Hong Kong ~*~*~*~*~
~Syaoran~
Kaleb was channel surfing when Syaoran walked in. He threw his keys down on the bar, grabbed two beers, and sat down on the couch and handed one to Kaleb.
"So," Kaleb said eyeing Syaoran. "Have a good time?"
Syaoran mock glared at him. Then Kaleb just gave him the 'if you don't tell me I can probably guess' look, and he just laughed and shook his head. "It was amazing. End of story."
"Okay Okay," Kaleb said laughing. Syaoran grabbed the remote and started his own channel surfing while Kaleb wasn't paying attention.
"Hey I was watching that!" Kaleb protested.
"Well not any more!" Syaoran said smirking at his friend who just glared. Just then they realized that the news channel was on and were making a big deal out of something.
"Turn it up," Kaleb said looking at the TV. Syaoran hit the volume button and the woman's voice could be heard.
'Again, news just in on a kidnapping in Tokyo. Li Mei Lin, age 20, was abducted at nine-fifteen last night [ok its like 2 or 3 in the morning when they r watching this] here at the Hilton Inn.(Picture of large hotel with police and reporters running about pops up on the screen) She was with her friends at a ceremony that instated Kinomoto Sakura as head of Kinomoto Incorporated. Here's video of Kinomoto after the incident. (The screen goes snowy for a moment then an image of two girls popped up on the screen. One with auburn hair and deep emerald eyes that flashed dangerously in the light was comforting a crying girl with amethyst eyes and long violet hair.)
"NO," Syaoran said shaking his head. "Mei Lin." He said softly to the TV.
(A man with Navy hair and sapphire eyes walks and offers an arm to the violet hair girl and she hugs him instead. The auburn hair girl looked directly into the camera. She bit her bottom lip clearly trying to keep the tears from falling. 'I am Kinomoto Sakura, Head of Kinomoto Incorporated, And I would like to offer a reward to anyone who has any information on the kidnapping of Li Mei Lin.' (A recent picture of Mei Lin pops up on the screen then it goes back to Sakura.) 'Please, if you have any information on her where abouts please contact me or the police.' A tear slid down her cheek and she whipped it away. 'Please help me get my friend back! She is one of the few people I have left.' ( A uniformed officer comes and leads Sakura away as tears start flowing down her face. It then flips back to the reporter out side the building.) If anyone has any information about the kidnappers, or the where abouts of Li Mei Lin, please contact the Tokyo police or Ms. Kinomoto herself, who has given us the numbers. (Numbers appear on the bottom of the screen.) From Tokyo this is. . .')
Syaoran looked from the TV to Kaleb who had clicked the off button. "That. . ." He shook his head not believing what he just saw. "Was my cousin."
"I'm so sorry man." Kaleb said putting a hand on his back. "I never knew you had a cousin."
"I never told you." He said standing up. "He walked into the kitchen, opened the fridge, and grabbed another beer, popped the top, then walked back into the living room and flopped down on one of the recliners.
"Did you know the other two girls?" Kaleb asked after a few minutes of silence.
"I used to." Syaoran said taking a drink from the bottle. "I don't see why anyone would take Mei Lin though!" Syaoran shouted frustrated.
"Well it could have been gang related." Kaleb said with a shrug looking straight ahead at the TV.
"What?" Syaoran said sitting up. "Are you saying my cousin is in a gang?" He asked in a threatening tone. "She would never. . ."
"No but I'm just saying those two girls were." Kaleb said looking Syaoran straight in the eye.
"How do you know?" Syaoran asked thinking about everything rolling around in his head.
"Well I don't know if you noticed but they both had tattoos on their shoulder blades." Kaleb answered seriously.
"So what?" Syaoran said standing up again and started toward his room. "Everyone has tattoos!"
"Not those!" Kaleb said turning to look at him. He stood up so they were eye to eye. "I recognize those tattoos." He said in an even voice. "And you were just looking at the leader and one of her right hand girls."
Japan ~*~*~
~Sakura~
After the police had ask them five hundred billon questions, Sakura and the others had gone back to the house. Tomoyo had gotten the bulk of the questions because she's the one who witnessed the whole thing.
Sakura had gotten questions about Hunter. Which tore her apart. Once they had arrived Sakura told a sobbing Tomoyo good night, even though she doubted she would get any sleep. She walked out on her balcony that over looked the east garden. The moon was shining bright and the wind blew restlessly in the dark of night.
"Tomorrow," She said looking up at the moon. "Tomorrow the Angels will be involved." She knew the Tokyo police would do nothing for them. But she needed a night to regroup, a night to clear her mind, and night to plan. She smiled up at the moon. Her eyes full of so many emotions they were burning a dark emerald green. Both beautiful and deadly all mixed up in one pair of eyes. "Tomorrow." She bit her bottom lip nodded to the moon and walked back inside.
~Hunter~
"So now what do we do?" asked a girl with piercing blue eyes, and long brown hair as she watched the unconscious girl in the back of the van. They were just leaving the airport after she had arrived. "And its almost one can we please get lunch or something?" she gave him a puppy dog face looking at the guy beside her. His golden eyes were shining as he looked back at her. He took her hand and kissed it.
"Any thing you want," He smiled and looked back at the road. "How about we stop up here at that 'On The Corner' restaurant?"
"Sounds good to me." She said smiling. "What about her?" She asked looking glancing back at the girl. He laughed.
"We are going to switch cars with Tyson." He turned off and took a back road that she had never seen before. "Is that ok?"
"Yea," She said looking out the window. "Everything has just changed so much since I've been gone."
"Yea, but soon we'll go somewhere where we can explore everything together." He looked at her and winked. "How's that sound?"
"Great!" She beamed as they took yet another road she had never seen before.
~Syaoran~
"Hey Syaoran," Kaleb said nervously glancing out the airplane window. "Are you sure she'll even talk to us? I mean we called both hotlines and didn't get a word in."
"Trust me. She'll be glad to see us." He gave his friend a little reassuring grin. 'Or she'll laugh in your face and kick your ass on top of it.' His mind screamed.
'Hi can I help you?' a polite voice on the other end of the phone asked.
'Yes, this is Li Syaoran.' Syaoran said to the man. 'I would like to speak to Kinomoto Sakura.'
'I'm sorry but Ms. Kinomoto is not taking any calls from the family at the moment.' He could hear the rustling of papers. 'If you will hold I'll give you the number you're supposed to call. . .'
'No thanks,' said angrily and hung up the phone.
He let out a long sigh, and leaned his head back against the seat.
Earlier Kaleb had said something about the girls being in a gang. 'There's no way they could be that kind of life.' Part of his mind kept telling him. The other part, on the other hand, kept screaming things like, 'you've been gone four years!' 'They aren't the same little girls you knew.' And lastly 'it's your own fault you don't know anything!'
That statement, he found, he couldn't argue with. He's the one that cut off communication with Mei Lin and the others. He was the one that left. He kept beating himself up about the whole thing. If he had been there would it have still happened? The questions wouldn't leave his mind.
So then Kaleb suggested 'since we can't call her, why don't we go pay them a visit?' Find out what's going on. And if its true that they are all in a gang or whatever.
Syaoran had thought it over and decided that that would work. Kaleb really hadn't expected that. Since then he had been worrying that once they got there and tried to talk to Sakura she would have them tortured and killed. To which he just laughed. He could never see Sakura killing someone. But then again he had missed a couple of big things in her life.
~Sakura~
"I think you all know why we are here this morning." Sakura said standing at the head of a long table in what she called the conference room of their house. Not all the seats were filled. She had only called on the best.
A sob was heard from Tomoyo as she looked across the table at where Mei Lin would have been sitting.
"Well," Sakura said looking at everyone present. "What are we going to do about it?" she demanded.
Everyone knew how mad Sakura could get so they didn't want to piss her off anymore than need be at the moment.
"I will tell you what we are going to do." She glared them all. "We are going to find Li Mei Lin. And we are going to find her as soon as earthly possible. So do what you people do best and find her damn it!"
With that everyone started talking or looking up one thing or another on either the phone or flat screened computer that were placed in front of each seat at the table.
She knelt down by Tomoyo who tried to smile. She gave her a grin and hugged her tight. "Tomoyo, I promise we will get her back."
Tomoyo laughed a little. "I know Sakura. I know." Sakura just closed her eyes. 'I will do anything to get her back.'
She let go of Tomoyo and looked at the few people she had hand picked to help with this. All of them were not only the best at what they do, they just happen to be their closest friends. They were a family. And she pitied Hunter and whoever else was involved for two reasons. One: Her family was not one to mess with. Two: She was going to kill him and whoever else for lying to her and kidnapping her friend.
She nodded to herself. 'Yea. I'll do anything to get her back. And so will they.'
