Chapter 11 "MUSINGS OF THE DEAD"

Summary: While Jin comes to terms with the death of Kazuya, Ling Xiaoyu finds the journal of Mrs. Jun Do San.

AT KAZUYA'S FUNERAL

Ling: Jin. Are you okay?

Jin: Its just feel so weird.

Ling: I felt the same way about Ronnie. It hurts a lot.

Jin: I just can't believe it happened.

Ling: Jin, the police suspect fowl play about Kazuya.

Jin: What?

Ling: Well, Kazuya, died of a poison. But not alcohol. Jin, there was an injection mark on his neck.

Jin: You think someone did it to him.

Ling: That is what the police are looking into right now.

Jin: I don't really want to think about it now.

Ling: Jin, I totally understand. I have to go. I'll be back later okay Jin?

Jin: Okay.

Lately I have had been very dependent on Xiayou. The death of Kazuya was unsuspecting and sudden. The death of Kazuya marked something to me. I stand in place. It sad how only about 10 people are here, attending his funeral. Mr. Do San didn't even come to pay his respects. I left a little while to get some fresh air. The parlor had been dark and musty and smelled of flesh. I left the parlor in hopes of finding some peace of mind. Ling had helped me through the whole process. She had to be strong, she was close to Mr. Mishima as well, but she had to be strong, for me. She was the solider. She had faced death and somehow came out triumphant. The death of Ronnie was painful and Ling was weakened but she only came back strong. She explained to me that somehow Ronnie had lead her to this very place and time. I never understood what she was saying but I believe that in the future Ling will explain to me what she meant by that. When she is ready. I breathed in the fresh area and went in back to get some quiet. I sit down and bury my head in my hands. Then my ears suddenly perk up. " Mind if I sit here Mr. Kazama?" I look up. It's Kazuya.

Kazuya: Well are you going to answer me boy, is this seat taken?

Jin: What?!?!!?

Kazuya: Or are you saving this seat for that little girlfriend of yours Xiaoyu?

Jin: Hey, she is not my girlfriend!

Kazuya: Are you going to let me sit down, because being dead is really bad on your back.

Jin: Oh, okay what is going on?

Kazuya: Let me sit down already.

Jin: Fine, you can sit down. And for some odd reason I'm acting pretty normal about this, since I saw you in a casket a few minutes ago.

Kazuya: Eh, things change.

Jin: What happened?

Kazuya: What?

Jin: I mean how did you die?

Kazuya: Jin, some things aren't for you're to find out.

Jin: Am I dreaming?

Kazuya: I'm dead. I'm not psychic.

Jin: I'm still very surprise to see you.

Kazuya: I look pretty good for a dead right?

Jin: Kazuya.

Kazuya: It's no time for me to be cracking jokes kid?

Jin: I just.

Kazuya: Well you and that little girlfriend of yours are the only one that matter to me in this life. I know it's been hard for you guys, but, you two are strong. You'll only come out stronger than before.

Jin: Uh, Mr. Mishima, she is not my girlfriend.

Kazuya: I'm sorry Jin.

Jin: How are you, well up there.

Kazuya: I'm fine. I watch you two, you two worry so much. Enjoy life.

Jin: Is Jun up there?

Kazuya: Yes.

Jin: Well..

Kazuya: I love her. She loves me. Plain and simple.

Jin: I'm happy you found happiness.

Kazuya: Jin, you'll find happiness one day.

Jin: I think I have already found it already.

Kazuya: I always knew you had a good head on your shoulders.

Jin: Thanks.

Kazuya: Be good to each other. And tell Ling, Ronnie says hi.

Jin: Okay then.

Kazuya: Bye Jin. Oh and as for my death,

Jin: Some truths are not meant for me.

Kazuya: No. It's meant for your little girlfriend of yours.

Jin: What?

The next thing I know I wake up on the bench. My phone rings and I know its all Kazuya's doing.

Jin: Hello?

Ling: Jin, I found something.

Jin: What?

Ling: Well I was looking through the stuff Kazuya gave you. I find Jun's diary.

Jin: What?

Ling: Jin, I know who killed Kazuya.

Jin: Who?

Ling: Its Mr. Do San.

Jin: what?!?!?

Ling: It's in her diary. Mr. Do San may act all professional but he was extremely ticked off when he learned of their affair, but the worse part was he knew that Jun didn't love him. Jin, Mr. Do San isn't as stable as we think he is.

Jin: It's just a clue Ling.

Ling: Well, I'm going give this to the police.

Jin: Okay. Ling?

Ling: yeah Jin?

Jin: I love you.
