Chapter 1:

Defiance

"Li! Wait up!" Li froze as Meilin ran down the street, diving on top of him and sending them both flying down the remainder of the road between them and the large school.

"Li! You're so cruel! You didn't wait for me!" Meilin cried, grabbing on to his neck dramatically.

"You were asleep." Li muttered, earning a smile from Meilin, who was busy dusting herself off.

"You are so thoughtful!" She knocked him over again before he even had the chance to pick up his bag.


MEANWHILE, IN CLASS

"Morning, Sakura." Madison smiled as she entered the otherwise empty classroom.

Most of the class were off on a trip to the ice-rink, but the deadline for the permission slips had just happened to be the one day Sakura was off sick. Which, obviously meant Madison hadn't wanted to go, either.

"Mayber we'll be the only ones here today and they'll forget about us so we can go home? Or shopping?" Sakura gushed, ever-hopeful of missing math class for a day.

Her face fell, however, as Meilin and Li walked in.

"What are you doing here?" Meilin was in front of Sakura and ready for a battle before she'd even taken off her coat.

"I...I missed the cut off for the permission slips..." She braced herself for Meilin's input.

"And Madison couldn't cope without you for one day?" She smiled sadistically.

"About as much as you can survive without that kid!" Came Kero's input, as always, from Sakura's bag.

"No one asked you!" Meilin yelled in the direction of the voices' owner.

Kero flew out of the bag, glaring insanely at Meilin, who was as collected as ever.

"No one asked you, either! Everything was fine until you stuck your nose in!" Kero's cheeks were now the size of two gumballs, and his head now looked as though it wanted to expload.

"Careful, don't lose any stuffing!"

And, at that exact moment, Ms. McKenzie walked in, causing a very pissed off Kero to slump back into Sakura's bag rather dejectedly, and Meilin to smirk in his direction triumphantly.

"Oh! I didn't think any of you were in today!" She smiled, and Meilin and Li climbed into their desks.

"Well, I have to finish grading this quiz...so...are you ok with me going into the staff room to do it?" Sakura beamed excitedly. No maths!

"No, Miss McKenzie!" Came the cheery chorus from Madison, Meilin and Sakura, whilst Li just glared at the ever-smiling teacher.

"Hmmm...ok...Ja ne!" And she was gone, giving Meilin the opportunity to jump up andbounce over to Li's desk.

"Li, about Saturd..."

"Are you two going to the winter festival this weekend?" Madison came out of nowhere, and Meilin glared at hersnatching the blue paper Madison was offering her.

"What festival?" Meilin glared at Madison suspiciously, and for a moment, her smile faltered, but she soon regained her momentum, however, and geustured to the paper she'd handed her.

Tomodea Winter Festival

Saturday the14th of December

Tomodea City Square

Sakura turned back in her seat, beaming at Li as usual.

"Are you guys going to go?" Meilin's veins throbbed seeing Sakura being this friendly to her Li. It was all she could do not to snatch Li away from the Oh-So-Sweet Sakura's clutches.

"N-no...I have to go visit my mother...she's in Tokyo this weekend on business..." Meilin muttered, trying to control her anger and failing miserably.

"Meilin, are you ok? You look a little red..."

Sakura's face oozed with concern, and Meilin longed to scream at her, tell her to stay away. But Li's steady gaze stopped her. He knew her too well. And he was warning her off. But the real question was : why?

She looked at him, trying to read his face for answers. Their gazes met for a moment, and he turned away, as though denying her thoughts. Her accusations.

Then, Madison, much to Meilin's annoyment, went and blew everything out of proportion.

And Meilin could've, would've killed her, if only there weren't witnesses.

"So, Li, are you coming?" It was like a shockwave, and everyone was waiting for Meilin.

Staring at her.

She merely turned to Li, waiting to see if he'd say anything.

And he did.

"Well...Meilin's..."

"In Tokyo..." Madison finished, making it sound completely irrelevant. But it wasn't. Not to Meilin.

"Y-yeah...b..but..." Li tried desperatly to string a convincing sentence together, but failed miserably.

"Do you need Meilin's permission?" Sakura was staring at the scene intently, now, as though it was her favourite soap opera.

"Well, do you or do you not need her permission to go out when she's not even in the city?" Madison looked from Li to Meilin, who had the distinct feeling she was planning something.

Madison, of course, noticed this.

Sorry Meilin, I know you love him. But you're interfering with their destinys, and I won't let you get in the way of their love.

Li cast a nervous glance in Sakura's direction before answering, and Meilin was ready to burst.

"N-no...of course not!" Li said, rather defiantly, and Madison smiled, an air of triumph around her.

"Great. See you Saturday." And she walked off, with Sakura in tow, sitting at one of the computers, muttering about uploading Sakura's 'movie' to her blog.

"Hoeeeee..." Sakura cried, and that was exactly how Li felt at that precise moment.

He was gonna regret this.

That was the last thing he thought as Meilin's fist made contact.
