-Actions Come With Consequences-
Japan Supreme Court
September 29
3:34 P.M.
A stern and mid-aged judge looks over his spectacles on the final decision made by the jury. "-and the jury has found the defendant guilty of the murder of Ms. Ayami Mia. He is to be sentenced full life in prison." The judge finishes and stands up preparing to leave the court room.
Immediately a barrage of flashes goes off and news anchors mixed with the large crowd in the courtroom breaks into loud chatter.
A beautiful young lady with silky mid length auburn hair and captivating jade green eyes lights up with joy and relief as she turns to her client who gives her a hearty handshake.
"Thank you so much Miss. Kinomoto, I don't what I would have done without you, you really got justice for my wife." A man in his late forty's with jet black hair smiles genuinely.
"Just doing what's right." She replies back with a smile. As the two starts to head out of the room, the defendant passes by with two guards by his side.
"Don't think it's over Kinomoto, my boss WILL come after you." The man whispers venomously in her ear. Sakura swallows the tight lump that formed in her throat but keeps a callous expression.
"He looks pretty furious, but now I can finally rest in peace knowing that mans been put away." Sakura's client comments not hearing what the accuser whispered to Sakura. Sakura nods half-heartily while the accuser's threat plays over and over in her mind.
6:49 P.M.
Sakura unlocks her apartment door and steps into the dark room, quickly flipping on the light switch and heads towards her bedroom, while pressing the blinking red of the answering machine on her way. A melodic feminine voice comes on.
"Sakura you were great! I saw the whole thing on live television, your streak of never losing a case is still holding up! Sorry I wasn't able to be there in person, mother needed me this time on her business trip to Hong Kong, but don't worry next time I promise I'll make it!! Oh, before I go, to compensate for not being at your big case I took the liberty of buying you new clothes! They're pretty stylish over here I know you'll love them! I'll call you later girl, take care!
A picture of a beautiful violet long haired young woman with amethyst eyes and beautiful features pops in her mind. Sakura could just imagine her long time best friend as well as cousin buying her a whole store worth of clothing, shaking her head and grinning she heads to her kitchen to prepare dinner. Just finishing chopping up the vegetables her phone rings, quickly whipping her hands on a piece of cloth she picks up a pink stylish cordless phone.
"Moshi, moshi?"
"Won another one; my cherry blossom." A smooth male voice replies.
Sakura questioning expression quickly turns to a smile, recognizing the person on the line. "I'm ahead of you now." She remarks in a somewhat childish manner.
"Not for long, the case I'm working on is just about to pull through." The voice on the other line teases.
"You just always have to steal my thunder, huh!" She replies with mock anger.
The man chuckles but his tone quickly becomes sober. "Sakura, you upset some pretty powerful and ruthless men by winning this case, I want you to be extra careful these couple of days, and I'll try to get back in Tokyo in two days, three days the latest."
"Syaoran, I am twenty-five I think I know how to take care of myself." Sakura replies in a somewhat exasperated tone.
"Just promise me you'll take extra care before I come back, or I'll just keep nagging." He warns.
"Alright, alright I promise, you're starting to sound like Touya."
"I wonder what he'd say about that." He chuckles. "-well I have a final meeting with my client in twenty so I'll call you tomorrow around the same time, love you."
"Me too, you take care." A cheerful smile still adorned on her face as she places the phone back down. An image of a tall and well built young man with unruly chocolate brown hair and amber eyes flashes through her mind, the only man she had ever truly loved. They have been going out for almost three years starting in law school where they met; he was two years older than her but since Sakura skipped two grades they ended up in the same classes. They both are now world renowned lawyers and adding to their already hefty fame, Syaoran happened to be the heir of the infamous Li Clan.
Sakura finishes eating her light dinner and decides to head to the living room and watch a bit of news, immediately images of her case comes on, deciding there was nothing else special to watch she switches off the television, and heads to bed early. Remembering her father and brother are to visit her tomorrow.

September 30
7:56 A.M.
A pair of eyes slowly opens revealing stunning emerald orbs, as they slowly blink away the slumber. The auburn haired young woman slowly stretches and groggily leaves her warm bed. After her daily morning routine including washing her face, brushing her teeth, and brushing her hair, she heads towards the kitchen. While eating cereal and listening to the news talking about the terrible forecast her phone rings, and she slowly walks towards the receiver and picks up the cordless phone.
"Moshi, moshi." She says sleepily.
"Still not a morning person are you, kaijuu." A male voice comments on the other end.
"Ugh, you're still using that stupid nickname." Sakura complains tiredly.
"Yes, too bad I'm not there for you to stomp on."
"Just tell me what you want, Touya."
"Alright before you go into one of your kaijuu tantrums, dad just wants me to tell you to meet us at the Cross Blues restaurant at noon, don't be late."
Sakura was just about to retaliate back when she hears Touya hang up, huffing she slams back the phone on the receiver.
"I'll show you oni-chan, I'll be there extra early!" Fully awake she decides to change and go to the gym.
After working out for an hour and a half she decides to head back home for a refreshing shower and make it to the restaurant superfluously early.
Cross Blues Restaurant
12:25 P.M.
:: Great, now who's the one late:: Sakura comments to herself as she impatiently runs her fingers on the crystal blue table. Shortly after a waiter approaches her table and asks if she's ready to take her order, deciding that she did wait over half an over for her brother and dad and feeling like her stomach was about to eat itself she orders a dish of seafood linguini.
:: Well it is Touya's fault for not being on time; they wouldn't mind if I started first."
After a few moments her food is served and the tempting aroma claims her mind, and she quickly digs in. Almost done with the plate she checks her fancy watch which reads: 1:03.
:: Maybe Touya did this just to get back at me for being late last time..argg just wait till I get my hands on him:: She decides to wait an extra ten minutes for them to show up, as she looks at the glass pane heavily being pattered by large drops of rain. Ten minutes passes by and deciding it was another one of Touya's pranks she quickly pays the bill and heads home.
Hastily unlocking the bolt of her apartment door Sakura angrily strides into the room while failing to notice a white envelope addressed with her name on it by the door on the floor. Almost immediately her phone starts ringing; certain who is calling she fumingly answers the phone.
"TOUYA, I actually went twenty minutes early just to prov-"
"Miss. Kinomoto, this isn't Touya." A cold male's voice interrupts her.
"Oh, I'm sorry. May I ask who this is?" Sakura's cheeks immediately blush pink in embarrassment.
"I'm Detective Joe from the Tokyo Police; I have some rather bad news for you." The man replies in a monotone.
"Wh-what kind of bad news?" Sakura asks steadily.
"There was a car accident; we identified the two passengers to be your father and brother."
Sakura suddenly goes cold, nearly losing the grip on the phone.
"N-no that can't be possible, I was supposed to meet them at the restaurant, I'm sure you have the wrong people." Sakura tries to reassure, more to herself, than the detective.
"There's no mistake ma'am, the roads were very slippery, and the car slid and fell off-" Before the man is able to finish Sakura quickly slams the phone down.
:: No, no, it's not true it can't be. Touya was just fine earlier; it must be another one of his jokes:: Sakura nods confidently, and suddenly something white catches her attention. She slowly approaches the stark white envelope lying by the door.
::That must be the letter from Touya telling me it was all a prank.::
However part of her mind isn't convinced with her thought, with shaking hands she slowly pulls out a picture with a small piece of paper attached to it. Her eyes immediately widen in terror and her scream is caught in her throat. There on the picture shows a close up on two bloody deranged bodies in a crashed vehicle, the phone suddenly comes to life startling her from the dead silence. Barley aware of her movements and the continuous ringing she didn't realize she had picked up the phone till she heard a deep and silky voice.
"You shouldn't have gone against me; this all could have been avoided." The voice taunts.
"You di-did this." Sakura states barley above a whisper.
"You know as well as I do that you were the cause of all this." The person chuckles maliciously.
"You bastard, how could you do this!" Silent streams of tears slides down her cheeks as she emotionally grits her teeth. Not realizing she is shaking uncontrollably filled with despair, and immense grief.
"Come now, I can't take all the credit you were after all my muse." He taunts but his tone suddenly turns sober.
"Meet me at the address on the paper in half an hour, don't be late."
He said the last three words in such a mocking way that it almost felt like he knew those were the same last three words Touya had said to her. Sakura quickly picks herself up and heads towards her room, quickly getting on her knees and opens the lowest drawl of her nightstand. With shaking hands she quickly takes out a black velvet box and opens it, revealing a sleek silver handgun. Never even in her nightmares had she ever imagined she would take out the deadly silver weapon, non-the less be using it. Tucking it in her jean pocket she quickly sprints out of the room and grabs her car key and the piece of address paper lying on the kitchen counter on her way out of the door.
Tokyo Sea Dock
1:26 P.M.
A pink sports car rapidly pulls up to an old gray abandoned warehouse, as the wind howls with violence making the rain act like pounding torrents of waves. A tall auburn haired young woman quickly gets out of the car seemingly not noticing the violent weather around her, as she's quickly soaked to the bone while quickly heading to warehouse number 18.
The dark old warehouse still stowed large cargo boxes that cast shadows and which seemly over a long time accumulated many layers of dust. The place cast an eerie affect and the weather wasn't helping. Feeling quite alone Sakura decides to make her presence known.
"You called me here, so show yourself!" Her yell echoing throughout the large warehouse.
"I see you're early, but not too patient are we?" The mocking voice resounding from all directions.
"What is it that you want from me?!"
"You have become somewhat of a nuisance to me; I needed to make that clear to you." The person replies in a way an adult would talk to a young four year old.
Sakura spins around unable to pinpoint where the voice was coming from, decides to asks more questions.
"Why did you call me here, to kill me?!" Sakura questions in sarcasm.
"Believe me, if I wanted you dead you would already be reunited with your deceased family." The person stats obviously enjoying seeing Sakura's angered expression.
"Then tell me what I'm doing here." Sakura stats in a low but deathly tone
"It was not wise to make me your enemy, as you can see, anyone that goes against me will put their beloved ones in danger, and I'm sure you have a few that are up still for grabs." The person warned tauntingly.
"Don't beat around the bush, you still haven't answered my question." Sakura states softly trying to suppress her anger and fears.
"Very well; I'll answer your persistent question. Personally I find you to be very good at what you do and it would be in your best interest to work for me, we wouldn't want to repeat history now do we?"
Sakura's throat goes dry and she swallows the lump that she didn't even realize she had, as cold beads of sweat fall on the sides of her pale face.
"Alright, I agree." She says softly.
"I knew you would see it my way-"
Suddenly Sakura feels a sharp sting on the side of her neck and before she's even able to turn around and look at the perpetrator the world around her starts to fade into darkness.
"-and that's just for my reassurance." The person smirks as he watches the beautiful young women collapse onto the cold cement floor while his man, the one that inserted the sedative, carries her unconscious form out of the building and into the black limo where he sat the whole time watching from his state of the art television using a microphone.
How was the first chapter?? Plz review or comment, it will get a lot more interesting since the mysterious person has a lot of things in store for Sakura. Hope you guys liked it!!
