No relation to the movie of a similar name. It's just a bunch of songs that I feel fit the fabulous couple that is Chase/Kimiko. I've done just about everything, drawn fan art, made fan-children, hell, I even have a playlist on my iTunes library filled with songs that fit them, but I've never written a FF for them. Probably because I'm not too confident in my own abilities-or lack thereof- as a writer so I was kind of too shy to post anything I've written. But I decided to stop being a wuss and just upload something already. If nobody likes then who cares, I like it XD. Chase (And sometimes Kim) may be a little OOC in some of these and for that I apologize, but just know I try my best (unless I'm feeling lazy XD). And just for the record, none of these chapters are related to one another unless I say otherwise. They can happen in the XS universe, an RP universe from a forum I've joined, a completely different AU (ex: High School or something along those line), or anything really ^^

Summary for this Chapter: Kimiko is plagued by thoughts of him night and day. She can't help but wonder if there's more to him than meets the eye. In trying to clear her head one night she stumbles upon an unexpected visitor. And things come up that she's been trying her hardest to avoid.

Disclaimer: I don't own Xiaolin Showdown. If I did Omi would have been the chosen one at the end, and Kimiko would have been the one that Chase had chosen to rule by his side, not Omi XD Oh and Chack wouldn't exist.

Beware! This chapter contains a flashback with a little bit of AU!Chamiko Fluff!

Chase and Kimiko's Infinite Playlist

Chapter one: Decode

How did we get here
When I used to know you so well?
How did we get here
When I used to know you so well?

I think I know
I think I know

Oooh, There is something I see in you
It might kill me,
But I want it to be true

He was a ruthless monster. Bent on enslaving the world and claiming it for himself and destroying everything that got in his way. He was cold, heartless even, and all of his past actions were unjustifiable under any circumstances. People trembled in fear when they saw him because they knew just how evil he was, and that this could very well be their last day on earth. Everyone but her, that is. She knew she should, but she didn't. Vicious and merciless as he was, there was something there.

It was stupid, really. He was her mortal enemy. Somebody she shouldn't speak or think about unless it was a way to destroy them. But when she thought about him, it wasn't a way to get rid of him. Quite the opposite actually. She thought about the intensity in his eyes when there was something he wanted, or the curl of his lips when he put on his signature smirk. It was inappropriate to think that way about him, but could she or anybody really deny that he was attractive?

She hated herself for thinking this way. She hated being attracted to him. Most of all she hated the way he invaded her thoughts all the time. If the boys knew she'd never live it down. They always saw her as some weak little girl, and after much MUCH convincing she finally got them to see that she wasn't. And now, here she was falling to pieces over a pretty face. Well, maybe that was an exaggeration, but the point still remained! It was wrong to think he was anything less than an evil bastard.

This was why she felt horrid for seeing something else. She didn't know what it was, but there was something. Perhaps that last shred of humanity buried so far beneath all that evil, if there was even any left. Or maybe it was just him manipulating her. She wouldn't put it past him. Let the weak female of the group see what she wanted to see and then destroy her, or convince her to betray her friends. Still, she wanted to believe that that wasn't the case. During the whole "Alternate Universes" ordeal, Kimiko vividly remembered the friendship she shared with Good Chase. They were closer than anybody else in the group, and that still haunted her to this day, a good few months after it all happened. And for a moment she wondered if he was plagued by thoughts of her as well.

The mere thought was absurd! It made her laugh to think that Chase Young, the Prince of Darkness, thought about her as anything more than a bug to squash on his way to victory. But a very small naïve part of her wanted to believe it.

She shook her head, trying to rid herself of the man who had been clouding her mind and invading her thoughts for the past months.

"I need some air…" She muttered as she left her room and walked outside to the training grounds. It was the middle of the night, so nobody was there. For a moment, she admired the peace and serenity it held when it wasn't filled with competition-driven teenage boys and over inflated egos. She got into a meditation pose and tried to clear her racing mind.

Her peace was short lived, as she heard a twig snap behind her. Her eyes flung open and she whipped her head around, only to be met with the last person she wanted to see right now. Her sky blue orbs narrowed dangerously as she got up and quickly got into a fighting stance.

'What is he doing here?' She though angrily.

His eyes bored into her, as if he was reading her every thought, and she suddenly felt uncomfortable. Like he knew her every thought and move. And of course, at the worst possible time, her mind flashed back to a time in another universe where they were in a similar situation.

Meditation. It was the only thing keeping her going insane with worry by now. She sat under a cherry blossom tree. One of the only beautiful places in their new "home". She calmed her nerves and focused all her energy on finding inner peace. She would not, could not, think of all the bad things that had been going on lately. They were run out of their own temple, their master trapped in the Yin Yang world, now forced to work on some awful farm, feeling more useless by the second. And now to for the icing on the cake of hopelessness, Omi was gone; Optimistic, fun, arrogant Omi who was like her little brother. With evil now winning the ongoing battle, she could only assume the worst. She had been the one hit the hardest at the news of his disappearance. He hadn't been gone long, but it only took a few minutes for them to find you, only a few seconds for them to destroy you.

"Argh!" She exclaimed throwing her hands in the air. "This isn't working! Why does Chase always claim it works for him?"

"Because I'm not a hot headed fire dragon, and I actually CLEAR my mind instead of worrying about nothing." He said walking up behind her.

"Were you spying on me?" She asked, faking surprise.

"The others sent me to see if you were okay." He explained, trying not to upset her further.

"Of course they did." She grumbled. She knew they meant well, but was a little time alone too much to ask?

"Well?" He asked, and Kimiko swore she heard slight worry in his voice. "Are you?" Though he was certain he already knew the answer. He was also certain that she probably wouldn't be honest with him the first time around.

"I'm fine Chase, so you can go tell the others that they don't have to worry about me blowing up in their faces. I'm perfectly okay."

"I can tell when you're lying."

"No, you can't." she protested.

"Sure I can." He said with a grin. "Everybody has a tell, something they do when they lie. When Raimundo lies he'll look anywhere but at the person he's lying to, and Clay's just a horrible liar overall, Omi, will grin like an idiot, and you… you…took a bit longer to figure out." He admitted. He could almost read everyone's thoughts, what they felt, and things like that. But the girl in front of him was a different story entirely. She was the one person he couldn't fully crack. Just when he though he had her pegged, she proved him wrong. "But I figured it out anyways."

"I do NOT have a tell. And I am NOT lying." She insisted, her voice rising slightly.

"Sure you don't, Miss denial." He teased. "Now why don't you try telling the truth this time?"

She sighed. If she knew Chase, and she most certainly did, he wasn't going to leave her alone. Why did he have to be so damned persistent?

"I'm worried okay? There are you happy now?" she asked.

"Why would I be happy?" He asked. "You act like I wanted you to be worried."

"It's a figure of speech you doof." She said irritably as she sat down once more, hugging her knees to her chest.

He sat down beside her, feeling so very bad that she was feeling this way. He wasn't used to being so empathetic. He was used to knowing what people felt, but feeling sorry for them was something new. "I'm sure they're both okay." He said comfortingly. "We'll find some way to get Master Fung out of there, and Omi can take care of himself, you know that."

"Against Wuya, Bean, AND Guan? C'mon, he's good, but he's not that good." She said dejectedly, and to his surprise she leaned against him. They were best friends, so she didn't think much of it. Chase however, turned a bright shade of red for a slight second before awkwardly putting his arm around her.

"If it'll make you feel better I'll go looking for him." He said. He'd do anything to make her feel better.

She looked up at him with surprised eyes. It was so unlike Chase to do anything nice for anybody. Sure he was good, but he was also very ambitious, and that could make him come off as distant or cold sometimes. "You'd do that for me?" She asked.

"Someone's head is getting big." He said jokingly. "Maybe I was doing it for Omi."

"Shut up." She said in amusement as she shoved him lightly.

He smiled at her before turning to make good on his promise to her, before she spoke up again.

"Chase?"

"Hm?" he asked turning to face her once more.

"Thank you…" She said with a grateful smile before allowing him to begin his search.

How did they go from that to where they are now? They used to be so close in another life, now they hated each other? It seemed he was recalling the same thing, as his eyes became rather distant. She remembered how he used to do that when he was thinking hard about something. It was then that she realized she had long abandoned her fighting stance, and now stood casually in front of him. What was she doing? They weren't friends, they hated each other! Though she knew that even if she wanted to fight she wouldn't stand a chance against Chase by herself. The most she could do was call for help if he decided to attack her. Which she sincerely hoped he would not.

Chase took notice that she was no longer at the ready should he attack. He knew why. It wasn't like before. He could read her easily now. She thought because of what they shared in another life, she shouldn't feel threatened by him. He wanted to prove her wrong. He wanted nothing more than to show her nothing's changed. But the question was, could he bring himself to harm her? Someone who had been the closest thing he's had to a best friend? It annoyed him that she held so much power over him. She was the only one he couldn't bring himself to kill. She was different. Their situation was different now too.

He scowled and pushed those thoughts into the back of his mind. Love and friendship was for fools. He had never made a fool of himself and he wasn't going to start now because of some girl.

"It's unwise to let your guard down little Fire Dragon," He said, still scowling as he circled her. "Especially in the presence of an enemy that could snap you in half." He growled. He wouldn't hesitate to remind her of who held the power here, even if he wasn't so sure himself.

Kimiko gulped, though it was more out of nerves than fear. He was watching her like a hawk. But she refused to let her nervousness show. She kept up her poker face.

"I know you can, but the question is will you?" She asked, surprised at her own boldness.

He snarled at her and within a second he was behind her, holding her arm behind her back. "Don't test me little monk." He growled in her ear. She was pushing his limits. He didn't like to be challenged. Well, he did, but only when it was a challenge he was sure he could win. This time…he wasn't so sure.

Kimiko was admittedly taken aback by this, but after a few shaky breathes she managed to calm herself. "Well, here's your chance. End me. One less Xiaolin Monk to worry about right?" She asked glaring at nothing. She didn't know where all this was coming from. She was in no position to push her luck at all. And yet here she was pushing the world's greatest evil doer, practically inviting him to murder her. Damn her and her big mouth.

At her words his grip tightened considerably on her arm, she was absolutely sure he was going to snap her wrist like a twig, but before she could blink, the pressure on her arm was gone, and so was he. It was then that she realized she was holding her breath. She grabbed her good arm, rubbing it to help make the pain go away. It was some serious bruising, but nothing more. Considering whom it was she was extremely lucky. Despite the circumstances she felt a small smile grace her lips.

"Kim?" Called a familiar voice. "What're you doin' all the way out here?" Asked the Brazilian boy.

"Huh? Oh nothing just…enjoying the view." She said, mentally face-palming at her horrible lie. Luckily Rai was too tired to notice anything was up and nodded.

"Yeah well you might wanna get back to bed. We have to get up in…" He glanced at his watch and yawned once more. "3 hours. I'm going back to bed." He said. "You should try to do the same."

"Sure thing, I'll be there in a minute, don't worry." She said, not really paying attention. Not like she could sleep anyways. Instead her eyes were fixated on a dark shadowy figure in the brush that her companion failed to notice. She felt the familiar smile creep onto her face as she finally retreated to the safety of her room.

She knew that what she was feeling was wrong, but at that moment in time, she could care less.

Meh, not my best, but the first draft was even worse than this one I hope you enjoyed it guys! Oh and I'll take song suggestions, my only condition is I have to know the song, otherwise it'll come out rushed and crappy ^^"

And I listen to just about all music, except rap and screamo/Metal. So if you feel up to it shoot me a review with a song you'd like to see. Who knows, maybe I've already planned it as a future chapter ;)

Next up: Next Contestant by Nickelback… maybe XD I'm still deciding, but that one seems to be winning in my mind, plus, a jealous Chase is a sexy Chase XD
