From now on though apart from this being dedicated to my relatives who've passed away I'll be dedicating chapters to my reviewers until the end of the ficcie. This chapter is dedicated to two of my reviewers, Sweetlove73 and MiniSparky.
Chapter 9
Sakura's POV
We walked into the club and I looked around, my ears hurting from all the loud music. I looked over at Syaoran and saw him looking around. A man came up to him and whispered something in his ear and Syaoran nodded, before taking my hand and leading me away from the dance floor to a place at the back. He pushed open a door and lead me down some stairs till we where in a dark hallway. Sounds where coming from one end, and we walked toward them. Syaoran pushed open a door and we walked into a huge room, with a crowd of people. Syaoran pushed through the crowd until we where in the center of the room. Mei Lin was standing to the right of the circle and Jade was nowhere to be seen.
"What is this place?" I whispered to Syaoran and he didn't answer me. "Syaoran?" He grabbed my hand and led me around the circle to Mei Lin. "What is going on?" I asked, and Mei Lin only smiled at me, before whispering something into Syaoran ear.
"Alright." He said, "Sakura lets go, Jade's waiting for us in the other room." He led me back the way we came and I looked back to see a few guys fighting each other. "She'll explain everything to you."
He led me to the other end of the hall and into a room, that had some beds around the outside. Jade was standing by one, holding her hand over someone's head. She looked back as we entered and nodded to us, before picking up a cloth and laying it on the persons head. She checked on something on the notebook she was carrying before walking over to us. Someone entered the room behind us and she inclined her head to the person before motioning for us to follow her. We walked into a small office with only a desk and a chair.
"So I gather you to had fun today after we left?" Jade offered as she leaned against the wall a smirk on her face. "It's obvious. Syaoran you haven't stopped holding her hand. Sakura your blushing." Jade paused laughing, "Plus Syaoran you have lipstick on you're cheek."
(I had to put that in, it would be a sin not to: ) Back to the ficcie)
"You think your so funny." Syaoran said , rubbing his cheek with the back of his hand as he let go of my hand. "Now what happened to Talla?" Jade frowned at the mention of the name and waved her hand a bit, sparks flying from the movement.
"Her boyfriend decided that Talla's sister Faia was better then her." Jade explained angry, "He attacked her, she came running here. Koji beat the guy up and he's out there getting checked." She smiled, and a knock sounded at the door.
"Jade," Came Koji's voice, "Adam's awake, he has something to tell you." Hearing the footsteps moving away from the door I looked up and saw Jade's angry look.
"You want me to talk to him?" Syaoran asked and Jade shook her head. "Alright then, just be careful." he paused, "Don't want you getting hurt, since that magic taking thing is still out there."
"I know." Jade said, before opening the door and disappearing out into the larger room. "You wanted to see me Adam." Syaoran stood at the door for minute before shutting it.
"So, you never answered me, what is this place?" I asked walking towards him. "I know nothing, and you said I would find out about what Jade and Mei Lin did." Syaoran looked back and frowned.
"It's and underground fighting arena. On top of that people come here when they need to get away from the abuse they receive." He paused suddenly not finishing his explanation, "Do you feel the magic coming from the other room?" He questioned me all of a sudden before running to the door. "Jade," he shouted running out. "Koji." He shouted towards the door, and running footsteps where heard running the door leading into the outer room.
I ran out and saw a man, probably Adam raised in the air by magic. Jade had been flung against the wall and she was unconscious. Her aura was tightly held in check, even though she was unconscious. I looked back at Adam as Koji picked Jade up from the floor. Syaoran throw a ball of earth at Adam and it hit a barrier. I created a water spear and I threw it at the barrier , watching as the spear came right back at us.
"Shield." Came Jade's weak voice as she jumped in front of us, a shield in front of her. "Air shield," she shouted and the shield reflected the spear back at the barrier. "Are you guys just going to stand there?" She questioned as Koji ran up behind her and put his hand over hers.
"Fire spear." Syaoran shouted, and a spear of fire appeared in his hand. "I hope this works." he shouted throwing the spear through the air shield at the barrier. "Damn." He exclaimed as the fire spear was disintegrated.
I ran forward till I was standing next to Jade and Koji. I watched the barrier and scanned different area's of it. Moving a little closer to Jade's shield I saw a spot that was slightly lighter then the rest of the barrier. Making a dagger I went over to Syaoran and handed it to him.
"There's a weak spot in the barrier, its near Adam's right knee." I told him making sure he had the dagger. "I'm a horrible thrower, so you'll have to throw the dagger." He nodded at me as he looked at the blade of the dagger. "I'm going to go help Jade and Koji keep the shield up."
Syaoran's POVI watched as Sakura went back to Jade and Koji before looking at the right knee. Smiling a little, I went to Jade and put my hand on her shoulder giving her a little of my energy. She smiled weakly at me and I moved back throwing the dagger at Adam's right knee. He screamed in pain and fell back to the bed just as the door opened and Mei Lin and Eriol ran in. Eriol ran to Jade and Mei Lin went over to Adam. Jade fell to the floor and Koji dove to protect her head from hitting the ground. Both he and Eriol picked her up and brought her over to a bed on the other side of the room.
"Are you alright?" Eriol asked as he looked Jade over. "You look like hell." Jade smiled at him, lifting herself as best as she could from the bed. "What happened to Adam?" He questioned pushing her back down as Koji ran to get water. "You can tell me Jade, you five aren't that only ones with magic."
"How?" Sakura asked standing next to me, "How did you know?" She paused, "We hide our aura's and I can't even sense the tiniest bit of magic on you." She grabbed my hand and held it in hers.
"I'm the reincarnation of Clow Reed." Eriol told us and Jade and I both gasped. "I've known that you all had magic since I met you." He paused smiling, "I'm also related to you Jade, Mei Lin, Syaoran." Jade sat up, putting her hands back to keep her up, "I'm your cousin."
-- School the next day --
(I skipped what happened after Eriol said that, cuz I had writers block on that part. So when I defeat writers block I'll go back and add something)
I watched as Jade sat down next to Koji at the fountain, her left wrist bandaged. As I watched Sakura laughed at something Drave said and I clenched my fists. Takashi sat down beside me and looked over to where I was looking and hit me over the head. Glaring at him I hit him back. Just then there was a shout and I turned back to watch as Jade pushed Drave backwards into the water fountain. She gave Sakura a high-five and they both ran off as Drave got out of the water. They ran towards us and Jade slid to a stop behind me, Sakura following.
"Jade!" Drave shouted as he ran towards us. "You're dead." Jade laughed lightly as Takashi moved closer towards me to hide her better. "Don't think that I don't know that your hiding . . ." He broke off noticing she had hidden behind us and Sakura moved against me.
"What are you looking at?" Takashi hissed at Drave as if just noticing him, crossing his arms. "Go back to your group of druggies." Smirking Jade hit him in the back of his head. "I said go away or can't you understand what I'm saying. Go away now, jerk." He hissed now looking mad, but a mysterious glint in his eye twinkled.
Drave turned around and walked away back to the fountain. Sakura stood up and walked around me before sitting down again, only this time on my lap. I put my arm around her waist as Lila came to join is. She sat down next to Takashi and he put his arm around her shoulder. Jade walked around us and with a wave she headed for the fountain and Koji who had just arrived. Drave made a move to grab her but she hit him in the stomach and sent him backward into the water. Watching, Koji put his arm around Jade and pulled her into him. Adverting my eyes I looked down at Sakura as she played with my necklace.
"What did Drave do to get Jade pissed off?" I asked watching as Drave stormed off with another one of the group. "I'm guessing he also got you pissed off since you ran over here with Jade."
"He asked me out on a date." She said lying her head against my shoulder. "I said no and he wouldn't take that for an answer." She smiled up at me. "Jade told him to fuck off. He got mad at her and she pushed him into the fountain." She nodded towards the fountain, "They're coming over here." She corrected herself. "Jade and Koji are coming over here."
"Hey Syaoran, Takashi, Lila, Sakura." Koji greeted nodding at us. "We decided that we hated not hanging with you." He shook his head in disgust. "All these different groups, it's a wonder that people have friends at all. It royally sucks." Lila nodded in agreement as did Takashi. "We can at least hang with you guys right? I mean its not like you would care about us hanging together, right?"
"Of course," Lila said nodding at him. "Take a seat, make your self at home." Pausing she motioned for them to sit. "We'll make those people understand you, and understand that everyone's an equal no matter what race, and how much money they have." Smiling she put her head on Takashi's shoulder.
"Well, well, well." A voice sneered from behind us, and Jade growled low in her throat and stood up, spinning around. "Sit down whore. This is between me and the bitch who's stealing my man."
"If you have a problem with her, you have a problem with me." Jade hissed standing her ground. "Can't you see, he's perfectly content with having her." Jade pointed at me and Sakura. "So for once go off and bug someone who will actually listen to you."
"Don't you dare talk to me like that, whore." Tomoyo hissed walking forward and past me and Sakura towards Jade. "Apologize and I might actually let you live peacefully for a day." Tomoyo's friends walked up to join her.
"No thank you, I would rather get on your nerves." Jade said raising a hand and looking her nails. "So go leave and bug someone who actually cares, cuz you won't find someone like that here." Koji stood up and moved behind Jade, resting a hand on her shoulder.
"I'll leave as soon as that bitch gets away from my man." Tomoyo growled and Lila stood up moving beside Jade. "What can't fight me alone?" Came the mocking sneer.
"No actually, it will be me who you fight." Sakura said standing up and moving in front of Jade. "Jade, why don't you and our friends take care of Tomoyo's little friends." Jade moved beside Sakura and Rei moved beside Tomoyo. "I see Rei wants to fight also."
"Gladly, Naoko, Mei Lin. Let's get to it." Jade stopped and looked at Lila. "Lila don't get hurt." Lila nodded, kissed Takashi and stood beside Naoko who had stood up. "Don't be to hard on them, wouldn't want them to break an nail would we?" Jade hissed.
Unidentified POVAs I watched them start to fight, I couldn't help but get angry. Shaking my head I stood away from the fight and watched as Sakura kicked Tomoyo in the stomach and Tomoyo kicked Sakura in the side. Turing my attention to Jade, I saw that she was having a harder time. She ducked to late and the kick caught her in the shoulder. Spinning around Jade toppled Rei off of her feet and Rei punched Jade in her sprained wrist and Jade pulled back in pain. Lila moved away from her target and karate chopping Rei to the neck knocking her out of the game. Jade nodded to Lila and moved away from the fight pulling Rei behind her.
Yes, the prophecy will come true. This group of fighters is destined to be part of the light guardians and the princesses are one of a kind. This will work out. The dark guardians won't know what hit them. My brother walked over and smiled at me as Jade walked towards us after dropping Rei at Tomoyo's feet. Sakura had won the fight and Tomoyo now sported a cut on her cheek and a bruised up arm.
"Koji?" Jade called as she stopped beside us. "You ready to go, the bell just rang, and we need to get to the last class of the day." Hitting my shoulder she whispered into my ear. "If you actually help me in class I might give you something later."
I waved bye to my brother and picked up my bag and Jade's and followed her into the school towards our history class. Walking into the class I sat down next to Jade and handed her, her backpack. Pulling out a notebook I started to take notes on what the teacher had written on the board. Glancing over at Jade I saw her drawing in her notebook. Looking at the other side of my I saw Sakura resting her head in her hand and she was writing. Nodding to myself I continued to write down the notes.
At the end of class we walked out of the room and out of the school towards the wall where Syaoran and his friends waited for us. As we walked I put my arm around Jade and she laid her head on my shoulder. Sakura walked past us smiling at us as she headed for Syaoran. Once there Syaoran put his arm around her and pulled her close to him. Sakura blushed and I heard Jade laugh as she watched this. We walked closer and Jade pointed at something away from us. Looking over there I found Tomoyo glaring at Sakura and Syaoran. Once at the wall Jade jumped up and lifted herself up onto the top of the wall.
"Just to let you know Tomoyo wasn't always like that." Syaoran started to say, looking at Sakura as he spoke. "She used to be best friends with Jade and Mei Lin," He paused, "But that was before Jade's parents died and Tomoyo's brother was with them when it happened. Tomoyo's brother died along with Jade's parents, and Tomoyo blames Jade for what happened."
"She shouldn't blame Jade, it's not her fault." Sakura whispered glaring at Tomoyo out of the corner of her eye. Changing the subject she smiled at Jade and I. "So are you two dating each other or just really good friends?"
(question, should it be "Jade and I" or "Jade and me" for that sentence?)
Jade smirked, "I could be asking you the same thing with my cousin." Sakura blushed and Syaoran laughed lightly. "I take it you to like each other, well Koji and I are dating." Looking over at Mei Lin, Jade smirked again raising her eyebrows a little.
"Umm, Jade? "I questioned and she looked over at me, questioning. "You want to go to the movies tonight with me and then maybe to dinner. After all it is Friday." Ignoring the laughs I looked up at her waiting for an answer.
"Of course, but how about a double date, we can take Syaoran and Sakura with us." Jade said and I smiled entering her mind to see what she had planned. "Hey Koji, stop that will ya. I'll tell you later." Breaking the connection I moved out of her head.
(two pages left till I'm finished with this chapter, you have no clue how much I want to just ditch this and wait till Christmas, but I promised someone I would update by thanksgiving and I always keep my promises.)
Sakura's POV-later that night-
Smiling at Jade as she walked into my room I almost laughed at what she was wearing. She had on a light pink tank top, underneath a white see-through shirt. She had a light blue knee length jean skirt, and white flip flops. Her hair was in a braid, tied at the end was a pink ribbon. She sat down on my bed and watched as I picked out something to wear.
"You could always have asked Xiefia to help you, she helped me pick something to wear, and I must say I look good in pink." Jade joked making me smile a little. "You need to loosen up, my brothers not that bad on dates. Plus if it makes you feel better me and Koji will sit a few rows away from you two at the movies."
"I only need help finding out what to wear, that's all." I turned towards her, "I'm not nervous to be on double date." Pausing I smirked, "You have a good sense of fashion what should I wear?" I asked and she stood up walking to the closet.
"The knee length light green corduroy skirt, that black tank top and those green heels." Jade said as she pulled them out along with a lightweight black zip sweater. "Here put these on and hurry up, keep your hair down and put on some blush and that green eye shadow that's on your vanity."
I walked into the bathroom unaware of the plan that Jade had in mind. After changing and putting on my makeup and I walked out of the bathroom and saw that Jade had left, leaving a handbag on the bed. Picking it up I put my cell phone and a few necessities in there and walked out of the room and down the stairs watching as Jade opened the door letting Koji in. Walking down the rest of the stairs I jumped feeling Syaoran arm encircling my waist.
"You look beautiful." He whispered into my ear, kissing me on the cheek as he led me towards where Jade and Koji where waiting by the door. You ready to go?" he asked them and then nodded.
Jade led the way down the hall and into the garage. She picked up a pair of keys from the bench and headed towards a black Mercedes-Benz SUV. Opening the drivers side door she got in and Koji got in on the other side, leaving us the back seat. Looking over at Syaoran we shrugged and then got in, barely getting our doors shut before Jade pulled out of the garage and onto the driveway. Koji put his hand over hers and I turned my head into Syaoran shoulder taking in the smell of his cologne. He kissed the top of the my head and I looked up at him and he kissed me again and I kissed him back. We didn't hear Jade and Koji's laughter as we kissed. Just then Jade slammed on the brakes and we went into the seat in front of us. Looking out the window I saw a figure standing into the middle of the street, with there hands out towards us. The figure moved out of the street and Jade shook her head gently pressing down on the gas. Pulling up in front of the restaurant a few minutes later, I couldn't help but be relieved that we made it there alright.
Here's the chapter and I finished it just in time for thanksgiving. The next chapter should be out for Christmas, I'll post the next chapter as a present. Hehe, anyway, I'm so very sorry that it toke me ages to get it out. But I had writers block for awhile and I still have it, so if this chapter sucks then you know why. Please review, no flames, and if you have nothing good to say then don't review.
Wolf Jade.
