(A/N) Well, this is the last chapter, when everything is revealed to Jin, don't worry though... read on, and read muh announcement... Enjoy... this chapter is for all o' those who gave me the reviews!
Chapter 15 – The letter……
"One more week passed…… I was able to speak to Heihachi to withdraw my name… somehow he complied with my request…… Jin made his way to the finals… I had written my little letter to him warning him of Heihachi's evil intentions…… I think he did believe me… because from that day onwards, he gave Heihachi the cold shoulder, never listened to him, it seemed as though he had gotten free of Heihachi's grasp ever since he got that letter…… Right now I'm in the plane… off to San Francisco…… where my new life will begin…… I hope Jin got the other letter I had written to him, and my belated birthday gift to him… I pray that he wins the match…… --sigh—I think… it's for the best that I did this…"
Meanwhile… in Ogres Temple…
There…… were the once proud Ogre stood, the claimer of the souls of the greatest fighter's, was now, nothing but a carcass of the True Ogre that he had transformed into during the match, his lion head, his talons, his snake arm, lying lifeless, on the ground.
"I hope what you told me is true, my friend" Jin said, as usual, he was wearing his pants with the flame creeping up on one of his legs, sweating profusely, but no, he wasn't tired… just angry, with the person he had trusted…… that son of a bitch Heihachi……
Suddenly, a flash of bright light…and then gun shots "Jin jumped out of the way… and made his way to one of the statues nearby, hoping to hide there, until that bastard Heihachi would pass by……
"Sir! I think we got him!" shouted one of the men. There…… one, two, three, four, five… Heihachi… and someone covering them all…… "Hmmm… it won't do any good if I grab Heihachi… maybe I could catch him with fear…… "saying this, he stealthily grabbed the last fellow and gave him a blow to his stomach knocking him unconscious……
There was Heihachi… his back turned, confused at where his grandson could be…… when Jin grabbed him and held the gun to his temple. "And every one of you, guns down…… and get out of this temple……" he yelled, gun still pointed to Heihachi, after they had left he grabbed Heihachi by the scruff of his neck.
"Where's Michelle?" he growled in fury.
"Ughhhh…… w-who? I 've never heard of her…" he was cutoff by Jin ramming his head against his grandfathers.
"I'm telling you…… I've never heard of this bitch!" Heihachi said.
"Liar!" Jin had thrown him against the wall, though this was no ordinary wall, it was hollow, it immediately broke down and…… there…… there she was… the once strong Michelle, leader of her tribe…… now so weak… pale……
"Untie her!" Jin growled.
But Heihachi was knocked out…… Jin had thrown him against the wall so hard…… he just lay there; so Jin made his way over to Michelle, and untied her, and helped hold her up……
"Jin?" came a voice. It was Julia. "Mother! Oh mother! What has that bastard Heihachi done to you?" she wailed, "I- I'll kill him!" she said disbelief in her eyes at how weak her mother was now…
"J-j-julia……" said Michelle in a faint voice.
"Get her out of here!" yelled Jin. The temple was now rumbling… it was falling to bits…
"Jin! Where are you going?" she yelled back, for now she could see Jin running to get someone, "I'll be back! "he shouted.
Moments later… outside the temple…
"Oh Jin! Thank God you're all right!" she said hugging him and giving him a small peck on his lips.
"I just had to get this……" he said, referring to the limp body he had been dragging, Heihachi.
"The media will definitely want to know about this……" Jin said, as a smile crept onto his lips.
---- Thankyou my friend…… I just wish you had been here…---- thought Jin silently.
"Let's go…… to the Mishima Manor… "he said, " They'll tend to yours and your mother's needs…" he said.
Mishima Manor…. 23:45…
"The whole world by now knows of Heihachi's evil desires……" said Julia, for the police had just escorted Heihachi to the station for questioning and also earned a great many thanks from detective Lei Wulong.
"Jin, I don't know how to thank you enough…" she was cutoff.
"Then marry me…" he finished.
They were both silent for a few minutes, each of them looking into each others eyes, each of them desiring the other, until something snapped.
"Jin… are you…… are you sure about this?" she faltered.
"Yes! Aren't you? We can get straight to everything immediately, I can arrange everything…… it'll all be perfect…" he was cutoff.
"Jin, as much as I'd love to, I- I-I- I can't……" she said, her eyes now glassy, "I have to look after my mother…" she said.
"We can look after her together……" he said.
"No, Jin, you don't understand…… she has always loathed the Mishimas, all her life, ever since Heihachi tried to claim our land…… I don't wish go against her wishes…… and now I have to focus on reforesting our land…… though… I will always love you, you will always be in my heart……" she cleared her throat, "I'll be leaving for Arizona tomorrow…… Goodnight Jin…… I'm so sorry…… I'm sorry for everything……… for denying you the chance also of having another relationship with anyone else……" she concluded, and ran off…… her eyes filled with tears……
"Julia…… why……" he said softly…… his eyes now glassy……
He ran upstairs to his room, slamming the door in the process, and sitting on his bed…… tears pouring down his face profusely, "Ling…… I need to speak to you now……" he said, but his eye had caught a glint of something on his desk.
It was a letter, with his name on the front, written in cursive handwriting……… and was signed at the back "Love Ling" in the same cursive handwriting, in gold. Next to it was a package, wrapped neatly, and a birthday card near it. He cautiously opened the letter……
To Jin, the only man I will ever truly love……
Yes, you must be wondering as to why I'm writing this letter to you…… I couldn't bear to face you…… the pain was too much…… Jin, do you remember the first time you met Queen of Iron Fist? It was on the 30th of August 5:45pm …… I know, and remember because I was online, at the same time, and guess what? I met you… the person whom I would be meeting in a few days…… little did I know you would change my life…… We hated each other in the beginning, but just see how a few days, could bring two totally different people together?
Remember this?
From every human being there rises a light
That reaches straight to heaven, and when
Two souls that are destined to be together find
Each other, the streams of light flow together
And a single brighter light goes forth from that
United being…
Yes, Jin, it was me…… I was "Queen of Iron Fist" but you must've figured it out by now…… and yes, I was the one who warned you of Heihachi's evil intentions. Ever since that day you saved me from Trevor and his gang, something stirred on the inside of me, first, it was just a crush… but it evolved into something else…. I don't know…… every time I saw you; my heart would do a somersault …. And then that crush evolved into something that I couldn't forgive my self for……
Yes Jin, Love……… It was love that I felt towards you… I couldn't help it… Jealousy burned on the inside of me at seeing my one love with my best friend Julia…… From that day onwards I pined away, never to smile again…… I swore that I'd never hurt Julia's feelings because she had finally found you… the person who would help her out her misery; I hope you succeed in destroying that monster who killed your mother, and finding Julia's mother.
And now you see why I was behaving rather awkwardly these past few days… I will always remember that night at the party where we shared that passionate kiss. Once again, it was me, it was Clara who had persuaded me to go…… she poor thing dealt with my constant complaining and tantrums… she dressed me up. Got me ready for the party…
I was on the verge of committing suicide myself if it wasn't for her, her courage. It was on that very day you had told me about you proposing to Julia…… I was distraught… I didn't know what to do… I felt taking my own life away would bring me peace……
I'm in the plane right now, to begin my new life… please don't contact my parents…… I don't want them to worry…… and don't come looking for me…… at all…… Just forget about me and begin your new life with the woman you love…… Julia Chang.
I almost forgot…… my wishes go to you, Be-lated Happy Birthday! Do open the gift… I got it at the last moment…
Once again… I love you, my dear Jin.
Sayonara,
Ling Xiaoyu.
"Oh Ling… I-I-I didn't know…… I was so blind… when real love was standing right in front of me…… I ignored you…… I'm…I'm so very sorry… I'm the cause of all your misery… "he said, tears streaming down his face.
He carefully opened the gift; in it was a locket, he opened it, and there he found a picture of him, his mother and…… no… it couldn't be… his fath- Kazuya… on the other side was a picture of Julia. "I will find you ling… no matter where you are… I will find you; I just hope you can forgive me for my folly." Another note fluttered down. Jin picked it up, it said "PS- Jin, I know you have this thing for your father, that hate…… but please forget that… I managed to merge both those pictures… the one Heihachi gave me of your dad, and the one you had. The other is for the woman you love: Julia."
"No, Ling, no more…… you're the one I love…… and I will find you……" saying that, he removed Julia's picture, and left it empty, "I'll put your picture in when I find you…… my love……" he said softly.
Back in the plane…
Xiaoyu was looking at a picture she had taken of Jin, her and Panda. "This really is for the best Jin…… but for now… I cannot see you… anymore..." she said sadly.
The
End…..
... For now…
