Winged Guardian: This far from completed fic was posted ages ago (okay, maybe not that
long, but I think it has been more than six months at least) under a different penname and
different email address - Illusion Dreamer = mystic_secrets@hotmail.com = However,
I haven't been using that account for a very long time and it's very probable that Hotmail has
already closed it, so when I updated, I decided to post it under this account instead.

Cold-blooded Assassin

By Winged Guardian


'Prologue of Story'


Everything in Sakura's life was falling apart. Her loved ones had died in a car crash
and the few who survived were dying. Touya, Sakura's big brother, was unconscious, in a
coma that he might never wake up from. Tomoyo, Sakura's cousin,'s health was
deteriorating day by day – having lost the will to live. Tomoyo had sunk into a state of
depression as her boyfriend was one of those who perished in the car crash. Sakura's
father was not one of the survivors. And neither was Yukito Tsukishiro, Sakura's fiancé.

Her hopes and dreams all shattered the one fateful night the accident took place, along
with her heart.

Sakura was now suddenly terribly alone in the harsh and cruel world. She had to learn
independence and was now burdened with the great responsibility of earning her living
and taking care of the expensive medical fees. She was only given one path to walk, one
road she could choose, with the slim chance of her brother and cousin to carry on living.
She had to become an assassin.

Driven by her love of her family members, Sakura worked relentlessly, eliminating the
targets whom were chosen by the people who hired her. She became a professional, the
best in her dangerous career.

Overtime, Sakura's heart hardened into ice. She murdered countless numbers of famed
people and accepted all missions. She killed mercifully and cleanly, not seeing the need
to put them through pain and making them suffer a slow and torturous death. Sakura built
up an impenetrable wall around her, preventing people from going near her heart,
avoiding a repeat of the painful experience of losing a loved one once again, feeling the
agony of the knowledge that she would never see them, their smiles, their teasing......

In truth, Sakura was a frightened and lonely girl who wished to be loved, but of course,
being the stubborn girl that she was, she would never admit it to herself. Instead, she kept
to herself, never letting anyone get near to her heart. Sakura kept up a front, her face
usually an emotionless blank, her green eyes, which used to be emeralds of sparkling
happiness, were now iced over, impassive. She assumed a cold air, never letting people
see her for who she really is.

Fear to love...a life without these emotions which people held close to their hearts...what
gave people meaning to their lives...Hope no longer existed for Sakura Kinomoto.

The only way for her to recover, for her emotional wounds to heal........was to find love
again...

But, Sakura would not let herself open up to others. She hurt too much.

Then, one day, she was sent on a mission.....................to assassinate Li Syaoran, the
successful and wealthy young businessman, the owner of the most prosperous company
in the whole of Japan AND China.
