Chapter 2
Greeting
Sakura was almost done with her night grocery shopping. Every friday was grocery shopping day.
She just needed on last thing. Chocolate syrup.
She got to the lane and started to look for her beloved syrup when someone slammed his/her cart into her foot.
Sakura groaned. Her foot throbbed with pain. She looked at the one who hit her.
Well glory be. It was a woman. A woman who could have that much power.
The young woman gasped. "Oh my God. I'm so sorry. Are you okay? I'm so sorry. I was in a hurry and I didnt see you, well your foot, and, can you get up?"
Sakura observed the girl. Black raven hair. And the strangest shade of red in her eyes.
She smiled al little. "I'm fine. And yes, I can get up."
The woman stared into Sakura's green eyes. Her eyes widened.
"Sakura Kinomoto?"
Now it was Sakura's eyes' time to widen.
"Meiling Li."
Both women squealed. The two have been friends for a long time.
Meiling was the first to talk from all the hugging and squeezing.
"Are you still working for my idiot cousin? How's your life here?"
"Yeah. Your cousin is still the same. Life is good." Sakura said, smiling.
"We HAVE to make him change. He's gonna die, working twenty four hours, all around the clock."
Sakura sighed. "I doubt he will. Four years of being assistant, he hasnt changed a bit. Not at all."
"That long, huh? Well, he'll change, don't worry." The ruby-eyed girl said, with humor glinting in her eyes.
"How are you so sure?" The emerald-orbed beauty shot back, with arrogance reflecting in her eyes.
Four years with Syaoran. He didnt change. What made Meiling so sure he would change now?
"I have something up my sleeve. Meiling Li never quits."
"That's obvious." Sakura muttered under her breath, remembering her school days with Meiling.
"Anyway, Sakura, Got to go. Someone's waiting for me inside the car I rented. See you later then." Meiling said, going to the cashier.
"Oh okay. I'm really happy even if it is just a short reunion. Let's talk more when you're not busy. See you soon!"
Meiling got the plastic bag from the cashier and waved a goodbye.
When she got out of the grocery store, she mumbled, "Sooner than you think, Sakura. Sooner than you think."
