A/N: THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS, FOR THE REVIEW, THE FAVORITES & YOUR PATIENCE.

*23 years ago*

The TVs & radios announced "After Jun Kazama was defeated by Kazuya, he will to proceed to the finals to face Heihachi Mishima. It seems like this tournament came to an end way too soon. The father son brawl is what we all have been hoping for folks. Both of them have proven to be a few of the strongest people we've seen this time. Earlier today we took an interview of Heihachi Mishima and he is certain about his victory that is going take place day after tomorrow. We thought we could get a few words from the younger Mishima as well but he is nowhere to be found. It looks like he called it an early night folks."

Towards the northern forest of Japan somewhere away from all the noise of the city. Hidden deep within those bushy trees was a small cabin consisting of two rooms. They came inside the cabin, locked the door behind them. Kazuya watched Jun examine the slightly seedy cabin as he stripped off his white coat, & laid down their bags. He came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, leaning down to kiss her temple.

"Not quite as what we're used to. But the bed looks comfortable enough."

"It's fine. Sometimes I can't believe that I'm really here with you."

"For as long as you want to stay you know. We really did it."

Jun turned around in his arms, her brown eyes wide in the low light. "Would forever work for you?"

The way her voice cracked slightly as if she were afraid of his answer made his heart hurt. "Even that wouldn't be long enough," he said, touching her cheek. He took a deep breath, hoping that he was reading her correctly. "I'm in love with you, Jun."

She was still for a moment, tears swimming in her eyes. "I'm in love with you too, Kazuya. I think I have been for a while...I was scared…that maybe, you didn't feel the same way as I do."

"How could I feel any other way? You've turned my world completely upside down, Jun. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you." There may have been a time early on when he could have extradited himself from this, but that time was gone. Standing in front of him was his future.

"Show me, Kazuya. Make love to me."

He gave her a toothy smile. He leaned down and kissed her deeply, tongue sliding out to tangle with hers as her lips parted for him easily. Jun slid her hands under his light blue shirt, sliding over his back, scratching lightly with her nails. "Aha, Kazama," he mumbled pulling away from her. "I believe I made a vow to you earlier. And I intend to fulfil." He pulled the offending garment over his head, then scooped her up and carried her to the bed.

He spread her out on the duvet, tossing her shoes to the floor. He kissed the arch of each foot, smirking when he heard her moan softly. Both hands trailed along her legs, the warmth of his fingers making her shiver.

"Please," Jun said softly. She was already squirming under his touch, her breathing shallow, and he'd barely begun.

Kazuya started unbuttoning her shirt. He breathed slowly yet impatient as he stripped it from her body. Slowly, her vest & pants found their way to the floor, Kazuya kissing every new patch of skin he exposed. His own pants were becoming painfully tight, but he left them on, wanting to focus solely on her pleasure for the time being. Once she was naked, Kazuya rolled her over and kissed a trail down her back over her spine, his hand seeking out the spots he knew were sensitive. He'd come to know her body well over the last few weeks, able to play it like a fine instrument.

"You are so beautiful." He said it often—every chance he got, really—and he always meant it. There were no portrait painters in the land who could properly capture the light in her eyes or the grace of her curves. Those things were for his eyes alone. He turned her over again, kissing the hollow of her throat. "I love you, Jun."

"I love you, Kazuya." She tugged on his hair, dragging him up to her lips and she kissed him thoroughly, as if trying to memorize him. He understood the feeling. When she tried to reach for his pants, He didn't let her.

"I'm not finished with you yet." He said between kisses.

Kazuya lowered his head, taking one pert nipple into his mouth, suckling at her flesh. Jun keened and arched, unprepared. His fingers pinched the other.

"Kazuya...oh." Her hand tangled in his hair, tugging on the strands, making him groan against her skin.

"I love hearing you say my name like that, Jun." He went back to her breast, grazing his teeth over it, still wanting to hear her beg. When he knew she couldn't take anymore, he moved down, kissing her stomach, until he was settled between her thighs. "It was quite distracting. Knowing that you were going to be branded as mine forever. No one gets this but me."

Jun nodded vigorously, rocking her hips toward him. "What do you want, Sweetheart? I want to hear you."

Her teeth chewing on her lip. He merely raised a brow at her, not letting her get away with that. "I want you to touch me."

Carefully, he brought his fingers between her legs, to part her folds, rubbing over her slick skin. Jun moaned in pleasure, inching her legs even further apart. They quickly became coated with her arousal as he teased her. The fact that she wanted him so much, someone as ruined as him and to touch her like this, left him in awe. She truly did love him as he loved her.

Kazuya moved his fingers up to her swollen nub, her hips jerking as they came into contact with her skin. "Kazuya!" He just grinned and did it again, pressing harder, circling with smooth stokes. He lowered his head between her splayed thighs and licked a stripe through her folds before returning to her entrance and plunging his tongue inside her. He was relentless, tired of teasing her, needing to feel her around him. But he wanted to hear her scream his name first. He had to hold her hips down. She cried out his name once more, her walls contracting around nothing. He lapped at her, arousal covering his mouth and chin. She tasted divine.

When he finally pulled away and sat up, Jun was panting, a thin sheen of sweat on her skin, hair matted to her forehead. A lazy smile curved her lips and her eyes were closed. He hoped she could handle a bit more, because he still needed her. Kazuya shucked off his pants, groaning at finally being free of the confines of the straining material.

"Jun," he said softly, kissing her stomach. "I need you, darling. Please."

She opened her eyes and looked down at him. She swallowed and nodded, reaching for him. He sighed with relief and settled back between her thighs again, distracting her with a kiss as he took her. Her walls were still fluttering with aftershocks as he moved, hoping he could bring her to another peak before his own overwhelmed him. Jun moved with him, this was a woman who knew her body and knew what she liked. She brought her legs up around his hips, locking her ankles at the small of his back. It drove him deeper until he bottomed out inside her, making them both groan.

"Oh, Fuck" Jun breathed. "Just like that, Kazuya. Harder."

He did as she asked, his own need nearing its breaking point. "Touch yourself, Jun. So fucking close."

Jun reached between them, rubbing and pinching her clit, burying her head in the crook of his neck muffling her shout as she climaxed again, walls gripping him like a vice. He followed her a moment later, hips rutting against her as he whispered her name like a prayer. Kazuya rolled off her, pulling her with him until her head rested on his chest. It was some time before either of them could draw enough breath to speak. "You are...so amazing" he said, kissing her hair.

Jun made a sound very much like a purr, a happy, sated sound that filled him with joy. Everything felt different now. He knew that he wasn't alone in this, that she felt the same way he did. It also terrified him. He thought if he ever lost her...the world would know his pain, of that much he was certain. But for now, he had her and he intended to spend his life with her.

The next morning the Sun creek through the wooden walls of the cabin onto the bed where both of them spent their night. She was sleeping on her stomach, her hands fisted beneath the pillows, with the blanket covering only above her hips. Leaving a view her back completely bare for him, something he just wouldn't enjoy as a vision but also to feel beneath his fingertips. But why disturb this perfect angel.

Kazuya balanced himself on one elbow staring at this magnificent woman lying in his bed. He didn't realize how long was staring at her. Lost in all her beauty and his problems at the same time. Is this really the right time to start a new life? Can I just turn away from all that I've done? From all that has caused me to be like this? He will pay for it, for everything he has made me into.

"you're lost in thought" her drowsy voice pulled him out of his empty void." what are you thinking about?"

He smiled contently and said "Just, watching you sleep."

"That's creepy" she gave a giggling response. He drew his hand around her waist to pull her closer to him and started planting kisses above her elbow shoulder. She turned around and digs her hand in his hair and kisses him. Both been kissed, sucked and nipped at each other's lips. When they came up for air their foreheads were still joined.

"Kazuya" Jun panted and he hummed in response." I don't think you should go." He stiffened all at once and opened his eyes to look at her.

"Jun, you know why I must" he tried to sound calm at the idea.

"Why can't we just run away somewhere far? Somewhere where we'll never be found."

"If I don't get rid of him now, he'll spend every minute of his miserable life hunting us down." his thumbs caressed her cheek "if he comes after me I don't care, it's you I want safe."

She swatted his arm "don't be like that; I want you to come back to me in one piece. You matter too."

That made him smile and in turn brush his lips against hers. After an hour of their playful love making they untangled themselves from each other to get ready for the day. On his way out he grabbed his sack of supplies. He kept it simple, wore a grey vest and his traditional white pants.

"Kazuya, wait!" Jun called from within the cabin. He kept himself busy with tightening the think lace of his sack. He heard her bare feet running on the wooden creaking floor of the cabin. She wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed her chest against his back, with pressure. She pushed her face between the depression of his scapulae.

"Don't go please" she whined with her voice muffled at his back. It made her sound like a child, but she didn't care.

"Jun-"

"Please just don't go. I have this awful feeling that something bad is going to happen. I feel like I have this great weight knocking all the air out of my chest. Please Kazuya, don't leave." she pleaded.

He took her hand in his and turned around. "Jun, trust me, nothing bad will come from this. I'll come back."

"You promise?"

"I promise." with that he gave her a final kiss & a smile to lift her spirit.

She tried to get over this heavy feeling, even a couple of hours had passed, and it still wouldn't go away. So she tried to distract herself from shopping she went inside one of those fancy boutiques, to see some new dresses. As she was browsing around she heard someone call out to her.

"Jun I've been looking all over for you" Lei panted "look there's something I need to tell you." as he tried to explain. Her eyes landed on the TV in the store where the tournament results were being announced.

"Hey, the tournament results are here." she smiled towards the screen, not bothered to move her eyes away from it.

"Jun you really have to-"

The King of Iron Fist Tournament 2 is finally over with a very dramatic ending. It seems as though with the contestants: Kazuya Mishima had committed suicide by jumping into a volcano moments after leaving his father unconscious.

Jun's eyes widened. She left the different coloured clothes and started to shiver, as she faced her Chinese friend." Sui-cide? It can't... be. He wouldn't-" he tried to speak but found it difficult with the words stuffed in her throat. Lei grabbed her in his embrace to calm her down.

"I am so sorry Jun."

"He said he would come back. He even promised." the weeping sounded muffled in her friend's shirt. He was trying to console her when the people around her had heard the news too.

"Did you hear about that creep Kazuya?" they heard one voice say. "I heard he was quite the disturbed one so he became a sadistic womanizer."

"Womanizer? Please. He was a fucking rapist!" Another woman continued.

"Here's the latest news. People saw him going with some girl, & after their little charade in the forest, they only saw him come out."

"Maybe he murdered her & buried her body somewhere in the woods."

"Or maybe he had a one night stand… Then he got what he deserved. Sick bastard."

Knowing that she was hearing all these uncomfortable rumours he quietly let Jun Towards the exit. And even though she knew there was not an ounce of truth in these rumours; yet she felt like a thorn pricked her heart. Even though those are just words, they had seemed to have an effect on her so much as though she felt nauseous and dizzy at the same time. When she couldn't hold her balance any longer Lei thought it would be wise to take her to a hospital. After a few tests she waited for the doctor in one of the rooms. When Lei and the doctor stepped through the doors, she sat up on the bed.

"You cannot take so much stress like that Miss Kazama. The little one doesn't like it. No more worrying. Drink plenty of liquids and always they calm. You're very lucky to be blessed with a child." Lei thanked the doctor and after he left approached Jun with an encouraging smile.

"Isn't that a wonderful surprise Jun, you're going to be a mother." But she didn't move. Her face didn't crack a smile nor did her eyes develop tears. There was no happiness or remorse.

"I've had enough of surprises for one day" she finally managed to speak despite the poker face.

"Jun I didn't want to upset you-"

"Could you please drop me home?"

"Sure thing."

On the way she didn't say anything to him. She wasn't even looking at him. Just lost in her own thoughts. When her destination arrived she quickly got out of the car; Lei got out of the car halfway and asked "so, what're you going to do now?" as if testing her sanity.

"I'll move to another place."

"Where?"

"I don't know, Yakushima maybe." she rubbed her flat stomach with her hand. "I don't want my child anywhere near the name Mishima."

*17 years ago*

In the forest of Yakushima was a small house which rested on the side of a hill. Jun was gardening just outside her house, until a police car drove up front & a small boy jumped out of the passenger seat; He hopped and skipped towards Jun and behind the kid, the Chinese officer followed. "mama mama" he wrapped his arms around her neck.

"Hey sweetie, you're home!" she kissed her son's temple. "and thank you" gesturing towards Lei. She turned around and wrapped her child in her arms "how was your day at school today?"

"The teacher asked everybody about their mummies and daddies. When I asked them what's a daddy; they all laughed at me. Mama, what is a 'daddy'?" Jun suddenly realized where this was headed. Anxiety hit her quickly, which was very much visible to her friend.

"Jin, you know how mummy takes care of you and protects you?" Lei was successful in distracting him as the boy nodded. "A daddy is just like that. He's a bigger version of a boy, mummy's partner, he helps in taking care of the baby in the house."

"So you're my daddy?" The clueless kid Pointed at the officer.

Jun was more embarrassed than shocked "What no, No! He's your uncle Lei; can't be your daddy." Lei was more amused then embarrassed. Although impressed, how the kid added two and two together. "Your daddy was a nice person, but he is gone now." her voice cracked at the last word as she was trying hard to block out Kazuya's memory. It was moments like these she had feared. Not being able to answer her son's questions without breaking down. She couldn't allow his protector to look weak front of him.

"where'd he go?" the kid asked.

"Uh, up there" lei turned the child to make him look away from his mother; he was trying to convert death into a child's language by pointing at the sky. "Yep. You seem like your mother he's not only your guardian, but something greater. He's your guardian angel, who's always watching over you."

"Wow! Does he have wings like an angel?" the child's eyes sparkled.

"Of course."

"Alright Jin" she directed her son towards their home "go inside and your lunch is ready on the table." The child approved in a playful manner and she turned towards her friend. "Thank you for the save and also for bringing him home, you really didn't need to."

"Oh it's no problem really. I had some important news to tell you." he began as they walked in the door of her house. "I was going through the pictures of the crime scene and it turns out there are dragged footprints there. As if it wasn't a suicide but instead Kazuya-"

"Shh-h, would you please keep your voice down."

"-had been murdered... What's wrong?" Lei completed.

"I told you, I've never talked about him in a long time so please whenever you come visit never ever mention that name or anyone else related to him."

"you know you're going to have to tell him; eventually."

"No I won't."

"Yes you'll have to- Jun, what if he gets to know someday?"

"Then I hope that day, never comes."

Lei lets out a sigh. "I was saying but there's evidence of a struggle at the site where he was last seen. So it could be a possibility that he was most likely murdered, instead."

"I knew that... Anyway it doesn't matter anymore."

That was a bit shocking for Lei. He expected a different reaction. "You knew? Then why didn't you say anything?"

"You're forgetting who I'd be accusing. I'd be declared a certified wacko."

"I could've helped you. Stretched out a few hands and -"

"He has more sources than you have fingers and toes combined. The only reason why my son and I are safe because he managed to cover our tracks." She let out a shaky breath "Lei please, if something happens to me then I want you to take care of my boy."

"I'm not sure if I can make that promise because Heihachi is his grandfather and if his kin asks for him, then I'll have no choice."

"I don't know what he might do to my son so I was hoping-"

"I can't break the law like that. But I can promise you that I'll keep an eye on him."

She smiled to that and said "thank you."

Driving on the highway, past those street lights which reflected on the window of the car. He wanted to see the stars; nature always distracted him, a detour from depression. He wanted to be away from the catastrophe that had hit his life like a tsunami. He wanted to be at peace, but not even a decent nights' sleep was bestowed. Was this a phase? How would he get passed all of this?

"Jin" the officer called the boy, looking in the rear-view mirror to get glimpse of the shadow sitting in the backseat. "We're almost there okay? Just another 5 minutes."

They arrived at a huge mansion fit for five families. Jin carried his duffle bag, put his hoodie over his head and continue to look at the ground. As Lei rang the bell Jin thought whoever owns this place spends a lot of time decorating.

The door was open messenger haired man wearing sweatpants and a jacket. Seems like he was about to go out for a jog "yes officer Wulong, may I help you?"

"Mr Chaolan, this is Jin, the boy I told you about." The boy bowed after his brief introduction.

"Ah, manners; I like that." Lee smiled. "So then boy, would you like to be my apprentice?"

"It would be an honour sir" Jin slightly made eye contact.

"Good. Not come along inside way." they ordered the servants to show him to his room and take luggage. Lei hugged him one last time and put his number in his jacket pocket. After Jin was gone Lei turn toward Lee. "Be careful with him. He's... Gone to a lot recently. He just lost his mother in a fire."

"Oh that's dreadful. The poor boy must be devastated. Don't worry Lei, I'll look after him. Some food, a little asleep and he'll be fine."

"He's very bright lee. Loves to learn. You think you could get him enrolled in that school teach in?"

"He hasn't completed his education yet?"

"I think his last two years before college are left."

"Well alright. I'll get the paperwork done tomorrow." Just when Lei was about to leave " one last question: what did the boy's father do?" Lee asked.

Lei hesitated to give an answer " he was in the... Navy. Died, when the ship was shot by torpedo." He tried to make it sound as believable as he could and was successful in it too.

From his room Jin could see the police lights becoming dimmer as he laid down on the bed. Fidgeting and turning after every minute, trying to get adjusted to the new life yet entered. He took a picture of his mother and with her voice is still fresh in head his eyes became watery. He held onto it as he tried to pass the night.

The next morning Lee told Jin to clean his study and organize his files properly. When he returned he was thoroughly impressed with the outcome. Not only had the boys arranged everything alphabetically he had also written Lee's schedule for the next few weeks.

"Jin, come sit." He followed Lee to the best in the centre of the room. "I heard you like to study?"

"yes I love to study, sir" Jin replied, nervously tying knots with his thumbs under the desk.

"What do you love to study?" Lee grabbed the pen and noted down the categories.

"Environmental studies, math..."

"Alright; you think you could pick up another language?"

"Excuse me?" the boy inquired.

"English?" Lee asked.

"Sure; if you teach me I mean. Why are you asking me this sir?"

"Because you love to learn. I can see that you hunger for knowledge and such a trait should be ignored. So from tomorrow you're joining the school where I teach." Jin was so flabbergasted that he could only respond with his jaw dropped. "I need to know your full name though."

"Jin M-... Kazama"

"Mother's name?"

"Jun Kazama."

"Father's-"

"I don't know."

"How come?"

"My mother never told me."

"What did your father do?" Lee remembered what Lei had told him but this accidently slipped out.

"All I know is that he died before I was born" Lee was about to write Navy in the given field "he was a firefighter. Died while saving a family from a building." That struck Lee. The officer said 'Navy', but this kid tells another tale. Who's lying?

Next morning at Mishima Polytech he attended his first day; usually kids like him are nervous because they would have a certain fear of meeting new people, making new friends. For Jin, making friends was not a problem but neither was it a priority. He just wanted to avoid a certain person who shared the name Mishima. Although Jin had never seen Heihachi he still pictured him as a scary old snobbish man, who could barely smile. It was while he was heading to chemistry class, he saw a tall old man almost entirely bald yet still looked in the best of his health enter the classroom see how the students were progressing. Jin may have been staring at him for a bit, even after Heihachi had left the class.

"That's our principal" voice spoke from behind him. "Don't be fooled by the bald head. He may look stupid but He's actually very rich." Jin chuckled at that and turned around to the boy with brown hair and giving him information. "I'm Shin Kamiya by the way." the boy stretched out his hand and Jin willingly shook it.

"Jin Kazama."

Meanwhile Heihachi what's going to the list of new student in his office. Until he came across a familiar name. He told his assistant to send for Lee immediately. He threw Jin's documents in front of his adopted son and asked "who is this?!"

"That's a boy I took under my wing father."

"And you did a thorough background check?"

"Well yes-"

"Are You Sure Lee?" he stressed more onn the first three words.

"Y-Yes Father, why? What happened?"

"He looks vaguely familiar." he tried to concentrate on Jin's picture.

"Who do you think could be father? is he one of thugs from the south side or from the Korean gang?"

"None. But someone else."

"Like who?"

"Can't exactly tell. Even his name sounds familiar 'kazama'. Anyway Lee, I want you to bring me a sample of the boy's DNA."

"will do father."

Jin managed to spend a few weeks at Mishima Polytech, he was amongst the top three achievers in class; made an ample number friends; but mainly was able to suppress his depression none of the less had not healed. He did think that finally his life had become stable again. One day he came back rather late in the evening due to a certain gymnasium practice taking place.

"Jin you're finally home, there's someone I would want you to meet." Lee led him to the sofas in the huge lounge. That's where he saw him sitting. The very person he was hoping to avoid. Heihachi Mishima. Heihachi himself got up and shook Jin's hand, way more firm grip form a man in his late 60's than Jin had expected. "Who I am?" The old man asked.

"The principal?"

"He likes to do jokes eh Lee?" Heihachi shot in his adopted son's direction.

"Yes Father, Jin is quite the happy-go-lucky kind."

The old man looked back at Jin as the three of them sat down. "It was sad to hear about what happened to your mother. My sincerest condolences. But when a child is a new one in this two faced world, why wouldn't he ask his own grandfather for the help." Jin remained silent and expressionless. "Tell me. Do you know of a man named Kazuya Mishima?"

"Might have heard of him." Jin finally answered. "Was an ancient hero or something." He was bluffing obviously, his mother had eventually told him about Kazuya, or at least her version. Where he belonged to a rich, prestigious, high class family; his father had banished Kazuya for choosing his own path. And had rejected him ever since. He would never appreciate him ever again or anything else that he did. Heihachi despised him. Disapproving his own son to the extent of hatred.

"He was no hero, but a monster!"

"He tortured people just for fun" Lee added. "A normal persons' idea of fun could be sports, games or any other 'non-hostile' activity. Kazuya's idea of fun was pouring gasoline over me and watch me dance in flames."

"Kazuya was a mentally challenged child, after his mother's death he really became unstable." Heihachi stated. "A liar, a demon in his purest form. I tried to get him the help he needed, even before he committed suicide, but he remained stubborn."

Then why did mum marry this guy? Jin thought as he look towards the marble floor.

"if you're wondering how your parents came together" Heihachi interrupted his train of thoughts. "Then don't. Your mother must have been a simple woman. He had a habit of manipulating people; use them to get what he wanted and then leave them, or killed him, whenever he went to such an extremity. The poilice had showed me a complaint of Kazuya breaking the fingers of a girl, of both her hands. Since you're his son, I hope you don't take a similar path."

Jin tightens his fists "Ne-ver Sir."

"From now on you will live with me; I'll teach you everything there is to be a Mishima. Pack your bags Jin."

As Jin disappeared towards his room Lee turned towards Heihachi "alright father, what's the plan?"

"Lucky for us, half of our work is already done. Now we keep on filling his mind with how unstable Kazuya, & delusional his mother was. Then the Devil Gene could finally be mine." Heihachi grinned as he envisioned his future.
