Ibuki is currently leaning against a wall in a dark alley. She is looking around trying to find the building she is looking for. The alley is empty and silent. Suddenly she hears a door open and looks toward the other side of the alley.

Two men in black trench coats exit the door; they close the door and then exhale. "Finally some time away from that guy!" one says.

"Yeah…he's such a pain in the a**, well lets go for a drink" the second says.

The first nods and smiles and both exit the alley through a curve. Ibuki grins under her mask and her eyes narrow "Bingo…" She thinks and begins walking silently toward the door.

She keeps her eyes peeled and her senses alert, knowing the place is probably heavily guarded. She hugs the wall with her back as the door gets closer and closer. She senses a familiar presence in the nearby vicinity.

"Huh? What's she doing here? Oh d**n…I hope she doesn't ruin my infiltration mission…too much is at stake…" Ibuki thinks. She pushes the thought aside as she reaches the door.

She looks around one last time before attempting to open the door. She soon finds out that it is locked. She narrows her eyes "Locked eh? No locked is safe from the prying hands of a Shinobi." She thinks and then puts her ear to the door. She begins knocking lightly on the area near the handle.

She then hears a different sound and smiles under her mask. She keeps a finger on the spot and pulls back. Then she pulls back her fist and inhales deeply. She then throws a punch towards that area.

She moves her finger and her knuckles slam into the area, then a loud clang is heard upon contact. Ibuki grimaces as pain shoots through her hand, but hears the clicking of an unlocking door and it turns into small smile.

She waves her hand to make the pain dull a lil and opens the door very slowly, the opening door not even emitting the slightest of sounds.

"Hey, what was that?" She hears a voice from within the building and curses under her breath.

She places her ear to the door and listens carefully; She hears five voices speaking in Japanese. And then backs away from the door and moves to stand against the wall.

She inhales silently and prepares to attack, her leg muscles tensing and her mind racing in preparation for battle. "Here we go…It starts," She thinks.

Chunli is walking down the busy central Tokyo streets. Her facade is unreadable and her body is slightly tensed. Her hair is tied in her trademark buns and her spike bracelets gleam in the street lamps light.

Her gun is strapped to her right hilt, while her badge to her left. She looks forward as she sees the towering building she's been looking for in her view. " There it is…time to pay…you murderers… She thinks.

She narrows her eyes and approaches the entrance. When she opens the door and looks around quickly, the sight of a rather empty bar greets her, only 5 men are sitting there and talking to eachother.

She closes the door behind her, and scans the area again, noticing a backdoor guarded by two men as well.

"We're closed lady! Take a hike!" one says and points at the door.

"I'm with Interpol…I'd like to talk to your supervisor…now!" Chunli says sternly.

They all laugh loudly "Will you look at that, the lil woman wants to push us around…" one says.

"He's too busy babe! So…But could keep ya company in the meantime, if ya know what I mean" one of them says and raises his brows and winks.

Chunli shivers with revolution "Ugh…what a pig!" She thinks. "How bout this: you show me to your boss, or you'll be eating through a straw for the rest of you're lives, If you know what I mean" she says.

They laugh again and get up "If ya won't come willingly…you'll come unwillingly…C'mon boys…get her!" one of them shouts. Chunli enters her stance and scans the approaching thugs.

"Can't shoot indoors, it's too risky, bullet might bounce off walls and hit me…guess I'll have to kick their a**es myself" She thinks as they approach.

Suddenly a thud is heard from the direction of the back door. "Huh? What was that?" one of the men says.

"Hiro, Kei go check it out!" He says.

Two of the thugs nod at the comment and move towards the door. The remaining three thugs turn to Chunli and crack their fists. Chunli smirks and inhales deeply, a small glint of satisfaction shining in her brown eyes as she can already see how she's gonna pummel these men to dust.

One of them dashes forward while swinging his fist; Chunli sidesteps and extends her foot. It crashes into the man's abdomen forcing him to bend over; Chunli then raises her hands and takes a step forward.

She does a handstand and spins around while extending her legs in opposite directions. Her feet slam into the two attacking thugs' face twice before she rises to her feet. The three thugs shake their heads and glare daggers at her.

She motions them to approach and throws a small mocking smile.

"So the b*tch wants to play rough, eh? Let's teach her not to mess with the Yakuza!" One of them says and leaps forward aiming a jump kick at Chunli. She crosses her arms in response and his attack is blocked against her arms.

She then does a small somersault backwards and pulls her hands back. Blue wisps of Chi collect in her hands and she throws them forward "Kikoken!" She shouts

An oval sphere of blue chi escapes her hands and flies toward the thug. He ducks and it slams into the wall. A blinding blue flash erupts and then an explosion is heard. Smoke fills the room.

The thugs cough and when the smoke clear they see a large hole is now left upon the wall. They gulp and look at Chunli with new fear and respect.

They now enter martial arts stances and approach her carefully. Chunli eyes them coldly and keeps her stance steady, ready for anything they might muster to try and defeat her.

Meanwhile the other two after lingering on the battle now remember they need to check out the weird bang they heard before. One of them opens the door lazily and walks outside.

"Nobody's here…must've been a drunkard" He says.

From within the shadows two brown eyes peer on them. Suddenly the door is sent flying closed slamming into the one of men's side, pushing him to the ground violently.

A figure shrouded in shadows leaps into view. It moves so quickly that they can't recognize its features. The thugs goes wide eyed as it dashes toward him.

He tries to attack by throwing a punch, but in his fear and surprise the attack is clumsy and easily avoided. The figure blocks it quickly and then slams a punch into his gut, followed by a punch to his nose.

He backs away and holds his nose, only to be hit by a powerful kick to the left cheek. His head snaps sideways and he groans as another kick hits his upper chest area. The blurry figure leaps over him, kicking off his body to do so.

It lands behind him and melts into the shadows again. The thugs coughs and holds his chest, coughing and spitting blood. "What…the he…hell was that?" He questions his companion who gets up.

"I dunno but…here it comes again!" He shouts as the figure dashes forward, an elbow slams into his gut. He exhales, the air forced out of his lungs before another three powerful punches hit the same area consecutively.

Then the figure throws its leg backwards, hitting the other thug who tried to sneak behind it. It then leaps upwards and extends a foot, hitting the two thug's face one after the other with a spinning kick.

They're both thrown off balance. Then the figure lands lightly on it's feet before dashing towards one, it picks him up and throws him over its shoulder. He cries as he slams into his counterpart and from there they land in a heap after hitting the wall.

The figure looks down at the two unconscious figures and hmphs. "What a pushover" It thinks and steps into the light for a second. Showing it to be Ibuki (Not too surprising, is it?).

She then walks towards the door and enters. She sees three figures surround Chunli. She smirks, as she knows they're going to be beaten badly. Suddenly she sees Chunli move to look at her direction and breaks into a quick sprint toward a corridto her left.

"Hey, who's that?" Chunli thinks as she sees a figure dash with incredible speed toward a side corridor. Another amazing fact is that the figure is impressively stealthy in its movement, not catching her attackers' attention.

She recognizes the Chi and aura of the figure but can't pinpoint its owner. Her lingering on the thought costs her as one of the thugs suddenly hits her with a kick to the abdomen.

Another takes advantage as well and punches her face; the third picks up a nearby wooden stool and pulls it back. Chunli goes wide-eyed and quickly leaps out of the way of certain defeat.

The chair shatters on the ground as she lands behind them. They attack again, Chunli leaps forward and hits one with a kick to the nose, then she kicks off his face and somersaults. She places her feet on the wall and pushes again.

She glides forward while spinning, she then slams an elbow into another's gut, when she lands from the assault, then she blocks the third's punches. One by swatting it aside with her forearm and the other with her hand.

Then she pulls back her arm and hits the man with her spiked bracelet. He cries in pain as it cuts his chest. She then leaps forward while beginning to spin. She extends her foot and nails his lower cheek.

When she lands she grabs the other two thugs and slams their heads together. They slump to the ground unconscious and she gives a triumphant smile before she hears a clicking sound.

"Don't…move...b*tch" The one who's still conscious says as he aims a magnum pistol at her abdomen. He's a few feet away and it's too risky to try and disarm him. She curses under her breath in Chinese and raises her hands.

"So…you *spitting* wanna…*exhale* see…the *inhale* boss? Lets go see him…he'll tell me what to do with you…you lousy gaishou" He says and wipes the stream of blood which flows down his nose.

Chunli growls under her breath and complies as he begins leading her towards the same corridor that Ibuki ran down. He is careful despite his pain and exhaustion to keep a 5 feet distance from Chunli, and keep the gun steadily aimed at her back.
