Geo: Bonjour! Oh dear, I'm lapsing into French...dear Lord...not that I don't like French...I'm not good at it, that's all.
So, what's up with everyone? Okay, this fic is sort of like an alternate reality. It doesn't go along the lines of the whole magic cardcapturing thing. I just use the characters and their personalities. Oh, Brooklyn.
Brooklyn: Hello! Watching The Matrix! Go away!
Geo: *sigh* Whatever...so, I have a lazy muse, that doesn't matter...much..
Anyways, I don't own CCS and stuff like that...neither do I own Tomorrow Never Dies (the James Bond flick) nor do I own the song.
There! On with the fic!
DANGEROUS RIVALS
It's so deadly, my dear,
The power of having you near...
chapter one
missions
"So, Ms. Kinomoto. Do you know your assignment?"
Sakura Kinomoto sighed, exasperated. "I've been in the agency for long enough to know the rules and to find out about the missions as soon as I get them."
Her boss smiled. "Of course, Ms. Kinomoto. However, just for habit's sake..."
Sakura rolled her eyes. "Fine. Find Syaoran Li. Get close to him. Find out their agency's plans from him. Exterminate him."
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Well, Mr. Li?"
Syaoran grinned his usual half grin, mischievous yet cold. "I've located her. She probably thinks she's going to take me by surprise," He chuckled. "If she thinks that, she's as good as dead."
The man on the screen smiled. "You're the best, Syaoran, the very best. But, remember. Some of our best soldiers get caught into her trap. You must not get caught in her trap."
Syaoran chuckled again. "I wouldn't worry about that. As beautiful as they all claim her to be, no one can get to me."
The man signed. "Let's hope you're right, Syaoran. Just make sure you carry out the mission."
"Got you, boss. Find Sakura Kinomoto. And destroy her.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Listen, Tomoyo, I just need to know where he'll be at what time."
"How would you expect me to know, Sakura?"
Sakura sighed. "You know everything. I swear, you have cameras everywhere on this frickin' planet. If this wasn't work, I would think you were disgusting."
"Sakura! I don't hide cameras in the washroom, thank you very much..."
Sakura laughed. "Okay, okay Tomoyo! Just do me this favor. Where will he be tonight?"
"That, I don't know. Our Syaoran friend has a good trick at hiding himself. Even I can't log onto him."
Sakura sighed. "Fine. I'll have to do some scouting around."
She hung up her cell and walked around the park. It was peaceful outside.
At the peacefulness, she sighed a sad sigh. She really didn't like this underground war, this fight between one agency and another. The two agencies should bond together. There was nothing wrong with fighting together to stop a common evil.
Sakura smiled at a passing child. She would find this Syaoran Li. And she would get rid of him. Then perhaps she could just get on with her life. And have a normal life.
She sighed and walked over to a well-known mansion. The mansion of a Tomoyo Daidoju.
Sakura's black haired friend was waiting for her.
"I heard about your mission," she said cheerfully as Sakura took a seat. "So you're going against the great Syaoran Li, huh?"
Sakura looked up. "Huh?"
Tomoyo laughed and pulled up a file on her laptop. "Syaoran Li. Handsome, same age as us. Deadly, able to get information out of the best female agents there are. He's got some sort of magical charm about him."
Sakura rolled her eyes, disgusted. "Oh, great charm. Takes them to a room..."
"And surprisingly, he never does that. The information is always out before it gets close to that stage." Tomoyo smiled. "And you, Sakura Kinomoto, the best agent there is, known world wide, is going against him."
Sakura rolled her eyes. "Well, it takes a lot more to break me then a smile and good looks."
Tomoyo laughed. "I'm not doubting you, Sakura. You're the best of the best. Anyways, I've heard from a few sources that he will be down at that new club tonight. I suppose you'd like to meet him there tonight?"
Sakura nodded and sighed, looking sad again. "I'm tired of this whole secret agent crap, Tomoyo. I mean, I've had enough of this going around the planet killing one agent and saving another. It's enough to just make me want to take the white pill that they give us, just in case."
Tomoyo looked at her friend sympathetically. "I'm sorry, Sakura. But I don't think it's going to be that easy."
Sakura nodded. "You're right. But, it's always nice to wish." She smiled wearily. "So, what time's the party?"
~*~*~*~*~*~
Syaoran smiled at Eriol, who had just walked up to the booth. "So, did you make sure the information got through?"
Eriol smiled. "Of course. Through those girls, who are gossipy by nature, the news will be at Tomoyo's and with Sakura faster than you can snap your fingers."
Syaoran smiled. "Good work. I'm anxious to meet this Sakura."
Eriol laughed. "Who wouldn't be. Beautiful, sexy...you lucky dog, you get to pry the information out of her. It will probably be harder than usual. You'll probably have to go through steps that you might not usually have to go through."
Syaoran stopped smiling and shook his head. "Listen, Eriol, you know I don't ever want to do that. There's something...somewhat dirty about it. It's just...disgusting to use someone's feelings like that to get information." He banged his fist on the table. "No information is worth doing that someone as innocent as her."
Eriol laughed in amazement. "You think she hasn't done that? Man, why do you think she's the top?"
"Because, Eriol, I just know. I did some research on her. She doesn't seem like the type who would do that sort of thing."
Eriol shrugged. "Whatever, man. It's your mission, not mine. Just remember. Me and Yamazaki will be around for back-up." He chuckled. "As if you ever need back-up."
Syaoran nodded. "I just want to get this mission over with. It'll be somewhat sad to kill such a worthy opponent."
Eriol grinned. "But isn't that what we live for? Carrying out missions, even if it mean the life of another. For the common good?"
"I sometimes wish it weren't like that, Eriol. Sometimes I truly wish it weren't like that. But, it's our duty. Carry out the missions."
~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura checked herself in the full-length mirror. Jet black leather pants, a black tank top (A/n Just sort of think of Trinity from The Matrix) and black boots. All tailored by the famous Tomoyo.
'This better catch Syaoran's eye. I don't want to wear something this incredibly uncomfortable for absolutely nothing.'
She grabbed a black coat and raced to her waiting vehicle. Her wrist watch held the microphone that would enable Tomoyo to hear and communicate. And the mike she was to put on Syaoran was in her pocket. Yes, he should be killed by tomorrow night, if everything went to plan.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Syaoran walked into the club, the loud music blaring in his ears. He saw a glimpse of Eriol somewhere nearby. Although he didn't really like working in a team, he had to. Supposedly this Sakura character was really tricky. She could blow up the whole damned building and she wouldn't care.
He inwardly groaned. This would be a hard one to break. But he would never resort to the last step. Never. Even if she was his rival, even if he was to kill her, he had respect for her as a human and as an opponent. Even if he really didn't have any respect for himself. Killing innocent people.
He shook his head. He wasn't going to let his feelings interfere. If everything went according to plan, she would be dead by tomorrow night.

Geo: Voila! Finished the first chapter! Sorry it's so extremely SHORT! I know, I know...really really short...whatever. I had to leave stuff for the next chapter, wouldn't you agree?
Whoa, coincidence! Whoa! Whoa! Sorry, I'm not to good at writing suspenseful thrillers or anything. It's just fun.
Even though it really doesn't sound like their characters right now, well, we'll see. It has to be the personalities, so don't worry. Bwahahahaha! Everything is going according to plan!
Sorry if I'm obsessing over The Matrix. It's just such a kick ass movie! Bwahahaha! See you all next chapter!
