperate sounding wail pierced the still air and echoed off the walls. It reached him and a red gaze met her own. Tears flowed freely from her eyes as she reached out to him. He noticed her unfortunate situation and she felt hid anger intensify. He threw the hunk of metal that was once Combot to the side and faced them. "Let her go," he ordered. His voice was filled with coldness and darkness, but it was definitely Jin. Her captor however didn't seem to fear Jin. He pressed a button on hid watch, and then he lifted a large knifeto Ling's throat. "I'm the one gving the orders now, nephew." Ling gasped as the cold steel dug in to her skin. She felt a sting of pain, and she felt fresh blood drip from her neck. She glanced hopelessly at Jin. His expression never changed. He didn't seem to notice or care that her life was in danger. Ling looked shocked. Is he going to let me die?

So, how do you like? I know a lot of you guys wanted Le as a good guy, but even though he's acting evil now, he's more of a neutral character... Like Sesshoumaru or Kikyo from Inuyasha... As always, please R&R! I want to know your ideas. Also, should my Halloween special be more fluffy-romantic, or more dramatic-romantic, or maybe antsy-romatic. I've already chosen the pairings. They are, Xiaojin, HwoaJulia, ChistieEddie, and SteveMiharu. If you have a problem with these pairings then please don't read and flame me about them later. I promised KrappKarmin that I would use them, and I don't break my promises. However, if you would like to suggest another pairing, then I'm totally open for ideas. Sorry to seem kind of mean, but I really don't want any flames or anything! And finally, costume ideas! That would be awesome! R&R please! Thanks ahead of time! Till next chapter!
