#Sakura Kasugano
Request (If I haven't sent this one): How about Makoto and Sakura from Street Fighter having a rival to lovers relationship with a M!S/O?
I do not believe you have. And I had a blast writing this, even if I went WAAAAAY overboard with Sakura's half.
Now! Your wish is my command!
Tumblr media
You and Sakura met, not through any normal or socially accepted meeting.
But through a street fight that Sakura had just buttoned up after which you showed up.
Sakura, of course, was not the type to back down from a challenge, especially with someone who knew what they were doing.
Little did she know that she may have been fighting a bit above her weight class.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
You let out a hiss of superheated air as flame ignited upon your skin.
“Muay Thai is the art of eight limbs, hard power in one of its purest forms. Now, allow me to show you why that is.”
After that, things went black for Sakura until she woke up three days later, feeling like she got run over by a semi-truck.
“Oooh-ow, ow, ow, did anyone catch the plate on that truck?” Sakura groaned as she sat up, her ribs feeling as if Ryu himself did a full power Shin Shoryuken on her.
“Kid! Are you good!” the familiar voice of a good friend, Dan Hibiki asked, the emotion clear in his voice, and when Sakura looked at him, his face as he had tears in his eyes.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
“So you're telling me-OW! SON OF A!!! mhhm- that this new Street Fighter is a student of Sagat? THE Sagat, Emperor Of Muay Thai, one eye, pet Tiger, THAT Sagat?” Sakura asked as she had her bandages wrapped tightly by one of her friends while Dan sat outside the door.
“Yeah, that Sagat. Listen kid, this new fighter… they don’t play around. Sure, they ain’t as mean as Sagat was when he was young, but they do pack a punch as you have no doubt felt.” Dan advised, more than wary of anyone who fought like Sagat did for reasons that were obvious to those that knew the man.
“I know what you mean, what the hell did I even get hit with anyway? A bomb?” Sakura asked as she stood up, her muscles and bones being quite vocal at their displeasure with this.
“It looked like a version of Sagat’s Tiger Raid, though with much rougher technique.” a familiar, high class voice cut in from the outside.
“Karin!? What are you doing here!” Sakura exclaimed in shock.
“Come now, when would I ever miss a chance like-” Karin began to say, her signature laugh already poised and at the ready before she was cut off.
“Miss Kanzuki here has been stopping by to look in on you every day, if it wasn’t for her and her doc’s you probably would still be unconscious as opposed to up and walking around right now.” Dan stated absentmindedly, unaware of the glare the blonde was now giving him.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The next time Sakura saw you, came several months later, and it was in a place she least expected to find someone like you.
In a small convenience store, stocking shelves.
“YOU!?” Sakura nearly screeched when she saw you, placing bags of chips into their place on the shelves.
“Hello there Miss Kasugano. How are those ribs?” you asked as you stood to face her.
“More than ready for round two if that's what you're asking?” Sakura asked, ready and raring for a rematch.
“Tempting. Unfortunately, I must decline. I have a shift to work.” you declared simply before returning to your work.
Sakura was, understandably, left confused by this.
Wasn’t this the same person that, only a few months ago, beat her into unconsciousness for three days straight in the middle of a street?
Why in the world were they practicing restraint now!
“So, how did someone like you end up working in a place like this?” Sakura asked you as she stood with her arms crossed.
“My teacher taught me that the greatest strength and measure of a fighter is not how hard or fast they hit or the technique they do it with, but their humility, their respect to others, and their discipline. The owner treats me well, allows me access to the roof for practice, with room and board as payment for my work. In turn, I work the counter, protect the shop, and ensure that if any fights were to break out that they would be put to a stop.” you answered succinctly.
“Wait, if you are paid in room and board as opposed to money, then how do you pay for food? And Medicine after a fight?” Sakura asked.
“With my winnings.” you declared before standing and beginning to walk away.
“And what if you lose?” Sakura asked.
“I starve, and I hurt until I win again. However, I have yet to lose since arriving here. Perhaps when we next meet, you could remedy that. Sakura Kasugano.” was all you said.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
After an invitation like that? 
It was on.
Sakura started training like crazy.
She put a bag up with your picture on it, the whole nine yards.
Sure, she nearly got her head taken off by a kick in getting it but that was beside the point.
Dan, for some reason, started teasing her about a crush.
But that was ridiculous, it wasn’t as if she spent every spare minute she had training herself to beat you.
It wasn’t as if she spent her nights thinking about you or anything.
That would be absolutely ridiculous.
Obsessive even!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
When the next fight between the two of you occurred, it had been almost a year to the day after the first one.
It took place on the same street, at the same time of day.
The only difference?
This was now an official Street Fight.
As it turns out, in the year since the first showdown the two of you had, both of you had made names for yourselves.
Everyone was here.
Everyone.
And now, the showdown was set to begin.
Punch for punch.
Kick for kick.
The two of you were evenly matched, each of you pulling out everything the both of you knew to get an edge over the other.
The moves learned.
The moves copied.
Even the moves both of you had come up with yourselves.
But then, eventually, it came down to the both of you being on the ropes, one final move. For both of you.
You let out a hiss of air as flames engulfed you.
“Tiger-”
Sakura breathed deeply as lightning crackled around her.
“Shin-”
You launched forward and shouted “-DESTRUCTION!!!”
Sakura stepped past your attack as she fired off her own and shouted “SHORYUKEN!!!”
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
“Tell me, my student. Was the conversation you had an interesting one?” a voice from your memories asked you as you awoke, a smile on your face despite the pain you felt.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
After that, things quickly snowballed between the two of you.
Both of you fought the other, both of you winning one and then losing the next.
It was a back and forth that everyone had gotten used to over time.
But then, something unexpected occurred.
The two of you hit it off, in a way that was different from the usual between you two.
And it was all thanks to a certain Kunoichi in training that anyone knew about it.
Tumblr media
Rindo-Kan Karate was Makoto’s entire life.
Rindo-Kan Karate was her life blood.
It was how she went through life.
She never expected to meet someone similar to her in that regard.
But then she met you.
Someone who put as much pride in their Bajiquan as she did her Rindo-Kan.
Could there be anyone else to be her Rival?
Her brother teased her mercilessly with how much she went on about you.
But… he didn’t understand why she was so… attached to you.
She felt a connection, a sort of kinship with you.
She felt like she could come to you with her problems and that you could come to her with yours.
A sort of… peaceful feeling.
Like she had someone at her back whenever she needed that extra push to go farther than she ever could before.
A strength that only ever came when she thought or talked about you.
And eventually, although she did not truly know it, she fell for you.
You, in turn, fell for her.
Despite that, neither of you were all too quick to come off of it.
Neither of you wanted to lose your friend and rival.
Neither of you wanted to lose the person who gave them the strength to push further than ever before.
Eventually however, Makoto tossed caution to the wind.
And to this day, she is glad she did.
