Afterward

Dinner and Shochu

Lee frowned as he furiously typed commands on the computer of his home office, Anna and Shasha standing right behind him with Tori squirming in the latter's arms.
"Babe, you sure you know where he's actually staying?" Anna asked, hoisting Tori up her arm slightly. "Because that house is too nice to be owned by... that..."
Lee smirked slightly. "Trust me, Queenie, this is exactly where he's staying right now."
The screen cleared and the satellite zoomed in the house's front door. Lee actually had more screens in one computer, three in one desktop, and they all focussed on different angles of the house. One for the front door, one for the back, and one facing the backyard.
"So this is how you spied on us in Yakushima," Shasha quipped as she watched.
"This is exactly how I did it," Lee smugly remarked. "Alright, now we wait."
"Wait what, just like that?" Shasha said in surprise.
Anna shrugged. "I know, right? I always wondered why we couldn't just hit fast-forward to see what happened after." She snorted. "That's when I realised this ain't The Sims. This is real-time surveillance feed."
Lee chuckled. "Yeah, I remember that. It didn't take long for you to realise that I'm not stupid enough to watch this without fast-forward."
"Yeah, I nearly forgot that this was live feed," Anna chuckled back. "Anyway, you guys wanna grab some popcorn or something? Some comfy chairs? Drinks? Snacks?"
"Snacks?" Shasha's eyes gleamed as soon as she heard that. "Sure!"

The Mishimas headed off to a rather fancy restaurant that also served alcoholic beverages, with a bar and all.
"You sure this is a good idea?" Lars groaned. "Like I'm ain't gonna be carrying drunks home tonight, aight?"
Jin snorted. "Nah, we aren't here for the drinks. This place serves amazing food as well." He shrugged. "But I can't guarantee that all of us are gonna be sober when we step out."
"Maybe just stay away from the drinks?" Jun suggested, trying to be optimistic. "Or don't order?"
Kazuya grunted. "Well, knowing our position tonight, I doubt it would be easy to stay away from alcohol."
Lars clapped Kazuya's back and aggressively rubbed circles on it, shaking Kazuya in the process. "Well, I don't mind one wasted person, so long as it isn't the entire family."
Jin joined in as well and pulled Kazuya in, leaving the two women outside. Jun turned to look at Amber and saw her staring at the place in concern.
"You okay?" Jun asked, placing a hand on the other woman's shoulder.
Amber shrugged. "I'm just scared, what if I get drunk and end up trashing the place? I don't know if I trust myself right now, Oneesan."
Jun sighed and gave her a pained smile. "I understand how you feel, but I'm here for you. I will make sure that nothing like that happens. Besides, it isn't you to act like that when drunk, you can barely even activate your powers in that state."
Amber couldn't help but smile. "Yeah, you're right about that..." she sighed. "I just don't know if I can enjoy myself after... you know..."
Jun chuckled and pulled Amber into the restaurant, an arm around her. "It's fine. But you just have to try. Heihachi isn't gonna do anything right now..."
Amber let Jun drag her into the restaurant and together, they made a beeline for the table that the rest had bagged. A waiter soon came, giving them welcome drinks before taking their order. To their dismay, Kazuya asked for a bottle of shochu.
"What?" He asked, as if nothing happened, when he caught them staring at him. "Can't I have some shochu?"
"Just don't get too wasted, Kaz," Lars sighed. "I saw how you drank at Lee's bar a few months ago. One bourbon just straight down the hatch."
Jun was concerned now. "Kazuya, seriously..."
"I was worried for you since you were so worried about something that we didn't know what it was," Kazuya quickly said. "So I guess I got a little stressed and downed the bourbon shot when we were having drinks at Lee's."
"Okay, but this shochu... we're sharing it, okay?" Jun added.
Kazuya shrugged. "That was the plan anyway. That's why I asked for five glasses."
Lars relaxed. "Okay."
"I like how Lars is more concerned for Dad getting drunk than anyone else," Jin snorted. "What about us?"
"You guys aren't as unruly," Lars added. "Also, Shochu can make a messy hangover tomorrow."
Jun groaned. "Great, now there's that. How am I gonna wake Kazuya now?"
"Come on, one or two shots aren't gonna do much," Kazuya reasoned. "Besides, the bottle isn't all that big."
"Well, knowing you, I'm worried that you'd ask for another," Lars said.
Kazuya grumbled in reply as he turned away.
"I don't think I wanna drink today," Amber shook her head as she spoke. "I'm scared that I might lose control of my powers."
"What do you mean?" Jin asked, sipping on his drink. "You always get so wasted when you go out with Nina and gang. Both of you."
Jun sighed. "Amber's just a little afraid since... she kinda lost control of herself the other day, she was in some sort of trance, and her eyes were glowing and stuff. So because of that, she's a little worried right now."
"Well, can't say we're not worried as well," Kazuya sighed. "Heihachi literally came ready for a fight."
Amber frowned as she nodded. "Ambushed poor Shasha too. Which reminds me, should we avenge her? Let's go bomb Heihachi's home!"
"You too?" Jun groaned. "Seriously, how much of Kazuya's DNA did they even put in you?"
"Ask Heihachi," Amber shrugged and proceeded to continue sipping her drink.
"There's enough of Dad's DNA in you for you to be considered relatives," Jin added. "We had you tested, remember?
Amber nodded. "Sounds about right. I can even be considered your sibling at this point." She showed him the Devil Gene mark that marked him as well.
Kazuya smirked. "Well, I guess I have a sister now." He turned back to serious mode. "But seriously, we all deserve justice now. Maybe we don't have to bomb him or anything, but we do have to give him a piece of our minds. All of us."
The shochu arrived first, way before their meal, and Kazuya brightened at the sight of it. It didn't take long for him to crack it open and pour out five glasses.
"Are you sure it's a good idea to drink this before a meal?" Jun asked, looking at the glass in dismay. "Alcohol on an empty stomach can have a really bad effect."
"Mom, forgot the snacks that we had earlier?" Jin smirked as he took a sip.
Jun frowned, realising that he was right. "Fine."
"Is there more in the bottle?" Lars asked, reaching for the bottle.
"Why, you want to get wasted so that you don't have to be the only sober one to take us home?" Jin gave him a knowing look.
Lars shook his head, bringing the bottle away from Kazuya. "I'm just afraid that some of us will be drinking more than we should..."
"Where's the food?" Amber quickly said. "Shouldn't it be here by now?"
"I'm wondering that too," Jun added, sipping her shochu. "But you know what, this shochu is good."
"Wanna have another round before food?" Kazuya enthusiastically asked.
Jun frowned. "After food."
"Fine," Kazuya sighed.
