In a corner of the multi-verse where things that can't happen routinely do, and where realties meet in a truly bizarre nexus there is now a world populated by people who are in one of two classes; those with martial training and powers beyond the keen of normal man, and those who watch them. The fighters in this world meet in competition constantly striving for goal they themselves cannot define, only hunger for. Yet these men and women are still human for all their powers and given to the same fallibilities that trouble the rest of the planet. So every once in a while the hunger gets a little, diverted

"No miss I'm sure, you're next. "
"" Sakura Yugure (as she had taken to calling her self) wasn't quite sure how to react to this. It was the 2002 Fanfic of the Millennium tournament, and quite to her surprise Dark Sakura (as everyone else called her) was in the finals. Actually she was next in line for the championship; there was only one other competitor. The girl in question was average height for an average seventeen-year-old Japanese schoolgirl, but she was anything but that. Sakura Yugure was the product of one Sakura Kasugano's stored desire, anger, hatred, needs, and everything else the young woman ever repressed. As a reflection of that her skin was a little darker than the original's, her eyes flashed a little more intensely, like there was something behind them, waiting to be let out .
After gaping for a few moments Dark Sakura found her tongue. "Hhow no, why um what happened? Ryu-san was my next opponent and I was really looking forward to fighting him! "
The short man looked at the young woman in front of him from behind thick glasses, and a thicker desk. He couldn't imagine ANYONE wanting to fight Ryu, but whatever "He withdrew miss, apparently a case of dehydration and heatstroke took him out of the running. "
Sakura Yugure gaped openly. Ryu? THE Ryu, her Ryu? Dehydrated, heatstroke ? Oblivious to her openmouthed amazement the arranger went on. "Not only Mr. Ryu, but Mr. Masters, Blanka, Guy, Guile, Vega, Master Bison (he insists on being called that I have no idea why), actually the entire male Street Fighter half of the tournament, and most of the King of Fighters side, either withdrew or was counted as having lost. "
After several minutes Dark Sakura regained the power of speech. " um who did they lose to?" Was Sensei on the loose? Was it that Rugal? Did Terry Bogard have an evil side like Ryu-san? Or was it that Iori, gone Blood Riot?
The man behind the desk checked a few things. "Hmmm, it seems that the ones who lost, lost to one Shiranui Mai. "
" Oh *HELL* no! "

The arena, ten minutes later .
The finalists weren't even in the ring and the crowd was already on their feet. Some 30,000 people in the stadium, and more filling the nosebleed seats every minute. Binoculars, cameras, and video recorders (the later with zoom lenses) were nearly universal, even among those in the front row .
Three state-of-the-art whisper helicopters circled the arena providing aerial coverage of the fans, and soon the action all the fans had paid an immense amount of money to see. The images they took were displayed on four of six immense digital screens, as the other two blatantly advertised the glories of the sponsoring corporations .
In a sheltered (read: mystically and physically shielded) box in one of the two most optimum viewing areas a beautiful green haired woman in a skintight black halter-top and mini skirt shared a cup of wine with another woman. The second lady being taller, more obviously muscled, and with short blond hair, cut in a tomboy-ish fashion, and dressed in fabulously tailored vermilion silk suit .
"That," the blond woman said after downing her third glass of reddish liquid. "Is fantastic stuff. I'd make a mint on that alone at the bar. "
"Why thank you King dear, House Aensland prides itself on the vintages of its wines." Replied the free willed sensual entity named Morrigan Aensland .
"Is there any way I could get a hold of a few barrels?" The kick boxer asked. Then, noting the hungrily evil smile forming on her newly discovered friends perfect lips, she hurriedly added. "That doesn't involve me giving over my soul or several years of servitude to you? "
Morrigan pouted adorably. "Well, after our friends finish this little bout we will see "
King smiled impishly. "Perhaps a small wager is in order? "
The green haired demoness grinned back, and leaned forward, her breasts straining at the confines of the top. "Oh I do have a weak spot for gambling my dear. I assume you wish to wager on the outcome of the upcoming battle? "
The blond fighter nodded, still grinning, and leaning closer to the gorgeous demon woman, noting the hunger in Morrigan's eyes and knowing it was returned her own. "Why yes I do mean just that. My old teammate is quite the fighter you know. "
Morrigan pursed her lips sensually, her expression mixed evenly between contemplation and invitation for a kiss. "And I myself favor my adopted sister, she WAS trained by Gouki and me you know "
King was tempted to mention that both the succubus AND the demonic martial artist in question had been defeated already during this tournament, but decided not to ruin the rapidly-warming mood by doing so. However a blast of insanely loud drums did it anyway. True to his half-Japanese roots Ken Masters had hired twenty full taiko drum bands to produce the theme for the final combatants. Of course he had originally intended for himself and Ryu to BE the final combatants, but things had happened. Specifically Ryu had withdrawn directly after fighting Shiranui Mai in a hidden match, and Ken had met, and nearly been killed by, the Orochi fury of Yagami Iori .
Now Robert Garcia, who had elected to not participate in the tournament, was alone on the final stage, announcing the Mr. Masters was recovering nicely and was expected to be out of the hospital in a month or so. Both Thai boxer and demoness reflected on the comparison between the superbly talented, but brash and arrogant Ken, and the ruthless animalistic style of the Yagami heir. King shivered slightly in memory of her fight with the crazy guy, and felt a pang of sympathy for Ken, Morrigan shivered slightly in hunger of how that animalism could be directed to other interests and didn't give a damn about the loyal-to-his-wife-curse-him Ken .
The pounding of the drums continued, a full chorus of feudal Japan instruments heralding the entrance of Yugure Sakura, the schoolgirl warrior, the adopted Aensland, Dark Sakura. The dusky skinned girl approached Robert and bowed, and then turned to the referee, a man dressed totally in black like a Kabuki stagehand, and bowed deeply to him .
Abruptly the drums silenced, and the three million dollar sound system was redirected into a barrage of rhythm and sound called "More Human than Human" by Rob Zombie .
In her private chair King covered her face and tried to disappear. "Good lord Mai" she whispered in humiliation, then through her pall of shame noticed Morrigan resting her chin on one hand and tapping her foot with a dreamy smile .
"King luv, what is this sound akin to the roar of a thousand demons in the throes of bloodlust?" The demon princess asked absently. King blinked, then realized she was talking about the music .
"Ah, uh, techno-metal I believe is what this falls into." The attractive blond fighter answered delicately .
Morrigan smiled widely. "I like it! "
*** *
At the perfect moment Shiranui Mai leapt from the central most helicopter, her red and white silk costume flaring dangerously close to exhibitionism, as she fell the forty some feet from the helicopter to land in her position right of Robert Garcia, bowing extravagantly to the crowd, obviously loving the attention the crowd equally loved giving to her. Her body is still something to admire, Dark Sakura grudgingly admitted. Long shapely legs ending in a round, toned, and shapely ass. Tan skin under which hard muscle was hinted at. Her world famous chest bounced a jiggled freely, causing a solar flare class explosion of flashes from the crowd. Long, glossy, red-brown hair swirled around her as the ninja girl brushed her bangs from her adorable face and blew a kiss to the crowd. Mai then turned to the pony-tailed fighter/businessman and bowed in the most respectful manner possible, doing the same to both Korobuku (the referee) and her opponent .
Though when she rose from the last bow, a coy, knowing smile was obvious on her features. Dark Sakura was not amused .
"How in the world did you get by all those fighters??" she asked the kunoichi. "Some of them weren't even in your bracket! What were you doing, *ambushing* them? "
"In a manner of speaking, I suppose," Mai giggled. "After all, all the fighters I 'defeated' were men... "
Yugure, shocked, took a moment to think back. King, Vice, Chun Li, and back in the first round Ibuki... yup, all my opponents have been *girls! * But... what does that have to do with anything... An unbelievable notion struck her then, but she couldn't really think it was possible, considering that at least one of the men in question was *Ryu, * who for so many years had seemed completely impervious to any non-combative advances .
"H-hold on now...." she stammered at the kunoichi, her usual fighting stance drooping in astonishment. "You can't seriously mean... You *couldn't!* Not *all* of them! Not even *you!!* "
Mai winked at her before turning away. "Why not, it was fun! And you know, that birthmark of Ryu's is *really* cute. "
Wha...?!?! Yugure thought, before a memory registered. Back in the earliest days after her creation, she'd spent three days with Ryu at his mountain cabin and the hot springs nearby. On one of those days, she'd been going *to* the hot springs for a soak just when Ryu had been coming *out* of them. She'd seen his birthmark then, on a spot normally covered by his gi belt, which meant.. .
"And so was the way his eyes roll up into the back of his head when you kiss his thighs in just the right way. He's so cute!" The kunoichi said over her shoulder with a shake of her sexy hips .
*** *
In Tokyo's finest hospital a battered Ken Masters looked over at the hospital bed next to him with a truly amazed expression. Trying hard not to exist, Ryu covered himself with a magazine, shaking the IV in his left arm .
It was all the confirmation his lifelong friend needed. The dyed blond man looked back toward the TV .
"Damn Ryu not bad!" He said flashing a huge grin and a thumbs up to the fighter .
Ryu concentrated slightly harder on wishing himself out of existence .
*** *
A quick lunge forwards took her to within striking distance .
*CRACK!!* Was the noise of Yugure's open palm meeting Mai's creamy ass cheek .
"YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!" the schoolgirl screamed .
Mai rubbed her butt briefly, skipped away a few steps out of reach, smiling the entire time. "Why would I take back the *truth? * Didn't you know that already? "
"OOH! I just knew it!" screamed Dark Sakura. "After I saw you on that DVD I *knew* you were as bad as everyone said! "
For a moment the gorgeous ninja girl's eyebrow's knitted in confusion. "Sorry, don't quite follow "
"Do you have any concept of how hard it was to get that away from Guy? He's no pushover you know! I had to teleport inside his dojo and steal it! I saw how easy you tore off your clothes and did, um," the schoolgirl warrior paused and blushed a second. "<I>Things</I> to Yuri, Chun-Li-san, and Twin Sis! "
Mai remained confused. "That's funny," She mused. "I thought Guy mailed me the only copy "
*** *
Elsewhere in the arena an irate Maki, Sakazaki Yuri, and Kasugano Sakura summarily beat an unresisting Bushin ninja within an inch of his life .
*** *
Inside their private chamber King turned to her green haired hostess .
"I have to thank you for that copy by the way." The kickboxer said. "It was truly "
The blond woman trailed off, already daydreaming about her former teammates' impossibly sexy bodies writhing against each other. Morrigan's eyes grew bright with hunger. Running a gloss red nail along the inside of the other woman's thigh she purred back. "The pleasure was all mine "
*** *
The kunoichi hurriedly recovered. "Hey that wasn't all my fault, that sake' was drugged you know." Her face took on a mischievous smile. "Besides I bet you still have it, don't you? Bet you loved watching all that didn't you? After all Ibuki and Kasumi filled me in on all the details of what happened up in Makoto's dojo before you got separated from your 'twin sis'! "
Dark Sakura's cheeks started burning with an intensity that isn't normally seen outside of volcanoes. Because she had indeed watched the video, several times in fact, after all, it was as if everything that had happened during that little exercise was happening to her
"Face it Yu-chan." Mai grinned. "You're just jealous because I've done things you want to, but haven't got to! "
The younger girl growled deep in her throat. Yugure Sakura now had *no* intention of playing in this fight, this upstart kunoichi (apparently forgetting or ignoring the fact that Mai was both older and more experienced than her) had gotten lucky and screwed her way to the finals, while she had to fight some of the toughest fights in her life! There was no way that a disciple of Gouki was going to fall prey to some flighty little nympho ninja girl! (Apparently forgetting as well that Mai was exactly right in her guess as to Yugure's wants) The black haired young woman shifted her customary fighting stance to a different one; left foot forward, right leg back, rotating back and forth on the balls of her feet. Her right held above her left both hands relaxed, it was Gouki's stance. Yugure Sakura was ready for true battle .
Meanwhile Mai was busy blowing kisses to the crowd .
Dark Sakura was at this point so mad at her opponent that she tapped into her Satsu power and Ashura warped behind the over-endowed ninja girl, legs bent slightly right arm dipping in preparation for a vicious uppercut. However when she materialized and launched herself forward, Yugure saw, not Shiranui Mai's exposed back, but a corner of her shoulder spinning away -
Then someone hit her between the shoulders with a car .
Or at least that's what the ninja girl's hooking wheel kick felt like. A sudden flash of clarity ripped through Dark Sakura's mind. She had fallen for it, just like all the other assuredly had. The skimpy get up, the bubble headed attitude, the flightiness, she had believed it all, and now was paying for it .
Mai followed through on her wheel kick, dropping her right leg just in front of the stumbling Dark Sakura, allowing the kunoichi to step forward and twist at the hips, slamming a powerful left forearm into the dark schoolgirl's side, then following up by hitting her left arm with her right, transferring the momentum, blasting Yugure across the arena. Dark Sakura was bent sideways as she flew, recovered, and then flipped (to several thousand fanboys' nosebleeding delight) her head over her heels. She was far too angry to be embarrassed at the fact that over forty thousand people had just seen the black cotton of her panties (unlike most of her clothes Yugure preferred undergarments to be real, that way they wouldn't disappear if she was knocked unconscious or lost focus too much). The second the young fighter's feet touched the ground Dark Sakura was charging forward, only to see the Shiranui kunoichi's foot inbound at a high rate of airborne speed .
Mai didn't see her opponent dodge and didn't feel the impact of a block which meant -
The Satsu schoolgirl ended her Ashura teleport short, already focusing her dark ki in between her cupped hands, a ball of energy forming, expanding -
The Shiranui kunoichi twisted her perfect hips, focusing power through her costume charging it, igniting -
"GOU-HADOU! "
"RYU-EN-BU! "
Satsu charged fireball collided with ninja powered fire wave, and an explosion of ki knocked both fighters away, Mai rolling backwards instinctively, as the black haired girl crossed her arms and tensed them, deflecting the force rather than avoiding it. The two women both recovered at the same time though, locked gazes, and charged .
Two blurred jabs from Sakura started the engagement, both of which the red haired kunoichi deflected with her left hand. Mai cut loose a right hand slash with her steel fan aimed at Yugure's temple. The black haired girl ducked and came up with a short right uppercut to the ninja woman's stomach. The bouncy young woman deflected the low punch with her left knee, then snapping the same leg forward and down to Dark Sakura's right shin .
As much an innovator as her "sister" the Satsu girl skipped her leg clear of the ninja girl's kick, the snapped a left hard round house to the bouncy woman's right side. Unable to get clear, Mai was forced to drop to one knee and slam her shoulder into the kick. Dark Sakura grinned, and twisted around, cutting loose with a powerful left back kick, smiling even wider when she felt her foot connect with the kunoichi's stomach .
Mai rolled clear, and then to a crouch, seeing the young girl charge forward, bend down until her fist nearly touched the ground, the rocket forward and up, fist alight with Satsu fire. The copper haired ninja woman slid sideways, the dark schoolgirl's fierce blow just barely missing the red dressed ninja girl. But the kunoichi was now at her back. Dark Sakura knew that a ninja, (large breasted, bouncy in body and attitude kunoichi or not,) at your back was bad news . She was right .
Though not in exactly the way she had thought .
Predictably the young fighters skirt had flared up when she began to descend from her uppercut, and Mai opened her fan and spun it once, slicing the young girl's skirt neatly open. Then the kunoichi's left hand swung around -
-And swatted the young girl's cute butt firmly .
"Ah! Hey!" Yelped Dark Sakura when she landed. Resisting the impulse to rub her stinging (kind of, in almost a good way) posterior, the Satsu schoolgirl dropped back into Gouki's defensive stance. "What was that? "
"Now we're even." Mai responded sweetly, smiling behind her fan. "And you should wear your skirt like that more often, with such a tight little butt, I bet you have to defend yourself from pinches constantly! And no one would be able to fight you without trying to get a peek at those adorable panties! Very sexy! "
A thousand insults about her opponents sex drive came to mind, but were quickly killed by the single memory of several nights spent in a particular castle in the realm of Makai. And in a penthouse in Italy. And before she had separated from her sister, in the Rindou dojo in northern Japan, and in her own room with that other ninja girl -
Dark Sakura shook her head. This was ridiculous! One swat to her ass and she was thinking about all that? Well, okay, one swat and the constant flashes of the DVD she had forcibly recovered from Guy showing her twin sister and this same woman Yugure was fighting in the most heartfelt throes of passion. It was, distracting. Disturbing was another word for it as well, and most things that left Yugure Sakura unsettled, she hit, repeatedly .
Dark Sakura roared cutely and charged again. She started with a mid power right hook punch to the stomach; Mai stepped back, deflecting with her left hand; the schoolgirl crossed her hand back in, then up and into a backfist; Mai parried with her steel fan; the Satsu girl suddenly reversed her strike into a grab, holding the Shiranui woman's wrist, pulling herself up, twisting, and landing both feet in the Shiranui woman's gut, then exploding off knocking Mai away, and sending the buxom fighter rolling .
The red haired woman rolled to her feet, and much to Yugure's dismay, the older woman was grinning .
"Now this is fun !" Mai exclaimed. "None of the guys gave me this good a fight! "
Dark Sakura gaped for a moment. Giggling Mai leapt into the air, a tight ball ready to explode. Never one to back down from a challenge, the young girl did the same, meeting Mai at the apex of her jump. What followed defied most laws of physics, not that anyone in the crowd minded. Because both shapely ninja woman, and lissome schoolgirl warrior exchanged a dizzying barrage of punches and kicks in mid air, continuing to fight as they began to fall. Both fighters had taken some light hits when Dark Sakura took a heavy roundhouse kick to the side that spun her around .
Adapting in her customarily frightening speed, Yugure twisted off the ninja girl's blow and into her custom whirlwind kick. The first blow caught Mai in the shoulder, rotating both young women around the second slammed into her back knocking her away, and by the time Dark Sakura was ready for the last kick they both had touched the ground. The world's strongest schoolgirl twisted her hips around, rotating on her left foot to explode her right up and out -
The mistress of Shiranui ryu ninjutsu snapped her left foot up and inward, a short hook kick that knocked the tomboy's blow away, spinning the young woman to face the kunoichi. Flowing like water Mai snapped her left foot down, rotated on the ball of her left foot, and blasted her own reverse spinning back kick into Dark Sakura's side. Before the young fighter could roll away the flame haired kunoichi shot forward, grabbed the short haired girl's blouse with her leading left hand and exploded forward with a brutally powerful roundhouse fan strike -
That stopped maybe an inch from the young girl's adorable face. Instead Mai snapped her fan open blinding Dark Sakura for a moment, then swept her feet out in her classic spinning sweep. Yugure flailed wildly as her cute butt hit the arena floor, her skirt flaring even more than it customarily did due to Mai's slash. With grace world-class dancers would have envied Shiranui Mai spun up and away snapping her fans open and posing in a phenomenal combination of sexual beauty and martial skill .
The Satsu schoolgirl was enraged. The ninja girl was playing with her! Dark Sakura knew that hit would have nearly knocked her out, and the kunoichi had pulled back to play with her some more! That was it !
Black ki flared around the dark schoolgirl dangerously .
First Ryu .
Then the whole tournament .
Then her attitude .
The whole skirt thing .
THAT WAS IT !
The world around her faded into a red haze. Her body suffused with the Wave of the Lethal Intent, Yugure Sakura arose, crackling with dark ki. She took a few steps forward and the last step she began <I>floating</I>. Mai saw the aura and inhaled deeply, this was going to be tricky
"Mai! Ma te o! "
What the hell ?
Leaping over the force barriers that separated the crowd from the arena came Andy Bogard. His long blond hair flying in the wind, muscles flexing as he vaulted in front of the red haired kunoichi doing his best to strike a heroic pose. The kunoichi blinked for a second, then got angry, very, very, very angry .
"How dare you!" Mai shrieked. "I heard about what happened, you withdrew the instant you heard that I was fighting! Do you have any idea how long I waited for you? Any? "
"Mai!" The blond haired fighter replied imperiously. "I can not marry you yet! My fighting study must be first until I can redeem my Art and myself! As such it is not your place to be in these finals I should be! You might get injured and I can't have that! I promised your grandfather I would protect you! "
The red haired woman's face drained of all color. She had gone past "red with rage" and was well into the "ice cold killing rage" stage. Then Mai looked over Andy's well-muscled shoulder. Her expression turned into a smile so sweet it caused cavities .
"Of course Andy, it isn't a Japanese woman's place to fight when her man can. Why don't you start right now?" The blond man blinked. That had been easy! He turned around, looking over his shoulder at Mai. He started to speak .
"After I have won this we wi- "
He got no further .
The sky darkened and the arena was engulfed in darkness as Yugure Sakura, an entity of the Satsu no Hadou, blind with killing rage, grabbed onto Andy Bogard and began the fabled Shun-Goku-Satsu. From the sphere of black that hid the center of the arena the sound of bone crunching impacts, lots of them, could be heard .
So could the blond man's screams of agony .
*** *
Somewhere in the crowd Terry Bogard pulled his hat over his face. Next to him Joe shook his head .
"Kinda saw this coming didn't ya buddy?" The world champion Mhuay Thai kickboxer asked his friend .
"Ni-chan no baka" Terry sighed .
*** *
With no warning both the darkness and the sounds of impact ceased. Dark Sakura stood over Andy's broken, bloody form, fists still clenched, torn fuku and headband blowing in the wind, the kanji for "Heaven" appearing blood red on the back of her school blouse momentarily. Then Dark Sakura blinked, coming out of her Satsu rage, and realizing what she might have done, and then what she had done .
Here eyes widened into immense pools of horrified cuteness .
"Andy no baka!" The young fighter shrieked. "What are you doing here? Why did you get involved? YOU IDIOT ! "
A hand rested on the black haired schoolgirl's shoulder as Mai threw an arm across the younger woman's shoulders in a companionable way. Looking at Andy's unconscious, broken, and very bloody body the beautiful kunoichi shook her head .
"See what I have to put up with?" Sighed the ninja girl. "And people wonder why I say I'm lonely. "
"Well geez yeah, I mean what did he think he was-" Dark Sakura started then suddenly remembered who she was supposed to be fighting. She turned to look at the ninja girl with baffled look. Mai smiled brightly at her, then kissed the adorable young woman full on the mouth, lightly grazing her tongue against Yugure's lips .
And then skipped backwards giggling the entire time .
Dark Sakura stood stunned (memories of the DVD playing through her mind again with the reminder from the liplock) until a feeble groan from Andy brought her back to reality. Silently berating herself both for her distraction and for dropping so far into berserker rage that she'd willingly hit the wrong target, she crossed one arm over the other in a 'T' and yelled "TIME!" at Mai, then turned to Korobuko, who was standing just outside the ring. "Hey! Can we get some medical attention out here?? I don't care much for Bogard-baka but I *DON'T* want to have killed anybody!! "
The black garbed man shrugged helplessly at her. "Nobody but the fighters are allowed in the ring until the match is over," he called back, nodding at the team of paramedics by the backstage doors, just waiting for the match to be over .
For a moment the Satsu schoolgirl dithered, unsure what to do -
- then Andy, incredibly still conscious, grabbed her leg. "you... haven't won... I won't let you... fight her" he wheezed .
She scowled, then spun around, rolling backwards as she reached down and scooped up the grappling arm, planting a foot in Andy's midsection as she crouched down to his eye level. "That's NOT your decision, Bogard-baka," she growled at him. "If you wanted to be in this match, you should have had a little *COURAGE* and stayed in the tourney from the start. "
Her foot still planted in his belly and her hands now on his gi collar, she continued the backwards roll .
And flipped again, rolling right over him and continuing the revolutions as she tumbled them towards the backstage ring edge .
*** *
Back in Tokyo's finest hospital, Ken snarfed his milk. "Grrrpphht!! "
Ryu, disturbed from his earnest wish for nonexistence, looked resignedly over at Ken. "What? "
Ken choked, coughed, and waved a hand wildly at the TV, reopening several gashes Iori had given him in the process .
Ryu looked. "Oh, she's adapting your moves now? Though her skirt makes the technique much more pleasant to observe when she performs the multiple-tumble backroll throw." With a faint blush, he looked back down, now forsaking the effort for nonexistence for the attempt *not* to imagine the schoolgirl's black-cottoned behind .
*** *
Back in the arena, Dark Sakura tumbled backwards one final time, bringing her close to the ring edge, and kicked out explosively, the force of the push combining with the momentum of the roll to send Andy hurtling through the air to land in an even-more-broken heap in front of the paramedics. "Now get him OUT of my sight!!" she roared at them, a command the med techs hurriedly obeyed .
Turning back to Mai, she bowed her head, shamefaced. "Ano, Mai-san, gomen... I shouldn't have lost my temper like that, and I *really* shouldn't have beaten on your boyfriend *twice.* I..." she paused, trying to formulate her words properly.
Mai, however, was looking at Andy's body being carted away for another bout with intensive care, a place he was quite familiar with. Though Dark Sakura missed it, lost in her own reflections, the ninja woman's gaze carried the full weight of a woman who had been waiting for ten years (since she was sixteen to be exact) and finally gotten sick of it. "Believe me," She sighed. "I'll live. "
Yugure finally found her words. "Still, I should have better control than that... even *if* you were doing me *no good at all* in that respect, either in temper or..." she blushed. "In other ways. I... I *do* understand what you mean, about being lonely... Twin Sis and Onee-chan aside, there aren't that many people who understand all sides of me... the schoolgirl, the fighter, the Aensland, the..." she sighed. "the killer... "
The kanji for 'heaven' flickered in and out of visibility on the back of her blouse again as a breeze blew past - flipping her sliced skirt up again to the delight of the audience. A camera snapped behind her, and she grinned. "...But that doesn't mean I'm giving up! Happy flashbulbs! LUNAR FLARE!" she yelled, charging a fireball in *front* of her and releasing it in Chun Li's motion - snapping her whole torso flat forwards and *shoving* the ki sphere out ahead of her with both palms .
As Mai tried to jump up and evade, every flashbulb behind Dark Sakura went off, and the ninja woman wobbled in midair - it wasn't on the scale of the massively-blinding flash that Kasugano had used to win the inaugural Schoolgirl Deathmatch bout, but it *was* disorienting .
Unfortunately, Dark Sakura had jumped as well, trying to angle in a jump kick as she figured Mai would block the fireball. The two result however was the two women colliding in midair and crashing to the ground, grabbing at each other and trying for leverage. Mai didn't want to let Yugure get a good hold, considering the power advantage she could gain from anger, and Yugure didn't want to allow Mai any leverage to apply some of those painful joint locks or dislocations other shinobi and kunoichi of her acquaintance used .
They scuffled on the ground for almost thirty full seconds, their uniforms getting progressively more disheveled and disarranged. Then, just as Yugure was shooting one hand around Mai's head to grab onto her hair, the kunoichi changed tactics .
Drastically .
Or in this case perverted. Which means the upcoming tale will be filled with innuendo, debauchery, lewdness, yuri, and lemon scenes out the ass. Those offended by such material should leave now, those underage legally have to leave. Any resemblance to copyrighted characters is intentional and done in the spirit of an adult parody.

"No miss I'm sure, you're next. "
"" Sakura Yugure (as she had taken to calling her self) wasn't quite sure how to react to this. It was the 2002 Fanfic of the Millennium tournament, and quite to her surprise Dark Sakura (as everyone else called her) was in the finals. Actually she was next in line for the championship; there was only one other competitor. The girl in question was average height for an average seventeen-year-old Japanese schoolgirl, but she was anything but that. Sakura Yugure was the product of one Sakura Kasugano's stored desire, anger, hatred, needs, and everything else the young woman ever repressed. As a reflection of that her skin was a little darker than the original's, her eyes flashed a little more intensely, like there was something behind them, waiting to be let out .
After gaping for a few moments Dark Sakura found her tongue. "Hhow no, why um what happened? Ryu-san was my next opponent and I was really looking forward to fighting him! "
The short man looked at the young woman in front of him from behind thick glasses, and a thicker desk. He couldn't imagine ANYONE wanting to fight Ryu, but whatever "He withdrew miss, apparently a case of dehydration and heatstroke took him out of the running. "
Sakura Yugure gaped openly. Ryu? THE Ryu, her Ryu? Dehydrated, heatstroke ? Oblivious to her openmouthed amazement the arranger went on. "Not only Mr. Ryu, but Mr. Masters, Blanka, Guy, Guile, Vega, Master Bison (he insists on being called that I have no idea why), actually the entire male Street Fighter half of the tournament, and most of the King of Fighters side, either withdrew or was counted as having lost. "
After several minutes Dark Sakura regained the power of speech. " um who did they lose to?" Was Sensei on the loose? Was it that Rugal? Did Terry Bogard have an evil side like Ryu-san? Or was it that Iori, gone Blood Riot?
The man behind the desk checked a few things. "Hmmm, it seems that the ones who lost, lost to one Shiranui Mai. "
" Oh *HELL* no! "

The arena, ten minutes later .
The finalists weren't even in the ring and the crowd was already on their feet. Some 30,000 people in the stadium, and more filling the nosebleed seats every minute. Binoculars, cameras, and video recorders (the later with zoom lenses) were nearly universal, even among those in the front row .
Three state-of-the-art whisper helicopters circled the arena providing aerial coverage of the fans, and soon the action all the fans had paid an immense amount of money to see. The images they took were displayed on four of six immense digital screens, as the other two blatantly advertised the glories of the sponsoring corporations .
In a sheltered (read: mystically and physically shielded) box in one of the two most optimum viewing areas a beautiful green haired woman in a skintight black halter-top and mini skirt shared a cup of wine with another woman. The second lady being taller, more obviously muscled, and with short blond hair, cut in a tomboy-ish fashion, and dressed in fabulously tailored vermilion silk suit .
"That," the blond woman said after downing her third glass of reddish liquid. "Is fantastic stuff. I'd make a mint on that alone at the bar. "
"Why thank you King dear, House Aensland prides itself on the vintages of its wines." Replied the free willed sensual entity named Morrigan Aensland .
"Is there any way I could get a hold of a few barrels?" The kick boxer asked. Then, noting the hungrily evil smile forming on her newly discovered friends perfect lips, she hurriedly added. "That doesn't involve me giving over my soul or several years of servitude to you? "
Morrigan pouted adorably. "Well, after our friends finish this little bout we will see "
King smiled impishly. "Perhaps a small wager is in order? "
The green haired demoness grinned back, and leaned forward, her breasts straining at the confines of the top. "Oh I do have a weak spot for gambling my dear. I assume you wish to wager on the outcome of the upcoming battle? "
The blond fighter nodded, still grinning, and leaning closer to the gorgeous demon woman, noting the hunger in Morrigan's eyes and knowing it was returned her own. "Why yes I do mean just that. My old teammate is quite the fighter you know. "
Morrigan pursed her lips sensually, her expression mixed evenly between contemplation and invitation for a kiss. "And I myself favor my adopted sister, she WAS trained by Gouki and me you know "
King was tempted to mention that both the succubus AND the demonic martial artist in question had been defeated already during this tournament, but decided not to ruin the rapidly-warming mood by doing so. However a blast of insanely loud drums did it anyway. True to his half-Japanese roots Ken Masters had hired twenty full taiko drum bands to produce the theme for the final combatants. Of course he had originally intended for himself and Ryu to BE the final combatants, but things had happened. Specifically Ryu had withdrawn directly after fighting Shiranui Mai in a hidden match, and Ken had met, and nearly been killed by, the Orochi fury of Yagami Iori .
Now Robert Garcia, who had elected to not participate in the tournament, was alone on the final stage, announcing the Mr. Masters was recovering nicely and was expected to be out of the hospital in a month or so. Both Thai boxer and demoness reflected on the comparison between the superbly talented, but brash and arrogant Ken, and the ruthless animalistic style of the Yagami heir. King shivered slightly in memory of her fight with the crazy guy, and felt a pang of sympathy for Ken, Morrigan shivered slightly in hunger of how that animalism could be directed to other interests and didn't give a damn about the loyal-to-his-wife-curse-him Ken .
The pounding of the drums continued, a full chorus of feudal Japan instruments heralding the entrance of Yugure Sakura, the schoolgirl warrior, the adopted Aensland, Dark Sakura. The dusky skinned girl approached Robert and bowed, and then turned to the referee, a man dressed totally in black like a Kabuki stagehand, and bowed deeply to him .
Abruptly the drums silenced, and the three million dollar sound system was redirected into a barrage of rhythm and sound called "More Human than Human" by Rob Zombie .
In her private chair King covered her face and tried to disappear. "Good lord Mai" she whispered in humiliation, then through her pall of shame noticed Morrigan resting her chin on one hand and tapping her foot with a dreamy smile .
"King luv, what is this sound akin to the roar of a thousand demons in the throes of bloodlust?" The demon princess asked absently. King blinked, then realized she was talking about the music .
"Ah, uh, techno-metal I believe is what this falls into." The attractive blond fighter answered delicately .
Morrigan smiled widely. "I like it! "
*** *
At the perfect moment Shiranui Mai leapt from the central most helicopter, her red and white silk costume flaring dangerously close to exhibitionism, as she fell the forty some feet from the helicopter to land in her position right of Robert Garcia, bowing extravagantly to the crowd, obviously loving the attention the crowd equally loved giving to her. Her body is still something to admire, Dark Sakura grudgingly admitted. Long shapely legs ending in a round, toned, and shapely ass. Tan skin under which hard muscle was hinted at. Her world famous chest bounced a jiggled freely, causing a solar flare class explosion of flashes from the crowd. Long, glossy, red-brown hair swirled around her as the ninja girl brushed her bangs from her adorable face and blew a kiss to the crowd. Mai then turned to the pony-tailed fighter/businessman and bowed in the most respectful manner possible, doing the same to both Korobuku (the referee) and her opponent .
Though when she rose from the last bow, a coy, knowing smile was obvious on her features. Dark Sakura was not amused .
"How in the world did you get by all those fighters??" she asked the kunoichi. "Some of them weren't even in your bracket! What were you doing, *ambushing* them? "
"In a manner of speaking, I suppose," Mai giggled. "After all, all the fighters I 'defeated' were men... "
Yugure, shocked, took a moment to think back. King, Vice, Chun Li, and back in the first round Ibuki... yup, all my opponents have been *girls! * But... what does that have to do with anything... An unbelievable notion struck her then, but she couldn't really think it was possible, considering that at least one of the men in question was *Ryu, * who for so many years had seemed completely impervious to any non-combative advances .
"H-hold on now...." she stammered at the kunoichi, her usual fighting stance drooping in astonishment. "You can't seriously mean... You *couldn't!* Not *all* of them! Not even *you!!* "
Mai winked at her before turning away. "Why not, it was fun! And you know, that birthmark of Ryu's is *really* cute. "
Wha...?!?! Yugure thought, before a memory registered. Back in the earliest days after her creation, she'd spent three days with Ryu at his mountain cabin and the hot springs nearby. On one of those days, she'd been going *to* the hot springs for a soak just when Ryu had been coming *out* of them. She'd seen his birthmark then, on a spot normally covered by his gi belt, which meant.. .
"And so was the way his eyes roll up into the back of his head when you kiss his thighs in just the right way. He's so cute!" The kunoichi said over her shoulder with a shake of her sexy hips .
*** *
In Tokyo's finest hospital a battered Ken Masters looked over at the hospital bed next to him with a truly amazed expression. Trying hard not to exist, Ryu covered himself with a magazine, shaking the IV in his left arm .
It was all the confirmation his lifelong friend needed. The dyed blond man looked back toward the TV .
"Damn Ryu not bad!" He said flashing a huge grin and a thumbs up to the fighter .
Ryu concentrated slightly harder on wishing himself out of existence .
*** *
A quick lunge forwards took her to within striking distance .
*CRACK!!* Was the noise of Yugure's open palm meeting Mai's creamy ass cheek .
"YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!" the schoolgirl screamed .
Mai rubbed her butt briefly, skipped away a few steps out of reach, smiling the entire time. "Why would I take back the *truth? * Didn't you know that already? "
"OOH! I just knew it!" screamed Dark Sakura. "After I saw you on that DVD I *knew* you were as bad as everyone said! "
For a moment the gorgeous ninja girl's eyebrow's knitted in confusion. "Sorry, don't quite follow "
"Do you have any concept of how hard it was to get that away from Guy? He's no pushover you know! I had to teleport inside his dojo and steal it! I saw how easy you tore off your clothes and did, um," the schoolgirl warrior paused and blushed a second. "<I>Things</I> to Yuri, Chun-Li-san, and Twin Sis! "
Mai remained confused. "That's funny," She mused. "I thought Guy mailed me the only copy "
*** *
Elsewhere in the arena an irate Maki, Sakazaki Yuri, and Kasugano Sakura summarily beat an unresisting Bushin ninja within an inch of his life .
*** *
Inside their private chamber King turned to her green haired hostess .
"I have to thank you for that copy by the way." The kickboxer said. "It was truly "
The blond woman trailed off, already daydreaming about her former teammates' impossibly sexy bodies writhing against each other. Morrigan's eyes grew bright with hunger. Running a gloss red nail along the inside of the other woman's thigh she purred back. "The pleasure was all mine "
*** *
The kunoichi hurriedly recovered. "Hey that wasn't all my fault, that sake' was drugged you know." Her face took on a mischievous smile. "Besides I bet you still have it, don't you? Bet you loved watching all that didn't you? After all Ibuki and Kasumi filled me in on all the details of what happened up in Makoto's dojo before you got separated from your 'twin sis'! "
Dark Sakura's cheeks started burning with an intensity that isn't normally seen outside of volcanoes. Because she had indeed watched the video, several times in fact, after all, it was as if everything that had happened during that little exercise was happening to her
"Face it Yu-chan." Mai grinned. "You're just jealous because I've done things you want to, but haven't got to! "
The younger girl growled deep in her throat. Yugure Sakura now had *no* intention of playing in this fight, this upstart kunoichi (apparently forgetting or ignoring the fact that Mai was both older and more experienced than her) had gotten lucky and screwed her way to the finals, while she had to fight some of the toughest fights in her life! There was no way that a disciple of Gouki was going to fall prey to some flighty little nympho ninja girl! (Apparently forgetting as well that Mai was exactly right in her guess as to Yugure's wants) The black haired young woman shifted her customary fighting stance to a different one; left foot forward, right leg back, rotating back and forth on the balls of her feet. Her right held above her left both hands relaxed, it was Gouki's stance. Yugure Sakura was ready for true battle .
Meanwhile Mai was busy blowing kisses to the crowd .
Dark Sakura was at this point so mad at her opponent that she tapped into her Satsu power and Ashura warped behind the over-endowed ninja girl, legs bent slightly right arm dipping in preparation for a vicious uppercut. However when she materialized and launched herself forward, Yugure saw, not Shiranui Mai's exposed back, but a corner of her shoulder spinning away -
Then someone hit her between the shoulders with a car .
Or at least that's what the ninja girl's hooking wheel kick felt like. A sudden flash of clarity ripped through Dark Sakura's mind. She had fallen for it, just like all the other assuredly had. The skimpy get up, the bubble headed attitude, the flightiness, she had believed it all, and now was paying for it .
Mai followed through on her wheel kick, dropping her right leg just in front of the stumbling Dark Sakura, allowing the kunoichi to step forward and twist at the hips, slamming a powerful left forearm into the dark schoolgirl's side, then following up by hitting her left arm with her right, transferring the momentum, blasting Yugure across the arena. Dark Sakura was bent sideways as she flew, recovered, and then flipped (to several thousand fanboys' nosebleeding delight) her head over her heels. She was far too angry to be embarrassed at the fact that over forty thousand people had just seen the black cotton of her panties (unlike most of her clothes Yugure preferred undergarments to be real, that way they wouldn't disappear if she was knocked unconscious or lost focus too much). The second the young fighter's feet touched the ground Dark Sakura was charging forward, only to see the Shiranui kunoichi's foot inbound at a high rate of airborne speed .
Mai didn't see her opponent dodge and didn't feel the impact of a block which meant -
The Satsu schoolgirl ended her Ashura teleport short, already focusing her dark ki in between her cupped hands, a ball of energy forming, expanding -
The Shiranui kunoichi twisted her perfect hips, focusing power through her costume charging it, igniting -
"GOU-HADOU! "
"RYU-EN-BU! "
Satsu charged fireball collided with ninja powered fire wave, and an explosion of ki knocked both fighters away, Mai rolling backwards instinctively, as the black haired girl crossed her arms and tensed them, deflecting the force rather than avoiding it. The two women both recovered at the same time though, locked gazes, and charged .
Two blurred jabs from Sakura started the engagement, both of which the red haired kunoichi deflected with her left hand. Mai cut loose a right hand slash with her steel fan aimed at Yugure's temple. The black haired girl ducked and came up with a short right uppercut to the ninja woman's stomach. The bouncy young woman deflected the low punch with her left knee, then snapping the same leg forward and down to Dark Sakura's right shin .
As much an innovator as her "sister" the Satsu girl skipped her leg clear of the ninja girl's kick, the snapped a left hard round house to the bouncy woman's right side. Unable to get clear, Mai was forced to drop to one knee and slam her shoulder into the kick. Dark Sakura grinned, and twisted around, cutting loose with a powerful left back kick, smiling even wider when she felt her foot connect with the kunoichi's stomach .
Mai rolled clear, and then to a crouch, seeing the young girl charge forward, bend down until her fist nearly touched the ground, the rocket forward and up, fist alight with Satsu fire. The copper haired ninja woman slid sideways, the dark schoolgirl's fierce blow just barely missing the red dressed ninja girl. But the kunoichi was now at her back. Dark Sakura knew that a ninja, (large breasted, bouncy in body and attitude kunoichi or not,) at your back was bad news . She was right .
Though not in exactly the way she had thought .
Predictably the young fighters skirt had flared up when she began to descend from her uppercut, and Mai opened her fan and spun it once, slicing the young girl's skirt neatly open. Then the kunoichi's left hand swung around -
-And swatted the young girl's cute butt firmly .
"Ah! Hey!" Yelped Dark Sakura when she landed. Resisting the impulse to rub her stinging (kind of, in almost a good way) posterior, the Satsu schoolgirl dropped back into Gouki's defensive stance. "What was that? "
"Now we're even." Mai responded sweetly, smiling behind her fan. "And you should wear your skirt like that more often, with such a tight little butt, I bet you have to defend yourself from pinches constantly! And no one would be able to fight you without trying to get a peek at those adorable panties! Very sexy! "
A thousand insults about her opponents sex drive came to mind, but were quickly killed by the single memory of several nights spent in a particular castle in the realm of Makai. And in a penthouse in Italy. And before she had separated from her sister, in the Rindou dojo in northern Japan, and in her own room with that other ninja girl -
Dark Sakura shook her head. This was ridiculous! One swat to her ass and she was thinking about all that? Well, okay, one swat and the constant flashes of the DVD she had forcibly recovered from Guy showing her twin sister and this same woman Yugure was fighting in the most heartfelt throes of passion. It was, distracting. Disturbing was another word for it as well, and most things that left Yugure Sakura unsettled, she hit, repeatedly .
Dark Sakura roared cutely and charged again. She started with a mid power right hook punch to the stomach; Mai stepped back, deflecting with her left hand; the schoolgirl crossed her hand back in, then up and into a backfist; Mai parried with her steel fan; the Satsu girl suddenly reversed her strike into a grab, holding the Shiranui woman's wrist, pulling herself up, twisting, and landing both feet in the Shiranui woman's gut, then exploding off knocking Mai away, and sending the buxom fighter rolling .
The red haired woman rolled to her feet, and much to Yugure's dismay, the older woman was grinning .
"Now this is fun !" Mai exclaimed. "None of the guys gave me this good a fight! "
Dark Sakura gaped for a moment. Giggling Mai leapt into the air, a tight ball ready to explode. Never one to back down from a challenge, the young girl did the same, meeting Mai at the apex of her jump. What followed defied most laws of physics, not that anyone in the crowd minded. Because both shapely ninja woman, and lissome schoolgirl warrior exchanged a dizzying barrage of punches and kicks in mid air, continuing to fight as they began to fall. Both fighters had taken some light hits when Dark Sakura took a heavy roundhouse kick to the side that spun her around .
Adapting in her customarily frightening speed, Yugure twisted off the ninja girl's blow and into her custom whirlwind kick. The first blow caught Mai in the shoulder, rotating both young women around the second slammed into her back knocking her away, and by the time Dark Sakura was ready for the last kick they both had touched the ground. The world's strongest schoolgirl twisted her hips around, rotating on her left foot to explode her right up and out -
The mistress of Shiranui ryu ninjutsu snapped her left foot up and inward, a short hook kick that knocked the tomboy's blow away, spinning the young woman to face the kunoichi. Flowing like water Mai snapped her left foot down, rotated on the ball of her left foot, and blasted her own reverse spinning back kick into Dark Sakura's side. Before the young fighter could roll away the flame haired kunoichi shot forward, grabbed the short haired girl's blouse with her leading left hand and exploded forward with a brutally powerful roundhouse fan strike -
That stopped maybe an inch from the young girl's adorable face. Instead Mai snapped her fan open blinding Dark Sakura for a moment, then swept her feet out in her classic spinning sweep. Yugure flailed wildly as her cute butt hit the arena floor, her skirt flaring even more than it customarily did due to Mai's slash. With grace world-class dancers would have envied Shiranui Mai spun up and away snapping her fans open and posing in a phenomenal combination of sexual beauty and martial skill .
The Satsu schoolgirl was enraged. The ninja girl was playing with her! Dark Sakura knew that hit would have nearly knocked her out, and the kunoichi had pulled back to play with her some more! That was it !
Black ki flared around the dark schoolgirl dangerously .
First Ryu .
Then the whole tournament .
Then her attitude .
The whole skirt thing .
THAT WAS IT !
The world around her faded into a red haze. Her body suffused with the Wave of the Lethal Intent, Yugure Sakura arose, crackling with dark ki. She took a few steps forward and the last step she began <I>floating</I>. Mai saw the aura and inhaled deeply, this was going to be tricky
"Mai! Ma te o! "
What the hell ?
Leaping over the force barriers that separated the crowd from the arena came Andy Bogard. His long blond hair flying in the wind, muscles flexing as he vaulted in front of the red haired kunoichi doing his best to strike a heroic pose. The kunoichi blinked for a second, then got angry, very, very, very angry .
"How dare you!" Mai shrieked. "I heard about what happened, you withdrew the instant you heard that I was fighting! Do you have any idea how long I waited for you? Any? "
"Mai!" The blond haired fighter replied imperiously. "I can not marry you yet! My fighting study must be first until I can redeem my Art and myself! As such it is not your place to be in these finals I should be! You might get injured and I can't have that! I promised your grandfather I would protect you! "
The red haired woman's face drained of all color. She had gone past "red with rage" and was well into the "ice cold killing rage" stage. Then Mai looked over Andy's well-muscled shoulder. Her expression turned into a smile so sweet it caused cavities .
"Of course Andy, it isn't a Japanese woman's place to fight when her man can. Why don't you start right now?" The blond man blinked. That had been easy! He turned around, looking over his shoulder at Mai. He started to speak .
"After I have won this we wi- "
He got no further .
The sky darkened and the arena was engulfed in darkness as Yugure Sakura, an entity of the Satsu no Hadou, blind with killing rage, grabbed onto Andy Bogard and began the fabled Shun-Goku-Satsu. From the sphere of black that hid the center of the arena the sound of bone crunching impacts, lots of them, could be heard .
So could the blond man's screams of agony .
*** *
Somewhere in the crowd Terry Bogard pulled his hat over his face. Next to him Joe shook his head .
"Kinda saw this coming didn't ya buddy?" The world champion Mhuay Thai kickboxer asked his friend .
"Ni-chan no baka" Terry sighed .
*** *
With no warning both the darkness and the sounds of impact ceased. Dark Sakura stood over Andy's broken, bloody form, fists still clenched, torn fuku and headband blowing in the wind, the kanji for "Heaven" appearing blood red on the back of her school blouse momentarily. Then Dark Sakura blinked, coming out of her Satsu rage, and realizing what she might have done, and then what she had done .
Here eyes widened into immense pools of horrified cuteness .
"Andy no baka!" The young fighter shrieked. "What are you doing here? Why did you get involved? YOU IDIOT ! "
A hand rested on the black haired schoolgirl's shoulder as Mai threw an arm across the younger woman's shoulders in a companionable way. Looking at Andy's unconscious, broken, and very bloody body the beautiful kunoichi shook her head .
"See what I have to put up with?" Sighed the ninja girl. "And people wonder why I say I'm lonely. "
"Well geez yeah, I mean what did he think he was-" Dark Sakura started then suddenly remembered who she was supposed to be fighting. She turned to look at the ninja girl with baffled look. Mai smiled brightly at her, then kissed the adorable young woman full on the mouth, lightly grazing her tongue against Yugure's lips .
And then skipped backwards giggling the entire time .
Dark Sakura stood stunned (memories of the DVD playing through her mind again with the reminder from the liplock) until a feeble groan from Andy brought her back to reality. Silently berating herself both for her distraction and for dropping so far into berserker rage that she'd willingly hit the wrong target, she crossed one arm over the other in a 'T' and yelled "TIME!" at Mai, then turned to Korobuko, who was standing just outside the ring. "Hey! Can we get some medical attention out here?? I don't care much for Bogard-baka but I *DON'T* want to have killed anybody!! "
The black garbed man shrugged helplessly at her. "Nobody but the fighters are allowed in the ring until the match is over," he called back, nodding at the team of paramedics by the backstage doors, just waiting for the match to be over .
For a moment the Satsu schoolgirl dithered, unsure what to do -
- then Andy, incredibly still conscious, grabbed her leg. "you... haven't won... I won't let you... fight her" he wheezed .
She scowled, then spun around, rolling backwards as she reached down and scooped up the grappling arm, planting a foot in Andy's midsection as she crouched down to his eye level. "That's NOT your decision, Bogard-baka," she growled at him. "If you wanted to be in this match, you should have had a little *COURAGE* and stayed in the tourney from the start. "
Her foot still planted in his belly and her hands now on his gi collar, she continued the backwards roll .
And flipped again, rolling right over him and continuing the revolutions as she tumbled them towards the backstage ring edge .
*** *
Back in Tokyo's finest hospital, Ken snarfed his milk. "Grrrpphht!! "
Ryu, disturbed from his earnest wish for nonexistence, looked resignedly over at Ken. "What? "
Ken choked, coughed, and waved a hand wildly at the TV, reopening several gashes Iori had given him in the process .
Ryu looked. "Oh, she's adapting your moves now? Though her skirt makes the technique much more pleasant to observe when she performs the multiple-tumble backroll throw." With a faint blush, he looked back down, now forsaking the effort for nonexistence for the attempt *not* to imagine the schoolgirl's black-cottoned behind .
*** *
Back in the arena, Dark Sakura tumbled backwards one final time, bringing her close to the ring edge, and kicked out explosively, the force of the push combining with the momentum of the roll to send Andy hurtling through the air to land in an even-more-broken heap in front of the paramedics. "Now get him OUT of my sight!!" she roared at them, a command the med techs hurriedly obeyed .
Turning back to Mai, she bowed her head, shamefaced. "Ano, Mai-san, gomen... I shouldn't have lost my temper like that, and I *really* shouldn't have beaten on your boyfriend *twice.* I..." she paused, trying to formulate her words properly.
Mai, however, was looking at Andy's body being carted away for another bout with intensive care, a place he was quite familiar with. Though Dark Sakura missed it, lost in her own reflections, the ninja woman's gaze carried the full weight of a woman who had been waiting for ten years (since she was sixteen to be exact) and finally gotten sick of it. "Believe me," She sighed. "I'll live. "
Yugure finally found her words. "Still, I should have better control than that... even *if* you were doing me *no good at all* in that respect, either in temper or..." she blushed. "In other ways. I... I *do* understand what you mean, about being lonely... Twin Sis and Onee-chan aside, there aren't that many people who understand all sides of me... the schoolgirl, the fighter, the Aensland, the..." she sighed. "the killer... "
The kanji for 'heaven' flickered in and out of visibility on the back of her blouse again as a breeze blew past - flipping her sliced skirt up again to the delight of the audience. A camera snapped behind her, and she grinned. "...But that doesn't mean I'm giving up! Happy flashbulbs! LUNAR FLARE!" she yelled, charging a fireball in *front* of her and releasing it in Chun Li's motion - snapping her whole torso flat forwards and *shoving* the ki sphere out ahead of her with both palms .
As Mai tried to jump up and evade, every flashbulb behind Dark Sakura went off, and the ninja woman wobbled in midair - it wasn't on the scale of the massively-blinding flash that Kasugano had used to win the inaugural Schoolgirl Deathmatch bout, but it *was* disorienting .
Unfortunately, Dark Sakura had jumped as well, trying to angle in a jump kick as she figured Mai would block the fireball. The two result however was the two women colliding in midair and crashing to the ground, grabbing at each other and trying for leverage. Mai didn't want to let Yugure get a good hold, considering the power advantage she could gain from anger, and Yugure didn't want to allow Mai any leverage to apply some of those painful joint locks or dislocations other shinobi and kunoichi of her acquaintance used .
They scuffled on the ground for almost thirty full seconds, their uniforms getting progressively more disheveled and disarranged. Then, just as Yugure was shooting one hand around Mai's head to grab onto her hair, the kunoichi changed tactics .
Drastically .
