Chapter Five: Outta Place

Her arm was burning like someone started it on fire! Some psycho's on motorcycles were chasing them and shooting at them… WHAT THE HELL! She was scared and pissed all at the same time as she held on tighter to Syaoran. The bullet had grazed her good and imbedded itself into his arm. As she squeezed his midsection she felt something hard that wasn't his sexy abs.

"What's under your jacket?" She yelled over the rush of wind, engine and gun shots. Syaoran's lack of answer had her wondering if he even heard her. They were going in a direction on the highway away from her school, which told her that she was most likely not making it back in time for English class. While still accelerating, Sakura watched as he took one hand off the handle and reached into his jacket and pulled out a gun. He held it partly behind him as if he wanted her to take it.

"Just shoot them!" He roared to her. She took the gun with shaky hands. Looking at it like it would bite her.

"I don't know how to use this!" She yelled back before screaming as more gun fire was heard. Their pursuers were gaining on them and fast.

"Just point it at them and pull on the trigger." He yelled back as he barely missed a big rig. If they got out of this alive she was never getting on the highway ever again! Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, she turned as best she could and pulled the trigger. She watched the other bikers move in obvious avoidance of her crappy shooting. She held tighter to Syaoran with her bad arm and turned more to aim better. She followed the biker with her eyes and then pulled the trigger some more. She was sure she missed most of the four shots she let off, but something had hit because suddenly the guy was being thrown over the handle bars and bouncing on the pavement like a rag doll.

"Hey I got one!" She yelled as they made it to the off ramp. She watched Syaoran pull out his cell phone and hit some stuff. She prayed to the gods that he wasn't texting and driving through the busy street. The asshole, who was still on their tail, fired his gun again, making Sakura and the people walking the sidewalks scream. Syaoran sped up again, weaving more, and Sakura watched as four more bikes pulled up behind the guy following them. She held tighter wondering who the hell she had pissed off in a past life to be stuck with this kind of bad luck. She heard more shooting, and screamed.

Then she really started freaking out… Syaoran was slowing down. Why was he slowing down? She could still hear the other bikes getting closer to them. She did not want to die. She looked at the gun, and how it looked a lot funnier than when Syaoran had given it to her. She tried to fire on the upcoming bikers, but nothing happened. It was empty… and Sakura watched her short life flash before her eyes.

Syaoran

He smirked as he watched Mika take out the asshole that was shooting at them. He was also glad that the gun he had given Sakura was empty as she tried to shoot at Alex. Akashi and Chris were bringing up the rear as he drove toward the mansion. He would have to call Jamie and Eriol back, and have them bring the girls to calm down Sakura. He knew she was freaking out, and he felt both happy and bad for that. She was definitely not a Tiger with how bad she was freaking, but he felt bad that she was in the situation at all.

As he pulled up to the gate to the house, he punched in the code before heading up the long driveway. As soon as he pulled his bike to a stop in front of the main door, he felt Sakura get off fast. He followed her, taking off his helmet as she stood in shock. The gun was still clutched in her hand, and she was staring at the bullet holes imbedded in his newest bike. Then he remembered that she had gotten shot, and moved closer to her.

"Sakura." He said her name hoping to get her attention. She was definitely in shock. "Sakura I need to get you to our doctor." He spoke again grabbing the hand with his gun in it. Her scared emeralds met his eyes as she let the gun go.

"Am I dead?" She asked, and he almost laughed. She had thought they were dead.

"No. You are very much alive." He said grabbing her hand, hoping the contact would bring her around. She gripped him tightly. "The new bikers are from mine and Jamie's gangs. They're on our side." He tried to explain as the four men moved behind him so they were in Sakura's line of sight. It didn't seem to matter though, because her eyes wouldn't stray from his.

"My arm hurts." She said in a monotone voice. She was out of it for sure. He tired pulling her to the door of the house, but she wouldn't move. He sighed, and picked her up. She didn't even fight it, and when he looked down, her eyes were closed. She had fainted, either from her shock, or the pain of her arm. He turned to the four smirking men still standing behind him.

"Make yourselves useful and call Jamie, Eriol and the girls back here. Then find out if that was Tiger's idiots that shot at us, or someone else." He commanded, snapping the four into attention, as they all pulled out a phone. He walked quickly to the infirmary, finding his personal doctor in there cleaning some tools. He turned looking surprise and concerned.

"Master Li… how can I help you?" Wei asked him, with a small smile. Syaoran placed Sakura down on the small table, ignoring the screaming pain in his arm from the bullet.

"She got shot and passed out. I think the bullet only grazed her." He explained showing Wei her left arm. The school jacket would need to be replaced.

"Why do you think it only grazed her?" Wei asked as he gently took the jacket off Sakura, and lifted the short sleeve to show the graze. Syaorna gritted his teeth.

"Because it's still in my arm." He spoke, making Wei turn his attention away from Sakura. "Fix her up first, and then we'll worry about me." He finished, knowing that Wei wouldn't disobey his order. Wei nodded, before grabbing some tools and gauze. He went to work fast, and Syaoran was glad Sakura was passed out.

Tomoyo

"Li says to get back to the mansion right now." Alex's voice finished through the speaker of her phone. She was shaking with rage and fear for her cousin. Eriol and Jamie were grabbing their jackets, and Mei Lin had gone for the helmets.

"I knew it! I told you something was going to happen!" Tomoyo screamed as she freaked out in the middle of their dorm room. Eriol was trying to calm her down, but she wasn't having any of that.

"Love, you need to calm down. Mika told me it was only a graze, and she at least took one out." Eriol said, hugging her from behind. She could feel the tears in her eyes.

"This is all Li's fault! If he had just believed us in the first place she wouldn't have been caught in that situation!" She spoke through sobs. Her poor cousin couldn't catch a break. Mei Lin came back into the room, handing Tomoyo her helmet and jacket.

"Well we can't help her sitting here. Let's go." Mei Lin said as she grabbed her purse, stuffing it in her riding backpack. Jamie smiled at Mei Lin, slapping her on the ass.

"I'll break all the driving laws for you babe." Jamie charmed as they walked out the door. Tomoyo, sighed, following them out, leaving Eriol to lock the door. He placed an arm around her waist, and she leaned into him. He was always her rock, and she really needed it.

"She's fine, Love. Wei has her all patched up. We are going to make it there in record time I promise." He whispered, kissing her temple. Tomoyo sighed, nodding her head. He was right of course, but she couldn't help but worry. She got on the back of his motorcycle, and held on tight, knowing that they would be going fast. She felt his guns, and slipped a hand inside his jacket, grasping one… just in case they ran into the same problem as Sakura and Syaoran. At least she knew that she was a pretty good shot compared to Sakura's inexperience.

Syaoran

"Could you make it hurt anymore?" He growled at Wei, feeling every poke and prod as Wei tried to make room around the bullet so he could pull it out. Wei actually had the nerve to chuckle as he grabbed the bullet and pulled it out. Syaoran was glad he had high pain tolerance because that had hurt like a bitch. Of course, as soon as it was out Wei stitched him up and bandaged it within seconds.

"Do you want me to move the young lady to a room or leave her here?" Wei asked as he cleaned up. Sakura was still out cold on the table next to him. He looked at her and frowned. Tomoyo would kill him if he just left her here.

"No, I'll move her." Syaoran said as he stood. Wei frowned at him.

"You shouldn't put pressure on you arm for at least 48 hours." Wei explained, of course Wei should have known that he never listened to the rules, but he gave Wei a nod. Syaoran just smirked as he picked up the super light girl.

"I'll just put her in a room fast. Barely any pressure." He spoke before leaving a frowning doctor and heading toward his personal bedroom. He knew for a fact that his bed was the most comfortable one in the mansion, and it would be the best and safest place for Sakura until Tomoyo and Mei Lin showed up. He placed her gently on top of the comforter, making sure she was as comfortable as possible. Then he headed toward the sitting area to wait for, what he knew would be, a pissed off Tomoyo.

Tomoyo

Luckily they had made it to the mansion with no problems. Who ever had attacked Syaoran and Sakura weren't trying again that was for sure. She was sure Eriol was concerned when she grabbed his gun and jumped off the bike before he had stopped fully, but she didn't care. She was going to give Syaoran a piece of her mind! He was sitting in the living room as if waiting for her, and she walked right up to him and punched him as hard as she could.

"Tomoyo!" Eriol's voice sounded from behind her, but she ignored him, focusing only on Syaoran.

"I should shoot you now Li!" Tomoyo yelled as she pointed Eriol's gun at Syaoran. Sure they all knew she wouldn't actually shoot her leader, but that didn't mean she wouldn't threaten him a bit.

"Eriol control your woman." Syaoran spoke, completely ignoring Tomoyo's threat, which pissed her off even more. So she moved slightly and let off a shot, effectively hitting a vase and shattering it. That got his attention.

"You couldn't just leave her alone could you? We all told you she's not a Tiger, but you couldn't listen! This is all your fault!" She yelled. Of course by the time she was done ranting and raving she was crying again, and Eriol was taking the gun back while hugging her. She watched Syaoran run a hand through his hair, and she caught sight of the bandage around his upper left arm. "I want to see my cousin. Where is she?"

"She's in my room. She passed out from shock." Syaoran spoke with a sigh. She made sure to keep her mouth shut as she tried to think of why Sakura was in Li's room at all. With one last glare at Syaoran, Tomoyo stormed off toward his room at the private end of the mansion.

Syaoran

Well that could have gone better. At least she hadn't really shot him. He turned to look at his cousins and Jamie. Eriol looked slightly pissed off, but more concerned. Jamie looked amused, and Mei Lin just looked plain pissed off. He was relieved when she merely glared and went to follow Tomoyo.

"Dude you are in so much trouble. You're like up shit creek without a paddle." Jamie spoke taking a seat on the couch, as Syaoran tried to not rip out his hair.

"Do you believe that Sakura isn't a Tiger now?" Eriol asked. Syaoran's head whipped up to meet his 2nd in commands eyes. He had never heard Eriol so agitated. "Or do you want to take her out to get shot at again?" Syaoran winced. At this rate he was going to have the whole house pissed off at him. He growled as he set his eyes on his blue-haired cousin.

"I get it! I screwed up… but I am still your leader, so watch your tone with me cousin." Syaoran said glaring at Eriol. Eriol only frowned, clearly getting even more angry.

"Whatever you say, Boss." Eriol said through clenched teeth before heading off to some other part of the Mansion. Jamie had the nerve to chuckle.

"I can still kick your ass you know." Syaoran growled to his best friend.

"Dude with the amount of people pissed at you, you need me!" Jamie spoke, as Syaoran finally took a seat.

"Yea, you're probably right." Syaoran said as he ran a hand through his hair.

"What is it about Sakura that's got you acting so crazy anyways? You're usually not this invested in some girls' background." Jamie spoke. Syaoran shook his head.

"She's Mei Lin and Tomoyo's roommate." The pathetic reason wasn't lost on Jamie as he laughed again. "She nothing special, I'm just concerned for the girls."

"Right… You just keep telling yourself that." Jamie said through chuckles. "Nothing special… man you suck at lying. That girl is something alright." Syaoran was surprised at himself as he growled at Jamie. He usually didn't feel this territorial of random girls.

"Don't forget you're dating Mei Lin." Syaoran reminded. Jamie laughed again.

"Mei Lin is plenty enough for me, but don't sit there and spout lies to me about Sakura being 'nothing special.' Open your eyes man… before she slips through your fingers." Jamie finished before getting up from the couch. "I'm gonna go see if Akashi found anything out." So then he was left alone to his thoughts. So he had lied. Sakura was definitely special. She was brave and beautiful and he had never met anyone like her.

"I'm in so much trouble." He sighed.

Sakura

She opened her eyes and came face to face with her cousin's tear stained face.

"Oh thank the gods you're ok!" Tomoyo's voice sobbed as she was suddenly being hugged.

"I'm fine Tomo… where am I?" Sakura asked sitting up. Her arm was sore, and she felt a little dizzy. She looked around the very green and masculine room. It smelled like Syaoran… had to be his room.

"You're in Xiao Lang's room at the mansion." Mei Lin's voice sounded from her right. She was seated in a small arm chair, Tomoyo sitting on the bed at her left. "I'm surprised he has you here. He never brings girls to his room." Mei Lin winked and Sakura giggled.

"How's your arm?" Tomoyo's concerned voice sounded again. Sakura looked at the bandage around her upper left arm, and remembered that Syaoran had been the one to receive the bullet. Her eyes widened as she looked around the room hoping to see him.

"Where's Syaoran? Is he alright?" Sakura asked trying to move from the bed, but Tomoyo pushed her down.

"He's fine. Tomoyo gave him a good yell." Mei Lin smiled, looking amused. Sakura raised a brow to her cousin. Tomoyo looked a little sheepish.

"It's his fault you got hurt. If he would have just believed us then you wouldn't have been in that situation." Tomoyo spoke. Sakura sighed. Her poor cousin was obviously distraught.

"Tomoyo I'm sure it would have happened weather we went off campus or not. Those guys were obviously following us. We hadn't even actually planned to go to the café we went to. It was kind of last minute." Sakura said, feeling an odd need to protect Syaoran from her upset cousin. That seemed to catch Tomoyo off guard a bit, and Sakura found herself thinking of Syaoran and making sure he was alright.

"You don't think Tsarina has realized you're here do you?" Tomoyo asked, a new look of fear taking over. Sakura shook her head. The bikers were definitely after Syaoran more than her.

"No I think they were after Syaoran. I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time." Sakura said, finally moving her feet off the bed. "Now let's all calm down. I'm alright. And I think you guys have a lot of explaining to do. Starting with this whole gang thing…"

Tiger

He growled in frustration, hitting the messenger hard across the face.

"I'm sorry sir. They didn't think Li would have a girl with him. They didn't think she would shoot back. She looked scared." The messenger spoke, cowering.

"I don't care who she is. I wanted Li dead! That was a golden opportunity to take him out without his pack there to back him up!" Tiger yelled wanting dearly to kill the rodent on the ground. A cough from the door way, had him turning around, aiming his gun. "What is it Chaz?" Tiger asked the man standing at the door watching the scene.

"Just wondering what all the ruckus was about." The black haired man shrugged. Tiger looked at the imp still cowering on the floor.

"I work with a bunch of idiots!" Tiger roared. Chaz was probably his only really good member. The rest were very much useless. Chaz showed a mock-hurt expression.

"I'm heartbroken that you feel that way." Chaz said, obviously suppressing a laugh. "I just came to tell you that Tatiana is on a war path. She apparently heard about Li's new fling and has a need for revenge." Tiger sighed. Not only did he have Li to deal with and a missing pit fighter, but now Tatiana was throwing another tantrum.

"Leave her alone. I don't have time to deal with her childish ways. I have enough to deal with. I don't have time to baby sit her." Tiger spat out. Chaz just shrugged before heading back out the door. Tiger lifted the messenger off the floor by his shirt and glared. "Send out another group to track Li, and this time don't screw up." The man just nodded quickly before running as fast as he could out of the room.

Sakura

This place was HUGE! Three stories complete with an attic and basement. Over 70 bedrooms, most all had their own bathrooms. A ballroom, humongous kitchen, helicopter pad, indoor and outdoor pool, and the entire basement was a training facility. The garage was almost as big as the mansion, and had about 50 cars and bikes in it. Tomoyo had gushed about how she had decorated just about every room in the house, except Li's room of course.

"You can stay in the room next to mine whenever you come over, Sakura!" Tomoyo said as she showed her to a room of baby pinks and gold. Sakura giggled as she entered the room.

"Please don't tell me you made this room because you thought I was going to be staying here a lot with you…" Sakura spoke as she took in the amazing view from the bedrooms' private balcony. It overlooked some beautiful gardens and the vast grounds. Tomoyo and Mei Lin both giggled.

"No I didn't, but at least it'll get some use now. We don't get a lot of guests in the house." Tomoyo spoke as she sat on the large bed.

"My room is across the hall, but I'm rarely there. Jamie has a room upstairs." Mei Lin shrugged. "Though when we get into fights, I stay in there." Mei Lin winked. Sakura giggled again, looking to her two friends.

"I should really go find Syaoran and make sure he's alright. Then we need to get back to school. I have a competition on Friday!" Sakura said, heading to the door. She rolled her eyes hearing the two girls laughing behind her as they made their way to the first floor to find Syaoran.

"He's probably in the basement or the coms room." Mei Lin said as they walked into the empty living room. Sakura followed Mei Lin as they headed for what Sakura figured was the coms room seeing all the computers. Syaoran wasn't there, but Jamie was, and some other guy.

"Oh hey Sakura!" Jamie said, turning from the screen where a picture of Tiger was in center focus. "This is Akashi, one of my members." Sakura smiled at the man. Black hair and yellow eyes suited his face.

"Sorry about scaring you earlier. Li had called in some backup, and me and the others were the only ones in the area at the time." Akashi said with a kind smile. Sakura wondered if all gang people we this nice, or if she just got lucky to know only nice ones… besides Tiger.

"That's ok. I didn't expect to be shot at and all. I appreciate the help." Sakura giggled. "I wanted to check on Syaoran." Akashi smiled to her and turned to the computers. Sakura could hear him typing in something, and then Syaoran's face came onto the screen.

"He's sparring with Eriol in the basement." Akashi said as the camera zoomed out to include Eriol, and what seemed to be a small audience. Sakura spared a glance to her cousin, seeing a slightly irritated look on the girls face.

"Come on Sakura." Tomoyo said, heading out of the room. Sakura waved to Mei Lin, before following her cousin.

Syaoran

He knew that Eriol needed an outlet for his frustration, but challenging him to a sparring match was probably not the best idea since he was still injured. The once white bandage was now bright red, and both he and Eriol were now sporting some nice bruises.

"Call it Boss. Wei will shoot me if you get hurt more." Eriol said through gasps. They were both a little winded too. Eriol was, after all, one of his best sparring partners. Syaoran gritted his teeth.

"I hate when you call me that." Syaoran said as he dodged another attack from Eriol, and countered.

"HIRRAGIZAWA ERIOL! HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND!" Tomoyo's voice screamed. It caught both of them off guard, and they winced. That girl wasn't a singer for nothing. Syaoran smirked at his cousin's sheepish look, and turned to look at the angry girl. Sakura was with her, and she too looked a bit upset. They were making their way to him and Eriol… well Tomoyo was on a war path, and poor Sakura was just along for the ride.

"Oh I wouldn't smirk if I were you Syaoran." Sakura's stern voice accused him. He felt the sudden need to hide behind someone. Then wondered where the hell that came from. No one talked to him like that. He went to say something, but she held up her hand. "Do I look like I'm finished?" His mouth clamped shut. "You are supposed to be resting your arm, and here you are bleeding through your bandages!" He glared at the small audience that started chuckling at his predicament. Shit… he needed to save face. He turned to glare at the gorgeous girl.

"You are not my mother or wife or anything to me. You will not talk to the future leader of the Wolf Gang like that Daidouji." He growled. To give her credit she didn't start crying, but he could have smacked himself for hearing the way he talked to her. She just glared back at him. So much for one step in the right direction.

"You're right Li. I'm not anything to you. My apologies future leader." She said before turning on her heal and walking out of the room. He groaned inwardly. He turned to Tomoyo and Eriol who were both glaring hard core at him.

"I would slap you if you weren't my leader." Tomoyo growled. Syaoran raised an eyebrow at her. If she wasn't so small compared to him, he might actually be afraid. "Eriol can I have your keys? I'm going to take Sakura back to school." He watched his cousin sigh and hand over the bike keys. As soon as she was gone, Eriol turned back to him.

"As a member of your gang I like knowing that you don't let people talk to you like that. As your cousin and friend… I think you're a total asshole. She was just worried about you." Eriol spoke in his always calm voice. Syaoran suddenly felt like a child being scorned by his parent.

"She's just some girl. Why should I care what she says?" Syaoran asked trying to sound as nonchalant as possible. Eriol clenched his jaw.

"She's Tomoyo's cousin, Mei Lin's best friend, and you were the one that wanted to get to know her." Eriol reminded. He really did feel like an ass. "She was going to invite you to her cheerleading competition, but after your big mouth spoke for you, I wouldn't hold my breath. I would even be surprised if she ever talks to you again." And with that Eriol left, and soon everyone that had been watching. Syaoran was left alone in the sparring room, and his arm was killing him.

Sakura

"I can't believe that jerk!" She said as she made her way to the front of the mansion. "The nerve of him!" She was so pissed off. Tomoyo was behind her, looking just as pissed off. Tomoyo had a set of keys in her hand, so Sakura figured they were leaving. Good riddance… she didn't want to be in his house one second longer.

"I knew Li was a jackass, but I didn't think he was that much of an asshole." Tomoyo mumbled. "I got the keys to Eriol's bike." Sakura groaned, but this time it was because she desperately wanted to drive. To feel the wind in her hair… without being shot at.

"I want to drive." She said, holding out her hand for the keys. Tomoyo's evil smirk made Sakura a little scared. Instead of handing over the keys, Tomoyo headed toward the garage. She stood in front of a wall of keys, tapping her chin. "What are you doing?"

"Revenge." Tomoyo said as she grabbed a set of keys and hit the button to open the garage door. Sakura caught the keys as Tomoyo threw them and looked around. What was she supposed to drive?

"Tomo… this is my confused face." Sakura said pointing to herself. Tomoyo laughed as she walked to a bike parked in front of the way out.

"This is Shadow." Tomoyo said, not actually touching the beautiful black bike. "Shadow is Li's pride and joy." Sakura finally caught onto the evil plan. "Think you can handle it?" Sakura giggled, as she walked up to the bike, feeling the smooth paint.

"Oh yea… I think I can handle this." She said as she climbed on and started the bike. She placed on the helmet Tomoyo had given her, and revved the engine. Oh she could more than handle this one. Tomoyo had gotten on Eriol's bike and started it too. Sakura was going to have to follow Tomoyo back since she didn't know the way, but she hoped Tomoyo would at least go a little fast. The two of them looked to the door, as it opened and over a dozen people looked to see what was going on. Sakura caught Syaoran's eyes and smirked before flipping him off. Revving once more, she and Tomoyo took off down the driveway, and onto the highway heading back to school.

Syaoran

He was walking toward the infirmary to get his bandaged changed when he heard the rev of a motorcycle, and it wasn't Eriol's bike. Then he heard another bike start. He walked toward the front door, Eriol and a few others following him. He opened the door and walked out seeing Sakura on Shadow, and Tomoyo on Eirol's bike. What the fuck was she doing on his bike!

"SAKURA!" He yelled, but she couldn't hear him. She smirked and flipped him off, before the two of them took off. If he broke his most prized bike he would probably have to shoot her. He turned glaring eyes on Eriol. "I thought she was riding with Tomoyo." Eriol actually laughed.

"Obviously she found a bike she wanted to ride more." Eriol said while still chuckling. Eriol walked past him, and into the garage. Most likely to get another ride.

"Did she have to take Shadow?" Ok so he was whining a little bit. "Why couldn't she take Raven?" He asked pointing to Mei Lin's bike.

"It's called revenge dear cousin. Plus think of it this way. You'll have to see her again to get your bike back." Mei Lin smirked from Jamie's arms. She did have a point though. Now he needed to think of a way to get back on Sakura's good side…
