Quick note to Emerald Wolf: Hey! Erm...Xiaolong is only about 4 years older than Umi @..o not 9 lol! Besides, relationships where the couple are about the same age never really work out. Girls need older, wiser men...Not some horny teenagers ^^;; Thanks for the review! Hopefully the age gap doesn't bother you anymore, much less anyone else.
Note to Kendra: About the "shower part" in the last chapter. Erm...The whole "did they do it in there" is up to you. They could have done that or they could have just been fooling around (i.e. tickling, splashing eachother, fun-kid-stuff). Anywho that's up to you. And no they weren't completely naked when they were standing there. He was (half) dressed and she only had her shirt left to put on...There was no...err...touching with things ^^; haha. Yeah I just said "imagine what's meant to be imagined" because in my mind he was standing behind her wrapping his arms around her. For all I know, some reader out there imagined him infront of her and so on. Oh and about Xiaolong and Umi...Their relationship was a playful brother-sister thing but unconcsiously turning into something more. Hope that helped...

Chapter 16 - You WHAT?!?!
==========================
Syaoran narrowed his eyes.
"Who are you?" He sneered into the phone, clutching it so tightly his knuckles had gone white. At that moment his bedroom door swung open, his twin brother striding in with an air of annoyance about him.
"What is it?" Asked Xiaolong with as much patience as he could. He was frustrated at the fact that his older brother just kept on ruining his fluff moments with Umi.
'Keep Quiet,' Syaoran mouthed, slowly moving over to the base of the phone and hitting the speaker button, coughing at the same time to cover up the little 'beeeep' that would have otherwise been heard.
"...who we are," came a mellowed out voice, yet with a hint of malice behind it all.
"So there are more that just one of you," said Syaoran, motioning his brother to come stand beside him.
"Of course there are more than just one you stupid boy. If it hadn't been for-"
"Get to the point," spat the older amber-eyed boy, running a hand through his hair in frustration. "What do you want?"
"We want you to come down to the alley way behind the Xiao Ying restaurant. Maybe we'll able to negotiate something or another."
"Define 'negotiate'."
"Oh you know. Bribe you, blackmail you...The usual."
"Who are you?"
"Oh you'll find out soon enough," the voice chuckled. "Meet us there at half past midnight. Don't bring anyone along."
"And if I refuse?" Mused Syaoran, an eyebrow shooting up.
"Then you leave us no choice but to raid your house and kill everyone and everything you hold dear, along with yourself. Can we count on meeting you there?"
"Yes," growled Syaraon through clenched teeth, before quickly hanging up.
"What do you think you're doing?!?!" Exclaimed Xiaolong.
"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm standing here doing nothing."
"You know what I mean. You can't go! They'll kill you. Remember what that one guy told you!? He said they figured out you knew something that would ruin them forever, and to keep it from ever being revealed to the public, they were going to murder you and god-knows what else!"
"Don't you see?" Whispered Syaoran, grabbing a hold of the others shoulders and lightly shaking him up. "They're totally screwed up. All I have to do is call the cops before I go down the alleyway, and then play it all smooth with these jackasses till my backup arrives. It's as simple as that!"
"No it isn't! They could kill you before your damn cops arrive and then make a run for it. But let's just say the cops get there on time. What're you going to tell them?! 'Officer arrest these men cause they brought me here to kill me and have threatened me twice before!' They aren't going to give a flying fuck. Plus you'd need evidence. EVIDENCE!"
Syaoran chuckled.
"What the fuck is so damn funny? You just got a fucking phone call from some crazy ass mother fucker who all but came right out and said he fucking plans on killing your fucked up self! What's fucking amusing about that?!?!?!"
"I do belive you're forgetting something dear brother," grinned the would-be-clow-descendant. "Remember my dear old friend Keichi?"
A knowing smirk began to spread across Xiaolong's face as he slowly nodded.

"Eriol! Honey, where are you?" Came Tomoyo's voice as she wandered into the guest bedroom she was staying in. She heard the door slam shut behind her, but before she could turn around, a strong pair of arms wrapped themselves around her waist from behind.
"Hello sweetheart," came Eriol's thick, sweet voice, his breath warm against her neck.
(A/N: There you go LiL oBs3ss3r. They're...erm...occupied. Thoughts are on anything but Umi ohohoho^o^hohohoho)
=
"YOU'RE GOING TO WHAT?!?!?!" Screeched Sakura, standing there, rooted to the ground, a horrified expression on her face.
"Don't worry honey. We've got it all planned out and nothing bad is going to happen. Especially with Keichi and his crew on our side," smiled Syaoran, pulling his cherry blossom into a warm hug.
Sakura pulled away forcefully.
"HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM ABOUT ALL THIS?!?! YOU COULD DDDDIIIIIIIIIEEEE!!!!!!!!" She bellowed, throwing her arms this way and that way. At that moment Xiaolong had walked into the room.
"What's she bitching about?" He asked Syaoran casually, taking a bite of his apple.
"The whole Keichi plan," the older man replied in the same casual tone while his fiancee just stood there, jaw dropped in disbelief.
"You can't go," she finally let out. "I won't let you go."
"This isn't a matter of letting, Sakura," sighed the would-be-clow-descendant.
"Syaoran," Sakura whispered, her eyes starting to fill with tears. "You can't go. You can't leave me."
Xiaolong rolled his eyes and left the room, shutting the door behind him.
"Friggin drama queen," he mumbled.
"Yeah she is isn't she," came a cheery voice.
The brown-haired boy's head snapped up, his chocolate eyes coming in contact with dark blue ones.
"Though I don't blame her," Umi went on, seemingly deep in thought. "You can't let him go through with this," she said matter-of-factly.
"WHAT?! That's stupid! Why not? We have a flawless plan!!!"
"So do they."
"What do you mean?" Asked Xiaolong, eyebrow shooting up. Before she could respond, he dragged her off to his room and shut the door. "Now...What did you mean?"
"Oh nothing. Just that while the group of guys are down on the ground meeting up with Syaoran, their rifleman will be on the roof," she explained in a tone that made it seem like this was a very normal occurance. "But I'm veeeery sure you guys worked that into your plan too," she said, smiling an exaggerated smile.
"No we fucking did not! How the hell do you know this shit!??!"
The teenage girl shrugged.
"You're fucking impossible!" He exclaimed, running a hand through his hair.
"But you love the impossible," she mumbled, twiddling her thumbs.
"What did you say?"
"Huh? Nothing, nothing. So about the plan."
"Right. Well we called up a friend of his---" Umi cut him off.
"I know THAT plan. I meant ours. Mine and yours."
"What are you talking about? There is no 'mine and yours'."
"Yes there is! I already but Stage 1 into action."
"WHAT?!?!?! What the hell is stage 1?" Xiaolong asked, anxious to know the answer yet afraid of what it might be.
"I locked Syaoran up. Now all you have to do is put these on," she shoved some of Syaoran's clothes towards him before going on. "And then we can head out."
"Mind explaining what the hell we're going to do?" He growled, snatching the clothes from her.
"Well. I've already got him locked up so we don't need to worry about him or Sakura getting hurt. All you have to do is put those clothes on to impersonate him. Then we're going to head out and meet them bad-guys. Meanwhile, the police force would be right around the corner, LITERALLY. You get the dude to confess that he's selling cocaine stuffed in teddy bears, and that he knows you know it, and that he plans to kill you. Meanwhile my boys will hear every single thing, and then barge in and arrest them all. As for the sniper on the rooftop," the almost-16-yr-old smirked, rubbing her palms together. "Leave him to me."

Yue Moon: I rushed it...I know I shouldn't have but I did. I got bored with this story looooooooooooong ago. And now I won't even include the little part about the whole police crap or whatever. The spark just isn't there anymore! But don't worry @_@ I'm starting a new fic after posting up the prologue (which will be next). It'll contain fluff and the happy ending everyone's been waiting for. Geez I ruin my own story for the readers =P I want to thank you ALL for your reviews! They're what fueled me to keep on writing. If you have any suggestions for a fic you'd like written, but are too lazy to write it yourself, run the plot past me and I'll consider it. Till next time! Ja ^.~ ne
