Chapter Eleven
"Propaganda"
"Syaoran?" Sakura whispered with a yawn, the rays of the sun through the window told her it was morning. She turned her head to see him not there with her.
She grabbed her gown and slipped it on then stood up and stretched out her arms in the air and rubbing the sand off her eyes. Looking through the glass doors that lead to the balcony, she saw him at the ledge, looking at the distance, the sun giving him a soft glow. She smiled and walked over to him silently and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Morning" he greeted, holding onto her hands on his waist.
"You're up early"
"I never sleep in"
"So I noticed" Syaoran turned to look at her then wrapped his own arms around her waist.
"It looks good on you" he commented, looking at the necklace around her neck.
She looked down at it and smiled. Last night's activities then rushed back into her mind and she blushed a deep red.
"What's wrong?"
"N-Nothing"
Realization dawned on him and the next thing Sakura knew, Syaoran had a mischievous grin and an evil glint in his eyes.
"You know you were great last night, I told you that already"
"I-I…thanks" she mumbled in embarrassment. She had her first time and she didn't regret it one bit. She wouldn't have had her first time with anyone else besides him.
"Your welcome…it was my pleasure, and I assume you had the pleasure as well"
"I- stop it!" she bowed her head and rested it against Syaoran's chest, hiding her very red face.
"I can't, I enjoy sweet tortures"
"Y-You're horrible!" Sakura said, raising her head and slapping him on the arm, good-naturedly.
Syaoran smirked at her. She glared at him playfully before turning around and back towards the room. Looking back at him as he was still watching her, she stuck out her tongue before disappearing back inside.
"Morning!"
"Hey Sakura, you're pretty perked up today" Tomoyo said with a smile.
"What do you mean? I'm always happy in the morning"
"Not today, you're much happier…I wonder why?" Mei Lin said with a grin on her face.
"I don't know what you're talking about" Sakura said defiantly, crossing her arms in front of her.
Rika and Naoko now had smiles on their faces, seeing Sakura. Eriol, Aki and Mika were continuing to eat their breakfast and talking amongst themselves.
"You think you know them" Aki said through his sandwich.
"Yeah, girls are so hard to understand" Mika said as he drank coffee from his cup.
"I second to that" Eriol said in agreement.
"We're not hard to understand"
"Yeah, boys are just dense"
"No we're not" Aki spoke up.
"Yes you are" Rika countered.
"No we're not" this time along with Mika.
"Yes you are" now along with Naoko.
"No we're not!" now the three guys were looking at their girlfriends.
"Yes you are!" Tomoyo joined in and the girls were looking smug.
"No we're not" said a new voice from behind them.
Syaoran walked in the room as he ran his hand through his hair in hope to tame it a little, but without victory.
"Ha!" Aki exclaimed in triumph.
"Yes you are" spoke up Sakura to the rescue.
Syaoran raised an eyebrow at her and approached her form. Sakura stood her ground and looked at him, waiting for his reply. But instead of saying anything, Syaoran kissed her fully on the lips which left her in a slight daze when he moved back.
"No you aren't" Sakura said in a whisper.
Syaoran smirked with a smile as the guys cheered for him in the background.
"No fair!" Rika said with a pout.
"Yeesh, you lot are acting like children" Mei Lin finally said.
"We gotta be happy sometimes you know?" Mika said as he hugged Naoko to him.
Mei Lin rolled her eyes as she stood up from her seat.
"Anyway, I'm leaving for now. I gotta go meet up with someone"
Mei Lin left the room without a backwards glance at the rest.
"What's happened to her?"
"She's probably gonna meet up with Jay"
"Who's Jay?"
"Her boyfriend"
"Where is he?"
"At his house most probably"
"Isn't he living here?"
"He's not a Wolf…yet"
"What do you mean 'yet'?" Sakura asked Syaoran.
"I'm not allowing her to have a boyfriend whom I don't know. But since she already does, he has to be a Wolf for me to be assured that he is one of us"
"Does Mei Lin know about this?"
"Yup, I told her a week ago and she already told him. He's gonna come by sometime soon"
"That's good. At least Mei Lin won't be left out"
"Syaoran, we're going out okay?"
"Where? Why? Who are you going with?"
Sakura raised an eyebrow at him.
"I'm going with Tomoyo…what's gotten into you?" she asked in wonder.
"I'm just worried that's all"
"More like paranoid"
Syaoran's face became serious.
"I was kidding!"
He sighed and went over to hug her tightly.
"Just be careful and don't let your guard down. Do you want me to go with you?"
"No silly, just go on to that meeting you've got"
"You sure?"
"Yeah"
"Well, alright" Syaoran kissed her deeply on the lips before grabbing his holster with guns along with his black jacket and leaving the room.
Sakura looked around at Syaoran's room and took it all in. She couldn't believe he of all people is her boyfriend. It was the last thing she would've expected from herself.

Syaoran walked down the halls of the house and down a few flights of stairs before reaching the main entrance where Eriol, Aki, Mika and surprisingly Takashi were waiting.
"Syaoran, Takashi will be joining us today" Mika said with a smile.
"Yeah, and I did the pleasure of fighting him. It didn't take long" Eriol spoke up while rubbing his right forearm.
"You must have some skills for being able to hit Eriol"
"Training" Takashi said, grinning.
"Well, you're gonna get your tattoo later. We have to go"
"Tomoyo!" Sakura called out while walking down the stairs.
"Sakura, in here!" Tomoyo's voice came from the living room.
"Tomoyo, we should get going. I want to- Chiharu!" Sakura said in shock, seeing the curly haired girl smile at her. "What are you doing here?"
"Sakura, let me introduce to you, a soon to be member of the Wolves"
"Really? Why? I thought you didn't want anything to do with gangs"
"Takashi explained everything to me and what it's about…it was kinda hard to get convinced but I didn't wanna be left out from you guys so I agreed. I just hope I won't regret it"
"You won't" Sakura assured as she hugged her. Now all of them are complete with Chiharu now joining them. "Anyway, Tomoyo and I are going out"
"Okay, Naoko and I are just gonna stay here and show Chiharu around"
"Well, alright then. Let's go Tomoyo"
"What car is this anyway? I love it!" Sakura shouted as she floored the pedal and drove fast down the road, avoiding all the cars on the way.
"It's a 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet Porsche…that's what it said in this booklet though" Tomoyo answered, reading the label on the front of the manual. "And judging from the condition of this booklet and the appearance of the car, I'd say it's brand new"
"Cool, then I'm the first one to use it!"
"Well, even if it is new, this car is already loaded with guns" Tomoyo said, as she returned the manual into the front compartment where 3 guns where stored.
"I'm guessing there's more than that in this car"
"So, where are we going Sakura?"
"Umm…I wanted to go to the theme park"
"Why?"
"No reason"
Tomoyo gave her a look that she didn't believe her answer one tiny bit.
"Ok, fine then. I overheard Mei Lin talking on the phone and she and this 'Jay' guy are meeting up there. I just wanna see what he's like and why she's so secretive about him from us"
"Goody! But why bring me? You can always go with anyone else, or even alone"
"Yeah, but you're the sneakiest person I know and you can videotape her. Maybe we'll get something juicy and blackmail her someday" Sakura finished with a mischievous laugh.
"Wow Sakura, you're more evil than what I give you credit for. HOHOHOHO!"
Sakura sweat dropped, hearing her best friend's weird laugh.
"I've got it sir"
Tsuyoshi took the photo of a girl with honey colored hair and emerald eyes and looked at it closely.
"Well, well, well…who would have thought Li would finally settle with a woman. You are getting soft. And when you get soft enough, I'll crush you into pieces, now that I know one of your weaknesses" he couldn't help but stare at Sakura's pretty face. He wanted her all for himself. "I've got to admit Li, you have good taste in women"
"What shall we do sir?"
"Send spies to trail her. Now"
"Hai" the man bowed before disappearing outside the room.
"Where is she then?"
"How should I know? We just arrived" Sakura said as she hid behind the cotton candy stand with Tomoyo while looking around. "Besides, this place is huge…we have to walk around to look for her"
"I don't think we have to…look now" Tomoyo tapped her shoulder making Sakura look by the fountain where Mei Lin was standing while fixing her hair.
"That's her right?" Jinsei asked his companion.
"Yup, that's her" Chris replied as he wiped his mouth with a napkin and stood up after throwing the food container on the floor. "Let's just follow her for awhile before we grab her"
"If you say so" he replied as he watched Sakura look through several hats.
"Sakura, the color of that thing totally clashes with your whole outfit" Tomoyo pointed out as Sakura tried on an orange tourist hat. "And you'll totally stand out if you where that"
"Here, now this is so kawaii!" she focused her camcorder on Sakura as she put on a sun hat with a pink ribbon tied around it. It matched her outfit perfectly as she was wearing a loose white skirt which ended by her knees with pink flowers and a plain pink top with small white laces on the hem.
Tomoyo took a similar sun hat but was violet in color which also matched her outfit which was almost identical to Sakura's except for the color and the length and design of the skirt and top.
"Okay, disguises: check!"
"T-Tomoyo! She's gone!" Sakura said as she turned her head around to look for them. "C'mon!" she pulled Tomoyo by the wrist and ran off down the paths while keeping a look out.
"Hey Chris, they're running off"
"What? C'mon let's go follow them, but don't be too obvious, try to blend in"
Jinsei nodded and catch up after Chris who was walking fast after Sakura.
"Oh! Sakura, over there…there she is" Tomoyo said, pulling her back.
Sakura looked around and indeed saw Mei Lin but now with new company.
"Is that him?" Tomoyo asked as she focused her camcorder on the couple, trying to get a better look on the guy by zooming in the camera on his face. "I can't get a good look on him"
"C'mon, let's get closer"
"They stopped, there they are. What are they doing?" Chris said, eyeing Sakura and her friend as they moved suspiciously closer towards the Souvenir stand while looking at something.
"I think they're also spying on someone"
Chris looked at what they were looking at and his gaze landed on Mei Lin and Jay.
"Don't we know that other girl?"
"Which one?" Jinsei asked and looked at Tomoyo.
"Not that one…I mean, her" Chris pointed at Mei Lin.
"The one with the black hair?"
"Yup"
"Wait, I remember her…she's one of those girls who raided the club and took out 11 of our members"
"She's one of those bitches?" Chris said as he glared at Mei Lin.
"Let's take her with us too"
"If we do, Tsuyoshi might be pissed especially since we didn't ask him"
"Fine then" Jinsei glared one last time at Mei Lin before focusing back to their target.
"Here" a guy with hazel eyes said as he handed a heart chain to his girlfriend.
"Arigato" she replied as she took out her cell phone and tied the string of the heart chain to a small hole where it can be attached.
"I love you Mei Lin" he said as he hugged her.
"I-…Jay?"
"Hmm?"
"I'm sorry to kill the moment but…"
"What is it?"
"Didn't you ever get the feeling that we're watched?"
"Yeah, I did and I saw them"
"Your fast…who are they?"
"Don't turn around…I'll just describe them to you, I can see them clearly from the corner of my eye" he said with a grin.
Mei Lin laughed and shook her head then nodded at him.
"Well, one of them has honey colored hair; the other has this blue-gray mix…both have long hair. The second girl has a camcorder pointed at us"
"Only two?" Jay nodded. "Sakura is the girl with the honey colored hair…the other one with the camera is Tomoyo. I can't believe they're spying on us" she shook her head in amusement.
"Well, they don't know that we know that they are here. What do you wanna do about them?"
"Let's just go on and pretend that they aren't there. If I can't take it anymore, I'll figure out something to do about them"
"Okay" he smiled and gave her a light kiss on the forehead before they walked off again, hand in hand.
"Aww…they are so kawaii together!" Tomoyo said with a sigh.
"Yeah, they look so good in each other's arms!" agreed Sakura, now getting romantic about the couple. "Oh, they're leaving, let's go"
"What are they doing? They're following that black haired girl. Aren't they on the same side?"
"They are…they must be up to something" Chris said as they followed Sakura and Tomoyo once again.
"Mei Lin?" Jay asked unsurely.
"Hmm?"
"Are you sure you're okay with them following us?"
"Y-Yeah"
"I don't believe you"
"How can you say that?"
"Your eye is twitching of irritation"
Mei Lin dropped her head low. "Well, I am kinda irritated. What the hell do they think they are doing?"
"I know, but I do have a plan. Listen…"
"Where's Mei Lin going?" Sakura asked, seeing her separate from her boyfriend.
"I dunno, she'll probably just come back, let's sit down here for a while"
"Jinsei, we have to take them down. We can't waste anymore time before they might realize we're here"
"Are we just gonna take the brunette?"
"Yup"
"Tomoyo, I'm gonna go to the girl's room for a mo., I'll be right back okay?"
Tomoyo nodded and continued to watch the footage she had taken so far.
"Damn it, she's leaving, let's wait until she comes out"
'What's taking Mei Lin so long?' Jay thought after he saw Sakura head over to the lavatory minutes ago.
"Chris, there she is"
"Okay, get the stuff ready"
Jinsei nodded and took out a cloth and a black bottle and poured the substance from it, making it really soaked.
"I can't believe they think wearing this thing is comfortable" Mei Lin muttered as she adjusted the hat on her head to cover her face properly.
Sakura smiled at her reflection and adjusted her sun hat then headed outside the lavatory. She stopped as something fell from her purse.
"Oh damn" she whispered as she bent down and checked the contents of the face powder case.
"Sakura" Tomoyo said, watching her friend from afar with a smile.
"Darn things" she whispered as she stood back up and checked the straps on her sandals.
"Hello" Chris said politely to the honey hair colored girl in front of him.
Before she could even look up, she passed out as another came from behind her and pushed a cloth in front of her face.
"Let's hurry up before any of them notices" Chris said quickly as Jinsei carried the unconscious girl in his arms and both made a run towards the parking lot where their companions where waiting.
"Sorry for making you wait Tomoyo" Sakura said as she sat down on the seat beside her again.
"Sakura, did you see that girl?"
"What girl?"
"I dunno, she was dressing identically like you and she was just being took out by two guys"
"What?"
"Here" Tomoyo held her camcorder in front of them both to let her see.
"Wait a minute, that girl seems awfully familiar"
"Mei Lin!" Jay shouted after the guys who were already far ahead of him.
"What the- Jay?" Sakura asked, looking at the guy not so far from them.
"You're Sakura right?"
"Yeah, where's Mei Lin?"
"Some goons just took her away. I think they thought she was you!"
"Wait…that was her?" she asked pointing at Tomoyo's camera. "How could that be her? Both of us were wearing different outfits! Not to mention we look nothing alike as well as our hair color"
"We sort of knew the two of you were following us. We had a plan to fool the two of you by letting you think she was you. I guess she bought a wig along with the hat and outfit that looks like yours"
"W-What!" Sakura sat back down on the chair with her hand on her forehead. "T-This is all my fault" she added to herself in a whisper.
"Sakura, there's a note on the floor" Tomoyo said, seeing a piece of paper on the floor with the word 'Wolf' written in large font.
Sakura ran towards it, followed by the others, and picked it up.
