Disclaimer: While this is sure to come as a shock to you, we regret to inform you that we do not, and never have, owned Card Captor Sakura, it's plot lines, characters, or any other original material.
I am rather pleased that although my fellow author Cat has decided not to continue this story with me, I have still managed to round up two new reviewers! Woot!
Cherry-SweetHeart: Thank you very much! It means a lot, lot, lot to me when someone compliments my plot line! I also consider one of the largest compliments there is to be a reader who tells me that they are anxious for what I write next! To think you are waiting for my update, truly brings a smile to my face.
VampireJazzy: YAY! Another review! Does happy dance. Thank you very much for you compliments, I greatly appreciate them! I do plan to continue this story, and because it is only me writing it, hopefully at a much quicker pace the myself and Cat's story, When Dark and Light Collide!
As Sakura followed the boy--no, theman--into a back room, she couldn't help but take in his handsome features. His hair was chestnut, an unruly mane. His eyes were an amber color that was just a few shades lighter than his hair, but bright and striking enough to make them stand out. His body was obviously muscular, his toned arms were in plain site, and she thought she could make out chiseled abs under his dark T-shirt.
"In here." Her amber eyed hunk grunted, motioning to a surprisingly well lit room—And here she was expecting a single light bulb, like in those old movies when the criminal is interrogated.
"Sit." Was the next command out of his mouth, which Sakura couldn't help but notice looked extremely kissable. Silently she obeyed him, taking a seat on a rather large and comfortable couch, directly across from the leather recliner he now sat in.
For a few moments, he just stared at her. Finally, when his eyes had begun to unnerve her, she coughed, and broke the silence. "Soooo…" was the intelligent phrase that she deemed fit to say.
"My name is Syaoran Li. You are to call me only by Li. I am the leader of this gang, and you will soon learn that stepping out of line under my command is a grave mistake. I am not pleased with your being here, as I have already made clear to Tomoyo. It is my belief that she exaggerated your fighting ability, and you will be of no use to us, only a dead weight. I can not afford for any dead weight. We can not afford dead weight. In light of the situation, I have decided not to kill you. Saving one of my members has put you in good graces. Because of this, I will treat you like a recruit. You will be another member of this gang, and you will have to prove your capabilities in a battle, against one or more of our best fighters. Any questions?" Syaoran quickly explained.
"I don't think so?" came Sakura's hesitant reply.
"Good." Li said, while beginning to stand. As he walked towards the door, he glanced at Sakura. "Oh, and by the way, your fight is today. You have one hour to prepare. I will send someone back to take you to the gym, and help you find any supplies you may need." And with that, he was gone.
Sakura stared after him, her eyes wide, with a desperate look in them. If this was what being in his good graces was like, she really had to remember not to get on his bad side.
I truly apologize that this chapter is so short. I am having a minor amount of writer's block, and am currently tied up with other activities. I know that you really don't care for my excuses, so I ask only this: If you want me to acknowledge you, write a review! Also, if you think my writing good use some serious improvement, please let me know. To become a better writer, I happen to need feedback! I promise that next time the chapter will be longer, I just needed a launch pad for my next chapter, and this seemed the perfect place to really get the flow of things started! Thank you all for your support, or at least you attention. I leave you know with these quick words:
If you could save either one sibling, or a room full of people, who would it be?
