A/N: Finally, I have come up with a Ryu/Sakura story! Yay! Many thanks to Trutenor for the inspiration and for his offer to let me work on his Ryu/Sakura shrine. Please forgive me if this chapter comes out a little short. They will get longer as the story goes on, I promise. This first chapter takes place right where Sakura's ending in Alpha 2 left off. Once again, thank you Trutenor for giving me the inspiration to write this. I'm sorry it took so darn long, but you know how it goes with school, work, not having a computer, and having to deal with that little thing called life, and what not. So once again, I thank you. Now with that said, on with the story.
Sakura was walking home from school and was staring at the picture she managed to take of Ryu after their battle.
~Hmm... I know I won the fight, but I just can't help feeling that he went easy on me and let me win. I hope me being a girl has nothing to do with it. I hate it when people do that.~
Sakura was so caught up in her thoughts that she she let out a startled gasp when she felt a hand place itself on her shoulder. She turned around to find her friend and rival, Karin standing there with a big grin on her face.
"Hey Sakura, what's up?" Karin asked.
"Oh, it's you Karin. You know, you really need to stop sneaking up me and scaring me like that. You're gonna give me a heart attack one of these days. Anyway, take a look at this picture I took of Ryu." Sakura said.
Karin's eyes widened as Sakura handed her the picture.
"Oh my god! How on god's green earth did you ever manage to take a picture of him?!" Karin exclaimed exictedly.
Sakura blushed.
Well, I actually got to meet him and I challenged him to a battle." Sakura said.
Karin's eyes widened again.
Are you serious? Who won?" Karin asked.
Sakura sighed.
"I did. But I just can't help but feel that he went easy on me somehow. I'd hate to think that me being a girl has something to do with it, but I don't know what else to think." Sakura said.
Karin sighed.
"Well Sakura, I don't think Ryu would go easy on you just becuase you happen to be a girl. That would be underestimating you, big time. I think Ryu knows better than to underestimate his opponents, no matter what gender, or how weak they may look." Karin said.
Sakura's eyes brightened.
"You really think so, Karin?" Sakura asked.
Karin shrugged.
"Yes, I think so. Well, what else happened? Did you ask Ryu to be your master?" Karin asked.
Sakura sighed and dropped her head.
"Yes, but he refused." Sakura said.
"What? Why?" Karin asked.
Sakura shrugged.
"He said that he wasn't good enough and that he was still learning himself. Then he began to walk away and I took this picture." Sakura said.
Krain looked confused.
"Not good enough? But, Ryu's one of the best street fighters around. He sure gave that cocky bastard Sagat a massive beating, remember?" Karin asked.
Sakura nodded.
"How could I forget? It was so sweet. Ryu just hit Sagat with his infamous dragon punch and he was down and out." Sakura said.
Both girls chuckled lightly at the memory.
"But, if Ryu's one of the best street fighters there is, then why would I be able to beat him unless he really did go easy on me? It doesn't make any sence." Sakura said.
Karin sighed.
"I don't know, Skaura. I just don't know." Karin said.
Sakura was lost in thought for a moment, then began to lightly chuckle. Karin rasied in eyebrow at her in confusion.
"What's so funny, Sakura?" Karin asked.
"Nothing. Just I wouldn't mind seeing him again. I just realized how hot he really is." Sakura said.
Karin's eyes widened.
"Ohh, do we have a bit of a crush on the famous street fighter?" Karin teased.
Sakura blushed.
"It's not like that, Karin. I just want him to teach me how to be the best street fighter I can be, that's all." Sakura said.
Karin smirked.
"Yeah right. Sure you do. Admit it Skaura, you've fallen head over heels for him. You wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to get his picture if the case were any different." Karin said.
Sakura blinked her eyes in shock and for a moment, all she could do was stare blankly at Karin.
~Could Karin be right? Could I really have feelings for Ryu? That would explain why I did go through all that trouble to ask if he could be my master and get this picture, but I just don't know!~
Sakura was taken out of her thoughts when Karin began to wave her hand in front of her face.
"Hello! Earth to Sakura! Come in Sakura!" Karin exclaimed.
Sakura snapped out of it and tilting her head, she gave Karin a lop-sided smile.
"Sorry about that. Do you really think I could have for Ryu? I mean, I barely even know him." Sakura said.
"It's possible. Don't get yourself in too deep, though. Ryu's constantly moving around, so he doesn't stay in the same place for too long." Karin said.
"Yeah, maybe you're right. Hey, its getting late. I need to get home." Sakura said.
"Alright girl. See ya later." Karin said.
"Bye Karin." Sakura said.
They gave eachother a hug and Sakura watched as Karin got into her limo and it drove off.
~Ryu. Is it possible. Could I really have feelings for you? Where are you now?~
Sakura sighed and continued to walk home with thoughts of Ryu weighing heavly on her mind.
A/N: Well, that's the first chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it so far. Forgive me for the shortness. They will get longer as the story progresses.
