15 Years Old

(Four days before Jin's 15th)

"Jin, it's time that I told you the truth of whom your father is."

"Really?"

Jun held a solemn expression, and gave a slight nod.

"Your father was a man named Kazuya Mishima."

Jin quickly cut her off, as he felt his eyes were about to pop out from the revelation.

"You don't mean, the man who once owned the Mishima Zaibatsu, that Kazuya Mishima is my father?"

"How did you know about the Mishima Zaibatsu?"

"I might've been snooping around in your room the other day, and I came across a sort-of participants book for the competitors of the Second KOIFT, the young man admitted while rubbing the back of his neck in a sheepish manner.

"Back to our serious conversation. Yes that man is your father. And believe it or not, I sense a being of great evil is after me. If anything were to happen to me, I want you to seek out your grandfather Heihachi Mishima. Can you promise me that?"

"I promise, cross my heart. But how do you know that someone's after you? And why go to Heihachi and not my father?"

"I've been having strange dreams lately Jin, that's all I can say really. And about your father…he's deceased."

"I see." Jin glanced at his mother; her body language told him that she missed him so very much, so he approached the older woman and gave her a loving embrace.

"Happy Birthday Jinny!" Jun cheered as she wore a red and yellow party hat above her head whilst placing Jin's neatly and beautifully decorated cake that had flame designs on it.

They had planned for them to be celebrating outside but since the stormy weather had kicked in, they were forced indoors. Neither of them really minded.

Jun couldn't believe how quickly her son had grown up.

"My handsome boy is growing up too fast." Jun cheered and kissed his cheek.

The storm picked up suddenly, a huge flash and streak of lighting could be seen nearby from outside the kitchen window. The lightning that had just struck did a lot of damage, as the power to their house had just gone out.

"Hold, on I'm going to go and check on the generator that's outside."

"I'm coming with you mom." Jin lead the way, as he wanted to protect his beloved mother.

Whilst Jun was tinkering with the back-up generator, Jin was looking out at the surrounding area, puddles were everywhere; the roads were empty, as every other house around had no power.

A shadowed figure appeared out of nowhere, he spoke in his own language; quickly he scooped Jun up and tried to absorb her energy. Jin was on the defence and attacked the unknown being right away; with Jin using all of his energy he couldn't continue fighting anymore.

"I'm proud of you Jin. Remember what I told you? Please know that I love you…"

Jin heard the last words leave his mother's mouth as the mighty being landed one more attack on him, knocking him unconscious.

"I love you too mother…"

The teen faded into darkness.

When he had awoken he found that his mother was nowhere in sight and that his house was no longer standing.

Frantically he left Yakushima and was on his journey to find his grandfather.

That was until a dark spirit, with demon eyes stopped him, "you're all mine now." The entity bellowed as it floated inside of Jin's soul and began to morph with him.

When the process was over, it felt as if he were a slug and salt had been poured over his body. He had no idea what it wanted with him and or what would happen, but right now he had more important things to take care of.

Not giving up, he had to soldier on and find Heihachi Mishima. He was doing it upon his mother's wishes.
