"Today you shall taste defeat Sakura!"

Karin's voice was disrupted by the sound of the heavy rain but nonetheless crystal clear. Sakura took a deep breath before she assumes her stance. Karin casually does the same while wearing a smug look on her face.

'Sakura… today you shall know the power of a Kanzuki!'

Without hesitation Karin charged towards Sakura initiating the fight with multiple punches which Sakura dodged and blocked without sweat. Sakura always knew Karin's weakness that is her lack of defensive instincts due to her rarely gotten hit at all when fighting mediocre opponents.

"What's the matter Sakura? Trying to find an opening in my defence? Attack me!"

Sakura did not have the chance to counterattack mainly due to the fact Karin was hitting hard and fast. Sakura was also not used to fighting in the rain whereas Karin actually trained fighting in various conditions including rain. The two fighters traded several punches and kicks for a several minutes. Sakura finally had the chance to distance herself after successfully landing a Shouoken on Karin, making her fall on her face.

'Ouch, that hurt!' Karin thought.

'I can't lose like this! I must finish this fight to the end!'

Sakura launches a Hadoken which Karin dodges and was out of sight for an instant. Sakura lost vision for a brief moment before seeing her in mid-air seconds too late. Karin lands a perfect Ressen-Ha on Sakura, knocking her out unconscious.

"Finally, I've redeemed myself by defeating the one that disgraced me! I've regained my dignity! Now I can go home with my head high. I look forward to beating you up again Sakura, until next time."

Karin walks off but realizes Sakura was not responding. She looks back at her fallen opponent unconscious in the rain.

'Oh my, did I really hit her that hard? I guess I sometimes forget how powerful I am! Hohoho!'

Karin takes a few steps forward again but stops to look back at Sakura.

'Perhaps it would be rude for me to leave her like that in the rain…'

She walks to Sakura's side and covered her from the rain with a pocket umbrella. With such a small umbrella it can barely shelter Sakura from the rain leaving Karin fully exposed to it. Sakura opened her eyes but can only manage to see a blurry image of a blonde girl wearing a red uniform. She blacks out again after hearing someone calling her name.

"Miss Karin, your friend has awoken." Said Karin's butler Ishizaki.

Sakura found herself resting in a large room with simple yet expensive decorations themed with a white exterior. The room contained high tech looking medical equipment that was arrayed neatly. She saw Karin taking a seat beside her bed with her classic snooty look.

"Sometimes I forgot how strong I really am, how you are feeling Sakura-san?"

"You won by chance Karin, I underestimated you this time."

"Perhaps I did or perhaps I did not, I do not matter. It's still an undeniable victory on my part."

Sakura was slightly irritated but nonetheless entertained by Karin's eccentric demeanour.

"What time is it?" Asked Sakura.

"It is half past nine, you have been out cold for quite some time."

"What? I must get home! Oka-san will be worried about me!"

"Relax Sakura-san, I've contacted her personally informing her that you will be staying here for the night doing school homework together with me."

"Won't she be suspicious I did not call her?"

"I made her believe you went shopping for the whole day and left your phone in my house, but yes I believe it will be appropriate for you to ensure her of your well-being."

"Thanks Karin, but since when I agreed on staying in your place for the night?"

Karin was shot with an unexpected question. She hesitates ever so slightly.

"Well I thought given the circumstances you should go home presenting yourself to your mother in a more healthy state, we don't want your mother exaggerating over a few bruises don't we?"

Sakura can only agree. Karin handed Sakura her phone so she can talk to her mother. Karin left the room leaving Sakura to converse with her mother.

After ensuring to her mother she is well, Sakura was left alone in the royal looking private medical room alone with a butler.

"Miss Karin informed me to serve you with anything you might need."

"I'm hungry I want food." Sakura retorted.

"I beg your patience Miss Sakura, Dinner will be served in no more than 10 minutes."

"Okay then thank you, I will be okay for now."

"Alright then I shall inform you when dinner is ready. In the meantime Miss Sakura, I believe you should change into some more comfortable clothing while I have your current uniform washed."
Sakura was handed a nightgown to change in the washroom.

The butler lead Sakura to the dinning where Karin was patiently waiting while sipping tea in her usual princess posture.

"Sakura-san you look well in those sleeping garments I made for you."

"These aren't yours? You made them for me? Nani?"

"Oh hohohohoho! Of course I did not made them myself, I asked my personal tailor to stitch together something special for you tonight."

Sakura was rather speechless, she was wearing a bright pink silky nightgown with short sleeves with the dress extending right above the knee. There were golden floral patterns all around the edges of the garment.

"Consider it a small gift from me."

"Souka!? Arigato gozaimas! It's really pretty Karin-san." Sakura said with a radiant smile.

"No need to thank me, It cost no trouble on my part. But don't expect this small token of generosity to be some sort of a trend. Come take a seat beside me Sakura-san, dinner will be served in a while."

"Wakatta!"

A waiter came out from the kitchen and served each of the girls a plate consisting of a single large oyster. Sakura's eyes were sparking with delight.

"Wahhh… this look so delicious…"

Karin was silent; to her such delicacy was all too common. But it was no surprise that a 'commoner' was amazed to see such fine dining. As expected of Karin, Sakura had 'bad' table manners. Though Sakura wasn't at all rude for 'commoner', elbows on the table, eating without silence, showing teeth while chewing, curved sitting posture, was all 'rude' for such a high status 'princess' such as Karin. Within seconds Sakura ate the fat juicy oyster whereas Karin had merely begun opening its shell politely with her cutleries.

"I'm really hungry Karin… Is this what you usually eat for dinner? I mean it's really delicious but it's just so little..."

"Sakura-san this is merely an appetizer, there is more courses on the way."

"Oh really this is amazing!"

After several courses of fine cuisine Karin and Sakura was served the last course which was desert; a chocolate cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. It looked like an ordinary cake but its taste is nonetheless 1st class standards. Sakura made quite a mess eating the cake, smearing chocolate at both sides of her mouth.

"Oh my, Sakura, would you please practice more civilised table manners?"

"I'm sorry Karin-san, I can't help myself."

"I suppose I can forgive a commoner indulging herself in royalties she would rarely experience."

Karin looks at Sakura amused at the sight she consider rather childish. To her Sakura was like a Kid eating her favourite snack, it was cute. After dinner Karin would usually take this time to study.

"Sakura-san I will be in the study, if you need anything feel free to ask Ishizaki."

"Aw, you are going to spend this sleep-over studying? That is so boring! Please do something with me Karin-san!"

"Sleep-over?"

Karin was slightly confused, she never held such an activity before and certainly never came to mind she was hosting one at the current moment.

"Eh? Don't you know what a sleep-over is?"

"Of course I know! But…What do you actually do in such events?"

"Pillow fights, Movies, Board games, Truth or dare? There are plenty of things we can do tonight."

Such social activities are unfamiliar to Karin, but she does know some minor details about them.

"I'm certainly not going to participate in a pillow fight or a real fight at the moment, but I am comfortable with a… movie."

"That is great! Let's watch a horror movie!"

Sakura seats anxiously with Karin in the private home theatre. They were sitting on a comfortable red crescent shaped sofa in the middle of a moderate sized room. In front of them was a large shiny TV.

"What movie would you like to see Sakura?"

"Haunted Zombie Hospital 3!"

Karin looks at Ishizaki. The butler nods knowingly and left the room.

"You know that movie is not released yet Karin-san, I just saw its trailer a few weeks ago."

"Just because the movie not released in cinemas yet doesn't mean it is not completed. I have contacts in the film industry that gives me access to the latest flicks."

"Karin-san, you are so enviable! I'm so happy to have a friend like you!"

"Eh?" Karin retorts in disbelief.

"What's wrong?" Sakura said in her bubbly eyes.

"No… Nothing I guess I never thought you see me that way."

"Why? We occasionally spar and quarrel but that don't mean we can't be friends."

"I… don't know, all my life I have been surrounded by commoners so I guess it's hard to find… friends."

"Karin-san…" Sakura said in a sad tone.

"I'm happy to have you as my companion Sakura-san."

Sakura reply with happy nod of approval. As the movie started Sakura moved closer to Karin. Karin was not used to being so close to anybody both physically and emotionally except with her parents, but it doesn't mean she was feeling discomfort. This new feeling was strange but pleasant for Karin. As the movie progressed Sakura would be frighten by jump scares which makes her hug the person beside her. Karin has watched so many movies, she knew when all of the cheap jump scares would pop out. She knew the signs; the silence, the eerie sounds, the melancholy atmosphere, it was all too familiar to her. But she was startled by Sakura sudden hugs and screams, she never anticipated such reactions. Sakura was startled by the movie and Karin was startled by Sakura. Nonetheless Karin actually reluctantly enjoys Sakura's cute reactions. After the movies Karin lead Sakura to the guest bedroom where they played some card games on the bed. Sakura would react boisterously every time she wins or lose.

"I believe it is getting late Sakura-san, we should get under the covers soon."
"Before you go Karin let's play one more game!"

"Sakura-san it's really very late."

"It won't take long I promise!"

"If you say so..." Karin said reluctantly as she always goes to bed early.

Sakura transfixed her eyes on Karin.

"Who is your current love interest?"

"Wh... What?"

"Truth or dare Karin! Since there are only two of us, one truth and one dare each!"

"Oh… okay… I secretly have a crush on Ken."

"Oh! That American street fighter?"

"Yes… Please don't tell anyone else, this is rather embarrassing."

"Of course Karin-san! Now it's your turn!"

"Well then… who do you fancy?"

"Don't you know? I am obsessed with Ryu…"

"Oh, perhaps that was rather obvious seeing how you try so hard to copy his moves."

"That's right Karin! You just wasted your question on something you already know! Haha! Now dare! I dare you to… eat canteen food tomorrow!"

"You can't be serious!"

Sakura gave her a 'serious' look.

"Fine, then I dare you to…"

Karin was speechless, she plundered for a while before awkwardly saying:

"A fight?"

"What?" Sakura was in disbelief.

"Not now of course, we have school tomorrow and we need to sleep early."

Being early to school was not really a habit for Sakura but it was a priority and courtesy of high importance to Karin.

"Monday at the park after school. And this is no ordinary match, the winner gets to tell the loser to do anything!" Karin said

"Anything?" Sakura asked.

"What? Afraid?" Karin asked with a smug face.

"Ridiculous! I accept your challenge!"

"Then it's settled, goodnight then."

As Karin starts to get of the bed to go to her room, Sakura stops her by grabbing her wrist lightly.

"Would you sleep with me tonight?"

"What so ever do you mean?!" Karin was startled.

"Don't be silly! Girls usually sleep together in sleep-overs! It's not what you think! Haha!"

It was all too hilarious for Sakura to think that Karin thought she wanted her to 'sleep' with her.
Karin stayed silent and slightly confused, this was the first time she unknowingly hosted a sleep-over.

"I mean if that is okay with you, if it feels wrong you don't have to." Sakura said in a friendly tone.

Karin thought about it for a while.

"What harm can it do? Alright."

The girls tucked in side by side facing each other. Karin blushes, she was never so intimate with
anyone before. She quickly covers her cheeks with the blanket. Karin's expression did not go unnoticed by Sakura, making her giggle.

"Hey Karin…"

"Yes Sakura?"

"I really had fun tonight, thank you."

Karin nods and watches as Sakura slowly falls asleep.

'Sakura looks so pretty… her body is so beautiful…'

Karin realizes she is developing lustful affections for her rival.

'Oh my, what is this!? I'm actually having dirty thoughts! It can't be! I can't! It must be a temporary rush of premature emotions!'

Karin turned opposite to Sakura and tries to ignore her uncivilised lustful fantasies.
