The Deadly Duet
Chapter 4: Getting in the Important Part
--Outside the police office—
"You know you shouldn't do that," Syaoran stated as he walked to Wei coolly through the guards that were around them blocking the press who were struggling to get Li.
"Shouldn't you thank me?" Sakura said annoyed, Tomoyo was behind them, hearing the conversation excitedly. 'Oh please, didn't I just save him?' Sakura thought.
'Oh well, he deserves being in prison... But no, not in this case where I'm a witness...' She shrugged, still in thought.
"I could get myself out in no time it's just some stupid case..." he muttered.
"Oh please, at least you're out in better way, not in a money way," Sakura really was annoyed, 'he's too fat-headed' she thought.
"Clearly someone wanted me to be arrested, I wouldn't get myself out too easily in just a stupid money way either," he stated.
Sakura startled at his words, so did Tomoyo whose eyes only widen. "You said you could get yourself out in no time," Sakura said.
They reached Syaoran's car which door was opened by his butler.
"Has mother woken up?" he asked his butler. Wei just nodded and bowed when he was going to get in after, "I frankly have another way, Miss Witness. Wei, get the misses to their car. Good day to you too," Sakura gave him a glare. Wei looked at them in disbelief, his master never let anyone glaring at him get away freely, much worse guarded by his guards to their car. But he then told the guards to get them to their car though, while the presses still trying to get them like crazy.
--In the Car—
"He's hopeless, what the hell was he thinking..." Sakura muttered all the way.
Tomoyo was driving now and she was lost thinking as well. "I wonder why he said so. Someone wanted him to be arrested? It won't be us will it?" Sakura muttered.
"Sakura, we want him dead, not arrested, I wonder who killed Nakamura if it isn't him," Tomoyo stated.
"Tomoyo, I told you he was with me, you know it, and he was with me since he arrived and after all the gunshots too. He even got us out."
"Okay, there's something very odd now, you cover him up," Tomoyo said calmly.
Sakura felt her anger rose. Tomoyo never dare talk to her like that until now. "Tomoyo, I DON'T COVER HIM UP, THAT'S THE DAMN TRUTH, AND YOU KNOW IT. DONT SAY SUCH SHIT TO ME," Sakura shouted to her making her stopped abruptly.
Tomoyo, still calm, faced her. "That's not what I meant, SAKURA, calm down. I'll never think about that, what I meant is you don't seem like the day we first met him, all your hatred feelings towards him the instinct of killing him, where'd all go? It just seemed to disappear from you, you looked at him in a different expression, your eyes, I just thought that, I feared that you might fa...
"Fall for him? No, thank you... HE KILLED MY BROTHER, Tomoyo, for God's sake why would I fall for him?" Sakura was really upset that she didn't know what she said. That what she stated truly inverse of what she was feeling. She got out of the car and walked away from it. Tomoyo knew she should leave her alone. She knew she had a thing for him, and she was struggling to get off the feeling of rather killing him or falling for him. From the look of both eyes, Tomoyo just knew they just fell for each other. She was such a good reader.
--Syaoran's office, Li Inc.—
"You called?" Sakura asked as she walked in Syaoran's office. She was rather surprised that he called her. But she thought maybe he wanted to thank her or something.
She walked closer to his desk, trying not to look at his eyes. Everytime she looked at it, she felt something too strange and she was scared that Tomoyo might be right. She shook her head.
"Why shaking your head, I haven't said any words," Syaoran stated calmly, his arms on his desk, he watched her closely trying to catch her amazing eyes but she seemed to avoid his. He stood up his chair, walking closer to her.
Sakura still looked down. But knowing that he was getting closer to her, she tried holding her head high, eyeing him. He caught her eyes and gazed to her beauty emerald. Sakura suddenly felt that strange feelings. 'Damn my heart beats faster,' she thought.
Syaoran smirked at her uneasiness. Sakura felt stupid, she never felt uneasy in front of anyone before.
Sakura didn't know how to hide her uneasiness, she said, "why did you think someone wanted you arrested? And who really killed Nakamura?"
Syaoran chuckled, Sakura looked at his handsome face who finally got his eyes off her and she sighed. "Want to know everything, don't you Miss?" he teased. Sakura was rather shocked, his tone was different, much more soft and deep, and his voice made her melt.
"Well, I guess you wont be shocked if I tell you that even my family would want me arrested or even dead just to get my position, but heck I was born to be this, and I don't know why I'm telling you all this, how d'you get me?" he stated, looking at her again, he leaned on his desk, folding his arms.
"I... I have no idea," she felt his eyes again.
"Probably the one who wanted me arrested killed that guy, or I don't know, maybe he killed himself," he continued. "See, I don't even have any clue why I called you here and talk to you like this." He walked closer to her.
"The next thing after he knew that I had a witness to release me from the accusation, he would want me dead," he said, walking even closer. Sakura stepped back away to get as distant as she could from him but he just went closer. "Well, lots would want to as well though."
Sakura gasped abruptly hearing that. He noticed it. "You're one of them?" he asked. They were now only inches.
"N-no, if that's so, I would have wanted you to be arrested first," she said, she didn't know if it was a lie or not, she herself was confused.
His face was getting closer to her. And then she felt his lips against her. A more strange feelings running down her body. She didn't know what she was doing but she kissed him back.
They kissed for a while, getting lost at each other until Sakura was aware. She then thought nothing further, she held out her hidden small knife from her skirt belt 'this is the chance' she thought. But then Syaoran deepened the kiss and she just couldn't help herself. He made her heart melt, he was too good. The knife fell to the floor with a loud noise that made them break the kiss.
Sakura looked at it, her eyes widen in shock. 'What have I done?'
Syaoran stayed calm as if it were nothing what'd fallen to the floor. It was a knife, and he knew exactly what that was for. Sakura quickly took it, her cheeks still red from the kiss.
"I...a I..." she stuttered, didn't know what to say.
"You carry those knives all the time, do you?" he said, shocking her making her gasp. "How you... How do you..."
"You think I didn't see you that night at the club eh?" he said, smirking.
"I-I'm sorry, it just fell..." she said looking down. 'Shit! He saw me, and now he got me,' she thought.
"I know," he said, walking back to his chair. "Or I pretend to know? Oh well, I felt you like my kiss, now that the thing I really called you here, it's just I thought I would hire you for a higher and more important job."
"Seeing your expertice of knives I see you've got some skill. Well, I'll tell you more tonight, I'll have my men pick you up, and you can bring your sister too. She could get out of the club incident I think she has some skill too, or am I mistaken?"
Sakura stared at him in disbelief. She was going to kill him and she knew he thought so, but he was inviting her to do that 'higher job'? 'I really don't understand him but oh well, I should bring Tomoyo now that he knew. And I really like his kiss, God what am I thinking?'
"She does," she said.
--A House in HK—
Sakura and Tomoyo followed the man who was leading them in the big house. They looked around the house that was filled with people rushing.
"What's this place?" Sakura couldn't help herself to ask anymore. The man answered, "This is the headquarters of the Li underground squad."
"I see you misses are new members?" he asked. "Li underground squad?" they asked in the same time, very surprised.
They reached a door at the end of the corridor. He opened it and they got in.
There were some people sitting on a round sofa in the chamber. The two looked around and found Li who was standing up.
"Saionji, these people are members of the squad, I guess you've known about it. They're going with you on your first mission, they're Terada and Yamazaki, and the girls are Rika, Chiharu, and you've met Chang," he said quickly while pointing to their names. Sakura and Tomoyo had no clue of what he was talking about.
"You guess but no, we haven't, Mr. Li, would you please tell us what this all about?" Sakura finally said, trying to get a hold of herself of the flooding curiosity. Syaoran sighed, looking at her eyes. He always loved doing it.
"Oh well, we don't have much time, get out, I'll explain," he said. 'Gosh the tone of his,' they thought. "I'll explain to them, Syaoran," Chang said, offering.
"No, it has to be myself," Syaoran said, walking towards the door and got out of the chamber, followed by Sakura and Tomoyo.
Chang cursed under her breath. "What's with that, Chang?" Rika asked, looking at her intently.
"Don't you see how he looked at her? And how she talked to him and he let that?" Chang spoke with hatred.
"From the sound of it, you're jealous," Rika concluded. "But she got a point, Rika," Chiharu interrupted. "I never see Syaoran talked to a woman he just knew and is his worker like that. I wonder how skilled she really is."
"Li could see how someone's skilled. And yes, he's so different when looked at that girl," Yamazaki said. It all only increased Chang's dislike of Sakura.
--Another room in the house—
"I saw you got some skill as I told you, and yes, this underground squad is all that behind Li Inc... and tonight, I'm giving you your first mission," Syaoran explained to the two girls before him.
"The people I introduced the ones will go with you. They're one of the best teams, there are more, but they're not in Hong Kong now, on with another mission."
Sakura and Tomoyo smiled to themselves. They just got in their improtant part, being one of them, that was just their plan. But how could it be so fast? How could he trust them as fast as this?
Sakura couldn't help but asked, "Why do you trust us? We've only worked for you in a few days, and I guess some squad such this would need trustworthy people who have at least worked for a year or something."
"That don't do, even a year would fool. I can see right through them," he stated, again looking at her eyes. 'Now really?' Sakura and Tomoyo thought so at the same time. "You get me out of the accusation, and what do you think the kiss was for?" he said calmly. Sakura blushed. Tomoyo looked at them in curiosity.
"Do you kiss people just to know how trustworthy they are?" Sakura couldn't believe it, she thought about the kiss and she couldn't deny that she really liked it. But he only did for that?
"No," he said calmly. Sakura narrowed her eyes, 'this guy's such a mystery...'
Tomoyo shook her head 'they really...' she thought. But she wanted to deny it; it would just ruin their plan. And however, they couldn't just kill Li, they had to find information that was what spies do, but this is the easiest process of a mission they'd been through when they thought this would be hardest.
"Well, just show them you skill, I always want a mission accomplish."
He left them and signaled to his man to lead them to their first mission.
--In a Van—
"Okay, Terada, Rika and Saionji go first from the west wing, Chiharu and Saionji from south, and me and Chang east," Yamazaki explained.
"Get to where the boss's room is, and we meet there," he continued. They all nodded and started getting ready to get out.
--Terada, Rika, Tomoyo—
They went to the west side of the big mansion, ducking everytime a guard looked back. They mansion was totally guarded.
"We have to move, I wanna get there first," Rika stated.
"Yeah right," Terada said. He held out his gun and stood from the bush they were hiding. He started shooting towards two of the guards who then fell to the ground. Rika followed him, standing up and shoot another guards right on their heads. Tomoyo watched how they easily killed people. She shook her head.
"Come on Saionji," Rika called. Tomoyo stood up, she felt someone behind her then she straightly held out her double stick choking him and the man fell to the ground. It happened at the speed of light.
"Whow... what did you do to him?" Rika couldn't even see clearly of what she did. "She probably choked him, oh get a move on," Terada commanded, looking surprise as well. They all then walked towards the mansion, beating every man that stood on their way.
"He's not dead yet," Rika commented when she saw another of Tomoyo's move and realized that they all weren't dead. "I know..." Tomoyo muttered.
"What are you thinking? They've seen us," Rika said turning back to shoot everyone who hasn't died. Tomoyo sighed. 'These people really are evils, I should then kill them later,' Tomoyo thought. 'I wonder what Sakura thought...'
--Chiharu and Sakura—
Chiharu kicked one of the men right on his nose and shot him between his eyes. "Quick, Saionji, I wanna get there first," she said to Sakura.
"Is it some race or anything?" Sakura commented, pulling out her small knife from a man's stomach and wiped it with her handkerchief. "Haha... it's just a bit of fun while doing our missions, and yes, it's kinda race."
Sakura watched Chiharu shot and kicked all the men to death, 'this girl's such a killer,' she thought. Sakura however didn't have any evidence to kill these people; she didn't even know what they do. She only killed bad people, so she didn't kill them, just made them faint. She also knew that Tomoyo wasn't killing these guards too. 'But oh well, at least I'm not paired with that Chang woman,' she thought.
"I see you're really great of those knives. Would you teach me some other time? I think you're a great partner," Chiharu stated calmly while shooting another guards that were coming towards them. 'Of course if I shouldn't kill you for killing these people,' Sakura thought.
Chiharu saw Sakura hitting one man on the stomach and threw her knife expertly towards another man's stomach. "Why are you hitting their stomachs? They couldn't die just because of that!" Chiharu said. "They'll die when they lost blood, and for we hit everyone who's coming our way, none would help them so they will probably die," Sakura stated unwillingly. But she got a point and Chiharu thought so.
They made their way to the house when every guard stopping them was knocked off. They finally reached the back door of the house which was locked.
There was someone behind the door realizing that they were trying to get in, "Who's there?" the voice of a man asked behind the door. He was probably one of the guards who was guarding inside the house. 'Damn this house's full of guards,' Sakura thought, shaking her head. Chiharu nodded to Sakura who then nodded back and Chiharu started her action, "Umm... I'm a new maid, and I got lost in this too big house and I couldn't get in where every door is locked. Would you please let me in?" Chiharu said in a sweet seductive voice. The man groaned and a second later the door made click sound.
"How'd you..." the man was going to scold who he thought was a maid but instead he was suddenly shocked by Sakura's knife which was only a centimeter from his throat. He looked at the girl who pointed him the small knife, and a smiling girl beside her. "What are you..." the man gripped Sakura's wrist, trying to get the knife out of her hand but she still held it firmly.
Chiharu kicked him right on his stomach, making him fell over through the door on to the floor inside the house. They stepped in the house, the man stood up in such effort. But then Sakura threw some of her small knives which flew and landed tying him tightly to the wall behind him, left him hanging by his clothes which were stabbed to the wall by her knives.
Chiharu watched Sakura played her knives in awe. "Tell us where your boss's room is!" Chiharu commanded, pointing her gun to his head. "Find it yourself, bi... ahhhh!" he dare said.
Before he finished his word Chiharu shot him on his shoulder making him scream in pain. "Try calling me that again and I'll send you straight to hell, I repeat, where the hell is your boss's room?" Chiharu shouted, her gun back pointing at his head. Sakura watched her and pitied the man who she tied to the wall.
"S... s..s-econd s-story, at the e-end of-the r-right-corridorr..." he stuttered in pain. Chiharu then shot him right on his heart and signaled Sakura to follow her. Sakura was shocked of what she saw. He just gave them the information but she still killed him. 'Those Lis...' Sakura thought. 'I will really have to kill them for making everyone suffer.'
They walked deeper inside the house to meet another guard who probably heard the man's scream but they were then knocked off by the girls.
"I wonder why the squad consisted of lots of girls," Sakura muttered what came up to her mind. Chiharu chuckled, "that's why I like working for the squad, they don't think females are fragile, they see skill more than gender," she stated. Funny how they could talk between missions, Chiharu liked Sakura for she really was skilled and calm.
They finally found the stairs that led them to the second story. Reaching upstairs, they continued their way to the right corridor.
--All Seven—
"I think it's not here, let's go back to the other corridor, damn this mansion's too huge," Rika spat. They went back to where they first reached the second story, and took another corridor they hadn't tried.
"Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo called Sakura when she saw her in front of a door with two men on the floor.
"Hehehe... finally arrive y'all," Chiharu mocked. Rika frowned at her. "You're only lucky, we get here first but took the other corridor," she said.
"Oh well, we used another way," Chiharu stated when Chang and Yamazaki were coming from the stairs direction. "Here they finally come," Chiharu teased them.
"Oh shut it, let's just finish this, I'm sleepy," Chang said, headed to the door an kicked it open. The seven came in and find their target.
"Give us the damn contract now," Chang commanded the middle-aged man who looked totally scared she pointed her gun on him. "What? Who are you people?"
"Your worst nightmare," Rika stated, walking in the room and started looking for something, followed by Yamazaki. "Tell us where the hell that is I'm sick of searching!" Chang shouted. The man stayed quiet and Chang, losing her patience, shot him right on his head.
"Bahh, I hate searching, y'all look for it quickly, I'm sick being here," she said, shooting some cases and cabinets. Tomoyo and Sakura didn't know what to search for, but they really were shocked of what they saw. Those people killed innocent people easily. They wondered how evil man the leader really was. Sakura thought about her brother and her hatred feelings suddenly came up to her body, making her shivered.
