Chapter 21

Sora looks out the window as the lights of Japan come into sight. Beside her Nick is asleep she knows she should be asleep too but she can't, she's home and she is back for a reason. She continues to stare out the window into the night and the bright lights. Nick stirs in the seat beside her and he opens his eyes, he looks at Sora and sees her staring out the window.

"Glad to be back?"

Without looking from the window Sora nods, "You think the others know where we are?"

"I wouldn't put it past them, Lux probably went on a hunt when we didn't come back by a certain time. Have you slept at all?"

"No, I can't sleep. I want this to be over and done with."

"But Fiora said that Tara was coming to England. Do you think she really was?"

"No, if she was she would have sent someone ahead of her to track us. She wants me and she's going to get it."

"How much longer?"

"Five minutes Nick, then we go home and get some more ammo."

"Don't you think seeing us walk into the house would send up a red flag?"

"I want a red flag, I want everyone to know I'm back and I want them all to know I am just like my father."

"Everyone already knows that Sora, trust me." Says Nick as he sits back in the seat.

"Lux have you found them yet?" asks Lexus as she sits with the others in the living room while on the phone with Lux.

"No I haven't. I have no idea where they went." Says Lux as she stands in the airport after spotting Sora's car in the parking lot.

"You sound like your in a crowded place, where are you?"

"The airport. I saw Sora's car in the parking lot. You think they went home?"

"Ok come back home and be careful."

"Sure thing."

Lexus hangs up the phone and looks at the others, "It looks as if they both went back to Japan. Sora's car is in the airport parking lot."

"That's it we are going too." States Bobby firmly as he stands up.

"No we aren't. I'm in charge and I say we are staying here. I'm not loosing anyone else." Snaps Lexus as she looks at everyone in the room.

Bobby nods and sits back down, "I don't like this at all."

Lexus gets up and walks to the window and watches the rainfall outside, she looks down the driveway and sees Fiora slowly walking for the house, "Fiora." She hisses and runs for the front door.

Sora stops the rented car at the gates to the Black Hearts compound, the rising sun makes the house burn in orange light. She rolls down her window and punches in her code for the gate and surprisingly it swings open. Sora looks at Nick before heading up the driveway. She stops in front of the house and parks the car. Both her and Nick get out and walk up to the front door but just as Sora is about to open the door it flies open to reveal Li standing there with his sword in his hand and he looks worn and tired.

Sora looks at her father with sad eyes knowing that he looks like this because of her, "I'm sorry dad." She says softly.

"I see Fiora found you." Says Li before turning and walking down the hallway.

Sora and Nick look at each other before running after Li. "Dad how do you know Fiora?"

"I've know her for a long time. I called her from China and told her to find you."

"She's a Black Heart?" questions Nick as Li stops outside the study.

"Yes, I told her to go undercover as a Blood Moon. I knew that when she found you, you would return Sora. Your mother and I have missed you very much."

"Where is mom?"

"I'm the only one here. Sakura left for China yesterday after we phoned you. All the others I sent away."

"I'm here to attack the Blood Moon's. I am going to see Tara and her husband."

Li turns around and looks at his daughter, "Take what ammo you need and then go to your old school. After you left all the other Black Hearts left too. The Blood Moon's are there now. Stand in the courtyard on the spot where Alas died and they will take you to Tara and her husband."

Sora hugs Li and softly kisses him on the cheek, "Thank you dad. I have missed you very much."

"And I you Sora. Now go and do what you came to do."

Sora nods and her and Nick walk into the study and through another door that leads to a room filled with weapons.

"It's war." Says Sora with a smile.

Sora looks at her watch and sees that recess is just about to start. So her and Nick walk into the courtyard. Sora is wearing black leather pants, her black boots, a black tank top, a full length black leather coat and black sunglasses, her hair is held up in a high ponytail. Nick hadn't changed from what he was wearing yesterday. Both are loaded down with weapons. As they walk into the courtyard they hear the bell go. Sora sees a small stone angel on the spot where Alas was killed. They both stand on either side of the angel and watch all the students come out of the school.

"Who are they?" asks a girl as she walks out of the school and sees the two by the angel.

Sora takes off her sunglasses and puts them in her pocket, she pulls out a gun and fires a single shot into the air, everyone screams and drops to the ground. Everyone but a group of teens.

"Blood Moon's I am Sora Li." She states loudly and firmly.

Tara walks into the courtyard clapping, the sound echoing through the silence, "Very well done Sora. I would have never expected you to come back. But you are the daughter of Li so it makes sense.

Sora and Nick both look at the woman who is talking. She is tall and slim, her hair goes to the small of her back and it's a golden brown color, she is wearing the same outfit as Sora but only it's a midnight blue instead of black.

"She can't be Bobby's mother." Whispers Nick as he watches this woman.

"I am Tara, you have come to find me but I have found you."

"That's great. Come here often?" asks Sora as she points her gun at the head of the angel right where Alas was shot.

"No, Alas was a stupid boy. He was too much like his father. But I figured that you would come here to look for me."

"I want to see your husband as well." Says Sora as she watches Tara step up in front of her.

"Follow me then." Says Tara softly before turning and walking away.

Sora puts her sunglasses back on and motions for Nick to follow as she follows Tara.
