Chapter 5:
Confrontation
"You will see." Cyn gave Kazuya a strange look.
"Why did you save me?" Cyn asked. Paul grit his teeth and clenched his fists as Kazuya folded his arms.
"I... didn't." He answered.
"You know you're worse than Jin-"
"I am the original." Cyn's eye twitched and the man smirked. "Speak of the Devil...." He grinned, "My son will be expecting you."
"What?"
"What you have seen has angered them both. I feel it."
"Both? What the hell are you talking about??" Cyn was almost over the edge with Kazuya's twisted way of talking that was way too ominous compared to Jin's.
"You understand, yet you cannot see."
"Dammit, Mishima! Tell me in English you Baka!" The Japanese grinned.
"To venture into enemy territory, is to ask for death, but of course... YOU already know that." He grinned and walked away into the darkness.
"What the fuck..?" Cyn was now extremely confused.
"He said, 'Watch where you walk'." Paul hissed through his teeth.
"Watch where you walk? Like..... Watch your back kinda thing?"
"Yeah..." Paul sighed and let all the tension out. Cyn looked at the black feather in her hand and rubbed it lightly. 'It's still soft... Still cooled... Kazama-sensei?'
"Hey, guys?" Steve and Lei looked at her and Paul made a noise that in dignified he was listening, "I got an errand to run."
"Goin' ta see Tony?" Steve asked.
"Yeah, yeah... Tony." Her eyes didn't leave the feather. "Uh, see ya!" She said as she waved and walked around the corner, heading west.
"Hey, Steve?" Lei said.
"Yeah?"
"The hospital, that way," Lei stated and pointed the opposite direction, his English a little bit off as usual.
"Oh." Steve looked back at the corner and laughed, "The crazy bugga."
"She's goin' ta try and find Jun's boy." Lei nodded at Paul's statement. Steve looked thoughtful,
"You think she'll be all right alone?" The three boys paused then in unison said,
"Nah."
"Wanna catch a drink?" Paul asked.
"Is it running?" Steve asked, Paul smacked his forehead at the other blonde's oblivious British statement.
"Let's get a beer." Paul replied stuffing his hands in his pockets and walked towards the bar, the other two following.

'I know you're here...' Cyn searched through the darkness of the temple, finding her way by feeling the walls. The girl found her way into a large room, dimly lit only by two candles that made the giant golden Buddha statue glow and sparkle in the dark. She approached the statue and ran her fingers over part of the leg.
"What did you see....?" Cyn jumped and whirled around at the sound of Jin's voice only.... it had a strange demonic twist.
"Nothing." She said.
"Lies.." he hissed only his frame could be seen in the dark. "Lies!" Jin lashed out from the dark and grasped her wrist twisting it up and peeling her fingers apart to reveal the black feather. "Lies..." Cyn looked up and was unable to tear her eyes from his red ones. "You...."
"Kazama-sensei! I-"
"Your pathetic master is not here. He is dead to you."
"No, Jin! Don't do this! I know you can hear me! I-" Jin threw the girl to the ground, breaking three her ribs.
"Worthless woman..." He ran the demonic claws over the gold, his black wings, resting against his tattooed back. Cyn coughed up blood and strained to talk.
"Ji-Ji.." More blood spilled onto the temple dojo floor.
"Anhie manisha samie.... Cyn mahuricshi..." he chanted. He waited for a moment before his eyes began to glow blood red in anger, "Anhie manisha samie! Cyn mahuricshi!!" Nothing happened, Cyn looked up at the approaching Devil.
"Dev- il...The dev.." The crimson puddle widened and splattered. She pushed herself up, stumbling backwards.
"ANHIE MANISHA SAMIE!! CYN MARURICSHI!!" He chanted loudly and nearly screamed in frustration. The blood on the floor lit up in flames and Cyn fell backwards and onto her butt. "WORTHLESS LOWLIFE!! HOW DARE YOU DEFY MY POWER!!" Devil grasped her by the throat and threw her against the wall, in pure rage. Blood spilled into the wall and Cyn felt everything grow cold and watched as the light of the candles were reduced to blackness.
"Hate me... Curse me.... Hate me.... Curse me..."
