~~~Sakura's P.O.V~~~
It had been 10 months since I left Japan. The group of assassins Wolf assigned me had 5 other people name Chiharu, Naoko, Rika, Yue, and Aki. I've finish a little bit more than half of my work already and reported to 3 times a week. I knew now why he has a group of people to work with me. My targets high ranked in business with bodyguards around there office and house. My group would sneak inside the building and plan the ways I would go through.
~~~ Assassins ~~~
"Yes! I got everything set for today and we're ready to go now!" Naoko squealed as she looked at the last gun and see if it has anymore bullets. Around her were Chiharu, Naoko, Rika, Yue, and Aki. Aki wrapped his arms around Naoko and chuckled at his girlfriend. (Sakura is in her room.)
They have two more people to kill and one would be down today so they would have one more to go. They have set out the plans of murdering from inside the office of Mr. Doshmaine, the next victim.
"Is Sakura coming down soon?" Yue asked looking at the devices in front of him. Even though they have used it many times, they would always check if and see if the devices work or not so it won't die out on them when they are on mission.
"Probably in about 30 minutes, we're not in a rush." Rika answered as she thought about Sakura. They all knew what happened to her through Wolf and felt sorry for her. The first time they heard about her, they pitied her but they knew it once they saw her with there own eyes. She does not want anyone to pity her. She doesn't show any sign of pain, fear, or even happiness to them even though they have been friends for 8 months already. They would only see her smile if it was from a little kid or a hurt innocent person. They knew good not to mess with her especially when she wants to be alone. When Sakura sits with them or do anything with them, it usually means that she is in a good mood even though she still acts cold.
"Too bad one of the top millionaire is disappearing today." Chiharu fake-sighed.
"Nah. Mr. Doshmaine looks pretty old. We're just doing him a favor." Rika said smiling causing the others to laugh.
"You know I have always wondered why you don't turn into an ant and just sneak in and out whenever we do tasks." Yue said toward Naoko. Naoko's magic was shape shifting. The group would call her skills "Shape-shifter." Sakura's magic is a mix with element, swords, time, shield, and strong emotions. The others don't have magic.
"If I do that all the time then we wouldn't have any fun right?" Naoko said smiling.
"Call us when Sakura comes down." Aki said with a blush on his face. He pulled Naoko upstairs inside their room.
Few minutes later the phone rang.
"Hello?" Chiharu asked as she picked up the phone.
"Hello Chiharu, may you get everyone around? I have something to say to all of you."
Hearing the sound, Chiharu immediately knew who it was.
"Yes Wolf, hold on." Chiharu replied and place the phone down on the table.
"Rika, Yue can you guys get Sakura and the love birds down here. Wolf needs to talk to us." Chiharu yelled across the room. Rika ran upstairs to Sakura and Yue went to the love birds.
"Sakura, you there?" Rika asked as she knocked on the door.
"Yes." Came Sakura's cold replied. Even though Rika has known Sakura for 8 months, her voice still somehow makes her feel uncomfortable.
"Wolf is on the phone right now and he said he needs to talk to us."
The door immediately swung open, appearing a fully dressed Sakura. "Let's go downstairs then." Sakura said as stepped out of her room and pulled the door close.
~~~ Yue ~~~
Yue walked up to the love birds' room. He raised his hand ready to knock the door when suddenly he heard a moan that came from Naoko. "Harder Aki HARDERR!" Naoko screamed. Yue shook his head and knocked on there door loud.
"What?!" Aki growled at whoever was bothering them. He was currently fingering Naoko and enjoying her screams.
"You guys need to come down, Wolf is on the phone and he said he needs to talk to us." Yue said.
"We'll be right there!" Aki yelled and with that Yue left them and walked down to the others who were waiting.
~~~ Downstairs ~~~
Chiharu apparently started talking to Wolf about what they usually do and all the other stuff in speaker while waiting for the others to arrive.
"Alright everyone is here." Chiharu said. Everyone was crowded around the phone so they can hear clearly.
"Well the news is after you guys are done with the last one, you guys will be coming back to Japan along with Sakura." Wolf said over the phone and waited for any response.
"SWEET OH MY GOD! I'VE BEEN WAITING TO GO BACK TO JAPAN FOR A LONG TIME!" Chiharu squealed loudly with stars in her eyes. Apparently all of them (except Sakura) came from Japan but moved to America when they were in elementary school.
"I wonder has it changed much." Rika said tapping her chin. What Rika said was the exact same question in Sakura's mind. Did Tomeada change at all?
Wolf chuckled at the girls' reaction. "You guys will staying in one of my house for few days and after I tell them about you guys, you will move into the mansion and become one of us."
"I don't get it. Why can't you tell them about us now so we can move into your mansion the day we land?" Aki asked.
"If I tell them now they will start asking me who they are and how they look." Wolf responded smiling but of course they couldn't see.
"Then why do you want us to become one of the Wolves now and not earlier?" Yue asked. He had wanted to the Wolves but Wolf always denied the request.
"Apparently I heard from the others that Tiger is planning something big. I was guessing that you guys might want to help and in order to do that you guys would need to join." Wolf responded to Yue question.
"But then we've helped you sneak into the Tiger's mansion before to get some information. We can still do it by ourselves if we don't join your pack right Wolf?" Naoko asked/said. She did not want to get a tattoo.
"Shut up Naoko and just join." Yue said as he put his gun in his holster and crossed his arms. Instead of getting offended, it only caused the whole group laugh (except Sakura).
"Apparently this is not just easy as stealing files. My members and I want to finish Tiger off this time so I want you guys to help them." Wolf said to Naoko.
"It's almost time for us to go." Sakura said as she looked at the clock. The others nodded.
"Ja ne Wolf." The girls said and hung up.
"Well let's go." Naoko said walking out the door and continued, "I can't wait to see the mother fucker dead." Chiharu and Rika can't help but grinned at what she said.
With that they got into there car/motorcycle to finish there task.
~~~3 weeks later Syaoran~~~
I woke up in morning at 5 a.m. I quickly toke a cold shower and got dressed in my training gears. Every day was like this, wake up in the morning to train, talk about what's new with the gang, then go clubbing. I admit that this life was really getting boring.
I knew everyone was scared of me because I was always cold toward them but it was because of my father's death. After his death, I somehow created a stone barrier around my heart prevent anything from coming in. With my looks I can get any girl but I refuse to. There is no purpose for me to get a girl when I can survive myself perfectly. I doubt that I would ever fall in love.
Author: Boy was he wrong! Hehe.
~~~Breakfast Time~~~
"Hmm. Where's Meiling?" Wolf asked looking around the table seeing everyone except her. Everyone just shrugged there shoulders and start eating again. It was weird for Meiling not to be here ON time because she was usually the first one to get down. (Except days when she gets a hangover) Feeling silence in the air, almost all the girls shifted in there seats uncomfortably. Meiling was usually the one who starts a conversation since she was not scared of Syaoran but only when he was not angry.
"What are we going to do today? I don't want to go to the club again." Tomoyo suggested trying to start a conversation. "Let's go to the beach!" Nakuru exclaimed out loud. "I don't mind" Synthia said looking up from her breakfast. "Me too" Jamie said with food stuff in his mouth. "Yea" Ryu agreed, "And please swallow your food before you talk." Ryu continued.
"Syaoran are you going to come with us?" Eriol asked. He picked up a piece of bacon with his fork and flicked it across the table toward Syaoran. Syaoran who was eating looked up from his plate and saw a bacon flying across the table. He instantly picked up his plate and scoot backward so instead of the bacon landing on his plate it landed on the table in front of him. "Yes" Syaoran said with a low growled on his throat.
"We still need to find out who saved Meiling." He also added icily. Wolf frowned when he said that. Wolf have told them not to worry about that person anymore since that person saved Meiling but Syaoran being stubborn, have kept searching for the past months. "Syaoran I already told you not to worry about it." Wolf responded him. "No." was his reply. "This person can be a danger to us if we don't figure it out as soon as possible. When we find out whom that person is we either recruit her or kill her. She knows too much about us and we know nothing about her.
Suddenly someone screamed. It wasn't anyone sitting around the table so the first person that came to there mind was Meiling. The whole group raised from there seats and ran upstairs to her room.
~~~Meiling~~~
I don't know where I was but it was dark. The only thing I did was run. I found a door and opened it. Bright light shone through the space. Hope came to me as I stepped one of my feet through the light. I felt my body stiffened after I found out where the door leads me to. It was the alley where I almost got raped. A hooded man walked in front of me. The moonlight shone down covering his eyes and his mouth lifted upward into a smirk. He walked toward me closing the gap between us. I stepped back until my back touched the brick wall. He raised his hand and touched me. It was the same as 11 months ago. Tears started to form in my eyes and I screamed.
I gasped and instantly sat up from the bed. Cold sweat ran down my forehead. The first person that came to my head was my emerald eye savior. I ran to the closet, opened a box and toke out my savior's jacket and gripped it. I sat down on my bed and brought the jacket near my face. A scent of cherry blossom filled the air. I looked around the room awkwardly and notice that the scent came from jacket. I guess it was because I left the jacket in the box so the scent was still there and it was strong. It surprised for a second noticing how strong it was. I heard the sound of stampeding and my door swung open revealing my family.
~~~ Regular P.O.V~~~
Meiling looked at her gang awkwardly. Tomoyo frowned noticing that she was holding the jacket. "You okay?" Eriol asked as he stepped into the room after Tomoyo with the rest of the group behind him. The girls sat next to her while the boys stood. "Yeah, I'm fine. I just had a nightmare." Meiling said with a small smile.
Wolf walked into the room and looked around. "What's with the party here?" Wolf wondered as walked toward them. "Nothing." Fuji said smiling and hugged his girlfriend Nakuru as he sat next to her. "Well I have something to tell you guys." Wolf said. "What is it?" Synthia asked. Everyone looked at Wolf. Usually when Wolf need to say something it was important and it was.
"You guys know how Tigers planned a big attack. I am inviting my people (assassins) to join the gang." Wolf looked up to see what there reaction was.
"Whoa are there hot girls?" Takashi asked as he popped up behind Wolf.
"Are they going to live with us? We need more girls." Nakuru said as she laughed.
"Can I make clothes for them? I can help them with make up right? We should go to…" Tomoyo continued to asked question and blabbered random stuff with stars in her eyes.
"Wolf there's a truck outside with cars and motorcycle saying that it was shipped from America." Inoue (one of the servants) said, standing outside of Meiling's room.
"Are those for us Wolf?" Takashi said smiling. "No." was Wolf's respond as he walked out the door to receive the mechanics. The rest of them followed him out the mansion.
There in front of them were 5 motorcycles and 2 cars. The one that stands out the most was the black motorcycle with few pink cherry blossom petals printed. "Kawaii…" Tomoyo whispered as she walked over to that motorcycle and ran her hand over it.
The one behind it was one was deep, dark brown with a small sunflower symbol on one side. The two motorcycles beside the brown one was gray and dark blue. The gray one has 3 small white stripes and the dark blue had a symbol like a thunder. One of the cars was a yellow BMW z4. The other one is a white m3. They could tell that all of them are modified. The speed, the engine, and changed the looks a little.
"Dam those are hot." Ryu said as he examined the cars. "Do you have the keys Wolf?" Jamie asked. He really wanted to drive the motorcycles. "Yes I do but you can not ride the." Wolf answered. "Who are they for?" Synthia asked. Apparently she wanted to drive the z4. "Someone." Was all Wolf said. Syaoran was curious but did not ask anything. Tomoyo and Nakuru went to check out the black bike. Takashi, Meiling, and Synthia went to check out the z4. Ryu lifted the hood of the m3 and looked at the engines. Fuji and Eriol went to check out the other bikes.
~~~Syaoran's P.O.V~~~
I stood beside Wolf as I looked at my members examine the mechanics in front of me. I had to admit, they were as good as the one Ryu makes. I wonder who these bikes and cars are for since wasn't for us. Wolf would not have stuff send to the mansion unless it's for us so it must be his assassins but I wasn't really interested. These weren't really my problem. My real problem was the gang and Meiling's savior. I have once told all of them that when I find out who her savior is, she would join our gang or die. Meiling have begged me not to since she didn't want her savior to die but I have no choice. She was a danger to us. Why any of them aren't worry at all? Over the past months of searching, I have a clue that it was one of Wolf's assassins. I tried to have a further look but found none.
"Wolf, May I talk to you upstairs?" I said seriously. Meiling who heard my voice shivered. I wonder am I really that scary but after all it does not concern me. Wolf nodded his head.
"When you guys are done looking at it just leave it there." Wolf yelled over there talking. "Okay!" they chorused together.
Once we sat down in his office, he toke out a small box and put the keys of those bikes and cars inside.
~~~ Regular P.O.V~~~
"Over the past few months of searching, I'm always wondering that the person, who saved Meiling was one of your assassins, is it not?" Syaoran said, looking directly at Wolf with cold eyes. Wolf was pretty shocked when he heard what he had said. He have always thought that he had covered up that information pretty well but being Syaoran Li, he have his own ways at finding out things. A smiled was crawled on Wolf's face. "You're really smart little wolf." Wolf laughed lightly causing Syaoran's eyes to narrow and glare at him more than regularly. "It is one of them. She went to America the day after she saved Meiling for a mission. Maybe that was why you never really found out who it was." Wolf continued on as he looked at some files on his table.
"You know we do not need your assassins' help." Syaoran said coldly to Wolf. Wolf looked up, "Yes you do, and one of my assassin's magic is a mix like yours. Even though there are only two of them that know magic, they have other uses too. Since Tiger and Tezuka is the only one that knows magic in that gang. They can be a really good help even with mechanics like guns, cars, headphones and speakers. We need those when we sneak into Tiger's territory."
Before any of them can continue, one of the Wolves knocked the door. "Come in." Wolf responded to the knock. "Wolf, Li! The hard drive containing our password for the warehouse was stolen by the Tigers!" The young member of Wolves rushed his words out. "WHAT?!" Syaoran boomed. Both him and Wolf instantly went to the meeting room and found out that the other members are already there.
"Who was the one who stole it?" Syaoran growled out loud when and hard glares were landed on everyone especially the group of Wolves who toke care of the hard drive. "It wa…aas O…moo…shii..ro." One of the lower rank Wolves stuttered. Jamie and some other wolves gasped. They were pretty close to Omoshiro too whenever they went to clubs, who would have thought he was a Tiger.
"Did you guys trace where he went after he stole the hard drive?" Eriol asked putting his hands under his chin and start rubbing it.
"We manage to follow him to Tokyo but lost him because we were chased by few Tigers." One of the men said as he stepped behind another, afraid what Syaoran was going to do.
"Send some people to Tokyo and …"
"Syaoran." Wolf said, cutting Syaoran off. Syaoran looked up and looked at Wolf. "I would have someone to help us get it back. Do not worry about this." Wolf said as he got up from his seat and left the room for a call. Everyone's eyes just landed at Syaoran.
Syaoran got up from his seat and caught up to Wolf and stopped him. "Wolf we can get back the hard drive our selves. We do not need your assassins help for these." Syaoran voice stated firmly that they were strong enough. "My assassins know where the Tiger's hideout is at Tokyo. They have been in there before so it would be easier for them. I need to make a phone call so please excuse me." Wolf said. He opened his office door and closed it, leaving Syaoran standing there.
Syaoran growled angrily and gripped the vase beside the door. The poor vase cracked and fell into pieces leaving some blood dripping down from his hand. The group (Takashi, Meiling, Jamie, Tomoyo, Eriol, Nakuru, Fuji, Synthia, and Ryu) who was beside the stairways saw the whole thing. Takashi gulped, "I don't want to see that side of Li." "My, my, cute little descent is as angry as always." Eriol chuckled lightly. Wei walked up the stairs and cleaned up the mess and the rest went there separate ways, forgetting about the beach.
~~~ Airport~~~
"Ahh it feels so good being at home again." Rika said as she stretched her arms. They have just gotten off of the airplane and they are now in Tomeda, Japan. "Man this is so cool!" Aki said as he snuggled his head to his girlfriend's neck. "Girls, lets go…SHOPPING." The girls (except Sakura) yelled out excitedly.
"You girls can go; we will meet up with you at the hotel." Yue said as two taxis drove up. The girls all went on one and Sakura went with the guys to the house.
"Hello?" Sakura said as she answered her cell phone.
"I have a mission for you…"
