*************************************************************************************************
Chapter one : The Birth of the Jade Fox
" Sakura! Move it or lose it squirt! You've got less than five minutes! " Tori yelled.
Sakura's emerald eyes flew open as what her brother had yelled, sank in into her sleepy mind. She bolted up and tripped over her sheets and landed face first on her floor. Grumbling, she hauled herself up and bolted into her bathroom and in record breaking time, emerged dressed in her uniform and brushing her hair.
Sakura was tall for her seventeen years. She had the perfect figure, that every girl would have died for. Every curve in its right place, adding to her beauty. Her honey-brown hair was a little longer than when she had been in elementary, just brushing past her shoulders. Her emerald eyes sparkled with life and happiness. She was the desire off every guy at Tomoeda High and they constantly went out of their way to get a date with her.
" Don't leave without me, don't leave without me. " Sakura breathed as she flew down the stairs, just as the front door closed, closing her view of Tori, dressed ready for work. Sakura yelled frustrated and bolted down the stairs after him.
" Sakura! What about your breakfast? " Aiden yelled after her.
" No time! I'll see you after school dad! Bye! " Sakura yelled as she bolted out the door after her brother.
Aiden sighed as he watched his 17 year old daughter fly out the door.
* * *
" Tori wait! " Sakura yelled angrily, as she ran after him.
" You should learn to be on time squirt. Then you wouldn't have this problem. " Tori smirked, as she caught up with him.
Sakura glared at him.
" The only problem I currently have is you! " She threw back.
Tori laughed.
" You know if you learnt to get up earlier, you wouldn't always be in a rush. " Tori stated.
" Can I help it if I need my beauty sleep? " Sakura replied, shifting her hefty school bag into a more comforting position.
" Well you need more by the looks of it, because so far it hasn't work. " Tori taunted.
" Ouch! " Tori cried, rubbbing his now sore right arm.
" Hmph. " Sakura turned to look the other way, ignoring him.
* * *
" Now remember squirt, I'm over in that building right over there in case you need anything k? " Tori said.
Sakura nodded her head.
" Have fun Tori. " Sakura smiled at him.
Tori ruffled her hair.
" I will squirt. Behave, I'll be keeping my eye on you all day. " Tori warned.
Sakura pulled away from him and smoothed her hair.
" Anything else master? " she said sarcastically.
" Yeah, stay awake in - "
" Hey there gorgeous! " someone called.
Sakura turned around and looked across the play ground. She glared at the group of boys that were starring at her. Another cat called.
" Yo Avalon! You and me tonight huh? "
Sakura restrained Tori as he went to go after them.
" Leave it Tori. I can handle it. " Sakura said firmly.
Tori glared at the boys.
" Is this what you put up with everyday? " Tori demanded.
" They're boys Tori. They're jerks. You should know that. " Sakura said, smiling, trying to reasure her brother. The last thing she needed was Tori making a scene.
" Hmph. " Tori said and then realising that he was late, left her and went into the school office.
Sakura sighed and making sure that Tori was gone, walked through the playground, trying to find Madison.
" Come on Avalon! I'm dying over here! " the same guy called.
' If only. ' Sakura thought, and continued walking away, much to their disappointment.
* * *
Sakura sighed and continued to stare out the window as the maths lesson, she was forced to sit and put up with, continued to drag on and on.
" Psst. "
Sakura turned around and looked at her best friend.
" What's wrong Sakura? " Madison asked.
Madison had grown into a startling beauty too. Many had, on more than one ocassion, called her the ivory skinned goddess. Her silky black hair was still long, but a little shorter than her elementary school days. Her violet eyes had darkened a shade, making her appear more elf-kin than before. She was tall like Sakura and had a some-what lesser form than Sakura, but all the right curves stood out, making her another of the boys desires.
Just then a note landed on her table. Sakura opened it and read it. She grabbed her pen and wrote:
" When Hell freezes over. "
And tossed it back to its owner and ignored the look of disappointment on his face as he read her answer.
" That's what's wrong Madison. " Sakura sighed. " Everyday, it's the same boring old routine: Get up, run late, miss breakfast, starve all day, refuse one persistant egotistical male after another, go home, sleep and wake up to it all again. I'm sick of it all. I want something new and exciting to happen. I just want - "
" Would you and Miss Taylor like to share with us what is so interesting Miss Avalon? "
Sakura jumped.
" No sensai. " she replied guiltily.
" Then save it for after. "
Sakura turned gloomily back to her maths work and starred off into her own thoughts.
* * *
Sakura sat down under a cherry blossom tree and started eating her lunch. Madison came and sat down next to her.
" What have you got last? " she asked.
Sakura swallowed what she was eating and turned to Madison.
" Umm . . Cheerleading practise. "
Madison smiled.
" Working on your new boy distracting routine by any chance. " Madison giggled.
Sakura smiled and blushed a little.
" It is not a 'boy distracting routine' as you so nicely put it. It's just to distract the other team, if our team is losing. That's all. " Sakura replied.
" I don't care what you say Sakura. Your not going to ONLY distract the other team. More like the entire field. " she smiled brightly.
Sakura threw her a look.
" Yeah well it wasn't my idea. It was Nikki's. "
Madison started eating her lunch.
" I've got photgraphy last. " Madison said. " I've been looking forward to that class all day. " she sighed. " You just can't too many hours of the subjects that you love. "
Sakura smiled at her friends dreamy tone. Suddenly Madison looked like she just remembered something.
" You were saying in Maths before we got so rudely interuppted, something about wanting something new and exciting to do? " she asked, looking at Sakura curiously.
Sakura sighed and nodded.
" Wouldn't you if your life was the same in, same out all the time? I want an adrenaline
rush, the feeling of barely escaping, something dangerous and going through with it. "
Madison looked in thought for a moment before the bell rang. She stood up and brushed herself off. She looked down at her best friend.
" I just might have an idea. Let me ponder over it for a bit longer and work out the kinks k? I'll call you later. Bye! "
" Hey Madison wait! " Sakura called, but Madison was already gone.
* * *
Sakura was sitting at the dinner table, when the phone rang.
" I'll get it! " she yelled and raced out of the room. " I'll take that! " she stated and whipped the phone out of Tori's hand.
" How do you know it's for you? " Tori stated.
Sakura flashed him a cheeky grin as she bolted up the stairs.
" Who'd be calling you? Everyone loves the imouta! " she stated, talking into the phone.
" Who is it Tori? " Aiden asked, coming out of the kitchen.
Tori shook his head.
" Beats me, probably Madison. I swear you have to surgically remove the phone from Sakura's ear. "
Aiden laughed.
" Leave her alone Tori. She's a teenager, that's what they do. "
" I didn't. " Tori muttered.
" Yes, but you were always busy. " Aiden replied, going back into the kitchen.
Tori rolled his eyes.
" Don't be on that for too long Sakura! I'm expecting a call! " he yelled up the stairs.
" Get a mobile! " Sakura called back as she always did. She knew it got to him.
" I'll ' get a mobile' you in a minute if you don't watch it. " Tori muttered and walked back into the loungeroom.
* * *
" So what did you have in mind? " Sakura asked, laying on her bed.
" Ok, this might sound pretty weird at first, but let me tell you it first ok? "
" Shoot. "
" You said that you want the adrenaline rush, the feeling of just escaping and what not right? Well do you remember how we've been hearing about all these gang wars and all the fights that have started up between gangs? "
" Yeah. " Sakura said, not liking where this was going.
" Well what if you got in there and stired them up a little? "
" WHAT?! "
" Hear me out! Listen to this, last week a huge gang related fight broke out, in down town Nagano as two gangs fought over a precious diamond worth 1.5 million dollars. The two gangs are both fighting for ownership of the precious jewel and many more more are said to join, as the diamond is quite rare and worth money. "
" What does this have to do with me? " Sakura squeaked.
" What I'm proposing is that you become, I don't know, like a bringer of peace kinda thing. "
" You're not making any sense. " Sakura stated.
" Fine. Think of it this way: You go, you take the diamond, no diamond left for gangs to fight over. No fighting, no innoent people are going to get hurt. "
" One problem. Innocent Sakura goes and takes diamond, gangs follow poor Sakura and Sakura gets her ass kicked. Innocent people are still going to get hurt! So don't tell me that they won't! " Sakura threw back.
" You're looking into this much too deeply. " Madison stated.
" Uh huh, yeah sure. " Sakura said sarcastically.
" Do you want my help or not? " Madison demanded.
" One question. How do you propose that I learn everything that's required to get away with something like that huh? "
" Leave it all to me. " Madison stated happily.
" Oh man. " Sakura groaned.
" Sakura! Get off the damn phone! " Tori yelled up the stairs.
" Gotta go Madison. The taskmaster is barking orders again. "
" I heard that. " came over the phone.
" STOP LISTENING IN ON OUR CONVERSTATION!! " Madison and Sakura yelled in union.
Tori held the phone away from his poor throbbing ear.
*************************************************************************************************
~* In Hong Kong *~
17 year old Li Showrun walked into the study and stopped, glaring at the intruder. The 'intruder' was flicking a lighter as he leaned against the edge of the desk, smirking at the look on his cousins face.
" Glad to see you too cousin. " Eriol Hiiragizawa taunted.
Li glared.
" No matter how many times I try to forget that fact, you always deliberately keep reminding me. " he threw over at Eriol.
Eriol smirked.
" I know it pisses you off, so why wouldn't I? "
Li had grown exceptionally tall as the years had gone by, and well built due to all his training. He still had his messy, chesnut brown hair that had become his trademark. He still had the emotionless, cold amber eyes that could pierce a person's soul, and make you quiver in fear when there cold, angry gaze locked onto yours.
Eriol, like Li, had grown up much the same. Tall, well built, messy dark hair, and piercing gaze. But the difference? Eriol wasn't an unemotionless shell. Though both shared the same personality . . obnoxious.
" What you doing here? " Li asked, sitting down at the desk.
Eriol stopped playing with the lighter and turned around to face him.
" Wolves meeting tonight. " Eriol replied.
Li glared.
" I'm second after Wolf himself, and I'm the last to find out about these meetings.
Why? " Li demanded.
Eriol shrugged and then smirked.
" Maybe if you weren't so damn hard to find these days, you'd find out a litle eariler. "
" Where I go and what I do is my own buisnes, no one elses. " Li stated.
" Same old Li Showrun that we all love and adore. You don't change much, do you? "
" Still the annoying little shit that I hate. You don't change much do you Eriol? " Li threw back.
Eriol smirked and laughed. He shook his head, and then went to stand at the huge window, behind the desk. he stopped laughing and became serious.
" Rumour has it that we're losing our territory in Japan. Apparently some gang leader has taken it upon him self to make sure that what little ground we had is eliminated. "
Li turned around to face him, still sitting in the chair.
" Well what do expect when Wolf keeps all his pups in China? "
" I know, but he knows what he's doing. " Eriol replied.
" Used to, you mean. " Li asked.
Eriol leaned against the wall and crossed his arms.
" What makes you think that he doesn't? "
" It's just little things I've come to notice, but I think old age is starting to get to him. He's letting the Wolves slip and they're starting to become extinct, and you know as
does every Tom, Dick and Harry. "
" Well if I do pass Tom, Dick or Harry out in the corridor, I'll be sure to ask their opinion. See you later, I'm going to go check on all the new recrutes. " Eriol said and walked out the door.
" Eriol. " Li called.
Eriol poked his head around the door.
" What? "
" The girls dorms are the other way. "
" I see you changed it. It used to be the other way. " Eriol said.
Li smirked.
" Yeah the girls heard you were coming and ran the other way. "
" Ha, ha very funny Xiao Lang. "
* * *
~* Later at the end of the meeting *~
" This is bullshit and you know it! I refuse to sit here and listen to any more of it! " Li yelled and stormed out of the office.
" Li come back here! " Wolf, an elder of the Li clan, shouted.
The doors slammed shut after the fuming tirad had gone through them. Wolf leaned back and sighed.
He looked at the other members and waved his hand tiredly.
" Go, this meeting is over. "
Eriol smiled sadly at Wolf.
" I just don't understand why he got so upset. " Wolf sighed.
" What you and Li see are totally two different things. " Eriol replied.
Wolf nodded.
" I know. But what does he object to? "
" Li thinks that you're letting the Wolves waste away to extinction. He thinks you're a
fool for keping most of our own here in China. Li's only looking out for the future of the gang. Afterall, he has been promised leadership after you're gone. " Eriol said.
" But per usual, Li wants to rush in horns first and charge around like there a red flag in front of his eyes. Knowing something and proving it are two different things. Just because we know that are ground is slipping, doesn't mean it has, and that we have to go do something about it straight away. "
" I agree. But Li's worried, that if you let it go too long . . " Eriol trailed off.
Wolf sighed.
" We'll hang back just a while longer and see what happens. If there's one thing I've learnt in my long life, is that you always expect the unexpected. "
*************************************************************************************************
~* A month later *~
" I so do not believe I let you talk me into this. " Sakura groaned as Madison filmed her.
They were surrounded by total darkness, standing out near the Taylor garage, waiting for the automatic door to open. Sakura was dressed all in black. Actually . . everything was black. Madison had dyed Sakura's hair black. When Sakura had freaked, Madison had promised her that it was only a wash and that as soon as water touched it, her hair would be good as new. She had a black, tight long-sleeved top on that had nothing at the back of it, except for laces, criss-crossing her back. Her stomach was bare and had tight leather pants on. Add boots, and a black leather drench coach, black stylish glooves and she was complete.
" What are we doing Madison? " Sakura whispered.
Madison flicked the switch and light flooded the garage, revealing cars and bikes.
" I haven't done anything yet and already I feel like a thief. " Sakura muttered.
" Well your not and not going to be a thief Sakura. If taking something for the side of good and means that peace will follow, then how can you classify it as stealing? "
" You've obviciously rehearsed that. " Sakura stated flatly.
" Oh stop grumbling. You wanted to do something exciting and here's your chance. " Madison threw over her shoulder as they walked through towards the back.
" Getting killed was not part of the fantasy Madison. " Sakura shot back.
" Oh hush and tell me what you think? "
" Think what? "
Madison threw back the sheet covering the coolest bike Sakura had ever seen. It was black and had cherry blossoms along it. Sakura's mouth hit the ground.
" I was saving it for your 18th, but I guess now's a good time. "
Sakura looked up and met Madison eyes.
" I'm speechless. "
" Good. Now get on and go for it Sakura. Have the time of your life! "
* * *
Sakura stopped the bike outside the location Madison had given her. Over the last month, Sakura had been taught, trained, prepared and trained some more. Sakura discovered a whole new secretive side to Madison that she never even knew existed. Madison knew things that people didn't know, and practised things that shouldn't.
Sakura made sure to hide her bike and remember where it was. In front of her was the little club house that belonged to the Dare Devils. Music pumped from within it's walls and Sakura snuck up to the window and looked inside.
People danced and sang, drank and passed out. How was she going to distract them long enough to get in and find the damn diamond? A twinkle caught her eye and she spotted the 1.5 million dollar crystal that was causing so much trouble. She felt the shoulder bag/pouch that
Madison had given her. She felt the danger radiate from what she carried and bobbed down out of sight.
Fear engulfed her and she breathed heavily. She knew she couldn't do this. She was about to get up and go home, when her reckless side kicked in.
' Do you always want to be stuck in the same rut as you are in now? ' it asked.
" No. "
' Do you want to have guys practiaclly eat you as you walk past? '
" No. "
' Is that what you want? '
" No! "
' Then go in there and kick some Dare Devil ass! '
* * *
Sakura pulled the pin and threw the granade and ran like all hell. The party raged on, and still nothing happened. Sakura stood up.
" I must have done something wrong. "
"KA-BOOM! "
The party came to an abrupt stop as Dare Devils filed out into the direction of their garage, or should I say, what was left of their garage.
* * *
Sakura jumped in through a shattered window and crept over to the glass case where the diamond was kept. By rights it should be protected by some sort of force field or something like an alarm, but as Sakura studied it, she realised that there wasn't one. It was just begging her to 'take me'. Feeling terrible, Sakura stashed the diamond in her black velvet pouch and slapped the note she had written in Japanese onto the glass. As quick as lightning, she jumped back outside and headed towards her bike.
Tyson, the head huncho, ran back inside, some six sense telling him to check on his prize. He stopped dead when he saw that it was gone. He flew over to the case and picked up the note, reading the japanese lettering.
Sorry boys, but diamonds are a girls best friend. Thanks for the welcoming gift, it makes a new leader feel at home.
Jade Fox x x x
Tyson screwed up the letter and roared in rage. Headlights flared through the window and he ran over to see who it was. He was just in time to see a bike take off through the darkness.
And that was how the birth of the Jade Fox came about. . . . .
*************************************************************************************************
Chapter one : The Birth of the Jade Fox
" Sakura! Move it or lose it squirt! You've got less than five minutes! " Tori yelled.
Sakura's emerald eyes flew open as what her brother had yelled, sank in into her sleepy mind. She bolted up and tripped over her sheets and landed face first on her floor. Grumbling, she hauled herself up and bolted into her bathroom and in record breaking time, emerged dressed in her uniform and brushing her hair.
Sakura was tall for her seventeen years. She had the perfect figure, that every girl would have died for. Every curve in its right place, adding to her beauty. Her honey-brown hair was a little longer than when she had been in elementary, just brushing past her shoulders. Her emerald eyes sparkled with life and happiness. She was the desire off every guy at Tomoeda High and they constantly went out of their way to get a date with her.
" Don't leave without me, don't leave without me. " Sakura breathed as she flew down the stairs, just as the front door closed, closing her view of Tori, dressed ready for work. Sakura yelled frustrated and bolted down the stairs after him.
" Sakura! What about your breakfast? " Aiden yelled after her.
" No time! I'll see you after school dad! Bye! " Sakura yelled as she bolted out the door after her brother.
Aiden sighed as he watched his 17 year old daughter fly out the door.
* * *
" Tori wait! " Sakura yelled angrily, as she ran after him.
" You should learn to be on time squirt. Then you wouldn't have this problem. " Tori smirked, as she caught up with him.
Sakura glared at him.
" The only problem I currently have is you! " She threw back.
Tori laughed.
" You know if you learnt to get up earlier, you wouldn't always be in a rush. " Tori stated.
" Can I help it if I need my beauty sleep? " Sakura replied, shifting her hefty school bag into a more comforting position.
" Well you need more by the looks of it, because so far it hasn't work. " Tori taunted.
" Ouch! " Tori cried, rubbbing his now sore right arm.
" Hmph. " Sakura turned to look the other way, ignoring him.
* * *
" Now remember squirt, I'm over in that building right over there in case you need anything k? " Tori said.
Sakura nodded her head.
" Have fun Tori. " Sakura smiled at him.
Tori ruffled her hair.
" I will squirt. Behave, I'll be keeping my eye on you all day. " Tori warned.
Sakura pulled away from him and smoothed her hair.
" Anything else master? " she said sarcastically.
" Yeah, stay awake in - "
" Hey there gorgeous! " someone called.
Sakura turned around and looked across the play ground. She glared at the group of boys that were starring at her. Another cat called.
" Yo Avalon! You and me tonight huh? "
Sakura restrained Tori as he went to go after them.
" Leave it Tori. I can handle it. " Sakura said firmly.
Tori glared at the boys.
" Is this what you put up with everyday? " Tori demanded.
" They're boys Tori. They're jerks. You should know that. " Sakura said, smiling, trying to reasure her brother. The last thing she needed was Tori making a scene.
" Hmph. " Tori said and then realising that he was late, left her and went into the school office.
Sakura sighed and making sure that Tori was gone, walked through the playground, trying to find Madison.
" Come on Avalon! I'm dying over here! " the same guy called.
' If only. ' Sakura thought, and continued walking away, much to their disappointment.
* * *
Sakura sighed and continued to stare out the window as the maths lesson, she was forced to sit and put up with, continued to drag on and on.
" Psst. "
Sakura turned around and looked at her best friend.
" What's wrong Sakura? " Madison asked.
Madison had grown into a startling beauty too. Many had, on more than one ocassion, called her the ivory skinned goddess. Her silky black hair was still long, but a little shorter than her elementary school days. Her violet eyes had darkened a shade, making her appear more elf-kin than before. She was tall like Sakura and had a some-what lesser form than Sakura, but all the right curves stood out, making her another of the boys desires.
Just then a note landed on her table. Sakura opened it and read it. She grabbed her pen and wrote:
" When Hell freezes over. "
And tossed it back to its owner and ignored the look of disappointment on his face as he read her answer.
" That's what's wrong Madison. " Sakura sighed. " Everyday, it's the same boring old routine: Get up, run late, miss breakfast, starve all day, refuse one persistant egotistical male after another, go home, sleep and wake up to it all again. I'm sick of it all. I want something new and exciting to happen. I just want - "
" Would you and Miss Taylor like to share with us what is so interesting Miss Avalon? "
Sakura jumped.
" No sensai. " she replied guiltily.
" Then save it for after. "
Sakura turned gloomily back to her maths work and starred off into her own thoughts.
* * *
Sakura sat down under a cherry blossom tree and started eating her lunch. Madison came and sat down next to her.
" What have you got last? " she asked.
Sakura swallowed what she was eating and turned to Madison.
" Umm . . Cheerleading practise. "
Madison smiled.
" Working on your new boy distracting routine by any chance. " Madison giggled.
Sakura smiled and blushed a little.
" It is not a 'boy distracting routine' as you so nicely put it. It's just to distract the other team, if our team is losing. That's all. " Sakura replied.
" I don't care what you say Sakura. Your not going to ONLY distract the other team. More like the entire field. " she smiled brightly.
Sakura threw her a look.
" Yeah well it wasn't my idea. It was Nikki's. "
Madison started eating her lunch.
" I've got photgraphy last. " Madison said. " I've been looking forward to that class all day. " she sighed. " You just can't too many hours of the subjects that you love. "
Sakura smiled at her friends dreamy tone. Suddenly Madison looked like she just remembered something.
" You were saying in Maths before we got so rudely interuppted, something about wanting something new and exciting to do? " she asked, looking at Sakura curiously.
Sakura sighed and nodded.
" Wouldn't you if your life was the same in, same out all the time? I want an adrenaline
rush, the feeling of barely escaping, something dangerous and going through with it. "
Madison looked in thought for a moment before the bell rang. She stood up and brushed herself off. She looked down at her best friend.
" I just might have an idea. Let me ponder over it for a bit longer and work out the kinks k? I'll call you later. Bye! "
" Hey Madison wait! " Sakura called, but Madison was already gone.
* * *
Sakura was sitting at the dinner table, when the phone rang.
" I'll get it! " she yelled and raced out of the room. " I'll take that! " she stated and whipped the phone out of Tori's hand.
" How do you know it's for you? " Tori stated.
Sakura flashed him a cheeky grin as she bolted up the stairs.
" Who'd be calling you? Everyone loves the imouta! " she stated, talking into the phone.
" Who is it Tori? " Aiden asked, coming out of the kitchen.
Tori shook his head.
" Beats me, probably Madison. I swear you have to surgically remove the phone from Sakura's ear. "
Aiden laughed.
" Leave her alone Tori. She's a teenager, that's what they do. "
" I didn't. " Tori muttered.
" Yes, but you were always busy. " Aiden replied, going back into the kitchen.
Tori rolled his eyes.
" Don't be on that for too long Sakura! I'm expecting a call! " he yelled up the stairs.
" Get a mobile! " Sakura called back as she always did. She knew it got to him.
" I'll ' get a mobile' you in a minute if you don't watch it. " Tori muttered and walked back into the loungeroom.
* * *
" So what did you have in mind? " Sakura asked, laying on her bed.
" Ok, this might sound pretty weird at first, but let me tell you it first ok? "
" Shoot. "
" You said that you want the adrenaline rush, the feeling of just escaping and what not right? Well do you remember how we've been hearing about all these gang wars and all the fights that have started up between gangs? "
" Yeah. " Sakura said, not liking where this was going.
" Well what if you got in there and stired them up a little? "
" WHAT?! "
" Hear me out! Listen to this, last week a huge gang related fight broke out, in down town Nagano as two gangs fought over a precious diamond worth 1.5 million dollars. The two gangs are both fighting for ownership of the precious jewel and many more more are said to join, as the diamond is quite rare and worth money. "
" What does this have to do with me? " Sakura squeaked.
" What I'm proposing is that you become, I don't know, like a bringer of peace kinda thing. "
" You're not making any sense. " Sakura stated.
" Fine. Think of it this way: You go, you take the diamond, no diamond left for gangs to fight over. No fighting, no innoent people are going to get hurt. "
" One problem. Innocent Sakura goes and takes diamond, gangs follow poor Sakura and Sakura gets her ass kicked. Innocent people are still going to get hurt! So don't tell me that they won't! " Sakura threw back.
" You're looking into this much too deeply. " Madison stated.
" Uh huh, yeah sure. " Sakura said sarcastically.
" Do you want my help or not? " Madison demanded.
" One question. How do you propose that I learn everything that's required to get away with something like that huh? "
" Leave it all to me. " Madison stated happily.
" Oh man. " Sakura groaned.
" Sakura! Get off the damn phone! " Tori yelled up the stairs.
" Gotta go Madison. The taskmaster is barking orders again. "
" I heard that. " came over the phone.
" STOP LISTENING IN ON OUR CONVERSTATION!! " Madison and Sakura yelled in union.
Tori held the phone away from his poor throbbing ear.
*************************************************************************************************
~* In Hong Kong *~
17 year old Li Showrun walked into the study and stopped, glaring at the intruder. The 'intruder' was flicking a lighter as he leaned against the edge of the desk, smirking at the look on his cousins face.
" Glad to see you too cousin. " Eriol Hiiragizawa taunted.
Li glared.
" No matter how many times I try to forget that fact, you always deliberately keep reminding me. " he threw over at Eriol.
Eriol smirked.
" I know it pisses you off, so why wouldn't I? "
Li had grown exceptionally tall as the years had gone by, and well built due to all his training. He still had his messy, chesnut brown hair that had become his trademark. He still had the emotionless, cold amber eyes that could pierce a person's soul, and make you quiver in fear when there cold, angry gaze locked onto yours.
Eriol, like Li, had grown up much the same. Tall, well built, messy dark hair, and piercing gaze. But the difference? Eriol wasn't an unemotionless shell. Though both shared the same personality . . obnoxious.
" What you doing here? " Li asked, sitting down at the desk.
Eriol stopped playing with the lighter and turned around to face him.
" Wolves meeting tonight. " Eriol replied.
Li glared.
" I'm second after Wolf himself, and I'm the last to find out about these meetings.
Why? " Li demanded.
Eriol shrugged and then smirked.
" Maybe if you weren't so damn hard to find these days, you'd find out a litle eariler. "
" Where I go and what I do is my own buisnes, no one elses. " Li stated.
" Same old Li Showrun that we all love and adore. You don't change much, do you? "
" Still the annoying little shit that I hate. You don't change much do you Eriol? " Li threw back.
Eriol smirked and laughed. He shook his head, and then went to stand at the huge window, behind the desk. he stopped laughing and became serious.
" Rumour has it that we're losing our territory in Japan. Apparently some gang leader has taken it upon him self to make sure that what little ground we had is eliminated. "
Li turned around to face him, still sitting in the chair.
" Well what do expect when Wolf keeps all his pups in China? "
" I know, but he knows what he's doing. " Eriol replied.
" Used to, you mean. " Li asked.
Eriol leaned against the wall and crossed his arms.
" What makes you think that he doesn't? "
" It's just little things I've come to notice, but I think old age is starting to get to him. He's letting the Wolves slip and they're starting to become extinct, and you know as
does every Tom, Dick and Harry. "
" Well if I do pass Tom, Dick or Harry out in the corridor, I'll be sure to ask their opinion. See you later, I'm going to go check on all the new recrutes. " Eriol said and walked out the door.
" Eriol. " Li called.
Eriol poked his head around the door.
" What? "
" The girls dorms are the other way. "
" I see you changed it. It used to be the other way. " Eriol said.
Li smirked.
" Yeah the girls heard you were coming and ran the other way. "
" Ha, ha very funny Xiao Lang. "

~* Later at the end of the meeting *~
" This is bullshit and you know it! I refuse to sit here and listen to any more of it! " Li yelled and stormed out of the office.
" Li come back here! " Wolf, an elder of the Li clan, shouted.
The doors slammed shut after the fuming tirad had gone through them. Wolf leaned back and sighed.
He looked at the other members and waved his hand tiredly.
" Go, this meeting is over. "
Eriol smiled sadly at Wolf.
" I just don't understand why he got so upset. " Wolf sighed.
" What you and Li see are totally two different things. " Eriol replied.
Wolf nodded.
" I know. But what does he object to? "
" Li thinks that you're letting the Wolves waste away to extinction. He thinks you're a
fool for keping most of our own here in China. Li's only looking out for the future of the gang. Afterall, he has been promised leadership after you're gone. " Eriol said.
" But per usual, Li wants to rush in horns first and charge around like there a red flag in front of his eyes. Knowing something and proving it are two different things. Just because we know that are ground is slipping, doesn't mean it has, and that we have to go do something about it straight away. "
" I agree. But Li's worried, that if you let it go too long . . " Eriol trailed off.
Wolf sighed.
" We'll hang back just a while longer and see what happens. If there's one thing I've learnt in my long life, is that you always expect the unexpected. "

~* A month later *~
" I so do not believe I let you talk me into this. " Sakura groaned as Madison filmed her.
They were surrounded by total darkness, standing out near the Taylor garage, waiting for the automatic door to open. Sakura was dressed all in black. Actually . . everything was black. Madison had dyed Sakura's hair black. When Sakura had freaked, Madison had promised her that it was only a wash and that as soon as water touched it, her hair would be good as new. She had a black, tight long-sleeved top on that had nothing at the back of it, except for laces, criss-crossing her back. Her stomach was bare and had tight leather pants on. Add boots, and a black leather drench coach, black stylish glooves and she was complete.
" What are we doing Madison? " Sakura whispered.
Madison flicked the switch and light flooded the garage, revealing cars and bikes.
" I haven't done anything yet and already I feel like a thief. " Sakura muttered.
" Well your not and not going to be a thief Sakura. If taking something for the side of good and means that peace will follow, then how can you classify it as stealing? "
" You've obviciously rehearsed that. " Sakura stated flatly.
" Oh stop grumbling. You wanted to do something exciting and here's your chance. " Madison threw over her shoulder as they walked through towards the back.
" Getting killed was not part of the fantasy Madison. " Sakura shot back.
" Oh hush and tell me what you think? "
" Think what? "
Madison threw back the sheet covering the coolest bike Sakura had ever seen. It was black and had cherry blossoms along it. Sakura's mouth hit the ground.
" I was saving it for your 18th, but I guess now's a good time. "
Sakura looked up and met Madison eyes.
" I'm speechless. "
" Good. Now get on and go for it Sakura. Have the time of your life! "
* * *
Sakura stopped the bike outside the location Madison had given her. Over the last month, Sakura had been taught, trained, prepared and trained some more. Sakura discovered a whole new secretive side to Madison that she never even knew existed. Madison knew things that people didn't know, and practised things that shouldn't.
Sakura made sure to hide her bike and remember where it was. In front of her was the little club house that belonged to the Dare Devils. Music pumped from within it's walls and Sakura snuck up to the window and looked inside.
People danced and sang, drank and passed out. How was she going to distract them long enough to get in and find the damn diamond? A twinkle caught her eye and she spotted the 1.5 million dollar crystal that was causing so much trouble. She felt the shoulder bag/pouch that
Madison had given her. She felt the danger radiate from what she carried and bobbed down out of sight.
Fear engulfed her and she breathed heavily. She knew she couldn't do this. She was about to get up and go home, when her reckless side kicked in.
' Do you always want to be stuck in the same rut as you are in now? ' it asked.
" No. "
' Do you want to have guys practiaclly eat you as you walk past? '
" No. "
' Is that what you want? '
" No! "
' Then go in there and kick some Dare Devil ass! '
* * *
Sakura pulled the pin and threw the granade and ran like all hell. The party raged on, and still nothing happened. Sakura stood up.
" I must have done something wrong. "
"KA-BOOM! "
The party came to an abrupt stop as Dare Devils filed out into the direction of their garage, or should I say, what was left of their garage.
* * *
Sakura jumped in through a shattered window and crept over to the glass case where the diamond was kept. By rights it should be protected by some sort of force field or something like an alarm, but as Sakura studied it, she realised that there wasn't one. It was just begging her to 'take me'. Feeling terrible, Sakura stashed the diamond in her black velvet pouch and slapped the note she had written in Japanese onto the glass. As quick as lightning, she jumped back outside and headed towards her bike.
Tyson, the head huncho, ran back inside, some six sense telling him to check on his prize. He stopped dead when he saw that it was gone. He flew over to the case and picked up the note, reading the japanese lettering.
Sorry boys, but diamonds are a girls best friend. Thanks for the welcoming gift, it makes a new leader feel at home.
Jade Fox x x x
Tyson screwed up the letter and roared in rage. Headlights flared through the window and he ran over to see who it was. He was just in time to see a bike take off through the darkness.
And that was how the birth of the Jade Fox came about. . . . .
