Writers Note:

I may have taken a long time to get this chapter up and running, but its here now! Unfortunately it is nearing back to school, so I may be a bit slower in writing the next chapters, mainly cause I'm going to a new school – for year 9, and I've heard you get tones of homework there! But I'll try my best to get the chapters done on time! Enjoy the following chapter, and keep reviewing!

Her heart ached, and was full of demise and hatred. He had engaged to Julia during the third tournament! He told Ling right after her battle with Kuma…when she was lying on the medic bed, suffering from aches and pains.

In her fury and anger she had beaten Julia up badly during her next battle, blood was pouring out of Julia's mouth and head after the battle. Yet she, Ling Xiaoyu, only walked up to Julia and sneered at her.

"You tart! You took him away from me! You knew I had feelings for him! Yet you used me to get him…didn't you? Now you and him are going to marry…and live happily ever after!" she shrieked, her face red with anger.

Julia only stared at Ling, tears rolled down her cheeks.

"I…I love him too though…" she whispered fearfully, trying to get up from the hard ground.

Ling looked straight into Julia's eyes. She knew deep inside that Julia only wanted to use him, so that she could find her mother, and save her homeland.

"You're using him! Just to get to your mother! In the process you're going to destroy my life…and soon his!" she yelled as she ran away from the arena, in tears.

The next day was quite stormy, so the next fight was taken place inside, in Jin's huge gym.

Ling found out that she was fighting against Jin, but instead of backing out of the match wisely, she furiously accepted. Foolishly thinking she could beat him.

In the gym Ling was practicing her moves. She could hear someone walking towards her, but her mind just focused on her swiftness of her moves instead.

She could smell his strong deodorant scent; it was Jin! She knew he was angry with her, but she couldn't care. After all, she was just as angry with him as he was with her.

Jin tapped her on the shoulder; she turned around and instead of greeting him with her normal sunset smile she slapped him hard, using the style Nina had shown her when they both first met.

Jin's cheek was red, his feelings were hurt, but he didn't yelp out in pain, he just grabbed her arm and held it tightly.

"Back out of the fight tomorrow…cause I won't be soft on you Ling! I'll be as hard as I ever am!"

Ling struggled against the hold; eventually she slipped out of the clutch.

"Go away," she whispered, tears dribbled down her face; they were tears of hate and fear.

Jin sensed the pain in her voice, he didn't feel guilty, and he could only feel cold.

"Julia told me to pity you!"

"I don't need your pity…or Julia's, as far as I'm concerned, me and Julia aren't friends anymore. "I will drop out of the fight…but not cause you asked me…but cause I realise now, you and I were never going to happen! Where we?" she asked, turning her back on Jin.

"I…I guess we could have…but I love Julia now, not you…I'm sorry!" he said gently, as he placed his hand on her shoulder, and turned her around. Giving her a quick peck on the cheek.

Ling was shocked by his action. Guilt washed around her like blood.

"I'm sorry too!" she said, shrugging her hand of his shoulder and quickly giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Goodbye!"

The next day, was the day of the final battle. Jin versus Ogre.

Jin stood in front of True Ogre's remaining body; he had finally taken revenge, and defeated his mother's murderer once and for all! He smiled slightly for the first time during the tournament, but only for a brief moment.

Flashback

"Come here Jin…I have to tell you something!" spoke Jin's mother, Jun Kazama.

Jin willingly ran towards Jun, and sat himself by her feet, listening eagerly to what she had to say.

"Jin…I wanted to give you this locket…" Jun said, as she placed the shimmering golden locket into his palm.

Jin stared at it wondrously; carefully he opened it, seeing a picture of his mother and father together. They looked happy and content. "Why are you giving me this mother?" he asked curiously.

Jun looked at Jin, her only child, her precious son. She knew the fate that was befallen upon her, but she felt that Jin shouldn't see her sad, even upon the day her life would be taken by the great being. "I felt that I ought to pass this on to you Jin!" she said. On this side," she pointed out the other side, which was blank. "When your older, and you meet someone who you care for, you can put her picture there!"

End Of Flashback

For he turned around suddenly to see four of Heihachi's men with guns, aiming at him.

"Jin Kazama…time to die!" one of them yelled out.

Nearby behind the scripture covered wall Ling Xiaoyu was watching in utter horror. She cared for Jin allot. In the way a girlfriend and even a wife would care for him, but Jin didn't care for her the same way, he cared for her as a friend and only as a friend! She could never stop loving him…and she knew it, she remembered the day when she asked Jin about his parents.

Flashback

"Where is your mum and dad anyway Jin? I mean, every time I ask Heihachi about his son he just says that he had no son and walks away!" said Ling as she sat down on Jin's bed.

"Ling…I'd prefer not to talk about it!" he had replied briefly. His eyes showed clear sadness and pain.

"Jin…please!" she begged.

Jin just looked at her, "Alright…I guess I might as well tell someone!"

Ling smiled at him and handed him his locket back.

Gratefully he took it. "Well…my mother was Jun Kazama…she was…well she was in the last two tournaments! That was where she met him…my father, Kazuya Mishima…well after the last tournament, he died…and my mother…she was pregnant with so she fled to this forest…then she was killed by Ogre…and I vowed to kill Ogre myself! To take revenge!"

End Of Flashback

She squeezed the tears from her eyes and got ready for the bullets she was going to take for him.

"Jin…I care for you badly…but you don't! I guess if I can't live with you…then that means I can't live without you!" she whispered, knowingly that he would probably not understand her actions. "You and Julia will be happy now…cause I won't be there in the way!"

The bullets from the machine gun were forced out of their barrel like containers and into the air, directly at Jin. Jin closed his eyes tightly for a second, not wishing to see the bullets hit him.

When his eyes opened he didn't feel anything hurting, or blood trickling out of him, but he could hear someone familiar screaming out in sheer pain. He noticed that he was lying on the floor, and right beside him was his friend, Ling Xiaoyu. She didn't seem to be moving. He saw blood gushing out of her chest; it dripped into a large pool of dark redness.

"Ling! Ling…wake up!" he yelled as he shook her, trying desperately to wake her.

Flashback:

She lay on the whitish ground, with a large gash on her forehead, and a bullet hole in her leg and side; the pain was immense, and it felt like there was a wolf tearing away at her. Blood seemed to leap out of the wound.

"Jin…where are you?" she asked.

"Shhhh…I'm her…looks like someone kicked your ass bad style!" he replied as he carefully ripped off his sleeve, which reviled a large burnt on scar, and a load of muscle!

"I guess I can't come to the school dance with you?" she presumed weakly.

Jin sadly nodded his head, and picked up Lings hand. He rubbed it, making an effort to keep her warm. Quickly (without hesitation) he took of his shirt, and wrapped it around Ling.

She shuddered with cold. The snow cooled down her sores, but it made her freezing cold. Her teeth chattered, and her face grew pale.

"Jiiinnnn…tha…thank…thankyoouu!"

"Hey…what are friends for? He whispered, as he bent forward and kissed her pale forehead. "Who did this to you?" he asked afterwards.

Ling wasn't to sure herself, when the shot was fired, she could only see a dark shadow in the direction of the shot. Then when she fell, she hit something hard, which knocked her unconscious.

Then she woke up, seeing Jin beside her and tending to her injuries.

"I…I don't…know," the last word escaped her lips just barely.
