Lost

AN: I do not own anything in the Street Fighter universe. Please R&R.

Ken waved at Eliza as she drove away. The warm Seattle sun shown down on the gorgeous woman's blond hair. They were getting married in July and she was already pregnant. Ken went back inside to train, his joy nearly boundless. It was when he finished his training and answered the phone that his world fell apart.

"Mr. Masters, this is Officer Winters with the police and I don't know how to tell you this. Your fiancé was involved in a car accident, there were no survivors. We have her body here at the morgue and we need you to come identify it. I am profoundly sorry for your loss." Ken didn't respond for a few seconds. This had to be a mistake. He had just seen her an hour ago, alive and joyful. He responded that he would come and identify the body. The American fighter then jumped in his car and sped towards the morgue, praying that there had been a mistake.

Chun Li was at the Seattle morgue identifying two men supposedly involved in arms dealing. She was just about to leave the corpses when Ken came rushing past the door. Chun Li ran out to greet her old friend but noticed something was wrong with him.

"Ken, how are you- but the fighter ran past Chun Li without so much as saying hello. The Chinese fighter followed her friend and saw him enter another section of the morgue. A police officer was there standing over a body bag.

"Mr. Masters, I didn't expect you- but then he was cut off by Ken zipping open the bag. Eliza's blond hair was the first thing Ken recognized. The rest of the body was crushed almost beyond recognizing. Lifeless blue eyes stared up into Ken's brown orbs.

"No, I just saw her! Oh God, Eliza! Honey wake up! Please get up!" Tears fell down his face and his body was wracked with sobs. Chun Li had tears falling out of her gorgeous eyes as well. She had only met Eliza once but was immediately impressed by her kind heart and loving nature. Ken then turned away and fell into Chun Li's arms. Officer Winters left, already knowing from Ken's reaction who the corpse had been.

"Ken I'm so sorry." Chun Li said. At the sound of his name the man looked at Chun Li.

"Chun Li? Why? She hadn't done anything…we were going to get married…why?" Ken whispered, tears still flowing. Chun Li stood there and stroked his hair, trying to calm him down with soothing words. In her head she remembered when they had first met. She had been 15 and a tour guide for the most expensive hotel in Hong Kong. Ken along with Ryu had hired her to guide them around the city and Chun Li found that trouble seemed to follow the two men wherever they went. But they had always protected her, especially Ken. In Barcelona, she had been drugged by the psychopath Vega and Ken had risked his life to free her, receiving two broken feet and a lot of lost blood. She had truly loved him after that, but after they had defeated Bison for the first time the friends grew apart. 8 years later Ken had started dating Eliza and Chun Li was hunting down Bison, who had murdered her father. Vega had again appeared in her life and injured her. But this time, she had fought back and nearly killed the Spaniard. Chun Li had felt such rage then, every kick she landed on the vain matador's face felt inadequate to all the suffering and pain he had caused Ken and her 8 years ago. After she had recuperated from her injuries she had discovered that Ken had been brainwashed by Bison. Luckily Ryu was able to save him and together the pair had killed the bastard once and for all. And here she was 7 months later holding Ken to her, crying over his dead fiancé.

Chun Li drove him home and stayed with him. That night, she called Ryu, and told him about Eliza. The wandering warrior said he would arrive tomorrow and visit. Chun Li thanked him and hung up the phone. Walking to Ken's bedroom door she heard the fighter crying, long heart rending sobs.

You've saved me so many times Ken, now it's my turn to save you. The Interpol agent thought to herself.
