Yusuke eyed his opponent. Ryu stood in a defensive fighting stance for what seemed to be an eternity. Yusuke sensed a strong Rei-ki from him and an underlying hint of You-ki.
"You're shoe's untied" Yusuke suddenly said. Ryu glanced down for about a microsecond. Yusuke used this to his advantage. He began to trade blows with Ryu.
"I can't believe you fell for that" Yusuke remarked. Yusuke faked a jab and did a roundhouse kick. Ryu countered with a crescent kick. It knocked Yusuke to the side. Yusuke rammed Ryu with a punch. They continued to trade blows. Ryu was surprised that Yusuke had so much skill at such a young age. He decided not to hold back anymore.
"Hadoken" Ryu shouted. Yusuke did not expect it so he got hit. He jumped over a second Hadoken. "Shoryuken!" Ryu shouted. Yusuke was hit by the uppercut. He flipped and shouted "Rei Gun!" while still in the air. The chi balst hit Ryu. Ryu blocked Yusuke's next attacks.
The fight was becoming long and tiring. Both fighters had their share of wounds. They both had this odd habbit of getting up after being knocked down. Some people would call this determination.
Ryu decided to end this. "ShinkuHadoken!" He shouted. The enormous fireball engulfed Yusuke. He absorbed all of its' impact.
Yusuke was still standing. He seemed unharmed. The energy of the ShinkuHadoken was suddenly directed back to Ryu. Yusuke won the match.
Yusuke collapsed from exhaustion next to Ryu. Ryu was the first to regain consciousness. He got up with some difficulty.*I haven't had a fight this good in such a long time.It's rare that I'm against someone with so much power.* he thought. Yusuke opened his eyes and stared up at Ryu. Ryu decided to help him up.
"D*mn you're strong" Yusuke commented, "Are there others like you?"
"Well, I've come across many opponents. Eahc was a different challenge. They all had different strengths so I can't really say who is as strong or stronger than I am. I continue to fight..."
"Okay, I get your point. Hey, do you know anything about this Akuma guy?"
Ryus' eyes widened. "Why do you want to know?" he asked.
"I think I have to fight him or something."
"Or something?" You're taking this rather lightly."
"Really? Why?" Is he powerful?"
"..."
Ryu remained silent and walked away. Yusuke stared after him. "What's his problem?" he asked to no one in particular.
"Oh, that's because Akuma killed his sensei and he wants revenge" Sakura responded. She was suddenly next to him.
"Oh, I understand" Yusuke said, "so what else do you know about Akuma?"
"He's a scary demony guy, his eyes don't seem to have pupils, his hair is in this weird sort of ponytail, his skin is sorta dark and he wears these beads."
"Uh...thanks for the description."
"No prob, oh by the way that fight was cool! Especially the way the ShinkuHadoken was directed back to Ryu."
"Yeah,now Ryu knows how it feels" Dan remarked. He somehow ended up next to Sakura. Yusuke, Sakura, Kuwabara and whoever else happened to be nearbye stared at Dan.
"Well, it really hurts" Dan said, "A lot. Um...Yusuke?"
"What?" Yusuke asked.
"Why is there a blue-haired girl on a flying oar near you?"
"You see her?"
"It's kinda hard not to. She seems to be someone who would stand out in a crowd."
Dan waved to the blue-haired girl. She seemed surprised but she cheerfully waved back. Dan threw his autograph at her. She managed to get out a marker and draw all over it.
"Botan! Why are you here?" Yusuke asked.
"Koenma sent me" the blue-haired girl answered," he told me to give you this." She gave him a video.
"This has information on Akuma and M. Bison" Botan explained, "Oh, and Dan, message from you're dad."
"Huh?" Dan asked intelligently.
"She's Shinigami" Yusuke said.
"You mean Death?"
"Uh huh"
"So, what's the message?"
"Well," Botan said," He said 'Stop referring to me in every single friggen fight. It's so friggen annoying. Look, I know you defeated Sagat and got revenge. I'm proud and all but GET OVER IT!"
"He said that?"
"I think he meant it in the nicest possible way. Also I would have had to take him whether Sagat killed him or not. He's actually a tengu and he wasn't supposed to stay in Ningenkai any longer. Oops I don't think I was supposed to tell you that part."
"..." Dan seemed to be at a loss for words. His mind was still trying to proccess what Botan told him.
"Ha ha, Dan's a bird!" Sakura taunted in an almost singsong manner.
"Shut up! I'm not a bird." Dan argued.
"Yes you are , Crow Demon."
"I'm not a bird"
"But since your dad was a tengu, which explains the mask, that makes you a bird."
"Does not"
"Does so"
"not"
"so"
"Nuh uh"
"Fine, you're half bird"
"Am not!"
"Caw, caw, caw" Sakura started to imitate the crow sound. Dan stuck his tingue out at her and called her a "meanie".
"My VCR's broken" Yusuke suddenly commented.
"Mine too" Kuwabara said.
"You could watch the video at my place." Sakura said.
"Okay" Yusuke agreed. He figured that Sakura and Dan already knew too much for him to keep any secrets.
...
M.Bison was watching videos of previous fights. He noticed how powerful Yusuke was and grinned.
"I need information on this boy and his friends. I think I could harness their power and use it for my own purposes. Muahahahahahaha..."
While Bison was laughing maniacally about a pointless evil plan of his, Vega stared at the screen. It showed the fight between Dan and Kurama. Kurama was one of the few males who was beautiful enough to fight Vega. Vega imagined spilling his blood with delight.
"The pretty one is mine." he said.
Juni and Juli suddenly came in.
"Sir" Juli said.
"We've captured the koorime" Juni said.
"Good" M.Bison responded. He went back to laughing maniacally.
