Note: Took a while to think of something to go along with. Short or not, couldn't think of what else to put into this...

It's been three days since Nina started living inside of the Mishima Zaibatsu. Never did she think for a moment that she'd end up sleeping with the evil counterpart of her own boss. At times, it felt as if they were both married, if you wanted to call that.

He would always talk possessively to her, almost as if she was a pet or a tool. But at the same time, there was some sort of faint sign of affection behind his words. She did remember him saying that even though he was the same as Jin, he wasn't actually the gentle type. So it didn't bother her at all. Besides, she liked his aggressiveness.

Nina was still sleeping in bed. However, her partner was finally rousing from his sleep. Sitting up slowly and realizing where he was, he became baffled.

"Where…Why am I back at the Zaibatsu?" Jin asked himself. Yes, It was Jin. He didn't realize all the things that was going on. His skin was at it's normal complexion without those horns or markings.

"I killed Azazel, yet, I'm still alive…that means…" He glanced at his arm and still saw that marking on his arm. "No…why can't you just leave…?" He asked in dismay. He wanted nothing to do with the devil gene. It was causing him so much pain and suffering. But a sudden movement in his bed startled him. When he looked over to his side, he saw Nina looking at him.

"N-Nina, what are you doing here?" He asked shyly, wondering why she was naked in bed with him. Nina gave him an awkward stare.

"Jin, is that you?" She asked with concern. "Of course it's me, who else would I be?" He asked her back. "Oh…" Was all she said, taking her eyes away from his with disappointment.

"Nina…is something wrong?" He suddenly asked, looking guilty. She quietly stared down at her lap before she said anything. He noticed how pale she was compared to how she originally looked, and became concerned.

"You don't look so well, are you alright?" He asked her again. "It's…it's hard for me to explain…but I see that you have control over yourself again, so I'll leave you to your thoughts…" She tried to get out of bed, but he grabbed her and pulled her back in bed with him.

"No, you're keeping something from me, and I want to know what's the problem. Sure, there's ten thousand things going through my mind right now, but you're…worrying me. Tell me what's wrong…"

Nina refused to look at him. She didn't actually know what to say to him. "Y…your counterpart took over your body. He's been taking care of the Zaibatsu for you."

Jin looked down at his hands, narrowing his eyes. "So it's true after all…he's still inside of me…"

"Jin.." Nina began to him. "No, it's okay. This is something that must live with." There was disappoint in his voice. She only knew it made him feel like a failure. He started a war to awaken Azazel because he knew only hate would strive him to reanimate himself. And after delivering the final blow to him, he though that would be the end of his cursed life and bloodline. But now…he was still alive, meaning that everything he's done to the world…was for nothing.

"I feel so selfish right now, it makes no sense at all. Why am I still alive?" He asked himself with frustration. "Maybe it's a sign that it isn't your time to go just yet. Jin, don't try to end your bloodline. You'll only fail again and again. Don't bring yourself down because of the devil inside of you. It may sound strange, but you can't get rid of him. He's the same as you. You can't be as one whole without him." She explained to him. He looked over at her a little shocked.

"He's spoken to you, hasn't he? What did he say to you?"

"He wanted to devour me."

"WHAT?"

"And then he told me that he shared the same feelings for me as you did. He said that you can't live without him and you both are the same person. Is it true Jin? Are you and him the same person?" Nina asked, waiting for an answer. He closed his eyes and sighed.

"Yes…we're the same. No matter how much I wish we weren't…"

"DJ isn't all that bad. Sure he's a psycho, but I like that." Jin opened his eyes and looked at her again. Did he hear her correctly? "DJ? You gave him a name?" He asked, baffled as ever. "Yeah, he needed one. I'm not good with nicknames, you don't have to tell me-"

"No, I don't care about that. But what I do care about is the fact that he came in contact with you…and…well…" He trailed off, eyeing her awkwardly.

"What?" Nina was waiting for him to finish. He glanced over at her again and finally spoke. "The fact that you're in my bed-"

"Correction, OUR bed." Nina interrupted. He was almost taken back by that. "O-o-our bed?" He repeated as he stretched his eyes a little. "DJ wanted me to work for him as his personal bodyguard. And he also wanted me to share the same bed with him." Nina simply told him.

"No wonder we're both…bare. He slept with you, didn't he?" He asked her, trying to hide the envy that was in his voice. "No, I slept with HIM."

"What's the difference?"

"He offered, not me. That's the difference."

"And you just blindly accepted his invitation? You don't seem like the type that would just…do that."

"What are you trying to say Jin? Are you saying that I'm a fucking slut?" She began to narrow her eyes at him. He noticed how intense those eyes of hers were. Sure, they were always cruel looking, but something about her eyes just made her seem eerie.

"Nina, what's going on with you? You aren't acting the same…"

"I changed, that's what." She spat to him.

"Nina, I didn't mean for it to come out that way-"

"It's fine. I can see that you need time to think to yourself, so I'm leaving. You won't have to worry about me harassing you anymore." She covered herself with a sheet and tried to storm off, but he grabbed her wrist to stop her. "Nina, please let me talk to you."

She unleashed an insane laugh that he never heard from her in his life. "You want to talk? Fine, let's talk, Jin. You obviously aren't too proud about having a devil in your body, but what's the big fucking deal? So what if he murders and manipulates others, he's not any different from the filth that roams the earth. While I was here, assuming that you were dead, I left this place and became an assassin once again. But it didn't work out too well since your counterpart murdered all of my clients. That was when he told me that he wanted me to be by his side. But what's the difference between protecting you and protecting him! You're both the same person, only you two see things differently! The sadist within me has corrupted me, changing the precious Nina that you thought that I would still be. I'm still lovable, but it's up to you to accept that or not. I care about you and DJ, okay? So let's not make this any difficult than it already is….because it's all about Jin Kazama, right?" Nina spat, crossing her arms.

All he could do was stare at her. Who the hell was this woman? She wasn't anything like the Nina he knew. Was it his fault that she came out this way? He sighed, looking at her as he slightly narrowed his eyes.

"I don't even know who you are anymore…" There was definitely disappointment tin his voice.

Hm, looks like thing aren't going to go too well now that Jin's back. Or maybe I'm wrong?
