**********

Sakura wiped away a stray tear away and headed up to her room. She stared at a picture on the wall for about ten minutes. It was a picture of Syaoran when he was younger, and happier. The younger Syaoran would have never thought that his life would be changed so drastically.

'He was so innocent back then. What happened? Was it....me?' Sakura thought, and snapped out of her dream world to change clothes. She looked in her full-length mirror and smiled to herself. She was sweaty and barely covered.

She put on a pair of Jean shorts (once again, they are VERY short) and a white, button-up tank top. She brushed her hair so that it would be thicker. She took a small comb and brushed her hair so it would curl outwards and upwards. (You know, the way CCS Sakura would have hair) Then she put on only a little bit of eyeliner and lip gloss. She put on a pair of sandals and walked to Rika's room.

She heard a soft moan emit from the room and Sakura backed away quickly, making sure not to interrupt anything *important* to Rika like Tomoyo did to her. 'Grrr Tomoyo. You messed up something I had been dreaming about for years.' She thought ruefully and heard Eriol talking with Syaoran downstairs.

She decided to eavesdrop..... *Eriol: "Gees, sorry. How was I supposed to know that you had a thing for Kinomoto-san?" He said it with a grouchy look on his face. But if was nothing compared to the look-to-kill stare Syaoran was giving Eriol. *Syaoran: "Is it not more than obvious that I have a thing? You are very slow you jack-off." Syaoran cursed, but sensed that some one was listening and turned around and saw Sakura's head peeping through the bannister. Her eyes were filled with confusion, and Syaoran yelled at himself mentally for even having a talk with Eriol.

Eriol, who was oblivious to Sakura's presence said quite loudly, "Do you want to go to the club tonight? I heard there's a great group there tonight. Aerosmith, Red Hot Chili Peppers, AND Barenaked Ladies." (When are you going to get such a mix? NEVER!!! That's why this is a fairy tale. J/k. These are some of my favorite singers/groups.)

Sakura immediately forgot what she heard and ran down the stairs, gracefully tripping on the last step and fell on her arm. Syaoran made no move to help her, and Sakura's heart flopped down to her stomach again. She smiled numbly, and stumbled back to her feet. She walked to the couch and sat down next to Eriol. "So Eriol, are we really going to a club? I absolutely love Aerosmith, and I've never been to a club before. Are they fun? Do you have to dress up?...." Sakura rambled on with her questions, amusing Eriol immensely.

"Yes, we are going to a club tonight, and yes they are fun. You don't have to dress up, but you do need to wear clothes. No making out with Syaoran either." Eriol said slyly, making Sakura blush from the base of her neck up.
Syaoran growled in an annoyed tone. "After the club, we have to visit a friend's house. So Sakura, bring a change of appropriate clothes OK?" Sakura nodded and ran back upstairs, letting everyone know that they were heading to a club that night.

Sakura ecstatically knocked on every door and told them everyone where they were going. She found that Rika was now alone in her room and was acting normal. 'Weird.'

Sakura changed from her outfit into a 'sexier' one. She was now wearing a tight, black leather pair of pants. A pink halter top and sleek, black, silk shoes with no heels. Tomoyo also wearing leather pants that tied up the side and a blue halter top. Rika wore brown leather pants that tied in the front and a green tube top. Noako was wearing a black leather skirt and an orange tube top. Hana was wearing a blue leather skirt and a silver tube top. Shika was wearing a pair of blue leather pants and long-sleeved white shirt. Meiling had on a black mini skirt and a blood red tube top. Finally, Chiharu was wearing a brown leather skirt and a green halter top. They all had their hair up in braids or buns. Except for Sakura, she had her hair in a high ponytail of frizzy curls. Everyone had on the same type of sandals Sakura was wearing.

Syaoran was wearing a pair of khaki pants and a green wolf shirt. Eriol was wearing a pair of khaki pants and a blue eagle shirt. Kazuo was wearing a pair of Jean pants and a blue wolf shirt. Yamazaki was wearing a pair of khaki shorts and a long-sleeved, black wolf shirt. Chow was wearing a pair of Jean shorts and a button-up blue shirt. Shiro was wearing a pair of tan shorts and a plain green shirt. Aiko was wearing a pair of khaki pants and a tight, black muscle shirt. Finally, Hiroshi was wearing a pair of denim jeans and a white shirt.

Meiling and Aiko took their bike first. "See you guys later!" Was all they said and took off down the street. They were followed by Eriol & Tomoyo and Shika & Kazuo on their bikes. Syaoran and Sakura took the two door, black Corvette. Shiro, Naoko, Yamazaki, and Chiharu took their red Mercedes Benz. Then Hiroshi, Rika, Chow and Hana took the black Mercedes Benz.

It was a sight to be seen. A line of three bikes, a black Corvette, a red Mercedes Benz, and a black Mercedes Benz. Sakura turned on the radio to FM and heard Sheryl Crow's new song. "Oh! I absolutely love this song!" She squealed, turning it up three-fourhs the way to max blast.

~Well I went to bed in Memphis
And I woke up in Hollywood
I got a quarter
in my pocket
And I'd call you if I could
But I don't know why
I gotta fly~

A band of fire red motorcycles pulled behind their parade of bikes and cars. "Uh-oh. We've got company again. How'd they find us!" Syaoran yelled, cursing and speeding up, signaling the others to follow his lead.

~I wanna rock and roll this party
I still wanna have some fun
Iwanna leave you feeling breathless
Show you how the west was won
But I gotta fly
I gotta fly o~

Sakura started to shake and cry. "Why? How did they know I was staying with you! This isn't fair!" She hid her face in her hands and heard a shot go off behind them. "Ahh! They're shooting at us! Go faster please!" She flattened her body to the seat as a red bike pulled up next to theirs.

~*Like Steve McQueen
All I need's a fast machine
I'm gonna make it all right
Like Steve McQueen
Underneath your radar screen
You'll never catch me tonite *~

"Hold on Sakura." Syaoran breathed, putting the gear into reverse. He backed up into a side ally and waited until the band passed them. He pulled back out of the ally and went the opposite direction. "What about the others?" Sakura questioned him worriedly. "Will they be OK?"

"They're fine. This has happened before with the Sparks. The others split up so that the pursuers don't know where everyone is all at once." Syaoran explained, looking into his side mirror. Two bikes were following close behind. "Stay low Sakura." He warned, flooring the pedal. He merged onto the highway, and quickly got off it to a deserted street.

He slammed on the brakes as the bikes quickly passed him and swung back around. "We're going to play a little game Sakura. It's called Chicken. They're going to go down first." Syaoran smiled wolfishly to himself and pressed the gas pedal to the floor and the car lurched forward.

~I ain't takin' shit off no one
Baby that was yesterday
I'm an all American rebel
Making my big getaway
Yeah you know it's time
I gotta fly~

~*Like Steve McQueen
All I need's a fast machine
I'm gonna make it all right
Like Steve McQueen
Underneath your radar screen
You'll never catch me tonite *~ Gotta Flyyyyyy!!!

Syaoran swerved off course instantly and drove up on a ramp. His car flew over the two bikes and landed behind them. He took out his gun and shot both of the bike's tires. The bikes were going so fast that when the tires were blown, the bikes skidded into a gas truck. (Oh my. How did that get there? *Smiles innocently* oops. Hehehe.)

~We got rockstars in the Whitehouse
All our popstars look like porn
All my heroes hit the highway
They don't hang out here no more
You can call me on my cell phone
You can page me all night long
But you won't catch this freebird
I'll already be long gone
Like Steve McQueen
All we need's a fast machine
And we're gonna make it all right~

~*Like Steve McQueen
All I need's a fast machine
I'm gonna make it all right
Like Steve McQueen
Underneath your radar screen
You'll never catch me tonite *~

Syaoran drove his car another hundred meters when they heard an explosion behind them. "Whew. That's the end of that." Syaoran breathed a sigh of relief, and saw the fear-stricken look embroidered on her face. "Sakura, are you OK?" He asked, worry evident in his voice. "Sakura? Please look at me. Sakura?"

~*Like Steve McQueen
All we need's a fast machine
We're gonna make it all right
Like Steve McQueen
Underneath your radar screen
You'll never catch me tonite *~

Sakura breathed slightly and looked at Syaoran with softer eyes. "You're a good driver. But, how did they know I was here? I sure didn't call anyone." She had shed silent tears, and didn't even notice the sorrowful look Syaoran was giving her.

"Ahhh! Kazuo! What's going on?" Shika cried, holding onto his waist, much to her better judgment. "The Dragons. They found us!" He said, paying no attention to Shika who had a death grip around his middle. He made a sharp turn, scratching the side of his car on a brick wall. He saw a tractor trailer about 50 meters in front of him. He looked to Meiling and Aiko who were next to them. He yelled, "Turn off quickly over there, watch Shika!" They nodded, and prepared to do as they were told.

"Shika, when I say so, jump onto that patch of grass right there. I'll be fine." He said in an unsure tone. "OK, ready, set, JUMP!" Shika, with worried tears on her face, jumped onto the grass as she watched his motorcycle crash into the tractor trailer and go up in flames, followed by the unsuspecting dragons. "NOOOOOOO!" She screamed, running towards the flames.
*******
"Hold on everyone!" Eriol said to Tomoyo who was crying on his back. Hana's car and Yamazaki's car were speeding up behind them. Three dragon bikes were pursuing them. A plan formed in his head and he said to Tomoyo, "Jump into Yamazaki's car and I'll take car of them." He said confidently.

"O..OK." Was the only response he got from her. He slowed down and signaled her to jump. She did so and Eriol fired a shot at one of the bikes. The wheel popped and the guy fell off, then accidentally run over by one of his own men. The two bikers didn't even stop to check, they drew out their own guns and fired at Eriol. They didn't even notice that the two cars were now gone. (behind them.)

One of the dragons shot Eriol in his leg. Eriol winced at the pain but kept going. Chiharu took out a gun from inside the car and shot at one of the guys. Even without an practice, she hit the guy in the back. He fell off his bike and was run over by Yamazaki with a sickening crunch. "Eww! That's disgusting!" Chiharu whimpered, holding her throat to keep her food down.

Eriol shot blindly behind him and heard a scream of pain from some one which he hoped was from the dragon. He looked behind him and saw that he had hit the guy straight in the head. 'Ugh. That's disgusting, but at least everyone's safe now.

He stopped his bike and limped over to the car a worried Tomoyo was squished in. She ran out and hugged him tightly saying, "Don't ever do that again! You had me worried!" She cried out of relief that he was OK. She bandaged his leg and helped him back on the bike.

"Let's go find the others." Eriol suggested, leading the way to the club, but stopping and cleaning the bodies from the street. They stuffed the bodies in a nearby dumpster and drove to the club.
*******
Shika ran to the wreckage, and started to cry endlessly. "He..he really was a friend of mine. We just got on each others nerves. I never wished his death!" She cried, looking at the charcoal bodies.

Meiling and Aiko looked at her sympathetically. "Don't worry, he's in a better place now. Away from gangs and death. He's probably happier." Meiling tried to comfort her by hugging her.

"What? Happy without my friends? That's definitely not possible."
