AN: Hey! Sorry for not being update in a long time. But anyway… I have for you all here a chapter! Thank You reviewers! All of you! Hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: Again, I say I do not own CCS. Clamp does! The song I used somewhere in the middle of the story does not belong to me either. I was just surfing the net and came across the lyrics. I think it's by Days of Puerile.

Chapter 2: The Initiation

-Sakura's POV-

"Sakura! You're home at last. I thought something happened to you and almost called the police. Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?" Chisato asked frantically.

I laughed. "I'm alright, Chisato. Look, I'm perfectly fine." I said spinning around. I then started to walk in the direction of my bedroom.

"Thank goodness! Where have you been?" Chisato questioned.

"Well… I fainted on the pavement and Mrs Li took me in." I summarized the whole thing. I stopped and turned to look at Chisato when she didn't comment. Her mouth was slightly parted and she had a look of recognition on her face.

"Do you know Mrs Yelan Li?" I asked, suspicious.

"Umm… Well… Kind of, mistress." Chisato stuttered.

Something was not right. Chisato only called me mistress when she was hiding something or when she was nervous.

"Tell me Chisato. What do you know? Did you know that I was a leader of a gang all this while?"

Chisato gasped. "Mistress Li has told you already?"

"Mistress?" I asked.

"Well… she is your mother's best friend. So…" Chisato continued.

"Ok. Ok. I understand. Enough explanations for today. I'm tired. I don't feel like having dinner. Please do not disturb me anymore today." I said, suddenly feeling exhausted and wanting to have a nice warm bath.

"Yes mistress."

-Normal POV-

[The next day]

"Aww shit!" Sakura cursed as she banged her first against the steering wheel. "Where the hell is that place again? Stupid me! Not asking for directions!" she growled.

Sakura saw a forest green Mercedes-Benz SL500 Sport Convertible driving up beside up. The tinted windows of the convertible wound down and she saw who she wanted to see last. Syaoran.

"Are you coming or not? Mother forced me to look for you!" he said impatiently.

Sakura laughed silently. They thought she wouldn't turn up. Well… maybe she did not. But still… she said she would be there. The only thing was that…. she was lost!

"Yea…whatever. Just get moving well ya!" Sakura replied with the same impatience.

Syaoran simply ignored her and stepped on the pedal. The car screeched and zoomed off, leaving Sakura in the dust.

"Cheat!" Sakura murmured before chasing after him.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

-Syaoran's POV-

'I was shocked that she could keep up with me. Although I wasn't really going my fastest, she actually could keep up with me! That's a first!'  I thought as we raced down the streets.

Awhile later, the mansion came into view. I saw the gate and accelerated, heading straight for it. Just before reaching it, I pressed the button in my car and the gate opened. I sped in and screeched to a halt right in front of the house. I quickly pressed the button again to close the gate.

'Ha! Let's see that girl get through' I thought silently with a smirk.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

-Sakura's POV-

'Bah! That jerk. Fancy expecting me to chase after him like that. And that wasn't even wild goose's chase. It was mere child's play! Pathetic!' I thought as I slowed down slightly, seeing the mansion in view.

I was driving at an average speed when I saw the gates of the mansion closing.

"Damn that guy to hell!" I cursed as I sped up. I went extremely fast but still only managed to scrap through. I angrily got out of the car and stomped over to Syaoran.

"What the hell was that for!" I practically screamed. "Let me tell you, if you ever do that again… you are so gonna get it from me!" I shouted and turned on my heels and into the house.

Syaoran chuckled and followed his way in.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

"Hello Sakura!" Yelan smiled as she saw me enter.

"Hi!" I said with sarcastic enthusiasm as Syaoran entered.

"So… as a born leader. You don't have to do anything special to get initiated. Just get our traditional wolf tattoo and you are in! As simple as that!" Yelan smiled. "A black tattoo signifies leadership. Silver wolves are second in line which is made mostly out of relatives and close friends. Grey wolves are out fellow people. I'm sure you'll get along well with all of them." Yelan added. "Syaoran, bring her to get her tattoo."

"No thanks Yelan." I immediately decline. Syaoran didn't say anything, he just left the room. "But…" I began.

"For your safety, Sakura. I don't want you to get her." Yelan said motherly.

"But I can take care of myself." I insisted. I suddenly remember that I had lied to them saying I didn't know how to fight and stuff. "On second thought… I'll let Syaoran accompany me." I reluctantly said and went after Syaoran.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

-Normal POV-

[In the car]

Syaoran was speeding down the road at a dangerous speed. He turned to Sakura, expecting her to be scared and on the verge of fainting. Unexpectedly, she was just staring out of the passenger seat's window and drowning herself in her own thoughts.

In fact, Sakura was enjoying the ride. She hadn't sped down the road like that in awhile and it felt good. She was thinking about how her life had changed since her parent's death and about her new life.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

-Sakura's POV-

[At the tattoo shop]

"Sakura, you kno-" Syaoran was cut off.

"Who gave you the permission to call me Sakura?" I shouted.

"I did." He said carelessly. I ignored him and entered the shop.

"Hi Syaoran!" a guy in his early twenties said. "And who do you have here… nice catch!" he whistled.

"Shut the hell up!" I shouted. "Could I just get it over and done with so I can leave." I said, clearly annoyed.

"Feisty also…" the guy added. I shot him a death glare and he quickly closed his mouth.

"Joe, black wolf for her. Lower back." Syaoran said stiffly.

"Hop on lady!" Joe said, patting the chair seat.

I growled and got on the chair. I lifted up my lower part of my shirt and relaxed on the chair. Joe began with working with his needles. I nearly screamed as the needle pierced into my skin. But I knew not to show my weak side, especially to a certain someone.

Syaoran who seemed unfazed lazily sat on another chair and closed his eyes. "You know that by doing this, you are getting yourself into lots of trouble and danger."

"So?" I shrugged carelessly. "What's the big deal?" I asked. "If I am to die, then let it be. Who cares anyway?"

"Fine. Suit yourself." Syaoran said coldly.

Half way through the tattoo, my back was starting to feel sore. I hadn't flinched or screamed yet.

"Strong eh?" Joe asked, stopping momentarily. "Being able to endure the pain of this is not easy."

"Yar… Yar… Just finish it okay! You've taken long enough." I tapped my foot impatiently.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

[About an hour later]

"Done!" Joe said, obviously proud of himself. "Second time I did this black wolf of yours. First one's Syaoran. He also didn't flinch once!"

I lifted myself from the chair and rolled down my shirt. I back was feeling slightly sore but nothing big to worry about. I briskly got up and walked out. Awhile later, Syaoran came out too, mumbling incoherent stuff under his breath.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

[At the car]

I was walking ahead of Syaoran. My back was sore and I wanted to have some fun. Why not do some speeding? I sure have not done that in quite awhile. I walked towards the driver's side and waited for Syaoran. When he neared, I put my hand out and said, "Keys."

"What!" Syaoran half screamed. "Nuh uh. Not my car. You want to, go and damage your own car."

"Just hand me the keys, damn it!" I quickly advanced towards him and snatched the keys away from him. "Hah!" I walked back to the driver's side and got in. I revved the engine and turned on the radio.

My guilty conscious has begun to rack havoc.

This way of life is unacceptable.

 My guilty conscious has tainted my life I need to change the way I live my life.

"Will you just get in the car?" I said frustrated.


People tell me everyday to change the way I am.

 I look them in the eye and tell them who I am.

 None of your business that's what I tell them they don't believe me.

Syaoran did not make a sound; he just leisurely walked to the passenger side and got in.

I lied to them, and lied to everyone else,

I mislead you and found myself with a guilty mind once again.

"Ah! Finally!" I said with over-exaggerated drama.

Time to tell the world, time to lift this burden,

I need to live again, Live the way I used to.

I used to live a life, full of freedom and liberty

Now I live a life of deceit and mistrust.

The song ended and the rest of the ride was peaceful without Sakura and Syaoran arguing with each other.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

[Back at Syaoran's mansion]

"Hey Auntie Yelan. Where is Syaoran?" Meilin asked. Meilin was sixteen like Sakura. She had straight black hair which she usually tied in two buns. Her eyes were a fiery red.

"Syaoran should be back soon. He just went to accompany our dear friend to get a black wolf tattoo." Yelan answered.

"Oh ok..." Meilin sighed. 'Black wolf tattoo' "Wait! Did you just say black wolf tattoo?"

"Yes." Yelan replied. At that moment, the sound of screeching tyres outside the mansion was heard. "They're back. Meilin, I would like you to meet our other leader."

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

[With Sakura and Syaoran]

-Sakura's POV-

"Ah! That was great!" I said, cracking my knuckles. "Another round?" I asked the silent Syaoran.

"Not now. We've got other business to do. They must have found out that you are the other leader." He shook his head in frustration and got out of the car.

In actually fact, on the way back, we met a couple of bikers with guns. The bikers were chasing us. And what's more, I was driving, not Syaoran. Of course he was shocked at how well I could drive.

"Why in such a bad mood?" I asked. "I didn't really damage your 'precious' car." I said sarcastically.

"What! You got it scratched by the bullet." He retorted.

"Pardon me! I saved you for crying out loud!" I shouted. "If I did not make that turn, that bullet might have gotten you. Care too much for you car then yourself? Big deal! I shall send it to be repaired for you, happy?" I said, on the verge of screaming.

Syaoran sighed and shook his head before heading into the mansion. That was when I noticed a new comer standing next to Yelan who was at the front door. I walked up to them and said in a monotone voice, "Hello. Nice to meet you. Names Sakura. Good day." With that, I walked into the mansion.

"Didn't catch them at a good time, I guess." Meilin said. "I like her! At least she has the guts to shout back at Syaoran. I think we are going to be good acquaintances." She said smiling.



Phew! Chapter completed. Finally! I hope its good enough. I know I know. There is not action yet. But wait… its coming soon. I hope. Depends on how my story goes and how long I want it to be. Anyway, I will tell you more about what happened during the trip back to the mansion from the tattoo shop in the next chapter where Eriol and Tomoyo will come in. Keep on checking for dates when I will update. Thanks for all the reviews!
