Chapter 4: The Tournament's Announcement
Jin had returned home and it was late at night. He quietly came inside his home, trying not to awaken Jiro. Jin walked into Jiro's room and found his son sound asleep, Jin knew, however, that Jiro was upset because of his father's absence and Jin didn't blame Jiro for a second. He kneeled down, kissed his son's head, and stroked Jiro's black hair. Jin walked off and changed into his night clothes, which was just a pair of pajama paints as he slept shirtless. Jin than fell asleep hoping that Jiro won't find out his secrets.
Morning had come, and Jiro had gotten breakfast ready and changed into his uniform, this time he remembered to wear his headband, that way he didn't have to argue with his dad about it again. Jin walked in and ate breakfast with his son. "Jiro, your cooking seems to get better everyday" Jin said with a smile. "Thank you, father, I try my best" Jiro smiled back. After the two finished their breakfast, they proceeded to walk to Jiro's school, but suddenly Jin received a call on his cell phone. The two stopped for a second so Jin could answer. "Yes this is Kazama Jin" Jin answered. Jiro stood still and didn't say a word. Jin suddenly had a shocked look in his eyes, "WHAT? HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? THIS WAS NEVER DECIDED!" Jin yelled, Jiro suddenly jumped after hearing his father in anger. "Jiro I am sorry, I must head to the office it's very urgent" Jin said, Jiro nodded his head "I understand see you later father". Jin ran off leaving Jiro in confusion.
Jin was running back to his office, it turns out the next King Of Iron Fist Tournament had been announced without Jin's consent. Jin had wanted to post pone any tournaments so that Jiro wouldn't get involved in any fighting, not wanting Jiro to get hurt. When Jin arrived at his office, his employees tried to explain that they had no idea how the tournament was announced or who did it in the first place, all they do know is that there is nothing else they can do. "No…..Jiro…is in…danger…." Jin said completely horrified.
Back at school, Jiro was eating lunch on the roof with his friends Yosuke Fujiyama and Maika Dojima, Yosuke was an average nice guy, but was terrible in class, and was a bit of a perv. Maika was nice, understanding, and at times came off as a dumb blonde. "So Jiro, bro, what's up with you? You've been really spacey these days" Yosuke asked. "Yeah you haven't been very focused lately and you seem a little cold too" Maika added. Jiro was going through a rough time because of his nightmares and because of his dad's constant absence. Jiro didn't want to talked to much about his personal life, but all he did tell his friends simply is that he has issues sleeping, trying to mask that he had been having nightmares, luckily they both bought the story. "I'm find, it's the usual, I can't sleep that well, I'm ok though, so don't worry, I'll be fine" Jiro assured. "If you say so, but you can always come to us if you need to" Maika said. "Yes, I know-" Jiro suddenly frooze, he put his hands on his head as if in intense pain! Jiro fell on his side, still clutching his head, his friends stood up asking what was wrong with him or if he was ok. Jiro was suddenly sweating, and began to see images in his head. He saw a man that looked like his father with an evil smile and a red eye, another man with balding hair and a mustache, and finally a bunch of fire. Jiro opened his eyes and began breathing heavily. "Bro, are you ok?" Yosuke asked, Jiro stood up and ran away "Jiro wants wrong?" his friends asked echoing down the staircase. Jiro ran to the washroom and splashed water in his face. Jiro saw all those images he just saw in his many nightmares. Jiro now believes these images he has seen in these "nightmares" are visions! But what is the source of all this? What does it all mean?
Suddenly, Jiro heard voices from outside the washroom and slowly walked to the door. "Is it true", "Alright it's coming again", "Who will be in it this time?". Those were the kind of questions and comments Jiro heard. As he exit the washroom, Jiro was confused at what was going on. Students were running toward the school yard for something. But what? Jiro followed all his classmates to the school yard. Upon making it to the school yard, Jiro found a large poster advertising for the next King Of Iron Fist Tournament! A tournament that brings together fighters from all over the world for a huge amount of money as the reward. Jiro was amazed at the reward money, but that's not what he was to concerned about, for some apparent reason Jiro couldn't help but shake the feeling that if he enters this tournament, he may find the answers he is seeking…
Yep, Jiro will be entering the tournament. How is Jin going to take it? We will find out in the next chapter? Tell me what characters you would like to see and how they will interact with Jiro please. Thank you very much and continue reading my story.
