Disclaimer: I don't own it.
Note: I'm really grateful that you guys are liking this fic so far. It's hard to plot ahead of time, but I do my best.:P Things will get interesting from here if they haven't by now. I'll try to make it interesting I mean.
"What's wrong Nina, I thought that you would be happy to see me again?" He chuckled a little. Nina began to glare at him as if she wanted to kill him. She was confused, and pissed. There was so many things that were running through her mind right now.
"What do you mean…you aren't Jin? What are you, a body snatcher? Does this mean that Jin really is dead after all? Why were you playing mind games with me last night?" Nina questioned him relentlessly.
"Jin is sleeping. I am a part of him, so hypothetically, he isn't dead as you say he is. And I merely wanted to test whether you would be afraid of me, and you were." He arrogantly spoke to her. Nina's eyes narrowed. His eyes made her feel uneasy, but she wasn't going to let this devil within Jin intimidate her.
"Let's get one thing straight…I'm not afraid of you. Last night, you happened to catch me off guard. But I guarantee to you that it won't happen again." She spoke with malice on her tongue. If anything, he wasn't annoyed one bit by her sudden attitude. He was actually amused. "So you say, human. As far as I'm concerned, you should take up my offer and become my personal bodyguard. It's best if you do as I say if you don't want any trouble."
Nina didn't like the way this man was talking to her. He was apparently the opposite of Jin. She wasn't too sure if she could get used to a guy like him. But if she could tolerate Anna, then she could probably do the same for him. Nina decided to stay calm so she that she wouldn't appear to be naive. She was always good for putting on a stoic face. "What's in it for me? If I work for you I mean." Nina asked him, her cold eyes looking into his.
"You'll have an opportunity to rule the world next to me. That alone, should be good enough for any mortal."
Nina narrowed her eyes at him. Was he for real? "You have no idea how many times I've heard that bullshit line. Can't you think of anything better than the whole 'rule the world' concept? Here's what I have to say to your offer; no deal."
She turned around to walk off once again, the guards only watched her go. Just before she could step out, he said to her,
"I guess you don't care about Jin, do you? Otherwise, you wouldn't walk off." Hearing that stung her heart. She slowly turned back around and glared. "Of course I care about Jin. But like you said, you aren't Jin. So what's the point in pleasing his counterpart? There's no point, that's what. I'm going to pretend like this conversation never happened. You trick me, thinking that I was going to die in my own home for your own selfish reasons, and now you use Jin's body as if you own it. Do me a favor and keep your demons out of my house. I'd hate to redecorate my house with bullets. Besides, you haven't even given me your name." She said to him in the most gruffest tone ever. Her cold attitude didn't last for long, because the gleeful look on his face. "I have no name. Satisfied?" He grinned even wider after speaking.
"And just what the hell are you grinning ear to ear about?" She confusedly asked him. "You're an interesting specimen. You dare to talk to me in that kind of manner as if you aren't afraid anymore. It's no wonder I decided to hunt you down that night. If only you didn't run from me…" He chuckled, getting close to her face. Nina quickly backed away, taking out her pistol quickly and pointed it directly at his chest. "Stay away from me, DJ…don't come any closer, unless you'd like a new coat of paint on your walls. I think your blood painted on the walls sounds like a good idea…" He was extremely amused now, especially because of the nickname she called him. He looked at his men and as if he was plotting something. "Men, leave us. I see that the bold little human wishes to do this in private." The men simply emptied out the room as they were told.
"Heh, what a shame. Who's going to help me clean up to mess I make when I write your how much I hate you in your own fucking blood all over these walls? I'll admit, I'm not entirely artistic, but I think your corpse will make a fine piece of work." Nina taunted him, continuing to keep her gun pointed at him.
He wasn't at all intimidated by the flimsy gun. Even if she did shoot him, it wouldn't hurt him. He figured that she'd remember that by now. "Nina, how much do you like to kill?" He asked, showing complete interest in her.
"To be honest, I like it a lot. It's the only thing that makes me feel alive. Destruction will always give someone like me a reason to be the killer that I am today. Why do you ask?"
"It's simple. Working for me will mean that you'll exterminate an excruciating amount of enemies for me. It's pretty obvious that I'm not a likable guy. Disregarding that, you have nothing else to do with your life, am I right? This is what you were made for. Besides, there's always a possibility that Jin could awaken again. You don't want to miss out on that, now do you?"
Nina lowered her gun and thought about it for a while. He did have a point. She didn't have anything else to do. All of her bosses were slaughtered, leaving her with no job at all. And hearing that Jin could come back seemed to enlighten her.
"I'll have to think long and hard about this. Right now, I don't know what to think. How do I know that you aren't lying to me?" She skeptically asked him. "Maybe I'm lying, maybe I'm not. I'm not the kiss and tell type. It's up to you to believe what is true and what isn't. Only then will you get the answer that you seek so badly." He told her.
"…I'll have to see…how I'm feeling about this tomorrow. Give me until tomorrow, and I'll let you know my decision then." Nina began to walk off after she spoke to him.
"I can hardly wait…" He let out a cruel chuckle as she left, making her shudder from it.
Back at home, Nina was in her bed, staring at the ceiling. She couldn't sleep, no matter how many times she shut her eyelids. "If he thinks that I'll change my mind, he has another thing coming…though that offer of his did sound pleasing. I've got nothing better to do anyway..." She told herself.
She was still taking in the fact that DJ was just another side of Jin. She didn't know why it was a bit surprising. Maybe it was because of the fact that DJ scared the living hell out of her when they first met. Even though he was the evil side of Jin, he didn't seem as evil as he looked. She figured that he was interested in her, she wasn't sure in what kind of way though. When she heard him talking about devouring her, it gave her chills. "I wouldn't be surprised if he was a cannibal…" She sarcastically said to herself. Nina listened to the silence for a long while…until there was sound of glass shattering along with loud growling. She quickly jumped out of bed and knew what the sound was.
She didn't make any remarks. She just reached for her shotgun and began to grin. "Round three…" She charged into the other room where the gargoyles were apparently looking for her. She began to shoot into each of them, grinning coldly as she did so. Just hearing their screams of pain excited her. It seemed like there was an unlimited supply of them coming at her. When she ran out of ammo, she began to attack them with critical blows. After wiping a few of them out, a much larger one come into her sight.
"That's one huge bastard. Heh, the bigger they are, the harder they fall." She attacked the huge gargoyle, but it didn't seem entirely hurt by her attacks. It just backhanded her away, causing her to crash into the ground harshly. She almost passed out from the simple attack.
"Well, so much for that quote…" Nina dryly told herself. She tried to move, but she was in too much pain. She could see more gargoyles coming at her, but she couldn't even move. She closed her eyes and uttered, "I guess this is what happens when I rely on myself entirely.." The moment she saw the huge demon raise his hand to finish her off, it was punched away by a familiar pale body. The other gargoyles looked hesitant when they saw the newcomer.
"Ah, I thought I smelled fresh blood. It's a shame that I have to kill you all…"
Hearing him speak, Nina knew it was DJ. But he looked different from when she saw him at the Zaibatsu. He had huge black wings, horns, and claws for hands. He looked over at Nina and pointed a finger at her.
"Stay put human. I will finish the job that you simply could not." After he spoke, one of the gargoyles were foolish enough to attempt striking him from behind. He undauntedly dismantled them all without any source of struggle. Nina couldn't believe what she was seeing. His raw power alone was amazing. She never would've thought that Jin's evil side was this strong. That psychopathic grin on his face as he continued to wipe his opponents out…it was strangely exciting, but scary at the same time.
The remaining gargoyles fleeted out of fear, leaving the two alone. He slowly approached Nina, his deadly white gaze was hypnotizing.
"Why…why did you come all this way to help me? So you can humiliate me?" She asked him while she struggled to stand on her feet.
"Have you already forgotten what I said to you? I told you… couldn't wait to devour you…and here you are, vulnerable like a rabbit in the presence of a wolf..."
He was closing in on her, trapping her in the corner of the room. Nina could hear her heart pounding out of her chest. She didn't know what he'd do next, nor did she want to find out.
Or did she?
I hate those stupid gargoyles. They always kick my ass when I play Nightmare Train.-_- Anyways, the next chapter's coming soon. I think I should be working on "Blond Enforcer". Eh, I'll do it now…
