D/C: I don't own Tekken…although owning Jin would've satisfied me…

Hi! I'm finally back! I'm sorry for theLONG wait, but was really busy! Sorry! Anyway, I'll just shut up now and let you get on with the story…

Enjoy!

Chapter 4:

Jin's heart thudded painfully against his chest, and he stared at the back of Anna's head.

'Who the hell are you?' he demanded.

'Tsk tsk,' she said. 'Not too bright, are you, Jin? Well, ok, I'll tell you…your sweet father sent me…I'm Anna Williams, nice to meet you.'

Jin was having trouble breathing. This was just great! Here he was, trying to escape all the assassins, and now he had climbed willingly into the jaws of one. This was simply spiffing!

'What? You surprised?' Anna said, chuckling. 'You thought you could escape that easily, didn't you? Well, think again, boy…because I'm finishing you off right now and going back to claim my bucks.'

She spun around, a gun held in her hand while another gripped the stirring wheel. Jin ducked as she fired. The bullet hit the glass pane behind him and a shower of glass fell upon him.

Anna started to pull the trigger again; he had to act…fast. From his position behind her seat, Jin gave the back of the seat a violent push, and Anna was lurched forward with a cry of protest, but not before firing a misaimed bullet at on of the side windows, sending another shower of glass falling upon him. Jin shielded his face to avoid the flying shards of glass.

'You bastard!' Anna shrieked, swirling around to take another aim at him.

Jin wasn't prepared to give her another shot at him. His pushed the seat again, more violently and more further this time, until he heard a satisfying crack indicating the contact of Anna's head with the dash board. But again, Anna had taken another wild shot; only this wild shot had found its target. Jin winced slightly as the bullet tore through the flesh of his arm.

Anna let out a startled cry, and Jin looked up. He would've laughed if the situation hadn't been serious. When Anna's head cracked against the dashboard, it had triggered the air-bag systems in the car, and the whole space of the front seats was taken up by the white, inflated airbags. Anna, herself, was pushed back against her seat by one of the air-bags, and Jin could make out her muffled cries of protest.

Jin took this as an opportunity to escape. He grabbed the door's handle and pushed, but the door didn't budge; locked.

Jim scowled. Damn you, Anna. He propped himself up on the seat and faced the door, and then he swung a powerful kick at the door. The door tore away from its hinges and flew away from the car, until it lay still on the road; a solitary car door without a car.

In the front seat, Anna fought furiously with the air bag while she shouted and screamed at Jin. He could only make out a few of her words.

'You're…going…I…kill…million…bastard!' she screamed.

Jin ignored all of this and stood at the edge of the opening he had created. The car was moving wildly across the road and he couldn't get a clear jump.

Trying to forget the pain he was going to receive when he hit the road, Jin grabbed the edges of the opening and jumped.

He fell to the ground and a blinding pain seared through his body on impact with the granite road. He groaned and cursed under his breath, rolling for a few moments on the ground.

He pushed himself up and staggered up to his feet, one hand clutching the wound the bullet had given him to prevent any further loss of blood. With the other hand he wiped the blood from a cut on his lip given to him by the road.

He watched Anna's car, which was still swinging madly on the road. He uttered a sharp gasp as the car took off its course and headed straight to one of them columns of electrical transmission cables. The car crashed into the iron column. A few seconds passed before the car exploded.

The iron column creaked and bent in protest, and some of the thick electric cable sparked; some town won't be getting its share of electricity this night.

'Oh my God,' he whispered.

Even though he knew that there was no way Anna could've survived that crash, Jin had to make sure himself. He staggered towards the burning car.

'Anna!' he called out, as he approached nearer to the car.

He felt the heat of the flames on his skin and felt the sweat forming on his body. He grimaced slightly, and approached closer. He shielded his face from the flames and squinted into the car, trying to make out the shape of Anna's body in the front seat. He frowned when he saw nothing; Anna couldn't have burnt away that quickly.

'You won't find me in there, Kazama,'

Jin spun around and saw Anna, looking disheveled in her messed up hair and torn outfit, and she was pointing her gun at him.

'Thought you outwitted me, huh, Jin?' Anna hissed, her eyes dancing with madness. 'Thought you got rid of me, didn't you?'

Jin backed away from her; he had to get away from her. But the horrible truth soon dawned on him; there wasn't any place to hide in this open land.

He just had to keep her busy until he came up with a plan. 'I thought you were dead,' he said, quietly.

Anna laughed. 'Silly, you can't kill Anna Williams!' she said. 'I jumped out of the car before it crashed, but I guess you didn't see me.'

'I had to try harder, then, huh?' he said.

Anna paused, and then scowled at him. 'Don't fool around with me, Kazama,' she snapped. 'I know perfectly well that you wouldn't kill me even if you wanted to…the goodness had gotten to you…too bad you aren't still that big bad boy you used to be.'

'I'm better off not being that big bad boy,' he replied.

'You don't know what's good for you, Jin,' Anna said. 'You're only twenty, what do you know about what's good or bad for you?'

'I know enough to tell me how to choose between right or wrong…and what you're doing is wrong, Anna,' he said calmly.

'Shut up, dammit!' she shouted, gun still raised as she advanced on him. 'I don't want to hear this crap from you!'

Jin kept backing away from her. He needed a plan; and he needed it now. Anna was going to shoot him dead; she was determined on doing so.

'Any last words, Jin?' Anna said sweetly, her finger slowly pulling on the trigger.

Jin's breath caught up in his throat; he could run or duck to avoid her bullets, but will he able to keep that going for long? He was dead, for sure…

'Good bye, Jin, darling,' she said softly.

But before she could shoot, Jin's unspoken prayers were answered and the car exploded for the second time.

Jin jumped away to avoid the falling debris and flaming car parts, or what was left of the car parts. But Anna, who was right next to the car when it exploded, got the full blast.

Jin watched in horror as the fire started eating at Anna's body. She shrieked and started running wildly around, the flames dancing about her.

'No! Anna! Don't move!' Jin shouted; his good nature always topped any other feelings he had, and he jumped to help her. 'Anna! Listen to me! Drop to the ground and roll over to put out the flames!'

Was it because she didn't want to listen to what her target was telling her, or because she just couldn't hear him over the sound of her deafening screams, Anna didn't stop running.

'Anna!' he cried.

He rushed after her, and without thinking, he grabbed hold of her and, ignoring the fire which was scorched his hands, threw her to the ground.

'Now roll over, Anna! Roll over!' he shouted.

But Anna just thrashed helplessly about on the ground, screaming at the top of her lungs. Jin looked powerlessly down at her, and then he dropped to his knees beside her and started rolling her across the ground, eyes watering as the fire scorched his hands. He rolled her over and over again till the flames died away, and along with that died her screams.

Feeling exhausted and woozy, Jin tumbled down beside the charred body of Anna. The loss of blood from his arm made him feel extremely lightheaded, and the burns on his hands were causing him endless, blinding pain.

He lay on the ground panting as his surroundings started to blur and fade before his eyes. The smell of scorched flesh filled his nostrils and he started feeling nauseous.

'Jin?'

Jin looked up at the sound of the hoarse whisper and stared at Anna. 'You're still alive!' he gasped, although his voice came out feeble and weak.

'Why'd you help me?' she asked. 'I tried to kill you, why did help me?'

'I guess…the goodness had gotten a firm hold of me,' he whispered.

The last thing he saw before the world faded before him was Anna's scorched smile.

'Jin…'

Hwoarang raised his eyebrows in surprise as Xiaoyu curled up on her seat and snuggled closer to him.

He looked down at her and saw that she was sleeping, a blissful smile across her pretty features. How, just how, she managed to sleep in such serious times was a mystery to him.

'Er…Xiaoyu…' he said, starting to ease her off him.

But Xiaoyu refused to budge. Instead, she snuggled in closer to him. Hwoarang sighed and let it go. He looked out his window and saw some building tips in a distance.

'Er, sir…' he said to the train attendant who was passing by their seats. 'Are we anywhere near New York?'

The attendant smiled and nodded. 'Yes, sir, what you're seeing is the city of New York,' he said, and glanced at his wristwatch. 'It's six a.m. now, we'll be at the station in fifteen minutes.'

Hwoarang nodded. 'Thanks,' he said.

After the last train to New York had left, Hwoarang and Xiaoyu had had to wait for a whole twelve hours till the second train came. Hwoarang had to put up with Xiaoyu's tutting and complaining and grumbling the whole time; he considered it a miracle that his patience hadn't reached his breaking point. And when they had boarded the train, she had immediately fallen asleep, and he considered it a huge relief; he wasn't prepared to listen to her continuous grumbling for the whole six hours of the journey.

Now the one question swarming Hwoarang's head was; how the hell were they going to find Jin in a vast city such as New York?

He sighed again and kicked this thought out of his mind as his concentration turned to Xiaoyu and how to wake her up; he knew she was an incredibly heavy sleeper.

'Xiaoyu,' he said, shaking her gently. But she didn't wake up. 'Xiaoyu, wake up, we've reached New York,' She didn't even twitch. 'C'mon, Xiaoyu, wake up!'

Xiaoyu just smiled and nestled closer to him. Hwoarang looked down at her, scratching his head. Then he grinned as an idea popped into his head.

He leaned down so he could whisper in her ear. 'Xiaoyu…Jin's here,' he said softly.

The effect was almost miraculous as it was fast. Xiaoyu rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and bolted upright. 'Jin?' she said, rather drowsily. 'Where is he?'

Hwoarang chuckled. 'Knew that would wake you up,' he said.

Xiaoyu scowled at him. 'You jerk!' she hissed, smacking him around the head. 'Why'd you do that for?'

Hwoarang rubbed the spot where she had hit him. 'Sorry,' he said. 'But I had to wake you up somehow; we've got to New York.'

'We have?' Xiaoyu squealed. She flattened him back against his seat as she leaned forward and pressed her face against the glass pane. 'Where? Oh, yeah, I saw it!'

Hwoarang grabbed her and forced her back onto her seat. 'Oi!' he said. 'It's not like you're gonna spot Jin from here!'

'Very funny, Hwoarang,' she muttered.

In a few minutes, the train reached the station and they were standing on the crowded platform, at total loss of where to go next.

'PAPER! Check out today's news! Who wants to buy a paper?'

Xiaoyu grabbed the paperboy by the neck of his t-shirt as he rushed past her. 'Hold on a minute,' she said, as she dug for cash out of her purse with her free hand. 'I want a paper.'

'Yes, ma'am,' the boy said. He took the money from her and handed her a copy, before rushing off, shouting, "Paper! Anyone wants a paper? "

'What are you so interested in reading the paper for?' Hwoarang muttered. 'This isn't the perfect time for this, Xiaoyu.'

'I know,' she said, thoughtfully. 'It would've been better if I were sitting, drinking a mug of steaming coffee while reading this.'

Hwoarang sighed in exasperation, but leaned across her shoulder to check out today's headlines, anyway. One headline in the corner caught his attention, and he jabbed a finger at it. 'Hey, what's that?' he said.

'Couple caught in a car explosion,' Xiaoyu read out. 'A couple, a woman with the name Anna Williams…and a man, known as Jin Kazama, were caught in a car explo…what? Did he say Jin?'

'Read on, Xiaoyu…' Hwoarang urged her.

Xiaoyu calmed herself down a bit and continued. '…were caught in a car explosion. The woman came out with severe burnings, and the man got minor ones, although medical reports have stated that he was also suffering from a wound caused by a bullet. The couple was found in the very early hours of the morning by a truck driver…More on page 23…what does this mean?'

'Anna Williams…?' Hwoarang muttered under his breath.

'Does this mean that Jin isn't being stalked in the first place? That he just left to escape with that Anna Williams?' she said angrily.

'Where did I hear that name before?' Hwoarang whispered.

'Oh, I could kill that jerk!' Xiaoyu fumed, and started to flip furiously through the pages. 'That is if he isn't already dead! Let's see what the rest of the report says…'

'No, Xiaoyu! You've misunderstood this!' Hwoarang said, grabbing hold of her by the shoulders. 'I know this girl! She's an assassin! She must be after Jin!'

Xiaoyu blinked. 'She…is?' she said. 'So, Jin hadn't betrayed me or anything?'

'Xiaoyu, focus, alright?' Hwoarang said angrily. 'This Anna Williams wants to kill Jin, and she could've already succeeded…'

'No, she didn't,' Xiaoyu replied. 'Look, it says here that they're both alive and are receiving medical treatment in some hospital downtown.'

'Ok, good,' Hwoarang said. 'Now we gotta go there, find Jin and help him, alright?'

'Yes, of course,' Xiaoyu said briskly. 'We must get to him before that Anna tries something funny with my Jin.'

Hwoarang had to exercise a lot of self-control to stop himself from strangling her at that moment.

-

Although they felt like rocks on his eyes, Jin managed to pry his eyelids open. And once he did, he was able to regain the feeling in his body, and with it he regained the horrible pain in his hands and arm.

He also noticed that there was a ceiling above his head. Last time he was conscious there was just the black, starry sky above him. The smell of chlorine which filled his nostrils told him he was in a hospital.

'Oh, good, you're finally up,'

Jin turned his head around and saw the blond nurse standing by his bed.

'How long have I been out?' he asked groggily.

'Oh, I'd say about nine to ten hours,' she replied. 'You lost a lot of blood, and those burns on your hands aren't so good either.'

Jin lifted up his hands and saw that they were heavily bandaged. 'How long will it take 'em to heal?' he asked.

'I dunno,' the nurse replied. 'You should ask the doctor…but your poor friend is gonna stick to those awful scorches and scars for the rest of her life.'

Jin looked in the direction to where the nurse was looking, and saw that Anna was lying on a bed next to him. She was bandaged from head to toe, and if it weren't for the strand of orange hair sticking out from beneath the bandages, and the fact that the nurse had indicated her as his "friend", Jin wouldn't have known it was her.

'Of course, being the kind person that I am, I won't let her suffer so much,' the nurse said.

Jin switched his attention back to the nurse. 'What're you going to do to…?' he said, but his voice trailed off as he saw the gun with a sound-muffler attached to it, in her hand. 'What the…?'

But before he could do anything, the nurse fired a bullet at Anna's body. One second she was an unmoving body with a life, the next she was an unmoving body without one.

'Why the hell did you do that for?' he shouted, scrambling off his bed and backing away from her.

'Well, you couldn't just let my sweet sister die burning, so I had to finish her off myself,' the nurse said, smiling.

'Huh?' he said, confused.

Now the nurse pointed the gun at him. 'Nina Williams, nice to meet you, Kazama,' she said, that wide smile still plastered upon her face.

'Oh, hell,' Jin muttered.
