It's Okay To Be Different (Sakura Haruka X Reader)

Chapter 11

Previously on Chapter 10

I feel pairs of eyes on me. I turn my head to see it's the leader of Shishitoren. He's scowling at me as my hand is still being held by Y/N. He doesn't look happy with the fact that Y/N is worried about me. Why did he react that way? What's his relationship with Y/N? Why do I even feel bothered? Do I... like her?

-Realization-

Sakura P.O.V

I stand in front of the guy. He has a smirk on his face as he stares at me. "You seem quite close with L/N-San..." he said. I narrow my eyes as he brought her up. "What's your relationship with her?" He asked.

"My relationship with Y/N is none of your business" I said, coldly. I lift my hands into fists. "Enough talking. Let's start" I said. He suddenly lunges at me as he try to tackle me down. He tries to punch me. I quickly lift my feet and kicks his arm. I do a flip to get back up. I didn't expect him to be so fast. I've got to be careful.

He keeps attacking me again and again. It's taking so much from me to just avoid his attack. How am I going to win this??

I turn my head to look of the stage momentarily. My eyes landed on Y/N who stares at me worriedly. I shake my head. No, I have to win. I'm not going to let them take her away from Furin... from me.

Ever since the day Y/N comforted me with her words about my appearance. She's all I could think of. I can't deny it any more. I'm falling in love with Y/N, and I'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe and away from these selfish people. Even if I have to put my life on the line.

I lunges at him, grabbing in by the torso. He manages to break one of his feet free. He place his hand on my head, slamming my head down.

"Sakura!" I hear Y/N's voice calling out for me. I turn my head to the side to see her staring at me. Although, my vision is slightly blurry. I can still see her face, and I could have sworn there are tears in her eyes. Y/N... is worried about me.

He grabs my collar, picking me up by the shirt until my feet dangles. "Are you knocked out already?" He asked. I let my head fall back a little. "I saw the way you look at her. Do you honestly believe that she would like a guy like you?" He said.

I feel my chest tightens at what he just said. I know that much. Y/N would never like me. Even though she said nothing is wrong with the way I look. There are people who sees me as a freak. Even if she said it's okay to be different, I still think that I'm not good enough. She's too perfect for me. She deserves someone better.

"Don't give up, Sakura!!" I heard Y/N's voice. I slowly open my eyes as I move my head. I lift my fist and swing it at him. He's clearly annoyed that I had interrupted him as he talks about freedom and how the strong ones deserve to have it. But I ignore him. I grab his arm with both of mine, making him releases me. I dodge him as he keeps trying to step on me.

"What you said is indeed true. Freedom is only given to those with power. And you don't have to remind me. I'm aware of it myself!" I said. I keep lunging at him as I throw kicks and punches. "And I know that without strength. You can't push through with who you are!!" I said.

He finally decided to take things seriously. No matter what. I will not lose. I will not give up, until I'm sure I have secured Y/N's spot among Furin. I will not let her get taken away from us. As we prepare to attack each other, I notice him loosening his fist. My fist landed on his cheek, which causes him to fall on the ground with a loud thud.

"What the hell was that?! Why didn't you strike me!" I yelled while pointing at him. I hear footsteps and turn my head to see the leader of Shishitoren. He starts to call out on Umemiya. Togame tries to talk to him, only to be kicked. My eyes widen at the sight. I rush towards him, ready to punch when someone stops me. I turn my head to see it's Umemiya. I try to keep moving my fist so I can punch him. But it wouldn't budge. I click my tongue as I turn to look at the leader. He just stares at me with a grin.

"What's your relationship with Y/N-Chan?" He asked. The same question as Togame before the fight begins. I just stare at him. Eventually, I push him away.

"None of your business" I said, glaring angrily at him. I turn around, making my way towards the edge of the stage. I jump down, landing on my feet. But my body sways a little. My body starts to fall forward. But as I was about to fall, someone comes to me and catches me.

Y/N P.O.V

I wrap my arms around his torso just as he was about to fall. His chin landed on my shoulder as I hold him. "You did well... Sakura" I said, in a soft voice. I'm so relieved that he's all right. Well, except for the bruises he received from the fight. But I'm sure he's going to be just fine.

I gently guide him back to his seat and take a seat next to him. Now's up to Umemiya-San with his battle against Choji. I turn my head slightly as I sneak a quick glance at Sakura. He actually won against Togame.

Although,  I can clearly see that Togame didn't even try to punch him. Togame let Sakura punched him instead. But it doesn't matter. What matters to me the most is the fact that Sakura had won and that he's okay. Right at this very moment, I've come to a realization that...

I'm in love with Sakura Haruka
