Sakura's eyes
desperately dashed from side to side, her breath coming out in a
panic.
A slight rustle in the
bushes near her.
Her eyes widened,
realizing not who, but what it was in the bushes, "No!" She cried
out desperately, raising her hands to defend herself.
The shape blasted
through the bushes, and hit her square in the chest, making her fall
head over heels into the soft grass of the park.
"Gotcha!" a squeaky
voice emanated from the ground.
"Aww!" Sakura
whined playfully, scrambling to her knees, and picking up the "Thing"
that had blasted from the bushes. "You got me, Mizu-chan!"
The small turtle let
out a playful purr, "Quite!"(A/N: Did a turtle just
freaking purr?..Damn dude, I am having one bad acid trip.)
Syaoran sighed; he had been listening to Sakura and Mizukami playing tag for quite awhile now, while he sat on a bench, resting. "Immature."
Mizukami's head cocked to Syaoran, "Want to play, and Syaoi?"
"Play tag? Dont
flatter yourself." Syaoran mumbled, his enchanted blue eyes
glistening in the afternoon sun.
"Its fun, though,
Li-kun!" Sakura said smiling, turning to face the turtle, "Right?"
"Right!" Mizukami
said, raising a flipper in approval.
Syaoran shook his head, "So immature.."

Cries pierced through the early morning, the serenity of the landscape hid the terror and bloodshed, which reined supreme in a castle-like mansion nearby.
"Get her, Damnit! Don't let her leave the comple-GYAAH!" The mans yell was cut off, a loud whish of air was heard, and the man fell, his waist had been split, leaving the man to fall in two pieces.
A girl with blood
stained in her hair stood, her hands together in a battle stance.
Nearby her, a large
snake with wings appeared to lay limp and motionless, taken by
exhaustion, he was resting.
Four new men had arose to the girl, her recent kill lay splattered on the ground, his arms flailing for help, which would not come.
She shifted in her
stance, and shot an arm forward, a large pillar of air came shooting
from it strongly and quickly, it collided with two of the men,
bone-breaking cracks filled the air as they both fell limp onto the
ground.
"Im not done with
you, yet!" She cried, using her left foot for support, she jumped a
few feet, once again shifting into a new stance, both of her arms
shot out, a large, thin gust of air, shot forward like a blade,
moving quickly into the side of one of the men, and went right
through it. The speed and the thickness of the air that had blasted
through the man worked together like a sharp sword.
Blood sprayed from the mans wound, and he fell, both of his hands clamping down unto it as he yelled in pain.
A new blood stain accumulated on her face as she lowered her arms, ignoring the other
man.
Clapping her two hands
together, she began an incantation.
Just as she began, more
men rushed into the room where she and her companion were cornered.
"Get her, god Damnit!" They shouted, charging.
But, as she finished
her incantation, a powerful gust of air, almost like a tornado,
swished around her and the snake, the air grew stronger and stronger,
the men struggling to keep from blowing away.
With a loud hiss, she
and the snake were gone.
One of the men cursed
loudly, beginning to sprint towards the door, "Alarm the king and
the queen, Noble Mei-ling has escaped!"
The men all began to
leave the horrid room; its once elegant wall decorations were now
tainted with blood.
--
Wind ripped through her
hair, sprinkles of blood fading from her clothing.
A large snake swam
along the currents of the air along with her.
It eyed her curiously,
opening its large, fanged mouth to speak.
"Teleportation? Quick thinking..but you most likely used up all of your Chi.
The girl refrained from answering, tears stung at her eyes.
"Mei?.." The snake said, eyeing the girl cautiously.
"...Syaoran..didnt
betray them, did he?" Mei-ling said, holding back tears.
The snake shook his
head, "It appears there's something more then Syaoran betraying
the them...Either way, its most likely they will send more assassins
for Syaoran and for us...It appears the king and queen are taking
matters into their own hands.""But...Why..Why us?"
Mei-ling cried.
"We were sent to
assassinate Syaoran, and failed. Its most likely we're looked upon
as failures, and unnecessary threats to whatever they were planning
to do." The snake concluded, "Either way, our best bets for
escape would be either North America or Africa. You can pick."
Mei-ling, with a quick
movement of her hands, shifted the movement of the two, and they
began to blast down on a large island.
The snake struggled to
make out what it was through the clouds. "What on earth are
you..." He froze, "Mei-ling, its foolish to hide there!"
Mei-ling's eyes
stayed set on the island, the wind ripping by the duo faster then
ever, her eyes burned with determination.
"We're going to Japan to find Syaoran."
--
A deep sneeze ruined the peace and quiet in the park.
Sakura looked up, her
game with Mizu paused, "Li-kun?"
Syaoran rubbed his
noise, "What?"
"Ah! That reminds me
of that Japanese superstition!" Mizukami squealed.
"Eee! You mean the
one that if you sneeze, someone is talking about you behind your
back?" Sakura pondered aloud, giggling.
Mizu's smile suddenly
faded, and his small head snapped to the sky, "Something's
coming."
Syaoran tensed, "From
where?"
Mizu's eyes scanned
the sky, and finally two beings broke through the clouds, moving
quickly towards where they stood.
"Syaoran, activate
your Eyes!" Mizu hissed, staring at the sky.
Syaoran hastily obeyed, putting his two index fingers to his face, his eyes turned a dark shade of blue, and he quickly scanned up.
Through the immense
vibrations his eyes were picking up in the sky, he was able to make
out the forms of a person and a large noodle.
"A noodle and a
person?" Syaoran squinted, "The hell?"
Mizu looked at disbelief at Syaoran, "Its Mei-ling and Kamikaze, You Idiot."
The two figures in the sky began to close in, they were aiming for where Sakura and Mizu were playing.
Mizu snapped, "Mei-Mei,
lets go!" He lunged onto her shoulder, and she began to move
towards Syaoran.
Syaoran hesitantly took
her hand, and they moved from their current location as the two
plunged into the ground, dirt and grass kicking up into the air.
--
"They've Escaped." A woman said in a cold tone, her eyes trailing to a bloody pile of men, "They let her escape...Fools payed with their lives."
"Two assassins have
failed, and have most likely met up with our enemy.." The man
spoke, reaching for a small cup of tea.
"We still have one
more assassin we can send...It would be..Messy, However." The woman
said, resting her head on her hand.
"It will be messy if the boy contacts Japanese officials, as well." The man retorted.
"Fine." The woman
growled, her hand motioning to a shaking Messenger that had been
standing in the corner, he ran over to her.
He stood shaking,
"Y..Yes Ma'am?" He stammered in fear.
"Fetch us..." The
woman began.
"Eriol Hiiragizawa, Descendent of the flame."

Definition of terms: Mei-Mei: Chinese for "Little Sister" or "Sister", depending on how you mean it, i thought it would be nice for Mizukami to call Sakura that, like Sakura calls Mizukami Mizu, oppose to Mizukami or "Stupid turtle", as Syaoran loves to call him.
Noble: A term to refer to an official of a political establishment..or..lets say...You had your own kingdom, and your best friend handled some of the kingdoms important items, such as trade and foreign establishments...Your friend would be a Noble.
