(A/N): I am so sorry. I am just horrible, aren't I? Yep, just admit. I hope I can try to make things run faster, but you know...I did find out there is a Tekken 6 in the making. Yeah, I looked it up on google. So? Alright, fine, read the story. Thanks SAILOR TO YOUR MOON for reviewing, you are awesome!

I slid down the door. My brothers were asleep, and father was up in his room. My mother must of called him. Tears openly rolled down my cheeks, I felt a warm hand on my shoulder.

I ran into the night, trying to make the words I had just heard escape my head. The rain was cold. I fell to the ground crying. Footsteps echoed behind me, I tried to get up, but a hand grabbed my wrist and pulled me to his chest. I sobbed, I pounded my fist into him gently, and he stood there, caressing my hair, whispering, until I looked up at him. His eyes bore into mine, drips of water from his nose falling onto my face. "Do not listen to him.. All he knows is lies."

"Jin…"

I scoffed. My grandfather is dying in the hospital and all I can think of is Jin, stupid me. He left you, Xiao, he went away without telling you.

I moped up the stairs, confused between missing Jin and worrying about my grandfather. I would have to face telling the kids what happened tomorrow, or lying to them. I whipped my door open, flicking the light on with force. A beaming Miharu was at my door. I slammed my hand down on the light, and fell on my bed into a dreamless sleep.

"Ling! Ling! Mother is missing! She is GONE, poof! What do we do!"

Piyite, the youngest one was screaming and tugging at my sleeves, and the older was staring down at me with eyes wide with horror.

"Her and grandfather took a trip."

"Really? Where?"

"Away for a couple weeks, mother will be back before grandfather though, because she loves you too much to stay away."

"Ooohhhh, ok…let's go Ryu." Piyite smiled at his companion. Ryu looked at me long and hard, then followed his brother out of my door.

I ran my hand through my tousled hair, yawning as I did so. I made my bed, which wasn't really all that badly messed up, and changed clothes. I didn't want to take a shower just yet. Wandering down the stairs, I saw the two boys playing at the table.

I heaved a sigh, "What do you want this morning, boys?"

"Donuts." Ryu said, not bothering to raise his eyes to me.

"How about some porridge, that sound good?"

"We have that every morning."

"I'll put extra honey in it." I folded my hands together and got on my knees as if I really, really wanted them to eat it.

"Fine." They both retorted in unison, both of them managing a little smile.

I walked outside after cleaning up after breakfast, maybe a little training would do. Since I won't have a mentor…

Thanks for reading and review!
