A/N #1: Sakura, Syaoran, and Tomoyo are 18. Touya and Yukito are 21. I made the age difference between Sakura and Touya smaller so the story would make more sense. The main antagonist, Fugami Habuminato, is 20. The members of the two gangs range from 16-23. I also want to remind you that this is an AU. The way I depict Tokyo in my fic is not what the Tokyo here is like.
A/N #2: Whew, it took me a while to finish this, but the point is that I finished this chapter. Well, I just hope that this chapter was worth your wait. And before I end this useless babbling, I would like to thank all of those who have reviewed this fic. I'm just really lucky to have a group, such as yourselves, reading and reviewing my fics. That's about it. I hope you all enjoy this chapter.
DISCLAIMER I do not, I REPEAT, do not own CCS. Never have and probably, never will. I also don't own any of the products I use in this as well.
"Battle Between Gangs"
CHAPTER 6
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next day . . .
Syaoran woke up very groggy the next morning, not too mention the slight headache he was having.
'Now what did I do to get this.' Syaoran thought. Then a picture of Sakura entered his mind. 'Oh yeah, Sakura and I were dancing.'
Syaoran then got out of bed, dressed himself, and then walked downstairs and found Touya in the garage.
"Mornin' Syaoran. You get enough sleep?" Touya asked.
"Yeah, I got my share." Syaoran answered. "Where's Sakura?"
"Sakura went to the store to get some food. I sent along a few of my best guys to accompany her."
"I see your not taking any chances."
"Damn right. There's no way in hell that I'm gonna left that son of a bitch even look at Sakura."
"Can't say I would do the same thing if I was in your position." Syaoran replied. "So, what is it that you wanted to show me?"
"I just thought I might as well tell you how things go about in this city. Our gang specializes in two things; fighting and racing. I'm pretty sure you don't need lessons on fighting but you should know the rules we go by: 1) you fight until your opponent falls unconscious or dies, 2) the fight goes on until there is a victor."
"The rules are understandable. I'm pretty sure I can handle them." Syaoran commented.
"Well, I'll tell you now, there are a ton of guys who aren't pushovers so be careful." Touya warned. "You know how to ride a bike?"
Syaoran shook his head.
"Well, now's a perfect time to learn. Hey Keiku." Just then, a guy who looked about the same age as Touya and maybe 5'9 with brown spiked-hair, walked up to his leader.
"What's up Touya." Keiku said.
"Look, newbie here doesn't know how to ride, so we might as well teach him since nothing is goin' on right now." Touya said.
"Alright. Got nothing else better to do. So let's get this show on the road."
"Great. Hey, you ready?" Touya asked Syaoran.
"Uh, sure I guess." Syaoran answered, somewhat nervous.
"Don't worry, Keiku is probably the best person who can teach you. I guarantee you that you'll be riding with ease by lunch." Touya replied, as they left the hangout.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
11:30 a.m. (Blaze Nightclub) . . .
Indeed, Touya was true to his word. Keiku was a great teacher. Syaoran had learned how to balance the bike and you probably wouldn't have guess that was his first time on a motorcycle.
"See, I told you Keiku was the best." Touya said. "At this rate you might be one of our best racers. Well, next to me of course."
"Whatever." Syaoran and Touya then walked into the kitchen and found Sakura, Tomoyo, and some other 'White Tigers' preparing lunch.
"You guys are just in time. Lunch is almost ready." Sakura said. "So, how was the driving lesson? You didn't ruin any of our bikes, did you Syaoran?"
"Of course not, do you really think I'm that big of a newbie?" Syaoran questioned. "Wasn't I the one who kept Fugami from getting his filthy hands on you?"
"Okay, that's enough you two. I'm starving and I would like to eat my lunch with some peace and quiet."
Sakura and Syaoran ceded to Touya's request and ate lunch.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
5 o'clock (eastern part of Tokyo) . . .
The entrance to the Red Firebird's hangout was located in an alley. Touya, Sakura, Syaoran, and Tomoyo were standing just outside a decrepit-looking building.
"Um, are you sure that this is the place? This doesn't look like a place someone would want to hangout." Syaoran commented.
"Don't make assumptions when you don't know the facts." Touya said, as he knocked the door to the hangout.
"State your name." A voice said.
"I am Touya Kinomoto of the White Tigers. I believe your leader has invited me." Touya said formally.
The door closed for a moment, but they could hear the clicking of the lock. Just then, the door opened and stepped out a rather tall guy.
"Yukito is in the entertainment room." The guy said. Touya, Sakura, Syaoran, and Tomoyo then walked into the hangout. The moment Syaoran stepped into the building, he was beginning to eat his words.
They found Yukito, with a pile of food surrounding him, and some of his fellow member situated near the big-screen TV.
"Touya, I am so glad that you were able to come." Yukito greeted, after he swallowed the food that was in his mouth.
"Thanks for inviting us." Touya said. "I like you to meet Syaoran Li. He's my newest newbie."
"Nice to meet ya, Syaoran." Yukito welcomed.
"Same here." Syaoran replied.
"I see you brought Sakura and Tomoyo as well." Yukito said to Touya.
"Well, I brought Tomoyo. Kaijuu just happened to tag along." Touya replied, as a result, Sakura socked him and Yukito started chuckling.
Touya, Yukito, Sakura, Syaoran, and Tomoyo then began to chat about all the things that happened since the last time they say each other. Syaoran, on the other hand, was a little frustrated. He looked a little hurt to see Sakura and Yukito so close. Sakura and Yukito were talking about stuff and Sakura seemed to be really enjoying herself. He could feel a small pang of jealousy for Yukito, yet he also felt a bit of envy.
"You alright Syaoran?" Tomoyo asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Syaoran answered.
"Sure you are. By the way you are looking at Sakura and Yukito, I would say that you wish it was you over there."
Syaoran just stayed silent, knowing that Tomoyo was right.
"Look, you have nothing to worry about. I'll tell you that Sakura did have a crush on Yukito then, but now, she it totally over him. I guarantee it. Personally, I think she has someone else in mind."
Now that got Syaoran thinking.
'Someone else? Could it be . . . nah . . . I hardly even know her and she hardly knows me. It couldn't possibly be me. Though, it would be really nice if she did feel that way about me.'
Just then, a loud crash was heard throughout the room, along with shards of broken glass. Touya, Yukito, and Sakura took cover behind the couch, while Tomoyo and Syaoran went behind the coffee table. They all could hear the sound of motorcycles fading away.
When it was all clear, Yukito found a brick wrapped with paper a few feet away from him. He picked up and began to read what was written. At the same time, Touya's cell phone went off. He checked who it was and then answered.
"What's up Akira?"
"We just got a message from the Dark Dragons, via brick."
"I figured that. Yukito just received his a few minutes ago. I'll just take a look from his, okay. See ya." Touya then hung up, just when Yukito finished reading the note.
"Here, I'm pretty sure it applies to you as well." Yukito handed Touya the note. Touya took the paper and it said:
We, the Dark Dragons, issue a racing challenge to all that have received this note. The race will take place 2 nights after this note has been received. Choose your best 2 racers and bring them to devil's curse and 11:00 p.m. sharp. Winner gets $5,000 from each losing gang. Come and race us, if you dare.
Touya was seething. Sakura wondered what made her brother so angry. Syaoran had a small idea on what was on the paper, but thought it would be wise if he didn't mention anything.
"Yukito, thanks for inviting us, but we have to go." Touya said suddenly.
"Yeah, no problem. I think it would be best if I talk with my guys as well." Yukito answered. With that, Touya, Sakura, Syaoran, and Tomoyo left and drove off back to the club.
