Note: This chapter may be rather… boring. I had a hard time writing what I was thinking. Anyway, here's chapter 2: WEDDING! Enjoy!
Chapter 2: Wedding
"Well done, Sakura!" I turned to see Eriol standing on the yacht's railing.
"All in the days work." I said. "Let's go Tomoyo!"
"Ay, ay captain!" We both burst into fits of giggles as the boat started.
0o0o0o0o0o0oo0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
"Why are we here again?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at Tomoyo. "Weren't we here just a few hours ago?"
"Sammy wants us to go into a mission." Tomoyo said.
"Again?" I groaned. "Fine. But I'm not getting naked for this one."
Tomoyo chuckled.
A few minutes later, we arrived in front of two big oak doors.
Tomoyo knocked.
"Come in." We both entered, and walked towards the large wooden table in the middle of the large office. Samantha Mead, our boss, was sitting on her chair facing a large window that overlooks the city.
"What now?" I asked.
"Tomorrow," Sam said, turning her chair so that she's facing us. "Sunday. I will be attending a wedding. Syaoran Li and Lezzly Yester's wedding."
"Isn't that the wedding Eriol will be attending?" I asked.
"Yes, it is."
"And this concerns us, how?" Tomoyo asked, getting impatient.
"I'm not sure that the security they put in is enough." Sam leaned back on her chair. "And I'm fearing that an attack will be made."
"So…" I started.
"I want you two to come with me as my," She paused, thinking of the right word to use. "Bodyguards."
I scrunched up my face, thinking of the uniform we're going to wear. Eww!
I think she read my mind since she raised her right hand in front of us.
"Don't worry, you won't need to wear the uniforms the others use." She said, grinning.
Tomoyo and I sighed in relief.
"Is this going to be a big wedding? Or just a small family and friends only, wedding?" I asked.
"Family and friends."
I thought about it for a while.
"But then, if it's just family and friends, why would they hire security?" I said.
"Yeah. Who would want them dead? I mean, they are family." Tomoyo agreed.
"Exactly." Sam said, standing up. "Because it's just family and friends, the Li's and the Yester's disregarded the thought of there being an attack, thus not thinking of getting security."
"Oh." Was all I could say.
"I'm in." Tomoyo shrugged. "It's just a wedding."
"Fine." I said. "I'm in."
"Eggzellent!" Sam said, clapping her hands together. "Be here by 3 in the afternoon tomorrow. The wedding is at 5, at the Santa Clara church. Bring your handguns… only your handguns."
We started out of the office when Tomoyo turned to look at Sam.
"What are we going to wear?"
"Formal." Sam said, sitting down again.
"Color?" I asked, turning around.
"Any." She said.
Suddenly, I felt a tug at my shirt. I turned.
"Come on Sakura! I have the perfect dress to put you in!" Tomoyo said, star eyed.
"Just make sure it's decent." Sam grinned.
I groaned. Every time we go to a party, Tomoyo insists that I wear one of her new creations. wouldn't be surprised if I look like a birthday cake in what she's going to put me in.
Just kidding!

We arrived at HQ lobby at five to 3. Tomoyo and I spent most of the morning in the salon, getting our hair done, nails polished and make up, and most of the afternoon getting dressed.
"Ahh! There you are!" We both turned around and saw Sam.
She was wearing a midnight blue halter dress that has an A- line skirt that ended just above the knees. The top of the dress was sprinkled with fake diamonds that shined when it catches light.
"Hey Sammy!" Tomoyo and I said giving her a hug, and a peck on the cheek.
"You're looking good." Tomoyo said, eyeing the dress and taking in every detail.
"You two look good yourselves." She said, sounding amused.
"Hey, it's all thanks to Tommy here." I placed my hand on Tomoyo's shoulder.
I was wearing a deep green spaghetti strapped dress that has a handkerchief skirt that ended above the knees. The waist was decorated with a black ribbon that was three inches wide.
"Hey!" Tomoyo said, playfully slapping my arm. "I told you not to call me that!"
Tomoyo was wearing a light pink sleeveless dress. The v shaped neck of the dress was lined with white lace and sequence. The A- line skirt ended a few inches below the knee. A hot pink ribbon was decorated around her waist.
"Well, enough chit chat." Sam said, clapping her hands together. "Shall we?"
A black limousine drove in front of us, and the chauffer opened the door for us.
"Wait, I almost forgot." Sam got two boxes from her purse. "Here."
She handed us one each.
I looked at her questioningly.
"Your earpieces."
We both nodded.
With that finished, we climbed in the car and drove to the wedding.
We arrived at the church half past four because of the traffic.
Traffic due to the many people who were crowded in front of the gates of the church.
The church, Santa Clara, is one of the most beautiful churches in the world. It is surrounded by a large garden. The back of the church is a beach, where people usually go. But today, it was reserved for the reception of the wedding.
We stopped in front of the doors that led inside.
"Before we go out, I want to know where your handguns are." Sam said.
I pointed to my right thigh where I placed my holster.
Tomoyo did too.
"Good." Sam motioned for the chauffer to open the door for us.
When we were out, we were greeted by a beautiful lady in a cream colored tube dress that ended below her knees.
"Samantha! It's nice to see you again!" She said, giving Sam a hug and a peck on the cheek.
"I haven't seen you since Syaoran's birth!" Sam said, returning the hug and the kiss.
"And who are these two young ladies?" The lady said, pulling away from Sam's hug.
"Yelan Li, Sakura Kinomoto and Tomoyo Daidouji, my bodyguards. Sakura, Tomoyo, Yelan Li."
"A pleasure to meet you." Tomoyo and I said, bowing.
"The pleasures all mine ladies." Yelan said, bowing as well.
"Well, we better get going inside, you have more guests to entertain." Sam pointed at the approaching limousine. "I'll talk to you later."
As we entered the church I saw that there were already people sitting on the pews. The priest was already sitting on his chair.
We went to the third pew from the front and sat down: Me on the aisle, Sam, then Tomoyo beside a girl who was sitting confidently beside her sister, I presume, who was busy talking on her phone.
"So how do you know Mrs. Li?" I asked Sam.
"We were best friends when we were in college." She simply said.
"Oh." I looked at my watch and noted that it was five to five. "It's about to start."
(Normal Point of View)
Everyone stood up as the wedding march played. A little girl of about five years old walked down the aisle throwing roses around. Then a boy not older than eight followed, holding a pillow where the rings were.
Sakura took a look down the aisle in front of the altar and saw the groom, Syaoran Li, looking handsome, and nervous, in his tux, standing beside Eriol, who was his best man. Then she looked at the priest, who had light brown hair, dark skin, and black eyes that hid behind his glasses. He was constantly glancing at something in the book and back at the bride, who was walking down the aisle. Sakura had a feeling that the priest was up to something, but just shrugged it off, and placed her gaze on the bride who was looking happy and who was looking at the groom. Then something unexpected happened.
BANG!
Sakura shifted her gaze to the priest and saw him holding a gun. She quickly whipped out her gun and shot him. It hit him on his right shoulder. He quickly gripped it and fell to the ground.
That's when the commotion started. Everybody was screaming. Women and children were trying to get out of the church.
"Tomoyo go do first aid! I'll call paramedics!" Sam shouted at Tomoyo. "Sakura! Go! We don't want to loose him!"
Sakura quickly ran down the aisle, past Syaoran and Eriol who were standing there, mouths open, and up the altar where the priest was getting up, recovering from the shot.
"Stop right there!" Sakura said, pointing her gun at the priest.
"I don't think so!" He shouted, grabbing his gun and shooting, which hit Sakura on her hips.
Her legs gave way and she fell to her knees, giving the priest a head start. She quickly got to her feet and ran after him to the back room.
When she reached the room, she saw him climbing up the stairs that led to the bell tower. She followed him up, not certain if she was going to make it, she was loosing blood just standing, how much more if she climbed up five flights of stairs? Putting those thoughts aside, she started up the stairs. After a few minutes of agony, she reached the top, where she saw the priest climbing up the railings, preparing to jump.
"That's the farthest you're gonna get mister!" Sakura shouted, ignoring the pain that was traveling up her body.
He looked at her with a smirk. "That's what you think. Well, it was nice chatting with you, but I've got a boat to catch!"
"But we're a hundred feet off the ground!" Sakura said, slowly walking towards the priest. "How will you get down there?"
"Haven't you ever heard of a parachute?" He said.
"Parachuting? A hundred feet above the ground? Isn't that too near?"
He shrugged.
With that, he jumped down. Sakura ran to the railings to watch him. A second later he opened his parachute and stirred it to a boat that was waiting for him.
Sakura sighed and turned her mouth piece on.
"I lost him." She said, sliding down the wall.
She sighed.
"That's okay. Where are you?" Tomoyo answered.
"-"
"Sakura?"
"-crackle-"
"SAKURA! Where are you?! This is not funny."
"-"
"Oh shit! Sam! I've lost Sakura!"
"What do you mean you lost her?"
"She's not responding!"
"She can't be far. Try looking for her in the back room-"
BEEP
