Chapter two: Tomoyo's Story
"So explain. I want to know a bit more about this gang" Sakura said.
"Well, ok. It all started with me, Eriol and Syaoran. We were all raised on the..er..less fortunate side of town. Ok, where all the bums and hobos lived. Anyway, we were friends from the very beginning" Tomoyo started.
"But the three of you are so rich. I don't get it" Sakura said in a puzzled tone.
"Syaoran and Nakuru are both my cousins. We all went to live with a family friend, who just turned out to live there" Eriol explained.
"Yeah, and my mom was poor then. Dad walked out on us when I was four. So Mom was a wreck and I had to get away from that so I just walked around the streets. When I was out walking one night, I met Eriol and Syaoran, who were five then. There were drug dealers, gangs and criminals on these streets so we had to learn how to take care of ourselves. Nakuru must've been nine" Tomoyo looked at Nakuru.
"Uh-huh. It wasn't hard to get guns to practice and our fighting skills were taught by other gangs who felt sorry for us" Nakuru added.
"So anyway, we were taught how to drive at age eleven by the other gangs we befriended and crooks. Eriol's parents died when he was fourteen, so he inherited their gigantic fortune, and Syaoran's mother sent him quite a lot of money too. Nakuru was eighteen then so she could be their legal guardian" Tomoyo took a breath.
"But Tomoyo was still there. That's when we made Speeding Blade. Eriol and I returned to see her every day, Nakuru came sometimes too. Nakuru soon joined our gang. Then, a year later, Tomoyo's mom's business went way up, so she moved to our neighbourhood and started as a freshman at Reedington High. We were sophomores then" Syaoran said, taking over that part of the story.
"Then, Nakuru got into a spot of trouble with our rival gang, Blood Game. Touya and Yuki helped her out, and were later admitted into the gang" Tomoyo went on. "Then I moved in to this mansion"
"Yuki's here too?" Sakura asked.
"Hey Sakura, what are you doing here?" Yuki came into the room holding a box of cookies. Great timing.
"Just sit down and hear the rest of the story, we're up to the bit where you and Touya joined Speeding Blade" Yamazaki laughed.
"Moving on. About a month later, Meiling moved in with us from Hong Kong and joined up too. We all went back to tosser town and met Yamazaki there, who gave us a little help when we were fighting" Tomoyo said.
"Go on.." Meiling said.
"Fast forward a year and lots of fights later, Syaoran hits Sakura with his car by accident" Tomoyo paused because Sakura snorted. Syaoran just rolled his eyes. "And brought her back here, when Nakuru opened her big mouth, so Sakura was forced to join us or die"
"And?" Yuki urged.
"Er..the end?" Tomoyo questioned.
"Who's the leader of Speeding Blade?" Sakura asked softly.
Everyone exchanged glances with Tomoyo. "I am" she said.
"You'll have to get the Speeding Blade tattoo, show her, Tomoyo" Eriol told her.
She turned around and lifted her shirt up a bit, revealing a tattoo. It had two blades crossed over with an 'S' in the middle.
"I have to ring Dad" Sakura reached for the phone.
"Hey, Dad? It's Sakura..I'm fine..yeah..I'm staying over at, um, Naoko's place..mmm..ok, love you too, bye" she hung up. "All set"
"Great! Now you have to move in" Meiling beamed.
"There are eight people in this house already and I'm only seventeen, what about my exams?!" Sakura said.
"So? This place has seventeen bedrooms I can cartwheel at least four times across in, and I'm twenty-two, ten of them with ensuites. It's huge! As for your exams, you won't need to. You have no idea how much money we have from Syaoran, Eriol, Tomoyo and the club so it all adds up" Nakuru told her.
"Well..okay" Sakura bit her lip.
"Nakuru, Yuki and I are always out of town on business negotiations with other gangs" Touya said. "So we're only here one or two nights a month"
"We can start redecorating your room on the weekend" Tomoyo yawned before closing her eyes and quickly falling to a peaceful sleep while the others discussed Sakura's room plans.
Eriol, who noticed this, kissed her softly on the forehead and carried her upstairs to her room.
Nakuru sighed. "They are the cutest couple"
"I totally agree" Sakura added.
"They don't show it but they really do love each other. One wouldn't know what to do without the other" Meiling gushed.
The boys just rolled their eyes and made funny faces at them.

Tomoyo woke up the next morning with Eriol in her room, sleeping with his head on her shoulder. She smiled at his shirtless body and gorgeous face. She clamped her fingers on his nose so he'd wake up from lack of air. {LW/N – I do this to my brother, lol, it works}
"Whassat?" he said sleepily.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing in my room?" she asked sternly.
Eriol just grinned and embraced his girlfriend in a hug. She tried to shove his strong arms off.
"Piss off!" Tomoyo yelled.
Everyone who hear it shook their heads. Eriol just held her tighter. This time, Tomoyo just sighed and snuggled into his warm skin and closed her eyes. They snapped open again almost instantly.
"Shit! I have school!" Tomoyocursed, wriggling out of Eriol's grasp
"Don't go" he said.
"Just coz you've finished, lucky bastard" she laughed.
Tomoyo ran through the mansion screaming 'Wake-up!' before collapsing on the kitchen floor in a fit of giggles. The people awake, Yamazak, Syaoran, Yuki and Touya either raised an eyebrow at her or turned away, stifling a laugh.
"Girl, what's up with that?" Nakuru trudged into the kitchen, rubbing her eyes. "Syaoran, get me coffee" He glared at her but got her one anyway.
While Syaoran was busy, Sakura stumbled in and opened the fridge, oblivious to Syaoran behind her. When he turned around, the coffee spilled all over her her and her pyjamas.
"What the hell was that?" Sakura shrieked, holding her top out in front of her because of the steaming hot liquid.
"I was making coffee and you crashed into me" Syaoran said calmly.
"I think you just burnt my tits off!" she yelled.
A snort escaped Meiling and soon the rest of them cracked up laughing. Sakura and Syaoran glared daggers at each other, then Sakura stormed off, not happy at all.
"Oops" Syaoran shrugged as he started making another coffee.
Sakura came back down the stairs half an hour later in tight black jeans with a heart linked chain, a white and pink baseball shirt with 'Priss' written in pink glittery writing and pink sneakers. Her short hair was in pigtails. She looked refreshed and seemed to have forgotten about the previous incident.
"Do I look gangtsa or what?" Sakura beamed, turning in a circle.
"Hey Priss, more like gangsta gone sorority and stopped half way" Meiling laughed.
"Lose the chain, sweetie" Nakuru grinned and took a sip of her new-made coffee. Sakura pouted but detached the chain.
Meiling had baggy back jeans on and a maroon rib top that was ripped near the waist and repaied with safety pins. Tomoyo wore a black knee-length skirt with boots that had buckles all up them. A white collared button-up shirt was on top with a fitted black sweater over it with studs down the arms, leaving the unbuttoned cuffs and collar showing.
"Syaoran, take us to school. I'd ask my idiot of a boyfriend but he's still sleeping up in my room" Tomoyo ordered.
"Do I have a choice?" he asked with a blank expression, knowing full-well what the answer would be.
"What the fuck do you think?" Meiling said brightly.
"Fuck around with my car, and you'll wish you hadn't" Syaoran tossed them the keys. "I'll be down in a minute"
The girls grabbed their bags and opened Syaoran's car, all squishing themselves into the passenger seat of the two-seater jag. It ened up with Tomoyo sitting on Meiling and Sakura, who were each on the edgeof the seat. The seat belt looked funny around them all. When Syaoran came down, he burst out laughing at them, who gave him a ferocious beating. He just decided to take them to school without any more hassles. They piled out when he stopped at Reedington High.
"Bye Meiling, Tomoyo, Priss" Syaoran teased.
"Shut up" Sakura stuck out her tongue, hugged Meiling and Tomoyo. She talked to them for awhile before going to greet her friends with air-kisses.
"I thought you said they were bitches yesterday" Rika frowned.
"They aren't as bad as I thought" Sakura shrugged as they walked to homeroom.
"So suddenly they're all nice and good, my sister saw you shopping with them yesterday for ages" Naoko said.
"Yeah? Well, I'm sorry if I sound rude here, but I don't care what you think and it's none of your concern who I hang out with in my free time" Sakura said politely.
The four girls trudged through the rest of the day in a blur, and were especially relieved when the day was over.
"Ahh, finally" Naoko said happily. "Freedom"
"Oh, there's Meiling and Tomoyo, I'm walking home with them. Bye" Sakura said before turning away.
Rika grabbed her arm gently. "Sakura, I don't really know how to say this but.."
"We don't hink you should hang out with those girls anymore" Chiharu told her. "Quit while you're ahead"
"Why?" Sakura frowned.
"They're.." Naoko tried to search for the right word.
"In a gang"
"Slutty"
"Trashy"
"You have no idea what you're talking about!" Sakura raised her voice.
"I mean, look at your jeans. You haven't worn anything black for years, except at a funeral" Rika pointed out. "And look at the clothes they wear"
"Yeah, they look like hoes and I bet they act even worse" Chiharu said disgustedly.
"You three have probably slept with more guys than they have" Sakura narrowed her eyes.
"Sakura, you know Rika and I have only slept with one guy and Chiharu's done it with two" Naoko said softly.
"Whatever. I am so not having this conversation with you" Sakura snapped before she stomped off to meet Meiling and Tomoyo.
"Hey Priss, what's up?" Meiling asked.
"Nothing. Everything's fine! How are you guys?" Sakura plastered on a smile.
"Meh. Tei from Chemistry asked me out" Tomoyo shrugged.
"He's so gorgeous! But not as gorgeous as Eriol. You two are perfect together" Sakura replied.
"Too bad you're so mean to him" Meiling laughed.
"Hey, have you..ever..you know..with Yamazaki and Eriol?" Sakura asked.
"What? No! I mean, they want it, of course, but Meiling and I are virgins" Tomoyo said.
"At least until our seventeenth birthdays!" Meiling slapped Tomoyo a high-five and they all laughed.
"So the big day's gonna on your seventeenth birthdays? Hmm..I'm still a virgin and I'm seventeen. I guess I'm waiting for the right guy" Sakura said.
Suddenly, Eriol's McLaren F1 pulled up beside them and they squashed into the car. Again.
"Hey sexy" Tomoyo said to her boyfriend.
He looked at her through hhis sunglasses and raised an eyebrow. "That's the nicest thing you've said to me in six days" Eriol said. Meiling and Sakura cracked up.
"Hey, don't push it" Tomoyo gave him a smile, putting on the seatbelt.
