Author's Notes: Alright, so I wrote this fic like last year and hadn't had the chance to properly upload it here yet cuz stuff *nods* Chappy two is still being written so yeah, give me a few days or a week? Some points I need to give out here so you guys would understand.

Very AU, no tournaments but, both Lee and Kazuya still learn their fighting styles. Heihachi has a bit of a soft side here but, in later chapters we'll get to the point in where he's in usual un-OOC personality and be the sadistic and cold Father he is. Lee is 5 whilst Kazuya is 8 here, so 3 year age difference for reasons.

Also, I don't know why the hell I used a Japanese romanizing translation here instead of just putting it in English and just making it look as though Lee is just ya know.. Having difficulties in speaking Japanese but hell no, I wanted to portray here that he's HORRIBLE in Japanese and just.. I don't know ya guys.. I don't know.. QAQ


The Mishima Bloodline

Chapter 00 : First Family Meeting

"Kareha Kanpekidesu. -Yes, he's perfect.–" Heihachi said to the man beside him, a nod of approval from his head as he stared down at the young boy with silver coloured hair. The man with the adoption papers smiled in glee, him now leading Heihachi to his office so they could further discuss the papers for Lee's new home and parent. Though, it was obvious that Lee's new Father wasn't alone and had actually brought his own real son to the orphanage. The older didn't much care for bringing the older boy with him "Kazuya, suru atarashii ani to isshoo ni koko de, shibaraku taizai. - Kazuya, stay with you new brother here for a while.-" The man told his raven-headed son. The boy nodded in affirmation to his Father's words, not saying anything to oppose and just simply obeying him.

The silverette stared at his new older brother in awe, he had such a tough exterior and a firm serious expression plastered onto his face. The little boy gulped in nervousness not quite sure if the other would like him or not "Nee, anata. -Hey, you.- " Kazuya had suddenly broken down the silence between them when he turned around and faced Lee with his usual cool, straight serious and somewhat haughty aura in him. Lee gulped down his own saliva, legs shivering a little as he stared back at his new adoptive brother.

"Ha-hai? -Ye-yes?-" He stuttered out a reply, not quite sure how he should be talking to the older – he wasn't even sure if his Japanese was correct! Lee hadn't been able to properly learn the language yet so, he was always lost or aloof whenever someone was trying to engage in a conversation with him.

Kazuya scanned him from head to toe, looking as though he was confirming the other's appearance whether he was brother and Mishima material for the raven or not. The older stepped in closer, eyes boring into the silverette as their faces were only a few inches apart from each other. Lee shivered in both discomfort and a bit of fear, he didn't know how to react but, just to make sure he did nothing in response and just let the other do as he pleases.

Moments, seconds and minutes passed as Kazuya examined his new adoptive brother.

"Heh." Was the small sound that escaped from his lips before the raven gave out a grin directed to Lee, he looked satisfied, amused – and the very image of Kazuya smiling at him like that made the little boy's chest beat a little hard for him, cheeks colouring up into a light shade of pink "Dareka watashino yokoni suru koto ga deki masu toshite watashimasu. Watashi wa anata ga suki! - You pass as being someone who can be beside me! I like you!- " The ravenette suddenly said though, Lee wasn't actually one to fully comprehend his words but he did know what the word 'suki' meant and that alone - along with that amazingly breathtaking smile of the other made the silverette smile in relief.

Lee felt tears form in his silvery hues so he had to look down and rub them away, a little sniffle noise escaping from time to time. Kazuya on the other hand suddenly grew worried, di he intimidate or scare the other? one hand comforting the younger " Nee, naniga machigatte iru ka? - Hey, what's wrong? - " The raven haired boy asked, tilting his head to the side when he had seen the other suddenly get teary eyed.

Lee on the other hand, knew his new brother was worried about him so he shook his head quite violently – trying his best to wipe away his tears and look his happiest for the other " Shia.. Shiawase.. – Ha.. Happy.. - " The silverette tried hard to stutter out his feelings, he of course had learned some Japanese over for some time now so the small words like those were the only ones he could mutter out for his brother at the moment.

Another big yet, silly grin formed on Kazuya's lips as he then patted the younger's shoulder and one hand ruffled the silvery coloured hair " Mochiron, anata ha ! – of course you are ! –" Kazuya replied back, from the small words and little sentences his new brother made, he knew for sure that Japanese language wasn't his forte just yet but, that would change over time and the raven was more than happy and willing to help out his new little brother anyways.

"Watashino kazuko no ichibu ni suru tsumori da ! Dakara anata yori shiawasede aru! – You're going to be a part of my family! So you better be happy!- " He stated off proudly not really caring much if the other wasn't able to understand him fully well for his fluent Japanese. Lee on the other hand just smiled and nodded, he wasn't able to fully grasp the older's words but he knew for a fact that he was happy with Lee.

After that, Kazuya's eyes widened a little in realization " Namae ha? –What's your name? – " The Mishima boy asked his adoptive brother, though it sounded as though he demanded an answer instead. The silverette blinked a few times in confusion before he tilted his head not exactly getting the other's words. Kazuya huffed a little in annoyance, not really liking that he couldn't be understood.

"Namae! – Name! - " The young heir said off, getting impatient as he demanded his now little brother's name "Namae! Namae ha! – Name! What's your name! - " A groan escaped the raven's lips as Lee stirred a little, getting frightened by the older's sudden outburst. Kazuya shook his head in dismay, how was he supposed to communicate now? Though, a sudden thought struct him and he smirked in delight looking back at the silverette.

"Kazuya!" The boy said in much confidence as he pointed to himself, a haughty smirk plastered on his lips "Kazuya! Watashino namae ha Kazuya! – Kazuya! My name is Kazuya! - " He continued off, as he watched the other boy smile, as he now understood what the raven wanted.

" Lee! Lee! " The silverette then, replied back pointing to his own chest this time as he introduced himself, though not by his first name. A grin of satisfaction formed on the raven's lips, mission accomplished in getting a good and steady relationship with his new younger brother.

The two could've gone for hours with their time, the language barrier not becoming much of a hindrance to them. But, it came to a time where Heihachi had come back with the man he was with before, adoption paper now finished and good for Lee to come home and live with them.

Both Kazuya and Lee's attention quickly drawed back to the door that had the view of their Father. The man had a satisfied smirk on his lips, delighted and very well amused that the two had actually got along.

" Kazuya, Lee to nakayoku deshi ta ka? – Kazuya, did you get along well with Lee? – " Heihachi asked his son in interest as the two boys well, more like the ravenette dragging Lee by his hand to their Father.

"Hai otousan! Kareha hijiyouni omoshiroi desu! – Yes Father! He is very amusing! - " Kazuya replied back to the older Mishima.

Their Father nodded in delight, both hands now patting his two son's head " Hijiyouni yoi, watashiha anata no ryouhouno hokori ni omoi masu. - Very good, I'am proud of you both. – " He continued off with a smile of satisfaction before letting go and ushering his children out of the orphanage " Subete ika se te hoomu ima kuru. - Come, let us all go home now. – "
