~Chapter 1- Corruption~

(Tokyo- at the basement of the Nanako Sun Plaza)

“So, any interesting news?” a shaded figure sat on a worn, moth-eaten couch reading the contents of a few office files asked nonchalantly.

“Yup. Someone by the name of Mazurka has been arrested by the police for stealing a priceless necklace. Accompanying him are the members of the ‘Cloaked Devils’, assassins from the underworld. They were found in the park badly beaten and tied up, people who have information on blah, blah, blah... It should be those pesky secret agents.” another person sitting on the other end of the couch was reading from a slightly coffee stained newspaper.

“As always. I suppose it’s those from ‘Fantasy Angel’. Mr. Mazurka was once an agent working there.” the first person shrugged.

“Hmm...” the second person rubbed his chin in thought, “So, any good jobs?”

“None so far...” the first person flipped through all the files, “Wait. Here’s a good one. ‘Kidnapping job: Kidnap the Tokyo Police Force’s Head Police officer’s (Chief Daidouji) daughter, Tomoyo Daidouji. Payment: $10 000. Call Mr. Kenji Shiro for inquiries.’ Interesting...” the first person grinned.

“Sounds good. I’ll call.” the second person made a reach for the phone on the counter top.

The phone rang for a few minutes before a woman picked it up.

“Hello, how may I help you?” the lady asked.

“I would like to talk to Mr. Kenji Shiro please. It’s strictly business.” the second person said in an authoritative voice.

“Oh. Okay. Please hold on.” the lady said and put the phone on hold.

The second person waited for a while, before the phone was picked up again.

“Hello, Mr. Kenji Shiro speaking, what is it?” a serene, smooth voice asked.

“Hello Mr. Shiro. I’m here with enquires about your little kidnapping offer.” the second person answered.

“Ah! Yes! So you receive my flier. You can start tomorrow. I’ll fax over the information about this Tomoyo Daidouji and Chief Daidouji.” Mr. Shiro said.

“Just a few questions Mr. Shiro. About our accommodation...” the first person hinted.

“Oh, that. Well, you’ll be living in this two storey house near Chief Daidouji’s house. Meals will be included.” Mr. Shiro confirmed.

“Good. And also. Why do you want to kidnap this Tomoyo Daidouji in the first place?” the second person asked nonchalantly.

“Well, it’s to ransom over this microchip that will enable me to control the world’s military forces.” Mr. Shiro sighed.

“Okay... Do you want us to get the microchip too?” the second person questioned.

“Would you?” Mr. Shiro asked curiously.

“We would. But with some extra cost.” the second person nodded.

“Okay. I’ll throw in an extra 10 000. Is that enough?” Mr. Shiro asked.

“More than enough.” the second person sighed in satisfaction.

“But I must warn you. I’ve had hired a few other people to do this job before. And they failed. They got a terrible punishment. You will get the same if you don’t finish the job.” Mr. Shiro warned.

“Sorry? Did I hear you wrongly? Not finish the job?” the second person chuckled, “Do you know who you’re hiring?”

“No...” Mr. Shiro shook his head.

“You’ve just engaged the services of the legendary ‘Twin Wolves’.” the second person smiled maliciously.

“Oh. So, I guess the job will be safely done in your hands.” Mr. Shiro mouth curved slightly.

“Of course.” the second person clicked his tongue against the top of his mouth and hung up.

“So?” the first person looked at him curiously.

“We got the job.” the first person grinned and flipped open his little schedule diary.

“Kidnapping job: Kidnap Tomoyo Daidouji and obtain powerful microchip. Payment: $20 000.” the first person jotted down while muttering.

“Hmm... Tomoyo Daidouji. I believe she’s in the same class as us.” the second person flipped through the information which Mr. Shiro had just faxed to them.

“That makes it a lot more easier.” the first person’s eyes lit up and his mouth curved slightly.

“Well, come on. We’ll be late for school.” the second person nudged the first person.

“Okay. Hold on. Let me get my sachet.” the first person sighed.

They both got up and went out of the door, into the blinding brightness of the bustling city, leaving behind their dark secret. They were the ‘Twin Wolves’, assassins of the underworld. But more commonly known as the Princes of the Arashi Junior High, Kou Li Leiyun and Li Syaoran.

(Tokyo International Airport)

“We’re here, so can you tell me what exactly our mission is now?” a pretty, young girl wearing a smart-casual outfit of pink with auburn long hair and emerald green eyes whined.

“Alright, alright,” her companion, a viridian eyed beauty with long black hair sighed, “our mission is to protect Tomoyo Daidouji, daughter of the Head of the Tokyo Police Force, Chief Daidouji.”

“What for?” Sakura asked puzzled.

“There has been some kidnapping attempts on her. The police believe that someone hired them to kidnap her in order to ransom her for a microchip which has been entrusted to Chief Daidouji.” Jadeite explained.

“What does the microchip do?” Sakura inquired.

“It will unable the user to control all the military forces in the world. Our mission is to protect Tomoyo Daidouji from getting kidnapped by those assassins from the underworld. But if they do, we will have to thwart their plans from getting that microchip.” Jadeite’s lips curved up by a fraction.

“But of course, they won’t even lay their hands on Tomoyo.” Sakura sniggered.

“Exactly.” Jadeite nodded in agreement as she made her way to the taxi stand and halted a cab.

“Now where are we going?” Sakura asked.

“School.” Jadeite answered a-matter-of-factly.

“Huh? What for?” Sakura scratched her head.

“Tomoyo does go to school you know, and we’re supposed to be to. And she’s in danger 24/7, so it’s only natural that we go to the same school as well.” Jadeite nonchalantly answered, while crawling into the cab.

“What about our luggage?” Sakura put her hands on her hips.

“They’ll be sent directly to Chief Daidouji’s house. We’ll be lodging there.” Jadeite rolled her eyes.

“Okay, fine.” Sakura hopped into the cab and slammed the door shut.

As the driver started the engine, Jadeite passed Sakura a uniform consisting of a light blue top and a dark blue short skirt, “This is our uniform. We’ll change when we reach there.”

“God. I haven’t worn this type of sailor-fuku outfits since in Tomodae.” Sakura groaned.

“Whatever. Just wear it. We’ve got a mission to complete.” Jadeite looked knowingly at Sakura.

The taxi zoomed off, into the busy streets of Tokyo. With him were the top two agents of ‘Fantasy Angel’, their destination: Arashi Junior High.

Author’s notes: There, done. This is sort of an introduction of the two main characters. Man, I feel that this chapter is really short. But, my friends say that I should make short chapters as I update quite regularly. So, here I am following their advice. Anyway, Sakura has long hair as I follow Wish-Chan’s description of Sakura. You should go read her story, New Trails. Its soooooo good! Anyway, remember to send your comments to cute_little_ichigo@hotmail.com!
