Here I am! This is my new fanfic, the first about the finder series! I love the manga since a long time ago and wanted to write this, hope you like it.

"Mama, how was my papa?"

The first time Mei Lin asked this question, Fei Long turned into stone. Seven years have passed since he stopped seeing that man. Seven years since the treason was burned in his skin… seven years loving him like crazy and getting no reward… except for a beautiful baby girl. The little one thought his silence was a "I don't want to talk about that" and let go of the issue, letting her mother finish brushing her hair. They were travelling to Japan that same day.

"Is there another thing you want to bring?" inquired the Chinese mafia boss, trying to hide his worry. Mei Lin was a secret that no even is most trusted men knew, to avoid another hurting her. Just him and Tao knew. He could be a little overprotective, but she was mama's girl and he would keep her save even if it meant a war with other mafias.

"No, it's alright, mama" answered the girl, getting up and dressed to travel. She wasn't too much attached to material things, like any other little kid, but the contrary. Too mature for her age, she was only attached to her mother. That was the reason she tried to be the best possible heir to the Baishe.

"Alright… I… will be back in a second, there is something I need to do" Fei Long got out of the room quickly. He knew that sooner or later his little girl would ask him something like that, but he didn't expect to be caught by surprise… about to fight face to face with that man. Asami Ryuichi. The one that left him alone, heartbroken, in prison and… pregnant with one baby that he would raise alone. He let himself cry because of the memories that came to him.

-Flashback-

Fei Long was just out of prison after completing his jail time. Now he was standing in a street after so many years locked up, in front of a pretty house with children playthings in the front yard. He looked at the paper again, the one the doctor from the prison gave to him with the direction of the foster home she has taken his daughter some years ago. She was always so good with him, specially after learning about his condition.

"Poor thing!" murmured her with pity. "Bad luck to lose your father and be arrested the same day" he was about to tell her that he didn't need her pity when he put a caressing hand on his belly, that was just starting to expand. "Sundays I am a volunteer in some foster homes and I can take it to one where you can pick her up when you get out"

"Are you sure?" asked the beautiful dragon. He wasn't going to lose his baby, no matter what he would keep her by his side. And he would rebuilt Baishe for her.

"Of course, let me talk with some friend and she will take care of it with pleasure" she smiled. Time passed and the day he was going out he went to see her. The woman gave him the paper and sighed, somewhat worried. "I guess you aren't quitting the life of a criminal"

"I will do what I have to" he answered, taking the note and leaving. And here he was, doubting if he should see his own daughter. But his body made the decision for him and he found himself crossing the street towards the house. He got to the door and knocked carefully. He was greeted by a woman with brown hair and a child in her arms.

"Can I help you?" she asked confused.

"Good afternoon… I… am Liu Mei Lin's mother" he introduced himself, a little surprise that the woman didn't said something about his gender. On contrary, she was evaluating him with her eyes. "I want to see her, I just got out of prison…"

"Of course, get in" she said, letting him pass. Thanks to her friend the doctor her house was full of convict's children. In many cases the mothers didn't even appear after they were let out. Fei Long was the third or fourth that did. And even so, she didn't trust them. "I was told that you were from Baishe"

"My father was the leader" answered Fei Long. After all, the people knew already of his heritage. And he was feeling nervous, what if the girl looked like Asami? He didn't think he could live with that.

"I see…" she said, opening a door to the playroom. "Before you entered, let me tell you a few things. She is… special. I has her since you gave birth and she never called me mom or anything of the sort, just like if she knew I wasn't her mother and that you will came for her. And she isn't really a loving child"

"I can tell"

"Mey Lin!" she called in loud voice, making the kids stop playing to see her… except for one. "someone came to see you" the girls that didn't stopped playing got up and turned around to see the person that came for her. Fei Long released a breath, his baby was his splitting image. "It's your mother"

"Mei Lin" Baishe's heir kneeled in front of her. The little one frowned and explored him, inspiring deeply. She remembered that smell.

"Mama" she finally said before hugging him in the neck. After spending some time playing with his little one, he got up to the woman's office to sign some papers before he could take her to one of the safe houses he still owned.

"I hope you have enough saved to support her until you find a job" Fei Long nodded, but the caretaker didn't took her stern look from him. "I'm serious, darling, raising a child is not easy, more if you are doing that alone. What happened to the fahter?"

"He was a Japanese yakuza who just used me, he didn't even know he has a daughter"

"Even worse" the woman sighed and sat down. "But I know a fighter when I see her. You will find a way to give everything to your daughter. It's not going to be easy, before now you were daddy's little mafia princess, that had everything and now…"

"Thanks for everything, it's time for us to leave" interrupted her Fei Long, not in the mood for a lecture. He looked at the papers, thinking he would need to find a way for them to disappear. He got out of the room and saw Mei Lin ready. "You want to leave now?"

"I want to be with mama" she nodded. The man smiled and, taking her hand, walked away. Once in the safe house the Baishe heir prepared a room for his little one and searched for the emergency money he stored. It was enough to feed him and his baby for a long time. "What are we going to do now, mama?" asked the girl when he put her to bed.

"We are going to rebuild our heritage" he promised. That was the beginning of Baishe's reborn under the command of the beautiful dragon.

-End of the flashback-

They lived working hard, at least him, for the sake of his daughter. The little girl was all to him and she knew it, but she was curious about her father. She wanted to know why did he leave such a person as her mother. But that could wait, at least until she was ready to confront him. For now she was just training shot and economics, advanced for a child her age, but she was a little genius that helped her mom in everything, including doing drastic things he would never know.

"Mama? Are we going yet?" she asked, stepping out of the room. Her mother whipped the tears away quickly and nodded, entering into leader pose again. But his little genius was not fooled by that, she knew he was hurting.

"Yes, sweetie, let's go find the CD" she nodded and went to her usual hiding spot in their travels. Fei Long just sighed, sorry that he missed her early childhood. Maybe if he was there he would be able to understand her more. Once in Japan the beautiful dragon got himself busy trying to find the CD. Mei Lin waited for him in her spot. First she saw a very naked young man being dragged from the place her mother was, then Fei Long himself got out, rubbing his chest… or the bullet scar on it.

"Does it hurts, mama?" she questioned. He shook his head and ordered her to leave, that maybe they were going to be attacked soon, but she wasn't going to do so. She will stay by her mom's side. She grabbed her pistol and waited. The outcome was not a big deal. Yes, it was the first time she saw a massacre, but she was cold blooded by nature, so it was nothing to her. The seven years old waited and by accident saw a tall man in a suit with a gun himself.

"Asami-sama, we found the boy" informed one of his subordinates. He, without noticing her, went to the cage where the prisoner was. She couldn't see anything else because her mom found her and dragged her away. Why? She had theories.

"Are you hurt?" he asked once they were on an adjacent building. She shook her head and then heart a fight down on the floor. Her mother's face twisted into some kind of pained mock and grabbed his gun, shutting before thinking. Mei Lin couldn't help but feel surprised, Fei Long never did something like that.

"Mama?" she asked, seeing the man from before and the Chinese mafia boss look at each other. Asami was serious, but Fei Long was completely enraged inside… and hurt. Then something clicked into her mind to think… that the man was her father. Her very own father that left her mom to rot in jail and her in an orphanage. "Mama, is that guy my dad?"

"Mei Lin…"

"Don't lie to me" the little Baishe princess looked at the man with a serious face. He wasn't able to lie to her face with that expression and just nodded, letting some tears out. Mei Lin realized that her mother still loved that bastard that left them and his heart was hurting. A wave of passionate hate erupted in her when she remembered how he was protecting that young man… that whore from her mom. "Who was the hostage?"

"Takaba Akihito" answered Fei Long, knowing full well that his daughter would understand. "Just a plain photographer"

"Un… understood" she gritted her teeth more. A son of the mafia she could understand, alliances meant money and power, but to chose a low life camera man over her beloved mother… that was stepping over the line. What did that stupid slut had that her mom doesn't? Not even the beauty. "You are still much more than that man whore, mama"

"Thanks, baby" he felt better, but this was far from over and both of them knew it. Mei Lin wasn't going to forgive that man for hurting her only family and Fei Long wouldn't either for using him and then not worry about his daughter.

"What are we going to do with him?"

"Nothing for now…"

-Some time later-

Her mom returned hurt and with that man's whore. Mei Lin gritted her teeth and grabbed her gun, ready to shot the young brunette to death. It would be the best, maybe she was being more merciful with him than any, but being disposed of was the thing home wreckers deserved. She pointed her gun at him, but a hand on her shoulder stopped her.

"Mei Lin-sama"

"Tao, let me go, I need to do this for my mom" she said. The other boy shook his head and signaled the hallway.

"Go to Fei Long-sama, Mei Lin-sama, he wouldn't want to punish his daughter" she gritted her teeth and went to her mother to prepare for bed. Unbelievable as it might sound, the dragon of the Baishe loved to brush his daughter's hair and put her to bed. The seven years old didn't oppose, after all the man was busy nearly all day and didn't get to spent as much time together as they used to before Baishe was rebuild.

"Mama?" she asked, getting inside. "Are you feeling better?"

"Yes, this wound is nothing to me" Fei Long answered, even if the injury hurt like hell. He had worst kind of pains, like labor… and heartbreak. But now he had the opportunity to face that man in his territory, because Asami Ryuichi always comes to get what it's his (except for his child). And now he will make sure to make him his.

"You sure, you were pretty bad"

"Of course, my little jade, come here and make me some company, would you?" he smiled, extending his hand. "and bring the brush, you need to comb your hair"

"You always do it, mama" she did what she was told. "Would you want some stir fry with oyster sauce?"

"Hum… what do you think about the prisoner?" he changed the theme. The girl looked at him in surprise and blinked, trying to appear innocent. "Don't lie to me, I'm sure you have seen him. Mother knows everything, you know"

"Mama, sometimes you scared me" she sat down in the bed and let the dragon brush her hair while telling him what she did. "Mama, why did that man left us for scum like him? I mean… he is not even as beautiful as you"

"Thanks, baby, but I can't really answer that. You will understand when you are older"

"You always say I have the mind of a thousand years old man" she answered, showing him that he should shut up at some points. "How much older do you want me to be?"

"Until your heights reach your mental age, dear" answered the mother with a stern face. "You didn't answer me, what do you think about him?"

"He is a rat that didn't know where he was getting into and have no bone for this life. You and me did, he wouldn't hurt a fly" she growled. How could her father prefer some good for nothing brat to the family he had in them? Well, that didn't really matters. What mattered was that the man hurt her mother and she will make him pay. "Why did you felt in love with him in the first place? Talking about horrible tastes in men…"

"You are too young for that!" screamed Fei Long, his face reddened, but after that he laughed and, kissing her head, he started talking. It was nice to have a normal conversation every now and then, with his little and too mature for her age baby.

-In Macao-

Mei Lin accompanied her mother to the casino boat, even if it was no place for minors. She wasn't going to play anyway. She stayed in her room until she noticed something weird. Grabbing her gun, she shot two men in suits that definitely didn't work for her mother. She pointed down at them and shot, hitting dead center on their heads. A third one approached his fallen comrades without seeing her until her gun was pointed to his head.

"What are you doing here?" she asked in chinese. When the man answered in Russian, she mentally cursed. It was Mikhail Arbatov, the leader of the Russian mafia. The man that went to visit her mother with impure thoughts some time ago. She changed the language (she knew at least five). "What are you doing here? Don't lie to me"

"We… came for the deed" he spat out. Mei Lin growled, she was going to kill all the Russian on board. She was her mother's daughter after all, and he used to work as an assassin. The girl ran around, taking out the Russians.

When Mikhail finally arrived after pursuing Asami, he found his men terrified and in a definitely low number than before. The blond saw the men, terrified of the invisible assassin that attacked them. As soon as he heard their history, both Yuri and Mikhail were uncommonly synchronized, pissed and intrigued.

"Apparently Baishe has a new assassin, one that is very good" said the old man, taking the dragon jade pendant that their men very capable of retrieving, the only piece of evidence left from the killer.

"I wonder if we could buy him like Fei Long did… hum, if he uses a pendant in the form of a Baishe tattoo maybe not." Then something distracted the young mafia boss. "How should we name him? How about… the Jade Dragon?"

Mei Lin, for her part, returned to her mother. Fei Long had the deed in his hands when he returned to the room where his daughter was drinking some tea after disposing of the weapon on the sea, not wanting anyone to find out what she did. But his keen eyes of mother caught even the most little details.

"Sweetie, what happened to your pendant?"

"It must have fallen somewhere" she answered, trying not to give herself up. The older Liu sighed and took her hand. They were returning to Hong Kong. She noticed something was bothering him more than before… and the red spots on his clothes.

"What happened, mama?"

"I killed Yo… he was a traitor"
