Chapter 7: The Vision of Death

"Touya's here?" Tomoyo asked as she looked where Sakura was heading but only saw Vince.

"Sakura, why on earth you call Vince Onni-chan?" Tomoyo asked with a confused look.

"From today onwards, I have two Onni-chan and why are you late?" Sakura said as she pointed at her watch, which was shown at 9.30. Vince apologized with his pleading violet eyes.

"Okay then. I have a new cousin and a kokoi one," Tomoyo said.

"At least he will not get killed by Syaoran," Eriol said to himself.

"When are you going to Tokyo?" Tomoyo asked.

"After I finish my thesis. I'll fly straight to meet you girls," Vince answered with a smile.

"See ya soon and Sakura, Tomoyo, let's go. It's getting late," Tomoyo said.

"Ja, Onni-chan. I'm hoping to see you as soon as possible," Sakura said and kissed his cheeks.

"Ja, my dear sister," Vince said and hugged Sakura tightly. Sakura smiled and waved at him as she disappeared from his view.

"I lost a brother and now I get a sister. Can I handle it?" Vince said to himself as he walked out from the airport.

Syaoran

"Li-sama, Li Xiao Lu-san in on the line," a woman's voice said.

"I'm on it, Nami," Syaoran said.

"Yes, uncle. What's up?" Syaoran asked with a solemn voice.

"Don't speak with that harsh tone. Come to my office, please," Xiao Lu said and laughed.

"What the heck? Why is he so happy when I'm losing everything I ever wanted in my life? His daughters are more considerate," Syaoran asked himself and went into Xiao Lu's office. A man with black hair and amber eyes looked at Syaoran with a smile. Fear fell upon him when he saw his smile on his uncle's face.

"I've heard about my future niece. How is she? Wait, how are you going to know she's fine or not when you're not even with her?" Xiao Lu hit his head as Syaoran glared at him.

"Stop making fun of my love life," Syaoran clenched his teeth.

"I'm sorry but Yelan asks me to take care of her son here," Xiao Lu said.

"I don't need anyone to take care of me. I'm 18, for God's sake," Syaoran rolled his eyes.

"Let her go," Xiao Lu looked at Syaoran who stared at him in disbelief.

"I'm so not going to say that to you but the elders will and I'm sure of it. Ju Lynn is the problem here," Xiao Lu smiled when he saw that expression on his face.

"Don't say that name. I would cheerfully throttle her now," Syaoran rubbed his chin.

"First Sheifa, then Mei Xi and now you. There's something very wrong with this girl," Xiao Lu looked at Syaoran's eyes, which were looking at Xiao Lu blankly.

"Xiao Lang, are you listening to me?" Xiao Lu asked.

"What? What were you saying just now?" Syaoran asked as he was so caught in his train of memories.

"Well, I just thought you might need a rest. You're working too hard and for the future leader of Li clan, that's very important," Xiao Lu smiled.

"No, I don't think I will be needing a rest right now," Syaoran explained.

""As you wish then but you now what? You look like a very desperate man but … you are a desperate man," Xiao Lu laughed.

"You're freaking me out, uncle," Syaoran whispered and left the room.

"Where on earth can she be?" Syaoran mumbled. He dragged his feet back to his office, ignoring his secretary, who tried to remind him about an important meeting.

"Nami, what's wrong with your boss? He looks like a desperate prince charming who lost his beautiful princess," a girl with mousy hair said as she twirled around in front of Nami.

"Azusa, stop being an immature young lady and stop talking about fairytale," Nami said.

"But your boss is so moody since he came back from Hong Kong. You should know what's wrong?" Azusa asked.

"And stop all your gossip, young lady," Nami said as she quickly walked and stopped in front of Syaoran's door when Azusa was following her to get her answer.

"Don't you have anything else to do? Li pays you to do work, not stalking their private life," Nami said annoyingly.

"Okay, I got the answer. You don't know, right?" Azusa asked again but Nami just glared at her, which told Azusa that she better left before something bad happen. Nami knocked Syaoran's door and walked into the office after Azusa left.

"Li-sama, you have a meeting with Yamazaki-san for the renewal contract right about another five minutes," the woman in her early thirties with her ginger hair in a bun said as she looked at the miserable Syaoran.

"Li-sama, may I sit down?" Nami asked. Syaoran looked at her and nodded.

"You don't look like yourself today. Is there something wrong? I'm not being nosy," Nami explained as Syaoran stared at her, "There's too much pressure on my shoulders and I better meet Yamazaki."

Syaoran left and went straight to the meeting room. He waited for Takashi to arrive.

"Hey, handsome guy. Why do you have that long face?" Takashi said as he came in.

"As if you don't know. Do you know where Sakura is?" Syaoran asked.

"Sorry, Chiharu won't tell me a thing. She made a promise," Takashi explained with a sad face.

"How about Naoko and Rika?" Syaoran asked with a hopeful look as Takashi shook his head, shattering Syaoran's hope.

"They said an absolute promise must be kept whatever happens," Takashi answered.

"But you know what? Long long ago…" Takashi was about to start his lie when Syaoran said angrily, "Don't you even start. I'm not in a good mood to listen to your nonsense right now. Let just finish this contract and then we can meet your wife, Naoko and Rika."

Narita Airport (11 p.m.)

"Mei Xi, I'm going to call daddy and I'm using the phone booth, okay?" Mei Xin said and looked at Mei Xi's sleepy face.

"What's wrong with your phone?" Mei Xi asked suspiciously.

"Just making a surprise for daddy," Mei Xin explained.

"But he'd already knew that we're here," Mei Xi pointed at Xiao Lu who was smiling at them.

"Daddy!" Mei Xin screamed.

"Hi, my twins," Xiao Lu greeted and hugged Mei Xin.

"Daddy, I'm hungry. Let's find something to eat first," Mei Xin pulled her father.

"Aren't you going with us?" Xiao Lu asked as Mei Xi just stood there, shaking her head.

"I'm going to the toilet," Mei Xi explained and left, leaving her father clueless.

"What's wrong with your sister?" Xiao Lu asked when they had bought some sandwiches, which were eagerly eaten by Mei Xin.

"There's nothing wrong with her and don't worry, she's always like that. No one knows what she's thinking about," Mei Xin explained with a smile.

Toilet

"I'll buy you a cup of tea, okay?" a girl with black wavy hair said and went out.

"Arigatou, Tomoyo-chan," another girl with honey brown hair said.

"Oops! Gomen," the girl apologized as she bumped into Mei Xi.

Vision

"You'll die. Right about NOW!" a man with ebony hair and coal-black eyes laughed as he thrust a sword into the girl's chest.

"Sakura, onegai. Don't die! I need you!" Mei Xi saw Syaoran was hugging the girl's dead body.

End Vision

"Are you all right? Gomen," the girl said with a worried look.

"I'm alright. It's okay," Mei Xi assured.

"She's Sakura Kinomoto but what is she doing here?" Mei Xi asked herself and looked at Sakura with a smile. Sakura smiled back and went out after Tomoyo called her.

"I bumped into someone again," Sakura said and chuckled.

"And this time, male cousin or female cousin?" Tomoyo teased.

"Tomoyo… female but when I bumped into her, her eyes was so blank as if she went into another world," Sakura explained.

"Maybe she was thinking about someone important," Tomoyo said and gave Sakura her tea. Sakura shrugged her shoulders and smiled. On the spur of the moment, she totally forgot about Mei Xi.

"I'll send you home and you better have a nice good sleep. You'll need it for tomorrow," Tomoyo explained while Sakura nodded in agreement.

Sakura's House

"I miss you, Otou-san but not you, Onni-chan," Sakura said with an evil smile on her beautiful face. Fujitaka smiled.

"Hey, what is that supposed to mean, kaijau?" Touya asked with an annoying face.

"Because I've got a better brother who will never call me monster or way too overprotective to me," Sakura answered.

"Tell me another," Touya said as he watched the T.V.

"I'm telling you the truth. His name is Vince Zhao and Otou-san knows him," Sakura looked at her father.

"Vince? How is he now? He went to England to further his studies but what is he doing in Paris?" Fujitaka said.

"He's fine. He's doing his thesis for PhD," Sakura answered.

"I hope he got through with his sadness," Fujitaka mumbled but was still heard by Sakura.

"Got through his sadness? What happened to him?" Sakura asked.

"I can't tell you. It's Vince's secret," Fujitaka said.

"Please… Onegai…" Sakura pleaded.

"Oh! Now I remember him! That guy with violet eyes," Touya said as Sakura nodded her head.

"Please, Otou-san…" Sakura pleaded again.

"I'm sorry, Sakura. I have to keep it just like I'm keeping yours from Syaoran," Fujitaka explained.

"Syaoran came here?" Sakura asked with a shocked look. Fujitaka nodded his head.

"Did you tell him anything?" Sakura asked and Fujitaka slowly shook his head. Sakura sighed deeply with relief.

"Did he tell you anything?" Sakura asked with an anxious look.

"No but he was shocked to know that you've left him," Fujitaka said.

"Well, he deserves it," Touya butted in while Sakura glared at him.

"Young lady, you better go to sleep now. You have to be in Tokyo for your registration tomorrow," Fujitaka said with a smile. Sakura nodded as she stuck her tongue out at Touya and ran into her room.

"Sakura, where's my presents?" Kero asked as he flew around Sakura. Sakura took out a box of cookies and chocolates.

"Here you are. Enjoy yourself. I'll take my bath and then go to sleep," Sakura said and went into the bathroom. Kero started to eat and ignored what Sakura had said.

Xiao Lu's House

"Would you like a drink, Mei Xi, Mei Xin?" Xiao Lu asked but both of them shook their heads.

"Are you sleeping here tonight?" Xiao Lu asked but this time Mei Xi shook her head while Mei Xin nodded her head.

"I'm going to meet Xiao Lang and then, I'll go to my house," Mei Xi explained.

"As you wish but before that, can we have a talk?" Xiao Lu looked at Mei Xi's calm face.

"Go on with your talk. I'm going to my room," Mei Xin yawned and walked lazily into her room.

"What is wrong with you? I know you hate me but don't do this to others," Xiao Lu asked.

"There's nothing wrong with me. I'm still Li Mei Xi that you knew," Mei Xi uttered. Xiao Lu sighed and looked at Mei Xi, who started to feel uneasy.

"Stop being so cold with others and you don't have any friend except Aimi," Xiao Lu said.

"Because I'll only hurt and sadden them sooner or later," Mei Xi turned her eyes to the window.

"You won't hurt or sadden them and by the way, what is the thing that you do will hurt and sadden them? You're a nice lady," Xiao Lu argued while Mei Xi sighed hard.

"You don't understand," Mei Xi said.

"Make me understand," Xiao Lu said with his pleading eyes.

"You can't understand it. You will never do. Only mum understands it," Mei Xi said and walked away with tears swimming in her eyes. She got into her car after putting her bags into the boot and left the house.

Mei Xi

"What's wrong for me to be cold? This is what I am. Why everyone wants me to be friendly and amiable?" Mei Xi said to herself. She stopped in front of a market and bought a few tins of coke. Suddenly, her phone rang.

"Aimi, what's up?" Mei Xi said solemnly.

"What's up? I called your father and he told me everything," Aimi explained while Mei Xi sighed.

"Are you coming home or meeting Syaoran first?" Aimi asked.

"I'm coming home. My mood isn't very good to meet people," Mei Xi answered as she tried to concentrate on the road.

"We're going to have a LONG talk, Mei Xi," Aimi said and hung up.

Twins' House

Mei Xi parked her car and walked around in front of the house. Mei Xi looked at the door and was reluctant to push the bell. She sat in front of the door and tried to think.

"What am I going to tell her? I know I'm wrong or… I really didn't mean it or maybe…" Mei Xi said to herself.

"You can stop thinking now. Get inside, Li Mei Xi," a young lady with caramel hair and angry scarlet eyes said.

"How did you know I was outside?" Mei Xi asked.

"Duh, I saw you, of course. I don't have any abilities like you do," Aimi answered.

"Now sit! I have questions for you. Why the hell did you do something so rude to your dad? He is showing his concern if you didn't notice," Aimi said as she plonked herself on the couch.

"I'm sorry, okay. I didn't mean it," Mei Xi explained.

"You don't need to apologize to me. You are not doing anything wrong to me. Your dad is right. Why are you so cold with people? Are you happy to do this?" Aimi asked angrily.

"Yes! I'm happy! I'm happy that I won't hurt too many people when I die! Huh… People take different roads seeking happiness. Just because they're not on your road, doesn't mean they've gotten lost," Mei Xi said as she looked at Aimi's sad face.

"Okay, do what you wish. If my mother didn't tell me about the curse, I won't know it for the rest of my life," Aimi said and tried to smile as she stood up to on the TV.

"So, how was your trip?" Aimi asked.

"Just fine but Xiao Lang got into a problem," Mei Xi answered.

"What kind of problem?" Aimi asked with an anxious loo.

"Girls problem," Mei Xi answered shortly.

"Who's involved?" Aimi asked as she looked at Mei Xi who was watching the movie shown on the TV.

"Xiao Lang, Sakura and Ju Lynn," Mei Xi explained.

"Hey, how did Ju Lynn got into the picture?" Aimi asked with a shocked look.

"She called Xiao Lang but Sakura answered it and she told Sakura that she is Xiao Lang's fiancée. Then, like in a movie, they broke up," Mei Xi said.

"Such a bloody bad girl," Aimi said with an angry voice as Mei Xi nodded.

"Have you got any vision and stomach ache?" Aimi asked worriedly as Mei Xi nodded her head again.

"I got a stomach ache in my apartment and I just got a vision when I bumped into Sakura," Mei Xi explained.

"You know Sakura?" Aimi asked suspiciously.

"I just knew her at the airport when I got the vision," Mei Xi answered.

"Well, what kind of vision? Tell me," Aimi asked when Mei Xi looked hesitate to tell her.

"Death. Sakura is going to be killed," Mei Xi answered.

"We need to help her out. We need to save her relationship and life," Aimi said.

"But how?" Mei Xi asked.

"I don't really know," Aimi said with a hard look in her eyes.
