A/N: Jin and Asuka's uncle is sometimes reffered to as Ryo from now on, since Harada-san didn't even bother to name that poor fellow.
Chapter 5
Heihachi started laughing at the sorry state of his son and grandchildren, who were apparently homeless now, or atleast that's what he at the same time he was surprised to see Kazuya alive, especially when Jin and Asuka had said he had died with Jun back at Ogre's temple in Mexico. After 'supervising' the attack he flew off, looking quite satisfied. Another helicopter which was filled with Jack-4's ready to fight came and dropped them off.
"Where the hell you are going, you old fool!" Jin transformed himself and started chasing Heihachi, leaving Asuka, Jun, Kazuya and Ryo to fend off the Jack-4's and a long fight ensued.
In the meantime, Devil Jin was chasing Heihachi's helicopter, but he was losing him slowly. On top of that, he had to dodge the bullets of machine guns and RPG's. He managed to fire a beam from his third eye, damaging one of the rotor blades, but it made him dizzy. Heihachi took the chance and was able to get out of Devil Jin's range. Dejected., Jin returned back at the break of dawn.
What they used to call home was now nothing more than a huge pile of debris. Asuka was trying to get out some belongings out of the rubble, while Kazuya and Jun were searching for Ryo, whom he hadn't seen in a while. Jin landed on the ground, tired and exhausted.
"What a night, Jin. Have you seen your uncle around?"
"No, I haven't seen Oji-chan oyaji. He was with all of you, right?"
"Then, could he be abducted by Heihachi?"
"WHAT?"Jin and Asuka said in unison, unable to believe the words. Kazuya was right, Ryo was taken hostage by Heihachi, in order to lure Jin and his sister out and get the mixed gene out of them. Asuka burst into tears, having lost her uncle, who had raised her lovingly all those seventeen years. Jin comforted her, while their parents stood still, who were in confusion about what to do next.
"Please stop crying, will you? Crying will not get him back to us. Maybe dad can order a spy or an assassin to find the whereabouts of our uncle. Be the tough girl you've always been, Asuka."
"Well, I can't do anything now, Jin. I am so sorry."
Jin was filled with anger, after Kazuya expressed his helplessness. "Why it is not possible for you to get someone to find Oji-chan? For God's sake, you are the CEO of the world's most powerful corporation, dad! Why can't you do that?"
"That is because I am no longer the CEO of the Zaibatsu, Jin. In the eyes of the law, both Jun and I are dead after the clash with True Ogre. It'll take one hell of an explanation to get to my former position. Since you and Asuka are my descendants and are confirmed to be alive, the control of the Zaibatsu, is legally with you and your sister." Both the siblings were shocked, unable to confirm if whatever they heard just now was true.
"Are you kidding me? Both I and Asuka are way too inexperienced to run that mammoth of a company, dad! We are not capable of handling it!"
"Like it or hate it, you two are the owners of that Zaibatsu. As long as running it is concerned, I have full faith in you two that you'll take the right decisions. No one is experienced in the beginning, Jin. It may be tough getting used to the routine at first, but soon you'll get the hang of it. Just be confident and firm on your decisions, that's it. "
"Alright dad, if you say so." Jin said reluctantly. He and Asuka hadn't even dreamed of running the Mishima Zaibatsu. Both the siblings looked at each other, determined to get their uncle back, no matter what the cost.
"Well then. Asuka, pack whatever belongings you got from the debris and get ready. Dad, mom please come with us to Tokyo, atleast till the reconstruction of this house and dojo." Saying this Jin put on a black leather jacket and headed out.
"But Oni-chan, your FD is just a two seater. Do you want to fit our parents in the boot?" Asuka started laughing. Jin wasn't in the mood for jokes, and got even more angrier now.
"This is NOT the time to be cracking jokes and to be laughing, Asuka! I have owned the RX-7 for 6 years, and you think I wouldn't know that? I am going to Matsumoto's and get a Lancer Evolution or something and you, better get ready by then."
"Yeah, whatever aniki. Come soon, alright?" Saying this, Asuka continued her search for belongings amidst the pile of rubble, while the FD took off with a high pitched note, reflecting Jin's mood like a mirror.
Jun sighed. "Like father, like son.", she muttered to herself.
"Did you say something, Jun?" Kazuya asked her, knowing it quite well that she had commented about him.
"Nothing special, just that he has your anger, Kazuya." Jun said, looking at his face waiting for the reply.
"I used to have that anger, till the day of our encounter with True Ogre. I have changed now, Jun." He replied back calmly. "As long as this house and dojo is concerned, it'll take an awful lot of money to get it resurrected. But the original feel of the place is lost forever..."
(After 15 minutes)
Jin and Seiji arrived, in a blue Impreza and the silver FD respectively. Jin came out, looking happy with the Impreza he had just driven. Seiji looked at the pile of rubble and sighed.
"A single day cannot go without a fight in this family. It is almost as if they were born to fight. It is the strangest family I've ever seen." He thought to himself. "Oh, by the way Jin, what's this Impreza for?"
"We need to make an urgent trip to Tokyo, for the usual family business. I'll return it to you as soon as possible, I promise Matsumoto-san."
"Well then, I'll be off now. See you again, Jin." Seiji walked off at a leisurely pace, looking at the burnt house till it faded out of his sight. Jin then took the bag of belongings and stuffed it in the boot of the Impreza, and then signalled his dad to drive it. Kazuya was reluctant.
"It is way too flashy for my liking, especially with the body kit, spoilers and all. Couldn't you get a stock one instead?" He said and shrugged his shoulders, expressing his disapproval of the car. Jin smiled. "It is the time to take action, dad, rather than worry about something like the looks. Now please get in. Asuka, you too get in the Impreza." Saying this Jin sat in the FD with a smile on his face, which he used to have everytime he sat in it. After all, he had shared many sweet and precious memories with it, Shin and the Wangan Expressway. He soon lost himself in deep thought, only to interrupted by his younger sister.
"Aniki, I want to ride with you instead."
"W-What did you say?"
"I SAID, I want to be with you instead being with Mom and Dad."
Jin sighed, as his plan of making Asuka spend some time with their parents had failed. He thought how hard it must have been to accept the fact that Kazuya was her real father, especially when she was raised by her uncle all the time. He opened the door for her, and started the engine and the family drove off.
