Chapter 23

Sora steps over Yelen and Xander who are passed out on the floor and stands in front of the leaders. She looks at Tara, "This is my battle, from the beginning. Before I was born I was the start of all these problems. You will deal with me not them." Says Sora coldly as she nods her heads to the leaders behind her.

"You stupid little girl, do you not know what I'm going to do? I'm going to kill you all and I will take over." Says Tara wondering why a sixteen year-old girl could stand up to her like this.

"I'm not going to die, and neither is my family. You don't have the guts to kill me, you will have one of your lackies do it for you. You don't have the spine to kill me." Snaps Sora.

"Sora stop." Hisses Sakura from behind but Li puts his hand over Sakura's mouth and looks at her. Sakura looks at Li and nods.

"Fine." Snaps Tara as she pulls out a gun and points it at Sora.

Sora just stands there, smiling. "Come on Tara do it."

"Sora are you fucking insane?" says Nick as he runs to Sora's side.

Sora just looks at Nick and smiles. She looks back at Tara and she sees the fear in her eyes. So Sora walks up closer to Tara, she walks right up in front of her so that the barrel of Tara's gun is pressed against Sora's forehead. "You can't do it."

"I can." Whispers Tara as her hand begins to shake.

"Well do it. My life has been a piece of shit since before I was born, I don't deserve to live. So kill me and end my suffering." Says Sora as she looks up at Tara.

Sakura tries to run to Sora but Li holds her back. "Li she wants to be killed, I can't let her do that."

"Sora knows what she is doing. She knows Tara won't kill a willing person." Says Li softly as he holds Sakura close to him.

Tara cries out in frustration and then all the lights in the club go out leaving only pitch black. Two gun shots go off and Sakura screams for Sora. The lights come back on and the Black Heart leaders and Nick see Sora standing there in front of Tara and Tara is now holding the gun at her side. Sora turns around and faces the other Black Hearts, she is smiling.

"I heard two shots go off." Says Sakura surprised that her daughter is still alive.

Sora nods and looks over at Yelen and Xander, who's limp lifeless bodies lay there, a puddle of blood forming around the two.

"Mom." Says Li softly as he stares at his Mother's body.

Sora pulls two guns out from under her coat and she whirls around and holds one gun at Tara's right temple and above her heart. Tara drops her gun and then drops to her knees.

"I want you to leave, enter Japan and I will kill you. Give up the claim to your gang. I want all Blood Moon's out of this country. I never want to hear your name again." Says Sora so calmly it's terrifying.

Tara looks up and the teen before her and she nods, "I'll leave."

Sora kicks Tara's gun across the room and she turns around to see her parents and the other's standing there. Sora puts her guns away and walks up to Li and Sakura and she hugs them both, "I'm ready to go home."

The Black Hearts leave the club, as they walk out side they shield their eyes from the rising sun. Sora and Nick get in her car while the Leaders get in their own cars. As they drive back to the compound Sora picks up her cell and calls Lexus.

Lexus sits in the living room as the others including Fiora sleep around her. Her cell begins to ring and she answers, "Hello?"

"I think it's time you came home."

"Great cause I am so going to bitch you out when we get back." Says Lexus before hanging up. She looks at everyone in the room and she yells, "Get the fuck up."

They all wake up and look around.

"We are going home." Says Lexus happily.

Sora stands in the airport with Nick at her side and the leaders behind them a little distance. They stand there watching for their friends to come off their plane from England.

"You sure it was this flight?" asks Sora as she looks at Nick.

"Yeah I am." Says Nick with a smile as he sees the group get off the plane, with Lexus in the front.

Sora turns around and smiles brightly as she sees Lexus, she runs and hugs her tightly, "I'm sorry."

"It's ok Fiora filled us in." says Lexus.

"Don't I get a hug?" asks Bobby sheepishly as he steps up beside Sora.

"Nope you don't." says Sora as she pulls him down and kisses him deeply.

"Nick!" cries Tima as she drops her bag and runs and jumps on Nick hugging him tightly. Nick just chuckles and begins kissing Tima.

Lexus walks up to her parents, Leaving Lux and Fiora as the odd ones out.

Li walks up to Lux and Fiora, "Thank you both very much. Come and live with us."

"Thank you uncle Li." Says Lux happily.

"Yes thank you." Replies Fiora as he bows slightly.

"Come on let's go home." Says Sakura happily knowing that they are a family again.

As they walk through the airport Bobby looks at Sora, "So what happened with my mother?"

Sakura laughs and walks up beside Bobby, "We'll tell you later."

With that the Black Hearts, young and old, leave the airport to return home and live in peace.
