"Hidden Within"

Chapter 11 - The Truth.

Baek and Hwoarang quickly got onto the ship that was heading for the Japanese islands. They saw Jun Kazama and Kazuya Mishima on the boat as well.

"Wow...I thought she was dead." Baek said. Hwoarang's bright eyes shot over to the couple. The two, long haired fighters gazed at the close couple.

"She's the best thing that could have happened to Kazuya."

Hwoarang nodded.

"Who is she?"

"Jun Kazama"

"Kazama?"

Hwoarang's eyes were large as he looked from Baek to Jun.

"Yeah...What?"

"Jin..." Hwoarang's fists clenched and he felt this over powering surge flow through is body.

"Nothing." He growled slightly. Hwoarang quickly whipped around gazing down at the water.

Baek raised a brow as he leaned back, looking at Hwoarang, then glanced over to one of the other Tekken fighters. Ganryu. Baek casually walked over to him and started a simple conversation.

Jun turned to Kazuya, then back to the water quickly.

"Dear?"

"Yeas?" Kazuya quickly joining her left side, his right hand went to the small of her back his thumb rubbing along her spine.

She gazed down into the water.

"Do you see?"
He looked at her, those dark brows knitting together. She nodded to the ocean and he looked again, confused until he saw the dolphins playing under the water and a smile crept on his face, which he turned to her and his smile grew.

"I love you, Kazama..."
"I love you..." She smiled and moved in to kiss him, his arm slid more tightly around her small waist and he dipped his head down, but they were interrupted by a female's voice.

"Oh my god! It's Jun Kazama!" The tanned "Bimbo" squealed with excitement. Jun's muscles collapsed and she turned from nearly kissing Kazuya to.

Christie?

"Have we met?" Jun asked, knowing full well they have, but Christie shouldn't know that.

"No...I've only heard of you. Rumor has it that you're dead..."

The scantily clad woman moved over to Jun and smiled, extending her hand.

"I'm Christie...Its' and honor..."

Huh...Her...know honor? This is the same girl who attacked Julia with every intention of killing her...over a guy...

"Hmm. My pleasure."

Jun shook her hand and looked over her shoulder to see a man with blonde hair and a swollen nose.

"Is he with you?"

Jun looked to Christie who glanced over her shoulder to Steve, then back to Jun.

"Yeah..."
"What happened to his nose?"

"He was at the gym earlier, and got into a scuffle with some girl.."

"oh?"

" Yeah...Some girl, glasses, long hair, in two braids.. A few small feathers and beads hanging from her gloves."

Jun's eyebrows shot up.

"She have a name?"

Hwoarang was highly interested in the conversation now that Julia popped up in it.

"No...I don't know who she was..."

"Julia Chang..."

Hwoarang smirked, looking at Christie. He seemed familiar to her as did she to him.

"Her name is Julia Change and she is a damn good fighter... Your boy toy over there made a mistake getting in the ring with her.."
"Who are you?" Christie was being defensive but the longer she looked at him, the more she wanted him.

"Name's Hwoarang...And you are?"

He gave her a devilishly charming smile and she felt her heart melt.

"Christie..."
Jun saw this and had to stop it. All of her hard work, down the drain because Hwoarang can't drop his male-whore ways.

"How do you know Jul-"

Jun gasped and dropped to her hands and knees with a thud. Kazuya was already there.

"Jun!"

She struggled for air, yet held her heart.

"Jin..." She yelled, extending her hand from her heart, outward. Her body went limp and her eyes closed. Kazuya's teeth ground together as he picked her up and with a grunt he turned to the circle of fighters that had formed.

"Get out of my way." He said coldly as he shoved passed them and took Jun below deck.

"The hell?" Hwoarang finally said. As the sun went down everyone broke from their circle and went their own ways on the boat...

Julia went home, tossing her bag in the corner and plopped down on the couch. Michelle came around the corner, she could tell with the way that Julia rubbed her face after taking off her glasses that she was stressed.

"Julia, Dear?"

Michelle hummed.

"Yes, Mother?"

"Something wrong?"

Julia looked up at her.

"Did you ever meet someone that you felt like you loved before? You know, like falling back in love with a complete stranger, only he doesn't feel like a stranger?

"No Julia. I've never had that happen...What's up?"

Michelle sat down b Julia on the couch.

"I don't know. "

Julia spoke softly, gazing ahead of her while she continued.

"I met a man tonight at the gym."

"Oh? What about Hwoarang?

"I know, mother. That's what I don't understand. I automatically feel this attraction to this Jin Kazama.."

Michelle smiled.

"He sounds familiar...Is he handsome?"

"Oh yes mother..."Julia smiled to Michelle.

"Well, Julia..." Michelle placed her hand on Julia's leg.

"You need to make your decision, Dear..."
"I love Hwoarang, Mother." Julia said firmly. But...Jin She thought.

Kazuya laid Jun down on a bunk bed below deck. He kneeled down on the floor beside her. He took her hand and pressed it to his lips, gently he whispered her name and closed his eyes. His left hand rose to stroke her bangs out of the way.

"This...This is what I have done... I am sorry, Jin."

She whispered and gripped Kazuya's hand. Suddenly , he saw Jin in a fighting stance, then coming at him with everything he had, then Kazuya saw himself holding a girl in front of him, even while holding her arm, this girl, Julia, had such a power in her, Spiritual power, much like Jun. Until Kazuya saw himself snap the girl's neck. His vision shifted again to see Jin as he dropped to his knees and screamed for Julia. Suddenly, he saw Jin in the air with those black and white wings battling a red winged fighter. His name...Hwoarang... He remembered running into a room and yelling for Jin to stop with a man a long side him. Baek Doo San. Kazuya didn't understand where these visions came from...but they weren't visions...they were memories. He then started seeing through Jun's eyes. There was Julia's face. She seemed as though she were falling apart inside, then Hwoarang's, who seemed like a 2nd grader who just got caught stealing a piece of candy. He heard Jun's voice and saw her unite Julia's hand with Hwoarang's and everything went black, then faded to white with a calm feeling. Kazuya actually took pleasure in this brief abyss. His eyes opened as he looked to Jun on the bunk.

"I don't understand..." He said as her eyes opened.

"Don't you remember? Can't you feel our son's pain?"

She squeezed his hand more tightly and just then Kazuya dropped to all fours aside from still holding her hand. He clenched his teeth and took a deep breath. His other hand came to his chest as that scar reappeared. His shoulder blades shifted around internally, such a terrible pain, his skin started to tear.

"Jun...What's...hap...happening?"

He managed to try and speak. She let go of his hand and he collapsed on the floor. He rolled over on his back and said in that deep, rugged, sexy voice of his, much like Jin's.

"What...was that?" He demanded to know as he picked himself up to look at Jun who was now sitting up.

"Your other half."

"What?"

"You're half human, half devil. Jin...our son...is something else, devil capabilities, yet he keeps a lot of human traits, aside from tattoos. He's torn inside. He is the ultimate battle of Heaven and Hell in one tiny little shell...His human body."

"And the other?"

"Hwoarang? He's caught a little bit of what I pulled out of you. The devil gene resides only to find a new host. I was able to keep most of it in you, and only make it lay dormant in your body, same with Jin. Only problem is, it doesn't stay that way, one small thing can trigger it."

She paused, looking at his stone carved face and continued.

"With Hwoarang and Jin fighting against one another, the fighting would have never stopped. I needed to calm the Devil side of Hwoarang, but his was different from yours and Jin's. His was the human's most desire, rather than the Devil's. For example, yours wanted revenge and now peace for itself. Hwoarang wanted Julia...So...I had to change things. I made sure that with each person, they would be happy...the person feeling any pain from this so far is..."

"Jin..." Kazuya cut her off and continued..

"You took the woman he loved and handed her over to some reckless kid who doesn't know the first thing about love-"

"And like you do?"

Jun stood up, but Kazuya quickly took her arm and pulled her back to him.

"I love you...I loved you even before I met with that cliff...you know that..." The way he gazed down at her with such intensity and truth, she had to admire it, but also defend herself and her purpose.

"Do I? Kazuya, sometimes I wonder with you.."

He could tell she was running low on resources and come backs and losing her composure. He grinned down to her while he held her biceps tightly. He kissed her lips, just like the first kiss they shared the night Jin was conceived. She returned the kiss. His hands slid down her arms, down her sides, to her hips and around her petite butt, he got a good grip on it and lifted her up with him, only to bend over and lay her back down on the bunk, only with him atop her. Her hands roamed his upper body silently admiring the muscle. They were in for yet another night of passion and maybe another Jin could be on the way...
