Warrior’s Journey Chapter Four

China: Great Wall
12:15 PM

The full moon basked the Great Wall with a glow and illuminated a figure in a black dogi. He looked to be about fifty, but was actually in his eighties. He had fiery red hair tied in a top not that seamed to glow with power. His eyes were also a crimson color. His dogi was tattered at its ends.

He was the formally known as Gouki decades ago, but now he was Akuma, The Raging Demon. The wall stretched off for miles to his right and left. The demon had his eyes closed as concentrated his ki in to his fist. ‘Not yet’, he thought. He stood there for a few more seconds, and then he sent his fist down to the ground and released the ki that was in his fist. He opened his eyes to see he had put a clean cut in the stone of the wall.

He steeped back and watched as the part of the wall that was cracked fell away. ‘Hmmmmm, about 200 meters. That is the best yet. Soon, the Kongou Kukurastu Zan will be ready for combat use, and then you and me old man shall have our death match.’ Then, as the clouds hid the moon for a second, he vanished in to the night.

Obadia, Japan
3:00PM

It had been about three days since the meeting at the Interpol office. Hikari had spent most of the days training with Chun-Li. She told Chun-Li she wanted to do something first before she began to train. Hikari clenched the flowers as she walked into the cemetery. It was beautiful day, blue skies with some puffy clouds.

But she was not feeling beautiful. She came nearly every week to go to Takera’s grave. Though no body was found, they still buried a coffin. On the day of his funeral, she promised to avenge his death. Reason dictated that the one that created the virus was responsible for his death since the virus was obviously was gone.

With Izumi’s help, she was able to find that Shadowloo was responsible. But now was not the time to reflect on the past. She put the flowers on the plaque that had his name inscribed one it. After his death, his parents came back together to help support each other emotional. “Well Takera, I finally have a chance to avenge your death. Fellow agents and I are participating in a tournament sponsored by the group that made the virus.

“We hope to track down the leader, Manfred von Bison, and put him in prison. Well, I have to go. I got a lesson in Kung Fu by Chun-Li. She’s good at it. I think she should teach when she quits Interpol. Good bye my friend,” she hesitated, but went on, “my love.”

Gouken’s Dojo
The next day
6:15 AM

It had been a few days since the two practiced the sword. The match went fine, but ended when Takura got a thin cut his cheek. Takura was outside drinking some green tea, thinking of the past. “What are you thinking about?” He was surprised by the voice behind him.

He turned to find Ryu standing by the door. Takura just smiled before answering. “Just thinking about the past.” “Like what?” “Like my family and my friends.” Ryu just nodded and did not press the question. “How did you learn shotoken?” “I learned under Kazuki. He was the pupil of Ogata, who trained with Goutetsu.” Finished Takura.

Then they heard footsteps coming up the stone steps. They looked up to see a short girl in a high school uniform with a white head like Ryu’s, standing by a old man dressed in a black Chinese fighting uniform. The girl let out a squeal that sounded like Ryu and rushed up to the warrior, giving him a big bear like huge. “Sakura?!” was all he managed to say before his oxygen supply was cut off.

Takura chuckled at the sight before returning his gaze to the old man, who now had thrown his head back and was laughing in a somewhat torturous way. He had a long white beard, and hair on the sides, but bald at the top. “I meet her on my way hear Ryu, so I decided to have a little fun.” The now breathing Ryu chuckled and smiled at the old man. “It’s good to see you too Gen.”

The girl then spoke up. “Ryu, who is your friend?” Takura bowed to the girl and Gen in a sign of greeting. “My name is Takura, pleased to meet you.” The girl beamed and Takura could not help but smile at her energetic personality.

“My name is Sakura pleased to meet you.” She said as she gave him a bear hug. The first thing Takura noticed is that he could hardly breathe. The second was that he sensed some ki coming off her. ‘She can manipulate ki! But she is just a normal high school kid! Ryu can’t be her teacher, then how…..’

Gen then barked out something and she dropped Takura. “Sorry” was all she said, blushing slightly. “It’s alright.” Ryu then spoke up. “Please, come in, we have a lot to talk about.” Gen nodded and followed Ryu into the dojo followed by the other two.

There you go. How was it? Please, just review, I do not care. Sorry that it toke so long to get up.
