So I haven't written a CCS story since 2008…which would mean I've been away from the fandom for a good 3 years… I suddenly had the urge to write a story that's been floating around for quite a while. I am still a student, and therefore studies will be my primary concern, so please forgive and excuse my erratic updates :).
This is a rated story, a co-work between another author and me. We share the ideas, but I will be writing.
"He's headed south-east corner"
"Got it,"
"He's going fast, don't lose visual"
"I know,"
"The others are headed that way now"
"I got this," Dark amber eyes narrowed on the figure a few feet ahead of him. The crowd of people passed him carelessly, not knowing nor caring about what was going on around them. The hidden headset in his ears buzzed in his ears as he heard the static of silence. Every now and then orders floated from the earphones into his eardrums, and he grunted in acknowledgement and out of annoyance.
"Damn it I can do my job," he thought to himself. As they rounded the corner, his eyes flicked to the other side of the street. Several black cars were pulling up simultaneously, its passengers getting out at once. He cursed under his breath,
"Tell your team to back down," he hissed into his miniature microphone. He tensed when he saw his target look back, and then look at the group of people who were discretely (or not so discretely if you asked him) crossing the streets towards him,
"Tell them to back the hell down!" he hissed again. Too late. The target suddenly broke out into a sprint.
"Shit!" he cursed.
"Li wait for back up—" Li Syaoran yanked the headset from his ears, making it dangle against his collar cutting off whatever order his superiors wanted him to follow. Adrenaline surged through his veins as though he had control over when it did, and broke into a sprint on his own,
"FBI stop!" he shouted. The crowd around him suddenly became aware of their surroundings at his outburst, and the target in front of him glanced back, seeing the tall, amber eyed agent gaining speed.
"Damn it why do they always run," he grunted to himself as he tore through the streets. "Get out of the way!" he shouted. The crowd in front of him dispersed as he tore through the streets. The target suddenly made a sharp turn, taking him through the middle of the road. Cars honked and tires screeched as drivers made the unexpected stop. Syaoran leaped over the railing on the sideways and dodged sideways from cars.
The target ran into a street filled with street stands…and crowds of people.
"Back up, I need back up East of the high way; side street district!" Syaoran shouted into his microphone, "Out of the way FBI!" he shoved people out left and right. People shouted and dispersed as he rammed his way through them. Ahead from them was a rail that fenced off the street stores from the high way that roared below. Syaoran's eyes narrowed, if the target made it past the rail, he'd lose him.
Syaoran grunted and put his last energy into sprinting faster. As he gained closed to the target, a lone pedestrian remained along the side of the street stores as opposed to the rest of the crowd who had ran out during the chase.
"Out of the way!" he shouted. The person, who turned out to be a woman looked up. He caught a glimpse of a pair of shocking emerald eyes, which he lost as soon as she looked down. Narrowing his eyes on his target, something dropped out of the woman's hand in front of the target. Too busy trying to escape Syaoran, the target failed to realize something in his way,
"Argh!" the man shouted as he stumbled and crashed hard onto the cement street. Syaoran slowed down, quickly dropping down to put his weight onto the man's back. He immediately pulled both arms to his back. Syaoran did a quick pat down, pulling out a small revolver from his back pocket; he quickly threw it to the side,
"You are going to get the bill to my dry cleaning," Syaoran grumbled as he pulled the offender up. The back-up he had requested finally showed up, and he shoved the cuffed offender towards them, "Take him,"
"Li you know that was ridiculously reckless to go off like that," his boss came up to him. Syaoran rolled his eyes, "And why were you off the mic?"
"Because I was chasing a criminal that we would have lost if I hadn't," he shot back, raising an eyebrow,
"You know if it was any other person you'd get a write up for this," his superior said, Syaoran smirked,
"Then why don't you just write one up, and then put it up on the wall along with all the other ones you said you wrote but never submitted Eriol." Eriol Hirigazawa rolled his eyes at his best agent and close friend,
"Get out of here, I don't want to see your ass until tomorrow at the meeting," Eriol snapped,
"Likewise," Syaoran smirked. As he turned to leave, he noticed on the ground that a purse laid discarded on the ground after the offender had tripped on it. He picked it up, and looked around seeing the same woman standing off to the side.
"Miss?" Syaoran gestured to her, she looked at him, and he was struck by the same emerald eyes again, "is this yours?"
"Yes, arigato," she said quickly. She plucked it from his hands,
"Did you not hear me shout to get out of the way?" Syaoran asked. The woman raised an eyebrow at him,
"I did,"
"So why didn't you?"
"Excuse me?"
"No offence ma'am, but it was pretty dangerous for you to stay where you were when a criminal was being chased down the road like that,"
"Oh sorry, I was just a bit shocked when I saw you that I dropped my bag," she apologized quickly, "I'll be out of your way now" and with that she grabbed her bag, and pulled it to her shoulder, keeping a tight grip on it. She walked away from him as Syaoran observed her,
"She seems pretty calm for being shocked," Syaoran thought to himself.
"Sakura where are you?"
"I'm coming I just got distracted," Kinomoto Sakura said as she walked up to the car parked on the side,
"That's what you said half an hour ago when I called you baka!" her older brother's voice said from her phone. Sakura frowned, biting back a snappy response,
"Hey! I'm going to tell dad!"
"How old are you, tattle telling to dad? Geez, how the hell are you working for the government?"
"Hey! Just tell dad I'll be there soon!" Sakura shouted she quickly hung up before her brother could say anything. Rolling her eyes she quickly got into her car and ignited the engine. As she turned around to enter the road she drove by the street that was now roped off by yellow caution tape, surrounded by flashing sirens. She eyes lingered for a while.
The agent she had ran into…he was interesting. Granted when she was at the street she never thought she'd get involved in a chase. Smiling softly to herself, she quickly drove off to her father's place. Knowing him, he'd have another speech ready to warn her about the dangers of her work.
Syaoran walked into work the next day in a casual t-shirt over a dark leather jacket and dark jeans. The elevator dinged at his arrival, and the receptionist at the front of the office looked up.
"Good morning Li-san," the young girl said enthusiastically. Syaoran smirked and winked sending the younger girl into a deep blush. He chuckled to himself as he walked into the bureau, where agents and workers were already fluttering around.
"Is he here yet?" came a shout. Syaoran looked up, and saw Eriol storming his way down the stairs from his office, "Where the hell were you?"
"At what time?" Syaoran asked casually,
"The past fifteen minutes when you should have been here," Eriol said,
"Well for the last minute I'm here, the minute before I was in the elevator, the minute before that I was walking through the lobby, should I go on?" Syaoran said. Eriol rolled his eyes,
"Come on, everyone's in the conference room," Eriol walked off, making Syaoran follow him, "And the least you could do was dress up a little,"
"Just because we have a transfer here I have to get dressed up?" Syaoran asked, "Wow, who is this, better be the president's daughter or something,"
"No she's a new addition to our team,"
"Then she's got to take me as I am, jacket, looks and all," he smirked,
"And your ego," Eriol rolled his eyes, "I'm praying she'll need high tolerance to work with you,"
"Whoa wait, what are you talking about? She's working with all of us," Syaoran said. This time it was Eriol's turn to smirk,
"She's your new partner,"
"WHAT THE HELL?" Syaoran exploded. Half the office turned silent. He lowered his voice, "What the hell are you talking about Hirigazawa? A new partner? A female partner? What part of I work solo don't you understand?"
"Yes a new female partner, quite frankly you could use some taming," Eriol smirked, "Hey don't look at me, it was a decision made up top man and maybe you should meet her before you say anything. She's transferring from the government division, which means she's got skills, plus she's a psychology genius,"
"I don't care if she's transferring from the fucking CIA or if she's Men in Black," Syaoran said, "I don't need a partner, they only slow you down."
"I'm not really a big fan of the Men in Black series actually…and I'm pretty sure I can catch up," said an additional voice…an additional female voice. Both males turned around and Syaoran stopped. He was looking into a familiar pair of emerald green eyes. He blinked,
"It's nice to see you again too, I guess this time you're the one who's more shocked than I am," she voice chuckled.
Syaoran didn't reply. He's dark amber eyes trailed from her eyes, to the small but gentle slope of her nose, and plump pink lips accented by light shade of lipsticks. She stood at a petite height of 5'6, dressed in a smart looking blazer on top of a pale pink tank top. Only the middle two buttons of the blazers were buttoned, accenting her petite waist, her bottom half covered by a black pencil skirt and black pumps. Her auburn hair was tied up in a quick knot, strays of auburn wisps escaping the clasp. Syaoran thought it looked like she had just gotten out of bed, but in a sexy 'I put no effort into looking this good' kind of way.
Sakura wouldn't have worked for the government if she didn't notice the way the man before her observed her, and gazed up and down her body. To be honest, her heart was pounding the moment she had stepped into the office. It was one thing to have worked for the government, another to be in a completely new surrounding with people who already had preconceptions of her. Now, a man whom (she must admit) was extremely good looking was standing in front of her. The first thing she noticed were his eyes. They were an extreme brown, a fiery burning brown. He had strong cheek bones and bone structure. He wore a simple white shirt with a black leather jacket, but his white shirt was tight enough to show is trim physique and hint at his obvious abs, but not enough to make it look like he was showing it off blatantly. She smirked, "Subtle hints at what he has but making people guess…he's definitely a flirt."
"Enjoying your view?" he smirked. Sakura smirked back, his comment proved her thought correct.
"Enjoying yours?" she shot back just as quickly. Eriol smirked, the duo were both strong headed. This would be interesting.
"Li Syaoran," Syaoran introduced himself,
"Kinomoto Sakura,"
She raised her hand, and he took it in a tight grip.
Slightly short, but it's only the beginning. Again I do have school so I will try to write as much as I can. Until then reviews are appreciated. :)
