Chapter 9: Ryu's Attraction
"Chun-Li, please listen," Sakura pleaded. "We were about to find you and ask if you felt like going out with us. You don't need to be so upset."
"And why should I not be upset??" Chun-Li bolted out. "I just realized how many times I see you two together and I think it's pretty fishy. You're trying to steal Ryu away from me, aren't you?"
Sakura was definitely insulted by that, giving a rather disgusted look. "Wait a second. I DON'T love Ryu! He just comes to me for advice--"
Chun-Li instantly cut her off. "That's what Ken is here for. Besides, why should I believe a word you say?"
"Because I MEAN it, Chun-Li!!" Sakura protested with feeling. "Geez! I didn't know that you were such a crybaby--"
SMACK!!
My eyes widened at the sight of Chun-Li smack Sakura right across the face, the blow forcing the schoolgirl's head to turn to the side. Sakura kept her head looking away from Chun-Li, slowly putting her hand on her now swollen cheek. Silence filled the area for about ten seconds, no of us moving or making a sound... then Sakura finally turned her head to face the older Chinese woman. At that time I could have sworn I saw a severe look of hatred in Sakura's eyes...
{This can't be good...} I thought... and her next action... surprised me...
"Chun-Li..." "Stop... acting like..."
POW!!
"A BITCH!!"
I was shocked. Totally shocked. Sakura flat out decked Chun-Li right in the face, knocking her onto her butt. I never realized how strong Sakura was, how emotional she could get... Wait a second... Strong... soothing to be around... smart... emotional...
Chun-Li sat up on the sidewalk and stared at the younger girl, her eyes wide. Sakura, however, calmed down a bit, but not much.
"You REALLY need to start thinking. You're my friend and I sorta know how much Ryu means to you. I felt the same way when I first met him... but why would I do such a thing to you? I'm not that type of girl."
It took Chun-Li around 3 seconds to register what Sakura said and got to her feet, ashamed in her actions. Sakura then totally lost her anger and walked over to comfort her.
"You really must care for him to act like that. I wouldn't know that much but... I guess it's a special thing you have for him, huh?"
Chun-Li nodded. "Yeah... Gomen ne... I just acted pretty stupid."
"It's okay."
Suddenly, I noticed that I wasn't really thinking about or was vocally involved in their little altercation, even though I was the main reason why they were 'fighting'. I was in my own little dream world... It was weird. I never really daydream... but this...
I rather not explain what I was dreaming about... but I had Sakura and Chun- Li with me at the same time, all alone in an open field. The weird thing was that I felt more... attracted to Sakura than I did Chun-Li. It wasn't like... I hated Chun-Li... but... it was just that...
"Ryu, we're ready," Chun-Li said, breaking me out of my trance. "So you're heading out, huh? Where to?"
"Uh... you'll see," I said, noticing that it was the first thing I said to her ever since she showed up. I still found it ironic that Sakura was proving herself to be a lot more... mature for her age. She was even able to set Chun-Li straight without 'fighting' for the most part. She was... captivating...
On the other hand there, there was Chun-Li who obviously went thought some type of stress when she was off on her business. She was a lot more emotional and sensitive, not to mention willing to fight for me. For about a minute, the situation reminded me of a manga that Sean, Ken's student, showed me once. I think it was called "Narato" and the three main characters had a sort of... relationship... Narato had a crush on Sakura (not the Sakura that I know), who in turn had one on Sasuke, who didn't seem to care less.
Here, Chun-Li was Narato, I was Sakura (from Narato), and Sakura was Sasuke, to put things bluntly. It didn't come to me that it was actually close to me that it was actually closer than that. I... I really... felt like... Oh, screw it. I'm admitting it. I'm falling in love with Sakura... but at the same time... I still have feelings for Chun-Li. Now what do I do...?
