It seems that the Shotokan dojo in Tokyo is all the rage in town. People line up just to learn the moves that have made Ryu Hoshi and Ken Masters legendary. My cameraman, Ken, Dan, and I finally arrive at the Shotokan dojo. We are dying to find out if it is indeed Ryu who teaches the art of Shotokan karate to the students.

We enter the dojo and just watch the teacher who instructs the students in how to perform the hadou-ken. It is not Ryu who is the teacher, but someone who has wanted to be taught by him for years...

Ken: Sakura!

Sakura: Ken! I don't believe it!

The class is in shock as they see Sakura Kasugano running towards one of the two legendary warriors of Shotokan, Ken Masters! Dan is in shock as he realizes that this beautiful woman is none other than the teenage klutz known as Sakura.

Dan: ( Hm, puberty must have taken over! She is so fine! Forget Chun Li! I want Sakura!)

Dan's thoughts are interrupted as Sakura now grabs him in a bear hug.

Dan: ( She has really grown up since the last time I saw her! Man, her breasts have gotten bigger...Feels so nice...)

Sakura: It's so good to see you too, Dan!

Dan: Likewise!

Announcer: Sakura, do you mind if my camera crew and I interview you?

Sakura: Not at all! Tetsuro! Come here! (A student approaches Sakura)

Sakura: Lead the class for a while!

Tetsuro: Hai, sensei!

5 minutes later, we are now ready to interview Sakura Kasugano.

Announcer: So tell us Sakura, what has life been like for you since the last Street Fighter tournament you have been in?

Sakura: Well, after the tournament, my parents became a bit more strict. They were less likely to let me go out the house other than for school. But they became understanding of my love for street fighting. They told me that if I kept my grades up, than they would have no problem with me training with Ryu.

Announcer: Wait a minute! You're saying that you trained with Ryu?

Sakura: That's right. After the tournament, Ryu realized how much better of a fighter I have become. Ryu said he would train me because I had a lot of untapped potential. Ryu also said that in order for him to become a better fighter, he needed to spar with opponents more. Every fight shouldn't necessary be a fight to the death. So it worked out well for both of us.

Announcer: So who is better, you or Ryu?

Sakura: Ryu still kicks my butt! But I do give him a challenge.

Announcer: So how did you get this dojo?

Sakura: When I turned 18 years old, Ryu had decided to train other students as well as myself. Ryu didn't want Shotokan karate to ever die, so he took me and made me his assistant.

Announcer: What do you get out of the deal?

Sakura: Ryu still teaches me advanced Shotokan techniques. And I do get paid.

Announcer: Are you happy with this lifestyle?

Sakura: Yes! Absolutely! I couldn't be happier!

Announcer: Now we have to ask you the most controversial question that fans have been wanting to know about you for a long time. What are your feelings towards Ryu?

Sakura: (blushes a deep red) Well, we are good friends. I care about him very much.

Announcer: You know what I mean, Sakura. Do you have a crush on him? Do you love him?

Sakura blushes an even deeper red.

Dan: Ha! I knew it! She does love him!

Ken: Stop it, Dan! You're being rude!

Sakura: (with a bit of sadness in her voice): Yes, I love him so much! He means the world to me! I would die for him! He means that much to me! (a tear comes out of her eye) But I am happy to be one of his close friends. That's better than nothing.(tears coming out of both eyes now) Chun Li is a very lucky woman to have Ryu.

Announcer: So you mean Ryu and Chun Li are together?

Sakura: (about to cry) Well...y..ye....wah!!! (Sakura runs off stage crying)

Ken: Nice going, you idiot!

Dan: Yeah, you made her cry!

Announcer: We will be back after a commercial. (camera man turns camera off)

Announcer: I'm sorry Sakura. I wasn't aware of how much you cared about him. I can be an idiot sometimes.

Sakura: It's okay. It's not your fault.

Announcer: But it is. I went too far.

Sakura: No really, it's okay.

Announcer: If you want me to stop the interview, I understand...

Sakura: Don't stop! I might get movie deals because of your coverage!

Announcer: I'm sure that you will get someone someday. You're too beautiful to pass up.

Sakura: (blushes a little) Oh stop! You're making me blush!

Announcer: We could always do something after the show...

Sakura: Is that your way of asking me out?

Announcer: well...

Sakura: Then I would love too! (Sakura gives the announcer a big bear hug)

Announcer: (oh man! This woman is so soft...I can't believe Ryu gave this up...)

Sakura: Hey! Don't we have to finish the interview?

Announcer: Oh yeah!

5 minutes later...

Announcer: And we are back with our E! True Hollywood Story on Street Fighter! When we last left off, we were interviewing an assistant of Ryu's, Sakura Kasugano. So Sakura, what are things like between you and Karin Kanzuki?

Sakura: We are the best of friends. Every weekend, we go shopping together. Karin is the female equivalent of Ken.

Ken raises one eyebrow.

Announcer: Could you possibly teach me how to do the Hadou-ken?

Sakura: I don't know. It depends on you. But if you would like to try, be my guest.

Announcer: Let's give it a shot.

Sakura: Ken, can you help me?

Ken: Sure.

Sakura: Tetsuro! You can rest now!

We are now in front of the class, being taught how to perform the hadou-ken properly. But suddenly...

Marcus: Yoga!

Announcer: *Marcus! I thought you quit?

*In case you are wondering, Marcus is the intern that used to work for E! Once he learned how to telephoto from Dhalsim, Marcus decided to do other things. Why he is here now, I don't know.*

Marcus: I did, but E! hired me back, gave me a new position, a summer home, a new car, and a raise! I'm now making three times as much money as you are! But it gets better! Say hello to your partner!

Announcer: Partner?!

Marcus: That's right. But let's finish this interview. We can catch up on old times after.

I didn't know whether to kill Marcus or give him a hug. He did leave me in the cold. He now makes more money than I do, even though I still make a lot. He is now my partner. However, Marcus does know how to teleport, so I can save money on plane tickets. But first things first. There was an interview to finish...

Ken: First, you must clear your mind.

I attempted to clear my mind. If I could learn how to throw a fireball, I would never have to worry about dinner again! It would be done in 5 seconds!

Ken: Now try to feel the energy of everything around you.

I try this next step. I don't seem to be making much progress. Marcus and the camera man however, are surrounded by a blue aura. Everyone is in shock. Marcus and my camera man are learning the hadou-ken! They finally finish the steps and each throw a fireball! I am so jealous! Might as well get this interview over with...

Announcer: So Sakura, before we close, do you have any idea where Ryu might be right now?

Sakura: He said he was going to train at Mt. Fuji.

I now knew what my next destination was. Mt. Fuji. If Ryu was there, than I had to be there too. After Sakura dismissed her class for the day, we all gathered around Marcus as he would be the one to teleport all of us to Mt. Fuji. The rest of my crew went home. I only need Marcus, my cameraman, and the other Street Fighters for the rest of this interview. Stay tuned everyone! We are closer than ever to finding Ryu!
