Disclaimer: Last time I am mentioning this. I do not own Tekken. If I did, Heihachi would be dead since the third tournament, Jun would still be alive and Jin won't be hiding from everyone, capisco? But since Heihachi is in the forth tournament, Jun is really dead and Jin wears his hood and everyone wants to kill him except for the people that don't know him and Xiaoyu. So there, there is proof I don't own Tekken.
(a/n): Thank you so much for your reviews everyone. You give me a lot of encouragement and that is making me going. I thank you, without you I don't know what I'll do. First I had my doubts about my English major but now I really see I'm going on a good direction, thank you all.
Chapter 6: Disappointment
Jin was in his room finishing up his last homework. He was really tired of homework, he is supposed to graduate soon and they still gave him those hard problems. Jin was good at everything but he was concerned about other things. He was concerned about getting a job and was nervous about the tournament. He didn't know if he was good enough or if he was a complete loser.
Jin's grandfather never praised him, he only told him his mistakes and that was it. He never said what was his weakness nor did he mention his strengths. Heihachi always trained with him with no mercy. Jin was never able to defeat Heihachi because he either got tired too soon or he was beaten up severely. Jin did his best but his grandfather never gave him a moment to at least enjoy a victory against him.
Although Jin participated in a few matches and won all of them, he still didn't think he was good enough. If he was good enough, he should be able to defeat Heihachi. Jin felt bad too. If Jin does something wrong Heihachi always blames his mother. He would say something like, "That's from your mother's side of the family." Or like the one he said yesterday, "That mother of yours have done nothing but make you weak and naïve." Jin felt really bad. He wasn't really naïve; he just acts like it because of all the things he went through.
Jin felt like he is a machine, nothing but a tool to use by someone else. Heihachi has isolated him and made him a loner. Jin can't change it now; it's part of his personality. If only someone knew what he went through, but he couldn't show others that he is weak, because Jin is not weak.
A knock was reinforced on the door and Jin wondered back into reality. "Jin, it's Xiao, can I come in?" Jin looked at the door and sighed. He closed his notes and opened the door. He stood in the doorway, one hand on the door and the other on the wall. "What is it, Xiaoyu?" He asked her. "Listen, um…well…um…" Jin stared blankly at her as she tried to finish her sentence. "Well what?" He asked her. Xiaoyu looked up at him and he noticed she wasn't smiling. "Heihachi said he wants to see you, he didn't look happy either." Jin was getting confused. "Did he tell you why he wants to see me?" She just shook her head and Jin closed his eyes in tiredness.
"Alright, I'll be right down." Jin closed the door and let out a long breath. What did I do now? Jin looked at his clock sitting on the nightstand next to his bed and it was 6:00 P.M. Jin cursed himself quietly as he forgot about that guy at school. Now that Heihachi needs him, it might take the whole night. Jin gathered himself together and went to confront Heihachi.
Heihachi seemed very calm when Jin finally got into the living room. Heihachi was sitting on the couch, sipping wine as he was watching something on the television. "You are late Jin." He said very smoothly but in a very deep voice. "I apologize, grandfather. You wanted to see me?" Jin controlled his voice as he spoke each word. "Yes I did actually. Please sit down." He pointed towards an armchair opposite from the couch.
Jin decided to do so and continued listening to his grandfather. "I see you have decided to fight?" Jin's strict look turned into a confused one. "Pardon me, grandfather." He only saw his grandfather smile. "You have a fight to win tonight, do you not?" Jin nodded slowly. "What have I told you before about that." Jin finally understood what he was getting at. "Grandfather, I have done nothing but defend myself. I have never met that person in my life. I don't know him and he doesn't know me. I—"
Heihachi signaled for his people to get out of this room as Heihachi carefully put down the wine on the coffee table. "You disappoint me, Jin." He finally said when everyone left. Jin felt a little worried as he felt his heart start to beat a little faster. "You have an honorable name to live up to and you still dare to even agree to this fight." Jin had nothing to say. He has totally forgot about his grandfather's rule. It was his fault. "I am sorry, grandfather. I was not thinking." "That's the problem, Jin. You don't think." Jin felt like he was hit in the gut. Jin closed his eyes and wet his lips, as they were getting dry.
"Grandfather—"
"Make sure you win that fight, Jin." Heihachi interrupted him. "If you are not going to win do not come back. I do not want to raise a failure." Jin suddenly felt not wanted, as his grandfather's words have smacked him hard. "Grandfather?" He asked him, still unsure if that was his grandfather's words. "Show me that you are strong, Jin like our family. Or has the Kazama blood weaken you?" Jin lowered his head. "If you want to prove yourself, defeat him. My people will be watching." Jin nodded slowly.
"You may go now." Jin dragged himself out of the easy chair and felt like he was worthless as he went up the stairs. "Oh and Jin?" Jin turned to look at him. "If he wins, do not come back." Jin nodded and went up the stairs.
Xiaoyu was not standing in the hallways where he has left her and he was glad. He kind of didn't want her to see him like this. He looked like someone has ripped his heart out. His only family member was so cruel to him like he didn't care. Heihachi was the only one Jin had and he did his best to at least like him. But he fears him instead. He only feels fear and discipline around Heihachi and his grandfather never even thought there was something wrong with it.
Jin carefully opened his door as he tried to maintain his self-esteem. He picked his gloves that were lying on his chair and squeezed them tightly. He will win the fight he must win the fight.
No one was there when Jin arrived, it was dark and chilly and Jin was shivering. How stupid of him to forget to check the weather. It seemed so warm outside and now it's freezing compared to the afternoon. Jin looked in all direction but there was absolutely no one. He can't even see those people that Heihachi sent, he felt that there were eyes watching him but he didn't know where are they.
"Kazama, I see you made it." Jin looked towards the voice and saw the same kid that he has encountered yesterday. "A deal is a deal, Kazama. Let's dance." Jin forced his hands into knuckles, as he didn't say anything. He has nothing to say to this punk. "The name's Hwoarang, I'm you're worst nightmare. Five hundred bucks will be awarded to the winner. Hope you have your wallet with you, rich boy." Jin curled his lip in disgust.
"I am not fighting for money." That has shocked Hwoarang, but then he smiled. "What's the matter, afraid you'll loose?" "No, afraid you don't have enough." Jin simply said which has made Hwoarang angry. "You talk to much for a rich boy, spiky. Alright, I'll guess I'll put you in your place."
Jin had nothing to say to him. He got into his stance as the words still rang through his head. "If he wins, do not come back." Jin squeezed his knuckles and nodded. "Alright, if you think I'm not in my place already, then make my day." Hwoarang smirked and jumped around and got into his jumpy stance. "Don't worry, you won't forget this day."
(a/n): Next chapter is coming soon. It will only be about the fight. I promise I will update it soon if I will get enough reviews. I once again want to thank those that has reviewed earlier, thank you for supporting me.
