Authors Note: To all my readers: I know that it has been a while since I last updated. I owe you all an explanation for the delay. The truth is, now that I'm back in school, I do not have as much time as I had in the summer. On top of my military (boarding school) duties I am taking eight classes, which means no lunch and lots of homework. Please, bear with me. I was able to update quickly over the summer, but I am afraid that the time between updates will be longer now that I am back in school. Thank you all for reading. I will update as soon as I can. I love you all! Thank you very much.

Read on fellow fans! (I don't own CCS)
Sakura looked into Li's eyes, he knew about the Cards. He was painfully twisting her wrist, and she was letting him.
"Did you hear me?" Li asked, cocking his fist back, two Cards clenched in it. She heard the pain of the Cards and gasped, it felt like her ribs were being crushed. The pain of not being able to breathe was washing all her training away. Kero was not going to let this stand.
"Let her go!" He shouted, flying at his face. Li backed away, but still held onto her wrist.
"Sayo," Eriol called, slipping him into a head-lock. "Sayo, let Sakura go." Li let Sakura go and threw the Cards in her face as Eriol released him.
"Explain!" Li shouted.
"It's quite simple Syaoran," Eriol said, "Sakura is the Card Captor. She had sealed the Cards and made them her own."
"I don't have time for this," Sakura said, summoning the cards back to her. "I need to find Yukito." Li made a complex movement with his hands and sealed the door shut.
"You're not leaving," he growled, glowing green. Sakura glowed pink with her aura and turned back, her voice deepening.
"Do you honestly think your pitiful family magic can stop me?" She looked at him, her eyes turned pink and glowed. "I am the master of the Clow Cards and you will not stop me from anything I wish to do." Li charged her, but he never got within an arms length of her. Sakura loosed her powers and threw him across the room with her aura, he hit the wall and slunk down. Sakura calmed and the light receded back into her body as she controlled herself. "I'm leaving, if you wish to accompany me, you may, just don't slow me down." Sakura walked outside and used the Change card to get into her fighting costume. She was now wearing black boots and leggings with a black tunic. She wore an emerald silk shirt under the tunic and had a brilliant blue belt that the cards hung from, the trim on the costume was gold and there was a red Clow symbol on the back.
"We're coming," Li said, thankfully they were all dressed darkly.
"Come on," Sakura said, "We're driving." Sakura led them to the garage, inside was four or five racing cars.
"Damn," Eriol said, "Where'd you get these."
"That is none of your concern," Sakura said, walking over to a mustang, "Come on, we're going downtown."
"Now?" Tomoyo asked, "But now is when all the creeps are out."
"Exactly," Sakura said, "I've got one day before you guys have to go back to school. We're going to talk to some people." Li still remained quiet, he was still smoldering, something told Sakura that they would have a major hash out after Yukito was found.
"I thake it their reputations are lees then reputable," Eriol said, "Choseing you black garb and such." Sakura had just slapped a magnetic deal over all the identifying symbols of the car to it would appear a painted junk-bucket, she had also pulled a skull cap over her hair and tucked the rest up under it.
"Lets go," she said, getting in, "Don't scratch the leather. Tomoyo, get in the back with Eriol. Just do everything I say and don't talk. We're not going to a church social." Sakura got in and put Kero on the dashboard, starting up the car and shifting it into gear. She peeled out of the garage and closed it with her remote. Sakura was a good driver, if Li knew she was not so busy he would say that she was a drag racer. She took them downtown through some rougher places until she came to an alley with at least fifteen people in it. Their hands went to their backs as Sakura turned off her headlights.
"Who is there," one asked, walking forward. They were all dressed in black or similar colors and looked ready to open fire on any intruders.
"It's Saku," Sakura said, "I need to talk to Kyoko."
"Saku," one said, "We didn't recognize you." A few flashlights turned on and were directed at the young woman. "What's up?"
"Private business," Sakura replied, her manner had changed once again, this girl had a million masks. She was standing with her weight on one foot, both looking submissive and aggressing. She removed something from under her tunic, it was a pack of cigarettes.
'She smokes?' Tomoyo thought to herself. 'I wouldn't expect someone with such self-respect would smoke.' Sakura leaned back against a box and a man walked out.
"Saku," he said, obviously the leader of the gang. He clapped Sakura's hand and came it to pat her back. "How are you blossom?"
"Not good Kyoko," Sakura said, "Someone gone after my blood. My nephew to be exact."
"It wasn't our group," Kyoko said, "We don't touch blood if we got a grudge. You know that, plus, we don't hunt out own."
"Smoke?" Sakura offered him a cigarette after putting one between her own lips. Kyoko took one and Sakura lit them both up. Many anti-smokers there would say that Sakura could flirt with smoke, the grey smoke coming from between her lips was one of the most sensual things about her. "I know you guys didn't do it, but they got past my brother. I was wondering if anyone down here had a grudge on me and would be willing to take blood for it?" Kyoko puffed some smoke, looking at Sakura's lips. Eriol suddenly understood how she earned the respect of a gang when she was sworn against them as a dan, she had charmed the leader.
"I'm not sure," Kyoko said, "But I could find out." Sakura blew some more spoke from her lips.
"Could you?" Sakura asked. She looked up at him.
"For a price," Kyoko said, moving closer to her. All those in hearing range knew exactly what he was talking about. Sakura looked at him.
"How much?" She knew what he wanted, but it was not something she could give him.
"Half an hour," Kyoko said.
"One kiss," Sakura said. "No more, no less. You know how I am."
"French," Kyoko said, unwilling to give in, "Groping allowed." Sakura's hand shifted to her hip where her concealed knife was, she could not believe she was bartering her body like this. It was not right, she could not let him violate her as such. Then she thought of Yukito, was a kiss so much to ask for his life, she decided that is was not. Sakura did not notice Li's hands begin to shake in anger.
"No groping," Sakura said. "I have my rights and you have yours. Now we're talking about the life of a little boy." Kyoko nodded and leaned towards her. Sakura wrapped her arms around his neck and let her lips slide over his, her tongue running across his teeth. His arms went around her back and he leaned against her. Sakura had to fight down her instinct to shove him away, she kept thinking of Yukito, she was doing this for him. Sakura let him get his hand to the small of her back before she backed away and out of his arms. Lit was grinding his teeth by now, wanted every bit to get out and pummel Kyoko into the ground, though he did not now why.
"Damn Saku," Kyoko said, inhaling smoke again, "If I had known you were such a good kisser, I would have stolen one sooner."
"And died," Sakura said, breathing smoke in his face, "Don't make this a habbit. You know how to find me." Sakura ground the spent cigarette to the ground with her boot and walked back to the car, getting silently in and backing out of the alley. She did not turn her lights on until they were fifty feet away. Then she had the distance between them to spit, wipe her mouth, and put a stick of gum in.
"Who the hell was that?" Li asked, still angry. "And why were his hands all over you?"
"Kyoko," Sakura said, "He's the gang leader, just one of my contacts from downtown. If you don't smoke and you don't drink, don't go to him. That's why I got used to smoking, he'll have some information for me. He was all over me because that was all I could give him, he requires a price for everything. I don't care what I have to do, as long as Yukito gets home safe."
"So you'd let someone use you?" Tomoyo asked. "Doesn't that go against your principles?"
"In a way," Sakura answered, "Tomoyo, let me ask you something. If someone had a knife at Eriol's throat and the only price you had to pay to set him free was a kiss, would you do it?"
"Yes," Tomoyo said, "I would."
"How is what I did any different?" Sakura looked back. "I don't like letting people in, I espically don't like using my body but, if Yukito could be back in Touya's arms at this moment, I'd fuck him." Tomoyo looked at Sakura, she loved her nephew, she was willing to die for him. Sakura kept driving, summing to a warehouse.
"Where are we know?" Eriol asked.
"DBO," Sakura answered, "It's where dance groups battle it out, it used to be a boxing gym, then Xiao came from China and converted it into a dance ring. I know some people in here, just act like you own the place and your in."
"In what?" Tomoyo asked.
"The group," Sakura answered, walking in the club. She honestly looked like she owned the place, throwing both doors open at the same time and not even flinching as blinding light met the groups eyes.
"Kinno," one, quite large, guard said. "I thought you didn't roll here no more." He clapped her on the back and she clapped him on the back too.
"Times change," Sakura said, adopting yet another urban accent. "I need to talk to Xaio."
"No one sees Xaio," he said, "You know that Kinno."
"It's personal Vin," Sakura said, "I made this place for you guys, can't I just visit once in a while?"
"And we paid you well for dancing," Vin said, "No one every just visits. This your crew?"
"I don't battle no more Vin," Sakura said. She acted like she was the biggest guy there, when Vin was twice her size, and he repected her. Eriol and Li did not want to know what she had done to get in with this crowd. "How about I beef it up." Sakura took out a wad of twenties. "I'll triple it in five mintues if you got any big timers here willing to bet." Vin looked at the money and back at Sakura. He took out a raido.
"Hey Xaio," Vin said.
"I ordered that I was not to be disturbed tonight," a voice came over, "What is it?"
"It's Kinno," Vin answered, "She wants to see you."
"You know the deal," Xaio said, "She better have something I want." Sakura took the radio.
"I'll have it Xaio," Sakura said, "Just give me seven minutes." Sakura handed the radio back to Vin and motioned for the three to follow her. She led them to an amazingly thick crowd and passed through it like water through a pipe, the three following close behind her. She walked right up to the ring and there were two groups battling it out in a dance contest. The place was truly amazing. People were dancing everywhere, there were dance stares from all around the world on the walls. One wall held trophies and awards that people from the club had won. Over in one corner was a large podium with a hat on it, just a regular black ball cap with a cherry blossom decal pm the brim.
'No f'ing way.' Li thought to himself and Sakura put her hand to a fingerprint pad and took the hat from the glass case. She put in on and walked right up to the ring where two challenge groups were ready to duke it out.
"And in this corner…" The announcer never finished his sentence, Sakura had begun to radiate cold air waves and the crowd had moved away from her, making her the clear subject of his eyes. "It's Kinno." The whole crowd turned and faced Sakura She made eye contact with no one.
"Hey Lex," she said to the announcer, "I want a battle."
