Chapter 10: The Approaching Storm

I pressed my forehead on the cold glass. Right in front of me was my love, the only light in my life. My Shaoran, leaning against one of the white wall, breathing slowly. He slowly looked up and peeked through his only good eye.

"Sakura?" he barely muttered. I balled my hands into fists, "Shaoran?"

He opened his mouth to say something, but I shook my head, "Don't waste your energy."

Shaoran ignored me and inched towards me. He pressed a palm on the glass where one of my fists was and laid his forehead on the glass. I closed my eyes as warmth built up in me. Despite the glass in front of us, we were still connected. When I opened my eyes, Shaoran looked at me with sad eyes. We just knelt there, taking in our every image and engraving it into our minds.

Shaoran tried to say something, but it was useless. The glass was sound proof.

He breathed on the glass and wrote, 'U ok?'

I wiped the tears away and replied, 'Ya, u?'

Shaoran shrugged, 'Don't wrry. I'm fine.'

I smiled. It felt as if I could just stay here, with Shaoran.

Shaoran's calm face fell to a glare, not to me, but behind me. There was an anonymous shadow coming over my light. I turned around and saw Byakuran with a dark smile descending to me.

"Ho? A little rabbit found a way in?" he said as he bent down to my face. "Who led you here?"

I shuffled away from him, "I found my way."

Byakuran leaned on the glass as he was still looming over me. "I don't believe that."

"If I told you, there is going to be no point in eliminating that person."

He raised an eyebrow, "Hmmm, interesting. Why do you say so?"

I stared at his pale blue eyes, "Because I would protect that person."

Byakuran stepped back and laughed out loud, "With what, your powers?"

I stood up, "You'll find out soon."

I shivered. The cold wind caressed my arms, making me slightly cold. The thoughts of Byakuran made goose bumps rise. I hugged my chest and leaned on the porch ledge. The cold was the only thing welcoming in this place. I haven't seen Yuni in a while, heck, I wasn't allowed one step outside. This was the closest thing to freedom.

Suddenly a female voice came through the intercom.

"Intruders have entered the building, all Black and White divisions please report to defend base."

Shoichi was the one who opened the door. "Is there anything you need before I leave?"

"No, I'm fine..." I called out, flattened my silk layered dress, which was pearl white. I heard him sigh and slowly shut the door with a small thump.

Excited, I ran back to the porch. It's Tsuna and the others! A smile creep to me, this is the perfect chance to escape! Outside, everyone was bustling and running to satisfy the commands of their leaders. It was a sea of black and white. My shoes started to annoy me, so I quickly switched to golden Greek sandals that wrapped up to the knees. As I was walking to the closet, I saw something shiny at the corner of my eye. It was a golden short dagger with some sort of complicated design that was memorizing. On the hilt was my key necklace! On top was a note:

Sakura,

I got back your necklace, you seemed to miss it a lot. I'm sorry I wasn't able to help you and Shaoran, but use this dagger to defend yourself and...

Before I could've finished reading the note, the door came crashing open. I fell back in surprise.

"HOEEE?!"

"Who's there?!"

That voice! It was Gokudera!

"G-Gokudera-kun?" I stuttered, unsure.

The silver haired teen looked down to where I lay. "Sakura?! What are you doing here?"

I stood up with the help of Gokudera, "I was locked up here...what's going on?"

Gokudera smirked, "We're here to bust you and Shaoran out, and take care of some Mafia business, of course."

A blur of yellow came crashing into his head, making him trip on the floor.

Gokudera jumped back up, "You BAKA!"

The yellow stuffed lion floated up, "Sakura!"

"Kero-chan!" I exclaimed in shock and embraced the tiny lion.

Gokudera rubbed the back of his head, "Come on, after the ruckus we made, I doubt we'll be able to get out in secret." I strapped the necklace on and bent down to strap the dagger on my calf in though.

I pointed at the balcony, "We could go through the porch and use Kero's true form and fly down."

Kero shook his head, "I don't think I have enough to change back..."

Echoes of upcoming men were resonating into my chamber. Gokudera grabbed my arm and ran full force at the porch, "Not a problem." He punched a ring in a box attached to his side. I closed my eyes as we jumped over the balcony. We're done for.

The wind welcomed us as we plummeted to the ground. "Hang on!" was all I heard from him.

The fall felt shorter, since we landed gently on the ground.

"Oi, open your eyes." Kero's voice commanded softly.

I slowly obeyed and reopened them. We did stop, but we were still in the air! I looked at what we were standing on. It looked like a red tinted glass with black bones framing them.

"What is this?" I asked, looking to Gokudera. He was wearing sunglasses that could've been mistaken as goggles. Plus, his outfit also changed with additional accessories and all.

"It's called 'System CIS', it works well for shooting targets as well." He answered with pride. "It took me awhile, but I finally got the hang of it."

"Sugoi!" I exhaled. It was pretty cool.

Below us, some soldiers took notice and started to point fingers at us.

"Um, I think we should get down..." I said.

"Ah, it's about the restrainers, right?" Gokudera interrupted, rummaging in his pocket, "Gianini designed these charms." He produced lightning bolt shaped charms with clips on the each top.

"Attach them the restrainers and it'll give you 15 minutes at the least. So we have to be fast."

I securely clipped them on every one of them. "What about Shaoran?" Gokudera fell silent.

"We're planning to get him at the same time, but..."

I tugged on his shirt, "But what?"

Gokudera pushed me aside, "Watch out!"

A flash of lightning hit one of the skeleton framed glass. All around us was a swarm of pool balls that were sizzling with electricity. One man was floating on two balls underneath him. At his sides were two black and white foxes. I squinted to get a closer look at the blonde man. It was Gamma!

"Gamma?" I asked to the man.

"Little lady, where do you think you're going?" Gamma asked twirling his cue stick.

Gokudera pulled me behind him, "Go to the gate, we don't have much time!"

I opened my mouth to object. He turned around and gave me a determined look, "I'll be fine, GO!"

I turned the other direction and sprinted away. The booming sounds of his bombs rumbled the ground. I shut my eyes tightly, blocking any tears that were demanding to fall. I tripped on the helm of the dress, but someone caught me.

"What a coincidence, what are you doing out of your cage?"

I looked up to Byakuran, eyes darkened with a crazed gaze. Behind him were two guards. He grabbed me by the arm and looked at the bracelets. With the other hand, he played with the charm attached to it, "These are cute, where did you get them?" I said nothing. The yellow on the bolt was almost drained. Up ahead was the tall gate that separated the city and the Millefiore base. I looked around for any distraction, but there was nothing. Byakuran turned to the guards behind him, "Take her back to her room and guard it properly. She's an important...subject." I watched him stalk off to the building. I was right behind him.

They pushed my harshly forward, making me stumble. The key whished in front of me, giving me a reminder. The letter! If I remember correctly...

They once again shoved me, but this time I tripped and fell to the ground. "Oof!"

I snatched my dagger and rolled on the ground before they could realize what happened. In a defending position, I slowly got up with the dagger in front. Byakuran looked calm.

"What are you going to with a small dagger? Or have you forgotten?" he said in a harsh tone.

"Look around," He added with his arms spread, "My men are surrounding you, what makes you think a dagger can even scratch me?"

I smiled, "It not for that." I stuck out my left wrist and raise the dagger in my right hand. Before Byakuran could stop me, I struck my wrist. The restrainers resonated with vibration before it cracked and fell apart. I felt a slight prickle of power in my skin.

Yes, it works! , I thought with joy. Byakuran recovered from his shock, "Get her!"

With fumbling fingers, I cracked the other restrain on my right wrist. More power surged into my body, flowing with ease. A wall in front of me made me skid to a stop. I turned to face the guards that cornered me. I grabbed my key from my neck in my fist, detached it with a tug and thrust it in front of me. The wind blew around me, making the guards take a step back. It was a familiar feeling that I missed. With determined eyes, I looked at the others.

"Release!"
