Chapter 9 – The real you…
Xiao was at her desk now; she had just come out of the wash room before the same thoughts began flooding her mind of the mutated Jin and several other hideous beings.
"I… I can't take this anymore! I have to find out why these visions are always tied to Jin! Ugh!" saying this, she began massaging her temples.
"What's with you?" asked Josie.
"Ugh…… I have such a bad headache…" Xiao replied uneasily.
"Yeah, and you have every reason to be, what with acting stupid in front of your boss, and that cute Mishima guy!" said Josie blushing at what she had just said.
"Yeah, yeah girls swoon over him as well, nothing new…"said Xiao irritated. She had just remembered how those girls back at Mishima High used to give her dirty looks, just because she got to talk to 'Jin', every girl's dream boy.
MacMillan industries… 10:00pm
Xiao had still been thinking about all those constant dreams and visions she had been getting… about they're meaning… It had been a long exhausting day, what with having to walk up and down the whole office room, a million times, answering calls……
Just then the phone rang, "Get that Josie, please, I've got such a bad headache……"said Xiao wearily.
"That's your job…uh…never mind okay I'll answer it…" after seeing the death glare she got from Ling.
"MacMillan industries, how may I help you?" asked Josie politely, how Xiao wished Josie could be more like that at home……
"Yes, I'll page you through……" said Josie frantically.
"What happened?" asked Xiao, now interested in what she had to say.
"Oh, problem with shipping our goods to……" she was cutoff by Ethan bursting through the door.
"Xiao! I need you to escort Mr. Mish- I mean Mr. Kazama back home, please?" he begged… now who on earth heard of the boss begging the employee? It should have been the other way around…
"Uh……uh…" Xiao couldn't say anything…
"Thanks!" Ethan yelled before making his way to the elevator, while hastily putting on his coat.
"You're on your own now, kid" said Josie, though she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
"What's that supposed to mean? I am not a kid!" Xiao said childishly.
She made her way to Ethan's lavish office, where Jin was collecting some papers that had got loose from his brief case and stacking them neatly in small piles and placing them back in his brief case. "Humph! He always was a perfectionist at everything he did……even in Mishima High " However, she decided to help him after seeing him struggle with the papers, "Here…… let me help…"
"Uh… thanks…that was quite a show you put on before…" he said, and couldn't help but smile.
"Please don't remind me……" she pleaded, while stooping down to collect the last of the papers, and once again, Jin couldn't help but experience a familiar sensation surge through the lower half of his body.
"So, you know Ethan, huh?" he asked, his face still in the papers.
Xiao looked up to face him and said, "Yeah, we're really good friends… why?"
"Oh… no reason" he said casually.
"Look…… one more thing……… I really… really wanted to say sorry… for that slap…" she said, a tinge of guilt in her voice.
"There's no need to apologize…… I already forgave you……" he said.
"Just let me have a look, please……" she said worriedly.
"No really… you don't have to……" he said looking up to see herworried face.
"Oops!" she yelled, while trying to get up she slipped on one of Jin's papers, luckily for her strong hands caught her…… she looked up to see Jin, who was holding her steady.
"I……I…" she stuttered.
"You're welcome" saying this; he displayed one of his famous Kazama smirks, on his handsome face.
"W-well, we better get going…I can drive……" she was cutoff.
"The only reason Ethan chose you to escort me was because I asked him to…" said Jin smirking again.
"But……" she was cutoff once again.
"Not to worry, I've already arranged for transport, my personal chauffeur is awaiting our arrival" he said.
"Our?" she asked.
"Actually, I was wondering if you could join me for dinner……" he asked eyeing her intently; he had to win over her heart…
"Dinner? Tonight? I don't think so……" she said, then remembered those visions she kept having… this could be her only chance… --- I've got to tell him about these visions, maybe he might know what they mean--- she thought.
"On second thought, I would love to join you for dinner" she said happily, after looking at Jin's distraught face.
"Great! Let's go!" he said more enthusiastically, happiness in his voice once more.
"By the way, where are we going?" she asked.
"To my place……" he said, once again eyeing her intently.
"La centre" hotel, Jin's suite 10:30pm……
"Wow! This place is huge!" she said childishly, her eyes taking her surroundings.
Jin couldn't help but smirk at her childishness… she was still the same, girl he knew back in Mishima High……
"Have a seat, I'll call room service……" he said.
"Thanks" she said.
She made her way to the plush sofas, and sat down… while running her petite hands along the soft sofa… but what attracted her the most was the balcony……
"What a view!" she squealed, while looking down to view the miniaturized surroundings…… the people, the cars… the lights… a cool breeze was blowing, so Xiao released her silky raven hair from the clip and let the wind play with it freely… while taking in big gulps of air…… every thing was perfect……
Right next to her was a delicately arranged dinner table; two candles lit, the cutlery and plates carefully laid…… and wait there was something else there…
"The locket!" she exclaimed.
She opened it to examine its contents, yes, there was the picture of Jin, his mother and Kazuya, the one she had managed to salvage…… the other one used to hold Julia's picture… but it was empty now… "I could've guessed that…" she muttered under her breath.
She examined it more closely, memories once again flooded her mind of when she had wrapped up the locket… and written the letter…… her brown eyes now glassy…
She closed the locket, and placed it carefully on the table and once again retreated to what she had been previously doing… her elbows on the railings; she closed her eyes to enjoy the cool breeze…
Then she felt strong hands creep around her waist, "Jin……" she said softly.
"I'm here……" he said.
"What are you doing……" she said softly.
"Oh… nothing…… just enjoying the view…" he said. A smile crept across his handsome face…
His bangs tickled her face and she giggled at that, and then cleared her throat, "What about dinner?" she asked.
"They'll be here with our dinner… I ordered your favorite…steamed buns and shrimp dumplings…" he replied.
"You still remember, huh?" she asked, but couldn't help but clutch her tummy which had been growling, instead she met Jin's hands, she quickly pushed his hands away from her waist……
"You didn't expect me to forget did you?" he asked.
"Well……you were so caught up with Julia, I thought you wouldn't remember a single thing about me…" she said, a tinge of sadness in her voice.
He then walked over to her side, and proceeded to watching the miniaturized surroundings. "Julia definitely was something……" he said.
"Oh come on Jin! I still know you have feelings for her!" Xiao yelled angrily. It was that feeling of jealousy, once again attacking her very mind and soul…
"For all I know, you must just be using me, to get back at her!" she yelled. At this remark, Jin snapped back to reality… --- How could she think such a thing? --- he thought.
"If you don't trust me… then you are free to go…" he said, still not facing her.
Xiao was quiet. So now he wanted her to leave… but she couldn't… she needed to get some answers from him, about these constant visions she was having…
FLASH! A white blinding light, and then she saw the mutated form of Jin once again, and this time he was chained to the wall, being whipped by the same ruthless demon…
She clutched her head and cried out in pain, and sank down on her knees; surprising both herself and Jin, "Xiao! Is everything alright? Do you want me to call a doctor?" Jin asked worriedly, stooping down to examine Xiao.
"N-no…look……what are you? Why won't you leave me alone?" she yelled like a mad woman.
"Xiao, what do you mean? I don't understand……" he was cutoff.
"Don't play dumb! Y-you are some kind o-o-of demon! Leave me alone!" she screamed.
Jin held the trembling Chinese girl in his arms, "Shhhh… don't be scared, I'm here for you" he said soothingly.
"N-no…" she said, and slowly calmed down, in Jin's comforting arms……
"Sit down here… you'll be fine…" he said comfortingly.
Xiao couldn't help but comply with his requests; she shivered… and almost screamed when the door bell rang……
Jin ran to get the door, it was only the room service with the food…… "Whew…" she said. She took in some more gulps of air, "Okay Xiao, you're going to be fine… just calm down…" she said to herself.
She was trance;but itwas broken by Jin's voice, "Dinner's here, dig in……" Although Xiao could sense a sort of sadness in his voice, she put it there… ---Why do I always do this? --- she thought.
"Jin, you're hiding something from me…… please tell me…" she pleaded, memories of his mutated form running back and forth in her mind.
Jin remained quiet for a long time, and then he proceeded to taking his seat opposite her, "You wouldn't understand……" he said sadly.
"Please, you may be the only one who can help me……" she said frantically.
"With what? And what does this have to do with me?" he asked.
"Lately, I've been having these …… weird dreams and all these visions… I don't know what they mean… but you're in all of them… I don't know why, though……" she said.
She proceeded to telling him all about those dreams she had been having, but when she came to the part where she had met his mother he got and rested his arms on the railings of the balcony. Xiao got up and joined him; placed her hand on his arm, and gazed up into the sky……
"All I remember is waking up in the middle of a forest that had been wrecked by some force… I had done that……" he said bluntly.
Xiao then began recollecting memories of the forest, the headlines…… the five straight claw marks on one of the trees……
"But… how?" she asked.
Jin gave a soft sigh, and shook his head sadly, how would she understand? She'd probably run away… but she had to know…
"What I refrained from telling you when we met over the net was that……" he stopped.
"Was what? Please tell me Jin… I may be able to help…" Xiao asked pleadingly.
"Was that… I'm not human…… I'm half angel…half devil…… my father…" he gritted his teeth at what he'd called him… "Father"… "My father sold his soul to the devil when Heihachi threw him off a cliff…… to exact his revenge against Heihachi… then he met my mother after a few years… and… and… you know the rest……" Jin said sadly, his eyes now glassy……
I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
It lasted forever
And ended so soon (yeah)
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark grey sky
I was changed...
Xiao was shocked…… and she thought she had problems… she was the selfish one…she was the one who had been inconsiderate… who had caused him most of the heart ache… "I'm so sorry Jin, I didn't know……" she said softly.
In places no one will find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
Was there that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry(cry)
The moment I saw you cry
"It's not your fault……I should've told you……" he said. "I thought Julia was the one for me… little did I know… you were the only one who truly loved me…… you gave me that locket didn't you?" he asked.
It was late in September
And I've seen you before(and you were)
You were always the cold one
But I was never that sure
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark grey sky
I was changed
They were both silent; only the sound of the wind whistling, the way it whipped Xiao's hair in frenzy…… a smile made it's way across her face, "Yeah… I did" she replied.
In places no one will find
All your feelings so deep inside(deep inside)
It was there that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry
I wanted to hold you
I wanted to make it go away
I wanted to know you
I wanted to make your everything...all right
Xiaoyu's eyes retreated back to viewing the star studded sky, "I'm the one who should be sorry Jin… I'm sorry for misunderstanding…… for making you look for me… for saying that you were using me… and all this time… I was the one major pain in the neck…" she said sadly.
I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
In places no one will find
In places no one will find
All your feelings so deep inside(deep inside)
(forever was in your eyes)
It was there that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry
"Don't blame your self…" he said, holding up her chin with his hand. She blushed when he did that… and then it came out of no where…… she kissed him… hoping to relieve him of his pain… she realized he wasn't responding, and so tried to pull away………
Baby… cry
The moment that I saw you cry
Oh no no
I think I saw you cry
The moment I saw you cry
(fade out)
I wanted to know you
I wanted to know you
I wanted to know you
…… He finally responded, with a fiery kiss, one with urgency…… he wanted her…… he hugged her tightly, his lips still connected with hers, never leaving hers… his one hand caressing her smooth leg, slowly creeping upwards…… what she didn't notice was his brown eyes slowly turning into a milky white; the jewel in the center of his forehead, ancient markings appearing on his forehead and torso…… his normal human teeth now longer and sharp…
He pressed his lips even harder, grinding Xiaoyu's already swollen ones…… then his buffalo-like horns protruded from either sides of his head…… it didn't matter now… he had everything he could ever want…… he had Xiaoyu…
Xiaoyu couldn't breathe… she had to stop……but his grip on her was like steel, she couldn't break away…
"Jin… you're hurting me………" she whimpered.
He pulled her lips back for one more fiery kiss……Xiao summoned all her strength and finally managed to push him away…… what she saw made her turn pale as a ghost………
This wasn't the Jin she knew…… this was a monster… grinning back at her… all her nightmares and visions had finally come true…………
"Hello…… Xiao……I owe you a lot for helping me finally emerge from Jin……" This wasn't Jin speaking……… It was the Devil… "So let me start by thanking you, my love………" Devil Jin said.
