It was a dreadful 20 minutes until they finally arrived at their destination. Both Jin and Xiaoyu were silent during the whole ride. Xiaoyu drowned in her sadness as Jin remained emotionless as always.

Jin quickly paid the driver then exited the car first and went to Xiaoyu's side to open her door. Xiaoyu quietly exited the car as well and closed the door behind her. When the taxi drove off Jin immediately proceeded to walk into the building, expecting Xiaoyu to follow which she did. When they entered the building Jin kept his face well hidden with his hood. Xiaoyu wanted to question to him but then remembered he's considered to be dead by the whole world. If people found out the most dangerous man in the world were here it could be troublesome. Xiaoyu then scanned the area. People rushed around with brief cases and luggage as some sat waiting for their flight. Suddenly Jin stopped, causing Xiaoyu to stop as well.

"Last call for flight to Japan!" An announcement was made.

Xiaoyu's eyes widened.

"Xiaoyu."

"Y-You're trying to take me home!? I knew it!" Xiaoyu raised her voice earning a few gazes from strangers.

"Shh, people are staring."

"Why are you still trying to take me home!?" She ignored his request and continued speaking over her lungs.

"Xiaoyu, lower your voice..." He said calmly.

"No! Tell me why you are trying to take me back home. I thought we discussed this already? I thought we concluded that I am to stay with you?"

"I've made up my mind, I can't let you stay here or with me. It's far too dangerous for you."

"But you said- "

"Last call for flight to Japan!" The announcement was made once again.

"Xiaoyu, go."

"NO!"

Jin became exasperated.

"Xiaoyu go or else.." he said angrily.

"I said-" Xiaoyu interrupted herself. "Did you just threaten me? What are you going to do, huh!?"

Jin did not reply but merely responded by snatching Xiaoyu's hand in frustration and dragging her behind.

"LET ME GO!" she shouted only earning a tighter grip from Jin.

"Stop! Let me go, you're hurting me!"

"HEY!"

Jin paused in place with his head down and his hold still on Xiaoyu.

The male stranger walked close to Jin. "If the lady doesn't want to go don't force her!"

Jin's mind was blinded by annoyance and anger. His blood only boiled at this point. And without thought Jin suddenly struck the man with a powerful backhand that sent the man crashing through a wall and into the restrooms. Xiaoyu gasped then slapped her free hand onto her mouth with eyes gaped in surprise. Even when Jin is not in his devil form he still possess incredible strength. People that surrounded them either screamed in fear, scrambled away, or stood traumatized.

Jin brought his hand close to his face and clenched it. "Shit!" He hissed under his breath.

"You there!"

Both Jin and Xiaoyu brought their attention to security guards that quickly approached them. Jin released Xiaoyu's hand and kept his head low. She looked at him for answers however he remained still.

"Go..." Jin whispered.

"Huh?" Xiaoyu said with confusion.

"Go...now before it's too late."

"I'm not leaving! I'm staying with you."

Security guards now surrounded them. Jin shut his eyes with his head still down.

It's been awhile since I've shatter bones and made blood spill everywhere. Perhaps I can display a show for my darling, Xiaoyu.

Jin attempted to ignore the Devil's desire and looked at Xiaoyu, shockingly he found her in her phoenix fighting stance. She stood with determination to fight.

As long as I'm here, I won't let them hurt him! She remained on guard with a solemn face.

The security guards that surrounded Jin and Xiaoyu looked at one and another confused as to why she was preparing to fight them. They thought she was the victim but if they must, they will take her into custody too.

"Get them both!" One of them shouted.

And with that command all the security guards proceeded forward to grab them. Xiaoyu felt a hand grasp her arm and immediately responded by grabbing a hold of his own arm with both of her hands. With all her strength, she flipped the security guard over her and onto the floor. Suddenly she felt another hand on her arm and was about to attack but saw the hand wore a familiar red gauntlet.

"What are you-"

"This is my fight." Jin interrupted Xiaoyu. "Don't interfere!" He then roughly shoved her out of the center, leaving him alone to face the security guards.

"What are you doing, Ji-" Xiaoyu smacked both of her hands onto her lips to suppress his name. She almost forgot not to reveal his grave name to the public.

I don't care what he wants I need to help him! Xiaoyu began to charge towards the group but was suddenly sent back when a guards' body flew on her, knocking her down onto the floor.

Xiaoyu, now on her back, slowly lifted her neck to see what had occurred. Wha-what just happened?

There before her, all the guards still surrounded Jin however their bodies were on the floor. It was as if an invisible wave blasted them away. They looked to be unconscious while Jin stood with his back to Xiaoyu. Suddenly his head began to slowly turn towards Xiaoyu. This odd movement from him caused her to tremble.

Xiaoyu gasped with wide eyes.

She was now looking into glowing yellow eyes with thin slit pupils. But what feared her the most was the creepy smile that formed on his face after he turned his face half way to her. The smile she remembered from one person only.

Devil Jin.

However, he did not posses all his demonic physical features except for his eyes.

How did... Xiaoyu was mentally going to question herself until she saw one guard rose up from the floor and began to charge at Jin.

In a split second the guard found his head being held in Jin's hand. Xiaoyu's heart pounded with the familiar scene flooding her head of the cause of Hwoarang's death.

Xiaoyu got up onto her feet. "JIN, DON'T!" She shouted.

Jin however, deaf by the Devil's lust to kill, took his other hand and applied it to the other side of the man's head. Without struggling, he instantly snapped the man's neck with a satisfying loud crack, he dropped the man's corpse onto the floor.

"NOOO!" Xiaoyu screamed at the stop of her lungs. Without thinking, she ran towards him.

Suddenly she gasped.

She felt fingers wrap around her fragile neck. She lifted her face up to meet the face of the killer. His eyes were looking at her but they were not looking INTO her.

Then she had another memory.

The memory of how Miharu died. She was choked to death, not directly by Jin's hands, but from the special telekinetic ability. But more specifically, by the hands of the Devil.

Clear liquid streamed down Xiaoyu's cheeks and her lips began to tremble as if she were freezing cold. Perhaps this could finally be the day she will lose her life similar to the rest of her friends?

"Jin..." She said, preparing for whatever will happen to her.

Suddenly Jin's demonic eyes widen.

"...X-Xiaoyu!?" He immediately released his hand from her neck to bring both of his hands to his head.

Xiaoyu was completely puzzled by this and stood still not knowing what to do. Jin finally returned his gaze back to Xiaoyu only this time he did not have his demonic eyes but rather his normal brown ones.

"Xiaoyu... I-"

"They're right over there! Stop them!" More security guards rushed towards them.

We've got to get out of here...It's too late to send her off now. Jin thought now regretting for losing control of his actions.

Jin then quickly took Xiaoyu's hand once more and began sprinting through the airport to find a nearby exit. Meanwhile Xiaoyu remained silent, keeping up with Jin's pace. Finally he managed to find an exit and push people aside to get through. Once they both made it outside they heard the security guards voices and footsteps move closer to them. Jin's eyes moved in many directions until his eyes paused on a motorcycle that pulled up in a parking lot a crossed the street from them. Jin led Xiaoyu to the parking lot and stood in front of the motorcycle that had the engine running with a man still on it. The man removed his helmet and looked at Jin in confusion.

"What do you want?" He asked.

"Your ride." Jin replied.

Before the man could react he was shoved off the bike, falling onto the floor. He then realized Jin and Xiaoyu were now on it.

"HEY! WHAT THE FUCK? GET OFF MY BIKE!" He shouted preparing to get up off the concrete ground.

"J-Jin?" Xiaoyu broke her silence.

"Put this on," he spoke and applied the helmet on her head for protection. "Hang on tight, Xiaoyu." He returned his gaze forward, applying his hands on the handles.

Xiaoyu tightly wrapped her arms around Jin and lightly laid her head on his back. She has never road on a motorcycle nor road in the back with someone. She knew Jin was a great motorcycle driver however this will be the first time she will experience her first ride.

Suddenly the man was now on his feet preparing to remove Jin and Xiaoyu from his vehicle. Jin then hit the gas and road his way out of the parking lot and into the street. As they moved very fast Xiaoyu watched cars, buildings, and people on sidewalks pass by. The wind blew so hard Jin's hood no longer covered his head, now revealing his bare face to the world. Jin took a quick glance at the sky above him and spotted a plane moving the same direction as them only slower. He brought his attention back to the open road and tightened his grip on the handles.

Dammit...

"Ms. Kazama?"

Asuka Kazama slowly turned her head to the knocking door as she sat on the hospital bed with her arm wrapped in a cast. The reason she was put into this hospital is because Devil Jin had severely broken her right arm from applying his foot onto her arm and crushing it with all his weight and strength. After that she couldn't remember what else happened, everything went black.

The door opened and a nurse walked in with a cart full of supplies and medicine.

"How are you feeling today, Asuka?" The nurse asked pulling out her clipboard.

"I'm fine."

She wrote in her clipboard "Have you felt any physical pain?" The nurse kept her face glued onto her clipboard.

"No.." Asuka simply replied. She glanced at her arm then a certain blonde entered her mind.

I wonder where's Lili.. Asuka thought.

"Okay, now have you experience-"

"Wait, before you ask me more questions, I need some answers to mine.." Asuka interrupted the nurse.

The nurse lifted her face from her clipboard and gave Asuka a confused expression.

"Is Lili here?"

"Excuse me?"

"Emilie De Rochefort, long blonde hair, thin, blue eyes... is she here?"

"Hmmm..." The nurse flipped through papers on her clipboard. "Ah yes, she is here."

"She is?" Asuka's face lit up in relief.

The nurse quietly nodded in reply. Asuka has not seen Lili since the night of the prom and before she went unconscious.

"Is she ok? Can I see her?"

"I am sure she is okay, though I am not quite sure if she able to see visitors at this time."

"Oh..." Asuka said looking at the window. She has not left the hospital at all since the night they dropped her off.

"When am I allow to go home?" Asuka questioned.

"Hmm..." The nurse looked back in her clipboard, flipping through pages again.

"You don't seem to need anything else except taking your pills everyday."

Asuka merely remained silent waiting for more information.

"But yes, we would like to keep you for one more night to make sure you're one hundred percent. Is that all right with you?"

"That's fine." Asuka replied. She looked down to the arm that was covered in the cast then at her free left arm.

She clenched her left fist.

When I get out of here, I'll make him pay for this...

After 10 minutes of being on the road they finally made a stop in front of a motel. Jin parked the motorcycle by the side walk and got off the motorcycle. Xiaoyu removed her helmet and hopped off the bike as well. She followed Jin as he walked in the motel. As he walked in he lower his hood to hide his identity. Jin ended up renting a room for the night. When the man gave Jin the key to the room, he located the room, unlocked the door, and opened it, allowing Xiaoyu to enter first. Jin then followed, shutting the door behind him. Xiaoyu quietly sat down at the end of the bed with a blank emotion as Jin stood with his back facing the door and his head looking down.

Then there was merely silence. Neither of them had the desire to speak.

Xiaoyu lowered her head as well.

"Xiaoyu."

Xiaoyu slowly brought her head up to meet his voice.

"Do you now see why I don't want you to be near me..?"

Xiaoyu remained silent.

"I almost hurt you again, I refuse to allow that to happen again. That is why I wanted to take you back home. Unfortunately that wasn't a success."

"But..."

"What, Xiaoyu?"

"But You didn't..."

"That doesn't matter I still could have-"

"You were GOING to," She interrupted him with a slight harsh tone. "But you didn't..."

He lifted his gaze up to meet hers.

"You don't know what the Devil is capable of."

"If seeing all my friends get murdered one by one wasn't enough..." Xiaoyu commented under her breath.

Suddenly there was an abrupt sound of many pieces of glass hitting the floor. Xiaoyu blinked then her mouth and eyes gaped in surprise to see that Jin punched a mirror on the wall with his fist which caused the mirror to shatter.

"..Jin? Why did you-"

"THEN WHY THE HELL DO YOU CONTINUE TO FOLLOW ME WHEN YOU ALREADY WITNESSED SO MANY?!" He shouted filling the room with his anger. Blood began to trickle from his knuckles from smashing the glass however he did not care.

"Jin...I.."

"WHEREVER I GO, WHOEVER I AM WITH... PEOPLE DIE XIAOYU, DIE. And you know why I don't want you near me, Xiaoyu...?"

She went silent.

"Because I want to keep you safe, I want to protect you... from me."

"Jin..." She whispered.

"You don't realize..." He lowered his gaze

"You're all that I have left..."

Xiaoyu eyes widened in huge shock.

You're all that I have left... She repeated in her thoughts. It sounded quite familiar to her.

"My mother is dead, I killed my father and grandfather. I killed Asuka and..." his voice drifted off. "I have killed friends... friends that were once yours as well."

Then it finally hit Xiaoyu.

Everything from that dream... from what I heard from that voice... from Jin's MOTHER.. is true!

"Xiaoyu, you're the only one still here... everyone is either dead or despises me. And losing you..." He looked straight into her eyes "Would be the end of me."

"Jin..." Xiaoyu whispered his name once again. She did not expect to hear such words like that release from his lips.

"But tell me this time..." His voice more calm at the moment. "Why won't you go home?"

Jin did not allow Xiaoyu to give her reasoning before for her staying. She did not expect him to give her the opportunity to explain herself so soon. At this point she needed to be honest and tell him.

"Jin, I'm still here because...I had a dream... a-and your mother was in it."

Jin furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

"Then she told me things like you only having me left...similar to what you said. She then told me I needed to protect you and-"

"Protect me..?"

"Yes, Jin. She told me I needed to protect you from-"

"My mother is dead, Xiaoyu."

"Yes I know but-"

"Tell me the truth, Xiaoyu."

"Why would I lie about that Jin? I am telling you the truth, I would never lie to you. I really heard your mother speak to me and tell me to protect you."

"From what exactly!?"

Jun's voice echoed in Xiaoyu's head once again.

"From darkness..."

"...W-What?"

"I know, I was confused too at first but after the incident earlier and on the night of the prom.. I realized she meant-"

"No, I don't want hear about this anymore..." Jin began to turn toward the door to leave.

"I know this sounds crazy, but you've got to believe me, Jin. Please let me explain further."

"I heard enough."

"Jin, wait don't!-"

The door was opened in a blink of an eye and slammed shut before Xiaoyu could open them.

She lowered her head in sadness and sighed.

Leave me...
