January 15th. 1999.

Yaguchi parked outside the Ayashi Catering Company at 6'o clock in the morning and padlocked his moped. He's the one who always gets in first and starts writing down the day-to-day schedule. In his mind, the memory of the last day was still spinning. He felt that he had a new power and that his life was back in the right track.

When he got to the office, he started the paperwork. He heard the workers came in and changed. That's when he had a chance to hear the rumors. He always pretended to be deaf, but he knew everything with that. Apparently, there's a new worker coming today. He didn't like new employees much, because most of them go before their probation expires. Yaguchi sighed, when he see the clock. It was time for the meeting to tell people what is the job. Everyone greeted him with a smile. „ Hi, everyone! Today will take place in the usual course. No one reported sick today, so even the headcount is adequate. Other questions?" That's when the new worker arrived, who, according to her business card, her name is Shiori Kurumu, and she's mute, or at least that's what the tag sign said. „Guys! Meet your new colleague, Shiori." She shook hands with everyone, then went to get dressed. Yaguchi cleared his throat to silence the whispering company. „Well, that's it. Let's get to work." He knew that for the first time he had to show the Rookie around and assign him a relatively easy task. He mustn't throw him into the deep end on the first day. When she got out, Yaguchi had a chance to take a closer look. A little shorter, purple eyes with almond cut and a long, braided hair woman put on the mask with a smile. „Ready? Then come and I'll guide you around the building." She put her hand up and handed him a piece of paper. Yaguchi opened it and read. He was surprised. That's what it said: „Hi. The woman, who come to work is a new colleauge, is Oono, but in disguise. I know it's a big suprise, but it feels like she can't be without you for a minute. Also, she don't want to sit in one place, saying that doesn't help the current situation. I'm asking you to act natural and not tell anyone who the new member really is. Sincerely: Sir Daniel Michael Fortesque." Yaguchi folded the letter and put it in his pocket and looked at her. „You're full of surprises. Then let's go."

The tour took half an hour. They had to resist not holding hands. When it was over, one of the workers ran to Yaguchi. „Hey, boss. the truck from interbank came to pick up Friday's batch." „Thanks for the info, Ushio. Then, my dear Shiori, here's your first assignment. Help me pack." She just nodded and went to help. Yaguchi was monitoring his performance, which surprised him. She put the boxes in the truck professionally and took two at a time. The other two people, who in charge of packing, all excited about this, followes Shiori's example. So, they filled the truck pretty quick. Yaguchi filed the papers and handed them to the driver. By breakfast, four more trucks were loaded, essentially emptying the warehouse. Shiori's packing performance has already been praised. After the half-hour break went down, the she's job became to help the production line. Yaguchi didn't have to worry because she quickly adapted to the situation. By the time the afternoon shift came in, he gave me the information quickly and went to change shortly after the day shift. When the cloth change is finished and got out, shiori was expecting him. „You took quite a risk coming to work, don't you think, Oono?" Ask Yaguchi silently. She just hugged him, saying she doesn't care as long as he's with her. He felt the care. After getting to the moped, he took out a spare helmet and gave it to her. „Would you like to come to Maru Miye Arcade and play?" Yaguchi asked. The answer gave itself. She took off the wig and put the protective gear on her head. He start the moped and waited for Oono.

Upon entering the arcade, our heroes saw a person they would have never be seen. Raptor, suffering a Tekken 3 machine. Why? His opponent, with Hwoarang, kept squeezing him, and repeated only one combo over and over again, which kept Bryan at bay, making him impossible to strike. „Fuck you, cocksucker!" He shouted now completely pissed. „Is that all you got?" „You deserve it, you bastard! After you say Hidaka is a bitch, this is the least punishment!" His opponent shouted from the other side of the cabinet. Yaguchi knew this situation. When he hurt Hidaka feelings, they treated him the same way. It is true that after the clarification was made, they was apologised to him, but that was not the case here. Raptor committed a much bigger crime the Tournament, and he didn't think it would cost him that much. By the time he lost, he stood up by pushing the chair two meters away and standing in front of Hidaka. „You spat, you torn slut? Can't you lose?!" Raptor was screaming about a foot from her face. Yaguchi pushed him away and stood between them. „Stop this attitude right now and apologize." Yaguchi said firmly, which was only good for a Raptor to hit him. Fortunately, Oono was faster and slapped his face with full force. „How dare you?" He grumbled and tried to strike back, but a walking stick snapped on his hand. It was felicia. „Now you're gonna stop and listen." she said quietly, by the time three guys joined to protect the leader of Mizonokuchi Force. „I was the one who gave them the information. I was at the tournament to watch, and I saw what you did. What you did this weekend, you pissed me off and the whole gang of Mizonokuchi Force. Until you're on your knees begging for Hidaka's forgiveness, you're never playing here. So what are you gonna do? get on your knees and beg, or pack your shit and never come back here again?" For thirty seconds, he didn't seem to understand what she was saying. In fact, he was shaking with rage. His pride didn't allow him to rely on his common sense. „Me? Apologize? I won't take it from someone I beat. Die, you damn witch! Raptor is nobody's bitch!" „Not even your common sense, I see. Then, fuck off." Felicia said cynically, while she was messing with her dress's kitty ears. Raptor tried to hit her, but a heavy hand grabbed his fist. The palm owner belonged to the biggest and muscularest player in the arcade, known only as Zangief. He is professional wrestler and fresh member from the Japanese Wrestling Federation aka JWF. He was actually kindhearted, but if he was upset, running is the most effective method if you want to live. As for the current situation, escape is ruled out for the big mouthed bastard. „Do you have the nerve to try hit our Mistress, you maggot?" Zangief asked softly, but his voice made a sound of rage. „What business is it of yours what I do, you two-door closet?" Raptor moaned back, making the situation worse, if possible. Zangief took Raptor outside the arcade and cut him upside down in a pile of garbage. „I put you where you are. and now listen carefully, because I'll only tell you once. If I see you in the room again, I won't treat you as softly as I do now" Everyone watched what happened and applauded Zangief. Daniel just got here. „Did I miss something?" Asked Daniel to Yaguchi.

He was subsequently reported with a glass of coffee. Daniel laughed when yaguchi finished the story. „That's what I call one old quote. Karma is a bitch." said he, after tears have been shed. „ I never understood why such a jerk would not realize that with its attitude it would never prevail in life?" Oono, who was now hiding with Yaguchi, raised her hands and said with her eyes that he was not very interested in it. „By the way, one question. Were you surprised that this beauty was disguised and started working for you?" Asked daniel with interest. „Yes. I'm surprised, but I'm glad. We have a lot of time to catch up on." Then what are you waiting for? You can take off your disguise here, Akira. There's no way any of us parents are here."

Yaguchi and Oono played together until 5:00 p.m. During that time, the two of them did not seem to have the same game skills, even though she was out of the game for at least two years. In the meantime, Hidaka gave them the information about the Street Fighter Alpha 3 Championship. Instead of the end of February, it will be on the first Saturday in March and the sponsor will give the winner a quarter of a million yen and the opportunity to appear in the nintendo power interview. Yaguchi left his girlfriend with a big kiss at the end of the day and drove home as he had harley davidson, not a moped. In his mind, Guile spoke. „Great progress, Yaguchi. Now your goal is never to lose Oono. You must fight together to the end, overcome all obstacles that are harder day by day." He smiled as he came home. „I'm not gonna give up. I never did."

At this point, none of them knew that the parents had heard about Daniel and Akira's plan. Soon things will be going up.
