WARRIORS

"Stupid Door!!!!....just because I don't have a key doesn't mean you don't open..."
Xander let out the mother of all curses as he took a few steps back before proceeding to ram the door with his shoulder with all his superhuman might.
WHAM!!!!
Unfortunately the door still stayed closed.
"OOOOWWW!!!"
Rubbing his shoulder , Xander slumped down at his porch , utterly defeated. " I can't even get in my own house....how lame is that? I'm too full to climb through the window. Looks like I'm gonna have to wait till my parents get back from New York. What FUN!!!"
He quieted down sighing at his luck , slipping his hands into the pockets of the black denim jacket he wore. It was getting cold outside and there was no place to crash . Willow was at her aunt's. He couldn't sleep at Giles'. It would've been weird. He didn't know how to even reach Oz and Buffy's was out of the question .
After just five minutes of sitting on his porch he was already sick of it .Boring....
"I'm taking another walk and maybe I'll crash at the hospital again. She could use my company. I mean .....Who gets sick of ME ? . I know I don't. Maybe I'll meet Buffy along the way"
With that he stood up with newfound purpose and re-entered the night.
---------------------------------
" He did say his parents were out of town so here goes nothing...."
Buffy took a deep breath and knocked on the front door of the Harris household . Thinking her first knock had been a little weak , she gave a few more audible ones for the desired effect.
"Xander ?.... That's funny. He said he'd be home. "
The slayer continued knocking for a few minutes till her wrist was sore.
"Xander ....??? XANDERRRR ....are you home?"
still no answer. Where is he? Maybe he's asleep upstairs. It is two o'clock in the morning.
Buffy deciding 'a pebble to the window' tactic would solve this problem , searched a patch of ground nearby but found her little hunt distracted when a silver twinkle caught her eye.
what's that?
Carefully she scooped up the shiny object with her petite fingers and examined it.
"waitaminute...this is Xander's key." must've dropped it here. If he's not home.....
" Where are you Alexander Harris ???"
-------------------------------------
"You're here...."
Ryu rooted his feet on the path he started on minutes ago . following his senses led him in front the remains of a charred and run-down building that used to be a high school. The roads were deserted and the street lamps provided no assistance in lighting the way . Standing still , he silently challenged all of hell to stop him from completing his quest . Nothing was going to stand in his way of vengeance .
" MURDERER!!!! SHOW YOURSELF !!!!"
A sinister laugh broke the quiet of the unadorned night and Ryu could tell that glowing red eyes were watching him from out of his sight even now. An unnatural mist began to breathe life and take form , swirling the warrior in perpetual darkness . He saw only black as far as his eyes could see , his own hand invisible as he held it in front of his face . what form of treachery is this ?
" FOOLISH CHILD !!! YOU DARE CHALLENGE ME WHEN HERE , I AM AT MY PEAK ?!?!"a thunderous voice echoed.
"COWARD !!!SHOW YOURSELF AND FIGHT ME!!!!" Ryu shouted back .
" MY OWN BROTHER COULDN'T BEAT ME !!! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN!!"
"ENOUGH TALK!! TATUMAKI- SENPUKYAK!!!!!"
With the force of a hurricane , his feet attacked the mist surrounding him as his body spun around in the air, defying all laws of gravity . The mist cleared almost immediately and revealed the monster he had sought for so long . He had never fully seen the demon before and witnessing the sight before him would pale any lesser man in his place .
The demon towered two feet above Ryu's height , a massive build of muscle covering almost every inch of his body as he wore a black karate gi with its sleeves torn not unlike Ryu's own . His face grimaced with the snarl of a lion as eerie glowing red eyes focused through his skull , his fiery red hair that almost stood out like horns matching the same burning tint . With an arrogant smirk he looked down upon his challenger .
"ARE YOU READY ?!!?"
Ryu stepped into the classic fighting stance he was famous for , his mind quickly retracing the steps that led him here . It all began in victory as he became the youngest ever to win the Street fighter tournament at the age of eighteen , only to come back to Japan and see his beloved master massacred with the Raging Demon , a move that he thought a myth until he saw it with his own eyes. He had traveled the world in search of challengers but only found out about the demon's existence recently. For the first time in all his life he felt fear as he now stood face to face with the devil himself. It became possible for his final fight to end in defeat .
"ANY LAST WORDS WARRIOR... ?"
Ryu met Akuma's glare with his own , unwavering in his determination despite the odds stacked against him . The Shotokan warrior calmed in the face of death refusing to let his anger win the battle . He would give the fight his all no matter what . His honor commands it. for Master Gouken
"Bring it......"
