DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of the Capcom characters. I do own, Isabel who is introduced in this chapter. Yup, yup. A small reminder that this is the sequel to STREET FIGHTER XTREME and it's a little AU. Other than that, enjoy.
"And that's about it." Chun Li concluded her police report. The officer who was taking this all down nodded. He read off his list. "Okay. So basically, this guy just comes out of nowhere and attacks you?"
Chun Li flinched. "That's all I can remember. Sorry." She lied and gave the officer a fake smile.
"That's alright Miss. We'll find this guy as soon as we can." The officer smiled genuinely.
Chun Li felt guilty. 'Sorry about that sir. Can't tell you anymore.' "Can I go now?" She asked.
The officer nodded. Chun Li exited the office and found Ryu sitting in the lobby reading the paper. He looked up and saw Chun Li standing in front of him. "I'm done. Hey, do you wanna go get breakfast at that little café down the street?" Chun Li asked Ryu.
He smiled and got up. "Sure lets go." Ryu accepted and led Chun Li out of the Police Precinct.
"Yum." Chun Li replied in delight as she took a bite out of her blueberry bagel. Ryu chuckled.
"Excuse me? Would you like anything else?" A waitress smiled eagerly at them. Chun Li shook her head. "What about you Ryu?" He shook his head. "Okay then. Miss? This is for you." She handed Chun Li a rectangular brown box before walking away.
"Oh. A present? Might as well open it." As Chun Li began tearing the tape, Ryu noticed a man on the corner barstool watching them intently. He was wearing a brown coat and had dark sunglasses on. "Got it." Chun Li smiled.
Ryu turned his attention back to Chun Li. As she looked at the package her smile faded and her face was pale. Suddenly whatever was in the package sprung out, causing Chun Li to jump back in her seat and yelp. Chun Li was frozen in place. In front of her was a Egyptian cobra ready to strike.
Chun Li was moving away slowly. Its beady eyes followed her every movement flicking its tongue in rhythm with her rapid heartbeat. "Oh my god! It's a snake!" One of the costumers who averted her attention to from her meal to Chun Li screamed. 'Damn. Now its gonna bite me. Stupid woman.' Chun Li's thoughts raced with her heartbeat.
"Chun Li? Can you get out of your seat fast enough?" Ryu asked, slipping out of his seat. Chun Li shook her head, eyes set on the cobra. The cobra slithered towards her. It crawled on her arm and she suddenly felt her self go stiff.
Everyone in the café turned their attention on Chun Li. The cobra kept crawling towards the nape of her neck. Ryu stared at Chun Li, not knowing what to do. He could blast the thing, along with Chun Li. 'Nah. Too risky.' "Ryu? Can you give me a hand here? You know you can't expect me to solve this myself. I'm not crocodile Dundee."
Ryu stifled a giggle. "Hold on." He grabbed his coat and slowly draped it over the snake. The snake darted for Chun Li's neck to evade the jacket. It suddenly stopped short and Chun Li realized that Ryu was holding it's tail. She gawked at him. "What are you doing? Are you crazy?"
Ryu carefully lifted the snake and placed it back on the box. As soon as it was in, Chun Li dashed to cover it. "Well, what a great way to start the morning." He replied sarcastically and smirked.
Chun Li rolled her eyes and grabbed her coat. "I'll drop this off at the animal control center. Thanks for the breakfast Ryu." She ran out and waved outside the window. Ryu just leaned back and smiled to himself.
Evening came and it was time for Chun Li to get back to her hotel room. She had dropped the cobra at a local animal control center and had enough time to go shopping. Rummaging through her pockets, she fished for her keys and sighed in relief when she found it. As she opened the door she dropped a bag and it's contents spilled out.
"Oh…" Chun Li started and paused when she saw the sight of her room. "What the…" The room was even more trashed than it was before. "And I thought that the hotel was supposed to clean it up." Chun Li mused and stepped farther in her room.
"Yah that's what I thought too." A voice agreed surprising Chun Li. "So Miss Xiang? How are you señorita?" A Spanish woman was sitting on the couch, sipping from a wineglass.
"Who are you and why are you in my hotel room?" Chun Li demanded crossing her arms haughtily.
The woman laughed heartily, echoing through the room. "Well it seems as though we have not been formally introduced. I am Isabel. A Shadowlaw operative. I am hereby on Señor Vega's orders to eliminate you. Please give up I don't want the cleaning crew to work overtime."
"You'd like that wouldn't ya?" Chun Li retorted and lunged at Isabel. Isabel yelped in surprised and fell back behind the sofa. She stood up again, her blonde streaked hair falling in font of her face.
Giving Chun Li a kick, she spun once then jumped in the air, away from Chun Li's grasp. Chun Li looked up and turned behind her. It was too late since the Spaniard already delivered a punch on her face. Chun Li staggered back, recovering from the force of the punch. Retaliating, she jabbed swiftly to her left then to the right where she hit Isabel's right part of her stomach.
Isabel clutched her stomach and groaned partially in anger and in agony. "Damn you little girl. I guess you are a worthy opponent after all." She stood up fully and smirked.
Chun Li was surprised. 'How can she still be smirking after that?' Isabel laughed. She kicked the unsuspecting Chun Li towards the window and picked her up by the collar. "It will be sweet getting rid of you señorita."
"Yeah, but it'll be sweeter killing you." Chun Li retorted and kicked Isabel in the gut then did a back flip. She curled her fist in a tight ball and punched Isabel as hard as she could.
Without warning, Isabel screamed in fright as the window shattered and she hurled down onto the street. Chun Li didn't bother looking down. Instead she sat on the floor breathing heavily.
Picking up the receiver, she dialed the hotel management and sighed when someone picked up. "Hi. There's a mess in my room…"
*****************************
A/N: Like it of dislike it?? It is short and I hope that the next chapter will be longer and it will be updated soon. If it isn't I apologize ahead of time. Schoolwork is so much and plus, I'm going abroad and so...I don't know. I'll try to update soon. In the meantime, please review and encourage me to write. I'm afraid I'm getting a bad case of writer's block for Street Fighter. But I'm too young and anyone know what the remedy for writer's block is?
Anyway, enough of my rambling. Please review to encourage to write. Love ya'll! ^.^
