"Target is in sight." She informed the person on the other side of the receiver with the earpiece.

"Finish it and evacuate." Said the other voice.

She professionally took aim and shoot the target cold bloodedly. "Target down. Evacuating." She informed and packed her gun to start running. She quickly left the area and that meant mission completed.

Now only thing she will do is to wait for the money for the job.

She hopped on her motorcycle and went to her home. She parked in the garage and enter the house. She removed her leather suit. After that her eyes cought her reflection on the mirror. She realised there's a bruise on her shoulder. Must have happened because of the gun's back pressure, she thought.

Before she can get fully dressed, she heard him talking.

"Did you earn money for our home?" He said smiling.

"Yes, I did. I'll make you live in fortune baby." She chuckled.

He got closer and hugged her from behind. Wrapped his hand around her waist. He started to put kisses on her shoulder as she was watching his reflection on the mirror.

"Jin."

"Yes?" he said while he was placing little kisses on her shoulder, neck, ear and cheek.

"Zafina is coming tonight, is that okay?"

He stopped and looked at her reflection also. "Sure, but why?"

"She thinks we need intensive care after all that."

He chuckled. "We can take care of eachother intensively, don't you think?"

She laughed. "Yeah, sure. Still, I want to learn what she has to say."

"Okay, okay. How much time we have until she comes then?"

Nina shrugged. "I don't know. A few hours?"

He turned her around to face her. "Let's redeem it then." He started to kiss her deeply.


Some time ago

She was feeling like she's in whole other world but also feel what's happening around her. She could feel he is still around but everything was like a blurry, trippy experience. She was feeling like she is both underwater and flying through the air. But it was all painful. The pain was constant but she doesn't seem to get use to it. She could feel the things Jin is doing right now on her but the pain was never changing. She felt she's in an infinite loop of a very short period of time and she was living it over and over for million times.

She never slept but she was never awake either.

Jin was waiting beside her for 3 days. He was worried but also sure that she was going to make it. He thought he was responsible of this. Because he was fighting the devil, she was suffering. He guessed it from the beginning, that's why he didn't want to resist the devil for so long. But after he found her, actually she found him, he decided he can help her through it and fight the devil for good this time. The devil and Jin was battling a great war so Nina was the battlefield in this situation. But Jin felt he has the upper hand.

He placed the soaked cloth to her forehead then started to rub her arms, shoulder and chest with soaked sponge to lower her fever. Her breaths were shallow and short. He could see her tiny pupils because her eyes never closed.

"It'll be over, just hang on for a little bit." He whispered. She was hearing him but she couldn't understand nor could answer.

For the one last time, Jin had to fight it again. He felt he was going to make it once and for all. Only thing bothering him was her condition. He wasn't sure if she can take it anymore. But there was no other choice.

He felt it's starting once again. He secured Nina's neck and position and prevented her fall. Then he stood up and got further in case.

"There it comes." He murmured. He felt his soul is under attack. His pulse got higher and muscles were all tensed up. He glanced at Nina. She started to move uncomfortably.

The devil started to felt stronger. Jin was resisting it successfully but Nina gasped for air as her back arched.

"Hang on, Hang on." He said as his veins become easily visible and he clenched his teeth as he closed his eyes firmly. The tattoos started to form on his forehead and chest as his skin went paler and colder. His third eye appeared and he opened his silver white eyes as the laser started beam from his third eye while he was screaming in pain. She was also screaming at the same time with him. She was paler and sweating heavily. She felt this was the end as her and his screams filled her ears. She could perceive surroundings for a second before losing her conscious and she saw Jin was on his knees and screaming loudly.


"Are you awake, do you hear me?" She heard his voice as she was waking up. She felt normal again. She was exhausted but she was back at her body at least. She could hear and understand him. And tried to answer.

"Jin?" Her voice was extremely weak.

Her hand was in his hands. He kissed her palm. "Are feeling alright?"

Nina wanted to nod but she was too tired even for it.

"Tired." She said.

"There, have some water first." He made her drink some water. She felt her dry lips were hurting.

She drank the water.

"Are you okay?" She asked. Her eyelids were still half closed. But she could see that he was looking exhausted too.

"I am fine, don't worry about me." He said. But she saw him as he was struggling. She didn't have the strength to keep talking. Jin made her drink some fruit juice that will give her some energy.

"Get some more sleep." He made her lay down properly. He was glad her fever was gone and she is back to normal, nearly.


She started to wake up again to some noises of two men talking kinda aggressively. One of them was Jin and the other... was Lars? He must have track her.

She opened her eyes, they were not in this room. She tried to sit first but when she straightened her back she started to cough vigorously. She laid back to stop it and turn to side.

Then Jin came in quickly.

"Are you alright?" He helped her drink water. She nodded as she was drinking. She saw Lars is also coming in. "Lars?" She said weakly.

"Nina... Why did you left without telling anyone?" He was angry and worried. But it was not a right time to question her.

"Can't you see her situation? You can ask those questions later." Jin scolded.

"Right, I should choose a time when you didn't torture her." He said angrily. Nina was confused. It was devil, not him. Why Lars was acting like this?

"It's over Lars, I saved her from it." Jin explained in annoyance.

"Did you save yourself from it?" He asked. Jin stayed silent.

"Can you please lower your voices?" Nina intervened. Her head started to ache.

"Do you want to sleep?" Jin asked.

"No, I want to get some fresh air." She said. Jin proceeded to lift her up but she stopped him. "I want to walk." Jin looked unsurely. But changed his mind, he could help her walk.

She tried to stand up but her legs were awfully weak. "Oh, what happened to my muscles?" She asked when she realised she is struggling a lot.

"It's normal, for a few days. I'll hold you." She stood up with Jin's help. She tried to take a step. She wasn't imagining that to be this hard. Jin was holding her tightly. When she took another step, her foot slipped. She would fall if Jin wasn't holding her and Lars also hold her arm too. Jin was sending him deadly stares. He wasn't trusting him a bit anymore. But he couldn't said anything when Nina hold on to his arms to balance herself from each side.

They slowly went to the garden. She breathed in the fresh air. This felt very good since she was feeling like suffocating for the last 3 or 4 days.

She was feeling happy though. Jin was back. Still it was feeling like all dream. But here he was. She was looking at him. He was trying to see if she can stand easily then he raised his head and saw her looking at him. A little smile formed on the corner of his lips. At last they were both standing next to each other and it was the best thing.

"Master Kazama Jin!" Alisa ran and bow down to him.

"Alisa." Jin greeted her.

"Miss Williams!" She also bow down to her.

Nina smiled and looked at Lars then Alisa.

"Last time this four people were in the same location, next thing happened was a demon rised from the ground." Nina chuckled.

I said people but only normal human here is me.

She chuckled again as the other chuckled too.

"Not the luckiest four." Lars said.

"Let's get back in. You need to rest." Jin said to Nina.

Nina let go of Lars' arm. "I'll try to walk."

"Let's not-" Before Jin could finish his sentence, Nina tried to walk and couldn't. Jin hold her arms and prevent her fall.

"You fought a hard battle for 4 days, let's not tire yourself." He lift her inside and made her sit on the bed.

"Can you eat now, you should if you can."

"Actually I am a little bit hungry."

"Okay." He smiled and proceeded to kitchen. Lars stopped him. "I got this, you need to rest too."

He thanked with a nod. And turned back to Nina and sit next to her.

"So, what's the result?" Nina asked him. She was asking about his fight against the devil.

"I leashed him." He said.

"So you beat it?"

"You helped a lot." He put his hand on her cheek.

"Of course, by nearly dying." She scoffed.

He chuckled. "You really did. Devil had to choose a body which will take its side."

"How are you feeling?"

"Tired."

"What are we gonna do now?"

"Don't think about this now. We'll rest for awhile." He caressed her face. She put her hand on top of his.

"I thought I've lost you. I nearly gave up." She sounded so broken.

"But you found me eventually." He put a little kiss on her lips. But she didn't let go, she started to kiss him deeply.

"I missed you." She whispered.

"I missed you too." He said.

Then they heard Lars was coming closer, they seperated from each other.

He brought things to eat. And sat down.

"You need to keep hiding." He said to Jin.

Jin nodded. "I agree."

"Now G-Corp knows you're alive. We have to find out if they have a proof. If not, it's okay. If they do we have to act before them."

Jin nodded again. "Don't forget Heihachi has Serafino right now. He doesn't have a reason but we cannot know."

"Heihachi got Claudio?" Nina asked.

"He got the Mishima Zaibatsu to be specific..." Lars said.

"He got the Zaibatsu?!" Nina asked in shock. What the hell has happened when she was in semi-coma for four days?

"I didn't control it for four days and someone takes it, congratulations Alexandersson..." Nina blamed Lars.

"I was searching for you two bastards!" He defended himself. "I didn't even visit there for all this time."

"Yeah, you did a great job."

"Okay, it's unimportant right now." Jin stopped their little fight. "We can worry about it later. We have to concentrate."

"So what are we gonna do?" Lars asked.

"I am going to finish it for good this time." Jin said. "It's up to me to kill Kazuya."
