Chapter 7
"Reminiscing"
"You!" he whispered, shocked, "What are you doing here?" Seeing that his bedroom room was still open, he hastily closed it shut so no one would be able to see.
"Well that's a nice way to greet your boss," the mysterious person smirked, and then his eyes flashed dangerously. "I'm here to warn you," he sneered, "that if you don't make any profits for us soon then your family will die."
"I'll bring you someone shortly," Syaoran promised, "But I can't right now because I won't be able to leave my family for some time now. If I'm gone too often they'll get suspicious and start asking questions."
"Alright, I'll give you three days, but after that they're dead, got it?"
Syaoran nodded, restraining himself from launching at the man's throat. Then the guy opened the secret door that Syaoran made and disappeared into the night. Sighing, Syaoran sank into his bed.
*Flashback*
A fifteen year-old boy with unruly chestnut hair and amber eyes walked up to a man and his gang. They eyed him suspiciously as he approached their leader.
"I want to join the gang," he said determinedly.
The group laughed at him, some clutching their stomach. The leader wiped away his tear and asked, "And exactly WHY do you want to join us?"
"Because my family is poor and we need money," he stated simply, with a shrug. 'And I want to find out who killed my father,' he added in his head.
"Ok, but you need to prove to us that you're worthy of being a part of the Black Fox gang," he declared, his eyes gleaming with amusement.
"Sure, what do I have to do?"
"Koi," the leader called to a chubby man who looked like a fish. . . and smelled like one. (A/N: lol. Koi! Lol. Im sorry, but im not good w/ names. . . as u can c w/ t name of t gang n this fatty here. I just thought of a koi fish just now so I decided 2 name him that. Rofl. Ok ok im hyper. Better get back 2 t story. . .)
"Yea, boss?" he answered.
"Test him out; I want to see what he's got."
"Sure thing, boss." Koi approached Syaoran, grinning maliciously. He attempted to punch Syaoran in the stomach, but Syaoran did a round-house kick, hitting his face. Koi staggered back, wiping away the blood that was coming out of his mouth and nose. Angered, Koi tried to grab Syaoran but Syaoran ducked and tripped him, making him fall on his back.
"This is the so-called 'fearsome' gang?" Syaoran asked curtly. "All I can see are some weaklings and idiots."
The remark infuriated the gang members and the leader. They tried to jump him and beat him up but he was too fast as he dodged them easily and stroked them down without breaking a sweat. Soon all of the members - which was only about 20 because all the rest was at headquarters - were lying painfully on the ground. The leader glared at him with hatred in his eyes at what he did to his "followers".
"Very nice," he complimented.
"Thanks. So now can I join?"
"Not yet, now you have to fight me."
"You mean that in order to join these pathetic guys here had to beat you? That's a laugh. If they can beat you then I can beat you with no effort at all," Syaoran laughed.
Now his eyes were practically bulging out of his sockets with rage from the insult. "Of course they didn't! Why do you think I'm the leader?! If they had to fight me to join then there wouldn't be anyone in this gang except me!" he retorted. "But for you I'll make an exception. I want to see how good you really are for myself," he said a little more calmly this time.
"Very well, I accept your challenge."
They got ready in a fighting stance, facing each other. Seeing how the members fought Syaoran underestimated him. The leader threw the first punch, aiming for his chest. Syaoran blocked it and threw one back. He dodged and did a round-house kick. Syaoran did a flip back and bent down and tripped him. As soon as he fell down he jumped back up, doing a flying kick. Syaoran ducked and did an uppercut as the leader past him; his fist colliding with the leader's back hard, making the leader fall down. Syaoran stood there smirking triumphantly as he watched the leader lay there. Little did he know the leader had some tricks up his sleeve. He got up and swiftly threw some sand at Syaoran. Taken aback with surprise Syaoran didn't jump back and got sand in his eyes, blinding him. The leader didn't waste any time in taking Syaoran down while he was trying to get the sand out of his eyes. He ran up to him and punched him hard in the stomach. Syaoran clutched his stomach in pain as his elbow came down and jabbed him on the back. Syaoran hit the ground hard and the leader kicked him brutally as he groaned in pain. The leader smirked, knowing that he had won. Determined to not let the leader see him in pain, Syaoran stood up, holding his head high, trying to maintain what was left of his dignity.
"You were really good," the leader complimented, still smirking. "Congratulations, you made it into the gang."
"I made it? But I thought that I had to beat you in order to make it," he said with a look of defiance in his eyes.
"Yes, I did say that, didn't I? But after I saw how well you can fight - better than anyone else here save me - I thought it would be a shame to not recruit you. With you, we will be even more feared and prosperous."
*End of flashback*
Syaoran lied down on his bed, worry and sadness written all over his face. "I'm sorry, Sakura, but I must do this."
*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*
"So how did it go, boss?" Koi asked, "What did he say?"
"Expect another hostage soon," was all the leader said.
Everyone else grinned maliciously.
*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*
Sakura found herself chained up in a dark and dank dungeon. She was chained up in a small place without windows, hence the room being so dark. A metal door opened up as she squinted at the brightness. After her eyes adjusted, she found herself looking up at the leader, who was right outside the bars holding her captive. He gestured to a guard nearby to open the bar door so he can enter. The guard hastily pulled out a set of keys and began frantically searching for the right one, all the while the leader eyeing him. When he found the one he was looking for he unlocked the bar door and moved aside so his boss can enter. Sakura shrank back as he came closer. "What do you want? Stay away from me!" she yelled.
*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*-*~*
A young auburn-haired girl slowly opened her eyes to the gentle shaking. As her focus came into view she saw Fanren shaking her slightly.
"Huh? Wa?" Sakura asked, confused.
"You've finally awoke," Fanren smiled, "You were asleep for a long time. I guess you must have been really tired."
"Yes, I guess I was," Sakura managed a weak smile.
"But why were you crying out in your sleep? Were you having a bad dream or something?"
"Lately I keep having these nightmares about my family and that leader." She didn't dare tell Fanren about Syaoran being in those dreams for fear that she might resent that.
Fanren gave her a sympathetic look and said, "Now come on, we're about to have breakfast."
Sakura quickly got out of bed as Fanren walked out the door after leaving her some old clothes she and her sister had when they were little. After she got dressed Sakura went outside of the room and saw everyone already seated and chattering happily. Syaoran, on the other hand, had a scowl on his face. Sakura smiled as she saw the scowl, which seemed to be on him all the time. Yelan gestured to the seat next to Syaoran, which was Meiling's seat when she was there, and Sakura sat down. They ate contently, chattering as they ate, and often times remarking how their clothes seemed to fit her just perfectly, which made her blush every time. Not long after, the door swung open and a girl popped in.
Whoo hoo! Finally done! *celebrates* I no it took a LONG time 4 me 2 get that up but I have a really good reason. SCHOOL!!! Grrrr. School takes up so much time n I always hafta go sumwhere so im always busy.
