The Saga of Great Uncle Asshole And The Priest From Hell

It's thanksgiving (in the US) so have a family gathering disaster that is old enough to be funny. Almost a decade ago, after a life of stirring up drama everywhere she went, my grandmother died. She was an unhappy woman who tried to be better to her grandkids than she was to her kids, and didn't always succeed, and she's the reason that when I smell cinnamon tic tacs they're accompanied by the reek of an illusory cigarette. This is not a sad post. This is a post about the fact that her funeral was a fucking disaster and it was ultimately about 50% her fault. See, my whole family was at one point or another catholic. Grandma really enjoyed going to church in her last years because it got her out of the nursing home, and priests have to listen when you tell them about the husband you divorced and the children who think they know better than you. Grandma did not consider the fact that the local priest she'd latched onto like a talkative moray eel in a cloud of nicotine smoke was an unmitigated bigot. She left instructions that she wanted her funeral to be at that specific catholic church and for that priest to do the sermon. It didn't occur to her that the person who would be organizing her funeral would be her gay daughter and her daughter's wife.

Shit started getting real about when the doors opened to recieve mourners. Over the course of ten minutes, my aunt summoned:

her elder sister, a paralegal

my father, who has never seen a conflict he would not cheerfully walk away from

Their younger brother, in order to swear at the priest

My mother, who hadn't had a good opportunity to fight a priest since we left our own church and was game to do it again.

This left me, the eldest grandchild, in charge of the receiving line, despite the fact that I knew approximately no one there. My brother and cousins were woodenly shaking hands and then whispering "who's that?" "I don't know." My aunt's husband was escorting the elderly and infirm up the stairs one at a time. My uncle's wife was also around but she knew even fewer people and was mostly listening at the door of the ongoing argument.

So when my brother and Boy cousin went to see if we could pry someone who knew who was related to us out of the argument and I was busy trying to convince an octegenarian that she did NOT need to figure out which of her cousins had married one of grandma's siblings before sitting down, Girl Cousin was alone at the door.

Great Uncle Asshole arrived in a storm of curses and a faux-coonskin cap. He blew past Girl Cousin, thumped his cane up the steps, and seized my hand. It was like shaking hands with an extremely strong mummy. "You look just like your mother! It's the hair, what a bird's nest. Where's your daddy? And the rest of Helen's brood."

I muttered something about them finalizing details with the priest.

"Well, they'll come see me soon enough. Bet you don't know who I am!" I didn't know who anyone was. Everyone older than me was having a verbal cage match with a member of the clergy or escorting some other old fogey to their seats, everyone younger than me had even fewer clues, and my only hope was to wrap this conversation as fast as possible. "Nope!" I said, "I haven't seen most of the people here in years." If I had ever seen them in the first place. He was going to be mad, but I figured if I had to be the bouncer I could probably take an eighty-something year old guy who breathed like the surgeon general's personal warning to smokers. I could at least shut the door on him.

"Of course you wouldn't! Your gran wouldn't have told you. I'm your great uncle Roger, and I'm here to bury the hatchet, by which I mean your grandma! She and I swore over our father's casket we'd never be under the same roof again while we both lived, and by god I kept my oath!" People were starting to stare, and it was at this moment that a thirty-something man in a suit sprinted up the stairs, and my uncle's wife, with a look of dawning horror, called her husband. "Roger's here." The middle aged folks descended immediately. Here is a snapshot of the ensuing conversation: "Roger, why don't we find you a seat?" - my mother in her best teacher voice "Glad to see you're doing well enough to make it" - My father, in his best 'good god I want to be anywhere else' voice. "Take me to the coffin! I want to see her with my own two eyes!" - Great Uncle Asshole, "And hang up my **** hat! Killed it myself!" "I'm so sorry, I didn't know he could walk that fast" - strange suit man "If you are QUITE finished, I am starting the ceremony in ten minutes" - the priest

As my father and his brother towed a grinning and cursing old man to the furthest reaches of the family section, my mother and my oldest aunt caught all the cousins up on the argument with the priest. My youngest aunt was still crying while her wife stared fixedly at the stained glass panes and periodically handed over tissues. The upshot of it all was that my aunt and her wife would be allowed to attend the funeral (on pain of the whole family literally walking out on the priest) but would not be allowed to take communion, because the priest didn't believe in their marriage. My aunt's wife had neglected to point out that, being Jewish, she wasn't going to take communion anyway. "That's fucked" said boy cousin, and the four of us immediately resolved in whispers to refuse communion as well. The priest opened his sermon with pointed remarks about the older generation's devotion and respect for the church. He continued on through psalms and all that until he got to the blessing of the eucharist and asked the family up to receive communion. My father, who hadn't taken communion since I could remember, stayed seated. My mother stayed seated. My aunts and uncles stayed seated. The cousins stayed seated. About a third of the church didn't move. "Well father, I'll have mine! These young folks think hey have all the time in the world to get right with the lord, but you and I know better!" The priest, who had been visibly hoping god would smite us, turned a wincing glare on my great uncle and the series of distant relatives and nursing home neighbors who were now shuffling up. The service dragged on. We were lined up to say goodbye to everyone, while the suit man (who would turn out to be my second cousin) bodily hauled great uncle asshole and his coonskin cap down the stairs. "I should have known my sister wouldn't manage to raise any good Catholics! Horrible woman." he said loudly as he was stuffed into a car driven by suit man's apparent twin. The priest approached as we were finally ready to leave, to ask why we were so stubborn that we deprived ourselves of communion. After all, unlike my youngest aunt, we weren't obvious sinners! "Oh, I'm Lutheran" - My eldest aunt. "I'm an atheist" - My uncle "I don't think you're qualified to bless anything." - My mother, who learned her religion primarily from a horde of socialist-leaning nuns.

With that, we left the wreck of my grandmother's funeral behind. "Helen," said my mother, very deliberately, when we were safely in the car, "would have HATED that." My dad started laughing. "Are you kidding? She would have loved that! It would have been all she complained about for years!"

#and then we had to go to the funeral luncheon #where we properly met the second cousins #explained the tea about the priest to them #and played a rowdy game of 'which of us is going the most to hell according to conservative catholocism'#which I won only by virtue of being the only out queer cousin #at the time anyway #apparently I was the only kid great uncle asshole knew existed #because he and grandma had had their falling out when I was ONE #Also grandma and great uncle's father was a piece of work #so all around a disaster zone #grandma STILL managed to drop a drama bomb on the following thanksgiving #from beyond the grave #because in her papers she left behind accusations that grandpa had cheated on her #at this point they had been divorced for over thirty years!

1st Class SOLDIER boys spending Thanksgiving with their S/O

A/N: HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!! This year, the SOLDIER boys decide to spend Thanksgiving with their beloved Y/N; I wonder how it'll go...?

♡Sephiroth♡

-Shows up to your house bearing a large bottle of pumpkin pie flavored wine (Yes, that exists) and a jar of Cool Whip, thinking that's a suitable dessert.

-Due to having grown up in a lab, the man has no idea what you're supposed to eat for Thanksgiving. He thinks it's just a day where your entire family gets together and eats for no reason.

-This man cannot cook a turkey for the life of him. Don't even let him try, he'll find a way to burn the turkey and make the baking dish explode in the oven, regardless of what it was made of.

-Drinks the cranberry sauce, not understanding it's for the turkey, and tries to mash potatoes with the hilt of Masamune.

-Fortunately, this man is not entirely hopless; he's tall enough to hang all the decorations without a stepladder, so there's that.

-When the Thanksgiving dinner is finally ready, he'll find that he actually enjoys eating turkey, especially the crispy turkey skin, and soon becomes addicted to sweet potato casserole. Potatoes with marshmallows!? He had no idea such a combination could exist and taste this good!

-He had a great time at your place; it was a welcome change of pace, being around all your family members at once, experiencing the familial love he never had.

-He ended up eating way too much, just so he could continue hanging around you guys, and had to literally waddle out the door because of how stuffed he was. 🌝

♡Genesis♡

-Unlike Sephi dearest, Genesis actually knows what Thanksgiving is and how to celebrate properly. His cooking skills are pretty basic, so he ends up gifting you an apple pie cobbled together from store-bought dough and canned filling.

-Very talkative; gets along quite well with all your family members and gets on all their good sides by talking about memories with you.

-His favorite foods are mashed potatoes and gravy. He just cannot get over how creamy they are and how delightfully savory the gravy tastes.

-As mentioned earlier, his cooking skills are basic, so he can help out in the kitchen, but only to a certain extent. He can help mash potatoes, mix sauces, keep an eye on the turkey, etc., basically, he does the stuff an eager 10-year-old does.

-Unfortunately, with Genesis, not everything has a happy ending. Just when you think the night is progressing properly with everyone socializing jovially and having fun, Genesis decides to cause some drama over something as small and insignificant as a housefly that had the misfortune of buzzing over his head.

-The minute he caught sight of that fly, his mind snapped into Total Bitch Mode. He rises from the table with fury, knocking his drink over and sending silverware flying everywhere, shocking you and your entire family.

-He will scream like a banshee, then send a massive fireball hurtling past all your heads and crashing into the wall where that poor little fly once rested. Everyone is in shock as they try to comprehend what the actual fuck just happened.

-Despite this inconvenience, and the fact that there's now a smoldering hole in your wall, everything was quite fine. Genesis had a good time and so did everyone else.

♡Angeal♡

-Angeal is a man of dreams an honor. He knows how to cook. In fact, he knows so much, he takes over as head chef and magically turns into a dad overnight.

-According to him, it is now his solemn duty to cook the turkey, heat up the stuffing, and prep the dessert all at once, by himself. He adamantly rejects all assistance, claiming that a man with true honor can do all the cooking alone.

-Surprisingly, he pulls it off. The turkey was only a little bit burnt and the pie was only slightly too sweet.

-Angeal gets along well enough with most of your family and friends, and even ends up swapping recipes with several of them, though he very much preferred talking to you.

-His favorite foods are the deserts, believe it or not. He adores pie, especially pumpkin pie, and eats so much of it, he gets a massive sugar rush and a bloated belly. Poor guy.

-After everyone was done eating, his honor compelled him to tackle the mountain of dishes that everyone left behind, something you told him not to worry about. However, Angeal refused to listen to you, stating that it was his dream to do the dishes.

-Giving up due to his stubbornness, you left him to do his thing, only to come back an hour later to find an overflowing sink, wet dishes piled up literally everywhere, and a passed out angel on your kitchen floor. Turns out he'd eaten too much, and his food coma combined with over exertion from the daytime cooking caused him to fall asleep on the spot.

-All in all, everyone had a great time, and Angeal ended up sleeping in very late the next day.

Mini Fanfic #1246: The Most Intense, Awkward Family Reunion Ever. (Tekken)

12:45 p.m. at Leroy's Suite..........

'Doorbell Rings'

Sugar: (Barking at the Ringing Door in Front of Her)

Leroy: Shimmer down in there, girl, I'm coming! (Walks Out of the Kitchen and Straight to the Door) Gonna have me burn the turkey if you keep this.

Leroy opens the door in front of him, revealing to be Wang's student, Ling Xiaoyu, and her two boyfriends, Jin and Hwoarang, carrying their respective containers of meals in their hands.

JinHwoaXio: Happy Thanksgiving, Leroy!

Sugar: (Happily Barls at the Trio as She Lays Herself Down on her Back)

Xiaoyu: (Smiles Brightly at Sugar as She Crouches Herself Down and Gives Her Belly Rubs) And Happy Thanksgiving to good girl like, Sugar~ Yes you are~

Leroy: (Smiles at the Trio) 'Bout time y'all made it here. I was afraid you gotten yourselves lost or somethin'. (Walks Back to the Kitchen with Everyone Else Following Behind)

Jin: (Closes the Door Behind Him) We had more of a traffic problem if anything.

Hwoarang: (Rolls his Eyes in Annoyance) Don't even get me started on those wack jobs behind the wheels. I know they want meet back with their folks and all, but would it kill any of them not to drive around all deranged for once!?

Jin: Hm. Funny. Their recklessness on the road remains me of a certain biker we know in this very room.

Hwoarang: ('Scoffs') Get real. My driving skills aren't nearly as batshit insane as those jerkwads.

Xiaoyu: (Gives Hwoarang a Bit of a Stern Pout) Hwooo, do we need to have another talk about all of speeding tickets you've received for the last three years straight?

Jin: (Raises his Eyebrow at his Boyfriend) And how we have to help pay most of them for you?

Hwoarang: (Puts his Food Container Down on the Dining Table While Sighing in Defeat) No..........

Leroy: (Chuckles Lightly) I knew I made the right call inviting you three lovebirds. It'll be less chummy this holiday around.

Hwoarang: How chummy are we talking here?

Leroy: Getting invited to private rich gatherings chummy. ('Sigh') Kept losing hours upon hours of my life going there, but their food are pretty good to say the least.

Jin: (Simply Nodded at Leroy) We're grateful to be here regardless, Leroy. It's been a long time since I have a proper Thanksgiving Dinner myself.

Leroy: Really now? And I take it was during the time your mother was around?

Jin: (Simply Nodded) Correct. We didn't have many close relatives back then, so it would only be the two of us celebrating the holidays together. (Frowns a Bit) Until the night I had to leave her behind to fend our home from Orge.....

Xiaoyu: Oh Jinny~ (Hugs her Boyfriend's Arm) You will always have my condolences.

Leroy: (Takes his Hat Off From his Head and Lowers it Down a Bit) Ours as well, boy.

Sugar: ('Whimpers')

Hwoarang: Your mom seems like one hell of a woman to try and fight a monster like him off.

Leroy: Even more so considering she had to deal with Kazuya of all people, before you were even born

Jin: (Simply Nodded in Agreement) Yeah. She's one of a kind.

'Doorbell Rings'

Hwoarang: You invited more guests here, pops?

Leroy: No one besides you three- (Turns to Xiao) Unless that Panda friend of yours followed you here.

Xiaoyu: (Shakes her Head) No, Panda already went out of town to visit her family for the weekend. She sent me a picture and everything. (Shows the Boys a Picture of Panda Waving Hello on her Phone)

Jin: I'll see who's at the door. You three get everything situated in the meantime. (Walks Outs of the Room)

Leroy: You don't have to tell me twice. Let's get cooking, y'all. (Heads to the Stove)

Xiaoyu: (Gidding Herself Up with Excitement) I can't wait for you all to try out my peach cobbler and turkey styled meat buns!~

Hwoarang: You mentioning them alone has my mouth watering already........

As the rest gang preparing for the holiday feast, Jin makes his way to the suite's door as he said he would. Upon opening it however, his eyes begins to slowly widens at the middle aged woman with long black hair, standing right in front of him, giving him the most sweetest smile she could muster.

She may not look familiar to some, but her face alone was more than enough for him to recognize who that is within seconds. The woman who was once assumed missing, or at the worst, dead, a few years prior as well as the one responsible for giving him the power he needs to help save his world from utter chaos and destruction.......Jun Kazama.

Jun: Hi, Jin. Long time, no see~

Jin: (Almost at a Loss For Words) Mother....(Shakes his Head a Bit) It can't be. Is that really you?

Jun: (Gently Grabs Hold of Jin's Other Hand) It is, sweetie. I'm here now. (A Single Tear Fell Down From her Eyes) I promise I won't ever leave you from this world again.

Jin: Mother..... (Eyes Starts Watering Up a Bit) I-

???????: Will would you look at that.

Jin eyes starts to widen up once more as he notices another familiar face walking over to the door outside with an evil smirk on hs face. The last person he ever wanted to see again, let alone on a family oriented holiday such as this, his father, Kazuya Mishima.

Kazuya: Crying over your mother already? You're even more spineless than I thought you would be, boy-

Before he could finish his sentence completely, Kazuya felt a strong, hard hitting punch striked on his forehead by his own son, who now has a darkened glare in his eyes that could scare the toughest fighters in the universe off.

Jun: (Eyes Widened in Complete Shock at What is Happening in Front of Her Right Now) Jin!!

Kazuya: (Unfazed by the Punch Itself) Nice to see you too.

Jin: Leave.

Kazuya: On a fine holiday such as this.

Jin: Leave.

Kazuya: Come now. Is that really any way to treat your own guest and father?

Jin: Don't care. You're nothing to me. Get the hell out.

Jun: (Lowers her Son Fist From her Husband's Forehead) Jin, calm down, please. Your father is not a threat. Not anymore.

Jin: (Turns Back to Jun, Softening his Glare in the Process) How can you be certain of that, mother? For all we know, he could be scheming something without any of us even noticing.

Kazuya: (Crosses his Arms While Shrugging) I mean, I would if I'm at my office right now....

Jun: (Gives her Husband a Quick Glare) Kazu! (Turns Back to Her Son With Reassirance in her Eyes) I will keep him in check from tis day forward. Trust me.

Xiaoyu: Jin! (Walks Out of the Kitchen) Is everything okay over- ('GASPS') (Angrily Points at Kazuya) YOU!

Kazuya: (Raises an Eyebrow at Xiaoyu) Can I help yo-OOF!

Kazuya suddenly felt a fierce palm strike to the gut, delivered by Ling Xiaoyu, as it causes him to push back a bit.

Kazuya: (Bends his Upper Body Down and Holds Onto his Damaged Stomach in Pain) Insolent......

Xiaoyu: (Harshly Glares at Jin's Deviless Father) You have five seconds to walk out of this premise and never return or SO HELP ME- (Suddenly Gasps as She Finally Notices Jun Presence Before Helping Behind Her Boyfriend's Back) Jin- (Shyly Points at Jun) I-Is that-

Jin: ('Sigh') Yes, Xiao, this is my mother, Jun. (Turns Back to Jun) Mother, this my girlfriend, Ling Xiaoyu.

Jun: (Happily Greets Xiao) Hello.

Xiaoyu: Uhh- (Comes Out of Jin's Back and Greets Jun Back with a Nervous Smile on her Face) H-Hi, ma'am, my name is Ling Xiaoyu. I'm a martial artist, a student of the late Wang Jinrei, a-and despite everything, I am a firm believer that your son is a very good boi!!~

'A Bit of Silence'

Jin: (Gives his Girlfriend a Deadpinned Look on his Face) Really, Xiao?

Xiaoyu: (Pouts at Jin) I'm nervous outta my mind here, cut me some slack!!~

Jun: (Giggles Softly) I agree, Xiao, My Jinny Bear is a very good boi indeed~ (Playfully Pulls on her Son's Cheek)

Jin: (Sighs While Blushing in Embarrassment) Mother, please refrain from doing this in front of my-

Xiaoyu: (Starts Pulling on Jin's Other Cheek Eoth a Loving Smile on her Face as Well) The goodest, most sweetest boi in the world!~

Jin: ('Sighs in Defeat') Girlfriend.........

Kazuya: (Rolls his Eyes in Boredom) Another waste of time.

Hwoarang: (Walks Out of the Kitchen) Hey, what's the hold up over here- (Eyes Starts to Widened Before It Turns into a Direct Glare, Straught at Kazuya Himself) You motherfucker.

Kazuya: (Raises an Eyebrowat Hwoarang in a Bit of a Curious Manner) Hey, aren't you Baek's stude-

Kazuya suddenly gets kicked in the chest by Hwoarang, so hard that it sent his back flying towards a nearby wall behind him, bounce off it, and then fall back down on his knees.

Kazuya: ('Groans in Pain and Annoyance') All. Of my HATE!!

Hwoarang: Damn right. (Starts Walking Towards Kazuya While Cracking Both his Knuckles) And I'mma send you flying out of the building in the next five seconds if you don't get the hell up out here real quick.

Jun: (Quickly Got Behind of Kazuya While Giving Hwoarang a Motherly Glare) I will let you do no such thing, young man!

Hwoarang: Stand aside, lady! He's- Wait a second. (Starts Recognizing Who The Lady in Front of Him is) Mrs. Kazama? You're alive!?

Jun: (Giggles Softly) In the flesh, dear. You're Baek's student, yes? I hope he's doing well these days.

Hwoarang: Uh- (Starts Calming Himself Down While Rubbing the Back of his Head Back and Forth) Yeah. He is. I mean, he's at the hospital at the moment, but he's doing better these days, so don't worry! ('Groans') Where are my manners? Allow me to introduce myself: I'm Hwoarang, Master Baek's #1 student, motorcyclist, the boyfriend of Xiao and that idiot son of yours-

Jin: (Rolls his Eyes at his Boyfriend) As if you are any wiser....

Hwoarang: (Glares at Jin) Don't start with me today, smartass. (Crosses his Arms While Turning Away All Pompous Like) I happened to be the Most Wisest Man on this Very Planet. My students said so.

Jin: Pretty sure that's their way of sucking up to you, thanks to your lack of discipline.

Hwoarang: (Turns Back to Jin Woth a More Comical Glare) Don't tell me how to do my teaching job!

Xiaoyu: (Immediately Got Between Both her Boyfriends) Enough already! You BOTH are idiots. (Smiles Brightly) Whom I love very much~

Xiaoyu kisses Jin and Hwoarang's cheeks one by one before hugging both their arms. This, in turn, cause the two boys to blush while turning away a bit.

Jun: (Watching and Gushing Over the Trio Couple's Cute Banter With One Another) Isn't this wonderful, dear? Our baby has two partners to cherish and love~

Kazuya: (Gets Himself Back Up on his Own Two Feet) And they're both equally as much of nuisances as he is.....

Leroy: (Walks Out of the Kitchen) Alright, what the hell is going on in here- (Notices a Familiar Outside his Door) Oh, it's Kazuya. (Walks Over to his Bedroom) Hang on, y'all, I'll get my shotgun.

Jun: ('Sigh') Enough with the violent threats already, please.

Leroy: (Immediately Stops Moving as He Turns to See The Source of the Familiar Voice) As I live in breathe. (Smiles Brightly) Jun! (Walks Over to Greet Jin's Mother) Welcome back to the land of the living, girl, how you been?

Jun: (Happily Hugs an Old Friend of Hers) I've been doing wonderfully so far, Mr. Smith. It's still a lot to get used to, coming back to world after all this time....

Leroy: I'm sure you'll be able to get used to it overtime. It'll be like you never left at all. As a token of that, I can finally ask you this: What in the ever living hell do you see in that man to begin with? (Points at Kazuya Who is Flipping him Off Now)

Xiaoyu: (Frowns Firmly at the Woman as Well) That's what we've been wondering as well, ma'am.

Hwoarang: (Raises an Eyebrow at Jun) You are aware of all the heinous crap he pulled in the past, right? Cause I am MORE than willing to run them down to you.

Jin: (Glares at his Father) As do I.

Jun: ('Sigh') No need to do any of that, boys. I am fully aware of all the actions he has done and I do not condone any of them whatsoever. (Gives Her Baby Boy a Motherly Glare) I also don't condone what you've done in the past as well, Jin Kazama.

Jin: (Eyes Widened in Genuine Fear at What his Mother Is About to Scold Him On) Oh no.......

Jun: I understand that you want to get rid of that cursed devil gene out of you, but it shouldn't be the cost of putting our entire world into great ruins and putting yourself in grave danger as well.

Hwoarang: She is not wrong there, man.

Leroy: (Simply Nodded in Agreement) Mmhmm.

Xiaoyu: (Lays the Side of Her Head on Jin's Arm) That was really reckless of you to do, Jin.....

Jin: ('Sighs Heavily') I know. I'm sorry. (Kiss the Top of Xiao's Head Before Turning Back ti his Parents) I take it father told you about all of that?

Jun was about to say something until Kazuya chimes in on the conversation.

Kazuya: That I did! (Gives his Son an Evil, Cocky Grin on his Face) Not the innocent angel you think you are, huh you mistake of a br-

Jun quickly turns back to her husband with a silent, but fierce Death Glare in her eyes, shutting the former devil breed up completely.

Jun: (Sighs Once More as She Turns Back to Jin) Anyways, yes. He has told me about that incident. And it concerned me greatly. (Frowns Sadly) It also made me regret sending you to Heihachi even more.....

Jin: Mother, you were far too preoccupied fighting off Orge and protecting our home to think anything through that night. Not to mention that he was the only relative available at the time.

Jun: That might be true on both fronts, but I still knew exactly what kind of man he was beforehand and I apologize greatly for that, my son.

Kazuya: ('Sigh') And speaking of which.....We found out that- (Takes a Very Deep Breath as He Tries to Refrain From Blowong Up the Entire Suite with his Anger Alone) Heihachi out and alive somewhere......

Jin: (Eyes Widened I Shock of This News)

HwoaXio: (Eyes Collectively Widened as Well in Complete Shock and Disbelief) WHAAAAAAT!?

Leroy: (Couldn't Believe What He's Hearing Himself) That old, crusted son of a bitch didn't die in that active volcano after all!?

Kazuya: (Rolls his Eyes in Pure Annoyance and Frustration) Apparently not. He still as convinning and punchable as he always been since the last we've seen him.

Jin starts taking a very deep breath himself as well. Hearing that Heihachi is alive again should be more than enough to crash out, but after the battle and war he won against his father months, he became a changed man since. Never again will he let his anger and frustrations take back to the path of pure destruction, especially when he now has people in his life that he's more than willing to protect at all cost.

Xiaoyu: (Grab Hold of Jin's Hand Wothna Worried Look on her Face) Jin?

Hwoarang: (Place his Hand on Jin's Shoulder, Worried as Well) You gonna be alright, man?

Jin: Yeah. And as soon as I have enough strength to get rid of him for good, I'll be set for life.

Xiaoyu: (Gives Jin a Reassuring, Determined Look in her Face Along with Hwoarang and Leroy) Then we'll have your back on this.

Hwoarang: Always.

Jun: I'll help out too. It's the least I can do for letting go out in this cruel world.

Kazuya: ('Tch') Count me out. The only person is gonna kill that old man is me alone. (Turns Away From Everyone) No one else!

Jin looks around at everyone, with the exception of Kazuya, staring at him, ready to help and support him every step of the way going forward. This is a good feeling, the most good he ever had in his entire life in fact, and it was more than enough for our redeemed hero to accept their assistance by giving them a single nod alone.

Jin: Thank you. All of you. (Looks Back at Kazuya, Still Sulking in the Mid Distance Before Turning Back to his Mother a Few Seconds Later) Dp you truly still love that man, mother?

Jun: (Simply and Very Confidently Nodded) Yes, I very much do. I know it may be foolish of me to do, let alone helping him better himself after everything he has done in past and again, I do not nor will I evef condone any of it....(Let's Out a Sigh) But I know that deep down there's at least a tiny bit of decency within that black heart of his and I know for a fact that he still loves very much, after all this years- (Smiles Lovingly at her Husband) Just as much as I love him too.

Jun's words of hope and love hit Kazuya like a truck. To think a woman as foolish as her would believe in him that much after everything he put her and their son through.....It's a nice, warm feeling, it's not something he like nor he will ever get used to completely, but it's not something he hates either.

Kazuya: Jun......(Slowly Turns Back Jun....) I- (Only to Be Greeted by Jin's Darkened Glare Instead) ('Groans in Annoyance') What now, brat!?

Jin: If you ever break my mother's heart or dare try to harm her in anyway, shape or form, I'll kill you. Simple as that.

Xiaoyu: (Walks Up to Kazuya With a Darkened Glare of her Own) And if you ever try and hurt Jin as well, I will PERSONALLY erase you AND the entire Mishima Bloodline out of this world with my own two hands, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!?

Hwoarang: (Eyes Widened and Taken Aback by How Threatening his Girlfriend Is) ........Damn, Xiao, brutal much?

Leroy: Nah, let your girl cook on that one. (Lowers His Shades Down a Bit While Glaring at Kazuya Himself) Better yet, I'll help make sure your evil ass get sent straight to hell for good if you ever cross those lines.

Hwoarang: (Grabs his Chin While Thinking of a Warning Speech to Give to Kazuya) Hmmm......(Snaps his Fingers) Got it! (Points at Kazuya With a Glare in his Face) Hurt anyone in this room and I'll have my foot go straight up your ass!

Everyone in the room slowly turns their heads to Hwoarang, most of which (his lovers and Leroy) are giving him their respective deadpinned looks on each of their faces.

Hwoarang: What? That's was the only warning speech I thought of giving him!

Xiaoyu: (Gently Grabs Hold of Hwoarang's Hand and Pats It) Just leave the intimation tactics to.us next time, okay sweetie? (Kiss the Top.of Hwoarang's Hand)

Hwoarang: (Blushes Before Scoffing in Defeat) Whatever.

'DING'

Sugar: 'WOOF WOOF!"

Leroy: Ohp. The turkey's finally done. Time to get this dinner started now, people! (Walks Over to the Kitchen) Jun, you and your husband wanna join in as well?

Jun: (Happily Nodded) We love to, Mr. Smith, thank you.

Kazuya: And if I don't want to?

Leroy: (Stops Walking and Lowers his Shades Down at Kazuya Again) Then you can stay in that hallway and starve for all I care. (Continues his Walk to the Kitchen) Doesn't hurt my feelings one bit.

Kazuya: (Hears his Stomach Growling Before Groaning in Defeat) Forget it. (Finally Walks in the Room and Making his Way Straight to the Kitchen) The food in here better be worth my time.

Hwoarang: (Makes his Way to the Kitchen With his Arms Behind the Back of his Head) 'Bout time! I'm already starving by the minute.

Xiaoyu: (Follows Behind Hwoarang) Try not to eat it all up from the rest of us, alright Hwo? And don't forget your table manners! We're still guests here.

Hwoarang: Yeah, yeah.

Jin smirks at two of his lovers walking away before suddenly feeling his mother holding onto his arm.

Jin: (Turns to Jun) Something the matter?

Jun: No. Everything's fine. I just wanted to thank you for understanding and being patient with me.(Turns Away From Jin, Worried) I know you still don't trust your father completely.

Jin: I don't and I'm not certain that I ever will. (Looks Down at his Mother With a Small, Genuine Smile on his Face) But I do trust you. Always have. And as long as you continue to be safe and happy, that's all it really matters to me in the long run.

Jun: (Heart Begins to Melt in Genuine Happiness as She Hugs Her Son's Arm as Tears Starts Coming Down her Eyes) ('Sniff') Thank you. I miss you so much, Jin.

Jin: (Rest The Side of His Head on Top of Jun's) I miss you too, mother. Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving To One and All!!
