Chapter 20 – A gloomy day...
The next day…
The sun shone through the blinders and onto the face of a beautiful Chinese girl, her eyes twitched a little and then slightly opened…she gave a yawn and stretched…and shifted her attention to the empty spot near her…
"Where's Ethan?" asked Xiao.
Wait…she could hear voices…coming from downstairs…they were yelling…wait… "THEY"?
Xiao quickly ran downstairs…
"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" some one yelled.
"Not before I see her…" another voice said…the voice calmer and richer…
"You don't need to see her, because she doesn't want to see you either!" Ethan yelled.
The other man brushed pat him; bumping into his shoulder and he growled in anger…making his way to the stairs… he was half way up the stairs to see the person he had come here for…when…he saw her…
He came across the same girl; he remembered catching a glimpse of her terrified face yesterday when she had caught them together…
"What are you doing here?" she asked coldly.
"I came to see you Xiao…to see how you were keeping…" he replied.
"I'm was fine before you came, is all I can say…" she said.
"Kazama! Leave NOW, before I call the police!" yelled Ethan threateningly.
Jin smirked at his comment and looked at Xiao, intently, he saw something in her eyes…sadness…disappointment…utter chaos must've been going on in her mind yesterday…
"Just go Jin, you made your point after what you did yesterday…" she replied and turned her face away to hide her tears from him…
"And I suppose you're going to go with Ethan, aren't you?" asked Jin coldly.
She remained silent.
Looking at Ethan's face she knew her answer…
"Yes, yes I will, he cares more about me than anyone else!" she yelled.
It was now Jin's turn to remain silent; he'd really blown it this time…really…
Xiao tried to get past him but he grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him, "I know you still love me Xiaoyu…don't li-…" he was cutoff…
SMACK!
His face had just come into contact with Xiao's hard right hand… (a/n Remember that same slap from somewhere? LOL)
Instead of letting go, he held onto her even tighter…and embraced her in his arms… not long before Ethan pulled him away from her…
"Get away from her!" Ethan yelled, pulling Xiao to his side protectively.
Xiao hid behind him in fear; she didn't feel like going back to Jin…but there was always…that … eerie aura around him…that made her crawl back to him…she did need him…
Jin smirked at him…and turned his attention to Xiao…
"Xiao…it was a misunderstanding…I'm telling you the truth…I swear…I am…" he replied hopelessly, trying to appeal to the girl's emotions.
"I guess I was nothing more than a friend was I?" she asked.
"No Xiao it's not that…you were always more than that…" he was cutoff.
"Then why'd you do it, Jin? WHY?" she asked gritting her teeth angrily.
"I…I don't know Xiao…I don't know…" was all he could say.
"Then you may leave…" she said, yet a voice at the back of her head told her to leave with him instead…
"No" he said.
"I said…leave…" she said more angrily.
"And I said … no…" he replied.
She remained silent…
"You heard the lady Kazama…BEAT IT…" said Ethan.
"Do you have any idea how much this man was cheating on you, himself, Xiao?" asked Jin.
This time Xiao turned to look at Ethan, a worried look crossed her face and she stared deeply into his eyes…Christie? No ……no……it couldn't be…
This angered Ethan and he rushed forward in an attempt to punch Jin…unfortunately for him, Jin blocked his punch and gripped onto his hand tightly, making him scream in agony…
"B-bastard…let go…" Ethan stammered.
"JIN! STOP IT!" Xiao screamed, and rushed over to Ethan's side.
"What are you talking about, Jin? Ethan would never betray m-…" she was cutoff.
"Oh no... Did you know about his and Christie's history together? I suppose not…" replied Jin calmly, yet coldly…
Xiao remained silent…she felt jealousy burn inside of her…how she hated that word……jealousy……
"What……are you…" she was cutoff once again by Jin.
"He almost got her pregnant as well……Xiao…" Jin went on, "They met each other in Brazil, child hood friends…now do you get it?"
Xiao clasped her hands over her mouth and gasped aloud…
"I-is t-this true Ethan…?" she asked.
"Xiao……whatever happened………happened in the pa-…" he didn't get a chance to finish what he was saying…
"You did……didn't you…?" she asked putting two and two together.
Jin couldn't help but smile, though he knew it was wrong…perhaps he shouldn't have told her… no he should have…he did the right thing by doing so…
Xiao took one look at the two men she loved, and ran out of the house, with the flick of her hand opening the door……her hair whooshing past her…as she ran and ran…still in her nightie…
She didn't pay attention to the two men's cries for her to stop…she needed time to be on her own…
An hour later…
She arrived at a serene beach…it wasn't crowded, just a few young couples here and there…happy… in the arms of their lovers…content…content…something she didn't have…contentment …
She made her way over to one of the rock pools and soaked her feet in them…this was that nearby beach Ethan had taken her to before…when they had first met…
"No, Xiao…pull yourself together……I won't break……I'm not fine china ware…I won't b-break…" Too late…she had already cried…
"She stared at the sunset as beautiful warm colors were strewn across the evening sky…Red, pink orange…and a lightish blue color……right in the centre she saw two young people holding hands and walking alongside each other…along the coast…they stopped…
She took a deep breath…and wished it were her and Jin……or Ethan…she stared dreamily at them…as they kissed…
She shivered as the cold sea breeze ran in and out of her thin night dress…
She looked into the sunset again…
…A blinding red light flooded her vision…she saw Jin in his devil form once again…and Jun ……standing sadly besides her…
On the other side of the beach a young girl stood observing Xiaoyu…
"Oh Xiao…I hope you can forgive my brother for what he has done…" said Asuka sadly, "You don't understand how much he needs you…"
