Diamond Xiaoli--- Yes and sorry about my kinda late update, it's just because of evil exams! I hate them! Ok please tell me what that question is one more time! My poor little brain forgot by now! Anyway thanks for the review, and seriously update rain on me!

The Wish Of Night--- I'm sorry but I had to leave it there, I think that I'm taking a liking to cliffhangers.... lol

karisan-karisan--- Yes I know that my chapters tend to be short but I'll try to compensate for it by making later chapters considerably longer.

Lady-Eliwen---- We'll just have to see who bought the necklace... Give me a little bit of power and it rushes to my head!

Xaphania49--- Yes cliffhangers! Aren't they evil?! Yes!

lonelyngel--- Could be Jin! Maybe it is, and maybe it isn't! You'll have to see!

A/N: Yeah and I space all of my works perfectly I swear! It's just the site I think because I have the chapters and they are perfectly spaced, so I don't know why it does that but anyway on with the madness...

She could barely bring herself to utter his name, let alone move, she just stood there frozen. She was confused, she didn't know what to believe. Was it real? Or was it just another cruel trick, an illusion played on her mind to fool her body. After a while she brought her shaky hand up to touch his face. She slightly jumped at the contact.

"You're real," she said sighing, "it's just that sometimes I see you and you're so real," she said looking away, "but when I reach out to touch you, you're gone. A simple mirage." she said looking back at his face with her hand still on his cheek.

"No it's me," he said bringing his hand up to grasp hers, "you're so different." he'd expected her to come to him and crawl up on him, or be mad at him or runaway, but not cry which she rarely if ever did and this occasion was no exception.

"How so?" she asked trying to pull her hand away, but he wouldn't let her.

"You're more mature and you look older."

She pulled her hand away and began to laugh, "well you were gone for two years, I mean what did you expect?!" she yelled at him truculently.

"Xiao don't it's not necessary." he said calmly.

"Don't what?"

"You don't have to be brave for me, it's just us." she stared at him blankly for a moment and then looked away. He reached up to push the hair away from her face and what he saw greatly surprised him. Tears, not just normal tears, they were for him. He brought her closer to him in a embrace only recognized by lovers.

"It's just that I missed you so much. It's hard to be away from the one you love." she said timidly kind of wondering what his reaction would be to the last part of her statement.

"I know Xiao, I'm sorry but I had to."

"Why, Tell me I'm here," she said with a slight pause, "I'll always be here."

"Yes, but not here. Come back with me."

"OK Miharu will cover for me."

"But she can't know that I'm here."

"Who's going to tell her? I said she'll cover no info needed."

Back at Jin's hotel Jin opened the door to his small room. Xiaoyu walked in and sat in a chair. Jin sat on the bed directly across from her. "So what do you want to know?"

"Everything, but I can understand if you aren't ready to tell me. I can live with it, and I can respect that." she said touching his shoulder.

"No I want to tell you, but not everything. Small things because I don't want you to be any more danger then I have put you in already. I'm selfish, I should never have come, but I couldn't resist the temptation. I had to see your face, your smile." he said a small smile finding it's way upon his countenance.

"Well first off, why did you leave?"

"Hm...," he said deep in concentration, "well, I had just beaten Toshin, the demon that killed my mother. Then Heihachi shot me. I should've died that night, Xiao. But something saved me, the devil gene that was passed onto me from Kazuya." he expected her to be disgusted or maybe scared, but to his surprise she wasn't. The look in her eyes was that of sympathy and love.

"I understand if..." he began but was soon cut off.

"Shh..." she said putting her finger on his lips. She sat next to him and hugged him, she held him as if he were made of glass and he would break. "it's ok." she said playing with his hair.

"Well now you're back and everything will be ok."

"No, it will never be the same. I can't be around you because I put you in danger. I am doing so right now just by being in your company." he said looking at his feet.

"What is the devil gene?" she asked like a child asking a teacher.

"Many years ago when Kazuya was a small boy Heihachi threw him off of a cliff. Kazuya sold his soul to the devil in order to live again to get his revenge upon Heihachi. He won the first King of Iron Fist tournament and and won The whole Mishima Conglomerate. He held a second tournament and then Heihachi beat him, throwing him into a volcano. When Kazuya 'died' from being thrown into the volcano, half of the devil came to me while my mom was still pregnant. (A/N: wasn't sure how to put that so I made some of it up, sorry) It was dormant for nineteen years and then that day when Heihachi shot me I was so consumed with hatred, it was the worst thing that I've ever felt, that I lost consciousness and I don't remember what happened after that. I remember waking up in a forest somewhere in Yakushima. From there I fled and didn't come back. I was on the run from Heihachi and the tekkenshu, I'm sorry that I didn't contact you but it was for the best. I had to be alone for a while, away from here and you until I could figure out what happened and what I was."

"How did you survive all of that? The betrayal alone would've killed me." she said hugging him even tighter.

"The thought of you, coming back to see your face. I thought I will get through this so I can see Xiao once more."

"What do you mean once more?" she asked fear evident in her voice.

"I mean that this is goodbye." her eyes widened and became glossy with tears.

"B-but you can't, I mean if someone is after you then I will be live bait," she said trying to persuade him to change his mind. "And I need you."

"No, you deserve a normal life, with a normal man, and a normal family."

"What's so great about normal?"

"Your answer may be nothing now, but I can't promise you tomorrow. I mean the answer is nothing right now but who's to say that maybe years from now that it won't be everything? And I could never do that to you, as long as no one knows about the two of us then you will be safe. Just get away from Heihachi."

"I've tried, he insists that I'm the granddaughter that he never had."

"Well try harder, he's an evil man and I would hate to see and innocent like you caught up in his evil plans."

"You aren't going to leave again, are you?"

"Yes if I have to, you'll be safe as long as no one knows about us."

"I may be safe but I won't be happy, I'll be miserable."

"Well it's best that you just move on and forget about me because your future doesn't include me. You deserve to have someone that can make you happy and provide a good life for you, and I can't do that."

"No one else can, you are the only person that I desire and always will be. Face it Kazama you're stuck with me because I'm not going anywhere and if you go somewhere then I will be there to. Living a short life with you would be better then having immortality and living without you."

"But Xiao, even with me its not safe."

"I know, I know. The tekkenshu and whatnot."

"Well yeah, but not just them."

"Who is else is there?"

"Me Xiao, me."

"Never."

"I could hurt you, you know that you should probably fear me because I could hurt you."

"Yeah and so could Heihachi, he could sit on me." she said giggling

"Xiaoyu! I'm being serious, you never know when I may lose control and I could possibly hurt you."

"It's a chance that I'm willing to take..."

"I'm not." he said turning away from her.

She stood up and walked over to him so she could face him. "I know you, you would never do that."

"I wouldn't..." he said, his voice full of bittersweet irony. "It might..."

"No..." she whispered hugging him and straddling his lap. He didn't say anything. His exterior was calm, but secretly his thoughts were cluttered and crazy. He tried to clear his mind and just enjoy being in her embrace.

She didn't care about any risks and acted quite childishly about the situation because she was just so excited to see him. Her mind was made up, she was going to stick with him. She wasn't afraid at all. So their conversation ended with a kiss and that which would normally occur afterwards.

A/N: Sorry is the whole story line isn't exactly correct to that of the game. I wanted to change some things and add my own little twists to it. I stole a quote from the movie princess diaries. Was it long enough? I worked on it little by little for like a week. Yeah please excuse my making things up and horrible grammar!... Please review!
