Chapter 7 part 9
Declaimer: Tekken and its characters don't belong to be, they belong to Namco!
Writers Note:
Hope you enjoy this chapter as much as you enjoyed the last ones. It's a bit happier for Jin and Xiao even though they part away! So read and review please!
When Xiao eventually woke up she winced slightly.
She was in a dark place; it smelt fresh and the wind gently rippled through her hair. She looked down and clenched her stomach, expecting a throbbing pain to go up her spine, but nothing did! She tried to get up but with every desperate effort she just couldn't.
"Please…don't let me be paralysed!" She whispered as she kept trying to get up from the ground of which she lay on.
With her rib cage half way on the mend and her backbone still in bad condition she couldn't try out any stunts if anyone tried to attack her, she was helpless in the night!
Her ears pricked up a sound of heavy shoes walking towards her. A twig snapped beneath the figure, and he/she didn't stir from it.
She trembled in fear and felt a cold chill run across her undamaged part of her backbone.
Her instinct told her to get up and face her kidnapper, but she knew that was impossible in her state.
Instead she tried to control her breathing, cause she wanted to show she wasn't afraid.
"Xiao? You ok?" asked a strangely familiar voice.
Xiao felt a strong arm pull her up and sit her on something.
"Jin? What…what this?" she asked as she curiously felt the strange cold metal like shape of a wheelchair.
"Haven't they told you?" asked Jin as he brought her and his face so that they looked into each other's eyes.
"Told me what?"
"Your…disabled Xiaoyu…you may never walk again!"
Xiao felt weak and terrified when he told her.
"But…but how…I…don't understand!" whispered Xiao as she lay her head into her hands and broke into a steady flow of crying.
Jin felt low and pathetic compared to Xiao, he had put her into her position, he made her disabled.
"I'm sorry Xiao…its all my fault!" he said as he lifted Xiao's head out of her hands.
"NO! IT WAS JUST MY STUPID SCHOOLGIRL CRUSH WASN'T IT? I MEAN…ME BEING IN THIS POSITION IS MY OWN FAULT!" Xiao was screaming so loud, her tears seemed to disappear and she felt so hysterical with shock and anger.
Jin wanted to tell her it wasn't a silly crush, and that I was real! However he felt foolish at the fact of even having the thought of him and her creeping into his head.
"Xiao…its not your fault!" he said desperately.
Xiao had finally calmed down and reached for the wheels, she pushed them forwards in a slight struggle.
"Here…let me!" offered in kindly.
Xiao just declined his offer, believing that she had to learn to use a wheelchair on her own if she was to be disabled for the rest of her life.
"Why did you bring me here Jin?" she asked curiously.
"Cause…I need to show you something…I couldn't exactly bring it to you, so I decide to bring you to it!" replied Jin nervously as he walked forward towards a little lantern, carefully he took out a box of matches and lit the candle inside the lantern. Then Jin picked up the lantern and walked towards a large slab of stone.
Xiao followed in her wheelchair.
She stared at the slab of rock, it had strange carvings on it, it showed a picture depicted of a young girl clad in pink clothes and of a young man dressed in black clothes.
"What does it mean?" she asked.
"It represents me and you…I only found it a day ago…it symbolises our fight against each other, and our hatred for each other!" Jin said quietly.
"Its wrong!" stated Xiao firmly as she stretched out her hadn't and rubbed at the markings.
"Xiao…inside we have two different forms…I have the devil form, and you have the…"
"I have the guardian form…guardian of whom possesses knowledge of this world and the next!" said Xiao as if she had read it off a piece of paper.
Jin stared at Xiao in amazement.
"How did you know?" he asked curiously.
Xiao looked down at her wheels.
"When I was little…I heard grandfather talking to this young woman…she was about twenty years old. I heard what he told her about me…he said that legend says that a guardian of the knowledge of this world and the next would come into a kind family, she would have extreme fighting abilities and would enter a tournament called Tekken 3…he told her that he was certain that the guardian was me. I never had enough courage to ask him about it…I just thought it was nothing!"
Jin took Xiao's warm and petit hands in his own cold large hands.
"We are the opposite of each other…we are like a ying-yang!" said Jin.
Xiao carefully took off her necklace and gazed at it carefully.
"You won't…you won't leave me will you?" she asked.
"I'm afraid…I have to Xiao, it…its best for both of us!"
Xiao placed the necklace in his open hand.
"Is it the best for me…or for you?" she whispered.
Jin rubbed away Xiao's tears.
"It's the best for you!" he replied simply. "You'll be safe as long as I'm not near you!
We'd better go now Xiao!" Jin said as he carefully put the necklace back onto Xiao.
When Xiao was finally back into her hospital bed, her eyes were closed and she was asleep.
Jin looked at her; she looked thin and weak, yet she still had a little glow at her cheeks.
He fondled her hair, and bent down and kissed her!
"I can never love anyone else more then I love you now…don't give up on your life Xiao!" whispered Jin as he crept away towards the window.
Xiao woke up at three in the morning.
She looked around for Jin, yet she found no trace of him.
"Jin…I love you too!" she whispered as she settled down to sleep.
Writers End Note:
Ok…hope you liked it!
It's not the last part of the story yet! In the sequel however Xiao will be able to walk again and her training for the Tekken tag tournament will begin; Panda should be appearing in the next chapter too!
I hope those of you who said that they HATED Jin for what he had done to Xiao in this story! I've tried to display his kindness and thoughtfulness in this chapter!
