Continuation of Xiaoyu's memory…. October 29th 2000

"Oh Miss Ling, stop fidgeting! Let me apply some antiseptic there!" came Clara's voice.

"Clara! Ouch! Don't…… ow! Hurry! I have to meet Heihachi soon!" she cried as the antiseptic came into contact with the now raw bruise on her head.

"That Eddy Gordo really kicked your butt, as you teenagers say……" said Clara, giggling at the same time, at what she had said.

"Yeah, yeah… just be careful next……… owwww!" she screamed.

"You'll definitely bring the roof down with that screaming, you know……" said Jin.

"What? I'm practicing for the Opera, haven't you heard? They're looking for new voices!" she said rather rudely, trying to combat Jin's sarcasm.

Clara giggled at what Xiao had just said. "I think I'll leave you two alone, now," she said slyly.

"Here, let me help you……" he said, once Clara had left the room.

"No, its okay… I can do it……" she said hastily, and in the process ended up knocking the bottle which was on the bedside down.

"I'll get it" they both chorused, ending up touching each others finger tips as they both reached out for the bottle.

"Uh…… ahem…" said Xiao clearing her voice, "Aren't you going to watch Julia's match?" she asked trying to change the subject.

"Yeah, but I wanted to check up on you first." He said.

"So………how are things going on between you and Julia?" she quizzed.

"Oh!" the sound of her name sprung him back to life, "she's really great! I'm even thinking……" he stopped.

"Even thinking of what?" she asked innocently, not even the slightest bit certain of what he'd say next would bring her whole world crashing down…… "Of what Jin?" she repeated.

"Of marrying her……" he finished.

Xiaoyu's heart was in her throat, ---- No, Jin! How could you do this to me? ---- she said. Her eyes were once again glassy, so she turned her head away.

"Oh..." she said bluntly, "How…… nice……" she said. She couldn't take it anymore…… "Uh, Jin, if you don't mind… I'd like to get some rest now……" she said.

"But, wait…… he said grabbing her elbow, she shrugged it off, "I wanted to ask you… what happened back there, in the arena? I mean the match with Eddy? You seemed to have beaten him to a pulp, is there anything you'd like to tell me?" he asked gently, placing his arm on her shoulder.

"Don't touch me……" she said coldly.

"What?" he asked confused at her behavior…… Xiaoyu never acted like this before.

"Get out, I need to get my rest now……" she said coldly once again.

"But, why……" he pressed.

"Clara! Come in here… right NOW!" she yelled.

"Yes, Miss Ling?" said Clara's voice. She had been listening at the door and knew this was not a good sign.

" I need you to get me a new bottle of antiseptic please, and while you're at it, escort Mister Kazama to the arena to watch Miss Chang's match." She said coldly, not looking at Jin's face at all.

"Yes, Miss Ling" she said, taking Jin's hand in hers and leading him out of the room.

Once they were out of the room Jin asked, "Clara, would you happen to know what's wrong with Xiaoyu?"

"No, sir, if do find out anything I'll let you know, but for now…… she really needs her sleep. She may just be speaking out of tiredness……" she said, knowing better than to go against her little friend's wishes. ---- Oh my…… what will happen to that poor girl now? Her whole world has just come crashing down on her…………I have to tell him ---- she thought.

Meanwhile, Xiaoyu had been silent the whole time…… only looking out of her window the whole time… no… this had to stop…… "I have to tell him… but then Julia will be hurt… no… I can't do that to my friend…… there's no purpose for me in this world…… with that she began rummaging through her cupboard…

Young girl don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall
Young girl it's alright
Your tears will dry, you'll soon be free to fly ...

When you're safe inside your room you tend to dream
Of a place where nothing's harder than it seems
No one ever wants or bothers to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means

When there's no one else, look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength that will guide your way
You'll learn to begin to trust the voice within...

Young girl don't hide
You'll never change if you just run away
Young girl just hold tight
Soon you're gonna see your brighter day

Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed
It's so hard to stand your ground when you're so afraid
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
When you look outside look inside to your soul

When there's no one else, look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength that will guide your way
You'll learn to begin to trust the voice within...

Life is a journey
It can take you anywhere you choose to go
As long as you're learning
You'll find all you'll ever need to know
(be strong)
You'll break it
(hold on)
You'll make it
Just don't forsake it because
No one can tell you what you can't do
No one can stop you, you know that I'm talking to you

When there's no one else, look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength that will guide your way
You'll learn to begin to trust the voice within

Young girl don't cry I'll be right here when your world starts to fall………

There… she had found it… the pen knife her father had given her on her 14th birthday… she remembered asking her father when or where she would use it…… "I've finally found a use for it father…" she said softly, she felt the tip, it was still sharp……

Saying that, she lifted it to her heart, ready to plunge it right there…… tears still flowing freely………

"Goodbye Jin………" she said softly…

"MISS LING STOP!" yelled someone…………

"So, is Ling really dead now? Is Jin going to marry Julia?"

(A/N) Don't worry, i'll save Ling! I know, sad... I'm horrible aren't I? I just watch too many soap opera's! Read the next chapter to find out what happens... will she live or die?
