Syaoran's Angels
Chapter 5: All Out Angel Assault
Sakura looked wistfully at the glass case holding the book one last time and knew that she would rather give up the artefact then see innocent people get slaughtered. Taking a deep breath, she made her choice.
Meiling sprinted as fast as she could to the exhibition room and gritted her teeth as she heard the sound of gunshots.
"Sakura, I'm coming!" she yelled as she put on an extra spurt of speed.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Tomoyo gasped seeing the situation in the exhibition room. Yanking off her headphones, she slammed her laptop shut and shoved it into her bag. She got up hurriedly and ran to door.
She grabbed the doorknob and tried to yank it open.
"Chink," the door made a strange noise.
Tomoyo glared at the door and jiggled the knob.
"Chink, chink."
It was locked. Tomoyo stared at the door in shock.
Tomoyo suddenly screamed in frustration and kicked the door.
"Chink."
Tomoyo stood back and landed two hefty kicks on the door.
"OPEN!" she roared.
"BANG! BANG!"
Two more kicks landed but still the door stood.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Sakura charged the unsuspecting commandos from behind and took out two before they even noticed her.
"Kill her!" the leader roared as he continued firing at the security guards who by now were hiding behinds the walls in fear as bullets slammed into the walls and floors spraying everyone with broken chips of marble and plaster.
"You wish," Sakura snarled as she punched another commando in the face and hurled him at his teammates.
Amidst the ensuring confusion, Sakura continued her attack lashing out with both feet and fists at anybody within her rage. None of the commandos could shoot her without hitting one of their own.
"I'll do it!" the leader snapped.
The commandos crawled away to safety leaving Sakura to face the gun all by herself. Sakura's eyes widened as the commando sneered at her.
"Uh uh, I don't think so," a familiar voice said.
A hand tapped his shoulder as the command whirled around in time to see a fist come crashing into his face.
"Meiling!" Sakura gaped at her friend.
"I'm here and ready to fight!"
Grinning at each other, Sakura and Meiling got to work working together in perfect synchronisation to fight the remaining commandos. They were amazing, Meiling punched one of the commandos and whirled around to kick another as Sakura finished off the commando Meiling had punched and Meiling elbowed a commando who was sneaking up behind the American Angel.
"Delta Team! We need backup! I repeat we need backup!" one of the commandos roared into his radio.
Both Angels growled as they prepared themselves for a long battle ahead.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
In another part of the museum far away from the fighting, a door trembled as a powerful force slammed into it over and over again. Muffled curses could be heard as the banging became stronger.
"BANG!"
Finally the door banged open to reveal an extremely angry Japanese girl. Tomoyo gave the door one last venomous glare before sprinting off to join her friends in battle.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
"Sakura! Get the book! I'll hold them off!" Meiling roared.
Moving swiftly she took out the rest of Team Beta as Sakura raced towards the glass case.
"Freeze!" the security guards had come out of their hiding and were now pointing their guns at Sakura. Their hands trembled violently as they tried to put on a brave face.
Meiling rolled her eyes.
"So now you come out?" she asked.
The head security guard opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by another explosion. Meiling shielded her face as another smoking hole was creating. Fresh commandos poured into the exhibition room. The security guards hurriedly ran back to the safety of the walls.
"Cowards," Meiling sneered as she faced the new commandos.
Risking a look backwards she could see Sakura was almost to the book.
"Cut her off," one of the commandos commanded.
Gunfire sprayed the ground as Sakura leapt up into the air dodging the bullets. She landed and immediately rolled away behind a pillar.
"Get the book," the leader commanded.
Four commandos immediately moved into action as the rest of their team faced Meiling.
"Get rid of her."
Meiling leapt into the air as bullets hit the ground and walls. Twisting her body in mid-air she kicked one of the commandos heavily in the chest.
"Wow, ten onto one," a voice said behind the commandos, "Let's even the odds out shall we?"
Tomoyo joined the brawl as Meiling smirked and attacked. She heard gunshots in the background and hope Sakura was holding her own.
Meiling needn't had worried. Sakura easily evaded the bullets and got to work.
"ARRRGGGGHHHHH!!" Sakura let out a fierce war cry as she lunged at the commandos.
She leapt to the ground and swept two commandos off their feet as she leapt up and punched another. She immediately moved into a flip as the other commando tried to fire at her. The shots went wild as Sakura timed her last flip so her legs hit his shoulder and bringing her legs together she wrapped them around the man's neck.
Lifting herself up she straddled the man's shoulder and punched him in the head and smiled in satisfaction as he collapsed.
"HIYA!" Sakura leapt up and spun around kicking another commando in the chest.
The other two jumped up and fired at her as Sakura raced to the other side of the room to dodge them. Seeing a pillar she ran up the smooth marble column as bullets sprayed the hard tiles beneath her. She leapt off the pillar and spun around in mid-air before kicking both men with all the power she had. They were sent flying into the glass displays and thankfully remained still.
Sakura blew on her nails and polished them on her clothes.
"And the score is Sakura four, enemy nothing!" she smirked before turning back to her prize.
Meiling was sent flying as the commando tackled her. She crashed into the glass cabinet and groaned in pain.
"MEILING!" Tomoyo yelled as she walloped another commando in the gut, "Are you okay?"
"Dandy," Meiling grumbled as she levered herself from the debris.
She reached backwards to push herself onto her feet again but stopped as she felt something long, hard and... sharp. Meiling grinned.
"Ooo... shiny," she cooed as she picked up the ancient sword that had been lying in the glass cabinet.
It may have been over a thousand year old sword but it was still just as sharp and just as deadly as the day it was forged.
"I think you've got a too bigger ego. Let me cut you down to size," Meiling smirked to the commando who had tackled her.
Expertly she twirled the sword in her hands and chopped at the commando grimacing as the metal bounced off his Kevlar gearing.
"Stupid Kevlar," she growled.
She swung it around at head height and as the man ducked, kneed him in the face. He collapsed with a howl of pain as Meiling whirled and wielded her sword expertly preparing herself for a fresh wave of attacks.
Sakura knelt down and picked up one of the guns the commandos had dropped and used the butt of it to smash the glass casing. The alarms went off but Sakura ignored it and grabbed the book instead.
Smiling to herself, she unzipped the pack she wore on her back and slipped the book inside. Making sure the book was secure she whirled around.
"I've got it!" she yelled, "Let's go!"
Meiling and Tomoyo nodded as they hurried to get rid of the commandos.
"Sorry boys time for us to go," Tomoyo smirked as Meiling knelt down on the ground.
Tomoyo ran at her partner and placed her hands on Meiling's shoulders and lifted herself up into the air. She kicked the final three commandos and jumped down as they flew through the air and hit the wall. With a final moan they slumped down to the ground and all was silent except for the sound of the ringing alarms.
"Au revoir," Meiling waved at the knocked out commandos as Sakura joined them.
"Got it?"
"You bet."
"Let's go."
The three Angels pushed through the crowd of stunned security guards standing in the doorway and raced out of the museum.
Finally the security guards gathered their wits and began frantically yelling down their radios for the police and military to come and help them.
It was only a long time later they remembered that the book had been stolen and by then Victoria, Madison and Cherry Avalon were sitting in a first class seat on a non-stop flight to America.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Hayden laughed wildly as Lilia slammed down her mobile phone onto the desk. She shot him a look of disgust as Hayden sniggered.
"How did it go?" he asked smoothly.
Lilia gritted her teeth.
"Not well."
Arching an eyebrow Hayden put on his most patronising smile.
"Oh dear, I wonder how the boss would react to this little news..." he sighed, "And how are we going to get poor Rika out of jail?"
Lilia sat down at her desk and glared at him from across the ebony desk.
"This is all your fault," she snarled, "if you hadn't lost that disk..."
"But you assured the boss you could fix this little problem. You said leave it to me and everything will turn out all right," Hayden smirked, "so how are our Special Task Teams?"
Lilia silently seethed and glared at her partner.
"Are they all in jail?" Hayden sighed, "Well, well this is going to be interesting."
"What do you mean?" Lilia snapped.
"How are you ever going to explain to our boss that three of our Special Task Teams are now cooling their heels in prison? Do you have any idea how much it will cost to bribe officials to get them out?"
Lilia glared at him with vicious loathing.
"We're both at fault here," she reminded him.
"That's why I think we should put ourself our bickering and work together for once," Hayden said getting to the point, "It's the only way we can fix this little problem."
"Fine," Lilia growled.
"First we need to get our little assassin out of jail."
Lilia shuddered thinking about Rika's blank eyes but she beat down her fear and disgust and nodded her consent.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
"Well, good job Angels on getting the book and you also managed to get yourselves on French National TV," Syaoran told his three Angels.
Meiling grinned as Sakura and Tomoyo giggled.
"But down to business. The book of Fei Lao Shi, which you have managed to obtain, is actually part of a series of three. According to legends there were three such books created, the other two is still out there somewhere and my sources tell me that Spinnel Corporation is interested in the other two as well. On the desk in front of you is three red files with the necessary information about each book."
The girls picked up the folders and opened it. They flipped through the pages glancing at the description of each book.
"So where are the other two?" Meiling asked.
"We're not quite sure as of yet. One book hasn't been heard since the collapse of the Ming Dynasty of China and the other has been recently discovered in recent times but its true location has been kept secret to protect the book from thieves."
"So what?" Meiling demanded, "We can't do anything until we find out where the books are?"
"Yes," Syaoran said mildly.
Meiling growled under her breath as Sakura and Tomoyo looked at each other.
"Why do I have the feeling Spinnel Corporation know where the books are?" Tomoyo asked voicing her worries.
"There is nothing we can do about it. I will keep an eye on the Corporation for you girls until I have further information there is nothing we can do."
Sakura nodded slowly.
"I will speak to you later, goodbye Angels."
"Bye Syaoran."
The speaker box went silent as Sakura got up.
"Since there's nothing we can do I'm going home," Sakura told her partners.
Meiling nodded her head.
"I don't like this we have no idea what to do next and Spinnel Corporation is probably a step ahead of us by now," Meiling sighed and got up as well.
Tomoyo nodded.
"Well, what can we do about it?" she asked shrugging.
Sakura and Meiling nodded glumly and left as Tomoyo followed them. Stepping onto the footpath outside each of the girls went their separate ways.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Sakura unlocked her door and sighed wearily before throwing her keys onto the glass table standing in the hallway.
She ran her hands through her hair as she rummaged through the envelopes sitting on her table.
Junk. Junk. Junk. Bills. More junk and...
"What's this?" she frowned seeing a pink envelope.
Sakura frowned at the address and broke the seal on the letter. Taking out a sheet of paper Sakura glanced at its contents.
"Oh my god," she gasped, "I don't believe it."
She stood there staring at the letter in shock for a few minutes but was snapped out of her shocked silence by the sound of her phone ringing. Glancing at the clock, she wondered who would be calling her up so late. It was probably a call from Syaoran telling her to get back to the office.
"Hello?" she asked picking up the phone.
"Sakura, can you pick me up at the airport?"
Sakura gasped.
"Dad?!"
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Tomoyo parked her car into her garage and walked into her spacious, luxurious mansion-like house. Sighing gratefully she shrugged off her jacket and put her laptop down onto her table.
Even thought it was a little after eleven, Tomoyo didn't feel the slightest bit tired. Adrenaline still pumped through her veins and she knew even if she did go to bed she would never be able to get to sleep.
With a small smile on her face, Tomoyo went to get changed. She stopped in front of her phone and wondered briefly if she should ring either Meiling or Sakura but decided that it was too late and both girls would have gone to sleep by now.
As she walked down the hallway Tomoyo checked herself out in the mirror hanging on the wall.
"Perfect for a night out," she grinned.
Picking up her keys again she went into the garage and soon drove off.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Meiling dumped her bags down beside her doorway and stifled a yawn as she went into her living room. Even thought she was dog-tired there was something she had to do.
"The book of Fei Lao Shi," she mused as she walked up to the large bookcase standing in front of one of the walls.
She let her hands trail over the spine of the books on her bookcase as she glanced up and down looking through the mess for the book she wanted.
"Here it is," she said taking out an old book written in Chinese.
Undoing the buns on her head, she walked into her bedroom and changed quickly before slipping under the covers. Propping herself up on the pillows she opened the book and began reading about the history of the three ancient books they were trying to find.
But even as Meiling tried to maintain her focus her eyelids began drooping and it wasn't long before she was fast asleep.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Eriol watched from the safety of his car as Tomoyo stepped out from hers. He smiled to himself congratulating himself for being able to tail the girl all the way from her house to here without being spotted.
His eyes looked at her appreciatively liking the way she dressed. The dark blue shirt she wore although it revealed quite a bit it still left a lot to the imagination. The leather pants she wore hugged her tightly revealing nicely developed legs. She wore a little make-up just in enough to highlight all her best features, her lovely lavender-coloured eyes and her delicate cheekbones.
Eriol snarled at himself for getting distracted and checked himself in the mirror. Mentally he reviewed his master plan again, he had to seduce Tomoyo and make her trust him. When she allowed him into her life and home that's when he will strike. He smiled coolly as he thought about the reward he will receive for completing this job.
Putting on his most charming smile he got out of his car and followed Tomoyo into the bar.
Weaving her way through the noisy crowd, Tomoyo made her way to the bar. She sat down on one the stools and flashed the bartender her most charming smile.
"What can I get you, miss?" the bartender smiled at her.
"Orange juice, please," Tomoyo said knowing she had to drive home later.
The bartender nodded and went to get her drink. Tomoyo watched the packed bar as the bartender set her drink down.
Out of the corner of her eye she saw someone throwing a twenty-dollar note onto the bar.
"I'll pay for her, thanks," a warm male voice said, "And get me a scotch."
The bartender nodded and picked up the note as he went to get the man's drink.
"Thanks," Tomoyo said coolly, "But I really don't nee..."
She stopped and blushed seeing the man's face.
"Fancy seeing you here," the blue-haired man said with a charming grin.
Tomoyo just smiled at him and sipped her drink.
"Tomoyo, isn't it?"
"Yeah and you're Eriol, right?"
Eriol smiled.
"I'm impressed."
The bartender set down his drink as Eriol sat down beside her. They sat in silence for a while before Tomoyo spoke up.
"So what do you do?" she asked glancing up at him.
"I'm a businessmen," Eriol said smoothly, "And you?"
"I'm a designer," Tomoyo said wickedly.
"Do you design your own clothes?" Eriol asked glancing at her shirt.
Tomoyo nodded. There was a silence again.
"So at the risk of sounding like an idiot, care to dance?"
"Why not?" Tomoyo grinned grabbing his hand and yanking him up.
Tomoyo laughed happily as Eriol smiled seeing her so happy. The song ended and a slow, romantic one came up. Tomoyo expertly placed her hands on Eriol's shoulders as he gripped her waist. They swayed to the music and stared at each other's eyes. Almost unknowingly their faces inched closer together.
Suddenly Eriol pulled Tomoyo closer to him and place his lips over hers. Tomoyo hugged his neck tightly as they kissed long and hard.
Tomoyo let out a small sigh as Eriol broke the kiss and stared at her.
"Wow," he murmured.
"What?" Tomoyo asked him with a small smile.
"Nothing."
Before they knew it they were kissing again. Eriol and Tomoyo's eyes were closed as they simply enjoyed the kiss and the emotions swirling in their minds and the feelings in their bodies.
Tomoyo felt as though her body was on fire as Eriol hugged her closer to his body. She hugged him back as she smiled against his lips. Suddenly Eriol's eyes snapped opened and he stared at the beautiful girl standing in front of him and felt his heart skip a beat.
No, this shouldn't be happening. I shouldn't be doing this! his mind screamed at him telling him to stop.
But he merely shut his eyes again and enjoyed the kiss and the emotions he was feeling.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Uh oh... Tomoyo and Eriol kissing? But Eriol is supposed to kill Tomoyo! Somehow I think his plan is backfiring on him big time. But what happens in the end? Will love triumph or will Tomoyo despise him when she finds out the truth? Ahh... suspense don't you love it?
Next chapter:
Sakura is shocked to find her father, Fujitaka, has returned suddenly from his archaeological dig in Tibet. But she is even more stunned when she finds out that Fujitaka knows the location of the second book! How can she get her father to tell her where it is when he has express orders not to tell anyone and how can she tell him she's an Angel? And what is in the content of that strange letter? All this happens in... Cherry Blossom.
A/Note: I will refuse to add another chapter until I get ten more reviews (yes, I'm evil!)! Anyway the next few chapters would take a while to put up since school is starting again for me so be patient.
Also in the next chapter, which will probably come out in the next two to three weeks will also include a competition! The winner(s) will have the chance to create a character, which will be included in the story. So keep an eye out for that!
