I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!  you miss me? Lol. U probably missed the story more than me am I right? TT I'm hurt! Lol anywayz….this chapters gonna be longer, just cuz I feel like it….o and I guess there was some confusion about this, I forgot to put a comma in between Kiyoshi and Kinomoto. But Aomiri Kiyoshi is in no way related to Sakura. Ok? Ok. Now let's get this story started already!

…ahem, this is just to answer the questions some of you asked me in your reviews.

Kawaii Bunnii- an I.V. line is that thing that they stick in your arm in the hospital, that all the fluids go through to get into your bloodstream. They really really really hurt. It takes them like 50 times just to find a vein their happy with in me. My arm is always a big purple blob afterwards.

ch1n3se-grl- the guy that was outside was just some crack-pot spy for Aomiri, not important in the least.

Sillysinny- Yes Tomoyo and Sakura will become friends, very good friends might I add.

PinkCh3rryBlossom- if I had known they were gonna be serving cheesecake I wouldn't have touched the jello or the pie believe you me. I think they were trying to torture me…I was wondering why no one was eating dessert…o well they were merciful in the end and cut me a piece for later. 

huntressofthemoon- I can't answer your question…I guess you'll just have to keep reading to find out lol. Don't' kill me!

Chapter 3

Syaoran was currently sitting in the lobby of the hospital trying to get a hold of his boss. He had paged him five minutes ago, and he was still waiting for a call back. He almost jumped out of his skin when his phone vibrated indicating someone was trying to reach him. He must've accidentally set it on vibrate.

He picked up the phone and answered it. "Li."

He heard his boss' voice on the other end. "Li, I just got off the phone with Agent Nimoshi, apparently, Akita hadn't changed his address since he broke up with the Kinomoto girl. Anyway it doesn't look too good. He's got pictures of her everywhere, some of them…well let's just say quite revealing. My gut feeling is the only reason he stopped stalking her was because he was out of the country on a job. Now that he's back, well I don't think it's about to get any better. Anyways, you get anything out of the girl yet?"

"Yeah, boss, she said she overheard Akita talking about the Phoenix project."

There was a brief moment of silence on the other end, "Are you sure? How?"

"Apparently Akita would get numerous calls on his cell phone from his employer, he'd never speak in front of her but I guess on one occasion he left the bathroom door open, and she overheard it. She says he told her he worked for the government so she didn't question anything he did. Boss, she said that she can't remember the names off the top of her head, but she'd know them if she ever heard them again."

"Well if that's the case, then we have to assume that Aomiri already knows about all of this."

"But how? She's been under constant surveillance, no one has been allowed in or out."

Syaoran heard his boss sigh, "Li, you know as well as I do that Aomiri has his spies everywhere. We have no choice but to put her in witness protection."

Syaoran nodded to himself, "Alright, in the meantime I'll have Hiirigizawa help her look through some names of some of the people we suspect to have had dealings with Aomiri, rack her brain a little."

"Right, I'll have the profilers get started on her new identity. Oh and Li, go easy on the girl, she was just raped for crying out loud, don't go in there blowing your horn on her, that's an order, I'll make sure that Hiirgizawa keeps you in line clear?"

Syaoran sighed, not liking the idea of Eriol, 'keeping him in line' "Crystal, sir."

"Good. I'll call you once we've got the girl's identity set up."

"Alright."

With that he hung up. 'This is gonna be a long night.' Syaoran thought to himself.

While Sakura was sleeping Eriol was keeping watch. He wasn't allowed inside of the room, for obvious reasons, so he was sitting in a chair just outside her door, going through files on Akita. He heard Syaoran walk up to him, "So what did the big boss say my cute little descendent?"

Syaoran growled, "For the 987,483,291,204th time DON'T CALL ME THAT!"

Eriol smiled the smile that always managed to creep Syaoran out. "Why not?"

"Well for one I'm not little, nor am I your descendent! In fact I'm freakin older than you! So how can I possibly be your descendent!"

"So you admit your cute then?" Eriol said still smiling.

Syaoran's fists were clenched, "ERIOL! WOULD YOU JUST SHUTTUP!"

Eriol looked thoughtful for a moment, "hmmm, nope."

Syaoran took a deep breath trying to quell his anger. "Whatever. Boss said that she's going into witness protection, he's already got the profilers working on her new identity."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Hmmm. You know that she's going to need someone to protect her, or at the very least get the information from her, and it could take weeks to get that kind of information and from the sounds of it, the boss wants her out of here ASAP."

"What are you getting to?"

"I'm just saying what's probably going to happen."

"And what's that Eriol?"

"Wouldn't you like to know." He stated as his mischievous smile returned to his face.

Before Syaoran could question him any further, Eriol's cell rang. "Another time dear cousin." he said before answering it.

Syaoran was mumbling incoherent curses as Eriol opened his flip-phone. "Yes?" he said walking away from Syaoran.

"Hiirigizawa. I'd like you to make sure Syaoran doesn't do anything too drastic with that girl. Heavens knows she needs her rest, and we both know how determined Syaoran is to get Akita." His boss' voice rang over the phone.

"Yes yes you don't have to worry about a thing. I heard that you've already got profilers working on this."

"That's correct." The boss said warily, not knowing where this was going to, then again with Hiirigizawa he never knew where anything was going to.

"Well obviously she can't just spend the entire time alone."

"Yes we've taken that under consideration."

"I'd like to make a recommendation, as to whom we should send in with her."

"Oh? And who do you have in mind?"

"Agent Li." Eriol stated smirking.

"What do you mean? Li's the best on this case we need him here Hiirigizawa."

"Yes, he is the best, that's why you should send him with Kinomoto. Look boss, without Kinomoto the only thing we've got on Aomiri and Akita are paper trails and off-shore bank accounts, that's not going to get us anywhere. This girl is the best chance we've got to locating them, and to bringing them down. That's why I think Li should be the one who goes with her."

"I'll keep that in mind Hiirigizawa thanks for the suggestion."

"No problemo boss." He said then hung up.

He walked back towards Syaoran who had taken the seat he had been sitting in only seconds ago. "Who was that?"

"The Boss. Who else?" (I don't feel like naming him so for right now, he's going to be known as 'The Boss.')

"What'd he want?" Syaoran asked not looking up from the papers on Aomiri and Akita.

"Oh, just making sure I keep you in line, that's all."

Syaoran rolled his eyes. 'This one's gonna go straight to his head.' He thought.

As soon as he thought that Nurse Daidouji came out of Sakura's room. "Would you boys keep it quiet! She may have just taken a sleeping drug, but with you two out here arguing like this, the drug won't be able to do its job! So…SHUT THE HECK UP!" she whispered violently.

Eriol, being the gentleman, stepped forward. "I apologize on behalf for the both of us. I don't believe we realized that how loud we really were."

Tomoyo flashed Eriol a smile, and Syoaran a scowl before she once again returned to Sakura's room and shut the door.

The next morning

Tomoyo and Sakura were talking animatedly when Syaoran entered. To him it almost seemed like Sakura had never been raped. Then he remembered what the shrink had said, 'She's hiding it rather well. If I hadn't been trained I wouldn't have noticed it.'

Sakura looked up when he walked in, she instantly became guarded again. She couldn't let herself ever trust another men again. Never. "Li-san." She said simply.

Syaoran bowed, "Kinomoto-san. I just thought you should know, that you will be placed in protective custody, you will leave tonight. I don't' know all the details, but I just thought I should warn you. A hair and make-up crew will be coming in here today to change your looks, and you will be given papers and identification that you will need to study."

Sakura merely nodded. "So I am going to be in witness protection then?"

"Yes, I'm afraid so."

Sakura bit her lip, "I see, do you have any idea how long?"

Syaoran sighed and ran a hand through his messy chestnut hair that he hadn't been brushed since yesterday morning, "Honestly? I have no idea. It could be weeks, months years even."

Sakura nodded sadly. "Alright. Thank you Agent Li."

Syaoran bowed once again and left. Right after he left she turned to Tomoyo, "Oh Tomoyo-chan, I don't want to leave. I don't want to be someone else, why of all people did this have to happen to me? Why am I the one being punished?"

Tomoyo smiled sadly, "I know Sakura-chan, I felt the same way when my father left my mother and me, but it'll work out for the best. You'll see."

"I sure hope so."

A few hours later a woman appeared in the doorway. "Hello I'm Yamazaki Chiharu! I'll be doing your hair and make-up today."

"Kinomoto Sakura." She replied warily. This girl was quite hyper.

Chiharu brought over a big huge bag and set it down on the floor beside the bed. Then she pulled up a chair right beside her. "Well let's get started shall we?" she pulled out some papers from the bag and handed them to Sakura. "Ok here's your cover, your name is Hayley Ang. You're 21, married, and you and your husband Chris were born in the states. You live in Payson, Utah (sorry to all of you who hate Utah, but I think it's the best state, maybe its cuz I'm mormon but o well, I think its awesome and my aunt and uncle and grandparents live in Payson, so I know a lot about the scenery and everything.)

"Whoa whoa whoa." Sakura interrupted. "I'm married? Who the heck am I married to?"

Chiharu looked up. "You and another agent. You will be married as Christopher and Hayley Ang."

"Ok….who is this agent?"

Chiharu looked at her with sympathy, "I don't know. They didn't tell me." (You all really thought that she was gonna say Syaoran didn't you? Hahahahah well she didn't. I thought about it. But then Sakura would be too upset afterwards.)

Sakura nodded not exactly comfortable with the idea of living with another man. But she shrugged it off. 'If it keeps you alive long enough to see that bastard Akita in prison then so be it.'

Chiharu went on unfazed. "Okay you're very rich, you're father owned a very large estate, and died of natural causes, and since you were the only child, and your mother was already deceased, you inherited everything."

Sakura nodded trying to take all this in. "Your husband Chris is going to work for the local PD, and you are a stay-at-home wife. You have no relatives that you know of, a few distant ones, but none that you are in close contact with. There is a whole lot more, but not enough time to explain, you can review everything on the plane ride over to America."

Sakura nodded trying to store all this information in the back of her mind. "Well let's get started on your hair and make-up then shall we?" producing a portable sink and a whole lot of hair care products from the bag. Tomoyo was trying to look in the bag, which didn't seem big enough to carry all that stuff around. Sakura sweatdropped.

When Chiharu was finished she handed a mirror to Sakura. When she looked in the mirror Sakura gasped. She couldn't even recognize herself! She now had long raven black hair ending just below her shoulder blades, and her once emerald green eyes, were now a dark sapphire blue.

"Oh Sakura-chan you look so kawaii!" Tomoyo said excitedly, while jumping up and down in her seat.

Sakura sweatdropped. 'Oh, boy, here we go again!'

Chiharu, who was quite pleased with her work turned back to Sakura, "Ok, now remember, Hayley is rich, and very superficial. You are to go to a salon and get a manicure, pedicure, and re-dye your hair every two weeks. The whole works. You understand?"

"Every TWO WEEKS!" Sakura practically yelled utterly flabbergasted.

"Yup. Oh and before I forget, a car will arrive in a few hours, it'll take you back to your apartment to gather just a few personal belongings. Don't take too much stuff we want to make it look like you never left ok?"

"Why?"

"Well…" Chiharu lowered her voice down to whisper so that Tomoyo and Sakura had to lean in to hear it. "We're sending in an agent to pose as you, that way if Akita comes looking for you we can nab him and make him tell us where Aomiri is. Then after we find him you can come back home!"

Sakura nodded. Well sounds like a plan to me. Then she remembered Touya, "What about my brother?"
"Anyone who would notice that the agent is not you has been informed of your situation. Needless to say your brother didn't like it one bit."

Sakura laughed a little, she could imagine the FBI trying to calm down her brother over the phone. He was in Europe currently attending a school for superior chefs. He was supposed to be back next week.

"Alright when does the flight leave?"

"Tonight at 9. Well." Chiharu said exasperatingly as she stood up. "I'd best be on my way. I have a lot more work to do, apparently you're not the only one who's in dire need of protection today." Chiharu winked at her, then lightly touched her arm and smiled, "Good luck Sakura. I hope to see you soon!"

Sakura smiled a little, "You too. Thanks Chiharu."

"Don't mention it." She stated laughingly as she walked out of the door.

When she met Syaoran and Eriol in the hallway she walked past them and called back, "She's all yours boys! If you hurt her, I'll make your lives a living Hades!"

Just then Chiharu's cell rang, she stopped and answered it. "Yamazaki."

"Yamazaki. You're staying. It's agent Li's turn now."

Chiharu practically choked, "You mean your sending that idiot in with my Sakura-chan! Uh-uh no way no how!"

The boss laughed. "Never thought I'd see the day when Mrs. Yamazaki Chiharu defends a client. But yes I'm sending him in as her husband. Just do your job Yamazaki I'm not in the mood for an argument."

"But sir—"

"Yamazaki…"

"Yes, sir." She stated tartly then hung up her phone.

She walked back to where Li and Hiirigizawa stood. "Thought you were leaving Yamazaki." Syaoran stated coldly.

"Trust me I wanted to, but I got new orders."

Before he could delve any deeper Li's cell rang. "Li."

"Li, it's me. I've decided I'm going to send you undercover while Kinomoto is in Witness Protection."

Inwardly Syaoran was jumping for joy. It'd been awhile since he went undercover. "Ok boss just tell me who, what, when, where, how and why."

He heard him chuckle over the phone. "Well Li, you're going undercover as Chris Ang. You're going to be Kinomoto's husband."

"WHAT!" his voice rang through every hallway of the hospital, even scaring off a few birds outside of it.

"Yamazaki will fill you in on everything. And Li, this isn't optional, it's an order. Good luck."

The phone went dead. Li turned to Chiharu who was expertly cracking her knuckles, "I've been wanting to do this for a looooooooooooooong time."

Syaoran gulped. This was definitely not his day.

-a/n heheheheheheheheheh I know you probably didn't want it to end there…but I'm tired, and I have a headache and I want to shower, really really bad. So I'm gonna leave it off here. Don't worry I'll update in a few days! ;)
