"I know you're there." Li called out to the dark empty room.

Sakura was there. They were in the storage room. She was thankful the room was dark. She had hid behind a few boxes. She tried to calm down her heavy, scared breathing. Perspiration ran down her face and neck. Her emerald eyes were wide with fear.

"Make this easier, won't you?" Li said calmly and he snuck up to the boxes she was pressed against.

He got out the daggers but she had heard. She jumped out of the way just as soon as he had made a big dent in the box with his dagger.

"Found you." He said and advanced towards her.

She reacted quick and got up and ran. Her body was tired, her mind was racing and so was her heart. He was an assassin, was all she figured out. He was playing cat and mouse with her. This was all a game to him.

"I can hear you," he whispered, which was oddly close to her ear.

She stopped running and spun around and saw that he was right behind her. She tried turning back to run but he held her back with a firm grip.

He pulled her up close to him, "Now where do you think you're going?"

"Let go!"

"Now why would I do that, princess?" he smirked back. This is your chance Li. Kill her.

"You bastard!" she screamed, "Once my father finds out about this, you'll be rotting in hell!"

"Who said he was going to find out?" he spat menacingly.

"W-what are you going to do?" Sakura stuttered.

She tried backing away but his grip wouldn't allow that. She felt her eyes build a barrier of unshed tears. She was determined not to cry. She bit hard on his hand, which drew the metallic taste to enter her mouth. He screamed in agony and she saw this as her chance to escape.

"Watch out. I'm going to get you." he said with a dark tone, his eyes had turned into a dark hate.

"Oh god." Sakura whispered as she rushed down the stairs, fumbling for her keys. She found them in her pocket as she reached ground level. She took the card attached to her key and swiped it quickly.

She ran out into the night air but didn't stop there. She ran to where her car was parked and quickly got in. She didn't dare look back due to fear he was behind her…

Little did she know he was standing on the top of the building. He stood close to the edge, looking down. The building wasn't that high, which gave him a clear view of what was down below. He saw her run frantically to her car.

Such a beautiful one. What a waste to kill her.

His hair was swishing around with the wind, so was his coat. He continued to watch her.

I'll make her mine…

His dark eyes filled with jealousy of the thought of anyone touching her. He gripped the hilt of his dagger so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

I'll kill anyone that hurts her.

His over-protectiveness over her surprised him. She wasn't like any other woman he met…she was more than that.

And he was sure to make her be with him…

"Tomoyo!?" Sakura screamed in the phone. Her fear took over and she was scared as hell.

"Sakura! What happened?" Tomoyo asked worriedly. The tone of Sakura's voice was urgent and scared.

"Someone's after me…someone wants me dead." She cried into the phone.

"D-dead?" Tomoyo repeated.

"I'm so scared, he was chasing me in the building and I'm sure he works for him." Sakura said and emphasized the word 'him' with such hatred.

"Oh my god. I'll be right over." Tomoyo said and Sakura was about to reply when she heard the dial tone in her ear.

"Please don't make this real. Please don't make this real." Sakura said rocking back and forwards, repeating it over again.

Just then she heard the phone ring. She picked it up, "Moshi moshi?"

"Hello my princess." a familiar voice said.

"Oh no…How did you get my number?" Sakura quietly asked, her voice barely audible.

"You must be forgetting what I am. I have sources you know," he mocked in reply.

"What do you want with me? What have I done?" she sobbed in the phone.

"You know, Sakura, it would make it easier if you'd just be mine…you love your family right?" Li said tauntingly.

"Why? What are you going to do with them," she whispered, frightened.

"Oh you'll see…but if you don't want me to inflict any harm on them, just listen to what I say." Li smirked.

"Y-you b-bastard!" Sakura yelled into the phone and hanged up before anything else came out of his dirty mouth.

"SAKURA!" a feminine voice shouted from outside her door. Seconds later, the door barged down and there stood Tomoyo panting and her bodyguards by her side.

"Tomoyo!" Sakura shouted and ran into her best friend's hug, "He's coming after me…he's gonna kill me."

"Who?!" Tomoyo asked hurriedly with worry.

"I don't know…I don't know what he wants." Sakura said, doing her rocking back and forth motion again.

"Shh…don't worry, Sakura. Nothing will happen." Tomoyo comforted and gave the crying Sakura a motherly embrace.

A pair of dark eyes watched them from the window. His hair was windblown and his form was sitting on a tree branch, just watching her.

He had seen her cry when he called her. He had seen the way fear crossed through her eyes when she heard his voice. And he loved every bit of it. But when he saw Tomoyo hugging Sakura and Sakura shouting her name, his eyes turned an unfathomable dark and he tried to hold back the jealousy and anger.

He clenched his fist, stopping himself from smashing the glass window that stood between him and the pair. He slowly played with his daggers; drawing drops of blood from his fingers.

He looked at them again and saw that Sakura was sleeping nice and sound and Tomoyo was about to exit the room, "Looks like someone wants to die tonight."

With that, he jumped from the tree and went to the front gate to welcome Tomoyo. In the dark, they couldn't see him. The bodyguards looked weak; even though they're bulky bodies didn't give it away.

He quickly sneaked up on one and swiftly landed a knife in the back of his throat, gaining a howl of pain before the man dropped dead on the ground, surrounded by his own blood. He quickly did the same to the rest.

He saw the girl Tomoyo gasp in fear and shock as the dead bodies lay down on the floor. She looked up and saw him and let out a piercing scream. He quickly clasped his hand over her mouth to stop any further noises.

"Speak one more word and you won't have a head attached to your neck anymore." he spoke menacingly.

She nodded slowly.

"Now, I saw you with Sakura. Stay away from her if you know what's good for you. I won't have anyone touching her. Not you, not anyone else. Consider this a warning, next time you won't be so lucky." he spat as he released her and concealed himself in the night.

She backed away slowly and got into the limo that was awaiting her and sped off…

The next day wasn't so pleasant for Sakura. She felt as if eyes were watching her. She kept spinning around seeing if anyone was but to her embarrassment, no one was there. She was stressed through work and everyone was worried.

By noon, she had gotten so stressed she decided to take an early lunch break. She had a choice between McDonalds or the Chinese Food restaurant few blocks away.

"Chinese it is." she said and sped off in her car.

The eyes that were watching her quickly followed her to her destination. He watched with his cold brown eyes as she entered the restaurant.

Li wasn't a man to stalk people. But she was different. He followed her in, but stayed a distant when she took her seat. He wanted to make sure she was left untouched. But his wish was left not granted, as he saw her embracing a man not much older than he.

He had a deep, dark shade of blue that glistened in the sunlight and piercing blue eyes that could look through you.

His eyes filled with rage as the man left a kiss on her ivory cheek. He watched with anger as they spoke and her laugh at his jokes and how her eyes shimmered with happiness.

He had watched the whole ordeal and they stood up from their meals and him pay for her food. She bowed a 'thank you' and gave him a dazzling smile.

This man was going down.

Sakura had left and the man he had saw was also leaving so Li stood up, following the man…

Looks like this man's life was going to end today.
