Shout outs to: hibeki, Super Kawaii Lamb, Astral Slayer Asuka, and angel-jun-kazama-lockheart. Thank you for the reviews! And no, I don't have msn.

For the record, school is murder, and I'm behind in math (don't question my intelligence please), so I'll probably be going at a short pace here. But I'll try my best to add at least one chapter a day.

So yeah…ENJOY!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Tekken characters; Namco does. Man, I have to do this for every chapter?


Chapter 1 Sunset

12-yr-old Asuka Kazama sat at the edge of the cliff, watching the sunset. A cool breeze blew softly at Asuka's dark, short brown hair. Asuka paid no attention to nature's sounds around her – sounds in which she grew to know and love – for she was deep in her thoughts.

Asuka thought about how simple her life used to be – just days filled with sparring with her brother, chats with her mother, walks in the woods, and bird watching – simple, yet pleasant.

Until her mother told her the truth…

One night, Jun told them of a creature named Ogre, the God of Fighting. She told them how she sensed his presence encroaching in on her, and told them how she foreshadows her death. She then told them more revelation news: news that would forever change their lives, news they never thought they would have ever known…

She told them about their father.

Before, they used to ask Jun about their father. They never got an answer; instead, she would look sad that they would feel bad, and won't ask again. So when she told them that their father was none other than Kazuya Mishima, and that Heihachi Mishima, their grandfather, murdered him they were stunned.

After she finished telling them how she met him, and what happened, all were speechless. Everything that she had said…their father…and her future death…it was…unbelievable.

Jun looked sadly at their stunned faces. "There's more," she said. They looked at her in disbelief. What more could there be than the fact that their father was a Devil?

Jun said, "As you know, your father had sold his soul to the Devil. This means that this – this Devil Gene he has – he has passed it onto you. You two have the Devil Gene. This is why we live in isolation – because it is possible that the Devil could sense you power, and…kill you. But you also have a different gene within you. I – I have the Angel Gene."

Jun paused, letting them sink in these words. She continued, "Your grandparents found me here, in this forest, and had been telling me that I am the Chosen One. I always thought it was because I was psychic. But it seems that I was meant to save the world from further darkness – which was why I met your father. I was meant to save him, and rid him of the Devil. And I succeeded – I had his children."

But because I am an Angel, and your father is a Devil, you two have the mixed gene. You are the children of an Angel and Devil."

No one said anything for a while. Everything she said was so absurd…yet it was true.

Jun said hesitantly, "If…if anything ever happens to me, you two must go to Tokyo and find your grandfather, Heihachi. He is your only living relative after me. He will take care of you."

Asuka asked, "You expect us to be living with the man who killed our father!"

Jun sighed. "Yes…but time has passed, therefore wounds heal. Your grandfather isn't perfect, but I know that he will accept you. Please, just trust me, and please, have faith."

Jin stood up, looking angry. "How can you just let this happen to us! We need you! Not a murderer for a grandfather who hasn't spoken to us for 15 years!"

With that, he ran to his room. They then heard the door slam. Jun looked at Asuka who avoided her mother's gaze. He's right, she thought, he's right and you know it.

How can you say that? How can you say something like that at a time like this? Mom's going to die!

Mother…oh Mom…how can you just die? How can you die, right now? We're still kids! We need you!

Jun began, "Asuka…chotto matte…"

Asuka turned to Jun, tears in her eyes. "I-I don't believe this."

Asuka fled to her room, sobs erupting the eerie silence in the hallway.

Three days had passed. The Kazamas' heart's were heavy with sorrow – all 3 of them. But no matter how much they denied it, they all knew – their mother will die.

And it was on that third day that Asuka sat at the edge of the cliff, thinking. She was so deep in thought that she didn't even notice her 15-yr-old brother, Jin sit down beside her.

For a while, they just sat there, watching the sunset. Asuka glanced at her brother. She had admitted several times that he was good-looking: jet-black hair that spiked up and had bangs, a nice muscualr body from training the Kazama-ryu fighting style, dark brown eyes...and as good-looking he already is, he would have looked better if he didn't always have a seriouse look on his face. Jin was more on the quiet side, and mostly concentrated on martial arts and school. He only spoke when asked to, or whenever Asuka needed some defending (meaning, if some guy tried hitting on her). Yet jin was still kind, generous, careing, and even awkward at heart if you got to know him better.

It was Asuka who was the outspoken, outgoing one: Asuka was as kind, spirited, careing, and loving as she was tough. In fact, she (along with Jin) was taught to love all things big and small. Sheholds a strong sense of justice because of her mother.

Finally, Asuka spoke. "It looks beautifull..." Of course she meant the sunset.

Jin nodded in agreement. "Yeah..." he replied.

Asuka hesitated. She had been wanting to speak with her brother about Jun, and everything that has been going on. But he would either change the subject or just avoid her; he had been avoiding everyone lately. Asuka began, "You know...it might be the last time we see a sunset like this again..."

Jin scowled at her. "What's the matter with you, Asuka? Why do you have to keep talking like that? Why is everyone acting like this? I'm sick of it! I can't take it any more!"

Asuka glared back at him. "Well why do you have to keep acting like nothing's wrong? Your so oblivious to everything that's happening!"

Jin just shook his head. "Just stop it, Asuka," he said flatly, "let's not talk about this."

Asuka bit her lip to keep it from trembling. The way he didn't want to talk...no, the way he talked to her...it was as if he thought her as a child...a child! No way! Just because she was 3 years younger than him (12 years old was still an acceptable age, you know), doesn't mean she was a child. And...and she had to talk to him...no way was she going to talk to Jun...

Asuka's eyes started to fill with tears, despite her fighting. "But...I need to talk about it...and I know you do to, Oni-chan! You can stop denying it, because I know! So you can stop treating me like a child."

Jin looked at her sister. He sighed. "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, Asuka," he said, "it's just...everything's so...different..."

Asuka sniffed. "I know. It's just...I just need to talk to you...I mean...I can't talk to Mom..."

Jin sighed. "Yeah...I know. Gomen nasai."

Asuka replied, "Yeah. Sorry for acting like that."

They continued to watch the sunset. Asuka wondered out loud, "I wonder what he's like..."

Jin looked confused. "Who?"

"You know..Dad..."

Jin looked puzzled. "Why do you want to know? You never even met the guy. And how can you address him as "Dad?""

Asuka looked scornfully at Jin. "Well, of course not, Oni-chan, I mean, I'm just curious."

Jin replied back, "Yeah...I'm kinda curious myself..."

Jin then said, "But I just don't understand...why did Mother have to be all secretive about our father? I mean...she didn't have to tell us about the part how he died...she could've just said he was dead..."

Asuka looked thoughtful. "You know, I was thinking the same thing...we know nothing of him...it's as if he doesn't even exist...or existed..."

Jin shrugged. "Maybe the memories hurt."

They were quiet again. They both knew that they didn't want to talk about their father - they wanted to talk about Jun. About what the future holds for them now...

But neither of them brought it up. They didn't know how, and they didn't want to. It was too painfull to talk about it. It would make it so...final...

So they were both quiet, lost in their own thoughts. They then realized it was dark and chilly out now. Asuka wasn't so sure (because it was dark out), but she could have sworn Jin's eyes were bloodshot.

As they got up to leave for their cottage, Asuka wiped her face with the sleeve of her sweater.


So...good enough for you? I know, I know, a little boreing, I guess. But don't worry! It will get better!

Don't forget to review! Man, I sound like a mother telling her kids to eat their veggies.
