Chapter 5: Agitated
"Asuka!" Jin called, bringing his fist over and over again to the door of his sister's room. "Come on! Open up! I said I was sorry!"
Silence.
"What do you want me to do, anyway!" Jin fumed. "What! You want me to get down on my knees and beg for forgiveness! Well, I'm not gonna do that! Not in a million years but if you're gonna continue on with this childish tantrum of yours, then, I'm taking back my offer of helping you learn the truth! I'm counting to three! One...two..."
"Not so used to having a little sister, aren't you?"
"Wha? Oh, Xi-Xiao! You've arrived!" Jin straightened up, his eyes softening at the sight of his former classmate. "How did you know abou"
"Asuka told me," Xiaoyu shrugged.
"She told you!" Jin's voice suddenly went shrill. "What did she tell you! How much did she tell you!"
"Jeez, Jin! I would've found out eventually, anyway," Xiaoyu crossed her arms and began to pout. "Why? Are you ashamed of having Asuka as a sister? Or is it because of the big fight you just had?"
"She told you about that too, huh?" Jin's shoulders slumped, though he was somewhat relieved that Asuka had had the sense not to talk about the big picture.
"Sounds like there are a lot more things both of you aren't telling me," Xiaoyu curled her lip up, waiting for Jin to start talking but when he didn't, she simply sighed out in exasperation. "Fine, fine. You two are more alike than I originally thought. How long have you been calling for her, anyway?"
"About five minutes or so."
"Then, you've just wasted five minutes or so of your life. She's not there. I just spoke to her and she's in the balcony."
"Ah, dammit!" Jin cried out in frustration and started to walk around Xiaoyu when she held his elbow, stopping him in his tracks.
"I wouldn't go there, if I were you," she warned. "Asuka's quite upset. Both of you need to cool your heads down first or else you might end up with an even bigger argument."
"Hmm...you're right," Jin nodded. "You'd make a good mother someday."
"What was that?"
"Where'd you learn this parenting stuff, anyway?" Jin cut in. "I'm having trouble with Asuka. Dad's not much of a help. He's all zonked out in his own world which leaves me to take on the paternal role."
"I learned a bit from taking care of my kid cousins," Xiao had a rosy tint on her cheeks. "The secret is patience, patience and patience. You have to learn to listen too and not just let your anger speak for you."
"Easier said than done," Jin started to smile until a loud voice bounced along the hallway.
"JIN! You and your sister better...oh," Kazuya stopped and looked disapprovingly at Ling Xiaoyu, who gave him just about the same look. His usually clean, slick hair was quite ruffled and his eyes were glazed with fury. Sweat poured down from his temples and his tie was loose.
"D-dad...my former classmate back in high school: Ling Xiaoyu."
"Ohayo, Mishima-san."
"Whatever," Kazuya snapped back to his son. "Find Asuka. The three of us are going to have a talk...in my office," he pivoted sharply and marched along the carpeted hallway before disappearing down the stairs.
"What was that all about?" Xiaoyu turned to Jin for answers, but found him with a pale face.
"Family business," Jin replied, a tight not forming at the pit of his stomach.
