"Heihachi…my grandfather…he's supposed to be dead!" Jin looked up from his chains to realise Xiaoyu wasn't listening. Her eyes were closed. Jin forced himself to move to her side, she was ice cold which was no surprise seen as all she had on was her undergarments. "Stay awake Xiaoyu…come on my rose. Stay awake please!" He begged, rubbing her hands to warm them up.
"Mum?" Xiaoyu smiled at the figure dressed in a peach coloured dress.
"My daughter. You can't be here now…not yet."
"What?"
"It isn't time for you to die…"
"Why not?"
"The prince still needs you. You must help him to escape, and then…"
"I
die?" Xiaoyu looked down onto the floor only to see nothing but a
shimmering light.
"It is your destiny. You are to be an old flame in Jin's life, and then you will die. He will grieve for you, but that will make him a more understanding king when it is his time to become Emperor of Japan.
"What?"
"Ying and yang as you two are was and is never to last."
"Was? Mum you say this as if it's happened before?" Xiaoyu was unsure, confused. Her look was dazed.
"There was once a kind Prince
Of The West, he was believed to be a natural and fierce fighter. Then
he married a young Princess From The South who was known to be a
great fighter and wise woman. They were happy and ruled well, until a
dark day when a mysterious being known as Ogre appeared in front of
the queen when she was out one night. The being killed her swiftly
and stole her lifeline and powers of fighting, he became stronger.
The king was overcome by grief for years until he died." The spirit
took out a ying yang pendant from her pocket.
"How many times has this happened?"
"When two are born destined to be together, when one is ying and the other is yang, when the moon is full and the stars are lit." The voice echoed in the place.
The field of white started to disappear.
She woke up in Jin's lap. Her hand grabbed his in fear. "Jin!" she gasped, shaking him awake.
His eyes opened and he just sat up staring at her. His hand reached out and brushed away the snowflakes from her face. "You ok?" he asked.
"Yea…fine," she whispered, hugging him and leaning her head on his shoulders. He could feel she was still cold and started to take off his black coat that he put on when the fight began.
"Keep it on Jin…you'll need it."
Jin ignored her pleas and carefully wrapped the coat around her.
"Why is Heihachi so pleased to have you captured?"
"He was overthrown by his son…my father. Heihachi Mishima is a heartless person and always has been. He treated my father harshly; even threw him off a cliff. Which in turn created the devil gene in Kazuya and me. Then my father met my mother, fell in love and wanted desperately to marry her. She was a Chinese slave…with a fighter's spirit and the heart full of pureness. Heihachi hated her; he even tried to kill her in a fight. Kazuya beat Heihachi in a fight though and threw him in tern of a cliff edge. Heihachi wants revenge."
"So he'll probably kill you then…"
"Eventually…as soon as he has the devil gene in me he will torture and then kill me. I was warned about him, but before he starts on me…he'll find my weakness."
"What do you mean?"
"He'll hurt you first! He'll kill you slowly in front of me and I will be powerless, unless…unless I allow the devil gene to consume me."
"Please…don't let the devil gene consume you, no matter what happens to me…if I die then do what you must to escape but until then don't give in," Xiao begged and pleaded with him but he didn't listen.
"Ling!" A voice barked from the outside of the tent like prison.
She stood up but Jin grabbed her hand. "I'll come with you Xiaoyu."
He used her full first name instead of her nickname, she knew he was serious and wouldn't change his mind.
Heihachi watched as Jin and Xiaoyu appeared in front of him, the young woman was kicked on her leg to force her to bow down to the general but Jin retaliated with brutal force.
Heihachi walked up to his lead captain and whispered in his ear. "Give me your knife."
He approached Jin cautiously while Jin was beating up the soldier who had attacked Xiao.
"JIN!" She screamed. She saw the glint of the shiny metal in Heihachi's upraised hand. She dived in front of him and tried to force the knife out of the Chinese general's hand.
Jin smashed his fist into the soldiers face one last time and turned around to see Xiao stabbed in the stomach by Heihachi. Anger swelled in him, without realising that Xiao never wanted him to use the devil gene he began to slowly and painfully turn into Devil Jin.
Xiao collapsed onto the ground and tried to pull out the blade, but she didn't have enough strength left, her fingers fumbled on the handle and she tried her best to hold the handle carefully and pull.
A shadow towered over her. She heard Devil Jin's merciless cry of anger and hatred, she turned around slowly and shrank away fearfully from Devil Jin.
He turned from Xiaoyu to face Heihachi; he clenched his claw and walked towards his grandfather. Brutally he smashed his fist into Heihachi's face and slammed down his other fist on top of his head, knocking him senselessly to the ground. Devil Jin raised his fist to strike the general again but something stopped him, he felt someone touch his fist from behind. He turned his head slightly and saw her. He felt a deep disire to kill her, to crush her spirit and to brake her heart but something held him back. He lowered his fist and let go of the scruff of Heihachi's cloak.
"Jin..." She spoke calmly, trying not to show fear behind her eyes.
