Wanted Man

Well, this is an interesting AU fic I wrote. Sakura is an FBI agent, and she's tracking the terrorist Syaoran Li. However, some unexpected things happen, and everything gets flipped around. See what happens!

Chapter 1

"Jeez...he did it again." Touya sighed, and set the paper on the table. On the front it said 'Terrorist Syaoran Li attacks again'. "The guy's taken down seven buildings already...even ourselves, the glorious FBI, can't take him out." Everyone glared at Touya and he sweatdropped. "Eheheheheheheh....." He said. "So, any leads on the situation?" Touya asked. All but Chiharu shook their heads. "He's a sucker for women, Touya-kun." She announced, eliciting a blush from all the women in the office-Touya rolled his eyes...every time he asked, he got the same answer-they had seen Syaoran before. He was stunningly handsome, with a firm, lithe build. "All right Cane, tell me what you know, now!" With that, everyone's heads turned to the interrogation room, and they all paled when they saw Sakura in there with the serial killer.

"Okay, Cane. Tell me what you know and I won't be forced to blow what serves as your testicles off." The man glared at her. "You lousy onna...if I ever get these cuffs off I'm comin after you!" As he finished that sentence, he was kicked in the gut. He continued to glare at Sakura as she calmly pulled her pistol out and aimed it at his crotch. "Now, because my trigger finger's getting itchy. What do you know about Syaoran Li?" He spat at her, and she pulled the trigger. He flinched, but didn't feel anything. He looked down and saw that the chair was splintered. He smiled victoriously when the others ran in and calmed her down. "One last thing. Syaoran's not the one doing the bombing. I never met anyone by that name!" What?!

As soon as they were out, Touya turned to Sakura. "What were you thinking, Sakura-san? He wouldn't have sold Syaoran out. They're supposed to be tight buddies." Touya shook his head. I can't let her take the job. She'd do well, but I can't risk her life. "Onnichan, let me do the job...it's what you wanted to ask of me but couldn't let me get involved. I want to hunt down the bastard who killed so many." Touya sighed. He couldn't keep anything from his little sister. "Fine. Get to Hirragizawa ASAP. He'll help you fabricate an I.D. you can use.

Girl, it's been a long time and we've been apart

Much too long for a man who needs love

"Ah, Sakura-chan!" Eriol sprang up from his desk and wrapped his arms around her. Sakura blinked and wrapped her arms around him, feeling rather uncomfortable. It's not that I don't like him, but it seems like he loves me. I don't want to hurt him but I may not be able to help it. "Eriol-san," Sakura didn't notice the look of hurt on Eriol's face. "My brother wants you to create an I.D. for me. I'm going to hunt Syaoran down." Eriol's eyes widened, and he stared blankly at Sakura. "You're going to hunt him down? Sakura, he'll mesmerize you...he's already done it to the others in the office! I don't want you falling for him, not like the others." Why in hell would I fall for Syaoran? He may have some charm, and he looks good, but I'm dedicated to my mission. "Eriol, get to work fabricating the I.D. I'm starting tomorrow." And with that, Sakura walked out.

The next day, as Rebecca Stevens, Sakura set out to find and kill Syaoran Li. After reaching the pier, she accidentally bumped into someone. He muttered "gomen" and attempted to move past, but Sakura caught his arm. "Hey. I'm sorry for bumping into you. I didn't mean any..." His voice trailed off as his hazy amber eyes gazed into glinting emerald ones. He blushed and looked at the ground, as if guilty of some heinous crime. Sakura smiled and shook his hand. "Konnichiwa, my name is Rebecca Stevens. May I ask yours?" She bowed politely. He bowed back. "My name is Jonathan Neal." Sakura couldn't shake the feeling she'd seen him before. She remembered the encounters like this she'd had with others. One of them had been Syaoran, who was running from a huge governmental facility that had detonated a few moments ago. She had blushed, and somehow forgotten what her task was when he accidentally bumped into her. She remembered the way his amber eyes sparkled worriedly in the sunlight. She shook her head and smiled up at the man. "Would you like to get something to eat?" She asked, wondering why he was avoiding her gaze.

I've missed you since I've been away

Syaoran's POV

His face was warm, and he had a sneaking suspicion he'd met this woman before. "Would you like to get something to eat?" She asked, and his head came up, no longer red, and nodded. They walked over to a restaurant, and Syaoran paid for their meals. As they ate he stared at the woman who called herself Rebecca Stevens. I know her from somewhere...but where? His eyes widened in realization. The FBI agent I bumped into. Crud...if she finds out who I am I'm dead, even though I didn't do it. Those bastards at Binring BioMed are going to pay for getting me into this mess. They ate their food in an uncomfortable silence, so Syaoran attempted to start a conversation. "So, what do you do for a living?" "FBI agent..." Her eyes widened when she said that, and laughed. "Whoa, where did that come from?" She chuckled nervously. That proves it. I'm so dead. "Interesting. Well, if you want to know," Syaoran said, injecting an edge of sarcasm in his voice. "I'm a person who's being framed and seen by the general public as a terrorist, but actually the terrorists are a megaconglomerate corporation intent on creating a superior race of humans, the perfect weapons, and destroy all that is good." Rebecca stared blankly, then laughed, prompting a glance from the surrounding people. Syaoran looked her up and down, and found his face hot. He looked at the ground. How clueless is she? You'd think she'd take this kinda thing seriously. Oh well, she's dead sexy, and she may just be the one to help me convince the others there I'm not the bomber. "Umm, Ms. Rebecca?" She looked at me, her emerald eyes glinting. "I'd really like to get to know you. D'ya think maybe we could get together sometime?" He asked hopefully. She blushed slightly, and nodded slightly. "Sure, but you'll have to meet my onnichan." Syaoran shook his head. "Not right now, please." If I remember correctly her brother is the head of the FBI. I can't show myself to him. Fortunately for Syaoran, she understood perfectly. "Yeah, the last half-dozen people who tried to go out with me have gotten kicked out of our house because they made moves on me, but you seem polite. I would like to get to know you before my brother gets annoying and tries to kick you out of the house." Syaoran sweatdropped, but shrugged it off, then gently brushed a hand alongside her face and took off. He didn't look back to see the girl who's real name he didn't know blush madly.

"You're late Syaoran." Wei said, looking up from the '72 Chevy he was fixing. "Yeah, whatever." Syaoran said, walking over to an engine for a '92 Toyota 4-Runner and pushed a concealed button. Syaoran walked over and stood by Wei as the floor of the car shop rose to reveal a station filled with technical stuff as well as a lot of weaponry. Syaoran strode over to his sword, and pulled it off the shelf, then grabbed an M-16 and set it down on a file cabinet. He started to dance, using each and every one of his leaps and bounds to spiral into the air with his blade jutting out. Then he started getting serious, and began to use his fighting skills in the dance, turning leaps into flying kicks, aerials into back flips that brought both of his feet crashing into an enemies body, all the while able to complete the flip. "Hey, stop dancing. We have work to do..." Wei stood and watched as Syaoran used his magic to trail sparks through the air, and he drew a perfect picture of 'Rebecca's' face. Wei sighed. "You met a girl didn't you?" Syaoran merely nodded and continued his sword exercises. "Syaoran, you know damn good and well that these people can't be trusted!" Syaoran stopped and stared at Wei. "You think I don't know that? But Wei...I love this girl. The only problem is, she's FBI." Wei winced. Syaoran walked past Wei and over to a computer. He typed in 'Rebecca Stevens' and looked at the data. Then, he drew a picture using a program on the computer and used it to search. He finally found what he was looking for. "Her name is Kinomoto Sakura. Brother is Kinomoto Touya. Works in the terrorism section of the FBI." Syaoran sighed as he closed down the program and grabbed the M-16 and his sword. "I'll see you later Wei." And with that he ran out of the shop.

Babe, wasn't easy to leave you alone

It's getting harder and harder my love

If I had a choice I would stay

Argent fire streamed out of the windows of the hospital, killing the nurses and all those on ground level. Syaoran cursed to himself as he worked furiously to disarm the C-4 device. As soon as he heard a beeping sound he rushed into the elevator and rose to the third level. He searched frantically in the rooms and finally found the device. He threw out a card and shouted "freeze!", then struck the card with the tip of his sword, and a shield of ice grew over the C-4. The monstrous mammalian creature of ice turned to Syaoran. "Freeze all of those on the top levels. I'll work these ones!" He shouted, and the spirit shot out of the wall and up to the higher levels. Syaoran heard another explosion. "Shit!" He looked out of the hole made from the spirit, and ducked back in to avoid having his head clipped off by falling debris. "90th level dead. What the?" The building rocked, and as Syaoran turned he noticed he was having a hard time breathing. He looked below the door, and cursed loudly, then ran as the backdraft shot into the room. "AAAAAAAH!!!" He shouted as he dove. As he jumped, flames shot into the darkness right above him. He landed heavily on the concrete, but as the FBI cars rolled up, he stood up and ran. He didn't hear Sakura shouting orders to get everyone they could out of there, and then chase after him. Syaoran turned a corner and smacked into Sakura, who held him up against a wall and pummeled him repeatedly. "You sick bastard...how could you do this?" Syaoran looked into her eyes, then leaned in and kissed her gently on the mouth, eliciting a blush from both of them. "Guess the dates' off." He said softly, then knocked her arms away from his throat and the off into the darkness.

Sakura's POV

That was John?! I should have known...but...what John said...maybe he was trying to tell me what was happening. Sakura was in the midst of her thoughts when the mammalian creature landed next to her, burnt and melting. It spoke to her mind: "Tell my master, that I tried. I disarmed as many of the charges as possible. Binring BioMed guys were up there with flamethrowers...they anticipated our arrival. Tell Syaoran Li I will never forget him."

Sakura blinked, listening to the creature and what it said. Syaoran wasn't the terrorist? "I've never heard of Binring BioMed before. What is it?" "It is now called Krytos Emporium BioMedical Center." That was a name she'd heard of. "Thank you. I will not let your sacrifice be in vain. I'll help Syaoran get the bastards who did that." And with that she tore off, following Syaoran.

She managed to find him rather easily, and slowly followed him into a car shop. She heard a lot of cussing, then silence. She walked in and spoke softly. "Syaoran?" He stood up violently, and glared at her. "You here to take me to jail Sakura? Or are you just here to kill me?" She shuddered when he spoke with such vehemence, but ignored it and walked up to him, then kissed him on the mouth, wrapping her arms around him and feeling his wrap around her. When it ended she smiled softly up at him. She giggled when she saw Syaoran's blank stare. He shook his head and smiled, then leaned in to say something, but thought the better of it and instead nipped her ear. She read his expression right away, but decided to ask later. "Now, what's this all about?" Syaoran sighed, and beckoned for her to sit down. "It's a long story." He said.

There's no one like you

I can't wait for the nights with you

I imagine the things we'd do

I just want to be loved by you

Syaoran's POV

"It all started when I was a boy. My younger brother and I were stolen from our home, though Binring would say we were 'legitimate property'. They experimented on me, tried to steal my emotions. They almost succeeded, when one of the scientists turned off the machine. They killed him, but it was too late. They decided to train me to be the perfect warrior. I had magic gifts that I inherited from my family. They enhanced my concentration, and thus my skill with magic grew. After I was done they said I could talk with my little brother before they trained him." At that, Syaoran broke into sobs, but he continued the story. "My little brother was destroyed...he was nearly dead when I saw him. They took him away, and he was screaming for me to stop them. At the time I was rather naive, so I assumed that I'd see him again. The next day, they told me he was dead. I was devastated, and I broke free of their grasp. I killed all the scientists who created me, and ran away. I went back to my family, but they cast me out, except for Wei here." He motioned to Wei, who was working on the '72 Chevy again. He noticed Sakura was on the verge of tears. "I trained myself every way I could, in every weapon I could get my hands on. Then I moved here, to the location of Binring BioMed Headquarters. When I arrived, they announced their name change to the Krytos Emporium BioMedical Center. Every single one of the terrorist attacks were from them, and how my name popped up, I don't know." He stopped there, because his body wracked with sobs as he remembered his little brother. He felt a pair of arms wrap around him, and he slowly stopped. He looked into Sakura's eyes, his amber eyes sparkling with some of the water from his tears. "Take me to your office tomorrow. I'll show them everything. I'll tell them select things. Please, tell me you won't let anyone know about this." He saw Sakura nod, then stood up. "I'll see you tomorrow then, Sakura. At the FBI building?" She nodded again, then rose and kissed his cheek, then walked out waving.

No one like you

I can't wait for the nights with you

I imagine the things we'd do

I just want to be loved by you

Syaoran gulped as he looked up at the building. As he moved to open the door, it opened, revealing Sakura. She smiled and hugged him, then led him upstairs. "Everyone come here!" She shouted, and the entire staff raced into the room. When they saw who she was with, a man lumbered from the back of the group and punched him in the gut. Syaoran stayed standing, though he lost his breath. Sakura was too stunned to react. Guess I'm playing it solo. Syaoran caught the man's fist, then yanked the man toward him and drove his knee into his gut. He delivered a snap-kick that knocked the man into the wall, and took up a fighting posture, his eyes darting from person to person. The man stood up and drew his gun, but Syaoran rammed him into the wall again, and stole his gun. He ran over to the window and hurled it out. His eyes widened when he saw a man Sakura's age holding a gun level to his chest. "Stay away from MY Sakura-chan!" What?! Great. She has a boyfriend. just great. He rose to his feet, his hands in the air, and noticed the man was about to shoot when Sakura imposed herself between the gun and Syaoran. Syaoran darted in front of Sakura as the man pulled the trigger. The bullet flew into the right side of his chest, and he staggered back, holding the wound with his left hand. He snickered quietly. "Idiots...you don't realize what you're doing. You're going to kill me right away. You don't even have enough solid evidence to try me in court." In the meanwhile, he spoke to Sakura's mind with his, injecting anger into his thoughts: "You have a boyfriend, and yet you try and date me?!" "He's not my boyfriend Syaoran. He's an idiot who loves me. That's all." "Whatever..."

The staff stared wide-eyed as Syaoran walked weakly over to a computer terminal. "No surprise you couldn't catch me. You people are too stupid to crack a few codes...Err, no slight intended." He typed in several commands, and brought up the Krytos Emporium data. "Sakura, go ahead and tell them everything I told you last night. This'll take a while, plus I'll need to provide the proof." And so Sakura launched into the tale while Syaoran worked fervently at the computer, typing in commands and codes. As Sakura finished the story, the man who had interrupted, and whom Syaoran had decided was her brother, snorted. "I don't believe it." He said. Syaoran whirled out of his seat, seething. "Touya, shut up and listen for a minute!" Sakura shouted, taking everyone by surprise. "I'm not a liar, and I trust Syaoran. He didn't bomb those places." Syaoran turned back to the terminal, then typed in a few words. "Bingo" He said, clapping his hands together. "All the data from Binring BioMed. Here. Read everything. I'm physically capable of all of those stunts." He winced, and slowly pulled out the bullet. "Hmm. Standard .57 Magnum. Nothing compared to what they were using on me." For a few minutes, the room was in total silence. Then Touya stood up and walked over to Syaoran, and thrust his hand forward. "I'm sorry for doing what I did. You're one helluva fighter, Syaoran." Syaoran smiled and shook his hand, then turned to the man who had shot him. "Since when was Sakura an object? Since when did she say she was in love with you, or reflected the feelings you hold for her?" Syaoran pressed the man against the wall. "Ermm...ehehehehehehe...gotta go now, buh-bye." And with that the man tore off. Everybody sweatdropped, but shrugged it off. Syaoran sighed, and let his arms drop to his side, then leaned against the wall, staring out across the city, when he noticed the first sign. "Huh? What the...Binring!" He jumped through the window, and somehow ran down the wall. The others ran down and jumped into their cars and chased after him. Syaoran arrived at the scene and was mortified at what he saw. "Kashin, shorai!" He screamed, throwing a blast of fire into the young man who was blasting rockets into the mayor's office. "Urgh!" The man was knocked into the wall, but otherwise emerged unscathed from the attack. As the FBI cars pulled up, Syaoran shouted "Let me take care of him." They backed down, but had their guns handy just in case. Syaoran rammed the man into the wall, then kicked him in the groin, and danced back out of the way of his attacks. "Kinto, what are you doing here?!" Syaoran shouted. "No reason YOU need to know." Kinto spat, then tackled Syaoran. Syaoran kicked him off, then flipped up, and delivered a snap-kick to his chest. Kinto was knocked back slightly, then charged Syaoran and thrust his hand into his stomach, then lifted him up into the air and tossed him into the wall. Syaoran stood up, bleeding from multiple places at once, staring at Kinto. "How could you?!" He screamed, then drew his sword and a handful of cards. "Windy, Water, come forth!" He screamed, and the two spirits joined forces and attacked Kinto. Syaoran's tears hit the ground as he stared up at Kinto. "You're supposed to be dead." "Well I'm not, and if you're done wasting your time...WHAT THE?! I can't get free!" Syaoran glared at Kinto. "Of course not. You didn't think you could surpass your older brother in abilities?" Syaoran leapt into the air, and pulled of a series of punches and kicks that made Kinto's head snap each time. "Can't fight fair, can you brother?" Syaoran called back the spirits, and charged his brother.

Kinto's POV

Kinto dropped into a stance, ready to grab his brother and flip him over onto his back. Syaoran stopped short, and executed a back flip, slamming both feet into Kinto's chin. His head snapped up, and as he moved to glare at his brother a sharp pain erupted in his gut. He doubled over in pain, but rolled under the next blow. He leapt up onto his feet, and executed a roundhouse that connected with Syaoran's jaw. He watched as Syaoran spun in the air. Suddenly, Syaoran bounced off the ground and landed a spin kick to Kinto's head. Kinto spun in the air, and landed heavily on the ground.

Next Time:

Syaoran Voice-over: Hey, Syaoran here. Well, the battle between me and my brother rages on, but what's this?! Krytos Emporium has announced it's new creation, the 'perfect human.' Unfortunately, their specimen's escaped. And you can pretty much guess from there. Well, that's comin up next on Wanted Man!
