Chapter Eleven

Teal walked out of the elevator and went down the hall, stopping at Lili's door. She knocked on it and it opened a couple of seconds later.

"Come on, you gotta see this!" Lili said, pulling her into the room.

Teal sat down on the bed next to Xiaoyu, and Lili pulled up a window on her laptop.

"This is her, right?" Lili said, pointing at the computer screen.

"Yeah...yeah that's her." Teal said, looking at the screen. "What does it all say?"

"Her real name is unknown, but she goes by Kunimitsu. She's a former member of the Manji Clan." Xiaoyu said, reading the screen

"Manji Clan? Aren't they thieves?"

"Yes. She was expelled by the clans leader, Yoshimitsu for stealing for her own interest, instead of the clan."

The name Yoshimitsu stuck with Teal, and she remembered that he was the one that was with Helena earlier.

"Yoshitmitsu...he was the one in my room earlier, with Helena." She said

"Helena Kovac was in your room? Why?" Lili asked.

"Because I uh...nothing. It's not important. What else does it say?"

"She worked with the Mishima Zaibatsu while Kazuya Mishima was the leader, but after he was overthrown, there's no information about what she did next. But this says she's affiliated with Jubilee Corporation now...that's weird."

Teal's eyes widened and she looked at the sentence again. Kunimitsu works with Helena?

"So Kunimitsu and Yoshimitsu works for JCo? That's weird.." Lili said.

"Teal, if Kunimitsu works for Helena, why did she attack you at the club? Aren't you working for Helena too?"

Teal was silent, but her mind was running wild with accusations and revelations. Why did Kunimitsu attack me? If she's working with Helena, if anything, she should've been on my side. Unless..

"Xiao, do you still have Miharu's number?" Teal asked. "I lost it when I had to reset my phone."

"Um, yeah. Why?"

"Call her for me, please?"

Xiaoyu dialed Miharu's number on her cell phone and put it on speaker.

"Teal, I don't understand what's going on. Why do you need to call Miharu?" Lili asked.

"Hello?" Miharu's cheery voice said on the other line.

"M-Miharu? It's Teal." Teal said.

"Teal! Hey girl! I miss you so much."

"I miss you too. What are you doing?"

"Nothing much, just finished doing Suki's hair. Why? Is Xiao there with you?"

"Yes smarty pants, We're talking to you on my phone." Xiaoyu giggled.

"Look, Miharu, I need you to do a big favor for me." Teal said.

"Sure. What is it?"

"I need you to go to my house. Have you been there at all recently?"

"No. I've been meaning to ask your mom to make dinner for me one day, I just forgot."

"Great. Ask her to make dinner for you today. I need you to go to my house and look for something."

"Okay. What am I looking for?"

"Anything suspicious-looking. Like a detonator, bombs, cameras, any of that. You might need to check all of the corners for it. Places that people don't look at on an everyday basis."

"Alright, I'll do that. Teal, what's going on? Why do you want me to do this?"

"I'm not sure, but you doing this for me will help me understand what's going on too. I'll fill you in after you tell me what you find."

"Okay. I'll do it tonight, and tell you what I find as soon as I see it."

"Good, thanks girl. Talk to you later."

Teal pressed the end button and handed the cell phone back to Xiaoyu.

"I'm still confused." Lili said, shaking her head and standing up. "You guys wanna get some lunch?"

"Yes! Teal, are you coming?" Xiao said excitedly.

"Uh...you guys go ahead." Teal was staring off into space, in deep thought. She got up and walked towards the door. "I'll catch up with you later."

She left out of the room and walked to the end of the hall, where her hotel room was. She had a painful feeling in her head, and stopped.

"Ah, fuck!" She sneered as she held her head in her hands.

"Your getting closer to the truth, Teal." Jun's soothing voice said, clear as day.

"Jun?" Teal looked around, but nobody was in the hallway with her. She continued to walk slowly to her room and opened the door, almost collapsing on her bed. She was exhausted, and her eyes immediately began closing.

"So she was with you, last night...why didn't you just end it?"

Jin shook his head and turned away from his Devil gene. The Devil had exited his body and took human form, which was just another version of Jin himself. Anyone who would have walked in on them talking would have thought they were twins.

"You're boring, Jin. And here I thought you were finally beginning to agree with me. I thought we were finally beginning to get along."

"I will never get along with you. I want you out of me, what makes you think I'll want to get along with you."

"Sheesh Jin, lighten up. I'm not going anywhere. No matter what you try to do, I'm not leaving. Why are you doing this anyway? Why are you putting the world in so much turmoil if you still don't want to have anything to do with little old me?"

Jin didn't say anything, and the Devil laughed. "You don't have to answer me now. I'll get it out of you soon. I love watching you suffer...though, it was pretty fun watching you and Teal go at it last night."

"Shut up." Jin sneered.

"Her screams were pretty mesmerizing...are you sure you weren't hurting her? She didn't sound like she was enjoying it too much."

"I said, shut the hell up." Jin was getting angrier by the second.

"Oh wait, she was a virgin too? Aw, that's so cute. She lost her virginity to someone that she's loved for years."

"Shut up!"

Jin lunged at his demonic counterpart, but he easily dodged it, and began laughing maniacally. "Your so lucky her powers make me leave your body. I would have killed her right then if I could have. All of this love shit is making me sick, Jin. You know what you have to do."

"Yeah, I do." Jin began walking away. I'm killing you, bastard. Even if I have to kill myself to do it.

After taking a nap for an hour, Teal had spent the rest of the day looking up information about the Zaibatsu, G Corp and J Corp. She needed to find out as much as she could about each company, so that she could figure out exactly what was going on. When she had read up on the history of the Zaibatsu and G Corp, she was shocked. She always knew that Jin didn't like his father, but she thought it was just because he wasn't in his life while Jun was alive (well, Teal thinks Jun is still alive, but she is presumed dead). Teal had no idea that this was a generational problem; that the Mishima men really despised each other. Kazuya has the Devil gene inside of him also, and it was transferred to Jun's womb when she conceived Jin. That would explain the Devil gene also being in Jin, but she still didn't know why Jin was causing all of this trouble with the Zaibatsu. He's a sweet guy, and she really was falling in love with him all over again, even though she was too scared to admit it. She would have never imagined in a million years that he would be doing all of these evil things, but she knew that it wasn't him doing it.

"That gene...it's driving him crazy." She said out loud, as she looked at the computer. "He was trying to tell me that he needed me, earlier today...but how am I supposed to get it out of him? How can I even help him?"

Her cell phone began ringing and she quickly picked it up. "Hello? Hello?"

"Teal...its...Haru.. I..." Miharu's voice said, breaking up.

"Miharu, where are you? You're breaking up."

"Hold..." The line went silent until she spoke again. "Teal?"

"Yeah, what happened? What did you find?"

"Teal, your house is crawling with mini-cameras."

"What?"

"I've found at least of ten of them. Maybe more. Somebody's been spying on you and your mom."

"Helena.." Teal sneered quietly.

"Huh?"

"Nothing. Did you find anything else?"

"Yeah, I did. It's a bomb-type thing. It was in your kitchen near the stove."

"Really? You didn't touch it, did you?"

"I did."

"What! Miharu, what if the bomb would have went off?!"

"That's what I'm trying to tell you, Teal. It's not real."

"Wait...it's a fake bomb?"

"Yes. You know I'm a techno geek, T. I can spot a fake electric bomb from a real one in a second. It's definitely a fake. Somebody's been toying with you, honey."

"..." Teal was silent. Some of the pieces to the puzzle were starting to come together.

"Teal? Hello?"

"Miharu, can you disable cameras?"

"Sure can, and I already did."

"Okay, good. I want you to keep checking on mommy. Even when your at home, check on her. I'll do the same."

"I can do that. Teal, will you tell me what's going on?"

"I'm being used. For some reason, I'm being used."

"Used? By who?"

"J Corp...G Corp...I don't even know. I have to get to the bottom of this. You have to make sure my mom is okay."

"Asai-chan is staying with one of your aunts for the rest of the week. She said it's pretty boring here without you."

"Okay." Teal sighed with relief. "Good."

"Miharu! Dinner's ready!" She heard Asai's voice call out.

"Gotta go, T. I'll make sure I'll eat this delicious dinner in your honor."

Teal chuckled. It was the first time she laughed all day. "Okay, tell mommy I said hi, and I miss her, and I'll call her later."

"Alrighty. Bye."

When she hung up the phone, her mind was made up. I'll pretend that I don't know anything for now. The minute I get back to Tokyo...it'll be time for me and Helena to have a talk.

I made Devil Jin an asshole in this chapter. Haha. Ah well, hope you liked!
