Chapter 3

The three entered the huge bedroom. The view was fantastic complete with a Do It Yourself bungee cord attached to one of the windowpanes for optional high-thrill experiences. The wardrobes were enormous so Kazuya could fit in all forty-four purple suits he owned and still have enough room for other clothes as well. The bed was gigantic sized but no one could be sure if there would be enough room with Heihachi in it. The bedside tables had lots of space to put beer, beer and more beer (or lots of brandy-topped cognac glasses in Kazuya's case). The carpet was a nice dark green, which is one big reason Heihachi wanted the room because he likes green… green is good. The wallpaper was white with decorative blue stripes equally spaced out with lacy flowers on them just like Jin would like. It had an en suite bathroom with a big hot tub most likely for Heihachi's use only. There was a lot of space under the bed and on the long sofas so Jin could do one of his favourite hobbies, hunting for dust bunnies. And… the most important thing of all… A complete surround sound stereo system hooked up to a wide plasma flat screen TV.

Jin fell in front of it and bowed "Master!"

Kazuya slapped him across the head and then turned to Heihachi "If this is our room then where's our-"

"Stuff?" Heihachi interrupted while inspecting the long drop from the window "It's in the bathroom."

"Good, I want to unpack." Kazuya said making his way to the bathroom.

Heihachi looked confused "Why are you so eager to unpack? I thought you hated this whole idea."

"I do." Kazuya answered bluntly "I just want to give my suits some air."

"Kazuya and his suits, sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S something… something-X!" Jin chanted. He then yelped as Kazuya threw him a menacing stare and he scrambled under the bed.

"There is no time to unpack anyway." Heihachi mumbled.

Kazuya's head popped out of the bathroom, a wide-eyed expression on his face "What? What do you mean NO time to unpack!?"

Jin started whining "That means no time to relax and watch TV!"

"I know… But I've booked us into a…" Heihachi began but broke of hesitantly.

Kazuya approached him "Booked us into what?"

Heihachi hung his head as if in shame "I thought it would be for the best… Us having horrible relationships with each other…"

"Ooh! We're going to Hello Kitty park!?" Jin squealed. He quietened down when he received concerned and scared looks "Oh…" he cleared his throat "Sorry…"

"Well… I decided to book us a father/son group session… The only time I could get was right after we arrived…" Heihachi admitted almost like he was in trouble.

"A bloody father/son group session!? Why!?" Kazuya cried.

"Me and you could use that kind of therapy and so could you and Jin… Perhaps also me and Jin."

Jin laughed out loud "You've been watching Reality TV again! Haven't you!? This has to be a joke! Therapy with this guy!?" he pointed to Kazuya which made him laugh harder.

"Shut up you git." Kazuya replied.

"Don't call me a git! You doodie head!" Jin retaliated.

Kazuya grabbed him by the throat and prepared to punch him repeatedly "You've gotten awfully brave lately. I'll put you back in your place!"

"Ah! What would mommy say!?" Jin said his usual excuse to escape pain.

Kazuya instantly softened and dropped him on the floor "Stupid Jun…"

"See? This is what I am talking about!" Heihachi said now with evidence to prove he was trying to do what was best.

"But we are all Mishimas! We are meant to hate each other's guts! It practically tradition!" Kazuya pleaded.

Jin raised his hand "Um actually, I'm a Kazama."

"I know that but you have Mishima blood in you."

Jin thought for a second "Oh yeah! I do don't I?"

"Yes you do."

Jin smiled "I get it now! So like when a guy and girl do stuff, blood from the guy also goes into the baby thingie… But then why does the baby thingie grow in the girl then? And how does the baby get there? Is it when the-" he started doing gestures with his hands but Kazuya knocked him out cold.

He stood cracking his knuckles and then looked at Heihachi and muttered "We have serious issues, let's go."

They all managed to get down the stairs in their own ways. Kazuya morphed into Devil (against Heihachi's will) and, before either Jin or Heihachi could grab ahold of him to hitch a ride, he dived down and flew to the bottom. Heihachi sighed and had began walking down the stairs but Jin had a great idea. He karate chopped Heihachi in the neck causing him to fall on his stomach and Jin then stood on his back and, keeping his balance, surfed down the stairs. He figured since Heihachi's belly is so big, he won't get hurt… Too much.

"Can I drive? OOOOHHHH Puh-leeeeeez!?" Jin begged on his knees when the three got to the car. He latched onto Heihachi's leg "Please grandpa I love you I love you I LOVE YOU!"

Heihachi saw people beginning to stare "Uh, okay just get off my leg!"

"YAY!" Jin screeched and jumped into the driver's seat.

Kazuya was already in the back and when Heihachi got in and slammed the door he leaned over and said "We are going to die."

"I know" Heihachi agreed.

Jin started banging the horn with his fist and jumped up and down making car noises. "VARROOOMM! VOOM VOOM! BEEP BEEP! MEEP! GET OUT OF THE WAY OLD LADY! OOPS! SORRY ABOUT YOUR DOG!"

"Jin, maybe if you were to put the keys in the ignition…" Kazuya started.

"No, I've had my fun, you can drive again, grandpa!" Jin said seemingly happy and clambered into the back landing in Kazuya's lap. Kazuya pushed him off angrily.

"Oh… Okay?" Heihachi was just as surprised as Kazuya was. He shrugged and climbed into the driver's seat. He started the car but before driving off he turned to Kazuya "Why aren't you sitting in the front?"

Kazuya sighed "Because the author of this story put me in the back."

"Oh yeah."

"… Why can't I drive?" Kazuya asked out of randomness.

"Uh… Because…" Heihachi searched for a reason.

"I have a license… Well an ALMOST legal one anyway. More legal than yours though."

"You can't drive Kazuya because I don't like you." Heihachi said and drove out onto a slip road towards a nearby by town.

"Of course. I forgot about that."

Heihachi parked the car so close to another that everyone had to climb over to the other side to get out.

"Great parking, dad." Kazuya mumbled.

"Shut up." He replied.

They entered a red brick building and walked down a long hallway with pictures of flowers with smiley faces and suns with smiley faces and trees with smiley faces… and smiley faces with smiley faces…

Jin started to cry "Flowers don't smile! I wanna go home!"

Heihachi pulled out a piece of paper with a room number on it "66…" you're wanting to know what the last digit is, aren't you? You think it's going to be 666! It's so freaky about that number because every time I'm playing on a game that you gain experience points on, I get the number 666 quite often and every time I do I get freaked out. Like this one time I had my hair band around my wrist and I got 666 on my gameboy and I thought I saw something freaky on my wrist and I jumped out of my skin and… Yeah… It was freaky.

Jin: I'm bored.

I don't care :P

Heihachi: I hate you.

I don't care.

Kazuya: My fist hurts from punching Jin a few scenes back.

OMG! ARE YOU OKAY BABY! LET ME SEE! AWW! SHIT! HES GOING TO DIE! GET AN AMBULANCE! ILL DO MOUTH TO MOUTH RESUSITATION!

Kazuya: AH! That's unnecessary, I'm sure.

Are you sure, baby?

Kazuya: Yes… And stop calling me baby!

Okay bab- I mean sexy! Is sexy better?

Kazuya: No

How about hottie?

Kazuya: Shut up and get on with this lame ass story!

OKAY! … Hey… My story isn't lame ass starts crying

Kazuya: God… Okay I'm sorry, can we just-

Yay! kisses Kazuya on the cheek

Kazuya: "

On with the story!

Heihachi: Why do me and Jin always get bashed while you worship that dumbass Kazuya?

Jin: Yeah!

First of all, I love you guys I think you're great, second… KAZUYA IS NOT A DUMBASS AND YOU SAY THAT AGAIN SO HELP ME I WILL----

Experiencing some typing malfunctions. Thank you for your patienceMusic starts playing

I'm okay now. Let's just finished this chapter alive, now, shall we?

ahem Anyway, the number on the piece of paper was 667 (too bad fans of that number 666) and it wasn't long before they reached that door. Like opening the gates to hell, Heihachi turned the doorknob and entered.

Suddenly, this short blonde haired woman with a scary smile confronted them with her arms out wide "Hello! Hello! You must be the… Mashma family!" Seeing none of them were going to accept a hug as a greeting, she held out her hand instead.

Heihachi shook it accidentally making it crack "It's Mishima." He said blankly.

Kazuya shook her hand cracking it even more and didn't say a word. Jin shook her hand cracking it again but he nodded and smiled. She looked at her limp hand and regretted shaking hands with the huge muscular family and clutched it close to her chest. She put on a fake smile and asked them to take their seats in a ring of other people.

Kazuya sat to Heihachi's right and Jin next to Kazuya. The people in the circle sat next to a person that they looked quite a lot like. But to Jin, Heihachi and Kazuya, they were all freaks.

The lady took her seat next to Heihachi "Hello everyone. As you know, we have a few new members joining us today so this entire session shall be focused on them as we have made a wonderful breakthrough with most of you and others we are making sufficient progress." She turned to Heihachi "Introducing Heihachi Mishima," Then to Kazuya "Kazuya Mishima," then to Jin "And Jin Kazama."

Everyone smiled and waved. Kazuya kept a stern serious face, Heihachi kept quite but was frightened at the same time and Jin was all smiles and enthusiasm and said Hi back to everyone.

"Heihachi is Kazuya's father and Jin is Kazuya's son but has his mother's last name, Kazama, instead of Mishima." She opened her notebook and looked through "So, Heihachi, starting with you, tell us about yourself."

Heihachi stood "I'm Heihachi Mishima-"

"Hi, Heihachi." Everyone said.

He gulped "I'm the leader of the Mishima Zaibatsu organization-"

"For now…" Kazuya smirked.

He continued "And I have made the effort with the advice of our family therapist to try bonding with my family. Unfortunately, my father could not be here as he is too busy rotting underneath one of my condos called Honmaru." He smiled as if it was perfectly normal and carried on "I booked this session myself because after watching Reality TV I saw that we should try being a better family."

The people clapped and nodded.

The lady smiled "Very Nice, thank you." Heihachi sat down "And now, it's your turn, Kazuya."

Kazuya stood and straightened his purple suit and pulled his gloves tight while talking "I'm Kazuya Mishima-"

"Hello Kazuya." Everyone said.

Kazuya ignored this and carried on "I am very reluctant on being here because I feel no therapy is required for this family because it's in the Mishima blood to have this rivalry and it's natural for us. If we try loving each other, it doesn't feel right. We can not be forced to love," he tightened his glove around his fist making some people gulp and others flinch "This family is meant to be screwed. Grandpa would agree." He sat down.

Several moments passed and the lady looked at the rest of the father's and son's to clap although it was slow and hesitant "Well, that was… Uh… An interesting point of view… Jin, you're up."

Jin stood up in his usual laid-back posture "What's up, I'm Jin Kazama-"

"What's up, Jin?" everyone said.

"Nah, I'm cool, thanks." He shifted his weight onto his other foot and swung his arms thinking of what to say "Um… I'm Kazuya's son and my mother was Jun Kazama. They had a one night stand after being drawn to each other by some mystical mojo and mum then went away, not telling dad she had me in her stomach. Anyway, after she kicked the bucket I came out of hiding to learn the Mishima style of fighting-"

"Can you just talk about what you think about your grandfather's choice in bringing you to this session, we can talk about your life afterwards." The lady said encouraging him to continue.

"Um… I think it sucks!" pleased with himself he sat back leaning back on the chair. As he did so, Kazuya grabbed in leg of the chair and lifted it up causing Jin to fall backwards.

The lady cleared her throat and ignored the chair antics going on at the corner of her eye "Let's learn more about Heihachi's relationship with his son, Kazuya." She nodded to give the cue for Heihachi to start.

"Well, Kazuya was a little welp, and still is, so I was naturally very stern and strict with him."

"That's understandable." The lady nodded. A rise of agreement came from the rest in the circle.

"Well, one day, I found him playing with a girl, this was when he was ten… So, I had had enough of his behaviour and threw him off a cliff and I said, if he was truly my son he would be able to climb back up alive."

Everyone was silent.

The lady then said "Well… Then… Kazuya, how did you feel about-"

"Being thrown into an almost ending abyss at such a young age?" Kazuya asked "Um… It was pretty sucky."

"How did you manage to survive?"

"I survived the fall because I was caught near the bottom by a protruding branch. I hung from it for a day or two. I had prayed to God to help me through things in the past and he had never done anything. But I knew the Devil was real… Oh yes, he's real alright. So I sold my soul to the Devil in exchange for the power to climb back up and seek vengeance."

Not a sound was to be heard apart from a young six year old saying "Cool!"

Kazuya smiled at this and continued "After beating my father in the King of Iron Fist Tournament which he himself organized, I had a short reign of the Mishima Zaibatsu and I threw him off the same cliff he chucked me off all those years ago."

"Yeah but then I beat him in the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2," Heihachi continued the story "Which I didn't organize because I was too busy climbing out of a deep crevasse and I threw him into a volcano hoping to kill him… But he's worse than a cockroach he came back because a company called G Corporation, my financial rival, found his charred remains and resurrected him. So I sent in my Tekken force to… Negotiate-"

"Uh, you mean slaughter everyone, but I kicked their asses anyway? And then, when you saw I was alive you pissed your pants?" Kazuya added, smirking deviously.

Jin laughed "Grandpa peed himself? No surprise there!"

"Well, dumbass (meaning Kazuya) escaped and so, I issued the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3 to lure him into a fight." Heihachi said.

"I only really entered to make my father pay and I heard Jin was in it also. I hated him because I hate everyone… Apart from myself."

"I used Jin as bait when he came to me after some monster had eaten his mother, so when Kazuya was defeated by Jin I shot him in the head."
"Yeah! That hurt!" Jin mumbled

Heihachi continued "Kazuya escaped. I don't know how Jin survived with a bullet in his brain… Well… He is a Mishima… No surprise I guess. I chained him up and kept him locked away. Well, I found remains of this monster that ate Jin's mother and found, if I could combine it's DNA with my own, I could become immortal… But I had to have the devil gene in order to make the DNA bond… I didn't have the devil gene but Kazuya and Jin did so I opened the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4. I would have taken the devil gene from Jin but Kazuya had the other half… Stupid Kazuya always ruins everything! So when he came, Jin beat him and then would have to face me… I would have won he hadn't cheated and turned into Devil Jin… So… Yeah… He beat me…-"

"WOO! You admit it! Yes! I kick ass!" Jin called out in triumph.

"When Jin was about to kill us both," Kazuya took the story on "He was so wimpy he just flew away like a big baby."

"No! I saw mum. I know she was a pacifist… So I let you guys live… But then the Devil took over as I reached a remote location in the middle of a forest and when I woke up… It was totally destroyed!"

"Just after that dumbass left," Kazuya continued "Me and Heihachi were ambushed by tons of robots…"

"Yeah… So… With immense years of hatred set aside… We fought as father and son." Heihachi admitted "It sorta… Went well. I enjoyed myself."

Kazuya smiled "I did too… Sort of."

"Then why did you betray me and throw me into those dumb robots and fly away leaving me to be blown up as they self-destructed!?" Heihachi cried standing up.

Kazuya stood "Because I want you to die!"

Jin jumped in between both "Yeah well I hate you both and I wish I had killed you!"

"People! People! Calm down" The lady shouted pushing them down in their seats. She cleared her throat, adjusted her glasses and straightened her coat and hair. She sat back down and took a deep breath "Well. Your story is certainly a very in-depth one with lots of emotion and feeling crammed into each on of you. You need to let that out. Show each other you really care. But before we do that, Heihachi, who was you father? You Kazuya and Jin seemed to mention him quite a lot."

"Not me. I didn't know the old coot!" Jin said "In fact… I have barely said anything in this chapter!" He began to cry when a biker-like guy next to him patted him on the shoulder.

"My father is Jinpachi Mishima. He has been locked under Honmaru for ages and is, hopefully, still there despite the explosion with all those robots." Heihachi said.

"I wish he wasn't locked under there. He was like a father to me when I was younger. He was sincere; he was kind, not a stuck-up overly strict beef-head like my father!" Kazuya growled.

Heihachi was about to give Kazuya an earful when the lady interrupted "The thing with the robots happened recently?"

"Yes not too long ago." Heihachi said.

"Last week." Jin added.

She smiled "That's great! We have something fresh for you and Kazuya to work on! That moment of working together to solve a huge problem, minus the betrayal thing, how did that feel?"

Heihachi grunted "It was different… Fun almost."

Kazuya nodded "As much as I am ripping my guts apart in admitting it, I enjoyed myself."

"Look deep down. You and your father both have something inside you waiting to let out. Give your emotions air! Let them free! Let your feelings soar like birds!"

Kazuya and Heihachi looked at each other. Heihachi was about to give his son a hug and Kazuya the same when… They both frowned at each other and growled "Not a chance."

Kazuya stood "Listen, freaky lady, me and my dad hate each other-"

"Hate is a strong word-" she began standing to block his exit.

"No! You are talking a load of bullshit! It's a fact." He turned to the rest of the people in the circle "Live with it, people. Stop trying to change us. We are who we are. If you want to kill your son or if you want to kill your father, then do it! Anyone who disagrees…" He stepped into his fighting stance "Will have to go through me."

The fathers and sons looked at each other and suddenly the whole room erupted into chaos. Fathers bashing sons over the head with chairs, sons hanging from their father's heads, biting hands that tried pulling them off, fathers kicked down their sons as they tried to attack. Sons gave fathers noogies and wedgies. Fathers grabbed their sons in headlocks and started pile driving them into the ground.

The lady's mouth fell open and she just stared at all her progress in father/son psychology go down in flames. As Kazuya left, he closed her mouth and left, Heihachi not far behind, dragging Jin out so he wouldn't join in the action.

As the got outside Jin walked up to Kazuya "That was a pretty inspirational speech, dad…"

It was like a sparkle in Kazuya's eyes but it was actually just the building igniting in flames and Jin received a punch in the face.

Jin clutched his eye "Ah… Point taken…"

Heihachi put an arm around Kazuya, for once, proud of what his son had done. But he saw the look in Kazuya's eyes "Okay, I get it. No sappy dad's stuff." He stopped in mid-hug and punched Kazuya in the side of his face.

He stumbled and then stood. After a few moments, he smiled. Jin caught up holding his eye but jumped around Kazuya and sent his fist crashing into Heihachi's face. After crying out, Heihachi shook his head and patted Jin on the back.

After getting in the car, Kazuya driving, Heihachi in the front seat and Jin laying on the back seats. They all felt happy.

"I don't know about you boys, but I enjoyed myself." Heihachi admitted leaning back in his chair.

"I did!" Jin shouted in an unnecessarily loud voice "Fighitng is what all father/son relationships are about!"

Kazuya nodded "It's a little scary but… For once in my life, I agree with you both."

Hehe, it would be a good note to end a story on, wouldn't it:P don't worry I've had fun so, hopefully, I won't! Funnier stuff is on the way! I watched Austin Powers before writing this chapter and it had a Father/Son group session and this is where this idea sparked from. Lol the places I get ideas from… don't ask…
