Following the attempt, Chun Li's superiors have placed Chun Li on medical leave to allow her to recover from her injuries.
Aside from the cut on her head (which wasn't going to leave a scar after it healed), Chun Li had a mild concussion and several bruises, while Ryu, who also had a concussion and numerous bruises, had a serious cut in his arm and ended up having to get over thirty stitches to close the injury.
After an overnight stay in the hospital, Ryu and Chun Li returned home to Sora. Right now, the Interpol agent was in the bed resting while Ryu was in the dojo, in his black gi and red headband, meditating. He knew that following Bison's death by his hand, that he, Chun Li, and even Ken and William Guile were potential targets for elimination by Shadowlaw's remanants, with him and Chun Li the primary targets.
His Dark Hadou powered senses felt the presence of someone outside the dojo. He stood up and walked outside. He looked around the place and saw no one. Stepping out into the courtyard, he addressed the unseen visitor.
"A little too early for you stealth routine, isn't it, little sister?"
The mystery woman was perched on the dojo's rooftop. Ryu turned around, just as she leapt gracefully from the roof and landed on the ground. She was Japanese, younger than Ryu, with shoulder-length reddish-brown hair that was tied into a ponytail, the bangs just barely hanging over her brown eyes. She was dressed in a black tanktop, dark gray cargo pants and tennis shoes.
"Heard you and your fiancee had a little trouble last night, Ryu," Miya Hoshi, formerly known as Satsuki said, her sheathed Murumasa slung over one shoulder.
"Trouble is an understatement, Miya," Ryu replied, addressing the former doll by her real name. "More like nearly being blown to Kingdom Come is more appropriate."
Ryu was still getting used to the fact that he had a sister four years younger than he was. However, the fact that she was a former Shadowlaw agent was even more surprizing. Gouken had mentioned something about another sibling, but she had vanished without a trace the same time Ryu's parents had died.
It was Miya who had kept Ryu out of Shadowlaw's clutches, following her discovery that she was the sibling of the Ansatsuken fighter that General Bison was after through several DNA tests of Ryu's blood that Shadowlaw had stored. She had contacted him on several occasions, warning him of Shadowlaw's traps, this keeping Ryu one step ahead of the crime syndicate. It was shortly before the tournament that she revelased herself as a Shadowlaw operative...and his estranged sister.
Ryu couldn't bring himself to tell Chun Li...yet. Mention Shadowlaw around her and she automatically thinks of Bison. Ryu was thinking about a way to break the news to Chun Li. So far, nothing good has come to mind.
"Is there something you're not telling me?" Ryu asked.
Miya sat on the dojo's porch and rested her sword against a post. "I know who's after you," she said. "They're the same two that killed my mentor. Their names are Cracker Jack and Doctrine Dark. They also know that you're my brother, which is why they are targeting you and your fiancee."
"Great," Ryu sarcastically replied.
"Don't underestimate them, Ryu," Miya warned. "They are trained killers."
"Good," Ryu replied evilly. "I eat trained killers for breakfast. And I'm VERY hungry."
"Have you told Chun Li about me yet?"
"Nope," Ryu replied. "Because if I mention Shadowlaw, her head spins 360 degrees and she goes into a psychotic rage."
"And you're marrying her?" Miya asked, eyebrow raised. "You got some strange taste in women."
"And you got bad taste in employers," Ryu snidely replied.
"I've also heard from a friend of mine in Interpol that Chun Li's leading the investigation against Shadowlaw's operaions here in Japan," Miya continued. "Also, she called in a favor from MI-6."
"That she is," Ryu replied. "What do you know about it?"
Miya reached into her back pocket and pulled out a manilla folder. "Give this to Chun Li. This has the names and locations of various members still loyal to Shadowlaw, as well as finances and other little tidbits that will make you little Interpol agent drool with delight."
Ryu accepted it. "She's going to ask where I got this from," he says as he looks down at the envelope. When he looked up, Miya had disappeared. That was the second time that she had did that on him.
Later on...
"Since when did you have a contact in Shadowlaw?" Chun Li asked as she scanned the papers. "This is the break that I needed. Influential people, dirty cops, dirty money. This is like a dream come true."
"I have my ways," Ryu replied. "She's the one who allowed me to stay one step head of them."
Chun Li looked up. "'She?'"
"Jealous?"
"Who is she, Ryu?" Chun Li asked. "Aside from the fact that she is a former Shadowlaw member."
"In time, I'll tell you," Ryu replied. "Now's not the time."
That wasn't what Chun Li wanted to hear, but she bought it for the time being. "Okay. I'll call my boss and tell them to scramble the troops. You're off the hook for the time being, but I want the truth about your contact soon."
Ryu nodded nochalantly. "I'll tell you soon enough."
