Chapter twelve: confrontations!

Wufei, Duo and Quatre all stood there in the middle on the living room, their mouths hanging open and their eyes bulging out of their sockets at the sight that was before them. Leilo and Trowa were `cuddled' up against each other, it was just too disturbing for all three boys who were used to their constant bickering.

"I've found them" the sound of Heero's shout startled the three boys out of their stupor and they turned their attention away from the sleeping `couple.' All three boys did a double take at the grin that was pasted on Heero's face

"did we miss something?" Quatre asked looking confusedly at his companions, both shrugged and waited for Heero to tell them what he had found.

"we've got them now," Wufei raised his eyebrow hinting for Heero to say more, Heero just showed them a piece of paper with the words "men in black" written across the top and then there was a whole heap of information and a few small pictures on it.

"wake those two up and ill get Sakura, then we can discuss some things" Heero nearly skipped out of the room to the door where Sakura and Leilo's room was. All three boys stood there unmoving for quite sometime, trying to take it all in.

"what is he on?" Duo asked, tilting his head to the side before grinning like an idiot. "what ever it is, I want some!" The two other boys shook their heads and turned their attention to where Leilo and Trowa lay sleeping. Quatre nudged Wufei who pushed Duo over to the two figures, Duo just shrugged and went over to where Leilo's face was, peering down at her and getting as close to her a possible. He was about to touch her when a gun barrel was placed in his line of vision and the sound of it activating was enough for him to get out of the way before the blast shot out of the gun and imbedded itself into the wall across the room.

Duo stared at the mark then scowled at Trowa who had his head propped up slightly on Leilo's stomach, he was glaring ferociously at Duo and the others.

"what do you want?" he growled, keeping his voice as low as possible, so as not to wake up his companion. Duo hid behind Wufei, peeking out behind his back. Wufei groaned, he just couldn't get away from these idiots.

"Heero wants a meeting thing, he says he's found the men in black." Trowa nodded and quietly disentangled himself from Leilo's arms which had found their way around his arm and stood up. He looked down at the sleeping girl and sighed before gently shaking her to wake her up. Leilo groaned and shivered, pulling her blanket over her head. Trowa rolled his eyes and shook her again. This woke up the slightly irritated girl and she kicked out at whoever it was, Trowa dodged the attack and grinned.

"she'll be there in a few minutes" the others nodded their heads and made their way to the dining room table, Duo however was straight inside the fridge, looking for something to eat.

Leilo glared at Trowa for a few seconds before closing her eyes again.

"have the meeting without me, I'm too damned tired" Trowa looked at Leilo for a few moments before coming to a decision and lent down, placing his hands underneath her he lifted the almost asleep girl into his arms and he carried her to the table, placing her in her seat. Leilo opened one eye and glared at him before closing it again and snuggling back into the blanket, actually thankful for him in a small way.

Heero looked down at the sleeping Sakura and sighed, he really didn't want to wake her up, there was something about her that made him feel different, well that fact that he could feel anything was an amazing thing for him. He watched her sleep for a while before gently prodding her in the shoulder.

"wake up!" Sakura mumbled something in her sleep and rolled over, her back facing Heero. Heero not one for being ignored poked her harder. "I said WAKE UP!" Sakura leapt from the bed and hid behind the bed blinking sleepily at the person who was standing before her. Smiling slightly Sakura yawned.

"hello Heero" she said before placing her head back onto the bed and closing her eyes. "just five more minutes" she said sleepily, yawning again before she fell back to sleep. Heero rolled his eyes and picked up the kneeling Sakura, grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around her before heading back to the dining room, to tell everyone what he had found out.

Heero placed the sleeping Sakura next to the sleeping Leilo and sat down in his seat.

"so what's this about eh?" Duo asked while chewing on a kabana stick. Heero grimaced before clearing his throat

"well, I found them" Everyone bar the girls looked at him with the same expression `well duh!'

"we know that already, we want to know what it says about them" Wufei grunted, while he slapped at Leilo and Sakura to wake up. Sakura lifted her head slightly while Leilo snapped at his hand, almost succeeding in biting it. Trowa laughed while Wufei glared down that the girl who was trying to remember why she was sitting at the table.

Leilo grabbed the paper out of Heero's hand and scanned it quickly

"says that they are a bunch of guys who get rid of the weaker gangs and clans, there not a real clan….there called the brothers in arms, hired by….the council. Ok, so I vote we are on the rebels side!" she then placed the paper in the middle of the table and promptly went back to sleep, joining Sakura in much needed rest.

"I agree" Trowa stated, taking a glance at Leilo.

"you would" mumbled Wufei, Trowa turned his gaze to Wufei and glared

"and what is that supposed to mean?"

"you know exactly what it means, look at you, drooling over some girl that could kick your ass"

Trowa stood up and glared hatefully at Wufei

"well at least I haven't closed myself off from the opposite sex because my wife disobeyed me and got herself killed" as soon as it had left his mouth he knew he had gone two far. Wufei was seething, a laser gun in his hand, pointed straight at Trowa.

"you know nothing about me or what happened" he ground out, trying to keep his anger in check, his hold on it though was fading fast.

"shut up, use your testosterone where it is needed and go and kick some brother in arms butt" Leilo yelled, never taking her head off of the table, there was a muted agreement from Sakura next to her. All the boys stared at the two girls, thinking over what had been said before agreeing with them.

"well I like that idea" Duo said, shifting away slightly from the angered teens that were sitting beside him. Heero nodded his head.

"Quatre, you stay here and look after those two, the rest of us, get geared up, we leave in five" The other boys quickly left the table, leaving Quatre watching the sleeping girls curiously.

Syaoran sat in the circle of elders, his sword out before him, lying on the ground. It was dark in the temple and the elders were burning incense and had scented candles burning. All were chanting the same thing while Syaoran continued to think about his best friend Sakura.

"Xiaolang, think of the Card Mistress, you will see her soon." Syaoran said nothing as he closed his mind to everything but the thought of her.

~

Sakura felt strangely content while she slept, not realising that she was being brought to a place, somewhere on the astral plane.

~

Syaoran felt himself drifting he let go of everything and kept his eyes closed, pictures of him and Sakura flashing through his mind.

Opening his eyes Syaoran looked around the place, it was a plain beige colour with a few wisps of grey, there were flashes of colour every now and then but nothing as definite as his own projection of himself. Then he saw it, the bright pink aura that was the card mistress, the picture became clearer the closer he got to it and then as if filling in the colour there stood Sakura, who was rather perturbed about where she was.

Looking around Sakura spotted Syaoran and grinned before running towards him and hugging him.

"Syaoran" she squealed and they both hugged tightly. "where is everyone else?" she asked looking wildly around for Meilin, Tomoyo or Eriol to pop up.

"there is no one else coming Sakura, its only me" Sakura looked slightly disappointed but soon began to smile again

"how is this possible?"

"were on the astral plain, its like some kind of telepathy" Sakura just blinked a few times before shaking her head. Syaoran grinned "it doesn't matter if you don't understand, I just wanted to make sure you were ok" Sakura grinned at her friend

"oh its fantastic, were fighting to save the human race and…." Sakura's voice trailed off as she remembered something, a sudden sadness filled her as she thought back to the small information she read about Syaoran's death. Syaoran looked at her puzzled as to why she had stopped what she was saying.

"Sakura, wha-" his question was chocked off as Sakura hugged him tightly

"you have to promise me you wont die!" Syaoran, not knowing what Sakura was going on about decided to go along with her.

"I wont"

"no, promise me that you wont die, and that you and everyone else will be happy, I'm alive, so tell everyone not to be sad, ill find a way to get back to all of you" Syaoran looked at Sakura and smiled

"I promise I wont die….well if I get old I will" Sakura laughed at him and they both started to talk about what had happened since Sakura had disappeared.

Heero, Duo, Wufei and Trowa stood at the gates of where the brother in arms headquarters was. Heero cracked his neck, Duo is ankles, Wufei his shoulders and Trowa his knuckles, it was a tradition to do it before all fights that they had, some weird habit that they never got rid of.

"Ready?" Duo asked. The others just nodded their heads and split up, Heero and Duo to one side, Wufei and Trowa to the other.

Trowa turned to Wufei, a guilty look on his face.

"I…your right….I don't know anything…" Wufei turned to his companion and shrugged.

"neither do I" it was good enough for the both of them, it wasn't really an apology, but an understanding of what the other was talking about. They both grinned at each other, ready to kick some ass, and it would feel so good too.

Kameniji sat there looking at the monitors and sighed, the girls were still at the table as was Quatre, the three of them hadn't moved in over an hour and it was quite boring, there hadn't been any action since Trowa tried to take off Duo's head. Stretching her arms Kameniji got up from her seat and to the small fridge for something to eat. She missed when Leilo sat up and looked around in a panic, when Sakura did the same and Quatre grabbing his gun, all three left the room in a hurry and left the house in as much time as it took for Kameniji to choose a drink, all the while the small record button blinked on and off signalling that it had been the end of the tape…

Sujakata: thankyou for your reviews, I love them :D err…. I hope that some questions were answered in that one! Yes the Li files do get updated, the leader to be does it, that way they know about their family history and about who is in the family. It used to be recorded in books but then got switched to the computer because books are easily lost. And sorry for the long wait, I have about three or so months before yr 12 is finished and so I'm very busy, also I've been doing my x-men fic! Well have a good day :D
