>     The owner of the restaurant had just gone upstairs, and was 
>just about to go to sleep.  He lay on the couch, covered in 
>blankets, with only one thought in his head.
>     *If Umbrella ever does anything to his city, they'll all pay.*
>     For the first time in his life, he'd met someone who seemed to 
>like him for who he was, not what he was.  Trent wasn't a real 
>friend, he was just using him to fight Umbrella.  His ex-father had 
>used him as a bodyguard.  Pat had…
>     *Pat…my dearest Pat…*
>     Couldn't think about her now.  What was done is done, there's 
>no changing the past.  He had to leave that behind him now.  Had to 
>move on with his life.
>     With what's happened in the past day, and now with the 
>restaurant owner, if Umbrella ever did anything to hurt anyone in 
>the city, he'd get pissed.
>     And nobody wants to see him when he's pissed.
>     *Geez.  She's been so nice to me, and I don't even know her 
>name!  I'll ask her in the morning.  Right now I need to get some 
>sleep.*
>     After a few minutes of tossing and turning, he finally got to 
>sleep.
>
>     "Boss, I'm telling you.  It was HIM!"
>     "Are you sure it was him?" a man in the shadows spoke into a 
>speaker.
>     "Yes.  Positive.  He killed seven of my men and drove off with 
>the truck!"
>     "Ok.  No need to panic.  I'll have another shipment there in 
>the morning."
>     "Very good boss."
>     "Oh, and one more thing Mayori."
>     "Yes boss?"
>     "If you screw up this time, I won't give you time to beg for 
>mercy."
>     "…"
>     "Understood?"
>     "…Yes…boss…"
>     "Good."
>
>     "Morning!"
>     "What?  Where am I?"
>     "You're in my restaurant, remember?"
>     *The owner.  That's right.*
>     "Oh, right, sorry," he said, sitting up.  "What time is it?"
>     "Almost noon."
>     "Where are all the customers?  You ARE open weekends, I'm 
>presuming…"
>     "We are open right now, but nobody's coming in.  During the 
>night, two stranger appeared out of nowhere and started fighting.  
>They've been going all night."  She was looking at his glasses.
>     "Well," he said looking away, "doesn't this city have some kind 
>of martial arts expert that can stop them?"
>     "Well, sort of…" she hesitated.
>     "…but what?"
>     "…but he's not here right now."
>     "Well, where is he?"
>     "He started fighting another guy last night, and I don't know 
>what happened, but to make a long story short, he's in another part 
>of town and hasn't heard about it yet…"  She half smiled.
>     "What do these people who're fighting right now look like?"
>     "I don't really know.  They're fighting in the sky, and they're 
>moving so fast, they just look like streaks of light.  They've 
>already destroyed one building…"
>     "Umbrella…" he muttered.
>     "What?  What did you say?"
>     "Me?  Oh, nothing…Maybe I'll take a look…" he said, and jumped 
>out of bed.  "I just have to go to my car first."
>     "But…"
>
>     *Good, car's still there…*
>     He walked over to his car and opened the trunk.  Inside, he 
>pulled out a brief case.  Inside of it, he took out another pair of 
>sunglasses.  After putting them off, and putting the other pair 
>away, he put the brief case away and locked the trunk.
>     *I hope these work.*
>     He walked over to a tree, climbed to the top of it, then jumped 
>to the roof of a nearby building.  On the roof, he touched his 
>glasses and lenses changed color.  They changed from a black color 
>to a red color.
>     *Let's see…*
>     "Bingo!"
>     Directly above him were two people, in mid air, fighting.
>     *Day-vision glasses…gotta love them.*
>One of the two had on orange color clothes, and the other had on 
>what looked like body armor.  The one with the armor was 
>considerably bigger than the other, but the first seemed to be 
>fighting quiet well.
>     *Holy shit!*
>     The big one had something most people don't…a tail!
>     *Like some kind of monkey tail!  What's Umbrella up to now?*
>     "This is your last chance," the bigger one started, "to join us 
>in taking over this pathetic planet!"
>     "No way Nappa!  We already stopped Raditz, what makes you think 
>I can't stop you!"
>*I'm guessing the one in orange is the good guy…*
>     "HEY!  Looks like we have a visitor!"
>     *Shit!  The big one saw me!*
>     "Leave civilians out of this!" the orange one said.
>     The two were racing toward him.  The big one, Nappa, to try and 
>kill him.  The orange one, to try and save him.
>     *Biggums is going to make it…*
>     "DODONPA!" he shouted, and released a ball of energy.  The 
>energy shot out at the big one.
>     "What is this?  Does everyone do that?" Nappa said, easily 
>dodging out of the way.
>"KAMEHAMEHA!" the orange one shouted, shooting out a beam of energy.
>     "What the he…"
>     The energy beam hit Nappa and he went sailing out of the city.
>     "Thanks for detracting him for me," the orange one said.
>     "…um…right…No problem…"
>     "Nice trick," the orange one said, flying after the big one.
>
>     "What happened?" the owner asked, as he walk in the door.
>     "They left."
>     "What did you do?"
>     "Distract one of them."
>     "…"
>     "Before I forget, and I know I will if I don't ask now, what is 
>your name?  You've been so kind to me, and I don't even know your 
>name…"
>     "Oh, I forgot about that too…My name's Ukyou, and yours?"
>     "Mine?  Oh…um…"
>     "What?  You're not aloud to say it or something?"
>     "No, nothing at all.  It's a long story…"
>     He motioned for her to sit down.  She did.  He then spent the 
>next hour or so explaining to her about his past.  Most of it 
>anyway.  He told her how his 'father' had found him on the street.  
>How he worked hard educating himself, and how his ex-father betrayed 
>him by trying to make him work for his company.  He didn't say which 
>company, or what they did, but all he said was that it "wasn't 
>nice".  She seemed to realize that bringing it up latter won't be a 
>good idea, and that was good.
>     *The less she knows, the better.  The less anyone knows, the 
>better.*
>     After reopening the restaurant, he agreed to stay in Nerima for 
>at lest one more day.
>     For the rest of that day, he loaded his car up with all the 
>needed supplies, and then helped Ukyou out in her restaurant.
>     "Ok, who gets this order?" he called out.
>     "ME!" came a shout from the back of the restaurant.
>
>     That night, he once again slept on the couch, and Ukyou slept 
>upstairs.
>     At 11:45 that night, there was a knock at the door.
>
>     "Finally!  Nerima!  Back home!"  Ryoko arrived back home in 
>Nerima at about 11:39, and decided to go see Ukyou first thing.
>     *Maybe I'll surprises her…*
>     Ryoko got up to the door and started looking for a key.
>     *Darn.  I left it here.  That's right.  I guess I'll have to 
>knock.*
>     Knock!
>     Knock!
>
>     *Who could that be?*
>     He sat up in the couch and thought for a second.
>     *Did Ukyou here that?  No, she didn't.  Should I wake her?  No, 
>I don't want to do that.  I'll just answer the door and see who it 
>is…*
>     He froze.
>     *Did Umbrella follow me here?  Shit, I hope not…*
>
>     *Maybe I didn't knock hard enough.  She must be asleep.*
>     Ryoko put her hand up to knock again, but the door opened and 
>her hand hit the air.
>     *SHIT!*
>     In the door was a man dressed all in black, pointing a handgun 
>at her.
>     She let out a little shriek.
>     *Oneechan!  What did he do to her!*
>     Without another though, Ryoko quickly moved to the left of the 
>man and kicked his hand before he could react, his gun flying across 
>the room.
>     *Good, now this'll be easy!*
>     Ryoko whipped out her yo-yo and sent it flying toward the man, 
>almost hitting him.  He moved out of the way easily and out of 
>nowhere, pulled out a knife of some kind and cut the string.
>     *My yo-yo!*
>     To Ryoko's surprise, the man dropped the knife.
>
>     *Why'd Umbrella send a female after me?  To try and trick me!  
>I don't need a knife to beat her…*
>     He dropped the knife.
>     "Who sent you?" he said.
>     "What?" the girl asked, looking almost totally surprised by the 
>question.
>     *At lest this time they pick a good liar.*
>     "Who sent you!" he yelled.
>     "What are you talking about?" she asked.
>     "YOU!" came a shout from the door.
>     "Ryouga!" the girl said, sounding glad.
>     "What are you doing here?!" the man at the door asked.
>     "He was pointing a gun at me…" the girl said.
>     *Great, Umbrella sent two of them…*
>"I don't have time to waste with Umbrella spies like you!" he said, 
>then jumped at the man at the door.
>
>     "Ryouga!" Ryoko shouted.  The man in black had jump kicked him, 
>and sent Ryouga falling outside.  Without thinking about it, Ryoko 
>jumped at the man and pinned him to the ground.  Ryouga got up and 
>picked the man up.
>     "Who…"  Ryouga was silenced when the man shot a ball of energy 
>at Ryouga's leg.  Ryouga dropped him, and then the man back flipped 
>to the door of the restaurant, readying another ki attack.
>     "What's going on out there?!" Ryoko heard from within.
>     "Ukyou!  Stay inside!  It's two Umbrella assassins!" the man in 
>black shouted into the restaurant.
>     * Oneechan!*
