(Dream)

The music was blasting from the loudspeakers and everyone that was around was dancing to the pulsating rhythm out on the dance floor. Couples locked in arms, holding each other tightly. Not ever wanting to let go from the other. Others were just moving to the music. Just feeling it and being oblivious to their outer surroundings.

This was the life. Having fun, dancing till the dawn, not worrying or caring about what was happening in the outside world, food and drinks to go around, and just hanging out with friends.

Everything was going all right till the moment of enjoyment was interrupted by the sound of shattered glass, and gunshots in the air. The music was cut short, and people started to either panic, or fire back. People ran in every direction not trying to get caught in the crossfire. One person however decided to venture back into the building to look for someone in particular.

She looked frantically around the chaos around her. People were running, screaming, some were hurt, and others were trying to shield them by firing back at the outsiders. She managed to push her way through the crowd till she got to her destination. She found a tall dark-haired young man in his mid-twenties standing around and yelling orders to others that were around him. The young girl started to scream to him, “Touya!”

The young man turned around to see his sister standing at least twelve paces from him.

He yelled back at her, “Sakura, it's not safe here for you. GET OUT!”

She shook her head saying, “No! I won't leave without you.”

Touya just stared at his sister seriously and yelled, “Sis this is not the time to have an argument with me Yukito!”

Another young man with dark-hair heard his name being called and ran towards his best friend. When he got there he stood next to him.

“What?” he asked.

Touya pointed at someone in front of him and Yukito looked to see whom he was pointing at. Yukito was in shock it was Sakura.

“Take her mate. She needs to get out of here, or else she's going to get hurt,” said Touya.

Yukito just nodded, and went towards Sakura. He grabbed her by the arm and started to pull her towards the backdoor of the building they were in.

“Come on baby girl! We have to get you out of here, your brother's orders,” said Yukito. Sakura struggled against Yukito but he held on tightly. She knew he wasn't about to defy orders from his leader. She looked at Touya with a sadden look on her face. She realized it must have been truly hard for him to make this decision. With one last look of apprehension she turned back to see her brother shouting out more orders.

Then it happened.

The last thing in her mind that would ever occur happened in an instant. Some more shots had been fired.

In a slow motion Sakura saw it.

One of the bullets had hit her brother. He hadn't seen it coming at all. He had his back turned. But the moment that the bullet had struck him he had fallen to the ground.

Sakura's eyes went up in alarm. It took her a moment to realize what just occurred.

In an instant she screamed his name,”Touya!”

With that Yukito turned around to see what she was screaming at. He froze taking in the picture before him. There lay his best friend on the floor. At that moment Sakura yanked her arm away from Yukito and ran towards the fallen body of her brother.

`He can't be dead, he can't,' she thought to herself.

As she got close enough to him. She knelt beside him and started to shake him.

“Please, Touya wake up! Tell me you're alright please, please you promised you would never leave me.” She pleaded.

(The dream ends)

“You promised you wouldn't leave me,” she repeated in her sleep.

“No!” Sakura yelled jumping out of her sleep, her hair matted by sweat and her breath came in short gasps.

It took her awhile to realize that she had only been dreaming. `Damn!' she thought. She prayed that she didn't wake anyone up. It was nights like these that she wished she didn't dream so much. Only it wasn't really a dream. It was a memory. And it was a horrible one at best. She looked at her clock to realize it was only three o'clock in the morning.

She sighed knowing that the best thing to do was to go back to bed. She had school in the morning and she needed rest. Hopefully, this time around she wouldn't have any more dreams.

When morning finally did come the annoying beep from the alarm clock went off. Sakura scrambled to reach for it; she started to mutter, “Alright, alright I'm getting up”.

As soon as she pressed the off button she gazed at the clock that said 7:00 A.M.

`Why does school have to start so early', she wondered.

Not that Sakura minded school so much. It was just the getting up early every morning routine that got to her. Fortunately, for her today was Friday and the weekend should prove to be some comfort from the strenuous week she'd been having.

She got out of bed and went into her bathroom to take a quick shower. Afterwards she went to her closet and pulled out her school uniform. The uniform consisted of a dark blue skirt that went to her knees; the top was the same shade blue but with a white tie around the collar. Next she proceeded to put on her uniform. After completing that task she gazed at herself in the mirror.

She took notice of the reflection staring right back at her long flowing honey brown tresses, with emerald-eyes that with time had lost their brilliance, and a milky-white complexion.

She sighed looking at herself noticing the many differences that had taken place over the years in her. She knew that she wasn't the old herself anymore. Shocked at the mere thought of the past she stopped herself. Sakura grabbed her hairbrush and ran it through her hair. Then she braided it and then twisted it so it would be in a bun. She was going for the old-fashioned look. Although, much to her dismay it still made her attractive.

Since she had started to go to Reeds Private School when she was fifteen she wanted to start over in everything from the style of clothes she wore, to the way she looked, and the way she behaved, as well as too what she did for fun. She didn't want anything to remind herself of the past. Unfortunately, that plan didn't last very long.

So she had to make a compromise with herself. When it came to style she could still dress fashionable, but in a bookish sort of way. She always wore her hair either in a bun, or a braid, as long as it didn't make her too noticeable. As for her personality, she became introverted. But she did have a few friends, to say the least. Also, she did what normal teenagers did for fun, movies, shopping; she even joined the cheerleading squad. Although, at times she believed she could live without all the constant attention it got her.

Overall, the change hadn't been too drastic. But in some ways, she still wasn't truly happy. For one her eyes had lost the sparks that were once there. The fire that had burned inside her had long ago extinguished. She felt that she would never be the same ever again. But then wasn't that what she had wanted. She also, figured as long as she didn't do anything extreme, or got into trouble. She would be safe from doing something she would end up regretting.

Sakura placed her hairbrush back on her dressing table and took one last glance over herself. She reckoned that she should get a move on. That is if she didn't want to be late, of course. She walked out of her room towards the staircase that led to the first level of the house. Few minutes later, she walked towards the dining room where she found her father and her aunt.

“Good morning, father,” she said she went over to kiss him.

Her father looked up at her with a smile on his face, and replied” Good morning, Sakura,”

She smiled back at him, and then she noticed her Aunt Yolei who was sitting towards the right side. So Sakura went over to where she sat and gave her a kiss also. After doing so, Sakura sat opposite of her aunt.

“So how is the Birthday Girl doing this morning,” asked Aunt Yolei.

With that question Sakura's head turned to her with a blank expression.

“Don't tell me you've forgotten that today's your birthday?” asked Aunt Yolei.

Sakura nodded her head yes and replied, “To be honest I had forgotten. I suppose the dinner party is still on for tonight then?”

“Of course, it's tradition for the family, meaning your aunt and me and you to celebrate. If you want you could go out later with some friends if you wish,” said Mr. Kinomoto.

“Thanks dad!” replied Sakura. Like always she looked at her watch and realized she had to leave already.

“You better get along dear. Have Jameson take you in the car,” said her aunt.

“Thanks! Also before I come home I have to stop somewhere, alright!” she said while leaving the room.

Not noticing the expressions on both her father and aunt's face.

(Somewhere in L.A.)

“I'm not going to ruin her birthday by telling her this”, replied an angry voice.

“Listen to me if there was any other way around this I would tell you but trust me. She and her family have to be warned. PLEASE! Yukito listen to me. Just for once listen. This is important. I know when they moved you vowed, hell I even vowed, and so did the rest of us. We would try to keep her out of this. But it isn't going to work. He isn't going to wait around anymore. He wants to finish what he started. He wants every Kinomoto dead and any living Pantera dead. He won't be happy until they're all gone. INCLUDING US!” said the distressed man to Yukito.

“I know, I know. What the hell am I supposed to do though? She won't be happy when I tell her this. She doesn't want this anymore. She just wants peace and I promised her she would have it. I can't go back on my word. “, Yukito retorted.

“We'll think of something so don't worry about it for the moment. Keep up the plan that you had. Go to Tokyo and surprise her for her birthday. It will do her good to see a familiar face. Don't mention, anything yet until we're sure he's on the move again, okay!” said the man that Yukito was talking to.

“I'll do that! Just keep me current on anything new. And I won't mention anything to her, or to her family. Until we're absolutely sure of what's going on, alright!” said Yukito. With that the two men ended their conversation.

Yukito left with a thought on his mind `If he does come back we're going to be in some serious trouble.' With that lingering thought still in his head he made his way to the airport hoping to catch the flight to Tokyo.

(Back in Tokyo)

Pulling into the parking lot of Reeds Private School Sakura got out of the car, and looked at the driver.

“Thanks, Jameson!” she said.

The driver just nodded his head in recognition then drove off.

Sakura started to walk towards the entry of the school when immediately she bumped into someone.

Sakura snapped out of her reverie and glanced at the person she bumped into.

It was a girl.

She had black hair with some red highlights in it, and vibrant ruby-eyes. Next to her was another girl who had black hair also, but instead of red she had purple highlights, and dark blue-eyes. She also, noticed that they were both wearing the school uniform.

`New students, although it's a bit strange to be transferring near the end of the semester' Sakura thought to herself. She opted to introduce herself to them.

“Hi! I'm Sakura Kinomoto. Sorry for bumping into you. I usually don't space out until after first period is over. And you would be?” asked Sakura.

Both girls looked dumbfounded at the girl standing in front of them. She certainly was different from what they had both expected. Seeing on how most of the girls so far were kind of ignoring them.

One of the girls answered back “I'm Mei Lin Li and this is my friend Tomoyo Daidouji. We're both new to this school.”

“Well Mei Lin and Tomoyo welcome to Reeds Private School. If it's not too much to ask could I show you around the school?” asked Sakura nicely.

Both girls shook their heads considering they hadn't a freakin' clue as to where they were going anyways. The girls followed Sakura into the building when suddenly they both came to a sudden halt when Sakura stopped in midway in the hall. Sakura turned around and asked, “Do you know where your lockers are?” Both girls shook their heads and handed a piece of paper to Sakura so she could look at it.

“Lockers 223, and 224, hey these are near my locker. I'm 222! I'll show you which hall they're in.” Sakura said.

The two girls followed Sakura down a hall and then towards the front entryway where she came to a row of lockers. Sakura then pointed to them which lockers were 223 and 224. Both lockers were to the right side of where Sakura was standing.

“Thanks for showing us where the lockers were. Since that has been figured out. Perhaps you can show us where some our classes will be, that is if you don't mind?” asked Mei Lin.

“I don't mind really. I like to help people out. Just show me your schedules and I'll try to show you quickly before the bell rings,” replied Sakura.

Again, the two girls showed her the piece of paper they had with them. Sakura took a glance at both of the girls' schedules and realized right off that they had some of the same classes together. Five subjects out of seven the girls had together. That was still good though.

Sakura looked up to the girls with a smile on her face, and said “You're in luck we have five classes together. Even the same lunch time. This definitely is a good thing. First class is chemistry that's upstairs in the science hall. Come on, I'll show you.”

The two girls just followed Sakura through the maze, which was Reeds.

Again, the two new girls were relieved that someone was willing to show them around. For they figured not all the people at Reeds would be so nice to strangers. Especially, to people like them.

When they got to the classroom everywhere was crowded. Sakura looked around until she found some empty seats near her friend Naoko Yanagisawa. She motioned for the two girls to follow her and they did.

“Hey, Naoko, how are you doing this morning?” asked Sakura.

“Alright, by the way Happy Birthday Sakura!” replied Naoko.

“Thanks, Naoko!” said Sakura flatly.

The other two girls were surprised to find out that it was Sakura's birthday. They noted her reaction didn't show much excitement.

“By the way Naoko, this is Mei Lin Li and Tomoyo Daidouji. They are new to the school,” said Sakura while pointing in their direction.

Naoko just nodded her head acknowledging them both.

Suddenly the bell rang it was time for class to begin.

After four classes had passed it was finally lunchtime and everybody went to eat. Usually, Sakura sat with her friends at lunch. Which included Rika Sasaki, Chicharu Mihara, and her friend Naoko on occasion, Chicharu's boyfriend Takashi Yamazaki would sit with them but today he had other plans. Also, the new girls Mei Lin, and Tomoyo joined them.

While sitting down at nearby bench table the girls were making plans on what to do to celebrate Sakura's birthday. The girls wanted to do something fun since Sakura turned eighteen today.

“You guys, listen to me. I don't want to do anything outrageous, okay! You know I'm not into partying and besides I would rather have a peaceful evening instead.” Sakura stated firmly.

The girls, excluding Naoko who always prided herself to be the voice of reason on many occasions where both Rika and Chicharu got a bit carried away decided that Sakura needed to have some fun.

REAL FUN!

“The Scorpio Club!” shrieked Rika in excitement.

The girls just looked at her as if she had gone insane.

“What's that?” asked Chicharu.

Rika just looked at Chicharu as if she'd grown another head. She couldn't believe that none of them had heard of the place.

“The Scorpio Club is a nightclub silly. You know a place where they have music, drinks, people dancing that kind of stuff.” Rika said as if she were talking to a child.

“It's the perfect atmosphere to celebrate in. You'll have a wild time guaranteed Sakura,” she continued while looking at her best friend.

“I don't know Rika. It doesn't sound like a good idea.” Sakura said.

“I promise you. You'll have a good time.” Rika said, also she was pleading with her eyes hoping that her best friend would say yes.

Sakura sat there lost in thought 'should I go? I got a feeling something is going to happen and it isn't going to be good either.'

Finally, Sakura admitted defeat and agreed to the plan. Even though, she didn't want to really go out. It would at least, make Rika happy.

The plan had been set. At eight they would meet at Sakura's house. Unfortunately, both Mei Lin, and Tomoyo wouldn't be able to go with them. For they had previous plans made for that night. Although, they promised that over the weekend they would do something with Sakura. It seemed that they both took a liking to this girl. Not really knowing why. But they got the strangest feeling that they would be seeing a lot of her in the near future.

(In another part of Tokyo)

“Tonight's the night it's going down,” said a young man with dark-hair.

“Yeah!” replied another young man with brown hair.

“You think it's wise to take the girls with us?” asked the young man with dark-hair.

“Of course, they're smart and they can handle themselves. Besides all of us are being needed tonight. Shidoui is going to wish that he'd taken his business elsewhere.” The brown-haired young man chuckled loudly.

“You do realize he's still in America from what our sources say. What makes you think he'll come back?” asked the other young man again.

“Trust me! If he wants to save his business he'll be back. So he can confront us. Besides, he and I have a personal score to settle. I'm sure he won't want to miss out on that,” replied the other young man.

It seemed that the night was going to be full of surprises. From this night many things would happen. A past would come into play, a vow once kept would be broken, vengeance from two sides will be remembered, and a common enemy might bring two people closer together. Everything just had to be played out accordingly.
