Chapter 7: Unfaithful

"You told that woman about us!" Jin trudged along the hallway, trying his best to slow his pace. Asuka was also in no hurry to climb up to their father's office.

"I didn't tell her much," Asuka defended. "I was even vaguer with her than with Xiao."

"Oh? How come she knows my name?" Jin challenged.

"I didn't tell her your name," Asuka squeezed her brows in confusion. "At least, I don't remember telling her."

"She could be a spy. Didn't you think about that?" Jin scolded. "People are after us. You shouldn't go making friends at this point in time."

"What do you want me to do? Become rude and insensitive like you!" Asuka spat. Jin had to bite his tongue to keep himself from lashing out.

"Relax...relax. Remember what Xiao said..." Jin chanted to himself, his eyes shut tight.

"Uh-oh..." Asuka mumbled.

"What?"

"We went the wrong way," Asuka approached the window at the corridor and pointed out. "See? Dad's office is on the other side!"

"Oh. Guess I forgot. It's been a long time since I last explored this house. Come on," Jin motioned for his sister to follow him. Then, they heard what sounded like a slap, followed by an ear-splitting scream.

"Get away from me! Let...GO!"

Suddenly, the door nearest to them burst open and a woman came out, hurriedly putting on her shades and positioning her scarf around her head.

"Ms. Castinelli!" Jin's jaw dropped, as did Asuka's. Eva Castinelli gasped when she saw them. Though her eyes were obscured by her dark glasses, tears were trickling down her pale cheeks.

"Eva..." Asuka took a step forward. "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Stay away from me," Eva growled, in a voice so unlike her own, her finger pointing threateningly at them. "All of you! Stay away from me!"

The siblings watched in disbelief as the woman, who had previously been very nice, hastily making her way towards the staircase. Her threats still hung in the stale air, gluing the Kazamas to their spot.

Just when they thought they couldn't be more surprised, a man came out of the room Eva had just fled from. He had a reddish imprint of what looked like a hand on his left cheek and an obvious smudge of red lipstick on his lips. When he turned his bloodshot eyes to the people gawking at him, he froze.

"D...Dad!"
