Chapter 1: The Tip

Last Issue:

"And then the whole boat exploded out of the water like BAM!" Tomoyo screamed. She had just finish reenacting their adventure to Eriol. He had been shocked to find them chatting animatedly when they got back. He was pretty pissed they'd been out having a great time while he had been worried sick.

"Sounds like he recklessly made an unnecessary scene to show off for you guys." Eriol grumbled. He wanted to bring this guy down a peg. The way Tomoyo described him he was a god who came to earth to walk amongst the mortals. Even Toya seemed to be taken with Syaoran. "I still don't trust him."

The Rebel

Chapter 4: Senator Involved in Huge Drug Chain.

Eriol finally had something to print that night and again was up well past 3 typing. This time he put his pajamas on before starting. Tomoyo and Toya came over in the morning and picked up the papers just like always. Everything seemed to be back to normal until they opened the shop and Syaoran swaggered in.

This time Eriol knew exactly who he was and was watching closely as he approached Sakura at the counter. He spied from behind shelf of books. Eriol could see one thing for sure: Syaoran was cool. The way he walked and spoke and even his awesome white gloves exuded coolness. Eriol didn't trust the guy at all.

"You're looking more lovely then ever, Noriko." Syaoran said grasping her hand in both of his. Sakura felt him press a note into her palm. Eriol's face boiled with hatred.

"Thank you sir but I happen to be married." Sakura said giving Syaoran a saucy look. Eriol blushed and knocked over the book he was hiding behind. Cursing is klutziness went back to restocking, feeling like a huge dork. Sakura and Syaoran pretended to ignore Eriol.

"That's too bad." Syaoran said as he winked and dropped her hand. He turned to leave and a woman visibly swooned as Syaoran passed her and left the store.

(Cvcccccccccccccccccccvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv my puppy typed that :D she's on my lap)

Later that evening Toya and Tomoyo showed up carrying bags of clothing.

"What's that?" Sakura asked suspiciously. "Not another tiny outfit you're trying to squeeze me into I hope!"

"These are the uniforms Syaoran asked me to make!" Tomoyo replied.

"When did you talk to Syaoran?" Eriol asked.

"Um…well I gave him my number." Tomoyo was visibly flustered. "Incase he needed or help with a mission." She added lamely.

What was with this guy, Eriol wondered.

"I could pull off leather gloves in the summer, couldn't I?" He asked Toya.

Sakura, Tomoyo, and Toya cracked up.

"Did you shorten the skirt on these uniforms?" Sakura complained tugging at her skirt as the walked down the hall of the state house. They were disguised as secret service agents. Syaoran said to meet him here but hadn't mentioned what it was about. Sakura was pretty worried because she was sure she wouldn't be able to fight well in this outfit and there was a non magic seal around the building.

"Oh there you are." Syaoran said walking towards them briskly. "Right this way, officers."

As they walked down the hall Syaoran handed them all ear pieces that they promptly put on.

"Wait here and don't let anyone in, or out." He added in an undertone.

They were stationed outside of big oak doors with a plaque on them that read: Senator Reed. The three glanced at each other nervously. Just then they heard Syaoran's voice through their ear pieces.

"Good evening Senator." Syaoran said positioning himself next to the senator's door.

"Evening." Senator Reed replied barely looking up from the paper he was holding.

"So you like to go boating." Syaoran said nodding at the picture on the senator's desk. It was him and his wife behind the wheel of a boat.

"What? Oh yes. That used to be my boat." Reed replied looking up briefly.

"It looks sort of lime the boat on the cover of that Rebel paper." Syaoran said. The Senator shot him a dark look

"Aren't you service men trained not to ask so many questions." The senator replied coldly returning to his papers.

"I'm sorry sir. I'm just saying those bastard rebels have been causing us a whole lot of trouble lately! They seem to have recruited a couple of Chi-sen."

"I've heard that." The Senator grumbled.

"Well I would just put one of these boys in their backs before they could try any of that magic mojo on me!" Syaoran said taking out a sharp metal throwing dagger. He had caught the Senators attention again.

"You're pretty good with that thing?" The senator asked.

"Oh yes sir." Syaoran said giving the Senator a loyal smile. "I never miss." He said throwing the dagger at a pillow on the senators couch on the other side of the office. The dagger hit straight in the middle of the button in the middle of the pillow.

"Ha, ha" the senator laughed hardily clapping Syaoran on the back. "What a trick! Son, I could use more men like you." He said going to retrieve the pillow and inspect it closer.

"How would you like some extra work on the side with double pay" The Senator asked smiling as he handed Syaoran back his dagger.

"That would be wonderful, sir."

"You see, that was my boat those rebel scumbags sank. Now I can't afford for that to happen again, but you may actually be able to stop those freaks."

Syaoran smiled. It had been even easier then he'd thought to get a confession. "That's all I needed." He said turning to leave."

"Wait what?" Reed asked, confused.

Syaoran took the tape recorder out of his jacket pocket and sneered. "I'll send you a copy." Syaoran said pushing the oak doors open.

The senator swore and pushed the red button under his desk "Security!" He yelled.

"I think we are going to have some company." (oh action movie clichés) Syaoran said as the started to run for the exit. Sure enough the were cut of before they could escape. Although Sakura was a little rusty in hand to hand combat, she was a trained fighter. Sakura was very athletic and could easily take on these guards. She quickly ripped a slit up the side of her skirt for less restriction. She kicked a guard in the stomach, and he fell backwards knocking over another man in the process. Tomoyo and Toya easily took out the other two men. They could here men running down the corridors towards them.

"This way" Syaoran shouted opening an emergency exit that lead into an alleyway.

"Why did you have to blow your cover like that?" Sakura asked after all four of them had run far enough away that they felt comfortable stopping. They were all breathing heavily.

"I wanted to see how you fought without your magic." Syaoran said.

"WHAT?" Sakura yelled angrily "Are you serious? You have to stop pulling that crap!"

"You were never in any real danger."

"But how can we trust you if you are willing to compromise the mission for your games?" Syaoran looked slightly taken aback. For all his smooth talking and manipulation skills he still somehow managed to mess up with her.

"Listen, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to go behind your back or anything."

"Just let us in on the plan from now on. I don't just blindly take orders from anyone! I could just join the military if I wanted to deal with that shit." Sakura didn't like the idea that Syaoran felt like he could tell her what to do.

"Alright," Syaoran replied earnestly. "From now on I'll let you in on everything that's going on. I really didn't mean to undermine you or anything ..."

"If it still means anything you surprised me in there. Most Chi-sen rely on their magic to much." He added.

Sakura felt a little bit better after that. She thought maybe she had over reacted a little, but she felt strongly about this.

"You did pretty well yourself getting the Senator to confess like that. This is going to be one of the biggest stories we've ever printed!" Sakura said after a few minutes of tense silence. Syaoran smiled taking this as a verbal truce.

"Here is the tape by the way." He said taking the tape out of the recorder.

"Thanks." Sakura took the tape. She was still a little confused about how she felt about Syaoran. He was obviously very strong, intelligent, resourceful and an amazing asset, but they didn't know anything about him. Sakura was still not convinced they could trust him until they knew more.

Thanks for reading. So that episode had a lot of corny spy movie clichés I know :#. I am trying to get the plot of this story written down, but I am really not much of a writer.

Anything that seems unclear to you that you think needs to be better explained or elaborated on... please tell me. Some things I meant to be vague like peoples pasts and wtf are painters . Anyway I'd love to hear suggestions
