Chapter Five: Truths and Lies

Dismissal time came and everyone spilled out of their classrooms. "Guys, let's all walk home together!" Xiaoyu suggested

"Walk? Well, ain't it gonna be more fun if we ride Jin's limo?" Hwoarang asked

"No. Walking is much more fun!"

"Whatever"

"Let's go, then!" They all got out of the school campus and walked home. Xiaoyu was brought home first. Then Hwoarang. Jin and Julia were left.

"So, um, do you have any special reason why you're here in Japan?" Jin asked

"What do you mean?"

"Uh, you know there are other countries but why Japan?"

"Um, no special reason. I just wanted to learn more of Japan" Julia lied.

"Oh"

"So, bye" Julia said as she saw her apartment ahead.

"Yeah, bye"

The next day, Jin went to his first class. "Okay, class, you have to pick out books for your book reports. All the books are available in the library." The teacher announced and the class groaned.

"Do we have to?" Hwoarang said out loud.

"Yes, Hwoarang"

After an hour of the teacher's boring discussion, it was already break time. Jin headed to the library to look for the book. He was about to get a table when he saw Julia. She was sitting on a table in the corner. She looked like she was crying. Jin went to her. "Julia," he said softly. She looked up as Jin wiped away a tear.

"Jin," she said stiffly

"Why are you crying? What's the matter?"

"I-it's my mom"

"What happened?" Jin asked, full of concern

"She's gone"

"Gone?"

"I mean passed away"

"Don't worry. I know how you fell. My mother's gone, too. Everything's gonna be okay. You'll see" Jin said as he buried Julia's face on his chest for comfort. There was silence.

"Jin?" Julia finally spoke up

"Yeah?"

"Remember what I told you yesterday about being here in Japan because I want to learn more about it?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Well, I lied. I came here to find my mother who was captured by that evil Heihachi Mishima when she joined the Iron Fist Tournament. And now, I just received a letter from father saying that he killed her" Julia sobbed

"What?!" Jin asked in shock "Heihachi Mishima?" Grandfather... He shook his head, "Are you really sure?"

"I guess so. Do you know him?" Julia asked looking up

"Um, uh, no. Yeah, I don't know him. No relation, no nothing." Jin fumbled nervously

"Oh. Thanks anyway, Jin"

The following day, Julia was walking along the corridor when Hwoarang came up to her. "Hey"

"Hi Jules. So what's up?"

"Um, nothing."

"Yeah, well, you know something weird happened to me, and I was like-" Hwoarang started to say but Julia somehow interrupted him.

"My mother died"

"Huh?"

"My mother died"

"She did?"

"Yeah, she did"

"So how'd she die?" Hwoarang asked curiously

"Someone named Heihachi Mishima or something like that killed her"

"Really?!" Hwoarang asked in disbelief

"Yeah. You know him?"

"I sure fucking do!"

"Do you know where he lives? Do you know anybody related to him? Do you know where the Zaibatsu is?"

"No. But I know someone who does. And he lives with him, too."

"Really? Who?"

"Jin" Hwoarang replied simply

"Jin? But... but he said he didn't know Heihachi Mishima"

"Oh. But I know something else. Something much, much worse. He didn't tell ya, did he?"

"Tell me what?"

"That Heihachi, the old fart is his grandfather"

"HE IS?!" Julia shook Hwoarang very hard, as though trying killing him.

"Yup. He sure is"

"But... but..."

"So, little Jinny lied..." Hwoarang said with a smirk "Whaddya gonna do about it now?"

"Are you in this scam, too?"

"No. I refuse to do anything with the Mishimas"

"Excuse me for a while. I wanna think this over" Juia said, sighing loudly.


Jin walked along the street wanting to go lie down on his bed. It was nine o' clock and he had just left school because he had a project to finish. But he had lots to think about. Mainly, Julia. I had to lie to her... He passed by the park and saw Julia sitting on a swing with her head bent low. He ran up to her. "Hey, Julia. What are you doing all by yourself here?"

Julia stood up and gave Jin an icy stare "I can't believe you!" she suddenly burst out and tears started trickling down her face.

"Wh-why?" Jin asked nervously

"Oh nothing. You just lied to me! About this one thing I really needed to find out!"

"But... but I can explain. You see-"

"I don't need any more of your lies, Jin Kazama! Go away!" and with that, she ran out.

"Wait!" Jin called but she was already gone
