Souls from Two Different Worlds
Chapter 3
An intense light stung her eyes, forcing them shut a moment before she opened them just a slight. Again, she closed them. Logic told her it had to be the sun as she could feel the warmth caressing her body as it did on a summery beach.
Her vision was grainy like an old ninety fifties film. Once it had cleared, she groaned, yawned, and sat up from the comforts of her pillow. Arms in a stretch, she sighed and licked her lips.
'Jann Lee…'
Lei Fang looked behind her, expectant to see the spiky haired man she had been so determined to beat lying on the opposite side. However, this was not to be. She pouted. Maybe it was just a dream and Jann Lee had never been here at all.
Lei Fang then checked again and this time her eyebrows rose a little to what she found. A body imprint and a mannish smell left behind in the sheets. Her eyes homed in on the torn clothing wrapped about her arm. It was still there, still carrying his scent as she savored it with her nose. No, it was very real and it was hers to keep.
The events from before rewound and played back like a recorded cassette tape. The moist taste of his lips from last night, the feeling he brought to her heart when he touched her. Her body refused to forget any of this, although she did wonder how he felt. Cheeks flushed when her eyes settled upon the girl in the bedroom mirror mimicking her every move. She straightened her hair before standing on two shaky feet.
A refreshing breeze came in through an opened window and she followed its source. Outside, she peered down at the noisy mass of cars and pedestrians about and smiled. Jann Lee was gone. He had not even left a note behind or told her in person what his thoughts of last night were. The only thing she had was the torn singlet strap that she continued to stare at.
However, there was one fact to consider: he never missed a Dead or Alive Tournament. The thought of a new challenge was too great for him to pass up. Of course, it was months away, but the wait did not seem as torturous as usual.
One thing was certain: she was going to see him again and when the time came, she was going to have more on her mind then just fighting. Her only hope was that he felt the same.
'Till we meet again…Jann Lee.'

Author's Note: Yes, that is all she wrote, folks. Short chapter, I know. But that's how I intended it to be. To be honest, this wasn't really meant to be a very long story. It was more like an experiment. I had this chapter done months ago and I was thinking it'd be like a crime if I didn't at least post it to finish off the story.
Man, it has been almost a whole year since this fic was made. How time flies. Anyway, thanks for the comments and feedback. Of course, I'm not through writing stories involving these two different souls. I have another in the works that I expect to be longer and leaning toward what I really intended for.
Again, thanks for the support.
