Chapter 4 – A Series of Unfortunate Events

Sakura, Tomoyo, Melinda, White and Tohru were racing down a road. They weren't sure how far they been going for or even how long. Sakura stepped on the brakes and signaled everyone to stop. Sakura and the others stood out of their Porsches and looked down the dirt road. Why was it so dirty and secluded? "White? Are you sure this is the right place? Tomoyo? Melinda? Toh--..." "Hai!" They cheered in unison. "Hai!" Tohru cheered a bit too slowly. Tohru had a blank expression on her face which meant she was deep in thought.

"Hmmm....I wonder who Toh could be? Hmm.....tomato? Token? Toll? Tone?" Tohru thought frantically. "NOOO! I can't think of anything!" Tohru screamed aloud. Everyone stared at Tohru like she was a bum on the streets. "Tohru, what's wrong with you today?" Tomoyo asked curiously. "Tohru! That's it! That's the only word I can think of that makes sense." Tohru proclaimed gleefully. "What the hell is she on about?" Melinda whispered to White. Tohru seemed to be talking to herself, or the ground, or her imaginary friend, the list was endless. Sakura, Tomoyo, White and Melinda eyed her and began to slowly back away.

It was times like these that they often wondered why they even let her into the gang. Sure she was a skilled fighter and pretty gorgeous at that, but she was completely clueless! 'I remember why we let her join the gang now..... SHE WAS PISSING ME OFF! Ohh....please, please! I promise not to tell anyone! I swear! I cross my heart hope to die and I'll even write it with my own blood! Just please let me join!' Sakura imitated in her head with pictures of when she first found out they were a gang.

"C'mon TOHRU!" Melinda yelled. Tohru continued to talk to herself, but still followed.

15 minutes later

"We could have driven all the way to the front gates. So WHY are we walking?" White whined kicking a rock that hit a metal sign. "Cos I thought you needed the exercise!" Sakura answered evilly. White kicked another rock that almost hit Sakura. Instead Sakura had heard this coming and grabbed the rock pegging it at White, but instead hit Tohru. "See what you've done now bitch!" White answered coldly putting a bandage on her forehead where the rock had hit. "Sorry Tohru! I really am." Sakura continued to walk with the others as Tohru and White caught up to them.

It took a while for White to catch up the others because she had another weird habit of hers. White always walked two steps forward and 1 step back. So it always took forever to catch up. The only time she didn't walk like that was when she was running.

106 Lee Building on Kim Street

"Finally we're here! But why is it getting so dark? Oh well, I'm sure it's just the clouds." Sakura stated cheerfully knowing that she had won the bet. "White, what is the time??" "It's only 1500 hours." Sakura pressed the intercom button and began to talk. "Hello? This is Sakura Kinomoto. I believe Syaoran Li is expecting us." Sakura waited but did not get a response.

While they waited, the girls examined the mansion. It was huger than Cherry Train and had a lot more windows. It did look a lot like a building, but you could tell it wasn't because there was a sign that read 'Li residence'. The others watched as Sakura's patience grew impatient.

"Patience is a virtue you know Ying Fa?" Sakura spun around and saw THE Syaoran Li smirking opening the gate and letting the girls' in. "Well it took you long enough!" Sakura complied tapping her foot on the ground with her hands on her hips. "Well it sure took you a long time to find us!" Syaoran replied angrily. "What the shit are you talking about? It's only three 'o' clock! We got here 3 hours early!" Sakura glared at Syaoran. "What do you mean 3 'o' clock? It's more like 7:30! Why do you think it's dark? Because of the clouds? I don't think so!" Syaoran stated coldly towering over Sakura. Sakura blushed crimson at the clouds remark.

Sakura's eyes bulged out, she was speechless, no, she was pissed. Sakura turned around and eyed her friends. Sakura then caught White backing away ready to make a run for it. "WHITE! WHAT IS THE TIME? HMMM?" "Uhhh.....it's...hehehe... I DIDN'T MEAN TO! I SWEAR!" White blurted out frantically trying to run away Sakura's wrath. "WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?" Syaoran was enjoying this quite a bit. Not only had he made a fool out of Sakura, but to top it off there was going to be a cat-fight. Syaoran smirked and watched with great interest.

"I guess my watch must have stopped when the door slammed into it." "Oh my god! Please tell me you didn't go close all the doors AGAIN!" Sakura yelled. White remained silent for a minute or so. "WELL?" "Well you told me to tell you that I didn't close all the doors again. But since I did, I shouldn't say anything." White smiled weakly. Sakura slapped her hand against her forehead. 'How dense could she get?' Sakura thought. After about 5 minutes Syaoran got tired of this 'cat fight' because there wasn't actually any fighting.

7:45

Syaoran let out a high pitched whistle and smirked as the girls winced. "Now that I've got ya attention, why don't we go inside and have a nice cup of or tea?" Syaoran stated commandingly. "Oh no we're not!" Melinda screamed into Syaoran's ear. "Uhuh! I'll go inside and make some cookies and put the kettle on." "TOHRU! WHAT THE HELL DO YA THINK YOU'RE DOING GIVING IN SO EASILY AND EVEN OFFERING TO PREPARE EVERYTHING?" Sakura and Melinda yelled together dragging her 5 feet away from the house. Tohru, Sakura and Melinda were arguing like hell. White just stared at them dot eyed.

8:15

"You know what Syaoran? I think I'll just go in and have some tea cos this could go on forever." White whispered to Syaoran. Syaoran only nodded. As White headed for the door with her hand on the knob, a quick hand reached out and grabbed he by the ear. "Owww! OWWWEEEE! Let go Melinda before I teach you a lesson!" White screamed elbowing Melinda in the stomach.

"BITCH!" Melinda yelled charging at White kicking her in the back. The two girls starting to throw punches at each other. Melinda dodged punch after punch and White dodged kick after kick. Melinda through a powerful kick at White, but White back flipped in the air and dodged it. Melinda smirked as she successfully hit White in the head. Her smirk left as quickly as it appeared on her face. "SHIT!" Melinda blurted out. Melinda had actually kicked Tomoyo in the head. "YOU ARE SOO GONNA PAY FOR THAT!" Tomoyo yelled angrily charging at Melinda.

When White back flipped in the air she had landed on an already angry Sakura. Sakura was a very skilled fighter and landed almost every punch on White. "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT! YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PISS SAKURA KINOMOTO OFF? WELL DO YA?" White was scared shitless and didn't answer. "YOU GET YOUR ASS KICKED BADLY!!" Sakura laughed evilly. Landing a punch on Whites arm. "I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU NEVR TO HIT MY ARM NO MATTER WHAT!" "Woops. I must have forgotten when you landed on my head. Silly me!" Sakura retorted sarcastically.

"Four down, one to go....Woah they are really good fighters." Syaoran made a mental note. "Come on you guys. It's getting really late and I wanna go in. Please just stop." Tohru pleaded. In all the confusion Melinda kicked Tohru in the face. Tohru wiped the blood off her face, fire blazing in her eyes. "IF YOU WANT WAR, THEN BRING IT ON!" Tohru commanded losing all the innocence in her sweet voice. Although Tohru was vicious when she got angry, the only thing she could do to her friend was slap her furiously.

Melinda wasn't so great at defending slaps because Tohru landed them at high speeds. "Wait!" Sakura commanded through heavy breathing. Everyone stopped and faced the Sakura. "I just wanted to say.....YOU'RE ALL SHITTY FIGHTERS!" Sakura yelled being attacked at all angles. "I knew you would do that!" Sakura proclaimed dodging every single attack except for Tohru's deadly slaps.

Syaoran had gone inside for a can of Pepsi before coming back out and watching the girls fight, intently.

8:45

Kaiba heard screaming noises coming from outside and beckoned the other guys to find out what it was. "Do I really have to come?" Eriol asked lazily. "IF you don't then I'll be forced to load those pix I have of you with your teddy bear on the net for all too see! What's his name again? Cuddles is it?" "OK! OK! I'll come." Eriol screamed frantically. Kaiba smirked in triumphant as the guys followed him outside.

"So the girls finally made it...." Andy proclaimed. "We're not blind you know?" Eriol stated matter-of-factly. "Hmmmph." Andy somewhat replied. "So Syaoran, how long have they been fighting?" "Oh you know like half and hour." "And you haven't stopped them... why?" Daniel added. "Because this is the best bitch-fight I have ever seen." "I see." Daniel said turning his attention to the fighting girls. Syaoran was right; it was the feistiest cat fight he had ever seen.

"DO YOU GIRLS WANT TO COME IN NOW? WE WON THE BET YOU KNOW." Michael yelled above all the screaming from the girls. "SHUT UP! YOU'RE NEXT DICKHEAD!" Melinda yelled back. "Shit." Was all Michael could say.

The suddenly the dark clouds exploded and it was raining heavily. The girls continued to fight and swear like nothing was going on, to the guys' amazement. "Maybe you girls should come on in. You might catch a cold." Eriol offered soothingly. The girls just shrugged that off and gifted even harder.

'How could we have even lost to those bastards?' The girls thought in their heads over and over again except for Tohru. "When we finish fighting, what should I cook? Riceballs? No, no, no. What if they don't like it? What if it's too plain! Ahhhh!' Tohru thought frustrated.

9:00

All of the guys walked inside the house cos now it was really dark. It was already 9 'o' clock. The guys collapsed onto the black sofa and switched the TV on.

"Good evening. This is Lee Min Soo. We have received news that Blue Coyote, the gang, has disbanded after Shinhwa, the most deadly gang in Asia, allegedly brought them down a week ago. The leader of the gang Hitoshi Takahashi was brutally murdered and his body was found dumped at a local cemetery, 20km from Tomoeda, Japan. If anyone has any information about this crime, then please call Crime Stoppers with the number below. All information is kept anonymous. Sources say that they are currently hiding in Japan." Kaiba quickly switched off TV.

Syaoran's eyes widened in anger. Sure he didn't like Blue Coyote, but how could they have murdered one of his friends? This gave Syaoran all the more reason to take down Shinhwa. He was more than determined to kill them all. The guys had to restrain Syaoran from breaking the wide screen TV.

"SHIT. What if Shinhwa are outside the house ready to attack the girls?" "Are you serious Syaoran? What kind of a retarded bastard would even try to attack those crazy ass bitches?" Andy said coolly. "Don't be so paranoid Syaoran." Daniel stated. "Yeh, Andy and Daniel are right. Besides Shinhwa are in Japan, like that news reporter said. They couldn't be in two places at once. Only the six leaders can make any decisions like murder the gang leader." Eriol reassured. "I guess you right, but I still think we should check up on the girls. They could be sick by now." They all agreed and began walking outside.

'I just can't help, but feel a little afraid for the girls. What if Sakura gets hurt? That's it. I'm gonna protect Sakura no matter what. I know we've only just met, but she's too dear to me to lose already. Money can't buy happiness, but I bet Sakura can buy me my happiness.' Syaoran thought determined.

Outside at 9:30

Syaoran gasped at the sight before him as he opened the door. There were no longer any screams or loud wacks of pain. "FUCK!" Syaoran yelled. He ran outside despite the fact that it was raining.

All the girls were laying on the muddy ground in the rain. They were breathing heavily and cuts and bruises on their body's. "Are you okay Sakura?" Syaoran asked soothingly. "Yeh I'm just dandy. I won!" Sakura muttered triumphantly and smiling weakly before falling unconscious.

The other guys were already carrying Sakura's unconscious friends into the house.

"It's okay now my Cherry Blossom." Syaoran whispered before carrying Sakura inside as well.

Later that night

Sakura suddenly fluttered her eyes open and sat up immediately. "Where am I?" Sakura whispered to herself. She looked around the room. It was COMPLETELY green. The chair was green, the carpet was green, the windows were tinted green and even the clothing she was wearing was green. [you get the point] 'Oh my god! Did Syaoran take advantage of me? AHHH!' All these thoughts raced through Sakura's mind. She could tell it was Syaoran's room because of the smell. Sakura sighed. 'What the fuck are you thinking Sakura? You only just met him and you're already falling for him. How naïve could you possibly get?' Sakura asked herself silently.

There was another door in the mysterious green room. Sakura assumed that it was a bathroom and she was right. The door opened slowly and out stepped......

DUM DUM DUMM! Who could it be? Hmm?

The door opened slowly and out stepped someone with a familiar face. A face Sakura had grown to love. Sakura jumped out of her bed and ran to hug them. "I'm so glad to see you." Their bodies were so close to each other, their body's heat emitting heat waves. "Is it just me or is it hot?" .... "Oh it's just the stupid heater." Sakura answered her own question grinning. "I'm really sorry about what happened earlier. I hope I didn't worry you too much." Sakura said bowing.

The door to the room silently opened and standing there was Syaoran.

[Muhahahaha.....surprised?]

Syaoran was holding a bowl of rice porridge and a glass of herbal tea. "I'm sorry, was I interrupting anything?" Syaoran asked apologetically. "No, it's ok Syao. Tomoyo and I were just talking about earlier." "I'm sorry about the huge clothes, I had nothing else in my drawer. That was the smallest size I could find." Syaoran's t-shirt was practically a dress for Sakura. "It's okay. Your too kind really." Sakura said while gulping down her rice porridge and tea.

"Well, since you lost the bet, it was my duty as the host to be so kind." 'The bet! SHIT! I forgot we lost. Arrgghhh! Note to self: NEVER ask White for the time ever again.' Sakura thought angrily.

"Well could we please go to sleep now? I have business to take care of tomorrow." Syaoran commanded. "Okay then, I have to go to my family's funeral tomorrow anyways." Sakura yawned pulling the blanket over her. 'Oh my god! How could I have even forgotten about that? Damn." Syaoran thought "Sakura do you want me to come with you tomorrow?" No one responded. Sakura was already fast asleep. Syaoran smiled and walked over to the couch and closed his eyes.

Next morning

Sakura woke up abruptly as she heard knocking on the door. "Come in." Sakura answered cheerfully, fixing her messy auburn brown hair. "Mae govannen Yukata. It's nice to see you again." Sakura stated with a smile on her face that seemed to light up the room. This time Yukata [aka Aduial Elen] was wearing modern clothing today. Although it still looked pretty creepy. Yukata was wearing her green cloak as usual and had a small smile on her face.

"Suilaid. It's nice to see you too. The others explained to me about the incident." Sakura blushed. "Now Sakura, please get up and get ready. We wouldn't want to show up late now would we? It's only us six going so please be quick. Time is not so forgiving." Yukata stated gracefully before leaving Sakura. 'I wonder where Syao-kun is.' Sakura shrugged that thought off when she picked up a white note and read it.

Hey Sakura

I'm sorry I couldn't stay to have breakfast. I have some important stuff to do. If you need anything just speed dial my number.

Syaoran

Downstairs

"Come on you guys. Let's go." Sakura said grimly walking down the stairs. Everyone nodded and walked outside. They were all wearing black of course. They were all wearing long black, pants that flared out at the bottom and black trench coats.

The journey to the cemetery was long, slow and silent. No-one spoke a word. It didn't matter if they were in separate cars or not. They just had to be silent. It was their duty to remain silent. Yukata sat in the passenger seat with Sakura. Although Sakura wanted to cry, she just knew she had to be strong. Sakura looked sideways and saw that Yukata was deep in thought.

'Should I have given up my only hope of returning home for my friends? Have I given up my only chance to see my dear, sweet prince again? This I am not sure. The one person that I have loved for all eternity shall never see me again nor will I see his smiling face. I mustn't regret the path I have chosen. But I can't help but think that I've failed him. I couldn't protect him from me. I should have looked away when I had the chance. One thing I don't regret though is falling in love with him. Please forgive me...' Yukata snapped out of her thoughts as the door slammed. "We're here." Sakura stated in a trance.

Woo Shin cemetery [made up]

[Skipping the praying stuff]

"Hey dad, mum, Touya." Sakura was holding back her tears. "All of us are here, just for you. I really wish you were alive. The world can be so cruel. I'm so sorry I didn't do anything to help you." Sakura finally burst into tears falling to the ground. Melinda, White, Tomoyo and Yukata helped her up. All the girls cried and hugged each other. "But, I promise you we'll all stay strong no matter what happens." Sakura sniffed wiping away her tears.

"Yukata decided to stay as well. Isn't that great?" Sakura asked. Yukata only frowned at that remark and sighed. All of the girls stopped crying and waited there silent. Yukata took off her cloak and revealed another exquisite dress. It was a long black dress, with sleeves that reached her elbows. Again, it was quite strange as she had pointy ears.

Uich gwennen na 'wanath ah na dhín.

An uich gwennen na ringyrn ambar hen.

Boe naid bain gwannathar

Boe cuil ban firitha

Boe near gwannathach.

Translation:

You are not bound to loss and silence.

For you are not bound to the circles of this world.

All things must pass away,

All life is doomed to fade...

Sorrowing you must go.

Yukata's soft, sweet, soothing voice echoed through the cemetery as she recited it. The other girls almost broke into tears, but knew they had to keep strong.

"Hiro hyn hyb ab wanath..." [may they find peace after death] Yukata whispered. These were the exact same people who had helped her so many years ago and now the only thing she could say was those words.

"Rest in peace." The girls whispered as they walked out of the cemetery with their heads down.

SechsKies headquarters

"Oh great! Blue Coyote is dead! What next Black Dragon?!" Wolf slammed his fist on a table. "It's only a matter of time before they hunt us down Wolf." Hawk warned. "Your right Hawk, we have to attack quickly." Silver added. "But how? We can't just offer ourselves to them. They'll think we're weak and attack us with full force. I can't take that risk again!.... I WON'T!" Wolf roared as he left the room. "HAWK, SUN! Follow me!" Wolf commanded. "SILVER, KYO, CYBER! TAKE CARE OF WHITE KIES AREA!" Wolf yelled and slammed the door closed.

SechsKies are divided into too parts 'Black Kies' – Wolf, Hawk, Sun and 'White Kies' – Silver, Kyo, Cyber.

"HAI!" White Kies shouted in unison. They ran out, started their black bikes and rode off.

How was that chappy? Tell me if anything is confusing or doesn't make any sense and I'll fix it up. ;D I'll try to upd8 soon. I updated l8 last time so this is to make up for it.
