"We're in, we're one of them now, and they call it Li Underground Squad, funny ne?" Sakura talked from the other side of the connection. Yoshi watched her through the screen with excitement.
"Why, you girls are quick, tell us how," Yoshi said. Sakura only smiled, "Hmm... that's the news, I'll call you later," she said, and then the connection broke.
"They're so quick, and ran ever so smoothly. I have the impression she didn't seem like talking much about their moves now," Yoshi thought.

Sakura walked out of the communication room of their apartment. She headed to the living room. She didn't really know what to do at that moment. She was now wondering what would happen tonight as she and Tomoyo would have another mission for the squad. And speaking about the squad, she was still wondering how Li would trust her and Tomoyo so fast that they just met not so while ago. And that kiss, oh my God the kiss, she wanted nothing more than to feel it again, 'oh what am I thinking? He killed your brother Sakura!' she thought. She then looked out the apartment window of the living room.
'Speaking about the kiss, I pulled out my knife, and he seemed suspicious on me but the next thing happened he invited us for the squad... he really wasn't suspicious on us then?' she was lost in another thought.
"Sakura?" Tomoyo called, she just entered the living room and saw Sakura who was looking out the window, lost in thoughts. Sakura didn't answer or make any sound. Seemed that she didn't hear her at all. Tomoyo shook her head. Since they were in the squad and had a closer relation with Li, Sakura was always lost in thought, as if she was struggling of it. She then headed to the phone, but not the secret one to contact the Headquarters, because she wouldn't think talking about something like this to the headquarters.
She dialed the number on the cordless phone and waited for the other end to pick up. She looked back at Sakura who was still looking out the window, and headed to her room, making sure Sakura wouldn't hear her.

--Li Underground Squad—

Sakura and Tomoyo walked in the chamber where everyone was. They saw the team was sitting on the round sofa while Li and Chang looked like they were arguing on the other side of the room.
"Hey babes, what's up," said Yamazaki as they took seats. Chiharu who was sitting beside him frowned. "What's the matter, Chiharu?" Sakura asked.
"Nothing's the matter if naughty Takashi would stop calling girls babes except for me," she said, looking away from Yamazaki. He laughed and round his arm on her shoulder.
"Sorry, I wont do that again, my tongue just slipped I didn't even guess," he stated. The others laughed.
"So you two're together? How long?" Tomoyo asked. "Oh for since forever, they're childhood friends," Rika said. Tomoyo squealed, "cool!"
"I wonder... are you all Li? or..." Sakura asked but then was interrupted, "No," Yamazaki said. "The real Li in the squad who also got the name are only Li and his cousin. Well, I'm one of relatives but not so close. Rika's also one, and the others just trusted and skilled people, like you ba–guys..." he looked guiltily at Chiharu. She only smirked.
"So where's his cousin?" Tomoyo asked. "Oh she's out of the country, business," Chiharu said.
Just then their conversation halted because Li came back, Chang behind him. His face looked dangerous. "Tonight, 9.30, all set, be on time," was all he said, actually commanded.

The seven of the team plus Li waited for their show time. They were now on their new mission. This time it was another large mansion and still, Sakura and Tomoyo didn't really know whose house that was. Couldn't hold it anymore, Sakura asked, "whose house this actually is?"
Li heaved a sigh and looked at her, frowning. "You don't know? How come you're in here while you don't know whose house you're going to burst in?"
Sakura lost her patience; she thought this man was the weirdest. "Onegai Li- san, you told me to – actually commanded us to do this. You didn't tell me so how may I know?" she said in an angry tone that she didn't realize she spoke in Japanese. The others were shocked by her tone to Li, especially Chang who then glared at her. Sakura then realized what she said and sighed, "I mean..." but much to her and Tomoyo's surprise he replied in Japanese, "Well you can at least ask the others while I'm too busy to tell you all the story, and yes I do speak Japanese."
Sakura was going to say something but was interrupted, "we've no much time, we're out in a minute, all I would tell you is this is Nakamura Kenji's house," he said. And with that tone, Sakura didn't know what else to say. She then realized that she was dying to ask why were they doing at the man's house but her mind had been crowded and it was time for them to get out.

--Outside Nakamura's Mansion—

"Well, you know which sides you are going, and be quick, we'll meet there," Li said. They were in the large mansion's big yard which was quite fully guarded. And they were hiding behind trees and big plants.
"But where there?" Sakura asked. "Shh... you're going with me so you've no worries bout that, now go," he said and commanded the others who then went to their directions in groups of two.
Sakura looked at Li who was then looked at one of the guard near them. She knew not to ask anything further that was on her mind. She remained silent. "Come on," he said, holding out his gun and went out from their current position towards the house.
He took glances at the guards and shot all three of them and then went on quickly. Sakura followed suit. He shot other guards who didn't have chance to take a quick glance at them. Sakura didn't do anything for Li did all the guards-extinguished things. She could see how skilled he was. He shot right to his targets and didn't miss one bit.
"Come quick, don't just stand there and do nothing," he said. Annoyed and blushing, she said, "Please, what do I do when you do all that?" then moved on.
They finally, more of Syaoran finally got rid of the guards and got nearer to the house. But the problem was, there was no back door or something, and then they just spotted a glass window and went towards it.
"You killed those people easily as if it's nothing," Sakura stated. Syaoran stopped and looked at her. "You know we have to kill them," he said.
"Well, not really you know you..."
"We have to, now shut up Saionji it's not the time to have some chit chat. And like you haven't killed anyone before," he interrupted. Sakura got angrier.
"It's not like I kill people so easily like you do" she almost shouted.
"Lower you voice, baka, you know that I saw you at the bar killing those people. And I told you to shut up."
"I wont shut up mister, and don't call me that. I killed them because they tried to kill me," Sakura now shouted.
"SHH! Don't shout!" he warned her. And as if the big house near them was soundproof, nothing came or happened. Syaoran looked back at her. "It's still killing. I really warn you now, miss I-don't-kill-innocent-people, if you shout out again, I wouldn't doubt to sweep you off. Now listen..." he said intensely. Sakura just quiet and thought 'God, he's right, it's still killing...'
"The guards are dangerous, especially ones in there," Syaoran stated. 'Now really? When you get rid of them in second?' Sakura thought. "I'm serious here, when we get in there, especially making a loud noise..." he glanced at the glass window before them through the darkness of the night. There wasn't really much light from the big house. He then thought nothing further, shot the glass window and it shattered into pieces with a loud glass-breaking noise.
--Tomoyo and Chang—
Chang shot towards one of the guard's head but missed. "Oh the guards are tougher here," she commented. Tomoyo agreed with that. She kicked one of the guard's stomach who then fell off. She turned to another guard who was going to attack her.
"Who are you bitches?" he said while going to shoot her.
"Haha... you've got some nerve," Tomoyo said tried hitting him on the head with her double stick but he ducked. Tomoyo moved quickly by hitting him with her knee right on his chin that made him fell over to the ground.
Tomoyo saw one of the guards who was going to contact his fellow with his radio. "Hey we got some a..." Tomoyo choked him with her double stick and whispered a threaten, "tell whoever it is that everything is fine."
The man hit her with his elbow but he missed because Tomoyo tilted her body and she tighten her double stick that was around his neck. The radio fell off his hand and he tried to hit Tomoyo with his elbow again and now succeded. Tomoyo loosen her double stick around his neck and stepped backward, rubbing her aching rib.
"Who are you?" he asked. He was then going after Tomoyo but before he did anything he stopped stunned, his eyes widened and fell towards her. When he collapsed she saw Chang pointing her gun on her direction and then lowered it. "Come on," she commanded. Tomoyo only nodded and thought, 'still so conceited, the tone of her. But oh well she just lightened my job."
Just then they heard a sound of breaking glass and a sound of alarm ringing throughout the mansion. "I think Syaoran's in," Chang stated beside Tomoyo.

--Syaoran and Sakura—

"Just a nice loud sound," Syaoran commented as the alarm rang throughout the mansion with a very loud noise. He stepped in the house, followed by Sakura.
They looked around at the dark hallway of the house. But as they started going further into the house rushing footsteps were heard.
"Who are you people?" the man, must be the guard, asked as they stopped at the intersection, coming face to face with the guards.
Syaoran pointed his gun on the guy's head and was going to shoot when he realized that he ran out of bullets. The guard laughed at that and got closer to them, going to punch Syaoran but he kicked him first and he was thrown to the wall behind him, not before taking another guard along with him, crashing the wall. "Nice," Sakura shot out, complimenting not even realized it. 'he's great,' Sakura thought. Syaoran only smirked as they continued their way while he put on some back up bullets he had prepared.
"Li," Sakura called as they walked through the hallway. "I mean Mr. Li."
"Syaoran," he simply said. "Nani?" Sakura asked back, confused. "Just call me Syaoran," he said. Sakura was kind of shock but then recovered, "why?" she wanted to know.
"I don't know, do just that," he said coolly. Oh how she didn't understand him. They still walked along the hallway, it was such a big mansion. "Then you must call me Sakura," she said. "well, I wanted to know why are we here and what do we search here in a dead man's so huge mansion," she said calmly.
"Oh well, that is if he's really dead man," he stated, making Sakura startled. "That's what we search for."
Before she could ask futher more of what she was badly curious of, she heard something and she straightly knew something followed them. Looking at Syaoran's face she knew he knew that too. She looked at him with let-me-do- that expression and turned her back on him. He watched as she pulled out her small knives and in such a flash of light he heard thuds on the floor. It was darker in the hallway, but they knew that she really had gotten rid of them. "That was some hit," Syaoran said. Sakura was sure she was blushing but thank God it was dark.
"Well well, if it isn't Li Syaoran," a voice was heard as they ended the walking along the hallway.

--Tomoyo and Chang—

"Oh shit, there are much more of them coming, why are they coming here only?" Chang complained. "Stop complaining, and fight!" Tomoyo said as they started on the bunch of men. "what do you think I'm doing?" she yelled as she kicked one of the men. "And who are you to talk to me like that," she shouted. Tomoyo totally ignored her. 'bahh, why should I be pairing with her? Grr... saving my life or not, she's still so annoying, conceited, fat- hea...' she abruptly stopped her thinking in order to get more concentrate on her fighting.
She decided to make a big move as she thought they wouldn't get rid of them in a short time. She held out her double stick and quickly did one of her great moves, she shouted to Chang to get her out of her attack domain. "Move out Chang," she shouted. Chang didn't know what she was going to do, so she didn't move at all. "Oh really, move, do I have to beg?" she shouted desperately as she ran to her and pushed her and did another move which made Chang totally shocked even though she hadn't recovered from the shock that she had been pushed. The men remaining fell to the floor unconsciously.

--Chiharu and Takashi—

"God, they were so many, no wonder, such a huge mansion that is eh," she commented. They were still fighting outside the mansion, they were actually near the house.
"Chiharu, dear, stop talking please, and concentrate," Takashi said desperately. "oh how you underestimate me, mister, I'll get to yo-aaaahhh..." she screamed as one of the men hit her and made her fall to the ground and second later she was unconscious. "Chiharu!!" Takashi yelled as he made his way to her after shooting one of the guard, praying that she was alright.

--The other side of the house—

Sakura and Syaoran reached a room and a second later the lights on after they heard the voice said. The room was containing sofas, fireplace and coffee tables, looked like a very large comfortable living room. A man was standing beside a sofa, facing them.
"Kawasaki," Syaoran said calmly, his amber eyes narrowed. Sakura looked at the man and thought she had seen him somewhere before.
"Yes I am. My my, the beautiful girl is now working for you after we asked for her eh? What a tricky scoundrel you really are Li." Sakura glared at him. He looked at her and smirked. "Why, she even has your famous glare, what else did you teach her?"
"Shut the fuck up. Your plan has been ruined, so back off," Syaoran stated, still calmly. The man laughed. "You really think it's all of our plan?" he asked. Sakura didn't know what they were talking about but she just remembered who he was. Nakamura's assisstant.
"Not really. Just tell me where he is I wanna let him learn the concequence for slandering me," he said. The man laughed again. "Not before I die," he said, narrowing his eyes.
"That would be a way better idea, you know," Syaoran said. Just then they heard footsteps. And then heard, "Sakura," Tomoyo called.
Tomoyo and Chang had arrived. They looked at the tenseness in the room. "Oh look, your other staff have arrived," he said in a mock tone. Syaoran glared at him but stayed calm. "I told you to shut up, and I only intend to say once."
"Ooh, I'm scared," he mocked. Syaoran lost his patience. He started to step forward to him to beat the hell out of him when a hand grabbed his arm, trying to pull him back. "Let me and Tomoyo do this, Syaoran, you and Chang could continue finding Nakamura," Sakura said to his ear. Chang and Tomoyo, however, heard this and this made Chang mad and Tomoyo shocked when the word 'Syaoran' getting in their brains.
"No, I could finish him up first," Syaoran said. But Sakura shook her head and her eyes showed her stubborness. Syaoran looked at those emeralds he would always love to see. He then walked saying, "come on Chang," towards Kawasaki who was blocking the way out of the living room.
"You are not going anywhere, Li," he stated, smirking. "Oh really?" Syaoran smirked. He pointed his gun to Kawasaki and shot. Kawasaki had to dodge so he moved and that left a spot to the next room which Syaoran quickly came towards followed by Chang. Kawasaki straightly noticed, he was going to catch up to them but Sakura threw her small knife right towards his head, but he quickly responded by tilting his head, making the knife missed him and it embeded to the wall.
He turned to the remaining girls in the room. "We're you're opponent now," Sakura said. She and Tomoyo were now thaking their stances, as they usually did when the deadly duet acted.

"Syaoran? Why do you trust them so much! I don't trust them!" Chang spouted. "Shut up Chang, it's not the right time to talk," Syaoran replied coldly.
They finally ended in a room which door was made by gold. "oh look, that fat head," Syaoran commented. He then opened the door which was unexpectedly unlocked.
"Welcome, Li," a cold husky voice said. "Oh, and his little assisstant."
"Nakamura," Syaoran roared.

--Sakura and Tomoyo—

Kawasaki stayed still as they watched each other, expecting any other movement from any of them. Holding his sword with sweating hand, he tightened his grip. Sakura was now on his left and Tomoyo on his right. He watched them from the corner of his eyes. They were breathing heavily, hearing their gasps, they would know who would move first.
Sakura pulled out more knives unnoticedly. In second she ran up to him followed by Tomoyo from the other side and started attacking him. He quickly responded to both of them as Sakura threw her knives at him, and he swayed it away by his sword and when Tomoyo's double stick was mere inches from his neck he made Tomoyo loosen her grip from her double stick which made it fall to the ground. Tomoyo stepped back so did Sakura. He was indeed a good fighter a rich man would hire.
He laughed as he looked at Tomoyo's double stick which was on the floor and in his area that was out of Tomoyo's reach. Sakura and Tomoyo were now in one side – before him.
Their eyes stared at each other's. Kawasaki's were changing from Sakura to Tomoyo and the other way around. He laughed again. "You bitches are heck of fighters. With that good looks too," he said eyeing them from head to toe. "Heck we are," Tomoyo said and with a quick glance at Sakura they started one of their greatest combined move.
They started over him and he, unexpected any of those moves trying to dodge but only fell flat on his face. He loosened the grip on his sword as Tomoyo reached out for her double stick but he, noticed this, quickly got a grip back and stabbed her on her shoulder. Sakura was shocked but quickly kicked him on his head and as he pulled his sword from Tomoyo's body, he fell to the floor with a loud thud. His head ached and he again started to loose his grip on his sword but tried to kept on but Sakura treaded on his hand and took it, stabbing him right in his heart with his own sword. "That's for stabbing her you idiot!"
She ran up to Tomoyo who had collapsed to the floor. "Tomoyo! Hold on!" Sakura yelled. Tomoyo screamed in pain as she grabbed her shoulder. Sakura hugged her tight, "hold on please, we'll get out of here."

"Hahahahah..." Nakamura laughed. "Yes, in flesh indeed," he said.
"You one heck of a scoundrel," Chang yelled, which only make him laugehd harder.
"Thank you Chang-san, you look good tonight too," he said, mockingly. Syaoran not wasting time pointed his gun on his head and began to shoot. Nakamura expertly dodged. But Syaoran kept shooting, trying to reach him. Nakamura moved back, forward, ducked, tilted his body even got out from his chair trying to avoid Syaoran's bullets. Syaoran was very good at shooting but Nakamura was also good at dodging. He stopped, but still pointing the gun at him.
"You're a good shooter Li, I've always known. You even shot my heart at the club eh?" he mocked, laughing again.
Syaoran started to move towards him, when Nakamura leaned at his desk and pressed something. Syaoran stopped when bars came out of the roof and floor before, blocking him from Nakamura. Nakamura laughed and stood up.
"I guess I'll see you any other time Li, now if you want to remain alive, flee from here in ten minutes. Haahahahaha..." he laughed as he started towards the book case behind him and did something that made the book case swang and he disappeared behind it.
"Does it mean...?" Chang asked.
"That fuckin old man," Syaoran muttered. "Let's get outta here quick and tell the others."

"Li," Sakura called as they walked through the hallway. "I mean Mr. Li."
"Syaoran," he simply said. "Nani?" Sakura asked back, confused. "Just call me Syaoran," he said. Sakura was kind of shock but then recovered, "why?" she wanted to know.
"I don't know, do just that," he said coolly. Oh how she didn't understand him. They still walked along the hallway, it was such a big mansion. "Then you must call me Sakura," she said. "well, I wanted to know why are we here and what do we search here in a dead man's so huge mansion," she said calmly.
"Oh well, that is if he's really dead man," he stated, making Sakura startled. "That's what we search for."
Before she could ask futher more of what she was badly curious of, she heard something and she straightly knew something followed them. Looking at Syaoran's face she knew he knew that too. She looked at him with let-me-do- that expression and turned her back on him. He watched as she pulled out her small knives and in such a flash of light he heard thuds on the floor. It was darker in the hallway, but they knew that she really had gotten rid of them. "That was some hit," Syaoran said. Sakura was sure she was blushing but thank God it was dark.
"Well well, if it isn't Li Syaoran," a voice was heard as they ended the walking along the hallway.

"Oh shit, there are much more of them coming, why are they coming here only?" Chang complained. "Stop complaining, and fight!" Tomoyo said as they started on the bunch of men. "what do you think I'm doing?" she yelled as she kicked one of the men. "And who are you to talk to me like that," she shouted. Tomoyo totally ignored her. 'bahh, why should I be pairing with her? Grr... saving my life or not, she's still so annoying, conceited, fat- hea...' she abruptly stopped her thinking in order to get more concentrate on her fighting.
She decided to make a big move as she thought they wouldn't get rid of them in a short time. She held out her double stick and quickly did one of her great moves, she shouted to Chang to get her out of her attack domain. "Move out Chang," she shouted. Chang didn't know what she was going to do, so she didn't move at all. "Oh really, move, do I have to beg?" she shouted desperately as she ran to her and pushed her and did another move which made Chang totally shocked even though she hadn't recovered from the shock that she had been pushed. The men remaining fell to the floor unconsciously.

"God, they were so many, no wonder, such a huge mansion that is eh," she commented. They were still fighting outside the mansion, they were actually near the house.
"Chiharu, dear, stop talking please, and concentrate," Takashi said desperately. "oh how you underestimate me, mister, I'll get to yo-aaaahhh..." she screamed as one of the men hit her and made her fall to the ground and second later she was unconscious. "Chiharu!!" Takashi yelled as he made his way to her after shooting one of the guard, praying that she was alright.

Sakura and Syaoran reached a room and a second later the lights on after they heard the voice said. The room was containing sofas, fireplace and coffee tables, looked like a very large comfortable living room. A man was standing beside a sofa, facing them.
"Kawasaki," Syaoran said calmly, his amber eyes narrowed. Sakura looked at the man and thought she had seen him somewhere before.
"Yes I am. My my, the beautiful girl is now working for you after we asked for her eh? What a tricky scoundrel you really are Li." Sakura glared at him. He looked at her and smirked. "Why, she even has your famous glare, what else did you teach her?"
"Shut the fuck up. Your plan has been ruined, so back off," Syaoran stated, still calmly. The man laughed. "You really think it's all of our plan?" he asked. Sakura didn't know what they were talking about but she just remembered who he was. Nakamura's assisstant.
"Not really. Just tell me where he is I wanna let him learn the concequence for slandering me," he said. The man laughed again. "Not before I die," he said, narrowing his eyes.
"That would be a way better idea, you know," Syaoran said. Just then they heard footsteps. And then heard, "Sakura," Tomoyo called.
Tomoyo and Chang had arrived. They looked at the tenseness in the room. "Oh look, your other staff have arrived," he said in a mock tone. Syaoran glared at him but stayed calm. "I told you to shut up, and I only intend to say once."
"Ooh, I'm scared," he mocked. Syaoran lost his patience. He started to step forward to him to beat the hell out of him when a hand grabbed his arm, trying to pull him back. "Let me and Tomoyo do this, Syaoran, you and Chang could continue finding Nakamura," Sakura said to his ear. Chang and Tomoyo, however, heard this and this made Chang mad and Tomoyo shocked when the word 'Syaoran' getting in their brains.
"No, I could finish him up first," Syaoran said. But Sakura shook her head and her eyes showed her stubborness. Syaoran looked at those emeralds he would always love to see. He then walked saying, "come on Chang," towards Kawasaki who was blocking the way out of the living room.
"You are not going anywhere, Li," he stated, smirking. "Oh really?" Syaoran smirked. He pointed his gun to Kawasaki and shot. Kawasaki had to dodge so he moved and that left a spot to the next room which Syaoran quickly came towards followed by Chang. Kawasaki straightly noticed, he was going to catch up to them but Sakura threw her small knife right towards his head, but he quickly responded by tilting his head, making the knife missed him and it embeded to the wall.
He turned to the remaining girls in the room. "We're you're opponent now," Sakura said. She and Tomoyo were now thaking their stances, as they usually did when the deadly duet acted.

"Syaoran? Why do you trust them so much! I don't trust them!" Chang spouted. "Shut up Chang, it's not the right time to talk," Syaoran replied coldly.
They finally ended in a room which door was made by gold. "oh look, that fat head," Syaoran commented. He then opened the door which was unexpectedly unlocked.
"Welcome, Li," a cold husky voice said. "Oh, and his little assisstant."
"Nakamura," Syaoran roared.

Kawasaki stayed still as they watched each other, expecting any other movement from any of them. Holding his sword with sweating hand, he tightened his grip. Sakura was now on his left and Tomoyo on his right. He watched them from the corner of his eyes. They were breathing heavily, hearing their gasps, they would know who would move first.
Sakura pulled out more knives unnoticedly. In second she ran up to him followed by Tomoyo from the other side and started attacking him. He quickly responded to both of them as Sakura threw her knives at him, and he swayed it away by his sword and when Tomoyo's double stick was mere inches from his neck he made Tomoyo loosen her grip from her double stick which made it fall to the ground. Tomoyo stepped back so did Sakura. He was indeed a good fighter a rich man would hire.
He laughed as he looked at Tomoyo's double stick which was on the floor and in his area that was out of Tomoyo's reach. Sakura and Tomoyo were now in one side – before him.
Their eyes stared at each other's. Kawasaki's were changing from Sakura to Tomoyo and the other way around. He laughed again. "You bitches are heck of fighters. With that good looks too," he said eyeing them from head to toe. "Heck we are," Tomoyo said and with a quick glance at Sakura they started one of their greatest combined move.
They started over him and he, unexpected any of those moves trying to dodge but only fell flat on his face. He loosened the grip on his sword as Tomoyo reached out for her double stick but he, noticed this, quickly got a grip back and stabbed her on her shoulder. Sakura was shocked but quickly kicked him on his head and as he pulled his sword from Tomoyo's body, he fell to the floor with a loud thud. His head ached and he again started to loose his grip on his sword but tried to kept on but Sakura treaded on his hand and took it, stabbing him right in his heart with his own sword. "That's for stabbing her you idiot!"
She ran up to Tomoyo who had collapsed to the floor. "Tomoyo! Hold on!" Sakura yelled. Tomoyo screamed in pain as she grabbed her shoulder. Sakura hugged her tight, "hold on please, we'll get out of here."

"Hahahahah..." Nakamura laughed. "Yes, in flesh indeed," he said.
"You one heck of a scoundrel," Chang yelled, which only make him laugehd harder.
"Thank you Chang-san, you look good tonight too," he said, mockingly. Syaoran not wasting time pointed his gun on his head and began to shoot. Nakamura expertly dodged. But Syaoran kept shooting, trying to reach him. Nakamura moved back, forward, ducked, tilted his body even got out from his chair trying to avoid Syaoran's bullets. Syaoran was very good at shooting but Nakamura was also good at dodging. He stopped, but still pointing the gun at him.
"You're a good shooter Li, I've always known. You even shot my heart at the club eh?" he mocked, laughing again.
Syaoran started to move towards him, when Nakamura leaned at his desk and pressed something. Syaoran stopped when bars came out of the roof and floor before, blocking him from Nakamura. Nakamura laughed and stood up.
"I guess I'll see you any other time Li, now if you want to remain alive, flee from here in ten minutes. Haahahahaha..." he laughed as he started towards the book case behind him and did something that made the book case swang and he disappeared behind it.
"Does it mean...?" Chang asked.
"That fuckin old man," Syaoran muttered. "Let's get outta here quick and tell the others."
