The Ice-cream Parlour: Power Hungry

"So this is the famous Li Syaoran and Kinomoto Sakura, eh?" a low voice jeered. It belonged to a white blonde guy with weird red eyes, probably the leader of this so-called gang. The rest of the twenty-nine who stood behind him sniggered.

Blood Phoenix and the Dragoons were still lying or kneeling the ground, making them seem so small compared to the new group of people who were standing up.

"Speak up, oh great Li and Kinomoto," hissed the scarlet-eyed newcomer with a smug smirk on his face.

"Don't you dare order me around, scum," Sakura's eyes narrowed into thin slits. "Who do you think you are?"

"Takai Haka, leader of the Hatashi Sharks, from Hatashi High."

Asuka was confused. "There's no such thing as Hatashi High."

A girl with long black hair and piercing silver eyes spoke. "Yeah there is. The building was finished two weeks ago." She was standing next to Haka and she was clinging to his arm. Obviously his girlfriend. "And it's only about three kilometres from your precious Tomoeda High. We started school last week," she added.

"And you formed your own gang already? Now that's impressive." Eriol said with sarcasm. Blood Phoenix and the Dragoons were formed in elementary school. He knew that compared to them, the Hatashi Sharks are probably worth nothing.

"Of course." said the girl, not realizing it was sarcastic.

"Just because you're big in your school, doesn't mean you're big here." Syaoran growled, clenching his fists in anger.

"Oh but we will be." replied another girl, an over-tanned white blond, carelessly; checking her perfectly manicured two-inch nails.

Sakura elbowed herself up. "And who are you, you weird over-tanned carrot?" she snickered. The blond girl had an obvious fake tan, which was probably applied incorrectly, because she appeared more orange than light brown. Syaoran nearly laughed at Sakura's comment, but just caught himself when he realized he was just about to laugh at Sakura's joke.

The white blond look up and was clearly enraged. She was about to snap something offensive back, when she was cut off by her own leader, Haka. "Now, let's be civilized here, Haida."

Haka turned back to Sakura. "She's my twin sister, Takai Haida. Can't you tell by our eyes?" Haka's and Haida's weird red eyes were definitely the same. And plus, their white blond hair were nearly the same length, just that Haida's were slightly longer. How could they not be related?

"You know, actually, it's very obvious that you're twins. I mean," giggled Meimi. "Haka and Haida look the same, because Haka looks gay and Hada looks manly." Both the Dragoons and Blood Phoenix laughed out loud. In fact, some people from the Sharks had laughed too, but they had their hands over their mouths.

Haka was furious. He death-glared Meimi but she didn't flinch. "You would wish you didn't say that later, you insignificant little ant."

"Whatever." Meimi rolled her eyes.

The girl with black hair and silver eyes broke away from Haka and walked up to Meimi. She poked at Meimi's chest with her finger and snapped angrily, "You don't know who you're messing with. Don't you dare insult my boyfriend!"

Meimi pushed her forcefully back, making her topple backwards...into the arms of Haka. "Don't. Touch. Me." hissed Meimi, blue eyes glowering.

Haka looked down with concern. "Kaito...are you alright?" The black-haired girl nodded slowly as he helped her up.

"You will pay for that." Haka said quietly. "I thought we could solve this without any arguments. But I guess I was wrong."

'Oh no...what happens if I provoked him and start a duel right now? We're all injured now...how can we fight?' Meimi thought. She stood her ground but she seemed to be lost for words; she didn't know what to do.

To her surprise, Asuka stepped in front of her, facing Haka. "Listen, I don't know what your problem is, but you must have a reason to be here. And what were you talking about...what are we going to solve?"

"Well, since Hatashi High is so close to Tomoeda High, we need to settle the boundaries."

Syaoran's eyes flared up with a raging fire. "Boundaries? Boundaries! The Dragoons own half of Tomoeda-"

"And Blood Phoenix controls the other," finished Sakura with the same fire in her eyes.

"But your two gangs are from the same school," Haka explained with extreme calm.

"Does it matter? Your school is probably tiny. Your gang is unimportant. Besides, not many gangs have the privilege of owning territories. Do you see the Jikoto Spiders from Jikoto High, about five streets away from us, having their share?" said Sakura.

"Or the Tomcats from Reichi Grammar having anything? They're not that different from you." Syaoran said, annoyed that Haka was still so composed. Tomoyo and Eriol glanced at each other. This was definitely a first. Since when was Sakura and Syaoran ever on the same side?

"No, my friend," Haka replied in a cold tone. "They are different from us. We have magic. They don't."

Sakura looked amused. "Yes they do. It's just that they're weak; we beat Jikoto in about five minutes."

"And the Dragoons killed the Tomcats in three," confirmed Syaoran proudly.

"Which basically means they have no real magic. You know, the kind that can do damage," Haida interrupted.

"You mean, dark magic," said Eriol coolly.

Tomoyo twirled a strand of hair around her finger. "I'm sorry but we don't specialize in dark magic."

"You don't, but you specialize in elemental magic; which is just as strong," explained Haka. He didn't know that Sakura and Syaoran used card magic.

"Get to your point, Takai!" growled Syaoran venomously.

Haka appeared irritated but continued smoothly, "We need to settle boundaries, which means we have to fight. Hatashi High against Tomoeda High."

Asuka looked incredulous. "Now?!"

"Of course not, you nitwit," retorted Haida, breaking her silence.

"Haida," warned Haka his sister. He turned back to Blood Phoenix and the Dragoons, who were still on the ground, unhealed. "Since you're so pathetically injured now then there's no point having a duel, is there? We're going to have mercy on you," he grinned impishly, red eyes giving off a neon glow.

Haida also grinned like her brother and it was uncanny how similar they looked. "You have a few weeks until we will meet again. During that time, do whatever you can to get stronger, because," she said, examining her red nails again casually, "we won't go easy on you."

Both Blood Phoenix and the Dragoons were shocked. What THE HELL was the Sharks and what THE HELL were they going to do? And worse, what if Hatashi High actually wins? The six people on the floor felt their stomachs drop. They were all trying to process this information.

Eriol was the first to answer. "What makes you think you'll win?"

Kaito, who was still hugging Haka's arm, cackled loudly. "We won't be giving any secrets away," she said.

"But what we will tell you is," Haka said, "that you probably need to think about which part of Tomoeda you want to give up."

"I rather like this park," Haida said, looking around.

"Haka...I want the ice-cream parlour!" whined Kaito, her head leaning on his shoulder, silver puppy eyes looking up at him.

"Shh...I'll wrap it up with paper and give it to you as a present," he whispered in her ear.

Syaoran and Sakura flinched when they heard this. Mr Mikarzhi's ice-cream parlour was their favourite hangout spot in the whole of Tomoeda; they were fighting over it since they were kids.

"Haka, you forgot something," Haida reminded, "You have to tell them where the fight's gonna be."

"Oh yes," Haka answered, "In the city, perhaps? No, there's no space. This park? No, I want this duel to be formal. I want the whole of Tomoeda see how useless they are. Hmm...what about..."

"Chinatown?" piped up Kaito.

"Good idea my little kite," chuckled Haka. "Chinatown it is, then."

Syaoran stood up painfully. "Chinatown it is, then," he growled, clutching the bleeding cut on his leg.

"Don't stress yourself, little wolf," Haka said coolly, "We're leaving now anyway."

"Then leave," Sakura hissed. She also stood up, blood tricking down her cheek.

Haka gave her a look of pure loathing, but decided to leave without having another argument. He signaled his gang, and one by one, they all disappeared in a grey cloud of skull-shaped smoke.

The last thing Blood Phoenix and the Dragoons saw was a pair of red eyes.

A man with a cape laughed silently to himself, hiding behind the bushes, watching the whole scene. "It will happen soon, my children," he whispered.
