Thoughts are in italics

Lyrics in bold!

ENJOY!

We Meet Again

Love can be a many splendored thing
Can't deny the joy it brings
A dozen roses, diamond rings
Dreams for sale and fairy tales
It'll make you hear a symphony
And you just want the world to see
But like a drug that makes you blind,
It'll fool ya every time

Ling Xiaoyu was locked up in her room, looking out the window. Rain poured down the gray streets of Japan. Her window was starting to get blurred up by the rain. But she didn't care, for she already had tears blurring up her vision. Many thoughts raced through her head. The scene that had taken place earlier today kept playing in her head. It kept starting finishing and then rewinding and starting over again...

FLASHBACK

Xiao had given up on today's search for Jin, not to mention it had started to rain. She quickly entered a nearby café before getting soaked by the rain. She sat down and ordered a cup of tea. After getting comfortable she pulled out some pieces of crumpled up paper from her bag that she was carrying. Her tea was brought to the table as she started to read over the words on the papers. It was something that she had done everyday now for almost a year. The pieces of paper were e-mails and letters that Jin had sent her before he disappeared again.

Ever since the fourth King of Iron Fists Tournament finished, she had finally realized her feelings for Jin. But before she could ever tell him, he had once again disappeared out of thin air. The last thing that he had said to her was to pursue her dreams. But Xiao had thought about it, and could not pursue them without him since one of her dreams was to be with him. After having been given clues from secret sources, she had moved out of the Mishima Mansion and had moved to a busy city in Japan, where one of the sources say that Jin has been spotted around not so long ago. Xiao still worked her job at an office not too far from her condominium.

The trouble with love is
It can tear you up inside
Make your heart believe a lie
It's stronger than your pride
The trouble with love is
It doesn't care how fast you fall
And you can't refuse the call
See, you got no say at all

She looked at the papers again as she took a sip of her tea. She then put down her tea and put the papers down right next to it. She then went and reached for something in her bag. This time she pulled out two pictures. One was of a newspaper picture featuring Jin, it was for the King of Iron Fists Tournament Four, and it was when his identity was revealed while fighting his evil grandfather. The other picture was of a softer Jin. It was of the both of them after school one day. They were fooling around with a camera that she had and they decided to take picture.

Now I was once a fool, it's true
I played the game by all the rules
But now my world's a deeper blue
I'm sadder, but I'm wiser too
I swore I'd never love again
I swore my heart would never mend
Said love wasn't worth the pain
But then I hear it call my name

Xiao was standing right next to Jin with her arm on his shoulder; she had a big smile on, as for Jin and had a sort of smirk smile on. He wasn't that much of an energetic person like Xiao but you could tell the happiness in his dark brown eyes. They seemed to have some sort of chemistry between each other but neither did anything. Xiao had regretted that.

She then finished her tea and had decided to pack up. She put the papers away, and was about to put away the picture of her and Jin when she looked up and saw a familiar head of spiked black hair. She tried to focus her vision through the blurry window. Her heart pounded as she saw someone that looked like Jin across the street, coming from the corner. She clutched the picture in her hand and she saw him stop.

She finally found him. She knew it was him. That familiar face was something she would never forget. She quickly picked up her bag and threw some money down on the table. She ran outside in the rain and was about call out his name when she saw someone approach him. Xiao's heart froze as he saw that it was another girl. She looked pretty, even though her dark brown hair was wet and had her hood up she still looked even prettier than her. Her heart then dropped when she saw Jin put an arm protectively over her. It didn't seem right; he would always do that to her and her only. They seemed so close, trying to keep each other warm.

Xiao could feel hot tears starting. Her lip started to tremble a little and her heart felt as if it had been broken into millions of pieces. The couple had started walking across the street, oblivious to the girl standing outside in the rain, watching their every move with tears in her eyes. She clutched the picture in her hand harder now, crumpling it up. They were coming her way, and Xiao knew it. She didn't want to face him no matter what. It seemed that he had completely forgotten her.

Every time I turn around
I think I've got it all figured out
My heart keeps callin' and I keep on fallin'
Over and over again
The sad story always ends the same
Me standin' in the pourin' rain
It seems no matter what I do
It tears my heart in two

She then broke off into a run going towards the way of the two. She didn't care if they would see her, she just wanted to get far away from them as possible. Her tears were now freely pouring down her face blurring her vision. As she ran she could feel herself getting closer and closer to them. The more she thought about it, the faster she ran. She bumped right into someone, but didn't stop, she just kept running. She dropped the picture but didn't dare turn around to get it. She heard fast foot steps behind her, soft shouts of her name could be hear, she didn't want to face them so she never turned around to look, she ran as fast as she could losing the person. She had ran all the way home and immediately locked her self in her room.

END OF FLASHBACK

Xiao just sat there thinking, that was all she could do. Thoughts ran through her mind as tears kept pouring down.

Why did I even try, it was obvious, he just completely forgot about me. I can't believe I even fell for him. I just had a feeling that he would never love me. All those days, how could I be so stupid? I doubt he remembers those days………

Jin's POV

Jin was walking down the street with his current girlfriend. After the tournament he had left Ling Xiaoyu permanently. He knew that it wouldn't work out. With his father and grandfather wanting to kill him there was no way he would be able to put someone in danger. He had wanted to save her life that way knowing that she would somehow move on and find another man, who could give more than he could. Yes he loves her, but at this point he was trying to start over and forget about her. He had made a different name for himself and had tried to erase his past image. He was now known as Kazuyoshi Jiro. He didn't want to completely change his name, but somehow blend it in with his new one. He was not much of a cold person but still had those times when he could be as quiet and tough.

He was taking his girlfriend Reiko back to her place. They were walking in the rain together. His arm was wrapped around her shoulder, keeping them close and warm. They were about to turn the corner when Reiko had suddenly dragged him over to look into a small boutique.

"Jiro (Jin) look at the pretty dress, don't you think it would look great on me?" exclaimed Reiko. Jin had a small smile on his face as he looked at his girlfriend; he then turned towards the window of the store and saw the dress. His smile disappeared and his eyes widened a little. In window there was a very pretty pink dress with elegant flowers that were in different colors that went with the pink perfectly. Memories flooded his mind.

Xiao had a dress just like the one in the window. He remembered seeing her wear it the last time he saw her. She was one that didn't wear dresses much, but that night she looks beautiful in his eyes. He remembered those times he would see her in school talking with her friends, spending time with Panda her companion, and even remembered those times when she stopped him from starting fights at school. There would always be a time when them two would be alone and just talk about anything while taking long walks. He missed how much energy she would always have and was never pessimistic. He missed her so much, wishing that maybe they would see each other again but knew that it couldn't happen; he had a girlfriend now and was leading a new life, well trying to lead a new life. Suddenly he was brought out of his daydreaming from a constant poking.

"Jiro, hello, JIRO!" Reiko had continued poking him couple more times until he came back.

"Huh, yeah I'm here, sorry about that." he replied still eyeing the dress.

"That's good, but you didn't answer me, don't you think I'd look pretty in that dress?" she said

"Yeah you'd look great." he knew he was lying right through his teeth. Reiko was a pretty girl, but in the back of his head there was a voice saying that he only had eyes for Xiao. Jin started to walk off knowing Reiko would follow him soon. He turned the corner and waited o the on the side walk. The light was still red when his girlfriend came right beside him. Suddenly out of the corner of his eye her could see a person, looking right at them, he could barely see the person's face, but had a feeling that it was someone he knew.

"Hey Jiro, are you okay?" asked Reiko seeming concerned.

"Yeah I'm fine just a little tired." he then shook the thought out of his head. He then wrapped his arm around her shoulder as the light turned green. They started to walk across the street turning to their right towards the direction the familiar person was.

(The trouble with love is) The trouble with love, yeah
(It can tear you up inside) It can tear you up inside
(Make your heart believe a lie) Make your heart believe a lie
It's stronger than your pride

They were walking in silence; they didn't want to disturbed each other and just felt right that they stay quiet in each others arms. Reiko looked up at Jin and smiled. Jin looked down at her face and instead of seeing her face he saw Xiao's he smiled but when he blinked and he saw Reiko's face once again. He stopped smiling and Reiko gave him and look that said 'what's wrong'. Jin just put on a face that said 'I don't know' and then smiled once again at her just to make sure she wasn't going to be suspicious.

Then all of a sudden a huge gust of wind passed them and someone collided with Jin pushing him back a little and making his arm fly off his girlfriend's shoulder.

"Jiro are you okay? I wonder what was wrong with that girl?" said Reiko but Jin didn't reply he saw a picture flutter onto the ground face down. He picked it up and turned it over.

(The trouble with love is)
It's in your heart
It's in your soul (doesn't care how fast you fall)
you won't get no control
(and you can't refuse the call)
See, you got no say at all

It was a little crumpled. What surprised him was that he was in the picture, a little bit younger looking but it wasn't taken long ago. There was another person in the picture except it was covered in some dirt. He wiped away the dirt, his heart jumped. Ling Xiaoyu was right next to him in the picture. He immediately connected everything together and looked up. He saw a girl running pretty fast, her distinctive pig tails gave her away. Jin then took off and ran after her, ignoring Reiko's shouts.

(The trouble with love is) Oh, yeah
(It can tear you up inside)
(Make your heart believe a lie)

He tried catching up to her trying to shout out her name. She was too far up that she couldn't hear him. He tried to run faster but couldn't and had lost his breath. Before she disappeared around the corner Jin whispered to himself.

"I love you Xiao." he said it wishing she could hear him. He took a look at the picture in his hands, the picture of him and his true love.
