The Mishima Bloodline: Façade Play

Chapter 02 : Trifling Tranquility

Their bodies were bruised, weakened and can no longer stand on their own two feet even for just more than, a minute. But still, Kazuya pushed himself up and held his head up high - staring at his Father with pure hatred in his eyes. The ravenette's gaze lingered for the longest at the older Mishima before his caramel hues drawled for a moment towards his adopted brother.

Lee was on his knees, frame shaking and trembling with great violence. He panted a loud in exhaustion; head slowly raising up so he could glance over to his family. Both men stared at him. Heihachi himself having a disappointed expression etched onto his features.

"Stand up!" The man growled out in superiority, eyes boring onto the silverette as his voice itself was a threatening warning already. Lee looked over to Kazuya, though the raven already had his face turned to the side - attention completely focused on their Father as he didn't even glance nor gave any sort of notice towards Chaolan's existence.

The silverette bit his lower lip in fear, hands moving to rest against his knees so he could have a leverage of standing up again. The boy whimpered but, did as he was told - trying to compose himself back to normality as Chaolan stared up at his Father, trying to put on a strong face as best as he could.

Their Father nodded; satisfied at Lee performance before he tore his gaze away "Both of you will practice the new stances and techniques till it is perfect; no one is to step outside of this dojo with mistakes. Do I make myself clear?" Heihachi stated off as he crossed his arms against his chest, gaze holding a dangerous look onto them.

Kazuya didn't reply back to the older and just walked off to find his own space to practice. Heihachi ignored the action and looked back at Lee, arching up one brow - giving him a questioning look.

"Yes Father." The silverette finally replied back as he stayed on his place and did his stance there. The older Mishima nodded again, pleased by his son's reply before walking out of the dojo to do his own business.

Lee glanced over to his brother, watching the raven punch and do kicks without having any target in front of him. He stared at the other in both awe and jealousy; amazed at how high Kazuya's stamina was - being able to train even when both of them have been at the dojo all day, drained out till almost collapsing from exhaustion. But, Kazuya didn't show any form of weaknesses; he was firm and kept his focus undivided, making sure to get each stroke and attack perfect. Which was what he was doing at the moment, to which got Chaolan really worked up.

His expression turned a bit bitter as he slowly limped over to the older "Teach me how to do that attack." The silverette said in a slightly demanding tone of voice.

Though, his words fell on deaf ears as the elder ignored him and continued off in silence - practicing on his own. Lee growled in annoyance, not at all pleased that Kazuya was ignoring him. He started to walk till he was in front of the raven, hands on his waist as he looked over to the other.

"Hey! Did you hear me?!" Lee tried again, was it too much to ask for a little bit of attention from his brother?

"I'm busy. Go practice on your own." Kazuya finally replied back in a cold tone of voice, gaze turning towards the silverette as he glared at Lee with such ferocity that it looked as though he was ready to fight with his brother at any moment if he were to interrupt him again.

But Lee didn't bulge, he narrowed his eyes and gave a huff towards the other "You can't be serious? You've perfected it already! At least teach me on how to do it properly." The silverette said again; fists clenching tight as he was getting a little too pissed off by his brother's reactions.

Kazuya on the other hand sighed in annoyance, rolling his eyes to the side as he shrugged off the other's words. Completely ignoring Chaolan again, the ravenette went back to practicing, almost making it look as though the silverette's existence was of no trace from before.

As the silverette was ignored, it only made Lee's blood boil, making him grit his teeth in anger "Asshole!" He suddenly blurted out, out of anger. From the single word that escaped Chaolan's mouth made Kazuya stop on his tracks and stare at his brother in somewhat shock. He didn't know how to properly react nor what to even think as he heard the younger swear at him.

When he got the raven's attention, Lee grinned in triumph. He was pleased that he made Kazuya focus on him for more than, just 5 seconds and having the older stare at him proved to be something that made the silverette extremely happy.

"Stop being a jerk and help me out Kazuya-nii." Chaolan continued off, demanding from the older that he would teach him.

The ravenette stared at Lee for a long time before he turned his head away "You need to learn some manners. You sound like a street kid." Kazuya added off, making Lee's cheeks turn bright red and heat up in both anger and embarrassment. He wanted to punch the living day lights out of Kazuya right now - but he had to control himself. He didn't want to be labeled as such as what his brother had just called him earlier. He didn't want to be the kind of person he was before, not again - and definitely not in front of his brother.

He stayed silent for a moment, watching his brother go back to practice. His eyes lingered on the older; brows furrowing as he took in every single movement the other made. Every kick and punch Kazuya made was fluid and precise. The way his body moved as he delivered blows and attacks at his imaginary target put Lee in awe.

A determined look was now plastered onto the silverette's caramel hues; moments later he begun to take his stance again, eyes still following his older brother as Chaolan slowly but, surely started to copy every single move the raven was doing. Though it wasn't at all as perfect as Kazuya's, Lee doing a much slower pace of making the said attack - he did his best and kept his gaze onto the other, focusing on perfecting his attack.

The way Chaolan had copied and gazed onto Kazuya brought a smirk to appear on the older's lips. His attention was on the silverette for a moment; his dark brown orbs taking in his younger brother's frame and how hard he saw Lee trying to replicate his movements.

For each passing second, the silverette slowly started to get used to the attack. He kicked at a certain angle, not too high just about a person's chest, moving his hips along as he did the kick, his one feet on the ground moving along his body's movement. He balanced his body almost the same as Kazuya's; and the mere sight of the silverette getting just a tad bit of the kick perfect sparked an interest from the ravenette.

In a haste, Kazuya changed his practice. He backed away and started to do a different kick - one that would aim at a 45 degree, his body would spin a semi-circle before he would lift his other leg and kick from behind, accompanied by one back punch as well.

Lee stared at his brother with wide eyes, not at all sure as to why the raven had suddenly changed his course of practice but did nothing to complain and just plainly tried to copy his brother's movements. Though, it wasn't at all that hard for him to do the attack - since he had already practiced and used that attack quite a few times when he was still on the streets; fighting his way through other kids that would go against him.

A grunt of approval escaped the older boy's lips as he watched Chaolan. The silverette did the same, stepping back as well - just a few feet away and doing an exact copy of his attack. The ravenette acknowledged his brother for a moment, holding his head up high whilst his eyes bore towards the silverette.

The younger stayed still at his place, eyes gazing back at Kazuya as he waited for the other to move first. He was going to copy every single move the older was to make, he wanted to prove himself to his brother.

Kazuya then posed for a different stance. He decided that he was going to do a combination of punches and kicks this time; one hand stretched out, looking as though it grabbed for its target before aiming one punch, raising his arm up to deliver an elbow attack . As it was then continued by a knee attack, his left leg initiating the first hit, followed by his right. And as a finishing blow, his left leg did a low kick, one that would certainly out balance his opponent; his body crouched down a bit by the attack and he added one mid punch that would probably hit his opponent's stomach if the raven were to be fighting with a real person.

The silverette watched with determined eyes, taking in the new attack as he positioned himself in the same stance as Kazuya was in a while ago. Both hands up and one leg behind him, before he copied the ravenette; his right hand went in for a grab, soon followed by his left fist delivering a punch. His hand held on an imaginary head ( though that wasn't included in Kazuya's attack earlier), he kneed the imaginary person's stomach - making a bit of a mistake at it before he moved on and crouched down as well, making a low kick with his left leg before adding a mid punch exactly the same as what his older brother had done earlier.

He stared at the older, huffing in exhaustion. He was pretty surprised at how long Kazuya could hold himself when training; he doesn't even think he saw the raven rest even for a minute during their training. Though, he did think that Kazuya wouldn't be allowed - especially when their Father was around; just the mere fact that Chaolan was seen sitting down for a moment earlier brought a frown to Heihachi's features, which made him get a punishment of training a little more harder earlier.

The attacks and training went on for a couple of more hours, with both Kazuya and Chaolan trying out different attacks. Lee had learned how to better adjust his stances and postures while, making an offensive blow whilst Kazuya on the other hand, learned a few new tricks from the silverette.

It wasn't long before Lee's legs finally gave out on him, he panted and gasped for air. Trickles and beads of sweat glistening from his pale skin as the younger finally couldn't stand up anymore and just sat on the wooden floor of their dojo. Kazuya watched his brother with an arched brow, hands crossed against his chest as he took in the image of his brother.

Silence lingered among them, Chaolan trying to catch up on his breath. He could barely move a muscle as of now though, he tried as hard as he could to stand up again.

"Stand up." Kazuya finally broke the quiet atmosphere between them. The silverette gazed up at his brother, seeing as the raven had walked from his place to invade Chaolan's own training space. The older stood in front of him, a different and mixed up expression playing on his eyes that Chaolan wasn't sure of what to make of it - what was his brother feeling and what is that facial feature suppose to mean?

He whimpered in pain, trying to collect the last ounce of energy he had before shakily getting on his knees. And in that moment, the ravenette's hand grabbed a hold of Chaolan's arm and helped him up, though only giving just a bit of his strength as he wanted his brother to not get used with help - he didn't want to teach the other a weak trait of being dependent when there was help.

Once the silverette was back on his feet, Kazuya turned his back on the younger and started to walk off. He said nothing more to Lee and just opened the door of their dojo and walked off to wherever he was to go. Lee watched his brother abandon him, his eyes staring at the form that was slowly distancing itself from him before the back image of Kazuya finally faded and disappeared.

A sigh of exhaustion escaped his lips, one hand ruffling his messy mercury mane "Thank you." Chaolan murmured in a low tone of voice, not at all sure as to why he had uttered out those two small words. But a smile was on his lips, nothing too big nor bright though, it was there. He was smiling for reasons unknown even to himself but, Lee didn't care - he didn't mind the fact that he was feeling a small tinge of enlightenment from something so obscure even to his own conscience but, the silverette had no complaints towards the weirdly anonymous feeling.


Notes: So, how was it you guys? Did ya enjoy it? Any comments? *lol*

By the why! If you guys noticed, their moves here while training isn't all the same with what's in the original game. Sure, I play those two ( Kazuya is my main ), but I'm not all that good with knowing their fighting styles properly. Kazuya's style is some form of Karate whilst Lee is a mixture of Jeet-kune do and Judo. I'm gonna be completely honest here, I don't know those because my fighting style is Muay Thai.. So yeah, if you guys know combat and stuff - you'll probably notice that their way of training/fighting here is a little more similar to Bruce Irvin and Bryan Fury's. Don't flame on me or anything for this okai guys? At least I gave it some action and whatnot for your liking.. ;w;
