The Boxer and the Martial Artist

1. Fear

Ryu sighed, glancing around the messy room. One minute, it was clean and tidy; the next, the kid Smashers ran inside, throwing papers, bed sheets, and other items on the ground. It looked like a tornado had hit the room to cause such a mess.

Shaking his head, he thought, Kids these days… He grabbed one sheet near his bed, looking over it. Muddy footprints were planted all over the sheet, and it was ripped slightly.

Ryu sighed, shaking his head again. "I should ask Zelda to sew this back to…normal?" Ryu trailed off when he saw a small, black spot on the right edge of the sheet. There were eight lines on the spot, and it moved slowly towards Ryu's hand.

Ryu recognized it immediately.

"SPIDER!" He screamed, throwing the sheet to the wall. The spider somehow survived, and it crawled out of the sheet before quickly walking to him.

"GET AWAY!" Ryu yelled, throwing a black shoe at it. The spider dodged as it got closer to the frightened martial artist.

"Don't come NEAR me, you ugly bug!" Ryu cried out, climbing and standing on the bed to avoid it. The spider simply crawled to the other side, as if wondering where its prey was.

Suddenly, the door burst open. Little Mac filled the doorway, his gloved fists up. "Ryu?!" he cried as he glanced around the room.

To his surprise, there were no enemies in the room. Little Mac turned his head to see Ryu, who shook uncontrollably, his gaze locked on the ground.

"Are you okay?" Little Mac asked, his eyebrow raised. "I heard you scream, so I assumed that you were being attacked."

Ryu gulped, blushing in embarrassment. "Sp-sp-spider…" he stuttered, pointing at the small speck on the ground.

Little Mac looked where Ryu was pointing and spotted the spider. A grin began to form on his face, and he snickered. He then laughed loudly. "A spider?! All that screaming over a SPIDER?!" He cried, falling on the floor laughing as he held his stomach.

Ryu glared at him. "This isn't funny, Mac! Do something!" he yelled.

Little Mac stood back up, trying to hold back more laughter. "All right, all right." He said, looking over where the spider was. It walked towards his bed. The boxer raised his foot, and he stomped the spider to death. When he raised his foot back up, the spider did not move.

Ryu sighed with relief. "Thanks…" he said gratefully, holding his chest with his hand as he jumped back down on the ground.

Little Mac's expression changed to a frown. "You scared me," he spoke, "I thought you were under attack!"

Ryu raised his hands up slightly in a stop motion. "Sorry…"

Little Mac shook his head. "I gotta say," he said with a smile. "I never expected you to be afraid of spiders, for heck's sakes."

Ryu glared. "Everyone has their fears, Mac. Even the strongest are scared of something."

"True," Little Mac tried to hold in a snicker. "But…spiders?"

"MAC!" Ryu yelled, his face red from anger.

Little Mac chuckled. "I'm just joking, Ryu," he said. "But…when I heard you scream, I had that fear that you were being kidnapped or getting hurt."

Ryu rubbed the back of his head, blushing. "Really?" he questioned.

Little Mac nodded. "I was afraid for your safety, Ryu. You're my friend. If I see you hurt, I grew scared."

Ryu smiled. "Mac…that's sweet of you to say."

"Well," Little Mac shrugged. "You'll feel the same if I was in trouble."

"Yeah…" Ryu nodded. "Well, thanks Mac." He spoke, holding the boxer close.

Little Mac blushed, but he smiled.
