With no other choice and desperate to keep her team safe, Sakura was forced to take drastic measures. And here she was, waiting for her jet to ready, making sure she was ready with everything before she headed back to Dubai.

She told Kioshi that it was just a normal business trip and that he didn't need to tag alone. But the main reason was, she was scared that he would be attacked while she's not around. She had contacted Simon Lee of the Bell Crickets and asked for a few of his men to watch over her boyfriend, who was unaware of the fact.

Though Sakura knew that the Russian gang of mobsters wasn't aware of the value of him in her life, she didn't want to take any chances, knowing also that they could find out about him at any moment. Rin had returned to Japan under Sakura's order, though the right hand woman was hesitant.

"Ms. Sumiko, we're ready." Aiko calls to Sakura, who nods and follows the attendant into her private jet.

She sighs as she pulls he headphones over her ears, shoving her hands into her pockets, chuckling at the thought of her team.

You guys owe me big time...

~*****~

Since she needn't to wait for anybody or anything, Sakura arrived at Dubai within a few hours, landing with no problems. "Is my ride here yet?" Sakura asked Aiko, who was carrying her small luggage.

The brunette nodded with a small smile. "Yes, he's waiting right outside. Good luck, Ms. Sumiko." Aiko nodded to her, and the hacker flashed her a quick smile before hurrying off.

"Will she be okay?" Ed asked his girlfriend as he wrapped an arm around her, waving to their boss. "I hope so... Or Mr. Ichinomiya will be mad at us."

"We can deal with that," Ed shakes his head with a sigh as he began walking off with Aiko, "Our problem is that blonde from before. We still have no clue who it is."

"True."

~*****~

Changing into a dark grey shirt and a pair of dark wash jeans, Sakura slipped into a black leather jacket and a pair of combat boots. It was 10:00 at night, and though she arrived at noon today, she didn't want to cause a commotion so early, knowing the bidders, or Eisuke, would want to speak to her about everything.

Letting her raven hair cascade down her back, Sakura sighs as she grabs her keys from her night stand, trotting downstairs. All her maids and butlers were asleep and they were all unaware of her missing presence.

At least, she hoped so.

Quietly sneaking through the front door, Sakura avoided making any noise, meaning she had to scale the tall-ass gate of her manor to get to her motorcycle. She walked off a few meters with the vehicle before switching it on and driving away.

Since the streets were mostly empty, Sakura sped through them, only stopping to make sure nothing or no one was following her. Soon enough, she was standing at the base of the ever grand Tres Spades Hotel. 

She walked in through the doors, slipping into a hoodie before slipping her jacket back on over that. She pulled the hood of her hoodie over her head, concealing her identity as she kept her head down. The receptionist of the night at the desk greeted her, asking if she had a room or anything, but Sakura only raised a hand in acknowledgement, making the receptionist stare at her, stunned as she whipped out a penthouse card from her jacket pocket.

Though the hacker never visited, she still kept her penthouse card, knowing she was going to need it sometime. And she was right.

The elevator ascended to the top of the tall hotel, a soft 'ding' sounding as it opened. Down the hall, from her place in front of the elevator, Sakura could already hear the loud cheers of her old friends. She neared, about to open the door when the strong scent of booze filled her nose.

'Of course,' She thought to herself with a sigh. She opened the door carefully, and everything halted, attention turned towards the grand doors of the penthouse opening.

There, the ever present bidders sat, but there were less women than expected... Way less. And that shocked Sakura. But then again, most of the guys already had girlfriend, except for Ota and Soryu. Though, from what it appears, the mobster did have a girl, his mistress from before.

Jenna sat beside Eisuke, cards in hand as she stared at Sakura with a small smile, unlike her boyfriend who looked on with a confused frown. Paris was there, sitting on Baba's lap, head leaned on his shoulder with the thief's chin lightly resting atop her head.

Shay was sitting with Mamoru, the couple had cards in their hands, drinks in the other. Sakura waved at them, head still down slightly, concealing her face. She heard the click of a gun, and found Soryu with a gun pointed to her head, glaring at her.

She noticed the mobster's clothes had grown slightly loose, and he definitely got skinnier since the last she saw him. There were dark bags under his eyes, his skin paler than before. It was not a 'healthy' kind of pale, either.

The bleach blonde, who was sitting on the couch beside Soryu before, smirked at Sakura quickly before acting scared, cowering behind Sakura's ex.

Soryu didn't object, but still kept his focus on Sakura. And that made the hacker's heart clench slightly before she bit her lip, hurrying to do what she needed to do the most.

She pulled out the small message card in her pocket, head still down as she ignored the safety click of the gun coming undone. She glanced up a moment, meeting the mobster's midnight eyes, making his own widen as he met the familiar pair of dark chocolate ones.

But it couldn't be Sakura, he shook the thought of his head, knowing his ex wouldn't care to even turn back. "Who are you?" he asked as he caught sight of the card.

She pulled out a small box as well, and Soryu, threatened, shot at her feet. Luckily, the lounge was bulletproof and sound proof, meaning no one else heard that.

Even though the bullet was meant to hit the hacker at her foot, to make her fall and reveal her identity, the woman slid out the way, dodging it carefully. The mobster was stunned at the flawless dodge.

"Don't forget." a feminine voice suddenly sounded, and the bidders stared at the mystery girl as she placed the box and card down on the floor. "She's expecting you."

~*****~

The woman walked off casually, identity still unknown, though Paris, Shay and Jenna already knew it was her. The moment they saw that promise ring around her finger, they recognized the custom-made ring instantly, knowing it was Sakura.

But though the hacker knew they knew her identity, Sakura was confident they wouldn't say anything.

Eisuke moved forward and picked up the box and note.

Inside the box was a single button. Possibly from a jacket of blouse button up.

And the note:

Bidders, 

Hopefully, by now, you've figured out who I am, but if not, I pity you. I wish to speak to the Dragon tomorrow, I'll be showing up at his headquarters so be prepared. 

Don't take this lightly, I warn you, because now that they know I have connections with you, they're after your ass as well. I'm looking to deal with you, Dragon. 

I've already spoken to some of your men, and they know who I am, and when I'm coming. They're already on my side, but I need your support on this as well.

I can give you some... things, you need, for a lack of better term.

~*****~

There was no name, no fingerprints, either. The girls feigned innocence, saying they knew nothing about the mystery woman. Hikari, the bleach blonde from before, strutted through the lobby of the hotel.

A smirk was plastered on her face,knowing Soryu's possible meeting with Sakura could only, go down hill, judging from the point they left their relationship on. Sighing, contented, she grinned once more before entering her car and driving off, heading to the airport.

Nothing to worry about, dear Sakura, we'll make this as quick as possible. 

~*****~

A/N: 

Gomen, minna! I haven't uploaded the past days because of some projects at school, and whenever I finished my work, I'm too tired to type anything up.
