Beyond the Unknown

Chapter 6: Don't judge me

a/n: heyy.. Beyond the Unknown has finally come back! Now please help it stay.. reviews are sooo greatly appreciated!

Warning: some cursing... and the usual. Watch Out! Hehe.. deadly grammar.

Also this chapter is mostly action. Next chapter will be some ss romance -

"Hurry, we need an ambulance. A girl has passed out because she was raped. The address...... um the address is xxxxxxxxxxx. Thank you." Karla breathed a sigh of relief as she hung up the cell phone.

"They're coming," she said to Syaoran and Nate, while she enviously watched Syaoran hold Sakura.

Slowly Syaoran nodded. "Good," he said, "let's get out of this alley-"

Suddenly they heard a low rustling sound behind them.

They turned around and

"Holy shit!" He cursed.

Behind them stood three- five guys who were also part of the rapist gang.

One guy stood up. "Not so fast."

Karla gasped.

Holy shit indeed.

A guy with spiky red hair stepped out of the shadows and into the light. Behind him followed five guys.

"Ah fuck," Syaoran cursed under his breath. He got up and handed Sakura to Nate as much as he hated to. "You guys bring her out of the alley and wait for the ambulance. Just do it," he said when he saw the hesitation in Karla's eyes.

Slowly they nodded and started to go.

"Your fights with me," he said to the leader. The leader seemed to hesitate, but Syaoran saw the look in his eyes: pride.

"Fine," he muttered. "But we'll have fun killing you."

Syaoran smirked. He turned back once to look over his shoulder and saw that they had made it out of the alley.

"I don't fucking think so. You guys don't know who I am."

The leader cackled. "I do. A stupid boy who thinks he's such a hot shot. Don't try to act like a hero boy or you'll end up in a stupid mess... like now."

Syaoran stared dead into his eyes. "Don't worry, I won't."

Suddenly, he ducked and rolled on his back dodging bullets that were aimed at him. He grabbed the first guy closest to him, and knocked the gun out of his hand, sending it all the way across the alley. Then he spun around and rammed his elbow into the guy's stomach. When the guy fell from the impact, Syaoran landed one on his face. "Nice, fucking try," he hissed.

He used the guy's body to shield himself, as he ducked other bullets that were aimed at him. When he heard a clicking sound, he dropped the dead guy and rolled on his back to get the gun that was kicked to the other side. He picked it up and rolled on his back, dodging several bullets.

"Boo." He said, popping two guy's heads.

"Shit! He's quick," a guy in the back shouted, reloading his gun. "Hurry!" The boss yelled, hitting him in the head.

Syaoran shot another guy on the arm, when the gun clicked.

"Fuck." It was the perfect time to run out of bullets. Oh well. No fucking matter. Syaoran did a flip and landed on his feet.

"Surprise," he said, shocking the guy he shot on the arm before. The guy spun around with the gun, but Syaoran took a hold of his hand and twisted it. He used the gun, still in the guy's hand and shot the second to last guy standing. (this is the guy, the boss smacked) Then when the guy dropped, Syaoran entwisted (ouchie...lolls) the guys arm and sprayed into his stomach. The guy's body shuddered from the impact before it dropped abruptly.

Silence

Syaoran dropped the gun and it fell onto the floor with a clatter. Slowly, he looked down at his hands drenched with blood.

Silence

"I don't know who you are, but I know that now I'm going to have to kill you for killing my men," the guy growled. He was the guy with the spiky red hair, the leader and he was also the only guy left standing.

Syaoran sighed. "I'm tired of this. You don't understand. You don't want to do this."

Syaoran looked up and met his eyes. "I could kill you even without trying."

Syaoran saw the shock in the guy's eyes as he stumbled from the impact of his words. Then the pride overtook him.

"You're just a puny boy. You can't kill me. I don't care!" He shouted. He stumbled and fell onto the floor.

Syaoran stood there watching the guy. "No you're wrong," he whispered. "I'm not just a boy." His voice was hoarse. "I was a boy, until my father started to train me. At the age of 9 I not only turned into a man, but a reckless killing machine, like him."

Silence

"You see I don't want to be like him. I never did... but you're giving me no choice."

The guy on the floor looked up at him with a horrified expression. "Trained? Reckless killing machine?" He wailed. Then his eyes trailed over to the dead bodies on the floor and he let out a high pitched scream/groan.

He got up instantly. "I don't care. I'm going to kill you!" He said, getting serious. He lunged at Syaoran with a knife he pulled out from his leg.

Syaoran shook his head sadly before he reached into his pocket and pulled out a knife too.

Clang! The knives struck each other with a sharp, ear-splitting noise.

The guys stared at each other eye to eye as they both struggled. There breathing hitched and became harder when...

The red haired guy moved his legs and tripped Syaoran. He fell onto the ground hard with the guy, as the guy pinned him against the cement floor.

His eyes glistened brightly as he let out a hyena-like cackle. "I'm going to kill you stupid boy. Weren't you just threatening me before about how I don't know who you were?" He raised his head to the moon and laughed wildly. Then he brought his hands down hard onto Syaoran's shoulder. "Well, I told you. You are a stupid, stupid brat who's going to die." Their eyes met.

"W-what?"

Syaoran looked at him with amusing eyes. All of a sudden Syaoran pushed the guy off of him and crushed him against the floor. He held his knife against the guy's neck. Drops of blood trailed down his neck from the thin line the knife made.

Syaoran panted, trying to regulate his breath as he stared down at the guy. "I never wanted it to end up this way," he said, when a silver chain fell from under his shirt and dangled around his neck.

The guy looked up at the chain around his neck and gasped.

"Yo-you-you're........."

The silver chain around his neck hung a real gold rectangular tag with fancy silver linings on the edges. In the middle, inscribed in the gold was a stunning silver wolf with piercing snow white eyes. Underneath the inscribing held two sacred, very important words: Li Syaoran.

"Yo-you'you're Li Syaoran from the dangerous wolves." He stuttered looking into Syaoran's eyes for the first time with a new light.

Syaoran looked down at the guy sadly, before he slowly moved his head down so his lips were next to the guys ears.

"I told you..." He whispered, his voice cracking. "Once you get me started, I really am the reckless killing machine my father wanted me to be." He laughed silently to himself. He was going fucking insane and he liked it. He liked the killing. It made him feel good.

"N-no!"

"Goodbye," Syaoran whispered sweetly, before he ran the knife in the guys head. He got up, looked down and laughed while he watched the guys head roll around on the floor.

His eyes held a panic-stricken look.

"Sakura!" Karla shouted. "Come back!"

Syaoran perched up, hearing the unfamiliar name.

His eyes met shocked emeralds. Jade stood there with her hands at her sides looking down at him, as he stood there drenched in the blood of people he had fun killing.

She had a disgusted look in her face and then slowly it turned into a sad, lost look. "I can't blame you," she whispered. "I grew up the same way as you did."

Syaoran saw a limp in her walk as she came to him. Everything seemed to move in slow motion.

Behind Jade, he saw Karla running to her, but all he could focus his gaze on was Jade's solemn, so lonely looking face.

She seemed to smile at him a little. "I'm sorry I couldn't beat them," she whispered, "sensei..."

In a split second, Jade dropped and Syaoran was by her side, holding her frail body.

"Sakura!" He heard Karla call, and then stop when she saw that Syaoran had her.

"Sakura," he whispered, letting the beautiful name flow from his lips. He didn't understand it. 'Isn't her name Jade?'

Syaoran looked down at her pale, lovely face and brushed back her hair away from her face.

'I can't blame you. I grew up the same way as you did.' Her words ran through his mind, making him confused by each growing second. 'What did she mean?'

He fingered her soft hair with his fingers gently and grazed his nails over her smooth lips. He wanted to kiss them so badly.

But those questions he had about her held him back.

"Who are you?" He whispered.

All he could feel was the wind blowing his unruly hair and the coolness of her skin brushing against his.

All he could feel was Sakura's weak body in his arms and the way her body felt so right next to his.

'What are you doing to me?' He sighed.

Today was a long night.

"We're so sorry. There was traffic on the road and the police had to close the road. A bunch of tourists found dead bodies in the forest a few feet away from the road," the guy tried to explain.

Syaoran nodded, as he watched the guy's load Sakura's body into the back of the ambulance. Dead bodies? It was no doubt a gang match...

"Okay, we're ready to go. Are you going with her?" A guy asked. When Syaoran was about to climb into the ambulance, he felt a hand pull him back. He turned around to see Karla's persistent face. She still wanted what was to happen, to happen.

Syaoran looked at the ambulance guy's face with hesitation.

"No," he finally bit out. The guy nodded and boarded the car.

The three of them watched as the ambulance carried Sakura's body away.

When the wailing faded, the three of them turned to look at each other.

Silence filled them.

"Uh... how about we go home..." Karla started.

"I'll take you home," Nate said, taking Karla's hands in his. She answered by uncurling her hand in his.

"No, I'm going to go with Syaoran," she said. "Because his house is closer to mine," she added quickly. "And.... Because I know you're tired and I don't want to burden you," she said.

"But-"

Karla gave him a searing kiss.

"Okay," Nate said all dazed out. "I'll see you then. Bye honey," he waved, before he floated happily away.

"That guy's a fucking prick," Syaoran bit out. "That is if you don't mind me saying."

Karla just smiled at him lightly. "Of course I don't. It's you I want," she said seductively.

Syaoran felt the hairs on his skin tingle. Oh god, after what had happened tonight, he didn't want to do it with Karla. But...

"Let's go," Syaoran said, leading her to where he left his car.

Syaoran silently followed Karla, up the stairs to her apartment.

He couldn't think.

Every time he thought about Karla, emerald eyes flashed in his head......

"Come in," Karla said, opening the door to a spacious room.

He stepped in and looked around at the place.

It was a gorgeous two room suite, decorated with white vanilla colored furniture and beige painted walls.

God, what was he doing here?

"Syaoran."

He turned around to the soft voice calling him.

"Take off your shirt. It's covered in blood." Karla said.

When he didn't, she seductively came over to him and pulled the shirt over his head for him. Then, she wrapped her arms around his warm body and trailed hot kisses from his neck, down to the area above his chest.

Her breath against his skin; tingled. He wrapped his arm around her waist, picked her up and gave her a longing, lustful kiss.

Karla giggled, as Syaoran carried her to her room.

Before the door closed, Karla's black bra was left lying on the living room floor.

The car pulled up to Karla's apartment and Mei Lin got out of the taxi.

Anthony waited for her, while she went to get her cell.

She signed her name and thanked the lady who gave her the number to Karla's room.

Mei Lin's POV

I tapped my nails against the door as I waited for someone to answer the door.

Finally it opened and Karla stood in front of me with a pink robe that was left open in the front so it clearly showed cleavage.

I didn't think anything of this display.

"Hey." She said shocked. "What are you doing here?"

"Hey to you too." I said sarcastically. "I just saw you a few minutes before." I laughed.

Then I remembered. "Oh yea, um, Mimi says you have my cell."

She nodded and gestured for me to enter.

I waited as Karla went inside to get the phone.

I was flipping through some of her magazines when I heard water running from the bathroom.

I smirked. Nate was getting lucky tonight wasn't he?

The smile on my face didn't stay for long when the guy from the bathroom came out.

Syaoran came out wearing only a towel.

"Fuck." I cursed. First he ditched me for the Roxy bitch and now he's doing it with my friend Karla?

Karla came out then too. She saw the look on my face and froze.

I jumped up and snatched the phone out of her hands.

"Mei Lin, it's now how it looks!" Syaoran said, as his hands flung out and grabbed onto my arm.

"It's exactly how it looks..." I hissed. "Thanks for the phone," I told Karla and I left the building.

I ran into the taxi and when Anthony saw the look on my face he took me into his arms and cradled me.

He didn't say anything...

That's why I love him.

flashback what really happened

I placed her down onto her bed gently and stared down at her with plain lust.

Her eyes held the same emotion.

I stooped down to kiss her and gently caressed her lips.

Slowly the kiss became deeper and deeper.

She wrapped her arms around my neck and rubbed her body against mine.

I groaned as her lips trailed downwards.

I wanted this. I did...

Suddenly oh, god...

"Wait..." I whispered.

Emerald eyes flashed in my head.

Karla looked up at me and her eyes met mine.

Her caramel colored orbs suddenly turned emerald.

"What?" She whispered, but all I heard were those sad, defeated words.

"I'm sorry I couldn't beat them, sensei..."

I smiled a slow smile remembering that she had called me sensei.

Karla smiled back at me thinking the smile was meant for her.

She reached in to kiss me again, but I moved away and cut her off.

I took her hair and brushed it behind her ear instead.

All I was thinking about was the way my fingers felt, gently caressing Jade's/ Sakura's hair...

All I was thinking about was the way her lips felt when I grazed my nails over them... soft.

And then at that moment I wondered how her lips would feel... against mine.

"Whoa!" I stumbled off the bed and jumped up quickly.

I didn't just think that, did I?

Jade's face flashed in my mind.

That sad, slow smile she gave me before she collapsed replayed over and over.

Suddenly I was so guilty that I was standing here.

"What are you doing?" Karla asked.

Her sweet, sing song voice brought me back to reality.

"I- I can't. Do you mind if I just take a shower? I need to be somewhere else now."

Karla looked like she had been slapped in the face. "E-excuse me?" She stuttered.

"Don't make me repeat myself." I bit out. My voice was back and it came out rougher than I'd intended.

Karla was taken back, but she nodded and pointed the way to the bathroom.

"Thank you," I said, glad that she understood. I gave her a soft kiss on the cheek, before I left to take a quick shower.

The truth came to me.

I'd chosen Jade over Karla.
