Chapter 3 - Workin' together...at a steal!...
"Whew…finally ……we're home…" Xiao gasped heavily as she opened her house door. Jin breathed heavily, still leaning on her petite frame for support.
"Hey, hang on buddy, I'll help ya…" she said, trying to lighten up the tension they were both feeling.
Jin moaned… "Shit……" he cursed in Japanese… Boy did his leg hurt…a LOT…
She led him through the hall way and into her cozy living room and carefully laid him on the couch, "I'll be right back……just let me get some antiseptic…and a knife to get that bullet out…" she said.
Jin gritted his teeth but managed to mumble a word of "Thanks" to her.
Half an hour later…
Jin was still on the couch moaning in agony, as Xiao carefully extracted the bullet from his leg…" Wait…it's almost done……" she said softly.
"That's what you said…ages……ago……" he replied, gritting his teeth in agony.
"Almost……got…it……" she said her palms sweaty.
Jin just rolled his eyes and grabbed onto the side of the soft couch.
"Got IT!" Xiao yelled in exhilaration.
She quickly placed the bullet in the silvery bowl that was full of water, and watched in disgust as the water turned a bloody red.
"Eww…was never that fond of blood…how I removed that bullet for him…I don't know…" she mumbled to herself.
She quickly ran to the toilet, removed the gloves she had been wearing throughout the delicate procedure and washed her hands thoroughly.
"Ok… next step… bandage that wound…and find out who he is…and where I can get one of those mysterious brown eyes of his……" she said and giggled, as a crimson blush made it's way across her face.
Jin
"Ugh……" Jin moaned once more in agony as a sharp pain coursed through his bloody leg.
He opened his eyes and breathed heavily and tried to compose himself, "Where am I again? Oh yeah…that…that girl's house……hmmmm…she ain't that bad at all…not bad…" he said softly, referring to her body.
General
"Ok! I'm back and now…time to fix up that wound of yours!" she said jovially.
"Yeah…just……try to be a little more gentle this time?" he asked pleadingly, with those puppy dog eyes of his.
Xiao giggled as her cheeks deepened for their former crimson color to a deeper magenta…
Jin smiled…Oh he loved it when he had this type of effect on woman… He watched her skillfully bandaged up his leg, and pulled it tightly…
"OWWWW! NOT SO TIGHT! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?" he yelled.
"Ooops……s-sorry …it's just…errm…uh…" she stuttered.
Jin realized he'd hurt her feelings… --- Oh man…why do I always have to go ruin things? --- he thought.
"Never mind…sorry…I didn't mean to yell……" he said quietly.
"Oh…um…no prob…I'll uh…go wash up! Don't go away now!" she said jovially, as she left the room.
"Hmmm……I wonder…could she have anything interesting here…?" wondered Jin inquisitively, as he got up from the couch and explored the house…limping hopelessly along.
…And made his way to her grand cabinet…where she kept her most prized treasures…
…Her diamond collection…
"Ah……my kinda girl…" he said mockingly, "Got a whole storage of goodies…"
What he didn't notice was the thin thread between his foot and the cabinet…it was a TRAP…
…Unfortunately for Jin…he didn't know that…
"WHOAAA!" he yelled, as a net closed up on him… "Shit…" he cursed…, "That noise would be enough to wake the dead…"
"AH HA! I knew you'd try to break into my precious jewel collection…" came a voice from the doorway.
"Heh heh…I was just admiring your coll-…" he was cutoff, by an angry Xiao grabbing him by the collar, after she had released him from the net.
"LISTEN YOU…IF THERE'S ONE THING I HATE…IT'S A BACK STABBER!" she yelled straight in his face, and if there's one thing that's dangerous besides the world of thievery… it's getting Xiaoyu mad…
For a minute, they gazed into each other eyes, "You…you were the one that night…" she said softly, "It was really you…! Wow…"
"Yeah…wow…" exclaimed Jin breathing heavily "But… could you do me one favor?" he said moving his lips ever so closer to her…
"Y-yes…?" she stuttered.
Their lips were just centimeters away when…
"Could you get OFF MY LEG? IT HURTS!" Jin yelled.
"OH! Heh ……that…" she said sheepishly.
"Yes…THAT, what did you think I was going to do?" he asked.
"Oh nothing…" she replied simply, a bit disappointed.
Jin rolled his eyes, and then stared at her again, "You have the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen…" he said dreamily.
"I do?" she asked stupidly.
Just then, the phone rang…
"Oh crap…just when things were getting interesting…" Xiao said under her breath, "Umm…you can get by your self to that couch, can't you? And don't try a stunt like that again…wouldn't want your pretty face to get zinged by that new laser system I installed…" she said without a breathe in between.
"Uhhh…" was all Jin could say.
"Just kidding…" she said and headed to answer the phone.
"Phoenix? You there?" came a cold voice.
"Yeah…hi……look…I found out something at the party…" replied Xiao and craned her neck to see where Jin had reached to…good he was watching some TV…
"Look…is the man…Devil968 with you?" asked Nina.
"Dev- what?" exclaimed Xiao.
"In short…the young man you took home with you…his name is Jin Kazama…Heihachi's grandson…and …on the most wanted-list…" said Nina.
"WHOA…ok…humph!...He's stealing MY spotlight!" replied Xiao.
"He happens to be very skilled, grass hopper…" said Nina, "He may be very useful to us…try and get him on our side, will you? You may even get on my good side…for once…"
"O……………k……well…I'll try…" said Xiao, disappointed at what she had just heard.
"No try here, Phoenix…you either shape up…or ship OUT!" Nina yelled over the phone, and meet me tomorrow at the mall…I expect you to have him with you…"
"Geez…ok…but…wa-…" too late…Nina had cut the line… "SHEESH! Where'd she learn any manners from? She must've worked in some military somewhere……aw crap…I thought I could get on her good side…!"
"Xiao? C'mere…I want to show you something…" yelled Jin from the living room.
"Coming…!" yelled Xiao, and rolled her eyes.
"Look at that…" he said pointing to the television screen.
They were announcing the arrival of the new jewel…capable of…"Wow……anything…I could have whatever I wanted…" muttered Xiao.
"We need to get that jewel, Xiao…" said Jin, still looking at the screen.
"Who's WE?" quizzed Xiao.
"You and me of course…" replied Jin.
"Says who?"
"Says me…"
"You an' whose army?"
"Xiao…will you……just…"
"Hey wait…how do you know my name?" asked Xiao.
"Wild guess I suppose…"he said, staring at her driving license lying idly on the side table, "So….do you accept?"
She paused for a moment…remembering what Nina had said…
"Ok fine…we'll work on it together…" she rolled her eyes.
"Great……" he said.
"But I have to go to the mall to pick up something…and…maybe you could meet my boss…who's in charge of this…" replied Xiao.
She yawned and stretched…
"What about your boy friend? That red headed guy……" asked Jin.
"Oh…he'll be waiting outside in the dark…he's used to it I suppose…" she said recollecting times of how she had locked Hwoarang outside a dozen times.
"Well…I'm going to bed…been a long DAY…good night, Jin…" she giggled as she gave him a peck on the cheek.
"Yeah…night…" he replied.
