Chapter 8:

Living With The Mishimas

"Hey. Kaziya..... Come on, time to get up." Jin's voice came softly. Kazi opened her eyes; Jin's face came into view, the golden sunlight shined softly.

"Uhn... mmm...." Kazi's voice came. Jin smiled,

"You must be hungry." He helped her sit up.

"No, no I'm alright-" Kazi's stomach growled and she blushed. Jin laughed. The mirthful sound of his voice made her forget about everthing and Kazi looked away. Jin stopped laughing.

"Come eat." Kazi couldn't disobey his commands; after all she was in his home. Kazi swung her legs over the side of the bed and tried to stand up. Jin caught her before she hit the floor.

"Ow..." Her ankle was still hurt pretty bad. Jin swept her up and over his shoulder. "HEY!" Jin carried her all the way down the stairs to meet Kazuya and his mother for breakfast. "GOD-DAMMIT! LEMME DOWN! I CAN WALK YA KNOW!" Kazi screamed the whole way. She blushed when she suddenly heard Jun giggle and Kazuya's rude comment.

"Well, well, well. Jin, you know you're supposed to give the girl a chance." Kazuya paused. Kazi nodded to herself, but took it back after he finished, "You can't just drag her to your bed. You have to have class, my son." Jun burst out into a fit of laughter. Jin grew red,

"Her ankle is still hurt." Kazuya shrugged,

"Eh, we can get her some crutches." He grinned; Jin furrowed his eyebrows in annoyance. Jun took a sip of her orange juice. Kazi ceased her screaming but kept on,

"Put me down or I'll-"

"Yeah? What ARE you going to do? Tickle my back?" Jin said testing her.

"GRR..... Kazama...."

"That's Kazama-Mishima. It's hyphenated." Kazuya said messing with the two of them.

"What kind of last name-"

"Wouldn't you like to know?"

"GRR.... Wait. You changed your name?!" Kazi went from angry threatening to surprise and shock.

"Yeah he did. And?"

"I thought-"

"There you go THINKING again." Jin interrupted the two of them, playing along with Kazuya's strange humor.

"GRR.... Annoying little.." Kazi mumbled.

"Devil?" Jin finished for her,

"Took the word right outta my mouth, Devil-Boy."

"You just don't know how true that is..." Jin whispered where only he and his parents could hear.

"What did you say about my mama?!"

"You don't have one."

"Oh, yeah. STILL-"

"Eh, shut up." Jin set her down in a chair.

"STOP DOING THAT GOD-DAMNIT!" Kazi said annoyed. Kazuya took a sip of his black coffee and picked up the paper.

After breakfast Kazi was 'dragged' reluctantly back up to her room. She pouted.

"I don't see why I have to stay here." Jin cocked and attitude,

"Well, if you wouldn't have come here in the first place we wouldn't be in this predicament." Jun and Kazuya watched them argue,

"Jin, what have I told-" Jun started.

"Eh, let him be. He twenty-one." Kazuya interrupted her. Jun glared.

"You know, I think I know where he got it from." Kazuya raised an eyebrow,

"Really...?" He grinned.

"Yes, that annoying interruption you two always do."

"Well, if he's just like me, than he should have no trouble getting her to 'play' with him-" Jun elbowed Kazuya. He just laughed. They turned their attention back to Kazi and Jin.

"Look, it's not that bad-"

"Whadda mean NOT THAT BAD?!" Kazi said standing up to Jin.

"I'm serious, look, it could always be worse."

"I know that but- but- ARG." Jin sighed. Jun and Kazuya listened intensively.

"It's not that bad!"

"You mean, it's not that bad that I HAVE to walk through a forest?!" Jun and Kazuya hit the floor, one foot in the air twitching. Jin and Kazi burst out laughing.

"GOTCHA!" They said in unison. Jun and Kazuya got up. Kazuya scowled and dusted off his clothes. Jun smiled.

"You've got to admit, it was quite funny." Jun said.

"Mnshphm nfksded..." Kazuya mumbled.

"What did you say...?" Jun asked.

"Nothing-"

"Mishima Kazuya, DON'T YOU 'NOTHING' ME!" Kazuya ducked out of the room, a crazed Jun running behind him. Jin and Kazi laughed.

"Crazy..."

"Yeah." Jin agreed.

"I like it that way. It wouldn't be fun if it wasn't." Kazi smirked. Jin looked at her. She actually found living with the most insane, crazy, overly powerful, most chaotic, and feared family in the world, amusing and fun.

"Why?" He asked.

"I don't want to be normal." Kazi said smiling, "Heh, then everything would be the same and boring. That's why I live everyday on the 'edge'."

"As if it was your last..." Jin said.

"Exactly!" Kazi jumped and caught onto Jin's back.

"AHH! DARN IT KAZI!" Jin screamed,

"He he he.." Kazi laughed, "Piggy-back ride!"
