Chapter Fifteen

When everything comes to reality

"As a last wish from my best friend, Yang."

"Are you sure, Mr. Kinomoto?" Alex asked, "You will be hate by the members of the dark world."

"Our world is falling," Fujitaka explained, "They no longer can be controlled by the few of us of the higher ranks. We are getting old, they are still young. Young and mischievous. Wanting power and money. Most of us had a hard time controlling them. For example, Nicky. I guess some of you heard the name. He is one of the young ones that seeks power."

"Nicky Molly. We are suspecting him for the smuggling of military weapons," Alex replied. The rest listened attentively at the conversation.

"You mean the mini-co-sensor," Fujitaka smiled.

"That's still under experiment," Alex replied.

"Apparently they finish the experiment for you, Mr. Alex," Fujitaka replied, "It was very successful."

"What's a mini-co-sensor?" Sakura asked. She never heard of it before.

"I think I have one with me," Touya replied as he took a small keychain- like thing out of his pocket, "I guess it's this you are saying."

"How did you?" Alex stared at the item Touya was holding.

"It's the latest version," Fujitaka looked at Alex's amazing expression, "Added a free radio too."

"Radio?" Alex made a face at Fujitaka who busted into laughter.

"They thought it would be safer to add something normal in it to prevent the Police to suspect," Fujitaka explained. Every one of them sweatdropped.

"Oto-san!" Sakura laughed, "This is not funny!"

"Just telling the truth Sakura-chan," Fujitaka told her seriously, "This is not a very optional way of doing these things."

"I think I will be lost in this conversation," Sakura told them. But really, she didn't want to hear anymore of these things. She only wants to kill the person that killed Yang. That's all she wants. She cared less of the dark world outside.

"Let's go to your room then, Sakura-chan," Tomoyo said as she got up from the seat.

"Yeah, I think we will leave the conversation to you," Eriol replied getting up as soon as Tomoyo got up.

"I will go with you Sakura," Syaoran said.

"Let's go then, Syaoran," Sakura smiled at him. Syaoran, Eriol and Tomoyo left with Sakura.

"I think they need a break from everything," Nadeshiko replied, "They met up with too many things within a few days."

"Yes, quite a few indeed," Yelan replied, "Things are going went out of control. It's time we sort things out."

"You are right," Fujitaka sighed, "We need a plan. Things have to stop."

Sakura's side

Back in Sakura's room, Sakura, Tomoyo, Eriol and Syaoran sat down on Sakura's mammoth bed.

"So, Sakura-chan, care to tell me what happen yesterday?" Tomoyo asked. Sakura nodded her head and told her the story, including Zetsu.

"Zetsu's really name is Ian?" Tomoyo asked.

"Yeah, I heard the name when I killed his mother," Sakura told her sadly.

"Ian..." Eriol repeated the name, "I think I heard that name before somewhere."

"Really?!" Tomoyo and Sakura shouted at the same time. Syaoran and Eriol sweatdropped at the same time.

"Relax, girls, don't stress me up," Eriol replied, "Give me a moment. Is it from the files? Or is it from the news? No, no... Can't be... I remember looking at it from something..." Everyone was eyeing at Eriol now and he didn't feel comfortable at all.

"Guys, can you don't look at me like I'm a weird species of creatures?" Eriol asked.

"Come on, Eriol," Tomoyo asked, "Where did you see his name?"

"Oh...well..." Eriol looked over and spotted the computer in Sakura's room.

'Computer...internet...blacklist..." Eriol wondered, 'Blacklist? BLACKLIST?!'

"The BLACKLIST!!" Eriol shouted, "I saw his name in the blacklist."

"In the what?!" Sakura almost shouted at high pitch.

"I remembered. The night before I was trying to get information on you, the Kinomoto, I came across the name, Ian. He is a famous dueler's son. Although I never really read the information through," Eriol replied.

"His father is Stanley," Sakura said the name softly.

"Stantley? The weapon dueler?" Eriol asked.

"You know that guy?" Syaoran asked.

"Well, I met him several times in fact. Quite a nice guy, Stanley that is. Pity his wife died when his business was at a highest peck," Eriol was silenced by Syaoran's stern eyes. Eriol looked at Sakura who was looking at the floor. She killed Ian's mother. She was the one. She felt so wanting to kill herself.

"Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo asked in a gentle tone, "What's wrong?"

"Let's get back to our main objective now," Syaoran broke the intense aura, "I need a plan to kill Stanley."

"And why do you have to kill him?" Eriol asked, "He never do anything to you."

"He did alright!" Syaoran shouted, "He killed my father 8 years ago for heaven sake. I'm not letting him off that easy."

"He what?!" Tomoyo and Eriol shouted at the same time.

"You heard me," Syaoran made a disapprover face. Sakura sat quietly, looking at Syaoran. She wasn't just looking; she was in fact staring at him. She never had such affection on Ian before. She only feels it on Syaoran. Did she really love him that much? If she really loves him, why is she allowing him to risk his life to kill Stanley in fact she knew who Stanley was already? She didn't understand. One wrong step he took will get himself killed, she didn't want him to die like Yang.

"Syaoran, I'm going after Stanley," Sakura's voice immobilized them.

"What did you just say?" Syaoran thought he heard wrongly. She said 'I' didn't she?

"I'm serious, Syaoran. I don't wish to loss you," Sakura replied.

"Neither do I, Sakura," Syaoran looked at her sadly, "I don't wish to loss you as well."

"Neither of you are going to take your revenge, and that's final," Eriol shouted.

"And who do you think you are to stop us?" Syaoran shouted.

"Syaoran, you don't know who you are dueling with," Eriol told him, "The both of you. Cool yourself down. I will help. And I know Tomoyo, here, will want to help as well."

"You can't," Sakura told her friend, "It's not your problem."

"I'm your friend, Sakura-chan. I'm not allowing my friend to risk themselves killed in a game that is so dangerous. We need a plan. We need to know who we are dueling with. And we need the weapons we need," Tomoyo told Sakura. Sakura looked at her friend and Eriol and then Syaoran who nodded his head. Tomoyo was right they have to have a plan and weapons. They can't just go in and kill; they would be killed if they do so.

"Alright, I will tell you who we are dueling with," Sakura sighed.

"You know?" Eriol asked.

"I know the name from Yang, he told me when I was small," Sakura told them, Syaoran brighten a little upon hearing his father name mentioned, "Stanley is the worst black market dueler he ever met. (The 'he' means Yang.) Unlike what you say, Hiiragizawa-kun, he kills to get what he wants and whoever gets in his way. That includes my father." Sakura paused for a while before she continued, "I was caught up in the incident. It wasn't very clear to me. I was caught by his members and brought to Yang and my father." Sakura looked over to Syaoran, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you early, Syaoran. I'm afraid that you might hate me. But it's time to tell you. Since I might not..."

"Don't say that, Sakura," Syaoran insisted.

"Your father died trying to save me," Sakura cried.

"I already guess that," Syaoran sighed as he took Sakura for a hug. Eriol and Tomoyo looked at each other and back at the love bird. They must really love each other.

"I'm sorry," Sakura sobbed.

"It's okay, Sakura, I don't blame you," Syaoran told her softly and gave her peek, "I love you no matter what, Sakura, just promise don't get yourself kill in all case. Promise you will stay with me, that's all I want from you."

"I will, Syaoran," Sakura hugged Sayoran tighter, "I will."

"I love too much Syaoran, now I know. I love you with all my life."

Another chapter... I thought I almost forgot about this story. How could I? I have too much ideas jam in my brain. So give me some time to generate them out.

Just to answer to Wolf Jade, actually I don't live in a small area of a big continent neither am I living in the country you listed. But I don't mind. Cause I say the word 'guess'. For actual fact, I'm an Asian. Hope you would mind. I don't force people to guess where I live though.

Just adding more hint to the question. (For those who don't know, here's the question: Could you guess where I live? I'm helping my friend to do a survey.)

1.) It's in Asia.

2.)It's the smallest country around.

3.)Less than a dot on the world map.

4.)It's not a state in a country.

5.)It's a country alone.

Should be enough for those who want to guess. Try it.

I haven't start plotting the next chapter. So please wait for a while. Hope you don't mind.
