Chapter 9: The Fight
Later
Ding Dong, the door bell rang.
Sakura - Coming!
She opened the door and there stood Sophia smiling with her sword behind her back.
Sakura - Sophia
Sophia - How are you Sakura?
Sakura - I'm fine, come on in
She led Sophia to the living room. Not long afterwards the doorbell rang again.
Sakura - That should be Li, will you get that Madison?
Madison nodded and left the room.
Kero - Good to have you back kid
Sophia - Good to be back, Kero
Sakura - So who do you wanna fight first champ?
Sophia - You would be a good warm-up since I know your rusty
Sakura simply sweat dropped and smiled. Madison then walked in with Li.
Sakura - Shall we start?
Sophia - -nods-
Li - Start?
Sophia - So where shall it be?
Sakura - I have an idea
Sophia - Yeah?
Sakura - -nods- Release! Create!
Sophia - Good idea
Li was now clueless and sweat dropping.
Sakura - Let's go o the back
Sakura drew a battle dome in the back of her house.
Sophia - Ready?
Sakura - Sword! ... Ready?
They walked onto the battle dome.
Li - Is this normal!? ...
Kero - Yeah, How long have you been gone brat!?
Li - Mmm
Li stared at Kero with and evil glare in his eyes.
Madison - Begin!!
They started a fierce battle.
Li - Wow, she's a really good swordsman
Kero - That's swords woman brat!
Li - -evil glare-
They continued.
Sophia - Come on Sakura
She attacked head on.
Sophia - You gave me a better battle before I left!
Sakura - AAAH!! -dodging the sword- Give me a break!!
Madison - -smiles-You're doing great Sakura-chan!
Li - She's playing with her ...
Kero - -nods- Sakura has much more power than that ...
Sophia tripped Sakura and she fell on her back. Sophia gave Sakura a hand and helped her up.
Sakura - Heh he, nice battle, huh?
Sophia - You're not trying, next time I won't stop
Sakura sweat dropped, unable to say another word.
Li - I assume you want to battle me? That's why I'm here correct?
Sophia - That's if you accept my challenge
Li - I accept
Li had a serious face.
In The Ring
Li - Don't count on me giving mercy just because you're a girl.
Sophia - I wouldn't have it any other way
Sophia had thought Li was cute. Also from all the pictures and video's she had seen of him. So she was just play talking him.
Madison - Begin!
Li rocketed towards Sophia. She jumped and landed on the other side.
Li - Pretty good, but ... Don't hold back
She jumped and attacked with her sword. Li stopped it with his sword and they were going into a head on combat. Li tripped her and she fell, he headed his sword towards her face and she quickly closed her eyes. Li stopped. A couple seconds later he reached out his hand to help her up. She opened her eyes.
Li - You okay?
Sophia raised to her feet with the help of Li and nodded.
Li - You're a pretty good swords m- ... woman, I mean
Sophia - -smiles- You're not so bad yourself
Kero - -acting as an announcer- And the next battle Sakura Avalon vs. Li Showran, it is not known as to who shall be victorious, but is very clear that Sakura has one defeat, but will she stop there?
Sakura - Ready? -smiles-
Li - What'd you mean!? -blushing-
Sakura - Up to battle, silly
Kero - What you chicken!? ... Moo, moo ... Mooo
Li - No, ... It's just ...
Madison - It's just what Li?
Li - Fine, whatever and chickens don't moo, they cluck!
In The Battle dome
Sakura twirled her sword like her wand and then came to a sudden stop. Li had a sword in front of him and then turned it sideways.
Sakura -Just because I like you don't expect me to go easy on you
Li - -nods-
Madison - Begin!
Sakura jetted straight towards Li.
Li - Hey! -slightly ducking-
Madison - Come on Li, fight her!
Kero - Keep going Sakura!
Sakura brought the sword back to her with Li still ducked down, staring at her.
Sakura - So are we gonna battle or what?
Li got up slightly stabbing sakura in the chest.
Sakura - Hey, you cheated
Li gave her a slight smile as she aimed for his head. Li ducked just in time but Sakura got low and tripped him, pinning his shirt to the floor.
Sophia - Game
Kero - Over!!! And the winner is, Sakura!!!
Madison - Well done you two!
Sakura lifted her sword from the ground, releasing Li to get up. Sakura held her hand out.
Sakura - Need help? -smiling-
Li smiled and took Sakura's hand as she helped him up.
Kero - Well done Sakura, you're getting much stronger! Right kid?
Sophia - I'll say
Sakura - How about some ice-cream at the park?
Madison - I think I should head home, me and Sophia are doing a summer song and we gotta rehearse
Kero - Hey, can I come? Ice-cream sounds rather good, but I think I'll pass. It'll be way too boring with the brat and Sakura if you catch my drift -looking at Sakura-
Sakura - Kero!
Madison - Sure, C'mon Kero -walking to the door- We'll see you tomorrow?
Sakura - Yeah, bye Sophia! ... Shall we go?
Li - -nods-
Sakura - -smiles-
Walking Down The Street
There was a silence. Li looks at Sakura.
Li - Were you mad at me today?
Silence.
Sakura - I wouldn't say mad, I could never be mad, not at you Li. You helped me think.
Li - -smiles-
Sakura - Showran
Li - (mind: Uh-oh, She said the last name)
Sakura - Is there something you wanna tell me?
Li - (mind: UH OH) What do you mean? ...
Sakura - I feel like you're hiding something from me
Li - (mind: SHIT!) H-h-hiding something?
Sakura - Yeah
There was a grunting sound from behind them.
Sakura - -fake laughs- Hey Tori
Li - Mmm
Tori - What are you doing!?
Julia - Oh, Hey there Sakura
Sakura - Hey ...
Julian - Something wrong?
Sakura - No, it's nothing -looking over at Tori and Li, giving each other evil glares-
Julian - -smiles-
They all had an ice-cream and went their separate ways.
On The Way Home
It started to pour down raining. They ran as fast as they could and reached Li's house. They got inside and Sakura and Li were dripping wet. Li looked at Sakura and started to blush. Since Sakura had a white t-shirt on and her clothes were wet, causing them to become a little transparent.
Li -Maybe you should change ... -walking into a room-
Sakura - -slightly blushing- Maybe you're right ...
Li came back with a towel, t-shirt and some pants.
Li - Here, wear these for now
Sakura - Thanks -walks into the bathroom-
Sakura - Is this better?
Li turned around.
Li - Eh ... Sakura! Didn't I give you some pants!?
Sakura - -whining- Yeah, but their big and long! An they don't even fit the come back down as soon as I pull them up!
Li - No you're just skinny and short
Sakura - What'd you say!?
Li - Eheh he, nothing .. Shouldn't you call your brother, I'm sure he's worried
Sakura - Oh yeah ... What do I tell him?
Li - The truth
Li went and sat on the couch and Sakura went upstairs to get on the phone.
Tori - Hello?
Sakura - hey, Tori?
Tori - Yeah, what is it squirt?
Sakura - I've been abducted by aliens, so I'm staying the night at Madison's house
Tori - Whatever you say squirt
Sakura - What time do you work?
Tori - 11 am to 6 pm
Sakura - Alright, don't worry about dinner, I'm cooking tomorrow
Tori - Great, well night squirt
Sakura - Night Tori, tell dad I love him
They both hung up the phone. Sakura started to dial another number.
Madison - Hello?
Sakura - Hey Madison
Madison - Oh, Hi Sakura how come you're calling me from Li's house?
Sakura - It started pouring on our way home so I'm stuck here for the night
Madison - What about Tori?
Sakura - I told him I was staying at your house, so ... Cover for me if he calls okay?
Madison - Roger that
Sakura - Don't tell Kero!
Madison - Don't worry
Sakura - Well, I'm headed to bed, night Madison
Madison - Good night Sakura
Sakura hung up the phone. There was a knock at the door, then in walked Li, holding a tray of tea.
Li - Thirsty?
Sakura - Yeah, thank you
Li - So what did your brother say about you staying over here, let me guess, he's coming to pick you up
Sakura - -picks up her tea and sips at it- He doesn't know
Li - -starts chocking on his tea- Whaa ... Why!?
Sakura - -giggles- I told him I was abducted by aliens and was spending the night at Madison's, then I called Madison so she would cover for me if he ever called
Li - -sighs-
Sakura - What?
Li - -shaking his head- Nothing
Sakura - -smiles-
Hours Later
Sakura - Hey Li, you have any board games?
Li - Yeah
Sakura - Do you have life?
Li - (Mind: Oh shit, the game where you get married and have kids. And ... Why does she wanna play that game again?)
Sakura - Li?
Li - L-l-life?
Sakura - Yeah, it's one of my favorite games. Me Tori, Madison and Julian would play all the time, unfortunately, Tori would always win
Li - Hold on -leaves the room-
Li returned with the game board Life in his hands and sat it on he floor.
Sakura - Could I set it up?
Li - Sure
Sakura started to search for certain pieces to make the game board complete.
A Couple Hours Later
Sakura - You are now married with two kids, a boy and a girl
Li - Heh he -sweatdrops-
Sakura - I'm bored with life, you wanna just talk?
Li - Ok (Mind: YES! WHOOO HOO!)
Sakura climbed onto Li's bed. Li went over and sat on the chair to his desk. It was now going on 10:30.
Sakura - Li ...
Li - Yeah?
Sakura - If you really were to get married ... And really have two children ... What would their names be?
Li - I would have two kids, a boy and a girl, their names would be Fai and--
Sakura - Cherry?
Li - How ... Did you ...
Sakura - Li, I know you all too well not to know -smiles-
Li - -smiles- (Mind: The innocent angel smiles)
Sakura - You know Showran
Li - (Mind: Showran? .. Uh oh) Yeah?
Sakura - You have a golden smile and you only smile for me
Li - -turns his head away from her- Who says my smile is for you?
Sakura - I know you're smile is for me because I said so, and ... I know you love me
Li - -smiles- I know I do too
Sakura - So ... Have you seen Cherry?
Li - No, not lately
Sakura - Oh
Li - I assume you remember now?
Sakura - You could say that
Li - You took my advice and I was right wasn't I? I'm always right aren't I?
Sakura - Who said that, were they conscious when they said that?
Li - -laughs-
Bedtime
Sakura has fallen asleep on the bed with Li next to her. She had fell asleep with her head on his chest and his arm wrapped around her. It had took him a while to fall asleep, but he was finally sleep, free to dream about whatever it is that decided to enter his dreams. Wei walked up to the door.
Wei - Isn't that sweet?
Sakura nudged closer too Li.
Wei - Mistress sakura was the only one able to make master Showran smile -smiles-
Wei walked on.
