Lost Memories "Alpha" Chapter 20
By ChunLiKasumi

Beauty and the Bushindo?

"ChunLi, have you recovered from your injury? I heard it was quite serious." Maki asked.

"What injury?" ChunLi asked.

"She probably still has that memory gap." Guy whispered to Maki.

"She's here with Ryu, and has been staying at our place since the accident. She's such a sweet girl, she's even had Ryu hold her while she was sleeping. Its a miracle, she opened up Ryu like a can opener and there was this sweet guy beneath that iron man exterior." Eliza interrupted.

"YOU SLEPT WITH RYU?" Guy and Maki both replied in disbelief.

"No, no...it wasn't anything like that...we were like that because...I mean...its not what you think, we weren't sleeping...at least he wasn't." ChunLi replied, her cheeks turning an odd shade of red.

"SO HE SNUCK INTO YOUR ROOM WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING?" Guy and Maki both replied in disbelief.

"No, no...he didn't do that, he was let in." ChunLi replied, turning even redder as she just realized what she just said.

"YOU LET RYU COME INTO YOUR ROOM TO SLEEP WITH HIM? Guy and Maki both replied in disbelief.

"No, no...it wasn't like that at all...oh geez this is embarrassing..." ChunLi said as she hid her face in her hands.

"It serves you right ChunLi for fooling us for all those months." Eliza whispered to ChunLi.

"Well, enough about me, whats up with you two?" ChunLi said, quickly changing the subject.

"Well you basically heard it all, Miss shop-a-holic here goes to la la land everytime we go into a shopping mall." Guy replied.

"Well we wouldn't be here if Mr Sense-less had a few more cents to buy me the right brand of perfume instead of men's deodurant." Maki replied.

"Hah, coming from someone who enjoys serving barbeque CD players as the thanksgiving turkey, you should be last one to be calling me Sense-less." Guy replied.

"At least I can cook." Maki replied, turning an odd shade of red.

"Yes, the last time someone tried your 'cooking' was the latest person to visit the hospital in a stretcher." Guy replied.

"Stretcher huh? Why I'll show you who'll be on a stretcher." Maki replied as she darted forward and extended her right leg at Guy.

"Hey Eliza, whats taking so long?" Ken said as he walked into the store.

"What th..." was all that he managed to say before Maki's foot slammed into his face.

"OH MY GOD I'M SO SORRY." Maki said, covering her mouth.

"Good one, now you don't even need your cooking to send people to the hospital." Guy taunted.

"WHY YOU..." Maki snarled as she darted forward again.

"Hey what's going on over here? Ken did you run face first into a..." was all Ryu managed to say before Guy was thrown on top of him.

"I think we should sneak out of here before we become the next casualty." ChunLi whispered to Eliza as she tried to sneak out of there.

Both Ken and Ryu got up.

"Ken, you take one, I will take the other." Ryu instructed.

Hours later....

Ken and Ryu had managed to get Maki and Guy to stop, but not before taking all the missed kicks and punches that Maki and Guy threw at each other. Hours later, everyone was sitting in the living room, where complete silence had gripped the room. Ken, Ryu, Guy and Maki were all pretty bruised up as they stared at each other while ChunLi and Eliza brought in some snacks to serve the guests and sat down beside Ken and Ryu.

"Ok, so who wants to go first." Ken said, breaking the silence.

Neither Guy nor Maki spoke.

"What were you fight over?" Ryu asked.

And thus a second fight started. ChunLi and Eliza once again snuck out of the battlefield while Ken and Ryu once again took all the missed hits Maki and Guy threw at each other as they tried to get the two mortal enemies to stop killing each other.

"Maybe we should have had them meet in the dojo." Eliza whispered to ChunLi.

Later that night....

Ken and Ryu had finally managed to break Guy and Maki apart and put them in separate rooms on opposite sides of the house. They then gathered in the kitchen.

"Ok, what are we going to do about those two? They are literally at each other's throats." Ken asked.

"Well...., I have an idea, but I need your help to do it." ChunLi said....
