Chapter 5: Unexpected Battle
Sakura watched Tomoyo Daidouji enter her sleek black car, armed by two of her four bodyguards, from a far. As she was driven away, Sakura silently and swiftly followed behind, jumping from rooftop to rooftop, to stay out of view. As she jumped towards another rooftop, she slammed against something. Or…someone. Or…some guy.
Sakura Kinomoto was currently sprawled on top of Syaoran Li. He groaned in pain as he sat up, causing Sakura to lose balance and fall next to him. She sat up and glared at him as he glared back.
"What the heck are you doing on a freaking rooftop, guy who I don't know?"
Syaoran sneered at her.
"It's none of your business. What are you doing on a rooftop?"
Sakura smiled haughtily at him.
"I was enjoying the scenery."
He scoffed at her.
"You liar."
"No, I'm not."
"Yes, you are."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"Oooh! I love these arguments! Where's my popcorn…"
Syaoran and Sakura turned to stare at a girl who possessed light brown hair and bluish green eyes. She grinned at them as she waved.
"Hi! I'm Shauna. What is up, eh?"
They both blinked. Who was this odd person? Sakura and Syaoran shared an icy glare at each other before they turned back to the mystery girl…to find that she disappeared.
"Where'd she go!"
Syaoran shrugged and opened his mouth to retort a smart-ass comeback, until he noted that Sakura disappeared as well. He raised an eyebrow before walking to school.
"Sakura…"
"What?"
"You didn't keep watch on Daidouji, did you?"
"I ran into a hindrance."
"Try not to again, this time. I'll watch over her for you."
"Good."
"I'll see you in class."
"Okay."
The communication device did some sounds like…
Crackle…sizzle…pop!
And Fujitaka's voice drifted into her ears.
"Yukino."
"Sir?"
"Report to HQ at once. Sakura?"
"Hai?"
"Protect Daidouji while we're gone."
"Yosh." (Yosh is like…Yes. Or, okay.)
Sakura started running to school, knowing full well that while Yukino is gone, no one is protecting Tomoyo. She skidded to a halt at the entrance to school and ran in, crashing into someone again. Rubbing her head, she whined.
"Damnit, that's twice in one friggin' hour!"
"With that Li guy?"
"Yukino?"
Sakura lifted her head up a little to see Yukino stretched out on the floor. Sakura blinked a little before she screeched.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? ! GET TO HQ ALREADY! VAMOOSE!"
Yukino scrambled to her feet and waved goodbye as she printed to HQ, leaving a trail of dust behind her. Sakura shook her head and sat there, before remembering Tomoyo had no guards with her at the moment.
"Oh shit!"
And Sakura ran in the school, before abruptly stopping.
Oh crap…what room does Tomoyo have right now!
Sakura started panicking and running throughout the school, slamming open each and every door, poke her head through, then slamming it and running again.
Oh god…oh god, oh god, oh god. Where is she!
The moment Tomoyo was unguarded, she was currently out in the field for P.E. Tomoyo glanced around.
'I wonder where Yukino is. She said she would give me pointers on how to run quickly without hurting myself…'
"Tomoyo Daidouji, to the office. Tomoyo Daidouji, to the office."
The P.E teacher nodded at her and Tomoyo left towards the office, confused. As she walked in the empty hallways, she shivered. Why were the P.E uniform shorts so…short?
"Tomoyo Daidouji?"
Tomoyo turned towards the deep male voice to see a man standing before her. He smiled, as he said.
"I'm here to escort you to your home."
Tomoyo quirked an eyebrow.
"Am I not supposed to go to the office?"
"Oh no…I was waiting for you over there, but since you took awhile, I'm came to you, instead."
Tomoyo found it all suspicious.
"Is there anything wrong?"
"No…your mother just ordered me to bring you home immediately for your daily sewing lessons."
"I don't have lessons until tomorrow."
"It seems that Ms. Yamamoto had rescheduled."
Tomoyo took a step back as she glared at the man.
"I haven't had Ms. Yamamoto as my teacher since I was 13!"
The man growled and Tomoyo's eyes widened, before she turned and ran as far away as she could from the man. She heard him curse before he called for back-up and chase after her. Tomoyo's heart started beating rapidly as she panicked.
Oh my god…I'm going to die. Someone help me.
Sakura ran as fast as she could to find Tomoyo.
Oh crap. Oooh crap. I'm going to be in deep shit soon.
Sakura rounded the corner of the halls and crashed into someone. The irony of it all, no? Sakura shook her dizzy head and looked up to see Tomoyo lying there, crying. Just her luck! Sakura inwardly cheered for finding Tomoyo, but then fear washed over her as she saw a platoon of men surrounding them. Sakura looked around in fear.
Oooh fuck. I am in deep shit… Okay…I'm surrounded in all areas…except…
Sakura looked up and grinned. She carried Tomoyo by piggy-back and put on a metal cap to her head as she covered Tomoyo in a blanket to shield her from the…
Glass!
Sakura's metal cap crashed into the sun roof and glass shards scattered around Tomoyo's blanket, which Sakura immediately discarded as she ran from the top of the school's roof. Tomoyo had been unconscious the whole time, which she thanked god for. What would she say when Tomoyo found out that she had inhuman powers such as being able to take a giant leap? She turned on her communication device that was still in her ear.
"Hello? Someone?"
But then Sakura listened in on what was happening through the communication device. Yukino's voice blared in her ears as she shouted.
"FALL BACK! I SAID FALL BACK! DON'T MOVE FORWARD YOU DAMN IDIOTS!"
(To those who do not watch war movies, I am a sucker for them. Fall back means retreat.)
Sakura continued running to the Daidouji residence as she listened in with widened eyes as she heard gunshots slice through the air and people's screams of pain as they were hit with a bullet.
"FALL BA-…!"
Yukino's voice was halted and a wave of fear washed over her. What the hell was happening! Sakura tried to breathe normally, when she had stopped. As she reached the mansion, she leapt over the 10 feet gate and ran towards the front door, banging her fist frantically against it.
One of Tomoyo's bodyguards opened the door and raised an eyebrow at the site of Sakura. Sakura looked around before showing the bodyguard her badge, showing that she was a member of JAC.
"Tomoyo was attacked and I believe they are in pursuit of me at the moment. I suggest you heighten the security as Tomoyo rests behind a steel door room covered with your best guards in AND out of her room."
The bodyguard nodded and locked the door behind Sakura and led her down to a well protected room, where Sakura laid Tomoyo before sitting on a chair, exhausted.
Yukino burst into the doors of HQ and ran all the way up to Fujitaka's office, where she burst through the doors and collapsed on the floor, tired. Fujitaka raised an eyebrow before getting back to business.
"Yukino. There is a war raging from the outskirts of Tomoeda, where you, and a platoon of our best agents will go and help our comrades fight to victory. Understood?"
Yukino nodded tiredly before she got up and walked out.
As she led the squad down towards the battlefield, she stopped, making everyone halt after her. The battlefield only yards away, she grimaced as the smell of death and iron wafted to her nose. She looked through her binoculars to see that their allies were losing, desperately needing backup. She turned around and beckoned every forward to crowd around her.
"I need 2 of our best snipers. I want you to hide in a secluded area where you can have a view of the battlefield and take out as much of the enemy as possible. Stay hidden, don't get shot."
Two men ran away from the group, going into positions.
"First platoon is to follow me and attack as many as we can. Second platoon is to cover us. Shoot from afar. Mortars are to go in position and bomb as many as you can AWAY from your own company. And third platoon is to control the machine guns. Don't shoot like crazy. It'll cost you your life. Okay, move out."
Yukino took out her gun and started running to the battlefield, with first platoon following behind her.
Their allies who were losing cheered as they saw them coming and started attacking with new vigor. Yukino smiled. Now…the real battle began.
After more than half of the enemy troops were either on the floor dead, or wounded, something no one would have ever guessed, happened. Enemy tanks arrived to the scene and started blasting the ground, blowing soldiers away and wounding most. Dread washed over Yukino and she yelled.
"FALL BACK!"
The sounds of bombs whooshing in the air drowned out her voice and she watched in fear as most of her men lay on the floor, crying out for help. The ones who could fight on still continued to move forward.
"I SAID FALL BACK! DON'T MOVE FORWARD YOU DAMN IDIOTS!"
Yukino hid behind a house and shot at snipers who were attacking her men mercilessly. When she saw one of her last men from first platoon fall to the floor, lifeless, everything stopped. Yukino's heart wrenched and as she saw second platoon run forward to the battlefield, she yelled to no avail, wanting to save their lives.
"FALL BA-…!"
A mortar bomb landed 10 feet away from Yukino, causing her to be blasted away and crash against a brick house that somehow remained standing. Her head slumped as she let the darkness envelope her senses.
Fujitaka paced around his offices as the radio sitting on his desk had heard Yukino's scream to fall back halt. And Fujitaka stopped pacing as he stared at the radio.
TBC…
Yeah, I know. You think I'm crazy. Being so descriptive about war tactics? Heh…I'm also a sucker for war movies. Especially a 10 disc DVD Movie called The Band of Brothers. Awesome movie, it is.
Review, and I hope you enjoyed it. I know I have. –grins-
