SoZ: I'm off school ill and this is the result of a fevered dream! I have been reading a lot of Chase stories recently although my usual haunt is the front page of the Naruto category.

I don't own Xiaolin Showdown or any of it's affliates.

Please read and review. And tell me whether you think I got Chase totaly wrong! But this is my first Xiaolin Showdown fic so don't be to harsh!


Chase Young did not have a soul. It slowly bled away through the centuries; being replaced with extreme power and a black heart of cruel intentions.

But who could blame him?

It was the curse of immortality. Any love you may find, any children you may have; they start out young and beautiful, like the bloom of a newly opened flower. But over time their beauty fades and they would wilt away; along with them went Chases soul.

To remain forever young and beautiful, while others around him faded, ones he loved, was his burden.

And Chase turned to darkness.

With the power of the Heylin, no love was needed.

Yet on a dark night, while he sat all alone, Chase couldn't help but feel the call of loneliness from the soul he didn't have, the pull of love that he did neither want nor need, and a heartache within him while his inner self searched for the goodness and light that was not there.

Chase Young is soul-less. But who can blame him?
