That night as Ryu woke up he found a giant seven foot spider on top of him with a dark aura surrounding it. Surprised he quickly got on his feet about to fight the spider. "Akuma. What form did you take? Now you're trying to take advantage of people's weaknesses." Ryu demanded.

The spider laughed sinisterly. "You're a fool to challenge me boy. My power has grown beyond your pathetic training of Gouken and has given me the power to change my form." The spider charged at Ryu and pinned him down as Ryu was unable to get out.

"Now you shall die by my hands." Akuma growled.

Ryu was paralyzed with fear of Akuma and spiders. "NO, no…I can't lose, it can't end like this." The fear was so overwhelming that his body began to shiver down to nothingness.

He woke up sweating in fear as it was nightmare. He found Juri on him like a spider. "Did I frighten you baby?" Juri asked concern for Ryu.

"No…not at all it was a bad dream I had." Ryu replied wiping the sweat from his face.

"How so…then why don't I help you relax?" Juri suggested.

Juri grasped Ryu's chest relaxing her body on top of his to ease his tension. Juri then started to lick his neck as Ryu embraced their bodies together. Ryu placed his lips on Juri's neck as she moaned in passion.

"Hmmm…that feels so good. Show me what else you can do tough guy. I haven't had this much fun in while." Juri moaned. Juri touched Ryu's lips as they kissed again with passion and affection rather than lust.

Ryu placed his hand on Juri's hair and untied her ribbon on her bang hair letting her hair down. "You know you're quite lovely like this." Ryu said with a smile.

"Don't insult me!" Juri said Embarrassed on Ryu's comment.

"You're lovely when you act more womanly." Ryu complimented.

Juri chuckled a bit. "Okay handsome whatever you say." Juri lied on Ryu's chest resting her head. The two of them slept peacefully together not worrying about any negative thoughts on their mind and enjoying each other's company.

"Don't think this is over yet we still got all night baby." Juri teased.

The next morning Ryu was still asleep as Juri watched his sleeping face. She then put a spider on his chest. As the spider made its way towards Ryu's mouth he woke and found it in his mouth. Ryu then jumped from his bed in fear quickly getting away from the spider sending the spider flying. He was pinned to the wall breathing very heavily. "The spider from my nightmares!" Ryu shrieked.

Juri laughed in excitement over her devious prank she pulled on Ryu. "Oh man that was just hysterical. I never knew you would be so jumpy over a little spider. If that's the case then maybe I should crawl on you spider style." Juri said getting into a spider position teasing Ryu.

Embarrassed by Juri's prank Ryu left the room and put on his traditional Karate Gi. Juri placed her hand on Ryu's chest with passion. "If spiders are most likely to bring you down then Akuma will slaughter you in seconds." Juri teased putting back on her outfit.

Ryu sighed. "You're right; I have to get stronger not to let mere insects slow me down." He replied. "Then I suggest a more subtitle environment to help you out." Juri suggested.

Ryu stood in solid dirt where spiders had reside focusing his mind on his training. Juri watched him from the sidelines admiring his skills. Spiders begin to crawl on Ryu's feet as he suddenly started to feel tense. Fearing the worse Ryu quickly did a back flip to evade the spiders.

He signed in relief. Juri jumped him unexpectedly and pinned him down to the ground and showed him her spider design on her back. "Surely a design of spider is enough to make you twitch? That's rather pitiful if you ask me. I thought you were supposed to be a fierce warrior, but I guess even strong ones have their weaknesses." Juri teased.

"I suppose you have weakness as well." Ryu guessed.

"Absolutely, but you need to be more concern on your training to beat your arch foe right now." Juri reminded.

"Right…" Ryu wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathe softly to ease his tension of his fear of spiders. He sat in the dirt peacefully pretending the spiders weren't there, but deep down he was still shaking inside. Spiders continued to crawl all over Ryu's legs as his aura brushed off the spiders.

As Ryu focused his energy he remembered all his training by his late master Gouken. "This is the power of nothingness." He instructed fending off Akuma's dark Hadou. "Even so, your power is no match for mine let this be a battle to the death… brother." Akuma roared.

Akuma shot a dark Hadou at Gouken as it brushed off of him like air. "The darkness will corrupt your soul if you keep this up Akuma." Gouken warned. "I don't need you to tell me that." Akuma charged at Gouken with his powerful fist as an even darker aura surrounded Akuma's entire body, which shocked Gouken.

"This power is overwhelming; I could use it to destroy you and that cub of yours." Akuma threatened.

Gouken and Akuma stood from a distance as their aura's surrounded their bodies matching their equal power.

Ryu's eyes grew bright blue as his aura blew away the spiders by not moving one bit and focusing his energy. He then rose up in determination and shot a Hadoken to a far off distance. He got a spider on his finger and admired its presence letting it go in the wild.

"Well, well, seems like you're finally able to touch them without freaking out." Juri complimented.

"Humph…I'm not a fan of spiders and never will be." Ryu replied watching the spider's natural habitat. Juri held Ryu's and leaned her head on his shoulder.

Meanwhile in the S.I.N base Cammy suddenly infiltrated the base knocking out a bunch of S.I.N agents. "Now then… let's see what I can find on S.I.N now …And you Juri." Cammy chirped in pursuit of Juri.

More to come on the way
