Chap1: The Black Wolves
"Knock. Knock. Knock" Sakura looked at the door.
"Y..yes?"
"It's me. Tomoyo. Can I get in?" A very beautiful girl with a pair of deep, worry purple eyes answered. "What's wrong with you? You didn't come to my house this morning."
"To…Tomoyo? Wait a sec".
"Clack". The door opened. In front of Tomoyo is a crying Sakura.
"I can't believe it. What happened to you?" She started to shake Sakura's shoulders.
"C...come in. I'll explain everything." Both of them got in the room and shut the door.
"Now tell me what happened to you." Tomoyo ordered.
"My...my dad…Just because of his business, he's engaged me to the son of his boss, the Kang president…"Sakura sobbed.
Flash back
"You called me,dad?" She walked in, a little nervous. She has never seen that face of her dad. A cold and greedy face.
"Sit down Sakura. I have something to tell you." Her dad looked at her and pointed at the armchair opposite to him.
"Listen Sakura. I know you won't like it but you can not refuse. You must do it." Fujitaka stared at her and continuous "I've promise with my boss that you and his son will have an engagement. The engagement will start for about 3 months later. Both Mr. Kang and his son like you. You must feel very honor about this because it's not that you can be Luke's fiancée everyday. And even more, by that way I can be the president and I can replace the boss if something happen to him. You want me to have power and the fame too, right my little daughter?"
Sakura shocked. She can't believe that her dad would does something like that just to have a promotion even she's known that he is a kind of greedy person but not like this. This's not her father. Why did he do this to her? She asked again with shocked:
"You are going to sold me just to get a promotion?"
"Sakura. It's not like you are going to be sold. You're going to marry one of the richest people in the world's son. And it's not just a promotion. It means I can be one of the top of Japan. Do you understand how much is it important to me?" He glanced at her.
"Now stop crying and prepare. Tomorrow you'll meet Luke. And one more thing. Don't try to run away or deny. It's been decided. Now you can go." Fujitaka turn his back to Sakura after said that to her.
The reality
"So you mean that…you'll get marry with the president Kang's son?" Tomoyo almost shouted loudly.
"Yeah…What should I do?" Sakura cried.
"Did...did you meet him?"
"Yes, I did. He's the worst person I have ever known. He's just like a gangster. Cold-hearted, greedy, jealousy and hot-temper."
"I guess I can't help but if you think shopping can make your sadness go away then let's go."
"I hope so" She put a fake smile on her face.

"This's the last one, misses" The shopkeeper smiled at 2 girls.
"Thank you." Tomoyo payed for the bills and turned to Sakura
"You want anything else?"
"No. That's enough. Thanks Tomoyo. Oh my…This's too late. Maybe I should go home." Sakura shouted when she looked at the watch.
"I'll take you home. "Tomoyo suggested
"No need. I can take care of myself. I don't want to depend on others." Sakura smiled sadly. And before Tomoyo can say something, she ran away.

The Crystal Alley…
The sun has been covered by clouds. It's raining. Very hard…But the weather still couldn't stop them from fighting…and from starting a new love…
***
"Fuck. Can't you go any faster?" A handsome guy with a pair of cold amber eyes and brown hair is shouting.
"Calm down Syaoran. You can't even go faster in this fucking weather unless you wanna die." A midnight hair and eyes smiled to Syaoran. "And I still can't find my woman yet. So I can't die so soon, ok?"
"Shit!!!If we're late Wolf gonna kill us Eriol."
"Hey...hey. You're not even scare of Wolf. So why do you have to act like that anyway?" Eriol was laughing.
"Shut your fucking mouth up and speed up." He snarled.
"K. If that's what you want."
Eriol sped up, used tricks with sharp turns. After all, they did arrive.
The car stopped immediately and both of them stepped to the ground.
"Syaoran! Eriol! You're here!" A girl with ruby eyes called them.
"Meiling?"
"You'd better be ready. Wolf is going to shoot three times in then air." When she just stopped talking, they suddenly heard the gun shoot three times.
"Damn. It's begun. They can't win without me, can they? Let's get to work." Syaoran smirked.
"As you wish." Eriol pulled out his guns, showed it to the air and run forward the war.
"What the fuck did you do? Why are you guys so late?" A man with green eyes and black hair asked with anger.
"Don't ask me. Ask that fucking bastard, Wolf." Syaoran coldly shot one of the opponent's men in the head.
"Hey! Let's talk later. Look at that. I'll take care everything and you go take care of that little trouble. Ok?" A guy called him.
"Huh?" Syaoran confused and turned to the way the guy pointed. There's a very beautiful girl with brown hair and emerald eyes looking at them with fear.
"Shit. Why does that girl has to be in here right now?" He thought then ran toward the girl and dodged away from the gun shot.
***
"If I'm not going to be at home in time then I'll be in big trouble." Sakura thought to herself. Suddenly she heard the gun shot three times. She wondered what happened then without thinking she ran toward where she thought the gun shots were.
After that she found herself right in front of a gang war. A war with guns, punches, kicks and even swords. She was scared to death. She didn't know how could her be so stupid like that. Jumping into a war without thinking? "What did I get myself into?" She gasped, took a step back when she saw a gun was pointing at her. Her blood ran cold. She was so scared that she couldn't move herself. Suddenly she saw a guy was running toward her. He shot the one whom pointed a gun at her at the chest and grabbed her wrist.
"Stupid girl." He whispered then she felt her body became lighter and then the last thing she can remember is a warm, strong arm took her……
***
Sakura woke up, a little dizzy.
"Where am I. What happened?" She thought to herself. She looked around and found herself in a big room, covered with purple and white.
"Where's this place?" Then she remembered what happened with her this afternoon.
"Oh my god…Now is 8p.m. I'm really in a big trouble." She thought then ran to the stair hoping no one would see her. But when she's just stepped to the staircase she heard somebody's talking downstairs.
"What are we gonna do with that girl? She saw everything." A guy with blue hair seems confused.
"Easy, Dean. Why don't we just kill her? No more trouble!" Another guy suggested.
"Calm down Syaoran. That's really not good. She's just happened to crossed that road, we can't blame her."
"And…"That guy turned to the staircase. "How long are you going to stand there, Miss?"
Sakura blushed when everybody turned out to look at her.
"Ah...I…just…"
"Come down here and we'll talk about this."
"Are you guys going to kill me?" She asked, worried.
"If you know who are you and shut up then you're ok." The one who called Syaoran glanced at her. When she met his eyes, her body almost frozen of the coldness and dangerous inside. That eyes also make her remembered that their owner is the one brought her here.
"Sat down. We won't do anything to you if you promise not to tell this to anybody." A beautiful girl with ruby eyes smiled at her and pointed to the armchair next to her.
"My name's Meiling. Ly Meiling. Yours?"
"I'm Sakura. Kinomoto Sakura."
"Can I call you Sakura?"
"Uhm…Ye...yes." she looked down to her feet.
"Listen Sakura. We're a very famous Gangster, called Black Wolves. Today when we were having a gang war, you came. So that you've known everything about us even our HQ and we can't let you go. The only chance is…we'll have to initiate you as a member. When you came across the road. They already saw you! If you agree to initiate, you can be protected by us but if you tell anybody about this, you and your family, your friends are in danger." Meiling explained everything but not very clearly by a dangerous tone which made Sakura felt scared.
"What? Are you kidding? I can't. I have my own life. You can't interfere or decide it for me." She shouted to Meiling.
"Listen. You are NOT the one who can decide. It's US. Or I can explain clearer that you only have two choices. One is initiate and the other is death." Wolf glance at her.
"But…" She still can't decide. She can't do it. It's just too hard for her to decide. She doesn't want to die but she doesn't want to join a gang either.
Suddenly Syaoran stood up:" That's enough. Kinomoto, follow me." He glanced at her.
"But…"
"But what? Are you going to say you don't want?"
"No…I just…"
"Fine. Then let's go." He turned around. "I'll use your study room, Wolf."
"Anytime you want, Syaoran."
***
Syaoran leaded Sakura to the third floor. They stopped right in front a silver door.
"Clack." Syaoran turn the door knock and ordered:
"Come in."
"Huh?...But…Why? I need to go home as soon as I can or I'll…" Sakura confused.
"I said shut up and get in. I don't think you can decide what are you going to do in here, ok? There're some bread and milk in the refrigerator. You can use it. We will keep you here until our final decision." He turned around and locked the door.
Sakura looked at the door with sadness then she smirked and thought to herself:"Haha…At least I don't have to turn back to that house and wait for the engagement to come."
She let her body freely felt to the couch and turned on the TV. She quickly turned to MTV and slowly tapped her feet to the floor with joy. That was the only thing at that moment can make her feels comfortable. She looked at the clock then looked out of the window. It was 10.45 p.m and outside was so dark. There wasn't any star. That made her uncomfortable to sit in a dark room. There wasn't anything on the TV. She turned it off and sat on the couch, in silence…
***
"Syaoran! You're still awake?" Meiling went to the garden and asked Syaoran with worry in her eyes.
"Meiling? Why don't you go and get some rest?" He turned back, surprised.
"What about you? If you don't want to you don't have to but it's very cold in here so you must wear a coat or something on you." Meiling put off her coat and put it on him.
"Thank you, Meiling." He said, not turning his head to face her.
"Your welcome." He has never open to her. She sighed and came inside, turned back to look at him.
"Syaoran, when are you going to open your mind to someone?" She sighed, thought to herself.
***
Sakura woke up when she heard someone opened the door. Because it was so dark that she couldn't know who it was but through the cinnamon smell, she could tell that "him".
"Syaoran? What are you…?"
But he has put a finger to her lips to give a signal for silence.
"Keep your fucking mouth shut. Everyone's going to wake up just because of you." He rudely said, turned to shut the door.
"But what are you doing here?" She asked, lowered her voice.
Syaoran didn't answer, he just simply sat on the other side of the couch.
"You can't sleep, can you?" She looked in his amber eyes.
Syaoran didn't answered but coldly asked
"Are you going to initiate?"
"I don't know…I don't want to initiate because I have my own life, too. But…I also care about my family. So…if I join...do you promise to protect my family and my friends? I meant…I don't want the ones I love to be drag in this dangerous situation just because of me. I want them to be safe, that's all."
He looked at her, coldly then nodded.
"Then…I'll." She sighed, turned her head to the window.
They sat in silence for half an hour then Syaoran stood up and left. This time, he let the door opened.
