(a/n)Sheesh! It took me a while to think up something! I was emotionally drained after what I had written in Chapter 5. I wanted to picture how much pain Jin felt in his mind and soul... any who... as promised, I broughtback Panda, and gave a pretty good excuse too! Okay, I also wanted to say that this story is sappy... so if ya don't like it... I urge you not to read... Well, enjoy...

Chapter 6 –To see your face……
Xiaoyu woke up the next morning feeling a bit queasy, because of what had happened the other night. She had had one of those weird dreams again… but this one seemed real, so real… she couldn't put her finger on it. What did it mean?
"Ahhhh…… coffee… just what I need to calm my nerves" Xiao said while yawning at the same time.
"Mornin' "came Josie's voice.
"Good Morning…" Xiao said, while reading the paper, sitting cross legged on the bed, drinking her coffee.
"Xiao, are you feeling okay?" Josie asked.
"Yeah, why?" Xiao answered her face still in the paper.
"Cause' you kept rambling in your sleep about something last night……" said Josie.
"You must've been dreaming…"said Xiao, though she couldn't help but smile.
"Okay………" said Josie, "are you done with the paper?"
"Yeah, here… I'm gonna take a shower…" said Xiao.
And she did just that, though memories of the dream she had last night kept recurring in her mind, "I don't understand……… what could it mean?" she said to herself while lathering her hair with the aromatic shampoo.
"Hey, Xiao, didja read this? Jin Kazama's in town!" she yelled.
"What? Wasn't he supposed to come tomorrow?" she yelled back, surprise in her voice, gosh; she had to learn to use these eyes of hers properly.
"Yeah, says here he wanted to get over with it quick…… for god knows why… he looks kinda distracted… his mind is somewhere else, you know what I mean, right?" Josie said, "He's hot!" she muttered under her breath.
"Yeah, sorta……" Xiao said, guilt in her voice, she was partly the reason as to why he was distracted, and the other……well, she didn't know……
"Hey! Check this out! "HALF OF A MOUNTAINOUS FOREST DESTROYED BY UNKNOWN FORCE" Whoa… looks as though a tornado hit the place!" said Josie.
Xiao was done by now, and she emerged from the bathroom, towel wrapped around her frail body, steam escaping as she did so, "Let me see that!" she said, snatching the newspaper away from Josie.
"Authorities say they have no clues, as to whom or what ravaged the once serene forest…" read Xiao, "Hmmm…"
Her eyes then shifted to one of the trees that was in the wreckage, then she saw it; claw marks, five straight lines, the last one kind of small…
Half an hour later……
"Hey, Josie! I'm gonna pick up Panda! I hope she enjoyed that little vacation I sent her on!" Xiao yelled.
"Take the right turn at Main Street, and you'll reach pet zone! I don't wanna see any scratches on my car okay?" Josie yelled.
"Yeah! Bye! I'll see you at work later! I'll be bringing Panda!" Xiao yelled back, but couldn't help but giggle at what Josie had said, for she had made a small dent in her car once.
Pet zone…… 8AM
"Hi, I'm here to collect my Panda." Xiao said to the receptionist.
"Oh yes, she's here…… Panda! Come here!" shouted the friendly receptionist.
Out stumbled a furry black and white creature, her beady eyes watching Xiao intently, she growled with happiness at seeing her friend after such a long time.
"Panda!"yelled an ecstatic Xiao.
They both rushed towards each other, giving each other tight bear hugs; well, Panda's were really tight!
"Panda… gasp… yeah… it's… puff… good …… gasp…to …… see you…… gasp… again!" she said in between gasps for air.
"Grrrrr……" Panda said.
Xiao fondly stroked her fur, "So, how was your trip, huh? Did you like it?" she asked.
"Grrrr… rrr…" Panda growled, and shook her head up and down, in approval.
"Thank you, for taking such good care of her!" Xiao said to the receptionist who had been smiling the whole time at the scene in front of her.
"You're welcome. Bye Panda!" said the friendly receptionist.
"Hey, Panda, would you like an ice-cream?" asked Xiao, once they were out of the pet store.
Panda growled loudly, and licked Xiao's hands, "Ha! Ha! That tickles!" laughed Xiao.
They walked until they came to a small ice cream vendor, "One chocolate ice cream please." Xiao said.
"Thank you" she said to the vendor, "Here you go Panda, your favorite!" she said cheerily.
Panda wasn't paying attention; she was more focused on the crowd that had gathered around… so she tugged at Xiao's suit pant.
"What is it, Panda?" Xiao asked, for her companion had given her a soft bite on her thumb.
"Mr. Mishima, are you're planning to sue MacMillan industries?" asked a reporter.
"Mr. Mishima, is it true you came here to look for someone?" asked another.
"Sir, what will become of Heihachi Mishima?" asked another.
"Oh no………" said Xiao, "It's him…… Panda? Panda! Come back here!" yelled Xiao, for her furry companion had run off to meet the CEO of Mishima Industries, someone she knew to be her friend and Xiao's…… Jin Kazama.
"Panda! Please! Stop!" yelled Xiao, tears in her eyes, now…… for she herself was now advancing towards him…… his face was getting clearer, and she could see him now……
He looked almost the same; the same tan color, well built, his hair in the same style, his bangs, his brown eyes, perfect features…… He looked a little weary though… as though he'd not got any sleep the previous night…
Panda had reached him now, and was licking his fingers, everything seemed to disappear clean off Xiaoyu's mind, she couldn't hear the reporters' shouts, and screams at the sight of the Chinese bear, she couldn't see them snapping pictures of Jin and Panda, everything was focused on Jin, now……
I wanna be with you (I wanna be with you)
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you, yeah
(I wanna be with you) I wanna be, I wanna be with you
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be with you
I wanna be baby, I wanna be with you
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be (I wanna be with you)
I wanna be baby, I wanna be with you
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
I wanna be (I wanna be with you)
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
Jin was caressing Panda fondly, "Hey Panda… where's Xiao?" his voice was so calm, as if he did know she would be there……
"Grrr… rrrr...rowwrrr……" Panda said, licking his face joyfully.
That's when he looked up to see a young lady in a suit piece, hair in a clip, a few strands loose, staring at him… They were both speechless, reporters snapping pictures of them together facing each other… "That's her!" one of the reporters yelled, "The one he's been looking for!"
That seemed to snap them out of the trance……
"Hello, Jin." Xiaoyu said.
