Flame: Ohayo Mina-san! Let's get on with the story. And please, please, please review!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~At School~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'Oh, shit! I am so late!' Sakura thought as she rushed up the stairs up to her home class. As she opened the door, the class quietened, "Look who finally decided to join us," a girl muttered in the back as everyone glared at her.

"Gomen nasai. There was a little trouble down around C.B Park and I was delayed." Sakura said, trying to explain her lateness.

"Mr. Ted, Sakura isn't lying, I ran into those people too," said a frightened girl.

"Very well, Ms. Avalon you're excused. But please make that there will not be a next time." The teacher said sternly. Sakura nodded and took her usual seat. Looking out the window, she sighed. 'I wonder what those gangs where doing here' the Wolves seemed like nice people.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~After School~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Hey Sakura, wait up!" turning around, Sakura saw her best friends, Rika, Naoko and Chiharu.

"Where were you this morning?" Naoko asked when they finally caught up with her.

"Ummmm.I ran into a gang fight.and kindda decided to help out." Rika looked horrified. "Which gangs were they from?" she asked.

"The Wolves and the Bears I think." Sakura said. Everyone looked at Chiharu as she paled and gasped. Looking from Sakura to Naoko to Rika and then back to Sakura again, Chiharu took a deep breath.

"Guys, I have some thing to tell you." Chiharu began guiltily, "You know how I took that trip to Hong Kong at the beginning of the year." Everyone nodded as Chiharu continued, "Well, I wasn't exactly telling the truth when I said it was a vacation. I actually went to see my childhood boyfriend which I'm engaged to."

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise. "You .are. engaged?" Naoko finally croaked out. Chiharu slowly nodded. "And you DIDN'T tell US?" Rika asked. Again Chiharu nodded. Everyone looked at Sakura expectantly waiting for her to say something. "Um.Do we get to be your bridesmaids?" Sakura asked uncertainly making everybody fall anime style. "Of course you do!" Chiharu exclaimed.

As they turned towards the school gates Sakura remembered one more thing. "Hey Chiharu, why did you look so worried when I mentioned the Wolves?" Chiharu visibly paled and gulped. "Well, Takashi is a member of the Wolves and I can't believe he'd let them attack you after I told him that you took defence classes." "So your fiancé's name is Takashi and he's here in Japan!" Rika said. Chiharu nodded as a dreamy smile appeared on her face.

"Guys I think we've lost Chiharu!" Naoko said making them laugh.

Outside the school gate, Sakura spotted a blue convertible, inside sat the violet haired girl she saw this morning along with 2 other girls. One of them had ruby like crimson eyes with long black hair she wore a denim outfit. The other looked cute and fragile at first glance, but coming closer a stern and serious glint could be seen in her hazel eyes, she had black hair at shoulder length with grey streaks and wore a tight green singlet, mini skirt and black boots. Sakura thought they looked vaguely familiar. Saying good-bye to her friends, she walked towards the convertible. Their eyes lit up as they saw Sakura walk towards them. "Hey guys, that's her." Melin whispered.

Curious, Sakura walked up to them. "Hey weren't you the girls from this morning?" She asked as she reached them. "Yep," "Let us introduce ourselves, I'm Melin, the purple haired, taping freak is Tomoyo and the fragile looking one is Daisie." Melin said getting a death glare from Das.

Das turned to Sakura, "Hey girl, my parents thought it'd be nice if I had a soft name so they named me Daisie, but everyone calls me Das, ok?" Sakura nodded then said, "Look we have something in common, we're both named after flowers! So why are you guys here?" The girls looked at each other, "Well, we saw you fight this morning and thought you might wanna hang around with us an if you like, join our gang." Tomoyo said. Sakura shrugged, "Sure, I wouldn't mind. Besides it's nice to get away from a dull life once in a while." "Great!" Said Das, Melin and Tomoyo in unison as they high-fived each other.

"Ok, now we'll drop you off at your house, you can get changed and we'll take you to Uncle and then we can go clubbing!" Das exclaimed with enthusiasm. As Tomoyo video taped the whole event. "I think I'll name this 'Sakura joins the gang,'" she said happily, making everyone's sweat drop.

"Um.what do I have to do to get in?" Sakura asked suddenly uncertain. "You have to fight the toughest Black Wolf and if you beat them or even come close then you become a Black Wolf, too. But trust me, even though I like you a lot, I ain't gonna go easy on you!" Das said. Sakura looked at the girl in front of her in awe, "You're a Black Wolf? I heard there were only 2 in the whole gang!" "Yep our Das and our cousin Syaoran!" said Melin. "Me, Tomoyo, Eriol and James are the Silver Wolves, and by the way you fought this morning, I'd say you're at least a Silver Wolf if not a Black one." "Really? Awesome!"

"Now enough chit-chat," Tomoyo said, "Sakura, you might be staying at our place for a while, do you need to get some clothes and ask your parents?"

"My parents are dead." Sakura said, her cheerful smile vanishing as the girls gasped in sympathy. "Oh, I'm so sorry, Sakura. I didn't know." Apologised Tomoyo. "It's ok, I understand, and do you think we can stop at the mall? I think I'll just buy some clothing. Besides I need to restore my wardrobe anyway." "Sure! And I'll get some fabric. You know Sakura, you have a great body, and I think I can make you some party outfits. You'll look great in them" Tomoyo said starry eyed.

Sakura gave Melin and Das a confused look as they rolled their eyes. "Apart from video taping, our Tomoyo is also a fashion freak." Explained Melin.

" So guys, what are we waiting for? Lets go already!" Das said.
