Akuma's invitation

Chun Li is in the kitchen preparing a romantic evening with her husband Ryu. Candles. Champagne. Expensive and exotic seafood, one of Ryu's favorite dishes. "Ryu?" Chun Li notices Ryu hug her from behind. She turns around hoping to get a kiss from Ryu but was returned with a sad look. Ryu had a letter in his hand, a letter from Akuma. Chun Li slowly takes the letter from Ryu and reads it. "It's from Akuma. He wants a rematch from you in front of your late Master's temple and he wants to fight you now?" A tear flowed down from Chun Li's eye, she knew what this means. "You are going to leave me for the fight? I thought you promised me!" Chun Li threw the letter back at Ryu and ran out the kitchen. She went to the next room and collapsed on the sofa crying.

"Chun Li, you didn't let me explain." Ryu tries to dry Chun Li's tears with his hands. He had no intentions of leaving Chun Li for the fight. "Yes, Akuma has asked for a rematch and yes I accepted his challenge but I am not going alone. I need you to come with me. I cannot defeat Akuma without your help. I will always honor my wedding vows to you and my love for you comes first." Ryu kisses Chun Li on the cheeks and waited for her response.

"I can't lose you to the fight again. I just can't. It hurts too much when you're gone."

"It hurts me even more when we're not together. Even when I train, Chun Li, you are always on my mind."

"Oh, Ryu, for a minute there I thought the worst." Chun Li stopped crying. "But how can I help you defeat Akuma?"

"I need you by my side to give me strength. I was defeated by Akuma before because I was weak. But now I am much stronger because I have something worth fighting for and that is our love. I'll get my title back and I'll make you really proud of me and then I promise you that I will retire from the fight scene." Ryu finished talking and hugged Chun Li. Those were the very words Chun Li was waiting to hear. Chun Li nodded in agreement that she will accompany Ryu to the fight. "Chun Li, I'm the luckiest man in the world to have a perfect woman like you for a wife. So how about that romantic dinner that you had planned? I'm starved."
