Prologue

“Hyatt !! Hyaa !! Shoryuken !!” – shout a Japanese teenager about 17 years old as he does 2 sidekicks and a powerful flying uppercut to his sparing partner, hitting his sparing partner right on his stomach and chin. He is wearing a white sleeveless karate gi, white pants, red wrist protector, and black belt.

“Ouch !!” – a young American teenager about the same age. as the flying uppercut sending him away. He is wearing exactly the same like his sparing partner, except that the gi color is red and his wrist protector is yellow.

“Alright, that’s enough.” – an old man that appears to be their teacher. “Okay, you two get some rest, and don’t forget to do the chores as usual.”

“Yes, Sensei.” – both of them on the same time. They bow to their sensei and leave to get rest.

“Ouch, that punch still hurts a lot. I have to watch out next time.” – Ken, the American teenager, rubbing his chin and his stomach.

The Japanese teenager, Ryu, smiles and offers a small towel to Ken, “Your lips bleed a bit.”

“Oh, thanks” – Ken as he takes the towel and rub his lips. He then takes a Discman from his small bag and plays it.

“New songs ?” – Ryu. He sometimes listen to Ken’s CD, and most of the time didn’t like it, probably because of different taste.

“Yup, wanna try ? I bet you’ll like it.”

“How much ?” – Ryu smiles, as he accepts one side of the earphone and plugs it into his right ear. After listening for a while, his head starts to shake, following the song beat. “Hey, this is great, I like it. Who’re the singers ?”

“See, I told you, you’ll like it. Here’s the CD cover, take a look by yourself. I bet your eyes will pop out.” – said Ken, grinning.

Ryu took the CD cover, and as he sees the singers his eyes almost pops out, just like what Ken said. “Wow, they’re beautiful. They look so mature.”

“Interested ?” – Ken, grinning. “They’re only about 15 to 16 years old, younger than us.”

“No way !!!” – Ryu “ They look at least about 20 something.”

Ken sighs “Trust me, I’ve read their profile in a magazine. And why they look more mature, its just because of the make up.” – Ken.

“Oh… which one do you like best ?” – Ryu.

“Me ? I like this one.” – Ken, pointing to one of the singers. “Her name is Eliza, and if I remember it correctly, she is the main singer.”

“Hmm… your taste is not bad.” – Ryu, teasing Ken, then receive a light punch on his shoulder. “I like the black hair one.” – Ryu, pointing to the singer on the middle.

“Oh, she ? she usually took the chorus part, or on the opening. Hey, your taste is not bad either.” – Ken, and receives a light punch on his shoulder. “Rumor said that she is a martial artist.”

“Wow, a singer and also a martial artist ? that’s rare. What’s her name ?” – Ryu.

“Her name is Chun Li.”

Several years later in Singapore…

A young man, about 25 years old, dark hair, tall, well-built body, dressed simple but nice. Yap, the man is Ryu, he has grown to be a mature man. Ryu now is a business consultant in Tokyo, his practice has been on for 3 years, and its quite success. Outside his practice, he is also a sensei in his own karate dojo. His dojo is more success than his practice, mainly because he had won many championships and tournaments, and that makes a good advertisement for his dojo. And not only that, because of his fondness of challenges, he always accept any challenger that came to his dojo, sometimes won, sometimes draw, but never lose to anyone. Right now he is in Singapore to attend a business convention with his secretary and also the best student in his dojo, Sean.

Ryu is now walking on a mall, doing a bit shopping, buying some clothes and doing some window shopping, alone. He is walking aimlessly, without care, when suddenly he bumps onto to someone.

“Ackk !!!” – the stranger, a voice of a woman.

He looks at the woman, and wow !!!, she is beautiful, long beautiful dark hair, body shaped like a guitar, pretty face, so perfect, ‘Words can’t explain how beautiful she is.’ thought Ryu. And he just realized that the woman is fall, her shopping bag scattered around her. He quickly offers his hand to help the woman up and apologize “I’m sorry, I wasn’t looking where I’m going. Are you okay ?”

“Yes, I’m fine, I’m sorry too, I didn’t see where I’m going I guess.” – the woman as she accepting Ryu’s help and gets up. “Thanks for the hand.” – she smiles, and the smile almost stops Ryu’s heartbeat. It is the most beautiful smile he ever saw, and somehow looks familiar to him.

“Err… let me get your bags.” As he crouches down and picks up her and his shopping bags.

“Thank you very much you’re very kind.” – said the woman and receives her shopping bags, obviously a lot more than Ryu’s.

“That’s okay, I’m sorry again to cause you trouble.”

“It’s okay, don’t worry. Well, I have to go. Thanks again, bye”

“Bye.”- Ryu. And he walks again, and watching the woman goes, somehow and somewhere he felt in his heart that he once saw this woman.

Ryu arrives in his hotel room and saw Sean on his bed, watching TV. “Oh… hi Boss, back so soon ? What did you buy ?” – Sean.

“Just some shirts, and I told you many, many times, no need to call me boss.” – Ryu as he puts down his shopping bag.

“Won’t be polite then.” – Sean, grinning. “Can I see the shirts ?”

“Why not ?” – Ryu, as he open the shopping bag and took out the contents, and soooo surprised to found out, that what are in his bag are not his shirts but some ladies underwears.

After a minute of silence…
...
...
...

“Umm… boss, are you sure you were buying shirts ?” – Sean.

“I… I…How… What…” - Ryu, looks so dumb and funny.

“Boss…, hello, earth to boss.” – Sean.

“That woman… gosh… must be swapped when we collided…” - Ryu, mumbling.

“Woman ? What woman, boss ?” – Sean.

“When I walked at the mall, I accidentally bumped onto a woman, and our shopping bags fall down, we must be accidentally swapped our bags.” explained Ryu.

“Well… unless if you ‘accidentally’ bought undies, I guess that’s what happened. So now what’re you gonna do ?” – Sean.

“Dunno, I guess I just have to let them go, unless if I can find that woman. Damn, those shirts are very good and expensive too.” – Ryu.

“Well, who knows ? Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to find that woman again somewhere. How does she looks ?” – Sean.

“The most beautiful woman in the world that I ever saw, but I guess I won’t be lucky enough. Well, just wait and see, I’ll keep those until we out of Singapore, then maybe give them to someone or throw them away.” – Ryu, still feeling irritated.
