Chapter 11 – The pink rose…
Outside Operation theatre, 02:30am……
A young man paced up and down in the vast hallway, his coat discarded, his tie loose, and his head down, "Why did I let that Mishima convince me? I never should have let Ling go there…… Why? WHY?" rambled Ethan loudly.
His attention was then diverted to the young Japanese who was making his way over to where Ethan was standing, his raven hair, brown eyes and tan skin color…
"What are you doing here?" Ethan growled in fury.
"I came to see Xi-……" but before Jin could finish the sentence, Ethan had grabbed his collar and pushed him against the wall.
"Don't you dare say her name as well! You don't deserve some one like her! You put her there in that hospital bed! YOU DID IT!" Ethan yelled.
"ETHAN!" came a voice. It was Clara, tiredness evident in her eyes, "Please put him down…"
Jin could've easily have pushed him off him, but decided not to; out of respect for Ling who was now in that hospital bed, and it was because of him.
"W-what h-happened?" asked a trembling Josie, her eyes swollen from crying over Xiao.
"Ask him!" yelled Ethan furiously, pointing his finger at Jin, whose head had been down the whole time.
Clara turned her face to look at him; to look at his face, a look of hatred and disgust crossed her face……
"Mister Kazama, I have been in your household for 5 years, I know you too well to do something like this……this is a side I've never seen of you… You are now becoming just like your father…" she gave a soft sigh, shook her head and walked over to one of the sofas, and sat down.
"How could I have let her down? This is entirely my fault…" Jin muttered under his breath.
He'd let Clara down; he'd let Ling down…… Clara was different from the other maids, who would constantly try to flirt with Jin… no she had helped him… she was more like a second mother…
"Clara I- "but before he could finish anything, a man stepped out of the operation theatre; medium height, with spectacles on, the tired eyes and wrinkles, a symbol of his hard work, and a face full of wisdom… and wearing the same green outfit that all surgeons would wear, a few specs of blood on it…
"Xiao's blood……" Jin muttered under his breath.
"How is she doctor?" asked Ethan worriedly.
"The funny thing is, is that she has just a few broken bones, a fracture or two, it's a good thing you brought her in fast, she lost a lot of blood… poor girl… but I don't understand one thing… a normal person would have died… how did she survive? That question baffles me……" said the doctor, a confused expression on his face. (a/n Angel helped Xiao to survive)
"D-did you s-say she's gonna be fine?" asked Josie, her eyes red.
"Yes, and you may see her later……right now, she needs her rest…" said the doctor, as a smile crossed his crinkly face.
"Thank you doctor" Ethan said.
Clara gave a sigh of relief; to lose Xiao was like losing a daughter…
Jin looked on as all three of them hugged; he was the only odd one in this happy picture, Xiao would never love him now, after all, he'd tried to kill her……
He picked up a pink rose that was on a nearby table, "Pink…… Xiao's favorite color…" Two small tear drops fell onto the rose…… he turned his back on the happy people behind him and began walking…… walking towards the hospital exit… the rose no longer in his hand…
"Mr. Mishima? Did you hear that? Xiao's gonna be fi-…" said Josie, but then stopped, for Jin was no longer in sight…
…… The only thing that remained was a small pink rose on the floor……
Well, will they ever be together?
(a/n) Well, was it sad enough? Oh I forgot one more thing, Asuka will be in this fiction, as Jin's sister...and don't worry I'm bringing the whole gang to San Francisco as well! Hwoarang, Miharu,Christie,Steve and...Julia... too! Oh yeah! Thank you gyste4 for pointing out my mistakes, but i didn't want to focus more on Xiao's fighting techniques, ok?
