Chapter Two: Sakura in Action
Disclaimer: I forgot to put one in for chapter one so I'm going to do it here. I don't own Card Captor Sakura as much as I would love to though.
Author's Note: Chapter one was a bit weird and was short too. I hope you'll enjoy this chapter. More of what I said in the summary will start to show up in this chapter. Also I would like to thank those who reviewed the first chapter.
Thank you: Knda Crazie, dbzgtfan2004, and mysteriousmayhemmaker.
I would also like to address a comment that Knda Crazie made. I didn't mean to make this story sound like Amazing Agent Luna. Actually, I haven't read that one yet but that is on my to-do list. I'll make sure that this story will not be a copy of Amazing Agent Luna.
Chapter Two
Sakura stood on top of the Li Building, preparing herself for the actual mission. She was dressed all in black. She had on long black pants, a long sleeved black shirt, and of course a mask to cover up her face.
Earlier, she had had a bit of trouble losing the amber-eyed boy. 'Hmm…I wonder what he wanted? Well, it doesn't matter now, I have work to do.'
Slowly and stealthily, Sakura started walking towards the glass dome at the center of the building. The glass dome would lead her directly into Jing Long's office.
Sakura POV
Okay, the glass dome will lead me to where I need to be. All the important files should be inside the office. The dome doesn't seem too hard to get through. Heehee, none of the guards can see me up here. All, I have to do now is pick the lock on the window to get in. That shouldn't be too hard.
Regular POV
Sakura found the lock on the window and took out her tool kit and started to work on the lock. As she was doing this, she peered into the office and was awed by the scene. The office was really quite a site to behold. There were two mahogany doors that led into the spacious room. There were shelves that held original copies of very famous works. On the other side of the room, there was a beautiful display case filled with various artifacts. The rest of the room was decorated with rich burgundy and gold curtains.
'Gee, there are so many antiques in the room. I'm sure that Chinese vase could be sold for enough money to feed an entire third world country.' Sakura thought.
As Sakura prepared herself to get into the office, Jing Long decided to show up with another middle-aged man. Once inside the room, the two men engaged into a business conversation.
"Li-sama, may I say how wonderful it is to work with you again," the middle-aged man said. "I was rather surprised that you came to find me. It's been what, two years since I last heard from you. What can I do for you this time? Will I be killing someone again?"
"No, nothing like that this time, Chen. But you can expect me to call you up soon to get rid of someone else. There is one person that will be in my way soon and I will soon have to dispose of him. But I didn't call you here to discuss that today."
"Well then, what do you have in store for me?" Chen asked.
"Tell me Chen, are you willing to do something extremely dangerous?"
"Depends on the benefits of course, Li-sama."
"I can tell you that if my plan is successful, then you will never have to work again and you will have enough money to last you for ten lifetimes, Chen."
"I'm interested."
"I thought you would be. I was hoping you would join me in this endeavor. You are very skilled and one of the only people I can trust with this project."
"Thank you, Li-sama."
"May I ask what we are doing? Who else will be involved?"
"There are a few others. I will hold a ball soon for all those interested in a week. That's when I will unveil my plan."
Jing Long walked over to his desk and unlocked a drawer. He pulled out an invitation and thrust it at Chen. "Here's your invitation. See you in a week."
Both men then walked out of the office.
Back to where Sakura is.
'Oh my, that was Hiro Chen. He's a wanted assassin. Too bad the government doesn't have enough proof to send him to jail. Maybe, we can catch him this time.' Sakura thought.
'Now that those two are gone, I can finally do some investigating.' With that thought, Sakura shimmied down the rope and landed right behind the desk. After some observation, she was able to find the secret compartment within the desk and started to pry it open.
As soon as she forced the wooden door open, she found a combination lock. Sakura pulled out the mini decoder and stuck it onto the door of the safe. After a few seconds, Sakura got the combination and the safe opened up. Inside the safe, she found a manila folder labeled, "Project X."
'I have to make copies of these documents quickly and leave before Li comes back.'
Sakura took out what seemed to be a pen, but was really another electronic gadget and started to scan all the files. As she was about to scan the last file, the double doors to the office burst open and revealed an angry Jing Long Li.
"Looks like we have an unwanted visitor. Stupid girl, did you think that it would be that easy to get to those files. I had a sensor installed in that safe."
Sakura quickly scanned the last piece of paper and got up to leave, but only came face to face with a double-edged sword.
"Ah-ah my dear. Now that you've laid eyes on those files, you're going to have to die."
'What an egotistical maniac. Did he think I wasn't trained for stuff like this to happen?' Sakura thought. 'Well the only way to get out of here is to fight him.'
In a blink of an eye, Sakura flipped forward and landed behind Jing Long. She kicked him on the back, sending him forward and hitting the desk. Jing Long recovered quickly from the attack and was in a fighting stance. Sakura broke the display case and grabbed the first sword she could get her hands on.
Jing Long lunged at her with his sword but Sakura blocked. Sakura was fighting defensively as Jing Long continually slashed at her. Sakura was almost backed against a wall, when finally she saw an opening and kicked Jing Long right in the chest. Jing Long fell backward from the strong attack. By the time he recovered and got up, Sakura was already gone.
"Damn it!" Jing Long shouted loudly. "Guards, seize the girl and bring her back!"
The head of security came up to Jing Long and said, "Monsieur Li, je suis très desolé. Je n'ai pas vu la fille entrer le bâtiment." (Mr. Li, I am very sorry. I didn't see the girl enter the building.)
"Ferme la bouche et trouvez la fille! Vous et vos gardes sont très pathétique !" (Shut up and find the girl ! You and your guards are pathetic!)
"Oui monsieur" (Yes sir)
'I will get that bitch. I will torture her so badly she will beg me to kill her. No one dares to mess with Jing Long Li!'
Meanwhile, Sakura had already changed back into her regular attire which consisted of black capris, a white shirt with a cherry blossom, and white tennis shoes. She was running away from the Li Building as fast as she could and was trying to lose the guards that were tailing her from behind when all of a sudden she ran right into the amber-eyed boy that she had seen earlier sitting in the café.
Sakura fell down and squeaked an" Ouch!"
"Oh my, I am so terribly sorry. Please forgive me, I should have been more careful," the boy said as he gently helped her up.
"Thank you," Sakura said shyly.
"I saw you earlier tonight but I never got your name."
"I'm…I'm," Sakura started but was interrupted by the guards yelling "Get her!" from behind.
"I have to go!" Sakura said quickly and ran away from the boy.
The boy was still staring at Sakura when the guards caught up to him.
"Monsieur! Monsieur!" the guards yelled out and the boy turned around to face them.
"Ah Monsieur Syaoran Li!" the guard said when he saw the boy's face. "Est-ce que vous avez vu une fille?" ( Have you seen a girl?)
"Oui, j'ai vu une très belle fille," (Yes, I saw a very beautiful girl) Syaoran replied before walking away, leaving the guards very confused.
"Je crois que il est fou!" (I think he's crazy),one of the confused guards remarked about Syaoran when he was out of sight.
Meanwhile Sakura thought, 'That sure was one interesting and cute boy. But I don't think I'll ever see him again though.'
She didn't know how wrong she was.
Well, that concludes chapter 2 of Agent Kinomoto. Was it good? Does the French annoy you? Because if it does, I will stop it. Anyways, I will reveal more of the evil plan in the next few chapters and I will include more S+S moments too. Oh yes, I will go to the bookstore soon to read Amazing Agent Luna so this story won't be too similar. And don't forget to review please!
