Ok guys I really hope that you like my story. If you don't, too bad because it's mine to write and I decide where it goes. Please R&R even flames are welcome.

A pair of emerald eyes fluttered open and suddenly snapped back shut. "It's so bright" she groaned. "I thought I closed that curtain last night before I went to bed."

"You did" Claimed a soft tender voice, making Sakura open her eyes again. "I opened it hoping it would wake you up sooner."

Sakura smiled at her mother who was sitting at the foot of the bed. Everything about her was perfect. She had beautiful emerald eyes (that Sakura acquired) and long flowing black hair that fell just above her butt. Every move that she made was graceful and effortless. Her body was well built which made sense to Sakura; anyone who worked in her profession would have a good body.

"I didn't expect you to wake me up today" Sakura said with a smile as she stretched. "It's Saturday."

"I know but I thought we could spend the day together, you me and your father." Her mother smiled. "We haven't done that in a long time what with work... Anyway, I thought it would be fun to go to the park, then the movies and then out for a nice family dinner."

"I would love that!" Sakura jumped out of bed and hugged her mother. Then she paused still in her mom's embrace. "Are you sure that you can take the time off work though. I looked up those names that you asked me to and I think we need to lay low..."

"Don't you worry about them," Her mom cut her off. "They aren't any match for your father and I." Sakura gave her a look making her mother smile. "Fine, fine, fine, since you insist, we'll go armed."

"Thank you, you know that makes me feel better."

"Good I'm glad. Now then you get dressed right away. Breakfast is in 30 minuets. Be down there at 9:30 sharp or we'll eat without you." With that she left the room and closed the door.

Sakura smiled to herself as she got into the shower. 'It's not always easy being their daughter but times like this make up for everything else.'

Her mother and father are leaders of the top gang in Japan, the Dragons. They have a total of about 50 members. Some living in the mansion with her family, but most of the members live away so that it isn't easy for other people to come in and wipe out the whole gang. Everyone in Japan likes the Dragons. They stand up for the little people and what is right. But other gangs don't like them. They control most of the trade and shipping docks around Japan and that is the goal of almost every gang. Right now the Dragons are at war with the Griffins. It was dangerous just to go outside. But that didn't much matter to Sakura, she was used to danger.

Her parents started the gang when she was only 4 and she has grown up knowing how to be cautious. Most of the people around her, helped raise her. Ever since the gang started she has been involved in one way or another. She first got involved with her training, which involved 4 hrs. a day of fighting, 2 hrs. of meditation, 6 hrs. for her studies, the rest of the day was for meals, play and sleep. To anyone else it would seem like a lot but as she got older she grew to love it even more. On her 10th birthday she got her first gun. Everyone laughed at the fact that a 10 year old had a gun but she turned out to be a natural. When she turned 11 she was sent to public school for the first time. She was attending the middle school on the condition that she never said what her parents did. They had a lie all worked out for her to tell everyone, her mom was a lawyer and her dad was a doctor.

As long as she kept quiet she could stay in a public school and she would start getting "jobs". They were little at first, like looking up people on the computer to get their background, or entering other things into the computer. But as she got older her jobs got steadily more exciting.

She eventually became known as the computer wiz of the gang. After all, it was where she started out. She could navigate her way around any site and database put in front of her. Although her parents didn't encourage "hacking" into major governmental sights, they understood that it was sometimes necessary and only allowed her to do it. She was the best and they trusted her more then anyone.

She was so good at computers and gadgets, that they even introduced her to Pedro. He was Spanish, and lived almost halfway around the world, but he was the best. If anyone needed something with major security, they went to him. He had designed thousands of security systems for different people all over the world, and that includes the government. Sakura met the man when she was 13 on their family vacation to Spain. He was supposed to baby-sit her while her parents were at a convention, and that's where their relationship started.

Flashback

A 13 year old Sakura is sitting in a room, staring at the wall, with a 21 year old Pedro looking over a gadget at his desk.

He had jet black hair, deep blue eyes, and a charming smile but he really didn't like the fact that he had to watch this girl. Baby-sitting was a job for a teenage girl, but he owed the Kinomotos a favor and so was stuck watching her.

She suddenly stood up and walked over to the wall that she had been staring at. Pedro looked up briefly and then looked back down at the gadget.

Sakura continued to stare at the wall. The fireplace was exquisite and had a very elaborate mantel. She continued to stare at it, not touching anything, and then slowly walked along side it and out the door. Pedro took little notice of her actions as he was consumed by his thoughts of how to unlock the damn thing in his hands.

Sakura walked back in the room and strait over to his desk. "What's behind that wall?" She asked in a sugary sweet tone.

Pedro looked at her and then at the wall. "Nothing, now be quiet I need to unlock this thing." He stated in an irritated voice.

Sakura looked at the thing in his hands and watched what he did for about 5 minutes. Suddenly she grabbed the thing out of his hand and walked over to the window. She gazed at the sundial in the garden below and then twisted the top to match the sun's shadow.

There was a low click and she handed it back to him. "Now tell me what is behind that wall." She stated again sweeter this time.

Pedro stared at her amazed. "I told you nothing." He said totally confused. "How did you do that?"

Sakura sighed and pointed to the side of the gadget. "This symbol is the Amazonian sign for eternity. Now obviously this thing wasn't created in the Amazonian times so here it isn't meant to show eternity but time. These markings on the top show that you need to turn the top to match that of a sundial, or of the hands on a watch. There is a pocket watch inside so when the top is turned to match the hands of the watch exactly, it will unlock for that minute. Therefore at 12:00 exactly it is always unlocked, if you don't move the hands."

Pedro continued to stare at her in disbelief. He had just been shown up by a thirteen year old. He watched her walk over to the wall she had been staring at earlier and watched her do something to the fireplace. Suddenly a trap door opened that he never knew was there. "You should really take a look at the blue prints for his place, I noticed a lot of these when I was coming in." She said causing him to be totally flabbergasted again.

For the rest of the day they explored his house. He had never taken the time to look at these things figuring it was just a normal mansion.

End Flashback

From that day on they were instant friends. Pedro would constantly be sending her things to try and puzzles to try and solve. Whenever he made a really big and elaborate security system he always flew her in for the final testing phase. It was, in a way, her job. He would make something, and she would try to break into it. She was strong and flexible, so she was able to do extraordinary things to try and break into the vaults. She was the best he had ever seen and he trusted her more then anyone else. If anyone could find his mistakes, it was her.

Now she was 17 years old, the future leader of the Dragon's, and attending a public high school. She had her friends in school but none of them knew about her real life.

Sakura went downstairs for breakfast and was greeted by her mom and dad.

"Right on time Sakura, let's eat." Her father said. He had auburn hair and golden eyes. "Natasha dear would you please pass the syrup for the pancakes?" He added to his wife.

"Of course, here you are." Natasha said with a smile, she then turned to her daughter and said, "Sakura dear, we were thinking about skipping lunch and just going for an early dinner before the movie how does that sound?"

"That's fine by me." Sakura said with a smile.

"Good I'm glad. Francis hunny, before I forget, we have to work on the Tokyo harbor shipment. It should be coming in on Thursday and Ryuian said that it's going to be big." Natasha said to her husband.

"Speaking of Uncle Ryuian, when do I get to see him again?" Sakura asked. "I haven't seen him since he last came to Japan about 7 years ago."

Sakura loved her Uncle and was always talking with him on the phone or online. They loved to compare stories and challenge each other. He had a daughter Sakura's age named Tomoyo that came to visit every summer. She was Sakura's best friend and cousin, but he was never able to come with her to visit. No one knew about his daughter except for Sakura and her family. Not even his gang, the Wolves, knew their true relationship. He made sure of this in an attempt to keep Tomoyo safe.

"Well we were thinking that maybe we could all go to Hong Kong sometime to see him." Her father answered. "We have some business there that we need to take care of and I've wanted to see him to." It was plain as day that he missed his brother and only remaining family.

The rest of their meal and for most of the time at the park they all planned their trip to Hong Kong. They decided to go at the end of the month which was only 2 weeks away.

After spending a lot of time at the park, they finally decided that it was time to eat. They went to a little cafe with tables outside in the nice spring air. The sun showed down as they sat at a table under a Sakura tree. Sakura watched her parents have a playful argument and smiled. They were perfect for each other. She had acquired her mom's emerald eyes and her dad's auburn hair which fell halfway down her back. They looked like the perfect family. Sakura treasured her times with them because it made life seem perfect. They showed her what she really wanted out of life; a good husband who she was madly in love with, children who were just like her, and to lead the Dragons. She only hoped that she wouldn't let her gang down when the day came for her to take over. She still had a lot to learn and she knew it, but that didn't matter because she wouldn't be taking over for years.

"Darling we have a gift for you." Natasha said interrupting Sakura's thoughts.

"Why do you have a gift for me? My birthday was 2 weeks ago." Sakura asked confused.

"Well you see," her father stated, "We have been looking for this for a long time and finally found it, but it took a while to ship in from China."

Sakura took the box in her hands and smiled. She knew right away it was jewelry. She opened the little velvet case to reveal a beautiful locket. It was silver and in the shape of a heart. In the very center of the locket was an emerald carved into the shape of a heart too. She opened it up and saw a picture of her parents.

"It's amazing." Sakura stated not knowing what else to say.

Natasha smiled. "The other side is for a picture of your love," She explained.

"Thank you very much. I love it." Sakura couldn't stop smiling. She put the locket on and they continued to eat their dinner.

Suddenly they heard an explosion coming from inside. All three of them jumped up to see what was going on but it was too late, the little cafe was bursting into flames.

"Something must have happened in the kitchen!" Francis shouted. "Get back stay away from the flames."

That's when they heard the gunfire. It was coming from the street. "That was no accident." Natasha screamed as she turned over their table and pulled her daughter and husband behind it. They were shielded from the gunfire coming from the street, but with the flames right at their backs, they were trapped.

The guns continued to fire and a woman only a table away was shot in the leg. "I'm gunna go see what I can do for her. You two get out of here. They don't want me. I'll meet you two back at the house." Sakura said.

"No!" Natasha protested. "I am not about to leave you here alone."

"If you two don't get out of here you are putting more people in danger. You don't have the back up here to help you. I would be in more danger with you two. Now go before they find you!" Sakura shouted.

Natasha and Francis looked at their daughter. She had grown so beautiful and strong. They both kissed her and said that they loved her before they took out their guns and ran to the next table over.

Sakura took out her gun. It was plain and looked like every other handgun. She ran to the woman who had been shot and pulled her behind a table. The woman said she was all right but she was bleeding profusely from the shoot wound. Sakura ripped the bottom of her shirt all the way around her revealing her stomach. She then bandaged the woman's leg to help stop the bleeding.

She looked up to see if she could still spot her parents. They were behind a table on the other side of the cafe. They were firing bullets around the table at the cars shooting at them.

That was when she noticed the man. He was dressed in a cooks outfit and must have been the one to start the fire. He was walking over to them with his gun pulled out. Her parents hadn't noticed him because he was coming from behind. But Sakura saw him and started to panic. She pulled her gun out and shot the man, but it was too late.

He pulled the trigger of his gun right as Sakura did. He shot Francis strait in the head. That's when Sakura's bullet hit him. It hit him in the chest and Sakura was sure it hit is heart and killed him instantly, but then she saw she was wrong. The man raised his arm one last time and shot Natasha in the chest before he fell limp.

Sakura screamed at the top of her lungs and stood up shooting at the cars of men. She hit three men before any of them even noticed her. The cars suddenly drove away with Sakura still shooting at them. She screamed and tried to go to her parents but then she heard the sirens of police cars. If she was caught there she could go to jail. She needed to get out of there. She painfully took one last look at her parent's bloody bodies as she ran to their car and drove back to the manor.

When she got home, everyone knew something was wrong. Sakura barely made in the door before she collapsed into a heap on the floor.

Her hot tears streamed down her face as everyone wondered what was going on. Then there was a blood curtailing scream from the other room. It was already all over the news. People rushed to see what was wrong only to find start crying. Natasha and Francis Kinomoto were officially pronounced dead at 5:13 PM on April 15th 2005.

There you go. I hope you like it so far. There is a lot I want to put in this story and I hope it all fits. Please R&R and tell me what you think.
