An Accident

TOKYO

17th DECEMBER 2011

Jin hadn't slept at all, he was anxious to go to Okutama. Ling was already packing because they would leave in the two o'clock train.

Before lunch Chen Ying went to have a word with Jin, he wanted to know why Ling was going with him.

-Didn't Ling tell you?-asked Jin.

-No. She told me that she was going with you to Okutama and that she didn't know when would you come back…what's going on?

-Well, I'm looking for a relative…my uncle, but I don't want to cause any troubles! If you want I'll tell her to stay.

-No…that would make her very angry…believe me!

-We'll go by train…and I think we'll stay there just for two days, maybe three…I hope!

-I hope you treat my granddaughter with respect…

-Don't worry…

After many recommendations from Chen Ying, Ling and Jin left to the station. Ling was really happy to go with him.

Okutama was a small village in the most rural area in the Tokyo Province. It wasn't very far from the capital, but they had to take two trains to get there. In Tachigawa, Jin and Ling had to change trains, all the platforms were crowded and Ling was almost run over by a group of kids.

When they were inside the train, Ling noticed that one of her bags was missing.

-Damn it! I can find it anywhere!

-I guess you were robbed!-said Jin.

-Please, don't joke!

Jin wasn't joking, and she soon realised he was right. Someone robbed her bag, and now she had no money.

The bad luck was far from over. A few miles after Ome station, the train stopped. Something was obstructing the line and the train had to turn around back to Ome. After a half an hour, they were told that the problem would not be solved until the next morning.

Jin and Ling were forced to spend the night there, because they had lost the last bus to Okutama.

They had dinner in a fast-food restaurant and then they started looking for a place to stay for the night.

But they didn't have much money.

-We can't sleep in the streets!-said Ling.-It's freezing…

-Yeah, I know, but all the hotels are too expansive.

-I'm going to ask someone…-Ling said walking towards a woman who was closing her store.

-We're not from here and we need a place to stay…please?-asked Ling.

-It's a bit late, but my nephew has a friend who has a room to rent. Are you interested?

-Of course we are!

-Ok…I'll call him, wait here!

Minutes later a guy a bit older than Jin showed up. He wasn't very happy but he wasn't rude. He took them to his friend's place.

-Is only for one night?-Keny asked when they got there.

-Yes…

-I guess he won't mind…

-Hey, Keny what are you doing here?-asked a guy who just arrived in a black car.

-Hi, Miura…I got you some clients…they need a place to stay.

Keny left in a hurry and Miura opened the door.

-I only have a room…-he said.-If you don't want to sleep with your friend, you can always sleep with me!-Miura said to Ling.

Jin looked at him with anger. That guy had some nerves.

-You are really very beautiful…-Miura added.

Jin placed himself in the middle of Miura and Ling to stop him from getting closer to her.

-We'll be fine!-Jin said.

-If you need help just call me!-Miura said to Ling.

-She doesn't need help!-said Jin.-Good Night!

Jin pushed Ling to the bedroom and closed the door in Miura's face.

-Jerk!

There was only one bed in the room, and Jin was going to sleep on the floor.

-No way…it's cold! You can sleep on the bed!-Ling said.-There is enough space for both of us!

-Are you sure?

-Yes…of course!

Jin and Ling laid down with their clothes on. Ling fell asleep immediately, but Jin didn't. Something was upsetting him. To sleep in the same bed as a girl was new to him. Besides the girl was Ling. Jin couldn't tell why, but she was special to him. He had seen many beautiful girls, when he was at School, he had his private fan club, but none of those girls had the effect that Ling had in him. No doubt she was beautiful, but there was something else about her that made him feel strange.

Jin watched her sleeping. She was like an angel, his angel. He shouldn't feel anything more than friendship, but he couldn't help it.

Then, he finally fell asleep. But soon he was dreaming. In his dream Jin saw Heihachi, killing his father, Kazuya, with no mercy. Then he tried to run from his grandfather but he caught him and locked him in a dark room. In the dream, Jin was just a child, tormented by Heihachi. He felt lonely in that quiet and dark room, he was hopeless. He started crying because he had cold, and no one was there to help him. Then Heihachi came again and grabbed him. Jin tried to fight, but he was too weak. He only knew that he had to get away from there.

Jin woke up suddenly. He was sweating and his heart was beating so fast that he could hear it. Ling woke up too.

-Are you ok?-she asked.

-My grandfather…I think he's alive!-Jin said sitting down.

-Heihachi? Alive?

-Yes. I'm sure…

-No way…he's dead, Jin…you had a bad dream…that's all!

-But I saw him…

-It was a dream! He died on a plane crash!

-It seemed so real! And he was coming after me…again.

-He's not here anymore. You have nothing to worry about! He's not coming back!

Jin went silent and felt his tears down his cheek. Ling faced him; she had never seen him cry.

-I'm alone…and he's coming for me!-Jin said.

-No! You're not alone! I'm here…I'm here with you!

Ling pulled Jin closer to her and embraced him tightly. Then they both laid down. He felt her heart beats so close to his heart. Suddenly he calmed down and he felt in peace. Now he was sure he wouldn't have anymore nightmares.

OME

18th DECEMBER 2011

It was around nine in the morning when Jin woke up. He didn't recognise where he was but he had a strange feeling, a good feeling that he wasn't alone anymore.

He sat down on the bed and watched Ling sleeping. He smiled. He went to the bathroom and then he left. He was going to buy the breakfast. Outside it was very cold. Jin didn't know if he was making the right thing. Maybe that decision of finding his uncle was a bit stupid. He had nothing on Lee. His uncle was a complete stranger, and probably he didn't want to be found. Maybe they should just turn around and return to Tokyo.

When he got home with the breakfast, Ling was waking up.

-Hi…I brought you breakfast…-he said.

-Thanks…I'm starving…

-I was thinking…don't you think this is going to be a waste of time?

-What?

-Finding a man I hardly know!

-No! Of course not! He's your family!

-But…

-No but! We're going to find him and that's final!

-Ok…I spoke with a man on the streets…he said there is a Transportation Company that's going to send a truck to Okutama today. Maybe we should save the money from the train tickets and see if they can take us!

-It's fine by me…We'll have to pay for this room and I guess we should save the rest of the money to rent a room in Okutama when we get there!

-Lets go then…we have to go to the NihonTransports.

Miura was getting up when Ling and Jin were leaving. They paid for the room and left in a hurry, because Jin didn't like Miura much.

A few minutes later they were begging to the truck's driver because he was not willing to let them go with him. It was his day off but the other driver was sick so he had to make an extra day and he was really pissed.

-I can lose my job…-he said.

-But we need help! It's almost ten in the morning…we lost the train!-Ling said.

-I don't care! You should've gone to the station instead!

Jin and Ling had no other choice, so they jumped to the truck without his consent when he wasn't looking.

NORTH HONSHU

AOMORI

Nina and Heihachi were finally in Japan. They had arrived in a private jet.

Nina was different, her hair was now black and she was wearing green contact lens. They got in a car and headed to a small but comfortable house just outside Aomori, in the North of Honshu, the main Island of Japan.

-One of your many houses, I presume!-said Nina checking the living room.

-Of course! But this one is in Reika's name; otherwise it had been confiscated by the police…

-So…what do you want me to do?

-Nothing…just be my assistant…you need to take care of some businesses for me because I can't leave this house!

-What kind of businesses?

-It's not much…just some things that arrived…

-Things? Such as drugs, guns? Or is it money?

-It's just a very important trade for me…I need you to go to a meeting. But you have an hour to rest…Now you have to excuse me…

-Where are you going?

-To talk with a friend!

-I want to go!

-Fine…whatever. Lets go to my office.

The computer, in Heihachi's officer was on and a man's face appeared on the monitor.

-Who is she, Mishima?-asked the man.-She's hot!

Nina looked to him with despise.

-Just my assistant, Takeru. How are you?

-Fine…Is she your new heir as well?

-No…she's not!

-I'm sorry for what happened with your grandson. He seemed a good kid. I think he needs a bit more discipline.

-Lets talk about business, shall we?

-Sure!

-How many men are in my Tekken Forces?

-About five hundred men.

-That's all?

-Unfortunately…

-I need a bigger army!

-Well they don't know you are alive…you told me to lie to them. If they knew maybe there would be more of them…

-No! They can't know. What did you tell them?

-That they will work for the Mishima heir to revenge your death! I'm paying them with your money from that Germany account…

-Ok. What about the six people I'm looking for?

-I got a phone call yesterday from Tokyo. Jin is there! He's with Ling Xiaoyu…he's back in school but there is a person there to spy them!

-And the others?

-Well, Hwoarang…by the way what the hell of name is this?

-It doesn't matter…keep going.

-Hwoarang is in Osaka. Julia Chang is with him! As for Bryan Fury, his body wasn't found yet!

-So he can be dead…or alive!

-Exactly!

-And Eddie Gordo?

-We can't find him…he vanished…but we know that he has no family in Brazil…

-Good…when I kill him there will be no one to reclaim his body!

-Did you know that Steve Fox is in the Japan already?-asked Takeru.

-Yes…

-He's a little star…I saw him the other day. In Tokyo…he's in a Hotel.

-I'll get him sooner or later!

-Oh…I almost forgot…Jin is travelling.

-To where?

-I don't know…but he's with that girl…

-I need to know where he is!

-It's hard to track him down…

-I don't care! Just find out!

Heihachi left his office and went to his bedroom.

-Tomorrow, you will meet the organisers of the Iron Fist…-said Heihachi at lunch.

-Why?

-Because I want you to present my plan for the next tournament! I want to create new rules and I want you to take care of this…besides, you'll have to enter the tournament!

-What if I say no?

-Please, Nina…remember Anna, your dear sister!

-Fine.

-There will be someone in the tournament that I want you to eliminate!

-Is it Jin?

-No…it's not Jin. Jin is too important to be killed, for now! I want you to eliminate Steve Fox. He's British, and he made a terrible mistake!

-He got in your way!

-Yes.

-What did he do?

-That's another story. He's a professional boxer and he has a powerful technique, but you are better. Besides, he's only eighteen.

-I don't want to do your dirty work!

-Well, I guess you have no other choice…have you?

OKUTAMA SORROUNDINGS

Just two more hours and Jin and Ling were in Okutama. But then the truck stopped suddenly. It was almost seven in the afternoon, and Ling and Jin were caught.

-I told you…why are you so stubborn?-the driver yelled.

-We had no choice!-said Ling.

-If I arrive in Okutama with two illegal passengers I'll be fired! I'm sorry but you have to stay here!

-What!?-said both Ling and Jin.

-You can't leave us here!-added Ling.-We're in the middle of nowhere!

-Bad luck kids! I have my own troubles to worry about! Besides, what are two kids like you doing here all alone? Did you kidnap her?-he asked Jin.

-Kidnap!? Of course not!

-Do her parents know she's with you?

-Yes!

-Do they agree? Or did you run away from home?

-Please! We just want to go to Okutama!-said Ling.

-How old are you girl? Because if you're a minor I will report your boyfriend to the police!

-I'm nineteen…

-In that case you two can do whatever you want, except go with me! Sorry!

The man got in the truck and left them on the road.

Ling couldn't believe.

-What a jerk!-she complained.-What are we going to do?

-It's almost night…we have to walk!

-Walk?

-We have no other choice…lets just hope someone can give us a ride!

-It's getting cold!

After one hour walking, they realised that the road wasn't very used. A few yards ahead the road had no lights, so they could only count with the moon to see where they were going.

-We should have stayed in Tokyo.-said Jin holding Ling's hand and making her blush.

-That man was horrible!

-Are you cold?

-Yes…

-Take my jacket.

-Thanks…

Minutes later, Jin confirmed they were lost, because they were near a dangerous cliff.

-I think we got off the road without noticing…-Ling said.

-Probably…But I can see some lights over there!-said Jin pointing.

-It must be Okutama…

-So we have to pass this cliff…

-There's a bridge…lets go!

Ling and Jin looked to the bridge they would have to cross. It was old and dangerous.

-I don't like this!-said Ling immediately.

-It's the only way!

-Do you think it's safe?

-I don't know…but if we want to sleep in a bedroom tonight, I guess we have to try! Give me your bag! I'll go first!

Soon Jin was in the other side. He didn't take more than five minutes to cross the bridge, but for Ling would be five minutes of torture.

-Don't look down!-said Jin.-If I crossed it, you can do it too…Come on!

Slowly Ling started to cross the bridge without looking down. She was terrified but she kept going.

-Are you ok?-asked Jin.

-Yes…I guess so…

In that moment the bridge started to make some weird noises. Ling was petrified and she tried not to panic.

-Jin…this thing is going to fall! What do I do?-she asked yelling.

-Don't move!-Jin said putting the bags on the floor.

-This is going to fall! Do something, please!

Jin couldn't go to her because the bridge would collapse, so he grabbed the left side of the bridge and pulled with all his strengths.

-Grab the right side of the bridge, now!-he shouted.

Ling did what she was told and the bridge fell. She was projected against the rocks and felt a huge pain on her left arm that started bleeding.

Jin was holding her and pulled her up. She was still in shock.

-Are you ok?-he asked worried.

She just shrugged.

-Oh God, you're bleeding…does it hurt?

Ling nodded.

-Where?

Ling pointed to her left arm.

-Ok…let me see!

Jin tried to look but she had too many clothes on, so he couldn't see the wound.

-I have to take the jacket and your sweater off, ok?

-Ok…-she answered.-I can't feel my arm…

-That's not good!-he said taking her clothes off.-I can't see…you have to take everything off…

-Ok…

Jin helped her and then she started to shiver. He covered her with his jacket because it was really cold and he didn't want to lose his concentration.

-It could be worse!-Jin said blushing.-You are lucky…

-Yes…I was lucky you were there!

-If I weren't there, you weren't either! This is my entire fault!

-No, it's not! You saved my live…

-Does it still hurt?

-A bit…

-Do you think you can walk?

-Sure.

-We have to say that the bridge fell…

Jin helped Ling and they started their way to Okutama again. Now the city was closer, or that was what they thought.

When they finally arrived, they saw that they weren't in the city yet. Okutama was in the valley, and they were just in a little place where there were five or six houses.

-Okutama is in the valley…-said Jin.-I think we better get some help here…we'll go to the city tomorrow…

-Ok…

They entered the only store there and inside was a woman, still working. She wasn't expecting anyone.

-What happened?-she asked when she saw Ling's wound.-What did you do to her?

-Nothing…

-I almost fell from the bridge! That thing collapsed!-Ling explained.

-What? That can't be true!

-But it is! If it wasn't for Jin I would be dead!

-But the bridge is two years old! Are you sure?

-Absolutely!-confirmed Jin.

-I went to the inauguration with my two kids…unless you two crossed the old bridge!

-There's a new bridge?-asked Ling.

-Oh my God! I told to the commission that they should destroy the old bridge, but they never listen to us…Do you want a place to stay?

-Yes…do you mind?-asked Ling.

-Not at all! Lets go to my house…I'll see your wound and then we can have dinner!

-Thank you Mrs…

-Fukori. I live here with my two kids…

Ling and Jin followed Mrs. Fukori. She was very nice and she helped Ling taking care of her wounded arm. Then they had dinner.

Masuo and Natsu where twins, they were eleven years old.

-Why do you live up here?-asked Ling.

-Because it's quiet up here! Okutama is a very noisy town…people are starting to prefer quiet places to live…so I guess things will change very soon…

-Do you know about a tournament that is going to be held in Okutama?-asked Jin.

-I have no idea!

-Yes there is!-answered Natsu.-In a school…

-In your school?-asked Jin interested.

-No…it's in Okita Nesu High School…-said Masuo.-We are going to watch!

-You shouldn't go, Natsu! You're a girl and a girl should never like violence!-Mrs. Fukori said.

-Come on mum…Masuo can go! Why can't I go too?

-Masuo is a boy…

-When is the tournament?-Ling asked.

-Next month…we are on holidays and the commission is preparing everything…the organisers are in the Academy.-said Natsu.

-Are you here to enter?-asked Masuo.-I thought only the students could enter…

-No. We are looking for someone!-explained Jin.-Could you show us where the Academy is tomorrow morning?

-Sure!-said Natsu.-Do you know anything about martial arts?

-Yes…just a bit.-said Ling.

-Cool!!!-the twins said.
