It rains down upon the simple city of Kohaku giving life to a new start, a new journey if you will. Down the outskirts of this rural town a train pulls into an almost deslolte station. One of which has been around for quite sometime just by the look of it. As the trains comes to a complete stop slowing down second by second so does the rain as it begins to dissapate. Now it only sprinkles and two stangers set foot on the soaked marble ground. A blonde long haired man and young spike headed boy walk away as the trail takes off whistleing.

" So do you think your ready for the next level of training, it'll be a tough one that I can assure. You can still back down, if your chicken. " he asked throwing his blonde locks back.

The boy rested leaned his neck right then left leting out a pop, looked up and said " Well were here arent we, besides this is where we part ways untill you get what ever you wanted done. Plus I have people to see and things to do "

Ken reached to him grabbing him by the shoulder " Gash dont get cocky now, aside from that there are some things I need to tell you."

Gash stepped to the side asking " Oh yeah what is it then? " grinning.

" For starters you have a bad american accent, if you can stick to english. Your Japanese is rough and meet me back here in three days and then we'll continue, alright? "

He picked up his duffle bag with the few things he had with him, flinging it over his shoulders, then began to walk away, lastly stating " Is that all? ".

" Hey! " Ken said seriously. " No it isnt and dont listen to Chun-Li, I know you want to help out but you could get seriously hurt I dont think your ready for what she does. Leave the police work to her alright. After all the Shadow VII gang is just rumors, there wont be no uproar. " after he said that Ken Masters raised up one of his eyebrow while crossing his arms, asking " So your gonna see Ibuiki and Makoto aren't you? My little Gashy is growing up, keep it up and you'll be a real ladies man."

Ken had Gash in a headlock at this point giving him a noogie and making smooch sounds. " Ken lay off would ya, besides your a married man, how is Eliza by the way. "

" Tsk Tsk Tsk you dissapoint me Gash, asking a question with a question, shes fine, now dont keep your girl friends waiting. " laughing towards the end of that sentance.

" Honestly you get on my nerves " he was a bit red in the cheeks trying not to let it show, embarraesed by his sensei's teasing but thats the way Ken was. Gash then walked away this time heading strait towards the city.
