[After being stuck in Respatrum for a month, Xiaolang hadn't been entirely eager to return to what was essentially hell on earth. He was just fine being in a city with normal temperatures, normal buildings, and not potentially running into some abnormal creatures. There was homework to do, and life to get readjusted to...
... but Sakura had wanted to see it, after what he had described for her when he got back, and so of course he had no other choice but to join her. Someone had to make sure she was safe from the lurking dangers there, and given he was already familiar with the place, he was the best candidate.
Of course, he had to have his back turned for FIVE SECONDS, trying to pick his way through this crowd of people in the stadium to see what the commotion was, when his ears picked up on a rather familiar (and distinct) cry of alarm from the middle of the ring.
GODDAMMIT.]
SAKURA!!
[And there he goes, drawing his sword and vaulting over the wall and into the ring, his sneakers slapping against the ground as he races towards her.]
iv because SAKURA. SAKURA /PLEASE/
