Of course, Lei Fang was incredibly upset. How could things that were going so good end so bad? Lei Fang thought that there was a chance for her and Jann-Lee. Now Lei Fang doesn't know how to approach him. She saw him everyday. Jann-Lee didn't seem to mind, often times he looked like he enjoyed himself. So why all of a sudden would he come off so cold towards her? Lei Fang couldn't talk to Jann-Lee, he was never much of a talker.
The confusion of the situation, made worse by how hurt Lei Fang was feeling, left Lei Fang's thoughts dulled and blurred. Since that night Lei Fang fell into a state of carelessness. She had nothing to do anymore. No school and no Jann-Lee to occupy herself with. Lei Fang took a disinterest in going out after that night. Her friends were worried, but she always smiled it off with a cheerful remark of being okay. If Lei Fang hadn't been so impulsive in meeting Jann-Lee, maybe her hurt wouldn't have been so deep.
*That's what you get for feeling and not thinking.*
Basically she was dumped.But not by just anyone. She was dumped by Jann-Lee. They weren't officialy together, but they were close. So many women had been scared of him, Lei Fang wasn't. Lei Fang made quite and effort to get where she was with Jann-Lee.
*Too much effort to let go to waste.*
It was decided. Lei Fang got up and took a nice cold shower. A sudden surge of determination hit her being.
*This isn't over yet Jann-Lee.*
----------
Lei Fang went to the office of Jann-Lee's boss. She hoped that she would find him there. Upon arrival Lei Fang was greeted by Ken.
"Hey Lei Fang! What's up?"
"Is Jann-Lee here?"
"Yeah."
"Can I talk to him?"
Ken looked at Lei Fang with sorry eyes.
"Sorry Lei Fang, he said he didn't want to see you. He doesn't have time."
Ken closed the door.
----------
The next day Lei Fang headed for the arena. As she expected, Lei fang found Jann-Lee dominating the ring. She took her usual place. She watched him. The way he moves, how fast his attacks are and how his passion radiated from his being. Never once had Lei Fang witnessed Jann-Lee lose. He had always been on top of things, he was always in control. For the first time, Lei Fang noticed this. She noticed Jann-Lee's self-righteousness, how he was the best fighter in the arena and knew it. Jann-Lee's taunts to his opponents rang in her ears.
"You're no match for me!"
"You haven't progressed at all!"
"I AM THE WINNER!!!"
With every one of Jann-Lee's taunts, every battle cry, every blow to his opponents, Lei Fang's determination grew. The night before when she finally pulled herself out of her piteous state, a spark came to her. Watching Jann-Lee now in the ring, that spark turned into an intense inferno. It wasn't fair for Lei Fang to have to wallow in shame and hurt while Jann-Lee went back to his old ways of fighting glory. Lei Fang would not let Jann-Lee get the best of her.
Lei Fang was leaving the arena when she noticed a flyer. It was for fighting tournament called DEAD or ALIVE. Lei Fang stared at the flyer for a few minutes before taking it.
*If I know anything about you Jann-Lee, I'd say I'll be seeing you soon.*
----------
Jann-Lee watched Lei Fang head home.
*She didn't wait for me... but why would she?*
Jann-Lee tried not to think about what he had done. He went straight to the arena to busy himself the way he used to. Even then things just weren't the same. Lei Fang was there, but she wasn't cheering him on. Jann-Lee won all his matches, but he wasn't feeling good about any of his victories. He could feel it in the way he fought. His motions felt abrupt and careless, almost as if he wasn't thinking. Jann-Lee didn't even try to focus, he just let his body do everything on its own.
As he headed home, Jann-lee recieved a flyer for the DEAD or ALIVE tournament. Thinking that it would be an ample oppurtunity to revive himself back into the fighting world, Jann-Lee took the flyer home with him.

Once again there seems to be a change in format, I believe this is the first chapter where I end up changing scenes in the same chapter (switching point of view is different, I usually separate those with Part 1 and Part 2). I'm not too fond of inconsistency, but this will do.
