The morning sun took precedence as two women met up with one another outside the local pub. A glare in each one of the four eyes. The dust settled as Virginia's final foot came to a rest adjacent from Sakura who was already waiting.
"I'm happy to see you made it." She commented.
"I said I would, Friend." Virginia replied.
"Friend?" Sakura scoffed. "How can you call me that after all that you did to me?"
"All I did was ruin your doll." She shrugged.
"What?" Sakura said in disbelief. "That's not it! You don't recall that day before I left after that?"
"What do you mean?" Virginia wondered with intrigue.
"The arm came off, but you put it back on. I forgot my lunch that my father made me so I went to go grab it. When I got back it was burnt! Someone put it on fire and that someone was you!" Sakura explained.
"I did no such thing!" Virginia barked.
"Who else could have done it? I left it with you, and then you run off after burning it?"
Virginia grinned. "I remember what happened now. I left the doll there. My uncle came and told me to come on home. It was fine when I left it there for you."
"Lies! All lies!" Sakura said shaking her head. "Our duel shall commence!" She draws two sai from her sleeves of her dress.
"I can't believe you're still making me do this!" Virginia said in shock as Sakura attacked and she backed away. She takes out her ARMs and prepares to fire, but sees an attack from Sakura coming and blocks it with her weapons. Sakura is able to force Virginia's weapons to the air. Seeing this Virginia kicked her opponent away and caught her guns as they fell.
Virginia fires out only to have Sakura roll away form the bullets. Sakura is to her feet and lashes outward at her foe to find only air and then another kick. She jumps to her feet again and catches Virginia before Virginia can fire. This time they each knock the other's weapons away leaving them both to gloved hands.
"We'll have to finish the old-fashioned way!" Sakura announced as she threw a karate kick at Virginia. Virginia had no idea that Sakura was skilled in three forms of martial arts! She goes for a flying kick, but Virginia uses her 'Scared-as-Hell-Arts' to get away from that one. She stands upper cutting her old friend from behind hitting the back of Sakura's skull. Virginia backs away onto some boxes nearby. As Sakura turns and charges Virginia makes her way up onto the rooftop of the pub. "Hold up Chicken!" Sakura called out as she followed after.
"We're getting nowhere with this fight! Don't you see?" Virginia reasoned as she jumped to the roof a now abandoned building. Sakura landing just behind her and charging forward. Virginia falls onto the rooftop in an attempt to dodge. Sakura is fast to act on that and goes for a downward strike. Too bad Virginia moved. The force of Sakura's punch leaves a hole in the roof. Then a crack in the roof. Eventually the two let out two separate yelps as the roof and the rest of the building falls inward upon them.
There is silence and nothing moves. Until something comes along and starts removing some debris. "Virginia!" Jet roared as he moved some wood aside. He had been watching the whole fight against objections that Virginia had told him this morning. He ignored her though by giving his usual, 'Whatever. Don't care.'. Halfway through all of this he found he had no idea why he was bothering. This is the girl who totally dissed him last night, after all. Made him feel terrible and kept him up all night as her words echoed in his head. Things that came so spiteful that it hit his very core and shattered it. Then he saw the building fall, and he said her name before Sakura's. That was who he should have said.
Finally he relaxed as he found her body. Unconscious, but still fine. He turned his attention away to his would-be-crush. "Sakura!" Just as he went to find her she appeared. A saddened look on her face. "You okay?"
"When I fell...I remember now...everything. There was a boy...he set my doll on fire." She muttered listlessly.
"Sakura?"
"I'm sorry...Jet. I don't think...we will be having lunch today." She said vaguely.
His mood fell. "What do you mean?"
"I...Listen, when she wakes up, tell her she and I still have plenty to settle! I will have my revenge! This has only made me remember some other problems I've had with her. I will not have it happen again!" Her fire falters. "Though...I am afraid...It has started again." She looks to Jet's eyes. "Take care, will you?"
"Huh?"
"Here." She tosses him a small package. "It's bread. I made it...just for you. So don't share it with that...With Virginia." She turns away and there are so many word in Jet's mouth that not even one comes out. He just watches her leave him behind. There was something wrong with her. He just could not run after her. Then, he also was confused as to why he would want to run after her. He never had any such desires to help people like that before. To make them feel better emotionally. Why would he care what others felt?
He looked to Virginia's face as he lifted her up. "I guess...I do care. I hate that I do, but that's...Pheh." He groaned as he walked away from the destroyed building before anyone could find them there.
