Xiaoyu Kazama: Love Is Dangerous

Hidden Secrets

"Your great grandmother used to wear that necklace all the time, which brings me to the reason why you all are here." Heihachi got up.

Kazuya's eyes beamed. 'What could be possibly wrong with Mother?'

"There's something I've kept from you all and I think you should see it. Follow me."

Everyone got up and followed Heihachi into his backyard which was a beautiful garden still lavished in green in the autumn season. Admist all of the water in a koi pond, there was suprisingly a tombstone that read 'Mishima Kazumi'.

Jin, Lars, Lee, & Kazuya were in shock as well as the others. But their shock was the greatest.

"So you've kept me away from here...." Kazuya fell to the ground, "because she was here all along?"

Kazuya's fist became clenched as tears softly dripped onto them. Jun wrapped her arms around his shoulders but he only got up and angrily stomped away.

Xiaoyu somehow felt his pain; she could understand him. Jinrei kept her parents' graves a secret from her too. She couldn't help but feel bad for him.

'So this is where you are Grandma. Its a shame I couldn't meet you...' Jin thought to himself.

Heihachi felt his heart sink into his stomach as he remembered the dark deed he carried out.

"I'm sorry that I haven't told you before Kazuya. I didn't want it to interfere with your training with your grandfather.."

"IS THAT ALL YOU CARED ABOUT!? She's my mother....she was the only one who ever showed me any affection besides Grandpa... But you never loved her. After she died, you impregnated a Swedish woman with Lars, as if my mother never mattered to you." Kazuya weeped.

Lars eyes widened, "How could you be so heartless Heihachi...? Despite Kazuya, you were never there for me either..."

Avoiding the hurtful remarks and questions, he started toward the house, "I wish I knew."

...

Sitting on the bench under a red and gold tree, Honey was staring at the ground as she was fumbling with a leaf.

"Nice necklace." Yoshiro said as he sat next to her. He flashed her a smile but she didn't advert her attention to him. He brushed her hair behind her ear, "What's the matter? Why aren't you eating lunch?"

"I'm not feeling well...its like ever since I started wearing this necklace, I've been feeling strange. I didn't even get to put on my makeup....I look terrible." She hid her face in her arms.

"I don't ever remember you looking terrible." Yoshiro started as he nervously sipped his juice carton, "I think you're very....beautiful."

Honey slowly sat up and looked at him. His cheeks were slightly pink and they were filled with the sweet apple juice. She moved closer to him and his heart began to beat heavy.

"Yoshi,....thank you." She placed her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes angelicly. "I love you."

Yoshiro's eyes widened. He was hesitant at first, but he wrapped his arms around her and gently kissed her forehead, "I love you too."

At that moment, Honey's necklace flashed a blinding light of white. Honey quickly sat up, "Wow, I don't feel weird anymore!" She kissed Yoshiro on the cheek, "I'll see you after school, okay?"

Dumbfounded, Yoshiro replyed with an 'okay'.
