Chapter 11:
Test # 1
'You idiot. Imbecile. Bastard.' Jin scolded himself. 'You knew what would happen.' He ran through the forest, following Kazi. He finally caught up to her in a clearing, hearing him she turned around. She backed up a few steps away and tripped over a rock.
"Kazi-" Jin took a step towards her. She backed away. "Kaziya I-" He stepped closer and the ground suddenly caved in, talking Kazi and Jin with it....

Baek stared down at his son, angry at the thought of Hwoarang becoming such a monster. He scolded him and yelled at him, but yet he would not hit him while he was on the ground.
"Jun... Are you ok?" Kazuya asked, his voice full of concern. Jun nodded,
"I will be alright, but-"
"Jin." Kazuya looked out into the dark forest. "He is strong, and the girl is too." He said referring to Kazi. Jun nodded,
"But Kazuya...."
"Yes I know. She will have to learn to live with his curse if she really does." Kazuya stated, "And who better to teach her than you, Jun?" Jun smiled, but it soon faded,
"It will take some time and she might not be ready to love him AND his curse."
"Again, 'tis my fault." Kazuya bowed his head. Jun stroked his hair,
"Kazuya, its not entirely your fault." Kazuya looked up.
"So you're saying that it WAS my fault yet I didn't trigger it." Kazuya toyed.
"That is NOT what I am saying Mishima, Kazuya." Kazuya grinned,
"Oooo... you used my full name. Or are you saying that for kicks?" Kazuya sinnfully. Jun sighed. SMACK Jun slapped him across the face.

"Kaziya. Kaziya! Wake up!" Jin lifted her head from the ground. Kazi groaned. "Kaziya, come on, say something!"
"Something...." She replied, trying to keep her humor. Jin shook his head. Kazi tried to sit up, her vision came more focused. Jin looked up at the giant hole they fell through that was about thirty feet above them.
"Shit," He spat. Jin looked down the dark corridor of the tunnel, lit partially by torches. Kazi got up and stumbled on the rubble of old stone and dirt. Jin stood up,
"We should find a way out," Jin said. Kazi looked up at the hole.
"I guess that way is outta the question." Kazi looked down the hall.
"Come on." Jin motioned for her to follow him. Kazi sighed as they walked down the corridor. As it became darker, Jin stopped.
"Take my hand." Kazi looked at Jin.
"Why?"
"So we won't get lost in the darkness." Jin held out his hand. Kazi looked at his hand for a moment before taking it. They walked slowly down the dark hall. Kazi gripped his hand tighter. She felt as if she was being pulled away from Jin. But Jin couldn't feel it. Kazi gripped tighter and grasped his arm with her other arm. Jin stopped walking.
"Kazi, are you ok?" She felt that she was being pulled from him even more.
"Just walk. Hurry. Please." Jin nodded and walked a bit faster. They soon came upon a nearby torch. Jin stopped.
"Kazi-" As soon as Kazi let his arm go, she was dragged back towards the darkness by the shadows. Jin lunged for her but was stopped short by the shadows holding him back.
"JIN! JIN!!!!!" Kazi screamed as she reached for him. He tried with all he had to get to her. He inched forward, dragging the shadow arms with him. Jin reached out and tried to grasp Kazi's hand. Kazi reached for him. "Jin!"
"Kaziya!" He suddenly grasped her hand and pulled her out of the shadows. The shadow arms let Jin go and they were left in the middle of the hall, holding hands. Kazi took a deep breath and blushed. Jin blushed as well as they let each others hands go, "We should... Uh... Go now." Kazi nodded and followed Jin along the torches. 'This is weird. She still doesn't completely trust me.... Kaziya... I wish, I could be the best for you.....' Jin thought, sticking his hands in his pockets, 'But I'm just a cursed Jin. A Devil Jin. You deserve better....'
Kazi followed him, not saying a word. It hurt her to see Jin this way, alone, unsure, and willing yet she still didn't accept him. 'Jin....' She thought. Kazi suddenly bumped into Jin. She suddenly noticed the room had gotten pretty big. They stood on the edge of a giant cliff underground. There was a rickety old bridge leading from one side of the room to the other and the floor beneath the cliffs was pure magma and fire.....
