Sakura: Just one more note. . . DeNice left translations for the moves in
the text in parenthesis. It'll be there only when it's said the first time
so that it won't interfere for the rest of the story. Besides, how would
you like it if you didn't know what we were saying, anyway?
CHAPTER 2: URIKO & REI
All eyes turned to Sakura as she entered the restaurant, seeing what's going on. As a typical robbery would me, all the innocent customers were on the floor so that things wouldn't be hard on whoever tried to rob the place. She received numerous gestured to head back. . . but Sakura just frowned and walked forward. She turned the corner towards the register. . . and gasped. There were two teenagers from Tengo High, one of Tamagawa Minami High's academic rivals. . . but they were still in their black and gray school uniforms, not in standard robbery-type clothes that Sakura was used to seeing. Also, they had no weapons. . . However, Sakura definitely sensed strong auras around them.
She stood still as the male, a red-head that was slightly taller then the black-haired girl next to him, raided the register as the girl handled the cashier by the collar.
"It's nice that you were so generous to give us your money," she said. "I think that I'll come back one day. I like your hospitality."
As he stuttered, the girl turned her head to the side towards her partner and since Sakura only saw their backs ever since she came in, this was the first time she was her face. She was actually pretty beautiful with her soft, creamy skin and brown eyes.
"Hey, Rei!" she called. "Let's get out of here."
"Sure, Uriko. I've got everything we need."
Sakura saw Rei's face for the first time at that moment. He had two very small dark spots on his left cheek and had blue eyes. Sakura never seen anyone in Japan with that complexion. Not even Kyosuke was like that. Just then the two turned around towards the exit. . . but met up with a zoning out Sakura.
"Hey! Who are you?" Uriko demanded sternly, snapping Sakura out her daze. She shook her head and regained her adrenaline.
"That doesn't matter. Just what are you two doing here?" Sakura shot back. "You know that what your doing isn't right!"
Rei raised an eyebrow as he eyes Sakura's hands and saw her red sparring gloves. A smile crossed his face.
"Oh, I see. . . You came here to try to stop us, didn't you, Sakura Kasugano? I don't think you know what you know what you got yourself into. . ."
Sakura growled a bit while getting into a fighting stance. "How do you know who I am?"
"Please! You were in that Turn of the Century tournament 2 years ago," he responded while stepping forward. "Uriko, I'll take her on."
Just then, Uriko's arm shot out, blocking his way.
"No. . . That wouldn't be right. You beating up girls. . . I'll take her on."
Rei pouted. "Whatever. . ."
Uriko smiled. . . and then charged towards Sakura, throwing a hard punch to the face. Sakura ducked and tried to sweep, but Uriko raised up her front leg and stomped on her sneaker with her school shoe, pinning it down. Sakura yelped in pain as Uriko then punched her in the forehead, making her lie on her back. The Tengo girl smiled as she sat on Sakura's body and raised her right hand up into the air. It started to glow dark blue as a small sphere of energy appeared. . .
"Nekura. . . Reiken!! (Dark Natured Spirit Fist!!)" Uriko called out as she threw her hand out into Sakura's fist and unleashed a huge blast of energy at point-blank range. As it cleared up Uriko grinned. . . then frowned. Sakura blocked just in time, a few scratches on her arm and shirt sleeves.
"You won't be so easy to beat, I see. . ." Uriko let out. . . then was taken by surprise as Sakura nailed her in her face, making her fall off. Sakura stood up as fast as she could and charged up her own energy in her hands.
"Hadouken! (Surge Fist!)"
Sakura fired but Uriko was quick to get up and roll to the side, avoiding it. To add to that, Uriko kicked Sakura in her side before she could recover and made the Tamagawa Minami student reel into a table. Sakura recovered her senses and gasped as her opponent jumped into the air with her left leg on fire and just as Uriko kicked out, Sakura moved to her right, letting the flames eat away at the table.
Sakura continued to dodge Uriko's attacks until she grabbed a fist and swung around to her back, getting hold to Uriko's neck and proceeded to choke her about 7 times before bashing her over the head with an elbow. Uriko stayed on the burgundy carpet for a while, shaking her head from dizziness and Sakura kept an eye on her. Bad move.
"Get lost twerp!" a male voice yelled from behind Sakura. She spun around and met a fist to her right cheek from Rei, blasting her into a restaurant wall. Even before she could slide to the floor, Rei sped to her and threw multiple punches to all points of her body at lightning speed.
"Mikon. . . Entenken! (Wild. . . Blazing Fist!)" Rei yelled out as he raised his right fist above him, ready to strike her down. . . only to be grabbed by the shoulder and spun around.
"What the. . .!?"
"REKKA NAKKURA!! (RAGING KNUCKLE!!)"
The new voice came from a very pissed off Darrell Markis, who let out all his anger into his 18-hit onslaught, ending with his flaming punch, the Shakunetsuken (Scorching Heat Fist). Rei's body crashed right next to Sakura's and slid to the floor and Darrell helped his girlfriend off the ground.
"You okay?" he asked. Sakura brushed her slightly limp brown hair off her forehead and replied, "Yeah. . . sort of. . . They sure do hit hard. . ."
"I saw. . ."
"What happened to your game?"
"Kei's holding it but that's not important now."
"You. . . Damn you!!"
Rei quickly got off the wall and stood next to Uriko who just got up off the ground and brushed off her black skirt. By this time, the restaurant was empty; the customers and employees already out running from the fight.
"I don't know who you are. . ." Rei started towards Darrell, "but I don't have time for this. Uriko! Let's go!"
"I don't think so!" Darrell yelled back, his fists coming together in front of him and forming a large flame sword which he held with his right hand. "You aren't going anywhere. It's bad enough that you robbed this place. . . but then you 2-on-1 my girlfriend?! I'm not taking that lying down!"
Darrell then rushed forward, sword ready, and used a downed chair to propel him up into the air.
"Eat this!!!"
And then he came down with his slash. . . but Rei blocked it with one fist, leaving Darrell stunned.
"Wha-gck!"
Rei grabbed him by the throat and raised him high. The thing was Rei was only an inch or two taller than Darrell was. His grip was very tight, preventing Darrell from breathing.
"I said that I don't have time for this!" Rei yelled in Darrell's face as he let out more cries of pain. Darrell then got desperate and used his sword to try to slash Rei from close range. Rei saw this and grabbed Darrell's wrist and pinned it behind his back, the flames burning Darrell's backside. . . Rei heard another suppressed yell of pain and smirked.
"This ought to teach you for messing with us. . ."
"Shinku. . . (Vaccum. . .)"
Rei's attention went to Sakura, who was at his left, charging up an even larger sphere of electric energy in her hands. Before he could react, she fired.
"HADOUKEN!!"
The huge wave of power knocked away a load of tables and chairs as it went full speed to Rei. . . and then Uriko popped up out of nowhere and blocked it for him. Sakura didn't notice it until too late as Uriko quickly dashed in and planted her fist deep into her stomach. Sakura's wail rang throughout the empty restaurant as Uriko smiled.
"Oh. . . is this too much for you and your boyfriend?" Uriko asked mockingly. "Then I'm sorry. . . but this will really hurt."
Uriko's fist glowed white. . . then a hue energy dome shot out of it, sending Sakura right into a wall. . . and she slid down, K.O.'ed. The middle of her school shirt was ripped open at the point of impact and a huge, red bruise rested on her stomach.
"Sa. . . Sakura!" Darrell cried out. He saw it through the corner of his eye what had happened to her. . . and then Rei snickered softly.
"You shouldn't worry about her. . . I think that you'll join her, now, since I, too, know that move. . ."
Darrell's eyes went wide in fear as Rei blasted his fist into his stomach, instantly making Darrell throw up onto the carpet. Rei gave a disgusted groan and his fist glowed white. . . and the same white dome appeared, throwing Darrell's body all the way across the restaurant right next to Sakura, also knocked out in similar fashion.
"Ugh! Disgusting!" Rei let out as he used a tablecloth to wipe off the residue from his left hand. Uriko just giggled.
"You punched him too hard when you used the Chichio Senkou (Blood Flash) didn't you?" she asked.
"Yeah, I guess so. . . Come on. . . Let's get outta here. . . before someone calls the cops.
As the two left, a frightened Kei looked on, glad that they didn't notice her. Instantly she rushed in. . . and saw her friends on the floor, battered, bruised, and beaten. . . and then she screamed. . .

Sakura: That was the end of Chapter 2?? This sucks! We got our asses kicked!
Darrell (off screen, sipping a soda): Relax. . . We'll get them back later.
Sakura (giving a stern look): How do YOU know??
Darrell (off screen, shrugs while continuing his drink): I just know. I can feel it. Besides, we're the good guys in this story. . . I think. . .
Sakura (sighs): Whatever. Anyway, Chapter 3 is coming soon, so keep your eyes on this. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to soak up in my hot tub that DeNice bought me. . .
Darrell (thinking): And I'll be taking pictures of it the entire time. . .
