Chapter 10 Visit from the past (part two) Unspoiled fighter, Jin remembers
Dawn, a peaceful Saturday morning in Tokyo. The sky didn't seem to hold a single cloud, not even one of those big fluffy cotton like ones. While the wind slowly passed the gable every soul in the whole world could find peace in mind. Until an alarm clock sounded to announce that it was time to rise… … …
-WHAM- and the alarm clock was no more…
"One hour" He mumbled "One damn hour."
Jin hadn't been able to fall asleep last night. Not until five in the morning had his brain allowed him to slumber in an uneasy sleep. Exactly one hour before training. He yawned and rose to a sitting position in his bed, he rubbed his eyes slightly before he rose to grab a morning robe. His eyes started to seek something that could tell him that he really was awake. Well, the alarm clock wasn't a candidate anymore. His eyes first fell on the desk, not good enough, then they moved across the wardrobe and on to the balcony.
He noticed his combat cloves lying on the ground. He started to walk over to pick them up. On his way over there he also noticed that the doors to the balcony weren't shut. He frowned lightly and tried to close it. His eyes scanned the doors for what the problem might be. And when he lowered his head a reflection of the sun (there is a much cuter word for that in Swedish -Solkatt, directly translated it means suncat, just wanted to share ^_~) hit his eyes. Between the doors laid the light-blue stone in a silver chain. The morning sun made a quite strong reflection from it. He let his finger caress the stone's surface. Not a single crack could he feel on it. Despite his efforts last night. He had become quite angry with Ryuu at last and had tried to break the stone. Although it had showed to be futile. He picked it up and let it roll from one side of his palm to the other.
Others then Jin had experienced the hypnotic ability of the stone. But Jin was about to experience it for the first time now.
~Flashback~
He saw before him a thirteen-year-old girl. She was smiling in the sun. The wind was blowing, catching her dark red hair and with the sunrays it almost seemed as if it was on fire. The girl had this sweet sense of innocence that every little girl has when they are untouched, naive to the world. He recognized her. It was Ryuu as a young girl. Back then her hair was darker and her eyes were brighter. Yeah, her eyes were almost just as bright blue as the pendant she wore. Her hand was clenched around that pendent the first time he saw her. She wore the classic Japanese school suit. He hadn't cared at first when she was walking staring at the ground beneath her, but when she raised her eyes and looked straightly at him… that gave her his full attention. The instant she met his eyes she stopped. He wasn't alone really. Two other guys were "with" him. Threatening to beat the crap out of him (Like they would have succeeded .). She just tilted her head and smiled that strange smile of hers and spoke.
"Zephyr, Tai what are you guys up to this early?" She said with a voice just as sweet as the new harvest honey.
One of the guys turned around as the other still held a knife sharp at Jin's throat. He looked at her from top to toe. Like he was checking her out. And his eyes said that he was pleased.
"Well, well, well who do we have here. Isn't it daddies little girl Ryuu… Does your father let you walk all alone to school?" He said with a grin.
Her hand let go of her pendant and she took a grip on the bag she was carrying in her other hand. She still smiled; tilting her head caused a few of the curled locks to frame her face.
"Yeah, can you believe it…" She just answered not taking her eyes of the dark haired boy she had called Zephyr.
His skin was strangely pale. As if the suns rays never had reached him somehow. He took a few steps up to her and released her from her school bag, witch he tossed into the bushes; he grabbed her hand and smirked.
"Why don't you and I spend some quality time together."
Ryuu knew what he meant; everybody knew what he meant. But the other boy lost his attention on Jin and Ryuu glanced on him.
"Now!" She shouted, giving the boy before her a hard knee between his legs.
Jin acted fast, within seconds he was loose from the boy's grip. When Ryuu ran up to him to grab his hand, showing him where to run she felt a sharp pain in her right upper arm. She ignored it at first and continued to run with the stranger boy at her side hearing Zephyr screaming after her.
"I'll get you for this Ryuu Sakamoto! And don't you forget it!"
When they first stopped they were at a front-yard of a house. Ryuu had trouble catching her breath. She grabbed her throat until she felt that it was easy to breathe again. Then she glanced back at her arm. What was this sharp paint that kept announcing itself in her right arm? She saw a red shaft. She raised here left hand to grab it but heard a voice command her.
"Don't touch it." He moved over to her. "I'll get it out."
She looked at him in quiet and did what he said, her breathing was a little nervous as she felt his hands getting in contact with her skin. She closed her eyes. Vague was the scream that emerged from her throat. Almost like she tried to suppress it herself. She grabbed her arm and felt the warm blood trickling out of her wound.
"You should see to it that someone took care of that." Jin said looking at her.
"I'll live… You'll see." She said and rose. Not a tear had she shed of the pain. Her eyes weren't even luster. She nodded towards the door. "I live here, you'll be safe. Come on, let's move inside."
And she walked past him. He helped her take care of her wound. She even let him stay in her room without telling her parents. Of course he questioned her why she did this. But she just shrugged and said there must be something in his eyes that made you want to help. A week passed and Jin still lived in her room without her saying a word to her parents. Then things changed. Her mother came home one day and the jokes that he always could her from the two of them together with her baby brother never started. He only heard how her mother sniffled… and after a while how the sound from Ryuu's feet hitting the stairs firmed and hard. She closed the door to her room with a large noise and she sank down the door.
"Ryuu, please come out. Ryuu… we have to get trough this together." Her mother pleaded.
But Ryuu's voice was completely motionless when she answered her back.
"Go away, leave me alone."
"Ryuu…"
Her mother was crying, that much Jin understood. After a while her mother disappeared from the door but Ryuu remained staring at the floor. At this time Jin dared to show himself. Then he saw something that scared him a little. Her eyes…
This day, was the exact day when the color in her eyes faded. The sky blue in her eyes was completely gone. Left was only the coldness of steel.
"Ryuu… what's wrong?" Jin asked after several minutes of silence.
It took some time but at last she answered. Her voice was empty, monotonous.
"They killed him." And her fists clenched.
Jin's eyes narrowed and his eyebrows knitted.
"Killed who?"
"My father… my brother.." She raised her eyes and met Jin's. "They killed my father and my brother." And there was silence again. "They are going to meet the same destiny, I promise."
~End Flashback~
And at that point Jin recoiled from the pendant. Finding himself breathing heavily. That sight she had watched him with last night was exactly the same he had seen in her eyes five years ago. He closed his hand around the pendant; he didn't want that to happen again. So that was it… Ryuu wanted to kill him now? Still Jin blamed Hwoarang for this. It must have been he who had made her into the woman she was now. Sure, she was strong, she was alive, but she was a member in a street gang. That could only mean bad news.
"Master Jin?"
A knock on the door was heard and the voice of a maid interrupted every thought Jin had on his mind. He turned his attention to the wooden door.
"Yes?" He demanded.
"Mister Mishima is awaiting you."
He glanced at he demolished alarm clock. The numbers on it said 06:38. He had been "gone" for almost forty minutes? As he walked out the door he hung the necklace on one of the hooks.
A/N: Next chapi will tell all about what happen to Sora.. so now you don't need to ask :P
