So sorry for not updating in what seems like, forever? Life as a music major is not easy. Learning song after song and going to so many places to perform has really messed up my writing muse. Well the good news is, all of that is over, so I can get back to writing. But enough about me, you want to know who has won, right?

First of all, I have to say thank you to all of you reviewers for being so patient. Without you, this story wouldn't exist.

Second, let me provide all of you with some links to some R/CL and R/S sites:

Iwa's R/CL Lair.
I still miss Nights "Ryu and Chun Li Forever" site, but this is just as good if not better. You can find fanfiction, pictures, and other kinds of interesting stuff to celebrate the love between the First Man and Woman of Street Fighter.

Ryu and Sakura Shrine
About a year ago, I realized that there were no sites about Ryu and Sakura, so I took it upon myself to create one. This site has pictures, fanfics, midis, game endings, and other cool stuff about the King and Queen of Shotokan. And no, this site is not a factor in determining the winner of this fight. You can go to the site yourself by clicking on the homepage in my profile.

And finally, updating was not just due to lack of time, but also because I wanted to do something special with this fic. Instead of just having one chapter with "one" winner and ending all the suspense, I decided to do something different and "experimental". This story will have multiple endings! You heard me right! Multiple endings! This story could end in so many unique ways, and having to choose only one just didn't seem right. The official ending will be ending #3, but I don't know how many endings I will have altogether. At least five. As a reward for being so patient, I'll put up the first 3 endings now. So enjoy! And thank you all once again!

One last thing and then I'll shut up. Since I rated this fic PG-13, I won't be able to put in any lemon scenes. I'll do the best I can under this content rating, but for some of you, that won't be enough. So if anybody wants a "lemon ending" then let me know. If enough people request lemon, then I'll make one and post a link to AFF.net. And now, the moment that you have all waited for...
"Hadou-ken!"

"Shadow Beam!"

Shadow Lady and Dark Sakura used the last bit of their energy as a projectile attack. Fun and games were over, and it was time to claim the grand prize...

"(It's almost over. Soon, I'll be able to learn Shotokan from Ryu and teach him love. There is no way that I am going to lose to Chun Li!)"

"(I refuse to fall down to a schoolgirl! I must finish her off quickly, or else I'll lose everything...)"

Meanwhile, in an area unknown...

Trutenor: Damn! This fight is getting too dangerous! If I don't do something fast, families who have lost a love one will sue me! Dhalsim!

Dhalsim: Yoga! *teleports in* I already know what you are about to ask me. You want me to make some kind of protective barrier?

Trutenor: Yes. Put a protective barrier around all of the people that are in the audience watching this match. And protect anybody else who might be going to the bathroom or getting a snack.

Dhalsim: As you wish.

Trutenor: Now that that little matter has been taken care of, I can go back to watching the match...

*****

Dark Sakura and Shadow Lady tried with all of their might to win, but they soon found themselves about to faint.

"(I was a fool to underestimate Dark Sakura. Her power is a lot stronger than I thought. I only have one chance of winning...)"

Shadow Lady rolled to the side. Without Shadow Lady adding in her energy, her Shadow Beam was easily absorbed into Dark Sakura's Hadouken. Both beams eventually cancelled each other out, leaving Dark Sakura puzzled.

"Where did Shadow Lady go? Did I win?'

"Looking for someone?"

Dark Sakura turned around, and realized that she was in trouble...

"You fought well Dark Sakura, but I'm afraid that this match will have to end. Let this be a lesson to all that try to steal Ryu away from me! Kikosho!"

Shadow Lady used the very last bit of her energy to summon up a Kikosho. Dark Sakura was immediately sucked into this humongous orb of blue energy. This attack was so big, that the stadium started to shake.

*****
Ryu: Never have I seen Chun Li use so much energy before...

Rose: The amount of energy used is a testament to how much she loves you. She will make a good wife for you...

*****
Shadow Lady finally finished with her attack and fell down to one knee. She immediately changed back to Chun Li. Dark Sakura hit the floor hard.

The referee immediately came towards the 2 ladies and started the countdown.

Referee: One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven! Eight! Nine!

Announcer: Wait a minute! Dark Sakura has gotten back up! I don't believe the spirit that we are seeing in her!

"Promise me one thing, Chun Li..."

Chun Li could hardly believe that Dark Sakura was back up on her feet. Chun Li was out of energy and knew that if Dark Sakura threw one more attack that she would not be able to defend against it.

"Sure...what is it?"

Dark Sakura struggled to stand as she spoke.

"Take good care of Ryu for me..."

Chun Li was shocked at the request coming from Sakura.

"Yes...I'll do that for you...."

A slight grin formed on Sakura's lips.

"Thank you..."

After those final words, Dark Sakura blacked out and fell to the floor head first. As soon as Dark Sakura hit the ground, she reverted back into regular Sakura.

Referee: Sakura is unable to battle any longer. The winner of this fight is...Chun Li!

All of the fans, including the Sakura ones cheered. The Chun Li fans were proud that their lady had won while the Sakura fans loved Sakura even more for having so much honor even upon defeat.

Immediately the medic team was sent over to the arena to take care of Chun Li and Sakura, but Dhalsim teleported in and held a hand up.

Dhalsim: Your assistance will not be necessary. Trutenor insisted that I handle this matter personally.

Dhalsim gave Chun Li a quick healing until she could make it to Rose.

Dhalsim: That healing that I gave you is only temporary. It should last long enough for you to get to Rose and get a more permanent healing. Now go. I shall take Sakura and take care of her myself.

Chun Li: Thank you.

Chun Li immediately ran towards the stairs to claim her prize. Dhalsim was about to teleport when out of nowhere, Dan showed up.

Dan: Please allow me to go with you! Sakura is my #1 student, and I feel that it is my responsibility to take care of her!

Dhalsim: As you wish. Take her into your arms.

Dan grabbed Sakura while Dhalsim put a hand on Dan's shoulder and concentrated.

Dhalsim: Yoga!

All three disappeared...

*****
Akuma: This isn't over! We will meet again!

Bison: Psycho Crusher!

Bison used a Psycho Crusher on Akuma and knocked him out cold.

Bison: Consider that payback for what you did to me so many years ago! (A.N: Bison is referring to Akuma's 1st entrance in SSF2T where the Shungokusatsu defeats him)

Bison: And now to claim my island...

Bison teleports out of the arena and onto Akuma's previously owned piece of land. Bison looks around and sees the various statues and other stuff that is reminiscent of Akuma.

Bison: All of this has to go...

Bison starts throwing fireballs everywhere, destroying everything that is linked to Akuma.

Bison: In 6 months, this will be my newest Shadowlaw base...

*****
Chun Li reached the fifth floor and found the door that Ryu and Rose were in.

Rose: Congratulations on winning the match, Chun Li.

Chun Li: Thank you.

Rose: As promised, here is your necklace.

Using her psychic abilities, Rose made the necklace appear in her hands and tossed it to Chun Li. Chun Li caught the necklace and put it around her neck.

Rose: Also, I have undone the hold that I have had on Ryu. Take care. Soul teleport!

Rose teleported away, and left Ryu and Chun Li alone.

Chun Li: Ryu...

Ryu: Chun Li...I regret that it took a fight between you and Sakura to make me realize who I really wanted. Please forgive me.

Chun Li: Don't apologize, Ryu. That's all in the past now. Instead, let us move towards the future...

With that said, Chun Li wrapped her arms around Ryu's neck and pulled him into a kiss.

Chun Li: Come on; let's get out of here...

The hotel room was already prepared when Chun Li and Ryu arrived. A mini table was already set for two. On this table were a bouquet of roses, and a note addressed to Chun Li. Chun Li picked up the note and read what was inside...

Dear Miss Chun Li,
Good job on your victory over Sakura earlier. Now it is time for you to enjoy the fruits of your labors. This particular hotel room has two showers, so I suggest that you and Ryu clean yourselves right now. Inside each of your bathrooms are some clothes to change into. You will find that the attire that has been provided has been made to fit you. That is also a gift for a woman as elegant as you. Next, when it is time for you and Ryu to dine, you will find that the food has already been prepared. The champagne will also be there when you need it. All you have to do is want it, and it will be there. Finally, when you decide to engage in more "intimate" activities with Ryu, you will find a bag containing the remainder of your rewards. With that said, enjoy yourself!

"I wish I knew who sent this..."

Ryu came behind Chun Li and held her tight.

"What is it, Chun Li?"

"Nothing. Listen, why don't we take a shower before we eat?"

"You know, that sounds like a good idea..."

Ryu gave Chun Li a kiss on her cheek before going into his bathroom. Chun Li smiled as she headed into the other bathroom to clean herself up. When Chun Li saw the dress that was made for her, her heart stopped.

"Oh my...that dress is so beautiful..."

Chun Li got into the shower and cleaned herself. When she was finished, she put on the dress that was provided for her and stepped out into the room. Ryu was already waiting for her in a nice black tux. Ryu held out his hand to Chun Li.

"Would you honor me with your presence?"

Chun Li blushed and took Ryu's hand.

"It would be an honor to dine with you..."

Ryu led Chun Li to the table and pulled her chair out. Once Chun Li was seated, Ryu pushed her chair back in.

"You're so sweet!"

"Gouken made sure that I treat all women like the queen they really are."

At this comment, Chun Li blushed an even brighter red.

"(Ryu...I've already gotten my treat for today. But you haven't...)"

As the note said, dinner was already prepared and at the table. The meal consisted of pasta lightly dipped in margarine covered with marinara sauce and topped with cut chicken pieces. On the side was a plate of garlic bread, and a bowl of Caesar salad. The dessert of choice was cheesecake covered in white chocolate topped with juicy purple grapes.

"(This is great, but now we need something to drink.)"

As if on cue, Chun Li felt something underneath the table. When Chun Li looked, she found a bucket of ice with a bottle of champagne inside.

Chun Li poured some champagne into both hers and Ryu's glasses before raising her glass.

"Cheers to us."

Ryu smiled as he held up his glass.

"Kanpai..."

As Ryu and Sakura ate, a violin solo started playing out of nowhere.

"Where is that music coming from?"

"I don't know Chun Li, but it is as beautiful as you are."

"Oh Ryu! Please stop!"

"Stop what? Telling the truth?"

Chun Li suddenly couldn't look at Ryu anymore. Her face was as bright as an apple. When she glanced a peek into Ryu's eyes, she suddenly found herself getting very hot.

"(I think I'm ready for dessert, and I'm not talking about the cheesecake...)"

Chun Li wiped her mouth with a napkin before getting out of her chair and approaching Ryu.

"Chun Li, what's the matter? Is the food not to your liking?"

Chun Li smiled at Ryu's naivety. Ryu really was cute when he was naïve...

"No Ryu, the food is great. It's just...that I was ready to have my dessert..."

"Oh, you want some cheesecake? Ok, I'll get you a piec---"

Chun Li hushed Ryu by placing a finger on his lips.

"That's not the dessert I had in mind..."

Chun Li brought her hand under Ryu's chin.

"I'm hungry for you, Ryu..."

Chun Li leaned her head in and hungrily kissed Ryu's mouth.

Ryu quickly dropped his fork, as his mouth tasted something else...

Chun Li broke the kiss and took Ryu's hand. She pulled him away from the table and led him to the bed.

"(Now where are those toys?)"

Right at Chun Li's feet appeared a black bag. When Chun Li looked inside, she saw what she was looking for. Whips, chains, and other assortments of goodies...

Chun Li took out a whip and pointed it towards Ryu.

"And now Ryu...it's time to really have some fun..."

6 months later...
*****
Bison: Ah, my new Shadowlaw base looks perfect! Juli! Juni! Come here!

Juli: Yes, Master Bison.

Juni: How can we serve you?

Bison: You two will be in charge of this branch of Shadowlaw. See to it that all operations run smoothly.

Juli: Yes, sir!

Juni: We won't fail you!

Bison: See that you don't...

*****
Chun Li was out of her dress now. All she had on was her bra and panties.

"It's getting a little bit hot in here. I think I had better do something about it..."

Chun Li dropped her whip and reached behind her back to undo the strap that was holding her bra together.

"There!"

With the strap now loose, Chun Li slowly started to remove her bra until Ryu was able to see Chun Li's fully erect nipp-

Rose: Ok, that's enough Trutenor! I think the audience gets the point!

Trutenor: No! Let me finish typing this! I'm on a roll!

Rose: *smacks Trutenor behind the head* You hentai! Ryu and Chun Li need to be alone! And besides, you rated the fic PG-13, remember? So you can't put in any lemon!

Trutenor: What about lime?

Rose: What you put in is lime! No more! If they want lemon, they'll ask for it! Now get to work on ending 2 before I make you my personal slave!

Trutenor: Yes mam...

Well, looks like I can't go any further. If you want a lemon scene to this ending then let me know. In the meanwhile, go on to another ending!
