Startling Discovery

(What have I done?) Syaoran walked down the deserted road. His handsome face, tear streaked, his amber eyes, lifeless. Memories with Sakura flashed in his mind. Sakura's emerald eyes, her baby cheeks, and her lips. The night of the kiss still haunted him. He looked at the object in his hand, hating it's existance. If it weren't for this crystal, none of this would have ever happened.

He walked into what seemed like an abandoned alley. Inside the alley, there was a large, green garbage bin. On the side of the bin, in a small corner, was a number pad. Syaoran walked up to the number pad and punched in his ID number, gaining him access into the missioner's headquarters. The front of the garbage bin opened up, showing a wide opening, leading to a staircase. Syaoran climbed in, his mind still with Sakura.

He walked down the corridor like a zombie. Heedless of his surroundings, he headed to the main office, where his father awaited him. As he walked by many other offices, people around him buzzed with their own problems. He reached the main office doors. His hands grasped the handle but something stopped him cold. There were voices coming inside the room. And they were talking about him . . .

"But Yako-sama, he's your son! You can't just kill him!" a female voice protested.

"Just because he is my son, I can do what ever I want with him. Don't interfere with my plans Chyka . . . Once I am immortal, I will need no one, except . . . Yelan . . ." a deep male voice spoke with a low growl.

"Syaoran's mother?"

Outside, Syaoran froze at the mention of his mother.

"Yes. She is my one weakness. She betrayed me, with another man and left Syaoran for adoption. Lucky I got to him before any other foster bastards got to him. Though she betrayed me, I must admit, I still love her."

"Why did you keep Syaoran if in the end, you would just end up killing him?" Chyka sounded worried and confused.

"I wasn't planning to kill him, but after watching him being so easily fooled by that Kinomoto girl, well, I think he's getting to be too soft. Therefore, I must eliminate him."

"Kinomoto? As in Kinomoto Kenji's great-granddaughter?"

"Yes, him."

"Was he not your grandfather's best friend?"

"He was. It's a shame the old man couldn't make it back to his village. And when he died, I guess he left the crystal to the Kinomoto family. Anyway, once I'm immortal, Yelan will come to me willingly."

"And if she doesn't?"

"Don't worry . . . she'll come one way or another."

Syaoran backed away from the door, his mind reviewing the conversation he had just heard. So, he had been a pawn all along. His father was just using him to get what he wanted. Once he had done that, Yako would have disposed of him. Syaoran shuddered. His own father wanted to kill him.

"Sir? Why are standing outside the door?" a voice said behind him. Syaoran heard footsteps rushing to the door within the room. The door slid open as a man with brown hair and blue eyes stepped out of the room followed by a girl with red hair put in a pony tail. Her violet eyes were nervous and bleary.

"Syaoran . . . how much did you hear?" Yako asked, his icy blue eyes glared back at his son.

"I heard everything." Syaoran's whisper was deadly. He felt hatred towards this man infront of him who claimed to be his father. "How could you father?" His tone was icy.

"If you heard everything, then there is no use in me denying it. But you must know, you brought this upon yourself with that girl." Yako's eyes darted to his hands. So, the boy had succeeded after all.

"I brought it upon my self? What was my big mistake father? Was it falling in love? Is it a mistake to love? Because if it is, then you have made a terrible mistake yourself!" Syaoran seethed.

Yako's eyes flashed dangerously. Syaoran knew he had just mad a mistake, crossing the line. "Loving is not a mistake, though it is a weakness. But you loving that girl is a big mistake! Now give me that crystal!" Yako pointed to the crystal in Syaoran's hand.

"In your dreams, I'll never give you the crystal now." Syaoran raised his hands to destroy it but then changed his mind. "Better than destroying it, I'll use it." With that, he turned and ran down the corridor.

"Stop him at all costs!" Yako yelled as an army of missioner's chased after Syaoran. Syaoran dodged swiftly at the missioner's throwing themselves at him. After all, he was the best missioner.

He dashed out of the garbage bin and ran towards the Penguin Park forest.
