Chapter 1

Disclaimer: i do not own CCS Clamp does:

It was a hazy and murky evening in Tomoeda, it had just turned nine in the evening and all seemed quiet to Sakura Kinomoto. She was an open eighteen year old, who for the most part of her life had been quite big in size.

On this particular day, she had just finished helping her friend move into their new house and was running late because of this she decided to take a shortcut home through an alleyway which led to a dangerous part of town.

"it's fine," Sakura tells herself quietly, as she turns her music up in her headphones and starts to walk quickly to reach the car park that leads to a main street.

However not many people use this short cut because of the high crime rate reports about it. Sakura at this point though was very late home, so she had no choice.

Carpark...9:30

"ERIOL, WATCH OUT." A man with amber eyes called out to his friend, as a hand bomb was thrown in his direction.

"FUCK" The other guy exclaimed hurriedly, as he dodges the incoming object quickly.

The wolves' one of the most feared gangs in Hong Kong were squaring up against their all time rivals the Tigers.

It was dark almost pitch black when the Tigers surprise attack took place on the wolves, everyone was on their way home from a club when it happened.

After about ten minutes of fighting, the carpark and the streets near it was completely cleared of every car and person not in the fight mostly due to the huge amount of gunshots and explosions taking place.

However one girl did not notice the warning signs telling her not to venture in the car park until it was too late and she could not turn back...

Fear and shock washed over her along with an uncontrollable urge to run. as she watched what was happening in front of her. The sight was disgusting, people in her vision were actually slaughtering each other carelessly before her eyes.

To say the girl was just scared at that point wasn't even possible. She was paralysed with uncontrollable fear, these people defiantly had no regard for a human life to commit such a thing as murder.

"Shit, hay you get out of the way" Syaoran bellows at Sakura as he spots her about to get shot.

Then realisation hit him, the person he was talking to couldn't hear him. So at this point he had no choice but to jump on her instinctively. This sends them both to the floor, luckily in time for them to avoid the incoming bullet.

Syaoran growls angrily in his throat, as he gets up off her hurriedly and pulls her along with him to his nearby parked bike. He forces Sakura behind it roughly, to protect her from the still flying shots that could be heard around them.

Sakura ducks down further on the ground as the bike they were seeking refuge behind starts to get shot a lot, causing it to shake uneasily and the owner of it to curse under his breath.

As she feels the bike vibrate behind her back Sakura screams, making Syaoran wince in pain as he covers his ears angrily. The sudden sound that was coming from her made his skin crawl, gunshots he could handle but this woman's scream was deafening.

"Shut the fuck up." he bellows at her before continuing "And now is not the time for music dummy" he tells her after noticing she still had a earphone in her left ear before ripping it out. This caused Sakura to look at him irritated. Then surprising Sakura even more he discards them over his bike frustrated.

"Don't look at me like that! I just saved your life and you were killing me with that scream of yours, so do me a favour and put a sock in it until I figure out how to get us both out of this situation." He pleads with her, fed up as he crouches down next to her, while producing a mobile phone from his back pocket.

'Put a sock in it, is he basically telling me to shut up? why you' Sakura thought, looking at Syaoran bitterly. She uses this opportunity to take a good look at him. She concluded that although he had just told her to shut up, she had never seen such a good looking man in her whole eighteen years.

He wore a black leather jacket with a green sweat top, It did not hide the fact his abs were popping out of it. She could see them grow more apparent as he sat next to her breathless. His trousers were plain black and were finished off with a heavy boot on each side. Sakura looked dumbly at them for a moment, before assuming that he was wearing them for protection. Syaoran's voice knocked Sakura back to reality.

"I don't know Eriol, she just appeared." Syaoran tells him as he grows more frustrated.

"Hang on a minute, I need to ask her something. Hey how much do you weigh?" He asks her without thinking, earning himself a gasp and a slap from Sakura.

Syaoran was dumb flustered at her action, his spare hand unconsciously come up to the spot that Sakura had just slapped to brush it lightly to remove the sting.

"What the hell is the matter with you? Never mind my bike will just have to deal with it. Come on!" He violently orders her, grabbing her waist pulling her off of the ground strongly before backing her onto the back of his bike. He puts his helmet on her quickly before getting on the front and speeding off hoping his bike would carry the two of them home.

...Outside The wolf's Mansion.. 10:00PM

"Get me off this contraption right now" Sakura yells out starting to wiggle at the back of Syaoran, making him lose control of his bike slightly.

"Wo Wo, do you want us both to die, Sit still until I pull over." Syaoran tells her through grinned teeth annoyed, as he came into his house's driveway.

Seconds later the bike stopped and Syaoran turned to scold Sakura but stopped when he saw her eagerly jump off the back of the bike and step away from it nervously.

Syaoran who was now secretly smiling at Sakura's reaction, put the stand up on his bike before getting off of it easily. He then turned to Sakura to ask for his helmet, except she was no longer beside him.

Syaoran's eyes darted around rapidly until he spotted her retreating figure, heading towards the front gate quickly.

"Umm, Yo aren't you forgetting something." Syaoran calls out to her, gesturing towards her head, smirking smugly at her forgetfulness.

"Darn it" Sakura says out loud as she looks up slightly at the helmet. ' guess I have no choice' she thought, heading back to Syaoran in a huff.

'How do i get this thing off?' She grimaced, pulling on the helmet briskly trying to remove it forcefully to give it back. It would not budge for her. "Ahhh great now I'm stuck in this thing." She huffs out nearing Syaoran with a frown, causing him to laugh at her efforts mockingly before offering his help to her.

Bringing her to him with a hand around her waist, he uses his free hand to reach up to her chin to grab the helmet clip knowingly. He then takes it off of Sakura's head, placing it down on his bike seat safely.

When he turned to look at her again, she bowed her head in thanks to him, then turned to leave. Syaoran however could not let her just go now she had seen everything, he just had to stop her. So quickly he grabbed out for her hand, speaking firmly."Sorry but you can't just leave. It is a rule, once you have seen us fight there is no going back."

'No going back...' Sakura says his words back to herself in her mind. Fear, nervousness and panic wash over her causing her eyes to widen and her breath to catch. Roughly she pulls her hand from his grip and backs away from him in terror before turning and trying to run away scared.

"Guys, contain her." Syaoran orders out strongly, making several men appear at that moment to swiftly contain Sakura and her kicks and screams of protests to leave. Then they took her into the house and placed her in an empty room, which she would stay locked up until a decision was made on what would happen to her.

Next morning 8:00am

Syaoran was sitting calmly in his lounge, waiting to be summoned by the Elders. Even though he was the leader of the wolf gang the Elders were the people who made the final decision about everyone outside the gang.

So to kill time until they were ready to see him, Syaoran was talking to Eriol about what happened with sakura.

"Then she slaps me." Syaoran tells Eriol angrily, getting to the end of the story.

"Well I don't blame her, to be honest I still can not believe you asked her how much she weighed! That is just something you do not ask a lady." Eriol tells him shrugging.

"Well I just had my suspension redone on my bike yesterday, and it looked like she weighed a lot, at a guess about eighteen stone!" Syaoran barks out, making Eriol just smile at his answer hopelessly.

"Yea but mate, your suspension was probably fucked the minute you ducked behind your bike with her for cover.."

"Shit I never thought of that." Syaoran curses out with a sigh, hearing someone come in through the double doors they stopped their conversation to look. A young man then approached syaoran with a bow "The Elders will see you now Li-san."

"Thank you Yue"

Ten minutes later in the Elder's conference room...

Syaoran growled in frustration that the negotiations about Sakura, They were not going well for him at all. In fact after hearing some of their suggestions like, 'shoot the fat bitch' or 'lets just have her hanged in front of everyone' he seriously considered punching half of them all unconscious.

Syaoran's fists tightened, he was trying to calm his temper. He was already so full of disrespect for each and every one of the people in the room with him, that mere sight of them made him angry. He just couldn't understand how these people could be so horrid to someone who just accidentally happened to get dragged into a situation that they could not control.

"Elders" Syaoran say's out to them,Calmer now.

"What is it?" They look at him, waiting for him to continue.

"Well my mother mentioned to me last week that you are all shortly leaving for six months to the Li CORP in Hong Kong, to sort out an important business deal with her. Is that right?"

"Yes that is true, what of it boy. " One of the Elders spoke out to Syaoran gruffly, instantly disrespecting him.

Syaoran's fist tightened again at this, even though he was desperately trying to maintain his composed face.

"Well then please allow me those six months to try and do something with the woman, before you try and have her terminated!" Syaoran asks them bowing respectfully.

"Look we can see from the video footage, she is far too fat to allow you to initiate her into your gang! She will not be of any use to us, so what do you think you'll be able to accomplish with her?"

Syaoran smirking evilly."With all due respect Sir, as long as you do not hear about her within these six months at any time, I personally do not see where there is a problem with my request to keep her alive with me.?"

crossing his arms victoriously at the effect his counter argument has on the people listening to it.

"Fine Syaoran since you are the Li clan's sole hair and leader of the wolves, we shall agree to your request, on the conditions that. One if she is not a member of the wolves when we get back and under your protection, we will determine her termination you will also be held responsible for anything she does like run away or breaches any rules. Three you will take whatever punishment we give to you and without protest if this turns out a gang lashing, that lasts two days sounds nice."

Syaoran winced at the last condition, causing the elders to smile at him evilly. Yes the first demand they made was harsh, but to be honest he was an experienced killer and the leader of a deadly gang so people could get killed every day in his world. The gang lashing however would be the toughest setback for him to go through, if he indeed did fail in initiating Sakura within six months he would also lose all the respect he would have over his gang.

'Come on Syaoran, you can do it!' he thought positively to himself, turning his features serious before looking towards the Elders determined.

"Deal."
