Chapter 2: The Bonds That Tie.
Nina woke to see Yoshimitsu practicing his aim with his Kunai. He kicked up an apple that he had found in his napsack and threw his knife, cutting the apple in two perfect halves. He caught them both and walked to the wall pulling out his Kunai and sheathing it in his wrist holder. He turned to Nina who now was sitting up in her bedding. She was dressed in a grey urban camo out fit with her jacket open exposing her black sports bra. She also had a pair of black fingerless gloves on and her hair in a pony tail hidden under a black barre. She was under a silk padded blanket that depicted an epic war across her body. She looked down and admired it, looking over the craftsmanship of the beautifully woven blanket. "Its beautiful." she said looking at Yoshimistsu who was now sitting cross legged. "My great Grandmother made that me when I was young." he said as he placed another piece of wood on the log cabin he had made for the fire. "Are you sure lighting a fire is such a good idea?" Nina said raising an eyebrow. Yoshimitsu laughed gently and nodded making a spark with a piece of flint and his armor. Nina took time to notice he was in a black suit of armor that had a shine about it in the fires spark. His mask was classic Yoshimitsu with a skeletal look and a line going down the face to open the mask. Nina thought back on how no one has seen his face before, none that she could remember anyway. She was warmed by the fire and she began to get comfortable. She slowly started to go back to sleep as she saw Yosimitsu tending the fire with a stick. He got up and walked to the window of the battle ridden building and saw the night's sky full of stars. The site of stars always calmed him with their lights flickering like fireflies. He thought of his fallen comrades and the good doctor that had offered his services in order to help him conquer the Mishima Zibatsu. "Fury will pay. I will make sure of this personally." He turned back to the site of the fire and Nina. "She will make a valuable ally if she is willing to help me." Yoshimitsu said as he sat down by the fire cross-legged. He resumed rolling the coals around and seeing the sparks.
Brian stumbled along the wall of several ruined houses, his blood leaving a clearly seen trail of blood. He slung his mini-gun over his shoulder and looked for a place to rest. His vision blurring and he found himself walking into walls and pillars. He suddenly saw a red flash in front of him. He tried to swing his gun around but he soon fell to his face. Anna came out of the shadows and saw he was bleeding out. "Shame, he's a fine specimen of man." she said circling him with a slight smile on her face. She gazed over his battle hardened body and his choice of weapon. "Wonder if he's compensating for something?" she said laughingly. "Well I can't just let him die here. I'd better get him fixed up." she said hoisting him on her back and carried his dead weight back to her hideout. She had stitched up his stomach and dressed his wounds. She luckily had the same blood type as him so restoring his blood loss was simple. She hooked up an I.V. with a blood bag she had brought with. "Girls gotta be prepared." she said. She looked over herself and saw she was covered in his blood. "Way to make a first impression." she said as she unzipped her red jumpsuit. She was wearing a skin tight red suit that showed off her curves and was more a taunting outfit than a fighting one. She unzipped the front of her suit and slid her shoulders out letting the arms fall to her sides. She now only wore half of the suit and a back bra. "Now where did I put that dress." she said looking for her black Chinese dress. "Either I'm in heaven or they were really really wrong about hell." she heard behind her. She whipped around with her Bulldog drawn and pointed right between his eyes. "If you had wanted to kill me," he said sitting up on the bed and holding his stomach. "You would have killed me already." he said shooting her a glare of ice that made her skin crawl. Anna just spun the Bulldog around her finger "That's true, I only saved you because i'm in need of your services." she said holstering her gun and raising the top of her outfit back on. She zipped it only half way giving her a still very seductive look. "Anna Williams, and you are?" she said holding out her hand. "Bryan Fury, I don't shake hands." he said getting up and pulling out a pack of cigarettes. "I've got my own reasons for being here, I can't waste time helping you." he said searching his pockets for a light. "If you help me Bryan, I'll help you." she said holding a compact version of a flame thrower out towards his face. She lit the pilot light and Bryan leaned in, lighting the cigarette. "Well i'm not going anywhere for awhile, what's your plan." he said breathing out a column of smoke. Anna sat on her bed and crossed her legs over "I'm after a target in this city named Nina Williams. She's a top C.I.A. agent and one of the world's foremost assassins. She also happens to be my sister." Bryan's eyebrow rose slightly at hearing this. "So why the bitter sibling rivalry?" Anna just uncrossed her legs and got up. "That's not important, all that matters is that she's dead by the end of this little confrontation." she said bluntly as she went to one of her metal suitcases. Bryan sat down in the window sill and smoked the rest of his cigarette. "Sure, I'll help but in return you must help me on my hunt. I'm after the Manji parties' leader Yoshimitsu." Anna at this stopped roaming over her dresses and assorted outfits. "You mean you're out to destroy the Manji party all by yourself?" she said shocked at the prospect of trying to kill the biggest clan in Japan. "Any particular reason why?" she said finding a silk white robe in her suitcase. Bryan started to laugh to himself first quietly then breaking into hysterical laughter. Anna simply tried to ignore the laughter as she unzipped her outfit and slipped into the soft white robe. Bryan turned to her "To tell you the truth...no there's really no reason." he said looking her over and in his mind undressing her. "You certainly don't care to cover much do you?" Bryan said giving her a flirtatious smile. Half his body may be a machine but the other half was still a man. "Why, does it bother you?" she said turning her back to him and giving him a little wink. "Not one bit." he said looking out at the night sky once again.
Nina woke to a few pillars of light streaking over her face. Yoshimitsu had fallen asleep sitting in a cross legged position with his sword in between his hands to be ready at a moments notice. "Good thing he's on my side." she said to herself laughing slightly. Yoshimitsu at this awakened and put his blade to her throat. Her training kicked in and she put her berretta to his temple. They both paused for a heartbeat and noticed what was really going on. Yoshimitsu automatically sheathed his sword in a fluid motion and bowed to one knee. Nina had holstered her pistol and sat forward. "A thousand apologies for my behavior Ms. Williams." Yoshimitsu said, still kneeling at her feet. "i'm not exactly someone to bow to Yoshimitsu." she said folding up his blanket. "Your correct, i'm sorry." he said standing up. Nina just laughed as she put the blanket in his bag. "You certainly are proper aren't you?" she said grabbing her bag of gear. Nina pulled out a clip for her MP5 and secured it in place. "You ready?" she asked Yoshimitsu who now just realized that Nina had put all her stuff in his bag for him. "I...yes yes I am ready. Lead the way Ms. Williams." he said bowing and picking up his napsack.
Bryan woke in the morning to the rustling of clothing and equipment. "Going hunting without me?" he said not even opening his eyes. "Hardly, if you'd open your beautiful eyes once you'd see what I was doing." Bryan at this slowly opened his eyes to see she was walking around in the same silk white robe she wore that night, the light streaming through the thin material. She had been meditating in the middle of the room amidst candles and a ceremonial sword. She was basking in the light of the crisp morning and she seemed perfectly at peace. Bryan got up and put his feet to the cold ground with a thud. He stretched out and the room was filled with sounds of straining metal. At this Anna turned to him and gave him a little wink "More to you than meets the eye." Bryan just sat back down and put his head in his hands. "What's wrong? Had a bad dream?" she said playfully as she went over to him and run her fingers through his hair. "There's just so much I have to do. Sometimes it gets to me." he said looking up at her and gazing over her flowing curves. "Tell you what handsome, after this whole mess is over. I can see if I can get you a job with the agency I work for. We may need someone like you around." She sat on his lap and he laid his head on her legs. She played with his hair more and she looked out the window.
