Chapter 5

 

Jin whimpered pitifully as she felt her body coming back from her deep sleep. Her entire body felt like a giant sore, and it hurt to even breathe. She was lying on her back, staring at the ceiling without much ability to move. Taking a deep breath, she realized that the room was heated up. Sweat trickled down the sides of her temples, plastered her shirt to her back, and made her feel sticky and drained. Doing her top best to sit up, she felt her whole world sway to one side, making her come with it. She fell off the bed with such a thump that it made her whole body protest in pain. But she couldn't do anything about it. Her movements were slowed as well as her mind.

 

Her throat felt as dry as sand and her skin felt extremely hot. The air was stuffy and thick, like a dark mantle. Were they trying to suffocate her?! Groaning, she miserably dragged her body to the door. By the time she had actually got there, sweat was pouring off of her like a water fall. When she finally gathered what little strength she had, she started slapping her hand against the door weakly.

 

“Help….” Her voice came out like little more than a squeak. “Someone…”

 

When nobody had answered the door, Jin then convinced herself that no one would come to save her. She began to weep pitifully, wanting the pain and torment to just go away so that she could drift slowly into a deep sleep that she wished she'd never wake up from… Drawing in air rapidly, she tried again to stand up on her feet, but it only caused her to swerve to the side next to the bed. At last, she just gave up.

 

“I need…water…” She moaned to herself and the empty room, curling into a ball and doing her best to remain immobile. Please… she thought… God…help me…please… Letting her eyes shut, she began to think about her boss and Catherine and her life…

 

Then she was dreaming… or was she? She didn't know, but she was at The G Note again… waiting tables as usual.

 

“Jin!”

 

Turning, Jin saw her fat boss with his hands on his hips.

 

“What are you doing, Jin? You're supposed to be in the kitchen.”

 

“I don't want to go to the kitchen…” She mumbled clearly. “It's too hot! I'm too hot… Why don't you ever turn on the freaking air conditioning?! The customers will probably not come here anymore because you always make it like a damn oven!”

 

“Because, that costs money! The thing you don't have, you lazy woman!” And with that, he went back into the kitchen. Jin smiled, that's how it always was with her and her boss. And she wouldn't have it any other way… Suddenly, she heard someone walking behind her. Spinning around, Jin saw Catherine toddling towards her. For some reason, she had never felt so happy in her life! Laughing out loud, Jin ran towards the other woman and wrapped her arms around her.

 

“Hi, Cathy!”

 

Catherine, stunned by the sudden tackle hug, grunted and did her best to hug the younger woman back.

 

“Uh, hun? You ok? You're never really this happy. Do you have a fever or somethin'?”

 

Jin chuckled. “It's ok. I'm fine now. Nothing too big I can't handle.”

 

Cathy smiled. “Well… don't try too hard. I don't want my little chicky getting hurt…”

 

Jin felt her heart swell with love and happiness. She had always loved Cathy as a grandma/mother. Cathy had been there since she had started working at the G Note and had always made Jin smile one way or another. Closing her eyes and smelling the air around her, Jin stretched and looked to the older woman.

 

“Say…” Jin thought out loud. “Cathy?”

 

But Cathy wasn't there anymore. And neither was the shop. And neither was… well anything. It was all dark and fuzzy like a dark, black hole, making Jin panicky. Suddenly, she began to run as fast as she could, trying to find somewhere or someone in sight. But as she started trucking it, her limbs began to feel as heavy as lead and as if the ground had given way, she began falling.

 

Down, down, down she went into the darkness, unable to scream or stop herself. She tried to scream, but the sound was torn from her lips. She was helpless… like an abandoned child…

 

She was thrust back to reality by a loud, high pitched creak, followed by yelling. Loud, thundering yelling… Every tone and decibel was a painful drumming against her mind, making her cringe. She tried to yell “shut up” but it only came out as a hissing sob. She tried her best to be curled into a tighter ball so that she could make the pounding migraine and soreness of her body recede. Go aawwayy… she thought. Let me sleep.

 

The yelling went on for a very long time and the thumping of feet was added to the chaos, making Jin more and more angry. But before she could really do anything, she

suddenly felt her body being lifted up and carried by strong, large arms. Her whole mind swaying, she fought the nauseating urge to vomit as she was being lifted from one situate to another, but after much turning, the air became cooler somehow and more comforting, so she knew that she was in a different place.

 

Oh well… she thought. If I die, at least I'll die in comfort.

 

Mustering what little strength she had left, she pry her eyes open and looked up at the one who was holding her bridal style. Her vision was slightly blurred so she couldn't really make out who it was. She wanted to know, though, and labored to speak to the person holding her, but her voice had deserted her. As the man took her from hallway through hallway, Jin started to think about what would happen to her in the future, wondering whether or not she would live long enough to see her friends again.

 

A voice from behind the man carrying her reached her ears faintly, suggesting that they were both talking to each other. Tuning in, Jin tried to hear what the other man was saying, but it was in some sort of foreign language that spoke very fast. She gave up on understanding it and waited for the man moving her to respond. When he did, it nearly made her heart stop. It wasn't so much as the language, but it was the tone of voice… that very same voice she knew very well.

 

Rishid.

 

She looked up just enough so that she could see his face, but not enough to have him feel her moving. It was him. Feeling her chest tighten up with fear, anger and betrayal, she wanted nothing more than to slap Rishid in the face and give him an earful. But she thought it over for a minute and figured that it wouldn't be such a good idea, seeing as she was being held captive by a lot of guys who could so easily catch her. Instead, she fashioned a slight plan in mind. One that would at least get her out of this man's arms…

 

Throwing caution to the wind, Jin looked up at Rishid with half lidded eyes and made her voice small as she spoke.

 

“R…Rishi-kun…?”

 

Surprised to see her awake, Rishid nearly tripped over his own feet and gawked down at the woman in his arms. He swallowed and made a slight “yes” reply that seemed almost unfinished. Jin smiled warmly back up at him, opened her mouth and said:

 

“BITCH!!!!”

 

WHAM!!!

 

---

 

The punch to the face was a total stun. Dazed, Rishid accidentally dropped Jin to the ground, making her land with a resounding `oof'. He held his now bruising eye that hurt like crazy and groaned out loud. For a woman, especially one who looked half dead, she was pretty strong.

 

Mumbling a curse, Rishid looked out his good eye at the now inactive Jin, who lay splayed out on the ground. In a high panic, he leaned down to picked her up in fear that she had broken something, but she quickly swatted his hand away with unintentional accuracy.

 

“Get…away from me…” Her voice came out hoarse and dry as she began heaving herself on her own two feet. “Leave me alone…”

 

Ignoring her protests, Rishid quickly slugged over his shoulder the now flailing woman, who was doing everything and anything in her power to get out of Rishid's strong grip. She slapped him, bit him and even scratched with her razor sharp nails causing Rishid to shield his eyes with only one hand. When the little dispute was finally over and Rishid had gotten to a cooler room, he literally threw the thrashing female down onto the bed that was closest to the wall.

 

After recovering a little from the sudden change in height, Jin glared up at him with such defiant eyes that it made Rishid squirm on the inside. Clearing his throat, he tried to keep his voice leveled and calm.

 

“Forgive me, Miss Jin. The room you had been held in was being directly hit by the sun. It's much cooler here. You will be fine and no one will disturb you so long as you stay in this room. I will have someone bring food and water to you momentarily.” He turned to walk away, but was stopped by Jin's words.

 

“So what's this all about…huh?”

 

He swallowed and turned around uneasily, grateful that his cloak came down over his eyes and partially his face.

 

“Pardon?”

 

“You work for that guy!?” She bellowed her voice cracking. “How could you do such a thing!? So the only reason why you got to know me was so you could lure me into thinking you were a good guy? And then you're going to give me to this… Malik dude!? Are you INSANE!?”

 

Rishid avoided Jin's betrayed eyes and looked away.

 

“I have no intention of giving you to Master Malik.”

 

“Then let me go!”

 

The voice surprisingly sounded more like a pleading child rather than an angry young woman. Glancing over to her, Rishid realized the tears and fear forming in her eyes, making her look more and more helpless… His heart felt heavy as lead to see such a beautiful woman in pain…

 

Sighing, he shook his head slowly. “I cannot do that, Ms. Jin. Forgive me, but I must be going. I have duties to attend to and I cannot be late.”

 

Just as he turned around again, he realized that the two Suzuka brothers were standing in the door way, smirking maliciously. They walked into the room one by one, following each other in unison.

 

“Hey, hey. What's up, you two? Havin' a little one on one chat with the merchandise, eh, Rishi-kun?”

 

The two laughed mockingly, making Rishid's and Jin's temper flare.

 

“I am NOT merchandise, you filthy dogs!” Her voice came out less intimidating than she had hoped to, only making the brothers laugh harder.

 

“Really now? Well aren't you a big girl.” One of the brothers advanced toward her slowly, followed eerily by the other.

 

“Yeah. Why don't you come hang with us for a bit? Stretch out, maybe? You must be so bored in here…”

 

Rishid stood like a barricade between the two brothers and Jin. He looked down at the two men with such ferocity it made them both stop in their tracks.

 

“Master Malik has given me permission to take care of the girl. You too are not needed.”

 

This only made the two guys grin.

 

“You hear that, Soshi?” Haru laughed. “We're not needed.”

 

“I say, Haru. Being told that from Master Malik's little pet makes me kinda mad. Move aside, Rishid.” Soshi moved to walk around him. “Malik never said we couldn't share.”

 

Before the two could get any closer, Rishid's are whipped out and pummeled Soshi to the floor in under a second. Rubbing his sore and smarting jaw, he grimaced and gave a death glare to Rishid.

 

“Dammit, you asshole!! What was that for!?”

 

The other man snickered. “Looks like Master Malik's best servant wants the prize to himself!” Haru chuckled out loud as Soshi stood up defeated. “Hahaha! Well, I guess you deserve it seeing as you found it first. Though it is a shame… wasted on someone like you.”

 

Rishid's fists couldn't have gotten any more tighter as the two men started to walk out of the room.

 

“Well, see ya round, Scrooge. Have fun with your new toy.”

 

And with that, they both exited the room without hesitation. Rishid felt his heart beating quickly and harder as his resentment began to grow for the two imbeciles. If only he could have held them out a window, just to hear them scream. He'd be the one laughing then…

 

Shaking it off the menacing thoughts, he looked back to Jin and froze. She was crying. Without making a sound, the girl was letting the clear droplets stream down her cheeks unhindered while her eyes were closed. Unable to say or do anything, Rishid just stared on at the girl with the utmost sympathy. She must have been so afraid and so confused about everything going on…

 

“Jin…?”

 

The girl simply glared up at Rishid, her green eyes boring into his mind.

 

“What?”

 

He wanted to say something to comfort her, anything that would make her stop crying. But nothing came out of his mouth. Finally, he just shook his head and walked out the door, closing it then locking it with a special key he had received.

Jin was staring out the window of the room she was trapped in. She didn't know what time it was, but she could make a rough estimate judging by the darkening sky. The first stars were starting to peek out and twinkle in the night, lighting it up with a dazzling show. That was a good thing, at least, she thought to herself. She had long since given up banging on the door and yelling for help. She knew it was pointless and in vain. Pretty soon, she started to not care at all whether she would be able to get out of the place or not. No one would come for her… no one probably cared.

 

She only wished that she could have seen The G Note one last time. She didn't care if her boss would swear at her or push her around too much. Just the sound of his voice would have made Jin's heart burst with joy. And Cathy, too. She would have made things all better by saying “Aww, you'll be alright” or “Take it like a man!”

 

Jin laughed at the thought, wiping away a single tear. No, she kept thinking to herself. You have to stay strong. You'll get out of here someday… Glancing over at the door she wanted nothing more than to be on the other side. Sighing, she let her hands run through her hair, suddenly feeling a solid object lodged into it. Slowly, she removed it and realized what it was.

 

It was one of her hair pins. It had probably been stuck there the whole time. Looking quickly at the door, Jin hatched an idea. She had only seen it on the movies, but if she used the pin, it might just work on the lock. You never really know until you try, Jin thought to herself. Standing up, Jin bent the pin so that it could fit into the knob's lock. Rushing as quickly as she could towards it, she inserted the pin and jumbled it around a bit. No luck.

 

“Come ooonn…” She said to herself out loud, jiggling it around in different angles. “You can do iiittt…”

 

CLICK!

 

The sound made Jin's heart beat with joy. Taking back the pin, Jin reached for the door knob to meet her freedom. But suddenly, the door swung open so quickly it knocked Jin off of her feet.

 

“Ouch…” She moaned. Looking up, fear struck in her mind.

 

It was a one of Malik's minions.
