Chapter 14: Jade Fox v.s China Wolves
Madison knocked on the door and entered Sakura's room. Sakura was packing.
" What are you doing? " Madison asked softly.
Sakura ignored her.
" Sakura? " she asked.
Sakura sighed and her shoulders sank as she stopped what she was doing.
" I'm leaving. " she stated.
" Why are you going back? " Madison asked.
" I didn't mean I was leaving to go back Madison. " Sakura replied still not looking at her.
Madison went to open her mouth but what Sakura said stopped her.
" I'm leaving . . . the Wolves. . . "
" What? Why? " Madison asked afraid. She stood in front of her best friend.
Sad emerald eyes met her violet.
" Because I have to. "
" That's not an answer and you know it! "
" Don't argue with me Madison. My mind is made up and nothing you say or anyone else says, I'm not changing it. "
Sakura shut the lid on her suitcase with a snap and walked out of the room with it. Madison watched her go and then quickly went in search of someone.
* * *
Sakura threw the suitcase in the back of a car and closed the door. She looked up and noticed that a guy was watching her keenly. She shot him one of Li's death glares and went to get into the car, when he stopped her.
" Where are you going? " he asked.
Sakura looked him up and down. He was a little shorter than Li, well built, sandy coloured hair and vivid blue eyes. He was dressed in jeans and t-shirt.
" None of your business. " Sakura replied.
The guy looked to the car.
" No bodyguards I see. So our queen is planning on going somewhere without permission and without our knowledge. "
" Who are you? " Sakura demanded coldly.
" My name's Skylar. " he said and went to bow.
" Don't you dare think of bowing to me. " Sakura said frostily. " I am not a queen. "
Skylar smirked and he reminded her strongly of Eriol.
" Oh but you are. You came back from the dead and have led us to great victory. "
" Are you making fun of me? " Sakura demanded.
Skylar laughed and smiled brightly.
" I'm just having fun Sakura. " he said still smiling.
Sakura's eyes flashed.
" Well I don't find it very amusing. "
Skylar studied her for a moment. "
" Are you ok? You know I was only joking right? " he asked smile forgotten.
The concerned look on his face reminded her so much of Li, that Sakura had to fight back tears. She lowered her head, so that her bangs covered her eyes. Skylar frowned and knew that something was up.
" Has something happened Sakura? Has someone hurt you? You can trust me you know. I'll kill anyone that has touched you. "
Sakura raised her head and smiled sadly.
" No one's hurt me Skylar. Thank you for your concern. " Sakura was surprised to her core. That had actually sounded like the old Sakura.
" Then why are you upset? "
" It's not easy being leader. Li told me that you know, I thought I could handle it, but I know now that I was wrong. I only managed to get half the job done, when I think Li could have done better. But I know that to get to the top it's not going to happen with me. " Sakura said dreamily as she was too caught up in her own thoughts to realise what she was saying.
" You're leaving? " Skylar asked shocked.
Sakura snapped out of her thoughts.
" Huh what? "
" I asked you if you're leaving? " Skylar demanded angrily.
" Can I tell you something? But I don't want you to repeat it ok? "
Skylar nodded and Sakura sat down on the front steps, he sitting beside her.
" Wolf only made me leader because I knew what it was that he wanted to be done with his gang. I understood what it was that he saw and wanted to happen.. . Li didn't. He was a sick man Skylar, sometimes he didn't even know what he was telling me. I couldn't come back like I said because of me trying to recover. Wolf taught me many things and for that it changed me into someone I didn't recognise. It's taken up till now to realise that I had turned into Li, cold and unemotional. That isn't me. I don't want to be that person anymore, I want to go home and just be plain old Sakura again, but I can't, because there is one more thing left to do. "
" Which is? " Skylar asked.
Sakura's emerald eyes met his and he shivered at the uncertainty that layed beneath their depths.
" To get the Wolves to the top. "
Skylar frowned.
" Why don't I like the sound of that? " he asked.
Sakura looked away sadly.
" Once along time ago, a millenium it would seem to me, there was a girl and she had a dream, a desire to be one with the night and to be the ruler of it, to let go and be different. She was a mystery to all those around and none could discover who she was, let alone one, who she revealed herself to. That girl died and in her place was reborn another, stronger and better than before. But now that everything is as it is, it's time for the one who died to be resurrected once more and live the night once again, that is until her purpose is complete. "
Skylar stiffened.
" You're not thinking what I think your thinking are you? "
" Yes I am. Jade Fox is going to live again and I'm going to get the Wolves to the top, even if it means eliminating me in the prosess. "
" ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FREAKIN MIND??? "
" Maybe. " Sakura stated and got up.
" Seriously though, why are you doing this? "
Sakura smiled faintly.
" Yelan Li once said to me that Wolf couldn't let go, because he was always fighting to keep what was his and trying to make it the best. I guess I know what she meant. "
Suddenly they heard a shout of anger that came from above them in Li's study. Skylar looked at Sakura.
" Did anyone else know that you were leaving? "
" Only Madison. "
" Then I suggest that you get out of here now otherwise you're going to have a very solid brick wall by the name of Li Showron standing in your way in a moment. "
" You won't tell anyone what I've said will you? "
" No I won't Sakura. I promise, reguardless I'm still loyal to the rightful queen. "
Sakura smiled sadly and lent up and kissed him briefly on the cheek.
" I don't know what this road has instore for me, but in case I don't see you again, thank you and I hope you have a long and happy life. " Sakura bolted into the car and sped off.
Skylar waved until she was out of sight.
" Same to you your majesty. " he smiled sadly and went inside.
*************************************************************************************************
Tori starred at his imouta as she got ready for school.
" Are you sure about this? I mean you can't back out once you start Sakura. And I'm worried, so is Dad. "
Sakura brushed her honey-brown hair that now had two crimson streaks mixed in with her two strands that framed her face. Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail and she had knee high black leather boots on with her summer uniform.
" Don't be. I know what I'm doing. "
Sakura put her left foot up on her table, trying to tighten her laces. On her arm was one of the fake tattoo's that Madison had made of a Jade coloured fox. Underneath her summer top that she had to wear, she had a black top on that hugged her figure perfectly and was sleeveless, and exposed her stomach. What Tori didn't know was that as soon as he was out of sight, she was going to ditch the top and wear her black one, so that everyone could see the tattoo.
The principle at the university was probably going to go head over heels with anger about her breaking the rules, but she'd work on him. She left her bag and went down stairs to eat some breakfast. Aiden looked her over as she came down stairs. When Tori wasn't looking, he pulled her aside.
" Be careful today Sakura. I don't want to lose you again. And whatever you do, don't let your brother see you in that black top I know you're wearing under there. "
Sakura starred at him shocked.
" How did you- "
" Father's intuition. "
" If we get a call from the principle Sakura, I mean it, you find some other way to go about this you hear me? " Tori demanded.
Something was annoying Sakura on her stomach and when she went to scratch it when she realised what it was. Eariler she had placed tiny little gems on her stomach in the form of a rose. ( you know those little sticker things you can buy in different shapes etc?? )
" Gotta go. See you later. " Sakura said and ignored there worried glances.
Sakura dashed upstairs and opened the chest she had stashed the money and the diamond in. She extracted some money and closed it, locked it and hid it once again. ( haha I'm not going to tell you where it is stashed!! )
* * *
Sakura pulled the bike to a stop. She dialed Skylar's number and waited for him to answer.
" Hello? "
" Skylar it's me Sakura. Can you do me a favour? "
**
Skylar shot Li a look over his shoulder and moved to a more excluded spot away from Li's gaze.
**
" Umm like what? "
" I want you to make some contacts for me. I need to get the word out that I'm the Jade Fox again. "
" I can't really say anything at the moment. " Skylar whispered.
" Is Li there is he? " she demanded.
" Yeah and he's woken up like a Wolf with a sore head today. He's not happy that you've done a runner. He wants to know what the hell is up with you. "
" Have you said anything? "
" I made a promise you know. "
" Fine. Thank you, and don't worry, fireworks are going to go off today when Li sees me. If you think he has an attitude problem now, wait till this morning. Just do me this last favour and I'll leave you alone, promise. Just spread the word secretly and don't let on you know k? Oh and make sure Li comes to the university today, along with Leiko and the rest. "
" See what I can do. Bye. "
**
Li looked up.
" Who was that and what did they want? " he demanded.
" Just Telstra trying to sell me more products. That's all. " Skylar laughed nervously.
Li's eyes narrowed and he studied him.
" Fine lets go. I want to get out of here. "
" Are you going to the university today? " Skylar asked.
Li looked at him suspiciously.
" Y-es. Why? "
Skylar shrugged.
" Just wondering. You've been in a bad mood all morning and I can't wait to get rid of you. "
* * *
~* In the principles office *~
" I have a business proposition for you sir. " Sakura said seductively.
The principle gulped and losened his tie at the look in her eyes.
" W-what's that? "
Sakura waved the money in front of his eyes and they widened.
" Anything you may hear about me today and until I say so you ignore. This money is yours if you keep your slience. " Sakura said sweetly. " Deal? "
" Deal! "
The principle grabbed the money and Sakura smirked. She walked outside the door and scowled. She wiped her hand on her skirt.
" Greedy bastard. " she spat and took off her summer uniform top.
* * *
Skylar saw Sakura walking down the corridor and didn't recognise her. He cat called and when her emerald eyes turned on him coldly, he balked.
" Holy Shit! Sakura is that you? " he asked incredulously.
She smirked and twirled for him to study her.
" What the hell I didn't recognise you! "
" God, we can't have that happen now can we? I need Li to recognise me. Do you have what I asked? "
" Come with me. There are some people here that have left their gangs, but they are more than willing to help you. They've heard of you and are more than willing to follow you to the end if that is your wish. "
" Has anyone ever told you being too noble will get you an early grave? " Sakura asked.
" It's a tough life milady. "
" Friggin smartass. " Sakura muttered.
* * *
" Sakura?!! "
" Nikki? Chelsea, Rita and Zachery?!! " Sakura exclaimed as she saw who Skylar had led her to.
" You're the Jade Fox? " they asked in shock.
" How the hell did you get into gangs? " Sakura demanded.
Chelsea sighed sadly.
" Zachery's lies got us in, but guess who got us kicked out? "
" Zachery? " asked Sakura.
" Bingo. " Rita stated hauntily.
" Wow like the new look. " Nikki said, looking her up and down.
" So you want to join me? " Sakura cut in.
" Yeah. We'd have to mad not to! " Chelsea stated.
" We'll be going up against a lot of competition are you sure you guys are trained and can handle guns etc? "
" Don't fret, we're covered. "
" How did you go about this without me knowing about you being in gangs? " Sakura asked.
" Kept a low profile. We knew all the gangs in Japan, but we had no idea about you that you were- "
" I knew. " Zachery stated. " But I know the rules, so I kept my mouth shut. "
Sakura studied him.
" Ok listen up we have a lot to get down . .. "
* * * *
" Madison do you know where Sakura is? " Li whispered. It was third period and she was no where to be found.
Madison shrugged helplessly.
" Like I said Li, she didn't tell me where she was going. I'm as lost as you are. "
They were in university's music room and the teacher was trying desperately to get a small group of them to follow the choregraphed steps for the performance. After the music finished and the dancers walked away blushing crimson, someone's sarcastic clapping interrupted them and they looked towards the door. The class froze.
Sakura was leaning against the door and was smirking coldly.
" Great performance. " she said mockingly. " What did you think of it Rita? "
The class gasped.
" Bit bland if you ask me. " replied Rita. She had 2 blue streaks in her hair, wore a short mini skirt with a split up the left side, ankle boots, and a light blue top that showed her belly and back.
" Very boring. " said Chelsea stepping out. She had blonde streaks and was dressed in a red halter top and blue jeans with boots.
" We agree as well. "
Nikki had 2 purple streaks in her hair, and wore a yellow halter top with a short denin skirt and knee high boots. Zachery had blonde tips and wore baggy jeans with a dark blue longsleeve cotton shirt with a black shirt underneath.
" Sakura? " Li asked incredulously.
Meilin, Leiko, Alex, Eriol, Madison and Jamie's mouths hit the ground.
" What the hell? " Jamie breathed as they watched as the group walked into the classroom.
" You want to dance? We can show you how to dance. " Rita stated.
**
The deep rythm started with the occasional electric guitar in the background. As the beat went on the drums and the guitar took up the beat.
Sakura started to sway and Nikki, Chelsea and Rita followed after her. Zachery stood back and watched. Li never took his eyes off Sakura as she danced.
Yeah, I feel you too
Feel those things you do
In your eyes I see a fire that burns,
defeating you
That's running through
Deep inside you know seeds are clear will grow
One day you will see
Dare to come down to me
Yeah, c'mon, c'mon now take the chance
That's right
Lets dance
The teacher stood shocked as the girls continued to dance seductively and perfectly choregraphed to the beat. Li caught sight of the tattoo on her arm, but he couldn't make it out.
Snake, I am a snake
Tempting, that bite to take
Let me fake your mind
Leave yourself behind
Be not afriad
I've got what you need
Hunger I will feed
One day you will see
Dare to come down to me
Yeah, c'mon, c'mon now take the chance
Ha ha
Come dance-ah
Yeah come dancing
One day you will see
Dare to come down to me
Yeah, c'mon, c'mon now take the chance
That's right
Lets Dance
It's nice to see you here
They all struck a finishing pose and the boys all cat called and whistled.
" That was fun. " Nikki giggled.
" If you think that was fun, ever heard of 'Tag down the uni hallways?' " Sakura asked with a wicked grin.
" Does it include bikes? " Zachery asked.
" Indeed it does. You start at the third floor and go all the way down going as fast as you can. The 'tag' part of it that you have to try not to 'tag' the students. If you get my meaning? "
" More like move it or lose it? " Chelsea asked with a evil grin.
" Miss Avalon! What is the meaning of that-that display you and your friends just put
on? " Miss Borrail stuttered angrily.
Sakura smirked coldly and made her way up the back of the classroom towards her.
" Why I believe it's called dancing Miss. " Sakura said smartly, making some of the girls giggle.
" I don't know what's gotten into your Miss Avalon, but this is not high school. This is university, and these people are here to learn. Kindly remove yourself and these friends of yours and make your way up to the principle's office at once. "
Sakura hmphed.
" Oh you'd be surprised how many of these people are not here to learn Miss Borrail, right Mr. Showron? " Sakura asked, turning her glance towards him and the others.
Li just starred at her expresionless.
" You see Miss Borrail, there are just some things that you don't know about and wouldn't understand, and yet it's happening right under your nose. I learnt a long time ago that schools, university's even, are excellent places for learning the info. that you need. But there's a double meaning hidden beneath the surface. "
Li jumped up.
" That's enough Sakura! Shut the hell up do you here me?!! " Li commanded.
Sakura turned to him and flashed him a smile.
" Oh look, it can talk after all. And here I thought he was deaf as well as dumb. "
Chelsea tried not to giggle and Li's eyes narrowed dangerously.
" Haven't I told you the death glare has no effect on me Xiao Lang? You must have forgotten that I grew up with Tori. But then again you and he are so alike. " Sakura spat.
Li went to strangle her, but Leiko and Alex held him back. Sakura stepped back and raised her eyebrow hautily.
" My, my Xiao Lang. Temper, temper. " Sakura chided.
That's when Li spotted her arm.
" What the fuck is that? " he demanded.
Sakura looked down at her arm.
" Don't you recognise it Li? Its the mark of the Jade Fox. " Sakura replied.
" The Jade Fox doesn't exist! " Li spat. " Take it off your arm! "
Sakura smirked evilly.
" You're wrong. " Chelsea sang as she came up behind Sakura.
The whole class had gone dead quiet, listening intently.
" What do you mean he's wrong? " Meilin demanded, letting go of Li, who had calmed.
" As of today, the Jade Fox is resurrected. " Sakura stated.
They all gasped.
" WHAT?!! " Li yelled.
Sakura cracked her head from side to side.
" Yeah well, you know the story. The Wolves wasn't big enough for the both of us, you were a pain in the ass and I couldn't stand you any more. Simple. I'd rather lead my own gang than take over yours now that Wolf is dead. Sorry sugar but the Wolves is nothing without Wolf. Not even the Little Wolf can compare with such a great leader. "
Li clenched his fists.
" Sakura stop it! " Madison cried. " What's gotten into you? "
Eriol came to stand beside her, placing his hand on her shoulder in comfort.
" I know what has to be done and I can't ask any of you to understand. Know this though, the days of Jade Fox are not through. She lives and is back better and more cunning than before, so watch your backs Wolves. There's a new compeditor coming after your throne.
So beware. "
Madison stood in front of her.
" There's something you're not telling us, not telling me. I thought we were stronger than that Sakura? " Madison whispered.
Pain flarred in Sakura's emerald eyes, before she covered it, but they had all seen it.
" There is only one who knows what I'm up to and has sworn secrecy to me. If what I'm hoping will happen does, than that person will tell you my story. "
" Are you out on some sort of death wish? " Li demanded coldly.
After a moments silence Sakura turned back to the teacher, ignoring his question.
" Sorry Miss Borrail, but whatever you may think, the principle will be turning a blind eye and ear to what I do from now on. I had a litle chat with him this morning. So we are free to do whatever we want, so for once shut your mouth and keep it closed. As for the rest of you, this class is dismissed. "
The class remained where it was.
" GO! " Nikki shouted, making them all jump.
" You have no authority here Miss Avalon. I suggest you leave. "
" No I suggest you leave. " Sakura spat. " Unless you want to be the one we 'tag' in our little game we are about to play. "
Zachery burst out laughing along with Nikki. With that they left, hips swaying seductively, not bothering to look at the Wolves, who couldn't believe they had just been apart of that little scene, along with the rest of the class, who looked at the Li and the others curiosly.
**
The walls vibrated and the students looked up as the ceilin shook and dust fell. The girls screamed and hid under their desks as the racket continued.
" What the hell is that? " Leiko demanded.
" It sounds like bikes. " Eriol aaid, looking up.
" COOL!! " someone shouted from the hallway. " HEY EVERYONE COME LOOK AT THIS!!
HURRY!! "
Everyone fled to the doorways and peered out.
**
Sakura's bike zoomed out of the stairwell and skidded across the slippery floor, before picking up speed and flying down the corridor. Three other bikes zoomed out of the stairwell and left black tires marks as Nikki, Chelsea and Rita flew down the corridor after Sakura. Zachery came flying down the ramp and dashed through short cuts and differnet corridors, making everyone gasp and cheer.
Li and the others stood wide eyed as they all came to a halt up the far end of the corridor. They peered out, pushing the crowd to let them see. The end doors were closed and no one was game enough to go and open them. They didn't want to be 'tagged'. Sakura revved her bike.
" Those doors are solid glass. She wouldn't. " Leiko stated.
" Oh yes she would. " Eriol stated as Sakura sped towards the door.
Just before hit the glass she swung the bike around, so the back of it clipped the doors, making them fly open and glass shattered everywhere.
" SAKURA! " Li yelled, frightened.
Four other bikes flew past and joined the first, before completly disappearing from view.
* * *
" Sakura are you alright? " Nikki asked, getting off her bike.
" Yeah fine, just a few scratches. "
" A few scratches! Hah bullshit! You look like you had a date with a butcher. " Nikki stated.
" I do not. "
" Hey look in the mirror. That ain't exactly sleepy beauty sunshine. More like nightmare on horror street. "
Sakura shrugged.
" I wasn't expecting the doors to be closed was I? "
" Now what? " Zachery asked.
" We have to come up with plan to get the Wolves in top rank. But how I dont' know. " Sakura replied thinking.
" What about if we get like a huge gang, the same as the Wolves themselves and have like a huge face off and them we admit defeat before anyone is actually hurt? "
" You might actually have something there Rita. For now, lets just stick with the huge gang thing. Who knows what may happen or what opportunity may arise. "
" So it's settled them? We start raising numbers tonight? "
" Hai. " Sakura replied.
" I'm the man for that. " stated Zachery.
" No lying! " Chelsea stated firmly. " This is Sakura. We owe it to her. "
Zachery smiled brightly.
" Whatever. "

Chapter 14: Jade Fox v.s China Wolves
Madison knocked on the door and entered Sakura's room. Sakura was packing.
" What are you doing? " Madison asked softly.
Sakura ignored her.
" Sakura? " she asked.
Sakura sighed and her shoulders sank as she stopped what she was doing.
" I'm leaving. " she stated.
" Why are you going back? " Madison asked.
" I didn't mean I was leaving to go back Madison. " Sakura replied still not looking at her.
Madison went to open her mouth but what Sakura said stopped her.
" I'm leaving . . . the Wolves. . . "
" What? Why? " Madison asked afraid. She stood in front of her best friend.
Sad emerald eyes met her violet.
" Because I have to. "
" That's not an answer and you know it! "
" Don't argue with me Madison. My mind is made up and nothing you say or anyone else says, I'm not changing it. "
Sakura shut the lid on her suitcase with a snap and walked out of the room with it. Madison watched her go and then quickly went in search of someone.
* * *
Sakura threw the suitcase in the back of a car and closed the door. She looked up and noticed that a guy was watching her keenly. She shot him one of Li's death glares and went to get into the car, when he stopped her.
" Where are you going? " he asked.
Sakura looked him up and down. He was a little shorter than Li, well built, sandy coloured hair and vivid blue eyes. He was dressed in jeans and t-shirt.
" None of your business. " Sakura replied.
The guy looked to the car.
" No bodyguards I see. So our queen is planning on going somewhere without permission and without our knowledge. "
" Who are you? " Sakura demanded coldly.
" My name's Skylar. " he said and went to bow.
" Don't you dare think of bowing to me. " Sakura said frostily. " I am not a queen. "
Skylar smirked and he reminded her strongly of Eriol.
" Oh but you are. You came back from the dead and have led us to great victory. "
" Are you making fun of me? " Sakura demanded.
Skylar laughed and smiled brightly.
" I'm just having fun Sakura. " he said still smiling.
Sakura's eyes flashed.
" Well I don't find it very amusing. "
Skylar studied her for a moment. "
" Are you ok? You know I was only joking right? " he asked smile forgotten.
The concerned look on his face reminded her so much of Li, that Sakura had to fight back tears. She lowered her head, so that her bangs covered her eyes. Skylar frowned and knew that something was up.
" Has something happened Sakura? Has someone hurt you? You can trust me you know. I'll kill anyone that has touched you. "
Sakura raised her head and smiled sadly.
" No one's hurt me Skylar. Thank you for your concern. " Sakura was surprised to her core. That had actually sounded like the old Sakura.
" Then why are you upset? "
" It's not easy being leader. Li told me that you know, I thought I could handle it, but I know now that I was wrong. I only managed to get half the job done, when I think Li could have done better. But I know that to get to the top it's not going to happen with me. " Sakura said dreamily as she was too caught up in her own thoughts to realise what she was saying.
" You're leaving? " Skylar asked shocked.
Sakura snapped out of her thoughts.
" Huh what? "
" I asked you if you're leaving? " Skylar demanded angrily.
" Can I tell you something? But I don't want you to repeat it ok? "
Skylar nodded and Sakura sat down on the front steps, he sitting beside her.
" Wolf only made me leader because I knew what it was that he wanted to be done with his gang. I understood what it was that he saw and wanted to happen.. . Li didn't. He was a sick man Skylar, sometimes he didn't even know what he was telling me. I couldn't come back like I said because of me trying to recover. Wolf taught me many things and for that it changed me into someone I didn't recognise. It's taken up till now to realise that I had turned into Li, cold and unemotional. That isn't me. I don't want to be that person anymore, I want to go home and just be plain old Sakura again, but I can't, because there is one more thing left to do. "
" Which is? " Skylar asked.
Sakura's emerald eyes met his and he shivered at the uncertainty that layed beneath their depths.
" To get the Wolves to the top. "
Skylar frowned.
" Why don't I like the sound of that? " he asked.
Sakura looked away sadly.
" Once along time ago, a millenium it would seem to me, there was a girl and she had a dream, a desire to be one with the night and to be the ruler of it, to let go and be different. She was a mystery to all those around and none could discover who she was, let alone one, who she revealed herself to. That girl died and in her place was reborn another, stronger and better than before. But now that everything is as it is, it's time for the one who died to be resurrected once more and live the night once again, that is until her purpose is complete. "
Skylar stiffened.
" You're not thinking what I think your thinking are you? "
" Yes I am. Jade Fox is going to live again and I'm going to get the Wolves to the top, even if it means eliminating me in the prosess. "
" ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FREAKIN MIND??? "
" Maybe. " Sakura stated and got up.
" Seriously though, why are you doing this? "
Sakura smiled faintly.
" Yelan Li once said to me that Wolf couldn't let go, because he was always fighting to keep what was his and trying to make it the best. I guess I know what she meant. "
Suddenly they heard a shout of anger that came from above them in Li's study. Skylar looked at Sakura.
" Did anyone else know that you were leaving? "
" Only Madison. "
" Then I suggest that you get out of here now otherwise you're going to have a very solid brick wall by the name of Li Showron standing in your way in a moment. "
" You won't tell anyone what I've said will you? "
" No I won't Sakura. I promise, reguardless I'm still loyal to the rightful queen. "
Sakura smiled sadly and lent up and kissed him briefly on the cheek.
" I don't know what this road has instore for me, but in case I don't see you again, thank you and I hope you have a long and happy life. " Sakura bolted into the car and sped off.
Skylar waved until she was out of sight.
" Same to you your majesty. " he smiled sadly and went inside.
*************************************************************************************************
Tori starred at his imouta as she got ready for school.
" Are you sure about this? I mean you can't back out once you start Sakura. And I'm worried, so is Dad. "
Sakura brushed her honey-brown hair that now had two crimson streaks mixed in with her two strands that framed her face. Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail and she had knee high black leather boots on with her summer uniform.
" Don't be. I know what I'm doing. "
Sakura put her left foot up on her table, trying to tighten her laces. On her arm was one of the fake tattoo's that Madison had made of a Jade coloured fox. Underneath her summer top that she had to wear, she had a black top on that hugged her figure perfectly and was sleeveless, and exposed her stomach. What Tori didn't know was that as soon as he was out of sight, she was going to ditch the top and wear her black one, so that everyone could see the tattoo.
The principle at the university was probably going to go head over heels with anger about her breaking the rules, but she'd work on him. She left her bag and went down stairs to eat some breakfast. Aiden looked her over as she came down stairs. When Tori wasn't looking, he pulled her aside.
" Be careful today Sakura. I don't want to lose you again. And whatever you do, don't let your brother see you in that black top I know you're wearing under there. "
Sakura starred at him shocked.
" How did you- "
" Father's intuition. "
" If we get a call from the principle Sakura, I mean it, you find some other way to go about this you hear me? " Tori demanded.
Something was annoying Sakura on her stomach and when she went to scratch it when she realised what it was. Eariler she had placed tiny little gems on her stomach in the form of a rose. ( you know those little sticker things you can buy in different shapes etc?? )
" Gotta go. See you later. " Sakura said and ignored there worried glances.
Sakura dashed upstairs and opened the chest she had stashed the money and the diamond in. She extracted some money and closed it, locked it and hid it once again. ( haha I'm not going to tell you where it is stashed!! )
* * *
Sakura pulled the bike to a stop. She dialed Skylar's number and waited for him to answer.
" Hello? "
" Skylar it's me Sakura. Can you do me a favour? "
**
Skylar shot Li a look over his shoulder and moved to a more excluded spot away from Li's gaze.
**
" Umm like what? "
" I want you to make some contacts for me. I need to get the word out that I'm the Jade Fox again. "
" I can't really say anything at the moment. " Skylar whispered.
" Is Li there is he? " she demanded.
" Yeah and he's woken up like a Wolf with a sore head today. He's not happy that you've done a runner. He wants to know what the hell is up with you. "
" Have you said anything? "
" I made a promise you know. "
" Fine. Thank you, and don't worry, fireworks are going to go off today when Li sees me. If you think he has an attitude problem now, wait till this morning. Just do me this last favour and I'll leave you alone, promise. Just spread the word secretly and don't let on you know k? Oh and make sure Li comes to the university today, along with Leiko and the rest. "
" See what I can do. Bye. "
**
Li looked up.
" Who was that and what did they want? " he demanded.
" Just Telstra trying to sell me more products. That's all. " Skylar laughed nervously.
Li's eyes narrowed and he studied him.
" Fine lets go. I want to get out of here. "
" Are you going to the university today? " Skylar asked.
Li looked at him suspiciously.
" Y-es. Why? "
Skylar shrugged.
" Just wondering. You've been in a bad mood all morning and I can't wait to get rid of you. "
* * *
~* In the principles office *~
" I have a business proposition for you sir. " Sakura said seductively.
The principle gulped and losened his tie at the look in her eyes.
" W-what's that? "
Sakura waved the money in front of his eyes and they widened.
" Anything you may hear about me today and until I say so you ignore. This money is yours if you keep your slience. " Sakura said sweetly. " Deal? "
" Deal! "
The principle grabbed the money and Sakura smirked. She walked outside the door and scowled. She wiped her hand on her skirt.
" Greedy bastard. " she spat and took off her summer uniform top.
* * *
Skylar saw Sakura walking down the corridor and didn't recognise her. He cat called and when her emerald eyes turned on him coldly, he balked.
" Holy Shit! Sakura is that you? " he asked incredulously.
She smirked and twirled for him to study her.
" What the hell I didn't recognise you! "
" God, we can't have that happen now can we? I need Li to recognise me. Do you have what I asked? "
" Come with me. There are some people here that have left their gangs, but they are more than willing to help you. They've heard of you and are more than willing to follow you to the end if that is your wish. "
" Has anyone ever told you being too noble will get you an early grave? " Sakura asked.
" It's a tough life milady. "
" Friggin smartass. " Sakura muttered.
* * *
" Sakura?!! "
" Nikki? Chelsea, Rita and Zachery?!! " Sakura exclaimed as she saw who Skylar had led her to.
" You're the Jade Fox? " they asked in shock.
" How the hell did you get into gangs? " Sakura demanded.
Chelsea sighed sadly.
" Zachery's lies got us in, but guess who got us kicked out? "
" Zachery? " asked Sakura.
" Bingo. " Rita stated hauntily.
" Wow like the new look. " Nikki said, looking her up and down.
" So you want to join me? " Sakura cut in.
" Yeah. We'd have to mad not to! " Chelsea stated.
" We'll be going up against a lot of competition are you sure you guys are trained and can handle guns etc? "
" Don't fret, we're covered. "
" How did you go about this without me knowing about you being in gangs? " Sakura asked.
" Kept a low profile. We knew all the gangs in Japan, but we had no idea about you that you were- "
" I knew. " Zachery stated. " But I know the rules, so I kept my mouth shut. "
Sakura studied him.
" Ok listen up we have a lot to get down . .. "
* * * *
" Madison do you know where Sakura is? " Li whispered. It was third period and she was no where to be found.
Madison shrugged helplessly.
" Like I said Li, she didn't tell me where she was going. I'm as lost as you are. "
They were in university's music room and the teacher was trying desperately to get a small group of them to follow the choregraphed steps for the performance. After the music finished and the dancers walked away blushing crimson, someone's sarcastic clapping interrupted them and they looked towards the door. The class froze.
Sakura was leaning against the door and was smirking coldly.
" Great performance. " she said mockingly. " What did you think of it Rita? "
The class gasped.
" Bit bland if you ask me. " replied Rita. She had 2 blue streaks in her hair, wore a short mini skirt with a split up the left side, ankle boots, and a light blue top that showed her belly and back.
" Very boring. " said Chelsea stepping out. She had blonde streaks and was dressed in a red halter top and blue jeans with boots.
" We agree as well. "
Nikki had 2 purple streaks in her hair, and wore a yellow halter top with a short denin skirt and knee high boots. Zachery had blonde tips and wore baggy jeans with a dark blue longsleeve cotton shirt with a black shirt underneath.
" Sakura? " Li asked incredulously.
Meilin, Leiko, Alex, Eriol, Madison and Jamie's mouths hit the ground.
" What the hell? " Jamie breathed as they watched as the group walked into the classroom.
" You want to dance? We can show you how to dance. " Rita stated.
**
The deep rythm started with the occasional electric guitar in the background. As the beat went on the drums and the guitar took up the beat.
Sakura started to sway and Nikki, Chelsea and Rita followed after her. Zachery stood back and watched. Li never took his eyes off Sakura as she danced.
Yeah, I feel you too
Feel those things you do
In your eyes I see a fire that burns,
defeating you
That's running through
Deep inside you know seeds are clear will grow
One day you will see
Dare to come down to me
Yeah, c'mon, c'mon now take the chance
That's right
Lets dance
The teacher stood shocked as the girls continued to dance seductively and perfectly choregraphed to the beat. Li caught sight of the tattoo on her arm, but he couldn't make it out.
Snake, I am a snake
Tempting, that bite to take
Let me fake your mind
Leave yourself behind
Be not afriad
I've got what you need
Hunger I will feed
One day you will see
Dare to come down to me
Yeah, c'mon, c'mon now take the chance
Ha ha
Come dance-ah
Yeah come dancing
One day you will see
Dare to come down to me
Yeah, c'mon, c'mon now take the chance
That's right
Lets Dance
It's nice to see you here
They all struck a finishing pose and the boys all cat called and whistled.
" That was fun. " Nikki giggled.
" If you think that was fun, ever heard of 'Tag down the uni hallways?' " Sakura asked with a wicked grin.
" Does it include bikes? " Zachery asked.
" Indeed it does. You start at the third floor and go all the way down going as fast as you can. The 'tag' part of it that you have to try not to 'tag' the students. If you get my meaning? "
" More like move it or lose it? " Chelsea asked with a evil grin.
" Miss Avalon! What is the meaning of that-that display you and your friends just put
on? " Miss Borrail stuttered angrily.
Sakura smirked coldly and made her way up the back of the classroom towards her.
" Why I believe it's called dancing Miss. " Sakura said smartly, making some of the girls giggle.
" I don't know what's gotten into your Miss Avalon, but this is not high school. This is university, and these people are here to learn. Kindly remove yourself and these friends of yours and make your way up to the principle's office at once. "
Sakura hmphed.
" Oh you'd be surprised how many of these people are not here to learn Miss Borrail, right Mr. Showron? " Sakura asked, turning her glance towards him and the others.
Li just starred at her expresionless.
" You see Miss Borrail, there are just some things that you don't know about and wouldn't understand, and yet it's happening right under your nose. I learnt a long time ago that schools, university's even, are excellent places for learning the info. that you need. But there's a double meaning hidden beneath the surface. "
Li jumped up.
" That's enough Sakura! Shut the hell up do you here me?!! " Li commanded.
Sakura turned to him and flashed him a smile.
" Oh look, it can talk after all. And here I thought he was deaf as well as dumb. "
Chelsea tried not to giggle and Li's eyes narrowed dangerously.
" Haven't I told you the death glare has no effect on me Xiao Lang? You must have forgotten that I grew up with Tori. But then again you and he are so alike. " Sakura spat.
Li went to strangle her, but Leiko and Alex held him back. Sakura stepped back and raised her eyebrow hautily.
" My, my Xiao Lang. Temper, temper. " Sakura chided.
That's when Li spotted her arm.
" What the fuck is that? " he demanded.
Sakura looked down at her arm.
" Don't you recognise it Li? Its the mark of the Jade Fox. " Sakura replied.
" The Jade Fox doesn't exist! " Li spat. " Take it off your arm! "
Sakura smirked evilly.
" You're wrong. " Chelsea sang as she came up behind Sakura.
The whole class had gone dead quiet, listening intently.
" What do you mean he's wrong? " Meilin demanded, letting go of Li, who had calmed.
" As of today, the Jade Fox is resurrected. " Sakura stated.
They all gasped.
" WHAT?!! " Li yelled.
Sakura cracked her head from side to side.
" Yeah well, you know the story. The Wolves wasn't big enough for the both of us, you were a pain in the ass and I couldn't stand you any more. Simple. I'd rather lead my own gang than take over yours now that Wolf is dead. Sorry sugar but the Wolves is nothing without Wolf. Not even the Little Wolf can compare with such a great leader. "
Li clenched his fists.
" Sakura stop it! " Madison cried. " What's gotten into you? "
Eriol came to stand beside her, placing his hand on her shoulder in comfort.
" I know what has to be done and I can't ask any of you to understand. Know this though, the days of Jade Fox are not through. She lives and is back better and more cunning than before, so watch your backs Wolves. There's a new compeditor coming after your throne.
So beware. "
Madison stood in front of her.
" There's something you're not telling us, not telling me. I thought we were stronger than that Sakura? " Madison whispered.
Pain flarred in Sakura's emerald eyes, before she covered it, but they had all seen it.
" There is only one who knows what I'm up to and has sworn secrecy to me. If what I'm hoping will happen does, than that person will tell you my story. "
" Are you out on some sort of death wish? " Li demanded coldly.
After a moments silence Sakura turned back to the teacher, ignoring his question.
" Sorry Miss Borrail, but whatever you may think, the principle will be turning a blind eye and ear to what I do from now on. I had a litle chat with him this morning. So we are free to do whatever we want, so for once shut your mouth and keep it closed. As for the rest of you, this class is dismissed. "
The class remained where it was.
" GO! " Nikki shouted, making them all jump.
" You have no authority here Miss Avalon. I suggest you leave. "
" No I suggest you leave. " Sakura spat. " Unless you want to be the one we 'tag' in our little game we are about to play. "
Zachery burst out laughing along with Nikki. With that they left, hips swaying seductively, not bothering to look at the Wolves, who couldn't believe they had just been apart of that little scene, along with the rest of the class, who looked at the Li and the others curiosly.
**
The walls vibrated and the students looked up as the ceilin shook and dust fell. The girls screamed and hid under their desks as the racket continued.
" What the hell is that? " Leiko demanded.
" It sounds like bikes. " Eriol aaid, looking up.
" COOL!! " someone shouted from the hallway. " HEY EVERYONE COME LOOK AT THIS!!
HURRY!! "
Everyone fled to the doorways and peered out.
**
Sakura's bike zoomed out of the stairwell and skidded across the slippery floor, before picking up speed and flying down the corridor. Three other bikes zoomed out of the stairwell and left black tires marks as Nikki, Chelsea and Rita flew down the corridor after Sakura. Zachery came flying down the ramp and dashed through short cuts and differnet corridors, making everyone gasp and cheer.
Li and the others stood wide eyed as they all came to a halt up the far end of the corridor. They peered out, pushing the crowd to let them see. The end doors were closed and no one was game enough to go and open them. They didn't want to be 'tagged'. Sakura revved her bike.
" Those doors are solid glass. She wouldn't. " Leiko stated.
" Oh yes she would. " Eriol stated as Sakura sped towards the door.
Just before hit the glass she swung the bike around, so the back of it clipped the doors, making them fly open and glass shattered everywhere.
" SAKURA! " Li yelled, frightened.
Four other bikes flew past and joined the first, before completly disappearing from view.
* * *
" Sakura are you alright? " Nikki asked, getting off her bike.
" Yeah fine, just a few scratches. "
" A few scratches! Hah bullshit! You look like you had a date with a butcher. " Nikki stated.
" I do not. "
" Hey look in the mirror. That ain't exactly sleepy beauty sunshine. More like nightmare on horror street. "
Sakura shrugged.
" I wasn't expecting the doors to be closed was I? "
" Now what? " Zachery asked.
" We have to come up with plan to get the Wolves in top rank. But how I dont' know. " Sakura replied thinking.
" What about if we get like a huge gang, the same as the Wolves themselves and have like a huge face off and them we admit defeat before anyone is actually hurt? "
" You might actually have something there Rita. For now, lets just stick with the huge gang thing. Who knows what may happen or what opportunity may arise. "
" So it's settled them? We start raising numbers tonight? "
" Hai. " Sakura replied.
" I'm the man for that. " stated Zachery.
" No lying! " Chelsea stated firmly. " This is Sakura. We owe it to her. "
Zachery smiled brightly.
" Whatever. "
