Part 1

Jin landed on the ground with a smash using his fist to break his fall, his wings and tattoo disappeared as splinters of rock shot into the air, he stood up and looked down at his stomach, seeing the tattoo disappeared and him back to his normal form he sighed of relief, he tried to think back to what had happened but he remembered nothing after being attack by the Mishima Zibatsu. Jin only knew one thing, and even that he wasn't sure how he knew it, but he felt it, he had to find his mother, he had to find Jun. There was something she could do for him that no-one else could, something he needed from her... but what.

Jin turned around and realised where he was, he had flown to the outside of his Dojo, he slowly walked inside to see his master training at a punch bag. "Master", Jin said in a deep voice "Jin! Your back, I heard about the tournament, where did you go, you missed one of your most important fights!", he exclaimed "It's not important, I have to go, there's something I have to, someone I have to find, where are my clothes", Jin said angrily "In the back. and Jin, I know nothing I can say will stop you, it never has, but be good. and if you can't be good be careful", Master Kenji laughed at his own joke. Jin smiled slightly and then stomped into the back, he got changed into his tracksuit and put on his gloves. "Jun Kazama. I'm coming", he whispered to himself, with this he turned around and walked out of the Dojo.

Jin stood outside the Dojo and suddenly realised that he had no idea where to go, or what to do. To the left of him he could see a row of shops, restraunts mostly but at the end of the long street was a large building which he knew to be his old school, the one he attended during the Tekken Tag Tournament, he smiled to himself as he remembered the old days when he used to hang around with. Ling Xiaoyu, the smile faded as he remembered how much he had meant to her and how she must have felt after the last tournament when he left so suddenly, he had heard rumours of her searching for him but of course she had not found him. that wasn't to say he couldn't find her. Jin began walking slowly down the street towards the school. Walking down the street Jin spotted an old. friend he laughed to himself at the thought of anyone he fought being a friend, Forest Law, he owned a Dojo down here Jin remembered, he was one of the fighters Jin had beaten in the tournament. Jin called out to him "Law!", Law spun around and saw Jin standing their "How about a re-match, you lost pretty bad last time", Jin sneered in a friendly way. Law laughed to himself and clenched his fists "You sure your ready for me?", he shouted at Jin. Jin smiled and adjusted his gloves then ran full force at Law.

Law ducked under Jin as he jumped at him, he then spun around and tripped Jin up as he tried to stand. Jin leapt up and swung a kick at the side of Laws head, it struck him and Law flew against a mail box, wincing In pain Law slumped against the mail box, Jin punched Law hard in the chest and the mail box fell over taking Law with it. Law was lying on the ground apparently helpless when Jin leapt into the air and fell down aiming a punch at Laws chest, he laughed to himself, punching him against the mail box would surely win the fight, however Law rolled off the mail box at the last second and Jin ended up putting his fist straight through the metal post box, Law grinned as Jin held his fist in pain. Jin laughed it off and stood back up to face Law, Law looked shocked but charged at Jin never the less, just as law reached Jin, Jin grabbed laws arm and tripped him up, Law fell to the ground and Jin jabbed two fingers into Laws throat, Law surrendered as he crawled away struggling to breath. Jin turned around and began to walk off then turned around and smiled "Better look next time", with these words Jin turned down an alley and was gone. Jin sat down in the alley and thought about the fight, Law had definitely improved since the tournament, he'd actually worked up a sweat this time, Jin smiled to himself and wondering how much Xiaoyu had changed, would she still be the same little girl he could remember. he had been talking to her friend after the tournament, about a month after, just to check up on Xiaoyu and Takeo had said Xiaoyu was a completely different person since the tournament "How different", Jin said to himself quitlely. Jin heard a laugh and spun around, there was a tramp hidden behind his long blonde hair in the alley, Jin knew he was familiar but couldn't quite place the feeling. "How different. things can be very different Jin Kazama, the slightest mistake and your life can take a turn for the better. or the worst", said the Tramp, not once looking towards Jin. "How do you know my name stranger?", questions Jin "I know enough..", replied the tramp "How?", Jin snapped impatiently "Like I said, I know enough", the tramp turned his head suddenly towards Jin and flicked his hair away from his face "Remember me?", he smiled softly "Paul Phoenix. you lost in the 5th round to Yoshimitsu", smiled Jin. The two stood up and embraced each other. "What happened to you", Jin asked looking at Paul. Paul's long blonde hair was now hardly recognisable due to the dirt, his clothes were no more than grey Karate robes, once white. it looked like he lived in this alley, Jin could see boxes and tins everywhere. "Like many others, I lost in the tournament, and lost my will to fight" he sighed "Why didn't you do something else?", asked Jin. Paul laughed to himself "Yeah. me. the only thing I was ever good at was fighting and Yoshimitsu took that from me. what could I have done?", Paul sighed and looked at Jin darkly "Nothing" "I suppose your right. listen, I'll get you cleaned up, I'm going to find Ling Xiaoyu, you can come, there might be some work for you in some town we pass through, your bound to find something, until then, I have plenty of money. the only good thing about being a part of the Mishima family is that they have no shortage of money. but I am a Kazama which means I have to steal it from my father's side, but if they treat me like dirt I have no problem with it!", grinned Jin.

Paul and Jin slowly stepped out of the alley and continued down the street, as Paul walked along side Jin people laughed at the sight, they soon stopped however as Paul delivered an uppercut to one of them.
