Note: Some of you may want to know who Jiro's mother is. I will actually keep that a mystery. I find it more interesting when other people like to make their own assumptions on things that have never been fully revealed or were not mentioned at all. It makes things more exciting XD.

Chapter 3: Jin's Secret

After Jin had left Jiro, Jin went off to his office at the Mishima Zaibatsu. Jin kept this from Jiro because what Jin does at his office was best kept a secret from his dear son. Jin not only didn't want his Jiro to know much about the King Of Iron Fist Tournaments, but he also didn't want Jiro to know anything about the Devil Gene his family have had for the past genereations. Jin feared that Jiro has been cursed with the fate of the Devil Gene in his veins, but Jin unsure of the matter, so far no signs have been shown, but the nightmares Jiro has been having might be linked to the matter, much to Jin's horror.

At his desk, Jin looked at a picture he had of Jiro as a child in his father's arms, Jin smiled, "My dear son, how you have growned, if only you didn't have to suffer like this with me lying to you. But it's for your safety…." not only is Jin lying to Jiro about his work, Jin is also keeping his entire family a secret. If Jiro were to know about Kazuya Mishima, Heihachi Mishima, or worst…..Jinpachi Mishima, Jiro may possibly be completely upset to know about the dangers they held. That is why Jin has the two of them living in a house in the forest because not only is that the way his mother raised him, it was also an easier way to keep Jiro safe from all of them. The last and final secret was Jiro's grandmother, Jun Kazama, Jiro had resembled her so much that Jin could not possibly ever imagine of disowning Jiro, that is the reason he had Jiro wear a white headband, it reminds him of Jun. Because of the tragedy Jin had of losing his mother, it was best for Jiro to not know anything about his father's terribly and tragic past, all Jin wants is to be a good father and for Jiro's happiness. "Jiro must remain in the dark, he must not know anything about my life, he is all I have left".

Suddenly, Jin received a phone call, it was Jiro, Jin had answered and tried to pretend nothing was wrong, "Hello, Jiro is everything ok?" Jin asked. "Everything is ok father, dinner is ready, when will you be home?" Jiro replied, "I'll be back late again, I'm sorry…Jiro" Jin said. On the other end, Jiro had a sad expression on his face, but he tried to hide this, but it wasn't easy for Jiro was never a good actor "I understand, I'll leave some leftovers for you like usual, see you in the morning, good night." Jiro said, "Good Night and sweet dreams, my son….." Jin replied. Jin hung up his phone, his hand became an angry fist, and he punched the wall leaving a hole. Jin was angered and tired of all his lying to his child. What is he to do?
