Fireflies – Chapter 2

Touya sat next to Seiya Morimoto his - father's longtime business partner – with a grim expression. The old man had white hair and had wrinkles, he wasn't fat but yet wasn't skinny either. Touya looked at his friends as they took their seats around the table.

"Touya, I must say your father would be very proud of you." He smiled kindly; he started to smoke a cigar. Touya's nose wrinkled in distaste, smokers disgusted him.

"Shall we get to business?" Touya spoke looking at Seiya. The old man nodded and pulled out a thick folder. Takashi drank his wine, as Yukito got up and walked to the window that looked down at the dance floor where he saw Sakura and the girls laughing and dancing happily. He looked at Tatsu and nodded, Tatsu then looked at Touya and smiled with a small nod of his head. Telling him that the girls were safe.

o O o O o O o

Sakura looked up seeing Kokuyo and another man dressed in black on the second floor watching them, she noticed two more on the level she was on and wrinkled her nose. Kyo, Kokuyo's brother, stared straight at her.

"Would you stop sulking and have fun!" Tomoyo shouted in her ear, she grabbed her hands and lifted them over their heads. The music was so loud Sakura could hardly hear what Tomoyo shouted in her ear. Nakuru bumped her hip with Sakura's. Laughing Sakura moved her hips side to side in a belly dance manner. Tomoyo rolled her eyes playfully dancing with Nakuru.

o O o O o O o

Takashi got out of his chair and stood next to Yukito who was still standing by the window and looked at the girls. They saw Tomoyo and Nakuru dancing together and Sakura doing some belly dance moves off to the side of the other two. Tomoyo was laughing at something Nakuru did.

"Wish we were down there." Whispered Yukito. "I'm so bored!" Takashi chuckled at Yukito and nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, I know." Spoke Eriol, he crossed his arms over his chest. Eyeing his girlfriend from above.

Now Touya, Tamahoome and Tatsu sat with old man Seiya being bored stiff.

"At ten on the twenty-fourth of next month they'll be at the docks." They heard Mr. Morimoto speaking to Touya. Takashi looked back at the table and saw Tamahome and Tatsu sitting staring at Touya.

Oh man how much longer of this? Yukito thought seeing a girl he'd rather talk too instead of being in this meeting.

o O o O o O o

"So Syaoran, what's the plan man?" Kenji asked as they stopped in front of the Lotus. Syaoran stepped forward turning around to face his friends.

"Just make sure nothing goes wrong out here while I go in and place this damn microphone. I'll get in and out before Touya even notices." He smirked fingering the microphone.

Kenji, Shay and Hideki all nodded their heads as Syaoran made his way to the entrance to Lotus. Syaoran walked confidently through the club. Girls winked, blew kisses his way as he passed them. Whores. He thought completely ignoring them.

He had to find the room Adam and Mr. Morimoto was having their meeting at.

Syaoran Li was the most handsome man you could have bumped into. Or you could've hoped and prayed to bump into. He was tall, with dark brown hair that looked messy but delicious. His eyes the rare color of amber. His body matched that of a Greek God statue. Every girl who set eyes on him wanted him.

Syaoran stood next to the bar; his amber eyes scanned the club. He saw two large men dressed in black on the top floor and two on the ground he was on. He looked to the right and saw three more and four more on his left. Easy. He thought as he made his way up the staircase.

o O o O o O o

Sakura tapped her fingertips to the music as she waited for the waiter to return with her water bottle. She smiled thankfully at the waiter as he handed her the cold water. "Thank you!" She shouted taking the bottle and opening it. She drank a sip as she walked away from the bar. Looking around for a booth with a ceiling fan she found one on the to far right of the club. Moving in and out of people. All she had to do now was get passed the staircase and she was near the booth with the cool air.

She gulped some water down, as she got closer to the staircase. Closing her eyes for a second as she poured a little bit of the cold water on her face. The next moment she felt herself falling backwards, her water bottle falling to the ground. As she waited to feel the hard ground it never came, instead she felt strong arms around her waist. Holding her close to something firm and warm. She opened her eyes and came face to face with a handsome fellow.

His alluring glowing amber eyes locked her emerald ones. She weakly smiled up at him. And then as if she could be any luckier he spoke.

"Are you alright?" His voice was deep, masculine and divine. Her mind told her to speak but she was having trouble forming words. She nodded slowly as he stood straight still holding onto her waist. He cocked a brow and lean his head to the right.

"I'm fine." She said loud enough for him to hear her. Then she remembered something, her eyes looked around her as he let go of her. She didn't want him to let go of her. But she had to see if Kokuyo was on his way or one of the others. It must have been her lucky day because they didn't even see anything wrong. She doubted they were even paying attention, for once. She'd love nothing more than to rub that fact in Touya's face, but that also meant they'd be on her more fiercely after the beating Touya would ensue.

"Sorry about that I was in a hurry." He smiled at Sakura and her chest felt a flutter. His smile made him even more irresistible. Sakura started feeling giddy by his kind smile.

Syaoran looked at her from head to toe; she was beautiful no doubt. She was breathtakingly stunning. He could see himself doing things to her. He smirked at her, holding his hand out to her. He had to make this quick and get out of the club. "What's your name?"

Sakura tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, smiling shyly, she held out her hand to his.

"Sakura."

"Sakura, what a pleasure to meet you." He took her hand in his and kissed her hand softly. Looking into her emerald green eyes he saw her cheeks tinting a light pink. "I'm so sorry for almost running you over. But like I said before I'm, unfortunately, in a hurry. Please forgive me." He let go of her hand and nodded his head as he started to walk passed her. Sakura turned around not thinking clearly and called out to him.

"Wait!"

He stopped and turned around facing her with his charming self; she lost her thoughts again at his beauty.

"Yes?" He asked warmly, still smiling charmingly.

She didn't know how to do this flirting business thing Tomoyo was so great at! She smiled and took a deep breath. "You could make it up to me, by coming to my birthday party next Saturday."

He stood there in deep thought. Sakura wanted to kick herself in the head for asking him. She didn't know him and he didn't know her! What was she thinking? She looked away feeling embarrassed and foolish then back at him as he slowly walked towards her. Okay here it was she was waiting for him to laugh in her face, waiting for the "Thanks but, no thanks."

He waved a hand in her face getting her attention. She blinked out of her reverie, blushing for getting so lost in her thoughts. "I'd like to go to your party. Where and what time?"

An explosion of joy erupted within Sakura. Her smile was even brighter. "It's at the Rose Hall and it starts at seven. Oh and it's a masquerade ball."

He smirked at her. "Great, see you there." Then he turned and left. Sakura was shocked that he said yes. She didn't even care about the water or the booth anymore. She ran towards Tomoyo and Nakuru to tell them the great news. That she had a date for her party and a very, very handsome one at that.

o O o O o O o

Touya stood with Mr. Morimoto and the others. "Touya, I must say you are like your father! May he rest in peace." He solemnly shook Touya's hand then the others hands.

Mr. Morimoto left out the back way with two huge men on either side. As the guys started for the door they came in from.

"Man that took so damn long!" Yukoto whined, as did Takashi. Tatsu rolled his brown eyes at the two.

"You weren't even listening to what was being said you losers."

Yukito shrugged.

Takashi smirked.

"Let's just get the girls and go home." Touya said opening the door. He looked at the ground when he heard something fell and break. His eyes locked on the microphone. His eyes narrowed with rage. "Tamahome, call Kokuyo." He bent down and grabbed the microphone. Tamahome pulled out his cell phone and dialed. "Tell him get the girls home, now!"

Touya showed the guys what he found. "Holy Lord!" Eriol spoke first looking at the broken microphone in Touya's grasp. Tamahome finished telling Kokuyo to take the girls home and his light green eyes widened.

"Who the hell was taping us?" Takashi shouted. Touya threw the small microphone on the floor before smashing it under his foot.

"Let's go!" Touya ordered pulling out one of his guns from his holster. They all ran down the stairs one by one trying to pass all the dancing morons that were in the way.

o O o O o O o

"Where's Touya?" Sakura shouted at Kokuyo. He just picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. "Let me go!"

"Sorry, Princess can't do that. Orders from Touya were to take you girls home." He looked at his partner and nodded to the other two. He looked at Tomoyo and Nakuru who just followed them out the back way.

"Put me down Kokuyo! I want to help Touya!" She yelled loudly, kicking her legs.

"If you don't stop fighting against me I'm going to have to restrain you from moving at all!" He growled. Worry filled her body as memories of her parents' death flooded her mind. She didn't want to lose Touya too. He was all she had left of a family. Her eyes stung with unshed tears. He lied! He said it wasn't going to be dangerous! She yelled in her mind as she closed her eyes. Kokuyo placed her in the backseat with Tomoyo and Nakuru. Getting in the drivers side, they soon sped off for home.

Sakura burst through the front door of the manisont; Kokuyo winced as they made their way to the living area to wait for Touya and the others to return. Tomoyo sat next to Nakuru; she could tell that Tomoyo was worried by the look on her face. Eriol was a high-ranking Wolf member but she still worried about him after all she loved him more then anything else.

On the other hand Nakuru was calm. She knew Touya would return safely with the rest of the guys. Her eyes looked to Sakura's back, sighing she stood up and walked over to her boyfriend's sister. Hugging her from behind she whispered softly in her ear,

"Don't worry, Toua is a great fighter. You know that," Sakura turned in her arms and hugged Nakuru, closing her eyes. "He'll be back soon, you'll see."

Sakura nodded her head, hoping that her brother would be okay.


PinkSakura-Chan: Omg, Syaoran! Gaaah! I decided to update a little sooner then planned (smiles) I'd like to thank everyone for reviewing! YAY! Thanks everyone! You truly make my day.
