DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING!
Chapter Six
The next day, Xiaoyu went to Forest's match. She sat in the VIP area of the Tekken Arena and watched the fight. Forest fought against Feng Wei. It was a tough, competitive fight and Forest won the match.
After the match, Xiaoyu invited Forest to the VIP area. She congratulated him and told him to relax in the VIP area. Forest and Xiaoyu watched other matches from the VIP area. The VIP area had many delicious foods and drinks. There were fruit platters, sandwich platters, cheese platters, sushi platters and dessert platters. There were drinks like wine, juice, champagne and bottled water. Xiaoyu and Forest enjoyed the food and drinks as they watched the other Tekken matches.
Xiaoyu and Forest kept hanging out over the next days. The two friends were enjoying each other's company. Manabu drove Xiaoyu and Forest sometimes. He was very distrustful of Forest. He didn't know that Xiaoyu and Forest were just friends. He thought that Xiaoyu was having an affair with Forest. Manabu decided to take action.
Jin was in his office in the Zaibatsu. He was sitting down on his chair behind his desk, reading some important files. Just then, someone knocked on his door.
"Who is it?" Jin asked, still looking at the files.
"It's Nina."
"Come in."
Nina opened the door and walked in.
"What is it Nina?" Jin asked, still looking at the files.
"Your chauffeur Manabu would like to speak to you." said Nina.
Jin looked up surprised.
"Manabu? The hell does he want?" Jin asked.
"He says it's urgent." said Nina.
"Fine. Send him in."
Nina nodded and left the office. After a few seconds, she came back to the office with Manabu. Nina then walked out of the office and closed the door.
"Good afternoon Kazama San." said Manabu, bowing politely.
"Good afternoon Manabu. Please, have a seat."
Manabu sat on the chair across from Jin's desk.
"So..." said Jin, pouring a glass of scotch "…Nina told me you have something urgent to tell me. What's going on?"
Jin offered Manabu a glass of scotch.
"Oh, no thank you Kazama San."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure Sir. Thank you."
Jin shrugged and took a sip of the glass of scotch.
"Sir, I'm sorry to bother you...I know you're so busy...but I have to talk to you about your wife."
Jin's eyes went wide with worry.
"Xiaoyu…did something happen to her? Is she okay?"
"She is fine Sir."
Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
"She's fine, nothing bad happened to her. It's just..." Manabu sighed. "This is hard for me to say Sir."
"Hard for you to say? What the hell are you going on about?"
Manabu sighed.
"Your wife...she um...well, she is um..."
"Just spit it out Manabu!" Jin said irritated, raising his voice.
"Your wife has been seeing another man for the past week. Sometimes she drives by herself to go see him. Sometimes I drive the two of them. Every time I have to drive that man...I feel sick to my stomach. I feel like I am betraying you Kazama San. It was hard for me to tell you this Sir...but you had to know the truth."
Jin was in shock. Xiaoyu was a good person. There was no way in hell that she would cheat on him. Ever. He knew that he was a terrible husband, but he didn't think Xiaoyu would ever cheat on him. She was just too good of a person...unlike him. Jin was also enraged. If she was cheating on him, Jin was going to kill her lover with his bare hands. How dare some other man put his hands on his Xiaoyu? How dare some other man kiss her, touch her, fuck her...ugh...Jin started to feel sick to his stomach.
"Kazama San...are you okay?" Manabu asked, after Jin was quiet for many seconds.
"Who the fuck is this man she's been seeing?" Jin asked.
"Um Forest. Forest Law." said Manabu.
Jin scoffed.
"That wanna be Bruce Lee piece of shit." Jin thought to himself.
"Thank you for telling me Manabu. I appreciate your loyalty."
"You're welcome Kazama San." said Manabu, standing up.
Manabu walked out of the office and closed the door. Jin took a huge gulp of the glass of scotch.
"No one, and I mean no one will take my Xiaoyu away from me. Forest Law...you're a dead man."
Later that day...
7pm
Forest had been sparring for two hours in the condo gym. He left the gym and walked to his room. He locked his room door and went to his bedroom. He took off his sweaty shirt. He really wanted to take a shower. He was about to take off his karate pants, when there was a knock on his door. Forest sighed. He really wanted to take a shower. He walked to the door and looked through the peep hole. He was shocked by who was standing outside his room.
"The fuck is he doing here?" Forest thought to himself.
Forest opened the door and saw a smirking Jin.
"Jin? What are you doing here?"
"Is that how you greet an old friend that you haven't seen in a long time?" Jin asked, smirking.
"Well, we were never exactly friends."
"In any case. It's been forever." said Jin, smirking. "May I come in?"
Forest sighed. He unenthusiastically moved out of the way. Jin walked inside. Jin looked around and whistled.
"Nice place." said Jin, taking a seat on one of the sofas. "Didn't think your broke ass could afford a place like this."
Forest closed the door and went up to Jin.
"Not gonna offer me a drink? Man you Americans are very impolite." said Jin, smirking.
"I didn't invite you to my place Jin. You dropped by unexpectedly, so I don't think you should be talking about impoliteness here." said Forest.
Jin chuckled.
"Again...what are you doing here Jin? What do you want?"
"I think you know exactly why I'm here."
"Did Xiaoyu tell Jin that I confessed my love to her? Is that why he's here?" Forest thought to himself.
"It's about me and Xiaoyu isn't it?" Forest asked Jin.
"Yes it is." said Jin, smirking. "When I found out about you and my Xiaoyu…the first thing I wanted to do was to beat the shit out of you. I wanted to beat you up so badly that you would have ended up in hospital. Then after being discharged from the hospital, I would have sent my personnel to arrest you and put you in prison. However, your dad was my mother's friend. And your dad is a good man. So because of your dad…I decided to warn you to stay away from my Xiaoyu instead of hurting you. If you don't listen to my warning…I will make you regret the day you were born."
"Woah, woah, woah. Don't you dare come to my place and threaten me Jin Kazama!" said Forest, raising his voice. "You think I'm scared of you? Huh? Cuz I'm not! I don't care if you're this powerful, world dominating tyrant! You wanna fight me? Bring it! I will kick your ass!"
Jin stood up and went up to Forest. He gave Forest an angry, evil glare.
"You're having an affair with my wife you piece of shit. I can threaten you all I want." said Jin.
"Woah, what?! Affair? I'm not having an affair with Xiaoyu! We're just friends. We've just been hanging out is all."
"Are you lying that you're not having an affair with Xiaoyu? Because I've heard otherwise."
"Honestly Jin...you're a corrupt, awful person and you don't deserve an amazing, good woman like Xiaoyu. But even with all the bad things you do...Xiaoyu loves you. Xiaoyu would never cheat on you with me or any other man. You know that she's loyal to you. Trust me, there is nothing going on between me and Xiaoyu. We're just friends."
Jin was very relieved that Xiaoyu wasn't cheating on him. However, he didn't want to show Forest that he was relieved. He didn't want Forest to know what he was thinking. Jin continued to give Forest an angry glare. Jin had a very good poker face.
"Even if you're just friends...I never want you to speak to or see Xiaoyu ever again."
Forest had a look of shock on his face.
"Xiaoyu and I are really good friends. We've been friends for years...since we met in Tekken 3. I'm not going to stop talking to her." said Forest.
Jin smirked and sat down on the sofa.
"You will stop talking to her Forest. And you will stop hanging out with her. If you don't...I will sentence you to prison for 10 years. Maybe 20, or even 30. Depends on my mood."
"You're going to sentence me to prison for being friends with Xiaoyu? You crazy asshole! I told you that we're not having an affair!"
"I know you're not. But I'm not always at home and I don't like the idea of Xiaoyu spending so much time with another man."
Forest scoffed.
"I told you Jin...I'm not scared of you. You can threaten me all you want but I'm still going to be friends with Xiaoyu."
"Forest, buddy...if you so as breathe near my Xiaoyu...I will send your ass to prison." said Jin, smirking. "Do you really want to go to prison for 10 years or more? What about your parents huh? Your dad...your dear old dad is going through a lot of financial problems right now. Your dad's dojo and restaurant businesses are doing really badly. In fact...your dad almost filed for bankruptcy...right?"
Forest gave Jin an angry glare and kept quiet.
"And your mom...she had surgery recently right? Your mom is still recovering. Your dad is struggling financially. If you go to prison, that's going to make your parents' problems even worse. I mean...do you really want your parents to see their only child go to prison? 10 years in prison...do you really want your parents to go through that kind of hell?"
Forest's arms were by his side and he balled his hands into fists. He was clenching his jaw and giving Jin an angry glare. Forest loved his parents so much. He hated to admit it but Jin was right...going to jail for 10 years or more would absolutely devastate his parents. Forest couldn't put his parents through that hell.
"How did you know about the problems my parents are going through? Did Xiaoyu tell you?"
Jin chuckled.
"Xiaoyu didn't tell me anything about your family problems. She didn't even tell me that you two have been hanging out. I have the most powerful organization in the world. And I am the most powerful man in the world." said Jin, smirking. "I have intel on everyone."
Forest sighed.
"I will never see or talk to Xiaoyu ever again." Forest said, sadly.
Jin smirked and stood up.
"That's a good boy." said Jin, condescendingly. He patted Forest on the shoulder. Jin walked to the door and put his hand on the doorknob. Jin looked at Forest and smirked.
"This was a fun conversation wasn't it? Say hi to your parents to me. Tell your dad I'll send him 5 bucks in the mail." said Jin, smirking.
"You're not gonna get away with this Jin." said Forest. "All this bad shit you're doing...the way you keep hurting people...you're not going to get away with it. There's something called karma. If you don't change your ways...you're going to get what you deserve."
Jin chuckled.
"I'm the richest, most powerful person in the world. I'm not scared of karma." said Jin. He opened the door, walked out and closed the door.
Forest sighed and slumped into the sofa. He was so sad that he was never going to talk to or see Xiaoyu again. He was going to miss Xiaoyu. Damn that Jin.
"Xiaoyu...how can you love that monster?" Forest said out loud to himself.
