Chapter 29:
Epilogue
Maybe you'd understand if you knew what separated the cursed loves. Maybe you wouldn't. Or maybe.... Just maybe... This story could teach you something. Something about the way life really is. We're not going to say it was 'Happily Ever After' like Cinderella or Snow White, because it wasn't. It was anything but 'Happily Ever After' as you call it.

"Why?" Jin almost sobbed, the tears were stuck in his throat, his hand grasped Kazi's wrist. She stared at the ground, her back turned to him and the black sheets. "Why?" He repeated softer, wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her back through her shirt. Kazi let a tear slip away before touching his hands with hers.
"Because... the land and sea... were never meant to be together.." She choked on her words and ran from Jin's arms in one split second leaving him alone in the room. Jin jumped and pulled his pants on hopping to try and follow her. Kazi sprinted down the hallway and jumped from the window. He held his breath as he ran for the window looking out to find her running away through the snow. He jumped down after her. His bare feet made deep tracks within the forgotten snow,
"KAZIYA!" Jin screamed tears falling from his dark eyes, spilling to the snow, disappearing after a second or two. "Kaziya.... WHY?? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO LEAVE ME??" Her own tears fell as her legs warned to give away beneath her, but still he ran. She jetted through the trees, and across the raging ice-cold stream, cutting the bridge on the other side. Jin stopped dead at the edge, tears flowing, his heart beating loudly for every thing to hear.
"I... Love you Kazama Jin.... Kazama Jin, son of Kazama Jun and Mishima Kazuya,.... My Kazama Jin... My Dark Angel, I love you. Ai Shiteru." She turned and disappeared within the mist and snow. Jin fell to his knees, for the second time in his whole life, he felt helpless and hopeless all within the same piece of mind.
"Please...." Jin sobbed, unable to keep Kazi near him. Unable to keep her close. Unable to fight off the inevitable.
Kazama Jin sobbed his heart to a bitter cold that night in the cursed snow. The forest animals, all comforting him in their own way, were crying for the sadness within Jin himself. That night left him bitter, but he still loved her. Of course he would. He was not 'playing' Kaziya, he was truthful. Jin, the youngest of the Mishima Legacy, was truly in love with Kaziya, but everyone had their doubts. Just as they did with Kazuya and Jun, they kept close watch on Jin and his love, Kaziya.

Stories have been passed down through nosy 'interrogators' as Jyn calls them. Hey! Well, anyway, some say that Kaziya Doo San ran from Jin Kazama because she was scared. Others say that Kaziya committed suicide out in the forest and was never found. Behind all of these rumors, only we know the truth. The truth. Have you ever heard someone say, 'The truth shall set you free'? Well, in this case, the truth WILL set you free, BUT first it shall piss you off. Seriously. Do you want to know what happened after Kaziya ran that night? Do you want to actually know? Be sure, for it is very graphic, are you sure, little one? Well, only time can tell... Maybe you can persuade us to tell you. Or maybe you can't. It's all up to you.
