Chapy 2 weeeeehhhhh!!!
A small hand softly placed itself on a firm form. Stiffening at the touch the figure turned swiftly to face the owner of the delicate hand. Slowly the stone face melted as it met a familiar worried one.
"What Meiling?"
"Daijobu Xiao Lang?"
"I'm fine."
"No your not! When you just stand there looking out the window something is up."
Xiao Lang slowly turned his back towards the window. Sighing deeply he ran his hand through his chocolate locks. Something was bothering him, his cousin could always tell. She had knack for reading him. What he sensed in the atmosphere was a feeling so dark that it was hard to breathe. Amber scanned the crowd below him. People danced around like fools their bodies were bouncing around like rag dolls, while others made out shamelessly in the shadows or just in the plain of day. All of them were probably too drunk to even start to comprehend what was soon to go down.
"Something's going to happen tonight Meiling, I feel it. The dark feeling in the atmosphere is so thick tonight. Keiji-sama feels it too. It is much sooner then we thought, those Serpents are getting vicious and brave."
"Why didn't either of you say anything during the conference?! We could have prepared some men and be ready for anything those assholes throw at us!"
"It was too early to know for sure. Besides Keiji placed a few on guard already."
"Should I warn the others now?"
"Yes, I think it is about time."
With a stiff nod Meiling walked out the door knowing tonight they would lose many friends. She loved the life she lived but it was nights like these were she feared it. Meiling could only hope for the best and to find comfort in the night's darkness. Glancing one last time at the closed room that contained her cousin Meiling continued walking.
Scanning the crowd again Xiao Lang stopped on the honey-brown haired girl that had been drawing his attention the entire night. She had distracted him all day. Something about her demeanor when Eriol, Kenome and he had run into her early in the day had caught his attention. So innocent but at the same time held such vigor. Even with the danger in the air she seemed like a light at the end of this treacherous tunnel. He scowled himself for letting this little girl start to get to him. He needed to focus tonight and she was keeping that from him. Curse her.
"Who are you?"
"Do you know where Sakura is?"
Chiharu stopped dancing and faced Naoko who looked just as clueless with a shrug the two started to search around trying to find their friend. The thick crowd created a problem. As quick as possible, which wasn't fast at all, the two tried to make their way out of the mesh of people. They were almost out and had caught a brief sight of their emerald-eyed friend when the entire club was thrown into frenzy.
A sudden sound broke through the club. Those who recognized the sound started to panic, while the others just froze. Soon more followed sending the whole club into chaos. Screams and gunshots rang through the building.
Pushing and shoving as people tried to get the exit made the club into a giant mosh pit. Naoko had been thrown to the ground by the horror filled people. She tried to get up but a pain in her leg was stopping her. Tears started to rise in her brown eyes, along with the fear of her life ending. Sakura had been right a club was not a good idea. Where was she and where was Chiharu? Where they all going to die? A shadow fell over Naoko; a rough yank felt as if it had pulled her arm out of place as well as pulled her off the ground. This was it, she cried silently as the click of a gun loading was heard.
Fear washed over the small frame. Her emerald eyes stared straight in the blackness of a nine mm barrel. The world of chaos and confusion melted away and all that seemed real was the gun and the shooter.
"Well, well, well who do we have here? You look too innocent to be at a club like this. But the innocent ones are the most fun."
A scream built up in her tiny throat but she couldn't find the strength to push it out. The man's hand had grabbed her arm and forcefully pulled her into his stone chest. The 9mm was no longer in front of her staring her down but placed strongly against her temple. A wave of dizziness fell over her, her head started to pound against the hard metal. Silently she begged for the man to let her go before she passed out.
"Tell me where your leader is. TELL ME NOW!!!!!!"
Scared and confused the girl simply withered in pain as the barrel was shoved harder into her head. The man's yelling had not helped her nausea nor the gun to her head. Finally finding her voice she managed a simple question amazed at the fact she didn't puke.
"Wha...What lea...der?"
"WO..."
The answer to her question was cut short by aloud and swift, Thunk. Just as suddenly as the gun was on her was as suddenly as it left. All the emerald eyes saw before losing consciousness was amber eyes that seemed to hold worry in them as they stared back.
Meiling hurried towards where she had seen her cousin run off. Keiji had warned the few that were still on the top floor that the Serpents had placed bombs around the club. Xiao Lang had gone down to the bottom long before this and needed to be informed, because leave it to him to be to distracted in killing some Serpent bastard to hear the warnings from fellow Wolves. After beating the few Serpents who dared to get in her way Meiling made it to the area of the club her cousin had gone. Something however distracted him. A bleach blonde figure was aiming her gun at Xiao Lang's back.
" SYAORAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Meiling watched in horror as her dear cousin slump over from the bullet that entered his back. It had seemed so slow and yet there was still nothing she could do. With anger in her crimson eyes she ran over to the all too familiar woman who had pulled the trigger, only to find her standing there laughing.
"BITCH! YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT GIOLLA!!!"
"Haha well now looks like the great Xiao Lang is no more and now needs his pesky cousin to avenge him. How pathetic."
Enraged Meiling's closed fist flew at Giolla's jaw. A sickening crunch was heard as it came in contact with its target. Giolla's bleached hair flew all over as her body fell to the ground from the force of the impact. Getting back up and swiftly wiping the blood from her mouth Giolla ran towards the black haired girl aiming at her stomach. Blocking it Meiling used the force of Giolla's punch to her advantage throwing her back again. More kicks and punches were exchange, both held their own in the fight. Blood flew to the floor from Giolla's last punch. Meiling slumped over on the ground spitting up her blood. A dark shadow suddenly appeared behind Giolla before her entire body fell from the hasty swipe.
"Meiling daijobu?"
"Xiao... Xiao Lang your okay"
"Yah that bitch doesn't know how to aim, the bullet just barely hit my shoulder. Beside you don't think I would go down that easy ne?"
"Then why did you fall over like that? It looked as if it had hit you full forced?!"
Xiao Lang glanced over at the limp figure he had set down out of view. He had been trying to look at the bruise on the side of her head from the gun. Chuckling softly Xiao Lang helped his feisty cousin up as she continued to try and pry the answer out of him. Chewing him out about how it wasn't funny?
"You idiots think you were finished with me?"
Giolla rose from the spot she had collapsed. Suddenly a loud voice rang out calling a retreat.
"You two were lucky this time, but I swear I'll have both of your blood on my hands next time!"
The two simply stared at the girl as she ran off towards an exit. Shifting a little Xiao Lang set Meiling against the counter. After signaling to someone Xiao Lang started to walk off.
"HEY WHERE THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR GOING?!?! LEAVING ME..."
Meiling stopped in mid-sentence when she noticed that he had bent over something. Upon closer examination she saw beautiful golden brown hair fall to the side and long feminine legs.
"Xiao Lang, who is she?"Amber eyes close, Xiao Lang let out a breath he had been holding for what seemed like eternity. Who was this girl, that was his question as well. "I'm not quite sure but she was being tormented by a filthy snake then she collapsed. Come on let's get out of here""Haha uhh yah in all the excitement I forgot that this place might blow sky high soon."
"Shit let's run then."
"Are you okay?"
Wait something didn't connect. She had heard the bang and the scream, which she swore was hers. She should be dead by now. Slowly she opened her eyes and met cool blue ones staring at her. Confused she looked past him and saw three bodies lying lifelessly on the floor encased in an ocean of blood. A scream emerged again. They were dead, they were dead!!! Naoko slammed her eyes shut and gripped the nearest thing to her, which happed to be the man from before.
The man stared at the girl trying her best to hide herself in his jacket. While it was somewhat amusing, the fear she was obviously going through made him feel completely helpless.
"Uhh come on now your safe, uhh please let go..."
"They're dead they're dead, I'm going to die.
The girl's murmurs were so light that the man almost didn't catch them. He was going to comfort her some more when a fellow wolf ran by yelling something.
"Teni-san we need to go the club is goin ta blow."
"Thanks Gan. Come on lil' lady if we don't move we might go with the building."
Without waiting for the browned haired girls reply Teni-san picked her up and started to run towards the exit.
Bright lights. Really bright lights! When had she gotten new lights in her room? She needed new ones not so bright. Turning her head to the side to see what time it was gave her a large shock. Where was her alarm clock? She heard its annoying beeping so where was it? Quickly turning her head to the other side to see if she had moved it turned out to be a mistake. A jolting pain ran through her body and soon her head was throbbing.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you."
"Ow sooo now you tell me. OWWWW!"
Sakura tried to sit up but rapidly gave up that idea when the pain only increased. She couldn't remember what happened last night after that creep in the club was bugging her.
"You just need some rest. That gun left quite a mark."
GUN! Had she heard right? Ignoring the pain Sakura sat up and stared into a pair of deep blue eyes that were magnified slightly by the glasses around them. What had happened to her and where was she? Why did he looked familiar?!
"You probably don't remember much from that night do you?"
Sakura shook her head slowly and then quickly regretted it. The man chuckled.
" Your ok now so there isn't any need to worry. How are you feeling?"
"Like someone decided to drop a brick on my head then run it over with their semi truck. Umm do I know you?"
"That's what I figured. If Xiao Lang hadn't brought you in then what ever drug was slipped into your drink could have done much worse to you. And no not really, you just kind of barreled into me."
The man chuckled All the information swam inside Sakura's pounding head before some recognition began to set in. The gun barrel flashed before her eyes then the pain of the cold metal against her skull and then... and then those eyes. Those amber eyes that seemed to hold such worry and care for her. The sudden entrance of someone threw off her thoughts.
"Ahh Meiling-Chan I was wondering when you would be here, look our sleeping beauty has awakened finally."
"Ah Li... Li- san!!"
"Ehh do I know you??""N... no you go to Siyuki Private High School though don't you?"Meiling was thrown off by this comment. She did go there but how would this girl know that?"Who are you? And how do you know that?"
"I am Kinomoto Sakura, I go there too."
Two pairs of eyes widen. Had they just heard her right? Had this girl said her name was. Kinomoto?
"Rika any word yet?"
A young girl looked up at her friend. Her skin was paler then normal, and her eyes looked as if they had been crying for a long period of time. Rika shook her head guiltily. Chiharu looked grimily down at her feet before trying to comfort the distressed girl. Rika felt empty inside nothing matter anymore. It was her fault that two of her best friends were probably dead. Neither had been home since they had gone to the club, three days ago. She was marked with the blood of Naoko and Sakura, her best friends almost sisters
