I don't own Tekken. T.T
The Wish Of Night: That's ok… :D I'm glad you don't get bored with my chapters. (I only find them boring when I'm translating…I'm getting tired! I'm translating the 22nd chapter and they are 55! I'm going to die!!!)
Lonelyngel: You're absolutely right! It's very weird to imagine Jin doing those stunts like Ling…but you know something? It would be great, because when I'm playing the game, Jin is so damn slow!!! That's why I thought about giving his new technique a new dynamic! :D :D :D Anyway thanks for reviewing.
Lady-Eliwen: Thanks again…and Good Luck for you too! Lets hope that the exams won't be too difficult or I'm in troubles! My first one will be Modern History from Colonisation and Decolonisation (I think I'll fail! T.T) Enjoy the chapter.

EAST-OSAKA
20th AUGUST 2011
Julia was in the Makia Hotel, to check her mail; she knew her parents would write soon to be sure she had returned safely.
-Good morning.-she said to Mrs. Makia.
-Hi, Miss Chang…Finally, I thought you were going to stay there forever!
-You missed us?
-Of course…everyone was in shock when we found out that Hwoarang was gone…
-We weren't gone, we just travelled…it's normal to travel…
-Yes, but we never thought he would do this!
-Well…there's always a first time!
-Things are going to change, right?
-I don't know…Why?-asked Julia confused.
-Well…you made a miracle happen…
-I didn't do anything…he wanted to go…
-So, where did you go for the special moments?
-Special moments? We were in my homeland, Arizona…that's all. My family has a ranch there…
-Everything is fine, then?
-Sure.
-How is he after…this huge commitment?
-Hwoarang didn't change…he's still the same…
-You must be really special to him! I'm glad you two decided to take this step!
-What step? You lost me…
-Marriage, of course!
-Marriage? What are you talking about?
-You didn't marry in America?
-Hwoarang and I? Married? Are you joking!? Of course not!
-Really?
-Yes!
-But everyone said he was in the States because he was going to propose to you! Everyone was shocked, after all marriage it's not his style!
-Who the hell said that?
-I don't know…I heard some girls talking…they were heartbroken…
-We did not marry! I went to see my family and I asked him to go with me…that's all!
Julia was a bit angry with all that confusion. She didn't like rumours about her life, especially when it was all a big lie. She was walking home when accidentally she bumped into someone and she fell.
-Sorry!-she said getting up.
-Look who she is!-said a girl to her three friends.-It's Miss Perfect from the States!
-My name is Julia!
-So, do you think you're special, right?
-No…and I said I was sorry! I was distracted and I didn't notice you…
-I think you're up to something!
-What!?-asked Julia confused.
-Otherwise, why would you bother to take Hwoarang away from here?
-I did not take him!
-She's such a drama queen! What do you want from him, money?
-No!
Julia was losing her patience and she was going to say that the rumours were all lies, when another girl cut her off.
-Hwoarang is so blind! You're just a slut, aren't you? He can't give you what you want! So go back to your country!
-Do you think so?-asked Julia.-He has many things to give! And I'm not talking about money…
-You have some nerves!
-You started this! If Hwoarang is with me, it's because he wants me…you have nothing to do with our lives! Besides, he's mine! So, stay out of my way!
Julia went back home, she couldn't believe she had said that, but it felt good, besides those girls were asking for it.
TOKYO
18th SEPTEMBER 2011
It was Sunday, and Ling, Miharu and Yuu were at the demonstrations place. Jin was going to perform, as usual. He didn't join a group but many of them asked Jin to perform with them. Jin was very popular in there and when he was performing the audience was always immense.
Ling, Miharu and Yuu knew perfectly that Jin's technique was unbeatable, but Jin wanted more experience and that was why that same night he asked Ling to begin with his gymnastic classes.
They were at an old storage that was going to be demolished in the next month. They had cleaned it a bit and Jin was watching Ling's exercises. He was beginning to doubt he would be able to do the same things.
When she finished he tried to do some exercises but he failed all. It was almost mid-night when they headed back home.
-This is not going well!-he said.
-I told you it was going to be like this! You have to try harder and to use your agility; this is not about strength…
-Easy for you to say…
-You're going to succeed in about three days! It's a promise!
-Yeah…sure…
-Jin Kazama! Think positive!
-I am thinking positive…because if I think negative I would probably say I'm going to break my neck or something like that!
-You don't believe me, do you?
-Of course I do…but I don't believe in me!
-Well I do!
TOKYO
21st SEPTEMBER 2011
Jin and Ling were training hard for three days. She was decided to keep her promise. Jin was now a bit more positive, he had succeeded in some exercises. But gymnastics was not an easy thing to learn at the age of twenty.
-I think you're ready!-Ling said.
-What?
-You're ready!
-But how? I can't do your demonstrations!
-Of course you can…believe me!
Ling started a simple demonstration.
-Now you do it!-she ordered.
Jin did what he was told and he was perfect.
-I told you!
-But this is too easy! I can't jump above my head…like you did earlier!
-You have to try! Remember that your body must be like a rubber…and you need to be as light as a feather.
-I'm gonna die!-Jin said.
-The first impulse is very important!
Jin couldn't do it. He tried but it wasn't as easy as Ling said.
-Ok…lets try in a fight!-Ling announced.
-What?
-We're going to fight and you are going to use everything I taught you!
They started a fight. Jin was trying to remember everything she had told him, but it wasn't easy.
-Come on Jin you can do it!-Ling said after ten minutes.
Jin started to remember every fight Ling had done in the past, every moves she had made, and then he managed to copy her.
-Well done!-she said turning back, because he had jumped over her.-I told you that you could do it!
-Yes, you did! Thank you…
-You welcome.-Ling said hugging him.
In that moment, Jin felt something strange and when he realised what he was doing he was pulling Ling closer to him and he was almost kissing her.
-Do you know what time it is?-asked Chen Ying entering.
Jin pushed Ling away and blushed. What the hell was he doing? He had never been so spontaneous.
Ling was a bit confused but she couldn't say she hadn't appreciated that moment.
-We were just finishing.-said Ling running to meet her grandfather.
Jin left behind them and he watched the moon in the night sky. Things could be very simple if he hadn't that stupid AX gene. That was why he and Ling could only be friends.
When Chen Ying arrived home, Jin pulled Ling to speak with her.
-I'm…sorry for what I did!
-What do you mean?
-I…I…don't know what was I thinking…I'm really sorry!
-It's ok…I'll see you in the morning…
-Yes…good night!
Ling got inside and she smiled. Jin had blushed when he said sorry, that meant he felt something special, just like her.
TOKYO
1st OCTOBER 2011
It was time to go back to school. All the students were at the Mishima Polytechnical School. They were hearing the Headmaster's speech. Jin had never heard his grandfather's speech, because he never bothered to show up on the first day at school. He was watching Mr. Misuno closely; he seemed a good man. After that the students approached the general board to see their schedule. Jin, Ling, Miharu and Yuu were in the same class, but they had different schedules, because Yuu and Miharu had chosen two different disciplines. Instead of Sports and Advanced Martial Arts, they were having Economy and Biology.
In Ling's opinion they were both crazy.
-Do you remember this place, Yuu?-asked Miharu.
-Why?-Yuu asked.
-Last year Ling and I hit you right here!
-Shut up!
-What were you saying when we hit you?-she insisted.
-Nothing!
-You were talking about Jin…
-Me?-Jin asked surprised.
-No! It was about another guy!-lied Yuu. Miharu laughed when he gave her a cold look.
-What do you think about Mr. Misuno?-asked Jin to Ling.
-He's very nice…I like him. This is going to be the best school year!
TOKYO
MISHIMA POLYTECHNICAL SCHOOL
2nd OCTOBER 2011
It was a half past eight in the morning when Jin, Ling and Miharu entered the School in their school uniforms.
-I hope I don't fall asleep!-said Ling walking in the classroom.
-Me too!-said Jin.
When the Math teacher walked in, everyone paid attention to his words.
-Before we started the class, I present you two new students: Kazumi Aikawa from Kobe and Yang Cheng from Myanmar. Please sit down…
At lunch time, the cafeteria was full. The food there was great and Jin and Ling had decided to have lunch with the others.
Yuu was waiting for them in a table.
-So, how was your Economy class?-asked Ling.
-Great!-Yuu answered.
-He's just saying that because out teacher is a girl…-said Miharu.
-She's not a girl…she's a babe!-Yuu said.
-Men…-sighed Miharu.
Jin and Ling looked at eachother and shrugged.
Miharu and Yuu started an argument about the Economy teacher that only ended because someone approached them.
-Can we please sit here?-Kazumi asked gently.
-Sure.-said Miharu.
-Thanks.-said Yang Cheng smiling to Ling. Jin watch that smile and he didn't like it much.
-People say that the food here is great!-said Kazumi.
-So…you're Aikawa, right?-asked Yuu.
-Yes…I'm Kazumi Aikawa, nice to meet you all.
-Well I'm Yuu Murakama and these are my friends, Ling Xiaoyu, Miharu Hirano and Jin Mishima.
-Yang and I were hoping to meet some friends because we are a bit lost in this new School…-said Kazumi.
-Where are you from, Kazumi?-asked Miharu.
-Kobe…my father and I came here two weeks ago. He's working in a very important company.
-What about you, Yang?-asked Miharu.
-I was born in a small village in Myanmar. But I was raised here in Japan. I'm living with my aunt and my uncle…they don't have kids. I study martial arts since I was a kid…in a Dojo. Now I want to learn more.
-What's your technique?-asked Jin.
-Aikido and Karate.-Yang answered.
-And you?-asked Ling to Kazumi.
-Judo…but I'm not a great fighter. People say that the former Headmaster was the best fighter around, and he used to teach a very effective technique…
-Well, that's in the past!-said Ling.
-Did you meet him?-asked Yang interested.
-Yes.-said Yuu.-Ling, Miharu and I were here in his last year as Headmaster.
-How was he?-asked Kazumi.
-Very…tough…but the Mishima Karate is not part of our studies anymore!-said Ling.
-What about you, Jin?-asked Kazumi.
-What?
-Were you here before?
-Yes…I was here before everyone else…I met the Headmaster very well. He was my grandfather!-Jin left the table and Ling followed him.
Yang and Kazumi looked surprised with that comment.
-I'm sorry!-Kazumi said.-I didn't know…
-It's ok…-said Miharu.-Jin will be fine!
-Honestly…we didn't know!-said Yang.
-Don't worry; he didn't like his grandfather…much…-said Yuu.
Ling was outside with Jin.
-I'm fine…-he said.
-Are you sure?
-Yes. I have to get over this!
-Do you want to talk about it?
-No…it's ok…I just have to deal with this. But it's odd…
-What?
-I'm not missing him or anything…I don't know why his name upsets me so much!?
-What he did to you was…unforgivable…he took everything from you, but you need to live your own live now…
-Yes…I know. Thanks for the words.
-Anytime…-said Ling turning back to the cafeteria.
-Ling?-Jin grabbed her arm.
-Yes…
-He didn't take everything from me…you're still here!-Jin said.
-Yes, I am…I'll always be here for you.
-Thanks!
MYANMAR
IDAHA
15th OCTOBER 2011
-Have you heard any news from Japan?-asked Dr.B. to Heihachi.
-No, not yet!
-I hope your man doesn't desert us!
-My men aren't like that! I still have many loyal servants around the world!
-Where's Nina?
-Playing with my army! They need to practice more…That Chang girl and Xiaoyu kicked their asses last time. This can't happen again! Nina is the right master to train them.
-She's very weird lately. I think she's having some dreams about her past.
-She's just bored!
Dr.B. was right; Nina was having dreams, especially about a baby, her baby. In that moment she wasn't with the tekken forces, that had arrived a few days ago, she was searching for some interesting things in Dr.B's files.
With luck she saw a file with a familiar name, Kazuya Mishima. It was only his medical records. Kazuya started to make those tests when he was ten years old, and the last one was referring to a strange gene, called by Alfa X, or just AX gene.
When Nina left the lab, she heard Dr.B. and Heihachi talking about her.
-Are you sure she has the AX?-asked Heihachi.
-Yes…I told you several times…she has it. I don't know how…
-Since when?
-Since the day of the explosion.
-Why? Why didn't we detect it earlier?
-I don't know…maybe it was sleeping…We only detected Kazuya's when he was ten…
-Then, why don't I have it too?
-Maybe…it has something to do with Reika, your wife.
-Reika!? She hated fighting…
-Well, these are the facts. Kazuya, Nina and Jin have the AX, you and Lee don't!
-Is it possible that Nina's child has it too?
-Yes…there's a possibility. But we don't know if the child survived!
-In the beginning you told me Nina didn't have the AX!
-And she hadn't…it must have some kind of trigger…
-That means I can have it too…
-No…If that was true, the gene should've showed up…But there is another problem…
-What?
-I made a research, and I'm still waiting for answers, but I think the gene can be transmitted to another person…
-Of course it can! Kazuya gave it to Jin…Nina is the exception!
-I haven't finished yet…I was talking about a man and a woman…
-You mean…
-Yes. Kazuya could've transmitted the gene to Jun. That can be the reason why Jin was born with it. Jin is the only one who was born with the AX.
-But that makes the AX highly transmittable!
-I know…but I'm not sure yet!
-That means I should've kept an eye on my son and my grandson's dates…and Nina's too…
-Nina is a gold mine…we have to control her!
-Yes, I know, but first I want my revenge!
Nina was now very confused, she didn't know what the hell was the AX gene. And she didn't remember very well what had happened in the day of the explosion. There was something connecting her to the Mishima family and she needed to know what.
She had to be aware of everything, and she needed to find out her past, once and for all.
