Chapter 5

I made sure that Xiao got back to the hotel safely. I told her not to wait for me and not to worry and that I'd be back. I didn't tell her where I was going. I wasn't quite sure myself. But I did know that I needed to find Kazuya Mishima.

My first thought was the Mishima complex. I knew that he was no longer in the Honmaru. But it was only by instinct that I knew. I couldn't be sure unless I went back to the Honmaru and I couldn't risk that.

It began to rain on my way. The rain reminded me of Xiaoyu's tears. In my mind's eye I could still see her standing there in tears. Crying for me.

What I really meant to say is, "I'm sorry for the way I am." I never meant to be so cold.

When I finally got to the Mishima complex, I was soaking wet, dripping on the carpet but I didn't care. I pressed for the elevator. I waited for the elevator to come down to my level. Kazuya was up there, that was for sure. I was getting impatient. Then the door opened and I stepped in. I pushed the button to take me to the top floor.

The doors opened yet again and I saw him sitting in his chair by the widow. "So, you've come." He turned to look at me. "Where's your rescue crew?" I snorted. "So, let me guess why you're here. You want to kill me. Some kids only contact their parents when they want money but not you. No, you only come to see me for revenge. But that's alright. I'd be more than happy to take up the challenge."

He had me wait for him on the rooftop. I didn't let off my guard as I looked down at the city below. I wondered what he was planning. Soon I heard him behind me. I turned to nearly be knocked down. "Ah, I see that you've changed." Kazuya was now wearing his sparing attire rather than his suit.

"Yes, this is much too bloody work for my purple suit. It would stain." I rolled my eyes. He came as if to punch me but he grabbed at my arm instead. He brought his leg up but he squirmed from his hold. I moved myself further from the edge without taking my eyes off my father. "So why is it that you need be rid of me?"

"You're a threat to me. You tried to kill me. And I despise you." He came forth to kick me but I grabbed his leg. Sitting on his thighs I pulled back on his leg until it popped. I let up. A normal person would limp but not Kazuya. He couldn't show weakness.

"And why is it, son, that you hate me?" I punched him in the face but it didn't seem to hurt him.

"The way I grew up and what you did to my mother." I punched him in the stomach and he staggered back a bit. It seems I struck him off guard.

"Jun Kazama," I heard him whisper.

He stepped back and didn't make any movements or signs that he would send a blow in my direction. So I waited. "Yes, Jun Kazama. You remember her? You left her with me. And where were you when she died? I was only fifteen. I was sent to live with Heihachi. And now I have this, this," before I could say it, it took over my body. "Devil Gene." My voice was distorted and I looked at my father. He seemed to be taken aback by my transformation just as much as I was.

Before I could stop myself, I shot from my eyes red beams of electricity. It knocked the wind from Kazuya and I picked him up and held him over the edge. I dropped him but he held onto the ledge.

Scared for his life, now, he spoke to me. "I'm sorry, Jin." I didn't believe him. Kazuya is never sorry. Not for anything. I don't know what my mother saw in him. I stepped on his fingers and he fell back, falling down the side of the building.

I spread my dark wings and flew off into the distance.
