Syaoran's Problem
I no own CLAMP, so you no sue! (Seriously)
Chapter Two: The Arrival
"Why the hell did I go along with this?" Syaoran muttered as he balanced five travel bags in his arms, one which was Syaoran's, the other four belonging to Meilin. Meilin didn't know the difference between packing for a trip to the moon or a 5 day trip. "Oh hush, we're going to have a great time!" Meilin smiled cheerfully and walked ahead of the scowling boy, holding both passports in hand. Syaoran just shook his head and picked up his pace to catch up with her, nearly knocking into a few people on his way over. Syaoran dropped off their luggage at the ramp and looked around for Meilin. Meilin stood in front of one of the many viewing windows throughout the Hong Kong airport, watching a plane come in with mild interest. She really wasn't interested in it at all, but her mind was busy thinking about other things, "Why are you so excited about the trip to Tokyo? There's nothing for you there." A scowling voice came up behind Meilin. Meilin could only smile, and Syaoran could see the reflection of her face. (You don't have to fake it Syaoran. I know you want to go.) Meilin thought to herself for a moment.
Meilin perked up after a long moment of silence and turned to her cousin, "I'll finally be able to see all of my friends from Tomoeda. Who knows, maybe you'll be able to see Kinomoto again, and confront her." Meilin blurted out, leaving Syaoran surprised. Syaoran's left ear twitched for a moment and he gave her a steamed look. "I do not care if I ever see Kinomoto again." Syaoran scowled and walked off ahead of her to the ramp. Meilin just stood behind and gave an angelic smile. (. Syaoran does not know that Tomoyo and I plan to see him and Sakura together again. By the end of this trip, Syaoran and Sakura will be a couple again, and everyone will be happy.) Meilin looked off with her mind filled with the thought, Syaoran coming back a minute later to drag her onto the plane, "Baka! We're going to be late if you keep sitting there and drooling all over yourself." Syaoran growled and continued to drag her through the ramp. (It's funny how he's the one pulling me on here. He was the one who didn't want to come in the first place.) Meilin rolled her eyes at her thoughts and continued on board.
Meilin shot Syaoran a dirty look and rubbed her arm painfully. "Who was the one who wanted to come on this trip?" She asked him, knowing that would be the best way to light Syaoran's fuse. Syaoran held his head up pride fully and took a seat away from the window, Meilin following him to his seat and buckling tight. (Syaoran hates flying .) Meilin thought to herself as Syaoran buckled himself in. (.That's why I took the window.) She smiled off at him, giving him an "I know something you don't know" look. Syaoran turned away from the look and stared forward with a grouchy expression and crossed his arms over his chest, a passing cart ramming into the back of his elbow.

Syaoran awoke slowly in his seat, looking down the row ahead of him at the sleeping passengers, (This couldn't get any worse. Kinomoto is going to be at Tomoyo's birthday party, I'm sure of it. .What if she has a boyfriend and he is there, too? Will he. laugh at me?) Syaoran looked on with a heartbroken look. The idea of Sakura being with another boy really made him depressed. Syaoran slowly lean back into his seat and shut his eyes once more, trying to go back to sleep. The idea was really eating away at him. ". If worst comes to worst, I can pretend that Meilin is my fiancé again." Syaoran mumbled out quietly to himself, tire overfilling him once more.
Meilin turned her head slowly to the side towards the sleeping Syaoran, (He has no idea what he's in for. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he finds Kinomoto at the airport with Tomoyo.) Smiled Meilin. Meilin too, was just as eager as Tomoyo to hook the two back up once more. Perhaps since the both of them had aged, they would be able to hold the relationship together more strongly. They were just kids anyway when they hooked up. It's not like they really knew what love was.
Meilin relaxed in her seat and lowered her lashes in deep thought. She remembered the way she used to obsess over Syaoran when they were kids and chasing after Clow Cards together. She remembered times when she would stick up for Syaoran, or times that she would fight with Clow Cards. Her fondest memory being the time when Syaoran tried his hardest to keep her warm, when the Freeze Card was roaming around the ice rink. That was all in the past though. Now they had grown up, and there were no more Clow Cards to capture. It was all just a fond memory in the past. Meilin turned her head once again to the sleeping Syaoran and gave a thoughtful smile, before looking away, "Sometimes I miss loving you." She whispered and shut her eyes slowly, drifting off to sleep.
