Blindsided Love

Hi and this is a random paring but I think it works out so thank you for reading!

Sie Kensou found himself in a girl's room. Of course, he would never barge in without permission. He was invited in by the owner after one of their regular hang outs that have been occurring more and more often as time passed.

It started in the entering hall of her home she lived with her father and brother. They spent the evening at the movies and afterwards ate at a café which he paid like his nature would do. Closing the door behind him, the young rising dragon heard the giggling of his friend. He turned and came face to face with her.

He never noticed how enchanting her hazel eyes were. She seemed to notice his staring and blushed accordingly. After what seemed like an eternity, she closed the distance and kissed the kung fu KOF regular.

Chin's disciple froze, it all happen so fast. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect her to be so forward and to see him in such a manner. He soon wraps his arms around her waist to pull her closer, not until then did he notice her perfect figure. She took his action as invitation to snake her arms around the meat dumplings enthusiast's neck to deepen the kiss.

The lip lock ended as they both pulled back gasping for air, foreheads touching. Without asking the woman to give Kensou his first kiss grab his wrist and pulled through her home. His mind was frazzled attempting to comprehend what had happen only a few seconds ago.

She soon pulled him into her room, the space was not what dragon spirit would have predicted the bedroom would look like. Pink and purple covered the room with a closet, bedside table, dressers and a rug in the middle of the hardwood floor. The moonlight pierced through the half open window allowing the natural light to illuminate the space just enough to be visible.

Their kissing resumed where it left off, Kensou felt her trying to push off his sky-blue jean jacket. He quickly broke the kiss in a panic startled by the suggestive action on her part.

"Um-oh, I'm s-sorry I didn't think you wo-" the psycho solider fumbled over his tongue before he was shut up by another kiss.

She smiled kindly at him whispering "I trust you Kensou, I'll stop if you want to." and resumed their lip lock. The master of the dragon spirit decided he didn't want to stop and their clothes were soon spread across her floor. They both soon found her bed; she had her strong firm legs locked around his waist, nails dug in the back of his shoulders.

Kensou couldn't believe he was so blind to what was happening. His mind lapsing during his grunts and her quiet moaning she attempted but fail to hide, she whispered his name in his ear driving him over the limit. They have gotten so close after a similar but opposite situation. He fell in love with her like she had with him. To his biggest shock the woman under him wasn't Athena, she was Yuri Sakazaki.

Kensou was down on his luck, more than usual considering his many gaffs during and outside the KOF tournaments. To the surprise of everyone, the biggest being himself he came to terms that the psycho solider idol didn't feel the same about him. After being rejected for the umpteenth time, her veteran teammate decides to come to terms with his one-sided crush.

The number one fan of Athena felt lost. For the majority of his life Kensou thought his destiny was to one day woo the projectile specialist. He found himself sitting on a park bench lost and unclear where his life would go to now.

He slumped over resting his chin in his hand "Well, this sucks." he led out a sigh he didn't know he was holding before a voice broke his grumping.

"Kensou?" he heard someone ask. Hearing his name, the Chinese born martial artist didn't bother moving and merely shifted his eyes to the sound of the voice. His eyes bulged not anticipating to be found by a fellow KOF regular.

"Yuri!?" he shouted jumping from his seated position. His shock all the more elevated by her attire. He was used to seeing her in her white gi top and those glorious skin tight spandex leggings. Standing in front of him she was wearing a red crop top, blue denim skinny short shorts and her classic red Vans sneakers. The most shocking sight was her missing red headband allowing her bangs fall a little further than normal.

Clearing his throat Kensou asked the obvious "Hi Yuri, what are you doing here?". He didn't fail to notice her slightly red puffy eyes.

"Oh, I was taking a walk to clear my head." the younger sister of the invincible dragon lowered her eyes to the sidewalk. "Something happened and I wanted to be alone."

The end of her sentence had a hint of sadness. The meat dumping lover knew it would be wise to respect her request but something in him wanted to help the karate wonder girl. She seemed rather upset and this worried him since she was one of the most cheerful and bubbly people he knew.

"I know this isn't my place but do want to talk about what's going with me?" his question caught Yuri off guard so much she lifted her eyes to meet his own. He offered a small smile "Master always told me it's better to talk about our feelings instead of holding them in to ourself."

They both stood there for a few seconds before Yuri released a cute giggle in Kensou's opinion. Yuri knew of Kensou since of their yearly entry into the KOF but never had the chance to sit down and talk to him. They would exchange pleasantries before and after fights but it wasn't until KOF XIII the flying swallow was intrigued.

That year the young dragon wore an emerald green kung fu outfit with red highlights and matching red tai chi shoes. His other accessories didn't fail to catch Yuri's eyes, his red wristbands and headband similar to her's but it was what was gone that had her staring.

His exposed arms allowed one of the women fighters to truly admire Kensou's muscles. Every encounter she had with him in or out the ring he always had his arms covered but his biceps were on full display and Yuri was memorized.

Mai didn't fail to notice her ogling and a playful smile formed on her lips. She leaned in close enough for the younger Sakazaki to hear her teasing. "His arms are quite nice but not nearly as nice as my Andy's."

Yuri gasped and flushed in embarrassment about her gawking. King sensed her crush's younger sibling discomfort and coldly told the kunoichi to knock it off. The beautiful ninja listened but giggled behind her fan about Yuri's new found physical attraction to the kung fu wonder kid.

Yuri recalled that moment and decided to take a chance. "Sure, maybe talking will help with how I feel." Kensou returned to his bench and invited her to join him. She took him on his offer and sat down with a nice space between them.

Kensou broke the ice to ease the awkwardness. "So, what's up? It's been a while since we last seen each other, anything new happening?"

"Nothing much really. Training, school and hanging out with King and Mai." Yuri tried making small talk to move away from what was causing so much pain. Kensou read in between lines and thought it was for the better to not pry into business that wasn't his own.

"Oh! How's the training going? I'm willing to bet you have gotten way stronger since the last time I've seen you fight. You're really lucky to have Ryo and Robert as sparing partners to practice against." During his assault of questions Chin's student noticed Yuri's change in demeanor. Her quiet sniffles caused Kensou to panic and backtrack.

"Woah Yuri I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you upset." put his hands in front of him.

Yuri smiled at his overreaction. "Don't worry Kensou, I know you didn't mean any harm. You just brought up something that I rather forget."

Silence fell between the two fighters before Kensou reached out "Whatever is bothering you will only hurt you more if you keep it to yourself. I won't force you to tell me but I do think it would be in your best interest to speak with someone you trust like King or Mai."

Another minute of stillness allowed the brown belt to closed her hazel eyes and take a deep breath. "Do you know of me and Robert?"

The better question would have been how many times he's heard about their relationship. Recalling back to the numerous encounters the psycho soldiers had with the art of fighting team. Kensou and Robert had talked a few times mostly about chasing the woman who caught their eyes.

"Yeah, I've been told about you and Robert, well mostly from Ryo and Mr. Takuma. They didn't seem onboard about the whole thing." Kensou could call back to countless times the father and son duo angerly grumbling about the two lovebirds.

Yuri could only manage a sigh "I guess they were right."

The fighter in training raised his eyebrows to the responds. He was about to ask what she meant but she beat him to the punch. "I found out Robert has been seeing other women behind my back."

She explained seeing various female contacts under risqué names on Garcia's phone and massive argument ensued when she confronted the mighty tiger. He tried to play dumb and wouldn't admit to any wrongdoing. The sparrow ran out the dojo sobbing before Ryo and Takuma arrived to see what the commotion was about. "That was around a week ago and I haven't talk to Robert since then."

"Wow Yuri I'm sorry to hear that. It wasn't your fault and you shouldn't blame yourself if you are." Kensou reassured the popular kyokugenryu karate practitioner. He placed a compassionate hand on her shoulder.

Yuri shock by his forwardness enjoyed his touch and felt better than she had in the last week. She turned and give him a small but adorable smile in his humble opinion. She wiped her tears before speaking "Thank you Kensou, I guess you were right about speaking about my feelings."

Athena's biggest fan nodded her acknowledgement, glad to see his help was effective. Before he could speak, she beat him to the punch once again. "What about you? Why are you here by yourself?"

His voice got caught in his throat not predicting the tables to be flipped on him. The young dragon considered being dishonest and avoiding the question. However, it would be hypocritical of him to ignore her concern while basically preaching the effectiveness of letting out your feelings.

"Long story short I came to terms that me and Athena are not meant to be." Kensou half expected Yuri to laugh at his ridiculous claim. It was painfully apparent the mega popular idol never saw him in the same light. More embarrassingly the number of years it took her KOF teammate to figure this out.

"Oh well, don't sell yourself short Kensou. With every close door a new one opens, I'm sure you'll make any girl happy like m-" Yuri covered her mouth swiftly almost letting out her mild crush on the psycho solider out.

Kensou merely blinked at Yuri's strange action but appreciated her kind words. "Thanks Yuri, I'm glad you were the person I told this about. Oh, and don't worry. You'll find someone who will make you happy to Yuri."

Stunned by his encouraging words her face heated up. She wished she hadn't tied up her hair to hide her face. The butt press master turned her gaze to the ground and thanked Kensou. The two allowed the quietness to take over and simply enjoyed each other presences. The two warriors allowed the world pass them by until the young man suggested something.

"Hey Yuri! How about a sparring match?" The bubbly woman fighter snapped out space by her new found friend's inquiry. Kensou further explained his request "A spar could help us clear our minds and to be honest I kinda wanna see if I'm still rusty."

Yuri couldn't handle his sheepish grin and accepted. The two moved a nice open part of the park away from the public eye to not be disturb. The two young fighters stood in their respective stances and began their practice match.

Both understood the purpose of a spar, pulling their punches and testing each other's abilities and reflexes. Both were wholly enjoying themselves, especially Yuri. The last few days have been miserable but Kensou had help her in ways she couldn't have predicted. After fifteen minutes the two ceased their fists and bowed.

"You really had me on the ropes Yuri, your raiou kens had me on my toes." Kensou admit while scratching the back of his head. The dark brown-haired girl blushed for what felt for the millionth time that day. "Oh-um thank you, your chokyudans have improve as well."

Chin's trainee flashed a quick thumbs-up before walking to his phone on the ground that he left to not get damaged during the fight. He flashed the screen to glance at the time, it was a quarter past seven and he was staggered. Master Chin would be furious if he arrived late, only he truly knew the wrath of the usually kind elder.

"Hey Yuri, it was nice to see you but I have to go. I hope you get better and to see you soon." Kensou was ready to his leave but someone wasn't ready to see him go.

"Kensou!" the younger Sakazaki called out to her new friend. The kung fu warrior stopped in his track and turned around to see Yuri closely behind him. She had her phone raised to the man which he didn't quite comprehend.

"Uh Yuri why are showing me your ph-"

"Phone number?" she asked kindly.

Kensou for a froze momentarily but recovered in a timely manner. "Oh sure." the two quickly exchanged contact information to be able to communicate when far way. Yuri had truly enjoyed her time spent with Kensou and did something she couldn't have foreseen after getting her heart broken.

"Hey Kensou, would you want to hang sometime next week?" Yuri basically asked the psycho solider out to continue their blossoming friendship. Kensou didn't entirely understand her request but was happy to go on with their companionship and accepted.

After that day the two had many outings and grew closer. Yuri once only physical attraction to the Chinese man expanded to a genuine love for him. He treated her with such kindness that memories of a certain tiger faded from her mind. Walks, dinners and visiting local hotspots for the younger folk were their favorite pastimes to do together.

Kensou on his part never noticed him growing closer to Yuri. After a while their time together increase from weekly to multiple days a week like a real couple. However, Kensou never viewed it that way. He didn't want to overstep her boundaries fearing she still felt troubled about her separation with the Italian fighter. But reliving the previous weeks he fell for her as she had with him.

Kensou was laying his head on the pillow under his head, breathing roughly with his chest raising up and down. Yuri on her behalf rested her head on the young dragon's shoulder breathing hard, their sweaty bodies pressed against each other and legs entangled under the purple blanket. Drowsiness couldn't be fought any longer as both were soon to fall into a slumber.

Before Yuri would fall into a deep sleep, she whispers one last thing. "I love Kensou."

Kensou gave her a tired smile leaning down to peck the top of her forehead, nuzzling the top of her head. "I love you to Yuri." before the two closed their eyes and doze off in each other embrace.

Hi you made it to the end!

Thank you for reading and hopefully it was better than expected! Sorry for the Robert bashing in advance, I do like him but it needed to be done to make sense of Kensou and Yuri pairing.

Have a good one and stay away from drugs!
