"Can I help you" She said calmly.
"I was looking through this book and noticed that page 42 was missing." He said placing a book on the counter.
"I'll take a look at that." By the time Sakura looked up the door was jingling on his way out. Sakura flipped through the pages …40, 41. When she flipped to 42 it was perfectly intact but it had a note attached to it. Sakura read the note and quickly shut the book slipping it into a drawer at her desk.
The Rebel
Chapter 2: Police Involved in Drug Dealing
"I got a tip today" Sakura told Eriol over dinner.
"Like a money tip?" He asked, realizing how stupid he sounded.
"No, some guy gave me a note saying a big drug deal is going down by the city border involving a senator."
"Was he a rebel? It could be a trap." Eriol said frowning.
"It's worth checking out!" Sakura said putting her dish and the wash. "It'll be fine" she smiled to ease Eriol's concern. "This could be good stuff." She said running upstairs. She changed out of her flowery clothes and put on all black, tied up her hair and covered her face. The transformation from Noriko to Sakura was complete. She gave Eriol a reassuring pat and left through the basement.
Eriol turned and noticed folded fabric lying on top of the equipment. The note said: "To Sakura, Love Tomoyo." Eriol picked up the little leather number and couldn't help but imagine it hugging Sakura's slender body. Eriol blushed and refolded the garment. She'd never wear it anyway.
Sakura was waiting right at the spot the note specified. Sure enough a man carrying a bag stood waiting deliberately out of the light of a street lamp. Sakura changed her lens to night lens. To her surprise a cop car drove up to the man. A cop got out with a briefcase and the two men switched bags. Sakura snapped away on her camera then popped out the role and put it in her pocket. She got up and began to approach the scene when she heard clicks and found herself facing four painters between her and the cop, the dealer had already ran for it.
"Damn it" she said as she put her hands in the air.
"Fire" one man shouted. Sakura conjured a shield just in time. The shield absorbed the bullets making ripples in the air like pebbles on the water. Sakura pushed her hand forward throwing the same shield at the painters knocking them over. Then with a flash she jumped over them and grabbed the cop.
"Who do you work for?" Sakura yelled suspending the cop a foot off the ground. He opened his mouth to answer when a gun fired. Sakura stood wide eyed with shock waiting for the pain to wash over her. Then she noticed the cop slump and drop the bag of drugs. Sakura turned to see a painter drop his gun before going unconscious. Swearing under her breath Sakura grabbed the bag and ran for it.
She stopped a block away and closed her eyes. She let her mind feel out around her searching for something. When she opened her eyes she whipped around and glared straight up at the man with the sunglasses. He was watching her from the roof of a tall brick building.
Sakura shot off the ground up to the roof. She rounded on the man
"You set me up!" She shouted pinning him against the wall with an invisible force. He effortlessly waved aside her spell. Sakura was shocked.
"Who are you?" she demanded. Her voice was full of hostility and her anger was making her flow with power despite her distance from the earth.
"My name is Syaoran." He replied in a steady voice.
"Did you set me up?"
"I had to see what you could do." Syaoran said "You should have killed those men when you had the chance!"
"I don't like killing," Sakura retorted. She had a fire in her eyes that would scare any man. "…Unless I have to!" She finished as a glowing orb began to grow between her hands. Syaoran just casually walked towards her. She fired, but he dodged it and it exploded taking out an entire chimney. Now just a foot away from her he whispered.
"You're still not ready to help me break in to Factory 42 yet, Sakura Kinomoto." He said before vanishing into thin air.
