However, there was no one there. Blaming the whole incident on his high-strung nerves, he thought no more of it. He decided that he was just nervous to meet the people who had connections to Morpheus himself, a highly sought after criminal and the one who held the answer to his question. Syaoran was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear the strange whispers just a few feet behind him…didn't hear the cocking of the gun…

Fortunately, he had just reached the entrance of the club. Holding out his ID, he was motioned in and blended in well with the crowd. He was saved…for the moment.

"Syaoran-kun! There you are!" An excited Sakura pushed her way through the crowd to get to him. Now, looking into her sparkling emerald eyes, he knew the reason why he had become so much in love with her in the first place, though she herself did not know it. He had never had quite enough courage to tell her…and mentally kicked himself for it. Deep down, he knew that Sakura probably loved him as much as he did of her. But, old fears always resurfaced and doubts always ran through his mind. Brushing away those thoughts, he smiled down at Sakura, who was blushing. Startled, he looked down at his hands, and saw that he had her wrapped up tightly in his arms. Now he was the one who was blushing..."Ah…umm….I'm sorry, Sakura!!!" He couldn't believe that he had been so completely wrapped up in his thoughts that he had no idea he had wrapped his arms around something else…Sakura!

"No need to apologize, Syaoran-kun!" Sakura laughed lightly, breaking the silence between them. "Now, what was it that you needed to talk to me about?" Secretly, though, she had wished for the moment to last longer…she had always felt so safe in his arms…so comfortable…

"Sakura…sakura…sakura!!!" Syaoran waved his hand over Sakura's eyes to get her attention.

"HOEEE!!!!!" Was her reply.

"What were you daydreaming about?" He wondered.

"Oh, nothing in particular!" Her flush was reddening every minute…"Nothing at all."

"Well, if that's the case, do you have a fever?"

Sakura fell over, anime style. "No, that's not it, Syaoran. Come on, let's go get something to drink." She started towards the snack bar and stopped. "Hoe?…Syaoran? Why is everybody staring at us?"

"That's impossible!" Syaoran scoffed…until he looked up…to see that indeed, everyone was staring at them. Even the music had been turned off. The place was so quiet that they could hear the crickets chirping outside. "Wha…what's wrong?" Then he noticed that they weren't looking at Sakura and him…they were looking at something, or someone, behind them…

"Let's go. You're coming with us." Agent Smith clamped his hands down hard over Sakura and Syaoran's shoulders, steering them towards a particularly uninviting vehicle stationed right outside the front door.

"Damn!" Neo scolded himself for not approaching Sakura and Syaoran right away. He knew the risks, but he had taken them anyway. Now the two potentials were gonna be hauled away in that car…he just wouldn't allow it! He made a move to get up, but felt Trinity's restraining hand on his arm.

"Wait, Neo. Not yet. Sakura and Syaoran may surprise us yet."

Author's Notes:

In answer to Geo's question, Agent Smith (the one Neo killed in the Matrix movie) is dead. But however, he is reformatted and turned into Agent Smith #2. Thanks for all the reviews (and keep them coming!) I hope you like this chapter, enjoy!

Neo was worried. They were getting closer and closer to the car, which he remembered dimly from his Thomas Anderson days. Once they got in, they would be in the hands of the most dangerous Agent alive. He knew that Agent Smith had been reformatted, and this time, he would be harder to kill. It would only be a matter of time before the Agents got all the information they wanted from Sakura and Syaoran. He couldn't let that happen! Morpheus had told Neo and Trinity that the two possessed an unnatural power. It was up to them to protect the two teenagers, and so far, they had not been doing such a great job. He dashed out from behind the shadows, determined to save them, with Trinity close behind.

"When we get all the information that we want from you two, all that's left would be…to kill you." Agent Smith said sinisterly while giving them a rather insincere smile.

"No way is that gonna happen! I'm not allowing it!" Neo barreled into Agent Smith, knocking him over and causing him to release his hold on Sakura and Syaoran. "Go now! Run!" Neo shouted as he packed a series of punches into the Agent's stomach. He had no idea where the two teenagers went, but he was sure they were somewhere safe by now, or so he thought.

While Neo was fighting with Agent Smith, Sakura and Syaoran had run into some trouble of their own. "Hold it right there!" Agent Brown and Agent Jones stood in their way. "The only way past us…is past these." They raised their guns in unison.

"Duck!" Syaoran pulled Sakura to the ground as the bullets whizzed past them. "Sakura, the Cards!"

"Right!" Sakura pulled out her key and chanted, "Key holding the power of the stars, appear before me in your true form, as by our contract. I, Sakura, command you! Release!" The key changed into the wand as Sakura shouted, "Shield!" She turned to Syaoran, "Now we can figure out what to do." She turned to Syaoran, but was unpleasantly surprised when she realized that he was not beside her. The bullets from the Agents were having no effect on her…but where was Syaoran? The Agents didn't know what to do…so they did the first thing that they could think of…they ran for their lives.

Author's Notes:

I know this chapter is VERY short, shorter in fact, than my other two chapters. But keep in mind, this is only (Part Two) of who knows who many parts? I'm keeping it short so I can post sooner, so those people begging me for more will have something to satisfy them…for the time being. I'll come out with (Part Three) probably tomorrow. Who knows? Maybe I'll have a burst of inspiration and finish writing this whole scene. But before that happens, I just want to encourage all of you to review!!! It's the thing that keeps authors like me going…and going…and going! LOL. Well, thanks minna. Cya!

Chapter Two: First Encounters (Part Three)

Syaoran stared around at his surroundings. Something was terribly wrong…where was Sakura? Suddenly he caught sight of her, safe inside the Shield bubble, the two agents running away from her. He wondered how he had gotten so far away from her. What had happened? As if in answer to his question, a voice behind him said, "You're safe from them here." He turned and caught sight of a homeless man hiding in the shadows. He felt uncomfortable because of the strange aura emitting from the old man. He started to say thanks when…

"Oh shit!" Neo gasped when he saw Agent Smith dematerializing from the host's body. "Where is he going, now?" He thought to himself. "Trinity!" He shouted. "Find the kids! I'll take care of the Agents!"

Sakura stared out from her Shield bubble. Where was Syaoran? She suddenly saw him…but what was that thing in the shadows beside him?

Syaoran was taken by surprise as he saw the man in front of him suddenly turning into…Agent Smith. "There's no way out…this alley's a dead end!" Was his last thought before receiving a crushing blow to his head.

Sakura was taken by surprise again when Syaoran suddenly walked around the corner…hadn't he just been in that dark alley? She turned to look again, but saw nothing. "Strange." She thought, but she hurried towards Syaoran anyway. "I'm so glad you're okay, Syaoran-kun!"

Syaoran blinked his eyes a few times, trying to get adjusted to the darkness. He had a faint recollection of the events that had conspired earlier…but he could not even begin to guess why he was lying on the ground with a major headache…he groaned and began to sit up, just as he saw Sakura hurrying towards…a mirror image of him. "NOOOO, SAKURA!!!!"

Sakura flung herself into Syaoran's arms…it was strange…she didn't feel as comfortable as she usually did with Syaoran. She looked up to see the smirking face…of Agent Smith. She gasped and tried to run away, but the Agent held tight. She growled and thought to herself, "I'm not playing by the rules anymore!"

She pulled out the Power Card and the Fight Card and chanted, "Power, grant me your strength! Fight Card, lend me your abilities!" The pink and blue auras of the Power and Fight cards wrapped around Sakura, lending her their powers.

Trinity stared in awe at the girl, whose powers, she surmised, rivaled even Neo's. She would be a welcome addition to the team. The pink and blue colors around the girl, Sakura, glowed brightly. Trinity decided that this was a fight worth watching…

"You wanna fight? I'll show you how to fight!!!" Sakura was getting really annoyed now. She had no doubt in her mind that this man had done something to harm Syaoran, and she was here to make him pay! She started off with a series of punches, which knocked the Agent off his feet and into the air. While in the air, the Agent did a drop-kick, which made Sakura lose her balance and drop down on the ground. She got up quickly and countered with her own punches and kicks. While doing her roundhouse kick, Agent Smith grabbed her foot and flipped her to the ground.

Sakura felt a stabbing pain in the back of her neck, then slumped down to the ground, unconscious. She had just been hit with the tranquilizer dart…

Trinity had seen what had happened, but she knew she could not stop the Agent. Where was Neo when they needed him? They didn't have much time left. The Agent was starting to haul Sakura up from the ground. She decided to take a chance and leveled the gun towards his head. "BAMMM!!!"

Agent Smith had finally captured the girl. He smiled to himself. She would be the perfect bait. "Morpheus will try to save her, and when he does…well, it's not going to be like last time…once we've got him, he won't be escaping again for a long time." He smirked to himself, but in his haste to pick up the girl, his gun slipped and fell to the ground, unnoticed. Suddenly, he turned around to see a bullet speeding towards him. He dodged the bullet easily, and the others that followed it. He felt for his own gun, and not finding one, he sprinted towards Trinity at breakneck speed.

Trinity's eyes widened as she saw the Agent coming towards her with unimaginable speed. As he crashed into her, she flew backwards into the brick wall, dropped down, and crumpled into a heap.

Neo had encountered some problems of his own…the two Agents were constantly running away from him…he decided to stop pursuing them and instead, hurried back to where he had last left Trinity.

Syaoran waited for his headache pain to subside and lifted up an ofuda. Raising his sword, he chanted, "Force know my plight, release the light! WIND!!!" The wind surrounded Agent Smith, blinding him, and for a moment, the usually confident Agent was at loss for what to do. The wind, however, tapered off as Syaoran lost more strength. A sleek black car rounded the corner, and Smith shoved Sakura into it before getting in himself.

"Go!" He shouted to Agent Johnson, They sped off, leaving behind a cloud of dust.

"Don't…take…Sakura…away…from…me…" Syaoran whispered into the still night. He fought to stay awake, but fainted and collapsed, landing on the hard concrete ground.

Author's Notes: Did you like this chapter, or did you think it was a bit confusing? I was trying to do it in each character's point of view, like what each one was thinking as something happened. Please review below!!! Yup, another cliffhanger….I'm so sorry, guys! (It always ends in a cliffhanger…) Oh well, at least I update the story quickly, so you all can be satisfied! How did you like this? It is a lot longer than the last chapter…..Also, as to how Agent Smith copied Syaoran's features, I'm just gonna say that Agent Smith has new powers, meaning he can also "clone" or "copy" other people's physical characteristics (sort of like Mystique in the X-Men movie) in addition to all the powers he had in the Matrix movie. The end of the "miniparts"!!! Finally! LOL. Anyways, Tomoyo and Eriol coming up in the next chapter……*thinking* you know, I didn't get many reviews for (Part Two)…only three reviews (*sniff sniff*)…..maybe it was too short? Well, if you like this story, please review! I can only make my chapters better if you comment on them! .^_^. Thanks, everyone….
