WARNING: This next scene has a subtle love scene between Dan & Karin. I'll warn you in-story when it's coming & when it ends.

(WARNING: Parts of this are NC-17. Karin is over 18 years old for story purposes. The NC-17 area will be signified in parentheses stating that the area in question is indeed NC-17.)

        Karin never liked to be bested by Sakura. In fact, every time Sakura did something, Karin would try do do it, only better. She heard that Sakura is dating Dan Hibiki & laughed. She thought it was comical to see Sakura with that loser, but like I said before, she likes to beat Sakura at everything. One of Karin's butlers called out to her...
        "Miss Karin, we have pinpointed that Hibiki gentleman."
        "Where is he now?"
        "He's traveling to England as we speak."
        "Book me a 5 star hotel there & if you can get me there faster than him, I'll tell my father to give you a raise."
        "Yes, Miss Karin!"
        Karin planned on upstaging Sakura's makeout skills & adding a few of her own. Some involved swimsuit wear.
        "I can't wait to meet him. Not only do I make Sakura look bad, but he might be hot, too!" Karin said. Her voice sounded sinister.

        Ken & his group were headed to England right now, & Ken told the pilot to slow it down a bit so that his buds could watch the entire in-flight movie. Dan & Sakura were side-by-side watching a romance film. Dan didn't really like the film & switched it to "Seven-Minute-Saikyo". Sakura didn't complain. Ryu was looking out the window. Ken poked him on the shoulder & shoved a big handful of Yen in his face. Ryu pushed it away...

        "I don't need money! The fight is all..."
        "Oh shut up & take it!" said Dan, stuffing the Yen into his mouth. Ken laughed & said, "Are you going to finish that?"
        "Oh alright I'll take it. Ugh! Where has this Yen been?!"

        A sweatdrop appeared on Ken's brow as he said, "In whipped cream!" Dan took the opportunity to head straight for the barf bag, & turbulance wasn't the cause. They landed in England with time to spare, so Ken booked a 5 star hotel for them to stay in, & for his second honeymoon to commense in, as well. They arrived at the Delta Red building & found Cammy on the phone in her office.
        "Yes...right...no British beef, OK? God!" She said across the phone before slamming it down. She looked up & saw the group. She greeted them warmly, tea & crumpet style. Ken handed some cash over to Cammy, who took it as a donation to Delta Red. She then asked why they were there. Ken explained...
        "So that's the quandry you're in? Who else are you going to invite?" Cammy asked.
        "Guile" Ken said, "but if we find anyone else, we'll invite them." Only Dan seemed to notice Cammy had a slight blush when Guile's name was said aloud. Dan quickly asked for an old time friend...

        "Can we get Jimmy?"
        "Blanka?" Chun Li asked, "I don't know."
        "I know about the unfortunate fruit pie incident last year, but I'll tell Jimmy to take it easy this time. C'mon, please?"
        "Eh, alright," agreed Ken, "he can come as long as he doesn't bite me."
        "YAHOOO!!!" Dan yelled.
        "My, it's getting pretty late," Cammy pointed out, "do you have a place to stay?"
        "I have a hotel booked, but we're not going to use it till I've gathered everyone up." Ken replied.
        "Then you can stay here. There are some bedrooms upstairs. Use the rooms 44A-44C. 44-D is mine."

        They decided to hit the sack, but Dan later found he couldn't sleep. Dan went down to the lobby, where there was a nice marble fireplace making plenty of heat. There was a crossword puzzle, so Dan did that for a little while, but he couldn't figure out 34 across: "Most Eroded British Bone", & the answer was "Tooth". Cammy came down into the lobby a little later, which surprised both of them.
        "What are you doing up, Dan? Shouldn't you be napping in your room?"
        "I can't sleep, Cammy. I've tried all the usual tricks. Thinking about how comfortable the bed is, warm milk, counting sheep. They're all rubbish."

        "I've felt that way sometimes. Sometimes I have nightmares about my past days as one of Bison's dolls. I find that walking around outside is a good way to get tired. Go ahead & have a walk!"
        Dan didn't see why not, so he walked outside. He saw a car pull up to the front of the building. A female voice inside it said "Get inside, Dan Hibiki." Dan was spooked.

        "How do you know my na..." Dan asked before he was pulled in. The limo was relatively dark. He couldn't see anything except the outside. He saw them leaving the Delta Red complex behind. Dan soon felt like there was a sharp flint thrown right into his stomach. Soon, the car stopped, & the female voice ordered the driver & anybody else who was in there to enter a coffeeshop somewhere & spend some cash for a little while. Once the rest were gone, a light turned on inside the limo: Dan was sitting on foldout bed, & laying next to him was a familiar person.

        (This is the NC-17 part, if you don't want to read it or anything, skip over to the next parenthal message & continue reading from there)
        "Karin! Where have you taken me?"
        "You don't need to worry, Dany."
        "HEY! Don't call me..." Dan stopped talking as he felt Karin's smooth hands give him a backrub. Karin pulled out a syringe behind his back & stuck it in him. "Ouch!" Dan yelped.
        "Shhh..."
        "Since when did I become worthy of you, Karin?" Dan asked lazily.
        "There are a number of reasons...I saw you strip during one of Ken's parties..."
        "Oh yeah, I was wasted that time."
        "...you wear pink, which I think is hot for a man to wear..." Karin whispered. Dan by now had stopped talking altogether, & was just going with the flow. (And with the drugs...)
        "...but mostly, I want to beat Sakura at her own little love game!"
        "Who?" Dan asked.

        "Exactly!" Karin said delightfully. They then made out. When Karin had pried her lips from his, she felt something hit her. Dan's hands didn't do it either.
        "Oh my, Dan! I never knew you were so gifted!"
        "Who else would be able to wear pink & keep his manliness intact?" Dan boasted. By now, he had forgotten all about Sakura, & soon the limo was making its own hydraulics, which didn't bother the butlers in the coffeeshop. They knew Karin did this kind of stuff, & were given a raise every time they kept one of Karin's secrets safe. They were also given a car for every 5th secret they hid from her parents. They would get a car for this, so they had a toast to their new cars.

        "Dan...say it again!" Karin asked lustfully.
        "What, you mean yahoo?" Dan asked.
        "Yes!"
        "YAHOOO!!!"
        "Oh my! Dan, that was awesome! I want to get married!"
        "Me too..." Dan said lovingly...but then his memory snapped back into place. "No! I want Sakura!"
        "WHAT?! After all that magic, you still want Sakura?"
        "Can we both get married?" Dan asked hopefully. The drugs are wearing off, but the effect is still poisoning Dan's mind.
        "YOU LITTLE...wait! This may work out! Let's marry now! I can hire a minister who will do it tonight!" Karin agreed.
        "Wait, isn't this bigamy? It's inhuman!" Dan yelled, but then he calmed down (with some help from Karin's drug-loaded needle) & said "OK, I guess it's not wrong if I still love Sakura."
        "Oh, Dan! Let's go get hitched!" Karin sighed. The ceremony was quick & painless, & Dan & Karin were legally married & Karin decided to have the honeymoon once Sakura dumped Dan, so that it would be moral. Dan wanted it to go nature's way: If Sakura dumped him, he'd go to Karin, but if not, he'd go with Sakura. Karin wanted to speed up the process, so she had a sinister plan...They shared one more deep kiss, then the butlers came back & dropped Dan off (with clothes) at the Delta Red complex. The drugging had worn off & now Dan was about to fall asleep...(The NC-17 part is now over.)

        Dan heard commotion from inside & hit the ground hard. Cammy was telling the group the Dan had taken a walk outside to help him get sleepy, & Sakura was mortified. She rushed outside to search for him, but immediately tripped over his sleeping body. Ryu came outside & carried him to bed. Karin soon went home with a new goal in mind: split up Sakura & Dan so that she could have him. But she needed to find a good reason for the breakup.

        Karin had her servants working around the clock day & night trying to find a way to force Sakura to break up with Dan. Soon, one of the maids came up with an idea.
        "So, you're telling me that Sakura & Ryu had a thing for a little while?" Karin asked.
        "Yes, Miss Karin. But they broke up due to Ryu's love for the fight." The maid replied.
        "Hmmm...Constan!"
        "Yes Madam Karin!" Constan said. He was Ukranian & sometimes Karin had difficulty speaking to him.
        "Do we still have that brainwashing device?"
        "Yes Madam Karin!"
        "Can you have your men place it on a man named Ryu?"
        "We tried that once already on a hunch, ma'am. He gave a Shinkuu Hadoken to all of our men."
        "Damn! Well, does Ryu have any love interests?"
        "Yes ma'am! A woman named Chun Li!"
        "Put it on her then!"
        "Yes ma'am!" Constan said, then he left.
        "If Ryu's girlfriend leaves for a long while, he'll go to Sakura for company. Sakura will then ignore Dan, then break up with him! Then I'll get a hot husband, & then I'll rub it in Sakura's face! This is rich! Just like me!" Karin said happily. She laughed & went off to bed.
