Chapter 9: The Streets.
It was December 27th. The Streets took place in two weeks. Syaoran said he would be here before Christmas. He promised. I knew he would make, he never broke a promise to me before. I just hoped he came sooner then expected. I got the text this morning. I was prepared. My whole crew was ready for this fight. Because this was going to be our very last Streets Event. After this fight, I was quitting.
I've been in the gang business long enough. Now it's time to quit and leave it behind. Make it the past. Make it history. Tomoyo, Eriol, Takeshi, Meilin, and Jacob told me they would go. They weren't going to miss me fight for the world. The Streets would take place tonight at midnight. Of course the fighters had to go there and hour early to know who they would be fighting.
Tomoyo and Meilin were picking out my outfit for tonight. I sighed as I looked at it. Well at least this one I could actually wear tonight. I was a pair of slightly baggy black jean hip huggers, a tight blood red tank top, and my black and blue Etnies. I would have a lot of free movement and I wouldn't be constricted.
That was perfect. Eriol and Jacob kept trying to reach Syaoran to see when he would be here. From what I can tell they can't reach him. Oh well. I looked at my clock, nine. Still have time to kill. I picked up my cell as it started to ring.
" Hello?" I answered.
" Sakura, it's your father," my dad replied.
" What's up dad?"
" I was in a car accident with Kyle and Elena. I'm fine, only a broken arm. Elena and Kyle however are still in surgery. I just wanted to let you know, we won't be able to make it to your house for a little family reunion," he told me.
" No, no, no. It's fine dad. You need to stay with your wife and baby. No worries," I told him. With that he hung up. I sighed. My little brother was in surgery. That was bad. Very bad. My phone rang again and I looked at who was calling my now. It was unknown.
" Hello?" I answered.
" Sakura, it's so good to hear your voice. I can't wait to see you at the streets," the voice told me. My blood ran cold. It was Kalo. Just perfect. This was all I needed.
" What do you want?" I snarled. Meilin and Tomoyo instantly froze upon hearing my voice so cold and hateful.
" Why to tell you that I will win this time. I'm not going to lose to you." with that he hung up. Great. Just great. Can my night get any better? Eriol came up stairs.
" You three ready?" he asked. Tomoyo walked up to him and kissed him lightly.
" Yep we are. Let's go girls!" Tomoyo was way to excited. And so was Meilin. Eriol laughed at his girlfriend while Jake just sighed at his.
We made it to the warehouse with five minutes to spare. Zero was glaring at all the boys who looked at me. Touya kept his arm around Kaho's waist. Takeshi wouldn't let Chiharu out of his sight. Rika and Naoko were clued to Terada and Mika's side. Yep, this sure was going to be fun. We made our way in and got ready. The first one to fight would be Chiharu. She was pumped for this fight.
" I'm gonna knock that jerk out cold!" she exclaimed. She was up against Shin. After her it would be Takeshi against a member of Shin's gang. Only two fighters from each gang were allowed to fight. Naoko and Mika would be against Danny and a member from his gang. Rika and Terada were against two members of a new gang. Zero and Kaho were against two members from a rival gang. The last to fight would be me. I was against Kalo and a member from his gang.
This was going to be enjoyable for all of us. Chiharu and Takeshi beat both members no problem. It lasted at most five minutes. Naoko and Mika took about seven minutes. Rika and Terada took about three minutes. Zero and Kaho lasted about a minute. Seriously, we were the strongest gang in Osaka. We will not lose this last fight.
Now it was my turn to fight. The first one was a member of Kalo's crew. He was easy. I knocked him out in five seconds. Kalo proved a little tougher. For every punch and kick I threw at him, he blocked and threw them right back. So it looked like I would have to bump it up a notch. This fight lasted fifteen minutes. With the final kick I threw, I won.
" Oh Yeah Kura Is Still Queen Of The STREETS!!!! EVERYONE LET'S HEAR IT FOR KURA!!!" the DJ shouted. After him the whole place erupted. I laughed at that and we all left. We made it to our cars and I got ready to leave. I felt my pockets for my keys. After five minutes I couldn't find them.
" What the heck! I know I had them when I went in the arena. I told Tomoyo to hold them…" I was thinking of what could have happened to them when I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. I thought it was one of the officials telling me I had to hurry up and leave.
I turned around ready to answer that I couldn't find my keys when I saw them being held in front of me. I looked at the arm and followed it to the shoulder, then the neck, and landed on the face.
"SYAORAN!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed. He chuckled. He handed me my keys
" Nice fight. I didn't know you could," he whispered. I shrugged.
" There's a lot you don't know," I replied.
" Well I'm all ears," he told me. I laughed. I told him everything. Why I acted the way I did, why I kept lying to them, and just everything. It felt good to get that off my chest.
**********************School*******************************************
Everything was going good. Kalo, Shin, and Danny left me alone when a rumor, spread by none other then Tomoyo and Meilin, said I was Syaoran's girl. I just couldn't help but laugh at that. My family sure was crazy. Even to me. Eriol finally got the guts to propose to Tomoyo at junior prom. Meilin and Tomoyo couldn't stop squealing all night. I thought it was funny. The boys, not so was finally coming around and started to like Syaoran more and more when ever Tomoyo, Meilin, or Eriol would tell him how Syaoran wouldn't let anyone touch me. Of course he never knew that Syaoran did touch me.
On my eighteenth birthday Tomoyo was throwing me a party. My presents included a new pair of black baggy hip huggers from Meilin, a tight emerald green shirt that ended a few inches above my naval from Tomoyo, a necklace with a cherry blossom on it from my mom, a new bike from Touya and Kaho, a black leather mini skirt from Chiharu, Rika, and Naoko, a new practice arena from Eriol, Jake, Terada, Takeshi, Mika, and Zero, and last but not least, Syaoran asked me to be his girlfriend. Of course that gave Touya a heart attack. Along with Yukito. But hey what can I say. Along with that, he gave me his rolex watch. I was speechless, but the girls however, are never speechless. They were jumping up and down for joy and screaming on the top of their lungs.
One Year Later
**********************************************************************
Syaoran and I moved into an apartment after graduation. That very same day he proposed to me and got plenty of threats. I don't think that scared him though. Life was good. I didn't have to fight anymore and we were in college. We would be getting married afterwards so everything was good.
******************************The End**********************************
A/N: Well, personally, I think the end was a little rushed. Oh well. I hope you all enjoyed it and review to let me know what you think.
