This is an old fanfic I wrote when I was 17 years old. I was thinking about trying to write again, but now that I have some college education I think I might be able to write better this time. But, here is the old stuff. Enjoy ^_^

----------------------------------------------------------------------
It wasn't easy getting over the fact that she was gone. What had
happened up to that point didn't even feel real. She was gone for
good, like Lily. Why..why me? Everything was calm now. No more God
of Mars. No more Laocorn. We all got out alive..almost all of us any-
way.
It's been a few months now. Andy and Mai haven't been seen much
of lately. We all decided to buy a rundown dojo at the edge of town.
Basically to stay in and meet at. Mai insisted on naming it after her
Grandfathers and named it the Shiranui Dojo. All well..you know how
woman can get. I wouldn't doubt someone's gonna end up trashing it
by next year..Figures. Joe's back in Thailand defending his title, yea
you guessed right. And me? Well...I haven't done much since I lost
Sulia..Just been comin to the Pao Pao every other night..
"Hey Richard, get me the usual will ya?" A few shots of whiskey
always did make that sense of failure go away. I doubt I'll ever quit
drinkin, it's the only thing that helps these days ya know? Anyway..It
doesn't really matter to me if I'm a drunk.. Not much to fight for
anyway.
"Here ya go Bogard." Richard poured me a shot and left the bottle,
he always did catch on fast. I took down my shot.
"Hey Meyer, mind getting me a tequilla?"
"Comin' right up Mary."
It was a females voice..and it came from a few seats down from me.
I wasn't really interested, but the name Mary sounded cute. I glanced
towards her from the corner of my eyes at first, but then I caught a
glimpse of a beautiful smile and blonde hair. I turned my head to
look, I couldn't believe it. This woman wasn't a local..couldn't be.
Geez..have I kept my sights down that long? Then I realized she
was looking at me. I could feel a light blush of embarrasment hit
my cheeks, the whiskey wasn't helping..
"Hey there handsome." Her voice was sweet. I glanced her up and
down and found her pretty attractive. She wore a red top which accent-
ed her bust, blue pants, leather boots, and fighting gloves. Hmm.. a
figher eh?
"Hey..." I took another shot, trying to be casual. Wait a
minute, she said I was handsome.
I moved my sights towards her again, she was taking a drink from
her tequilla then glanced over at me with a wink. Okay. She winked
at me. What's that suppose to mean? I shrugged and shook my head a
little confused, then poured myself another shot of whiskey. After I
downed it, I looked to the side towards Mary and noticed that she
wasn't there any longer. I spotted her heading for the door.
I could have had her. All well. I don't need another female
to die on me. No way. I leaned my elbows onto the bar and stared at
my whiskey bottle.
"Hey Bogard. Don't just sit there. She was asking about you. If
you haven't already caught on, her name's Mary." I looked up at him
and he gestured his head towards the door.
"You actually think I'm gonna get up and go chase after her? I'm
too old for that stuff." I picked up my shot glass.
"Listen Bogard, you've been comin here almost every night wastin
away.. If you don't go after her I'll kick you out."
"Well I uh...you wouldn't Meyer. You're just pullin' my leg."
"Move it Bogard. Now."
"Okay. Okay. Don't get pushy, I'm goin'.." I gathered my stuff
and left Richard my pay, then headed for the door.
What a drag.. I got kicked out of the Pao Pao because of
this Mary woman. I have no choice but to check her out now. I stepped
out the door and noticed she hadn't gone far. She was leaning up
against a blue motorcyle, looking at the stars.
"Hey there." I didn't know what to say to her.
"Hello.." She turned around with a gentle look on her face.
She had the prettiest face. Blue eyes, smooth skin, pink lips.
She was so mysterious. I'd better watch my back, just in case.
"Uh.. you a fighter?" I gestured towards her gloves with my
eyes. She looked at her gloves then looked at me tighting one.
"Yeah. You are too right?" I blinked, then realized I had my
gloves on as well. Forgot to take them off.
"Uh. Yeah..I do a little fighting once in a while." Okay..so
I was a little modest, who cares?
She turned around and faced me. Placing a hand on her hip, she
put the other one out towards me.
"My name's Mary Ryan..but people know me as Blue Mary." I looked
a little suprised. How did she get the nick Blue Mary? This might be
worth checkin out.
"Um hi my name's Terry, Terry Bogard I mean." Great stupid, you
studder now. Damn whiskey. I shook her hand politely.
"Ah.. Terry Bogard is it? I've heard about you before. You
shouldn't be so modest about your figting."
"Well I uh..um." That caught me off guard. What did Richard
tell her? Probably not much. From the looks of her she probably
heard from someone else.
I was silent for several seconds..what to say what to say.. Is
she waiting for an answer? I looked at her and yes...she was. Her
arms were folded under her bustline, waiting patiently. I gave a
slight smile rubbing the back of my neck with my hand.
"Well uh yeah I might not give myself the credit I deserve..So
what about you Miss Mary, do much fightin' yourself?" Ahh.. the
subject was off of me.
"I do enough to survive is all." Hmm.. that's a pretty good
answer. Maybe I should invite her to the dojo. It'd be a little better
scenery then in front of the Pao Pao.
"Hey, my ahh..friends and I have a dojo on the edge of town.
Would you..like to go?"
"Sure sounds a lot better than right here in front of the Pao
Pao..Yeah, I'd like to go."
Whew.. great. She want's to go. I hope Joe cleaned up a bit
before he left for Thailand. Man..knowing him he probably hasn't left
yet. We'll just sit on the porch I guess.
"Okay sounds like a plan to me. Is that your bike?" She nodded
with a bright smile, running her fingers softly over the black leather
seat then patting it.
"Yup, my pride and joy. I love this bike."
"Mind if I take it for a spin?"
"Go for it."
She gave me a thumbs up and I kinda laughed. This Mary girl was
really confident, I liked that. I got on the bike, man it was nice.
It looked brand new, everything polished and well taken care of. I'm
gonna have to show her mine when we get to the dojo.
"Hop on Miss Mary, I'll take us to the dojo." She got onto the
back and wrapped her arms around my waist. It kinda made me grin.
"If it makes you feel better you can call me Mary."
"Okay, Mary." My smile widdened then I started the bike and sped
off to the dojo.
The night breeze was nice and cool. No clouds really. You could
see the stars. Mary held on the whole way, she really didn't have to.
It was nice though. I told her to hold on tight 'cause I was gonna
open her up. She laughed and tightened her grip. I glanced back at
and she looked happy. A bright smile on her face with a content look
in her eyes.
Before we both knew it, we were at the dojo. The ride didn't
seem that long. I pulled up to the front of the dojo. Since it was
out on the edge of town there was more vegetation and trees. You
could smell the difference between the city air and here.
"Here we are Mary."
"Wow.. what an awesome location."
She got off the bike then started glancing around. I kicked the
kick stand down and got off the bike as well, turning the engine off
and handing her the keys. She eccepted them gently, placing them in
her coat pocket.
"It was run down before we bought it. All of us had to fix it up
before we could stay in it." It took us about four months before it had
plumbing even. We all had fun though..
"All of us..? You mean your friends right?" She looked a little
confused. Man. I didn't tell her about the pack yet..
"Yeah, Andy, Joe, Mai, and myself." I gave a soft grin.
"Mai..? That name sounds awfully familiar.. Mai what?"
"Mai Shiranui, do you know her or somethin'?"
"Now I remember! We met in the ring at a tournament awhile back.
She's a pretty good fighter."
"Yeah. She trained under her grandfather Hanso Shiranui in Japan.
That's where Andy met her I guess." Hmm.. She's met Mai before. I
wonder how they would react if they both seen each other again. I'm
sure we'd find out who won if they did..
"So where is everyone now?"
"Oh..just off training I guess. I haven't seen Andy and Mai for
two months now." Mai is probably clinging to Andy's arm as we speak.
"Uh huh.. And what about you Terry?"
"What about me?" I lifted a brow.
"Why aren't you training.." She laughed under her breath.
"Oh uhh.." I looked down and paused for a second. Sulia's death
had really gotten to me I guess.. was it that noticable?
"Come on.." I led her into the dojo. Didn't even care if it was
clean or not. I just sat down on the couch and she sat down next to
me looking a little suprised.
"So uh.. what brings you to Southtown 'Blue Mary'?"
"I uhh.. I use to work for the Southtown Investigation Bureau.
I was a detective."
"Ah.. the S.I.B. huh? You say you 'use' to work for them?"
"Yeah.. I worked for them for six years but then I decided to
quit."
"Hmm.. that's pretty interesting. So you just decided to stay
in Southtown or something?" That's funny.. if she still lived here
I would have noticed her by now.. Maybe she doesn't live here anymore.
"No, I went off for awhile. I came back just to visit is all.."
She seemed like she didn't really wanna talk about it. I decided
to ask her about her cute nick 'Blue Mary.' I moved my gaze to her
"Blue Mary.. that's a pretty interesting nick ya got there, did you
get it when you were working for the S.I.B. or something?" I hope she
didn't mind me asking..
She looked up at me with a soft look. She then smiled and looked
away again.
"Oh, a friend gave it to me, and it just stuck, I guess...."
Hmm.. a friend eh? All well. I guess I'll learn a little more
about it later. Guess it's my turn. Here goes..
"Well.. I guess you wanna hear about why I'm here eh? Alright.."
I sat back in the couch and took my hat off, setting it aside.
"It all started when I was about ten. My little brother and I
were with a good friend of my fathers named Tung Fu Rue. He was my
fathers martial arts master. A man named Geese had grown up with my
father and learned the same techniques from Master Tung.."
I hadn't noticed but she became very silent and had a blank look
on her face.. I decided to continue placing my hands behind my head
looking up at the ceiling.
"Master Tung decided to teach my father the final technique
instead of Geese..
"Long story short. Geese killed my father and tried to get the
final technique. Andy and I had to go out on our own in order to
avenge our father. About ten years later, we came back to Southtown.
I met a girl named Lily.. who was unfortunately working for Geese. She
tried to save myself and the others from him, but Geese ended up
killing her.." I stopped then took in a deep breath and went on.
"I ended up avenging my father and learned the final technique
from Master Tung before he died. One of Geese's henchman had wounded
him fataly. After it was all over. Joe, Andy, and myself went our
seperate ways.
I took a long sigh and looked at the wall acrost me for a minute,
wondering if I should go any further with my story.. Glancing over at
her I realized she was still listening. I continued.
"About six months later I ran into Wolfgang Krauser.. one of the
toughest fighters I ever fought. Thanks to my friends, I ended up
beating him. Joe had gotten badly enjured though. That's where him
and I were introduced to Mai. Andy never talked about her before. But
we all caught on that she had it really bad for him. Uhm.. Mary?"
"Yeah?"
Before I could thank her for listening Joe came threw the door
in a rush, suprising us both.
"Joe..? What's the matter?" That's funny.. he didn't leave for
Thailand yet..
"Terry, It's Mai! Yamazaki kidnapped her and Andy's missing!"
Oh no.. Mai? Yamazaki? Why in the hell would he kidnap her?
That crazy bastard. I wonder if Andy knows. I stood up and walked over
to Joe trying to calm him down.
"Calm down Joe. Tell me what happened."
"I got a letter today saying that Yamazaki had Mai. It was
totally weird Terry. I went to call the Shiranui dojo to see if Master
Hanso new anything about it and there was no answer."
"Does Andy know?"
"Yeah. I managed to get a hold of him while he was in China and
he said he wants to meet us in Japan."
"Terry..?" Mary's voice sounded concerned, I turned and looked at
her.
"Terry I wanna help."
"Mary.. I don't know if you should get.." Joe couldn't help but
to butt in.
"Terry, who's she? We don't have anytime for girl scout volunteering
you know.."
I looked at Joe then turned to Mary. She was a fighter. She knew
Mai too. I don't know much about her.. but I think maybe it would
be a good idea to have any help we can get.
"Alright Mary. Joe, there isn't much we can do right now. We'll
leave in the morning." I turned to Mary picking up my hat and placing
it on my head, "I hope you're sure about this Mary. Yamazaki's a dangerous
man and crazy at that."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Besides, I wan't to help Mai and it's
obvious you guys are gonna need all the help you can get." She gave a
soft reasuring smile. I'll have to thank her later for her support.
"We better get some rest before dawn. Joe, you and I can sleep in
the living room. Mary, the guest room is through there. Night everyone."
What does Yamazaki want with Mai? I dunno.. but I better keep an eye
on Mary just incase. It'll be good to see Andy too. Well.. I'll see
this storm through no matter what.
Coming up next..
Part Two: Once in a Blue Moon, It's a Date!.
Blue Mary wants to go and help Terry find Mai and Andy. Will Terry let
her? Or is Mary going to go without his concern? Be sure to read
this next fic to find out!
