Chapter 1
A single shot rings through the silent night, the loud noise comes and goes quickly. A pair of crimson eyes are shown in the flash. The target was hit, the horrible gurgling coming from the body on the floor tells those crimson eyes her mark was hit. The eyes look up at the moon and a face is revealed in the light of the full moon. A girl of fair skin, and long black hair pulled up into a ponytail, standing there with a smile; knowing that they will come looking for her soon. So she turns and runs out of the building putting the gun in the waist of her jeans at the small of her back. She runs through the ally's heading home to her friends, The Black Hearts.
"Where the hell is she?" groans a boy with deep amber eyes and wild, unruly brown hair, at his friends.
"She'll be back you know her, she loves the kill." Says a girl who steps up beside the boy and takes his hand and gives it a gentle squeeze.
He looks down at the girl beside him and smiles at her, her deep emerald eyes shining with such life, her long honey brown hair blowing in the wind. "You think she went home?"
"Li I doubt it she knew to meet us here."
"I'm giving her one more hour. If she doesn't show we are going home and relax. Ok Sakura?"
"Fine by me. I like the view up here anyway." Says Sakura as she sits on the railing, her feet swinging back and forth over the city.
Li looks off the roof of the 100 story building down at the small city lights below, his hair blowing in the wind. He brushes his hair away from his face and looks up at the moon and sees a bit of red creeping in on one side. "She's done it. She's killed."
Sakura looks up at the moon, "Your right. She should be here soon. You know this isn't how I thought I would be spending my birthday."
"I know but she wanted to do this, we have to meet up with her. Then we can go home and celebrate the fact you now eighteen." Says Li as he smiles at Sakura and sits on the railing beside her.
"Remember I do have school tomorrow. I can't stay up to late."
"I guess your right. I miss high school."
"Li knock it off you do not. Your twenty-one. You don't miss high school one bit." Says Sakura sternly as she glares at Li beside her.
"Fuck can't you two go five minutes without arguing about something?" says a girl as she walks out of the stairwell and smiles at the two on the railing.
"And can't you go five minutes without the urge to kill something Meilin?" asks Sakura with a smile as she gets off the railing and walks over to the girl.
"I can but it's hard."
"Can we go home now? You know how the others worry if three of the five best people are gone long." Says Li as he walks over to the girls.
"Fine we can go but it was hell getting up here." Says Meilin with a groan.
"Were taking a new way down. Wanna fell a rush?" asks Sakura shoving a backpack into Meilin's hands.
"Were jumping?" asks Meilin seeing both Sakura and Li have the packs on as well.
Sakura smiles, turns and runs for the edge where she was just sitting. She jumps over the side and let's gravity do it's work. Li follows a moment later, his amber eyes flashing with amusement. Meilin sighs and puts the pack on and walks to the edge and looks down to see two chutes floating down to the ground. She stands on the railing and hold her arms out at her sides and she dives off the roof, speeding for the ground.
"Hey cherry blossom, wake up." Says Li as he softly caresses the gentle face of Sakura who is laying next to him.
Sakura stirs and scrunches her face up, "I don't wanna wake up."
"Oh come on. I'll drive you to school if you wake up." Says Li with a smile.
Sakura opens her eyes and looks at Li next to her, "You have never driven me to school. Oh I hope there are a lot of people around to see this." Says Sakura before kissing Li on the lips gently and softly.
"So how did you like flying last night?" asks Li as he stares into the emerald eyes that are looking back at him.
"Jumping off the building was fun. My mind was racing as I was free falling and even when I opened my chute my mind was still racing."
Li smiles and climbs out of bed and walks across the big room that has many colors of green everywhere, naked. He grabs some clothes and gets dressed. Sakura climbs out of bed and walks over to the closet and grabs her school uniform. "You know I really hate this thing." Grumbles Sakura as she walks over to the dresser and pulls out a bra and a pair of light green thongs.
"Oh come on Sakura you've been wearing a school uniform for how long? One more year isn't going to kill you." Says Li as he gently rubs his left hand over Sakura's ass.
Sakura smirks and tosses the thongs across the room and pulls out a white tong and pulls it on. "I can't fuck right now. First day of school." Purrs Sakura as she gets dressed.
Li smiles and says, "I know, it's just so hard to resist such a wonder flower."
Sakura blushes, "Damn talking like that makes me want to jump you and kiss you all over."
"I wouldn't stop you Sakura."
Sakura smiles at him, "I know you wouldn't. But your driving me to school so go get your bike I'll be down in a minute."
Li smiles and leaves the room. Sakura hears the music blaring as Li opens the door but it stops when the door closes. "Thank god for soundproofing." Says Sakura as she walks to the bathroom.
Li walks downstairs and smiles at everyone in the living room lounging around.
"And where are you off to this early?" asks a girl from behind Li.
Li turns around to see Madison standing there smiling at him. "Takin' Sakura to school today."
"Holy shit. This is a first." Smiles Madison.
"I promised her I would if she woke up. It worked." Smiles Li.
"I would say so. Who wouldn't wake up to that. Too bad Sakura's the only one of us still in school."
"She can handle herself."
"Oh I'm not worried about her. I'm worried about everyone else in that school. I heard about your flight last night. Some stunt."
"Yeah well what can I say, I had to fall for a deadly beauty." Says Li as he sees Sakura coming down the stairs loading her gun. "Do you really think you need that at school?"
Sakura looks up at Li and smiles, "Of course you never know." She says as she lifts up her skirt and put the gun in her leg holster.
Madison laughs and walks back into the kitchen.
"Ready?" asks Li as Sakura walks up to his side.
"If I have to go yeah I'm ready."
"You have to go." Says Li with a smile.
