Ne ways on wit da story
"Do you see it Pauline?" Sakura asked softly standing at the door waiting patiently.
"Hai ma'am I've just found them, I'm afraid your papa and Rosa had them packed away" Pauline spoke appearing with a handful of Sakura's old baby blankets for the day bed they had to buy.
"Wonderful, do you think you can wash them for me?" Sakura asked making Pauline nod eagerly as they descended the stairs of the attic.
"Oh we all waited for the day when we would pull these out again. Kari is such a doll" Pauline spoke making Sakura smile nodding.
Syaoran cringed walking out of the room with Kari raised in the air way from him. He couldn't believe they had left him to baby sit, and now the brat wouldn't be quiet, "SAKURA" he yelled over the noise at the front of the steps. "I won't be any good to anyone if you make me go deaf" he spoke trying to get Kari to stop crying but that only made her scream even more. "Please, stop crying" he begged not seeing that he had an audience. "I'll get you your own guns, special made. I'll do anything just please stop crying" he was about to yell again when Sakura appeared at the top of the steps.
"What's the matter?" she asked frantically running down the stairs.
"How do you turn her off? She just started to scream," he snapped making her laugh reaching them. Sakura took Kari in her arms and hugged her rocking her back and forth, making her stop crying.
"All you have to do is hug her, what'd you do to scare her?" Sakura asked trying not to laugh at her husband's irritated expression.
"She went for my gun and I yelled," he answered sighing when she stop crying. Mei Lin and Mika's laughter cut through the room making Syaoran spin around.
"So Li isn't invincible after all, welcome to fatherhood," Mika laughed making Syaoran glare at him coldly.
"Oh my Xiao Lang, come on all you have to do is hug her. That's why she loves Eriol and Jamie so, they play with her" Mei Lin pointed out looking at her cousin's face helplessly.
"You two are lucky your family, I'm tempted to shoot both you" Syaoran growled but they only laughed harder knowing he was only kidding.
"Hey you had better watch out and hope Tiger doesn't find about your weakness or he might send toddlers to fight instead of men" Jamie stated jokingly making everyone laugh.
"You just wait, you should hear Rae when she's pissed. You think Mei Lin is bad, you haven't seen or heard anything yet" Syaoran smirked making Jamie shut up and Mika and the others laugh. Kari looked at the man who she was left with, he looked better when he was smiling and not frowning.
"Oh shut up Xiao Lang," Mei Lin growled making Jamie hug her from behind.
"Hah whatever, I bet I'll be able to charm Rae before you get Kari to warm up to you" Jamie pointed out smiling. "Your just like Alex, I don't know how he's going to survive"
"Hey leave me out of this" Alex interrupted softly cringing when he looked at Kari making Rika laugh. "I think you should be giving advice to Takashi and Eriol they'll need it more then me" he continued making Takashi and Eriol gulp.
"Eri!" Kari squealed clapping her hands together making Eriol chuckle winking at her.
"I hope I have a girl," Tomoyo sighed smiling at Kari, Eriol laughed hugging her tightly. He knew he would have no problem with being a father he would love nothing more.
"Yeah, who looks just like you" he whispered placing a kiss on her ear. Syaoran looked at them and frowned. He could get Kari to warm up to him if he wanted besides they had been with her longer then him.
"Come on Xiao Lang, how about another try?" Sakura asked making him look at her. He sighed seeing her pleading expression, and then he noticed when his mother walked into the room.
"Guns, battles and anything dealing with that kind of stuff I've mastered but children" he wince making them laugh holding out his hand reluctantly.
"Come on Xiao Lang, you can't hold her like, that you have to cuddle her" Takashi helped the guys nodding agreement. The looked Syaoran gave them could have killed a thousand men but it made them laugh, loving his predicament. They couldn't believe they were seeing him having trouble just to hold a child, he held her out away from him making her feet dangle beneath her.
"Please follow me," Sakura ordered walking to the living room. "Only me and my husband" she stated seeing everyone turn, they laughed nodding.
"This is going to be something," Rika laughed when Yelen walked up sighing.
"I believe your right" she mused smiling at her son's uneasiness. She had always imagined the day when she was see her son become a father and have many sons like him.
"Hey daddy, is it okay if we go out tonight?" Mei Lin teased ducking behind Jamie when Syaoran glared at her hardcore. Turning his attention from Sakura and Kari to everyone who loved his predicament. "Please?!!"
"Shut up Mei Lin" Syaoran growled tightly when Whitney and Max walked into the room laughing. Syaoran looked at Max but he shook his head in a negative manner making him nod.
"Is Mei Lin begging to chain Jamie to the bed?" Max inquired making everyone laugh. He back up when Mei Lin looked at him aggressively, even Syaoran had to laugh.
"Knowing Mei Lin she's probably already done that, why do you think we had to have her bed change at the house so much?" Syaoran inquired jokingly and this time Mei Lin had to blush.
"If it wasn't take out, it was buying her a new bed" Eriol added making Mei Lin stomp her foot in frustration.
"And that's why my room was at the other end of the house" Mika continued making hall ring with laughter. (Poor Mei Lin)
"I swear, if you, Syaoran, Max and Eriol don't shut up I'm going to beat the hell outta all ya'll" Mei Lin roared stalking out of the room trying to control her fury. Jamie laughed shaking his head at his still unofficial girlfriend and followed her; he knew the best way to calm her down.
"One of these days Mei Lin is going to beat you guys up" Tomoyo warned shaking her head amusedly. Yelen stood in silence having seen how they really carried on when they were down here.
"Yeah, besides I don't believe she changes beds as much as we do" Rika smiled kissing Alex against his jaw. He smiled and winked at her ignoring everyone's laugh.
"And he isn't even denying it" Mika joked placing his hand around Naoko's waist. She looked at him longingly making him kiss her on the temple, "don't worry just a little more time"
"Hey Mei Lin" Jaime called making Mei Lin stop and spin around. "What's the rush?" he asked stopping in front of her.
"No rush I was just waiting for you to catch up" Mei Lin murmured wrapping her arms around his neck an evil smile forming on her lips. "Tell me Chan," she whispered against his lips. "Am I your woman?"
"That's if you want to be," Jamie replied placing his hands on her butt squeezing her to him, making Mei Lin moan enticingly.
"What do you think baka, I don't sleep with every guy I come across ya know" Mei Lin growled making him chuckle against her lips. She looked him in the eyes and winked running her tongue leisurely between his slightly parted ones.
"God why do you do this to me?" Jamie groaned pressing her against the wall. Mei Lin looked at him with such warm eyes that he felt like he was going to melt. She was sure now, she loved him and god she wanted to be with him so badly but did he love her?
"Do you like what I do to you?" she asked softly her fingertips barely touching his cheek.
"No" he answered making her lose her smile abruptly feeling like she was just slapped the face. "I don't like it because every time I want you I can't have you, you aren't mine to want all the time"
"Well guess what?" Mei Lin smiled brightly drawing him down to her lips. "I guess we're even cause I can't have you every time I want you. So to change that, I'm yours to want all the time"
"You can't hold her like that you have to hold her like this" Sakura was saying as she made him hold Kari closer to him. "She's not going puke on you or anything, she's three" she looks at them and smiles.
"Better?" he asked sarcastically, Kari looked at him with sad eyes her lips trembling. "Please don't start crying," he begged softly.
"Mommy," Kari whined reaching for Sakura, this made Syaoran raise a brow at her wondering when this started. Sakura smiled brightly playing with Kari's hair, she noticed that she tend to be uneasy around males.
"Awhile back, don't worry she'll start to call you daddy in no time" she answered moving into his other arms. "Don't be afraid Kari" she whispered soothingly making Kari nod slowly unsurely.
"I don't think she trusts me," Syaoran replied looking into Kari's misty light green eyes. "But your right" he smiled making Sakura raise her brows wondering what she was right about. "She has beautiful green eyes," he answered, she smiled shaking her head in full agreement. "Pretty eyes" he whispered touching Kari's cheek softly making her relax and smile, then giggled when Syaoran wink at her.
"See no woman, girl or baby can resist your charms," Sakura laughed kissing him soundly on the lips.
Ahmed.
He looked at all the files that were on his desk, and sighed running his hand through his hair. He couldn't believe the Wolf was alive it was impossible but he had seen him with his own two eyes. How the hell was it possible for him to escape certain death so much time? "I don't think anyone feels as frustrated as me" he muttered to the window.
"I don't believe your right, I feel the same. He just waltz in here and took all the Wolves with him" Rick spat angrily. Ahmed looked at Rick through the window and mused at how much he remembered him of him self when he had just started. He became a cop to be the best and being the best was putting or killing the leader of the Wolf but he had not been able to. "What are we going to do about him? Ahmed we can throw the wife into jail for traffic obstruction and endangering the lives of innocents"
"I know and you are free to lock her up" Ahmed shrugged turning to look at him amusedly. "That's if you can get close enough to her without getting killed. And let me warn you, you don't have a chance now that the Wolf is back" at this he tossed two folders to him. "That is Li Kawasaki and Fang, both found dead in their car"
Rick looked them over carefully with a frown on his face. "Yeah, so why do we care they are only Wolves"
"Who do you think killed them?" Ahmed yelled angrily. "He did, the cherry blossom and her cubs aren't staying at the house. They are at her house because they kicked them out. And as you can see that didn't go too well with Li"
"How do you know he killed them?"
"Because they show up dead right after he reappears" Ahmed sighed wondering just how clueless he was. "And the bullets found in one of their head matched the same bullet that killed a lot of people"
"Are you telling me that they have their bullets marked or special made?" Rick asked in utter disbelief.
"Exactly, we found a new kind. This one has a dragon on the side which means someone else killed Kawasaki" Ahmed smiled sitting down. "I've come to believe that only important people or leaders have these bullets. The Wolf has a special made gun, as does the cherry blossom and the cousins but they are similar with the carvings on them of the Clan. The new bullet that we found embedded in Kawasaki's head belongs to the leader of the Dragon Clan, Chan Jamie"
"But why is he involved?"
"Close family relations and he has a thing for the black haired bitch" Ahmed answered softly. He would need to find a way to bring them all down at once, but how was he going to do that? And then there was the Blood Sisters.
Tiger.
He frowned watching the men from the television in his room fix his suit. He needed to find a way to make the Wolf and his pack come to him. He would have a better chance to get rid of them if they were on his territory. "What's on your mind?" Ming whispered wrapping her arms around his back.
"Same old, same old total control over Tokyo" Tiger answered making her laugh placing kisses on his scared back. When they said love was blind, in this case it was really blind.
"And how are you going to get rid of them?" she inquired making her hands down him chiseled chest. She wanted this to be over so she could get him to take plastic surgery.
"I'm thinking of something, but tell the Blood Sisters to lay low for awhile. I'm going to need their help when I lure the Wolves into my maze" Tiger stated making her nod. "I just have to think of a way to make them all come, here. I can't get rid of some and leaves the others, they always seem to come back" he mused scathingly his frown deepening.
"You need somewhere where they can get lost and separated. Somewhere where you know your way around easily, where you'll have the upper hand" Ming murmured between kisses. Tiger smiled and pressed his remote control making a picture of Tokyo's abandoned chemical plant came up. That was the place he had to hide while he was healing and building his empire.
"I have the perfect place," Tiger walked out of her arms to the computer. She watched as he typed something in and pressed enter.
"What was that about?" she asked amusedly when he returned to her arms. Tiger smiled, his once handsome smile pressing the remote. Ming looked at the screen only to see some pictures of some very familiar faces.
"They are my bait and the sisters will acquire them for me alive"
Blood Sisters.
Kitty walked over to the computer when it started to beep. She accessed the file and frowned picking up the laptop. "Why the sour look puss?" Ashley asked making Kitty glare at her sitting down.
"Shut up bitch," she growled sitting so she could see the screen carefully. Kanbi walked over to them finishing up her ice cream.
"What's that?" she asked leaning over the sofa. Kitty didn't answer as she opened the other file making Naoko, Chiharu, Tomoyo, Kari, and another picture of a girl and boy.
"Why do they have an x?" Kanbi asked pointing to it, Kitty shrugged accessing the file. "Oh, they are going to get her themselves and that boy too?"
"I guess, he said all we need to do is get them and make sure not to kill em" Kitty frowned sighing. "Why does he always have to take the fun out of everything?" she whined deflated.
"Hey at least we'll be able to kill them later right, look he wants them as bait" Ashley pointed out making Kanbi and Ashley brighten at the prospect.
"Okay, we'll get them tonight, but we'll need a distraction" Ashley sighed getting up from the sofa. She had healed pretty well but knew she couldn't wait until she was healed properly; this had to be taken care of.
"Yeah, we can't have the pack anywhere fucking near them when we hit. We wouldn't be able to get them" Kanbi sighed glancing at her watch knowing that she would have to meet Max soon. She wouldn't be able to see him tomorrow or after since, as she didn't know what was going to happen after this. It might very well be there last mission and deep down it kind of scared her a little.
"Yeah, that's why Kitty and I are going to make a diversion while you go with some men and get them" Ashley ordered making Kanbi nod. "And you can blow the house up and kill all you want"
"Fucking Cool!" Kanbi screamed jumping up happily. "Oh I can't wait to use my new toy, this is going to be so fucking, fucking awesome"
"Shut up bitch," Kitty laughed making Kanbi flip her off laughing like she was a nut. "I swear to god she got that gene from mother," she continued her crimson eyes twinkling with pure evil.
"God dam right, all you got was her hair and eyes bitch" Kanbi laughed getting knocked in the head by a cushion. She growled hitting Kitty back when she put down the laptop.
"Argh I can't wait to fucking slaughter that red head bitch" she laughed making Kanbi's wicked smile widen on her baby features.
"Calm down kids, I want ya'll to rest up cause tomorrow we start to put everything together and then only time will tell the out come" Ashley smiled looking at her two younger sisters. She was going to enjoy her self even if it meant that this was going to be her last fight. The Cherry Blossom gave her an extreme adrenaline rush and she loved it even though she was playing with death.
Night.
Sakura twisted a black elastic band at the end of her French braid looking herself over in the mirror. She was dressed in black spaghetti strap shirt, her holster over it; she also head on tight black jeans like all the other girls would be wearing tonight. They weren't going out to have fun but to take care of some loose ends, which needed to be fixed right away. "Mommy going out?" Kari asked sitting on the bed in her snow-white nightgown. Sakura smiled walking over to her daughter, picking up her, she caressed Kari's cheek.
"Yeah mommy and daddy need to handle some business," Sakura answered heading for the door. She walked to Mei Lin's bedroom and knocked before entering. She knew that Jamie would be downstairs with the guys listening to Syaoran's explanation of how everything would need to done. She walked in only to see Mei Lin on the phone with no other then Rae and smiled sitting on the bed.
"Mommy loves you Rae," Mei Lin smiled sadly listening to the cute jabbering of her baby girl.
"Mommy home, home" Rae babbled on the phone being held by her grandmother.
"Not yet, but I'll be home soon, love you" Mei Lin said wanting nothing more then to hold her daughter.
"Lob you" Rae giggled before Mei Lin's mother took the phone back.
"She really misses you daughter, don't you think it's time to come home?"
"Mame, I'll be home soon. Did she like the toy I sent her?" Mei Lin inquired softly getting from the bed. She and Sakura were dressed the same and surprisingly Tomoyo would be tagging along as well since as Syaoran said it would be safe.
"Yes, she loved booboo as she calls the teddy. She has it with her all the time" she answered making Mei Lin smile happily. "But a toy can't substitute for a mother"
"I know, listen I have to go now. I'll call tomorrow" Mei Lin sighed listening to whatever else her mother had to say before hung up looking at Sakura and Kari.
"Ready?" Sakura asked getting up from the bed, Mei Lin nodded tossing the phone on the bed and picked up her cell phone.
"As ready as I'll ever be" Mei Lin shrugged walking to the door. "She loved Booboo as she now calls it, I miss her so much"
"I know, but we'll be out o here in not time" Sakura replied walking down the hall we hen they met up with Tomoyo and Rika. "Where are Naoko and Chiharu?"
"They are down stairs cuddling up with Tak and Mika before we leave. I swear Chiharu's is going to give birth soon, even Wei believes that" Tomoyo answered tugging along her small camcorder. The girls looked at her and laugh, "What?"
"God Tomoyo aren't you ever going to grow that out?" Rika asked meaning her toy. Tomoyo looked at her camcorder and shook her head.
"Nope not ever, hey its my trade mark" Tomoyo answered matter-of-factly shaking her head. She took a close up of her friends having to add to her collection. She wasn't paranoid but she always sends a cope home just in case anything happened, just like the house.
Downstairs.
"That's basically it, nothing serious or dangerous. I've had wolfs holding them until we reach" Syaoran stated finishing up when Max walked into the room with a small box in his hand. "Is that from Avalon?"
"Yeah, he said that it's just the way you wanted it" Max answered handing him it. Syaoran nodded placing it on his desk as the others got up and stretched. "We heading out now?"
"Yeah, just waiting for the girls. Got somewhere to go?" Eriol answered making Max grin pushing his hands into his pocket.
"Yeah, I'm meeting her again" Max answered making the guys shakes their head at him in mute fascination.
"I never thought I would see that day when Max would be whipped" Mika joked making Max's smile widen. Their mouths almost dropped open knowing that Max was a hardcore player. They couldn't believe he would actually fall for one girl this was something. He was saved from any more embarrassment when Sakura and the girls finally showed up.
"Ya'll ready?" Jamie asked winking at Mei Lin who smiled sweetly. She was so very special to him; she was so beautiful and full of life.
"Yeah, come on we'll wait for the others outside" Mei Lin said reaching for his hand. Jamie shrugged seeing the look Syaoran gave him, he looked at his cousin and best friend shaking his head.
"We should all head out, this won't take long" Syaoran ordered making everyone head for the door. "Sakura, you and Kari come here" he said to his wife and daughter making them walk over to him when the door closed to give them some privacy.
"What's up?" Sakura asked resting Kari on her father's desk where Syaoran now did most of calls. She sat on the desk beside Kari who was standing up looking shyly at Syaoran.
"Nothing, remember when I told you that you were the only woman I've ever felt the need to buy something for?" he asked making her smile nodding as she remembered that night. The circumstances under which they met was amazing, she didn't think that anyone had ever met like them.
"Yeah, I do. why wouldn't?" Syaoran smiled one of rare smiles turning to look at them as he picked up the box and opened it.
"Well I've felt that urge again. I had this picked out Kari a while back, I think its only right for me to buy the two most special women in my life something" Syaoran answered taking out the necklace. Kari's eyes lit up looking at the beautiful star, she looked down as he placed it around her neck and latched it. It was very much like Sakura's; except for Kari's was a star not a cherry blossom. The diamond star was encased by gold hanging from a tiny gold chain.
"It's beautiful," Kari whispered afraid to touch it; she looked up with uncertainty only to see Syaoran nod smiling. Returning smile she touched the star and giggle.
"So do you like it?" Syaoran mused looking at her twinkling eyes. Kari nodded jumping off the desk into Syaoran's arms catching him off guard making Sakura laugh.
"Oh beautiful, Arigatou" Kari mumbled when Syaoran hugged her back looking into Sakura's shining eyes, she mouthed 'I love you' to him winking.
"Your well come," he finally responded when Sakura get off the desk knowing that they would need to get going.
Yelen looked up when they walked out of the room, "Syaoran can I speak with you?" she asked making him walked over to her while Sakura and Kari went to stand beside Vivian at the door. Clare and the girls had gone out with some of Wei Yue's friends and wouldn't be home for a while.
"What's the matter mother?" he asked when she placed her hand on his shoulder looking him over intently. He resembled Wolf and his father in so many ways that it was scary. She knew what he was going to do and even though it had to happen she didn't want him to over do it.
"Are you sure you have to do this?" Syaoran looked in her eyes and saw that she was concerned for him. He smiled touching her cheek, he could see the wrinkles on her face but she was still as beautiful as the first time had opened his eyes to his world.
"Yes mother but don't worry. I know what I'm doing, they must pay for what they did to Wolf. Stay home okay, and don't fret" he placed a kiss on her cheek making her sigh.
"Well, but you take care of your wife and unborn child," she warned making him nod. She watched him walked over to Sakura, before she sighed and followed knowing that she could trust him, he was always true to his word.
"I'll be back soon, no worries" Sakura smiled when Kari gave her a kiss on the cheek. She gave her to Vivian who smiled, "Nothing dangerous"
"I know, hurry back" Vivian replied shaking her head.
"Be good brat," Syaoran mused touching Kari's cheek making her giggle nodding. She watched as her new mother and father walked out the door, and sighed sadly wondering why they always leaved at night.
"Are they coming back, grandmamma??" she whispered resting her head on Vivian's shoulder.
"Yes child" she answered smiling at being called grandmother. She loved Kari like she was her real granddaughter, and she loved Kai and Whitney like they were her real daughters.
"They'll be back in no time" Yelen replied touching Kari's hair as she watched her son and daughter in law kiss before Sakura got on and rode off with the others following behind.
Later.
"Please I didn't mean to do it, I was coerced into it" a man begged on his knees in front of Syaoran, the guys were standing behind him waiting patiently. Syaoran's frown deepened looking at the scoundrel before him, as other common wolves who held him stood around. "Please," he continued but Syaoran blocked him out. And just like all the others that he had killed he would do the same thing with this one.
"It's not really my choice whether you die, it's the choice of the men standing around you" Syaoran answered grimly looking at the lavish home in which he had been living in. "I haven't used one of my guns since the night has begun" he continued making Mika and the guys smile evilly. They loved Wolf as well and it was past due that all those who helped in his death also die.
"What do you mean?" the man choked looking at all his guards around him. They were the very men who had been put under his control. They were like his guards; they were given to him to insure his safety.
"What I'm saying is" Syaoran placed his back in his holster making the man sigh a little bit, this made him smirk. "That they will decide right at this moment if you die, and they'll be the one to kill you" he looked at all the men in the room. "It totally up to them" he concluded looking out the window at the front where the girls were. He heard guns click but blocked them out these were his people.
In the darkness of the night, shots could be heard and with each one that went off Sakura and the girls jumped as they waited beside the bikes. She looked at up at the seventh house that they had been to through out the night and sigh shaking her head. If she had known that this trip was to be one of death she would have gladly stay home. "This had to be done Sakura" Mei Lin whispered but her voice was tinged with uncertainty like all the others.
"For our safety and everyone else's, this can't end unless those against us are wiped clean" Tomoyo continued swallowing as she turned her camera off and placed it on the seat.
"I know" Sakura whispered fingering her wedding back. She looked up at the door when Syaoran and the others finally walked out looking the fallen angels cast down unto the earth. They looked so invincible and deadly that they couldn't help the chill that ran down their spine. Unlike, their husbands, and Mei Lin and Tomoyo, she and Rika won't born into it but it was now their way of life.
Syaoran looked into Sakura's eyes as he walked up to her, he touched her cheek making her look into his glowing amber eyes. "I'm sorry Ying Fa" he murmured surprising her, she didn't know if she were that transparent. "It had to be done"
"I know, don't worry about me I'm fine" she slowly replied standing up. She wrapped her arms around him, hugging him tightly exhaling him. "Can we go somewhere and talk for a while?"
"Sure" he placed a kiss on her lips before looking at everyone else. "That's it, ya'll can head home or to where ever. Sakura and I are going out for a while" everyone nodded getting on their bikes. Sakura got on and wrapped her arms around his waist just like she did in the olden days.
They all pulled out of the large estate and rode the same direction before coming to an intersection where they spilt directions.
Town.
Whitney looked up at the night sky wondering what Max was doing at this very moment. She sighed trying to pay attention to what her friends were saying but all that was on her mind was who this other woman could be. And what made her so special that she got Max to fall in love with her. "What's the matter Whit?" Kai asked knocking her out of the thoughts as a bunch of guys passed and winked at them.
"Nothing, just thinking so where are we off to this time?" she answered taking Kai's hand in hers. They always walked holding each other's hand when they worked the streets and even though that part of their life was over they still held unto the other. After all it was they were the only two left who actually knew how hard life really was.
"To some park, I don't know Wei Yue says it really cool there and a lot of people hang out there" Kai answered giving Whitney's hand a reassuring squeeze. "You want to go home?"
"Naw I'll be fine" Kai nodded as they followed behind the others toward the park.
Max.
He walked through the park looking for any sign of Kanbi; he wanted to see her so badly. He moved the branches as he made his way towards the fountain where she said she would be waiting for him. "Don't move" a deep voice said poking something into his back making him come to a halt. Max smiled and slowly raised his hand, the person yelped when he spun around and tackling her. "Holy shit, are you trying to kill me?"
"Kanbi, what the hell?" Max gasped looking into her blue eyes with pure amusement. He stood her up right hoping he hadn't hurt her, he was still on guard from before.
"Wow, I guess I won't be doing that to you anymore" Kanbi mused running her hand through her hair. "Don't look at me that way," she warned playfully. "Did you hear me?"
"No" he answered dipping her and stealing a kiss. She would have retaliated with anyone else but his kisses made her immobile. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she kissed him back deeply. "Couldn't help my self"
"Don't hear me complaining" she murmured when her brought her upright her arms still around his neck. "What's the matter?"
"What'd you mean?" Max asked moving his fingers across her bare back until he came to the laces that held her top up.
"I don't know, you just seem tense" he smiled shaking his head at her as he led her to the fountain. It was wide enough so when he sat down, he could place both his feet on it. Kanbi sat facing him and she moved her legs over his moving as close to him as possible and touched under his chin. "Fucking answer me, am I right?"
"Yeah, so right. Tell me what have you been up to?" she rested her head on his chest trying to think of something to say. She couldn't exactly tell him what she had been really up to.
"Well my sisters and I planned out the details of our business arrangement. We're really starting to hate our boss that fucking ugly ass bitch" Max laughed hearing her choice of words. "Some times I want to blow him to smithereens"
"There, there Angel" he joked making her laughing looking up at him with a pout on her face.
"I'm not an angel, I'm of a devil, poison ivy. Something wicked and fucking cool" she declared proudly holding up her chin with pure defiance" Max smiled moving in for a kiss. "Be careful now, my lips are registered as weapons" she warned making him burst in laughter.
"Nice pick up line, how about this one. I might not be Fred Flintstone but I'm sure I can make you bed rock" Max offered making her laugh shaking her head.
"Oh that's so lame, I would sooner kill you then take you to bed" Kanbi declared with a wave of her hand. And something in voice told Max that she would do exactly as she just said.
"Okay, Hershey's makes millions of kisses everyday. I'm just asking for one" Kanbi laughed looking at his boyish face. "Don't tell me you are going to turn it down" he whined but she shook her head and gave him a sweet kiss. "That's it?"
"Boys are so hard to please, fucking hey" Kanbi spoke against his lips before deepening the kiss. "Come on let's head back to your place, more fun"
"Let's like we aren't the only ones here" Wei Yue mused making everyone look at the couple getting up from the fountain kissing.
"Reminds me of you and Clare" Kai muttered making everyone laugh as they neared the two people whose figures were shadowed by the tree. "They look in love" she muttered making Whitney nod in agreement.
"Yeah" she muttered when the guy laughed as they turned towards them.
"Max, of all the fucking things to stay" Kanbi yelled walking away from him but Max hugged her around the waist. She knew that her sisters would think she had been clobbered in the head repeatedly to be acting this way with a guy.
Whitney froze hearing the name, as the man's deep laughter filled the air. She swallowed the lump in her throat looking at the beautiful woman before her, who had a body to die for but couldn't see the guys face.
Max looked up only to see the haunted face of Whitney staring at him wide eye and he could clearly see the pain in her eyes.

Ne ways on wit da story
"Do you see it Pauline?" Sakura asked softly standing at the door waiting patiently.
"Hai ma'am I've just found them, I'm afraid your papa and Rosa had them packed away" Pauline spoke appearing with a handful of Sakura's old baby blankets for the day bed they had to buy.
"Wonderful, do you think you can wash them for me?" Sakura asked making Pauline nod eagerly as they descended the stairs of the attic.
"Oh we all waited for the day when we would pull these out again. Kari is such a doll" Pauline spoke making Sakura smile nodding.
Syaoran cringed walking out of the room with Kari raised in the air way from him. He couldn't believe they had left him to baby sit, and now the brat wouldn't be quiet, "SAKURA" he yelled over the noise at the front of the steps. "I won't be any good to anyone if you make me go deaf" he spoke trying to get Kari to stop crying but that only made her scream even more. "Please, stop crying" he begged not seeing that he had an audience. "I'll get you your own guns, special made. I'll do anything just please stop crying" he was about to yell again when Sakura appeared at the top of the steps.
"What's the matter?" she asked frantically running down the stairs.
"How do you turn her off? She just started to scream," he snapped making her laugh reaching them. Sakura took Kari in her arms and hugged her rocking her back and forth, making her stop crying.
"All you have to do is hug her, what'd you do to scare her?" Sakura asked trying not to laugh at her husband's irritated expression.
"She went for my gun and I yelled," he answered sighing when she stop crying. Mei Lin and Mika's laughter cut through the room making Syaoran spin around.
"So Li isn't invincible after all, welcome to fatherhood," Mika laughed making Syaoran glare at him coldly.
"Oh my Xiao Lang, come on all you have to do is hug her. That's why she loves Eriol and Jamie so, they play with her" Mei Lin pointed out looking at her cousin's face helplessly.
"You two are lucky your family, I'm tempted to shoot both you" Syaoran growled but they only laughed harder knowing he was only kidding.
"Hey you had better watch out and hope Tiger doesn't find about your weakness or he might send toddlers to fight instead of men" Jamie stated jokingly making everyone laugh.
"You just wait, you should hear Rae when she's pissed. You think Mei Lin is bad, you haven't seen or heard anything yet" Syaoran smirked making Jamie shut up and Mika and the others laugh. Kari looked at the man who she was left with, he looked better when he was smiling and not frowning.
"Oh shut up Xiao Lang," Mei Lin growled making Jamie hug her from behind.
"Hah whatever, I bet I'll be able to charm Rae before you get Kari to warm up to you" Jamie pointed out smiling. "Your just like Alex, I don't know how he's going to survive"
"Hey leave me out of this" Alex interrupted softly cringing when he looked at Kari making Rika laugh. "I think you should be giving advice to Takashi and Eriol they'll need it more then me" he continued making Takashi and Eriol gulp.
"Eri!" Kari squealed clapping her hands together making Eriol chuckle winking at her.
"I hope I have a girl," Tomoyo sighed smiling at Kari, Eriol laughed hugging her tightly. He knew he would have no problem with being a father he would love nothing more.
"Yeah, who looks just like you" he whispered placing a kiss on her ear. Syaoran looked at them and frowned. He could get Kari to warm up to him if he wanted besides they had been with her longer then him.
"Come on Xiao Lang, how about another try?" Sakura asked making him look at her. He sighed seeing her pleading expression, and then he noticed when his mother walked into the room.
"Guns, battles and anything dealing with that kind of stuff I've mastered but children" he wince making them laugh holding out his hand reluctantly.
"Come on Xiao Lang, you can't hold her like, that you have to cuddle her" Takashi helped the guys nodding agreement. The looked Syaoran gave them could have killed a thousand men but it made them laugh, loving his predicament. They couldn't believe they were seeing him having trouble just to hold a child, he held her out away from him making her feet dangle beneath her.
"Please follow me," Sakura ordered walking to the living room. "Only me and my husband" she stated seeing everyone turn, they laughed nodding.
"This is going to be something," Rika laughed when Yelen walked up sighing.
"I believe your right" she mused smiling at her son's uneasiness. She had always imagined the day when she was see her son become a father and have many sons like him.
"Hey daddy, is it okay if we go out tonight?" Mei Lin teased ducking behind Jamie when Syaoran glared at her hardcore. Turning his attention from Sakura and Kari to everyone who loved his predicament. "Please?!!"
"Shut up Mei Lin" Syaoran growled tightly when Whitney and Max walked into the room laughing. Syaoran looked at Max but he shook his head in a negative manner making him nod.
"Is Mei Lin begging to chain Jamie to the bed?" Max inquired making everyone laugh. He back up when Mei Lin looked at him aggressively, even Syaoran had to laugh.
"Knowing Mei Lin she's probably already done that, why do you think we had to have her bed change at the house so much?" Syaoran inquired jokingly and this time Mei Lin had to blush.
"If it wasn't take out, it was buying her a new bed" Eriol added making Mei Lin stomp her foot in frustration.
"And that's why my room was at the other end of the house" Mika continued making hall ring with laughter. (Poor Mei Lin)
"I swear, if you, Syaoran, Max and Eriol don't shut up I'm going to beat the hell outta all ya'll" Mei Lin roared stalking out of the room trying to control her fury. Jamie laughed shaking his head at his still unofficial girlfriend and followed her; he knew the best way to calm her down.
"One of these days Mei Lin is going to beat you guys up" Tomoyo warned shaking her head amusedly. Yelen stood in silence having seen how they really carried on when they were down here.
"Yeah, besides I don't believe she changes beds as much as we do" Rika smiled kissing Alex against his jaw. He smiled and winked at her ignoring everyone's laugh.
"And he isn't even denying it" Mika joked placing his hand around Naoko's waist. She looked at him longingly making him kiss her on the temple, "don't worry just a little more time"
"Hey Mei Lin" Jaime called making Mei Lin stop and spin around. "What's the rush?" he asked stopping in front of her.
"No rush I was just waiting for you to catch up" Mei Lin murmured wrapping her arms around his neck an evil smile forming on her lips. "Tell me Chan," she whispered against his lips. "Am I your woman?"
"That's if you want to be," Jamie replied placing his hands on her butt squeezing her to him, making Mei Lin moan enticingly.
"What do you think baka, I don't sleep with every guy I come across ya know" Mei Lin growled making him chuckle against her lips. She looked him in the eyes and winked running her tongue leisurely between his slightly parted ones.
"God why do you do this to me?" Jamie groaned pressing her against the wall. Mei Lin looked at him with such warm eyes that he felt like he was going to melt. She was sure now, she loved him and god she wanted to be with him so badly but did he love her?
"Do you like what I do to you?" she asked softly her fingertips barely touching his cheek.
"No" he answered making her lose her smile abruptly feeling like she was just slapped the face. "I don't like it because every time I want you I can't have you, you aren't mine to want all the time"
"Well guess what?" Mei Lin smiled brightly drawing him down to her lips. "I guess we're even cause I can't have you every time I want you. So to change that, I'm yours to want all the time"
"You can't hold her like that you have to hold her like this" Sakura was saying as she made him hold Kari closer to him. "She's not going puke on you or anything, she's three" she looks at them and smiles.
"Better?" he asked sarcastically, Kari looked at him with sad eyes her lips trembling. "Please don't start crying," he begged softly.
"Mommy," Kari whined reaching for Sakura, this made Syaoran raise a brow at her wondering when this started. Sakura smiled brightly playing with Kari's hair, she noticed that she tend to be uneasy around males.
"Awhile back, don't worry she'll start to call you daddy in no time" she answered moving into his other arms. "Don't be afraid Kari" she whispered soothingly making Kari nod slowly unsurely.
"I don't think she trusts me," Syaoran replied looking into Kari's misty light green eyes. "But your right" he smiled making Sakura raise her brows wondering what she was right about. "She has beautiful green eyes," he answered, she smiled shaking her head in full agreement. "Pretty eyes" he whispered touching Kari's cheek softly making her relax and smile, then giggled when Syaoran wink at her.
"See no woman, girl or baby can resist your charms," Sakura laughed kissing him soundly on the lips.
Ahmed.
He looked at all the files that were on his desk, and sighed running his hand through his hair. He couldn't believe the Wolf was alive it was impossible but he had seen him with his own two eyes. How the hell was it possible for him to escape certain death so much time? "I don't think anyone feels as frustrated as me" he muttered to the window.
"I don't believe your right, I feel the same. He just waltz in here and took all the Wolves with him" Rick spat angrily. Ahmed looked at Rick through the window and mused at how much he remembered him of him self when he had just started. He became a cop to be the best and being the best was putting or killing the leader of the Wolf but he had not been able to. "What are we going to do about him? Ahmed we can throw the wife into jail for traffic obstruction and endangering the lives of innocents"
"I know and you are free to lock her up" Ahmed shrugged turning to look at him amusedly. "That's if you can get close enough to her without getting killed. And let me warn you, you don't have a chance now that the Wolf is back" at this he tossed two folders to him. "That is Li Kawasaki and Fang, both found dead in their car"
Rick looked them over carefully with a frown on his face. "Yeah, so why do we care they are only Wolves"
"Who do you think killed them?" Ahmed yelled angrily. "He did, the cherry blossom and her cubs aren't staying at the house. They are at her house because they kicked them out. And as you can see that didn't go too well with Li"
"How do you know he killed them?"
"Because they show up dead right after he reappears" Ahmed sighed wondering just how clueless he was. "And the bullets found in one of their head matched the same bullet that killed a lot of people"
"Are you telling me that they have their bullets marked or special made?" Rick asked in utter disbelief.
"Exactly, we found a new kind. This one has a dragon on the side which means someone else killed Kawasaki" Ahmed smiled sitting down. "I've come to believe that only important people or leaders have these bullets. The Wolf has a special made gun, as does the cherry blossom and the cousins but they are similar with the carvings on them of the Clan. The new bullet that we found embedded in Kawasaki's head belongs to the leader of the Dragon Clan, Chan Jamie"
"But why is he involved?"
"Close family relations and he has a thing for the black haired bitch" Ahmed answered softly. He would need to find a way to bring them all down at once, but how was he going to do that? And then there was the Blood Sisters.
Tiger.
He frowned watching the men from the television in his room fix his suit. He needed to find a way to make the Wolf and his pack come to him. He would have a better chance to get rid of them if they were on his territory. "What's on your mind?" Ming whispered wrapping her arms around his back.
"Same old, same old total control over Tokyo" Tiger answered making her laugh placing kisses on his scared back. When they said love was blind, in this case it was really blind.
"And how are you going to get rid of them?" she inquired making her hands down him chiseled chest. She wanted this to be over so she could get him to take plastic surgery.
"I'm thinking of something, but tell the Blood Sisters to lay low for awhile. I'm going to need their help when I lure the Wolves into my maze" Tiger stated making her nod. "I just have to think of a way to make them all come, here. I can't get rid of some and leaves the others, they always seem to come back" he mused scathingly his frown deepening.
"You need somewhere where they can get lost and separated. Somewhere where you know your way around easily, where you'll have the upper hand" Ming murmured between kisses. Tiger smiled and pressed his remote control making a picture of Tokyo's abandoned chemical plant came up. That was the place he had to hide while he was healing and building his empire.
"I have the perfect place," Tiger walked out of her arms to the computer. She watched as he typed something in and pressed enter.
"What was that about?" she asked amusedly when he returned to her arms. Tiger smiled, his once handsome smile pressing the remote. Ming looked at the screen only to see some pictures of some very familiar faces.
"They are my bait and the sisters will acquire them for me alive"
Blood Sisters.
Kitty walked over to the computer when it started to beep. She accessed the file and frowned picking up the laptop. "Why the sour look puss?" Ashley asked making Kitty glare at her sitting down.
"Shut up bitch," she growled sitting so she could see the screen carefully. Kanbi walked over to them finishing up her ice cream.
"What's that?" she asked leaning over the sofa. Kitty didn't answer as she opened the other file making Naoko, Chiharu, Tomoyo, Kari, and another picture of a girl and boy.
"Why do they have an x?" Kanbi asked pointing to it, Kitty shrugged accessing the file. "Oh, they are going to get her themselves and that boy too?"
"I guess, he said all we need to do is get them and make sure not to kill em" Kitty frowned sighing. "Why does he always have to take the fun out of everything?" she whined deflated.
"Hey at least we'll be able to kill them later right, look he wants them as bait" Ashley pointed out making Kanbi and Ashley brighten at the prospect.
"Okay, we'll get them tonight, but we'll need a distraction" Ashley sighed getting up from the sofa. She had healed pretty well but knew she couldn't wait until she was healed properly; this had to be taken care of.
"Yeah, we can't have the pack anywhere fucking near them when we hit. We wouldn't be able to get them" Kanbi sighed glancing at her watch knowing that she would have to meet Max soon. She wouldn't be able to see him tomorrow or after since, as she didn't know what was going to happen after this. It might very well be there last mission and deep down it kind of scared her a little.
"Yeah, that's why Kitty and I are going to make a diversion while you go with some men and get them" Ashley ordered making Kanbi nod. "And you can blow the house up and kill all you want"
"Fucking Cool!" Kanbi screamed jumping up happily. "Oh I can't wait to use my new toy, this is going to be so fucking, fucking awesome"
"Shut up bitch," Kitty laughed making Kanbi flip her off laughing like she was a nut. "I swear to god she got that gene from mother," she continued her crimson eyes twinkling with pure evil.
"God dam right, all you got was her hair and eyes bitch" Kanbi laughed getting knocked in the head by a cushion. She growled hitting Kitty back when she put down the laptop.
"Argh I can't wait to fucking slaughter that red head bitch" she laughed making Kanbi's wicked smile widen on her baby features.
"Calm down kids, I want ya'll to rest up cause tomorrow we start to put everything together and then only time will tell the out come" Ashley smiled looking at her two younger sisters. She was going to enjoy her self even if it meant that this was going to be her last fight. The Cherry Blossom gave her an extreme adrenaline rush and she loved it even though she was playing with death.
Night.
Sakura twisted a black elastic band at the end of her French braid looking herself over in the mirror. She was dressed in black spaghetti strap shirt, her holster over it; she also head on tight black jeans like all the other girls would be wearing tonight. They weren't going out to have fun but to take care of some loose ends, which needed to be fixed right away. "Mommy going out?" Kari asked sitting on the bed in her snow-white nightgown. Sakura smiled walking over to her daughter, picking up her, she caressed Kari's cheek.
"Yeah mommy and daddy need to handle some business," Sakura answered heading for the door. She walked to Mei Lin's bedroom and knocked before entering. She knew that Jamie would be downstairs with the guys listening to Syaoran's explanation of how everything would need to done. She walked in only to see Mei Lin on the phone with no other then Rae and smiled sitting on the bed.
"Mommy loves you Rae," Mei Lin smiled sadly listening to the cute jabbering of her baby girl.
"Mommy home, home" Rae babbled on the phone being held by her grandmother.
"Not yet, but I'll be home soon, love you" Mei Lin said wanting nothing more then to hold her daughter.
"Lob you" Rae giggled before Mei Lin's mother took the phone back.
"She really misses you daughter, don't you think it's time to come home?"
"Mame, I'll be home soon. Did she like the toy I sent her?" Mei Lin inquired softly getting from the bed. She and Sakura were dressed the same and surprisingly Tomoyo would be tagging along as well since as Syaoran said it would be safe.
"Yes, she loved booboo as she calls the teddy. She has it with her all the time" she answered making Mei Lin smile happily. "But a toy can't substitute for a mother"
"I know, listen I have to go now. I'll call tomorrow" Mei Lin sighed listening to whatever else her mother had to say before hung up looking at Sakura and Kari.
"Ready?" Sakura asked getting up from the bed, Mei Lin nodded tossing the phone on the bed and picked up her cell phone.
"As ready as I'll ever be" Mei Lin shrugged walking to the door. "She loved Booboo as she now calls it, I miss her so much"
"I know, but we'll be out o here in not time" Sakura replied walking down the hall we hen they met up with Tomoyo and Rika. "Where are Naoko and Chiharu?"
"They are down stairs cuddling up with Tak and Mika before we leave. I swear Chiharu's is going to give birth soon, even Wei believes that" Tomoyo answered tugging along her small camcorder. The girls looked at her and laugh, "What?"
"God Tomoyo aren't you ever going to grow that out?" Rika asked meaning her toy. Tomoyo looked at her camcorder and shook her head.
"Nope not ever, hey its my trade mark" Tomoyo answered matter-of-factly shaking her head. She took a close up of her friends having to add to her collection. She wasn't paranoid but she always sends a cope home just in case anything happened, just like the house.
Downstairs.
"That's basically it, nothing serious or dangerous. I've had wolfs holding them until we reach" Syaoran stated finishing up when Max walked into the room with a small box in his hand. "Is that from Avalon?"
"Yeah, he said that it's just the way you wanted it" Max answered handing him it. Syaoran nodded placing it on his desk as the others got up and stretched. "We heading out now?"
"Yeah, just waiting for the girls. Got somewhere to go?" Eriol answered making Max grin pushing his hands into his pocket.
"Yeah, I'm meeting her again" Max answered making the guys shakes their head at him in mute fascination.
"I never thought I would see that day when Max would be whipped" Mika joked making Max's smile widen. Their mouths almost dropped open knowing that Max was a hardcore player. They couldn't believe he would actually fall for one girl this was something. He was saved from any more embarrassment when Sakura and the girls finally showed up.
"Ya'll ready?" Jamie asked winking at Mei Lin who smiled sweetly. She was so very special to him; she was so beautiful and full of life.
"Yeah, come on we'll wait for the others outside" Mei Lin said reaching for his hand. Jamie shrugged seeing the look Syaoran gave him, he looked at his cousin and best friend shaking his head.
"We should all head out, this won't take long" Syaoran ordered making everyone head for the door. "Sakura, you and Kari come here" he said to his wife and daughter making them walk over to him when the door closed to give them some privacy.
"What's up?" Sakura asked resting Kari on her father's desk where Syaoran now did most of calls. She sat on the desk beside Kari who was standing up looking shyly at Syaoran.
"Nothing, remember when I told you that you were the only woman I've ever felt the need to buy something for?" he asked making her smile nodding as she remembered that night. The circumstances under which they met was amazing, she didn't think that anyone had ever met like them.
"Yeah, I do. why wouldn't?" Syaoran smiled one of rare smiles turning to look at them as he picked up the box and opened it.
"Well I've felt that urge again. I had this picked out Kari a while back, I think its only right for me to buy the two most special women in my life something" Syaoran answered taking out the necklace. Kari's eyes lit up looking at the beautiful star, she looked down as he placed it around her neck and latched it. It was very much like Sakura's; except for Kari's was a star not a cherry blossom. The diamond star was encased by gold hanging from a tiny gold chain.
"It's beautiful," Kari whispered afraid to touch it; she looked up with uncertainty only to see Syaoran nod smiling. Returning smile she touched the star and giggle.
"So do you like it?" Syaoran mused looking at her twinkling eyes. Kari nodded jumping off the desk into Syaoran's arms catching him off guard making Sakura laugh.
"Oh beautiful, Arigatou" Kari mumbled when Syaoran hugged her back looking into Sakura's shining eyes, she mouthed 'I love you' to him winking.
"Your well come," he finally responded when Sakura get off the desk knowing that they would need to get going.
Yelen looked up when they walked out of the room, "Syaoran can I speak with you?" she asked making him walked over to her while Sakura and Kari went to stand beside Vivian at the door. Clare and the girls had gone out with some of Wei Yue's friends and wouldn't be home for a while.
"What's the matter mother?" he asked when she placed her hand on his shoulder looking him over intently. He resembled Wolf and his father in so many ways that it was scary. She knew what he was going to do and even though it had to happen she didn't want him to over do it.
"Are you sure you have to do this?" Syaoran looked in her eyes and saw that she was concerned for him. He smiled touching her cheek, he could see the wrinkles on her face but she was still as beautiful as the first time had opened his eyes to his world.
"Yes mother but don't worry. I know what I'm doing, they must pay for what they did to Wolf. Stay home okay, and don't fret" he placed a kiss on her cheek making her sigh.
"Well, but you take care of your wife and unborn child," she warned making him nod. She watched him walked over to Sakura, before she sighed and followed knowing that she could trust him, he was always true to his word.
"I'll be back soon, no worries" Sakura smiled when Kari gave her a kiss on the cheek. She gave her to Vivian who smiled, "Nothing dangerous"
"I know, hurry back" Vivian replied shaking her head.
"Be good brat," Syaoran mused touching Kari's cheek making her giggle nodding. She watched as her new mother and father walked out the door, and sighed sadly wondering why they always leaved at night.
"Are they coming back, grandmamma??" she whispered resting her head on Vivian's shoulder.
"Yes child" she answered smiling at being called grandmother. She loved Kari like she was her real granddaughter, and she loved Kai and Whitney like they were her real daughters.
"They'll be back in no time" Yelen replied touching Kari's hair as she watched her son and daughter in law kiss before Sakura got on and rode off with the others following behind.
Later.
"Please I didn't mean to do it, I was coerced into it" a man begged on his knees in front of Syaoran, the guys were standing behind him waiting patiently. Syaoran's frown deepened looking at the scoundrel before him, as other common wolves who held him stood around. "Please," he continued but Syaoran blocked him out. And just like all the others that he had killed he would do the same thing with this one.
"It's not really my choice whether you die, it's the choice of the men standing around you" Syaoran answered grimly looking at the lavish home in which he had been living in. "I haven't used one of my guns since the night has begun" he continued making Mika and the guys smile evilly. They loved Wolf as well and it was past due that all those who helped in his death also die.
"What do you mean?" the man choked looking at all his guards around him. They were the very men who had been put under his control. They were like his guards; they were given to him to insure his safety.
"What I'm saying is" Syaoran placed his back in his holster making the man sigh a little bit, this made him smirk. "That they will decide right at this moment if you die, and they'll be the one to kill you" he looked at all the men in the room. "It totally up to them" he concluded looking out the window at the front where the girls were. He heard guns click but blocked them out these were his people.
In the darkness of the night, shots could be heard and with each one that went off Sakura and the girls jumped as they waited beside the bikes. She looked at up at the seventh house that they had been to through out the night and sigh shaking her head. If she had known that this trip was to be one of death she would have gladly stay home. "This had to be done Sakura" Mei Lin whispered but her voice was tinged with uncertainty like all the others.
"For our safety and everyone else's, this can't end unless those against us are wiped clean" Tomoyo continued swallowing as she turned her camera off and placed it on the seat.
"I know" Sakura whispered fingering her wedding back. She looked up at the door when Syaoran and the others finally walked out looking the fallen angels cast down unto the earth. They looked so invincible and deadly that they couldn't help the chill that ran down their spine. Unlike, their husbands, and Mei Lin and Tomoyo, she and Rika won't born into it but it was now their way of life.
Syaoran looked into Sakura's eyes as he walked up to her, he touched her cheek making her look into his glowing amber eyes. "I'm sorry Ying Fa" he murmured surprising her, she didn't know if she were that transparent. "It had to be done"
"I know, don't worry about me I'm fine" she slowly replied standing up. She wrapped her arms around him, hugging him tightly exhaling him. "Can we go somewhere and talk for a while?"
"Sure" he placed a kiss on her lips before looking at everyone else. "That's it, ya'll can head home or to where ever. Sakura and I are going out for a while" everyone nodded getting on their bikes. Sakura got on and wrapped her arms around his waist just like she did in the olden days.
They all pulled out of the large estate and rode the same direction before coming to an intersection where they spilt directions.
Town.
Whitney looked up at the night sky wondering what Max was doing at this very moment. She sighed trying to pay attention to what her friends were saying but all that was on her mind was who this other woman could be. And what made her so special that she got Max to fall in love with her. "What's the matter Whit?" Kai asked knocking her out of the thoughts as a bunch of guys passed and winked at them.
"Nothing, just thinking so where are we off to this time?" she answered taking Kai's hand in hers. They always walked holding each other's hand when they worked the streets and even though that part of their life was over they still held unto the other. After all it was they were the only two left who actually knew how hard life really was.
"To some park, I don't know Wei Yue says it really cool there and a lot of people hang out there" Kai answered giving Whitney's hand a reassuring squeeze. "You want to go home?"
"Naw I'll be fine" Kai nodded as they followed behind the others toward the park.
Max.
He walked through the park looking for any sign of Kanbi; he wanted to see her so badly. He moved the branches as he made his way towards the fountain where she said she would be waiting for him. "Don't move" a deep voice said poking something into his back making him come to a halt. Max smiled and slowly raised his hand, the person yelped when he spun around and tackling her. "Holy shit, are you trying to kill me?"
"Kanbi, what the hell?" Max gasped looking into her blue eyes with pure amusement. He stood her up right hoping he hadn't hurt her, he was still on guard from before.
"Wow, I guess I won't be doing that to you anymore" Kanbi mused running her hand through her hair. "Don't look at me that way," she warned playfully. "Did you hear me?"
"No" he answered dipping her and stealing a kiss. She would have retaliated with anyone else but his kisses made her immobile. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she kissed him back deeply. "Couldn't help my self"
"Don't hear me complaining" she murmured when her brought her upright her arms still around his neck. "What's the matter?"
"What'd you mean?" Max asked moving his fingers across her bare back until he came to the laces that held her top up.
"I don't know, you just seem tense" he smiled shaking his head at her as he led her to the fountain. It was wide enough so when he sat down, he could place both his feet on it. Kanbi sat facing him and she moved her legs over his moving as close to him as possible and touched under his chin. "Fucking answer me, am I right?"
"Yeah, so right. Tell me what have you been up to?" she rested her head on his chest trying to think of something to say. She couldn't exactly tell him what she had been really up to.
"Well my sisters and I planned out the details of our business arrangement. We're really starting to hate our boss that fucking ugly ass bitch" Max laughed hearing her choice of words. "Some times I want to blow him to smithereens"
"There, there Angel" he joked making her laughing looking up at him with a pout on her face.
"I'm not an angel, I'm of a devil, poison ivy. Something wicked and fucking cool" she declared proudly holding up her chin with pure defiance" Max smiled moving in for a kiss. "Be careful now, my lips are registered as weapons" she warned making him burst in laughter.
"Nice pick up line, how about this one. I might not be Fred Flintstone but I'm sure I can make you bed rock" Max offered making her laugh shaking her head.
"Oh that's so lame, I would sooner kill you then take you to bed" Kanbi declared with a wave of her hand. And something in voice told Max that she would do exactly as she just said.
"Okay, Hershey's makes millions of kisses everyday. I'm just asking for one" Kanbi laughed looking at his boyish face. "Don't tell me you are going to turn it down" he whined but she shook her head and gave him a sweet kiss. "That's it?"
"Boys are so hard to please, fucking hey" Kanbi spoke against his lips before deepening the kiss. "Come on let's head back to your place, more fun"
"Let's like we aren't the only ones here" Wei Yue mused making everyone look at the couple getting up from the fountain kissing.
"Reminds me of you and Clare" Kai muttered making everyone laugh as they neared the two people whose figures were shadowed by the tree. "They look in love" she muttered making Whitney nod in agreement.
"Yeah" she muttered when the guy laughed as they turned towards them.
"Max, of all the fucking things to stay" Kanbi yelled walking away from him but Max hugged her around the waist. She knew that her sisters would think she had been clobbered in the head repeatedly to be acting this way with a guy.
Whitney froze hearing the name, as the man's deep laughter filled the air. She swallowed the lump in her throat looking at the beautiful woman before her, who had a body to die for but couldn't see the guys face.
Max looked up only to see the haunted face of Whitney staring at him wide eye and he could clearly see the pain in her eyes.
Author's note: So what did ya'll think? Hmmm you like or hate? Poor Whitney didn't mean to hurt her or anything but hey, she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Remember to review and tell me what you think LOL, I hope you enjoyed reading it. Ja.
