"Talking"

(Me Talking)

Sakura's POV

~ Who knew cops were so stupid? ~ Sakura wiped some blood off her cheek, and rested her hands in her pockets.

I should thank them though; they did give me a ride to Saturn. I would have had to steal somebody's ticket… waste of time stealing is. Not much my style either. But, if I have to I will.

Using the money I made was not part of my plan… it never had been. People thought I killed for money… when really I am just trying to kill my past… something most cannot accomplish.

I take pride in knowing I can do what most can't… money is not important, reputation isn't important, and knowing people fear me is not important. All that is important is destroying my past… destroying it all.

I sipped my red wine slowly, letting the crimson liquid burn down my throat. Once a sucker… always a sucker. Wine and me will always go hand and hand.

"You are a little young to be drinking," someone said behind me.

"Syaoran, what are you doing he- you."

"Me," the male with dark brown eyes said.

I sipped my wine acting calmly. "Couldn't resist coming could you?"

"Never could."

"You're a bettin' kind of man, aren't ya?"

"You know me best or so you say."

"I know enough to know you are a dead man."

"I know enough to know you don't have the guts."

"Since, you like betting. Why don't we have a little bet on it?"

"Some things aren't worth losing money over."

"Or maybe some bets you know you will lose."

"You can't kill me."

I held up my gun, and cocked it back. I looked him straight in the eyes, and the bullet hit him straight in the side.

There, in the previously calm bar, all hell broke loose. People were running around, screaming, and looking nervously around them. Some older men got trampled on by the youths in the club rushing to get out.

~ Young people these days... ~ Sakura thought smiling.

She turned from the scene of chaos, and laid her eyes on the man lying on the floor.

Bending closer towards him she smiled. "You won't die now, but you will die soon, Touya."

"Don't count on it."

I smirked and walked out the door. "Count on it, brother. Count on it."

He observed the room quietly. He saw drunks trying to drink their sorrows away, hookers selling their body for money, greedy men losing their money over a poker game, gang members getting ready to gang up on some poor innocent soul.

'This is my life...' he sighed.

Getting comfortable he looked at his glass pressing his lips on it, and letting the bitter liquid slide down his throat burning his insides in the process.

There was nothing better than a cool glass of alcohol at one AM.

"Another round, Li?"

"Keep them coming."

"This is a lot; even for you. Problems?"

"Women."

"Ah, I understand that well."

"You probably do. Duck left side to the north."

The bartender grabbed a glass and ducked his head a little, a bullet nicking his hair.

Syaoran sipped his drink once more. "Knew I wouldn't get any peace."

"Li Syaoran."

It was a statement not a question.

"The one and only. What can I do for you, besides the obvious killing thing?"

"Kinomoto Sakura."

"Never heard of her."

"Don't fuck with me," the male said coming out from the shadows, his brown hair falling in front of his brown eyes.

Syaoran licked his lips, alcohol still left imbedded in his skin. Savoring the taste he turned to look at the person disturbing his peace. "This Sakura person. Must be pretty special if you came after me with a gun, and missing might I add."

"Special isn't really the word."

Syaoran smelt the fresh scent of blood, and directed his eyes towards the stranger. "I'm guessing you all ready had a run in with this gal, and she got you good."

"She was toying with me, but you should know how that is since you are her lover."

"Lover? I have never been any one's lover. I take pride on knowing no woman can tie me down. They are a waste of time."

"You once took pride on knowing that, but you don't any more."

"Is there a reason why you are here asking me about a woman's whereabouts if you all ready know where she is?"

"She will come after me."

"Most people do. Now is there a point to that statement or are you just wasting time."

The male bit his lip. "She won't kill me."

"She will." Syaoran said getting up, leaving money on the table. "She will."

Syaoran knew the male would try to stop him, but he beat him to the punch. "Don't stop me. The woman that you speak of and I have no ties with. Now, if you excuse me I have some business to take care of, and now so do you."

Just as he was supposed to open the door he said, "Duck."

The male automatically ducked, and a bullet just missed his head. Hissing the male stood up.

"Fuck."

"Guess whose is back?" Sakura taunted.

Syaoran watched, in amusement, his lovers face before turning from her, shaking his head and calmly exiting the building.

~*~

He was walking down the road, hands in his pockets, whistling a tune he was listening to in the bar. He heard laughing and felt a gush of air fly his way. He watched a man run past him with a woman behind him in hot pursuit.

"Running never helps, Touya," The woman cooed as she accidentally brushed Syaoran.

Syaoran smiled slightly, but it suddenly turned into a frown. It took a while to sink in, but why was Sakura toying with this man called Touya? She could kill anyone in a few seconds flat, and yet there she was chasing after him with a smile on her face, none of which was filled with hatred and passion, as it was when she killed people.

"I'm not running, Sakura."

"What do you call it than?"

"Fleeing," with that said the male disappeared as if magically.

Sakura sighed. "Oh well, there is always tomorrow."

Smirking at Syaoran she walked past him, 'accidentally' touching him and sending his emotions afire. He quickly concealed himself… there was something else worth checking out, and until then he couldn't and wouldn't let his love get in the way.

Waiting outside a bar, Syaoran glared at the stars.

~ Damn things need to dim down. ~ He thought while rubbing his temples.

"You're waiting for me."

"What do you know about Sakura?"

"More than you ever will. Come inside the bar," Touya said entering, Syaoran trailing behind.

Sitting down at the bar Touya looked over his shoulder. "I knew she would come back for me once she killed the twins. Son of bitch."

Touya rubbed his shoulder a little, as Syaoran looked on.

"Tell me why she is 'killing her past.'"

"One day while she was out in the park a male, by the name of Mouse, killed her mother by stabbing her. Sakura was left standing there, bloody mother in hand. The twins found her, took her, and taught her everything they knew. Only later did she find out that the twins were the ones who sent Mouse to kill her mother. Seems her mother had a few millions and a past hidden from us," Touya took a sip of his drink, "She was called Sapphire Blue."

"Sapphire Blue? Famous con artist. Married over twenty times… husbands all ended up dead. Always wore a Sapphire necklace around her neck."

"The one and only. Seems the twin's father had gotten caught in Sapphire's trap… he lost everything, even the inheritance the twins were supposed to get when their father crooked. The twins sought out to get revenge, and they did by taking her daughter, and slaughtering her."

"Seems the people who worked with her mother, (Acid, Lena, Ivy, and Thorn) planned to dispose of her long before the twins did. They purposely proposed that her mother try to get the twin's father's money knowing that the twins would dispose of her once they found out that their inheritance was stolen."

Touya took a deep breath. "Sakura, not only wanted revenge for her mother's death, but also revenge for herself. The Four women made Sakura's life a living hell… it was about time Sakura lost it."

Syaoran nodded slightly. He finally knew what made her drive… revenge. "What does this have to do with you?"

"Because I am her-" before Touya could finish a gun was shot, and it hit it's target.

"Bulls eye."

"Sakura."

"Syaoran."

Well, you know some of Sakura's past. Yes, I did say some. You know why she kills… what drives her. You know why she killed the people she did, but there are a few more secrets. R+R!
