Chapter 41 – part 1

New Generation

EAST-OSAKA

12th NOVEMBER 2014

Julia was now working in the Archaeology and History Department in a Museum in Osaka.

She was enjoying her job but she was starting to have some problems, because the symptoms were now showing. After all she was now three months pregnant.

She was always sick in the morning and the fact that she had a fight with Hwoarang last night was really upsetting her that day.

Hwoarang had told her that she shouldn't work due to her condition, but Julia didn't share that opinion. She wanted to work; she couldn't stay all days doing nothing only because she was pregnant.

In the meanwhile, Hwoarang had also decided that it was time to say to the others what was happening, so he called Eijiro and ordered him to sit down.

-'What's up?'-Eijiro asked.

-'I need to tell you something…something important!'

-'What?'

-'I'm going to be a father.'

-'Yeah…right…'-Eijiro laugh.

-'I'm serious.'

-'What? Are you joking?'

-'No!'

-'Is Julia preg…'

-'Yes, she is.'

-'Are you sure?'

-'Yes.'

-'No way!'

-'Yes.'

-Oh God!'

-'Will you shut up? She's pregnant!'

-'What are you going to do?'

-'I need your help!'

-'What for?'

-'I'm going to be a father, so I can't be your leader anymore! I want you to help me to choose a new leader for the Tsunamis.'

-'We don't need a new leader!'

-'Come on, Eijiro…I'm going to have responsibilities…my son and Julia will always be first from now on!'

-'Julia was always first since you met her, and we didn't need a new leader then!'

-'Things are different now!'

-'Let me talk to them first!'

-'What for? I know what they'll say!'

-'Please?'

-'Alright!'

Eijiro left the house and in less than an hour he managed to contact with almost all the Tsunamis. They were all reunited and Eijiro asked for silence to explain the reasons for that emergency meeting.

-'I have something to announce and I need your opinion on the issue, alright?'

Everyone yelled.

-'It seems that we're going to have a new member because Hwoarang is going to be a father!'

The silence fell among the crowd.

-'So?'-asked Maki to brake the silence.

-'Hwoarang thinks that you will not accept him as a leader no more!'

All the Tsunamis started talking at the same time.

-'Are you ready to accept a new member in this group?'-Eijiro asked.

-'YES!'-a huge crowd yelled.

-'Do you want Hwoarang to be our leader?'

-'Yes…of course we do!'-Maki said.

-'We don't want him to quit!'-said another Tsunami.

-'So is anyone here against Hwoarang's leadership?'-asked Eijiro.

No one answered and Eijiro smiled.

-'I'm proud of you guys!'-he said.

-'We have a mission from now on…to assure Julia's safety and Hwoarang's child too!'-Maki said.

-'And we can start making our bets!'-One announced.-'I bet it's a boy!'

Eijiro left his friends and he told Hwoarang what they had decided.

-'Really? Did they say that?'-Hwoarang asked surprised.

-'Yes!'

-'I wasn't expecting this!'

-'I was…you idiot! You should trust your friends.'

EAST-OSAKA

9th APRIL 2015

Several months had passed and everyone was getting nervous as time passed by. Julia was terrified because she would have the baby in about a month. The most terrifying thought was to be away from her mother. She wasn't alone, Masami, Eijiro, Hwoarang and many other Tsunamis were with her, but she wanted her mother.

Last month she had a big argument with Hwoarang and he was forced to sleep on the couch for three nights. After that he decided to say sorry and he explained everything to her. The fact was that Julia wanted to know why he didn't want to ask for money to her parents to prepare everything for the baby. Hwoarang was forced to admit that he had money already, only that the money wasn't his.

Julia found out that when he funded the Tsunamis, he had been forced to work for a clan linked to the Yakuza. Fortunately for Hwoarang he managed to leave the Miamoto clan and he was never too involved with the Japanese Mafia.

Julia couldn't believe when he told her that. But she knew now that this was the reason why he was always saying that he had done many stupid things in the past.

In the end, Julia had realised that he wasn't the one to blame and she allowed him to use the money.

As for Ling, her time was over. Nine months had passed and she would have the baby any time. Jin had told his uncle that they would return to Yamagawa, but Takao didn't accept that. He wanted Jin and Ling to stay until the baby was born. Jin could feel that the baby also possessed the devil gene, but it was different. Whenever he touched Ling's belly, he could feel a pure energy instead of the devil gene.

Asuka was so excited with the new coming baby that she had missed classes for two days, in case that Ling needed her help. She was doing extremely well in the University. Satome and her were becoming very famous in the Osaka University because they were in many sport teams.

Ling was going to bed when she felt the first pain. She panicked immediately. She wasn't expecting to have the baby in that moment.

Everyone was counting on Jin to hang on, but he panicked as well. It wasn't usual to see Jin panicking, but he really didn't know what to do. Takao drove them to the South-Osaka Hospital and Ling was taken to a room.

Now she was literally in panic. The pain was too much and she was alone in a room with doctors and nurses who she didn't know.

-'I want Jin here!'-she said to the doctor.

-'He can't come in…you have to do this alone…Miss Xiaoyu.'-a nurse said.-'Come on I'll hold your hand.'

-'I don't need you to hold my hand…I need you to take this baby out!'-Ling yelled.

-'Don't worry; the baby won't be there forever!'

-'Then hurry up…it's hurting like hell!'

-'You're not ready yet! You may have to wait a few more hours!'

-'Hours? Are you joking? I can't take this anymore!'

-'I had three kids and I survived…the second one is easier…'

-'Second one? You have to be kidding…I don't want a second one!'

-'That's what young girls always say…'

Ling wished she could kick that nurse really hard. How could that woman be having fun when she was in pain?

-'I wish men could have babies! I hate Jin…he did this to me!'-Ling said, but she didn't mean it, except for the part about the men having the babies instead of women. That would be fun.

EAST-OSAKA

Julia was at home, she was watching TV quietly when she felt something weird. It couldn't be the baby. She still had one more month to wait.

It was night and Hwoarang had just called to warn that he was going to be late because there was a traffic jam due to an accident on the highway.

Julia tried to stay calm and she called Mouse.

-'Mouse call Hwoarang…'

-'Why? He called just now…they're going to be late!'-Mouse said watching the film.

-'Call NOW!'

Mouse looked at her and only then he realised what was going on.

-'No…No…this can't happen to me! No! You're only eight months…'

-'Shut up and go get my bag to the room…'

-'Right!'

Julia tried to call Hwoarang but he wasn't picking up the cell phone.

-'Get the car!'-Julia said.

-'What car?'

-'Any car! You know how to drive, don't you?'

-'Yeah…but I don't have a driving license…'

-'I don't care!'

In that moment One, Masami and Daisuke arrived and Mouse sighed in relief.

-'One! I'm glad you're here…we got to take Julia to the Hospital…'

-'What?'-One and Masami asked.

-'Please…'-Mouse begged.

-'Ok…I'm going to get the car.'

-'How can you have this baby if we don't even notice that you're pregnant!'-Mouse complained.-'Couldn't you wait a few more days…?'

-'Stop complaining Mouse…'

-'Sorry!'

Some Tsunamis saw One, Mouse, Masami and Julia getting in a car and they followed them until the Hospital. When they were arriving Mouse managed to warn Eijiro.

-'Julia is on her way to the Hospital!'-Eijiro said.

-'WHAT?'-Hwoarang said.-'I can't be here…stuck in this traffic!'

Hwoarang lost his patience and turned around.

-'Are you crazy?'-Eijiro asked.-'You're going the wrong way! Here on the highway!'

-'Who cares?'

-'I do…I don't want to die today!'

When they were almost entering the east-side two police patrols forced him to stop. Lei Wulong got out of his car.

-'What the hell do you think you're doing?'-he asked furiously.

-'I don't have time for this…Julia is having my son now!'

-'Do you want your kid to be orphan so soon?'

-'No…but you're wasting my time!'

-'Come on…enter my car!'

-'You're going to arrest me?'

-'No…I'm going to take you to the Hospital…I don't want you to kill anyone…'

-'Go…I'll solve things out with the police!'-Eijiro said.

Hwoarang entered in Lei's car.

-'Can't this go any faster?'-Hwoarang complained.

-'I don't want to have an accident!'

-'Julia is giving birth!'-Hwoarang said.

-'Fine…'-Lei stepped the accelerator and watched Hwoarang.-'Nervous, huh?'

-'What do you think?'

When they finally arrived to the Hospital, many Tsunamis were waiting outside.

-'Where is she?'-Hwoarang asked his friends.

-'They arrived ten minutes ago…she's on the third floor.'-Soni said.

Hwoarang disappeared on the stairs because he didn't want to wait for the elevator.

-'So…how is she…?'-he asked when he met Roomax.

-'She's in room number nine…'

Hwoarang was going to enter the room when Roomax stopped him.

-'I want to go inside!'-Hwoarang said.

-'You can't!'

-'Why not? I said the doctor that I wanted to be with her until the end.'

-'I know…but this is complicated…'

-'What? Is she alright?'

-'I don't know…it seems that the baby is…'

Hwoarang pushed Roomax and entered the room. In that moment he heard a cry. Julia was unconscious.

In the same instant, in the South-Osaka hospital, Ling had given birth to a healthy baby. Jin had entered the room to see how she was.

-'Have you chosen a name?'-the nurse asked.

-'Yes…Jun…I want her to be called Jun.'-Ling said.

The nurse put the baby in Jin's arms and smiled.

-'I'm afraid you can't call her Jun…because you had a boy.'

Ling closed her eyes when she heard that and started crying.

-'Are you sure?'-Ling asked.-'But I was so sure it would be a girl!'

-'Sorry…'

Jin looked at the baby boy in his arms and smiled.

-'His name is Ryu Kazama.'-Jin said with pride.

Hwoarang was still watching Julia when a nurse approached him.

-'Don't you want to hold your son?'

-'It's a boy?'

-'Yes…it's a beautiful boy!'

Hwoarang had never held a baby in his life. He couldn't explain all the feelings inside of him in the moment he held his son.

-'Did you pick a name?'-the nurse asked.

-'Yes…his name is Ken Hwoarang.'

-'See? I told you she was going to be alright.'-the doctor announced.

Julia was opening her eyes.

-'Hey…'-Hwoarang said holding her hand.-'I'm so proud of you babe!'

-'Hwoarang arrived just in time.'-doctor Tamiya said.

-'It's a boy Julia…our son…'-Hwoarang placed Ken in Julia's arms and smiled proudly.

Julia wanted to cry, but she managed to smile too.

-'My dad will be so angry…'-Julia said.

Hwoarang laughed.

-'Great! I would love to see his face!'

-'Julia we need to take Ken for a few minutes, ok? And you need to rest!'-doctor Tamiya said.

-'Ok. Can you call my parents?'-Julia asked Hwoarang.

-'Sure!'

-'Please don't leave the Hospital!'-she begged before he left.

-'I won't!'-he turned back and kissed her forehead.

As soon as he left the room he opened the window in the waiting room and yelled.

-'It's a boy!'

A huge noise exploded from the Tsunamis who were waiting outside the Hospital.

Then they left to the pubs to celebrate.

-'A boy, huh?'-Lei said.-'Congratulations!'

-'Thanks Wulong…'

-'You treat her and the baby well, or I'll kill you, do you hear me?'

-'Sure daddy! Now I have to make a call!'

-'By the way…what's his name?'

-'Ken…His name is Ken.'

-'It's a boy?'-Eijiro asked when he arrived.

-'Yep! She had a boy!'-Hwoarang said happily.

-'I lost the bet…I can't believe this!'

Hwoarang was waiting for someone to pick up the phone, when finally he heard Michelle's voice.

-'Congratulations Michelle, you're an auntie now!'-Hwoarang said.

-'Oh my God! She had the baby! Mum! Dad! Is she alright?'

-'Yes…'

-'And the baby?'

-'He's fine…'

-'Is it a boy or a girl?'-Hwoarang heard Lao asking.

-'Tell your parents that Ken Hwoarang was born…at exactly ten p.m.'-Hwoarang said.

-'It's a boy!'-Michelle announced.

-'Damn it!'-shouted Lao taking the phone from Michelle's hands.-'Are you sure it's not a girl?'

-'I'm pretty sure…I can tell the difference between a boy and a girl…'

-'Well…it seems that my girl gave me a male heir…'

-'He may be your heir, but he's also my son! His name is Ken Hwoarang!'

-'Who the hell picked the name?'

-'I did! I have to go now…I'm going to see my son and my girlfriend…'

-'We'll pay you a visit very soon…'

Hwoarang hung up and sighed. He wasn't very happy to know that Lao was coming.

In South-Osaka, Jin was giving the news to Takao and Asuka.

Asuka was disappointed; she wanted Ling to have a girl too.

-'Girls are smarter…'-she said.

-'Hey! Don't say that! I was pretty intelligent…I still am…'-her father said.

-'Yes, dad…but I was so sure…'

Jin didn't want to say anything but he was glad to have a son. He would teach him how to fight like Kazuya had done with him.

-'Mr. Kazama…Miss Xiaoyu wants to have a word with you!'-a nurse said.

-'Give her a hug for us!'-Asuka said.

-'Sure.'

Jin walked in and sat down besides Ling's bed.

-'I…had a boy…another male heir…'-Ling stated.-'Sorry.'

-'So what?'-Jin asked.-'I'm so proud of you!'

-'Really?'

-'Sure. I told you I wouldn't care…'

-'Does he have the devil gene?'

Jin got up and looked at his son, sleeping on the crib.

-'Yes…but it's different…'

-'In what way?'

-'It's not like my devil gene, or my father's…it doesn't seem to be evil…'

-'Do you think he's going to be cursed?'

-'I don't know…he is a Mishima, but since Heihachi and Jinpachi are not here, I guess he'll be ok.'

-'I guess we can't go travel around the world now…'-Ling said.

-'We have to wait until Ryu grows up a bit…after that we can go…I mean the three of us!'

YOKOHAMA

Jinpachi was now living in Yokohama, the second biggest city in Japan. He was living in Dr. Abel's house.

-'Congratulations, Mr. Mishima…'-Dr. Abel announced entering the labs.-'I just had the confirmation that your heir was born tonight at ten p.m.!'

-'Is it a boy or a girl?'-Jinpachi asked.

-'A boy…a healthy little boy…'

Jinpachi smiled.

-'I guess I'll have to pay a visit to my great grandson pretty soon, huh?'

-'He's in Osaka…'

-'Did you hear that…Heihachi? You have a great grandson now…'-Jinpachi watched his son who was sleeping in a cryogenic chamber.

-'By the way…I had to check in all the Osaka Hospitals and guess what else I found out?'

-'What?'

-'Hwoarang's son was born tonight too…both boys were born exactly at the same time…'

-'Fate is playing a last card…things will be interesting…'

-'Fate?'

-'Yes…Destiny…or whatever you want to call it…these two babies will have to pass many obstacles…I guess we'll have to wait to see.'

UNITED KINGDOM

MANCHESTER

21st MAY 2015

Miharu's life had changed drastically since she had moved to London to be with Steve during his recovery.

He was now totally recovered and they were living in Manchester, his parents' hometown.

Steve was back to the boxing arenas, along with his manager, Marianne. As for Miharu she had almost fainted when she saw Steve's house in Manchester. It wasn't a house; it was a castle, literally. Steve had bought an old mansion that belonged to a British Lord. The mansion was from the eighteenth century and it was now all remodelled. It was quite beautiful. Miharu had loved it because there weren't mansions like that in Japan.

Miharu had a private driver to take her to the University, she enjoyed that at first, but soon she started to find it boring. She also had body guards. She new now what it felt like to be a famous person. She couldn't be alone in the streets for one minute or the reporters would immediately stalk her. It happened when she had lost herself in a shopping centre. Steve's mother had to contact the police and security guards to find her because she was afraid that someone could harm Miharu.

It hadn't been a very good experience. But now something huge would happen. Steve had proposed Miharu a month ago.

Miharu had accepted. How could she refuse to marry the man she loved? At first they had agreed to do only a small ceremony in the mansion, with their respective families. But now, Sarah, Steve's mother wanted her son to marry properly in the church. There was a problem though, Miharu was neither catholic nor protestant and she was afraid that her family wouldn't accept that wedding very well. But she was anxious to be in that beautiful white dress that Sarah had bought for her.

For her surprise, her parents and brothers, even Riuga, accepted the idea, so Miharu started the get ready for the big day. And the big day was the next day.

She had phoned Ling, Christie, Yuu, Julia and Asuka; she wanted her friends to be present in her wedding, but Ling, Jin, Hwoarang and Julia wouldn't make it. Their sons were born a month ago and they wouldn't travel with such a small child with them. Steve had tried to change the wedding's day, but it was impossible. At least Christie, Eddie, Yuu and Kazumi would be there.

-'I'm so sorry that they can't come…it would be so great!'-Steve said that night.

-'Yes…it would…'

-'You miss Ling, don't you?'

-'Yes…she is my best friend!'

-'I know she's happy for us, and we should be happy for her too…now she has a family of her own!'

-'I think we should pay them a visit…soon…I want to see little Ryu and Ken…'

-'Me too…but first we're going on honeymoon…'

-'Honeymoon? You haven't told me about that!'

-'It was a surprise. So…where do you want to go?'

-'I don't know…anywhere…'

-'Spain? Italy? Russia? There are so many places…'

-'I know…maybe…Canada…'

-'Canada?'

-'I saw some pictures of Montreal…and I liked it…'

-'Fine…Canada it is!'-Steve hugged her and kissed her cheek.

Miharu looked at her engagement ring and thought to herself that in the next day she wouldn't be Miharu Hirano anymore, but Miharu Fox.

-'Are you sure we didn't put too much pressure on you?'

-'Of course not!'

-'After tomorrow…there will be magazines and newspapers with us…'

-'So what? As long as we stay together, I don't care!'

MANCHESTER

22nd MAY 2015

The wedding in the church was beautiful. Miharu was really beautiful in her dress. She was nervous when she came in with her father, but as soon as she saw Steve, she calmed down.

After that, they would give a huge party in the mansion. When everyone arrived to the garden, Miharu got out of the car and ran to greet her closest friends properly. She hugged Yuu, Kazumi, Christie and Eddie and she had just started crying when someone touched her arm.

-'Were you thinking that we wouldn't show up?'-Ling asked in an angry voice.

-'Ling!'-Miharu yelled.-'You came!'

-'Duh! How could I miss this?'

-'Where's Jin?'

-'Inside…he went to check on Ryu…This trip was a chaos!'

-'I really need to see Ryu…I'm sure he's adorable!'

-'Wait until you see Ken…'-Hwoarang said showing up with Julia.

Miharu couldn't believe her eyes. A few minutes ago she thought her friends wouldn't be there with her and now they were all with her.

-'I'm so glad you came!'-Miharu said.-'Did you really have a baby?'-she asked Julia.

-'Yeah…'-she said.

-'You look exactly like before…and so do you Ling…you didn't even put on weight!'

-'How's was the trip?'-Christie asked.

-'Hell!'-Julia said sincerely.

-'Why?'-Steve asked.

-'Try to put Jin and Hwoarang in an airplane together!'-Ling said.

-'And then add a baby Jin and a baby Hwoarang.'-Julia continued.-'It was chaos!'

Everyone laughed.

-'Kazama started it!'-Hwoarang said playing the innocent.

-'I started what?'-Jin questioned arriving.

-'Oh no…not again!'-Julia and Ling said at the same time.

Before lunch, Steve and Miharu watched Ken and Ryu sleeping. There were really cute.

-'Ryu looks like Jin…a lot!'-Miharu said.-'And Ken…well…you couldn't deny he's your son…'-she added to Hwoarang.-'He has your hair…'

-'Another red hair…'-Jin said.

-'What's wrong with my hair?'

-'Nothing…'

-'Julia's father didn't want Ken to be a red hair…I guess it serves him well, huh?'-Hwoarang said.

The others laughed.

It was only when they were going to meet the other guests for lunch, when Miharu noticed Asuka. She was really beautiful in a black dress but she was too quiet.

-'Asuka? You changed a lot!'-Miharu said smiling.

-'Thanks…your dress is beautiful…'

-'Who's that?'

-'Satome…a friend of mine…you said I could bring someone…'

-'Of course. Is he your boyfriend?'

-'No. Just a friend.'

Asuka wanted to invite Roomax to go with her, but he couldn't leave the Hospital and probably he would feel misplaced, so she had managed to drag Satome.

At first he didn't want to go, but Asuka knew how to be very persuasive, besides it was just for a day.

After lunch, everyone danced and they had a very good time together.

Miharu's parents couldn't believe their daughter had married. Shinru was totally in love with that old mansion. Steve's father took him for a walk around the property to show him every detail. Riuga and Kenichi were also amazed with so many different things, food, habits. They were in a completely different world.

-'What will you do now, sister?'-Kenichi asked.

-'I'm going to Canada today!'-she announced.

-'Canada? Isn't that a cold country?'-Riuga asked.

-'Yeah…but I think it's beautiful!'

-'Steve…you married a lunatic!'-Riuga said.

-It's ok…I can handle it!'-Steve laughed.

-'How long will you be there?'-Yuu asked.

-'Two weeks.'-Miharu answered.-'I guess it's time to throw my bouquet, huh?'

Miharu pulled her friends and she threw the flowers away. Everyone watched the bouquet and it fell exactly in Kazumi's hands.

-'Only an idiot would consider the idea to marry her…'-Yuu said.-'She's too violent…'

-'Maybe you can be that idiot!'-Steve said in a low voice.

-'No way!'

-'She's pretty…And that guy over there seems to be interested in her…you better watch out.'

-'What guy? Where?'

-'I was joking…there's no guy…I guess I caught you, didn't I?'

-'Cheater!'

-'You know what Yuu? You better hurry up because you can't lose not only a battle, but also the war…you said this to me once…'

Yuu nodded.

-'I got the point!'

-'Hey…guys…'-Steve said approaching Hwoarang and Jin.-'What are you doing? A drinking contest?'

-'Sort of…'-Hwoarang answered.

-'I just want to tell you that you don't need to leave today…you must be exhausted from the trip so, you can spend the night here and you can leave tomorrow after lunch, ok?'

-'Thanks…but what about your parents?'-Jin asked.

-'It's ok…there are so many rooms…and they don't mind!'

Finally it was time for Miharu and Steve to go to the Airport. Marianne, her husband James and their son Darren joined them to say goodbye.

Miharu's parents, Riuga, Kenichi, Shinru and his wife Aiko, who had arrived a couple of days ago stayed in the Airport too, waiting for their flight back to Japan. Miharu had promised to visit them in July, on her holidays. As for the others, they stayed at Steve's place as guests. It was great, because the mansion had so many rooms that they could be isolated from Steve's parents in order not to disturb them.

The girls talked all night, watching TV and telling secrets.

-'Don't they ever shut up?'-Satome asked.

-'If they are all like Christie…no…'-Eddie said.

-'You should respect Christie a bit more…you know?'-Yuu said.

-'I respect her!'

-'Yeah…but you don't seem to care for her…'

-'But I do!'

-'Really? And do you show her that?'

-'Sometimes…'

-'Well…a girl like Christie will not wait for you forever…you know?'

-'Are you giving me a lecture?'-Eddie asked surprised.

-'No exactly…'

-'Good…'

-'Yuu's right…'-Jin said suddenly.-'If you like her…don't let this chance go…'

-'I'm going to bed!'-Eddie announced in a bad mood.

Soon, everyone was in bed. Ryu was the only one who didn't seem to be sleepy, but Ling managed to make him fall asleep when it was almost mid-night.

MANCHESTER

23rd MAY 2015

It was almost three in the morning when Jin suddenly woke up. He tried to fell asleep again but he couldn't. Something was bothering him. He didn't know what it was, but maybe it was the fact that he was sleeping in a strange place, in an old mansion and in a different country.

Jin got up and watched the full moon by the window. He felt something strange, like a cold chill.

He left the room slowly so he wouldn't wake Ling and Ryu up, and he left the house. The garden was beautiful by the moonlight. He could see some roses and the trees moving due to the wind.

In that moment Jin felt he was being watched.

-'Hey…can't you sleep?'-Hwoarang asked.

-'No…I don't know what's wrong…I guess I'm not sleepy.'

-'Me too…I feel weird…'

-'I know what you mean…'

Hwoarang and Jin started to walk along the garden.

-'Do you think you changed?'-Jin asked.

-'What?'

-'After Ken was born…did you change?'

-'I don't know…I can't really tell…but I know that now I have something that I can't mess up!'

-'I had never felt a true responsibility until now…all I want is Ryu and Ling to be happy…'

-'I understand…'

-'Aren't these guys so cute?'-a voice said suddenly.

Hwoarang and Jin turned around and saw Jinpachi holding Ken and Ryu. Both babies were sleeping.

-'You?'-Jin asked surprised.-'Let them go!'

-'Easy Jin…do you honestly think I would do anything to my heir?'

-'He's not your heir! He's my son!'

-'He's a Mishima…'

-'If you touch my son…I'll kill you!'-Hwoarang warned stepping forward.

-'Hwoarang…I'm not going to harm your child either…'

-'Then what do you want from us?'-Jin asked.

-'Hmm…I don't know how to answer that question, but I can say that it's been a month since they were born and I really wanted to see these little guys…'

-'And you came all this way…from Japan to the United Kingdom, just to see them in the middle of the night?'-Hwoarang asked.

-'Well…yes…I'm a very curious person…by the way; talking about curiosities did you know that Ken and Ryu were born in the same day, at the same time and in the same place? Isn't that a coincidence…?'

-'It's just a coincidence…'-Jin said feeling nervous by the minute.

-'Do you guys believe in destiny?'

-'Why would we?'-Hwoarang asked.

-'You were also born in the same day and at the same time…this is not a coincidence…'

-'Even if it isn't…we can't do anything about it!'-Jin said.-'Now give me my son and go away…'

-'There's something you must know Jin…this kid is my only hope to give our family a decent heir…he will have a difficult path but a great future, but you can't separate them…Ryu and Ken have many things in common and they can't be separated.'

-'I'm losing my patience, old man…'-Hwoarang said, but he immediately froze when he saw that Jinpachi was laying both Ken and Ryu on the grass.-'What are you doing?'

Jinpachi got up and attacked without a warning. Jin saw Jinpachi hitting Hwoarang with a punch on the face.

Hwoarang fell on is back, he was a bit dizzy. Jin took his fighting stance and blocked a high kick.

-'What are you doing?'-he asked Jinpachi, but he didn't get an answer.

Hwoarang got up and saw Jinpachi throwing Jin's body against a tree. He immediately attacked with a roundhouse kick followed by a left hook. Jinpachi's nose was now bleeding. The old man cleaned his nose with his hand and smiled.

-'Not bad…'-he said and before Hwoarang could do anything he hit him with a kick on the stomach.

Hwoarang fell on his knees and saw Jin getting up just next to him. He reunited his strengths and got up too.

-'I'm pretty strong for an old man, right?'-Jinpachi asked with a smirk.-'You can do better than this…come on…show me!'

-'I'll attack him on the right…you go on the left…'-Jin whispered.

Hwoarang nodded. They had to join forces to win against Jinpachi.

While Jin hit Jinpachi with a punch, Hwoarang hit him with a kick and Jinpachi went to the ground.

He felt his face swelling and his ribs hurting. Hwoarang and Jin were a good team.

-'That's more like it!'-Jinpachi said breathing heavily while getting up.-'That's what I was saying…together you can win anyone…it doesn't matter how strong your opponent is!'

-'Get away from my son!'-Jin said watching Jinpachi holding Ken and Ryu again.

-'When you join forces…you are unbeatable…now imagine what your kids will be able to do if they grow up together! They will be unstoppable!'

Jinpachi approached Jin and put Ryu in his arms. Then he gave Ken to Hwoarang.

-'They are the future…your future! Alone you are just normal fighters…together you are much more than that! Ken and Ryu will be like you! In a few years…when the time comes, I'll be waiting for them! Until then…good luck!'

Jinpachi turned around and left in the shadows. Jin and Hwoarang stayed there watching him go away. Only when they heard a car leaving they understood that it hadn't been a dream.

-'What was this all about?'-Dr. Abel asked in the car.

-'They are stronger than I thought!'-Jinpachi said.-'That red hair son of a…I think he broke me some ribs…'

Jinpachi rubbed his face where Jin had hit him and smiled.

-'Why are you smiling?'-Dr. Abel asked.

-'Those kids will be amazing…believe me…they will be the best!'

-'We have to hurry; Fury must be bored to death…'

Jin and Hwoarang returned to their rooms and watched their sons sleeping. They didn't know what to think about that meeting with Jinpachi. It was weird, but one thing they knew for sure, they would need to be ready to protect their sons and they wouldn't let anything like that happen again.

JAPAN

OSAKA

KANSAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

It was late at night when everyone arrived to Japan. Christie and Eddie had returned to Brazil and Yuu and Kazumi would go to Tokyo by train in a few minutes. Ling and Jin had decided during the plane trip to return to Yamagawa in Kyushu, because they wanted their son to grow up there, where Jin had been raised too. Besides, they couldn't stay in Asuka's house forever.

Asuka was sad because she had really enjoyed living with Jin and Ling.

-'Are you really sure you want to go?'-Asuka asked disappointed.

-'Yes…but don't worry Asuka…we'll see each other soon!'-Jin reassured.

-'And you can go see Ryu whenever you like!'-Ling added.-'It's just that we have a house of our own and we don't want to take advantage of your father's hospitality!'

-'But we're family…'

-'I know…but we'll be together soon!'-Jin said hugging her.-'Besides we'll only leave the next week…'

Satome grabbed Asuka's bag and took it to the taxi while the others were saying goodbye to Hwoarang and Julia.

Both Jin and Hwoarang had agreed not to tell anything about Jinpachi.

As Ling got in the taxi with Ryu, the baby started crying and so did Ken. Ling and Julia looked at each other with a narrow look. They were quiet when Julia and Ling were side by side waiting for the taxi.

-'He must be hungry…'-Ling said.

-'Yeah…Ken too.'

Jin and Hwoarang looked at each other and remembered what Jinpachi had said about Ken and Ryu's destiny being linked. They didn't believe in destiny, but when both babies started crying, it made them wonder. Jinpachi said that they should grow up together, but he was just a superstitious old man, right?

-'Ken will be the stronger fighter ever…I'll teach him everything he needs to know!'-Hwoarang said proudly facing Jin.

-'Ryu is going to kick your son's ass, just like I kicked yours!'-Jin replied.

-'We'll see about that, Kazama! Besides, you never kicked my ass, I kicked yours!'

-'Hey…guys?'-Asuka yelled from the taxi. Everyone was looking at her.-'As long as we're together, everything will be ok, right?'

Hwoarang, Julia, Ling, Jin and Satome looked at her and nodded.

The moon was high in the sky and everyone was now following their own destiny, their own path and the future would soon belong to the new generation.

A/Note: I dedicate this chapter to HwoarangTheChamp, because he gave me the idea of a fight between Hwoarang and Jinpachi.
