Getting Ready for the Mission
Ch. 7:
Sakura faked a cough. "Amethyst. We need our outfits for our mission."
"Right. Gomen." Tomoyo turned around and went into another room.
"Your friend?"
"What's it to you?"
Syaoran shrugged. "Nothing."
Tomoyo came out of the room and went to her desk.
Sakura walked up to the desk with Syaoran behind her.
Tomoyo pulled out two folders. "Here. You'll need these."
Sakura and Syaoran each took one.
"In those folders is information about your target. Cherry, if you look towards the back of your folder, you'll find information about your position."
Sakura nodded. She opened the folder and flipped to the back.
"If you follow me, I'll give you your outfits and then send you off to the weapons quarter." Tomoyo turned around and walked to a sliding door. She put her hand down on the scanner.
"Access Granted."
Tomoyo put her hand on the door handle.
Sakura walked up to Tomoyo with Syaoran behind her.
Tomoyo opened the door.
Two black bags automatically appeared in front of the door.
Tomoyo took the bags and closed the door. She held out Sakura's hers and Syaoran's his. "Here."
Sakura and Syaoran took theirs. Sakura opened hers and dropped her folder. Her eyes bugged out. "NANI!"
"Cherry! Please. I know it's a little extreme, demo--"
"EXTREME! That freakin' baka hentai! I am NOT wearing THIS!" Sakura threw the unzipped black bag to the floor.
Tomoyo picked it up. She narrowed her eyes. "You'll wear this for your mission."
Sakura gulped and nodded. "H-Hai."
Tomoyo nodded and smiled. "Good." She picked up a Sakura's folder and handed it to her. "Here."
Sakura took the folder. "A-Arigatou. Come on Agent Li." Sakura turned around and walked when she felt a hand on her shoulder. "HOOE!" Sakura closed her eyes and grabbed the hand that was one her shoulder. She flipped the person over.
"Itai. What did you do that for?"
Sakura opened her eyes. "Oops. Gomen-nasai."
"Whatever."
Sakura glared. She turned and left. Sakura went to the gym instead of the weapons quarter.
"Konnichiwa, Black Blossom."
Sakura turned and saw her friend Midnight Crescent Moon. "Oi, Midnight."
"What happened now?"
Sakura raised an eyebrow. "You're just like Amethyst you know. Butting into my business."
Midnight smiled. Her baby pink eyes sparkled. "It's in the package of knowing you."
Sakura giggled. "Yay for me." She said sarcastically.
Midnight bowed. "Gomen. I have to cut our conversation short."
Sakura nodded and sighed as Midnight left. 'Always too busy.' Sakura turned back around and headed to the gym when a tight grip got her.
The person turned her around.
Sakura was face-to-face with Syaoran. She could feel his moist breath make contact with her skin. She shivered at the feeling.
"Why did you run off like that?"
Sakura realized her was still holding her hand. She tried to jerk it away, but he held on tighter. "Let. Me. Go." Sakura replied flatly.
"Or what?"
Sakura sighed. She didn't feel like arguing. "What do you want?"
Syaoran raised an eyebrow. "What makes you think I want anything?"
Sakura really didn't want to argue or fight.
Sakura's POV:
If he doesn't want anything, then why is he bothering me? I can't believe he's my partner. Partner? Part-ner? The MISSION! I'm such a baka!
Regular POV:
Sakura smacked herself on her forehead with her other hand. Instead of letting go of Syaoran's hand she held it in hers and lead him to the weapons quarter.
Syaoran's POV:
Why the heck did she smack herself? Just need to play it cool.
Regular POV:
Syaoran blushed when he realized Sakura was holding his hand.
"Gomen. I forgot all about our mission."
Syaoran nodded. "Hai. Hai."
Sakura stopped in front of iron gates. "Here we are."
Syaoran looked at how high the gates went. 'About seven and half feet tall.'
"LI!"
Syaoran jumped at the sound of his last name. He looked up and saw Sakura ahead of him.
"Aren't you coming?"
Syaoran nodded. He stepped through the gates and onto the moving floor.
"The maker of our really good weapons is none other than Midnight's brother."
Syaoran raised an eyebrow.
Sakura sighed. "Gomen. Forgot you were new."
Syaoran rolled his eyes.
"Anyway, Midnight, short for Midnight Crescent Moon, is our specialist at night jobs. Her specialty comes at Midnight on a crescent moon. You see why we call her that? We don't call anyone by their real names, unless we're sure we're in private and no one can hear us."
Syaoran nodded letting the information sink in. 'This is going to be way too easy.'
"Like I was saying before, Midnight's brother creates and designs our weapons. He works with Amethyst to make sure the weapons will go with the outfit for the missions."
"Matte. Why is Amethyst called 'Amethyst Designer' if she has nothing to do with anything amethyst."
Sakura giggled. "We receive our agent names based upon our real personally traits."
Syaoran's POV:
Why does she have to be so kawaii. Her laugh is to die for. Matte! Syaoran get a hold of yourself. You can't get involved in your target.
Regular POV:
"Right. I understand."
Sakura smiled at him. "Good. Come on, we're here." Sakura got off the moving floor and walked ahead.
Syaoran followed after her.
Sakura walked down the hall and turned right. She opened a door and went down the steps following them downward.
"His office is way down here?"
Sakura nodded. She stopped when she came to a door guarded by two highly trained men.
"Move aside boys." Sakura stood in front of them with her arms crossed.
"Why would a pretty lady like you want to be in a dangerous place like this?"
Sakura held her breath. She couldn't stand these guards. Always the same thing.
The other guard came closer to Sakura. He wrapped an arm around her waist letting his hand fall and land on her butt.
Sakura couldn't take it anymore. "HENTAI!" She grabbed his arm and flipped him over.
"Why you have to be like that baby?" The other guard came closer and smacked her bottom. "That's ENOUGH!" Sakura punched the guard and flipped him over. She took the guard she flipped over first and punched him in the gut. She took turns with each guy. She kicked them and punched them. "This. Will, Teach. You." She slammed both heads into the concrete.
The door behind Sakura opened. "What did they do this time?"
Sakura stopped her pounding and turned around. "Hehehehe." Sakura got off the floor and dusted herself. She pointed a finger at the men. "They started it!"
A boy came out of the doorway.
Sakura bowed. "Gomen-nasai for disturbing you."
"Iie. It's alright."
"We're here for our mission."
The boy nodded. "Hai. Hai. Come."
Sakura nodded at Syaoran, meaning for him to follow, and walked through the door.
"How did it happen this time?"
Sakura shrugged. "Like I ever remember. Probably the same reason the others started."
The boy nodded. He leaned over to Sakura and whispered, "Who's the boy?"
Sakura stopped walking. she blinked a couple of times and then she looked back at Syaoran. She blinked a couple more times still staring at him.
Syaoran looked at Sakura. "Nani?"
Sakura blushed. She turned and caught up with Midnight's brother. "Word hasn't gotten to these parts?"
"And what word may you be speaking of fair lady?"
Sakura smiled and then frowned. "I have a new partner."
The boy stopped. "Nani? Really? What about you and Am--"
Sakura shook her head. "Yue didn't tell me. He just said I needed a new partner."
"I have heard other news, though."
Sakura froze in her spot. She forced a smile on her face. "R-Really? W-What was it?"
"Where's the pouch?" Midnight's brother turned around.
Sakura stared wide-eye at him. "Ano. . "
The boy's black eyes narrowed. "After all, you did say you would talk to me about it."
Sakura gulped. "I. . .I'm not in a talking mood right now."
The boy smirked. "Fine then. You listen."
Sakura nodded.
"Good, cause we're here." A smile crept on his face.
Syaoran walked up to the other two noticing that they stopped.
"Follow me and I'll give you your weapons."
Syaoran and Sakura walked side-by-side behind Midnight's brother.
The boy opened the last door and squinted at the light.
Sakura and Syaoran stepped through the door as well. They followed the boy into another room.
"Clow?"
"Ahh. I thought you weren't in a talking mood milady."
Sakura glared at him. "Clow Reed! Hurry up. We have a mission to do!"
Clow swept away a few strands of golden locks that fell in front of his face. "Alright. Alright."
Sakura smiled.
Clow moved to that table at the center of the room. He snapped his fingers.
The walls were replaced by glass shelves with all kinds of weapons on top. On the table a set of arranged weapons.
Clow removed one of the weapons. It looked like you any day ordinary bobby pin.
Syaoran raised an eyebrow.
"A bobby pin? What does it do Clow?"
"It explodes."
"That's all? Wow."
"It's very fashionable. Amethyst said it would go with your outfit."
Sakura curled her hands into fists. "Hurry up and finish talking about the damn weapons!"
Clow turned to Syaoran. "What's with her?" He whispered.
Syaoran whispered back, "You haven't heard? She through a commotion about the disguise she had to wear."
Clow nodded. "I see."
"I can hear you guys! I'm right here!"
"Right. Moving on." Clow lifted up a ball.
"A ball?"
Clow sighed. "A gum ball. Every time you blow a bubble and it pops it releases get away smoke."
"Really? Cool!"
"Here you have one of my regular guns." Clow pointed to a pink gun and a light green gun. "This is a decoder."
Sakura stared in amazement. "Kawaii." She whispered.
"All you have to do is point it towards the object you need to decode and it brings you the steps you need."
Sakura nodded.
Clow explained various other weapons.
"That everything Clow?"
Clow nodded. "Hai. Good luck one the mission."
"I hope we get it through with soon!"
