When I Met You
Chapter 1
The metro was restless up to the middle of the night. Street peddlers were scourging the dark long alleys of the buildings. The Police were busy keeping the heavy traffic in order and other small matters of local robberies. Harlots were everywhere in the city, and so are thieves who were waiting for any opportunity from unsuspected victims. Disco bars, casinos and motels were the life of the city on that ordinary night.
The moon shone over the towering building of Daidouji Security Company. Sparks of light from nearby advertisement boards above the towering buildings and the traffic below it gave life on the urban area of New Tokyo.
A glass window reflected the lights from below, giving it its glossy look as we moved our eyes across its endlessness. But wait. There was a hole in the glass intricately rounded by a glasscutter.
As we looked inside the hole, we could find the door in an office opened with a shadowy figure on his knees in front of a vault and an odd looking toy.
"Hey, aren't you through yet?" whined the yellow stuff toy floating in the air wearing a black mask.
"Okay, will you shut up... this vault is hard to crack and your clamoring is not helping!" moaned the irritated teen beside the toy also wearing a black sneaking suit in front of a gigantic titanium vault.
Creek.. creek.. Creek...
"Chinese thieves are so slow." Kero the small yellow toy, teased his partner
"And so baka! I never knew Eriol would pair me to the likes of you, rookie!" the toy added as he looked around the dark office.
"Will you shut the hell up, cotton mouth!" Syaoran, Kero's partner in crime, almost pissed off from the remarks of his partner.
"Shhhhh...... Stupid Chinese, keep your voice down, somebody might hear us!" Kero warned the Chinese rookie.
creek... creeek...creeek... creek
Kero flew towards a candy vending machine, "Hmmm... which one will I get... Hey Brat, got some spare change?"
"Shut up! And.... why do you ask for money? We're thieves, remember?" Syaoran grumpily hissed as he continued picking the lock.
Syaoran carefully adjusted the vault key combination while listening to the eerie sound of the turning.
Creek.. creeek... ting!
"Got it!" Syaoran smiled as he congratulated himself for opening the vault that took him awhile to open.
Kero walked toward Syaoran with a candy bar on his shoulder, "Done already?"
"Hai, no thanks to you..." Syaoran glanced at the direction of Kero and stood in surprise, "Nani?! What did you do?" Syaoran stared at the tortured vending machine behind the notorious toy. The vending machine was torn in half brutally lying flat on the floor. All candy bars were opened and evidently had been devoured.
"You know, if Eriol was here, he could open that in 2 minutes only, not five" Kero flew inside the gigantic vault scouting the area for any motion sensors around the room.
Syaoran, sweat-dropping heavily, still couldn't believe what happened to the candy vending machine.
The toy flew upward to the left corner and then stopped. He sensed something extraordinary. Kero quickly kicked in the air, revealing and apparently destroying the invisible sensors that guarded the contents of the vault.
Syaoran opened his bag and took out a canister. He also opened it, releasing a white smoke that causes the lasers from the floor to appear.
Syaoran gracefully dodged the lasers like an Olympic gymnast. His body was so flexible that he could jump and turn 180 degrees in mid-air, and perfectly landed on both feet.
"Okay, the coast is clear" Kero flew downward to Syaoran who was now standing in front of a computer panel.
The interior of the vault was empty. In the middle were the computer and its mainframe - the only things surrounded by the tight security of the vault.
"Okay, let's get what we are here for!" Syaoran hastily turned on the computer.
He keyed in some codes and was able to bypass all security walls.
"Okay give me the names of those men" Kero whispered as Syaoran typed his way to the main menu of the screen.
Syaoran silently nodded as he went over the names.
"Bill Gates..... hmmmm.... owns a software company. Worth.... too easy!"
"Pres. Estrada and Marcos Swiss's accounts..... hmmmmm.... too scandalous…"
"Hey wait! Chinese gaki, look..... HeartStar Diamond.... Wow, I never knew it really exists!"
Syaoran looked at his partner, confused.
"Listen kid, that thing is what Eriol wanted all along..." Kero explained to Syaoran "Oh, what the heck! Eriol will explain it later to you when we return home. Just get the name of the one who currently owns it," Kero frowned.
"Oh...oh..." Syaoran muttered.
"Nani?" Kero asked the troubled looking partner.
"Damn Security Level A.... it's hard, well not that really hard" Syaoran hastily typed his way up to the firewalls.
"What are you waiting for? Start hacking it!" Kero exclaimed
After one minute.....
"Not bad for a beginner!" Kero looked at Syaoran who had almost completed his work.
The main computer screen appeared.... Access denied....
"Okay, I take that back" Kero flew away to look outside if someone was coming.
After few more minutes..
Code entered.... Access Granted......
"Alas, you got some brains after all" Kero complimented his partner.
Then, all the info about the HeartStar Diamond's current owner appeared in the screen.
"Okay, let us look who owns it now......Ki..no..mo..to..."
"It's Kinomoto," Syaoran corrected the Osaka accent of the toy
"Yeah, whatever!" Kero didn't mind the young lad.
Then, without warning, the alarm went off.
"Shoot! We've been spotted! But how?" Kero panicked from the sudden change of situation.
The computer screen displayed: intruder alert.... intruder alert.... level omega info opened.
"Damn! This file has strings attached...." Syaoran quickly inserted the disk, hit the enter key and copied the file before they hastily ran on their get away.
"All security personnel at Level code red. I repeat Code RED" Announced by the loud speakers in the building.
Security forces entered the office; the rampaging footsteps of the Squad team could be heard as they were securing the area in a square formation.
Syaoran quietly sneaked out of the vault and they hid under an office table.
Then suddenly…Blam!!!. Bahghh.!!!pam!!!, pam!!!,pam!!!
The sounds of high caliber guns and machine guns rained towards the hallway.
"Fire!! Don't let him escape!" ordered the squad captain of the security force.
Syaoran and Kero were very surprised because they thought they were the ones being fired at, but no. A long white-haired man ran into the hallway with such speed that he could dodge the bullets that were being fired at him.
The man was wearing a tight white suit without a mask but his face couldn't be seen clearly because it was dark and his long hair covered much of his face.
"Nani? I thought we're the only ones here?" Syaoran said as he followed the sight of the mysterious running man.
Kero flew up to the ceiling near the air duct and watched the gunfight of the security force from a better view.
The man ran and dodged every bullet the security squad fired at him.
"Damn! He's too quick!" one of the squad complained.
"Shut up! Shut the hell up! Just keep firing at him. Team A, the target is moving upward to the helicopter pad" The captain spoke to the radio and was later given a positive response from the other teams. The captain was very furious and irritated because they couldn't even slow down the culprit.
The squad pursued the mysterious man to the rooftop, they ran across the hallway and filled the walls with holes from the gunfire.
Kero flew back to Syaoran as the squad left the area pursuing the unknown intruder.
"Kid, that man is better than you. Okay, no time to waste. We have to get out of here now!"
Kero hurriedly exits the area, followed by Syaoran.
They came to an open glass window, when some guards who were clearing the area spotted Syaoran. Syaoran quickly felt the presence of the guards and hid beneath the tables.
"Intruder at my site, send in some back-ups!" The guard radioed as he opened fire at Syaoran.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Kero initiatively threw a small plastic explosive at the window, "Fire in the hole, brat!"
Syaoran docked for cover as the explosive exploded causing glass to be shattered and a barrage of sharp flying broken glass blades engulfed the room.
One of the large sharp glass blades jabbed the guard's hand, causing him to drop his uzi gun.
"Now what?" Syaoran quickly asked Kero.
"We jump!" Kero stated, looking at Syaoran with a serious face.
"Nani? What are you trying to do? Kill me?" Syaoran refused Kero's suggestion.
"We have no choice, we'll be shot to death if we stay here for another minute!" Kero heard the sounds of heavy footsteps from the stairs.
"Are you on or what?" Kero shouted back at the Chinese gaki as the backups were closing in fast on their location.
"Fine!" Syaoran answered firmly.
"There they are! Fire in the hole!" the guards opened fire and one of them threw a hand grenade into the room and quickly docked for cover
"No time to waste!" Kero grabbed Syaoran's collar and threw him out the window.
"Wahhhhhh.... You'll payyyyyyyyy forrr thaaaaaaaaatttttttttttttt!!" Syaoran exclaimed.
"One day, you'll thank me kid... " Kero followed Syaoran downward.
The pull of gravity welcomed Syaoran as he was approaching the ground very rapidly; he was experiencing what scientists call "free fall." The wind made him felt that he was being swallowed fully by the rushing turbulence he was experiencing. He closed his eyes and concentrated. Syaoran shut his eyes feeling the sensation he was into.
(Background music... As Syaoran is falling down the building)
Syaoran speaking to the readers:
Hi, if you still didn't figure it out. My name is Syaoran and that flying yellow toy is Kero. We are partners for quite sometime now. We are thieves, working under the Clow's Thieves Guild where Eriol is our leader. Actually, Eriol and I are brothers, well not actually blood brothers. Eriol's parents accepted me as though I was their own son when my parents died during the war of the Nasgkar. I was still 4 years old back then, and Eriol and I became good friends. We trained together under Eriol's dad, who was the current leader of the guild at that time. Eriol was very good in everything. He always ranked first (followed by me) during our training days. By the age of 15, he was the youngest thief in the guild and named as the best thief that ever joined the guild. Kero is a cyborg toy of Eriol. Kero was a gift from Eriol's dad when they infiltrated a science research facility. Eriol's father died just few months ago when he was shot in the heart by one of the guards during the Eye of Ghanda operation. Since then, Eriol takes the place of his father as the leader of the guild. This is my first solo mission, well not actually solo, the stuff toy is my partner. I joined recently and the guild council gave me this as my first mission. My lineage is still a mystery but I don't care anymore. I've found happiness in my new family (the guild) or maybe not...
Syaoran, still falling head first, could see that Kero was chasing him down. Then everything went black.
Syaoran awoke from his bed; He initiatively pinched himself to check if he was alive.
He yelped from the pain and was totally convinced that he was alive after all. He was wearing green trunks and black cycling shorts. (A.N: AKA HEERO YUY ^O^ look, especially with his cold stare look). He scourged the room and he saw that there were some bandages with blood, a beaker of water, cotton balls, antiseptics, and medicine scattered from his side table (Like Rei's room). The room was dark, the curtains blocked the sun's rays but if we took a closer look, some rays were able to pass from between the curtains. "It's 8 am," Syaoran concluded.
Syaoran stood up from his bed but only to be welcomed by a feeling of dizziness that led him back to his bed, sitting while massaging the scalp part of his head. He tried to stand again for the second time but to no avail.
"Don't push too hard!" a very familiar voice echoed across the room. Eriol stepped inside, beaming at his brother's futile attempt to stand up. Syaoran looked at Eriol who was leaning at the corridor.
"How long have I slept?" Syaoran asked quietly while trying to resist the feeling of drowsiness.
"About a week now" Eriol adjusted adjusting his glasses.
Syaoran took a grip on the steel bed braces as he attempted to stand up again. "What happened? I only remember that I was falling from the skyscraper.."
*Eriol told Syaoran what happened " Kero caught you at the right moment before your messy head clash with the cement pavement. But unfortunately you suffered from too much pressure that caused some abnormal flow of blood to your brain."
Syaoran visualized and trying to recalled the scene as Eriol keep feeding him with the details.
"When Kero took you back here, we also found out that you've been shot in the chest near the heart... maybe you got it before Kero threw you out... We thought that you'd never recover, but miraculously, you did..." Eriol approached Syaoran offering a hand to Syaoran.
"Any progress in the guild?" Syaoran asked as he accepted the offer aid of his brother.
"Hai, The info you got is very important indeed. We were able to handle the rest" Eriol held Syaoran's hand firmly, pulling him to his feet.
"But there is something that the guild requires," Eriol grinned sheepishly.
Syaoran didn't like what he just saw, for he knew Eriol very well. That unusual grin from Eriol's face meant a lot... and it really means a lot! "Okay, what do you want me to do now?" Syaoran gave up because he knew that he couldn't escape what Eriol had already planned for him.
"I'm surprised! You're learning very fast, brother" Eriol cleaned Syaoran's bandages while sitting across the side table.
"Eriol, we've been together for almost 15 years already! Your words are no longer a mystery!" Syaoran walked slowly towards the window, parting the closed curtain slowly.
Eriol looked worried. "Don't worry about it... it will be a very easy task" Eriol left the room.
Syaoran was still staring at the horizon. "What now?" he muttered.
Syaoran took a quick shower and prepared himself to join the meeting of the guild.
Meanwhile...
An auburn-haired lady approached the scene, talking on the phone and sitting beside the window of a state mansion. "Tomoyo... is it true that your mother's building has been Broken in
"Yeah, Mom is now more tensed about this tenth consecutive robbery in our property... Oh by the way Sakura-chan, how's you day?" Tomoyo changed the topic.
"Nani?" Tomoyo exclaimed.
Meanwhile at that very same moment...
"Nani?!" Eriol shouted. "What do you mean my brother is going to do that?" Eriol demanded in front of the Guild council for an explanation.
"Eriol, you know the rules. Even you are the head of this guild, all must agree what the council's decision," One of the elders reminded the young leader firmly.
Eriol controlled his emotion knowing the consequences of his action would will make a big scandal in the guild. Syaoran was outside the room. It was a close door meeting but he could can hear his brother's voice echoing the hallway.
Eriol and most of the council members elected by his late father didn't like each other. The main reason why Eriol took his father place as the head of the guild was because of his father's last will. The majority of the council hated Eriol and Syaoran, they fear the popularity of these two lads among the members would diminish the authority they had enjoyed. The council had the same authority as the head of the guild. Eriol and the council always debated the endless issue of whom the members would follow-Eriol or the Council.' In this situation, the council planned to get rid of the two brothers by sending Syaoran to the most dangerous mission. And this one was considered the roughest of them all.
"You know that this task is very crucial to us and we need to use the best," One of the council member said.
"We cannot afford any failure, you know what we mean, Chief," continued the other one.
Eriol gave up his defend, "Demo, as the head of this guild. I would like to practice my privilege as my father done before. That I would like to join my brother in this operation." Eriol took an angry stare at the council and left the room. As Eriol finally exited the meeting room, most of the council members grinned. They succeeded in their plan to get rid of the two brothers.
One of them, the eldest among the council, stood up and walked in the middle of the room. "So what shall we do then?" he asked.
"We finally made Eriol do what we have planned!" A gruff voice was heard.
*"Take the position as head" Shouted by one who haed Eriol and Syaoran most
"But how?" asked the timid one
"I say.. Kill them now" the gruff voiced cried
"No!" the eldest member shouted, crossing his arms,"We must make sure they succeed in taking the diamond as well we laid our plan to get rid off them."
"Why bother of taking the diamond?" a speculated member of the council asked
"Because, we must" the elder firmly responded.
Syaoran stood up and followed his brother as Eriol exited the room.
"So how it goes?" Syaoran asked looking at the back of Eriol blue suit.
"Like feeding milk to a frog," Eriol answered walking toward his room.
Syaoran walked past his brother and opened the door for his brother.
"We leave now!" Eriol handed over the paper of his assignment to Syaoran.
"We?" Syaoran puzzled as Eriol step inside his room.

When I Met You
Chapter 1
The metro was restless up to the middle of the night. Street peddlers were scourging the dark long alleys of the buildings. The Police were busy keeping the heavy traffic in order and other small matters of local robberies. Harlots were everywhere in the city, and so are thieves who were waiting for any opportunity from unsuspected victims. Disco bars, casinos and motels were the life of the city on that ordinary night.
The moon shone over the towering building of Daidouji Security Company. Sparks of light from nearby advertisement boards above the towering buildings and the traffic below it gave life on the urban area of New Tokyo.
A glass window reflected the lights from below, giving it its glossy look as we moved our eyes across its endlessness. But wait. There was a hole in the glass intricately rounded by a glasscutter.
As we looked inside the hole, we could find the door in an office opened with a shadowy figure on his knees in front of a vault and an odd looking toy.
"Hey, aren't you through yet?" whined the yellow stuff toy floating in the air wearing a black mask.
"Okay, will you shut up... this vault is hard to crack and your clamoring is not helping!" moaned the irritated teen beside the toy also wearing a black sneaking suit in front of a gigantic titanium vault.
Creek.. creek.. Creek...
"Chinese thieves are so slow." Kero the small yellow toy, teased his partner
"And so baka! I never knew Eriol would pair me to the likes of you, rookie!" the toy added as he looked around the dark office.
"Will you shut the hell up, cotton mouth!" Syaoran, Kero's partner in crime, almost pissed off from the remarks of his partner.
"Shhhhh...... Stupid Chinese, keep your voice down, somebody might hear us!" Kero warned the Chinese rookie.
creek... creeek...creeek... creek
Kero flew towards a candy vending machine, "Hmmm... which one will I get... Hey Brat, got some spare change?"
"Shut up! And.... why do you ask for money? We're thieves, remember?" Syaoran grumpily hissed as he continued picking the lock.
Syaoran carefully adjusted the vault key combination while listening to the eerie sound of the turning.
Creek.. creeek... ting!
"Got it!" Syaoran smiled as he congratulated himself for opening the vault that took him awhile to open.
Kero walked toward Syaoran with a candy bar on his shoulder, "Done already?"
"Hai, no thanks to you..." Syaoran glanced at the direction of Kero and stood in surprise, "Nani?! What did you do?" Syaoran stared at the tortured vending machine behind the notorious toy.

Syaoran opened his bag and took out a canister. He also opened it, releasing a white smoke that causes the lasers from the floor to appear.
Syaoran gracefully dodged the lasers like an Olympic gymnast. His body was so flexible that he could jump and turn 180 degrees in mid-air, and perfectly landed on both feet.

"Bill Gates..... hmmmm.... owns a software company. Worth.... too easy!"
"Pres. Estrada and Marcos Swiss's accounts..... hmmmmm.... too scandalous…"
"Hey wait! Chinese gaki, look..... HeartStar Diamond.... Wow, I never knew it really exists!"
Syaoran looked at his partner, confused.
"Listen kid, that thing is what Eriol wanted all along..." Kero explained to Syaoran "Oh, what the heck! Eriol will explain it later to you when we return home. Just get the name of the one who currently owns it," Kero frowned.
"Oh...oh..." Syaoran muttered.
"Nani?" Kero asked the troubled looking partner.
"Damn Security Level A.... it's hard, well not that really hard" Syaoran hastily typed his way up to the firewalls.
"What are you waiting for? Start hacking it!" Kero exclaimed
After one minute.....

"Yeah, whatever!" Kero didn't mind the young lad.
Then, without warning, the alarm went off.
"Shoot! We've been spotted! But how?" Kero panicked from the sudden change of situation.
The computer screen displayed: intruder alert.... intruder alert.... level omega info opened.
"Damn! This file has strings attached...." Syaoran quickly inserted the disk, hit the enter key and copied the file before they hastily ran on their get away.

The pull of gravity welcomed Syaoran as he was approaching the ground very rapidly; he was experiencing what scientists call "free fall." The wind made him felt that he was being swallowed fully by the rushing turbulence he was experiencing. He closed his eyes and concentrated. Syaoran shut his eyes feeling the sensation he was into.

An auburn-haired lady approached the scene, talking on the phone and sitting beside the window of a state mansion. "Tomoyo... is it true that your mother's building has been Broken in

Eriol controlled his emotion knowing the consequences of his action would will make a big scandal in the guild. Syaoran was outside the room. It was a close door meeting but he could can hear his brother's voice echoing the hallway.
Eriol and most of the council members elected by his late father didn't like each other. The main reason why Eriol took his father place as the head of the guild was because of his father's last will. The majority of the council hated Eriol and Syaoran, they fear the popularity of these two lads among the members would diminish the authority they had enjoyed. The council had the same authority as the head of the guild. Eriol and the council always debated the endless issue of whom the members would follow-Eriol or the Council.' In this situation, the council planned to get rid of the two brothers by sending Syaoran to the most dangerous mission. And this one was considered the roughest of them all.
"You know that this task is very crucial to us and we need to use the best," One of the council member said.
"We cannot afford any failure, you know what we mean, Chief," continued the other one.
Eriol gave up his defend, "Demo, as the head of this guild. I would like to practice my privilege as my father done before. That I would like to join my brother in this operation." Eriol took an angry stare at the council and left the room. As Eriol finally exited the meeting room, most of the council members grinned. They succeeded in their plan to get rid of the two brothers.
One of them, the eldest among the council, stood up and walked in the middle of the room. "So what shall we do then?" he asked.
"We finally made Eriol do what we have planned!" A gruff voice was heard.
*"Take the position as head" Shouted by one who haed Eriol and Syaoran most
"But how?" asked the timid one
"I say.. Kill them now" the gruff voiced cried
"No!" the eldest member shouted, crossing his arms,"We must make sure they succeed in taking the diamond as well we laid our plan to get rid off them."
"Why bother of taking the diamond?" a speculated member of the council asked
"Because, we must" the elder firmly responded.
Syaoran stood up and followed his brother as Eriol exited the room.
"So how it goes?" Syaoran asked looking at the back of Eriol blue suit.
"Like feeding milk to a frog," Eriol answered walking toward his room.
Syaoran walked past his brother and opened the door for his brother.
"We leave now!" Eriol handed over the paper of his assignment to Syaoran.
"We?" Syaoran puzzled as Eriol step inside his room.
