Hey everyone! Sorry for not writing for so long. I was busy. Anyway, this is the second chapter for The Green Figure. I don't own any of the characters in this story except Michelle, Mike and Sayau. The title for this chapter is Black mailed.

"Well Li. I'd tell you the truth, but I think you should find out yourself." Answered Sayau. "And how do you expect me to do that?" asked Li. "Well, you could always ask her." Suggested Sayau.

Li went pale just thinking about it. Sakura had told him that she didn't, how could he with stand another rejection.

"Let's go to sleep, Li. We can talk about this tomorrow." Said Sayau as he went to sleep. "Yea, I guess." Said Li.

The next morning Li woke up early to do his training as usual. 'Man, if Sakura only knew.' He thought. Li couldn't concentrate on his training. "Urghhh. get out of my head." Li yelled in frustration. "Li, are you O.K?" asked Sakura as she came out of Meilin's room.

"Sakura! I didn't mean to wake you up." Li blushed. Sakura giggled, "Don't worry about it, Li. So, what's wrong?" asked Sakura. "Nothing Sakura." Answered Li. Sakura looked at him questioningly, but then decided to let it go and went into the bathroom.

Li let out a sigh of relief. "Great way to say good morning to a girl Li." Laughed Sayau. "Oh, you woke up too?" said Li.

"You were so loud, who wouldn't?" laughed Sayau. "Meilin." Answered Li. "You mean she can sleep through that?" asked Sayau in amusement. "Though she's trained with me when we were young, she tends to like to get her full rest better. She's a heavy sleeper let's just say." Li sweat dropped. Sayau laughed.

Just then, Sakura came out of the bathroom. "Hi Sayau, guess you're awake too." Smiled Sakura. "Yea, Li here woke me up." Laughed Sayau. Li blushed. "Same here." Smiled Sakura, "Shouldn't Meilin be up already?" asked Sakura. Li sweat dropped. "No, she's still sleeping." Answered Sayau. "Hoe?"

"Can you guys keep it down, I'm trying to sleep." Yelled Meilin. "Guess she woke up after all." Said Li. "Yea." Said Sayau. Sakura laughed.

Li knew he couldn't do his training now, so he started cooking breakfast. "Wow Li, I didn't know you could cook. This looks delicious." Said Sakura.

Just then Meilin came out, "Of course he can cook. And he's great at it too." She said. "Meilin, you're up early." Said Li. "With you guys talking so loudly, who wouldn't?" said Meilin.

"Well, I better get going." Said Sayau, as he was about to leave. "Wait," said Meilin, "I'm coming with you. I wouldn't miss a chance to leave those two alone. Just let me get change." Then in less than ten minutes Meilin came out of her room and up to Sayau's side.

"That was quick." Said Sayau. "I was in a hurry. Well bye Li. Hope you two have a nice conversation." And with that, Meilin dragged Sayau out.

Li put their breakfast on the table. "Here Sakura, try this and tell me what you think." Said Li. Sakura took a fork and tried a bit of Chinese looking salad. "Wow Li! That tastes so good. What is it?" asked Sakura. "Chinese snails and lettuce." Answered Li. Sakura spat out the remaining food left in her mouth and went pale.

"Just kidding. It's Chinese lettuce with a bit of my secret sauce." Said Li, beginning to wipe the floor. "Oh, sorry about that. I'll help." Said Sakura as she got down on her knees and started to help Li wipe the mess that she had made.

"Well thanks for the great breakfast Li, I better get going now." Said Sakura as she headed toward the door. "Bye Sakura." Said Li. Sakura turned the doorknob, but it was stuck. "Uh Li, I think I need your help." She said. LI went up to the door and tried to open it.

"Oh no." said Li. "What is it Li?" Asked Sakura. "I think Meilin looked us in.," answered Li, he was getting pale. "What!" yelped Sakura.

Meilin was over at Sayau's apartment, it was right across the hall. She laughed as she heard Sakura scream. "What's so funny?" asked Sayau. "I locked them in there by themselves." Laughed Meilin. "Shouldn't we help them?" asked Sayau. "No you baka." Said Meilin, "We leave them in there." Meilin continued. "You're evil Meilin." Said Sayau. "More than you'll ever know. May I use your phone?" she asked. "Go ahead." Answered Sayau.

Ring, ring. Li's phone rang.

"Hello?" asked Li.

*Li? It's Meilin. *

"Meilin! What's the big idea?"

*What are you talking about Li? * Asked Meilin pretending to be innocent.

"You know what I mean Meilin."

*What? *

"Why did you lock Sakura and me in here?"

*Oh, you mean that. Well, so that you could talk to her. * Meilin smiled.

"I can talk to her whenever I want!"

*No you can't. You can't even start a conversation without changing the subject Li. I'm doing this for your own good. *

"You mean so that you can humiliate me."

*Li, I want you to talk to Sakura about what happened the other day. If you don't, you and her will be stuck there. Of course, you'd like that wouldn't you? * Meilin laughed.

Li blushed. "This isn't funny Meilin. Let us out!"

*Not until you've solved this. * Then she hung up.

"Well, what did she say?" asked Sakura. "Nothing." Answered Li as he turned on the television. "I can't stay here Li." Said Sakura. "I know, but Sakura. I don't want to loose you. Meilin wants us to talk about what happened the other day." Said Li. "So?" asked Sakura. "I don't feel like it." Answered Li. "I need to call my brother." "Go ahead, the phone is right there." Said Li, pointing to the little table next to him.

Sakura picked up the phone and dialed her home number.

*Hello, Kinomoto's residence. *

"Hello? Tori? It's me, Sakura."

*Oh, hey squirt. *

"Don't call me that."

*So what do you want? *

"I'm stuck. I won't be back for a while, so don't worry about me O.K?"

*Where are you right now? *

"At a friend's house."

*Which one? *

"Madison's."

*Oh, O.K.*

"Thanks."

*Whatever squirt, just be back before dinner. *

"O.K."



*Hello? *

"Madison? It's me, Sakura."

*What is it Sakura? *

"I'm trapped in Li's house." Whined Sakura.

*Oh, Meilin did that already? * Madison smiled.

"You knew?" Sakura asked in shock.

*Of course Sakura! Kawaiiii! I told Meilin to tape you guys for me! *

Sakura sweat dropped. "Madison."

*Bye Sakura! Have a great time with Li! * Madison smiled as she hung up.

"Any Luck?" asked Li. "No." answered Sakura sadly. Li took out his sword and went out on the balcony. "What are you planning to do Li?" asked Sakura. "Don't worry Sakura, I'll get you out." Answered Li. Li looked up then down. He went into his room and got some rope with a hook at the end.

"Watch out Sakura." He said as he swung the rope. It landed on the roof of the apartment. He tugged on the rope three times to make sure it was secure, then climbed up it. "Li! Be careful." Sakura said. "Don't worry Sakura, I will." Answered Li.
