Chapter two

Meeting with you

Sakura combed her long hair. She was wearing a white T-shirt, black tight pants and her favourite black jacket. She looked at herself in the mirror. She was excited to meet her children. Not only so, she was going to stay with them. But something else bothered her. Syaoran. She didn't want to meet him again. The thought of him made her sick. 12 years ago, he put her behind bars. She didn't know why. When she was not hung and given a life sentence, she thought she saw the unhappiness and anger in Syaoran's ember eyes. When she was in jail, he never even visits her once. He didn't even let her see her twins after their birth again.

'That was my job.'

The reply that Syaoran gave her 12 years ago. It hurt her deep within. Her tears had cried dry. The scar in her heart will not be healed that easily. It still hurts in her once in a while. But she told herself not to cry for such a guy. A guy who is not worth to love. Her heart became cold again. The one that she used to have.

"Are you ready to leave?" Alex asked as he walked into the room without knocking.

"Can't you knock the door before entering?" Sakura asked, making a face.

"Dui bu qi, wo wang le," Alex replied in Chinese. (Sorry, it slipped my mind.)

"Next time remember to do so," Sakura snapped as she walked past him and grabbed her bag, "And to add on, don't try to test my knowledge on language. I know almost all the language around."

"Oh, really?" Alex asked, as he walked along side with Sakura and leading her to pass the security and towards the car, "I didn't know."

"Didn't Li tell you guys who you are dealing with?" Sakura asked, calling Syaoran his last name again.

"On last name basis? That's a quick change," Alex replied.

"My heart died on the day he betrayed me, I will no longer love a guy like him," Sakura replied coldly and stopped beside Alex who stopped too. "Now what?"

"Wait," Alex replied dully, "Eriol is driving us there."

"Hiiragizawa? Why him?" Sakura asked.

"We are put back on the same case again," Alex replied, "We only recruited Vok for backup."

"That means we are working together as well?" Sakura asked.

"Those we recruited lived with Syaoran," Alex continued, ignoring her question, "And they are practically falling head over heel for him."

"That will not be the case ever again," Sakura replied and spotted a car coming at them.

"Guess Eriol had problem with his wife," Alex replied as the car stopped in front of them. 'Huh' was replaced by 'Hoe'. From the car, Tomoyo and Meiling popped out and jumped onto Sakura who was completely shocked to see her friends.

"Sakura-chan!" They chanted happily, still hugging her.

"Tomoyo-chan, Meiling-chan," Sakura called out their names, while sweatdropping. Eriol got out of his car and sighed at the girls along with Alex.

"Meiling, Tomoyo, could you get off from Miss Kinomoto?" Alex asked, "You can hug, we, guys instead."

"Sorry, we just too happy to see our friend," they replied together. Sakura smiled slightly. She loved her friends. They are always there to support her and give her the courage to live on.

"Come on, we need to go," Eriol replied, "We need to explain something to you, Miss Kinomoto. Jump in."

They got into the car and drove off. Eriol was the driver, Alex sitting in the front seat and the girls at the back seats.

"Your stomach is getting bigger," Sakura exclaimed.

"Isn't it?" they replied together again.

"Why are you guys replying together?" Sakura asked, giggling.

"Because we want to," Meiling told her.

"Sakura is so kawaii," Tomoyo smiled as she took out her video-camera. Sakura sweatdropped again. Tomoyo's bad habit had returned to her, apparently.

A cough caused them to break into silence. The noise was made by Alex.

"Miss Kinomoto, please take a look at this file, it will provide some information you need," Alex replied as he passed Sakura a yellowish file.

"Just call me Sakura is enough, seeing you two are my best friends' husbands," Sakura told them as she sat back into her seat and stared at the file.

"If you wouldn't mind," Eriol replied while still driving.

Sakura just smiled mildly and opened the file. There were a few pictures on the murder scene. Sakura had seen even worst scene than those since she killed a lot of people ever since she knew. But one picture caught her eyes. A scene of the killing at a place called Fort Course. One look at the picture, Sakura knew who the murder was. Or should she say the killer?

"Can I know when did this incident happen?" Sakura asked as she turned the picture to Alex who looked at the picture and then at Sakura.

"8 January," Alex replied, "Why?"

"Then it's him," Sakura whispered softly. So softly that only Tomoyo and Meiling heard it.

"Him?" Tomoyo asked.

"Oh, you two know him well too," Sakura told them while they stared blankly at her. "Don't tell me you guys forgotten about him."

"I guess we did, Sakura-chan," Meiling replied.

Sakura smiled even brighter, "My first love, Yukito Tsukishiro."

Syaoran's side

Syaoran woke up late that morning. He had received news that Sakura was arriving on that day. He sighed, thinking about this. Will she forgive him? Why was he even worried? 12 years had passed without a trace of thoughts on her. But when her name was mention again, he couldn't stop thinking about her. The scene when he caught her 12 years ago kept haunting him. He knew he hurt her deep within. He knew he loves her even though she was the enemy. An enemy for a reason. The reason he was in the CIA. The reason he wanted to put her to justice.

"She will never forgive me, she will never forgive me," Syaoran repeated under his breath.

"Daddy, time to wake up!" A sweet voice called as the door opened. A small head popped into the room. The person was Xiao Feng Li.

"I'm awake, Xiao Feng," Syaoran replied as he stood up and walked over to pant his little daughter's head.

"I'm glad that Xiao Long and I wouldn't need to jump on you to make to awake," Xiao Feng replied.

"And I suppose you had wanted to do so," Syaoran asked her, knowing how playful his twin were.

"So what if we want to?" Xiao Feng asked, "You can't do anything right?"

"Oh, yes I can," Syaoran replied, "Done with your breakfast and give me a 300 word essay. I want it by noon."

"NO!" Xiao Feng shouted.

"No argument, go on," Syaoran told her off. Xiao Feng made a face and turned to leave. Syaoran smirked. He loves his children. Now where is Xiao Long? Syaoran walked down the stairs and spotted his son, sitting on the kitchen table doing his essay. He had given Xiao Long double the punishment of her sister, for escaping from lessons in school.

"How is your essay going?" Syaoran asked as he walked into the kitchen. Xiao Long smiled brightly.

"You are so going to a piece of dead meat, Dad. Because I wrote more than required," Xiao Long smiled.

"Good, I see you improve a lot in the writing part," Syaoran commented, "From a 3 page to a... Let's see, 20 pages?"

"For exact, 22 pages," Xiao Long replied.

"I'm looking forward," Syaoran replied.

"I see you never brush your teeth Dad," Xiao Feng told him.

"Opps... It just slips my mind," Syaoran joked.

"DAD!" The twin shouted together. Syaoran laughed and went into his room to brush his teeth. Finally he sat down and had his breakfast. His twin was busy writing the essay that Syaoran asked them to.

"Just a reminder," Syaoran started, "Your new nanny is coming over today."

"We know," Xiao Long replied, "I hope she is not like the one we have before."

"They can really kill us with their cooking," Xiao Feng continued, "Plus, they are only here because Dad is here. They are all over you!"

"Xiao Feng," Syaoran snapped her silence. She just made a face and continued her essay.

"Just prepare yourself," Syaoran replied as he finished his breakfast and washed his dish, "I wouldn't want her to have bad impression on you two."

"Okay!" They replied happily. Syaoran walked out of the kitchen and walked into his study room. Sitting in the chair, he sighed. The first thing that came into his mind was Sakura. Why? He was afraid. Did she know that he lied to the kids that she was died? Will she take them away from him? Will she use them against him? No, she wouldn't. She isn't the kind of person. Then why was he worried?

You miss her.

I do?

You miss her voice, her smile. Her everything.

I betrayed her twelve years ago.

But you did love her right?

Did I?

Syaoran couldn't get things straight. She would arrive here any moment, there shouldn't be anytime to worry about these things. All he needed to worry was how to lie about Sakura's true identity to the twin, knowing how well they are in finding out certain things.

Before he could think any further, the doorbell rang cause him to petrify in the seat. She had arrived? This soon?

Sakura, Alex and the rest of the group stood in front of the house in which Sakura was staring in amazement. She never knew Syaoran loved a house so... common...

"Aunty Tomoyo. Aunty Meiling!" Xiao Feng shouted as she opened the door and ran towards them. Sakura looked at the little girl. Her long auburn hair drew Sakura's immediate attention. Emerald eyes met emerald eyes. Silence was the only thing Sakura and the girl had.

'She has my eyes.' Sakura thought. 'Then she must be one of my twins.'

'Who is she? Why did she have the same colour for her eyes like mine?' Xiao Feng thought.

"Let me introduce your new nanny, Xiao Feng," Tomoyo started, "This is Sakura Kinomoto. She will be your nanny."

"Nice to meet you, Xiao Feng," Sakura greeted after recovering from her shock. Her eyes were about to be filled by tears of joy. She was holding her tears back.

"Same here," Xiao Feng replied, her eyes wondered up and down at the woman in front of her.

"So who's there at the door?" Xiao Long shouted as he walked out of the kitchen.

"Xiao Long!" Meiling shouted as she gave him a hug. Sakura looked at him. He has Syaoran's look.

"It's Aunty Meiling and Aunty Tomoyo with their husbands and our new nanny," Xiao Feng said.

"Meiling are you trying to kill your nephew?" Syaoran's voice made Meiling released Xiao Long immediately.

"No, Syaoran," Meiling replied as she looked at Syaoran. Syaoran wasn't looking at her at all. He was looking at Sakura who gave him an eye and looked away. He walked towards them.

"Come on in," Syaoran told them, "Xiao Long and Xiao Feng, go to your rooms. I want the essay by noon. Don't forget."

"Yes, Dad," the twin replied and went upstair to their room. Syaoran led them into the living room. All of them got themselves settled down.

"So, I don't think I need to introduce the two of you again right?" Eriol asked. Tomoyo made a noise which made Eriol silent.

"Yes, you don't have to," Sakura replied, "Li and I know each other." She gave him a deadly stare. Syaoran ignored her stare and continued.

"What other order did Vic gave?" Syaoran asked.

"Well, try to get more information on the assassin. But that's the job for Sakura-san," Alex replied.

"That's all?" Syaoran asked, "How about me? What am I suppose to do?"

"Assist Sakura at all possible," Eriol replied, "She might be the key to the success of this case."

"All I needs from him is for him to butt off from my investigation," Sakura replied, "I don't need him to help me."

"Sorry, Sakura," Alex told her, "Vic had given the order for you to cooperate with Syaoran. If not, he will put you back to where you are."

"Is that a threat?" Sakura asked.

"Yes," Alex told her. Sakura made a face.

"Fine," Sakura replied, sitting back into the seat, "As long as he doesn't mess with my plan."

"Is you who is going to mess my plan!" Syaoran shouted.

"No I don't!" Sakura shouted.

"Stop! Stop!" Meiling and Tomoyo immediately stopped them. Sakura and Syaoran were already on their feet, ready to take each other on.

"Syaoran, do not try killing Sakura. You know the consequences if you do so," Eriol warned him. Syaoran cursed and sat back down.

"Same thing goes to you too," Alex told Sakura. Sakura snapped her eyes at Alex and said nothing.

"We will bring Sakura to her room," Meiling suggested as she pulled Sakura along. Tomoyo followed closely behind as exited the living room.

"What the hell do you think you are doing?" Alex shouted.

"What do you think I'm doing?" Syaoran argued back angrily, "I'm having an enemy under my roof, for goodness sake."

"She is the mother of your children!" Eriol snapped at him. Syaoran glared at him in silence. Alex made an eye at Eriol, who noticed it and fell silence too. It was only the first day and things got this far out of hand. Syaoran wouldn't imagine what will happen after that day.

"Syaoran, please," Eriol started, "Do not mess with the plan the CIA has. Just work with Sakura for this once even though she..."

Before Eriol could finish his sentence, Syaoran had already cut in, "Fine. And do not repeat that sentence again under my roof or to the children. They do not know."

Sakura's side

Meanwhile, Meiling and Tomoyo brought Sakura to her room. It was quite a normal room. Pinkish wall which Sakura loves it the moment she saw, a bed and a table.

"This is going to be your room, Sakura-san," Meiling replied.

"I love this room," Sakura smiled.

"We know you will love this room. And beside, I brought something for you Sakura-san," Tomoyo replied as she took a lap top out of no where. (Don't ask me where. Cause I don't know.)

"That's..." Sakura was too shock to continue as she received the lap top. It was her lap top. Her one and only. She never thought she would see it again.

"I kept it for you. Keep it update to the world. But I never change anything in it," Tomoyo smiled.

"Arigato, Tomoyo-chan," Sakura thanked her again. Meiling and Tomoyo smiled at each other. Things will be the same as the past, like it used to be.

Xiao Feng's and Xiao Long's side

"Who do you think that Sakura Kinomoto is?" Xiao Feng asked as she turned to her brother. She had finished her essay.

"Who's Sakura Kinomoto?" Xiao Long asked as he put his pen down to face her.

"That lady we saw just now, the lady with the auburn hair," Xiao Feng described.

"That lady... She looked very beautiful," Xiao Long told her.

"It's not about that, Brother!" Xiao Feng shouted, "What I mean is that she had auburn hair and emerald eyes like I do!"

Xiao Long blinked at her. Did his sister think that the lady, that lady, is their true mother? Come on. This isn't a TV series. It must have been a coincidence.

"Come on, Xiao Feng. You are getting worked up over nothing. Beside, Dad did tell us our mother died when we were young," Xiao Long told her.

"But she did give me a weird feeling though, you know. Woman's instinct," Xiao Feng replied, "Dad might be lying to us too."

Both of them sat in silence for a while.

'Maybe Xiao Feng was right. Maybe Dad isn't telling us about the truth. Whenever we asked about Mom, his expression changed. He only simply replied she passed away when we were young and nothing else.' Xiao Long thought. 'But it is also possible that we are worrying too much.'

"Let's forget about it," Xiao Long replied, "It will get us into trouble if Dad finds out."

"But..." Before Xiao Feng can continue, Xiao Long had shaken his head.

"Don't. Unless they are willing to tell us, we don't say a single word," Xiao Long told his sister, "But that doesn't mean we can't investigate behind his back."

Xiao Feng stared at her brother at first in shocked then nodded her head. Little did they know they will get involved in a dangerous game.

Chapter 3 completed. Sorry about the different scenes. I truly apologized. I was trying to condense certain parts together. And please forgive about the mistakes and cliffhanger (If there is any). I will say this chapter is lame.

Sakura tenshi.AnGeL oF lOvE, don't worry about your review being short. I'm so happy that you did review for my story. And to all of you who review for me, thank you.

Wolf Jade, well, Syaoran is a little cold although he had some feeling in him for Sakura. And he didn't bring the children to see her and lied to them she is actually died! Can you believe this? Sweatdropped Ahm... Sorry about that. Guess I overreacted. I was the one who made him cruel in that way. Sweatdropped even more Hahahahaha... (Trying to laugh things off)

Crystaleyez and fallen-spirit, sorry about the cliffhanger. I didn't know... And to crystaleyez, I will try to refine Syaoran but I can tell you this. Before he make Sakura suffer even more or do anymore bad things to Sakura, I WILL kill him personally. So don't worry. Don't have to murder him. Just torture him. (I just love torturing people... Hahaha...)

AnnieS23, don't worry. Sakura isn't going to die. She will be just fine.

Soleil666 and icicle7, I know 16 is a very young age for Syaoran to be a CIA agent but something in his life forced him to become a CIA that young. I did think of making him a little older but... Kinda weird when you put a 20 something guy with a 16 year old girl. So I gave up that idea. Sorry... (It might not be weird to you guys but it's weird to me.) And about why he became a CIA agent, I will explain in the future chapter.

Forestfairy, how long will the twin find out? I too am guessing. I don't really know myself. I hope you guys love the story. I need to go and rush my homeworks. See you!

Just adding on, Xiao Long and Xiao Feng are the twins. If you didn't realized it. Xiao Long is born before Xiao Feng. Both are extremely curious over things. Will they get into trouble? The situation depends.

Loving you guys and signing off in a hurry,

Kit, the weirdo.
