Heritage and Chi Ch. 3
By Mariko Hoshi

It took two hours talking to Mariko to tell who her mother was. Chun-Li was about to lose it but as last Mariko told them. Ryu's mind race back to the time that he met Kaori.

He was walking down an ally way when a woman apear. She was not like a normal woman. She was wearing a black jacket. He could see the tatoos on her legs and arms. "And you are?" Ryu asked. She looked at him. "Just a girl out looking for some trouble. The name is Kaori. Are ya ready to rock?" Before Ryu could answer he found him self fighting the woman. She move like the wind and then her moves were powerful as well. Then she did something he didn't see coming. Kiss filled him with power. He looked into a pair of green eyes and that was all he remember. Next morring he woke up and found a note and one of his fighting gloves gone.

Chun-Li made a phone call and told her boss to find Kaori and bring her to the Dojo. Josh was watching Ryu and Mariko talking about many things. He wished that he could talk about with his father, but he knew that would not be, his father was an evil mad man. He was glad that Mariko and Ryu were getting to know each other. It mighted started off badly but once everyone calm down, Mariko and Ryu were acting like a father and daughter.

Josh took a deep breath and smiled. Ken came up to the boy. "So Josh are ya injoying your freedom." Green eyes looked up at Ken. He nodded. "The only time I was this happy was when I was with Sagat. He was the one that looked after me." Ken looked at Josh. "Sagat? He looked after you?" The boy nodded. Ken sat down beside Josh. Green eyes looked at Ken. Then Ken rubbed Josh's head. "Well I be looking after ya now." Josh blinked his eyes. "Are you sure. I mean..." Ken grin. "Don't worry about it. You're going to love it, living with us." A tear ran down Josh's face and he huged Ken. "Thank you." Ken held on to the boy. He knew that Bison would come for his son and no doult Bison will come after his son. "Why don't you go and have some fun with Mel and Mariko. I need to talk to the others." Josh got up and headed towards Mel. Ken walked over to Ryu and Mariko. Ryu looked up at Ken and could see that his friend had something on his mind. Mariko was told to talk to Mel and Josh. She could see something was up but she did as she was told.
