BLEEDING ANGEL
AN: I do not own Card Captor Sakura
Chapter 1
I closed my eyes as I leaned back into the dark shadows and listened to the loud echoing footsteps. The urge to surprise the two fools filled my mind, but my body protested the idea.
I was tiered, so damn tiered.
Maybe I should meet them, maybe I should… Their mumbles became clearer, the footsteps louder and the clinking of metal called my name. The soft whisper of the metal washed in my blood and I longed to feel the cold hard confiding of it.
Fool! What a fool I am! I long for the one thing I hate the most, the one thing that…
"We have to get him. The bounty is ten times that of the girl we got the other day."
"Don't remind me about her." The second male voice complained with bitterness. "I still have nightmares about that girl."
"Ha-ha! Did the little girl give you a fright?"
"Laugh all you want Matt, but that girl is dangerous. Her temper is as fierce as those emerald eyes of her."
"Yeah, Kinomoto is a force to be reckoned with."
My eyes snapped open at the name and I felt the word I cherished the most form on my lips. My eager gaze fell on the two men as they passed me.
"They will be a fine pare in Tswane Prison. The man of hell himself, and the girl from hell. A fine pair."
The two men's eyes darted around the large cold cave and the one adjusted the large net thrower in his hands. The electric net winked at me. They come as of they are hunting a wild animal. I smirked to myself. That's right, they believe me to be a wild animal… A vicious, wild animal. I closed my eyes once more.
How long has it been? Four years? No more, I can't recall anymore. Though…
She haunts me.
"I know you can break free of these chains easily. Why is it that you choose to stay?" I opened one eye to look at the tracker hovering in front of me. Her ruby eyes looked inquiringly down at me and she flicked a lock of her space black hair from her shoulder. I allowed the other eye to open and to run down her well built body shown off in a tight human styled shirt and pants. Chinese style I believe the shirt was, I'm not sure. Humans have so many cultures that it's difficult to keep track of them along with the rest of the universe. She lifted a dark eyebrow at me when she saw me admiring her body.
Heavens! How long has it been since I last had a body like that close to me? Way to long for any man's comfort and sanity, no matter what the species. I closed my eyes again and leaned back into my relatively comfortable seat.
"Done staring?"
"The heavens know you're annoying Meiling." Damn trackers. It's bad enough that her race exists, and now this rouge one has turned bounty hunter as well.
"Not so much as you. Six years, why now? What's the motivation?" She crossed her arms and leaned against the wall. The stubborn woman stared at me as she waited for my answer. I didn't answer her and she grinned knowingly at me. Damn tracker. Now that's one planet and race I wouldn't mind seeing disappear. Then again… I watched her lovely curves and long hair sway. She does make life more interesting. "Just so you know. She's not a little girl anymore." She disappeared behind the sliding metal doors just as a sigh escaped me.
"I know." Oh how I know it. How I longed for it. How I longed for the day she would grow up, when she will be a woman and not a girl anymore. How I longed…
And how I cursed. How I cursed my weakness. How I cursed her for making me weak. How I cursed that girl. I had to leave. I had to! To protect her. To protect her form all that haunts me every day and to protect her… form myself. I moved my arms to cover my face with my hands and fond the bounds digging into my flesh.
Meiling's right. I could easily break free of these pathetic excuses of cuffs. They still have to invent any sort of devise that can hold me. I sighed. I might as well make myself comfortable.
The girl is not going to be too happy to see me.
I rolled my eyes at the crowd of men surrounding me. Dirty scoundrels, the lot of them. But then again, I suppose it's what you get in a place like this. A god forsaken planet that literally burns as soon as the sun's rays touched the ash surface, and a boiling interior that makes the warmest summer day on earth seem like a pleasant experience. My feet felt unpleasantly warm as I tapped the tip of my boot on the rocky black ground.
The trip down here has been uneventful enough. Meiling sure knows how to choose her crew. If the pilot's timing had been off with one second we would have found ourselves melted together with the rest of that junk pile they call a spaceship. Come to think of it, the pilot wasn't bad looking.
Shoulder length raven hair with purple tips, smooth pale skin and daring lavender eyes. Man, I would love to touch that piece of work. She must be from earth, only the god there make women as tempting as her. I nearly laughed out loud. What was it? What that man said to me? Oh yeah. Women from earth are the only things in the entire universe that can make a man go insane with burning lust. How true those words are.
"Have you even been listening to us?" I turned my attention to the man who seemed to be the leader of the little gang.
"No. I'm just passing through, so your silly rules don't apply to me." The man growled and tightened his grip on the metal bar.
"It's impossible to get out. No man or woman has ever escaped Tswane. No one!"
"If you say so." My eyes moved to the questioning faces staring down at me. Thieves, gangsters, rapists, murderers… general filth from all the different planets stared down at me. Along with one girl. One single girl who haunted me ever since I knew her.
AN: As you just read, a totally new story. The entire story will be from this person's point of view. It's totally sci-fi, just like the movies, but different like you probably have noticed. And like I warned, sexual content. The narrator is a man – what did you expect? No offence to any male readers, especially to those I know.
Enjoy the second chapter.
Thank you.

PS. The name Tswane is a real name. I don't know if we do have a Tswane Prison here in South Africa, but it is a name I got from here.
