Chapter three

Start of the Twin's game

"See you tomorrow then," Tomoyo and Meiling bid goodbye to Sakura who waved back at them as she looked at them getting into a cab and disappeared from her sight. She sighed, her smile disappeared from her face. It was the seventh day she had stayed with Syaoran and her twins. A week had went by quick and Sakura hadn't find a thing on Yukito's where about. She never, too, had time to talk to the twins. Syaoran always had things for her to do and treated her as if she was a maid. She wondered how she had managed not to kill Syaoran in his sleep yet. Even Meiling and Tomoyo were surprised as well. Talking about them, they visit Sakura every single day, helping her with the chores. Syaoran wasn't home that day and she was glad that he wasn't. She had finished her chores and sat down to take a rest. Then she started to wonder what to make for the twin for lunch. But then it hurt when she remembered that they didn't know her identity.

Flashback

"Kinomoto, we need a chat," Syaoran said as he walked into her room. Sakura was working her laptop that she just wished that Syaoran will leave her alone.

"What is it? I'm busy as you can see, Li," Sakura replied coldly. She didn't want to look at Syaoran as she continued to face her back to him.

"About the twin," Syaoran paused. He wasn't sure if he was going to tell her about it.

"What about the twin?" Sakura asked as she stopped what she was working on.

"They..." Syaoran was wondering how he was going to explain the situation about the twin to her.

"They don't know I exist," Sakura continued painfully. Syaoran looked at the floor. Guiltness was all he felt at that moment.

"I thought this kind of situation will only appear in drama. I was too childish I guess," Sakura said. Her tears were fighting to drop but she refused. She didn't want this guy to see her cry, to know that she was feeling pain. She refused to let that man know she still had feeling; she wanted to be a cold killer. So that she can kill that guy.

"If you know, then I request you that you do not tell them about it," Syaoran replied, "If that's alright with you."

"You think I will make use of them to go against you, am I right?" Sakura asked as she stood up and turned to face him. Syaoran looked at her, rather taken back by what she said.

"How foolish are you. Why would I use my own children against you?" Sakura asked, shaking her head as she walked towards him and stood in front of him.

"Women are rather unpredictable," Syaoran replied as he looked down at the lady in front of him, "Something I learn in the past from my father."

Sakura made a face upon hearing that sentence. One thing she hated Syaoran now was he had mention something that made her silence in sadness. The fact about...

"I will never know if you are going to use one of your twin or both, against me," Syaoran told her.

"And why will I do so, Li?" Sakura asked seductively (Pretending that's all.), placing her right hand on his muscular chest.

"Who know if your hate for me for putting you in jail make you want to kill me," Syaoran replied as he took her hand off his chest. Sakura looked straight into his ember eyes and a feeling crept up her heart. She felt herself closing the gap between them, tip toeing to brush her lips gently across his. The urge made her unable to control her movement. Syaoran, shocked by her action, felt himself tighten his hold. Everything seems to stop. Sakura leaned against his chest, listening to his heart beats in rhythm, feeling it rise and fall.

"I'm not going to kill you," Sakura whispered, "If I did, who will look after the kids? I can't look after them and you know I can't." She gave in to her tears. She couldn't help but let her heart go. She had tried to change over the years in the jail. She had told herself to not let her emotion gets in her way again, but all of these seem to be lost when in front of Syaoran. It was only the first day and the effect had already shown. Tears flowed down her cheek, soaking Syaoran's shirt. Releasing her hand, Syaoran embraced her in his arms. Syaoran couldn't hide his pain from his face. Sakura cried herself to sleep in his arm that night.

End of flashback

"So what have you found out Brother?" Xiao Feng asked as soon as she ran out of her class the moment the bell rang to meet her brother.

"Nothing," Xiao Long replied seriously, "And I still don't believe there is no information on her."

"Then look at what I found!" Xiao Feng smiled as she showed her brother a piece of old news paper proudly.

"What's that?" Xiao Long asked as he took it from his sister and looked at it.

"I found it in the news in the library. It was dated 12 years ago," Xiao Feng told him.

Xiao Long looked at the newspaper, which Xiao Feng joined in a while later.

7 December XXXX

The Phantom is caught?

According to source, the CIA and the NYPD had made their catch of their mortal enemy, Phantom Cherry Blossom. It was reported earlier that the Phantom was caught by the best agent in the CIA after a continuous pursue in finding her over the past few months.

Phantom Cherry Blossom as known in the black market had killed many innocent people, leaving their families in total sadness and sorrow. To the CIA and the international cops, catching her was somewhat a great achievement. This may also lead to the downfall of the black market.

"What has this gonna do with Aunty Sakura?" Xiao Long asked.

"Are you dumb or something? I wonder if you really are born earlier than me," Xiao Feng told him, "Sakura in Japanese means Cherry Blossom."

"That doesn't imply that this Phantom Cherry Blossom is Aunty Sakura," Xiao Long told her.

"Continue to read on, you will be surprise," Xiao Feng told him. Xiao Long obeyed.

Representative of the CIA, Agent Cohill and Agent Hiigarizawa did not make any statement for this arrest. Much of this is still a mystery.

"Uncle Alex and Uncle Eriol?" Xiao Long looked up at his sister.

"Surprise with that too? I guess so," Xiao Feng replied.

"We know Dad is working in the CIA. He did warn us not to say that though, because he thinks it's dangerous. But what is this got to do with Aunty Sakura?" Xiao Long asked still in confusion.

"Oh come on!" Xiao Feng shouted, frustrated with her brother not wanting to use his brain to think, "Use your brain."

"Fine," Xiao Long replied as he made his eyes go around, "You think that Aunty Sakura is the Phantom Cherry Blossom. Dad, Uncle Alex and Uncle Eriol tracked her down. Put her to justice. Now there is something going on and they needed help from her so they released her at the cost of freeing her."

"Yep! That's what I think!" Xiao Feng replied.

"Geez... I think you need to cut down some time from those dramas. They are teaching you wrong things," Xiao Long commented.

"Brother!" Xiao Feng shouted angrily.

"Come on, let's go home," Xiao Long said to Xiao Feng as he ran off immediately and Xiao Feng following shortly.

Syaoran's side

'Why did I do that for?' Syaoran thought as he sat in his office. He was still thinking about the incident. He had once again made her cry. Why did it hurt him? Hadn't he told himself that he shouldn't fall in love with her after what she had done to his family and his...

"Agent Li," A voice made Syaoran looked up and stared at the person weakly. It was Agent Veronica.

"Yes, Veronica?" Syaoran asked, sitting back in his seat.

"Mr. Vic wants to see you again," she replied in a shy tone.

"Oh..." Syaoran let a sigh as he stood up and walked over towards the door. He stopped beside Veronica and whispered into her ear, "Black bra doesn't suit you as an angel." (Syaoran is so pervert. -'')Veronica blushed while Syaoran walked away from her and got himself to Vic's office before the other colleagues bombed him with questions.

"Syaoran, how's the case?" Vic asked.

"Nothing," Syaoran replied, "Kinomoto hadn't found anything yet."

"She better hurry," Vic told Syaoran, "The president is getting out of patient..." There was a pause. Something else was registering in his brain. "Syaoran, did you just call Kinomoto by her first name?"

"Yes, why?" Syaoran asked.

"No, it's just so unusual to hear you calling her that," Vic replied, "Anyway, you should ask her to hurry when you get home."

"I will," Syaoran replied.

Sakura's side

"We are home!" Xiao Feng and Xiao Long shouted the moment they stepped into the house.

"You are back," Sakura smiled as she popped her head out of the kitchen, "You two go and have your bath while I get your lunch ready."

"What are we having?" Xiao Long asked.

"Pancakes, if you are fine with it," Sakura replied.

"Pancakes! Yuppi! We love that!" both of them shouted in union as they dashed upstairs to get themselves a good refreshing bath before lunch while leaving their bags lying around.

Sakura smiled at their reaction as she helped to put their bags in place when a piece of paper caught her eyes. She took the paper, gasped at it and stared to the empty stairs.

'How on earth did they find this?' Sakura thought as she continued to stare at the paper.

Chapter three completed. Anyway this chapter is short. Sorry about it. Kinda need to restructure the story. Cliffhanger I know. Sorry about that. I will explain in the next chapter.

Feel a little weird making Sakura to give in to Syaoran though. I want them to hate each other. But maybe this is going to make a twister. Who likes Lemon Pepsi? Hahahaa...

Sakura tenshi.AnGel oF lOvE, don't worry. They aren't going to die. (Maybe I should. Hahaha... Just joking.)

Now that you said it, Wolf Jade, they did act a little childish. Sorry. I didn't jump on my parents to wake them up. (All I have to do was shout.) Well, Syaoran is cruel. 300 words essay. I need one hour to finish that you know. And there are just 12 years old while I'm 16. ... I think I am getting very old...

kiraraKERI, I will explain in a little detail in the next chapter on that. So please be patient.

MiniSparky, yes the twin is going to find out.

MysDCal Angel, I will say he was and isn';t. -

Kazumi Kairi or Kairi-chan, they are Syaoran's and Sakura's twin, alright. And I wonder which two you are referring to...

Pnaixrose, sorry, but I still did put it up about why Syaoran put Sakura in jail... But I will explain a little in the next chapter.

Icicle7, I will not try to answer the first two parts. In any case, hell didn't break loose yet. Heehee... But I think I will make some hell here and there.

Crystaleyez, if you want, you can send some torturing 'formula' to me. I will see if I can put them in. And yes, I too love torturing.

Signing off with love,

Kit.
