A/N #2: I know you guys have been waiting for this chapter so, here it is. I'm sorry that I couldn't get this to you guys faster, but I the idea I initially had for this chapter conflicted with the other chapters, so I had to find a new approach for this chapter. I hope this idea doesn't have any problems. Again, I apologize to everyone for making you wait so long. I have a pretty good idea on how this is going to end, so I'll try to get it to you sooner. I want to thank everyone who has stuck with me so far. You're constant requests to encourage me to write is what fuels me. Thank you for your support. That's all I have to say for now. Hope you enjoy this chapter.

Disclaimer I do not, in any way, shape, or form, own CCS. The reason being that Clamp does.

Out of all Places, It had to be Hong Kong

CHAPTER 14

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Where we left off . . .

Jun-Tien and Xiana were frantically searching for the owner of the voice. Jun-Tien held Sakura's arms a bit tighter and called out to the mysterious voice.

"C'mon show yourself, coward." As soon as Jun-Tien said that, footsteps could be heard approaching them. Moments later, the owner of the voice stepped away from the shadows to reveal himself.

"Coward? I am admit that I am many things, but I am certainly not a coward." Syaoran said. "After all, I'm not the one using another person as a shield. So I would say that you would most likely fit into that category."

"I don't need to shield myself from you. If you're challenging me to a fight, then I accept." Jun-Tien said. He then shoved Sakura towards Xiana and got himself into a fighting stance. Xiana was able to grab hold of Sakura in a tight hold to make sure she doesn't get involved in the fight.

Syaoran got into a fighting stance as well. Soon, Syaoran and Jun-Tien circled each other, waiting for the other to make the first move.

"What's the matter Syaoran? If you were afraid of getting hurt, you shouldn't have made the challenge." Jun-Tien taunted.

"I wouldn't get too cocky now. You're gonna pay for ever laying your filthy paws on Sakura. I'll make sure of it."

"You may think my paws are filthy, but I'll show just how dangerous these can be." Without a moment to spare, Jun-Tien went on the offensive with a barrage of punches.

Although the delivery of the punches were lightning fast, Syaoran's blocks were done with equal alacrity. Once Jun-Tien noticed that his punches weren't having enough effect, he threw in some kicks into his combos.

This time, Syaoran was able to block Jun-Tien's attacks, but there were some that were able to penetrate through Syaoran's defenses.

Thinking that he had an advantage, Jun-Tien started to increase the force into his attacks. Quickening the pace, he unloaded a series of kicks and punches to Syaoran.

Although Syaoran was still on the defensive, he was waiting for the perfect moment to make his move. Syaoran had to admit, Jun-Tien's attacks were quick, but he knew that Jun-Tien couldn't maintain his attack for a long period of time.

Gradually, Syaoran's strategy was coming into play. Syaoran noticed that Jun-Tien's attacks were beginning to lag. Once Syaoran spotted the opportunity, he unleashed his own offense.

Syaoran let out his own series of punches and kicks, but since Jun-Tien used most of his energy into his offense, most of Syaoran's attacks hit their mark.

Jun-Tien attempted to regain his advantage, but Syaoran's attacks didn't provide the opening needed to make the attack.

Soon, Jun-Tien was showing signs of weariness. Syaoran was about to give Jun-Tien the final blow until a loud scream filled the his ears.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Syaoran looked to the side and saw Xiana holding a knife just below Sakura's throat.

"SAKURA!" Syaoran tried to take a step closer, but that just caused Xiana to hold the blade closer to Sakura's throat.

"Stop where you are Syaoran, or I swear she's gonna have a cut from one ear to the other." Xiana threatened.

"Xiana, just put the blade down. No one needs to get hurt."

"Hurt? Do you know how hurt I was to realize that you were dating? Do you know the pain I felt when I kept seeing you two together? I have shown you that I was willing to offer you my love, but you just threw it out the window like useless trash. We would've been together if it weren't for her."

"No, you're wrong Xiana. Sakura and I would have been together sooner or later." Syaoran stated. "I was planning to leave Hong Kong the moment I graduated. My heart has always belonged to Sakura."

"No, I don't believe you. You could never fall for someone as meddlesome as her."

"Believe it Xiana." Syaoran slowly approached Xiana, as she slightly loosened her hold on Sakura. "Now, if you'll just- ugh!" Syaoran clenched his teeth together in pain as he felt a rush of pain erupt on his side. He looked at where the source of the pain was located and he discovered that his side was cut and blood was trickling down from it.

"You shouldn't have let your guard down Syaoran." Jun-Tien said angrily. "Now you'll have to face my wrath." Jun-Tien then pulled out another one of his knives.

The cut on Syaoran's side was pretty deep, and he was gradually weakening as his blood flowed from it.

"Jun-Tien! What the hell are you doing? We agreed that as long as you had Sakura, then no harm will come to Syaoran."

"Well, here's something you should know." Jun-Tien said. "I lied. I'm sorry Xiana, but Syaoran has caused me too many problems to just let him go without a scratch. He needs to pay for what he has done to me."

Jun-Tien looked at the weakened Syaoran, with a sinister look on his face.

"Farewell Syaoran. I had to admit, you put up a real good fight. But you should know that someone from my clan always gets what they want." Jun-Tien then threw the knife in Syaoran's direction.

Syaoran was trying to gather enough energy to dodge the knife. All of sudden the was shoved aside from the projectile. He fell to the hard concrete with a painful thud. When he looked to see who pushed him out of the way, and was shocked to see Xiana only a few feet away with a knife impaled in her stomach.

"XIANA!" Sakura yelled.

"Hmm, didn't expect that to happen." Jun-Tien said nonchalantly. "Oh well, she was a pest anyway." He looked at both of the figures still on the ground in front of him and gave them one last glance before he turned to Sakura. "Looks like it's just you and me now."

"Get away from me." Sakura tried to at least punch him where it hurts, but he still had enough energy to block it. "How can you just brush Xiana's act like it was nothing?"

"Easy. She was just a pawn. A tool that you use to fix a problem. Now that I already fixed everything that needs to be fixed, she could go back to the toolbox." Jun-Tien stepped closer and closer to Sakura's retreating form.

Sakura tried to get away from Jun-Tien but still stay near Syaoran at the same time. But her plans were cut short when she felt her back press against a tree.

"You got no where else to go Sakura. Now why don't you just be a good girl and . . ." Jun-Tien was suddenly cut short of what he was about to say.

His eyes were wide when he fell to his side. Sakura looked to see what caused him to fall, and she could see one of his knives sticking out of his back. Sakura looked out to see who through the knife. Her eyes widened to see Syaoran down on his knee panting from all of the energy he used to throw the knife. Sakura immediately rushed to Syaoran's side and tried to keep him from losing consciousness.

"Well, that's one way to shut him up." Syaoran tried to laugh, but pain instantly surged through him. "Are you alright?"

"I should be asking you that. You're a mess."

"Nothing I can't handle. Though, maybe you should check on Xiana. She took a hit for me." Syaoran said. The last thing he could hear before slipping into unconsciousness was Sakura's voice, mixed with sirens that were fast approaching.
