Chapter Twelve

Back for more punishment? - Part 1

"Did I hear wrongly?" Touya asked in shocked, "Yuki, you're CIA agent?"

"You heard me, Touya," Yukito smiled as he looked at the rest of the group who were also in shock. He was holding his gun tight. This was the first time he got himself into this kind of trouble and he hoped it will be the last. Should he contact the HQ? Or should he not? This is getting out of his mission. Yes, his mission. His mission was to find out where the Kinomoto lives. This was the day he was going to end his mission but these people just bugged in. Was the mission the only reason why he wanted to help Touya? Was it true?

"Listen Yuki, whether or not you are a CIA, just get yourself out of here," Touya told him.

"You are asking me to leave you with them? Are you crazy Touya?" Yukito shouted.

"Grab him!" The man commanded the rest of the team to attack Yukito. Yukito looked at the guns pointing at him. Fear had taken over him. Yes, fear, something he thought he was not afraid after all these time he had been in the CIA.

'You are going to die here if you don't do something soon, Yukito,' He thought to himself.

Just then, an alerting gun shot sounded through the area. Yukito closed his eyes waiting for the pain to arrive, but no pain came. He opened his eyes to find Touya shielding him.

"Touya!" Yukito shouted.

"You moron," Touya shouted, "You are just standing there waiting for death?" His left shoulder was injured due to the gun shot. Blood was flowing down his arm. The pain was there, but Touya chose to ignore it.

"Mr. Kinomoto, that was something unexpected from you," the man told him.

"You were trying to kill my friend," Touya leered, "Hope you realize."

"Yes, I realize that," the man replied.

"Touya..." Before Yukito can say anymore thing, Touya cut in.

"Explain to me everything later, Yuki," Touya whispered, "Just give me some time." Touya was still calculating the amount of people and forming a plan. He was going to get the both of them out of this mess.

Yukito nodded his head and replied, "Not a single problem." What did he just say? He was going to tell Touya everything?! Isn't it means he is letting out the secret? What were you thinking?

"Give me 10 seconds," Touya told Yukito as he dashed towards the team.

"Kill them," the man shouted as soon as he spotted Touya's action. But it was all too late; Touya had finished the first few guys and was moving very fast towards the rest of the members. The members were terrified by the profession of the Touya. Swift, quick and clean. (For those who read the first chapter, they should know. The rules set by the Kinomoto.) In spilt seconds, Touya was already in front of the man-in-charge.

"Care to tell me who sent you here?" Touya threatened the guy.

"You...think...I...will...tell...you..." The man shivered in fear. This guy is dangerous.

"Oh, I think you want punishment don't you?" Touya smirked. The guy felt Touya grabbed his collar and lifted him up.

"Now, now, should I finish you by cutting your throat once and for all or should I torture you further more?" Touya asked playfully.

"Don't kill me; I'm just working for others. I still have a family of four to pay for..." the guy pleased.

"Then tell me who sent you," Touya shouted.

"Okay, okay," the guy shouted, "His name is Nakamora Yoshi." (Is there someone by this name? If there is, I truly apologize for using his name.)

"Nakamora?" Yukito asked, "The boss of Nakamora shipping company?"

"You know him, Yuki?" Touya asked, still unwilling to release the guy.

"Yeah, he was one of the people the CIA suspect working for the terrorist," Yukito replied.

"You got to tell me everything, Yuki. What does the CIA wants from my family?" Touya told him as he finally let the guy off and ran off.

"I'm not sure, Touya, but I also think this is not a place to discuss about this don't you think so?" Yukito replied as he kept his gun.

"Oh well," Touya looked at the mess he made and sighed, "You are right. Let's go to my house. We can chat over there."

Sakura's side

"The name, Sakura-chan, is Stanley."

"Stanley?" Sakura asked. The name was familiar to her. Was it because she heard it before from Zetsu? No... She heard of the name before that... A long time ago when she was small.

"Sakura?" Syaoran asked as he walked over to Sakura.

"You heard of his name right Sakura? The guy whose wife was killed by you," Zetsu told her.

"Wife?" Sakura wondered.

"For your information, Sakura-chan, you killed my mother, Yamano," Zetsu shouted angrily.

"Yamano?" Sakura asked in faint voice, "Yamano Kashiko?"

"Yes! That's my mother!!" Zetsu shouted.

"The lady I killed when I tried to save Yang," Sakura whispered even softer. The scene was blur. All she saw was herself moving very fast towards the lady and everything around her turned red. Everything she saw was red. Even herself. She could taste the blood. It wasn't her's. It was from the lady. She remembered the lady whispered a name.

"You killed my mother, I will never forgive you," Zetsu replied.

"Your real name isn't Zetsu. It's Ian isn't it?" Sakura asked.

"What?" Zetsu asked, half-shocked.

"Your real name is Ian isn't it?" Sakura asked again. Zetsu looked at her, her voice was rather gentle than the one before. The voice he knew the sweet voice of her's.

"Yes, that's my name," Ian replied.

"Go, Ian," Sakura told him as she closed her eyes, "I no longer wish to hurt you deeper. You deserved a better girl than me."

"Sakura-chan," Ian felt a sudden pain. A pain he never had before. He didn't really hate Sakura, even thought he knew she was the one who killed his mother. He thought he could just forget about the truth and loved her. But everything changed. She had changed. Changed from the one he knew. He never knew why until his father told him about the Li's. Yes, he learnt the truth from his father only the night before, about Li's father. He was so confused. He never wanted to hurt Sakura. He wished all of these never happened.

"Don't let me see you again, Ian," Syaoran told him, "I make sure I will kill you."

Ian got to his feet and looked at Sakura for the last time. Sakura wasn't looking at him, her face looked sad.

"Sakura-chan, let's hope our path doesn't meet again. If I had hurt you deep inside, then forgive and forget about me," Ian said painfully, as he turned and ran off.

"Ian, I'm sorry," Sakura whispered for the last time before everything in front of her turned black.

"Sakura!" Syaoran shouted as he managed to catch Sakura in his arm. Syaoran looked over at her. She wasn't injured and she was sleeping in his arms. Now what? He didn't even know where she lived. Carrying her on his back, he walked off.

'Damn, she is heavy.' Syaoran thought. As he moved out of the dark alley, he wondered where to go. His house? Maybe not. Imagine Eriol asking a whole lot of questions, his worst nightmare.

"Sakura-chan, Li-kun!" A voice called out to them. Syaoran looked over; there he saw Tomoyo and Eriol together.

"Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo shouted as she dashed forward.

"Don't worry, Daidouji-san, she just fainted," Syaoran replied.

"See you are okay," Eriol told him.

"Seems to me you are trying to curse me dead," Syaoran made a face as he said.

"I hope I did," Eriol stick his tongue out.

"Okay, boys, stop your agruement," Tomoyo told off the two of them, "Let's get Sakura back home." As she asked them to follow her.

"How come you are with Tomoyo?" Syaoran asked.

"I know about everything," Eriol told him. Syaoran stared at him.

"You know?" Syaoran asked.

"Sakura's a Kinomoto," Eriol told him, "I told Tomoyo about us."

"You what?!" Syaoran shouted.

"It's okay," Eriol told him, "Tomoyo's a relative of the Kinomoto. I never told her that part on you. I left it out. I can't imagine her face if she hears it."

"Okay...Does that's mean she is also an assassin?" Syaoran asked.

"Yep," Eriol replied.

"This is just great," Syaoran replied.

"Come on guys!!" Tomoyo shouted.

"Coming Honey!!" Eriol shouted while Syaoran made a face.

Sorry guys, I broke the story up again. When I looked at my plot, it goes the whole world round. I'm sorry about that. Hope you guys wouldn't mind.

Anyway, hope you guys enjoy the story.

P.S. Those who want to know what Eriol told Tomoyo. I might write in as a special edition.
