Chap. Eighteen: "When your plan back fires on you." (I couldn't think of anything else)



Author's note: Well here's another chap. I hope you like it.I don't know if I'll be updating fast because of how school started I have so many notes to take and homework I don't know how I'm going to juggle everything especially Psychology I read so much that my eyes are screaming for mercy. All I ask it that you guys be patient with me until I get the hang of things I know that most of you are feeling the same way as me and my mom is only giving me two hours on the computer a day isn't that awful? I don't know how I'm going to survive somehow.



The house.

"Thank you Rika" Carey said smiling at the girl who gave them their dinner.

"No problem you won't be here for much longer, hey Danny" Rika spoke looking at the little boy.

"Hiya" Danny said playing with his toy as Rika left the room; she walked down the halls holding the tray to her chest. Life hasn't been the same at all since well since that night, she placed the tray on the counter and sat beside the girls who were watching the news.

"Who else is dead?" Rika asked sitting between Mei Lin and Chiharu, she was over because Takashi was out with the guys.

"Five wolves and a restaurant harboring Tigers" Mei Lin answered resting her head on Tomoyo's shoulder who hugged her, she was getting better she still ached.

"When will all this killing stop, it's horrible I fear going to school. I don't feel safe at all unless I'm here with you guys or with Takashi" Chiharu stated hugging Naoko and Rika.

"I hope some and I pray that Sakura is hanging on" Naoko whispered, they all missed Sakura terribly and Syaoran well.Syaoran was colder then usual and he was making sure that any Tiger who crossed his path paid.



'Well things got worst, all over Tokyo there was numerous explosions and killings this was by far the worst gang war they had ever experienced. The police were scared for their lives and people stayed clear of dangerous areas. But it was a shock to many that it wasn't bums and people who carried themselves bad were dying. no it was the rich and powerful men in society. Unfortunately for me I failed to know the extents of this war until the end, I didn't know what I would I have to go through or what I would face. If I were ever told I would be doing some of the things I did in those few months I would have laughed my head off and say 'Those things only happen in movies, boy how wrong I was. I felt bad because Mei Lin left and I didn't get a chance to say bye to her.

Japan Inter.

Mei Lin gave everyone a hug who came to see her off, she had to go home and explain to her family and she had to do it now but she was leaving this soon because Syaoran and Eriol ordered her, she didn't even get a chance to say bye to Sakura.

"We'll miss you but I promise that we'll come and visit" Naoko stated hugging Mei Lin tightly, they had all become like sisters. "I'm coming to Hong Kong for college"

"Me too" Rika spoke smiling as she gave her a hug. "It's not good bye"

"Yeah. I'll miss you guys terribly. Promise me you'll all keep safe?" Mei Lin spoke not wanting to cry as she gave Chiharu a hug.

"We promise now while your home look for all the killer clubs" Chiharu stated making her laugh.

"I'll do that," Mei Lin laughed smiling as she gave her best friend/ sister a hug. "Till we meet in Hong Kong I know that your mother will be worried"

"I know I'll be home in no time" Tomoyo replied looking at Mei Lin with unshed tears. " I pray that everything goes well" Mei Lin nodded waving bye she walked toward Syaoran, Eriol and Mika who were ahead of her.

"Bye brat" Mika said receiving a slap from Mei Lin, "Tell auntie I said hi, see you Hong Kong cousin" Mei Lin nodded smiling they hugged each other tightly before she went to Eriol.

"Bye Eriol keep Tomoyo safe and him too" Mei Lin said pointing at Syaoran.

"I will" Eriol stated smiling charming as he gave her a tight hug.

"Give mother I the note I gave you and stay out of trouble," Syaoran warned glaring at Mei Lin who smiled sweetly in return.

"Naturally bye my pain in the ass cousin I'll miss you, bring Sakura home with you or don't bother coming" Mei Lin said throwing her arms around his neck, Syaoran gave her a tight hug before she left down the escalator.

"I wish Tomoyo would have gone" Eriol sighed turning around to look at what was left of their close friends, no doubt Mika and Alex's family would call them to return in two days flat and the other family would find out and put them on lock down.

"She'll be leaving soon like the rest of us now let's go and get Sakura back so this can be over with" Syaoran stated walking off with Eriol beside him.



The night of the trade.

I laid my head against the damped wall of my cage; my back ached from all my unclean cuts and bruises. I long to take a bath but most of all to hold Syaoran and have him tell me that everything will be all right, I know for a fact that his wife isn't being treated wrongfully. I snapped shut my eyes when the door opened letting the bright lights as I inched closer to the wall.

"Its time get up you wench before I drag you" a man yelled walking over to Sakura, he undid the chains around her and roughly pulled her to her feet.

"If you drag me I won't be able to walk on my own and that will no doubt cause you problems" Sakura whispered trying to keep from not passing out from the lack of food, her body was weak and ached all over. She trembled and tried to keep up all she had on was her bra and bottom from the club.

"You've got a point there but frankly I don't really give a fuck" the man said but slowed his pace so she was able to walk on her own.



Syaoran leaned against the expedition that contained Tiger's wife, Eriol at his side. There was three cars in all with there best fighters ready for anything but he know that tiger wouldn't try anything stupid.at least not yet. All he wanted right now was to hold Sakura in his arms and tell her how much he loved and missed her; he was going to make Tiger pay even if it cost him his life.

"They should be here any moment" Eriol whispered pulling his jacket over his two guns as if on cue two limousines drove through the gates of the warehouses heading towards them.

"Do you see them?" Syaoran asked smirking; Eriol nodded signaling to their people, Tiger was stupid after all. Carey jumped when the door opened revealing Li as they called him, she slowly got out knowing that she was going to be sent back to her husband.the one who didn't love her, she looked at him and smiled slightly knowing that he couldn't wait to get his Sakura back. "You know what I said don't run or you'll be sorry"

"Hai I know" Carey whispered jumping when he slammed the door shut, she saw Tiger get out ways from them followed by a smaller person, no doubt Sakura.

"All right get moving" Eriol spoke smiling at her, she gulped and started walking slowly Sakura moving at the same pace.

"When Carey is close enough take out the girl" Tiger whispered to a man who nodded smiling, Tiger watched Sakura slowly walk towards Li, he was amazed that she hadn't passed out yet but no Wolf bitch he had pass his tracks was a weakling.

As Carey get closer to Sakura she was able to see her, it was obvious that she was younger then her. She knew that the girl was still in high school, which meant that Syaoran was also young but probably around her age. As they get closer she saw for herself how beautiful she really was but by the appearance of her she could see that Tiger hadn't kept his word.

"I'm sorry," she whispered looking Sakura just as they met, she could see that she wasn't at all taken care of like she was and a bile rose in her throat.

"Don't apologize I'm just glad I'm going home" Sakura whispered gripping her empty gun, she smiled slight before continuing. Her heart began to race that closer she got to Syaoran, he looked so handsome.she couldn't help that tears that started to stream down her cheek and she had to fight to keep conscious.

"He didn't keep his word." Syaoran growled, as Sakura got closer, he could see in the way she dragged her self but she always walked with her head held high and with confidence. Slowly he moved towards her, Eriol swallowed trying to keep his anger down.

"Syaoran." Sakura gasped trying to walk faster, her vision blurred by tears.



"Now get her now" Tiger ordered smiling sinisterly.

"Now." Eriol ordered seeing Syaoran almost reach Sakura, everything seem to happen all at once, tigers men opened fire but Eriol and the others beat them to it. Syaoran shouted seeing Sakura fall as he ran towards her. Carey stopped caught in the cross fire not hearing Tiger shouting at her, everything around seem to blur as sirens could be heard in distance.

Everything was happening just as it did in his dream, even the rain as he clutched to Sakura. Whose body were pale and cuts and bruises apparent? "Sakura wake up" he whispered shaking her. "Come on wake up"

"Syaoran .god.I missed you" Sakura cried trying to keep consciousness, he searched her body but found no shot wound. "I'm sorry.I'm sorry"

"Shhh.it's all right" Syaoran soothed hugging her tightly.

"No.it's not I just wanted to help please don't be mad at me" Sakura pleaded her eyes still closed as she held unto his shirt.

"How can I be mad at you.I'm too in love with you" Syaoran whispered gathering her in his arms. Sakura's eyes snapped open wondering if she heard him right bit the smile on his face told her she heard right.

"I love you." she whispered smiling as she brushed her lips with his. (Weird how they were doing this in the middle of a cross fire LOL

"Rest sweet you need your strength for when I yell at you about what you did" Syaoran whispered smiling down at her, Sakura smiled falling into a deep sleep. "Come on lets got our here" he yelled to Eriol who opened the door for him.

"All right we'll go out the back way" Eriol replied getting in the front with the driver, who sped off to the house where Wei was waiting for them.



"Why? Oh god" Carey cried gasping for breaths as she looked up at Tiger who held her.

"I'm soo sorry it wasn't suppose to happen this way" Tiger whispered his hand over her shot wound on her stomach. 'Curse you Li I will enjoy killing you' he thought bitterly.

"You're. a fool.Tige." Carey whispered but wasn't able to finished as all went black, her last thought was how much she envied Sakura.

"NO. NO I will kill him" Tiger yelled holding Carey to his chest, he saw Li lift the girl up but that didn't mean she was dead and he prayed to god that she was.



Syaoran sat in the kitchen waiting to Wei to finish his examination of Sakura; everyone was in better moods now that she was back. All they had to do now was finish what was started all those years ago with is his father.

"I can see your deep in thought" Eriol said snapping out of his reverie, Syaoran nodded but didn't say anything. "Tomoyo called Mei Lin, she's happy that Sakura is safe and said to kick Tigers ass for her. I guess she and her parents worked things out"

"Yeah I made sure to call them and explain before she got there. We'll be out of here before the month is done no later" Syaoran said looking at the glass Eriol gave him that had spirits in it.

"What about Sakura? Is she coming with you?" Eriol asked taking a drink and knowing that Syaoran needed one as well.

"I don't know I haven't told her anything yet," Syaoran answered looking at her chain in his hand.

"But you do want her to come right?"

"Yeah of course I want her to but I don't know if she'll want to leave what she has here" Syaoran answered when Wei walked into the kitchen.

"She's asleep, she should be as good as new in the morning but the bruises she has will need time to heal. She was just exhausted and just needs to rest" Wei stated knowing that Syaoran was dying to hear if she was all right. He added when Syaoran gave him the look "HE didn't touch her, she told me he wouldn't come near since she knocked him across the head with her gun"

"That's Sakura for ya" Syaoran said smiling slightly. "Thank you Wei," he added shaking the man's hand.

"Anytime I'll be seeing ya'll" he said taking his leave.

"It's late so I'll see you in the morning ok" Eriol said putting his glass in the sink, Syaoran nodded taking the last drop of his drink. He looked at Sakura's chain running his finger over the engraved words 'Maybe I should ask her to be mine after this is over' he thought getting up. He checked on her seeing that Tomoyo and the girls did a good job of cleaning her up before he headed to his room to shower and go to bed.

Later.

Sakura woke up in the dark room sweating, her nightmares came back.after soo long they came back. She wiped the tears from her face and struggled out of bed noticing that she was clean no doubt the girl's did it she would have to thank them tomorrow. She opened the bedroom door and walked slowly down the hall to Syaoran's room.she had to see him if only just for a moment. Opening his room down she walked in and closed it quietly before walking to his bed, she looked down at his sleeping form and smiled it's amazing how he looked so unbelievably cute and childlike when he was asleep. When she reached down to touch him his eyes snapped open grabbing her hand in a tight grip making her wince.

"Sakura.Sakura what are you doing here?" Syaoran asked immediately letting go of her hand as he sat up shirtless. "Are you okay?"

"I'm sorry" Sakura whispered looking down, she didn't want him to be upset with her.she just wanted to see him. "I'll go."

"No wait" Syaoran yelled grabbing her wrist in a firm but painless grip. "I don't go.how are you feeling?" he asked making her sit beside him.

"I'm fine.just a little sore" Sakura answered trying to keep her eyes to his and not on his body.god she wanted to touch him. Syaoran looked at her and smiled as he ran his thumb across her jaw.

"That's good.Tiger is going to pay" Syaoran spoke looking her right in the eye.

"No you don't have to go after him" Sakura objected not wanting him to get hurt no matter of how good she knew he was.she couldn't bare losing him like how she lost her family.

"But I have to it's not only you he has to pay for but for every thing else he and his father has done" Syaoran answered taking her hand in his, Sakura sighed wanting to know so badly how deep this went but she wouldn't ask until he felt like he wanted to tell her.

"I understand but you will let me help right?" Sakura asked as he fingered the cut on her arm.

"I'll think about it" Syaoran stated looking at her before Sakura could object he added "You should go back to bed you need your strength"

"Make love to me" Sakura said kissing him softly on the lips wrapping her arms around his neck. Syaoran broke away from the kiss moving her back; as much as he wanted to he couldn't because she was still hurt.

"No your hurt I don't want to hurt you more" Syaoran replied ignoring his yearning for her.

"I'm fine I don't need to heal I just need to feel you" Sakura stated hugging his tightly.

"You can sleep here with me but nothing more" Syaoran spoke running his hand through her hair, she was making this hard for him; he wanted her as much as she wanted him even more.

"No I don't want to just sleep with you" Sakura cried rubbing her cheek against his warm chest placing her hand over his heart. "Don't let me beg you.please," she said softly. Syaoran closed his eyes feeling her warm tears on his chest. "Don't you want me anymore?" she asked that did it Syaoran lifted her face to his where his mouth crushed her lips in a hungry kiss one she responded to with all her might.

"No. I do want you.I want you so bad" Syaoran said between kisses. "I just don't want to add on to your pain," he added breaking away from the kiss trying to catch his breath.

"You won't hurt me.you could never hurt me I love you too much" Sakura clarified brushing her lips against his. Syaoran gently pulled her close to him kissing her deeply as he unbuttoned the t-shirt she had on using his hands to push it over her shoulders.

"Wait." Syaoran whispered breaking away from the kiss, Sakura watched as he got out of bed, wearing cotton pants as usual, he headed towards his bureau opened a small drawer and took something out before walking back. "This" he said showing Sakura her chain. "Should always be with you.I want you never to take it off"

"I'll never take it off" Sakura stated as he fastened it round her neck then placed soft kisses on her neck sending a small tremor through her body.god she missed his kisses.

"If I do anything that hurts tell me" Syaoran whispered laying her against his pillows.

"Your always gentle" Sakura murmured wrapping her arms around his neck, Syaoran groan as he captured her lip fitting them to his as his hand squeezed her breast. Sakura undid the drawstring and push his pants down where Syaoran willingly dispose of them along with her under wear. Sakura moaned when he took her hard nipple in his warm mouth suckling as she moved against his fingers.

Syaoran left her breast rising above her face with a smile on his face. Sakura giggled drawing him towards her as she wrapped her leg around him lifting her hips to meet him as he entered her slick warmness.

'And that night we made love twice (laughs) so much for my being injured, Syaoran was incredibly gentle with me but that didn't make him pleasure me any less I guess that's why I begged for an on core.my body shudders now thinking about it.
