Chapter 27:
Sincere
"Kazi? Kazi? Where the hell did she go?" Hwoarang waited impatiently for his redheaded twin. "Damn, you stretch for two seconds and the woman disappears." Hwoarang shook his head and sighed gazing unknowingly at his training Gi.
"Maybe you should give him a little credit huh?" Baek's commanding voice came from the dojo door. Hwoarang knew whom Baek was talking about and the mere though of him made his light brown eyes spark into an angry flame.
"Kazama needs no chances. You've seen what happened when Jun gave that Mishima a 'chance'! That bastard Kazama was born! He's just like that red-eyed one. But he's NOT getting my SISTER." Baek sighed a heavy annoyed sigh.
"What if she were to be the same with you and Denise?" Hwoarang calmed.
"Denise and I are a different story."
"How different?"
"She doesn't come from a bad family."
"How do you know? You have never met her family, nor has she said anything of them." For once Hwoarang was speechless. "Kaziya is unhappy. Hwoarang, my son, I know you can feel her.... Or have you become that distant?" Baek's voice quieted. Hwoarang stood quietly by himself.
"......Denise is expecting me home. I should get going." He grabbed his blue gym bag and headed out of the door and out of Baek's sight. The brown haired man sighed.
"My son.... I fear you will pay dearly, I hope this feeling is not true..."

"Kaziya? What-What are you doing here?!" Jin jumped at the sight of Kazi sitting in his open window gazing into the stars above. She glanced forlorn at him before drawing her knees to her chest. "Koi-ka? What's wrong? You're not supposed to be here." Kazi pulled the window closed and pulled the shades down before looking at Jin.
"I love you." Jin blinked.
"I know Koi-ka, I love you too."
"NO! I love you! I love y-you so much!!" She dropped to her knees, "I love you so much I'd do anything! I'd give you the moon, the stars, the crystal water of the ocean! I love you!" Kazi broke down into tears and sobbed into Jin's chest. Jin stroked her hair.
"Koi-ka... Don't cry. Please don't cry.." Kazi sniffled and threw her arms around his neck. "Koi-ka, I-" Kazi pressed her fingers to his lips.
"Can I...."
"Be mine?" he whispered finishing her sentence. Kazi smiled, Jin took in a deep breath. "What about-"
"He.... Is not going to be able to protect me forever... and... there are things that a woman doesn't need protection from. One of them.... is... love." She buried her face in his neck. Jin pulled her up and looked into her eyes.
"Are you sure?" She smiled.
"Yes." Jin gave her a skeptical look. "I'm serious. I... I can't... have children, so.." Jin inhaled sharply. Of course he had never really thought of having children, after all, he was set on destroying the Mishima line for a while, but, Kazi was a different person. He had one imagined having a son or a daughter with her, marrying her, and living peacefully in bliss, but he knew it would not happen. At least the last part.
"I love you." Kazi took his lips and pulled him closer. Jin pulled his shirt off and dropped it to the floor, and it stayed there, until morning.
