"Okay thank you." Ahmed said happily hanging up the phone, this was going a lot better then he had thought it would "Okay men we're moving out, we've got the exact location of Li and Tiger"

"Good work.you might just get your promotion after all, well when we get rid of Chin anyways" a man said, laughing as the others headed out for the biggest capture in years.



After talking with Eriol, Syaoran and he separated with some men to do what was needed of them. Making sure no one was a head of them Syaoran signaled his men to move out all knowing what to do. After setting the bombs they were to leave immediately not stopping for nothing or no one, it was a simple plan but even those had glitches. Pressing the timer of the bomb he pressed it to the pipe before moving on, Tiger and all he had would go up in an amazing firework. He came to a halt when voices could be heard ahead of him.

"NO you idiot we have to leave now" Tiger yelled angrily making his men pack up all the drugs he had in wear house "Get moving you imbeciles" he shouted making Syaoran smirk 'he thinks he's going something where' he thought setting the last timer. Taking off the safety on his two guns he look to see that there was at least ten men in the room. well that was what he could see "For you wolf" he murmured disappearing around the corner.

"You!" a guy gasped looking at Syaoran who smirked before knocking him out cold, he pulled him behind a box and dropped him there 'one' he thought walking slowly towards the others.

A guy on a ledge was looking around his eyes bulged out seeing a man take out one of theirs, he opened his mouth to yell but his feet buckled beneath him "Nice try" Eriol whispered picking up his gun, he looked at Syaoran and nodded before going back to what was at hand.

"Hey you got those boxes over there" Tiger ordered angry at how slow they were moving at this rate they wouldn't be able to leave until one hour time, the man nodded scurrying not wanting to get on the bad side of his leader.

"We've got company," he stammered looking at a man's body lying lifeless on the ground behind the box.

"Find the trespasser now and kill him" Tiger shouted setting his gun, as he looked around him backing up. "Who ever you are had better come out" he shouted when a man jumped from out of a spot he didn't wait before he started to fire not realizing it was one of his own man.

"Nice shot, Tiger" Syaoran laughed having thrown the man out, he moved behind the boxes keeping a close eye on him.

"Li.well come on out and say hi, why are you hiding?" Tiger said cautiously nodding to his men who moved about.

"You think me stupid? Think again" Syaoran replied looking up, Eriol nodded putting on a silencer. Tiger watched as two more of his men fell and they still didn't know where they were.

"He's over here" A man yelled from behind Syaoran who moved out of the way fast enough to evade the bullets.

"Kill him now" Tiger growled running to where Syaoran was.

"Don't move" a man said from behind Eriol who cursed under his breath raising up his hands he turned around slowly smiling innocently.

"Your stupid you know" he pointed out looking at the large guy who raised a brow at him, he didn't get it, he was the one with the gun.

"How's that?" Eriol quickly jump kicked him making him stumbled back only to meet Eriol's fist in his face.

"That's how" Eriol answered smiling as he set the first bomb and walked off, this was turning out to be a great night.

Syaoran rolled out from under the truck and ran ignoring the guys shooting at him as he pressed the button making the truck and the one behind it explode sending men flying all over the place. "I'll kill you if it's the last thing I do" Tiger yelled furiously seeing his life's work go up in flames.

"Come on then" Syaoran yelled setting off another bomb making men scatter all over the place for cover.

"I'm coming why don't you come out and face me like a man" he challenged and Syaoran couldn't pass up a challenge, he moved out from behind his hiding place only to dodge Tiger's badly aimed bullets.

"You're a liar to add on to all the other things" Syaoran spat venomously hold his gun tightly making Tiger laugh crazily, but also from the fact that he was out of bullets.

"Come let me kill you so I can go and take your beautiful cherry blossom" Tiger mocked licking his lips as he loaded his gun two other explosions going off in the building but he ignored them. "Such a nice supple body, hmmm I can't wait to sink my teeth in her"

"You'll never set eye on her again" Syaoran growled coming out from behind the wall, he and Tiger started to fire at each other running towards one another until their guns clicked repeatedly, throwing it aside they jumped at each other but Tiger was the first to land a punch sending Syaoran flowing back but he back flipped landing on his feet. "You surprise me," he mocked wiping the blood from his jaw.

"You underestimated me" Tiger replied using his hands to call Syaoran forward as he waited in a stance.

"That won't happen again" Syaoran took his offer and walked slowly forward tired of waiting Tiger leaped forward but Syaoran dodge his kick punching him in the gut. Tiger grunted stepping back but charged stupidly trying to land a kick on Syaoran who easily dodged them.

"Stand still you child" Tiger ordered when Syaoran back flipped landing on a box that shattered when Tigers leg went through it an explosion sent both of them flying forward, tiger landing on his back and Syaoran on his chest.

"Xiao Lang, we have to go" Eriol shouted from behind them jumping back to avoid the pieces of the falling roof, fire engulfed the area they were in forming a circle around tiger and Syaoran.

"NO this isn't over" Tiger growled pointing at gun at Syaoran, he smirked pressing the trigger not noticing a large piece of roof falling towards him.



Sakura.

Max was trying to avoid skidding and the cars on the highway as he rode in the rain towards the warehouse, Alex and Tomoyo not far behind. Sakura was growing impatient wondering if this was the fastest they could but she knew that Max was doing his best to keep them alive it would do no good if they were to die. She looked back as they sped pasted two fire trucks. There sirens telling people to move out of the way. She looked up at the sky and saw that the way they were going was lighted by something red and smoke.dear god no "Max hurry, something isn't right" she pleaded holding back tears, god wouldn't take Syaoran away from her would he? She hoped not oh she hoped not.

"Please, please good lord please make them be all right" Tomoyo prayed when they sped passed the gate, but the site before her almost made her cry out in panic. Right before them was numerous police; swat teams, helicopters, news crews and fireman.

Max skidded to a stop and Sakura flew off the bike ripping her soaked prom dress, crown forgotten on her wet hair (god only knows how it survived Max's riding) as she pushed passed the news crew trying to get to the front, Tomoyo following behind. "Hey watch it kid" a man yelled angrily trying to steady his camera but Sakura didn't hear him, as all possible conclusions raced through her mind.

"Sakura slow down" Tomoyo shouted pushing through all the people but Sakura was all ready going through the yellow line pushing the police who tried to hold her back. She saw the ruined wear house before her and burst into tears shaking her head. Her eyes glued to the red flames before her "Oh god no, please.NO" she screamed running towards it, almost tripping over her dress, police chasing her from behind.

"Hey you crazy girl" one shouted running after Sakura as others held a crying Tomoyo back.

"What is she doing?" Ahmed gasped starting to run after Sakura leaving all the men looking at him strangely, they were sure that Li hadn't made it out since they had the entire place surrounded but still wanted to make sure. Sakura went flying backwards, when another explosion shook the ground.

"Look, at that girl. Who do you think she is?" a cameraman asked zooming in.

"I don't care who she is, just get a really good close it"

"What the hell, are you doing girl? Do you want to get killed?" a man yelled gripping Sakura's arm tightly, pulling her to feet her feet.

"You let go of me.that's what I want" Sakura moaned her tears mixing with the rain, "That's what I want" she whispered sinking to the ground, her hands covering her face as her body was wrecked with awful sobs.

"Get her away from her" Ahmed shouted but the man just looked at him lost, he had no idea why she was crying so. "Sakura, are you okay?" he asked bending down to her, when she didn't answer him he touched her hand.

"Get away from me you, you" Sakura stammered glaring at him, "This is what you wanted, I hope your happy now that you killed him" she hissed venomously getting ready to attack him but felt her self hugged from behind. She was about to pull away when she heard crying and knew it was Tomoyo.

"Sakura he's gone. My Eriol is gone.what am I going to do" Tomoyo cried. She couldn't remember a time when she wasn't with him and she couldn't imagine living with out him and she meant it literally.

"Oh Tomoyo" Sakura whispered turning to hug her, crying on each other's shoulder. Ahmed stood up frowning; she was supposed to be crying on his shoulder not anyone else's. It seems that even taking Li out of the way wouldn't make her open her heart to him.

"I can't live with out him I can't, he's all I've got.god don't make me live without him" Sakura choked hoarsely "I've got nothing but him, I've got nothing," she repeated over and over as Tomoyo rocked her back and forth still crying.

"Tomoyo, lets get out of here" Alex said bending down to them hiding his grief behind a mask. He couldn't believe they were gone it was simply impossible, Syaoran and Eriol always found away to get out of the impossible. She looked up at him with tear-stained eyes and nodded numbly still holding unto Sakura who had gone suddenly quite it wasn't until Max went for her that he noticed she had black out.

"You can't leave here," Ahmed warned pointing at them, his men walking up behind them.

"You listen to me, you've got no reason to hold us here and if you do you'll have a law suit to worry about. Why don't you go and gloat about your victory" Tomoyo bit out severely standing straight, her shoulders erect even though it took all she had to hold it. She, Alex and Max, who was carrying Sakura turned and walked away leaving a fuming Ahmed but he still had one thing to be happy about that was that after all these years he finally got Li. "And soon I'll have Kinomoto Sakura too" he added picking up her broken crown.

Later.

Rose looked at her sleeping child before her and sighed sadly turning away, why must she always fell pain? "My poor, poor child" she whispered brokenly walking to the side where Tomoyo was sleeping, after exhausting her self- crying she finally fell asleep beside Sakura.

"Any news?" she asked looking at Alex in the door, as she turned the light out.

"No nothing, I've tried every number I know, the only place I haven't called is his mother. I wasn't able to get any of the numbers Wolf had in his office because his body and all his belongings left Japan for Hong Kong three hours ago" Alex stated leaning heavily against the door, it was at least past 11 and he'd been calling every number he could find.

"You should get some sleep there's nothing more that you can do, I'll stay here with them I've got no where else to be" Rose stated motherly trying to smile at the young man, but she couldn't not after hearing the horrible news. They were two great men and it would be a shame if they were really gone.

"All right, you know where to get in touch with me if anything changes" Alex said before leaving, this were just getting worst and worst.

Next day.

Sakura tossed and turned in her sleep, her dreams invaded by nightmares. Her eyes snapped open as she gasped for breaths, she looked around the room not knowing where she was and noticed that it was Syaoran's room. A smile crept on her face expecting to see him walk out of the bathroom in a towel or dressed to go out but then all the images of last night flashed through her mind and before she knew it she burst into tears "NO.NO" she whispered shaking her head from side to side not wanting to believe it. She wasn't alone again, she wasn't, and she didn't want to be alone again. He wasn't supposed to leave, he wasn't but he did like everyone else that she had loved, they all end up leaving her alone. "Syaoran.no god please" she screamed burying her head in the pillow, only to be surrounded by his familiar scent. Her choking sobs muffled out by the pillow, but Tomoyo and Rose heard her and came rushing into the bedroom. Only to see Sakura crying her heart out, and Tomoyo burst into tears leaning up against that wall as she squeezed her eyes shut.

"Sakura sweetie" Rose whispered touching Sakura's trembling shoulders, "Sakura baby" she shrugged rose's touch away wanting to be alone but when she looked up at Rose, her eyes red and puffy from lack of sleep she couldn't help but bury her head in her arms and cry.

"He's gone, he left me.he left me.he promised he wouldn't leave me but he did just like my father, just like my father, he left" Rose could only listen as she rocked Sakura back and forth, Tomoyo had collapsed to the floor only to be lifted into Max's arm who carried her to the bed hushing her like a babe.



Elsewhere.

"What did you find?" Ahmed asked impatiently sitting at what was once Mr. Chin's desk but he had disappeared along with his family.

"Fifteen bodies and four badly burnt ones but none match Li, Tigers or Hirragizawa" he stated softly making him growl in anger, how in the hell had Li escaped him this time? He didn't understand. "We also found out that their leader Wolf's body and things left around the same time as the fire last night.

Far away.

"Do you think he'll wake up soon?" a female voice asked worriedly looking at the figure in the bed.

"I don't know, I was able to get the bullet out of his shoulder and he didn't lose a lot of blood.
