Li walked into the lounge room and everyone turned to look at him. He met Sakura's bright emerald eyes and sighed.
" I don't know. " was all he said before sat down.
Sakura sharred looks with Madison and then Sakura got up and went over to Li.
" I brought her bag in. " she said softly.
Li nodded.
" What was in it? "
Sakura bit her lip.
" I didn't go through it. I couldn't. It just doesn't seem right. "
Li shot her a small smile.
" I thought you'd say as much. " he wrapped his arm around and hugged her close to him.
Sakura was startled. This was the most affection he'd shown her in years.
" Li what exactly happened tonight? " Madison asked softly. " I know you told us, but it wasn't in detail. "
Li rested his head against the back of the chair and sighed. He looked at everyone and told them everything he knew.
" And you saw how she fought. After what she had been through, she still fought like that. "
Sakura frowned in thought.
" She's been taught well. But the question is, who taught her to fight like that? "
" What's it matter? " Christina asked as she sat next to Skylar. " She lived didn't she? "
Eriol came into the room.
" It matters Christina, because whoever taught her could be a threat to us. The Black Wolf Chic has already threatened us once. "
Sakura jumped up angrily.
" But I already told you that she was just saying that to get the point across to the other gangs present. I told you what she told me. " she glarred at him.
Eriol met her angry gaze.
" I know Sakura. But how much of this girl do we know? Do we know what she is like? She
could just be leading you on. "
Sakura raised her chin haughtily and glarred back at him.
" I am not a fool Eriol. Remember that. " and with that she walked out of the room.
Li glarred at Eriol.
" I hope you're happy. " he spat. " Jesus Eriol, why can't you learn to keep your mouth shut? "
Tristan glarred at Li.
" It's not his fault! What he said is true, we don't know nothing of her. "
Li turned his glare on Tristan.
" I think you need to remember your place. " Li stated icily. He turned his glare on all present in the room.
" I think it's about time we all remembered our places. " and with that he stood and walked out of the room, shooting another death glare at Eriol as he walked past him.
The room was quiet. Madison starred down at her hands as Li's statement made them think. Madison hated the silence and coughed politely.
" Well I think it's been a long night for all of us. I'm going to bed. Tristan, Ally, you
should think about turning in as well. " her look left them without any doubt that they were to go to bed straight away.
Sakura walked into the room and Wei looked up from finshing up on Ying Fa.
" How is she? " she asked softly.
" It's hard to say yet Mistress Sakura. She suffered so much and yet she's in better condition than most I've treated with the same wounds. "
Sakura nodded.
" It is remarkable. She has a fighting spirit doesn't she? " Sakura chuckled softly.
Wei smiled.
" From what I've heard about the fight she was in, I'd say so, yes. "
Sakura lost her small smile.
" It was amazing. I don't think I've ever seen anyone fight like that, well maybe Li. "
Wei smiled.
" Anyway, I'll leave you to it. " she said softly and walked out, closing the door behind her.
Li walked into the bedroom and sat down on the bed. He spotted a photo album on the ground and leant down and picked it up and opened it. He smiled when he saw pictures Madison had taken for them when they had been kids. There were pictures of Sakura in her cheerleading uniform, and from the plays that they had done. He saw the photo of when he had come back and joined the soccer team and they had one their first game becuase of Nikki's wild idea. Li turned a couple more pages and saw pictures of them when they had been older, at the time of the Jade Fox. He smiled at the bright smile on her face.
He turned the page and lost his smile. They had been standing out the front of the Black Wolf Mansion, when the photo had been taken. It was just after Ying Fa's birth. They had been the perfect family. Ying Fa's bright emerald eyes smiled at him as he loked down at the picture of his baby girl. He closed the photo album and Rogue's picture flashed in his mind. Li frowned. The idea had been bugging him since the night of the party.
There was something he was missing. He thought about it. But what Rogue had told them, didn't match anything that could possibly make her Ying Fa. He sighed and dropped the album on the beside table. The door opened and Sakura walked in. She smiled faintly at Li as she closed the door and walked over to the bed where she flopped down on her stomach and starred at nothing as she hugged her pillow under her chin.
Li leaned back on the wall and ran his fingers through her hair. It was still so soft and silky even after all these years. Sakura closed her eyes enjoying his touch.
" I love you Li. " it was spoken softly but Li paused in his stroking and looked down at her.
Her emerald eyes looked up and met his and she smiled faintly. Li gave a small smile in return.
" I love you too Sakura. I always have and I always will. "
A tear fell don Sakura's heek and she got up and hugged Li tightly as she began to sob.
" I'm sorry Li. " she choked. " I know you told me to forget, but I can't! I miss her so much! "
Li sighed as he stroked her back as she cried.
" I never expected you to forget Sakura, I just wanted to you to put it out of you mind, to ease your pain. "
Sakura hiccupped.
" It's just that she reminds me so much of her! When I see Rogue, I can't help but wonder if that what's our baby would look like. "
Li lifted her chin.
" Sakura I don't know why it is that Rogue's here, but I think in a small way, she been sent to us. It's fate Sakura, I can feel it. Rogue is here for a purpose, in more ways than one. "
Sakura sniffled and wiped away her tears.
" I have never given up hope Li. I never will. I will go to my grave and still hope. "
Li looked startled and hugged her tighter.
" You aren't going anywhere yet Sakura. Please don't say such things, it scares me. "
Sakura blinked and then lowered her eyes.
" Gomen, it's just that it's true. "
Li nodded his head, but didn't say anything.
Sakura sighed and looked up at Li. She tranced her finger softly down his jaw and Li looked at her as she leant towards him and started to kiss him. Li wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer to him as he deepened the kiss. Sakura moved so she could straddle him and Li pulled back to look at her. Sakura smiled at him and ran her hands down his chest. Desire flared in Li's eyes and Sakura smiled at him.
Li leant closer to her and started to kiss her as she moaned and started to undo his shirt. It had been so long since they had last made love.

The next day
Syaoran couldn't find his father anywhere. He blew his long bangs out of his eyes in frustration. He knocked on the door to the bedroom and opened it, stopped dead and closed the door blushing a severe shade of beet root red.
" What's wrong Syaoran? " Ally asked coming up to him.
" Umm, nothing. Just kinda saw something I wish I hadn't. "
Ally smirked.
" Why? I mean everyone does it. " she smiled. " Especially around here. " she finished off rolling her eyes as if it wasn't some big secret.
Syaoran's eyes widened and backed up against the wall.
" Yeah well, I've gotta go. Bye. "
" What's the rush? " Ally stepped in front of him and starred at him with her deep, dark Violet eyes with the grey/blue specks in them. Her short black hair shined in the light.
Syaoran didn't like that look.
" What do you want? " he demanded on guard.
Ally smirked and shot him a seductive look. Syaoran had never seen that look before. She traced his jaw with her long finger.
" I don't want anything. I just thought you'd like to know that one day we will be doing
what makes you blush so. " she whispered softly.
" Huh? Wha?!! " Syaoran backed away from her. " What's wong with you? "
Ally smiled evilly and flicked her short hair and shot him another look.
" Nothing. I can't help it if I'm growing up can I? After all I am a young woman. And you know that young women need to be satisfied. And like most women, I know what I want and I want you."
Syaoran's mouth hit the ground.
Ally placed her hand on her hips and shot him another seductive look over her shoulder.
" Have a nice day Syaoran. " she said and laughed as she walked away, hips swaying.
Syaoran gulped and shook his head.
" Women! " he muttered and stalked off down the hallway away from Ally.
Ally heard him and cracked up laughing.
" Something funny? "
Ally drew up short and starred up at her mother composing her face.
" Oh nothing mother. I was just talking to Syaoran. "
" Uh huh. " Madison looked down at her daughter raising her eyebrow.
" I was! If you don't believe me go ask him! " Ally stated.
" I know very well what you were doing with Syaoran Ally. Leave him alone. I wish Christina would stop putting idea's in your head. "
Ally's mouth dropped open.
Madison then smirked and looked around her.
" Besides, Christina should have taught you that you don't do the whole seductive attack
unless you're lookiing absolutely drop dead gorgeous and your prey is renderred speechless. That's when you hit fast and hard. You'll knock 'em dead and they won't know what's come over them! "
Ally blinked.
" Geez! First Meilin tells me one thing, then Christina another and now you! How's a girl supposed to learn anything around here when you all don't know yourselves! I wash my hands of ever trying to learn anything from any of you! " and with that she stalked off.
Madison covered her mouth with her hands as she giggled as she watched her confused teenager waked off down the hall.
" Poor Ally. " she thought. " You have to learn that not everything is based on beauty and charm. It's who you are, not what you look like or what you are. "
Ying Fa opened her eyes and starred around the room. Then she remembered and groaned. She whimpered at the pain that shot across her stomach. She tried to sit up, but grunted in pain.
" I think I've broken everything in my body. " she muttered as the sheet fell away and she starred at her blood-stained clothes.
" I really need a shower. " she starred at the stitches in her arm and the stero strips on her stomach and frowned.
" Where the hell am I? The last thing I remember was falling down outside Koji's door. "
Ying Fa struggled to get her feet over the edge of the bed. When that was done, she gingerly stood up and walked towards the door making sure not to make any noise.
She opened the door a fraction and looked out. She wanted so much to be able to sleep again and forget the pain, but she had to find out where she was. She saw no one and walked out of the room and amde her way down the hall a little. She heard noises coming from down stairs and decided to stay far away from them until she figured out who she was with.
Ying Fa crept down the hall and opened a door here and there. But they were just bedrooms. God! How many people lived here? She opened one door and saw a computer room. There were computers and other technical stuff, She tooknote of where this rom was. She might come back here later - she wasn't a major hacker for nothing!
Ally had been in her room ehn she heard the noise. She frowned. Why was there someone walking around quietly? No one walked around quietly. Then she gasped and she jumped off her bed. Unless it's a intruder! she thought. Ally grabbed her gun and opened her door quietly. She didn't see anything, but she followed the noise down the hallway.
Ying Fa paused for a moment. Did she hear something? She continued to walk down the hallway and opened another door. It was just a closet.
Ally snuck up to the corner. There was someone around the corner. There! She heard the door opening quietly. She flicked off the safety cap on her gun and jumped around the corner with a shout. The dark figure looked up startled. The shadows hid whoever it was, but all Ally saw was the dried blood on the figure. She screamed an earpiercing scream. Ying Fa covered her ears and tried to calm the girl. But Ally thought she was trying to attack and fired her gun. Ying Fa ducked and got showered in glass as the bullet smashed the huge window behind her. She cried out as her stomach wrenched in pain and collapsed on her knees and grasped her stomach.
" ALLY! " Madison screamed as the entire Back Wolf Clan swarmed down the hallway and came around the corner.
Ying Fa had landed in the sunlight from the broken window and she glarred up at who she now recognised as the Black Wolves.
" Jesus what's wrong with you people! " she yelled. " Do you attack anything that moves?!!? " she gripped her stomach and rolled over and sat on the red carpetted floor.
Ally starred horrorfied at what she had almost done.
" Oh my god I'm so sorry! " she gasped.
Ying Fa scoffed and continued to glare at her.
" What are you? Trigger happy? "
Wei stepped forward and helped Ying Fa up.
" What are you doing walking around? You're supposed to be resting. "
Ying Fa turned her glare on him.
" I would love to be, but when you wake up, have no clue as to where the hell you are or who you're in the presence of, find that you've been stitched up and been taken care of, you kinda start to wonder you know? " she shrugged out of his helping grip and stepped back angrily. Her heart still pounding.
" Jesus for all I knew you could have been those Wolverine bastards that tried to kill me! Sorry for not staying put in one place wondering if I was waiting a death
sentence! "
Sakura stepped forward.
" Is that who did that to you? "
Ying Fa shot her a look.
" What do you reckon Jade Wolf? "
Sakura balked and Ying Fa smirked.
" Yeah I know all about you. Good story too by the way. Wish I could have been around to see it. "
Sakura looked at Li. Ying Fa shot a look at Wei.
" I take it you're the doc huh? Well thanks for your help, but this patient has outstayed her welcome and I must leave you. Don't worry about the check up. "
Christina stepped forward.
" You can't leave yet. Your wounds - "
" Look, I'm a tough girl. I can take care of myself. I've done so since I was six, I'm sure I can do it now even at the age of seventeen ok. " and with that she bowed her head in respect and hobbled back down the hallway trying not to show that she was in terrible pain.
Tristan listened to the whole thing and clenched his fists when he watched her walk off. He clenched his jaw and took off after her.
" Rogue. "
Ying Fa turned around to see who it was. When she saw him, she groaned and started to walk again.
" Rogue will you stop and look at yourself? You are not well enough to go anywhere. "
Ying Fa stopped and let him catch up with her.
" When I want your opinion - "
" You'll ask me for it right? Well I don't care, I'm giving it to you now, right here. "
She glarred at him and gripped her stomach and shuddered at the pain.
She looked up and met his violet eyes and the concern that was in them. She turned away.
" I have to get out of here. I have things to take care of, people to see. I cannot stay
where I'm going to be scarred to death by a triger happy teenager, who prefers to deafen first, then kill later. "
Tristan laughed.
" What's so funny? " Ying Fa demanded.
" That trigger happy teenager is my sister. "
Ying Fa blinked and then blushed.
" Remind me not to get in your bad books. " she muttered and started walking towards the room she woke up in.
" Hey come on Rogue. " Tristan said stepping front of her. " Do you want to risk anything more? The Wolverines was it you said? They don't let their prey go till they're satisfied. You look like hell now, imagine what they'll do to you if they find you again.
Remember you took 12 of their men, how you did it I will never know, but the point is they have a score to settle. Wouldn't you prefer to be at you strongest when you fight them again? "
Ying Fa sighed.
" I hate it when people talk sense into me. " she stated softy. " Just take me back to the damn room will you? "
Tristan smiled at her and she caught her breath. She blushed and walked past him.
" Rogue? "
" What? " she asked.
" Allow me. " he stooped, picked her up and gently carried her back to the room.
Li, Sakura and the others watched stunned.
" Well I never. " Sakura mumbled. " Looks like he talked her into staying. "
Madison nodded her head dumbly.
Ally looked at them .
" I'm so sorry. " she cried. " All I heard was someone walking around quietly and then when I saw the blood I didn't think, and fired. "
Madiso soothed her.
" Ally, everyone makes mistakes. Just be happy that no one was hurt. "
Syaoran saw how white her face was and felt sorry for her.
" I'll pay for the window Uncle Li. "
Li shook his head and playfully ruffled her hair.
" Don't worry about. Like you mother says, no one was hurt and it's just a window. "
Sakura hugged Ally.
" Syaoran, can you take her back to her room and take care of her? I'm going to go in search of some clothes for Rogue and I know Madison's going to want to come. "
" Damn right! " Madison confirmed winking.
Ally gave a half sob, half laugh and went to Syaoran when he nodded.
" Come on Al. " Syaoran said and guided her back down the hall to her room.
Sakura walked away towards the room Rogue and Tristan had disappeard into.
She heard Rogue laughing along with Tristan and knocked before she opened the door.
" Hi. I take it you've decided to stay? " Sakura asked.
Madison shot her son a look and Tristan blushed.
" Hai. " Ying Fa replied smiling. " Tristan was just telling me how funny everything is when you really think about it. I'm sorry I got angry and I yelled. "
Madiosn smiled in return.
" It's ok. Ally is a little shaken but she didn't mean to hurt you. "
Ying Fa nodded.
" Now Tristan scoot. Where going to get Rogue cleaned up and we're going to get some new clothes. " Sakura said and winked.
Tristan blushed redder and said a hurried 'goodbye' to Rogue before he disappeared out the door.
Madison stepped forward and smiled.
" Now Rogue, what kind of clothes will suit you? "
" I don't know. " was all he said before sat down.
Sakura sharred looks with Madison and then Sakura got up and went over to Li.
" I brought her bag in. " she said softly.
Li nodded.
" What was in it? "
Sakura bit her lip.
" I didn't go through it. I couldn't. It just doesn't seem right. "
Li shot her a small smile.
" I thought you'd say as much. " he wrapped his arm around and hugged her close to him.
Sakura was startled. This was the most affection he'd shown her in years.
" Li what exactly happened tonight? " Madison asked softly. " I know you told us, but it wasn't in detail. "
Li rested his head against the back of the chair and sighed. He looked at everyone and told them everything he knew.
" And you saw how she fought. After what she had been through, she still fought like that. "
Sakura frowned in thought.
" She's been taught well. But the question is, who taught her to fight like that? "

" It matters Christina, because whoever taught her could be a threat to us. The Black Wolf Chic has already threatened us once. "

Sakura raised her chin haughtily and glarred back at him.
" I am not a fool Eriol. Remember that. " and with that she walked out of the room.
Li glarred at Eriol.
" I hope you're happy. " he spat. " Jesus Eriol, why can't you learn to keep your mouth shut? "
Tristan glarred at Li.
" It's not his fault! What he said is true, we don't know nothing of her. "
Li turned his glare on Tristan.
" I think you need to remember your place. " Li stated icily. He turned his glare on all present in the room.
" I think it's about time we all remembered our places. " and with that he stood and walked out of the room, shooting another death glare at Eriol as he walked past him.
The room was quiet. Madison starred down at her hands as Li's statement made them think. Madison hated the silence and coughed politely.
" Well I think it's been a long night for all of us. I'm going to bed. Tristan, Ally, you

" Anyway, I'll leave you to it. " she said softly and walked out, closing the door behind her.
Li walked into the bedroom and sat down on the bed. He spotted a photo album on the ground and leant down and picked it up and opened it. He smiled when he saw pictures Madison had taken for them when they had been kids. There were pictures of Sakura in her cheerleading uniform, and from the plays that they had done. He saw the photo of when he had come back and joined the soccer team and they had one their first game becuase of Nikki's wild idea.

Ying Fa scoffed and continued to glare at her.
" What are you? Trigger happy? "
Wei stepped forward and helped Ying Fa up.
" What are you doing walking around? You're supposed to be resting. "
Ying Fa turned her glare on him.
" I would love to be, but when you wake up, have no clue as to where the hell you are or who you're in the presence of, find that you've been stitched up and been taken care of, you kinda start to wonder you know? " she shrugged out of his helping grip and stepped back angrily. Her heart still pounding.
" Jesus for all I knew you could have been those Wolverine bastards that tried to kill me! Sorry for not staying put in one place wondering if I was waiting a death
sentence! "
Sakura stepped forward.
" Is that who did that to you? "
Ying Fa shot her a look.
" What do you reckon Jade Wolf? "
Sakura balked and Ying Fa smirked.
" Yeah I know all about you. Good story too by the way. Wish I could have been around to see it. "
Sakura looked at Li. Ying Fa shot a look at Wei.
" I take it you're the doc huh? Well thanks for your help, but this patient has outstayed her welcome and I must leave you. Don't worry about the check up. "
Christina stepped forward.
" You can't leave yet. Your wounds - "
" Look, I'm a tough girl. I can take care of myself. I've done so since I was six, I'm sure I can do it now even at the age of seventeen ok. " and with that she bowed her head in respect and hobbled back down the hallway trying not to show that she was in terrible pain.
Tristan listened to the whole thing and clenched his fists when he watched her walk off. He clenched his jaw and took off after her.
" Rogue. "
Ying Fa turned around to see who it was. When she saw him, she groaned and started to walk again.
" Rogue will you stop and look at yourself? You are not well enough to go anywhere. "
Ying Fa stopped and let him catch up with her.
" When I want your opinion - "
" You'll ask me for it right? Well I don't care, I'm giving it to you now, right here. "
She glarred at him and gripped her stomach and shuddered at the pain.
She looked up and met his violet eyes and the concern that was in them. She turned away.
" I have to get out of here. I have things to take care of, people to see. I cannot stay
where I'm going to be scarred to death by a triger happy teenager, who prefers to deafen first, then kill later. "
Tristan laughed.
" What's so funny? " Ying Fa demanded.
" That trigger happy teenager is my sister. "
Ying Fa blinked and then blushed.
" Remind me not to get in your bad books. " she muttered and started walking towards the room she woke up in.
" Hey come on Rogue. " Tristan said stepping front of her. " Do you want to risk anything more? The Wolverines was it you said? They don't let their prey go till they're satisfied. You look like hell now, imagine what they'll do to you if they find you again.
Remember you took 12 of their men, how you did it I will never know, but the point is they have a score to settle. Wouldn't you prefer to be at you strongest when you fight them again? "
Ying Fa sighed.
" I hate it when people talk sense into me. " she stated softy. " Just take me back to the damn room will you? "
Tristan smiled at her and she caught her breath. She blushed and walked past him.
" Rogue? "
" What? " she asked.
" Allow me. " he stooped, picked her up and gently carried her back to the room.
Li, Sakura and the others watched stunned.
" Well I never. " Sakura mumbled. " Looks like he talked her into staying. "
Madison nodded her head dumbly.
Ally looked at them .
" I'm so sorry. " she cried. " All I heard was someone walking around quietly and then when I saw the blood I didn't think, and fired. "
Madiso soothed her.
" Ally, everyone makes mistakes. Just be happy that no one was hurt. "
Syaoran saw how white her face was and felt sorry for her.
" I'll pay for the window Uncle Li. "
Li shook his head and playfully ruffled her hair.
" Don't worry about. Like you mother says, no one was hurt and it's just a window. "
Sakura hugged Ally.
" Syaoran, can you take her back to her room and take care of her? I'm going to go in search of some clothes for Rogue and I know Madison's going to want to come. "
" Damn right! " Madison confirmed winking.
Ally gave a half sob, half laugh and went to Syaoran when he nodded.
" Come on Al. " Syaoran said and guided her back down the hall to her room.
Sakura walked away towards the room Rogue and Tristan had disappeard into.
She heard Rogue laughing along with Tristan and knocked before she opened the door.
" Hi. I take it you've decided to stay? " Sakura asked.
Madison shot her son a look and Tristan blushed.
" Hai. " Ying Fa replied smiling. " Tristan was just telling me how funny everything is when you really think about it. I'm sorry I got angry and I yelled. "
Madiosn smiled in return.
" It's ok. Ally is a little shaken but she didn't mean to hurt you. "
Ying Fa nodded.
" Now Tristan scoot. Where going to get Rogue cleaned up and we're going to get some new clothes. " Sakura said and winked.
Tristan blushed redder and said a hurried 'goodbye' to Rogue before he disappeared out the door.
Madison stepped forward and smiled.
" Now Rogue, what kind of clothes will suit you? "
