Once up on a time

Chapter 2

10:32 P.M. Clow Reed's mansion.

"Here, drink this." Syaoran placed a cup of warm milk on the table in front of Sakura.

"Thank you." Said Sakura sipping the milk.

"It's nothing." Replied Syaoran looking away tried to hide his blush.

Clow Reed smiled at his apprentice before turned his attention back to Sakura.

"Now, Sakura-san. Could you tell us why those "Dark Broker" were after you."

Placing the cup down Sakura looked up at Clow.

"They're after this thing." Sakura then reached to her neck then pulled off the thing that was hung around it and put it on the table.

From it's look everyone could tell that it was a ring. It seems to made from gold and there're letters of the language that he's never seen before inscribe on it. But the most interesting part was the jewel. It was a round yellow jewel that was reflect in the light. When Syaoran looked closer he saw an eye inside the jewel and to his horror it was seems to staring at him.

Syaoran quickly pulled his head back and looked at his master who stared at the ring then he turned to Sakura. "Where did you get this thing?"

"My father was an Archeologist. One day he was hired by a rich man to translate the letters on this ring with a very high paid. After weeks of study he finally understand the word that was inscribed on this ring and whatever it said has terrified him. One night he woke me up and dressed me up like a boy then we rushed out of the house as if we're running away from someone. We headed to the train station but before we could get to the station we founded three men blocking our way to the train station.

*Flash back*

"It was very bad to ran away from your work before it finish, isn't it Prof.Kinomoto." Said The man in the front who's wearing long black overcoat

"Who are you?" Asked Fujitaka.

"We're sent by your employer to take you and your work to him. You can call us 'The Dark Broker'.

Fujitaka secretly handed something to Sakura and whispered to her.

"Take this and ran when I told you. Don't let them have this thing. Go to Tomoeda town and find the Daidouji they'll help you."

Sakura nodded a little as tear start to form in her emerald green eye.

"GO!" Shouted Fujitaka as he swung his bag at the man in black coat but before he could hit him his arm was cough by the big bald man who standing next to him."

"That was a bad idea professor." As he said the herd of bugs was crawling down his arm.

Fujitaka shouted as the bugs was crawling on him. "Go Sakura!"

The brood were looked behind them and saw Sakura running toward the station.

"Not so fast girl." Said the man in gray suit who's wearing a gray hat that match his suit as he drew a revolver from his suit and pointed at Sakura.

But before he pull the trigger the man in the black coat stopped him.

"No, the client want both of them alive." He then turned to the bald man. "Send the bug after her."

The bald man nodded as he signaled his bugs to go after Sakura.

Sakura ran as fast as she could but she tripped then fell into the river nearby. The bugs were circling the spot where she fell but the stream was already carried her far away.

*End flash back*

"After I'm manage to get out of the water I walked along the street don't know where I am or what I should do then I had bumped into those drunker and then Syaoran-kun had saved me and brought me here."

The green eyes girl looked at the ring on the table. "They wanted this ring very much. Master Clow, if you know anything about it please tell me."

"Please master. I beg you too." Added Syaoran.

Clow Reed looked at the children then diverted his gaze to the ring.

"I'm not quite sure but if I wasn't mistake this ring is the magical item that had been lost for centuries. It was called "God's eye"."

"What does it do?" Asked Syaoran.

"I don't know for sure because all the record about it were destroyed but if those people want it so badly so there must be something important about it.

"And what are we going to do?" Asked Sakura.

"First, we'll have some rest then first thing in the morning we'll go to Tomoeda and try to find the Daidouji. They might know something about this thing.

Sakura looked down sadly. "I'm sorry to dragged you into trouble."

"Don't say that." Said Syaoran grabbing Sakura's shoulder. "It was us who choose to get into these mess. It had nothing to do with you. Don't you ever blame yourself on that again, get it?"

As he saw Sakura nodded Syaoran let out an satisfaction grin then he realized that his hands were still on Sakura shoulder he quickly pulled his hand out his face was like nothing but a rotten tomato. "S....sorry."

"It's nothing." Replied Sakura, cheered up a bit.

Clow Reed smiled at the kid but suddenly turned to the window as he sense something out side the shield's barrier. "We got companies."

********

Outside the shield the dark broker stood there observing the barrier.

"This force field was very powerful. No doubt that it must be made by a powerful sorcerer." Said the man in the gray suit.

"Can you do anything with it?" Asked his bald companion.

"Who do you think you talking to, Colossus? But I need assistance from you Spike." He turned to the man in the black coat.

"Do it." Replied the guy.

The man in the suit grinned as he took out his gun and shoot all six bullet out of his revolver. The bullet clashed against the shield then there's spark came out from each of them formed the six serrate star on the shield.

The man now known as Spike held out his hand which covered by black flame then suddenly he shot the black flame at the six serrate star. With the combine power of two Dark Brokers the shield was disintegrated.

"Now..." Said Spike. "Let's go get the ring and the girl."
