-Normal P.O.V.-

"Ugh my back hurts!!" Syaoran complained to Eriol. "I can't believe this…" --for the nth time.

"Don't worry man! You're not the only guy she was abele to beat up into a pulp as a matter of fact you should be proud you're the only one to last that long in one of Sakura's frenzies."

"Seriously?!...could you hand me that ice pack" Syaoran said.

"Yeah man no shit!"

"Well, how long did you last?"

"15 minutes"

"Ugh!! Remind me to never piss that woman off again, she kicks butt harder than Mei and that's saying A LOT."

1 hour ago

"Are you ready?" Sakura said to Syaoran as she went in the dojo. She was wearing a black sleeveless top that had something that says: "You better HIDE…or ELSE" on the bottom with white short shorts that showed her long milky legs, paired off with a simple black ballet flats.

"Ready enough for you. How 'bout you, are YOU ready?" Syaoran said as he stood up. He was wearing a plain white muscle shirt and black jogging pants with his foot bare.

"Pshh you don't have to ask me mind yourself pretty boy because after this fight your face wouldn't be as pretty anymore." Sakura retorted.

"Okay I want a clean fight, first to pin his or her opponent down wins or first to give up looses." Yelan said.

"1, 2, FIGHT"

And the fight between the two commenced.

They both started on going on circles looking directly at each other; amber clashing with emerald.

They seemed to be in their own world not minding the background noises and the cheers of Syaoran's relatives and some of his friends who have been notified of the said fight in that short amount of time. Unfortunately for Syaoran most people are rooting for Sakura to win. There were bets being made by the men on how long Syaoran could hold on because everyone of them seemed to be sure that Sakura would win despite Syaoran's abilities and advantages in weight and height.

"I say 30 mins." Eriol said.

"I say 25 mins." Kenji said.

"I say 40 mins." Jake said. He is one of Syaoran's friends as well as Sakura's. He owns a garage which he manages with Kenji.

"I go with Eriol" Takeshi said.

"Airheads you're all underestimating Syaoran he'd last a whole 50 mins." Mei said to which the other women just shook their heads at Meiling's boyishness as well as silently agreeing with her. She's the only one of the women who usually participates in bets such as this but most of the time she wins- call it female intuition.

Meanwhile…

Sakura chose to attack first by releasing a kick to the gut to which Syaoran blocked with his arm. Syaoran started to release a series of punches coupled with a bit of kicks which only became a futile attempt to catch Sakura off guard since she just blocked all attacks with ease.

Sakura delivered another kick which was caught by Syaoran, so now he is holding on to Sakura's ankle. The next move Sakura did was unexpected which led to Syaoran's incapability to keep his hold on Sakura's foot.

She twisted her torso bringing up her free left leg which safely rooted itself to Syaoran's gut making Syao loose his hold. Sakura used the kick to propel herself backwards doing an air flip then landing gracefully a few feet from Syaoran. She didn't waste any more time, so as soon as she landed she started to run up to Syaoran and released a right hook landing smack to Syaoran's jaw which 'caused him to stagger a bit.

Syaoran gained his balanced and immediately delivered a roundhouse kick which Sakura avoided by back-bending then she proceeded to do a back flip which enabled her feet to touch Syaoran's jaw. As she landed she placed her hand back on the floor and proceeded to make her legs do an 360 degree turn on the ground which hit Syaoran's feet making him loose his footing and fall on his butt.

Standing up, panting, Syaoran proceeded to throw a series of punches to Sakura which she easily dodged as if she was just dancing.

From the sidelines not much of details of the fight can be seen by the viewers because the two moved too quickly for them to see the details only recognizable to the two.

40 minutes have passed since they started and Syaoran has already accumulated a great amount of scratches and bruises were already visible. He was having a hard time catching his breath. At the same time Sakura was the exact opposite of Syaoran, she didn't have any scratches or bruises and she was still completely stable. She looked as if she was one of the viewers instead of a fighter because her breathing was nothing but regular and it looked as if she was getting bored of the fight.

Sakura was now on the edge of the mat while Syaoran was at the other end. She started running towards Syaoran then she did a rand off then a no hand twist gracefully lastly she did a front walk. When she landed in front of Syaoran was about to deliver a punch but instead she placed both of her hands on Syaoran's firm shoulders.

She sent him a smirk, which said it all- 'this would end it'- that was what she was conveying. With that she did a half jump then a full jump which propelled her legs and allowed her to do a handstand on Syaoran's shoulders.

All the while Syaoran stood there frozen unable to comprehend what was happening. He would have been prepared if she was merely sending punch but what she is doing right now is all new to him. He was astounded by her skills and he was just not prepared for a move like this. He underestimated her, he underestimated her greatly. She is far more skilled than Meiling is and he could only imagine what else she could do because it seems to him that this wasn't her all, it seemed as if what she's doing right now is nothing compared to how she truly fights.

While all these thoughts ran up to his head, one thing was in Sakura's mind 'this is for insulting my eating habits'. With that said she brought her feet back down. However, instead of landing on the floor she squeezed Syaoran's shoulders as she curved her body and planted her feet on his stomach crating a great impact which sent him down on the floor, while Sakura pushed herself off of him just in time so as not to drag herself down with him.

Syaoran could not stand up as due to that mood added to the foot Sakura had planted in his chest signifying her triumph.

'I can't believe she just beat me with out even much effort.'

'Hah! That will teach him not to mess with me.'

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and Sakura wins!!" Yelan announced.

"What'd I said? You might need some concealer for a few days though." Sakura said with a smirk at Syaoran who was still lying down on the ground.

"Fork it all in!!" Meiling said to Eriol, Kenji, Jake and Takeshi. "Mwahahahhaha you should learn never to bet against me!" Meiling said.

"Ughhh remind me why do I keep on betting against that girl again?" Kenji said.

"I can't seem to remember but as always it ends up like this… Meiling manages to win the beat us in a bet ending up with us bankrupt." Eriol said.

"Why the hell do we even bet that much money?" Jake asked rhetorically.

"I wonder the same thing too…" Takeshi said.

"To show that you guys are such morons who never learns when the good time to back out is because of you damn pointless manly pride. Just because your afraid of being beaten up by a girl, which was why all of you was beaten up by Sakura in a matter of 15 minutes tops without as much as exerting any effort in doing so." Meiling said as she collected the money. Men and their stupid pride, their stupid reasoning, their stupidity…ugh! I wonder why I even try to help them get over it… things you do for those you care of…but one day they'll encounter something that made them wish they didn't have pride at all specially Syaoran.

"Come on Saku we still have to some clothes fitting to do!!" Tomoyo said beckoning Sakura to her.

"Coming!!" Sakura replied.

"Hey you two wait for me!!" Meiling said running up to the two.

"See you guys whenever!!" Sakura called to her back.

And all of the women were gone either to watch Sakura or to attend to other business.

"Ugh I can't believe it! I lost for the first time and the worst part is I lost to a girl not to mention she wasn't even fighting near to half of what she could really do!" Syaoran said.

"I've been there man and I pity you but sorry to say I can't stick around." Kenji said.

"Dude, don't worry your not alone and remember she's just the first to beat you no one else can…but her." Takeshi said.

"Ugh that didn't help it only made me remember that I was beaten up by a girl!!" Syaoran complained.

"Sorry man…really…but unfortunately I have to go… so se yah later" Takeshi said.

"I need to go too…but word of advice: stop sulking it and forget it ever happened it makes it the more easier, at least it wasn't just any girl who won against you it was Sakura and everyone knows no guy has ever won against Sakura." Jake said.

"Gee that sounds so easy to do…NOT" Syaoran replied to him with an annoyed expression.

"Well in time you'll be able to realize the same thing and it wouldn't matter much…it worked for me… as well as a couple more people like our dear Eriol here." Jake said with a grin then he went out of the dojo.

With Sakura and Co.

"Ouch Moyo-chan that pricked my skin!!" Sakura said.

"Well it wouldn't have if you just kept still ne?" Tomoyo said. She was really annoyed now. Sakura have been fidgeting and she couldn't make the necessary adjustment to the dress Sakura would be wearing for her photo shoot tomorrow.

"Kura could you just hold still so that we could get out of here and do something else…I'm really getting bored."

"FINE!" Sakura huffed. "Just hurry up Moyo."

"Can't believe I'm still doing this here and to think I already escaped from this torture." Sakura muttered.

"There done!!" Tomoyo shouted.

"FINALLY!!" the two other girls exclaimed in happiness and excitement.

"So what are we going to do now?" Sakura said as she went in the walk in closet insider her room and changed into other clothes.

"We could go for a swim then drive around for old times sake and catch up with each other then when we get back we could go to the theatre room and watch a movie then we could all sleep in Saku's room for more catching up and stuff." Mei suggested.

"Yeah let's do that. I also want some ice cream with marsh mallows and sprinkles" Tomoyo said.

"Ditto!!" Sakura yelled from the closet.

"So now it's settled we'd lay back and relax so because tomorrow is gonna be sooo hectic especially for you Saku" Mei said.

"That reminds me wouldn't you be working in the garage after our photo shoot?" Tomoyo said. The garage is where the cars were maintained, upgraded and all that stuff. It is also a part time auto shop that is famous in Hong Kong for their superb services. Right now, the garage is out of service because they are preparing for the upcoming race tournament and is currently housing the Green Wolves.

"Yeah" Sakura answered. "Mei would be with me."

"Ohh I wanna go too." Tomoyo said.

"Yeah whatever so let's go!" Sakura said as she went out of the closet.

The next day

"Saku! Get up! We got a photo shoot to do!!" Tomoyo said, well more like shouted.

Klam. Bam. Sham. Crash.Boog. Splash.

"Arhhh!! SHIT!"

Sakura was up and at 'em, again, hurrying to do her daily routine.

After 20 minutes she emerged refreshed but grumpy looking for her morning coffee…

And lo and behold after a cup of coffee she was as bubbly as she can be.

The morning went on as she did her photo shoot with Tomoyo and Mei. After the shoot they ate lunch and then went to the garage.

Sakura took her bicycle wearing a cross between a biker and a repairman outfit— black leather jacket over white wife beater, loose green cargo pants that reached halfway between her feet and knees the typed that ballooned and looked hip and a pair of bulky sneakers that she designed herself through the use of the ever permanent marker.

She took off with her bike followed by Mei and Tomoyo in Mei's yellow Saleen S5 Raptor.

As they arrived in the garage they were greeted by Kenji's deep and cheerful voice.

"How nice of you girls to drop by I didn't know you missed me so much"

"Yeah right." Mei said.

"Shut up." Tomoyo said.

"Whatever Loser" well we know where that came from. "We're here to grace you guys with our presence and help you speed things up a bit for the preparations for the upcoming race tournament."

"I'm glad you haven't forgotten about that. Go on and do what you girls do best, I'll call on the others so that you can tell them what to do. You told me you have a new thing."

"Yeah." Sakura said.

A few minutes later every one was gathered and greeted Sakura as they welcomed back the presence of the three girls that they missed.

"Okay we three have created a new strategy and discovered how to make our engines faster. So we're gonna split the house a bit. The researchers go with Tomoyo for a briefing on what we have planned. Half of the mechanics go with Mei and help her with re-checking all the cars and inventory and all that shiz. The rest you'll be with me as I tell you about the new engine and after that work on installing it on at least a quarter of the cars. Okay? Okay! Disperse."

Half an hour later everyone was discussing and the whole garage was buzzing with people going around and discussing stuff.

A few hours of buzzing and everyone was working. Sakura has explained everything and those under her are now working on three cars simultaneously. Sakura herself was doing the upgrading in one of the top priority car which belonged to Syaoran, the leader of Green Wolves.

A car purring nearby was heard and shutting of doors. The door was opened and 2 set of footsteps came in.

"So what's happening?" a smooth male voice said.

FIRST: Sorry if it took me long to Update and as usual I have excuses and it's not just because I'm lazing around…well it's partly it but not the whole thing. Whoever will tell you that third year high school life is easy tell them they're a liar and that they have never been to third year high school 'cause seriously it is so hectic and all that that I don't even get time to rest. Another reason is that I'm having a small block in which I can't find an inspiration that would motivate me to write faster it's not being lazy it's the fact that I can't find anything that will give me a clue as to how the story should be developed.

SECOND: I just want to say that it would be a while before I would be able to upload the next chapter because I'll be focusing on uploading a couple of chapters for my other fic 'cause it's been a waaayyy long time since the last time I uploaded for that fic.

THIRD: you guys are ever so welcome to give me suggestions on how you want the fic to go or what scenes you would like stuff like that and maybe I could get something from your input.

LASTLY: please Review!! And thanks for reading this chapter!!
