-hides from MiniSparky-
I have a bad feeling that this chapter is going to be horrible, but I err started writing it after MiniSparky over there reviewed and complained I needed to update. That's the last time I ever say something like that like again.
Since I have no clue what Syaoran's father's name is I'm calling him Xiao Shin.
Alright this chapter is dedicated to Ngoc1231 and VampiricEternity.
Chapter 10Sakura's POV
I walked into Syaoran's work, following him to the elevator. Walking in, I watched as he pressed the button for the top floor. A few minutes alter the doors opened and we walked out onto the top floor. Syaoran gathered his messages and we walked towards his office. He pushed the door open and I heard him growl at something. Peaking out from behind him I saw two people waiting, one was sitting behind the desk, the other looking out the window. The one sitting was an old looking man dressed in a black Armani suit. He had his hands on the desk and was looking through something lying in front of him. The one looking out the window was a young girl about our age. She was dressed in a short white mini skirt, that had a slit going a little higher then it should be. For a top she had a green, half shirt, showing a little to much skin. On her feet she wore black stilettos.
"Ling-san, if you will please, stop reading whatever your reading and get out of my chair." Syaoran said and I could tell he was very angry.
"Why Li-san, if your father heard you talking this way . . ." Ling-san started, but was interrupted.
"I don't know who you are, or why you're here, and I don't really care. But Li asked you to get out of his seat and to stop reading that file." I hissed dangerously getting a bad feeling off this guy. "I suggest you do as he says."
"Who do you think you are young lady talking to me father that way." The girl said walking towards me, her arms crossed. "You should be fired for saying such a thing."
"Young lady? You're no older then me girl, so I'd shut up if I were you. Plus I am free to speak as I wish." Pausing. "I don't work here, so I can't be fired."
"Sakura." Was all Syaoran said and I shut up, stepping back behind him. "Ling-san what brings you and your daughter here to my office unannounced?" he walked forward. "Oh and please get out of my seat."' He hissed grabbing the file off of the table and giving it a quick look.
"Why, I'm here to talk to you about marrying my daughter." He said and I gaped. "Oh and of course your cousin marrying me, I can't forget that." He got an evil look in his eyes.
"First off, I would like to remind you that you will not be marrying my cousin, nor will I be marrying your daughter." Syaoran hissed and I could tell his control was getting frayed around the edges. "Second, I would like to know why you where looking at my companies financial reports for the year."
"Why, just to see if there is anyway I could your company get better." Ling spoke smoothly as if it was an everyday occurrence.
"Sakura please call my mother." Syaoran spoke in Japanese. "I want her to hear what this man says, hide the phone in your purse so she can hear it all."
"Hai, Syaoran." I answered pulling open my cell phone in my purse and dialing a number and pressing send. "Auntie Yelen. "I whispered when she picked up, "Please listen to this." Looking around I sighed in relieve that no one had seen me doing this.
"Jade will be mine and you will marry my daughter." Ling said his face full of rage and I realized I had missed something. "I will help your company become great."
"The only thing you want is our money. That and you want Jade in your bed." Syaoran hissed angrier then I've seen him before. "Jade and I will not marry you or your daughter as long as we're alive."
"Jade will marry me, I will see to it that she does. You will marry my daughter for you were given to her when you were younger." Ling hissed and I jumped in front of Syaoran angry.
"I don't really care about what the fuck your talking about, butLi Yelen would like to say something to you." I handed the phone to Ling and smiled in satisfaction.
"Li-san, it is so nice to speak to you." Ling said his voice changing to a happier tone. "I never said such thing." His eyes went big. "But your husband wished for them to marry into my family." He growled, "I understand." He threw the phone at me and walked out of the room his daughter behind him.
"That went well." I said walking over to the couch. "So tell me what did your father want you and Jade to marry into his family?" Syaoran only shrugged and went over to his desk and picked up the phone.
"Kino-san please let security know that Ling-san and his family are not aloud in this building ever again." He said and I heard the secretary reply, before he hung up.
Yelen's POV(My first time doing her POV, I hope its ok)
I wonder what Ling was up to. Looking through the reports and how he acted towards Xiao Long. I paused in my thinking as Nadashiko walked in. She might know something, after all he wanted to marry her when she was younger.
"Hello Yelen." Nadashiko spoke as she sat down on the couch across from me. "You seem troubled, has something happened?"
"Ling has been trying to get jade and Xiao Long to marry into his family. He was looking for Jade as his bride." I told her and a frown creased her face. "I don't know why Xiao Shin wanted them to marry into Lings family."
"You're husband wanted them in Lings family. But that's stupid. You knew what happened between Ling and I and how he tried to hurt my friends so I would marry him." Nadashiko almost shouted, her face showing her anger.
"I know this Nadashiko, but Xiao Shin was blind when money came into play. I was not able to stop the engagement, but I can stop it now." I corrected myself, "I have stopped it now. They will not marry into that family."
Nadashiko stood up and nodded to me, before leaving the room, opened her cell phone and dialing a number as she walked. I heard her speaking to someone on the other end and I sighed. I stood up and walked over to the window looking at the spot where I had seen Syaoran and Sakura kiss only a few weeks ago. Smiling at the memory I started to form a new plan. Walking away form the window and over to my desk, I sat down and turned on the computer.
Jade's POVWalking into the dojo, I frowned at the feeling of emptiness. Walking quickly towards the room I taught I taught martial arts in, I pushed opened the door and choked on a scream at the sight before me. The girl from the dinner party was standing in the middle of the room. Around her lying in their own blood was the other sensei's and a few of the students who liked to come early and help out. Pulling out my cell phone I dialed a number and waited for Touya to pick up. Putting the phone to my ear I hoped that he was nearby.
"Hello?" Touya asked as he picked up.
"Touya, it's Jade. I need you to get the others and get to the dojo on 34th and Clow." I said hanging up after I finished not waiting for his answer. "I see you're back, I thought we managed to get rid of you, but I guess not." I said directing it towards the evil girl.
She didn't answer. Aiming her hands towards me, I barely managed to dodge the blast, my high heels causing me to move slower then I wanted. Jumping up from my crouched position I formed a bow and then an arrow fitting it to the bow. Aiming it at her I moved fast to the left and let the arrow go as I kicked out towards her, my foot catching her in the arm. Pushing myself backward, I cursed as I landed awkwardly on my hand, my wrist cursing with pain. Sending a blast of wind towards the girl, I jumped back, and massaged my wrist. Looking at her as she picked herself up I frowned noticing something was off.
Her power has decreased. I mused as I watched her straighten up. Let's give this girl a run for her money. Jumping up, I let the wind send me towards her, catching her off guard. I need to hold down the fort till the others arrive, it shouldn't be to hard.
All of a sudden I found myself falling forward, having been hit from magic behind me. Twisting in midair, I fell towards the ground. As soon as I landed my hands where pushing me upward. Looking towards where the magic had come from, my eyes widened in surprise. My brother Ryu was standing there, his form cloaked in black. His usually clear orange aura was a dark orange, black forming around it. He sent another blast of magic at me I braced myself, jumping to the side, but not fast enough, the blast caught me in the side, sending me to the ground, in pain. Slowly getting to my feet, I let my staff form in my hand, cursing as I clutched the staff in my right hand, the hand I had just re-sprained. Staring at my brother, I wondered what had happened to turn him this way, what made him possessed. Jumping backwards, I pulled my staff up, and in front of me, blocking the next wave of magic. Already I could feel the fatigue getting to me.
"Brother, why are you like this? Did whoever put you in the hospital do this to you?" I questioned hopefully taking his mind off attacking me. I hope everyone gets here soon. I maybe better with magic then Syaoran is, but I'm to weak to handle all this fighting.
A blast of magic shocked my out of my thoughts as it hit me head on. Falling backward, I sent a blast of white magic at Ryu, growling as it did nothing. Barely managing to dodge the next blast, I ducked and ran at him, kicking outward with my left foot. Hitting a shield I fell back, and somersaulted back a few feet. Looking around the room quickly I noted that the girl had just disappeared, a long with the bodies of my co-workers and students. I heard the running footsteps in the hall and then the door behind Ryu burst open and Sakura, Syaoran and Touya came running in.
"You took your sweet time." I shouted at them as I dodged another blast, stupidly placing myself in a corner. "A little help please. Oh don't hurt him, it's Ryu." Pausing, I then said. "Ok screw it, hurt him all you like."
Syaoran jumped forward and vaulted over Ryu's head, landing in front of him. He aimed his sword at Ryu and ran at him, magic fueling his speed. The sword went through the shield and got Ryu in the side. Touya came in, throwing fireballs at Ryu's back. Sakura ran towards me and stopped in front of me. She looked at me and I pushed her away, getting hit by yet another magic blast. I crouched low to the ground as Sakura created a bow and arrow out of her element. She let the arrow go and it hit Ryu in the arm. He sent another blast of magic at us all, knocking us to the ground. Syaoran stood up and ran at Ryu, using the hilt of his sword to hit Ryu over the head. Touya stood up and helped Syaoran by using a sword he created out of fire. Once Ryu was unconscious, they came over to us and helped us up.
"That was fun." Touya replied, "Thanks for calling by the way, you got me out of having to go take an exam." I smiled at him. "No really, I'm thanking you. Though if Sakura had called me I would have killed her."
"Anyone have any ideas at what they wanted?" Sakura asked, her tone edged with worry. "Like why they would want Ryu."
"No idea." Syaoran said, "The only thing is Ryu has always been stronger then Jade and I. His magic and martial art skills has always surpassed our own." He paused again deep in thought. "We should get him to the elders. They might be able to do something."
Syaoran's POVA few hours later
We all sat in the living room downstairs watching the TV. When we got home Jade had told us about the sensei's and students that had been killed. The sensei's and students that had died had all had magic. Jade was upstairs right now calling the parents and relatives of the dead. The family had known about their kids or family having magic.
Sakura had her hand on my shoulder and we where holding hands. Touya and Mei Lin who had shown up a little while ago where sitting next to each other. A few minutes later Jade came walking in, her wrist having been rewrapped. She was tired like the rest us. She lay down on one of the other couches and closed her eyes. Looking down at Sakura I saw that she was already asleep. Putting my head back against the back of the couch, I closed my eyes and started thinking about what had happened. The elders had shown up outside the mansion waiting for us when we arrived. They had quickly taken Ryu from us and had placed him in a pair of magic bonds. The elders had said that they where going to try to release him from the darkness surrounding him, but I could tell they didn't think it would be possible. If Ryu died it would be bad for Jade and my mom, because Jade's mother had been my mothers sister. If Ryu died Jade would be the only one except my mother from her side of the family. Opening my eyes I saw Mother walk in and sit down at the end of the couch Jade was sitting on.
"I just talked to the elders." She started and Jade opened her eyes sitting up. "They have a long way to go to get Ryu away from the darkness, they say if they can't save him themselves then the only way to, is to destroy the person who did this to him."
"I personally think it would be better to destroy the person who did this." Mei Lin said, her eyes a fierce red. "It would be better for everyone, cuz if we only help Ryu then the jerk who did this can still come back and hurt Ryu again."
"I agree. But the person who did this is stronger then all of us. I mean he would have to be if he did this to Ryu. Even if this happened when Ryu was in coma, then Ryu still would have been able to save himself." I said to everyone.
"I think there is something you should all know, something that could help us win this, but I need a few others to come here, before I can start." Koji said from the door, surprising us all. "Is it all right if I call and tell them to come here. It would help us if they all knew at the same time as you."
"Who is it that you need here?" Jade asked looking at Koji.
"Tomoyo." He answered and Jade gasped. "Oh wait and Eriol."
"If she can help us, then maybe that's why I was being to fucking nice to her at the restaurant." Jade said looking at me in shock. "I'll call Eriol, Koji since you want her to be here, you can call her."
"Thanks." He said sarcastically and they left the room to call them.
"I wonder what it could be, that Koji wants to tell us." Sakura said and I jumped not knowing she had been awake.
Awhile later Koji and Jade came walking back in with Tomoyo and Eriol following them. Tomoyo looked confused as to why they were there, and Eriol he just looked like he usually does, happy and cheerful. Koji motioned for everyone to sit and when they had taken seats he started.
"About 1000 years ago a prophecy was created. This prophecy includes all of us except Yelen-san." He started. "!00 years ago, there where eight people like us, and they fought someone like we're going to fight."
Well that was the chapter. I hoped you all liked it. Yes, I know I stopped and that you all wanted to know the whole prophecy but I need to find the chapter where I put parts of the prophecy, so I can actually finish telling you all. I had forgotten to write it down. So please review, remember no flames. I plan about 10 more chapters till the end, and I hope by that time to have more then a hundred reviews. So I hope you all can help me with that. Hehe.

Reviewer Responses:
VampiricEternity: Yay, your back, I had thought you weren't going to read it anymore. I know stupid thought. Hehe, you have to wait till next chapter to find out what's going on.
MiniSparky: Here's the update. Yep things are definitely starting to heat up between Syaoran and Sakura. Sorry that there wasn't that much stuff between them in this chapter.
XiaoShing: Hehe if you noticed I pretty much sued your penname, only I dropped the "g" for Syaoran's fathers name. I couldn't think of anything else. The Tomoyo in this story isn't fashion crazy.
Black Wolf Girl: You should feel special. You deserved the dedication. Hehe, I told you the news already didn't I, I forget it if I did. Oh well thanks for the review.
Ngoc1231: Your question confused me. I don't know what you mean by it. Did you mean about what Syaoran wondered when Sakura and Mei Lin where talking with Naoko? Cuz I don't remember having Sakura or Syaoran's' mother in the chapter. I loved the part when they were playing tricks.
