Disclaimer: Yes, I do own Tekken. And look! Blue pigs are flying through a purple and green sky! (For all of you that don't get it, I don't own Tekken...)
Jin watched in mild interest as that girl went flying into the wall. If she hit the wall she would surely die. Didn't really matter to him though. Or did it? Something screamed from his body that this girl did matter. And suddenly, for some reason, he felt horrified that she would die. When he was around her, he knew he would go to the ends of the Earth to protect her. This weird feeling swelled in his chest as he watched her. Was it love?
She reached an arm out to him, and he just watched her coldly. A hint of something, maybe betrayal or sadness crossed over her face, and Jin couldn't take it anymore. He reached out an arm to her and took a step forward. Fear, horror, despair, and something he couldn't quite place burst from inside of him. She gave him a depressingly sad smile. It didn't suit her face, so Jin did the only thing he could. He slowed her body. She was going to fast for him to completely stop her, but he could slow the crushing speed that she was going at. It would stop her from dying, hopefully. He watched as her fragile body collided with the wall. She let out an agonizing scream, and it penetrated even his cold heart. His father just laughed, a maniacal sound. Jin collapsed to the floor as visions clouded his mind.
His mother was standing there, smiling at him. It was a sad smile, like the one the girl was wearing, but it also held hope. Suddenly Jin came back to reality. The wings on his back retracted, and all the other signs of his devil self vanished. Then the true pain came back. "Ling!" he screamed as he ran towards her limp body. She was struggling for breath. Blood was seeping from the back of her head, and her body looked completely broken. He turned. His Uncle and father had left. He cradled her unconscious body in his arms, and he felt for her pulse. It was weak and slow, but it was still there. "Hold on Ling. You can pull through this. You're strong enough to live." As if she somehow heard his words, her broken body began to breathe easier, and her pulse strengthened and quickened. He allowed a smile to grace his features as he gently lifted his angel from the floor.
Like a prayer, her eyes opened. "I-I'm Alive?" she questioned. Her voice was filled with wonder, and she looked at her hands as if making sure they were still there. He smiled down at her and said, "yeah, you're still alive." She reached a trembling hand up to his face and stroked away some of the tears that littered his smooth skin. I was crying? She dropped her arm and told him, "when I was about to die, I thought about you. I missed you so much." Jin took a few seconds to reply. "I would have missed you too." The conversation dwindled off into awkward silence as they neared the mansion. People were streaming out.
Jin quickly hid in the woods and waited until every single guest had left the party. He silently carried the semi-conscious girl inside and up to her room. He gently set her down on her bed, and gave her a gentle kiss before leaving to search for Julia and Hwoarang.
When Hwoarang lifted his head, he moaned. He was in the stupid hospital again. An amused voice sounded beside him. "Don't worry, you've only been unconscious for a couple of hours, no big thing." He looked over to her and saw that she had said this all with a huge smile on her face. And she looked like shit. Bandages were wrapped around her head, arms, and legs. "Shit girl! What happened to you?" Ling shrugged and replied, "did you know that Kazuya's telekinetic and can throw people into walls without touching them?" Hwoarang shook his head. Ling smiled and continued, "let's just say that I learned that information the hard way..." "Ouch!" Hwoarang sympathized.
He turned to the right and saw Julia. Fortunately, she didn't look as bad as Ling, but she was wearing a knee brace. Slowly he remembered what he had said to her last night and gulped. What if she didn't love him? Nerves took over as he remembered a small box that he kept in his room. He looked over at Julia and sighed. I wish...
His thoughts were momentarily interrupted as Julia awoke with a groan. She turned to Hwoarang, blushed, and looked away. Hwoarang smiled. Maybe there was hope! Suddenly the nurse burst in. You guys aren't seriously injured or ill. You can leave! Julia, just don't stress that knee out." All three of them nodded and walked out of the hospital room. Hwoarang sighed. "Is it just me, or is this becoming routine?" All three of them sighed. They exited the hospital and found Jin was standing beside a silver 2004Cayenne Porsche.
Julia sighed. Last night they had been driven home from the hospital. All day today she had eyed Hwoarang from a distance. Now was her chance. Jin and Ling had left the dojo to go pack for the trip, and she and Hwoarang were the only two people there. Nervously, Julia walked up to the young Korean. "Hwoarang, about last night, did you mean it?" Hwoarang stopped training and blushed as red as a cherry. "Yes," he muttered, looking anywhere but Julia's eyes. Julia felt an enormous amount of joy, and he enveloped Hwoarang in a giant hug. "Hwoarang, I love you too!" Hwoarang returned her embrace but then backed away. Julia watched in excitement a he knelt down on one knee and said, "Julia, I loved you for years, and I know that nothing can change that." He pulled out a velvet box and continued. Julia's heart was beating three hundred times a minute. "You're the only person I could ever even consider spending my life with. Julia, will you marry me?" Tears of happiness streamed from Julia's eyes as she looked into the velvet box. I large, sparkling diamond surrounded by smaller sapphires and Rubies twinkled merrily at her. She could tell that Hwoarang was nervous, but then again, she was too. This was the most important decision in her life. Finally she came to a decision, and blurted it out.
Hwoarang waited anxiously as Julia looked down at him. Tears were running from her eyes. But tears of what, happiness or sadness? His anxiousness was clear on his face as he looked up at her. He could see her struggling to decide, and he hoped that she would say yes. Suddenly her sweet voice filled the air. "Yes Hwoarang, I'll marry you." That was all he needed. He gently slipped the engagement ring on her finger before sweeping her up into a passionate kiss. He felt her smile into his lips, and he knew that they would have a great life.
