SKETTY24 = reads your review ...Whoa O.O! Wedding, you say? Hmmm....As usual, I must keep myself from giving away spoilers. LMAO! The 'tie – shoe' thing I put in for a little comic relief! Lol! And come on, she was getting frustrated. LOL!!! (Stryker was acting pretty duh, but you can't blame him. Even I can't tie a necktie x.x!)
PENDRAGON4 = The vision will definitely play a bigger part later on ! Just you wait and see.
DU SOLEIL ORIENTAL = It is true that the X-Men exposed Stryker's experiments to the president at the end of X2. But in this fanfic, we assume that the president had decided to talk things over with Stryker instead. He probably didn't pay too much attention to the papers the xmen gave him. lol. And if the president did know about the underground base, it would make the plot of this fanfic too complicated and stretched x.x.
DIVINE GUARDIAN = I hope ya have fun with your 6 week trip =)! If you want, I could email you all the chapters once the story's completed =)!

CHAPTER 15: Survival of the fittest
"Are you okay?!" He asked again, but she didn't reply. Her eyes just stared into nothingness. He slowly reached out to touch her shoulder.
"Don't touch me!!!" She shouted as she slapped his hand away. Her eyes looked at him furiously. She couldn't admit it, but he was able to snap her awake from her trance.
"I was just trying to help." He said with a firm tone in his voice.
She stared deep into his eyes. "Well I don't need your help."
Yuriko felt the sincerity of his action, but nothing would ever change the way she looked at him. Not even that dream, or any of his attempts to win her forgiveness.
She walked to the desk and picked up Stryker's envelope. "We better get going. The sooner we meet with the president, the sooner we can meet with our old friends." She emphasized the word 'friends'. She was actually referring to the X-Men.
Stryker's eyebrows furrowed.
"Friends?" He asked. "Our friends?"
So there were other people who knew him? Perhaps they could help him regain his memory. At least now he knew that she wasn't the only one he had in his life. But considering the man he once was, what kind of friends did he have?
A sly smile curled up her lip. "You'll know soon enough." She really didn't know how the professor and his mutants would react to their sudden 'resurrection'.
"How about you?" He suddenly asked. "You can't meet with the president looking like that." He pointed at the damaged, dirty clothes she was wearing. He finally had the opportunity to ridicule her. He almost wanted to smile.
She opened the door and glared at him. "Don't think of me as stupid, William. Unlike you, I know this place like the back of my hand. There are some clothing shops on the ground floor. I'll buy my clothes from there."
Yuriko walked out the bedroom and towards the front door. Stryker followed after her.
"You have money?" He asked curiously.
She suddenly unleashed her claws and pointed them towards his neck. "I'm getting tired of your questions. If I were you, I'd stop asking them and just follow me."
Yuriko was quite surprised that Stryker didn't flinch at the sight of her claws. There used to be fear in his eyes whenever she unraveled her adamantium blades, but now he seemed unaffected by them. He didn't even shy away when she brought them close to his neck. He just stared into her eyes.
"Okay. If you say so." He had a mocking tone in his voice.
She didn't like how he was acting. He was slowly starting to lose his fear of her, and she didn't like that one bit. She wanted him to fear her. She wanted him to fear her mere presence.
She retracted her claws and walked to the elevator with Stryker following a few paces behind. She pressed the down button and waited for the elevator to reach their floor.
Much to her surprise, he suddenly walked in front of her and crossed his arms over his chest. He leaned his back against the wall and smiled at her shrewdly.
"You can't threaten me anymore, Yuriko Oyama." He said in a rather cocky way.
He'd had enough of her threats. He was tired of being a slave to her every command. So maybe he did do those awful things to her, but that was in the past. He wasn't even sure if he really did do them. The only proof he had was those visions and he didn't even trust their authenticity.
Yuriko raised an eyebrow. "And why is that?" She was right. Stryker was definitely losing his fear of her.
The smile on his lips grew wider. "Because you need me, Yuriko. I have something you want and you have something I want. And that is why you're not going to kill me. Because we need each other."
She looked into his eyes and laughed. "Poor William...." She said with a hint of sarcasm.
A confused look formed on Stryker's face as he saw Yuriko's reaction.
"I don't need you." She ran her fingers through his hair. "I just need that big, beautiful brain of yours." She patted him on the head then moved her hand away.
There was a sly smile on Yuriko's lips as she continued to talk. "You see, I can afford to cut off some of your body parts, and still leave you alive and breathing. That would be enough for me to get what I want, but can you live with that?"
The fear was definitely back in Stryker's eyes. He gulped as he looked at her.
She suddenly pinned him against the wall and moved her lips closer to his ear. "So tell me, William. Which body part should I cut off first?" She asked in a whisper. She smelled the fear in him and that fueled her.
"Should we start with your ----"
Yuriko was suddenly cut off as the elevator door opened.
The elevator operator had a shocked look on his face as he saw the display in front of him.
She quickly pushed herself off Stryker and straightened her clothes. She looked at the elevator operator and smiled. "Mr. Stryker and I were just having a little talk, ---". Her eyes wandered at the operator's nametag. "- --Ted."
Stryker was still pressed against the wall. He could still feel his heart racing. It looked like the tables weren't really on his side after all. And he truly had no choice but to follow her every command.
Yuriko looked at him and gave him a fake smile. "Shall we go, Mr. Stryker?"
Stryker wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Um, yes. Yes, Ms. Oyama. I believe we should go now." He relaxed himself then smoothed his necktie. He saw Yuriko glare at him as he followed her into the elevator.
The elevator door closed and Yuriko knew she had just regained her place at the top of the food chain.
