Chapter 2 – YOU again!

"What a downpour!" said a tired Xiao, "I've got to get to my apartment…"

Saying this she trudged on to through the rain, fighting to keep her coat on; she was now passing through a deserted alleyway… "Brrr…. This place gives me the creeps……"

……When all of a sudden, strong hands were around her, one on her mouth preventing her from screaming, the other snaked itself around her waist restraining her from any movement.

She tried to look up to catch a glance of her persecutor… "Jin?" she squeaked in disbelief.

"Shhhh……"he said softly, "I've been looking for you……………" he said.

He kissed her fingers, his lips then traveled up to her forehead kissing it; then her nose, and finally her lips… hungrily kissing them, she tried to get away but couldn't…… she was lost in thought, her eyesight faltering, giving in to his desires, there was no way to escape……

He then began kissing her neck, giving her love bites "Owww! Stop it! Stop it Jin!" she yelled. He had really bitten her bad there, but when she opened her eyes, she saw something else; Jin was grinning, he had fangs for incisors, blood dripping from them…… horns protruding from either sides of his head, strange markings on his forehead, and a jewel in the centre, black wings spread out, his brown eyes a milky white, talons for nails, claws sticking out of his elbows……

He swiftly scooped her up in his arms, "No! Put me down!" she screamed.

They were now flying over a vast ocean, "So, you want me to put you down? Okay… Have a nice landing…" he said demonically, his laughter echoing…… "Nooooooo!" she screamed.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Xiao screamed, she was up in bed, sweating profusely. "Surprise!" yelled an ecstatic Josie. "Yeow!" she let out an ear- piercing yell, "Josie! Don't do that!"

She was now clutching her heart area, for it was beating rapidly, what with a really scary dream, and a wacky Josie were enough to give any one a heart attack. ---Why am I thinking of Jin again? --- thought Xiaoyu.

"Sheesh! Okay! Calm down! I was going to wish you Happy Birthday but…" she hesitated.

"Okay, sorry, I had a bad dream… I'm sorry!" Xiao said, looking at Josie's sulky face.

"Sorry, with whipped cream and cherries on top?" Josie asked innocently.

"Yeah, yeah…" Xiaoyu said exasperated.

"And crushed nuts, and chocolate fudge?" she still asked annoyingly.

"OKAY! I get the message!" she said, throwing a pillow at her, God, Josie could be annoying, just like her friend Miharu…… --- Miharu, I wonder if you're okay…--- she thought once again.

"Ohhhh… so you want a pillow fight, huh?" Josie giggled.

"Yeah…… bring it on Grandma!" Xiao yelled, giggling at the same time.

In the next few minutes the whole room was in an uproar, feathers floating around the room, the bedroom lamp was on the ground, the dressing table was upset, Josie's and Xiao's bed were a mess, the bed sheets were on the floor, pillow case covers strewn across the floor……

"Josephine Agatha McMack! Clean up this room immediately! Oh, but I don't mean you, Xiao, dear, you must excuse my daughter, she's really messy… oh yes… Happy Birthday! " It was Josie's mother, Anna. She was really a plump, bubbly person, and when Xiao first arrived at their house, she treated her like a queen.

"Mommmmm!"she whined, "Don't say my name out loud!" she said annoyed at her mother, for embarrassing her.

"Josephine?" said Xiao in disbelief, "I thought your name was Josie!" said Xiao, now giggling hysterically. "Actually, it's a real swell name, Josephine Bonaparte! Ha! Ha!" yelled Xiao, quickly running into the living room.

"Grrr…… Xiao! I'm gonna get you!" she screamed.

"Oooooohh! Clara! Help me!"she screamed.

Yes, things were certainly going well for Xiao, she was living with a loving family… one of the best in the world, but how long would this happiness last?

Japan, Hiroshima… the Mishima Manor…

Jin finally retired to his soft, warm bed, his hopes diminished at trying to find Xiaoyu, "I guess I'll never find you Ling……" saying this he gave a soft sigh, and picked up the picture frame that was on his bed side table.

He had the same picture of her kept on his office table, that sweet smile, those adorable pig tails…

Flashback……

"Jin! Jin! Please! I need help with this math homework! Ugh! These equations are driving me crazy! And I also have a book report to complete! Please! You're the only person who can help me!" yelled Xiao.

"Xiao, how many times have I told you not to leave those important book reports till the last minute?" he asked sternly.

"Yeah! I know…… but, heh, I guess, I was kinda busy with other stuff!"she said.

"Yeah, hanging out with Miharu again at the mall……" he said.

"Yeah…… heh…" she said embarrassed.

"Oh, alright…… c'mon lets get a start on that report first…" he said.

"Ha! Fooled ya! You're sooooooo easy to fool!" she said.

"Fool? Remember the time I gave you that toothpaste to use? It turned your teeth…"he was cutoff.

"Uh…… yeah, let's not go there again, but that time we were enemies, we're friends now right?" she asked.

"Of course." He said.

"Good! You passed my test, and you 're the one I choose to take me to that amusement park!" she said excitedly, "I've got free passes! I won their puzzle contest!" she said excitedly.

"Oh, Xiao, sorry, I was actually going to go to Julia's…… we're studying together." He said.

"What? Oh……… never mind then… I'll go with Miharu then……"she said, trying to sound bubbly once more… but Jin could see tears about to form in her eyes.

"Maybe we can go another time……" he said, but no, she had already left his room.

End of flashback

"Oh, Ling…… I treated you so badly……I'm so sorry…… I didn't mean to…" he said, "Tomorrow is another day though… it holds new possibilities…"
