Author's Notes: All right! After being lost for a couple years (!) I've finally retyped the begining of the sequel to Kage no Mai. The first chapter is heavy on plot light on lemon so if that's all you're after skip to the second chapter. However if you're in the mood for some build-up and would like a bit of continuity and don't mind someone who's sick to death of the old "good guy vs bad guy" routine then read on.

To take care of all legal problems 1) This is a fan fiction done without the permission of the companies who hold the trademarks on the various characters within. Post wherever you like as long as it's free and you don't claim that you wrote it. 2) As this is a lemon fan fiction it contains subject matter inappropriate for those under the age of 18 or easily offended. Andy fans might be a little dissapointed as well...

Right, now that's out of the way. On with the fan fic.

"I love the way you move me it's never enough I've got to have you, anytime/anywhere that's all"

Anytime/Anywhere, Queensryche

The light in the room was diluted, but the day was still bright enough to wake her. The young woman opened her deep brown eyes languidly and brushed her long red hair from her face. Though she was still recovering from the amount of sake she had put away the night before and most of the previous night was a haze, Shiranui Mai could still remember certain details clearly. She rolled to her side and smiled at the most vivid of these.

Sleeping more peacefully than he had in years Shinomori Aoshi lay on his side with one arm around her. Mai reached out and gently touched his face. The heat she had felt from him was still there, subdued but never extinguished. Her fingers softly traced to his mouth as she remembered the tenderness of his lips. Her hand glided along the surface of his well muscled chest.

A puzzeled expression flitted across her face and Mai pulled the sheet past his shoulder. A low breath of surprise escaped the kunoichi's lips. Scars criscrossed Aoshi's chest, from shoulder to shoulder, starting from just below his collarbone to above his hip. Her hand lightly traced the ridges of the wounds. The red haired young woman brushed her fingertips across his side to the man's back. There too she could feel the mars in his skin.

It was then she realized how little she actually knew of him. He had been her friend back when they were children. Aoshi had studied under her grandfather just as Andy had. Mai would have never guessed he cared for her as much as he apparently did. Where had he been to receive all these wounds? Why had he left without warning all those years ago? Why had he said that he loved her? Though she had been too tired to respond, Mai had heard his whispered promise to her the night before and smiled in the memory.

It would be easy, she thought, to lose herself in him. To commit herself only to a future with him and to forget the past. With a smile Mai nestled closer and kissed Aoshi on the mouth. He stirred and returned the smile, though he still slept. Her expression taking on a mischevious angle, the red haired young woman shifted her lips attention lower, first to his neck, then the skin of his chest. Her nibbling kisses caused a pleased sigh from Aoshi and Mai grinned outright at it. She moved her hand down and began stroking the inside of his thigh. Aoshi's black eyes flickered open at this.

At first he only blinked as if he couldn't believe that she was actually there, then a rare wide smile crossed his features.

"Ohayio gozai masu! (Good morning!)" Mai whispered her smile growing even wider.

"Ohaiyo, watashi no aijin. (Morning, my love)" he answered just as quietly. The kunoichi wrapped her arms around his neck and their lips met passionately. Without warning or breaking their kiss Mai rolled him to his back. After continuing for as long as they could both ninja slowly withdrew. Mai was still smiling mischeviously.

"I remember all your teasing last night, so it's only fair that I get you back!" she declared sitting up and causing her generous chest to bounce slightly. Aoshi sighed in mock ruefullness.

"If you must..." he trailed off holding his arms to the side in a gesture of surrender. The kunoichi grinned and lowered herself to where the tips of her nipples almost touched his chest.

"Oh I don't have to," she giggled. "I just want to!" With that the red haired girl put her hands on Aoshi's shoulders and began lightly kissing his throat, her beasts trailing against the muscle of his body as she moved downward. The black haired man gripped the sheets of his bed and forced himself not to wrap the girl in his arms again. However other reactions were not so easily disuaded.

Mai felt the tip of her lover's erection brush the inside of her thigh and paused in her attentions long enough to grin with satisfaction. Her hands lightly caressed the skin of Aoshi's pectoral's, dragging her nails gently across the man's nipples. At his abdomen the red haired girl began flicking her tongue across his skin, eliciting souds that were half sigh of pleasure half growl of lust.

Without touching Aoshi's manhood with her hands Mai kissed it lightly, then tortusouly slow drew the tip of her tongue along th underside to the base. Her eyes went upwards and she was rewarded by the sight of Aoshi's eyes shut tight and jaw clenched tight with delectation. She repeated her teaseing twice more each time pressing more of her mouth around his penis.

The Oniwabanshu ninja was doing everything he could to stay still. Even though he had enjoyed his time with a very few other girls, he had viewed it more as training for when he would be with Mai. Nothing had prepared him for the intensity of her hot, wet, mouth enfolding the length of his cock. The night before seemed like a dream compared to now.

Mai brought both hands down Aoshi's stomach and gently stroked the inside of his thigh with one while the other brought his manhood vertical and ran her mouth up down the sides, keeping her tongue in constant contact with the smooth sensitive skin. The ninja was begininng to pant and sweat with the exertion of keeping himself contained. Mai's attentions was rapidly bringing him past where his self control could manage.

The without warning she stopped. Aoshi's eye's sprang open and he looked down at her wildly. The red haired girl was sitting back on the bed, supporting herself with one hand and sucking on two fingersof her other, with a look in her eyes that the black haired man could not define. Mai moved her legs apart and revealed the expanse of her gorgeous body to him. Then she removed both fingers from her slowly reached down spread the folds of her labia open. It bacame obvious then that the red haired girl was already very wet. Needing no further impetus Aoshi was across the small distance between them and in between her thighs in a blink.

He slipped one hand behind her head and pulled her into a fierce kiss, while caressing the expanse of her chest with the other. Mai closed her eyes and cupped his face while reaching down and finding his shaft, still damp with her saliva. They moved slowly, precisely, she leaning back and guiding him, while lowered himself carefully down. When the tip of his erection touched the folds of sex Aoshi opened his eyes and withdrew from the kiss.

Mai met his gaze their eyes locking as they gazed into each other. Then Aoshi moved forwad and penetrated her. The red haired kunoichi's eyes widened and her breath caught in her throat as her inner walls stretched and he filled her. She wrapped both arms and legs around her lover and moved her lips to his ear.

"A... Aoshi... oh! Onegai... onegai...ooo... o.... oka... shite... ah!" (Please... please... fuck... me)

The shinobi nearly came in her right then. With a growl he bit her neck lightly and began moving inside her. Mai threw her head back, eyes wide, and cried out in ecstasy. Clutched him tightly, with arms legs and inner muscles as well, throwing her hips up to meet his thrusts. Her mouth opened and closed reflexively until she began whispering "okashite" over and over again.

Aoshi felt his body tingle every time he heard her voice. He kissed his way her neck and found her ear. Running his tongue along the outside of it the ninja growled one word to the young woman.

"Louder."

Mai shuddered and complied, her voice rising in volume with every thrust. She was soon chanting it like a mantra.

"Fuck me! Oh yes... yes! Fuck...me!"

Aoshi felt the pleasure swell in him and course through his blood. Her voice the taste of her sweat coated skin, her smell of arousal, the indescribable feel of heat surrounding his manhood, it quickly grew to be far too much him.

The two men strode through the Beijing airport with a steady, smoothly unstoppable pace. Though both were regarded with hostility by the people around them, no one even considered hindering them. Terry Bogard, now positive that something had happened to his brother, was radiating an aura of power that anyone could feel. As for Ryu, he was just Ryu, no one ever got in his way.

The blond haired man first swung toward an international phone. He dropped his duffel bag to the floor and opened it it in one practiced motion. After a moment of digging the Amereican withdrew a lightly battered piece of paper and a green phone card. He plugged the card in and waited. Once the machine gave him a dial tone he dialed the number of Joe Higashi.

After a much longer pause he heard a buzz that was the Thai Boxer's cel phone ringing. It was picked up instantly.

"Terry? That you?" came Joe's desperate voice.

"Joe, what's happened to Andy?" the blond man said as evenly as he could.

"How did you . . . never mind, I don't wanna know. Anyway Andy's in bad shape! He's going to live but he's in a coma and the docs have no idea why!"

Terry restrained a growl of anger. "Can you get us to Japan, Joe?"

"Sure no pro-. . . us?"

"There's a friend coming with me, he's said he'll help us. Name's Ryu."

There was a slight pause.

"Whoa, do you mean THE Ryu?" came a slightly awed Joe Higashi's voice.

The American shook his head slightly. "Yes Joe."

"Whoa. But yeah, check the Japan Airlines counter in about an hour, I'll take care of everything!"

"Thanks a lot my friend." Terry said with quiet sincerity.

"Hey, you guys are the only family I've got, I gotta look out for you!" the Thai boxer answered wirly. "See you when you get here."

Terry hung up and turned to the patiently waiting Shotokan master.

"We're going?" Ryu asked simply.

The blond man nodded his long haired head once. "There's a storm gathering, and we're going into the face of it!"

More to come soon!

Despite the fact that she was baring her innermost loves and shames to an almost complete stranger, Mai couldn't remember the last time she felt so relaxed. Kasumi's gentle fingers ran through her hair and massaged her scalp and her neck thoroughly. The entire time the younger kunoichi worked Mai talked. She told about when she was just a child and Andy had seemed so exotic, about a barely remembered rivalry between Andy and Aoshi. How she had traveled and fought with Andy and his brother, all the time trying to get his attention. About New Years, her birthday, Andy's unwillingness to unwind, and Aoshi's sudden reappearance. Mai even told about Billy Kane and King. The last part hurt still, but the pain was dull and distant. As she finished Kasumi who had been silent the entire time started rinsing her hair.

"So there you are. I guess you think I'm a pretty terrible person now huh?"

Kasumi didn't answer right away. She finished with Mai's hair then wrapped it in a towel laying Mai's head on her lap. Then the young kunoichi bent down and kissed Mai on the forehead. Kasumi looked into the other girls widened eyes.

"Why do you say that? I think you are a strong and compassionate person, who has forgotten to forgive the one person who deserves it."

Mai's eyes were still wide with surprise from the kiss. As what Kasumi had said slowly sank in the younger girl finished the thought.

"Yourself."

Before Mai could react to that Kasumi sat her up and picked up a comb and started running it through Mai's long hair.

Part of Mai wanted to believe what Kasumi had said but most of her couldn't accept it. She was to entrenched in the belief that she was in the wrong. "But what about all the awful things I've done? I couldn't stay loyal to Andy how will Aoshi be any different? I'll just betray him too."

Kasumi gathered the older girls hair into it's customary style and fixed Mai's hairpiece then she put one hand at the base of Mai's neck and cupped her cheek with the other, turning Mai so they were face to face.

"Believe what I say. What happened was not your fault. If your body reacted one way, it's obvious your heart felt something different."

Mai looked into the other girls face almost tearfully.

"But whenever I start to feel, good I feel like I'm betraying someone, that I don't deserve..." Mai trailed off unable to complete the sentence. Kasumi looked at her for just a moment more then leaned forward and kissed Mai softly on the lips. The older girl widened her eyes then slowly closed them. After a little while Kasumi broke the kiss.

"What about now?" she asked breathily. Mai left her eyes closed and shook her head.

"No. Why don't we try it again to make sure."

Kasumi didn't answer with words.

Joe closed the phone and ran towards his car. Ryu opened his eyes and looked towards the rapidly moving Thai boxer. Joe remembered some and slowed down to yell over his shoulder.

"Ryu tell Terry I'm headed back into Tokyo I'll send a car to pick you guys up. And what's Ken's phone number?"

Somewhat puzzled Ryu told him.

"Thanks, later!"

Joe slammed into his car, started it and tore huge divots in the dojo's dirt driveway as he accelerated off. After talking to Richard Myer Joe had thought of something. Blue Mary was involved one way or another. Maybe she just saw what happened, maybe she was part of it, either way Joe wanted to talk to her without Terry. The guy was useless where she was concerned. A quick call to a computer orientated friend had revealed another suspicion. Blue Mary was licensed to carry a firearm, all such foreigners that entered Japan were required to have themselves registered with the local police of wherever they were staying. Joe's friend had retrieved Mary's file in short order, however someone else had accessed the system soon after Joe's friend had and he had only been able to copy part of Mary's address. However it was enough to narrow her down to one of two hotels. Joe had a nasty feeling he knew who else had hacked into the police mainframe.

He shifted higher as he swung around a large truck, then started dialing with one hand the number Ryu had told him. Trying to call international while doing 170 kilometers per hour wasn't the safest thing to do but Joe had never really cared about such trivialities. The two hotels Mary could be staying were located, quite conveniently, right next to the two largest airports in Tokyo, Haneda, and Narita.

"Hello?" came a tired sounding Ken Masters.

"Ken Masters? This is sort of a friend of Ryu's."

"Oh. Hello, who are you?"

"I'm Joe Higashi. Listen I don't have much time, what airport are you arriving in?"

"Uh, Haneda I think."

"Great. Look, do us both a favor and check into the Imperial Circle hotel. There's one right next to Haneda and with any luck Ryu 'n Terry'll be there. Thanks 'bye." Joe hung up the phone and floored the already speeding car. He was going so fast he nearly missed the exit that would take him to the side of the city Narita International airport was on.

Haybusa Ryu cursed quietly to himself as he disconnected from the Net.

"What's wrong?" asked Aoshi.

"Someone else was already accessing the same file. I was only able to copy part of this Blue Mary's address before Tokyo Metro caught on."

"Well what did you get?" asked Eiji.

"She's at the Imperial Circle. There are only two of them in Tokyo, one at each airport."

"Very well." said Aoshi. "Ryu you and Kage take the Haneda one. Eiji you'll have too take the Narita hotel."

The other shinobi nodded and started heading for the door. Kage turned to Aoshi. "So what will you be doing while we're tracking down this Blue Mary?"

"Trying to find out where our opponents are. I'll meet up with you as soon as I can. Oh and gentlemen..." Aoshi began. The three ninja turned to face him. "If by chance you meet any of my adversary's, try not to kill them. We're just trying to delay them until I meet with Terry Bogard, not kill Mai's friends."

Ryu and Eiji nodded in ascent, while Kage's face fell. As he turned toward the door he grumbled under his breath. "I don't think that'll be a problem. Them killing me is another matter entirely!"
