Parenthood

Chapter 32

In the meanwhile, Nina was back at the G Corporation. Steve was in shock and the medical team had to work fast.

Miharu was in panic when she saw him unconscious, all covered in blood. She had begged him not to go, but he wanted to help the others, especially after what happened to Julia.

-'Will he be alright?'-Yuu asked Kazumi.

-'Can't you go there to check it out?'-Christie asked.

-'Sure…'-Kazumi disappeared in a flash.

-'Here…take a shower and dress this!'-Kira said to Anna giving her some clothes.

Anna took them and before going to the bathroom, she approached Nina.

-'I didn't mean this to happen…and I don't want him to die!'

-'What happened?'-Christie asked, sitting down besides Nina.

-'He was shot…'-she said.

Dr.B. entered the room in that moment and he approached them with Kazumi behind him.

-'So?'-Nina asked.

-'He's alive…we have to extract the bullet. Fortunately it didn't hit the lungs, but he lost a lot of blood.'

-'Will he live?'-Nina asked.

-'Yes, I believe so but we need blood to make a transfusion…the problem is that we don't have compatible blood…'

-'What?'-everyone asked surprised.

-'This is not a Hospital…'

-'But will he be alright?'-Miharu asked with tears in her eyes.

-'We can't tell now! Only after the surgery! We are going to administrate him the universal blood which is O negative, but it's not enough.'

-'Can't we do some tests?'-Yuu asked.-'To see if some of us are compatible…'

-'We can try! But a family donor would be ideal.'-Dr.B. said looking at Nina.

-'Steve doesn't know his real parents…'-Miharu said.

-'I know…that's a shame! But we'll do our best!'

Dr.B left but Nina followed him to another room.

-'Use my blood. I'm his mother…'

-'We can't.'

-'Why not?'

-'Your blood changed while you were in cryosleep.'

-'Shit…what about Anna's?'

-'It won't work either! I'm sorry…'

-'So…he'll die…'

-'The universal blood can put him in shock and he may have a cardiac arrest if he rejects the blood or it can save him…for now I think it's a good chance…but we could also...'

-'What?'

-'We can use his father's blood!'

-'I told you…I don't know who his father is!'

-'That's true…you don't…but I do…'

-'What?'

-'Heihachi ordered me to use Kazuya's cells. The baby could help us to understand the devil gene a bit more…but I got it wrong and I didn't use Kazuya's cell…'

-'So, Kazuya is not the father?'

-'No…Lee is.'

-'Lee? You mean Chaolan?'

-'Yes. When Steve was only an embryo…I manipulated his genetic code so no one could see my mistake, especially Heihachi.'

-'So…that's why Steve only looks like me…'

-'Yes. I manipulated his physical constitution…his eyes, his hair…'

-'I can't believe you knew all this…'

-'I didn't think it was a good idea to tell you…'

-'You thought wrong…'

-'Sorry. But the thing is I checked and Lee's blood can save Steve…so you have to go and get him back!'

-'Alright…you do the surgery…and I'll be here with Chaolan as soon as I can!'-Nina left and she was going to the jeep when Anna showed up. She was wearing black pants and a green top. She looked more natural with those clothes, because everyone was used to see her with long dresses or mini-skirts that would make her older and provocative.

-'I'm going with you!'-she said to her sister.

-'Why?'

-'Because…he's my nephew…'

-'Since when do you care about family?'

-'I don't care…but it's not fair, is it?'

-'Fair? What do you know about fairness?'

-'I may not know much, but I want to go! Besides the sooner we solve this, the sooner we go back to the tournament!'

-'Fine! Kazumi…tell Kira we're going to get Lee back!'-Nina said.

-'Yes, Miss Williams!'

-'I want to go too…I'm worried with Xiao!'-Jinrei announced.

-'Fine!'-Nina said.

In the military base, Jun had just prevented Heihachi to turn on the genotransfer.

-'What are you doing? I told you to get rid of the girl!'-Heihachi shouted.

-'I'm sorry…but I can't let you do this!'

-'Very well…Asuka!'-Jinpachi said.-'You did a nice job with Jun…'

-'Shut up father!'-Heihachi yelled.-'Do you think this is funny?'

-'Of course I do…'

In that moment Jin opened his eyes.

He wasn't feeling too good. His chest was hurting and his arms and legs were dormant. His head was hurting and he could feel his temperature rising. Suddenly black marks appeared in his chest and forehead. The only thing he could think off was Ling, and someone was putting her life in danger.

His anger was rising by the minute and Jin could feel his mind and his heart being consumed by hate.

-'Ling…'-he whispered.

-'Jin! Are you alright?'-Asuka got up and joined him but he didn't look at her.

Kazuya and Lee were waking up too, but Jin didn't even notice them.

-'Jin's out of control!'-Jinpachi said.

-'Not for too long…'-Heihachi said. He bent down and took Ling's body from the ground.-'You better calm down, grandson…or your girlfriend will suffer!'

Jin managed to free himself and watched Ling in Heihachi's arms. He was studying the situation carefully.

-'Let her go…'-Asuka said.-'You're making things worse.'

Jin wasn't thinking straight, all he wanted to do was to beat the hell out of Heihachi, so he attacked him.

Heihachi had only time to throw Ling to the floor, but fortunately Asuka caught her just in time.

She checked her friend's pulse and realised that she was only sleeping.

As for Jun, her mind was still confused and that was the reason why she wasn't moving, besides her eyes were focused on Kazuya. She approached him slowly, while Jin was blocking an uppercut from Heihachi.

-'Jun?'-Kazuya asked.-'Is that you?'

-'Kazuya…'-she whispered, and then suddenly she hugged him and kissed him. All her memories were coming back.

When Kazuya got free, Heihachi was throwing Jin's body against the wall, and he blacked out for some minutes.

-'I need the devil gene!'-Heihachi said.-'Will I have to knock you out too, Kazuya?'

-'Yes, you will…father!'

-'So…here we are again, huh?'-Heihachi said.-'Last year I almost won!'

-'This time you won't!'-Kazuya announced.

-'Exactly!'-Jun supported him.-'This time, I'll fight too!'

Jun and Kazuya attacked. Knowing each other so well, they were also a very good team. Jun hit Heihachi with a spin kick and when Heihachi was going to fall, Kazuya grabbed his arm and kick him hard on the stomach. Heihachi took a few steps back and fell on his knees. He couldn't understand how Jun and Kazuya were suddenly so strong.

-'Ling! Wake up…please!'-Asuka cried. She was trying to wake Ling up in order to go help Jun and Kazuya, but she didn't want to leave Ling alone.-'Jin needs you!'

With a few more strikes Heihachi fell on the ground unconscious. Kazuya was bleeding from his lip, but he was alright.

He bent down to check Jin and saw that he was ok. At least he didn't have anything broken.

Ling opened her eyes, while Jun was untying Lee.

-'Hey…'-Asuka said smiling.-'How do you feel?'

-'Dizzy…and confused…what happened?'

-'Everything is alright now!'

-'I don't remember very well…where are we?'

-'Jinpachi took you and we…'-Asuka was going to tell her the whole story but suddenly, Kazuya was thrown with violence against the door. Everyone saw Jin rising up with an evil look on his face.

-'Jin lost again, against his hate!'-Jun said sadly.

Kazuya got up slowly and grabbed his ribs; he knew he had two maybe three ribs broken.

-'Jin?'-Ling asked surprised to see him there.

-'What's wrong with him?'-Asuka asked with fear.

-'We need to make him come back to us!'-Jun said.

-'How?'-Kazuya asked.

-'I don't know. I can't reach him this time.'-Jun said feeling hopeless.

-'What does that mean?'-Kazuya asked.

-'It means that Jin is trapped inside of his own hate and he doesn't let anyone help him!'

Jin looked at his grandfather on the ground and then watched everyone around the room. Jinpachi was still lying on a bed with his hands tied up. Kazuya and Lee were side by side. Asuka was with Ling, and Jun was in front of the girls.

Without even thinking, Jin attacked Kazuya.

-'We have to stop him!'-Asuka shouted.-'He'll kill his father!'

-'That's Jin's real powers!'-Jinpachi announced.-'But he still has the Kazama blood on his veins…'

-'I can't stop him!'-Jun said.-'He closed his mind and his heart…'

Lee was trying to help Kazuya, but Jin was really strong. Actually, he was stronger than before.

-'Come on…Kazuya….hit him!'-Lee shouted grabbing Jin from behind.

-'It would be easier if some of my ribs weren't broken.'-Kazuya replied.

Ling stood up and she gathered all of her courage. She walked towards Jin in the moment that Lee and Kazuya were thrown to the floor like rag dolls.

-'Ling! Don't go!'-Asuka yelled when she saw that Jin was going to punch her.

But his fist never hit her because Ling pulled him into a long kiss. When she pushed him away, Jin had returned to normal and he was losing his strengths. He saw the room spinning around and fell on Ling's arms.

-'Asuka…mom…Ling…'-he said before fainting.

-'Ok…fun is over!'-Jinpachi said breaking the chains around his hands and rising up.-'I enjoyed my nap, but I guess it's enough…'

Kazuya and Lee took their fighting positions when they saw Jinpachi grabbing a gun. He fired a shot that hit Heihachi's left arm.

-'I just don't want him to wake up now!'-Jinpachi said, and then he bent down and picked up his son.-'Heihachi committed too many mistakes in this life!'

-'Where are you taking him?'-Lee asked.

-'To a place where he won't harm anyone else!'

-'Why?'

-'Because this war between the Mishimas needs to end! We'll make a deal…Lee, you'll take care of the Mishima Zaibatsu for now…'

-'What?'

-'You have been doing a good job, but don't push it, or I'll be back! What do you say?'

-'Alright…I will take care of everything…'

-'Ok…as for you Kazuya…you have a heart, don't forget about that and start using it!'

Jinpachi was going to the door when he stopped in front of Jin, Ling and Asuka.

Asuka was trying to wake Jin up. She was shaking him and suddenly when her hands touched the marks on his chest, Jin opened his eyes.

Jinpachi smiled.

-'Tough kid…he had to be your son, Kazuya!'-Jinpachi said and bent down.

Kazuya reacted, but Jun hold his arm because she knew that Jinpachi didn't want to hurt Jin.

-'You surprised me, Jin…'-Jinpachi started.-'But you need to do your best in the near future…I'm counting on you!'

-'What do you mean?'-Ling asked.

-'You'll know when the time comes! But I'm sure that in the future the Mishima Empire will be inherited by someone pure…I'll see you again Jin Mishima!'

As soon as Jinpachi left the cave with Heihachi, a black car was arriving with Dr. Abel and Bryan. Jinpachi got in and they were gone as fast as they appeared.

-'So…do you want to tell me what happened?'-Dr. Abel asked.

-'Nothing much…lets just say that my Empire will have a decent heir soon…'

-'So you didn't chose any of them?'

-'Nope! I have to wait nine months to see if my Empire will be inherited by a boy or a girl.'

-'Isn't that your stupid son?'-Bryan asked with an evil look pointing at Heihachi.

-'Yes…but he's not that stupid! He fooled everyone twice…so I guess I have to give him some credits! Now…lets go home, I'm tired and I need a shower!'

In the cave, Baek, Paul, Lei and Eddie had just arrived. Baek had been shot in one arm, but it was just a scratch. They had fought against the army bravely and finally they had managed to make a soldier say Heihachi's location. But it was over. There was no Jinpachi, no Heihachi and everyone looked alright.

-'Who's she?'-Kazuya asked Jun watching Asuka closely.

Jun looked at the young girl who was helping Jin getting up.

-'Is she your cousin, your nice, or our…'

-'I'm sorry Kazuya…I didn't remember you or Jin earlier…'

-'It's ok…but tell me who is she? She touched Jin and he woke up!'

-'Hey…guys…there's a jeep coming towards the base!'-Eddie announced outside.

Everyone left the cave. They recognised Nina, Anna and Jinrei, who were coming to meet them.

Nina hugged Lee unexpectedly.

-'Jun…I need answers! Is this girl our…'-Kazuya didn't finish his sentence because Jun was gone. He turned around and she wasn't there.

-'JUN!'-he shouted, making everyone stop.

Kazuya heard some noises among the trees and left running.

-'Mom? Father?'-Jin muttered, still feeling weak.

Lee was going to follow his brother but Nina stopped him.

-'Let him go! We need you!'

-'I just need to tell him something!'

-'Steve's in danger! And he needs you!'-Anna said.-'Now get your ass in the jeep otherwise I'm going to knock you out!'

Lee looked at Nina and saw that Anna was speaking the truth so he entered the jeep.

-'Are you ok, Xiao?'-Jinrei asked to Ling.

-'Yes…I'm sorry if I worried you!'

-'I should be the one saying sorry…I was with Jinpachi. But I would never let anything bad happen to you!'

-'I know…we'll talk later!'

Ling and Jin didn't talk much on their way to the G Corporation's base. The tension was breath taking. Miharu was crying in Christie's arms and Yuu was pale because he had been giving blood to Steve, Yuu's blood was O negative. Kazumi was talking to him to convince him to eat something.

As soon as Lee arrived, Nina took him to Dr.B so he could explain everything.

-'I can't be his father…I can't have kids!'-Lee said.

-'You could when you were fifteen…I have your cells since you were a teenager…it was your father's orders!'

It was a shock for Lee to know that he was a father, and he was sure that he had also been a shock for Nina.

-'Will you save him?'-Nina asked.

-'I'll try…'-he finally said.

-'Lets go!'-Dr.B. said.

In the meanwhile Asuka, Baek, Ling and Jin were also with a medical team.

After that, Jin, Asuka and Ling joined Miharu and she told them about Steve and Julia. There were no words to describe their feelings about that. Ling started crying, Asuka managed to hold the tears and Jin got up from the couch and asked for Hwoarang.

-'He's still unconscious…but the doctor said he will wake up soon.'

Jin took a deep breath and went to talk to Lei, who was on the phone with his boss.

-'I want to go to Mishima…'-Jin said to Lei when he hung up the cell phone.

-'We can't go there! The authorities will make questions! Are you ready to answer them?'

-'No…but Julia…she…it was my fault!'

-'No…it wasn't! She went for you and the others, but no one forced her!'

-'Last year…I almost got Hwoarang killed….and now…she died!'-Jin looked down.

-'It wasn't your fault!'

-'Would you think the same way if you were Hwoarang?'

Lei shrugged.

-'What happened in that cave, Jin?'-Lei asked.

-'I'm not sure…but Jinpachi never meant to harm us…'

-'What happened to Heihachi?'

-'He was taken. Jinpachi will take care of everything…But please…take me to Mishima…I need to see if she's dead!'

-'I'm sorry…I spoke with the Mishima police, they said they found several bodies…burned and unrecognisable. I'm going back to Fuji-Nion…to solve things with the tournament's committee. I'll see you there!'

Lei, Paul and Jinrei left to Fuji-Nion immediately. Lei didn't know what to say to the committee but he was thinking about a way to omit some parts of that story.

In the meanwhile Jun was trying to understand what had just happened. Kazuya had lost her track in the forest but he wasn't going to give up. He had thought she was gone forever, but she wasn't. His hopes were broken, but not anymore. Kazuya looked at the sky and promised that he would find Jun no matter what happened.
