Chapter 1: Failed Welcome

Headquarters, Tokyo

Silence fell as a group of people consisted of some men and a few women almost ended the subject they were discussing in their regular meeting.

"So we're gonna get rid of them, what, soon?" a man across the table asked, breaking the silence. The leader, who was sitting at the very end of the huge table surrounded by people answered, "it's gonna take long time you see, and some experts should do this one, as I've heard they're having new leader from today, and that's why we're starting the mission as from today, but..." before he had finished, he was cut by a woman sitting not far from him

"She's no longer the leader?"

"No, Tomoe, her son, their only heir, he's of age now," he said. "Yep, I heard she was only taking her son's position until he's ready, so I guess he is?" a man beside Tomoe said. The leader nodded, and then some voices of whispers were heard. The woman in her late twenty called Tomoe cursed. "What Tomoe?"

"Urgh, that woman, she should pay..." she stated furiously.

"Oh they all owed us lots," the leader said. "But she's no longer the leader and besides, Tomoe, it's not you who'll go this time."

"What? Yoshi, onegai, I'm one of expert..." she said, but was cut, "you are, we all know, but not you, I'm sorry."

"So who?" a young man in his early twenty who'd been paying all his attention to the conversation asked.

"Oh, they're youngs, and quite famous among us, even though hardly ever seen as they've been growing up and do their jobs out there..." he stopped a while looking at everyone's expression. "Well, they'll arrive tomorrow, we should welcome them."

Tokyo's International Airport

"Father, who exactly are these people?" the father looked at his curious son who'd been asking the same question all the time after the day before meeting.

"You'll see soon, Yukito. It's some people who we haven't seen for such long time. I wonder how they look now..." he said. He saw a plane coming through the glass window "Got in your positions?" he then asked to the microphone that was set on under his collar.

"Yes sir," came the answer through his earphone. "Ladies and gentlemen, let's enjoy the welcome show," he said to rest of the members who stood behind him watching through the glass window out there, waiting for the particular plane to land curiously.

"The plane's landing."

"We're moving in a minute sir"

"Okay, NOW," the ordered man half-shouted to his microphone under his collar.

The people behind the glass window moved closer to watch what was going to happen. The expected plane had landed and the passengers slowly got out. They could see their men moved into the plane.

Some of the plane passengers who were getting their belongings wondered what were those people wearing black suits and masks doing in the plane.

The leader who was still watching through the glass window frowned. "Tetsu, where the heck are they?" he shouted furiously to his mic. No answer.

"Tetsu, speak," he commanded.

"Ah, sir, we haven't found them," came Tetsu's voice. "What you idiot?" Yoshi asked more furiously. "Sir, I don't think they're on the plane."

With that, he moved out without further thinking. Yukito followed behind him. Also some other members. He walked to the door that led out and before he and his fellow reached it came Tetsu's voice, "Sir, we saw two hang gliders coming on our direction!" he shouted.

On the air, 100 feet above the airport

"WOOOHOOOO.... This SO great, we should do this many times, Sakura!" Tomoyo said.

"Hai, Tomoyo, so right, Yoshi must be furious by now," Sakura laughed, followed by Tomoyo.

"Oh, I bet he put on something to welcome us, and knowing we're not on the pla-hahahah.."she couldn't even continue her words for she was lost in laughter. Sakura laughed harder.

"Stop Tomoyo, we're getting there, we can continue the laughs later, seeing their faces," Sakura said between laughter. She got hold on her hang gilders tighter, then slowly lowered.

Land, airport

"No idea, sir, really, their names were in the plane, they even got in, the crew said, but they just gone..."

"Hah, whatever, just get position of surrounding them when they land. We gotta finish."

"Hai, sir!"

On the air, about 10 feet

"Okay, ready?"

"Always"

Land, airport

They were getting closer and closer to the land. There was nothing on the land around where the plane was parked. They finally landed, Tomoyo first, then Sakura. Not a minute later they were surrounded by people with black suits and masks pointing guns at them.

"So, 10 and 10?" Tomoyo whispered to Sakura. They were still pretending they didn't know or even care. "umm, 8 and 7?" Sakura replied.

"Where'd the 5 go? Me 8!" said Tomoyo. "No, me," Sakura said. "Oh, it's too obvious now isn't it?" she spoke louder so all the people surrounding them could hear.

"Hahah, surprised we weren't there?" asked Tomoyo. "What y'all still doin?" she folded her arms, they're now backing each other, looking at the people in black suits surrounding them in circle.

"We start, we finish," was all the man they thought was the group commander said before he commanded his men to make the first move. But before they move even further, Sakura and Tomoyo were faster. They moved on the speed of light that the men couldn't even see. They stopped right on the place they were standing before the movement.

The men looked at them in wonder. They waited something to happen but then realized that their guns were out of their hands and were on the land about a meter from them. Some of them shocked looking at their hands. "Hey, I did 10," whispered Tomoyo. "So did I," Sakura replied, "the 5 went back."

Some of the men had their hands cut a little. Tomoyo held her double stick to her right hand. And Sakura had her small knives in each hand. Tomoyo held out her double stick and fetched two guns on the land one by one not far from her. Then handed the gun one to Sakura. Sakura took it and walked closer to the man they thought was the commander who was then looked shocked. Sakura pointed the gun to the man's head. She then took off the microphone that was set on under his collar, with the gun still pointed to his head.

"The show's over, come out wherever you are, Yoshi," Sakura spoke to it. Tomoyo who was still in the center of the circle spotted the men behind her.

Yoshi took off his mask, so did some men around him. He laughed seeing the look on Sakura and Tomoyo's faces.

"Well well, girls, grown beautifully I see..." he said. Tomoyo laughed at the expressions the rest of the men set on their faces.

Sakura smiled and gave the gun back to Tetsu, who she had been pointing it to, and also his mic. "Long time no see, Yoshi, oh stop it, Tomoyo," she said walking pass the hard laughingly Tomoyo to Yoshi.

"Said I could continue the laugh," she said. "It's no longer funny, he was one of the 5 that got back, we should've known," Sakura replied, walking closer to Yoshi.

Yoshi gave a smile back to Sakura. "Enjoying the show?" she asked then gave him a hug. Then Tomoyo, who had controlled herself and walked to Yoshi as well. Yoshi laughed, he felt like he had seen his daughters again.

"People, I want y'all to meet two of our important members. Kinomoto Sakura and Daidouji Tomoyo, well, also known as the deadly duet," Yoshi announced to his people. They all looked shocked on how young the famous deadly duet is. They'd heard about them, yes, but never seen them, and also never expected to be as young and beautiful as that, unlike what they were called, deadly.

Yukito was the most shock of all, even though he didn't show it a lot. 'Kinomoto?' he thought.

"We enjoyed the show yes, even though it was too short, and hang gliders?" he raised a brow at two young and beautiful girls before him who smiled childishly. And then not only Tomoyo who laughed like crazy, but Sakura too.

The men looked lost on how childish and playful the deadly duet is. They never thought of two young girls with so much teenage spirit to be the best two spies in their group also two of important members. They always thought of two cold hearted expressionless evil girls with no rising young spirits.

Headquarters, Tokyo

"Ohayo, Yoshi," Sakura leaned at Yoshi's office door. Yoshi, who was sitting behind his desk looked up from his paper.

"Ohayo gozaimasu darling, come in please, "he said.

Sakura opened the door and came in followed by Tomoyo. "Ohayo to you too Tomoyo," he said when he saw Tomoyo, smiling. Tomoyo smiled back. They took the seats in front of Yoshi's desk.

"My son will arrive soon, you've met him," he stated. As he said that, the door once again opened revealing Yukito.

"Ohayo father, Daidouji, Sa.. umm, Kinomoto," he said, walking towards them. They looked Yoshi who nodded, and Tomoyo said "Ohayo, umm... Yu..." she tried to remember the young man's name hardly.

"Yukito. Tsukishiro Yukito, our future leader," Sakura helped her. Yukito smiled at her who smiled back. Yukito took a seat beside them.

"So, tell us about this Li assassination," Tomoyo started the conversation. Yoshi laughed hearing this. "We're not assassins, Tomoyo," Sakura stated.

"What's the different?" she asked.

"We only kill bad people. And that's so that good people don't suffer," Yukito said. "I don't like the word assassin either."

"Gee, I know, I'm only joking," she said rather boredly. "y'all got no sense of fun, even you became one too Saku." Sakura glared at her. Yoshi laughed at them.

"Never give up their spirit, eh? I wonder how you girls got the title. Oh well, the Li mission, however, will take long time. You two, our best spies, and the most capable for now to do this. And, you two put yourselves in this by your own demands." The two girls nodded. Yukito only watched them. He wondered how these girls, who don't seem at all like killers, would wanna do the mission, but then...

"Sakura, you... you're going to umm..." Yukito said, not finishing his words, he hesitated. He even called her first name straightly without thinking. He remembered her clearly then, how she used to be... "you're going to avenge Touya?" he finally decided to finish his words.

"How dare you sa.." Tomoyo glared at him, but before finishing her words, "Tomoyo," Sakura stopped her, "he's umm.. ah, he knew my brother. He was his best friend." Tomoyo was shocked. Her friend never wanted to hear his brother's name from other people's mouth. She always caught up in sorrow everytime she heard about her brother, and her family...

Sakura only smiled. The door again opened. And revealing a tall, beautiful young woman standing, holding the door knob. She looked inside and found what she was looking for.

"Kaho," said Yoshi. Sakura stood suddenly. "Sakura, you are not going for the mission, no way," the young woman said. Sakura came to her and they hugged.

"Kaho-nechan, miss you too," Sakura said.

Kaho sighed, her sister in law always so stubborn, just like her brother. "Sakura, I miss you, and I meant what I said. I told you, you are not going," she said, breaking the hug.

"Nechan, it will be fine, I will be fine," Sakura said. "NO, he wouldn't want you to go as well, trust me, I don't wanna loose another..." her eyes went teary. "Onechan! You will not loose me. someone has to make him pay, that Li man, you'll see, Nechan, he's got many people suffer as well, all of them, they're such evils alive."

"Let me go too, Yoshi," Kaho stated. "Please," she begged.

Yoshi smiled sorrily. "Gomen ne Kaho-san. We've already settled the plan and it only included the deadly duet. Don't worry, they're the best now."

She looked around and knew she wouldn't get them out of this, even Yukito, her best friend. Yoshi said so then there was no other way she would change that. "If you fail and never get back, I'm sure you'll be so sorry. All of you!" she warned. "I mean it Sakura. You too Tomoyo." Then she walked out. "Is she alright?" Sakura asked worrily. "Don't worry, she'll be fine. She's always got the temper, but she's okay. Now, if you two finsih, would you like going around Tokyo?" asked Yukito. The two nodded.

They went out Yoshi's office, Yukito led them to the garage.

"So what am I riding?" Tomoyo asked excitedly. One of the things she wanted back to headquarter was the cars she had never been able to drive when she was a child.

"Well, up to you. What do you think we're riding Sakura?" Yukito asked.

"Hey I think you misheard me, what am I riding?" she pressured I. Sakura laughed. She knew just how bad Tomoyo always wanted to drive the group's car. Yukito got what she meant. "Well, I thought we..." before he had finished, Tomoyo had ran to the black sport car not far from them. "God, this so cool, I'm riding this." She giggled, still looking thouroughly at the car more excitedly.

"Ano, I'm riding the one beside Tomoyo's," Sakura grinned at Yukito. He sighed wondering are these girls really deadly duet.

"Take the keys," he ordered his man, the vehicle manager who worked for their secret spy group. The man nodded and asked "and what are you riding, sir?" he had overheard all the conversation and thought it was funny how these young girls, the staff just knew two of the best spies, wanted to ride their own each cars.

"Usual," his boss said.

Donwntown road, Tokyo

"WOOOHOOO, this so cool, I like a lot this car. Can I have this, Tsukishiro- san?" Tomoyo asked, the three of them who were riding different cars were connected with the car phone. "Well, could be your ride while you're here," Yukito answered. They could hear Sakura's laugh and Tomoyo's scream of excitement.

"Okay guys, ready?" Tomoyo shouted too excitedly to the car phone speaker. "what?" Yukito asked confusedly. But just then, Tomoyo's car, which had been on the front all the way sped up and not so long after followed by Sakura's red sport car. Yukito shook his head. The road was quite crowded, the girls' crazy, he thought.

Café, Tokyo

The three sat on a very private spot of the café. They ordered coffees and sat there in silence for a moment.

"Tell me bout your expertices," Yukito broke the silence. "I see you're so good of your knives, Sakura. And your Double stick, Tomoyo."

"Uhuh, I practiced all my life," Tomoyo said, taking sugar. "And you don't wanna mess up with Sakura or she'll cut you into equal-shaped pieces, or worse..." she stopped, she made a face of horror "she might peel you," she continued with a made voice of horror. Yukito and Sakura laughed hard.

"Uhuh, and you don't wanna be headless in no time if you mess up with her sticks, and really, her sticks, not mentioning her," Sakura said between laughs. Tomoyo glared at Sakura. Yukito laughed harder. These girls really funny and so childish.

"How you hide those little knives of yours when traveling?" Yukito asked. "Oh trust me you don't wanna know, it's a secret," Sakura answered, smiling evilly.

"Oh well, you can't ask advices of that from her, even though she's expert, cuz you'll find it no use," Tomoyo said, grinning like crazy. "As you don't wear bra," at that, they all laughed like crazy, even though they were in private spot, people still heard them and gave them glares. It took quite minutes to get a hold of themselves.

"Sakura," Yukito called. Sakura looked up to him from her coffee.

"You know Kaho's right. You shouldn't be in this mission, both of you," he stated, looking directly at them. Sakura sighed, Tomoyo stayed quiet, looking at him.

"That Li man killed my brother and you know that Yukito-kun. I wonder why you haven't gone after him. After all, that's what I'm going to do if my best friend's killed," Sakura said certainly. Yukito looked over the stubborn girl in front of him. "So you are going to avenge him. Which, he wouldn't have wanted you to do so," he said.

"Yukito-kun, I have my own reason. I have my duty. And Tomoyo and I are the ones capable for this mission, that is our duty, and to avenge my brother, it only increases my intention to fulfill."

Yukito sighed. Okay, these girls couldn't be stopped. "That's it. We won't get ourselves killed, no worries, Tsukishiro-san, we're professionals. Even though we don't look like ones, but look at our title. We aren't called deadly duet for nothing, you just watch, we start, we finish," Tomoyo said. Then Yukito looked at their eyes. They were playful and childish, yes, but they could be this serious if it comes to works. He never knew such young girls as this. Maybe they were right, maybe they deserved the title. But we would see.

"Fine. Keep your words, don't get yourselves killed. And Sakura, I do have my own reason for not chasing after Li for Touya."

"You still believe he's not dead?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo watched them. "I do, and there are lots to prove, as day by day I still have my men searched for the truth, I've collected plenty. Don't you think I would do nothing for Touya." Then there was silence. Sakura looked she was thinking, but didn't say anything. She really didn't know what exaclty happened to her brother. But she always believed that Li killed him. She was getting confused but didn't feel like showing it.

"So, wanna order cakes? they're good here," Yukito offered suddenly, smiling. "Haiii, I love cakes," Tomoyo said, revealing her childish face. Yukito sighed and sweatdropped.
