Chapter Nineteen: Detective Duty

"What exactly are you doing my dear?" Tiger asked, watching Tatiana rifle through papers in his office.

"Looking for someone to take my anger out on, since I can't do anything to Kari." She said with a wicked smile before grabbing a file folder. "Chan Marni Mame? She related to the Dragon?"

"Oh Mame…She was his grandmother. She passed away a few years ago. I haven't gone through these in years. Pull another one." He said sitting down watching her pick another folder.

"Chun Ching-Lan. Says she moved away from Beijing to somewhere in Japan, and that's why she's still alive. So why didn't you set a hit out on her?" Tatiana asked looking at the girl in the picture.

"She was the daughter of one of the families that betrayed me. The father shipped her off to Tokyo, and I lost her. She'd be about 18 years old now." He spoke lighting a cigar as Tatiana's smile grew.

"How about I take this and do some research on it, and see if I can find her for you?" Tatiana said taking the folder, kissing him on the cheek and walking out of the room as Tsarina walked in.

"What's she so happy about?" She asked sitting on Tiger's lap.

"She found an old case folder and wants to kill someone. She gave me an idea though. I should go through those and clean it out." He spoke looking at the file cabinet.

"Do that later. Chaz says that they need you at the warehouse. And Sage and Kari got invited to Sakura's competition next Friday night." Tsarina spoke smiling evilly.

Kari and Sage

It was starting out to be a nice day at school. Chaz wasn't with them for the day, and the Twins were home planning Tigers' downfall. Sage had has arm around Kari while she and the girls ate lunch.

"So how are my brothers' handling the house arrest?" Kari asked as she munched on her salad.

"Not too bad. Syao is letting them do a lot of the planning." Sakura answered with a smile.

"And how are things with Eriol?" Kari asked turning to Tomoyo.

"Better. He's still real upset that Syaoran wouldn't let him fight, but Wei cleared him this morning, and he's been a lot cooler about me helping out ever since he heard me talking about leaving." Tomoyo answered before returning to the drawing she was working on.

"So, Tiger thinks we're going to the cheerleading competition next Friday. Hopefully he'll be gone by then, and we won't have to worry about watching our backs." Sage grinned as he stole some of Kari's salad. She playfully smacked his hand away from her food.

"I think the plan is going well. Mei Lin and Tomicka are working on it as well; trying to find some good snipers other hit men." Sakura said with a smile as Naoko and Rika joined them.

"Alex told me that everything was almost set." Rika said before biting into her sandwich.

Tatiana

She was peering through her binoculars at a girl with dark brown hair and matching eyes. The girl was smiling and flirting with some football jock about fifty yards from her hiding spot. After calling in a few favors she had located the once known Chun Ching-Lan. The girl, ironically, went to the same high school as Kari and the Cherry Blossom. If Tatiana could line her shot up correctly she could at least take out her target and Kari all at once. She would just tell Tiger that the bullet went farther than she had thought. Kari was a casualty of the assassination. She would have to take time with this, however. Planning and learning the girls' schedule and new name wouldn be simple. All she would have to do is break into the schools office that night. She took out her camera and took a couple candid shots of the girl with the football player before taking out her cell.

"Tiger? You'll never guess who I found!" She screeched in what she thought was a whisper.

"Who's that my dear?" His voice came through the receiver like a growl.

"Chun Ching-Lan! She goes to the same school as Kari. I'll be able to take her out within the next few days." She almost giggled.

"Sounds good my dear. You have until next Wednesday night. Enjoy yourself." He said before hanging up. She smiled wickedly before dialing Sage's number.

"Sage here…" Came his deep voice. She tried not to swoon. If everything went as planned Kari would be out of the way soon and Sage would be all hers.

"Do me a favor and look at the couple behind you kissing…" She spoke watching as he turned, pretending to talk to one of the girls, and look at the couple. "Find out their names for me please."

"No problem, I'll be able to do that when I get home. Are you going to explain as well?" He asked knowing that he was trying to sound nonchalant.

"Absolutely! Maybe I'll even let you help!" She giggled before hanging up and following the girl into the school, unnoticed.

Sakura

She watched Sage's eyes land on one of her cheerleaders across the quad and waited as he finished his call with Tatiana. She knew it was her by the slight sign he gave her when answering it. After he hung up the phone and turned back to the group, she could tell from his eyes that something was up. After all…he was just like Syaoran…

"The cheerleader making out with the football kid…" Sage started looking serious. Sakura knew who he was talking about having watched one of her friends making out behind Sage and Kari.

"What about her?" Sakura asked getting into business mode.

"Tatiana wants her name…which means something's up…" Sage continued.

"Which means that Tatiana is here somewhere at school." Kari added as Tomoyo texted the guards close to her.

"Which also means that I need to find out why Tatiana is interested in her before Tatiana gets to her…" Sakura said smiling at Rika and Naoko. "Emergency Cheerleading meeting after last period girls…spread the word!"

"You got it Captain!" Naoko said before running off toward another group of girls.

"I'll stay close to Chiharu." Rika said getting up and walking off into the school building.

"Tatiana said she might tell me why I need Mihara's name…but I don't trust it." Sage said looking at Kari.

"We know she has it out for me too…you should call Xiao Lang and my brothers." Kari stated looking at the clock, knowing that lunch was just about over. Sakura was already way ahead of her waiting as the phone rang.

"Yes Cherry Blossom?" Came Syaoran's soft chuckle.

"We have a situation at school…" Sakura said with all cheeriness out of her voice. She could hear Syaoran's chuckle immediately halt.

"Are you alright? What happened?" He stated and she could hear him moving.

"Don't come over here it's nothing to do with me." She heard him stop moving. "Tatiana called Sage, inquiring about one of my cheerleaders, Mihara Chiharu. We think she's in danger. I called an emergency squad meeting after school so I'll be home late. We also believe that Tatiana is at school somewhere…Tomoyo sent Jonny and Danny to look. Be prepared…we might bring Chiharu home."

"I'll have Eriol look into it, and I'll tell everyone to expect you and a guest." Syaoran spoke. "Are you sure you're ok Sakura? You know I can be there in minutes." Sakura giggled as the bell rang.

"I'm fine Little Wolf. I'll see you at home." She spoke hanging up before he could respond.

Syaoran

"I'm fine Little Wolf. I'll see you at home. CLICK" And Sakura's phone went dead.

"Love you too…" He sighed before looking up at the men in his office.

"What was that all about?" Mika asked with a slight smirk.

"Sakura said that Tatiana is interested in a girl at her school. Mihara Chiharu is the name. Eriol…I need you to run a background check. Tomicka…I need you to run one on this Chaz character. Mei Lin, I need you to go to the school and help keep an eye out for Tatiana. If asked say you're getting more work for your homeschooling." Jamie was about to interrupt when Syaoran lifted his glare to his friend, effectively shutting him up. "Jamie will go with you, since I know he'll bitch and moan if I don't let him."

"What about Mika and I?" Alex asked thinking about his girlfriend that might be in danger.

"Go help the Twins with their planning. They should be with Wolf in the study. Tobias, you and I are going to Tigers' warehouse and see what we can dig up…" Syaoran said grabbing his keys. Tobias only nodded, giving Tomicka a quick peck before following Syaoran to the garage.

Rika and Chiharu

"Hey Chi! Tak! Wait up!" Rika waved running down the hall toward the couple.

"What's up Rika?" Chiharu asked smiling at her friend. Her boyfriend, Takashi, kissing her cheek before heading into a nearby class.

"Sakura just announced and emergency Squad meeting after last period, and I wanted to make sure to tell you so it wasn't too last minute." Rika said as the girls continued down the hall, the bell ringing for the end of lunch.

"Oh, well good thing you caught me. I was going to grab Takashi and go to the mall, but he said he might have practice. I'll just txt him during history and tell him." She said with a smile as the girls entered the classroom. They both stopped giggling seeing a blonde sitting alone in the room smirking.

"Shit! Run!" Rika said pushing Chiharu out of the room as Tatiana lifted a gun and started shooting. Chiharu didn't wait for further instructions as they both ran up the flight of stairs to the second floor. They could hear people screaming, no doubt from the gun shots and the crazy blonde with a gun running after them. Another set of shots could be heard and the girls ducked down another set of stairs at the end of the hall, and out an 'Emergency Exit' door to their right…right into two people…really big people…

Mei Lin

They had just arrived and heard some shots being fired and kids running like crazy all around the school.

"Mei, call Xiao Lang! I'm gonna go find TJ." Jamie said as they sprinted in the opposite direction. She didn't get a chance to tell him she forgot her phone, and started sprinting toward a familiar brunet in the crowd. Running up to Sakura, she could see her glaring at Danny as he held her back from going into the building.

"What's going on?" Mei Lin asked, not daring to pull her gun out right now.

"Tatiana is in the building somewhere, I think Rika and Chiharu are her targets. TJ went to see if he could find them." Sakura said in an angry tone. Mei Lin nodded looking around for the others.

"Where are Naoko and Tomoyo?" Mei Lin asked not seeing the two girls anywhere.

"Well…they didn't want Tatiana to be the only one shooting at people, so they went after her. Sage told Danny to hold me back…WHICH IS BULLSHIT SINCE I'M YOUR FREAKING LEADER! Then he and Kari went after Tatiana too…Kari was hoping to shoot the bitch and tell Tiger it was an accident. They went the opposite way of Moyo and Nao…" Sakura finished still trying to struggle.

"Well…I understand why Danny is holding you back…Syao would kill him if anything happened to you. I'll stay out here with you. Call my cousin…I forgot my cell…" Mei Lin said as Danny finally let Sakura go. They could hear sirens in the distance.

Jamie

He had grabbed TJ and was heading for the side door when the 'Emergency Exit' door to their right opened and two girls ran right into them. Jamie noticed the girl in TJs' arms as Rika and wondered who the girl in his was. Picking both girls up, they quickly booked it back around the other side of the school. The girl in his arms tried to struggle, but Rika just smiled at TJ in relief.

"It's ok. I'm a friend." Jamie whispered, making the girl stop struggling.

"Oh my gosh! Takashi is still in the other class! What if that crazy blonde chick shot him!?" The girl started freaking out. Jamie wondered who the hell this Takashi person was, but nodded at TJ, who put Rika down and headed back toward the door. Rika started running again with Jamie, as they headed toward the group of kids, and Sakura. Jamie gulped seeing Mei Lin glare at him…oh he was going to have some explaining to do later…

Sage and Kari

They found some random kid in one of the math classrooms. Kari realized it was Chiharu's boyfriend, Takashi. The kid had been shot a couple times, but looked more pissed off than hurt.

"You ok kid?" Sage asked.

"Up the stairs to your left. She went after my girlfriend. I'll kill the bitch for shooting me!" They heard him yelling as Kari grabbed his good arm and helped him, while Sage went up the stairs looking for Tatiana.

Tatiana

Who the fuck was shooting at her? Oh it was that Daidouji bitch and some other wolf bitch she didn't know. She had lost Chun Ching-Lan when they had gone to the second floor. She probably would have been right on their tail if it wasn't for that damn jock that came out from the classroom across the hall and tried to fend her off with a math book and something pointy that he stabbed her with. She had shot him twice…once in the left arm, and once in the left leg.

"Fuck!" Tatiana screamed feeling the bullet lodged in her shoulder. One of those bitches was shooting at her again. She was now stuck on the third floor, wondering where the hell Sage and Kari were.

"Tatiana?" Sage's voice rang down the hall. "Where the hell are you? We gotta get outta here! The cops are on the way!"

"Where the fuck have you been?" Tatiana asked as she came out from one of the closets. She watched him run over to her and grab her good hand as they ran down the stairs he had just come up.

Sage

He smirked seeing Tomoyo land a shot on Tatiana before he caught up to them, with the blonde running up the stairs.

"Nice shot." He whispered seeing the smug look on Tomoyo's face. "I'll get her out of here…"

"Too bad you couldn't just shoot the bitch." Tomoyo said hiding her gun as she and Naoko turned to run back the way they came. Sage just nodded in agreement as he ran up the stairs. He wished he could shoot her, but they needed info, and he needed to stay in good graces with Tiger.

"Tatiana? Where the hell are you? We gotta get outta here! The cops are on the way!" He shouted down the hall. Where the hell was the idiotic girl. She just loved causing chaos whenever she came to this school. Couldn't just sit and be patient. "That's what makes her a Tiger and not a Wolf…no fucking patience." He said under his breath about to call her again when she stumbled out of a closet down the hall.

"Where the fuck have you been?" She asked gripping her shoulder. He suppressed a smirk, and the need to roll his eyes at her. He just grabbed her good hand and started back the way he came, knowing that Tomoyo and Naoko were both back outside. He was going to have a talk with her and Tiger about this. Like they needed anymore shit to worry about.

Mei Lin

"There's Jamie…" Sakura whispered after about ten minutes. Mei Lin was about to relax when she saw him carrying some chick. She glared at him, starting to fume. She saw Tomoyo and Naoko come out of the school about five feet behind Jamie, carrying some kid with Kari. She assumed Sage had left with Tatiana as the cops finally showed up. Kami they were slow as hell!

"Mei Lin…don't glare at Jamie." Sakura whispered placing a hand on her right shoulder.

"Why is he carrying her?" She whispered back, harshly. Knowing that it was just her jealousy kicking in, she tried to cool down as the group approached.

"Where are the damn teachers?" Naoko asked holding Takashi as Jamie placed Chiharu down. She immediately ran to Takashi.

"They're over in the corner talking to the cops." Jonny said showing up with a gun wound as well. "They have no clue what's going on, and the cops want to question everyone. I suggest you all get home. I already pulled the attendance records. I hope they don't check your dorm…"

Mei Lin watched the group nod as she turned to glare from Jamie to the girl he had been carrying.

Sakura

She was done trying to figure out why Mei Lin was fuming, but figured if Syaoran was carrying some chick she'd be pretty jealous too, so she just let Mei Lin glare. Jonny had told them to get going, so she nodded agreeing. Speaking of Syaoran…he was a millisecond away from coming to her school. He stayed away only because she mentioned the cops.

"Put Takashi in my car with Chiharu. Take their keys and drive their cars to the house. Book it to the house right now!" Sakura ordered as she helped Tomoyo with Takashi and Rika and Danny made sure Chiharu didn't go running.

"Kura…I'm gonna head back to get Sage. I'll try to call you tonight." Kari said. Sakura only nodded as the pink-haired girl ran off toward the street pulling a cell phone out. After getting Takashi in the back seat with Chiharu, she and Tomoyo jumped in front. They pulled out following Jamie and Mei Lin.

"Saks…where are we going?" Sakura heard Chiharu's meek voice from the back seat.

"Somewhere safe. There are some people that need to have a talk with you. You're going to have a lot of explaining to do Chi…" Sakura said as nicely as possible. "Tell Eriol that we're about a minute away." She said to Tomoyo who was still on the phone. Tomoyo relayed the message.

Wolf Mansion

"They're here." Eriol said looking out the window as an onslaught of vehicles pulled into the driveway. The guys all looked to the door as Jamie and Danny carried some kid in and Jonny following with blood dripping down his arm, with a fuming Mei Lin glaring at the back of Jamie's head. Sakura and Tomoyo came in escorting some girl, with Naoko and Rika flanking them.

"Chi, have a seat between the Twins." Sakura ordered. They all watched the timid girl nod and sit between the identical brothers. "Mei Lin?"

"I know I know…I already called Wei…" She spat angrily from where they had sat Takashi down on the floor so he wouldn't bleed on anything.

"Let's get down to business…" Syaoran said sitting across from Chiharu with Sakura next to him, and Eriol on the other side. Everyone was staring at Chiharu. "What's your name?" He asked her. He watched her look to the boy then back to him.

"M-Mihara Chiharu…" She whispered. Tobias handed Syaoran the papers that Eriol had previously given him. Syaoran glared at the girl causing her to shake and sink back.

"Let's try this again…what is your real name?" He asked a little harsher than he had meant. Chiharu's eyes went back to the boy.

"Takashi?" Rika asked seeing the two exchange the look.

"You're not going to hurt her are you?" He asked glaring at Syaoran. Syaoran smirked giving the little punk credit for holding his glare.

"No we aren't going to hurt her. We just want to know what Tiger wants with her." Tomicka answered. They all noticed Chiharu wince at the name.

"Chi honey…it's ok." Sakura tried, glaring at Syaoran, clearly telling him to calm down.

"I want your word!" Takashi stated, not backing down. He almost flinched seeing the Twins pull their guns on him. Chiharu's "NO!" screaming as she broke into tears. Takashi just fixed his glare at the brothers.

"Everyone needs to calm down!" Mika said walking over to Ryo as Alex did the same with Rowe.

"Ryo, Rowe, put your guns away." Tobias ordered his members. Syaoran got up from his spot and walked over to Takashi on the floor. He placed out his right hand to the boy.

"I, Li Syaoran, Leader of the Wolf Clan, give my word that no harm will come to the girl." Syaoran stated, "Unless she decides to lie to us." Syaoran finished. Takashi looked at the offered hand in disgust. The word of a Wolf was law; he just didn't like the last part of this deal. Takashi looked toward Chiharu's crying face seeing her nod to him.

"Fine…" Takashi said shaking Syaoran's hand. Syaoran took the opportunity to lift the kid to his feet, seeing where he had been shot. Takashi leaned against Rika, not moving his eyes from Syaoran. "It's ok babe…They won't hurt you." He spoke to his girlfriend. He saw her nod as everyone sat back down and looked to her.

"My n-name is Chun Ching-Lan. I'm from Beijing, China. My parents were Chun Huang and Chun Ching-Lin. My parents were Chinese spies trying to get inside information on Wong Tiger. Tiger found out that my parents were spies and killed them. When he tried to come after me, Takashi brought me here. Changed my name and kept a low profile. I don't know how Tiger found me." Chiharu finished. Everyone turned to look at Takashi who was still glaring at Syaoran.

"Then what's your real name?" Syaoran asked. Takashi just smirked.

"Yamazaki Takashi. I didn't have to change my name. No one knew I was her fiancée. I'm from here." He challenged. Syaoran turned back to Chiharu.

"How old were you when this happened?" She gulped looking back to Takashi who nodded again.

"Ten…it was the first time I had met Takashi. His dad was the one that got us the plane and got us out of the country. I've been Mihara Chiharu ever since, and I never had a problem until Sakura got here and people started snooping around." She spoke angrily. She didn't want to blame Sakura but she was mad. Sakura looked shocked that Chiharu was blaming her, although it did kind of make sense.

"Listen Chi…we weren't the ones snooping. Tiger sent one of his flunkies snooping. She called one of our undercover members asking about you. You weren't even supposed to get involved." Sakura stated.

"So what are we going to do now?" Takashi asked.

"You, young man are going to follow me to get fixed up." An elderly man spoke from the door. Jonny followed without word as Jamie and Danny grabbed either side of Takashi.

"Don't worry hero boy, she'll still be here when you get back." Jamie spoke seeing Takashi look back.

"Well…looks like you're going to be staying here for a while until we can figure out how to protect you." Syaoran said setting his sights back on the girl who had stopped crying and just looked mad. "Is there someone we need to contact for you?"

"No…Me and Takashi live together in our own place." She spoke looking back at the leader of one of the most dangerous and prestigious gangs in the world.

"Since you're parents were spies, I don't suppose you would have any information for us?" Mei Lin asked, arms crossed over her chest. They watched Chiharu sigh and look at her hands.

"Yea, I suppose I know some stuff. Before we get all show and telly though, can I check on Tak and change or something?" She asked passing a hand through her hair. Sakura elbowed Syaoran looking at him.

"Rika will take you to Takashi, and the other girls will get your room set up. We can meet back here in about thirty minutes." Syaoran said nodding at Rika. She nodded back, taking Chiharu's hand, while Naoko grabbed the other.

Sage and Kari

After bringing Tatiana back to Tiger's place, he had to turn around and go pick up Kari. Tatiana hadn't told him anything about the Chiharu girl at all, and he figured if she wouldn't tell him then he would go talk to Tiger. Currently, however, he and Kari were thinking of a way to go to Wolf mansion. They were on her bed cuddling and thinking.

"Any ideas?" Kari asked.

"We could use the mob boss thing again. Might work…" Sage said looking down. She sighed and nodded in agreement as they got up and headed to find Tiger. He was in his study looking through a bunch of folders. He looked up smiling, seeing the two enter.

"What do I owe the pleasure?" Tiger asked looking up from the file in his hand.

"I'm assuming you heard about what happened at school today." Kari asked sitting down, with Sage standing behind her. Tiger nodded.

"Tetsuya isn't very happy about it." Sage spoke watching Tiger tense a bit. "He wants Kari and me at his place as soon as you'll let us."

"Then I suggest you go before he comes looking for you." Tiger spoke back.

"There's a catch…" Kari spoke. "And I have a question before we go." She spoke playing with a file folder that caught her eye. "Make that a couple questions."

"Anything my dear…the catch first though." Tiger said sitting down. Sage, too, was wondering where she was going with this.

"The catch is he wants us to stay the night. He's not a happy camper, and he's worried about me. Sage too I guess, but me the most." She said cutely causing Tiger to chuckle.

"Alright…I can understand that. I'll see you after school tomorrow then. And your questions?" Tiger said smiling at the cute girl.

"What was Tatiana doing? What are all these things?" She started still playing with one of the folders.

"She got bored and wanted something to do, so she was looking up an old hit. She said she found the girl. I'll have a talk with her later about what she did today. And these are old hits from China. I've been going through them all day. Throwing away some and getting some ready for searching." Tiger answered.

"Well in that case…I want one. Not fair that Tatiana got to do one and not me." She pouted cutely, putting on the charm. Sage looked to the folder she had pulled and stiffened a bit. All he heard was Tigers' chuckle as he sat back down.

"As long as it's a good one." Tiger spoke, lighting a cigar and looking at her expectantly. She looked up on cue, still smiling.

"Aki Sage?" She asked, putting on the 'who's that' face. Tiger's smile faltered a bit.

"He's Wolf's nephew. I lost him seven years ago." Tiger went to grab it, but Kari closed it and smiled again.

"Good! I can one up her! We'll see you tomorrow!" She spoke walking around his desk, kissing Tiger on the cheek. Sage tried not to glare, or gag. Kari tried not to gag as well, as they left the house with a small backpack of clothes, and the file.

Com-link

"That was a little too close for comfort…" Sage spoke as they weaved in and out of traffic. They would drop the bike off down town, and pick up their hidden bike.

"I know…When I saw the file I knew I had to get it before he had a chance to look in it. No offence hun, but you don't look any different from your picture." She spoke holding him tighter.

"I know…that's why I started thinking of a millions ways to get out of that house before Tiger could kill us." Sage spoke as they started for Wolf Mansion.

"We'll talk to my brothers and see what we can do…" She spoke. He nodded as he sped up, wanting nothing more than to feel the safety of his own friends and family.

Wolf Mansion

"Chi I'm fine! I can walk on my own…" Takashi spoke as they walked back to the living area. Chiharu had had time to change and eat before Takashi was done. He had been bandaged and redressed as well. They had both had to borrow clothes from the gang.

"Well I still want to be right with you…I'm scared…" She spoke as they sat together, with the rest of the gang sitting around. "Mr. Li…I know there are too many people here to be just your gang." She spoke looking around the room.

"I told you she was smart Syao…" Skaura giggled looking to the Wolf leader.

"You would be correct. There is also the Dragon and the Lion clan here." He spoke making the couples eyes widen. They hadn't realized the danger they were in till then. "So why don't you give us the information you know." Just as she was about to open her mouth, the room of fifty or so heard a bike pulling up. The Twins were the first to the door, holding up guns.

"Just so you know…I'm a better shot than both of you." They heard as Sage and Kari walked in. Ryo and Rowe lowered their guns glaring at Sage.

"Wanna make a bet Aki?" Rowe asked before joining the group. Sage only laughed.

"What are you two doing here?" Ryo asked hugging his baby sister.

"Well, found out that Tatiana was bored, so she had been going through Tiger's old hit files. That's why she was at school. Also found out Tiger was going through said files, and I happened to find this one." She spoke putting the file on the coffee table. Syaoran grabbed it, and looked at it along with Sakura, Tobais, Jamie, Mei Lin, and Tomicka. He then handed it to Eriol and Tomoyo, who handed it to Chiharu. "We told Tiger our old mob boss wanted us to stay the night. We're here all night."

"Kari was coy. She got it away from him before he could look at it and realize what was going on." Sage spoke looking at the couple on the love seat curiously. "So what's their story?"

"Sage, Kari, meet Chun Ching-Lan. Tatiana's hit. Her parents' were Chinese spies. She now goes by Mihara Chiharu. Her fiancée, Yamazaki Takashi. Chiharu, Takashi, This is Torrent Kari, and Aki Sage." Jamie spoke.

"Chiharu was just about to tell us some info on Tiger." Tomicka spoke turning back to the couple. Chiharu looked up from the file in her hands, looking shocked.

"Nice to see you again Mr. Aki." Chiharu smirked, sending looks back and forth between the two.

"Same here Chun…" He spoke angrily before exiting the room.

"What was that all about?" Kari asked now glaring at Chiharu like Mei Lin.

"My dad and Sage's dad were best friends. We were supposed to get engaged, but Sage was sent to Japan, and my parents changed my engagement to Takashi." Chiharu smiled at her fiancée.

"So then why is he pissed?" Syaoran asked.

"So his parent's died seven years ago. He blamed me cuz if my parents hadn't gotten caught he seems to think his parents would still be alive." She spoke, brushing it off. "He'll get over it. Anyways…information. I suppose you've tried finding info on the one they call Chaz?" She inquired. Syaoran looked to Tomicka.

"Nothing I could find." She spoke.

"That's because Chaz isn't his name. It's Chance Azari. He's an undercover operative for the Asian CIA. They've been trying to bust Tiger for years. So try not to kill him…He's a good guy." Chiharu spoke looking at Kari. Kari and the others looked surprised! Kari would have never thought nasty Chaz was a good guy….she would have to corner him sometime.

"Kari…stop spacing…" Rowe spoke nudging her. She looked back to the girl on the love seat.

"He has been there for about four years though, so I wouldn't go blowing your cover to take sides with him." Chiharu spoke making Kari frown…there went her plan.

"Akashi…go run a check on this Azari Chance." Jamie spoke to his second in command.

"Now, I don't know anything on this Tatiana chick. I assume she was the blond bitch that was shooting at me. But Tiger's second, Tsarina…she's freaking crazy." At the name Sakura looked up.

"She killed off Saks mom about 2 years after Sakura was born, and she did it without anyone suspecting. Then she weaseled her way into Kinomoto Fujitaka's family, and murdered him about 2 years later, playing it off as his broken heart made him commit suicide. The only ones that had any clue was Li Yelen. I'm guessing that's your mom." Chiharu spoke pointing to Syaoran. Sakura was crying in his shoulder after finally hearing how her parents had died.

"She is…" Syaoran confirmed.

"Anyways…Then Tiger found out that instead of Tsarina keeping Sakura as his winning pit fighter locked up, Sakura had ran away and was in Japan. I had a feeling it was you when you showed up at the school. Tsarina wants Sakura dead."

"And Tiger wants Sakura to warm his bed." Kari spoke after. Syaoran growled low, tightening his hold on the girl crying into his shoulder.

"How do you even know all this anyways?" Mei Lin asked.

"I got a hold of one of my dad's old buddies from the department. Told him that I wanted any and every detail on Tiger so I would know how to keep away from him. I know all his bars, and hideout locations that the CIA has on file. But that's all I know. I'm sure you know more than I do." She spoke feeling tired.

"Some stuff we didn't. You two can go to your room. Naoko and Rika will show you the way. When we figure out what to do with you we'll have someone come for you." Tobias spoke. Chiharu and Takashi just nodded before getting up and leaving the room.

"Kari, go find Sage and make sure he's alright. I'm going to take Sakura to our room for a bit. Meet me in the library in twenty." Syaoran spoke. Kari nodded leaving right away, as the others dispersed.

Sage

He was lying on his bed looking at a picture he always carried in his wallet. It was the last one taken of he, and his parents. He sighed remembering the stupid girl down stairs. If her stupid dad hadn't slipped up his parents would still be alive. He groaned hearing a knock on his door. It was probably Wolf.

"It's opened…" He spoke sitting up. He was surprised to see Kari. He blushed slightly as she came up to him after shutting and locking the door.

"Hey baby!" She spoke smiling at him. She pulled him into a hug feeling his arms around her waist. "What's the matter Sage?"

"Her parents are the reason mine are dead…" He spoke angrily. He fought against her slightly as she pushed him down on the bed and straddled him.

"Now Sage…you don't really wanna hold a grudge against a girl whose parents are gone too? That's not the Sage I know and love…" She spoke then froze like he had under her. He flipped her over quickly staring at her.

"What did you say?" He asked looking her in the eyes. She mentally punched herself for letting it slip. She looked in his eyes more scared then when she had to face Tiger for the first time.

"Nothing…" She spoke smiling. She felt his hand slide under her shirt, caressing her skin. "Sage…I know you…" Her words were cut off as he kissed her. She sighed in the kiss, wrapping her legs around his torso.

"I love you as well." He whispered as he kissed her neck. She was so happy she didn't know if she was going to cry or not. She pulled his head up and kissed him deeply. He groaned as she ground into him. His other hand now traveled up her school skirt, massaging her thighs. "Tell me to stop…" He groaned as he latched onto a sensitive spot on her neck. She went to respond, but moaned instead.

"Don't stop…" She got out through a moan as his hand reached her breast. She moved her hands to the hem of his shirt, pulling it off him. Her hands moved over his smoothed skin down to his pant line. She didn't even realize her shirt and skirt were gone as Sage's mouth made contact with her left breast. "Sage…" his name was whispered, and it made him crazier. He wanted her, needed her. Like a starving man needed food. Like a fat kid on a diet wanted cake. He felt her unbuckle his belt, and unbutton his pants.

He pulled his pants off and threw them like he had her skirt and shirt. He watched her dilated eyes look over him and felt a blush come to his cheeks as he too looked over her beautiful body. He climbed back over her and kissed her again. He moaned in pleasure feeling her caress his hardened member. He could tell she was nervous, and smirked knowing she had nothing to be nervous about.

"Kari…are you sure?" He got out breathing hard. He chuckled seeing determination in her eyes. She giggled, caressing his cheek.

"Do you really love me? Are you sure?" She asked back, millimeters from his lips. I am sure I love her…she's the only one I want…why did I ever doubt it?

"I am so in love with you…" He spoke as serious as he possibly could. She grabbed a handful of his curly hair and pulled him roughly to her in a demanding kiss, flipping him over. He chuckled as he watched her evil smirk. She moved down his body causing friction, making him groan again. She moved her hands down and removed his boxers, finally releasing his throbbing shaft. He tensed feeling her lightly move her hand up and down it, adding pressure and making his hips buck.

"Show me you love me, Sage…" She whispered in his ear. Her hair tickled his heated skin. Her hand was so soft on him. He had to close his eyes to center himself, with little success. If she continued he would surly lose it. Shooting up like lightening he grabbed her hands, removing them gently and threw her against the mattress. He climbed over her, holding her hands above her head. Settling between her legs he positioned himself at her entrance.

"This might hurt…" He spoke looking worried at her. She nodded telling him to continue. He kissed her deeply, and entered her swiftly. He pulled away to moan at how tight and wet she was. It was the exact meaning of intense pleasure. He was more fixated on her pain stricken face then the feeling he was having. He moved out slightly and then back causing her face to contort in pain again.

"Don't stop…" She got out in a painful gasp. He moved again as slow as he could. After about six more times of this pain-stakenly slow movement she finally released her breath and seemed to relax. Testing it he moved a bit faster and heard her intake of breath. It didn't sound painful, but he couldn't be sure, so he moved more and set a pace. He realized she was no longer in pain when she wrapped her legs around his waist and met him in his thrusts. Groaning in delight he picked up speed, enjoying the pleasure he was feeling from her. He felt her shudder as she spoke his name. He felt her walls tighten around him and moaned himself as he picked up pace yet again.

She was now screaming his name, and he was speaking hers with all the love in his heart. He was kissing her neck, her face, and she was grabbing him tightly as she reached another peak. He noticed her satisfied eyes and felt himself cum. She held him to her as they both shock with the aftershock of pleasure. She started giggling as he kissed her and she played with his hair.

"Sage…I really do love you…I didn't just say that to get you to sleep with me." Kari spoke looking up at him. Then she looked at the clock. "Oh shoot…we were supposed to be downstairs fifteen minutes ago." He chuckled and pulled off and out of her.

"I love you too Kari. I didn't just say it either." He spoke handing her the clothes he had taken off her. He helped her get dressed, and she him while kissing each other the whole time. "And if we're late…oh well."

"Sage…" She started a little scared. "What are we going to tell them?" He smiled holding his hand out to her.

"Whatever you want to tell them." Sage answered caressing her hair.

"I don't want to tell my brothers yet." She said timidly. "But I don't want you to be offended. I just want this to be between us for a while." He kissed her again to shut her up.

"I agree." He spoke. He was pretty sure her brothers would kill him. "Lets' get down stairs." She agreed as they unlocked the door and headed to the living room.

Living Room

They were waiting for Sage and Kari wondering what was taking them.

"I'm gonna go get them!" Ryo said as he started for the stairs. Akashi grabbed the back of Ryo's shirt and threw him back.

"Think not kid. Kari is trying to cheer him up. Give them a minute." Akashi spoke. As if on cue, the couple came back smiling brightly holding hands. "Told ya…"

"So what are we going to do with Chiharu?" Tomoyo asked looking at Syaoran and Sakura. She was glad her best friend had finally stopped crying.

"We're making them Wolves."
