Chapter 15
Ying Fa rested her arm on the window ledge as she drove down the deserted highway. She sighed for the hundredth time that night. The others were travelling in front of her. She turned off her cd player with annoyance. She checked in the rear view mirror and with a look of determination, she pressed on the accelerator and flicked on the blinker as she started to overtake Shinji.
Shinji shot her a look as she passed him and let her overtake him. Ying Fa shot him a quick glance as she swept back in front of him and then slowed down again, but it didn't settle her restlessness. Then it suddenly clicked. She was feeling restless because she wasn't feeling the wind like she did when she rode. She wanted to feel the wind! She pressed the automatic button and smiled satisfied as all the windows went down.
Then checking Shinji in the rear view mirror she slammed on the accelerator. The car jerked and the tyres screeched and then she shot forward startling Shinji and the others in the car behind as she sped way ahead of them doing nearly 200+ km/h on an 100 strip. Shinji slammed on the accelerator and chased after her wondering what she was doing.
The cell rang and Ying Fa smirked. She picked it up still watching the road and answered it.
" Ever enjoyed the feeling of being free Shinj? " she asked.
" Yeah? " he said slowly. " But what's going on? "
" I'm bored Shinji. I'm sick of starring at white line after white line on this freaking road. God last time I travelled this road I was asleep! I had no idea it was sooo
boring! "
" That's why we call it travelling Ying Fa. " Shinji replied dryly.
" Hey I just realised something. " Ying Fa said looking around.
" What? "
" I just realised that I have no idea where I'm going. " she said with an anime tear drop.
" That's why I was wondering why you took off. You are supposed to be following me remember? "
" Ok I'm not slowing down Shinji. So you better catch up. "
" Is that a threat? " Shinji asked smiling.
" No, " Ying Fa replied smirking. " That's a challenge. Up for it or are you chicken? "
Ying Fa watched as Shinji sammed on the brakes making the car go faster.
Shinji shot her a look as he held the phone and sped past her.
" Fast enough for you? " came in her phone.
" Not nearly enough. " Ying Fa replied and hung up, pushing her car to go faster.
She laughed. This night wasn't so boring after all.

Koji walked down the street planning on meeting Mason for some info. But for the last few minutes, he wasn't entirely sure, but he was sure he was being followed. He looked behind him and managed to catch a glimpse of a dark shadow ducking back into the alley. He frowned and started walking faster.
Across the street Syaoran and Alley watched the coming and goings of the day. Tristan sat next to them at the cafe table bored out of his mind. The last thing he wanted was to watch he younger sister flirt with his cousin. Going out with family cousins wasn't entirely frowned upon in his family, why his grandmother Li was always encouraging it as long as it was only to family. Something about keeping the family blood strong and unmixed. Some even married cousins, distant cousins and what have you. But Tristan still thought it a little weird, but hey that was his family and if they went along with it so would he.
He looked down at his lunch and pushed it away he wasn't very hungry. Suddenly Ally eyes lit up.
" Cute guy at nine o'clock. Meow is he hot! "
Both Tristan and Syaoran looked across the street and watched as the tall stranger looked back over his shoulder again.
" And by the looks of it he's being followed too. " Syaoran said darkly shooting Ally a dark look.
She smirked at his obvious show of jealousy and she glowed.
" So? Tall, mysterious and cute. I'm up for it! " then she paused.
" What? " Tristan asked watching her carefully. No sister of his was gouing after some guy she knew nothing about.
" He looks familar. "
" Every guy looks familar to you. " Trsiatn replied toying with his lunch.
Ally snapped her fingers.
" That's it! I know where I saw him. He was riding on the back of Rogue's bike that night when she yelled at Aunty Sakura and Uncle Li. Geez that was a while ago wasn't it? Big brother have you seen Rogue since? You always seem to know what's going on with
her. "
Syaoran noticed Tristan's blush and raised his eyebrow.
" Y-e-s. ' he began slowly. " That is interesting. You always do seem to know what's going on with her. What's the story? "
" I-I don't always - know " Tristan spluttered and then shot the guy another look.
" I'll catch you later. I have something I need to do. " he said and jumped up still watching Koji as he disappeared around the corner.
" Hey! " Ally yelled. " Where are you going? "
" Never mind. I'll catch you later. " Tristan yelled back as he dashed across thr street.
Syaoran and Ally exchanged glances.
Koji stopped and ducked into an alley and watched as heis follower walked straight past him. He glarred at the man's back and waited until he was out of sight. Now what was that all about he wondered. He checked over his shoulder and after a few minutes walked back out on to the street. He bumped into someone in front of him and he stepped back ready for anything. He looked at Tristan.
" I've walked past this place already. You sure know how to lose anyone trying to track you down. " he said masking his expression.
" That's the general idea of it kid. " Koji replied looking around him.
Tristan glowered red with anger.
" I am not a kid. " he spat. " And I want to talk to you. "
" So talk already. " Koji said impatiently.
" I want to know where Rogue is. "
Koji balked.
" What? What makes you think I know a Rogue? " he said cautiously.
Tristan sighed exasperated.
" Hello, I'm a Black Wolf, the best in the business. Besides I saw you on the back of her bike back on the highway 2 weeks ago. " Tristan said still peeved.
Koji masked his expression.
" Ok maybe I know Rogue. But what makes you think I'm going to tell you where she is? "
Tristan yelled frustrated.
" Will you stop playing this cock and bull crap! I know Rogue, I'm a good friend and I freaking want to know where the hell she is and don't screw me around pal, or I'll go and tell your stalker friend whose waiting for you at the next paper stand watching this converstaion right now that you are here. "
Koji looked stunned and looked past Tristan to the paper stand and saw his stalker friend.
" How'd you- ? "
Tristan smirked.
" I told you I'm good. Now some info."
Koji eyes him warily and Tristan glarred at him.
" Name? " Koji asked looking like he had all the time in the world.
Tristan clenched his fists trying for control.
" Tristan. "
" I don't believe she's mentioned you before. "
Tristan glarred at him some more making him smirk.
" Look kid if your some adoring fan, forget it I - "
Tristan reached up and grabbed Koji's collar and he glarred at him.
" I'm warning you. I want to know where the hell she is and I suggest you tell me. I'm not a very patient man. "
Koji burst out laughing.
" Oh boy you are comical. I could take you out in a second kid. Rogue's my main priority and I'm not giving anything away unless she confirms that you are who you say you are and that she actually knows you. "
Trsiatn frowned and then backed off,.
" What are you to her? " he asked angrily.
Koji studied the jealousy in his eyes and sobered up. This was serious.
" Look Kid - "
" The name's Tristan or are you friggin deaf? "
" Tristan, look I want you to do me a favour. "
" What? " Tristan snapped.
Koji shot him a glare.
" Stay away from her. "
Tristan starred at him in shock forgetting to mask his expression.
" What? "
Koji starred at him intensly.
" Listen Tristan or whoever you are. Rogue's got some important business to take care of and she doesn't need the likes of you hanging around ok? Just do us all a favour and stay away. We're in a differnet league from any of you city gangs. It's more dangerous and gamely, so just don't get in the way. "
" What makes you think I'm going to pay any attention to your empty threats? "
" Because if your smart enough you'll stay out it. Otherwise you might cost us everything. "
" Us? So you and her - " Tristan asked through a tight throat.
Koji smirked. He was enjoying this.
" What's it to you? "
Tristan stiffened.
" I don't believe it. This is your way of testing me isn't it? Well I won't give in. "
Koji smirked.
" Look kid. " Koji smirked. " Rogue is a street girl. She was raised on the streets and she lives by the code of the street life. You're in a different category altogether so why don't you give up while you can? Either that or join the line of all the other would be boyfriends and admirers. "
Tristan blanched like he had been struck.
" And believe me, " Koji liked twisting the knife a little harder. " There is a long
que. " he shot Tristan another glance and then looked at the guy that was watching him and he ducked back into the alley leaving a very upset and confused Tristan behind.
* * *
Koji pressed his back against the wall and waited silently as his stalker walked swiftly into the dark alley. He had been watching this pain in the ass for half an hour as he had ducked into one alley after the other. One thing was for sure, this guy was good.
Koji flipped the blade on his knife and held it securely. He waited until the guy was directly in front of him and walking past before he pounced. He locked his arms around the guy's throat, but no one that was sent to watch him was a quiter. The guy wrestled free and Koji jumped back as a knife blade wizzed past his face.
" Oh your good. " Koji smirked as he circled his opponet. " Who sent you my friend? "
The man starred back at him but remained silent.
" Strong silent type huh? I just hate that. " Koji said.
The guy lunged for him and Koji grabbed him and tried to drive the knife home, but the guy elbowed him and jumped back.
" Why won't you just let me kill you and be over with it? " Koji asked exasperated. " I just hate people that fight. "
" What a pity. If your not up to the challenge, then allow me to do you the honers. "
" Ah! It does talk after all. " Koji said sarcastically and tripped the guy.
As quick as lighting, Koji pressed his knee onto the guy's chest and held him down and held his knife every close to his throat.
" Who sent you? "
" Go to hell. " the guy spat and cut Koji wrist.
Koji glarred and pressed the knife closer making him bleed.
" I won't repeat myself. "
" I'm as good as dead anyway. I'd rather die than go back to Komoji and tell him I've failed. "
Koji's eyes widened.
" Komoji? "
The man realised his mistake and groaned.
" Kill me please! "
" Why is Komoji after me? "
" Go to hell! "
Koji's hand wrapped tightly around his throat.
" Why is he after me?!! "
" I don't know! "
" Liar! "
" I swear! I don't know! All he said was to track down the guardian to Ying Fa and - "
" And what?!! "
" And kill him. " the man replied.
Koji thought rapidly.
He growled and slit the other man's throat. He gargled and then lay still. Koji sat back and pulled out his cell after a few minutes. He hit speed dial and a few minutes later Black answered.
" Is Ying Fa with you? " Koji asked.
Black looked at the young woman laughing with Cleo on the lounge in front of him.
" Yes she is. What's happened. "
Koji told him.
" But what I don't understand is how can Komoji know Ying Fa's name? And how does he know so much? "
BlaCK sighed.
" Koji listen. Don't worry about it. These are you orders. I want to to forget everything you are doing there right now. Drop everything - disappear. Go somewhere where no one knows you and won't recognise you. Do you hear me? I'll keep in touch and fill you in as
we go. Ying Fa is goin to have to work on her own for a while. It's dodgey, but people know you Koji. You've made too many enemies in the past. If Komoji is tracking you to get to her, it'll be the end. "
Koji nodded.
" All right. I'll take off. Bye. "
* * *
Black sighed and put down his phone. The room had fallen silent watching him.
" What's going on? " Ying Fa asked.
" Ying Fa I wish to talk to you please. "
Ying Fa closed the door.
" Why have you sent Koji away? " she demanded angrily.
" Ying Fa, Komoji has somehow become aware of you and he is showing a great interest in you. He's tracking Koji to get to you. "
Ying Fa gaped.
" But why?!! "
" You obviously propose a threat to him. " Black lied. He knew why Komoji was after her. He knew the heir still lived.
Ying Fa sighed.
" I can use it to get to Komoji. "
Black shook his head.
" Komoji isn't important Ying Fa. "
Ying Fa went to protest and then remembered. He didn't know about her revenge plan.
" But finding your family is. Why have you stopped searching? "
" I haven't! " she defended sitting down. " I've just had other problems that have gotten in the way. "
Black glarred at her.
" Yes. Joy rides, boosts, explosions. I know what is important! If you didn't want this in the first place Ying Fa why go along with it? "
She starred at him speechless.
" You think I just took ehat you taught me for granted? I been building a reputation damn it! " she yelled. " Then the Black Wolves keep getting in my way and Tristan - "
" Back up. " Black suddenly stated stiffening. " What was that about the Black Wolves. "
Ying Fa eyes him suspiciously.
" You know what I said. What are you looking at me like that for? "
" Maybe you haven't been playing around like I thought. " Black covered. She was closer than she thought.
" What do you mean? "
" I first told you to seek out the most powerful gang and you have. And by the sounds of it you've gotten close to them. "
" How can you tell. I didn't say it straight out. " Ying Fa asked.
" I can pick up from what people don't tell me. " Black shot back.
Ying Fa humphed in her chair and glarred at him.
" Do you remember what else I told you? "
" Yeah find their enemy and - " she stopped. " Kommoji. " she finished looking at him.
Black starred at her.
" Komoji's been the answer all along? I was going to go after that bastard for another reason, but do you mean to tell me that he has something to do with me being taken away from my family? "
Black leaned back in his chair and didn't say anything.
" Oh fuck! " Ying Fa swore and hit the arms of the chair. " Why didn't you just come out and freaking tell me from the god damn beginning?!! "
" I told you it was up to you to prove yourself. " Black stated.
" Oh fuck again! " Ying Fa glarred at him. " This is bullshit Joe! Why don't you just come out and say it. Who is my family? "
" Look at you tataoo. The answer is there. "
" It's nothing like the freaking Black Wolves! They don't have emerald eyes or an emerald outline! It different altogether. "
Black sighed.
" If that is what you think. "
" Then tell me what to think. " Ying Fa demanded glarring at him. " I'm sick of playing games. I've waited 11 years to know. But hey why not just add another few years to go! Who cares right, just make me sit and ponder for a while longer. You are a sick sardistic bastard and I hate you! " Ying Fa spat and leapt out of the chair and ran out of the room.
Joe watched her go and sighed.
" When is she going to figure it out? " he thought outloud. " Maybe I should just give it a push? "
He picked up his phone and dialed.
"Yeah? "
" Tyyoshi, I have some news that I want to get round. No strings attached. "
" No trace backs got ya. What is it? "
" I want to you to spread the true fact that the Heir to the Black Wolves still roams and has been under their noses for the last few months. "
The other end is silent.
" Tyyoshi? "
" So she wasn't killed as we thought. Are you sure this is fact? "
" Yes. My secretary will send you the check. " and with that he hung up.
Black starred out the window.
" That should stir things up a little. "
Ying Fa rested her arm on the window ledge as she drove down the deserted highway. She sighed for the hundredth time that night. The others were travelling in front of her. She turned off her cd player with annoyance. She checked in the rear view mirror and with a look of determination, she pressed on the accelerator and flicked on the blinker as she started to overtake Shinji.
Shinji shot her a look as she passed him and let her overtake him. Ying Fa shot him a quick glance as she swept back in front of him and then slowed down again, but it didn't settle her restlessness. Then it suddenly clicked. She was feeling restless because she wasn't feeling the wind like she did when she rode. She wanted to feel the wind! She pressed the automatic button and smiled satisfied as all the windows went down.
Then checking Shinji in the rear view mirror she slammed on the accelerator. The car jerked and the tyres screeched and then she shot forward startling Shinji and the others in the car behind as she sped way ahead of them doing nearly 200+ km/h on an 100 strip. Shinji slammed on the accelerator and chased after her wondering what she was doing.
The cell rang and Ying Fa smirked. She picked it up still watching the road and answered it.
" Ever enjoyed the feeling of being free Shinj? " she asked.
" Yeah? " he said slowly. " But what's going on? "
" I'm bored Shinji. I'm sick of starring at white line after white line on this freaking road. God last time I travelled this road I was asleep! I had no idea it was sooo

" That's why we call it travelling Ying Fa. " Shinji replied dryly.
" Hey I just realised something. " Ying Fa said looking around.
" What? "
" I just realised that I have no idea where I'm going. " she said with an anime tear drop.
" That's why I was wondering why you took off. You are supposed to be following me remember? "
" Ok I'm not slowing down Shinji. So you better catch up. "
" Is that a threat? " Shinji asked smiling.
" No, " Ying Fa replied smirking. " That's a challenge. Up for it or are you chicken? "
Ying Fa watched as Shinji sammed on the brakes making the car go faster.
Shinji shot her a look as he held the phone and sped past her.
" Fast enough for you? " came in her phone.
" Not nearly enough. " Ying Fa replied and hung up, pushing her car to go faster.
She laughed. This night wasn't so boring after all.

" How can you tell. I didn't say it straight out. " Ying Fa asked.
" I can pick up from what people don't tell me. " Black shot back.
Ying Fa humphed in her chair and glarred at him.
" Do you remember what else I told you? "
" Yeah find their enemy and - " she stopped. " Kommoji. " she finished looking at him.
Black starred at her.
" Komoji's been the answer all along? I was going to go after that bastard for another reason, but do you mean to tell me that he has something to do with me being taken away from my family? "
Black leaned back in his chair and didn't say anything.
" Oh fuck! " Ying Fa swore and hit the arms of the chair. " Why didn't you just come out and freaking tell me from the god damn beginning?!! "
" I told you it was up to you to prove yourself. " Black stated.
" Oh fuck again! " Ying Fa glarred at him. " This is bullshit Joe! Why don't you just come out and say it. Who is my family? "
" Look at you tataoo. The answer is there. "
" It's nothing like the freaking Black Wolves! They don't have emerald eyes or an emerald outline! It different altogether. "
Black sighed.
" If that is what you think. "
" Then tell me what to think. " Ying Fa demanded glarring at him. " I'm sick of playing games. I've waited 11 years to know. But hey why not just add another few years to go! Who cares right, just make me sit and ponder for a while longer. You are a sick sardistic bastard and I hate you! " Ying Fa spat and leapt out of the chair and ran out of the room.
Joe watched her go and sighed.
" When is she going to figure it out? " he thought outloud. " Maybe I should just give it a push? "
He picked up his phone and dialed.
"Yeah? "
" Tyyoshi, I have some news that I want to get round. No strings attached. "
" No trace backs got ya. What is it? "
" I want to you to spread the true fact that the Heir to the Black Wolves still roams and has been under their noses for the last few months. "
The other end is silent.
" Tyyoshi? "
" So she wasn't killed as we thought. Are you sure this is fact? "
" Yes. My secretary will send you the check. " and with that he hung up.
Black starred out the window.
" That should stir things up a little. "
