The Prized Jewel
Author's Notes: I'm always having new ideas for a story. I'm not sure why considering I hardly ever finish one. But I just have to write these stories or else I'll forget them. It takes me a while to come up with new ideas once I start writing a story though, so you must be patient with me. Also IMPORTANT: THIS IS TAKEN IN A MODERN DAY SETTING!

.:Beginning:.
The story of Sakura Kinomoto and how she rose to her status of "Jewel", is a complicated one. Daughter of Emperor Fujitaka and Empress Nadeshiko, she was princess of the land of Japan. However, different from all the other princesses of the world, she was taught more than how to be a lady. She learned heavy martial arts.
But the most surprising factor was the fact that her very being was the most prized possession to the most powerful gang in all of Japan, The Clows. You see, the Emperor and the Empress did not have only one child, Sakura, as the world had believed. They had a son, Touya Kinomoto. Disowned at the age of thirteen, he became involved with the gangster lifestyle. Sakura and Touya were six years apart.
When Sakura was thirteen and Touya Kinomoto nineteen, they had met. They became very close.
Sakura was the most prized possession of Japan. She was beautiful, intelligent, cunning, and loved by all her people. She was also the most prized possession of the gangster world. She had connections to high places, she knew how to cunningly deceive the government in which her parents ruled, she was a skilled martial artist, and she could do anything and everything she wanted. She had the power, she had the looks, the intelligence; overall she was a large bombshell. But she lived a double life.
Her personality was always the same, however it seemed that she was living two lives. A ninja working for the mob and a princess who helped her people. Everyone knew of her work, even the Emperor.
The Clows were a gang, but they were popular with the people. They helped people. They did illegal business but they had morals. It's a complicated web.
As Sakura turned sixteen, she was given a new status. The world of Japan, gangster world and the government, titled her "The Jewel". With that title, she was given four security guards, the best of the gangster world could offer.
She was the most prized possession.
.:Next: Time period: 4 months after Sakura's 16th Birthday:.
Beads of sweat flowed down smooth, porcelain skin. It traveled down a luxurious body as she moved with grace and skill. Putting her hands up, she caught his fist. She turned in a flash and kicked a leg high to his shoulder. It made an impact and he fell on the side.
"I win!" Sakura said with a smile. She was a petite girl of sixteen. Short auburn hair with strands that was shoulder length, a unique hairstyle. Emerald green eyes that gleamed brightly beneath short bangs, and a face of an angel. Her body, was completely opposite of her face however. It was sinful and curvy. A slender body with toned arms, legs, and stomach. At that moment she was wearing silk shorts with a shirt that hugged her form tightly.
Her bodyguard, Yue, rose up on his feet. Sakura had four bodyguards. Yue, the oldest, who had long silver hair with matching silver eyes. Takashi, the funniest in Sakura's opinion, was tall and reminded her of her brother. Eriol, the smartest, had midnight blue hair and eyes that were framed with glasses. Last was Kero (AN: I'm making him into a human; use your imagination).
Later after her daily morning practice of running four miles, flexibility for two hours, and last a good two hours of marital arts. She arose at six in the morning and by another six hours, it was noon. Coming out from her long luxurious bath, she wore a pair of light blue jeans and a black and red tube top. She wore sandals and with her hair brushed and dried, she headed out to the garden where her bodyguards awaited her.
Her bodyguards were like her friends and another set of brothers. They ate with her and talked with her. When they went out of the palace, they spoke and acted like they were a normal pair of friends. Everyday after training, they would sit in the garden; if the weather permits, and eat a late breakfast together.
Yue, Takashi, Eriol, and Kero were already seated at the patio table when she arrived. They had been fully refreshed and dressed all four of them were dressed in black slacks and different colored shirts. On the table were plates stacked with eggs, toast, fresh fruit, and pancakes.
Sitting down, Sakura enjoyed another casual breakfast. "By the way, let's go out to town today. I want to walk around." Sakura suddenly said.
After enjoying breakfast, they all strolled out of the palace and headed south.
.:Syaoran:.
Syaoran Li was the only son of Yelen Li. The Li family was in alliance with The Clows. The Li family was a powerful family in China as they ran business and had major influences in the government. They were bonded with The Clows for several years, although their alliance was unknown.
Syaoran Li and his four sisters had moved from their family's estate of China to experiment in Japan. His four sisters each married and lived in an estate in Japan the Li family owned. Syaoran Li, however, took an active role in his family's secret gangster lifestyle.
He became second to Touya Kinomoto, although their differences were often in a brawl. He was four years junior to Touya Kinomoto. He was smart and cunning, and could charm just about anybody to what he wants. He was also a strong fighter in both Japan and China, having won the marital arts championship six years straight.
He was also very involved with women. At age eighteen, he has become the envy of all the men. He slept with any woman he wanted and always constantly had one with him. He wasn't looking for love, just self stratification.
When he awoke, naked and next to a woman whose name he couldn't remember, someone had knocked on his door and told him that Touya needed to see him. He awoke the woman and told her she had to leave. He whispered sweet lies to her, speaking of empty promises that he would call her, she had left.
Syaoran dressed in black slacks and a buttoned up green dress shirt. Slipping into some black shoes, he made his way to see the mob boss.
In the large room, Touya Kinomoto sat in a long wooden table. His back was facing Syaoran when he entered the room, as he was looking outside the large windows to the city.
"You wanted to see me, Touya." Syaoran stated. Touya turned around. At a man of twenty-two, he was six feet tall with dark brown hair and eyes. He was built and very toned. A long scar, however, ran down his entire right arm; his only flaw in his perfect body.
Touya clicked a button on a remote and on the far right wall, a large picture of a girl was shown.
"She's pretty cute." Syaoran said as he looked at the auburn haired girl with green eyes shown in the picture.
Everyone in the gangster world knew who she was, the Jewel. That was the only name they knew her as. However no one knew in which exact gang that she was the Jewel of.
In fact, she was the Jewel to The Clows. She held all their secrets and was one of their most best fighters. And only two people knew that, Sakura Kinomoto and Touya Kinomoto.
"Is she the Jewel?" Syaoran asked, curious to why his boss was showing a picture of her.
"Yes. I want you to get close to her. Be her friend or something." Touya answered.
"So you want me to sleep with her?"
"No." Touya growled. "She will not be another one of your whores."
"So why do you want me to get close to her?" Syaoran asked.
"Just do it." He replied curtly.
Syaoran bowed and nodded. He slipped out of the room after the conversation ended. In truth Touya wanted extra protection for Sakura. However if he told anyone that, they would suspect that she was the Jewel to his gang.
He had an uneasy feeling that something horrible was going to happen.
