Midnight Beauty

Author's Note: Hello my fellow readers, I've come back to say that each chapter will be rewritten. Now that I'm older I seem to find my old chapters to be filled with many mistakes and so I will fix them and add more details. Anyway I'm glad I've finally found time to come back to this and get rid of some writer's block that I have as well. Well let's start this new chapter shall we? And… Here… We… Go!

Xiaoyu's Pov:

When my mother first met my father it was just a whole big mess. She never thought she would come to love this "monster" everyone seemed to fear. He was out for revenge against my grandfather Heihachi Mishima. Now before I go even further I must confirm to you that yes I'm a child to Jun Kazama and Kazuya Mishima, meaning I'm from the cursed bloodline. Now as I was saying my mother Jun faced him in a tournament that my own father had made (Tournament you might question, well yes we're a rich family). He faced her with a look of pure hate and yet I don't even know how but she fell for him deeply. She kept trying to reassure my brother and I that deep down he had a kind spirit. Some of you must be wondering who my brother is, well it's Jin Kazama of course. You know guy with spiky hair and doesn't say much. Well yeah him. Weird right since I'm different from how he acts completely. I always compare him to Kazuya, he gets mad of course. Well from the time after the tournament ended my parents conceived Jin. They were happy for a bit but then finally after three years he left. My mom didn't hear from him there after and during that time she found out she was with child. That child was me. I grew up normal, but mother always kept an eye on Jin and I. I didn't know at first why but then when Jin turned fifteen something horrible happened. A strange but strong monster attacked us, Jin tried defending us but he was too weak against it. We lost mother in that accident. Of course before this had even happened she kept telling us if that something ever to happen we would need to look for Heihachi. We eventually found him and he let us into his home.

Jin wanted revenge for the monster that killed our mother; grandfather assured him he would get his revenge. We trained every day in Mishima style martial arts. I never wanted to partake in these activities but of course my grandpa wouldn't have it. He said I needed to; that no grandchild of his wouldn't ever learn in what was tradition to our family line. The third tournament came around the time Jin turned nineteen and I was sixteen. That's when I first met a familiar red head, Hwoarang. He became rivals with Jin but with me, he grew to have a soft spot for me. Jin would always get mad whenever I mentioned him in a conversation. He said I shouldn't have contact with a delinquent like him. I never listened though. Anyway it came to the end where Jin was going to go against Ogre, I had lost against him. That night I never saw him again until a year later. I received an email from someone anonymously but I knew it was from Jin. Grandfather had still kept me with him but deep down I knew what Jin had said in that email was true. So I left the Mishima mansion and got a job at a bar. At that bar I found myself pretty close with a certain red head. We started out as friends but I grew to love him.

The fourth tournament caught my attention pretty quickly, there were rumors my father was alive. Some company named G Corporation had brought him back from death. This also brought Jin out of hiding too because I was face to face with him at the last stage. Uncle Lee didn't know of this but grandfather had arranged for a little "reunion". My surprise was when Kazuya showed up. He didn't know of why my presence was there. I couldn't tell him, I couldn't say that I was his daughter. That during the time he was about to leave our family he had left me behind. To him Jin was the only child he had. Tears were in my eyes as I saw my brother in pain. I begged for it to stop. What surprised me was when I felt an evil presence come from both Jin and I. Strange markings grew on the both of us and my back hurt from whatever was growing out of it. That's when Kazuya found out I was his daughter. He couldn't question it since the devil gene in me proved it. At that time I couldn't control my powers, I went crazy against anyone in front of me. That was until I saw an image of my mother. Apparently Jin saw it too since that's what stopped him from killing our grandfather. This time we left together. I left without saying goodbye to Hwoarang. He looked for me everywhere but I didn't leave a trace behind.

I was scared of what I had become; it took me a while to accept it. Jin told me this was the reason he left me behind back when I was sixteen. I accepted his apology but deep down I felt bad I had left the love of my life without a word said. How I wanted so badly to talk to him. But that wasn't until the news of Kazuya leaving Heihachi behind to die and someone else to start the fifth tournament. I didn't want to join but Jin told me he felt there was something that was calling out to him to go so I followed. During this time I saw him come close to a brunette called Julia Chang. I could see in his eyes he was in love with her. She knew what we were. Her mother had explained the curse to her. At first she didn't trust us since grandfather had kidnapped her mother but she soon realized we weren't involved in that. During this time Hwoarang tried getting close to me again, my heart bled every time he would get mad when I wouldn't explain to him what had happened and why I left. I couldn't bring myself to say that not only had I changed but that maybe just maybe I could hurt him more than just with feelings. So I ignored each advance he tried with me. When finally we had found what Jin had said that brought him to this. Jinpachi Mishima appeared in the final stage and Jin won. This would make him the successor of Mishima Zaibatsu. I was second in line.

This brings us to now a days, the world is at war. I don't even recognize my brother anymore. He's become distant yet he still holds a relationship with Julia. They declared their engagement about a month ago and at the same time a claim for Jin's dead body was placed. Nina Williams and Eddy Gordo have become bodyguards for us and Bruce Irvin with Nina's sister Anna has become the same for my father. Meanwhile I'm just trying to stay at peace with everything that's going on. Although I'm seen as the sister to who has caused so much damage I'm not as a dangerous to people like he is. You may be wondering if I've looked for Hwoarang, the last thing I knew about him was that he was currently interested in a little rich blonde girl I know as Emilie "Lili" De Rochefort. I lost him.

"Your brother is looking for you." I looked towards the doorway to find Julia in a green dress with black heeled boots and a silver heart necklace Jin had given her. She came closer to where I was sitting at the window. Birds were chirping outside and I put my knees up into my chest, "What for?" I hadn't been sleeping well lately so bags were starting to form under my eyes. I've been restless, something just didn't feel right. "I'm not really sure; I believe it's something important though." I just sighed and went back to staring outside. I wasn't in the mood for conversation with him, "Tell him I'll be in his office in a bit. I'm not really presentable." She just nodded and left, I actually could care less how I looked in front of him. I just wanted to gain some time. I had no energy to really get up and just go. But I really was curious as to what he had to say to me.

I quickly showered and dressed in a light denim no sleeve shirt with red shorts and grafittied black boots. Left my hair down which was covered in red highlights and just exited my room and went down the stairs to find Lars, one of the Tekken soldiers, around Jin's office. He really reminded me of my grandfather for some strange reason. I entered through the doors and Jin was sitting there deep in a conversation with Eddy which soon stopped once I was seen, "It's nice of you to join me Xiao. I've been waiting for you." Eddy left and I took a seat the opposite of him and just crossed my arms. The sooner we got this over with the sooner I could just leave and do whatever I wanted. "What's so important that I was called for? I mean you usually have small talk with me during dinner." He just smirked and placed a couple of documents in front of me. I picked them up and my eyes widened at what I read, "You are cordially invited to the Iron Fist Tournament Six… What the hell is this Jin? Are you serious? Do you really want to do this when you're wanted dead six feet under?" Jin just picked up the papers and got up to get a cigar from his drawer.

"Of course I'm serious; this is the only time I could think that would be perfect for me to do this." I just stared at him as if he had grown two heads. What was he planning besides this? "What else are you doing? I don't think you're just doing this for your own pleasure. Might I need to remind you I am co-owner and have the right just like you to know what the hell is going on." He grinned and a screen turned on showing some footage, "I found something called Azazel. Legend has it that if two strong opponents were to fight then they would release this monster out into the world. I want to see if this is true." That's when everything popped into order in my mind and I soon found why he was doing this exactly. My father was a part of this little scheme he had. "You're going to bring dad into this aren't you? Jin this isn't funny! Not only may this risk your life into death but may I remind you that you have a fiancée getting ready to marry you. Not only that but don't I get to say anything, we're siblings."

"I'm sorry but I already made up my mind to do this, plus Julia deserves to be with someone else. I'm not the right man for her. Now don't get me wrong I love her, but I rather sacrifice myself and let her continue on with her life." I bawled up my fist and slammed them onto his desk and he didn't even flinch, "Are you stupid? She only loves you! Don't do this, don't break Julia's heart." Although I didn't like the girl it didn't mean I was just going to let him do this to her. I knew what it felt like to lose the love of your life. "You don't even like her that much. Anyway I'm doing this even if you oppose to it. Hopefully this brings peace." He put his cigar down into a tray on the desk and put his hands together as he looked at me, "I know this is a lot to take in Xiao but you had to know. I also expect you to join the tournament. If anything happens…" I turned my head to the right; tears were forming in my eyes as he spoke. If anything happened to him then what would become of me. We were family, the only ones left to this cursed bloodline.

"I want in on this too. I'm not just going to let you go against Kazuya on your own. I know I may not be at full extent with the devil gene but I've been practicing a lot." He glared at me, I didn't care. I wasn't going to let the last of my family go alone with this, "No Xiao, this has nothing to do with you at all. You may be the only one of this cursed bloodline to do any good. You may not know it but mom left behind something good in you. You're different than me." What did he mean different? We both had the devil gene. Was there something he hadn't told me? "What are you talking about? How can I be any different than you? We are both Mishimas, meaning we're not nice. I mean sure the only time went crazy out of control was back in the fourth tournament but I didn't really know what was going on." He didn't say anything at first but then he brought a file with my name on it," You inherited something mom possessed called the angel gene. I don't carry it, only you do. So no Xiao you're different than dad and I. You're the key to saving our family. Once I'm gone you will be put in charge and change everything. I can't do that." I looked at my file, if I have this then why have I never been able to use it?

"But Jin, I won't be happy. I won't have anyone with me. You're all I got as family goes." The screen changed into footage of a girl with short brunette colored hair who was fighting in a similar style like moms. "No you won't, that girl is our cousin. Her name is Asuka Kazama. She's part of mom's family. Her father is our uncle. She competed in the last tournament but was defeated before you could even see her yourself." He knew we had a cousin, we had family. My heart churned from the news. I come to find this out at the same time my brother is telling me he's going to be doing a suicide mission. Just great. "Does she know?" He shook his head and shut off the screen playing the footage of her. She had no clue we were her family. That our mother was her dear aunt. "So there isn't any way I can change your mind Jin?" I sighed because I already knew what he would respond with. Once he had put his mind into something he wouldn't go for a different route.

"No, and I wish that Julia didn't find out about this last part. She'll be joining us in the tournament as well. Hwoarang will also." I bit my lip, whenever I heard his name it just hurt to know he wasn't mine anymore to love. "How do you know?" Jin rose from his seat and looked outside, "If I know him very well he won't miss out on this opportunity to go against me. Especially if you're there as well." I didn't say anything. He was right, that idiot would come just for the fun of it all. Winning didn't matter to him; all he wanted was to go against Jin. They were rivals of course. "I doubt if he cares much if I'm there. He moved on to Lili. I have no spot in his heart anymore." Jin just laughed; I didn't really find what was so funny to him. "You really believe he's forgotten about you? Oh please I saw the ways he would look at you. Even though I hated it so badly I knew he loved you back. For fuck sake Xiao are you that dumb to really think he's over you."

"Fuck you Jin; at least I'm not leaving the one I love behind for god knows what to happen to her! Don't say I'm stupid when you're bullshitting me with this whole idea of yours. I can't believe I'm getting love advice from someone who is letting go!" He pushed me to the wall and I couldn't get his grip off from my arms. Damn! "I have my reasons for this, don't just rant off about something you don't even know much about. Now listen carefully, I don't want you mentioning this to anyone. This is between us." I rolled my eyes but nodded and he let go of me. I wouldn't say anything else but that doesn't mean I would go with it. I would find a way to stop this. No one else would end up dying. "Fine, but don't expect me to agree with everything that is going on. I'm not just a rag doll." I left his office without him saying anything back to me. I would soon have to start training again. I wasn't too out of shape but I was getting a bit flabby with my work.

"Ms. Xiao." I turned to see Lars still standing there outside near the door to Jin's office and he came closer to me, "Yes?" He made a gesture that whatever he had to say he couldn't anywhere near here and I followed him to the garden outside that I could see from my balcony. We stopped near the pink roses I had planted and then he finally faced me again, "I know we haven't spoken much before and that I serve under your brother but I would like to help you. I heard what was said in Jin's office and I know you're still planning on doing something." I crossed my arms and let him know to continue, that I was listening to what he was saying. "I've actually started a rebellion. Your brother hasn't found out about it yet. I would like you to join us." What he told me actually surprised me. A tekken soldier starting a rebellion against my own sibling, this was actually quite amusing to hear. "Tell me Lars, what are your reasons in starting this?" Of course they had to be important if he went out to do something that could cause him a death wish if Jin found out. But what could be so damn important?

"I have some personal reasons to this; let's just say you're not the only Mishima that has something to do about this." What did he know? I wasn't going to push him to tell me anything but sooner or later he would have to talk about whatever he meant. I didn't like secrets that involved me, "I'll join you, but under one condition. I get to be in charge with you. We don't do anything without my consent." I brought out my hand for him to shake. He just stared at it, probably thinking about what I had said to him. "Fine I agree, I'm glad you have accepted Ms. Xiao." We shook hands and I smiled at him. "Call me Xiao." This would be the start to a beautiful rebellion against Mishima Zaibatsu.

Author's Note: And here is the first chapter of Midnight Beauty, yes I know I've changed the whole story around but don't worry everything will come out to be a bit like what I had written before. This is just the beginning. Anyway I would like reviews full of respective criticism about my work and also if you have any questions feel free to ask. Thank you.
