A.N: Sorry about not updating in a while. I had a preliminary version of this done, but it was too sappy and cheesy. The readers deserve something better than that, especially since I've been getting some good reviews. Writer's block was also a problem for a little while. But it seems to be disappearing as I am getting my writing ideas back! I'll try to update more frequently, but also realize that good work takes time…

A.N: Originally, I was going to have Ryu and Chun Li fall in love with each other end of story. But from the reviews that I've received here and the reviews that I've received from my Ryu/Sakura lemon, I've come to one conclusion. There are a lot of people who love the idea of a Ryu and Sakura relationship. So now this story can go either way. Ryu may go with Chun Li as originally planned, or he may turn around and love Sakura instead. This almost sounds like something out of Tenchi Muyo. The only way to find out who Ryu will choose will be to continue reading, continuing with this chapter…



I hope that I won't need to say this, but I'll say it anyway. I don't own Street Fighter or anything associated with them. They belong to Capcom. I wish that I did own them however…



Sakura was in heaven. She was in the arms of Ryu, the only man who had been able to enter her heart. No one would be able to pull them away now. Or so she thought…

"Hey Sakura! Could you let go of Ryu now?"

Sakura woke up from her little fantasy. It was time to face reality. She started to blush as she slowly released Ryu.

Ryu was in a slight state of shock. He couldn't believe that this beautiful woman was Sakura Kasugano. She was no longer a kid, but a lady. Although he's always cared for her, he never thought that he would be admiring her beauty. Things were starting to become difficult now. He liked Chun Li, but Sakura was becoming a nice alternative…

"Sakura? I don't believe that it's you! You're all grown up!"

"Yep!" Sakura poked Ryu's chest with her index finger. This made Ryu blush a little. She was so soft. Crap. He was starting to fall for her…

"So what are you doing now?"

"I teach Shotokan in Japan."

"You must love the martial arts to still be doing it."

"I do. But I love something else even more…"

Ken, Dan, and Sean all knew what Sakura meant when she made that last statement. Fortunately, Ryu was too naïve to understand the true meaning of Sakura's words…

Ken had to talk to Ryu. But he would need a diversion. That's when it hit him…

"Hey Sean! Dan! You still haven't finished your match!"

"That's right! I still have to beat this Ken wannabe!"

"At least I'm not a bad version of Ryo Sakazaki!"

"That's it! Let's take this to the floor!"

"You're on!"

Sean and Dan entered the training room and continued their match from earlier. Sakura just watched while Ken took Ryu to a private place to talk…

"She likes you, Ryu…"

"I know. What do I do?"

"Tell her you're not interested."

"It's not that easy…"

"Why?"

"I might be falling for her…"

"Ohh… That is bad… But you have to go with what your heart says. Besides, Chun Li hasn't shown up yet…"



Ryu had forgotten about Chun Li. She still hadn't shown up yet. And when she did show up, what would Ryu do? What made things difficult was the fact that Ryu had no idea when Chun Li would be showing up. When he didn't expect it, she would show up. Ryu had to be prepared. But with one woman already showing her affection, that would not be easy…

It was getting late now, so everyone decided to get something to eat. Ryu and Ken went back to the training room to see the conclusion of the Dan/Sean match…

This fight was still evenly matched. No one seemed to be giving in. When Dan used a Kouryuken, Sean used a Dragon Smash. Both fighters fell to the floor. They slowly were able to stand. They both only had enough energy left for one more attack. Sean used his Hadou Burst, while Dan threw a Shinkuu-Gadoken. Both projectiles cancelled each other out. Dan and Sean were so exhausted from the fight that they decided to call it a tie. With the conclusion of the match, it was time to eat…

Ken's butlers had set the dinner table with a wide assortment of meats, cheeses, and other dishes. There was enough food to feed an army. However, only 5 people would be eating. Eliza had gone out of town and taken Mel with her so Ken would be without her for a while. Without hesitating, everyone ate to his or her heart's content…

Ryu and Dan made pigs out of themselves. They ate like it was their last meal. Everyone else was in shock at how much those two could eat. They had bottomless guts…

After 15 minutes, Ryu and Dan were still eating while Ken, Sean, and Sakura had given up. Dan had suddenly got an idea to make dinner more interesting…

"Hey Ryu, 100 dollars if you can eat more than me…"

"You're on!"

Ryu never turned down a challenge, no matter what it was…

Ryu and Dan started to eat faster now. They piled rice, chicken legs, potatoes, beef, anything that was edible into their mouths. After 10 minutes, Dan started to slow down. 5 more minutes, and Dan couldn't eat another bite…

"Here…"

Dan dropped the 100-dollar bill on the table before going back to the training room. He mumbled that he would have to work off the extra weight gained during that meal…

Ryu finally got up. He was stuffed. He ate everything that was on the table. Sean's eyes were wide. Ken's mouth was wide open. Sakura let out a little giggle.

While Dan trained, everyone else went to his or her room to do whatever they wanted. Ken was watching TV. Sean was reading a karate magazine. Ryu was meditating. And Sakura was lying in her bed, though she wasn't asleep.

A.N: Once again, because I made this story PG-13, I can't put in any real lemon. I'm starting to regret my decision. I'm not going to change it to NC-17 because that would be unfair to everyone that is under 17. But I will go as far as I can…

"Ryu…"

Sakura couldn't stand to be without Ryu. It wasn't just about desire anymore… It was need… Sakura started to blush thinking about him again. She started to feel very warm. She took off her jacket and shoes. That helped a little, but she was still hot. She took off her shirt and pants, leaving her in nothing but her bra and panties…

"Ryu….I need you…"

Sakura's lower regions were starting to feel wet. Sakura placed a finger to her panties to investigate…

"(Oh god… just thinking about him makes me horny…I need a shower…)"

Sakura got off the bed and went to take a shower in the bathroom that was in her room. (Ken was that rich!) When she came out, she changed into a nightgown and went to sleep.

Dan had come out of the training room. He was content with himself. Although he had stuffed his face at dinner, he managed to burn off some of it.

"yawn…"

Dan was tired. He had trained for like 2 hours after dinner. It was really dark outside now. Dan went to his room and took a shower before he too turned in for the night.

Ken and Sean had also turned in for the night. Ryu was the only one still awake. He was still in meditation. Just then, he thought he felt something evil…

Ryu opened his eyes. He tried to feel for any negative ki around the mansion. Sensing none, Ryu allowed himself to relax…

"(Relax, Ryu. You're just exhausted. You're feeling things that aren't there.)"

Ryu turned out his light and went to sleep.





Ryu woke up early the next morning. He decided to go outside and do a little training. He also was trying to decide what to do about his love situation…

"What do I do? I have always liked Chun Li, but now Sakura is becoming very attractive. I can't keep her out of my mind! This will not be an easy choice to make…"

Ryu finished his outdoor training that consisted of a jog and meditation, and was finally ready to go back into the mansion to take a shower. He went back to his room and got his things ready for what he would change into. He then got into the shower…

Meanwhile, everyone else was up and already dressed. They had showered and dressed while Ryu was outside doing his morning exercises. They had just finished breakfast when there was a knock on the door…

One of Ken's butlers called Ken to the front door. Ken went to the door and was surprised by who was standing there…

Chun Li…A goddess… If he wasn't married and Chun Li didn't like Ryu, he would go for her…

"Hey Ken!"

"Chun Li!"

Chun Li jumped into Ken's chest and hugged him. It felt so good to see him again…

"So what have you been up to?"

"I've been helping out Gen in his dojo…"

"Well it's good to see you again!"

Dan, Sean, and Sakura had come to the front door now. Dan and Sean were put into a trance from Chun Li's beauty. Sakura seemed to be the only one who had control of herself.

Everyone talked with Chun Li while one of Ken's servants put her things into her room.

Ryu had finally got out of the shower. He put on his clothes before he was interrupted by his stomach…

"Must be hungry…"

Ryu walked out of his room and walked down the stairs. Who he started to see downstairs made his heart stop…

"(Chun Li? Is that her?)"

Chun Li felt someone approaching her. She looked towards the stairs. What she saw made her heart freeze…

"(Ryu…)"

Chun Li's eyes started to get a little watery as she ran towards Ryu and tackled him to the ground. As she lay on top of him, they both started to blush…

"Good to see you again…"

"Likewise…"

Chun Li had placed her right hand on Ryu's cheek. They were looking deep into each other's eyes.

Dan and Sean started to suspect that something was up between Ryu and Chun Li. They were a little jealous of Ryu but quickly got over it. Sakura on the other hand, felt completely different about the matter…

Sakura had nothing against Chun Li. She was a nice person. Someone she could talk to. But Chun Li was after something that she wanted…Ryu. Sakura liked Chun Li, but she had no business trying to smother on "her" Ryu. Something inside Sakura snapped. She started to feel negative energy building inside her. She was starting to feel an uncontrollable urge to hurt Chun Li. No one inside the mansion had noticed what Sakura was feeling. Sakura didn't even know what she was feeling. Outside however, someone was watching Sakura through a window. This figure had on a black gi, and had a dark skin tone. He also had a bead necklace and red hair. His blood red eyes glowed. This figure could only be identified as Akuma, master of the fists, and he was doing something that he normally wouldn't do…he was smiling…

"(I knew it…She does have the potential to become a dark fighter…it seems to be created from her jealousy of any one trying to take Ryu away from her…love…something that is supposed to be beautiful and pure…can also turn into lust and hatred…the irony of it all…things are looking better than I had hoped…I shall unlock the dark power from the young woman as well as Ryu…those two shall train under me…and be my dark followers…they in turn, shall unlock the evil energy inside everyone. I'm loving every moment of this…I must get the one they call Sakura alone first…I shall use her love for Ryu to manipulate her…and then…Ryu shall be mine!)

Akuma then teleported away from the masters mansion…
