The new member

The person next to Jin was a beautiful girl with olive skin and long black hair worn in a ponytail secured with a pink scrunchie. A pair of glasses and a black teardrop bindi adorned her face, together with the bright smile she wore. A white backpack was slung on her right shoulder, going well with the pink frilly blouse she wore, together with the red digital watch she wore on her right wrist. Nina then noticed a large luggage bag at her feet."Hi there, I'm Shasha and I would like to join the tournament," she said with a smile. She spoke good English but had a slight accent that Nina has never heard of. "I'm from Malaysia.""Oh I see," Nina nodded. "I've heard about your country before but have never been to it. I'm Nina Williams""You should come one day, though," Shasha said. "It has many beaches, perfect for tanning.""Enough chit-chat there," Jin said, crossing his arms with a scowl. "Nina, this girl wants to join the tournament.""Yes sir," Nina said, going over to her desk. "I'll get the necessary documents.""She has already signed those documents," Jin said, much to her surprise. "Search for a place for her to stay since she only just arrived in Japan today.""Oh, it's okay I'll stay at a nearby hotel," Shasha insisted. "I do have some cash on me.""Nina," Jin said, making her groan inwardly. "You live alone, don't you""Yes sir," Nina sighed, knowing where this is going. "Why do you ask?""Well she can stay at your place for a while," Jin said with the usual cold expression. "You obviously will have a few extra rooms in that mansion of yours.""Okay, Jin," sighed Nina. "Come to my house, Shasha.""But I can find a hotel on my own," Shasha protested. "I saw one just in front of the Zaibatsu.""No buts, Shasha," Jin said shortly. "It will be easier if you stayed with Nina.""Okay sir," Shasha sighed meekly. "Whatever you say."She went with Nina to the parking lot, following her to the Lamborghini at her heels. She put her baggage in the boot, together with the things that Nina had just bought, and got into the backseat of the car. "Your car is amazing!" Shasha couldn't help but say.Nina said nothing and started to drive. Shasha understood that she didn't wanna talk so she kept quite and looked out the window. She soon got bored of the silent long ride and opened her backpack to take out a black case with a silver circle on it. She zipped it open, revealing a metallic blue PSP in it. Shasha immediately turned it on and started playing her favourite fighting game on it. It was noisy, causing Nina to turn around and look at her when she stoped at a red light."What are you doing?" Nina asked, much to Shasha's surprise."Um..." said Shasha, nervously. "I'm playing a game on my PSP.""What game are you playing?" Nina asked again. "Street Fighter Alpha 3," Shasha gulped, not knowing how she'd react. "I really like this game. My favourite character is Chun Li.""What is your fighting style?" Nina asked, stepping on the accelerator when the traffic light turned green."A mix of Aikido and Judo," Shasha answered, much to Nina's surprise. "What is your fighting style, Miss Williams?" "I'll tell you later," Nina said, her eyes fixated on the road. "Is this your first time in Japan?""Yes, Miss Williams," Shasha answered, surprised at the sudden interest from Nina. "I came here to join the tournament."After that Nina said nothing and Shasha continued to play her game on her PSP with a lower sound volume. She had a hard time defeating the boss, M. Bison, but at last she defeated him and was very happy about it."Yes!" Shasha cheered, forgetting that she was in Nina's car. "How old are you?" Nina asked suddenly."I'm eighteen this year, Miss Williams," Shasha said, turning slightly scared again. "How old are you?""Will you believe me if I told you that I'm 45 this year?" Nina reply with a slight smirk. "Are you for real, Miss Williams?" Shasha asked, astonished. "You are older than my mother! But you look like you are in your twenties!""I was frozen in age when I was forced into cyrosleep about 20 years ago," Nina shrugged. "I only woke up about 4 years ago without any memory.""How did you gain your memories back?""It all came back to me when my sister took me to my father's grave. She got into cryosleep too but woke up without any side effects."Nina was silent after that and Shasha didn't dare to say anything more. The rest of the drive was silent, save for the sounds of the city at night. Shasha put her PSP away and looked out the windows to see the picturesque streets of Tokyo. She couldn't help but admire them. Finally, after what seemed like forever, Nina's mansion came to view. It was painted a light purple, with black framed windows. It was gorgeous. Shasha couldn't take her eyes off of it. She could hardly believe that she was gonna be staying in such a huge mansion. Nina entered the driveway of her house and entered the garage. They took out their stuff and entered the house through the garage entrance that led to the living room of the house. The living room was ornately furnished with light purple and white furniture. Shasha stared at all of them with an open mouth. It was very beautiful. Shasha thought that Nina had wonderful taste. Nina was a little annoyed with the look on Shasha's face but carried on to bring the things she had bought earlier that day. "Your room is this way," Nina said leading Shasha up the stairs. She stopped in front of a door and turned to Shasha, pointing a hand at it. "Okay, now this is your room. There's an attached bathroom, a dresser, a dressing table and obviously a bed. Go unpack""Okay," Shasha smiled, bowing slightly. "Thanks, I'll go freshen up." She entered her new room and laid her baggage on the floor next to the dresser. She finally took a nice hot shower after the long seven-hour flight that she had.
