Longing – Prologue

No one spoke. Only the low whirring of the plane engine broke the silence. Mei Ling looked at her cousin. There was irritation in his eyes, sad and anger. His chestnut brown hair, messy as it always was. He was playing with a silver penknife in his hands. Mei Ling brushed her hair with her hand, blankly staring at him, thinking deeply.

'He may not look like he has changed for the past two years, but he did. He changed a lot... a whole lot...' thought Mei Ling. 'I wonder if... Sakura...' Mei Ling's mind drifted somewhere else. Xiao Lang noticed his cousin staring at him as he shoved his penknife back inside his pocket.

"What is it, Mei Ling?" His voice was smooth, yet cold. He is as he was before he met her... the Cardcaptor, no wait, the Cardmistress. Mei Ling could feel his chocolate brown eyes pierce her and a shiver crossed down her spine.

"I-It's nothing, nothing at all!" She waved her hands frantically, and then scratched the back of her head. "I was only wondering when we were going to---" Her sentence never finished as a loud explosion was heard. The two felt their bodies tossed around like rag dolls, flying in nothing, then suddenly their sights went darker and darker, until everything faded into black.

Xiao Lang woke to the blurry blue sky. He couldn't move, couldn't feel a thing. His eyes traveled to the crackling sound of fire. His head whirred. 'What happened...?' And it is when fear flowed through his veins. 'The plane! Mei Ling! MEI LING!' He wanted to shout, but his throat was parched and no sound would come out even as he forced himself. His head screamed for him. The smoke was suffocating him, and slowly, brought him back to darkness.


Author's Note: I know, it's a short chapter. Well, prologues are supposed to be short, right? Um, so, yeah. Please read and review if you have the time!
