I don't own Tekken.

Thanks to all the readers.

A/Note: I checked on a Japanese dictionary and "Honmaru" it's like the upper floor from a tower of an ancient Japanese castle. So whenever I refer "Honmaru" you know that I'm talking about a high place ok?

Jyu: Well, the thing is, Jinrei vowed to help his best friend Jinpachi and he also wants to end the Mishima's curse and all the fights involving the Mishima family.

Astral Slayer Asuka: So…Tom wants them to be brother and sister, huh? As I said before…I will only decide in the end…but there is a high chance that Asuka's his sister, ok? Don't worry…

Art-Freak: Thank you so much for your review. I hope you like this chapter too.

Devil Billy Kazama: Thank you for reviewing. I really enjoyed your last chapter and I hope everything will be alright for you.

Chapter 28

Pleas

MISHIMA CITY

Everything was quiet in Mishima, especially in the Mishima mansion, where Jinpachi, Dr. Abel, Jinrei and Bryan were.

-'What will you do when Jin arrives?'-Jinrei asked.

-'I'll make him come to me on his own.'-Jinpachi said.

-'Wouldn't be easier to go and talk to him?'

-'No…it wouldn't be fun! Besides, Jin won't come alone…we'll be with his friends.'

-'And what will happen to his friends?'

-'I guess I'll have to entertain them, won't I?'

-'With what?'

-'I have a little surprise…something that Heihachi was working on and he was saving for a special occasion.'

-'Just promise me that no one will get hurt!'

-'Well…that depends on how good fighters Jin's friends are…by the way…you should be checking on Xiaoyu…'

When Jinrei left, Jinpachi called Bryan.

-'What do you want now?'-Bryan asked.

-'After your successful mission I need to ask you another favour.'

-'What?'

-'Kazuya will be here soon and I want you to bring him to me.'

-'Fine! Can I use force?'

-'Only if you have to.'

-'What do you want from that little girl?'

-'I told you…no questions after the job is done! You brought her and that's it! Pretend that you didn't know her, ok?'

-'Whatever!'

-'I guess it's time for me to see young Xiaoyu…'

Jinpachi left the room and Bryan sat down on the couch and turned the TV on.

-'I hate Japanese channels…'-he complained.

In the meanwhile, in the second floor, Ling was sleeping tied up to a bed. Dr. Abel had collected a blood sample and he was waiting for the test results. Jinrei was holding her hand.

-'How's our sleeping beauty?'-Jinpachi asked arriving.

-'She's fine.'-Dr. Abel said.-'She's sleeping like an angel.-'So…have you been thinking about what to say to your heirs?'

-'No, not really…'

-'For how long will Xiao be in this bed…tied up like this?'-Jinrei asked worried.

-'Until Jin arrives…he has to see her like this.'

-'Poor Xiao…'

Jinpachi approached her and put a hand on her forehead. He immediately took it back.

-'What's wrong?'-Jinrei asked.

-'She has the devil gene…and…'

-'And what?'

-'I'll have to change my plans…'

-'What do you mean?'

-'This girl is the answer to my troubles!'

Dr. Abel and Jinrei were confused.

-'But she's not a Mishima!'-Dr. Abel said.

-'No, she's not! But she's carrying one!'

-'WHAT?'-Jinrei asked surprised.

-'Your precious little girl is pregnant! I guess Jin's being busy…'-Jinpachi laughed.

-'No, she's not! How can you tell that?'

-'Believe me…I know!'

-'But…you only touched her…I have to do a couple of tests!'-Dr. Abel announced.-'Just to be sure!'

-'Go ahead.'-Jinpachi said.

-'Xiao is smarter than that! I'm sure you're wrong!'

-'Xiao is a woman and Jin is a man! Life takes its course and they have created a new life! There's nothing you can do about it!'

-'But…'

-'Your little girl is not so innocent anymore, is she?'

-'He did this to her!'-Jinrei said angrily.

-'Jin's not the one to blame. This child was created by love…'

-'You're right! She's pregnant…and I think that this child will have the devil gene as well.'-Dr. Abel said.

-'That's not surprising since both Jin and Xiaoyu have it too. This new heir changes everything.'

-'Why?'

-'I can't kill Jin now. He's going to be a father…this kid needs to have a father like Jin.'

-'So…you'll spare Jin?'-Jinrei asked.

-'Yes. I want him to raise this boy!'

-'But we don't know if it's a boy or a girl.'-Dr. Abel said.-'It's too soon to know!'

-'It doesn't matter. I'm going to see if the Honmaru is ready…'-Jinpachi left with a grin in his face.

-'For how long is she pregnant?'-Jinrei asked.

-'A week…'

-'Xiao…you're an idiot!'-Jinrei whispered.

In the G Corporation's helicopter Lee, Nina and Anna were waiting to arrive to Mishima.

-'Did you find Kazuya?'-Nina asked Lee.

-'No! He vanished…'-Lee said, but he didn't know that Kazuya was hiding in that helicopter.

-'Who cares about that creep anyway!'-Anna said.

-'Shut up, Anna! No one asked you to come!'-Nina replied.

-'As if I would let you escape…You and I are going to fight in that tournament no matter what happens to that Chinese girl! Is that clear?'

-'You can't think about anyone else but you!'

-'Look who's talking!'

-'I helped people!'

-'And you killed people too! Just because now you think that you're Virgin Mary, doesn't mean you're a better person!'

-'Nina is not like you!'-Lee defended.

-'Oh…look…it's GOD talking!'

The three helicopters finally arrived to the Mishima airport. It was very small and usually it was only used by the firemen department to supply water when they were fighting the fires in the region.

Lei's helicopter was the first one to land, followed by Raven's. In this helicopter were also Baek, Paul, Eddie and Christie.

-'Now that we're all here…we need to start looking for a possible place where he could have taken Ling Xiaoyu.'-Lei announced.

-'The Mishimas have a mansion here.'-Lee said.-'Kazuya and I visited this mansion once or twice when we were kids.'

-'So, do you know the place?'-Lei asked.

-'Yes. I still remember…some details. It's an old house, it was supposed to be a castle, and it has secret passages and stuff like that.'

-'Do you really think he might be there?'

-'If he's a Mishima…I'm sure he would choose a place like that to hide!'

-'Ok…then lead the way!'

-'Is it a big house?'-Jin asked following his uncle.

-'Huge. It has also a little shrine in one tower…the Honmaru. Reika used to pray there to Kannon, the bodisatva of mercy!'

-'That Raven guy is weird.'-Julia said to Lei in a low voice.

-'I think he's a special agent…'

-'Of what organisation?'

-'I don't know. A secret one!'

-'He walks like a ninja…'-Hwoarang said.

The Mishima mansion wasn't very far from the small airport. When they arrived they all felt like they were outside an ancient fortress.

-'Should we knock?'-Steve asked watching the heavy wood gates.

-'No…I want two teams. One will enter by the front gate, the other will go to the backs…'-Lei said.

-'I agree.'-Raven stated, making everyone notice him.-'I'll lead the second team.'

Lee, Lei, Jin, Asuka, Nina and Paul would form the first team.

-'Anna can stay with us!'-Nina said.

-'No, I want to go with mister secret agent here!'-Anna pointed to Raven.

-'Don't be stupid Anna…'-Nina said trying to convince her.

-'Besides…'-Anna said approaching Nina and whispering.-'This way I can protect my nephew…'

Nina almost panicked when she heard her sister's words. Anna knew that Steve was her son and she was going to tell him.

-'I forbid you to say a word! Did you hear me!'-Nina shouted.

-'Shut up you both!'-Lei said.

-'Goodbye, bitch!'-Anna said waving.

-'If she opens her mouth I'm so going to kill her!'-Nina threatened.

In the meanwhile Ling was waking up. Dr. Abel was with her. At first she thought she was dreaming but then she realised that she was tied up.

-'What's going on?'-she asked confused.

-'Your boyfriend is coming…don't worry.'

-'Oh my God! You again!'-Ling said in despair.-'What are you doing with me?'

-'Nothing much…tell me…how does it fell to have the devil gene?'

-'I feel normal…Please just let me go! I won't do anything!'

-'Good. Don't worry I'm not going to hurt you!'

-'Why am I tied up? Please let me go!'

-'Orders.'

-'From who? Heihachi?'

-'No…it's not Heihachi. It's his father! Ironic, isn't it?'

Ling was speechless. She didn't know that Heihachi's father was still alive.

-'Dr. Abel…Jin's here. Prepare the girl!'-Jinpachi ordered through a speaker.

Dr. Abel took out a syringe and Ling started crying.

-'What are you going to do?'-she asked.-'Jin…please help me!'

-'This is to help you sleeping. But it's not very strong…I can't risk due to your delicate condition…'

-'Delicate condition?-Ling repeated but then she fell asleep.

The front gate was now closing after Lee and the others got in.

-'I want Jin and Lee separated from the others!'-Jinpachi said.-'As for you, bring me Kazuya!'-Jinpachi ordered Bryan.

-'Kazuya is not on the screens!'-Dr. Abel said.

-'But he's here! I can feel it!'

-'Lee and the others are in the hall!'-Dr. Abel announced.

Bryan left the room to search for Kazuya, who was already inside of the huge house.

The Mishima mansion was decorated with ancient objects and furniture, but it was quite beautiful.

-'So now what?'-Nina asked.

-'Now, we search for Ling in each room of this stupid mansion!'-Jin said, opening the first door.

-'What if she isn't in any of these rooms?'-Asuka asked.

-'She has to be!'

-'I told you that there are secret rooms and passages…if he's a Mishima, I'm sure he knows that!'-Lee said.

-'Like an underground?'-Paul asked.

-'Probably…but in the upper floors there are some rooms who have secret passages too. I discovered one with Kazuya; it linked our room to the kitchen downstairs.'

-'Look!'-Asuka said pointing to the ceiling.

-'Surveillance cameras…'-Lei said watching them closely.

-'She's here! I'm sure she is!'-Jin said convinced.

Jin watched all the rooms in that floor. Some rooms were all the same, they only had a little couch, a mirror on the wall and a little table with a statue. The windows had metal bars.

-'This house is very old…in the ancient times, they would decorate several rooms the same way too confuse a possible robber or the enemies…during the samurai wars.'-Lee explained right behind Jin.

-'I see…what about the metal bars?'

-'That's new…they weren't here when Kazuya and I were kids.'

Jin walked into another room, but this one had a fireplace and it was decorated like the European style, with curtains and modern furniture. There was a picture on the wall. It was a family photo.

-'Who are they?'-Jin asked. Everyone was reunited watching the photo.

-'That's Heihachi.'-Lee said.-'When he was a kid…and that must be his brother Seichi. They're with their parents…Tomomi and Kazukyo Mishima.'

-'My great-grandparents!'-Jin said.

-'This is the last room…we have to go upstairs.'-Asuka said leaving. To her that house was really creepy; she didn't like to be there at all.

-'Ok…lets go!'-ordered Lee.

-'Why are the Mishimas fighting each others?'-Asuka asked Lei.

-'I don't know…I guess this is all for power!'

-'But Jin doesn't want power! He only wants Ling back!'

-'Jin's an easy target.'-Lee said.

-'Why?'

-'Because he's a good person!'-Nina said.-'There aren't many people like him these days!'

Asuka was still a bit confused but she decided not to ask more questions.

In the first floor, there were at least more than twelve rooms, so they started to look for Ling immediately.

-'Sir…we have a security breech in the underground level.'-Dr. Abel announced.

-'Is it Kazuya?'-Jinpachi asked.

-'I don't think so…'

-'So…there are more of Jin's friends…put the cameras on!'

-'I can't…someone managed to disconnect all the cameras.'

-'Who?'

-'I don't know…'

-'Great…well never mind. Take Xiaoyu and Jinrei to Honmaru…I'll be there in a few seconds.'

-'And then what?'

-'I'll call Jin and Lee!'

Dr. Abel did what Jinpachi told him.

Jin and Lee were in the same room when suddenly the TV was on and a face of an old man showed up.

-'Hi there! I'm Jinpachi Mishima…I want to talk to you both as soon as possible, so I'm waiting patiently for your arrival. Ling Xiaoyu is with me! So if you want to meet her…come to me!'

-'Where are you?'-Jin asked violently.

-'Behind the mirror on the wall, there's a secret passage. Go down the stairs and then turn left. You'll see an elevator.'

The TV went black and Jin and Lee discovered the secret passage. They started to go down the stairs.

-'We should've warned the others!'-Jin said when they arrived to a corridor in the end of the stairs.

-'It seems that we're in a sublevel…this was probably used to escape outside in the ancient times!'-Lee said, noticing that the place where they were had been built of stone and that the electricity had been installed recently.

-'Where's the stupid elevator?'-Jin asked turning left.

Then suddenly, the wall moved and revealed an elevator behind it.

-'I told you there were many secrets in this old house!'-Lee declared.

-'What the hell does this Jinpachi wants from us?'-Jin asked as the elevator door was closing.

-'Who knows…'

They only stopped in the sixth floor. When the door was opened, Jin saw they where in some kind of room that looked like a temple. There were some golden statues of Kannon in a little sanctuary. The temple was surrounded by a balcony and they could see the Mishima city almost completely.

Jin looked at the sky and saw the dark clouds coming, and then he noticed Ling. She was behind Jinpachi, lying in a bed, with her hands tied up. She seemed to be sleeping.

-'We are finally together, boys…'-Jinpachi said.

-'You want the devil gene…don't you? I'll give it to you! I'll do whatever you want, but you have to let her go!'-Jin said.-'Please…just let Ling go!'

-'Well…Jin, I'm glad you'll do anything I want…but first…lets just talk! We have so much to say to each other! I'm just waiting for a person to arrive!'

Jin and Lee listened to the elevator arriving and Bryan Fury got out bringing someone with him.

-'Kazuya! Welcome!'-Jinpachi said with a grin on his face.
