BW2 Ok guys here's my big surprise! The sequel to Jade Fox v.s China Wolves. Crowd cheers Yes there was only one person who knew of this and that was Amy. ( Sorry I've forgotten your last name and your tag because my stupid email reloaded and I lost everything! ) So here it is people. Oh and by the way, if there is any simarlarities between my story, storyline, characters ( apart from Sakura etc ), or anything else, it is purely out of coincidence. I have not and I repeat NOT copied any one's idea, this is entirely from my own mind. So please don't accuse me of copying ideas from The Queen of Wolves or any other gang fic. Because it's not nice to be accused of such a crime! I do not own Sakura and all the other characters from CCS. So with that said lets begin! x x x x x

Previously . . .. . .
" Sakura?!! " Li asked stunned.
" Hai. "
" You- you're my - my - "
Sakura flicked her fan back and forth nervously.
" Hai. " she whispered, lowering her head.
Li walked up to her as if in a dream. He lifted her head and looked at her.
" You're afraid. "
" Hai. "
" Is that all you can say? "
" Hai. " she whispered.
" How did this happen? "
" I arranged it. "
Li looked at her.
" Why? "
" Isn't it obvious? " Sakura asked letting the mask fall and letting her love shine through brightly.
" If you'll have me. "
Li lifted her chin again and kissed her passionately, making all then Wolves cat call and whistle in delight. Madison fumed. Why hadn't she been told about this?!!! At least then she would have brought her camera!!
Li pulled away and looked at the Elders.
" What are you waiting for? Lets get on with it. "
Sakura giggled.
" What? " Li asked.
" You actually want Tori as a brother-in-law? "
Li growled and threw Tori a death glare.
" Even for you, I'll put up with it. "
Sakura reached up and kissed him passionately and the ceremony began. . .
*************************************************************************************************
A year later
The members of the Black Wolves had settled down to their new lives and were happy and content for the last year, but now other gangs were starting to wonder if they were still all they claimed to be. A rising was being rumoured, though no facts could proove it for certain. Sakura, now happily married to Li was content and happy, and didn't let the rumours bother her. She was married and in love and she knew that whatever the obstacle they could over come it without difficulty. I mean she didn't go through all that she had been through in her life just to get the Wolves to the top with Li and then fall down to the bottom. Although Wolf had been dead for a while now, she still felt oblidged to hold her promise to him and knowing her stubborn streak and determinatiuon, she knew she wouldn't let anything happen.
When Sakura really thought about it, it was funny in some strange way. Since the time when she had married Li, a year ago now, she reflected with amusement and surprise that after she had married Li, a tranquil and peaceful air seem to befall all the gangs of both China and Japan. No gang wars would break out, it would seem that under the strict rule of the Black Wolves their actually was peace. Under their protection, none dared fight for fear of their elimination. The Black Wolves weren't just the strongest force known, they were a formidible force that none could stop.
All the girls in the Black Wolves, seemed to settle and relax, now that the fight for survival was for now temporally forgotten. They still went to parties, but when it came to settling business or making deals, they just didn't seem to want to be a part of it. They were just too happy.
Madison still collected data and files for her laptop, ( you know the one that holds all info. ) And she now had one of the most wanted file records in the world. She spent some of her weeks tomenting the police, that had some how got wind of her possessing such valuable info. She would laugh and enjoy taunting the head of Tomoeda's head quarters on the phone when they tried to buy it from her.
This was how it was, but things were going to start to change as all things seem to do whrn everything seems to be too perfect. Madison was starting to see condemming evidence that gangs were starting to cause trouble and they all grew agitated at the thought that their lives could never be peaceful and without the having to fight to keep what you held so dear.
So this is were we find our hero's currently . . trying to figure out where the new enemy is located. . .
Li's Study
Li hugged Sakura to him as she sat on his lap as the meeting continued. Sakura sighed as she rested her head on his shoulder as she tried not to fall asleep. Meetings were sooo boring! All they did was talk about stuff that she already knew. Li looked down at the top of her head and then back to the others present at the meeting. Sakura was dressed in jeans and a light pink singlet top. Her feet were bare and to the eye she looked as innocent as ever.
Eriol was standing in front of them at the other end of the table looking down on a map. His face was lit in light, while the rest of him and the others in the room remained in shadow as he hovered over the map.
" Now the Saber Fangs are doing a deal tonight and it's rumoured that they are planning to rise against us. Komoji is planning on bribing the Street Fighters with our money, money that we gave in good faith. We want it back and we want to repay the favor. "
The others murmured their approval. One of them flicked his cigerette and took a draw on it. He blew the smoke into the air.
" But where is this deal going down and how do we get Komoji? "
Sakura's patience was wearing thin. Of late things were moving too slowly and she was easily put off and she was becoming very impatient.
" Oh look for the love of money. " Sakura seethed as she got up off Li's lap and made her way to the wall where she flung back a painting and typed in a code to the safe. She pulled out a manila folder and slapped it down on the desk. Her emerald eyes flashed wildly as she glarred at all of them.
" For starters, " she began impatiently. " The deal will be taking place near Blackjack Avenue. " She threw open the manila folder and scattered it's contents startling Li, Eriol and the others as they watched her.
" Komoji will be going to the new club Hot Legs at exactly 9:30 pm tonight. From there if all goes well he will make a seemingly inocent phone call for all those watching. His dealer - Brendon, will tell him how things stands, and if everything is to Komoji's liking, the deal will be settled. "
Sakura turned to Eriol.
" I recieved this information two days ago. Whoever you are getting your info from is screwing you around Eriol. " Sakura stated firmly. " I am sick and tired of all of us beating around the bush all the time when we could be out there doing something with our lives instead of always standing around trying to counter attack all those that come to call. For god sake people, if they want to have first postion so freaking badly, let them have it. "
Li rose out of his chair and placed his hands on the desk.
" Sakura - " he started but Sakura cut him off.
" No Li. I've had enough. " she said and excused herself and left, closing the door loudly behind her.
Everyone looked at the door and then turned to look at Li. Li sighed and ran his hand threw his hair.
" Eriol take care of this will you? Start getting everything ready and call in Zachery to help you. I'll go talk to Sakura. "
* * *
Li opened their bedroom door and saw Sakura standing out on the huge balcony. He pushed back the white curtain as he went out into the light.
" You wanna tell me what all that was about? " he asked as he came up behind her.
" I'm sorry Li. " Sakura replied looking out over the city. " I just can't help it. "
Li placed his hand on her shoulder and she turned to look at him.
" Is there something bothering you? " Li asked concerned.
Sakura shook her head looking down at the ground.
" Not in that sense, no. It's just lately things couldn't move fast enough. Everything just seems so slow and anything is getting on my nerves. I'm fidgety and can't stop moving. I just - "
Li lifted her chin so she had to look at him.
" Things have been pretty lax around here for a while, maybe it's time that we pick up the pace a little? " Li's eyes softened as he looked at her.
" Ever since we married I've been so careful not to let anything harm you, but it would seem that in my over-protectiveness, I've forgotten how much you love being a part of everything. "
" Li -" Sakura started but Li silenced her.
" Sakura I love you and I never want to lose what we have. You're everything to me and without you, there is no Wolves, and there is no me. I'm not complete without you. "
Sakura's eyes misted up and she hugged him tightly.
" You don't need to tell me how hopelessly lost you would be without me I already know. "
Li chuckled and hugged her tightly in return. She stepped back from him and he half smiled at her.
" Are you sure that nothing is bothering you? " Li asked.
Sakura nodded, hiding her own worry.
" How about we go for a drive somewhere, just you and I, get away from the mansion and just go somewhere and do anything you want? "
Sakura smiled sadly.
" But don't you have to go settle and old score? "
Li cringed as he remembered. He saw the sadness in her eyes and stroked her cheek. He leant his forehead against hers and closed his eyes.
" I swear I'll make it up to you Sakura. I promise. "
" I- " Sakura began but a knock sounded on the door as Eriol walked in.
" Li I'm sorry, but Madison refuses to do anything for tonight unless Sakura accompanies her. Meilin told me to give you a message: Let Sakura do tonight all she kick your ass to kingdom come and god help you in the morning. "
Sakura laughed catching them both off guard. They hadn't heard her laugh in a while since the business with the rising began.
" You can tell Meilin and Madison that I'm doing tonight and no one can stop me. "
" What?!! " Li yelped looking at her.
" Sakura, Komoji isn't one to mess around with. "
Sakura smirked, some of her old self shining through.
" Don't worry Li. If you screw up I'll be there to protect you. " she said haughtily as she walked back into the room.
" Hey what? What do you mean " If I screw it up?" "
Sakura looked at him sexily as she reached for the door handle.
" One look at me in action and you'll forget what you're doing. " Sakura replied and walked out of the room towards Meilin's room.
" You alright? " Eriol asked coming to stand beside Li.
" Yeah I guess. " Li said running his hand through his hair.
Eriol watched his cousin in concern and clapped him on the back.
" Look I can't tell you what to do cos I know you won't listen to me anyway. But I will say this: You have got to keep your mind opened and focussed tonight and you have to trust Sakura. She knows what she is doing and she won't let you down. It's been a while for all of us. "
Li sighed again and looked at Eriol.
" Thanks man, I can count on you for good advice. "
Eriol raised his eyebrow.
" Do I dare believe that you just complimented me? " Eriol smirked and Li came up short.
" Yeah, but just for this once. " Li replied smirking seing the look of disbelief on Eriol's face.
" Come on, we have things to get ready. " Li said and walked out of the room, Eriol in shocked silence behind him.
*************************************************************************************************
8.30 pm that night.
Sakura struck a pose in front of the mirror along with Meilin and Madison. They were all dressed in Black and very revealing clothing. Leiko and Christina laughed from Meilin's bed and watched them as Sakura did a few moves. Leiko shook her head and continued to read the magazine in front of her, laying on her stomach swinging her feet back and forth as she read.
" Sakura I don't know what you're worried about? You can still move like no other I know, so stop making me and everyone else jealous. " Christina stated.
Sakura looked at Christina in the mirror and smiled. Christina had long blonde hair that put Barbie to shame. At the moment it was tied back and was curled and made her look really cool. She had blue eyes and was a little shorter than Sakura. But she had an attitude and may someone help any who got on her bad side. That's why she and Leiko were really good friends, you could never tear them apart.
" Just checking. " Sakura laughed.
Leiko was holding up the magazine she was looking at.
" You know girls I can't see what guys get out of looking at this stuff. They're just pictures of girls in swim wear. " she said truly confused and intrigued as she looked through the magazine of girls dressed in sexy swim wear that she had found in Skylar's room.
" You hentai. " Madison accused laughing as they saw Skylar walking past the door.
He came to a dead hault and stood in the door way looking horrorfied.
" Where'd you get that?!!? " he demanded going red.
Leiko continued to flip through the pictures, turning the magazine at different angles.
" Yeah I can really see why you get off on this. " she said sarcastically, watching Skylar from her peripheral vision.
" Give me that! " Skylar lunged at Leiko trying to snatch it out of her hands, but she rolled off the bed and scrambled away from him. Sakura and the others danced out of the way laughing as Leiko chucked the magazine to Christina who caught it and hid it behind her back, smirking when Skylar hadn't seen the tranaction.
" How many times have I told you to stay out of my room?! " Skylar demanded, tackling Leiko who couldn't stop laughing.
" Hey Skylar, " Meilin taunted. " If you wanna look at real girls in sexy stuff all you had to was ask. We can give more than what those prissy little things can do. " Meilin stated hauntily smiling evilly.
Madison laughing, nodded and then looked at Sakura.
" Yeah all except for Sakura. She's married. "
Sakura looked at Madison mock glaring. Christina whistled at Skylar waving his magazine tauntingly from the doorway.
" Lets see how you can explain about the other 5 under your mattress. " she said and sprinted off, Skylar hot on her tail, the others cat calling and laughing at they left.
" Oh shit my maskara's running. " Leiko cried as she continued to laugh, wiping her eyes.
Sakura held her stomach as they heard the racket outside in the hallway as Christina and Skylar fought it out.
Li and Eriol appeared in the doorway looking at the scene before them amused.
" And what has got you all so amused? " Li asked looking at them all.
Sakura tried to answer but buckled over laughing harder as Christina's blurred image flew past the door.
" Hi Li, bye Li. " Christina cried as Skylar flew past after her.
" How is is possible for girls to run that fast in high heels? " Eriol asked raising his eyebrows at Li questioningly.
" Elementry my dear Eriol. " Madison said looking over at him, composing herself somewhat.
" We are women and we are born with gift. " she stated proudly.
" R-i-g-h-t. " Eriol said making Madison glare at him. " Anyway are you ready? "
" Be right with you! " Christina cried as she ran past the door again and skidded to a hault and ducked as Skylar dived over her and tucked and rolled and landed glarring up at Christina who smirked.
" Anyone care to look at the newest line in swim wear fashion? " Christina said innocently pushing the magazine into Li's chest as she walked back into the room composing herself.
" I'll take that. " Skylar said breathing heavily as he snatched it out of Li's hands and walked back down the hallway.
" What was that about? " Li asked.
Sakura walked up to Li and ran her finger down his jaw looking at him seductively.
" Don't worry about it Li as long as I never find anything like that under your side of the bed, you'll continue to live. " she stated and looked at the others.
" Ready to go? "
" Just a sec I have to fix my maskara. " Leiko said looking away from the mirror.
Li looked at Sakura curiously. What had Skylar been looking at?
* * *
" Ready to go? " Li asked looking over his shoulder at Sakura who sat behind him on the bike.
Sakura's stomach fluttered and she took a deep breath. Her body was buzzing with adrenilin and she wanted to be gone.
" Fine. Let's book it. " she said and Li revved the bike and the others followed as they shot forward and speed down the highway towards the new club.
*************************************************************************************************
9.25pm at the club
Li rolled to a stop and Sakura let go of his waist and got off the bike and shook her hair free as she took off the helmet. She turned and saw looking at her, his eyes showing his desire, making Sakura blush.
" Everyone know there positions? " Eriol asked loud enough for them to hear, but no others.
They all nodded. Madison kissed Eriol soundly on the mouth before walking off, hips swaying sexily as she joined to others. Li looked at Sakura as she made a cute face at him and blew him a kiss as she turned around, curls dancing, and walked off towards the club, her boots making a sound as she walked to the entrance. It took all of Li's reserve to stop himself from chasing after her and telling her to go back home away from danger.
* * *
Li watched from the second floor of the club as everyone got into position. Sakura looked up and spotted Li and smiled. Realising she was starring, she shook her head and made herself look anywhere but at Li, for this so called Komoji.
" Here, put this on. " Eriol said as he handed Li one of the ear pieces that Madison had given him ages ago.
" Now Madison and Christina are going to see what they can find out information wise.
Leiko and Skylar are going to do the whole greeting with Komoji when he goes to make the call. Alex, Jamie and Sakura are watching out for anything suss. Any others are out front and keeping an eye out. "
" Good. " Li said and took a sip of his drink. " Leiko come in. Anything? "
**
Leiko turned away from the crowd and lowered her head to her shirt so Li could hear her.
" No, not yet. "
**
" Madison? " Li asked.
**
" I maybe getting a lead on something, buzz off. I'll call you. "
**
Eriol smirked when he'd heard that. ( He has in an earpiece too. ) And took a sip of his drink. Alex and the others came and sat down at the table and ordered some drinks.
" Something isn't right. " Alex said. " I can't see any other Saber Fangs. It's weird. "
That made Li a little uneasy, but they couldn't back off now.
* * *
Sakura had been dancing with some guys and was now sitting back at the bar. She wasn't looking for anything and that's why she spotted it. All near the exits, she noticed there were people dressed in drench coats and trying not to stand out. They all kept looking one way and when she followed their gaze, she spotted Komoji sitting at a table surrounded by people laughing at something someone had said. Two blondes were latching on to him and making themselves known and Sakura gagged.
Sakura looked up and caught Li looking in the other direction and couldn't get his attention. Because she hadn't been doing anything too important she hadn't been given a communication link, so she couldn't tell Li their mistake. The reason they couldn't see any Saber Fangs was because they were trying not to be seen. Why they were hiding, she didn't know. She looked up at the clock on the back wall and saw that it was 9.27pm. She didn't have long. If she didn't act now they whole opporation would be screwed.
Without thinking she grabbed a drink and made her way over to Komoji's table and all the while praying to god she didn't blow this.
**
Li was just about to take a sip of his drink when Leiko's voice came over loud and clear.
" Hey! What the -? What the fuck is Sakura doing? "
Li's gaze riveted to the floor below him.
" Where? " Li barked.
" Over near the bar and then straight ahead. " Leiko's stated.
Li's gaze pierced Sakura's back as he watch her walk up to Komoji and offering him a drink.
**
Komoji stopped laughing and looked up at Sakura and his gaze raked over her body devouring her as he went.
" Can I offer you a drink? " she asked looking at him seductively.
" You've managed to get my attention, what do you want? " Komoji demanded.
Sakura smirked and went behind him and ran her fingers gently down his jawline and lent down to his ear.
" What I want I don't think your guests would appriciate hearing and I think your whores here would die of fright of being out out of a job. " Sakura whispered, making Komoji smirk.
" Is that so? "
Sakura turned his head to face her and her emerald eyes bored into his.
" You know it to be true. " she stated and she gently placed a kiss on his cheek.
" Isn't that guarantee of what can be? " she asked sexily.
Sakura ignored the death glare that her husband and the whores on either side of her were giving her.
" Hmmm. " Komoji said looking at her. " What would I want with you? "
Sakura was desperate. Any second now his phone would ring and she would be left standing there knowing she had failed. She leant down to his ear and whispered:
" I may be a virgin, but I am certainly not innocent. " trying not to shrudder. " I am offering you a most very precious opportunity and don't you think you'd prefer someone pure and not like these worn out whores who'd rather take your money than offer any consolations for your trouble. " she lied.
Komoji's eyes widened and abruptly he stood up, pushing the two blondes away from him.
" Excuse me ladies and gentlemen, I emergency has come up and I must leave you for a few minutes. Excuse me. " Komoji said taking Sakura's hand and leading her next to him as he walked towards the stairs that lead to the roof.
**
" What the fuck is she doing?!!? " Li practically yelled jumping up, anger burning in every muscle.
" Settle down! " Eriol grabbed him and pushed him back into his chair.
" Madison what's going on? Find out. " Eriol commanded.
**
" Will do. " Madison replied and made her way through the crowd until she was standing next to a guy in Sakura's line of vision. Sakura looked up and met her gaze and Madison glarred at her and mouthed:
" What the hell are you doing? "
Just then Komoji's phone rang and Sakura froze. Komoji stopped and greeted one of his friends as he answered it.
" Look, I'm going somewhere private, I'll put you on hold. "
Sakura sighed and nearly jumped when Leiko appeared beside her with Jamie making out that they were making out.
" What the hell are you doing? " Jamie demanded in a whisper as Leiko kissed his neck.
Komoji was saying good bye to his friend and Sakura quickly said.
" The exits. Guys in trench coats. " was all she got out before Komoji was tugging her along.
" R-O-O-F. " Sakura mouthed at them, pointing up before snuggling up to Komoji.
**
" Ok Li are you there? " Madison said rushing through the crowd up towards the stair case that Sakura and Komoji were taking.
" Go ahead Madison. " came Li's angry voice.
" Theres Saber's at every exit. They're under disguise. They were waiting for one of us to make the move. Sakura couldn't get word to us in time. They weren't watching her, so she went for it. She got Komoji's attention and now they're heading up to the roof
alone. "
Li crushed the bottle he was holding and jumped up signalling that it was time to go.
* * *
Sakura let Komoji trap her against the cold wall as he kissed her neck hungrily. As much as Sakura wanted to shudder she couldn't blow it. She gulped and ran her fingers threw his hair as he moved lower.
" Easy cowboy. " Sakura stated in a whisper. " We don't need to rush. "
Komoji sparred her a glance and continued on his way.
In the shadows Eriol, Jamie and Alex fought their hardest to restrain Li who was about to yell bloody murder.
" Didn't you have someone that wanted to talk to you? " Sakura said innocnetly.
Komoji froze and swore colourfully picking up his phone and turning his back and walking away from Sakura.
" Hello? " he said and that's when Sakura struck. She rammed her gun into the back of his head and Komoji fell to the floor and as quick as lightning she picked up his phone and keeping an eye on Komoji's crumpled form, she listened as Brendon started telling her everything that they wanted to know.
" Komoji?" Brendon said.
" Thank you Brendon. You've made all my sacrifices worth it this night. " Sakura said sweetly as Li and the others jumped down and tugged Komoji's form up and bound it.
" Who is this? " Brendon demanded.
" Wouldn't you like to know. " she said sweetly looking at Li. " But the thing is, you screwed up Brendon. Someone's been a naughty boy haven't they? " she taunted.
" Where is Komoji? " Brendon demanded sounding a little panicked.
" Oh he's not available at the moment. He's taking a little nap, but you might want to get him some aspirin for when he wakes up in the morning, because no doubt he's going to have one very bad headache. " Sakura chuckled smirking and hung up.
Li yelled in anger and punched Komoji in the face as he slept, making his head snap back.
" That, you bastard, is for touching my wife. " Li spat.
Blood trickled out of Komoji's nose as Li made his way over to Sakura and held her tightly.
" Are you alright? Did he hurt you? What the hell were you thinking?!!? "
Sakura met his angry and concerned gaze and smiled faintly. For some reason she could smell Komoji's blood and it made her gag and before Li or any other could help her, Sakura raced to the side of the balcony and threw up. Retching up everything she had eaten earlier.
Li made it to her when the door was thrown open and the Saber Fang's Sakura had seen earlier burst through the door and started firing on them. Sakura who had been wiping the back of her hand across her mouth was pulled down by Li and covered as he fired round after round on the Saber's.
Sakura gagged again and dived for the side and threw up again as Li covered her and fired.
" Some one cover us! " Li shouted as he kicked one of the Saber's away from them.
" Jesus Sakura you pick the worst times! " Li yelled as he knocked out another, Madison and Christina coming to their side.
Ignoring the intense smell of blood, Sakura whipped out her gun and shot three guys that were surrounding Alex, following another two by Meilin.
More were coming and they were easyly getting out numbered. Meilin saw the metal ladder on the side of the building and called everyone's attention to it. Sakura and Li dashed over to it and Li covered Sakura as she gracefully leapt over the side of the building and slide all the way to the ground, running to their cars as the others followed.
All the way back to the mansion, Li held Sakura in the back seat as she continued to feel sick. She managed to tell them what Brendon had told her and closed her eyes fighting nausea as they drove in through the Black Wolf Mansion gates.
* * *
" I've called Wei. " Li stated as he wiped Sakura's forehead with a damp cloth.
" Oh Li. " Sakura moaned. " I'm fine. "
" Didn't look like that to us. " came Eriol's voice as he leaned in the doorway with Madison.
" I feel sorry for any people that were below you on the pavement. "
Sakura blushed red and burried her face in the pillow she had been hugging.
" You are disgusting. "
Leiko and the others were trying not to laugh at the prospect of being " creamed " by Sakura.
" Poor, poor people. " Christina taunted.
" Ok guys break it up. " Wei said as he made his way into the room.
Li kissed Sakura on her forehead.
" We'll be back as soon as we can. I promise. " he whispered.
" I love you. " Sakura mumbled as Li and the other guys walked away, leaving Madison and the other girls behind.
" Love you too. " Li replied and shrugged back into his jacket and disapeared out of sight.
Wei watched them go and turned to Sakura.
" Now my dear. Lets see what's wrong. "
* * *
12.30am
Zachery yelled happily as he slammed on the acelerator and sped down the highway cheering with the others as they watched the Saber Fang's headquarters blow sky high. They had all their money back, plus interest and had totally screwed them. Zachery turned the corner quickly and expertly and pondered whether or not their was any of them left.
The car phone rang and Zachery reached it before Alex.
" Yeah hello? "
" Hey Zach it's me Chel. " came Chelsea's excited voice. There was lot of noise coming from the background.
" What's going on? " Zachery asked.
" A party. " Chelsea. " So get your asses back here and celebrate! " and with that she hung up.
Zachery shrugged and forced the car to go faster and sped into the Wolf Mansion. Alex got out and gave Zachery a look.
" Renmind me man to never race you. You can drive. " he said making Zachery laugh.
" Come on. Chel will kill me if we don't get in there. "
Li frowned when they opened the door and heard female voices yelling loudly and happily. They walked into the foyer and followed the voices till they came to the living room. All the girls were drinking and laughing.
" What's going on? " Li said loooking around.
To Be Continued . . .
*************************************************************************************************
Previously . . .. . .
" Sakura?!! " Li asked stunned.
" Hai. "
" You- you're my - my - "
Sakura flicked her fan back and forth nervously.
" Hai. " she whispered, lowering her head.
Li walked up to her as if in a dream. He lifted her head and looked at her.
" You're afraid. "
" Hai. "
" Is that all you can say? "
" Hai. " she whispered.
" How did this happen? "
" I arranged it. "
Li looked at her.
" Why? "
" Isn't it obvious? " Sakura asked letting the mask fall and letting her love shine through brightly.
" If you'll have me. "
Li lifted her chin again and kissed her passionately, making all then Wolves cat call and whistle in delight. Madison fumed. Why hadn't she been told about this?!!! At least then she would have brought her camera!!
Li pulled away and looked at the Elders.
" What are you waiting for? Lets get on with it. "
Sakura giggled.
" What? " Li asked.
" You actually want Tori as a brother-in-law? "
Li growled and threw Tori a death glare.
" Even for you, I'll put up with it. "
Sakura reached up and kissed him passionately and the ceremony began. . .
*************************************************************************************************
A year later
The members of the Black Wolves had settled down to their new lives and were happy and content for the last year, but now other gangs were starting to wonder if they were still all they claimed to be. A rising was being rumoured, though no facts could proove it for certain. Sakura, now happily married to Li was content and happy, and didn't let the rumours bother her. She was married and in love and she knew that whatever the obstacle they could over come it without difficulty. I mean she didn't go through all that she had been through in her life just to get the Wolves to the top with Li and then fall down to the bottom. Although Wolf had been dead for a while now, she still felt oblidged to hold her promise to him and knowing her stubborn streak and determinatiuon, she knew she wouldn't let anything happen.
When Sakura really thought about it, it was funny in some strange way. Since the time when she had married Li, a year ago now, she reflected with amusement and surprise that after she had married Li, a tranquil and peaceful air seem to befall all the gangs of both China and Japan. No gang wars would break out, it would seem that under the strict rule of the Black Wolves their actually was peace. Under their protection, none dared fight for fear of their elimination. The Black Wolves weren't just the strongest force known, they were a formidible force that none could stop.
All the girls in the Black Wolves, seemed to settle and relax, now that the fight for survival was for now temporally forgotten. They still went to parties, but when it came to settling business or making deals, they just didn't seem to want to be a part of it. They were just too happy.
Madison still collected data and files for her laptop, ( you know the one that holds all info. ) And she now had one of the most wanted file records in the world. She spent some of her weeks tomenting the police, that had some how got wind of her possessing such valuable info. She would laugh and enjoy taunting the head of Tomoeda's head quarters on the phone when they tried to buy it from her.
This was how it was, but things were going to start to change as all things seem to do whrn everything seems to be too perfect. Madison was starting to see condemming evidence that gangs were starting to cause trouble and they all grew agitated at the thought that their lives could never be peaceful and without the having to fight to keep what you held so dear.
So this is were we find our hero's currently . . trying to figure out where the new enemy is located. . .
Li's Study
Li hugged Sakura to him as she sat on his lap as the meeting continued. Sakura sighed as she rested her head on his shoulder as she tried not to fall asleep. Meetings were sooo boring! All they did was talk about stuff that she already knew. Li looked down at the top of her head and then back to the others present at the meeting. Sakura was dressed in jeans and a light pink singlet top. Her feet were bare and to the eye she looked as innocent as ever.
Eriol was standing in front of them at the other end of the table looking down on a map. His face was lit in light, while the rest of him and the others in the room remained in shadow as he hovered over the map.
" Now the Saber Fangs are doing a deal tonight and it's rumoured that they are planning to rise against us. Komoji is planning on bribing the Street Fighters with our money, money that we gave in good faith. We want it back and we want to repay the favor. "
The others murmured their approval. One of them flicked his cigerette and took a draw on it. He blew the smoke into the air.
" But where is this deal going down and how do we get Komoji? "
Sakura's patience was wearing thin. Of late things were moving too slowly and she was easily put off and she was becoming very impatient.
" Oh look for the love of money. " Sakura seethed as she got up off Li's lap and made her way to the wall where she flung back a painting and typed in a code to the safe. She pulled out a manila folder and slapped it down on the desk. Her emerald eyes flashed wildly as she glarred at all of them.
" For starters, " she began impatiently. " The deal will be taking place near Blackjack Avenue. " She threw open the manila folder and scattered it's contents startling Li, Eriol and the others as they watched her.
" Komoji will be going to the new club Hot Legs at exactly 9:30 pm tonight. From there if all goes well he will make a seemingly inocent phone call for all those watching. His dealer - Brendon, will tell him how things stands, and if everything is to Komoji's liking, the deal will be settled. "
Sakura turned to Eriol.
" I recieved this information two days ago. Whoever you are getting your info from is screwing you around Eriol. " Sakura stated firmly. " I am sick and tired of all of us beating around the bush all the time when we could be out there doing something with our lives instead of always standing around trying to counter attack all those that come to call. For god sake people, if they want to have first postion so freaking badly, let them have it. "
Li rose out of his chair and placed his hands on the desk.
" Sakura - " he started but Sakura cut him off.
" No Li. I've had enough. " she said and excused herself and left, closing the door loudly behind her.
Everyone looked at the door and then turned to look at Li. Li sighed and ran his hand threw his hair.
" Eriol take care of this will you? Start getting everything ready and call in Zachery to help you. I'll go talk to Sakura. "
* * *
Li opened their bedroom door and saw Sakura standing out on the huge balcony. He pushed back the white curtain as he went out into the light.
" You wanna tell me what all that was about? " he asked as he came up behind her.
" I'm sorry Li. " Sakura replied looking out over the city. " I just can't help it. "
Li placed his hand on her shoulder and she turned to look at him.
" Is there something bothering you? " Li asked concerned.
Sakura shook her head looking down at the ground.
" Not in that sense, no. It's just lately things couldn't move fast enough. Everything just seems so slow and anything is getting on my nerves. I'm fidgety and can't stop moving. I just - "
Li lifted her chin so she had to look at him.
" Things have been pretty lax around here for a while, maybe it's time that we pick up the pace a little? " Li's eyes softened as he looked at her.
" Ever since we married I've been so careful not to let anything harm you, but it would seem that in my over-protectiveness, I've forgotten how much you love being a part of everything. "
" Li -" Sakura started but Li silenced her.
" Sakura I love you and I never want to lose what we have. You're everything to me and without you, there is no Wolves, and there is no me. I'm not complete without you. "
Sakura's eyes misted up and she hugged him tightly.
" You don't need to tell me how hopelessly lost you would be without me I already know. "
Li chuckled and hugged her tightly in return. She stepped back from him and he half smiled at her.
" Are you sure that nothing is bothering you? " Li asked.
Sakura nodded, hiding her own worry.
" How about we go for a drive somewhere, just you and I, get away from the mansion and just go somewhere and do anything you want? "
Sakura smiled sadly.
" But don't you have to go settle and old score? "
Li cringed as he remembered. He saw the sadness in her eyes and stroked her cheek. He leant his forehead against hers and closed his eyes.
" I swear I'll make it up to you Sakura. I promise. "
" I- " Sakura began but a knock sounded on the door as Eriol walked in.
" Li I'm sorry, but Madison refuses to do anything for tonight unless Sakura accompanies her. Meilin told me to give you a message: Let Sakura do tonight all she kick your ass to kingdom come and god help you in the morning. "
Sakura laughed catching them both off guard. They hadn't heard her laugh in a while since the business with the rising began.
" You can tell Meilin and Madison that I'm doing tonight and no one can stop me. "
" What?!! " Li yelped looking at her.
" Sakura, Komoji isn't one to mess around with. "
Sakura smirked, some of her old self shining through.
" Don't worry Li. If you screw up I'll be there to protect you. " she said haughtily as she walked back into the room.
" Hey what? What do you mean " If I screw it up?" "
Sakura looked at him sexily as she reached for the door handle.
" One look at me in action and you'll forget what you're doing. " Sakura replied and walked out of the room towards Meilin's room.
" You alright? " Eriol asked coming to stand beside Li.
" Yeah I guess. " Li said running his hand through his hair.
Eriol watched his cousin in concern and clapped him on the back.
" Look I can't tell you what to do cos I know you won't listen to me anyway. But I will say this: You have got to keep your mind opened and focussed tonight and you have to trust Sakura. She knows what she is doing and she won't let you down. It's been a while for all of us. "
Li sighed again and looked at Eriol.
" Thanks man, I can count on you for good advice. "
Eriol raised his eyebrow.
" Do I dare believe that you just complimented me? " Eriol smirked and Li came up short.
" Yeah, but just for this once. " Li replied smirking seing the look of disbelief on Eriol's face.
" Come on, we have things to get ready. " Li said and walked out of the room, Eriol in shocked silence behind him.
*************************************************************************************************
8.30 pm that night.
Sakura struck a pose in front of the mirror along with Meilin and Madison. They were all dressed in Black and very revealing clothing. Leiko and Christina laughed from Meilin's bed and watched them as Sakura did a few moves. Leiko shook her head and continued to read the magazine in front of her, laying on her stomach swinging her feet back and forth as she read.
" Sakura I don't know what you're worried about? You can still move like no other I know, so stop making me and everyone else jealous. " Christina stated.
Sakura looked at Christina in the mirror and smiled. Christina had long blonde hair that put Barbie to shame. At the moment it was tied back and was curled and made her look really cool. She had blue eyes and was a little shorter than Sakura. But she had an attitude and may someone help any who got on her bad side. That's why she and Leiko were really good friends, you could never tear them apart.
" Just checking. " Sakura laughed.
Leiko was holding up the magazine she was looking at.
" You know girls I can't see what guys get out of looking at this stuff. They're just pictures of girls in swim wear. " she said truly confused and intrigued as she looked through the magazine of girls dressed in sexy swim wear that she had found in Skylar's room.
" You hentai. " Madison accused laughing as they saw Skylar walking past the door.
He came to a dead hault and stood in the door way looking horrorfied.
" Where'd you get that?!!? " he demanded going red.
Leiko continued to flip through the pictures, turning the magazine at different angles.
" Yeah I can really see why you get off on this. " she said sarcastically, watching Skylar from her peripheral vision.
" Give me that! " Skylar lunged at Leiko trying to snatch it out of her hands, but she rolled off the bed and scrambled away from him. Sakura and the others danced out of the way laughing as Leiko chucked the magazine to Christina who caught it and hid it behind her back, smirking when Skylar hadn't seen the tranaction.
" How many times have I told you to stay out of my room?! " Skylar demanded, tackling Leiko who couldn't stop laughing.
" Hey Skylar, " Meilin taunted. " If you wanna look at real girls in sexy stuff all you had to was ask. We can give more than what those prissy little things can do. " Meilin stated hauntily smiling evilly.
Madison laughing, nodded and then looked at Sakura.
" Yeah all except for Sakura. She's married. "
Sakura looked at Madison mock glaring. Christina whistled at Skylar waving his magazine tauntingly from the doorway.
" Lets see how you can explain about the other 5 under your mattress. " she said and sprinted off, Skylar hot on her tail, the others cat calling and laughing at they left.
" Oh shit my maskara's running. " Leiko cried as she continued to laugh, wiping her eyes.
Sakura held her stomach as they heard the racket outside in the hallway as Christina and Skylar fought it out.
Li and Eriol appeared in the doorway looking at the scene before them amused.
" And what has got you all so amused? " Li asked looking at them all.
Sakura tried to answer but buckled over laughing harder as Christina's blurred image flew past the door.
" Hi Li, bye Li. " Christina cried as Skylar flew past after her.
" How is is possible for girls to run that fast in high heels? " Eriol asked raising his eyebrows at Li questioningly.
" Elementry my dear Eriol. " Madison said looking over at him, composing herself somewhat.
" We are women and we are born with gift. " she stated proudly.
" R-i-g-h-t. " Eriol said making Madison glare at him. " Anyway are you ready? "
" Be right with you! " Christina cried as she ran past the door again and skidded to a hault and ducked as Skylar dived over her and tucked and rolled and landed glarring up at Christina who smirked.
" Anyone care to look at the newest line in swim wear fashion? " Christina said innocently pushing the magazine into Li's chest as she walked back into the room composing herself.
" I'll take that. " Skylar said breathing heavily as he snatched it out of Li's hands and walked back down the hallway.
" What was that about? " Li asked.
Sakura walked up to Li and ran her finger down his jaw looking at him seductively.
" Don't worry about it Li as long as I never find anything like that under your side of the bed, you'll continue to live. " she stated and looked at the others.
" Ready to go? "
" Just a sec I have to fix my maskara. " Leiko said looking away from the mirror.
Li looked at Sakura curiously. What had Skylar been looking at?
* * *
" Ready to go? " Li asked looking over his shoulder at Sakura who sat behind him on the bike.
Sakura's stomach fluttered and she took a deep breath. Her body was buzzing with adrenilin and she wanted to be gone.
" Fine. Let's book it. " she said and Li revved the bike and the others followed as they shot forward and speed down the highway towards the new club.
*************************************************************************************************
9.25pm at the club
Li rolled to a stop and Sakura let go of his waist and got off the bike and shook her hair free as she took off the helmet. She turned and saw looking at her, his eyes showing his desire, making Sakura blush.
" Everyone know there positions? " Eriol asked loud enough for them to hear, but no others.
They all nodded. Madison kissed Eriol soundly on the mouth before walking off, hips swaying sexily as she joined to others. Li looked at Sakura as she made a cute face at him and blew him a kiss as she turned around, curls dancing, and walked off towards the club, her boots making a sound as she walked to the entrance. It took all of Li's reserve to stop himself from chasing after her and telling her to go back home away from danger.
* * *
Li watched from the second floor of the club as everyone got into position. Sakura looked up and spotted Li and smiled. Realising she was starring, she shook her head and made herself look anywhere but at Li, for this so called Komoji.
" Here, put this on. " Eriol said as he handed Li one of the ear pieces that Madison had given him ages ago.
" Now Madison and Christina are going to see what they can find out information wise.
Leiko and Skylar are going to do the whole greeting with Komoji when he goes to make the call. Alex, Jamie and Sakura are watching out for anything suss. Any others are out front and keeping an eye out. "
" Good. " Li said and took a sip of his drink. " Leiko come in. Anything? "
**
Leiko turned away from the crowd and lowered her head to her shirt so Li could hear her.
" No, not yet. "
**
" Madison? " Li asked.
**
" I maybe getting a lead on something, buzz off. I'll call you. "
**
Eriol smirked when he'd heard that. ( He has in an earpiece too. ) And took a sip of his drink. Alex and the others came and sat down at the table and ordered some drinks.
" Something isn't right. " Alex said. " I can't see any other Saber Fangs. It's weird. "
That made Li a little uneasy, but they couldn't back off now.
* * *
Sakura had been dancing with some guys and was now sitting back at the bar. She wasn't looking for anything and that's why she spotted it. All near the exits, she noticed there were people dressed in drench coats and trying not to stand out. They all kept looking one way and when she followed their gaze, she spotted Komoji sitting at a table surrounded by people laughing at something someone had said. Two blondes were latching on to him and making themselves known and Sakura gagged.
Sakura looked up and caught Li looking in the other direction and couldn't get his attention. Because she hadn't been doing anything too important she hadn't been given a communication link, so she couldn't tell Li their mistake. The reason they couldn't see any Saber Fangs was because they were trying not to be seen. Why they were hiding, she didn't know. She looked up at the clock on the back wall and saw that it was 9.27pm. She didn't have long. If she didn't act now they whole opporation would be screwed.
Without thinking she grabbed a drink and made her way over to Komoji's table and all the while praying to god she didn't blow this.
**
Li was just about to take a sip of his drink when Leiko's voice came over loud and clear.
" Hey! What the -? What the fuck is Sakura doing? "
Li's gaze riveted to the floor below him.
" Where? " Li barked.
" Over near the bar and then straight ahead. " Leiko's stated.
Li's gaze pierced Sakura's back as he watch her walk up to Komoji and offering him a drink.
**
Komoji stopped laughing and looked up at Sakura and his gaze raked over her body devouring her as he went.
" Can I offer you a drink? " she asked looking at him seductively.
" You've managed to get my attention, what do you want? " Komoji demanded.
Sakura smirked and went behind him and ran her fingers gently down his jawline and lent down to his ear.
" What I want I don't think your guests would appriciate hearing and I think your whores here would die of fright of being out out of a job. " Sakura whispered, making Komoji smirk.
" Is that so? "
Sakura turned his head to face her and her emerald eyes bored into his.
" You know it to be true. " she stated and she gently placed a kiss on his cheek.
" Isn't that guarantee of what can be? " she asked sexily.
Sakura ignored the death glare that her husband and the whores on either side of her were giving her.
" Hmmm. " Komoji said looking at her. " What would I want with you? "
Sakura was desperate. Any second now his phone would ring and she would be left standing there knowing she had failed. She leant down to his ear and whispered:
" I may be a virgin, but I am certainly not innocent. " trying not to shrudder. " I am offering you a most very precious opportunity and don't you think you'd prefer someone pure and not like these worn out whores who'd rather take your money than offer any consolations for your trouble. " she lied.
Komoji's eyes widened and abruptly he stood up, pushing the two blondes away from him.
" Excuse me ladies and gentlemen, I emergency has come up and I must leave you for a few minutes. Excuse me. " Komoji said taking Sakura's hand and leading her next to him as he walked towards the stairs that lead to the roof.
**
" What the fuck is she doing?!!? " Li practically yelled jumping up, anger burning in every muscle.
" Settle down! " Eriol grabbed him and pushed him back into his chair.
" Madison what's going on? Find out. " Eriol commanded.
**
" Will do. " Madison replied and made her way through the crowd until she was standing next to a guy in Sakura's line of vision. Sakura looked up and met her gaze and Madison glarred at her and mouthed:
" What the hell are you doing? "
Just then Komoji's phone rang and Sakura froze. Komoji stopped and greeted one of his friends as he answered it.
" Look, I'm going somewhere private, I'll put you on hold. "
Sakura sighed and nearly jumped when Leiko appeared beside her with Jamie making out that they were making out.
" What the hell are you doing? " Jamie demanded in a whisper as Leiko kissed his neck.
Komoji was saying good bye to his friend and Sakura quickly said.
" The exits. Guys in trench coats. " was all she got out before Komoji was tugging her along.
" R-O-O-F. " Sakura mouthed at them, pointing up before snuggling up to Komoji.
**
" Ok Li are you there? " Madison said rushing through the crowd up towards the stair case that Sakura and Komoji were taking.
" Go ahead Madison. " came Li's angry voice.
" Theres Saber's at every exit. They're under disguise. They were waiting for one of us to make the move. Sakura couldn't get word to us in time. They weren't watching her, so she went for it. She got Komoji's attention and now they're heading up to the roof
alone. "
Li crushed the bottle he was holding and jumped up signalling that it was time to go.
* * *
Sakura let Komoji trap her against the cold wall as he kissed her neck hungrily. As much as Sakura wanted to shudder she couldn't blow it. She gulped and ran her fingers threw his hair as he moved lower.
" Easy cowboy. " Sakura stated in a whisper. " We don't need to rush. "
Komoji sparred her a glance and continued on his way.
In the shadows Eriol, Jamie and Alex fought their hardest to restrain Li who was about to yell bloody murder.
" Didn't you have someone that wanted to talk to you? " Sakura said innocnetly.
Komoji froze and swore colourfully picking up his phone and turning his back and walking away from Sakura.
" Hello? " he said and that's when Sakura struck. She rammed her gun into the back of his head and Komoji fell to the floor and as quick as lightning she picked up his phone and keeping an eye on Komoji's crumpled form, she listened as Brendon started telling her everything that they wanted to know.
" Komoji?" Brendon said.
" Thank you Brendon. You've made all my sacrifices worth it this night. " Sakura said sweetly as Li and the others jumped down and tugged Komoji's form up and bound it.
" Who is this? " Brendon demanded.
" Wouldn't you like to know. " she said sweetly looking at Li. " But the thing is, you screwed up Brendon. Someone's been a naughty boy haven't they? " she taunted.
" Where is Komoji? " Brendon demanded sounding a little panicked.
" Oh he's not available at the moment. He's taking a little nap, but you might want to get him some aspirin for when he wakes up in the morning, because no doubt he's going to have one very bad headache. " Sakura chuckled smirking and hung up.
Li yelled in anger and punched Komoji in the face as he slept, making his head snap back.
" That, you bastard, is for touching my wife. " Li spat.
Blood trickled out of Komoji's nose as Li made his way over to Sakura and held her tightly.
" Are you alright? Did he hurt you? What the hell were you thinking?!!? "
Sakura met his angry and concerned gaze and smiled faintly. For some reason she could smell Komoji's blood and it made her gag and before Li or any other could help her, Sakura raced to the side of the balcony and threw up. Retching up everything she had eaten earlier.
Li made it to her when the door was thrown open and the Saber Fang's Sakura had seen earlier burst through the door and started firing on them. Sakura who had been wiping the back of her hand across her mouth was pulled down by Li and covered as he fired round after round on the Saber's.
Sakura gagged again and dived for the side and threw up again as Li covered her and fired.
" Some one cover us! " Li shouted as he kicked one of the Saber's away from them.
" Jesus Sakura you pick the worst times! " Li yelled as he knocked out another, Madison and Christina coming to their side.
Ignoring the intense smell of blood, Sakura whipped out her gun and shot three guys that were surrounding Alex, following another two by Meilin.
More were coming and they were easyly getting out numbered. Meilin saw the metal ladder on the side of the building and called everyone's attention to it. Sakura and Li dashed over to it and Li covered Sakura as she gracefully leapt over the side of the building and slide all the way to the ground, running to their cars as the others followed.
All the way back to the mansion, Li held Sakura in the back seat as she continued to feel sick. She managed to tell them what Brendon had told her and closed her eyes fighting nausea as they drove in through the Black Wolf Mansion gates.
* * *
" I've called Wei. " Li stated as he wiped Sakura's forehead with a damp cloth.
" Oh Li. " Sakura moaned. " I'm fine. "
" Didn't look like that to us. " came Eriol's voice as he leaned in the doorway with Madison.
" I feel sorry for any people that were below you on the pavement. "
Sakura blushed red and burried her face in the pillow she had been hugging.
" You are disgusting. "
Leiko and the others were trying not to laugh at the prospect of being " creamed " by Sakura.
" Poor, poor people. " Christina taunted.
" Ok guys break it up. " Wei said as he made his way into the room.
Li kissed Sakura on her forehead.
" We'll be back as soon as we can. I promise. " he whispered.
" I love you. " Sakura mumbled as Li and the other guys walked away, leaving Madison and the other girls behind.
" Love you too. " Li replied and shrugged back into his jacket and disapeared out of sight.
Wei watched them go and turned to Sakura.
" Now my dear. Lets see what's wrong. "
* * *
12.30am
Zachery yelled happily as he slammed on the acelerator and sped down the highway cheering with the others as they watched the Saber Fang's headquarters blow sky high. They had all their money back, plus interest and had totally screwed them. Zachery turned the corner quickly and expertly and pondered whether or not their was any of them left.
The car phone rang and Zachery reached it before Alex.
" Yeah hello? "
" Hey Zach it's me Chel. " came Chelsea's excited voice. There was lot of noise coming from the background.
" What's going on? " Zachery asked.
" A party. " Chelsea. " So get your asses back here and celebrate! " and with that she hung up.
Zachery shrugged and forced the car to go faster and sped into the Wolf Mansion. Alex got out and gave Zachery a look.
" Renmind me man to never race you. You can drive. " he said making Zachery laugh.
" Come on. Chel will kill me if we don't get in there. "
Li frowned when they opened the door and heard female voices yelling loudly and happily. They walked into the foyer and followed the voices till they came to the living room. All the girls were drinking and laughing.
" What's going on? " Li said loooking around.
To Be Continued . . .
