Chapter 2.

"Join?" Sakura said again as Syaoran surveyed her figure. He had never really looked at her through these eyes and found out that he liked what he saw. He didn't want to tell her, but she had THE most gorgeous emerald eyes he's ever seen. She also had moppy, brown hair that was cut just below her shoulders, giving her a feminine look. She had perfect hips, and full breasts. He smiled inwardly as she finally answered him.
"I...I'll join you. I want to avenge my mother's AND Chang's death." She declared, raising her eyes to his deep amber ones. She was slowly sucked into their depths. She loved the way his eyes were flecked with darker brown in certain areas and every once in a while, he actually smiled, giving his face a slight glow. His broad shoulders and muscled chest could be seen through his tight green shirt. She blushed and looked at him softly, seeing what he'd say.
"Good Kinomoto. Do you have small tattoos like we do?" He questioned silently. "We have gray and black wolves with silver and blue eyes tattooed on our shoulders." He said proudly, showing off HIS black wolf with silver eyes. "I'm sure girls don't have the guts to get a tattoo." He said confidently.
Sakura lifted her shirt silently, giving Syaoran a good view of her flat, and slightly muscled stomach. There, right on her hip, was a tattoo of a cherry blossom surrounded by fire. "Are you sure about that?" She giggled slightly, watching his eyes enlarge. He growled lowly, and murmured something about goody, goody girls. Sakura giggled again and asked, "Why do you ask if we have tattoos?"
Syaoran stiffened and turned slowly around. He said in a low voice, "I was wondering if we should get a tattoo to symbolize our new gang." He grinned as Sakura shuddered at the thought of getting another tattoo.
Sakura glared and said, "What kind of tattoo were you thinking about getting? Nothing too girlie." She smiled at her own joke.
"I was thinking about a wolf with a cherry blossom on it's side, surrounded by fire." He paused, thinking about what it would look like.
"That's a pretty nifty idea there Li." Syaoran winced as she said his name formally. "Oh, and by the way, you can call me Sakura." She bowed and turned up to face him.
"OK Kino....Uh..Sakura. Then you may call me Syaoran." Syaoran and Sakura shook hands firmly and quickly broke apart. "But, in my group, we have gray wolves with blue eyes to symbolize amateurs and black wolves with piercing silver eyes to symbolize authority." Syaoran confirmed.
"Oh, my group just has this same one." Sakura mused, looking up at Syaoran. "But, I guess you and me could have black wolves with silver eyes and a pink cherry blossom on it's side with red fire. Then, the others could have a gray wolf with blue eyes and a red cherry blossom surrounded by blue fire." She stated all in two breaths. Sayoran stared amused, then shook his head no.
"Our black wolves will have pink cherry blossoms and blue fire. The others have gray wolves with red cherry blossoms and red fire." Sakura thought about this and thought that black and blue and silver all go together so she nodded yes and smiled ever so lightly.
"I thank you for doing all of this for me." Sakura blushed and kept going. "I thought you still hated me for what happened back in our freshman year." Sakura's eyes started to fill with tears as she remembered exactly what happened.
*Flashback*
"HIYA Syaoran!!" Sakura said cheerfully, her hair bouncing along as she skipped in front of him. "How are you my best friend....that's a boy." She giggled as she ended.
Syaoran just kept looking straight ahead, paying no attention to her whatsoever. "Get away Kinomoto." He hissed, turning to Sakura who had a confused look on her face.
"Why? What'd I do? I don't think I did anything to make you mad did I??? Or.. uh oh." She stopped dead in her tracks, remembering what she did the other day..... She had called up Yukito and told him that Syaoran had a crush on him. "Hey Yukito! I was just callin' to tell you that...Syaoran has THE deepest crush on you." She was mad at Syaoran for embarrassing her in front of the entire school. So she took matters into her own hands and taped up on every bulletin board in school that Syaoran liked Yokito.
"I don't like that male bitch. Haven't you seen how he looks at Touya? Or are you lesbian too?" Sakura gasped and slapped Syaoran across his cheek for talking to her that way. "NO!! I am not like that you pervert!! I have a crush on E...." She stopped before revealing her crush.
Syaoran looked interested but said nothing. "I'm gonna get you back. Just wait." He had had guys asking him out all day, and the jocks labeled him as gay. All his guy friends dropped him and all the girls wouldn't even look at him. Syaoran was going to do the same thing to her.
That's how the war began.
*End Flashback*
"I am still pissed at you for doing that to me. Do you know how popular I was before you messed it all up? I was on the hit list of all the gay guys for months! You still haven't gotten through your thick head that I DO NOT LIKE THAT MALE BITCH YUKITO!!!!" Syaoran screamed the last part, feeling bad after it though because of the look on her face.
"I'm sorry Syaoran. I just wanted to get you back for making me fart in the middle of the ceremony in the gym. Ugh, how was I supposed to know that people would take it seriously?"
Suddenly, there was a tremendous blast from behind them as a local drug store burst into flames, pieces of people flying everywhere. Bystanders screamed, running around in mass hysteria. "NOOOOO!" Sakura screamed, racing towards where her brother, Touya worked second shift.
She ran into the blaze, blindly looking for her brother. A pair of strong arms pulled her back, her hair slightly flamed from pieces of falling wood. Her tears stained her pale cheeks and her body felt numb. She stared blankly at the pieces of burning building and felt weak. Her knees buckled underneath her and she hit the pavement with her knees.
Sakura cried into the persons chest, soaking it from top to bottom. The person soothingly rubbed her back and shushed her. Through blurry eyes, she looked up and saw a pair of wolf eyes looking down at her affectionately.
"Thank you Syaoran...for saving me. But...T-t-touya's g-gone." She wept into his shirt again.
"No... It's Dragon again." Syaoran growled, making Sakura hear a low rumble in his chest, sending shivers down her spine. "I'm sorry Sakura." She looked up and saw that he meant it too. She hugged him out of fear and felt shockingly safe in his arms.
"I hugged him this morning. We got along great today...now, it'll never happen again." She said in a monotone voice. Syaoran frowned, pulling her to her feet. "Sakura, you have to be strong. Don't give in to Dragon's warnings. Just be wary of where you are and what you do." He explained, pushing a strand of hair out of her face. "Be prepared for anything. Like I said before, once dragon's got a list of victims, he takes no time in killing them. He wants to scare you Sakura. Don't let him." He said the end with extra strength, passing it on to Sakura.
"Let's skip school today. It's definitely not a good day for you. Go home and tell your dad. Call all your friends after school and explain everything. We'll meet at the old tattoo store down by the lake." Sakura nodded and smiled weakly at him, skating in the opposite direction, heading home to tell her father of Touya's passing.
Sakura raced home, still having the chilling feeling of being watched. She was absolutely right. A gun was fired right at her heart. Sakura's training kicked in and she moved just in time. The bullet grazed her arm, sending a hot pain to her brain. (I made a stupid rhyme!! Go me!)
Sakura winced and skated faster, looking behind her, searching for a face. All she saw was bushes and a red light. 'RED LIGHT?' That meant only one thing........ *KABOOM!!!!!!!!!!* The truck only 200 feet behind her exploded, catching all the cars next to it on fire.
Sakura flew forward 10 yards and fell flat on her face, deep scratches etched on her cheek and nose. More pain shot to her brain and she lifted herself up. She flew home, slamming the door shut, and coming face to face with.......{ "AHHHHH!!!" (Hint hint) }
