Stopping quickly, his eyes widened in worry and horror. What if that was the case? Would she be okay? But… but that's silly. Why would someone be after Xiaoyu? She never does anything wrong… sure she's hot tempered and moody and scary sometimes but her faults were never really big enough to urge someone to track her down and do god-knows-what. Yeah but… incase… if ever…
'She-she can manage that… she's a tough person and she's strong, I'm sure she'll manage that.' He thought to himself.
'Xiaoyu can take care of herself baka!'
The only problem now was, how would she react to my disappearing? I'm sure she wouldn't like being left behind but… this is for the best.

Finding My Way To YouChapter 12: Feel my Wrath
By: Misao Yuy
….::xXx::..::xXx::..::xXx::..::xXx::..::xXx::..::xXx::..::xXx::..::xXx::..::xXx::..::xXx::…..
The comfortable and reassuring presence of warmth that usually shielded her from the cold was gone. Xiaoyu inwardly cursed as the cold coursed through her body jerking her awake, ruining her beauty sleep. Definitely not a good way to start the day for Xiaoyu Ling, who was known for her 'moodyness'. It took her a minute to notice the absence of her smiling companion.
"Jinny-chan?"
No reply.
She furrowed her brows trying to think of a logical answer to her friend's disappearance. She was starting to worry. She stood up and cursed again as the cold enveloped her tiny body, making her shiver uncontrollably. Grabbing a blanket, she wrapped it around her quickly and walked to the desk. There, lying on the desk was a letter.
Xiaoyu stared at it. Again, her brows furrowed trying to think of a logical answer to her question
What the hell is this?
Thinking of an answer, she grabbed it carefully, examining the envelope for anything suspicious. When she was sure that it would do her no harm, she ripped it open. Maybe, the agent sent this to tell them new information about their stalker. As she scanned the letter, the words stopped her short.
It was from Jin.
Even as she read, anger was slowly filling her.
Xiaoyu,
I am terribly sorry for leaving you without any notice. I had to leave on business. I was needed immediately and I didn't want to ruin you sleep since you would be needing strength for your journey tomorrow. Besides, it's boring business. I don't think you'd enjoy it and want to come. It would be better if you go on with your journey. I advise for you to go back to Kyoto since I think it would take quite a while. Maybe I would meet you again someday, but please don't count on it.
Your friend,
:Kazama Jin:
She stared at it for a while. Was this really Jin? Baka! How many Jin Kazama's would you know? And how many Jin Kazama's would know a Xiaoyu? He just left you for some 'boring business' whatever that means.
That triggered it.
"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" she screeched.
The inn shuddered. A few kilometers away, a baby woke crying.
Xiaoyu balled the paper into her fist and slowly started tearing it.
"Kazama Jin you are the biggest BAKA! Nobody dares leave me in the middle of the night just to go to some boring business!" If he had packed his things, it must have taken him awhile before he could leave. That would only mean that he isn't that far away.
"Just how stupid do you think I am to actually believe you?! My friend?! If you were my friend, you would have stayed instead of treating me like a little girl! I am gonna stick my blades to your butt when I get my hands on you. You'll be hoping and skipping for weeks. I will let you suffer. You will experience pain, in a hundred different ways! I AM A GROWN AND POWERFUL WOMAN DAMN IT! I'LL TRACK YOU DOWN TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH KAZAMA JIN! EVEN IF IT'S THE LAST THING I EVER DO!!!"
:sneeze:
"Oh no… Xiaoyu-chan must have woken up. Oops… I meant to say Xiao…" He cringed anticipating a blow to his head. Nothing happened. He let out a sigh.
"This is going to take some time getting used to Xiao…" he sighed.
:sneeze:
"Yeah, you better be thinking about me now Jinny-chan and you better be scared. I am coming to get you!" Xiaoyu finished packing up her remaining items and went downstairs. The innkeeper protested as she walked out the door but she leveled him an icy glare that was worthy of the ice cube called Dave. Knowing there is no way he would ever win a battle with a girl that was so… so… this, the innkeeper just shrugged and pointed the direction Jin had gone.
Xiaoyu allowed hints of a smile show on her face before she left running with the speed she was so proud of. Soon, as an instinct, she was looking habitually behind her for any followers. Naturally, as she turned her head to look back, the man hit her over her head from the front. Hard. And everything else was black.
What a wonderful day.
….::xXx::..::xXx::..::xXx::..::xXx::..::xXx::..::xXx::..::xXx::..::xXx::..::xXx::..::xXx::…..
Someone was talking to her.
"Are you awake?" A smooth voice asked as she woke up. Xiaoyu narrowed her eyes as she tried to make sense of the situation she was in. What was going on?
Searching her head, two images swam in front of her eyes. A man and a fist which, she was sure, was owned by the man. The man in front of her fit the description perfectly. Suddenly, pain coursed through her head. She the realized, as she tried to move her hands to her head, her hands were tied behind her. Xiaoyu tried her best to hide a smirk that was tugging at her lips as one of the blades hidden in her booth slipped to her hand.
"Yeah I am. It's no good asking who you are and why you wanted me I presume?" She made her face look helpless. He gave her a half grin.
"Actually, it would do you good if you ask. My name is Robert (A/N: ava's idea). I was looking for you and Kazama Jin. You seem to be important to him so the only way I could attract him is by taking you as hostage." She tried to distract him as her knife was gently cutting through her binds.
"Hostage?! Why are you looking for us? What are you going to do with us? If I'm going to be trussed up like a pig for dinner, I at least would love to know why. What the hell did we do to you?!" One of the ropes quietly frayed away. Blood slowly dripped through her wrists as she accidentally pricked herself. She refused to show nay sign of pain though.
"Hey I'm just doing orders okay. I was just ordered to do this. Nothing personal here." Xiaoyu looked surprised.
Orders? Someone was asking people to spy on them?! An image of Julia and Miharu floated on her mind. Yes, they were the only ones who would do something like this. They would get some hurt when she got back.
"Wh-who would do such an evil thing." She looked pained. Yep. It worked like a charm. At this point, the roped were completely gone. The information she got, however, was priceless.
"That I cannot tell you. But here's a hint. They're ladies. Probably jealous of you cause you've got such a catch with you." Xiaoyu stared at this man. Out of all the people that Julia and Miharu would hire… why would they hire someone… gay?! Xiaoyu stifled a laugh threatening to fly out her lips.
"Wha-what are you talking about?!" Xiaoyu pretended to look surprised. This was a tough job considering she was trying hard not to laugh.
"Are you blind? This guy you are traveling with is one hot piece of arse!" She shook her head making herself look frantic.
"No! I refuse to believe it… he can't be that wanted by women." Inside the Chinese was rolling with laughter. She never imagined anyone calling Jin a hot piece of arse. And a guy said it. A guy.
"Oh! But it's true!" He looked delighted at her 'pain'.
"I can't believe how blind you are. He's one of the most sought after bachelors in Japan. You have no idea what you've been too blind to see!" Most sought after?! Whoa… information overload here.
He mistook her 'pained' look for fear and jealousy.
"Now, now little one. Don't worry. I promise it will be a fair and square fight. I won't cheat Although you are obviously at a disadvantage here, I promise I won't have any tricks up my sleeve. But I'm sure he'll prefer someone more gentle and less violent than you are."
Xiaoyu could not believe it. Not only was this guy thiking that he could make Jin like him in that way, not only does he think that she's competition but he also think she's rough and violent. That is going over the line.
Robert, completely oblivious to the fact that Xiaoyu's arms were now bind-free, turned around and reached for something in his pack. The next thing he knew was that he had a blade pressed to his throat with a drop of blood slowly dripping down from the spot where the blade touched his skin.
"I guess being rough and violent does have its advantages huh? Like when dealing with an irritating gay kidnapper. And, no hard feelings but I am afraid I'm going to have to knock you out and drag you over to him. By the way, I am hunting him too, for other more justifiable reasons, which are completely non-violent. I suggest yo-" She stopped in mid-sentence. Looking at her kidnapper who had already fainted.
What a complete wuss.
Shaking her head at how idiotic it was for Julia and Miharu to have hired someone like this, she gathered ropes from the Robert's pack and tied him up completely. Now the only problem was how she was going to be carrying him. The whinny horse tied up next to the camp answered her question nicely.
