Author's note: I know, I know, I'm the most evilest person on the face of the world LOL. I can't help my self. I'm sorry for being so evil. Thank you to everyone who reviewed I love ya'll LOL. I really do. I'm sorry for the late update but I caught a bad cause of the Flu that's going around Virginia Beach. It sucks.

Ne wayz on wit story.
Tiger looked up at the walkways that were suspended in the air when a man yelled flying over the railing into the boiling chemical container below. He smirked knowing that the wolf was upon him. "Ming grab the brat" he spoke making her walk over to Kari. "It's about time," He shouted knowing that he should be just as strong as Syaoran since as his suit was upgraded.
How can you see into my eyes like open doors.
"SO eager to die?" Syaoran replied jumping over the railing landing on his feet. He looked at Kari who was being held by Ming. He could see that she recognized his voice but she couldn't see him. "It's okay Kari" he spoke seeing how afraid she was.
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb.
"Isn't that cute" Tiger spat charging at Syaoran, he blocked Tiger's punches moving back. He did a kick but Tiger blocked it and uppercut him sending him flying backwards into a desk breaking it into millions of pieces. Tiger pulled out of his gun and started to fire on Syaoran who back flip at an incredible rate. Tiger walked towards him still using the machine gun. Syaoran jumped against the wall and spun around kicking Tiger across the face making him spin landing on the ground. Just as fast as he hit the ground he was up in a mere second and they were fighting again.
Without a soul my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
"Shit" Ming cursed not knowing where they were. She looked up when Sakura ran into the room and their eyes met.
until you find it there and lead it back home.
"Mommy" Kari cried trying to run off but Ming grabbed her holding a gun to her head. (Wake me up. Wake me up inside
"Don't move or I'll blow her brains out. Put down your guns" Ming ordered Sakura who dropped her guns. She moved back towards the stairs that headed up the walkways suspended in the air.
I can't wake up. Wake me up inside.
"Let her go, this has nothing to do with her" Sakura stated seeing a huge indent appear in a wall. She knew that Syaoran and Tiger were fighting but Tiger wouldn't attack her cause he was having enough trouble keeping Syaoran at bay.
Save me. Call my name and save me from the dark.
"Right bitch, I don't take chances," Ming spat moving up the steps with Kero following along with Sakura who had her hands up. Ming screamed when Kero attacked her ankle, dropping Kari unto the steps.
Wake me up. Bid my blood to run
"Kari run" Sakura ordered making her get up but instead of running down the stairs she ran up. Ming lost her gun when Kero bit her, kicking Kero away she looked at Sakura before following Kari who was running up the stairs. "Leave her alone" I can't wake up. Before I come undone
"Fuck off" Ming replied Sakura started to skip steps in order to catch up with them. She ducked when someone started to fire on the steps she was on. Looking up she saw that it was Tigers, the stairs sparked when bullets hit it. Cursing she moved as fast as she could behind Ming, she looked up wondering why they had stopped firing only to see that they were dead, killed by two of Avalon's men.
Save me. Save me from the nothing I've become
"No" Kari screamed feeling Ming grab her by the feet making her fall on her stomach. She could feel the heat emitting from the mixers below her, her stared into the green liquid but snapped out of it when Ming started to pull her back. "No" she cried trying to kick free.
Now that I know what I'm without you can't just leave me
"Let her go you bitch" Sakura cried from behind kicking Ming in the back making her cry out letting go of Kari who scrambled to her feet. Ming turned into her belly and kicked Sakura off almost making her fall over the railing. She flip to her feet going towards Sakura attacking her with kicks and punches but Sakura blocked them. Breathe into me and make me real Bring me to life
"Yah" Ming yelled swiping Sakura off her feet making her land onto her back making the walkway they were on shake. Sakura got her to feet when Ming charged at her, Kari watched in fear when they both stopped looking at each other.
(Wake me up. Wake me up inside
"Mom?" Kari whispered wondering who had gotten hurt. She slowly started to move toward them, praying that she hadn't lost her mother. Ming stumbled back holding her stomach, she swayed and Sakura jump kicked her making her fall over the railing right into the liquid screaming.
I can't wake up. Wake me up inside
"Kari?" Sakura whispered making Kari run into her arms crying. Sakura hugged her daughter but made sure to be careful of the vest she was wearing. She wished Eriol were here right now, cause she hadn't a clue where the control was that set this off.
Save me. Call my name and save me from the dark
"Oh baby" she picked Kari into her arms and started back to the stairs- thanking god for not making her get hurt. The walkways sway when Tiger collided with the pole that was helping to hold it up. Sakura walked faster seeing that it was becoming unstable.
Wake me up. Bid my blood to run
"I'm scared" Kari cried burying her head in Sakura's shoulder as she tried to make her way down the stairs. Sakura and Kari screamed feeling the stairs give out beneath them, still holding unto Kari, Sakura grips the railing.
I can't wake up. Before I come undone
"Hold on" she whispered making sure not to look down. She didn't want to know how far up they were from the floor. Kari screamed when she started to slip but Sakura held unto her hand tightly in hers.
Save me. Save me from the nothing I've become
"Don't drop me," Kari cried her vision blurred by tears as her feet dangled beneath her.
Now that I know what I'm without you can't just leave me.
"I won't just hold on" Sakura replied feeling her grip start to slip. "Please" she whispered not knowing whom she was praying to. "No" she cried loosing Kari's grip. Kari screamed feeling her self-fall away from Sakura.
Breathe into me and make me real Bring me to life.
"Fuck" Syaoran growled stumbling back; he ignored the gash in his side from Tiger as he went to attack. Tiger laughed thinking he was winning, this was great, and they ignored the sound of something exploding in the background.
(Wake me up. Wake me up inside
"Give it up" he spoke making Syaoran smirk getting ready for him, they both looked at the guns that where discarded on the ground and ran for them. Tiger kicked at Syaoran, who blocked it elbowing him in the face. Coming to the gun they picked up one and fired at each other only to find it empty. Tiger tossed it away while Syaoran used his quick load system.
I can't wake up. Wake me up inside.
"Your lacking in technology" he told Tiger before he started to fire. Tiger didn't miss the first two bullets but he missed the others and jumped behind some containers. Syaoran continued to fire making them exploded, he looked up when Tiger came out of no where and had to lay flat on his back to miss the kick that was aimed at him. He jumped to his feet and kicked Tiger across the back sending him flying into the opposite wall almost going through it.
Save me. Call my name and save me from the dark
Tiger pushed him self off the wall landing unto his back. He growled flipping to his feet only to see Syaoran coming at him. He jumped against the wall flipping over Syaoran's head kicking him into the wall. He attempted to kick him again but Syaoran moved out of the way.
Wake me up. Bid my blood to run
He looked up when her heard Kari scream, his eyes widen seeing them dangling off the ground. He kicked Tiger with such force that it sent him flying through numerous boxes. He ran to them when Kari slipped out of Sakura's hold, moving faster he caught her in his arms. "It's okay," he whispered making her know it's him. Kari started to cry and hugged him.
I can't wake up. Before I come undone
"Father" she sobbed in his chest even though she couldn't see him. Syaoran couldn't help the smile that appeared on his face.
Save me. Save me from the nothing I've become
"Shhh stand up so I can get your mother," he whispered making her nod as she stood her down. She ran and picked up Kero, who licked her cheek making her smile. "Let go," he shouted up to Sakura who automatically let go he caught her and set her down.
Bring me to life. I've been living a lie
Kari screamed seeing something move through the steam thinking it was a ghost. Sakura heard gunshots and flew off her feet when Syaoran pushed her off him. She screamed knowing he had been shot but he still moved. She landed on her back praying to god that she hadn't hurt her baby in the process. "Xiao Lang" she cried seeing him falls unto his back and she knew it was he because she could see his blood.
There's nothing inside. Bring me to life
She looked at Kari was crying and pushed her self up and ran to the wall.
Frozen inside without your touch, without your love, darling
Syaoran landed on his back feeling his body scream out from the pain. He was sure he had been shot three times and luckily it didn't kill him right away but now he wasn't so sure. "It's time that you died," Tiger spoke holding out his gun ready to fire.
Only you are the life among the dead
"Sakura" Syaoran whispered knowing that this was it; his nine lives had just run out.
All of this sight I can't believe I couldn't see
"No you leave him alone" Sakura screamed from behind swinging the weapon she had, she had on her infrared gear. Syaoran looked at Tiger's form that stiffened, his head flew off his body making his blood splatter unto him and Sakura. Syaoran moved his head when the gun went off missing his ear by mere inches. "Alone!" Sakura cried holding the ax just in case he didn't die with out his head.
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
Syaoran could hear Kari's sobs mix in with Sakura's. Tiger's headless body dropped and that was then Sakura dropped the ax. "Sakura" he whispered feeling him self-being over come by the pain and the blood he was loosing.
I've been sleeping a 1000 years it seems. I've got to open my eyes to everything
"Syaoran," Sakura gasped falling next to him. She moved her hand finding his neck right when the suit was deactivated, she pulled the masked off ignoring the tears streaming down her face. "Hey wake up, you hear me?" she cried wiping the blood from the side of his lips.
Without a thought Without a voice
"Mommy, what's wrong with Daddy?" Kari cried bending down on the other side of Syaoran. "What's wrong?" Sakura looked at Kari but wasn't able answer because she didn't know how too.
Without a soul
"Listen to me, you wake up dammit don't leave us. We need you" Sakura yelled shaking him to make sure he stayed awake. She looked up when Avalon's man walked up, "Do something!"
Don't let me die here There must be something wrong. Bring me to life.
"We're going to" one answered picking up Syaoran's body, "Dr. Avalon has called in a chopper" he stated making her nod as the other removed the mask off Tiger's head then went to headless body starting to strip the suit off him. "Come on let's get out of here"
Bring me to life.
Rika.
She wiped the tears out of her eyes feeling his pulse. "Please wake up" she whispered to her husband. Resting her head on his chest she let her tears come freely. She had tried to move him but wasn't strong enough and the pain in her arm made it even worst.
"Rika?" Alex whispered when an explosion sounded in the background. She shot up and looked at his face with worry.
"Where does it hurt, tell me where you got shot," she ordered frantically making him smile sitting up. He didn't know what the used for a bulletproof vest was if it still hurt like hell when he got shot.
"Everywhere, I guess the vest came in handy" he smiled making her feel stupid. So overcome by grief she had forgotten that he had on a vest. She threw her arms around his neck afraid that if she let go he would disappear.
"Oh god," she moaned kissing him.
"Come on Rika we have to get out of here, we'll have plenty of time for that later" He said making her nod getting up with him, he looked at her arm but she smiled.
"I'm fine, it doesn't hurt" she assured making him nod picking up his gun.
"Good let's go" He said taking her hand. They ran towards the door where Kitty had disappeared hoping it was a way out.
Kitty.
She felt her self being hit repeatedly in the chest by bullets but she ignored it. She was shocked to see that her sister had protected one of them, could it be that that was the guy she had fallen in love with? And to make matters worst she had just shot her own sister, this was one of those times she wished her aim wasn't right, she prayed for the first time that it wasn't. "Please don't make it," she whispered before her eyes closed. 'Make her live' that was her last thought when she crumbled to the ground.
Jamie ran over to Mei Lin and Rae who slowly got up, "Oh Jamie" Mei Lin cried hugging him with Rae still in her arms. She had been so scared that was it for them but he had come to the rescue.
"Are you hurt?" he asked looking them over carefully. He had been so close to being late; he didn't know what he would have done if she or Rae had been hurt and Max. He looked at Max who was still holding the other woman's body and he wondered who she was.
"No we're fine, I think its her that needs help. Jamie she was shot" Mei Lin stated making him nod. She thought it better that she didn't tell him that Kanbi was a blood sister at least not yet. Max had saved hers and Rae's life and she wanted to repay him besides the girl looked like she really loved to him. She had to have loved him if she risked her life to save him like that.
"Let's go and see, Avalon called in choppers cause Syaoran was hurt too maybe they'll be able to take her as well" he explained making her nod walking with him over to Max.
"Kanbi, hey wake up" he whispered moving her hair off her face. He couldn't believe she was blood sister, was that why she had gotten so pissed when she saw his tattoo? It had to have been the reason.
"Max, let me go. My sisters are gone, I'm the only one left" Kanbi cried knowing that Kitty had been shot. She knew that her sisters had been killed by his kind and she wasn't sure if she could live with them or him.
"No I can't loose you, I love you remember" Max replied looking into her dark blue eyes. He didn't want to lose her; he would do anything to make sure she lived. And he hated himself because she had been shot for him, she shouldn't done that because had protection unlike her.
"Let me go," Kanbi pleaded knowing that she had been shot in the side and was bleeding. She didn't want to leave him and even though she was telling him that part of her cried in refusal telling her that if she died so would her baby. "Max!" she cried brokenly torn between going with her sisters and staying with him.
"Max pick her up and lets get out of here. She needs help or she'll bleed to death" Jamie stated making her look at him, Max looked up too. She tried to stay conscious and was wondering why he was helping her when she had tried to and killed his kind.
"Right" Max answered scooping her into his arms. "Stay with me" he ordered looking down at Kanbi who wasn't so sure she would be able to hold on. And that was the last thing she heard.
Ahmed.
He looked up when Rick ran into his office looking frantic, "What's the matter?" he asked closing the file he was looking over. He couldn't believe that the cherry blossom's house had been blown up late last night. It was probably four in the morning and he was still behind his desk.
"A chemical plant exploded, they are sending people out there now to clean up the chemical but it shouldn't be a lot since it was it was under ground. Some men heading out that way were passed by black SUV and Vans heading away from the area. You think it was gang?" Rika explained making Ahmed stand up frowning, the last time something exploded and it was a public building Tiger and the Little Wolf had been dueling it out.
"If I am right I would say that this is the beginning of a little peace for us" Ahmed sighed making Rick looked at him oddly. "Its either Tiger is dead or the Little Wolf is, we'll know soon enough. Let's go and check out this plant and see what we can find"
"All right" Ahmed grabbed his jacket following Rick out of his office. He wouldn't mind if both the Gang Lords were dead, it would do Tokyo a lot of good. But then again if the Wolf were dead it would mean that his wife would follow in his footsteps. She had shown them that she was more than capable of taking care of their people on her own. That was why she was called the Queen of the Wolves.
The Wolves.
One of Avalon's nurse walked out of the room where Takashi and Chiharu were holding birth certificate paper's for Justice who was asleep. Takashi looked at his healthy baby girl caressing her small head. "She's so beautiful" he whispered walking over to his wife who smiled brightly.
"Isn't she?" Chiharu replied. Since she had gotten to Avalon's headquarters she had gotten the best medical attention. She and Takashi had spoken and were very glad that they were together again. They had also been told that Tiger was dead, and knowing that took a lot off their shoulders. "How is Xiao Lang?" she asked softly making him frown.
"He and the girl that Max brought back are still in the operating room. Sakura and everyone are a nervous wreck. All we can do is pray that everything goes fine, I know he'll pull through" Takashi answered taking her hand in his caressing his softly making her smile nodding. He was right that was all that they could do, and it seemed like they were doing a lot of that. "Why don't you rest up? I'll go and see if anything has changed"
"Okay but hurry back" Chiharu sighed when he nodded and placed a soft kiss on her lips. When he walked out the door she looked at her daughter and smiled drifting off to sleep.
Yelen looked at Kari who was staring out the window; walking closer to the child she noticed that her eyes were closed. She waited until she opened them, "What are you doing Kari?" she asked looking at her, her clothing was filthy.
"I'm praying for Daddy," she answered making Yelen smile sitting beside her. She as really worried about her son; she prayed that he would again pull through. "Mum told me if I prayed god would answer my prayers"
"She's right" Yelen answered touching her grandchild's cheek lovingly. "Come on, let's return" Kari nodded taking Yelen's hand.
Sakura leaned up against the wall staring at the door that led to the operating room. She had long ago run out of tears, so now all she felt was worry and numbness. She looked at Eriol, who was holding a sleeping Tomoyo then at Naoko and Mika, who was holding his son in his arms. Mei Lin and Jamie looked just like Naoko and Mika; Rika and Alex were also staring at the door, Rika's arm was fixed up.
She looked at Kari who walked up with Yelen; Kari looked at her mother and ran into Sakura's arms. Sakura picked her up hugging her closely, she could see that Kari was also very worried and she prayed that she wouldn't have to know what it was like to lose a parent. "It's going to be alright," she whispered glancing at Max who she knew was going through the same thing.
Everyone looked up when one of the doctors walked through the room but instead of looking at Sakura he looked at Max who pushed himself off the wall. Max wasn't so sure he wanted to hear the news that he was about to get. "Max?" the man asked making him nod. "Can I talk here?" he asked unsurely.
"Yeah, they are my family" Max answered in a soft voice not at all betraying what he was feeling at the moment.
"Well did you know that the young woman was pregnant?" Max looked at him in disbelief. He hadn't known that, oh god what if she had lost her baby? Their baby? He didn't know how he would be able to handle that, he didn't even want to think about how Kanbi would handle it and that was if she was still of this world.
"No" he got out this throat tightening. Mei Lin and everyone looked at him sadly, her hold unto Rae, who was sound asleep in her arms, tightened. "How are they?"
"I'm sorry" he answered making Max feel like he wanted to kill somebody. "But we weren't able to save the child but the mother is still alive. We've moved her to one of the rooms" he continued making him nod.
"C-can I go and see her?" he asked now knowing what it felt like to lose a child even though he had just found out about it. No matter what anyone said, he had just lost his very first child and it was because of him. He killed his baby; Kanbi was going to hate him. And he wouldn't blame her if she did, he wouldn't blame her at all because he was guilty.
"Come right this way" everyone watched them leave in silence Mei Lin hid her head in Jamie's neck trying to hold back tears. She saw the look in Max's eyes, and she knew that he was blaming him self. She knew he thought he had killed his child and that that girl was going to hate him.
"It's not right" she whispered softly knowing exactly what he was feeling even though she had lost Renzo and not a child. This morning she had been close to losing her child but Max and Jamie saved them.
Sakura's eyes flew to the door when Avalon walked out looking stressed. Everyone stood up, at least those who could. He ran his hand through his hair glancing over them then finally they landed on Sakura and Kari. "Well it was a lucky shot" he started off making people hold their breaths. "We were able to save him, he lost a lot blood but he'll be fine but-"
"But?" everyone asked making him sweat drop, Jack was right they were too much like each other.
"I'm sorry, he's still unconscious so we haven't any clue if any else was damaged. One of the bullets came deathly close to his spinal cord" everyone gasp and Sakura felt tears burn her eyes.
"Can I see my husband?" she asked softly making him nod sighing. Yelen didn't even realize when Eriol took her hand in his. She prayed to god that he wouldn't make her son disabled; she couldn't live with the fact that he wouldn't be able to use his legs.
"Yes, Iris will show you the direction" Avalon nodded at the nurse who walked off with Sakura following behind. "I'm sorry" he said to everyone making them look at him and nod.
Max.
He walked into Kanbi's room only to see her awake and looking towards the window probably wondering where she was. She sensed his presence cause she turned to look at him and saw the tears in her eyes making his heart ache. He walked over to her not knowing how she was going to lash out but he would take everything she threw at him.
"I'm alone" she whispered softly looking at his haunted face. "They are gone, and they were killed by your people and no matter how much I try to hate you or them I can't and I feel like a fucking traitor," she yelled but winced in pain feeling her side throb. "And you know what else, I know that I've lost my baby as well"
"Kanbi, I'm sorry" he whispered making her eyes harden, they were glaciers. He stopped knowing that he was probably causing her more pain.
"Sorry is that all you have to fucking say? Sorry can't do shit for me, sorry can't bring back my sisters, my parents or my baby and sorry can't kill me cause I want to die. I told you to make me die, because I feel like I'm dead anyways" She growled feeling empty like a void. She had no one, her sisters were her everything. It was with them that she felt at home, she had been feeling at home with him as well but that was when he wasn't a wolf.
"You don't mean that" Max objected making her gives him a look that could kill. He scowled looking at her with the same coldness. "You have me, I'm not going to leave you though you might hate me"
"That's right I do hate you and I don't want you so leave me alone better yet why don't you get me a gun so I can do anyway with my self" Kanbi hissed painfully not breaking their eye contact.
"Never, I didn't know it was you if I had I wouldn't have shot you" Max spoke swallowing the lump in his throat.
"Bullshit don't lie to me, if I had shot them you would have killed me" Kanbi replied distastefully wiping her eyes. She felt like a fucking idiot to be crying in front of him but she couldn't help her self. How she wanted to have him hold her and tell that it he wasn't going to leave her but she couldn't because he was her enemy.
"I wouldn't have shot you to kill you but maybe to stop you from killing them. They are my family, the only family I have. I've been a orphan from since I was a child, but like it or not I was a born wolf" Max replied tightly. "And it doesn't matter if I am or not because it changes nothing"
"It does change everything, your family killed my family"
"If they hadn't your sisters would have killed them, it was fair dammit so don't try to make it seem like we were in the wrong cause we both were" Max yelled making her wince. "You aren't Tigers you are assassins so therefore you didn't have to agree to kill us but it was for money that's what you work for"
"Exactly, I'm a ruthless killer so therefore I shouldn't be alive" She screamed tearing the IV cord off like all the other monitors making the cardiac machine flat line. She swung her self out of bed ignoring the pain in her side, "I'm leaving this dam place and you can't stop me with out killing me" she stated meaning every word she was saying even though she was in a gown that was open in the back. She walked out the door and pushed the first doctor she came across against the wall and took his coat.
Max walked out of the room and held unto her arm making her shoot daggers at him. "Please don't leave, Kanbi I love you doesn't that count for something?" he asked brokenly. Kanbi looked him in the eyes and almost gave in, she didn't want to leave him but she couldn't stay with him. She wasn't sure what she wanted to do but right now she couldn't be around them.
"Please just let me go, I need time to my self. I've just lost everything; I can't be around you or anyone. Let me go Max" She pleaded pulling her hand free of his hold right when Mei Lin and the others round the corner heading for Syaoran's room. Mikelle and Rae looked at Kanbi and held unto their parents in fear hiding their faces. Naoko and Tomoyo looked at the woman who had kidnapped them wondering what she was doing here of all places.
"What the hell is she doing here?" Tomoyo yelled angrily pointing at her. She didn't now that this was the woman who they had brought her along with Syaoran. She couldn't believe what she was seeing, how and why was she her but seeing the look in Max's eyes she knew and her heart tightens.
"Yea she's one of the Blood Sisters" Naoko continued making those who didn't know gasp. Jamie looked at Mei Lin and Max wondering why they hadn't told him who she was. Stupid him for thinking that she was one of Avalon's personnel who had gone with them since, as she was dressed like them.
Kanbi saw the hard look in all their eyes and smiled knowing that she was right, even if she wanted to stay with Max she wouldn't be able to because they would never accept her. "Yes that's right one of the blood sisters, tell me how did it feel killing my sisters? And are you going to kill me now?" she spat glaring at them. The guys thought she had a lot of balls talking to them when she was out numbered and without any weapons.
"There's no reason why you should be so pissed because you sister ruthlessly shot my husband six times and didn't even bother to regret it" Rika hissed stepping forward angrily. Kanbi stepped forward making them get defensive; they were ready to kill her if she did anything.
"Guys don't, she saved Max's life" Mei Lin stated making everyone look at her wondering what the hell she as talking about. "Isn't that right?" she looked directly at Kanbi who couldn't deny it.
"Believe what you want, I'm leaving and the only way you can stop me is by killing me" Kanbi declared continuing on her way.
"Kanbi?" Max tried again making her stop; closing her eyes she held back tears holding her side.
"No Max, it can't it's impossible" she stated before continuing on her way.
"No let her go" Max said making them nod. They watched him turned towards the wall and rested his head on it, his fist resting beside his head. Kanbi walked half down the hall her steps coming shorter and shorter. Her mind screamed at her to continue battling her hearts signals. She started to cry not knowing to do, walk out of his life forever or go back to him. She needed to make up her mind; eventually she came to a stop looking at the front door before her. Her mind said 'walk through it and you're free' but her heart told her to turn around and go back to him.
Author's note: Well you guys are going to help me, Should Kanbi go? Or return? Well I hope you hurry up and decide LOL I know I would stay, she shouldn't leave she ain't got not one left. Ne wayz hurry up and review, I want to know what ya'll thinking. Ja.
Author's note: I know, I know, I'm the most evilest person on the face of the world LOL. I can't help my self. I'm sorry for being so evil. Thank you to everyone who reviewed I love ya'll LOL. I really do. I'm sorry for the late update but I caught a bad cause of the Flu that's going around Virginia Beach. It sucks.
I don't have a lot to say except I hope you enjoy this chapter. I have a feeling you will be enjoying it immensely.
Ne wayz on wit story.
Tiger looked up at the walkways that were suspended in the air when a man yelled flying over the railing into the boiling chemical container below. He smirked knowing that the wolf was upon him. "Ming grab the brat" he spoke making her walk over to Kari. "It's about time," He shouted knowing that he should be just as strong as Syaoran since as his suit was upgraded.
How can you see into my eyes like open doors.
"SO eager to die?" Syaoran replied jumping over the railing landing on his feet. He looked at Kari who was being held by Ming. He could see that she recognized his voice but she couldn't see him. "It's okay Kari" he spoke seeing how afraid she was.
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb.
"Isn't that cute" Tiger spat charging at Syaoran, he blocked Tiger's punches moving back. He did a kick but Tiger blocked it and uppercut him sending him flying backwards into a desk breaking it into millions of pieces. Tiger pulled out of his gun and started to fire on Syaoran who back flip at an incredible rate. Tiger walked towards him still using the machine gun. Syaoran jumped against the wall and spun around kicking Tiger across the face making him spin landing on the ground. Just as fast as he hit the ground he was up in a mere second and they were fighting again.
Without a soul my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
"Shit" Ming cursed not knowing where they were. She looked up when Sakura ran into the room and their eyes met.
until you find it there and lead it back home.
"Mommy" Kari cried trying to run off but Ming grabbed her holding a gun to her head. (Wake me up. Wake me up inside
"Don't move or I'll blow her brains out. Put down your guns" Ming ordered Sakura who dropped her guns. She moved back towards the stairs that headed up the walkways suspended in the air.
I can't wake up. Wake me up inside.
"Let her go, this has nothing to do with her" Sakura stated seeing a huge indent appear in a wall. She knew that Syaoran and Tiger were fighting but Tiger wouldn't attack her cause he was having enough trouble keeping Syaoran at bay.
Save me. Call my name and save me from the dark.
"Right bitch, I don't take chances," Ming spat moving up the steps with Kero following along with Sakura who had her hands up. Ming screamed when Kero attacked her ankle, dropping Kari unto the steps.
Wake me up. Bid my blood to run
"Kari run" Sakura ordered making her get up but instead of running down the stairs she ran up. Ming lost her gun when Kero bit her, kicking Kero away she looked at Sakura before following Kari who was running up the stairs. "Leave her alone" I can't wake up. Before I come undone
"Fuck off" Ming replied Sakura started to skip steps in order to catch up with them. She ducked when someone started to fire on the steps she was on. Looking up she saw that it was Tigers, the stairs sparked when bullets hit it. Cursing she moved as fast as she could behind Ming, she looked up wondering why they had stopped firing only to see that they were dead, killed by two of Avalon's men.
Save me. Save me from the nothing I've become
"No" Kari screamed feeling Ming grab her by the feet making her fall on her stomach. She could feel the heat emitting from the mixers below her, her stared into the green liquid but snapped out of it when Ming started to pull her back. "No" she cried trying to kick free.
Now that I know what I'm without you can't just leave me
"Let her go you bitch" Sakura cried from behind kicking Ming in the back making her cry out letting go of Kari who scrambled to her feet. Ming turned into her belly and kicked Sakura off almost making her fall over the railing. She flip to her feet going towards Sakura attacking her with kicks and punches but Sakura blocked them. Breathe into me and make me real Bring me to life
"Yah" Ming yelled swiping Sakura off her feet making her land onto her back making the walkway they were on shake. Sakura got her to feet when Ming charged at her, Kari watched in fear when they both stopped looking at each other.
(Wake me up. Wake me up inside
"Mom?" Kari whispered wondering who had gotten hurt. She slowly started to move toward them, praying that she hadn't lost her mother. Ming stumbled back holding her stomach, she swayed and Sakura jump kicked her making her fall over the railing right into the liquid screaming.
I can't wake up. Wake me up inside
"Kari?" Sakura whispered making Kari run into her arms crying. Sakura hugged her daughter but made sure to be careful of the vest she was wearing. She wished Eriol were here right now, cause she hadn't a clue where the control was that set this off.
Save me. Call my name and save me from the dark
"Oh baby" she picked Kari into her arms and started back to the stairs- thanking god for not making her get hurt. The walkways sway when Tiger collided with the pole that was helping to hold it up. Sakura walked faster seeing that it was becoming unstable.
Wake me up. Bid my blood to run
"I'm scared" Kari cried burying her head in Sakura's shoulder as she tried to make her way down the stairs. Sakura and Kari screamed feeling the stairs give out beneath them, still holding unto Kari, Sakura grips the railing.
I can't wake up. Before I come undone
"Hold on" she whispered making sure not to look down. She didn't want to know how far up they were from the floor. Kari screamed when she started to slip but Sakura held unto her hand tightly in hers.
Save me. Save me from the nothing I've become
"Don't drop me," Kari cried her vision blurred by tears as her feet dangled beneath her.
Now that I know what I'm without you can't just leave me.
"I won't just hold on" Sakura replied feeling her grip start to slip. "Please" she whispered not knowing whom she was praying to. "No" she cried loosing Kari's grip. Kari screamed feeling her self-fall away from Sakura.
Breathe into me and make me real Bring me to life.
"Fuck" Syaoran growled stumbling back; he ignored the gash in his side from Tiger as he went to attack. Tiger laughed thinking he was winning, this was great, and they ignored the sound of something exploding in the background.
(Wake me up. Wake me up inside
"Give it up" he spoke making Syaoran smirk getting ready for him, they both looked at the guns that where discarded on the ground and ran for them. Tiger kicked at Syaoran, who blocked it elbowing him in the face. Coming to the gun they picked up one and fired at each other only to find it empty. Tiger tossed it away while Syaoran used his quick load system.
I can't wake up. Wake me up inside.
"Your lacking in technology" he told Tiger before he started to fire. Tiger didn't miss the first two bullets but he missed the others and jumped behind some containers. Syaoran continued to fire making them exploded, he looked up when Tiger came out of no where and had to lay flat on his back to miss the kick that was aimed at him. He jumped to his feet and kicked Tiger across the back sending him flying into the opposite wall almost going through it.
Save me. Call my name and save me from the dark
Tiger pushed him self off the wall landing unto his back. He growled flipping to his feet only to see Syaoran coming at him. He jumped against the wall flipping over Syaoran's head kicking him into the wall. He attempted to kick him again but Syaoran moved out of the way.
Wake me up. Bid my blood to run
He looked up when her heard Kari scream, his eyes widen seeing them dangling off the ground. He kicked Tiger with such force that it sent him flying through numerous boxes. He ran to them when Kari slipped out of Sakura's hold, moving faster he caught her in his arms. "It's okay," he whispered making her know it's him. Kari started to cry and hugged him.
I can't wake up. Before I come undone
"Father" she sobbed in his chest even though she couldn't see him. Syaoran couldn't help the smile that appeared on his face.
Save me. Save me from the nothing I've become
"Shhh stand up so I can get your mother," he whispered making her nod as she stood her down. She ran and picked up Kero, who licked her cheek making her smile. "Let go," he shouted up to Sakura who automatically let go he caught her and set her down.
Bring me to life. I've been living a lie
Kari screamed seeing something move through the steam thinking it was a ghost. Sakura heard gunshots and flew off her feet when Syaoran pushed her off him. She screamed knowing he had been shot but he still moved. She landed on her back praying to god that she hadn't hurt her baby in the process. "Xiao Lang" she cried seeing him falls unto his back and she knew it was he because she could see his blood.
There's nothing inside. Bring me to life
She looked at Kari was crying and pushed her self up and ran to the wall.
Frozen inside without your touch, without your love, darling
Syaoran landed on his back feeling his body scream out from the pain. He was sure he had been shot three times and luckily it didn't kill him right away but now he wasn't so sure. "It's time that you died," Tiger spoke holding out his gun ready to fire.
Only you are the life among the dead
"Sakura" Syaoran whispered knowing that this was it; his nine lives had just run out.
All of this sight I can't believe I couldn't see
"No you leave him alone" Sakura screamed from behind swinging the weapon she had, she had on her infrared gear. Syaoran looked at Tiger's form that stiffened, his head flew off his body making his blood splatter unto him and Sakura. Syaoran moved his head when the gun went off missing his ear by mere inches. "Alone!" Sakura cried holding the ax just in case he didn't die with out his head.
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
Syaoran could hear Kari's sobs mix in with Sakura's. Tiger's headless body dropped and that was then Sakura dropped the ax. "Sakura" he whispered feeling him self-being over come by the pain and the blood he was loosing.
I've been sleeping a 1000 years it seems. I've got to open my eyes to everything
"Syaoran," Sakura gasped falling next to him. She moved her hand finding his neck right when the suit was deactivated, she pulled the masked off ignoring the tears streaming down her face. "Hey wake up, you hear me?" she cried wiping the blood from the side of his lips.
Without a thought Without a voice
"Mommy, what's wrong with Daddy?" Kari cried bending down on the other side of Syaoran. "What's wrong?" Sakura looked at Kari but wasn't able answer because she didn't know how too.
Without a soul
"Listen to me, you wake up dammit don't leave us. We need you" Sakura yelled shaking him to make sure he stayed awake. She looked up when Avalon's man walked up, "Do something!"
Don't let me die here There must be something wrong. Bring me to life.
"We're going to" one answered picking up Syaoran's body, "Dr. Avalon has called in a chopper" he stated making her nod as the other removed the mask off Tiger's head then went to headless body starting to strip the suit off him. "Come on let's get out of here"
Bring me to life.
Rika.
She wiped the tears out of her eyes feeling his pulse. "Please wake up" she whispered to her husband. Resting her head on his chest she let her tears come freely. She had tried to move him but wasn't strong enough and the pain in her arm made it even worst.
"Rika?" Alex whispered when an explosion sounded in the background. She shot up and looked at his face with worry.
"Where does it hurt, tell me where you got shot," she ordered frantically making him smile sitting up. He didn't know what the used for a bulletproof vest was if it still hurt like hell when he got shot.
"Everywhere, I guess the vest came in handy" he smiled making her feel stupid. So overcome by grief she had forgotten that he had on a vest. She threw her arms around his neck afraid that if she let go he would disappear.
"Oh god," she moaned kissing him.
"Come on Rika we have to get out of here, we'll have plenty of time for that later" He said making her nod getting up with him, he looked at her arm but she smiled.
"I'm fine, it doesn't hurt" she assured making him nod picking up his gun.
"Good let's go" He said taking her hand. They ran towards the door where Kitty had disappeared hoping it was a way out.
Kitty.
She felt her self being hit repeatedly in the chest by bullets but she ignored it. She was shocked to see that her sister had protected one of them, could it be that that was the guy she had fallen in love with? And to make matters worst she had just shot her own sister, this was one of those times she wished her aim wasn't right, she prayed for the first time that it wasn't. "Please don't make it," she whispered before her eyes closed. 'Make her live' that was her last thought when she crumbled to the ground.
Jamie ran over to Mei Lin and Rae who slowly got up, "Oh Jamie" Mei Lin cried hugging him with Rae still in her arms. She had been so scared that was it for them but he had come to the rescue.
"Are you hurt?" he asked looking them over carefully. He had been so close to being late; he didn't know what he would have done if she or Rae had been hurt and Max. He looked at Max who was still holding the other woman's body and he wondered who she was.
"No we're fine, I think its her that needs help. Jamie she was shot" Mei Lin stated making him nod. She thought it better that she didn't tell him that Kanbi was a blood sister at least not yet. Max had saved hers and Rae's life and she wanted to repay him besides the girl looked like she really loved to him. She had to have loved him if she risked her life to save him like that.
"Let's go and see, Avalon called in choppers cause Syaoran was hurt too maybe they'll be able to take her as well" he explained making her nod walking with him over to Max.
"Kanbi, hey wake up" he whispered moving her hair off her face. He couldn't believe she was blood sister, was that why she had gotten so pissed when she saw his tattoo? It had to have been the reason.
"Max, let me go. My sisters are gone, I'm the only one left" Kanbi cried knowing that Kitty had been shot. She knew that her sisters had been killed by his kind and she wasn't sure if she could live with them or him.
"No I can't loose you, I love you remember" Max replied looking into her dark blue eyes. He didn't want to lose her; he would do anything to make sure she lived. And he hated himself because she had been shot for him, she shouldn't done that because had protection unlike her.
"Let me go," Kanbi pleaded knowing that she had been shot in the side and was bleeding. She didn't want to leave him and even though she was telling him that part of her cried in refusal telling her that if she died so would her baby. "Max!" she cried brokenly torn between going with her sisters and staying with him.
"Max pick her up and lets get out of here. She needs help or she'll bleed to death" Jamie stated making her look at him, Max looked up too. She tried to stay conscious and was wondering why he was helping her when she had tried to and killed his kind.
"Right" Max answered scooping her into his arms. "Stay with me" he ordered looking down at Kanbi who wasn't so sure she would be able to hold on. And that was the last thing she heard.
Ahmed.
He looked up when Rick ran into his office looking frantic, "What's the matter?" he asked closing the file he was looking over. He couldn't believe that the cherry blossom's house had been blown up late last night. It was probably four in the morning and he was still behind his desk.
"A chemical plant exploded, they are sending people out there now to clean up the chemical but it shouldn't be a lot since it was it was under ground. Some men heading out that way were passed by black SUV and Vans heading away from the area. You think it was gang?" Rika explained making Ahmed stand up frowning, the last time something exploded and it was a public building Tiger and the Little Wolf had been dueling it out.
"If I am right I would say that this is the beginning of a little peace for us" Ahmed sighed making Rick looked at him oddly. "Its either Tiger is dead or the Little Wolf is, we'll know soon enough. Let's go and check out this plant and see what we can find"
"All right" Ahmed grabbed his jacket following Rick out of his office. He wouldn't mind if both the Gang Lords were dead, it would do Tokyo a lot of good. But then again if the Wolf were dead it would mean that his wife would follow in his footsteps. She had shown them that she was more than capable of taking care of their people on her own. That was why she was called the Queen of the Wolves.
The Wolves.
One of Avalon's nurse walked out of the room where Takashi and Chiharu were holding birth certificate paper's for Justice who was asleep. Takashi looked at his healthy baby girl caressing her small head. "She's so beautiful" he whispered walking over to his wife who smiled brightly.
"Isn't she?" Chiharu replied. Since she had gotten to Avalon's headquarters she had gotten the best medical attention. She and Takashi had spoken and were very glad that they were together again. They had also been told that Tiger was dead, and knowing that took a lot off their shoulders. "How is Xiao Lang?" she asked softly making him frown.
"He and the girl that Max brought back are still in the operating room. Sakura and everyone are a nervous wreck. All we can do is pray that everything goes fine, I know he'll pull through" Takashi answered taking her hand in his caressing his softly making her smile nodding. He was right that was all that they could do, and it seemed like they were doing a lot of that. "Why don't you rest up? I'll go and see if anything has changed"
"Okay but hurry back" Chiharu sighed when he nodded and placed a soft kiss on her lips. When he walked out the door she looked at her daughter and smiled drifting off to sleep.
Yelen looked at Kari who was staring out the window; walking closer to the child she noticed that her eyes were closed. She waited until she opened them, "What are you doing Kari?" she asked looking at her, her clothing was filthy.
"I'm praying for Daddy," she answered making Yelen smile sitting beside her. She as really worried about her son; she prayed that he would again pull through. "Mum told me if I prayed god would answer my prayers"
"She's right" Yelen answered touching her grandchild's cheek lovingly. "Come on, let's return" Kari nodded taking Yelen's hand.
Sakura leaned up against the wall staring at the door that led to the operating room. She had long ago run out of tears, so now all she felt was worry and numbness. She looked at Eriol, who was holding a sleeping Tomoyo then at Naoko and Mika, who was holding his son in his arms. Mei Lin and Jamie looked just like Naoko and Mika; Rika and Alex were also staring at the door, Rika's arm was fixed up.
She looked at Kari who walked up with Yelen; Kari looked at her mother and ran into Sakura's arms. Sakura picked her up hugging her closely, she could see that Kari was also very worried and she prayed that she wouldn't have to know what it was like to lose a parent. "It's going to be alright," she whispered glancing at Max who she knew was going through the same thing.
Everyone looked up when one of the doctors walked through the room but instead of looking at Sakura he looked at Max who pushed himself off the wall. Max wasn't so sure he wanted to hear the news that he was about to get. "Max?" the man asked making him nod. "Can I talk here?" he asked unsurely.
"Yeah, they are my family" Max answered in a soft voice not at all betraying what he was feeling at the moment.
"Well did you know that the young woman was pregnant?" Max looked at him in disbelief. He hadn't known that, oh god what if she had lost her baby? Their baby? He didn't know how he would be able to handle that, he didn't even want to think about how Kanbi would handle it and that was if she was still of this world.
"No" he got out this throat tightening. Mei Lin and everyone looked at him sadly, her hold unto Rae, who was sound asleep in her arms, tightened. "How are they?"
"I'm sorry" he answered making Max feel like he wanted to kill somebody. "But we weren't able to save the child but the mother is still alive. We've moved her to one of the rooms" he continued making him nod.
"C-can I go and see her?" he asked now knowing what it felt like to lose a child even though he had just found out about it. No matter what anyone said, he had just lost his very first child and it was because of him. He killed his baby; Kanbi was going to hate him. And he wouldn't blame her if she did, he wouldn't blame her at all because he was guilty.
"Come right this way" everyone watched them leave in silence Mei Lin hid her head in Jamie's neck trying to hold back tears. She saw the look in Max's eyes, and she knew that he was blaming him self. She knew he thought he had killed his child and that that girl was going to hate him.
"It's not right" she whispered softly knowing exactly what he was feeling even though she had lost Renzo and not a child. This morning she had been close to losing her child but Max and Jamie saved them.
Sakura's eyes flew to the door when Avalon walked out looking stressed. Everyone stood up, at least those who could. He ran his hand through his hair glancing over them then finally they landed on Sakura and Kari. "Well it was a lucky shot" he started off making people hold their breaths. "We were able to save him, he lost a lot blood but he'll be fine but-"
"But?" everyone asked making him sweat drop, Jack was right they were too much like each other.
"I'm sorry, he's still unconscious so we haven't any clue if any else was damaged. One of the bullets came deathly close to his spinal cord" everyone gasp and Sakura felt tears burn her eyes.
"Can I see my husband?" she asked softly making him nod sighing. Yelen didn't even realize when Eriol took her hand in his. She prayed to god that he wouldn't make her son disabled; she couldn't live with the fact that he wouldn't be able to use his legs.
"Yes, Iris will show you the direction" Avalon nodded at the nurse who walked off with Sakura following behind. "I'm sorry" he said to everyone making them look at him and nod.
Max.
He walked into Kanbi's room only to see her awake and looking towards the window probably wondering where she was. She sensed his presence cause she turned to look at him and saw the tears in her eyes making his heart ache. He walked over to her not knowing how she was going to lash out but he would take everything she threw at him.
"I'm alone" she whispered softly looking at his haunted face. "They are gone, and they were killed by your people and no matter how much I try to hate you or them I can't and I feel like a fucking traitor," she yelled but winced in pain feeling her side throb. "And you know what else, I know that I've lost my baby as well"
"Kanbi, I'm sorry" he whispered making her eyes harden, they were glaciers. He stopped knowing that he was probably causing her more pain.
"Sorry is that all you have to fucking say? Sorry can't do shit for me, sorry can't bring back my sisters, my parents or my baby and sorry can't kill me cause I want to die. I told you to make me die, because I feel like I'm dead anyways" She growled feeling empty like a void. She had no one, her sisters were her everything. It was with them that she felt at home, she had been feeling at home with him as well but that was when he wasn't a wolf.
"You don't mean that" Max objected making her gives him a look that could kill. He scowled looking at her with the same coldness. "You have me, I'm not going to leave you though you might hate me"
"That's right I do hate you and I don't want you so leave me alone better yet why don't you get me a gun so I can do anyway with my self" Kanbi hissed painfully not breaking their eye contact.
"Never, I didn't know it was you if I had I wouldn't have shot you" Max spoke swallowing the lump in his throat.
"Bullshit don't lie to me, if I had shot them you would have killed me" Kanbi replied distastefully wiping her eyes. She felt like a fucking idiot to be crying in front of him but she couldn't help her self. How she wanted to have him hold her and tell that it he wasn't going to leave her but she couldn't because he was her enemy.
"I wouldn't have shot you to kill you but maybe to stop you from killing them. They are my family, the only family I have. I've been a orphan from since I was a child, but like it or not I was a born wolf" Max replied tightly. "And it doesn't matter if I am or not because it changes nothing"
"It does change everything, your family killed my family"
"If they hadn't your sisters would have killed them, it was fair dammit so don't try to make it seem like we were in the wrong cause we both were" Max yelled making her wince. "You aren't Tigers you are assassins so therefore you didn't have to agree to kill us but it was for money that's what you work for"
"Exactly, I'm a ruthless killer so therefore I shouldn't be alive" She screamed tearing the IV cord off like all the other monitors making the cardiac machine flat line. She swung her self out of bed ignoring the pain in her side, "I'm leaving this dam place and you can't stop me with out killing me" she stated meaning every word she was saying even though she was in a gown that was open in the back. She walked out the door and pushed the first doctor she came across against the wall and took his coat.
Max walked out of the room and held unto her arm making her shoot daggers at him. "Please don't leave, Kanbi I love you doesn't that count for something?" he asked brokenly. Kanbi looked him in the eyes and almost gave in, she didn't want to leave him but she couldn't stay with him. She wasn't sure what she wanted to do but right now she couldn't be around them.
"Please just let me go, I need time to my self. I've just lost everything; I can't be around you or anyone. Let me go Max" She pleaded pulling her hand free of his hold right when Mei Lin and the others round the corner heading for Syaoran's room. Mikelle and Rae looked at Kanbi and held unto their parents in fear hiding their faces. Naoko and Tomoyo looked at the woman who had kidnapped them wondering what she was doing here of all places.
"What the hell is she doing here?" Tomoyo yelled angrily pointing at her. She didn't now that this was the woman who they had brought her along with Syaoran. She couldn't believe what she was seeing, how and why was she her but seeing the look in Max's eyes she knew and her heart tightens.
"Yea she's one of the Blood Sisters" Naoko continued making those who didn't know gasp. Jamie looked at Mei Lin and Max wondering why they hadn't told him who she was. Stupid him for thinking that she was one of Avalon's personnel who had gone with them since, as she was dressed like them.
Kanbi saw the hard look in all their eyes and smiled knowing that she was right, even if she wanted to stay with Max she wouldn't be able to because they would never accept her. "Yes that's right one of the blood sisters, tell me how did it feel killing my sisters? And are you going to kill me now?" she spat glaring at them. The guys thought she had a lot of balls talking to them when she was out numbered and without any weapons.
"There's no reason why you should be so pissed because you sister ruthlessly shot my husband six times and didn't even bother to regret it" Rika hissed stepping forward angrily. Kanbi stepped forward making them get defensive; they were ready to kill her if she did anything.
"Guys don't, she saved Max's life" Mei Lin stated making everyone look at her wondering what the hell she as talking about. "Isn't that right?" she looked directly at Kanbi who couldn't deny it.
"Believe what you want, I'm leaving and the only way you can stop me is by killing me" Kanbi declared continuing on her way.
"Kanbi?" Max tried again making her stop; closing her eyes she held back tears holding her side.
"No Max, it can't it's impossible" she stated before continuing on her way.
"No let her go" Max said making them nod. They watched him turned towards the wall and rested his head on it, his fist resting beside his head. Kanbi walked half down the hall her steps coming shorter and shorter. Her mind screamed at her to continue battling her hearts signals. She started to cry not knowing to do, walk out of his life forever or go back to him. She needed to make up her mind; eventually she came to a stop looking at the front door before her. Her mind said 'walk through it and you're free' but her heart told her to turn around and go back to him.
Author's note: Well you guys are going to help me, Should Kanbi go? Or return? Well I hope you hurry up and decide LOL I know I would stay, she shouldn't leave she ain't got not one left. Ne wayz hurry up and review, I want to know what ya'll thinking. Ja.
