Aha! I got time to do another chapter! Sorry for the wait…
XXX
His eyelids blinked open.
"Shit." He muttered, rising up from his bed, rubbing his eyes, "Did I oversleep?"
With a heavy swoop of his arm, he picked up an alarm clock that was seated next to the bed, staring at it with relief, "Two hours early, I better get going…"
Bison couldn't believe he fell asleep. Again. Right after he dropped off Chun Li at her dorm to get ready for their date tonight, he must have went home and dropped like a rock on his bed.
Suddenly, the corners of his mouth turned into a wicked smile. Dropped like a rock…
On top of him.
It was natural to dream of Chun Li that way, to dream of her in the most explicit and highly sexual ways. It was the only way to have her without her rejection and refusal, her misplaced ideas. When she was away from him, it was the only thing that brought him comfort, making him forget his loneliness and life without her. One day, Bison would have her forever, every day, every second…Chun Li was always going to be next to him, always whispering seductive voices in his ear, always going to be his embrace, always going to lie down and let him express his devotion and passion to her…
His muscles tightened, his brow began to sweat, matting his hair to his forehead. "I have to call her." Bison muttered, numbly and habitually punching in her number.
XXX
Chun Li stared at her mirror, closing her eyes and rubbing her temples gently,
"Go with him and then you can come home where you can be alone." She told herself, hardening her defenses, "Not anywhere near him. It'll just be another date…you go with him, he tries to have sex with you, you refuse, he gets upset and takes you home, starting it all over again…."
Her phone rang.
"Speak of the devil himself," Chun Li mumbled and picked it up, "Hello?"
"I was just wondering if you're ready." Bison said over the line, a little bit shaken, "I can be there within the hour."
"I have to take a shower." She answered promptly, "I won't be done until 15 minutes before you walk in through the door."
Chun Li heard him chuckle a little, "All right, love. What are you wearing?" He inquired, rather concerned.
Silently sighing, "My green halter with black skirt and black high heels."
"How short is the skirt?"
Chun Li flinched. Just about over her thigh.
"It's…a…"
"It's that miniskirt, isn't it?" He answered for her, literally able to feel him become desperate and worried.
"Well…yes…but…" Chun Li tried to say.
"Pick another skirt, it's way too short," Bison interjected, acting like a father who didn't like his daughter's prom dress, "You're too beautiful to be tempting to other men."
"Bison, it's the only thing that goes with my top…"
"You have a longer black skirt and a brown one if I'm not mistaken," He countered, "Wear those."
"The black skirt is for formal occasions like reunions and wed-meetings," Chun Li quickly replaced the 'w' word, "And the brown one is like a lawyer thing and it doesn't match the green."
"Then find a completely different outfit." Bison stubbornly said.
"But I spent…"
"Find another outfit. I'll pick you up in two hours." He said with finality and hung up the phone.
XXX
After stepping out of the shower, Bison wrapped a towel around his waist, rubbing the steam off the mirror.
Sternly staring at his reflection, he felt around his jaw line, deciding against a shave. It was rather smooth considering he shaved just this morning…
After all, Chun Li liked to rub her hand against his face so he needed to keep it as clean as possible. What Chun Li wanted, she got-that was the rule Bison lived by, almost worshipped. The snap of her fingers and Bison was on his knees like a lowly slave, holding out her desired gifts.
New car: What style would you like? New outfits: What brand? New earrings: How many carats?
After all, Bison didn't want to spend it on himself-he would rather spend it on her, doting upon her every need and every request no matter how farfetched it was. He loved her so much it destroyed him.
Before Bison was with her (that seemed so ridiculous now), he was an independent, grounded self-serving man who only saw women as a rather annoyance. But once he laid eyes on his beloved, everything came crashing down. Now he saw that he couldn't live without her.
Blinking, Bison took his hand back, staring at the mirror. Words were now written on his mirror, almost obsessively...
Bison loves Chun Li. Bison loves Chun Li. Bison loves Chun Li. Bison loves Chun Li.
Over and over again, the exact same phrase scrawled all over the place, every possible position. His eyes were reflecting through the words, simply gazing at them with awe and wonder.
The only thought that crossed his mind: 'I wish the mirror was bigger.'
XXX
"Hold on." Chun Li called out, putting in her earrings, "I'll be out in a second."
Taking a deep breath, she nodded to herself in the mirror and opened the door. Bison was standing out there, extending his hand.
"Ready?"
Chun Li sighed. "Yes, let's go." She murmured and accepted his hand, allowing herself to be led off again to another long tormenting night.
XXX
"It's crowded tonight," He remarked, pulling into a parking spot, "Very crowded."
"It's popular." Chun Li reminded him, grabbing the car door handle before Bison pulled her back for a kiss, demanding a passionate response.
"We don't have to do this," Bison told her softly, "We can go somewhere else if you're uncomfortable about this."
'Whose the one being nervous-you or me?' She mentally snapped before regaining herself, smiling forcibly, "The movie theater kicked us out."
He grinned rather happily, "They finally got around to it?"
"Of course. They even have posters in the ticket booth." Chun Li managed to say without becoming sick.
Her wit often proved to be manipulative of Bison when she was most desperate, especially when she would mention their supposedly passionate relationship. It was the only thing she had over him, the only thing he would do without doubting her.
Bison, still grinning, opened her door and let her out of his car like a true gentlemen.
XXX
"You alright?" Ryu heard Ken's voice as he woozily woke up, feeling his stomach trade places with his head.
"…no."
"Good. We thought you were going to be out for the next couple of days…shit, Bison really did a number on you." Ken remarked, watching Ryu sit up in his bed, laying back himself.
"We?"
"The doctor and I…oh, and Ibuki." Ken emphasized the last part, watching Ryu frown with annoyance.
"Even though I have serious brain damage, you still try…" The young Japanese warrior muttered to himself, lying back down.
"Hey, I always gotta keep you on your toes. Can't let one moment slip," He flashed his friend a grin, "Anyway, I never heard of the famous Ryu receiving a serious medical problem."
Ryu shrugged, his eyes wandering back to the fight-Bison was much more than he expected to be…
XXX
Chun Li rolled her eyes as Bison bought her a Shirley Temple and himself a Seven-And-Seven.
"Gee, honey, I hope I don't drink too much," Chun Li said dryly, taking the drink, "I'd just go crazy."
"You're lucky I even got you that. What, I'm going to let my girlfriend drink?" Bison responded, taking a drink of it, his face not even changing.
"So that means I'm driving home then." Chun Li sighed, taking a drink-hell, all it is was Sprite.
"No, I'm driving." Bison said.
"You're drinking-I'm not. I should drive home." Chun Li reminded him, watching him take another drink. "You know I don't get drunk, Chun Li-I would never let myself do that." Bison told her.
Well, there went that fine opportunity for independence.
"Come on," Bison extended his hand, "Let's go dance."
Chun Li took it unwillingly, trying to loosen her mind more to the music and not who she was with.
XXX
"Well, that was fun, wasn't it?" Bison said, driving along the road with perfect grace.
"Yes. It was." Chun Li agreed with monotone, looking straight out the windshield.
Bison gave an aggravated sigh-"Why do I always feel like I'm interrogating you when I try to talk to you?" He asked her, looking at her.
"Maybe because you always are?" Chun Li bitterly answered his question.
"Chun…everything I do, I do for you," Bison stated softly, "You know that."
His girlfriend just kept staring out the window, not saying a word.
Taking her hand with his free one, he gently squeezed it, holding it. "I love you," Bison quietly said, "I love you very much."
Chun Li just didn't feel like responding back with a lie.
XXX
Chun Li was pinned to the car seat underneath her boyfriend, kissing passionately. Bison, feeling himself grow more impatient, attacked her lips and neck with a fury lust, almost tearing off her collar with his teeth.
He was ready. He felt her warm, soft body through the clothes, ready to have everything that she bore. He was always ready.
Bison started to undo her shirt before Chun Li put a hand on his face. "No, Bison," She refused, "No. I said no, not until marriage."
Lifting his head up slowly, Bison started to get agitated d and impatient. "Why?" He nearly demanded-you just can't stop him when he was so excited!
Chun Li shook her head, "No, Bison. I've told you a million times…"
Bison tapped his pen on a pad of paper, doodling small artwork of Chun Li at the top of the paper. She was smiling, wearing his favorite outfit; a blue skirt with a checkered sweater and a blue ribbon in her hair. She was sitting down, facing him looking so cheerful…
"No sex huh?" Sagat interrupted his thoughts, putting his book on the table, making Bison wince.
"Figure that out?"
"Yeah because," Sagat motioned with his finger to the drawing, "She looks like she's ready for something."
Bison glanced back at his drawing and realized that Chun Li's legs were slightly open, looking very…enticing.
"Figures," He muttered, putting it away, "What is it?"
"Your plan worked-they took a better liking to each other," Sagat informed him, "Two problems taken care of."
He couldn't help but grin-there was now one less obstacle in his way.
XXX
Chun Li, nervously fumbling with her skirt, trying to smooth it down, quickly scurried out of her class, blushing a little. She felt insecure in this large college but she struggled to achieve the calm, confident aura…
"Well, well," A gentle voice came up from behind, "I never figured I would meet the woman who could crumble the Great Wall with one glance."
Blinking, Chun Li turned around with puzzlement and saw a man leaning against the wall to her classroom, staring intently at her-had he been waiting for her?
"And crush my heart with a mere fleeting of eyes," He finished rather fondly, "Now then, what's this conqueror's name?"
It took her a moment to analyze him, his features, and his face. He wasn't cute-he was handsome, a muscular handsome, more sophisticated appearance. Raven-black hair neatly cropped underneath a red hat-an actual hat, not a baseball cap-with a blue jacket. His shirt, barely visible underneath, was a darker red with neat navy pants and black boots. Instead of the clothes giving him a slimmer outlook, it merely redefined his masculinity and muscles that seem intimidating.
The face was strong, serious, perhaps even stern. The chin was well built; his eyes a faint blue that nearly went white, his brow creased but only by serious thoughts and strong leadership qualities.
This man was attractive, Chun Li could not deny that, but he was more of an older man, not the knight in shining armor…more like a king who commanded a fearsome army.
"My name is Chun Li Xiang," Chun Li answered his daring question.
"My name is M.Bison." He replied back, "Everyone calls me Bison."
"Well, what's your first name?" She inquired and noticed his face flicker with annoyance.
"It's Mike but I prefer Bison," Bison responded, the flicker going away, "Tic for tact, you have to answer one of my questions now."
Chun Li was rather surprised at his response. He seemed like a brilliant man, very witty and clever.
"What's your favorite place to eat?" Bison asked, his eyes focusing on hers.
He didn't beat around the bush-he jumped the bull.
"I don't really know, I come from another town from another state. I've been here about 2 months." Chun Li said, brushing a strand of hair back, "Are you asking me these questions for a reason?"
"Yes of course. Would you accompany me then, to the Crystal Ballroom tomorrow?" Bison extended his hand and Chun Li looked at it. It was a firm hand, not rough but not smooth.
"I heard that was the most expensive restaurant three cities over…"
"My dear, if I asked you to come along, wouldn't you think I had the money to pay?" Bison injected, smiling lightly.
Chun Li fingered the desktop as Bison wrapped his arms around her, holding her like a doll.
"Chun Li," He said with silk tones, "What in the world are you doing here? Class is over."
"I just kinda got lost in thought," She numbly explained as he kissed her on the head, making her cringe mentally.
"Come on," Bison got her up, "I think we oughta go do something. My class was cancelled."
Chun Li cursed mentally. Bison took Political Science while she was supposed to take Criminal Justice but that class got cancelled too. She was expecting to have a few relaxing hours without his presence.
"I think maybe I ought to go back and start studying for my Criminal Justice exam because I really need to make a good grade so I can take Psychology 2…"
"Who the hell needs to study for exams? You're the best student they ever had and you could pass it with flying colors. Now come on and let's go to the coffeehouse and I'll buy you a cup of tea." Bison persisted, pulling her along.
"But I don't want…"
"Okay, okay, I'll get some ice cream too, nothing is beyond you…"
"Bison, you're not listening!" Chun Li nearly hissed under her breath, making him stop.
"I'm not listening to what, sweetheart?" He turned around, looking at her as if he was her father listening to a child.
Anger simmered underneath her surface, underneath her face, almost flushing rage red. Her lips pursed a little, going unnoticed by Bison.
What was the point of fighting with him? He would just silence her like he always did.
"You're not listening to me."
Bison smiled a little, "I'm listening to you now."
He was listening all right; he was listening to the little voices in his head that told him replace her words with affections.
"…Never mind, never mind." Chun Li mumbled, her teeth grinding against each other in suppressed bitterness.
Her boyfriend shrugged, not noticing her eyes and how far they wandered off. "Afterwards, let's go hide out in your dorm room and we'll find a place to go tonight." Bison proposed, kissing her on the head.
"We can't. Cammy is out of class too." Chun Li quickly shot down the idea.
"Darling, Cammy is out with Vega…didn't you know?" He answered, grinning widely, "Why, I believe they're kindred spirits. They met and I'm afraid they had a connection."
Bison was a clever and cunning bastard.
"I thought Cammy hated Vega." Chun Li almost choked out, her voice trembling with shock and fear.
"Well, you know how children are these days-at first they hate each other and then fall madly in love. Love is a strange, odd thing…it brings together two enemies and makes lovers out of them," Bison gently illuminated with a gesture of his hand, "However, we have true love: we fell in love with each other the first time."
'Yes, Bison, how did they meet again?'
Chun Li felt him brush his lips on hers, feeling him suck the living breath out of her mouth, her head crushing inwards.
"Let's go." Bison suggested, leading her away, making her think hard about how to get out of this one.
XXX
"You look cold," Bison remarked, taking notice of Chun Li shivering a little, "Are you sick, honey?"
Chun Li did feel a little woozy…
"I guess." She mumbled, hugging herself, feeling the hair on her arms stand up. Bison took off his jacket and slipped it on her shoulders, smiling a little.
"There. That should keep you warm. I would hate to think that you're coming down with something…maybe some hot tea would help." Bison suggested, leading her inside the coffee shop.
Even though Chun Li despised Bison, she had to admit, he was probably the last gentleman on Earth, classy and suave to boot.
Entering the coffeehouse, Bison seated her at a table far away from the window and kissed her lightly on the head, brushing a rouge strand away from her face.
"I'll be right back, sweetie. Don't leave." He told her, leaving her to shiver inside his jacket.
'At least the jacket is soft.' She bitterly thought, hugging it tighter around her. Chun Li had to think of something positive at this point lest she go crazy and just start screaming her head off.
'Bison wouldn't even listen to me screaming, I bet.'
XXX
The cashier girl blushed as Bison came up to the counter.
"How may I help you?" She asked, smiling, giggling a little at Bison's shirt that clung to his muscles and frame.
"One black coffee and hot tea please." Bison ordered, not taking notice of her giggling, pulling out a ten-dollar bill from his wallet.
"That'll be $5.34, please." The cashier told him, giggling even more at his tone of voice. Bison raised an eyebrow at her giggling, handing her the money.
The girl turned around and started to get the coffee, pulling the lever.
"So what's your name?" She asked, trying to hide her blushing.
"Bison." He said simply, looking back at his girlfriend who was waiting underneath his blue jacket, shivering a bit.
'Don't worry, Chun Li, I'll make it all better for you…'
"That's a nice name," The girl interrupted his thoughts, setting down the coffee and worked on the tea. "Is that your first or last name?"
"Last." Bison said, not even paying attention to the conversation.
"What's your first name?"
He turned back around at the girl, "It's not significant."
She giggled at that.
'Does she even breathe between giggles?' Bison wondered a little bitterly because she was taking so much time with the order and Chun Li needed the tea…
Placing down the hot tea, the girl smiled at him, "Have a nice day!"
"You too." He replied back with no emotion, picking up the two cups and taking them back to the table.
XXX
Chun Li was watching the entire thing from her table, cursing at her luck.
'Damn. He barely looked at her and she was practically throwing herself at him,' She thought unhappily, 'How the hell did I wind up with the last devoted, faithful man in America?'
Maybe if she played being sick enough, Bison won't ask her to go back to her dorm room.
'Or maybe he'll invite himself anyway to "take care of me".'
There was just a part of her that wanted to lie down and die, escaping away from him, his control and obsession.
'But he'll stop me. He'll save me. Just when I would think I succeeded, Bison will swoop up and tear me away from it. He'll never let me die.'
Bison would never let her escape from him.
XXX
He watched her drink the tea, slowly and gently, not wanting her burn her beautiful soft lips…
'God, I want to do her right now.' Bison thought, imagining her holding onto him as he threw her on the table, furiously kissing her all over…
"Bison," Her voice snapped him out of his fantasy, "I want to go."
"Of course." Bison said, feeling his heart weaken and tremble underneath her voice. 'Anything you want, Chun Li. I'll do anything for you.'
He got up and extended his hand, feeling her take it, his hand holding onto hers.
'I'm never letting you go,' Bison promised her silently, 'Never ever.'
XXX
Chun Li aimlessly stared out the window as Bison drove, barely listening to him talk.
"Tonight, we'll just relax and enjoy each other's company. Not go out at all. We can just snuggle up in front of a movie and…" Bison went on and on.
A sick feeling went into her stomach. Snuggling was not what he had in store for tonight.
"When?" She asked, trying to deter him from those kinds of thoughts.
"Well, once we get back to your dorm room."
Why the hell was he so interested in screwing her in her own dorm room? What kind of fetish is that anyway?
"You know, Bison," Chun Li carefully said, "Why don't we just go to your place? I don't think I've ever been inside it."
Bison blinked, silent for a moment.
"Why do you want to?"
"Because we always hang out in my dorm room. I want to see where you live," Chun Li said, faking a smile, "Pretty please?"
Bison made a sigh, "Okay. But it's far off from here."
"Well, you always make the drive so I can too." Chun Li relaxed. 'Whew. Maybe he doesn't like his house.'
Bison took an exit, "Why are you so interested?" He asked curiously.
"Why shouldn't I be?" Chun Li answered, happy she managed to delay his plan.
XXX
THOCK!
The tennis ball hit the racket and went soaring out of the courts. Ryu scratched his head in puzzlement as the little yellow ball rolled out over the sidewalk and into a deep puddle of mud in the middle of the road.
Ken looked practically agitated as he banged his head against the fence wall.
"RYU! That's the 10th one you hit out! We're running out of balls! Come on, man, keep in the game!" Ken yelled, hitting his head at a even more rapid rate.
"I'm sorry…I guess tennis isn't my game…" Ryu said, "I'll go get it. It's just right there."
Promptly, a car ran over the tennis ball and crushed it.
"Um…never mind." Ryu said and turned to Ken, "How many balls we have left?"
"ONE! We have one left so DON'T mess it up! Easy strokes! No hard hits! Just TAP the damn thing!" Ken shouted, "Ready? JUST TAP!"
"O…kay…" Ryu got into stance.
Ken fed the ball to Ryu and Ryu very gently tapped it, making it hit Ken's side very softly and gently.
Relaxing, Ken hit the ball harder…
And the ball went sky high and on the other side of the fence, too far to get.
Ryu stifled a laugh, making Ken roll his eyes.
"…forget it. Let's go get pizza."
XXX
Chun Li sat in the car, bored half to death.
Bison was right, his house was pretty far from the university…how in the world did he stand making it everyday? With gas prices these days?
Taking a look at his girlfriend, Bison noticed her discomfort in her seat, watching her fiddle with her necklace, making him chuckle.
"Don't like it, huh?" He teased lightly, "Sorry. We have about 15 more minutes to go."
"You said that 15 minutes ago."
"Obviously, time is bended for me. You want something to eat before we get to my house?" Bison asked, "There's a pizzeria around here somewhere…"
"Pizza?" Chun Li brightened-she hadn't had pizza in a long time-"Let's get that."
"Alright, I'll buy you some pizza but that grease can give you pimples…" Bison remarked, turning on his blinker.
Chun Li wasn't listening; she was too busy thinking about pizza.
Pizza…wow, Bison must be in a good mood or is really trying hard tonight…he didn't like pizza that much. Sure, he ate it when the occasion called for it but taking her out for pizza? Never happened. He liked making her eat things that were considered a 'higher class' and pizza wasn't on the list for dinner dates.
Or maybe he was just hungry enough for pizza. Who cared?
XXX
"So anyway," Ken picked up another slice of pizza, "I get to the class but then I find out that class was cancelled! Call that a irritating day, huh?"
Ryu chewed on the end of his slice, "I wouldn't know. All my classes are always on time and continued." He said, finally taking a bite out of it.
"Well, that stupid English class is the worst…we have the most forgetful teacher…" Ken said before Ryu saw Bison and Chun Li walk in.
"Uh…Ken…Bison at 11 o'clock." Ryu pointed, making Ken turn his head around and widen his eyes a little.
"Oh damn…and I really wanted to finish my pizza too…"
"Oh come on…he's not going to kick us out of the place…maybe he forgot." Ryu shrugged, not really at that scared.
"Bison doesn't forget. He holds grudges like there's no tomorrow," Ken said, "Quick, duck down. Maybe he hasn't seen us yet."
"I'm not ducking-"
Too late, Ken already tripped him underneath the table.
XXX
"Pepperoni, please." Bison ordered, making Chun Li sigh with content.
Finally! Something she wanted to eat!
The waiter left, making Bison smile, taking her hand.
"So sweetie…" He started, "Tonight is a really nice night, don't you think?"
Chun Li fought the complete and utter disgust from her face, "Actually, it's very cloudy and it looks like it's going to rain again…" She remarked, trying to give him a hint.
Bison was near gritting his teeth in frustration, "I bet it'll be nicer if we were together and alone in privacy."
Chun Li took her hand out of his and sipped her drink, "Well, all we're going to is watch movies, right?" She asked, feigning innocence.
He sighed deeply, as if he was not only annoyed but sensing defeat, "We could do other things at my house since we'll be the only ones there." He emphasized the last part, looking pretty hard at her.
"Like what?" Chun Li pretended not to know his sick devious plan.
Taking off his hat, Bison ran his fingers through his black hair, apparently very stressed, "Nothing. Forget it." He mumbled.
"'Kay." Chun Li said in a false bubbly voice, making her stomach sick inside. Bison just doesn't let an opportunity go without asking for sex.
Bison, on the other hand, felt like banging his head against the table.
'Just once…just once is all I'm asking…one time…I don't care where or when or what I have to do-just once, Chun Li, let me have sex with you!' His thoughts were practically shouting at her, pleading with her.
'All I want to do is show you how much I love you…'
"Bison," Her angelic voice brought him out of his thoughts, "Pizza's here."
He looked up at her, sighing deep with sadness. The most beautiful girl in the entire world, the only person he ever loved and cared for, was sitting right in front of him, innocent and pure. She had no real idea how much he loved her…
Chun Li took a slice of pizza from the plate, eating it delicately and gently. It was warm and cheesy, tasting so good. She never realized how much she missed pizza…
Bison took a slice, rather dejectedly and started to eat it, barely tasting it at all.
'Once I marry you, I'll never let you go out of the house without sex.'
Actually, Bison was thinking about never letting Chun Li out of the house once they married…
Yes…Chun Li would happily stay at home all day, waiting for him to come back from work…she would greet him when he walked through the door, he would give her a kiss and then he would make love to her until he nearly dropped dead from exhaustion…
"Bison," His girlfriend's voice snapped him out of thoughts again, "You've barely eaten…"
He took a glance down and realized he only took about three bites of his slice while Chun Li had two pieces already.
"I'm not really that hungry," Bison said, taking off another bite, "But I'm glad you got over the diet kick."
"Well, I haven't had pizza in a long time. I thought I could forgo it for tonight." She said, drinking more soda.
Bison smiled a little, uplifting his spirits a little.
XXX
"Ow!" Ryu hissed from underneath the table, "Damn, Ken! He won't kick us out in front of all these people!"
"You want to see if he'll try?!" Ken snapped back.
"What are you twos doing underneezth the table?" A heavy accented voice suddenly questioned, startling Ryu into bumping his head into the table.
The two were suddenly pulled out by a large, heavily muscular man with a bushy beard, holding them as if they were rag dolls.
"Is this an Eemerican thing? I only ah-rived yesterday…in Russia, we sit on zee seats," The man put them on the seats, switching them from their original places, "There we's goes."
"Yeah, thanks," Ryu said, "What's your name?"
"My name is Zangrief…I am wrestling champion!" Zangrief proudly said, "I come from Russia."
"Well, thank you, Zangrief. My friend here is just being irrational about someone." Ryu politely thanked him.
"You're welcomes." Zangrief slumbered off like a clumsy oaf, making Ken sigh.
"Man, I wish he would fight Bison…he looks like he could kick his ass…"
Ryu shrugged, "We better go. The pizza is cold now."
"Alright, but let's make it quick 'cause I really don't feel like carrying you to the hospital…"
XXX
"Let's go, Bison," Chun Li sighed, knowing she couldn't shove any more pizza down her throat, "It's getting dark anyway.
Bison got up and took her hand, leading her out of the restaurant.
XXX
"Hey, Ryu…" Ken tapped Ryu on the shoulder, "Bison and Chun Li coming out."
"So?"
"So let's duck down behind a car and wait for them to go." Ken suggested, eyeing them.
"God, you're paranoid…"
"Look, Bison just whipped your ass and gave you a concussion. I'd be taking safety precautions." The blonde haired man hissed.
"Fine…which car?" Ryu sighed, playing along with this ridiculous game.
Ken looked at the lot and pointed to a random car, "That one."
The two raced over there and ducked down on one side of it, peeking over the edge of it to watch the couple walk to their car.
Bison gently put his arm around Chun Li's shoulder, talking to her softly as they walked, making Ryu nearly hurl.
What did she see in that guy?
The two disappeared into the darkness, making the two best friends slump against the car in relief.
"Not so hard, was it?" Ken asked, nearly laughing, "Man, I thought we were goners…"
Out of nowhere, the car alarm goes off, scaring the hell out of the two fighters, making them fall hard to the pavement.
Ryu clutched his chest, looking up to see a very irritated Bison holding up his keyless entry and a puzzled Chun Li stand before them.
Bison turned the car alarm off, glaring at them with almost red eyes, "Didn't you have enough already? Or was stealing my car just another opportunity for me to knock you out?" He asked coldly, his breath nearly ice.
"This…is your car?" Ken asked, looking at the car.
"Yes. And if you don't mind, I would like to drive my girlfriend out of the parking lot." Bison dryly said, making the two scrambling to their feet.
"We…had no idea…" Ken admitted, backing away a little bit, "See, it's a really amusing story about why we were crouching next to your car…"
"I don't care." Bison interrupted him, holding Chun Li closer to him as if he was expecting one of them to snatch her up at that very moment and take her away. Chun Li rolled her eyes, going unnoticed by Bison.
Ryu watched Chun Li a little…he noticed that she kept looking over back at the restaurant…it looked like she didn't even want to be there with Bison…
"Now get the hell out of our way." Her boyfriend hotly ordered, making Ken and Ryu step back once, making Chun Li roll her eyes again.
"Bison, come on…there's no need to get into a tiff over this…it's obvious they weren't going to steal the car." She said rather annoyed.
"Chun Li, shh," Bison quieted her, "I'm solving the problem."
"There isn't a problem," Ryu finally said something, looking hard at Bison, his tone drenched in sarcasm, "We're just having a friendly chat, aren't we?"
"I see beating the hell out of you hasn't taught you any manners," The other said, smirking at Ryu as if this was just a game, "By the way, nice bandages on your head. Nicely color-coordinated."
Chun Li felt another fight coming on.
"Bison, come on," She latched onto his arm so he couldn't raise his fist, "We'll just go and leave them."
"Of course, Chun," Bison agreed, "…right after I beat them up."
"Bison, there's no reason to fight tonight…you already showed them you're better, now can we just leave?" She insisted, not letting him go. Ryu watched Bison look at her, deciding whether or not to listen to his girlfriend or to himself.
"What is zee matter here?" Zangrief's rough Russian voice broke through the group, "Why are youze fighting?"
Zangrief approached them with his intimidating size, even larger than Bison, scanning to the group with curiosity. Chun Li was at least thankful he came-now Bison had no choice but to get in the car and go home without causing a bruise.
"…Nothing. Um…my boyfriend and I are going home now," She said to Zangrief then a hard look at Bison, "Aren't we?"
Bison grunted a little, not making a word.
Ken and Ryu glanced at each other, thankful they at least avoided another confrontation with Bison. Zangrief just smiled, clueless to what was going to happen.
"Okey dokey, pretty girl. Just looked like a bigze fight was gonna happen." The Russian giant said, making Bison growl softly under his breath like a wolf who was threatening an enemy.
Chun Li sighed-she'll hear it from him after they got into the car. But at least Bison wouldn't kill anyone…
"Heyz, you have a buggie on your shoulder." Zangrief pointed out, reaching out to innocently brush it off Chun Li's shoulder before Bison grabbed his arm, making Zangrief extremely surprised.
With one hard jerk, Bison pulled his arm from its socket, making a sick, popping noise. In terror and pain, Zangrief cried out, hitting the pavement, holding his arm like a child. Chun Li gasped in fright, watching Zangrief writhe in immense torment beneath their feet. Ryu's eyes widened as he saw the giant being taken down by the smaller man.
Bison however, was completely unaffected by the cries and grabbed Chun Li, pushing her into the car.
"We're leaving." He said simply, getting into the driver's seat, starting the car. The other two just stared at Zangrief, horrified at Bison's attitude about him.
Professionally maneuvering the car around the Russian, Bison and Chun Li drove off, leaving him there.
There was a long silence between the two friends before Ken cleared his throat.
"Uh…call 911?"

"Bison, how could you just leave him there?" Chun Li asked him, aghast. Bison shrugged with no emotion.
"He was going to touch you." He said simply as if this was simply no big deal to him.
Chun Li was astonished, "Bison…that was cruel what you did. Cruel and heartless and…"
Bison interrupted her statement with a passionate kiss, stroking her hair and smiling at her.
"I don't care if what I did puts Ivan the Terrible to shame. I do it because of you. I will hurt anyone who tries to harm you. I will take out any competition for you and I will not let anyone try again later. You are mine and it's going to stay that way until the Heavens collapse on themselves, do you understand?" Bison softly proclaimed his extreme devotion to her, making her shiver in fear.
"I love you, Chun Li. I love you more than I have ever loved anyone. I worship you as my queen, my goddess. You are perfect in every way imaginable…all I ever want to do is prove to you how much I love you-how much I care about you-and dedicate my entire existence to serving your needs," He told her, squeezing her hand a little, "Please tell me my efforts are not in vain."
She was too afraid to speak-Bison was insane. Insane…and totally crazy about her.
"I'll take you to my house. We'll forget this ever happened, okay?" Bison smiled, "We'll just snuggle up and watch movies. Any movie you want."
'He's just going to up and forget it. What kind of man does it take to forget about something so horrible?' Chun Li thought to herself, watching him expect an answer.
"O-okay." She choked out, feeling him relax.
"Good. We're almost there."
