"You're witness counselor," the Judge says in a quieter tone. Dan looks at him and says, "Hmm...ok."

"Ken...Has Ryu ever shown any affection towards anyone?" Dan begins.

"Umm...hmm...." Ken says while scratching his head. Ryu sighs and looks at the floor.

"Well, Ryu doesn't exactly show affection the way most people do..," Ken finally speaks.

"Define Mr.Hoshi's show of affection, Ken," Dan asks.

"Umm....well...Ya see..." Ken starts. Ryu looks at him. The crowd listens carefully. Crickets can be heard... Ken finally continues, "Um...If Ryu likes a girl, he either acts shy and bashful, or asks her to fight with him. He's too scared to pick flowers like normal people...They might have spiders on them."

Vega snarls in disgust, "Yeah, I can just see a flower shop selling flowers full of the eight-legged terrors..."

The crowd laughs, Dan gulps, Ken stammers, "Um...well..."

"Another proof that he's dense...I haven't heard of someone punching a woman he likes...Instead of just using those two piece of pink flesh he calls lips to tell her or show her," Vega continues accusing. The crowd whispers and nods, Ryu bangs his head on table. Even the judge snickers

"Well, what do you expect? He was raised in a DOJO!! By a freaking hermit!" Ken yells. "Sorry sensei..." he mumbles. "Anyhow, he doesn't know any better!"

The crowd murmurs in response.

Vega smiles, "Some things are natural Mr.Masters...Like being attracted to the opposite gender...So don't sell me that..."

"Oh really?" Ken asks, "Even when he was 15 he didn't know about the birds and the bees! I had to tell him!! Really! He almost nose bled to death when I told him what sex was!"

Vega shakes his head, "Whatever... Well then, he's been knowing about it since he was 15, and he still hasn't done anything..."

Ken curses under his breath, "He's too freakin' SHY to do anything!"

"Shy my claw," Vega sneers. "We've seen how Chun-li comes onto him, he doesn't have to make the first move! Give me a break...."

The crowd nods at this.

"Only someone with the common sense of a lima bean can't detect she has feelings for him," Vega says and points at Birdie and Balrog. The crowd chuckles, the two in question glare at Vega. Bison rubs his hands, Akuma hmphs for no apparent reason. All SFers look at Ryu, who in turn has finished his will and is gazing into space.

"Mr. Hoshi, is the fact you're on trial bothering you?" Judge says. "Cause I could just throw you into jail now if you won't pay ATTENTION!!!"

"Sorry...," Ryu mutters on his way back to planet earth, "I was thinking."

"That’s a first," says Akuma. Ryu glares daggers at him.

"Continue Counselor," the Judge says.

"Well...When Gouki, or as we know him, Akuma killed Gouken...what was Ryu's reaction?" Dan asks. Ryu, Ken and Akuma all glare at Dan for the mentioning of the incident. Dan gulps, "Ehehe...Well,as I was saying...Ryu reacted to his death, he was obviously angry enough to hunt Akuma down and kick his butt..."

Akuma growls at the mentioning of his loss, and Dan makes a mental memo to also make a will during recess.

"Well, doesn't this prove he has some, lil, incy wincy bit of character and emotion?" Dan says.

Vega hmphs, Ken nods. Ryu relaxes slightly.

"So he's got emotion, big hairy deal...Sorry by the way, Blanka..." Vega says. Blanka scratches his head, Vega continues, "He still doesn't use it...He's got endless possibilities but no! Instead of having a beautiful girlfriend, and a normal life, Mr. World Zero tried to comprehend the meaning of the fight."

"Ohhh, and you can talk Mr. Masochist..." Ken interjects. Birdie pipes up, "Yeah! All you do is look at yourself in the mirror all day!"

Ken yells at Vega again, "The way you show affection is to slice your girlfriend to pieces!"

The crowd nods.

Vega sweat drops, then tries to defend himself, "Well...well...It's not my fault I'm a psycho!!"

"Uh-huh, and you don't enjoy the sight of blood at all, yeeeeaaah.....riiiiiiiigght....." Ken says, his voice oozing with sarcasm.

Vega mutters angrily and tries to defend himself again, "I'm not on trial here, leave me alone, you beach boy wannabe!!"

"OOoohhh... I'm so scared you're gonna hurt me.... Remember who beat who in SF2V?" Ken reminded him. Vega sheathes angrily...

"Well, well... You're Ryu's friend...and co-star of the series! Atleast I wasn't beaten by Guile!"

Ken sulks for a moment, "That was early on! I got better! Besides, I bet if you fought Guile you'd get your sorry pansy a** handed to you!"

Guile grins and cracks his knuckles in the crowd. Vega sweat drops and continues, "Well, I remember my lord kicking you around real good!"

"Yeah, till we kicked his a**" Ken responded.

"Sure, two on one is fair!" Bison complains from the crowd.

"It is against you, Mr. Weirdo Psycho Power!!" Ken yells back.

Akuma hmphs, "In my true form I could do it alone."

"Sure you could..." Ken tells him, "But Ryu still kicks your butt. And so could I."

Akuma glares at Ken, "I remember Ryu absorbing all you got, and still looking good and fighting Bison. Shows how much you're worth."

Ken glares back at Akuma and yells, "YA WANNA SEE HOW MUCH I'M WORTH? C'MON, I'LL KICK YOUR A**!!!"

Akuma chuckles.

"Oh, you'll be laughing reeeeal hard when you're in th hospital...." Ken says.

"You think you're so tough but I remember Ryu whoopin you many times...And Ryu beat me once and once only and it won't repeat itself so watch you're tongue." Akuma spits back.

Ken hmphs, "Whatever. You're just in denial."

"Get to the POINT!!!" Judge says, getting frustrated. "This trial isn't gonna last forever ya know!"

Chunli suddenly comes back into the courtroom and sits in the far back. Her eyes red and her chest moving with sniffs. Ryu gulps and his lower lip trembles in a small pout (can you imagine Ryu pouting???). She's looking in the direction opposite Ryu...

"Are you done?" the Judge addresses Dan. Dan nods.

"The court will go for a 30 min recess to decide the verdict," Judge says and stands. Everyone sighs, gets up and begins walking out.

Ryu stays behind and tries to talk to Chunli but she ignores him...

"Chun listen please..." Ryu says weakly.

"...." - Chun-li

"You won't even give me a chance to talk to you?" Ryu says in a hurt tone. Chun-li glares at him, "You've said enough"

"But I haven't said anything!" Ryu argues. Chun-li sighs, "I don't know why I bother with you..."

"Chun...I...I know you're hurt but..." Ryu tries.

"You didn't even answer my question earlier! I know you're dense, but you could've at least answered!" Chun-li interrupts.

Ryu pleads, "I didn't hear you over the crowd, honest!"

"Hmph, some excuse! And to think that I had the hots for you..." Chun-li mumbles. Ryu blushes...

"Chun I'll be honest... I... I have feelings for you... But... I... I don't know what to do... I don't even know if I'll live to see tomorrow...." Ryu says in a low tone.

Chun-li's eyes widen slightly, then she suddenly smiles and hugs him around the neck.

"Really??"

Ryu nods.

"Then why in Bison's chin didn't you say something earlier?" Chun-li asks.

Ryu shifts uncomfortably. "I'm... shy.... It took all I had to tell you now... I felt I owe you as much, since I might never see you again..." Ryu says sadly.

"Oh RYU! I LOVE YOU!!" -Chun-li nearly tackles him in a hug.Ryu topples over onto the floor, with Chun on top...

(hehe, we'll get back to this in a min... ^-~ ^_^ )

** Meanwhile outside **

Everyone is trying to busy themselves while waiting for the verdict. Akuma and Bison are playing Poker. Rose, Sakura, Karin and Cammy are gossiping. Blanka and Dan are playing patty cake, and Ken is drinking some coffee. Other people are just standing around talking.

"Patty cake Patty cake, baker's man..." Dan says.

"*Roar, Growl, Roar growl belch grumble..."* Blanka plays along.

Ken rolls his eyes and shakes his head.

Meanwhile, Rolento and Guy are arm wrestling. Juli and Juni are reading the paper... Cody and Sodom are raiding the vending machines, and Birdie and Balrog are listening to music on their boombox. Vega walks over and turns it up so everyone can hear it. Akuma hears it, both chuckle. It's the Teletubbies theme...

**Meanwhile in Judges quarters**

The Judge is sitting in his room, a figure is sitting in a chair before him.

"You know what you must do..." the man says.

"But...But...he's..." Judge tries.

"Shut up, don't forget who's paying you..." the man warns.

Judge gulps, "But sir...We can always..."

"I said shut up and do as I say! Or... I'll make you listen to Akuma sing and see R. Mika in a Bikini for 3 hours straight! You'll die from loss of blood from your nose and ears!" the man yells.

"Shake yo booty" can be heard wailing from the hall...

Judge trembles, "Ok, Ok I'll do it, anything but that..."

**Back in courtroom**

We now return to our regularly scheduled love scene...

Ryu and Chun-li are kissing on the one of the benches when Ken walks in. In their fit of passion, they don't notice him. He, upon seeing the two of them in their *ahem* embrace, grins...

Ken walks right back out so as not to disturb the long overdue occasion, grinning still, a plan forming in his head...

Chun-li and Ryu continue, not knowing that they were seen.

Ken borrows Vega's camera and quietly re-enters the courtroom. He lets it roll, making sure it's well hidden.

** Back in the courtroom, 30 minutes later**

"All arise!" the guard says. Judge enters the room.

"Sit down," he says angrily. "Will the defendant please rise."

Ryu is dazedly sitting in his place, his clothes wrinkled and a wide grin on his face... but it's not half a large as the one on Ken's, or even a quarter of the one on Chun-li's. It seems to nearly split her face...

"Miss Xiang, could you please stop. You're teeth are blinding me..." Judge says in an annoyed tone. Chun-li tries to bring her lips together long enough to form words, but fails. Judge sighs and puts on sunglasses.

"Sorry your honor..." Chun-li manages to say at last.

The Judge addresses Ryu again, "Mr. Hoshi, I hate to interrupt your obviously deep train of thought but would you please stand!"

Ryu apologizes and stands. The Judge clears his throat and continues, "I must say never in my 25 years in office, have I seen a group of weird, crazed and perverted people as you!"

Everyone grins. "Thank you your honor!" they say in unison. The Judge shakes his head.

"Mr. Hoshi you are..." Judge starts.

"Wait you're honor!" Ken speaks. "I have some last minute evidence!"

"Its too late..." Judge says in the annoyed tone that seems to keep occurring as of late...

"You're honor I assure you this you weren't expecting..." Ken says while grinning wildly. Judge looks at clock "Very well, but make it snappy..."

"Oh trust me your honor, this ones a quickie.." (audible snickers from the authors....)

The Judge raises a brow at the evil smirk on Ken's face. The crowd raises a collective brow.

"What are you planning masters?" Bison questions.

"Yeah, give us info, Blondie..." Cammy chides.

"Ohh.... you'll see...." Ken replies.

Chun-li's eyes go wide as realization hits her. Ken calls for the TV and VCR Vega had earlier.

"Ken...Don't you..." Chun-li says lowly and rather menacingly. Ryu scratches his head in cluelessness.

"But Chun....this will get Ryu off the hook..." Ken says in a sweet tone.

Chun-li thinks for a minute, "Total humiliation? Or Ryu?"

"But....." Chun-li says aloud... She looks at Ryu, who looks back and smiles. Chun-li nods and bites her lower lip, "Poor Ryu, he doesn't have a clue... well... that's nothing new but still..."

Ken puts the tape in the VCR and pushes play, grinning all the while.

The crowd booes as first few seconds are blank, but an image of two people slowly fades into view. Everyone recognizes who it is. Ryu's jaw drops and his eyes go wide. He turns red and hides his face.

Enter mass raising of eyebrows as the video continues...

"Ken when this is over I'm going to kill you," Ryu thinks.

The picture plays, and...umm.... let's just say the sound goes as follows....

"Mmmmm.....Ryuuuu...."

"Mmm, Chun...."

"MMmmMMmmm...RYU....."

"MMm...Chun-li...."

Mass widening of eyes....

Ryu looks at Ken with a look that could melt through a wall...

Ken sweat drops. " Maybe this was a bad idea after all," He thinks.

The video continues...

Heavy breathing begins...

"OOooohh, Ryu..."

"Chun....Ohhhh Mmm"

A collective sweat drop ensues...

The breathing gets heavier....

"Mmmm....these need to come off....my Ryu..."

Mass dropping of jaws....

Sakura can be heard wailing in the corner of the room. Everyone watches with their raised eyebrows, wide eyes, open mouths, and complimentary sweat drops.

The ladies look at Chun-li in admiration...

"You broke the iron curtain," Rose says in amazement.

"You did the impossible..." Cammy says with equal awe.

"YOU SLUT!!!" Sakura yells and continues wailing in her corner. Everyone ignores her.

Chun-li turns beet red, while Ryu averts his gaze from the crowd. The men in the crowd whistle at the scene before them. Ryu write down a black list for later.

Hit Ken, hit Ken again, hit him some more and when he's had enough hit him again. Then proceed to killing Vega, Balrog, Akuma, DAN... and then Birdie." He thinks and grins evily as he scribbles on the paper.

The video continues, and for the sake of our poor typing fingers, we'll skip to the important part...

**Several lines of dialogue later....**

"OOOHHH RYUUU!!!!"

O_O

" *heavy panting* OH....Chun-li!!"

O.O

Muffled screaming is heard (please don't ask why), then silence as the video ends.

The crowd is amazingly silent.... Most members are seemingly in their previous state, sweat drops and all.

Judge regains his composure and rubs his chin. "Indeed very interesting evidence..." His eyes still seem a tad wide, "Very interesting indeed...But nevertheless...You, Ryu Hoshi, are found guilty as charged...."

Ken, Chun, Dan and a few others are about to protest, but the Judge motions for silence as he continues, "You are sentenced to 3 years of community work in China, with no permit to street fight until the period ends. That is all." The judges bangs his mallet thingy twice to signal the finality of the decision.

"China?" Ryu asks, He looks at Chun-li and grins, "Okay."

Bison shouts, "This is outrageous! He's getting just what he wants!"

"He deserves the chair!" Vega yells in protest.

"Not after a sex scene like that he doesn't..." Cammy mutters.

"I'm not in the mood, unless you want to be trailed... GET THE H*LL OUT OF HERE!!!!" Judge shouts at them.

People leave, each with grins or sweat drops, but all with a newfound opinion of the "lifeless, emotionally challenge" Ryu...

The Judge rubs his forehead. The camera zooms on to a blue ring, which happens to read:

"CAPCOM"

**Out in the hall**

Akuma is walking out in the hall heading for the exit, when he sees Ryu and Chun whispering and giggling, with their arms around each other as they go into an empty room...

Akuma grins and starts singing to himself...

" Shake-shake-shake...shake-shake-shake, Shake yo BOOTY!!!"
