Chapter 13

Rogue sat in the loungeroom in the clothes that Madison had made her wear. She felt out of place in these non-street fighter clothes. But then again all she had known was the street in most cases. She was watching Tristan, Skylar and another man play poker.

Skylar so far, had all the money, and Tristan was busy cursing him to his grave because of it. Skylar laughed and placed more into the beat. Rogue had found her bag on the coffee table earlier and was happy to find that it hadn't been through. She reached in and pulled out a wad of money. Why not? She was bored.

She walked over to the table and stood between Skylar and Tristan. They instantly hid their cards. She smiled at them.

" Mind if I play? " she asked sweetly.

" We're kinda in the middle of it. " Tristan began.

Rogue showed them the wad of money and their eyes widened.

" I have the money to bet. "

Skylar looked at the other guy.

" Rogue this is serious. We're playing for money, not fun. "

Rogure shot him a look.

" Who said that fun can't be in the equation? But I see you're point, but let me put it this way. Let me play, I may not be very good, but if I can't win this game within 3 moves, not only will I give you this money here, you'll be able to place that on top of your earnings. "

The 3 men looked at each other.

" Why not. But you know you can't win within 3 moves. It's unheard of. " said the other man.

Rogue just shrugged and placed the money on the table.

Tristan dealt her cards and met her eyes as he handed them to her.

" Move 1. "

Rogue masked her expression as she sorted her cards. She placed three on the table and Tristan dealt her some more cards.

" Move 2. " stated Skylar.

Rogue's excitement grew. She waited till the others were ready. Tristan was waiting to give her some more cards, but she met his gaze and placed her cards on the table.

" I believe gentlemen that that was my final move. "



They half raised out of their seats to look at the cards. It was four aces.

Skylar fell back in his chair and starred at her in shock.

" I don't believe it. "

Rogue smiled brightly.

" I admit the rules were different from Poker, but I still won. Pay up. "

Skylar reluctantly handed over the money. Rogue counted it and seemed pleased.

" Pleasure playin' with you boys. " she said.

" Hang on, I thought you said you couldn't play very well? " Tristan demanded.

Rogue smirked.

" Do you honestly think that you would have let me play if you thought I was good? "

Tristan starred at her and Rogue fluttered her eyelashes at him.

" You men will fall for anything, especially the innocent act. " she placed her hand on her hip and winked.

" Now boys, I'll leave you to resume play. " and with that she struttered away, hips swaying seductively.

Tristan looked at Skylar dumbfounded.

" Did that just happen? "

Skylar shook his head.

" Yeah. " he replied still in a daze.

" She tricked us! " Tristan spluttered getting out of his chair.

Suddenly Skylar burst out laughing.

" And to think we were stupid enough to fall for it! "

The other guy started laughing too.

Tristan looked at them all and sat back down grumbling.

" Don't be such a sore loser. " Skyalr chided clapping him on the back. " You have to admit she's clever. "

" Oh yeah clever alright the little minx. " Tristan muttered.

* * *

Rogue walked down the hallway and heard typing. She stopped and peered in a door. She saw a huge room filled with computers, faxes and other technical equipment. Some girl she had never seen before, was typing furiously at the main computer. Rogue knowing she shouldn't be here, backed away quietly and walked down the hall. Now on her own, she remembered all the things that still needed to be done.

She went back to the room beside the ER that they had given her to use for a while. She knew she couldn't stay for much longer. She sat down and grabbed some paper from the desk and a pen. At the top of the paper she wrote:

Things To Do

#1 Use clues, find family.

#2 Go after Komoji

#3 revenge on Wolverines.

These were her main priorities at the moment. Ying Fa stassed that in her bag and sat and thought. How could she get the Wolverines back for almost killing her? She was pissed were they were concerned and she was determined to take them out. Every single last one of them. Now this gang was a huge one. She couldn't take them on to get rid of them. She considerred them a plague and she needed to wipe it out, and to do that she had to get to the roots.

A slow, evil smile spread across her face as an idea started forming in her head. If she could only use that computer room, she could hack into the main frame, disarm everything for a moment, get the info she needed and put everything in place before anyone was the wiser. That decided, she would go tonight. But when? That was the problem.

A knock on her door soon gave her the answer. It was Leiko.

" Hi. " she said as she sat down. " Just came to see how you're doing. I'm Leiko by the way. "

Rogue smiled.

" Pleased to meet you. " she returned.

* Ok. * thought Ying Fa. * I mean I may be a street girl, and the merciless Black Wolf Chic, but that doesn't mean I don't have any manners. I mean I can be nice and friendly

too. *

" I just wanted to know if you wanted to come along tonight? We're going to go party. "

Rogue forced herself to say no.

" No sorry. My arm's still a little sore and I'm not in the party mood. "

Leiko shrugged.

" I thought I'd ask anyway. Tristan said you wouldn't come. "

Rogue bristled.

" He did did he? Well I guess he's right. " she wasn't going to fall for the challenge not this time.

" See you later. "

" Bye. " Rogue said.

* * * *

Later that night.

Ying Fa starred at the sunset. The firery hues contrasted together and lightened her determination to do this even though she was still hurt. There was a few Wolves left and she had to be careful. They were all playing Poker down stairs and she knew that nothing would get their imediate attention.

Ying Fa snuck to the door and knew that it would be locked. She pulled out her lock-picking tools and slid them into the lock and smirked when she heard the click. She pushed into the door and closed it quietly. She pushed her jacket that Madison had given her along the bottom of the door. She didn't want the light to shine out into the hallway.

Ying Fa sat down at the table and looked at everything. She cracked her knuckles and smiled. She started typing furiously, bringing up the main frame. She clicked into this and that and within a few moves, had totally switched off the secruity system for the mansion. She wasn't stupid enough to do the whole area. She wasn't going to leave them defenseless.

She found a stack of disks and picked one up. She shoved it in and made sure it was blank before she used it. She hacked her way into their files and located the file on the Wolverines. She scanned it and got most of the info she needed. She copied it and sent it to the disk. A file caught her attention. It was labelled 'Komoji'. She copied it and sent it to the disk. She would read it later.

She knocked down more defenses and put them back up as she went through. She was basically cleaning up the mess she made as she went, so she wouldn't trip. She found several files that she knew would be helpful to her cause and sent them to her disks.

She hacked into the internet and logged onto a satelite and got pictures of the Wolverine mansion and the surrounding area. She logged off before they could catch her and then diing the final touches, she closed off making sure everything was as it had been. She got back into the secruity side of things and put them on a timer. They would come back on in exactly 45 minutes. By then, she should be gone.

Ying Fa put on her clothes, that someone had washed for her. She made sure she had everything and then bolted down stairs. She watched the men play Poker and hid in the shadows. How was she going to get past them? She decided that she might as well make a run for it. She bolted and stopped. No one had noticed her! She sighed and then bolted out the front door. Her bike was out the front and she sighed. At least she wouldn't have to worry about finding it. She wheeled it for a little while up the driveway and knew that the secruity was going to kick in at any moment.

She jumped on the bike, it roared to life and she sped off towards the front gates, just as the others ran to the window and saw her leave.

* * *

Ying Fa sped through every red light, give way sign that she came across. She sped back to where she had been challenged - Koji's house. She pulled up and ran to the front door, ignoring all her aches and pains. There was silence, but she knew he was home.

" Koji Horoshii if you don't get your butt to this door and let me in at this very moment

I swear I'll kick it in! "

The door flew open and Koji starred at her. He instantly saw all her healing wounds.

" Ying Fa! Wha - "

Ying Fa looked back to the street.

" Koji listen we've got trouble. Get anything of value and lets book it. You're not safe here anymore. "

Koji didn't need to think twice. He bolted inside grabbed his things and got on the back of the bike and held on tight as Ying Fa sped down the road.

**

Ying Fa had briefly told Koji what had happened as she drove around. She was making sure they weren't being followed. Koji had told her about how he had come back and found her gun and the blood on the door. Of the bodies that had lain there, there had been none.

Ying Fa turned up a street and noticed about 10 black cars, travelling together. Ying Fa recognised the car in front and swore. When Koji asked her what was wrong she looked over her shoulder and loked at him.

" It's the damn Wolves! "

Koji groaned.

" Hang on! ' she said and sped up past 115km/h.

**

Sakura, Li, Syaoran and Meilin had the windows down letting the cool night air toy with their hair as Li drove. Tristan was talking to Syaoran from across the other car, that Eriol drove beside them. It had been a great night. They weren't ready to go back home yet but they heard the bike coming. Li looking in the side mirror.

" What are they doing 115 for on a 80 road for? " Li asked looking at Sakura.

Sakura shrugged turning in her seat to watch as the bike roared up behind them.

Ying Fa looked and saw the lane closest to the pavement free and swerved towards it. All the street lights were on that side and she hated that fact, but she needed to get out of this roadway quickly.

Eriol also looked in side mirror and watched as the bike came up behind them.

" That bike looks familar. " he stated and Madison, like Sakura, was turned in her seat watching too.

Ying Fa sped up to their cars and the street light threw it's golden light onto them. The Black Wolves gaped as Rogue and her rider sped past them and through the red light 50 metres in front of them. Li and Sakura sharred looks.

Just then they heard a massive screech as brakes were slammed on and watched as 500 metres up the road, Rogue's bike swerve to the side and come to an arrupt halt, smoke rising up fom the tire marks she had made on the road.

Li had to stop at the red light as did the others and all they could do was watch as in front of them another car, this time red, blocked the road. The road was empty at this time, because not many people were still awake at this time, but Ying Fa was trapped.

**

Ying Fa snarled and looked at Koji.

" Got your gun? "

" You betcha. "

" I hope your a good aim. "

She fired the bike to life and spun it round on the road and headed back down the other way she had come.

Gun shots followed her and she gritted her teeth and swerved to the side and then back the other way. The red light had changed and Li and the others slammed on the gas and sped down towards where Ying Fa and her rider were coing back towards them.

Koji turned around and fired a few rounds. True to his word, he hit the windscreen and glass shattered everywhere and hit one man, killing him in the back seat.

" Did you see that? " Koji yelled over the roar of the engine.

" I'm kinda busy here! " Ying Fa yelled.

She saw the Wolves and swerved closer to them.

" Stay out of it! " she yelled at Li as she wizzed past.

Li shot her a look over his shoulder and then Sakura yelled.

" Li they're going for us! "



Eriol fired at them and swung the car around. Blocking the road. Li did the same creating a barracade. The red car fired at them and Sakura wipped out her gun fired round after round and they eventually turned around and fled back up from where they had come from.

Li looked at Sakura.

" Why would Rogue be riding around? "

Sakura shrugged and then picked up the phone and dialed.

" Rytoshi, is everything ok there? "

Sakura frowned and then hung up.

" He said everything's fine, but Rogue took off about an hour ago. "

Li manoevered the car to the side of the road and the others did the same. Li got out as he heard the bike coming back. They all got out and waited as it slowed down. Rogue glarred at Li.

" I told you to stay out of it! " she fumed. " We were handling it. "

Li glarred back at her.

" We just saved your life. "

Ying Fa shot his glare back at him.

" Damn it to hell Li, you did nothing. Blocking a road and scarring them off does nothing. "

Sakura forward.

" Rogue, we only wanted to help. "

Ying Fa turned her glare on her.

" Lot of good that did! This roadside will be swarming with the bastards in a few minutes and I don't want them knowing where the hell I'm going! I was greatful for what you guys did for me, but I don't like people interferring in my work, debt or no. Just stay the hell out of my business and I'll stay well away from you! " and with that she sped off.

Tristan got back in the car stunned. Was it just me or did that girl have a bad temper? Geez we were only trying to help he thought as he watched her sped away.

* * *

Ying Fa colasped on her sofa and layed there not moving. Koji sat down across from her on the lounge.

" Well there's my entertainment for the night. "

" Koji get my computer please I can't move. "

Koji brought it over and Ying Fa downloaded all the info into her file. She scanned the info on the Wolverines and a smirk started to form.

" I know all their weaknesses in their building structures and from them, that place will go babye. "

" What are you going to do? "

" I'm going to lure them to their litle headquarters and I going to blow that son of a bitch sky high with all of them inside it. Then this way everyone will know I mean business and that I don't appriciate being used as a moving target. "

Koji looked at her.

" Isn't that a little too - "

" Malicious, vindictive, spiteful? Koji look at me! Do you think these tickle? I refuse to be held down by these people that think that I'm just a litle girl out for a joyride. I've been there and I've done that, and now I'm going to show them what it's like to be on the recieving end of the stick for once. I'm going to show them that what they start, I'll finish. "

Koji sighed.

" Then I'm with you all the way. What do you need? "

* * *

A week later

Ying Fa studyied her wounds in the mirror. They were going to leave scars. Oh well it didn't matter, they were only going to be faint. Today was doomsday. Koji had assure her that the bombs had been planted exactly where she had wanted them to be. Now her sources had told her that most of the Wolverines were out prowling. She sat down and logged into her computer. She hacked away furiously until she broke their security system and shutted everything down. She slipped in a disk and sent the virus into their system. They wouldn't get that back up and running.

Next she went over to her frequency radio and turned it to the station Koji had given her.

" This is the Black Wolf Chic. I have a message for the Wolverines. Someone's on your territory and so far I'm liking what I'm seeing. You'd better get back Wolverines before I steal your territory right from underneath you. " she laughed and hung up and did a little move.

" Show time. " she said and raced down to the garage.

**

Everywhere over town, cars swerved and turned back towards their headquarters. They had recieved the message and were now answering it.

**

Rogue pulled up quietly in the cover of the bushes and watched as car after car pulled up and the Wolverines ran inside. She smirked and waited for Koji to give her the signal. Ying Fa pulled out her computer and hacked again into their system. They had automatic locks and bars on every level of their mansion and underground network. This was going to be fun in a shameful, evil way.

Koji signalled her from his positon letting her know that most of them were in there. Koji ran like all hell back to his car and sped off. Ying Fa typed away and waited just a little longer. Another car pulled up and several more people got out of it and went inside. Ying Fa knew she couldn't wait anymore. She hit the enter key and she listened as clicks were heard as the doors and windows locked.

She got on her bike and sped off down the road. She pulled over at a safe distance and opened her palm. Inside was a little black device. It had a little orange button and she pushed it. The ground shook and vibrated as a massive explosion ripped the ground apart and blew sky high. A small part of her felt sorry for them, but then she remembered her wounds and the pain and she turned on her bike and sped off back the way she had come.

**

The next day the news, the radio, the internet and the paper all buzzed with the man-made crater that had once been the former long-view mansion. It also buzzed with the news about how police had discovered that it was a gang hideout.

Ying Fa watched it no longer interested. It was done and it was no longer a concern.

She was dressed in normal clothes and was going walking down the street. It was time to buy groceries again and she wanted to do some more shopping. Koji was coming with her.

Ying Fa carried several bags of clothes and they were stopping at a small cafe to eat lunch. Koji slid in the chair across from her looked at the menu.

" Black called me earlier. He's concerned. He wants to now why you've forgotten why you're here. "

Ying Fa looked up from the menu.

" Koji, I haven't forgotten why I'm here ok. There's just too much in the way for me to do anything about it. I take something out, another thing pops up in the way. "

They ordered their lunch.

" What are we doing tonight? " Koji asked.

" I was thinking that we might go to the video store and hire some movies. I don't feel

like doing anything for a few months. What do you think? "

Koji nodded.

" Sounds good. Oh did I mention that Black wants you to go back to visit? He wants to talk to you. "

Ying Fa looked at him.

" That's what telephone's are for. "

" In person Ying Fa. " Koji stated dryly.

Just then Syaoran and Ally walked in.

" Do I have a tracking device on me or something? " Ying Fa asked exasperated.

They didn't notice her and went to the other side of the cafe.

" Obviously not. " Koji commented.

" Thank you for that Sherlock. " Ying Fa threw back.

" Just ignore them. " Koji said taking his lunch from the waitress.

Ying Fa excepted hers as well and dug in hungrily to her sandwhich.

Ying Fa payed for the bill and together they left the cafe. Ying Fa and Koji made their way across the street and went into the video store. Koji, within minutes of being in the store, had to drag Ying Fa away from the kunfu fighting movies. Ying Fa protested the whole time.

With their movies selected they walked back down the street towards the apartment.
