Previously on Firewall:
Things got a little too hot between the two hackers as their enemies slowly crept closer. How is their progressing relationship going to effect the task at hand?
Now on Firewall:
The mood was awkward to say the least. The air was so thick in the car that you could practically cut it with a knife. The two hackers bodies were tight with tension and stiff as boards. Syaoran hands were held tightly around the wheel and Sakura's were clinched in her lap.
With her head resting on her hand, Sakura sighed deeply. Her emerald eyes were fixated on the passing fields. Everything was starting to blur together. The greens and yellows were becoming blobs of color.
The order and the precise lines of the fields gave Sakura a false sense of tranquility. She wanted that order to be in her life. She needed that order… just what was she going to do without it? Closing her eyes she tried to picture her apartment with its order and structure, but she only saw Syaoran's face.
Flushing outrageously, she tried to shake the image from her mind. Just what had come over her? One moment she's starving for food and the then she's starving for… Blushing Sakura glanced over at the male quickly and got his gaze. Looking away, Sakura stared out the window once again. She just couldn't face the male hacker.
Just what had come over him? He went from wanting to attack her… to wanting to attack her. Redding, Syaoran glanced at the female and caught her gaze. Looking away quickly, he focused on the road. Glancing at his mirror he saw the black van still tailing them slowly.
It was one of those black vans that were so obvious. Did they think he was an idiot? It had two doors that slid open quickly to capture people without others knowing. Its paint job was wearing and spots were completely chipped off. The windows were tinted past the legal amount and, of course, it was unmarked.
A smirk slowly grew on his face as Syaoran made his decision. Pressing his foot violently on the gas pedal the car reared up and shot forward quickly.
"AHH! What are you doing, psycho? You're going to kill us!" Sakura screamed as she threw her hands against the front compartment to keep herself steady.
The car roared under their feet as the tires screamed piercingly. The power under his hands caused Syaoran to smile harder. He was in charge and this was his weapon. He flew down the road so fast that the van didn't even have a chance to react.
The fields blew viciously as the car propelled past them. Wheat flew up into the air and covered the road like it was harsh winter storm.
"I don't want to die this WAY!" Sakura continued to scream, but Syaoran was deaf to her pleads. The power of the speed flowed through his veins as he flew over a hill. The car soared through the air and landed harshly. Sakura closed her eyes as the car spun in a circle and smoke erupted from the tires.
She slowly opened one eye to make she was still alive. Once she established that she was still breathing and all of her body parts were accounted for she screamed, "YOU ARE CRAZY! COMPLETELY CRAZY!"
Raising one eyebrow in interest, Syaoran cracked his knuckles and smirked, "And that's why you're still alive."
"Just what is your problem?" Sakura breathed out.
"Thanks to me we don't have one. Didn't you see that van tailing us?" Syaoran said in exasperation. When she didn't answer he said, "You are completely clueless to everything. If I wasn't around you would be scrap meat. For a genius you sure are stupid. Did you think just because you weren't blown up that they would leave you alone? That you would have just gone with your life like nothing happened?"
Tears appeared in Sakura's emerald eyes and created a sad shine. The pain from his words struck her blindly and swiftly. Her heart started to hurt so badly that she just had to react. Opening the door quickly, she then slammed it loudly. She just had to get out of there. Her body was out of her control now. She just kept running towards nothing.
" I just can't do this anymore. I want to be home… I want my computers. I want my life back!" Sakura screamed as her feet pounded faster on the ground, "What did I do to deserve this? I'm just a normal hacker… far down on the food chain. Why me? Why now?!"
Sweat started to mix with the tears from her eyes and she shouted out in despair as Syaoran finally caught up to her and tackled her to the ground.
Breathing harshly, tears flowed uncontrollably from her green orbs. Dirt was smeared upon her face and hair. Syaoran's heart was pounding against her own. Their bodies were interlocked and their breath mixed erotically. Raising his hand, Syaoran slightly touched her cheek. Wiping the tears away, he leaned in. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to attack you like that." (Again with the attacking Syaoran, eh??? – Moshi-san)
Opening her eyes wide he leaned in even closer and pressed his lips against hers. "You just drive me crazy."
Before she could answer he deepened the kiss and his tongue lightly touched hers. The heat erupted between them as the pressed harder against each other. After a few seconds he pulled away from her. Standing up, he wiped the dirt from his clothes and then offered his hand to Sakura.
Without thinking Sakura grabbed his hand and allowed him to pull her up. Dusting herself off slightly she smiled, tears forgotten, "So, when are we going to eat?"

"Shit. Shit. Shit. What are we going to tell him?" the goon said frustrated. He ran his hand through his dark brown locks as sweat started to pour down his face. His godly structured face was harsh, his skin bronzed, and his eyes rich as mahogany.
"We aren't going to tell him," his partner answered simply. He was the completely opposite of the male sitting next to him. He was the light to his dark. His hair was so light it was almost silver, his features were soft and his eyes were like molten copper. "We'll keep on looking for them until we get the a call and when that happens we'll just deal with it. He needs us."
"Your right, of course. I'm just pissed that that little bastard got away again. Just who do you think he is?"
"I can't be sure, but he's going to be a problem we didn't for see. This is going to be tougher than we thought."
The dark goon nodded in agreement before starting the van up again. They started traveling down the road in silence, both trying to think of a solution to their problem. Just like Sakura, the scenery gave a false sense of calmness during their crisis.

Q & A!
Q: Why do I feel like this chapter didn't go anywhere?
A: Because it didn't, lol. I want this to progress slowly. Hai, hai. I know it's slow because I update every six months or so, but that's not what I mean. I don't want to push the relationship too hard or too fast.
Q: But, I want more! Who is the wizard? Who are the goons?
A: I'm sure you can guess who the goons are, but just not what their part is in all of this.
Q: So, when is Sakura going to eat?
A: I love how the chapters always end with that statement. I feel like it gives the story consistency.
Q: Just how hot is this going to get?
A: Hot enough, but like I said I want the relationship to build past the heat and into appreciation. I want them to completely understand each other and balance their personalities out.
Q: Do you think that Sakura is too OOC?
A: I really hate that acronym. Every character is going to act differently than their shows because they are in put into completely different situations. Essentially they are completely different people. You don't know just how the character is going to act as a hacker who was trying to be assassinated. These are my characters not Clamp's anymore.
Q: So, no??
A: Sakura is how Sakura's supposed to be in this situation.
Q: Does Syaoran work for the government or is he a freelancer?
A: So you picked up on that?
Q: Of course, I'm a genius
A: I'm not denying nor confirming that assessment.
Q: Loser.
A: Hehe. OH… as an advertisement. Live Free or Die Hard comes out on Tuesday. Rent or watch. It's seriously awesome.
