Disclaimer/Author's Note: I do not own Tekken for if I did, very content would I be. However, I do own one character in this story. I have forgotten of her yet I was reminded by a friend of mine, Thunderxtw, I am sure that you know of him. Well anyway, she is back yet you will not hear of her in this chapter but you will and quite soon, I deem. On with the story then!
Chapter One
Hard upon the earth, she ran, soft fields of the sight of spring passed her by. She did not stop to look at the flowers that lay sleeping in the meadow; to them she paid no heed. A man ran behind her, bellowing out her name. Still, faster she ran, as if running from a dark plague. He, as well, quickened his pace. After many blocks she stopped and turned back round to face him.
"I've told you," she said, her words harsh upon her lips. "I've told you I work alone and do not wish your help!"
"We are both after the same," he reasoned, his voice softer and less harsh to hers.
"Do not take pity on me, for pity is not needed. Pity should only be given where pity is needed and here it is needed not. But you do not understand my pleas. Leave me to my work in peace and alone. Do not look to warn him nor to kill him yourself, for you will not succeed; you are not the assassin here." The Irish woman shook the blonde hair from her face.
"I understand," said the young man, his dark hair raised above his eyes. "It is only my concern that you are older than I and just that he would go down easier fighting the both of us together."
"Do you not remember that I have been frozen in water for fifteen years and have not aged since then? I am older than you think yet I feel that I am stronger now than ever have I been." She glared at him with cold eyes. "Now, if you will excuse me, I have work to be doing." She turned and passed from him.
He walked in front of her path. "I want him dead as well as you. He has hurt me greatly over the years, even after I have learned to move and stay out of the way."
"Let go of your pride, have you, Jin?" she moved and passed him yet again.
Only this time he did not stand in front of her. Instead he said, "Yet I see you still have yours. I am wiser than I was once, Nina. And I know I can't go at this alone."
To this she only snorted and gave a chuckle, still walking, before saying, "Your offer has already been declined. And, Jin," with this she turned to him. "I do not take back my answer. Now, do not speak a word of this, or put to death you shall be," she paused and stared him in the eye. "By my hand." Then she turned once more and walked on into the darkness, leaving Jin Kazama standing alone to ponder on what just happened.
After a few minutes passed, he turned swiftly and walked away.
