Chapter 19:
Alliance
The four of them; Jin, Kazi, Hwoarang, and Denise, finally made a plan, but time was running out. It was now the fifth day of Ahlehana and Jin had begun to sense Devil's whereabouts, the only problem was, he needed help. Hwoarang and Kazi could only sense through each other and Denise couldn't sense other than the ordinary someone's-behind-you kind of thing. They needed someone who could sense Devil as well. They needed Kazuya.
"No." Jin shook his head.
"Why not?" Kazi asked.
"He won't do it." Jin gave her a cold stare, the one he knew she couldn't stand, "He'll backstab us in a minute."
"Peas....?" Kazi pleaded, giving Jin her ever-so-cute puppy dog eyes. Jin crumbled, since he had a love for 'cute' things as everyone called them.
"Uh..." Jin sighed, "Fine." Kazi jumped and threw her arms around his neck. This surprised Jin and made Hwoarang want to kick his ass. Kazi pulled back,
"Off to Kazuya's!" Kazi shouted. With that they were. Hwoarang admitted to Kazi that he didn't like the thought of having Kazuya Mishima on their team as well and her hugging and calling Jin by his first name. Kazi could do nothing, but annoy and disobey him all because he said not to. Kazi laughed each time she called Jin by his first name and actually hugged him from behind. Hwoarang knew she was just playing with him and that she didn't really like Jin that way. They arrived at Kazuya's fortress and ordered the people to open the gate by Jin's means.

"Join your little 'savoir group'?" Kazuya almost burst out in laughter. In which he did. Jin frowned at Kazuya's laughing and whispered to Kazi,
"I told you." Kazi rolled her eyes and whispered back,
"Jackass." Jin grinned at her words.
"I know." Kazi pouted and walked over to Kazuya, who was regaining his 'posture'.
"Kazuya." Kazuya looked at her.
"What?"
"Look, Jin says he can sense Devil. Ahlehana has come." Kazuya raised an eyebrow at Kazi's
words.
"Ahlehana is a myth. Nothing real."
"No it isn't." Kazi got serious.
"Yes it is." Kazuya said, provoking a fight.
"Then how do you explain all of the disappearances? How would you explain the sudden natural disasters that have gotten worse by the day?! HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN BLOODY FUCKNG DEMONS FLYING THROUGH THE DAMN AIR AND SHOOTING FUCKING EYE BEAMS AT EVERYONE AND CACKLING MANIACLY AT SURVIORS BEFORE BLOWING THIER FUCKING HEADS OFF?!" Kazi screamed, waving her hands crazily through the air. They thought she had reached her highest point. Kazuya raised an eyebrow and the others, including Jin and Hwoarang, recoiled against the opposite wall.
Jin almost laughed at his sudden thought, 'If Kazi is brave enough to scream in Kazuya's face, she'd be able to confront Devil.' Jin looked at Kazi who started to move in an I'm-ready-to-kick-your-ass movement towards Kazuya, who wasn't at all worried, but actually he was amused. Then suddenly Kazi tripped over part of the chair and fell on her face. 'Or not....' Jin retracted. He, Hwoarang, and Denise shook their heads. Kazuya burst out in laughter and held onto the edge of the desk to keep from falling on the floor. Kazi sweat dropped and turned red from embarrassment. A few seconds later, Kazi burst out laughing along with Kazuya. Jin and the others soon followed and the whole room was contagious. Kazi had succeeded at lifting all of their hearts in the middle of a serious matter.
"Kazi? Are you ok?" Jin said between laughs walking towards her. Kazi just laughed and took Jin's outstretched hand to get up. Once Jin had helped her to her feet and the laughter had died down Kazi tried to win Kazuya over.
"Look, Kazuya, Jin can sense Devil but he needs help and you're the only other person who can sense him as well." Kazi said, "Please." Kazuya thought it over but Jin interrupted his thoughts,
"If you're not going to do it for the world, do it for Kazama, Jun." Kazuya's face was shocked with sudden reminders. Kazuya turned to the window once more and thought about it. Finally he spoke,
"Fine." Kazi smiled and stuck her tongue out at Jin,
"Told ya."
"Humph." Was his reply as he crossed his arms.

The sixth day had finally dawned and Kazuya and the others had already started searching for Devil. Jin had explained to Kazi that he and Kazuya had special psychic ability and could sense evil. This, which she didn't know, was a lie and Kazuya had went along with it just to keep a lot of people from knowing about their 'true' forms. They paused every so often, to let Kazuya and Jin use their powers together to sense him before driving as fast as possible to get there. Kazi kept lookout while Kazuya and Jin were in their trance and Hwoarang and Denise got more water, wood, and made food. Kazi and Hwoarang, along with Denise, every so often would be attacked by flying demons and giant things of that sort. Their torn and mangled wings tore the damned sky hanging up above it all. Kazi jumped, kicking one off to the back, Hwoarang, too, defended Kazuya and Jin in their trance. Soon, they were back on the road fighting those mangled demons again here and there. They reached Yokohana, where Jin and Kazuya felt the strongest signal.
Kazi jumped out of the car, Jin climbing out after her. Hwoarang had already started to warm up for the end. Kazi started to punch and kick the air as well. Jin watched her spirit flame up in rage and strength. It saddened him. Jin looked at Kazuya and Kazuya returned the glance,
"This is it." Was all he said. Jin nodded. They stood in front of a thick forest Jin had known for years. Memories flooded back to him, killing him inside and just looking at Kazi's enraged soul made it even worse. Jin grabbed Kazi's arm. Kazi stopped and turned to look at him, her eyes serious, but naive of Devil's true power. Jin didn't blink.
"Kazi....." Kazi kept looking at him.
"What? Jin, we don't have much time! Lets go!" She grabbed his wrist and started through the woods, everyone else trailing behind her and Jin. "Which way?" Kazi asked him. Jin shook his head.
"You don't know what he's capable of." Kazi rolled her eyes,
"Look, Jin, it has to be done. Whether we like it or not. Which way?" Kazi said.
"Kazi-"
"Kazama...." Kazi warned, making Jin almost flinch from her sudden coldness. "I'm not asking again." Jin hung his head,
"Follow me." Jin sprinted off as fast as possible. Kazi almost lost him so she tried to catch him. Kazi ran as fast as her legs would carry her. Jin was so fast. Kazi eventually caught up to him. How? She didn't even know. She ran up behind him and grabbed his hand. Jin stopped and looked at her, shocked that she actually caught him, but suddenly he smiled, and then it turned into the trademark Mishima grin,
"Let's go." Kazi grinned too and they all soon ran to the near by cliff. Where they were greeted by their destroyer, Devil.....
