Hi there my names Sakura. Here's the story of how my friends Tomoyo, Caitlin, Shayla and I met the Wolves and joined in the War to the Death against the Bears.
"Hey
Sakura hurry up or we'll be late!" An 18 year old girl with
brown hair with purple streaks that came to her chin yelled through
the door at her friend.
"Coming!" Sakura yelled
back. The girl went down the stairs to where the rest of the
Blossoms, a young singing group where waiting.
"She'll
be down soon." She said
"Well if she doesn't hurry up we'll be late." A 16 year old girl with light brown hair with blue streaks exclaimed.
"Calm down Shayla we'll make it." Another 18 year old girl with long black hair said.
"She's just being Shayla Tomoyo. It's nothing to worry 'bout" The girl with the purple streaks said.
"Shut up Caitlin. Just 'cause you're my older sister doesn't mean you know everything about me." Shayla said.
"I'm here!" An 18 year old girl with honey brown hair yelled, when she walked into the room,
"'Bout time Sakura." And with that Shayla grabbed her and pulled her out the door.
All four girls are living together. Caitlin and Shayla where the only family they had, until Sakura and Tomoyo came along, and then they moved in with Tomoyo and her mother into their huge house.
At the club waiting back stage, they're getting impatient. "Why can't we go on yet?" Sakura asked nobody in particular.
"I don't know we have to wait for someone or something." Tomoyo answered.
Then a guy came up to them. "Ok Blossoms, are you ready?" He asked
"Of course you idiot. We've been here for almost half an hour." Caitlin shot at him. The guy looked at Caitlin and she glared. Shayla and Sakura smirked at the guy when he turned and left. They got the signal to go on.
In the club's private area, a guy with amber eyes watched as four beauty's walked on stage. The first one had really short, dark brown hair with purple streaks and blue eyes. The next one had long black hair and violet eyes, the next after her had mid length honey brown hair and emerald eyes and the last one to appear had mid length light brown hair with blue streaks and blue eyes, you could tell she was the youngest. They were all dressed in black, and they all had amazing voices.
"Hey Li, something caught your eye or can we go back to business?" A guy asked behind him.
The 20 year old turned to look at him. "Sure lets gets back to business." He said as he turned around to face the other man in the room.
"I'd like to, but something has just caught my eye." Said a 20 year old blue haired guy, smiling.
"Eriol we can do that later." Syaoran said to him. "Right now we have to get to the situation on the Bears."
"Yeah they are killing us Wolves like there's no tomorrow." Koji the first guy to speak said.
"That's because we keep blowing up their drug factories. Also their ships and other means of transport" Eriol answered.
"We have to recruit some more people. Also we have get some weapon specialists in so we can start taking out bosses." Syaoran said.
"I agree I can start that tomorrow." Eriol replied, looking thoughtful.
"Good. Make sure these guys know what they are doing, I don't want a repeat of last time." Syaoran sat back and watched the girls performing on stage. Eriol shook his head. Last time they tried to take the bosses it was a massacre because the guys they sent in didn't know what they were doing.
Somewhere in the club close to the stage three men are also watching the girls. They sat shrouded in the shadows, ominous and full of power. Smoke curled around them and ice chinked in their glasses.
"I want the Emerald-eyed beauty." One said, licking his lips.
"No, I want the younger one." Another said.
"No we wait until the boss decides. We take them to him first." Another proclaimed.
"Can we take them now?" The first one asks.
"Of course." Then third announces taking out his gun slowly, careful not to draw attention too soon. The other two laugh, and more men throughout the club take out their guns smirking to each other.
One guy springs up and runs up onto stage and points his gun at Shayla making the girls stop singing. The stage lights continued their frenzy of colour surrounding the small group on the stage. The lights flashed on the black metal of the gun and people started screaming and running. Panic escalades coating the air thick with fear and people start running for the exits.
"All right Li, we'll be taking these four girls and be on our way." The third guy, Jiro Soto says into the microphone over the madness, moving closer to Tomoyo.
A guy grabs Caitlin around the waist and puts a gun to her head. "All right babe, we'll be going now." He says to her.
"Not if I can help it." She replies, and then elbows him in the stomach. He lets go of her and she knees him in the face and jump kicks his gun away, going for the next guy.
Syaoran takes this distraction to his advantage and he and his men take out a few of the men, while Shayla, Tomoyo and Sakura run for cover in different directions, while Caitlin fights some more of the guys on stage. Within minutes, the club breaks out into a major gang war battlefield.
'What are we going to do?' Tomoyo thought from her hiding spot, looking very worried, as someone flew past her and landed face first into the wall.
'I'm not just going to sit here and let my sister have all the fun.' Shayla thought, looking around for something to use. She picks up a very expensive-looking vase and waits for a guy to back unsuspecting up to her. In one swift move, Shayla knocks the guy over the head and sends him into unconsciousness, before ducking down before anyone sees her.
"You fight dirty." Sakura mouthed from her hiding spot, shaking her head but smiling.
At that moment though, Jiro finds Shayla's hiding spot and drags her out holding the gun to her head. "Stop there bitch or I'll blow her head off." he smirks.
Caitlin stops fighting and turns to face him. "No, let her go!" Caitlin exclaims
"Why should I do that? My men are dying around me and you, yourself have taken out some of them." Jiro smirks angrily at Caitlin holding the gun tighter against the side of Shayla's head.
"Please, let her go." Caitlin begs. Then from behind him Caitlin sees movement as Sakura sneaks up behind him. Sakura hits him across the back of the head with a plank of wood, knocking him unconscious.
"Thanks a lot Sakura." Shayla says gratefully.
"That's alright, are you ok?" Sakura asks picking up his discarded gun.
"Yeah" Shayla replies. Caitlin runs up and grabs both Shayla's and Sakura's arm and runs to find some cover and look for Tomoyo, whom they can't see, while gunfire and fights continued to heat up around them.
Sakura and the sisters split up so they can find Tomoyo. Sakura rounds a corner and comes face to face with a gun. "Hello pretty." The guy with gun says. Sakura didn't even get the chance to raise her gun when out of the darkness comes a girl with black hair and flashing crimson eyes and starts to attack the guy with the gun. Sakura leans against the wall and tries to calm down as she watches the fight between the guy and the black haired girl. She knocks him unconscious.
'Wow, she's even better than Caitlin.' Sakura thought.
"Hi the names Meilin. Are you looking for a girl with black hair and violet eyes?" Sakura nods. "Then follow me." She turns and walks away down the corridor, Sakura closely behind her.
Syaoran grabs a guys arm and throws him into a wall. The man groans, sliding to the ground slowly, Syaoran picks him up again and pins him against the wall.
"Syaoran, you know that you are scary when you're mad?" Eriol said beside him with a guy in a headlock. Syaoran growls deep in his throat. "What does Bear want?" Syaoran asks the guy he has pinned to the wall thrusting the guys head into the wall again for extra effect. The guy just groaned, so Syaoran let him drop and then pulled out his gun and shoots him in the head. He was coldly distant as the blood splattered against the wall and across his face.
"Who's next?" He runs off, taking out two more guys. Then grabbing another to try to interrogate.
"God, he's hopeless." Eriol sighs, sending a guy sprawling to the ground, before following after Syaoran.
Sakura and Meilin come to a door and Meilin opens it and it reveals Tomoyo. Sakura runs to her friend and they share a hug. "Oh Tomoyo, we've been looking for you everywhere!" Sakura starts to sob.
"It's all right. Meilin saved me. Where are Caitlin and Shayla?" Tomoyo asked, wondering why they weren't behind Sakura.
"We split up to search for you!" Sakura exclaimed.
"I'll go find them. Then I'll help you get out of here." Meilin interrupts, then she walks out of the room.
"Caitlin I don't think Tomoyo's down here." Shayla says behind her sister. Watching as Caitlin took out another guy.
"We still have to look. I hope Sakura's having better luck." Caitlin replies. Another guy comes from nowhere and pins Caitlin to the wall, his hands gripped around her neck. Shayla looks around for something to hit the guy holding her sister and sees a girl with long black hair running towards them. She grabs the guy off Caitlin and breaks his neck.
"Thank you." Caitlin gasps out.
"Not a problem. I suppose your Caitlin and Shayla and you're looking for a couple friends?" Caitlin and Shayla nod. "Follow me. " She turns and started running back the way she had come. Caitlin and Shayla looked at each other before following after her. They go past the room where Sakura and Tomoyo were hiding to collect them then Meilin leads them down a corridor and out of the club.
"Here's where I leave you. Now stay out of trouble and I'll contact you later." She says and then grabs the gun off Sakura that she managed to keep a hold of. "I'll take this if you don't mind. It might get you into trouble on the way home." Then she took off back into the club. The girls got into Tomoyo's car and take off home.
Eriol and Syaoran watched from a distance as the girls pulled out of the parking lot. Eriol sighed and turned to his cousin with a smile on his face. "I see you found something that interests you tonight?" He smirks.
Syaoran shot him a sideways glance. "So? That's my business. I don't remember anywhere that said it was yours as well."
"Touché." Eriol replied sarcastically.
"Go to Hell Hiragizawa." Syaoran spat, glaring at him before walking away to find Meilin. Eriol's laughter followed him as he walked away.
Eriol sighed. God, Syaoran was transparent when it came to that Emerald-eyed girl. But then again, he probably was when it came to the dark-haired beauty with the Violet eyes.
After they got home and changed, Sakura and Tomoyo decided to relax and try and forget about what had happened earlier. That is, until Caitlin walked in wearing a sports bra and shorts showing off all her tattoos, one on each ankle - a Phoenix on her right and Celtic symbols on her left and Celtic waves on her lower back.
"Come on girls. I'm going to teach you some self defence moves. Just in case this happens again." She said trying to drag Tomoyo off the couch.
"Oh come on! Can't just forget about tonight." Sakura said.
Caitlin shook her head. "No, we can't do that."
"Why not? We've forgotten other things before." Sakura stated, meaning when Caitlin was almost raped.
"I didn't and that's why I now know how to fight." Caitlin stated firmly.
Sakura got up from the chair she sitting on and Tomoyo let Caitlin drag her off the lounge and they both followed Caitlin outside where Shayla was waiting.
"I see she dragged you two out here as well. Come join the fun." Shayla stated sarcastically.
"Caitlin can't we do this tomorrow? For tonight can't we just be like Shayla and hit people over the head with anything we can get our hands on?" Whined Sakura.
"Hey! I resent that!" Shayla said glaring at Sakura.
"What's to resent? It was a good Idea and I'm trying to get out us out of this. You could at least help me." Defended Sakura.
"Caitlin it's too dark now." Tomoyo put in.
Caitlin glared at them, making them shut up. For over an hour, Caitlin showed the three girls some moves that would allow them to distract their attacker while they got away. Sakura picked up the moves really fast, Tomoyo was more graceful with her moves, while Shayla landed on her butt more than once and ended up swearing and trying until she eventually got the moves. After that they all retired to their rooms. Well Caitlin did. The rest waited until she was in her room and locked her in 'cause she wanted them all to get up early again the next day to start again.
At school on Monday, two days later, word had gotten around that one of the best clubs in town had been totally trashed by gang war.
"Can you believe it? That club's now out of business now." One girl said behind Shayla.
"Yeah I know." Replied her friend.
Shayla sighed and rolled her eyes, trying to keep focused on the lesson to block out the two girls gossiping. She looks at the clock, to see that it's nearly time for lunch. "Thank God." She sighs. Finally the bell rings and Shayla grabs their things and rushes out of the room before the two gossiping girls.
"Hey there." A voice comes from behind her. Shayla jumps startled.
"Aiden? What are you....."
"Came to see if you want to have lunch with me?" Aiden answers her unfinished question.
"Don't you have lunch with the Soccer Team?" She raises her eyebrow sceptically.
Aiden smiles guiltily. "In that case then, will you have lunch with me and the soccer team?"
Shayla studies him for a moment, and so do the girls behind Shayla. "Fine. But if I have to hear one more thing about gang wars, I'm leaving."
Aiden raises his arms defensively. "You won't hear anything from me. Promise."
"Good. Let's book it." Shayla states and drags Aiden off toward the soccer field.
"Hey Aiden! What took you so long?" Yells Kane a member of the team when they approach.
"To see if I wanted to have lunch with him. Satisfied?" Asked Shayla.
"Gees, no need to be a bitch Shayla. I was just asking." defended Kane.
"Well I am a bitch. So thanks for the compliment." Shayla shot back, strutting off to where her sister was sitting.
Aiden laughs and follows after her. "God Caitlin. You're teaching your little sister some bad habits." Kevin states.
Caitlin raises her fist and glares at him. Kevin cringes. "Do you have a problem with my little sister, Kevin?" Caitlin asks coldly.
"Nope. I was just joking around Caitlin. Honest." Kevin defended.
"Are you sure? I mean, we've just played a whole game of Soccer, I'm tired and hot and all I want right now is a hot shower, but I could manage to kick your arse to kingdom come and back, somewhere in between now and two seconds." She grins evilly.
"Want some help sis?" Asks Shayla, laughing.
"Nah. I'm not gonna be deprived of having some fun." Caitlin replies, still smiling.
"I-I didn't mean it! I swear!!" states Kevin, knowing what she is capable of. Caitlin starts chasing around the soccer field swearing she's gonna beat the crap out of him. Shayla and Aiden, along with the whole soccer team and Sakura and Tomoyo, who have just arrived burst out laughing at the sight.
"You should learn to stand up to my sister Kevin!" Yells Shayla, laughing.
"Yeah, she's not so bad once you tell her you're not takin' her crap." Aiden yells. Caitlin stops and turns towards them.
"Right!" Yells Caitlin, turning on them. "See if I ever stand up for you again you traitors!"
Sakura turns to Tomoyo. "Get ready. I feel a battle of the sisters coming up." Tomoyo laughs.
"Hey! We are not traitors!" Shayla defends.
Sakura looks at Tomoyo. "3 . . . "
"Yes you are!" Caitlin mock pouts. "Next time you get yourself into trouble, get your boy-toy, who's next to you to help you out. You're not gunna get any help from me anymore."
" 2 . . . "
Shayla's mouth hits the ground, along with Aiden's and the entire soccer teams. Shayla goes red and glares at Caitlin.
"1 . . . "Both Sakura and Tomoyo put their hands over their ears.
"CAILTIN!!" Both Aiden and Shayla yell. Caitlin burst out laughing and them screams when both Aiden and Shayla chase after her.
In a dark room. . Bear looks at his surviving man in front of him.
"Tell me Jiro. Have you found the girls yet?" He demands.
The survivor looks up and tries to hide his fear. "Yes. They're at the local High School." He looks down again.
"Keep watch over them. And tell me when Li makes his move." They guy bows and backs out of the room.
Jiro Soto walks down the dark corridor and sighs with relief. He had gotten off easy this time. "Boy, he's one cold son of a bitch. And now it's worse, since his sister disappeared all those years ago." He whispers to himself.
At 25, Bear was not someone you wanted to mess with. He was the type of person you did the job for and then got the hell away from as fast as you could. He was built heavily, with brown hair and brown, cold eyes. His strength had not been matched for years.
Somewhere else in Tomoeda, a girl by the name of Meilin Li sat in a chair across from her cousin.
"Oh come on Xiao Lang, please?" She pleaded with him.
"No. Aren't you meant to be at school already?" Syaoran deflected the question.
"God, you can be an idiot sometimes." She shot back, knowing what he was doing.
"No, those girls are not coming to the party on Friday." Syaoran said and left the room. Eriol got up and put his hand on her shoulder.
"It's all right. He'll come round." He said.
"Do you think so?" Meilin asked.
"If I have something to do with it, yeah." Eriol replied, smirking.
Friday after school, Sakura and Shayla are at cheer leading practice and Caitlin is at soccer practice. Tomoyo just sits on the benches and tapes soccer and/or cheerleading.
"Come on guys. Let's try the new cheer I showed you on Tuesday." Yells Sakura. She's the captain of the team. The girls get information and were going well, until Caitlin, Takashi and some of the boys from the soccer team come up and distract them by grabbing one of the girls doing a flip and toss her at her waiting boyfriend before Takashi dumps some water on then when they start making out.
"Did you know that in some countries, doing a cheer and dancing means that a woman's ready for a husband." Takashi said coming over to the rest of the group.
"Shut up, Takashi." Chiharu said annoyed and hit him across the back of the head.
"Some people never change." Tomoyo came over to them with her camera at her eye. Sakura, Shayla, Caitlin, Rika, Chiharu and Takashi sweat drop.
"What?" Tomoyo asked truly puzzled.
"Talk about the pot calling the kettle black ..." Whispered Rika. Those that heard laughed. Tomoyo glared at them, which made them laugh harder.
'There they are.' Thought Meilin as she went over to the group. "Hi. Remember me?" Meilin asked, smiling.
Sakura and the other three girls nodded, when they turned and looked at her. She had her hair up in a high ponytail, and she was wearing all black, except for her top, which was a short strap red top, and had black boots on.
"Yeah, we remember you. You're the one that helped us out at the club that night." Sakura said.
"I told ya that I would contact you." Meilin stated. "I was wondering if you would like to come to a kick arse party tonight?"
"I think we'll leave now guys. Bye." Chiharu interrupted.
"Bye." Sakura, Tomoyo, Caitlin and Shayla all said in union, as Chiharu, Rika, Naoko and Takashi left.
"So are you in or out?" Meilin asked. She looked at the girls in front of her.
"I guess so. It's not like we have anything planned for tonight." Tomoyo said looking at the others present, who all nodded in agreement.
"Good, let's go and check your clothes out and see what you can wear tonight." Meilin replied as they walked to the car park.
"I hope she's not another Tomoyo when it comes to clothes." Shayla whispered to Caitlin, who giggled.
"God, let's hope not." Caitlin replied thinking about the clothes she had in her cupboard.
Shayla looked at hers and Sakura's cheer leading uniforms, which were basically the same as when they were in Elementary, and then at Caitlin who had the schools soccer teams uniform and Tomoyo was in the school uniform, which was a black knee-high skirt, white shirt with a black tie, a light blue jacket with the gold emblem on the left side, white socks and black shoes.
When they got to Tomoyo's White Lotus GT1, Caitlin put her sports bag and school bag in the back and took out a motor bike helmet. Meilin looked at her funny.
"What?" Caitlin asked.
"You rode a motor bike." Meilin said. "And in a skirt? Since you would have been in your uniform." She said admiringly.
"How do you think the boys let me get on the soccer team? I had to race one of them, in a skirt or not. But it was worth it. I love to ride." Caitlin said.
"Hey! Don't forget about me! You're not the only one who loves to ride ya know." Shayla's angry reply came as she wanted some recognition here too.
Meilin gave both of them a look. Sakura laughed, as Shayla stormed off to tell her sister off.
"They're sisters."
Meilin nodded. "Shows." She stated dryly.
Meilin got in her Black Mercedes SL 600 and followed Tomoyo out of the school and Caitlin as well on her bike, with Shayla sitting behind her.
"That blue top and we'll go buy a skirt or pants." Meilin said to Shayla.
Meilin finished going through all their closets and they all had to buy something new. Especially Caitlin 'cause her wardrobe mainly contained of jeans, tops and gym clothes.
"Come on guys lets go shopping . . . Meilin style."
They all got into her car and drove off to the most expensive shops out of town.
"I want you to buy something black or leather. It's the dress code. "Meilin stated. They all gave her a look. "So you don't look out of place. . . ."
Sakura bought a black top to go with a cherry blossom pink mini skirt Meilin found in her closet. Tomoyo brought a black leather mini skirt to go with her spaghetti-strap violet top. Caitlin bought a black top and purple leather shorts and Shayla bought black leather pants to match her Aqua spaghetti-strap top. Each bought a leather dress jacket to match. In the shoe store, they all bought black leather knee-high boots.
"Why in the Hell did I agree to let those girls come?" Syaoran asked Eriol. They were sitting in Syaoran's office in their big mansion outside Tomoeda.
"Because my cute, little cousin, you wanted to see that Emerald-eyed beauty again. Admit it."
Syaoran just glared at him. "I told you to stop calling me that." He bit out.
"Just because you told me to stop, doesn't mean that I have to obey." Eriol laughed.
"Besides, you just want Meilin to be happy." Eriol continued. Syaoran just sighed and left his office. He had to get ready for tonight. Who knows what was going to happen? Eriol looked at the clock, and right on cue, Meilin walked in with four girls in tow.
"Eriol, I'd like you to met Sakura Kinomoto, Tomoyo Daidouji, Shayla Thomas and the one carrying her boots is Caitlin Thomas. Girls, meet Eriol Hiragizawa, one of my cousins. He's all the way from England."
"Greetings." Eriol greeted, smiling especially at Tomoyo.
"England, really? Caitlin and I have a Welsh father." Shayla said.
"Interesting." Eriol said and looked at the two girls. Then he spotted Caitlin Phoenix Tattoo. 'Very interesting.' He thought.
