You barely stepped into the hallway before you felt a whole body wrap around you - because that's exactly what happened. Karura's smaller frame pressed tightly against yours, the Kure girl practically glowing as she looked up at you.

"You did it! You made it through the quarterfinals! I knew you could...~" She giggled, her head firmly against your chest, savoring the closeness, despite your sweaty and bloodied state.

Karura hasn't let go of you since you, the other fighters, and spectators were brought to Ganryu Island for the Kengan Tournament. You don't understand half of what she says - talk of marriage, children... Your life is all about fighting, but she seems to overlook that, at least partly - while her grandfather fumes at the mere thought that Karura might have fallen for you.
