Chapter Eleven: The Recall

"I know one that is open" She smirked lightly.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Really?" Syaoran looked at her. He hoped it would be a good job.

"How well do you sing?"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"One. Two. Three." Eriol counted.

"And go" Tomoyo pushed the record button. Li Syaoran was currently at the microphone in the recording room with Sakura, he was auditioning to see if he could be Sakura's back-up or made in a duet person.

(Sakura)

When you smile

My whole world turns bright

You are my light

My only

(Syaoran)

And when we touch

I get this feeling

As if we have loved this much

For a long long time

(Sakura and Syaoran)

When I look at you

All my pain goes away

Won't you stay with me tonight…..

"Suteki desu wa!" Tomoyo clapped her hands together while Eriol just smiled at the two.

"Wow, that was really good Syaoran!" Sakura smiled to him. He just blushed in response.

"A-aa"

"Want to go out for some coffee?" Sakura asked him.

"What about your fans?"

"Don't worry I have my bodyguards" She smiled.

So the two were busy talking and walking while people were looking at them, trying to get near them but no avail with the bodyguards around.

*~*~*~*~*~*

A girl with black hair into two buns on the side of her head was walking down the sidewalk. She was unfamiliar with Japan knowing she is from a different country. She has been here before but she still hasn't gotten all the places down yet.

That was until she was someone familiar surrounded by many bodyguards. She has heard of the famous cherry blossom but she didn't know it was her! And who was with her? She looked at little closer…SYAORAN!?

*~*~*~*~*~*~

The two lovebirds were walking down the street until they heard a screech which Syaoran recognized in a heartbeat. It was the only screech that could make him cringe and try to hide from.

"SYAORAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The Chinese teen known as Meiling ran up to. She was indulged by bodyguards.

"Don't worry I know her" Sakura stated to them.

"SAKURA!" She screamed in question.

"MEILING-CHAN!" They both screeched and hugged each other with no tomorrow. Syaoran just sighed at the two bubbly girls as they walked into the coffee shop.

"My Sakura, I didn't know you were a celebrity, well I heard of you, but I didn't know that it was you, my you are kawaii!" Meiling smiled to her.

"Hai"

"Wait, how do you two know each other?" Syaoran asked confused

"Well remember when we came to Japan for the first time?" Meiling told him.

*~Flashback*~

"Wow, isn't this a nice place Xiao-Lang!?" Little Meiling squealed as she ran around in the cherry blossoms, her beautiful black hair flowing behind her.

"Ah" He answered plainly.

She ran and ran while Syaoran just watched. He decided to go back for a while so he left. (That is why he never saw Sakura ^_^)

Then BUMP!

"Gomen nasai" Meiling apologized but then gasped at seeing an emerald-eyed girl in front of her.

"Gomen gomen, you must be new here!" She squealed.

"My name is Kinomoto Sakura" She held out her small hand.

"Mine is Li Meiling, I am from Hong Kong, China" She shook her hand and smiled.

"Let's be friends" Sakura smiled to her.

"Hai!" Meiling smiled. Sadly that was the last she saw of her. A week later Meiling had to leave and they didn't get to say good bye to each other.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~End of Flashback

"Souka" Syaoran nodded and Sakura squealed as well.

"You went with her Syaoran?" Sakura looked confused.

"Yeah she is…"

"His cousin, his favorite cousin" She squealed as Syaoran let out a groan. Sakura just giggled.

"I never saw you, oh yeah 'cause she said you left…" She trailed off.

"Hai"

"Anyways why are you here Meiling?" He asked knowing it would not be good.

"You are called to come back to Hong Kong" She was serious. Now, she was rarely serious but he could see the seriousness in her tiger like eyes. They never lied when they were like that. This could not be good.

"Why?" He feared the answer to his own question. Sakura just gasped, tears threatening to come out. People around were watching them. The body guard's pushed everyone out of the place even the workers so they could all be alone.

"You need to become the Clan leader…and marry one of the members, Aunt Yelan has given you some to choose from" Sakura gasped. Marry? What was going on?

"I can't" Syaoran stated. He wouldn't leave Sakura not when he had a great job and his life was going to great.

"Why?"

"Cause I love Sakura" Meiling gasped. Maybe she could talk to Aunt Yelan about marrying someone outside of the clan.

"Syaoran you already broke your engagement off with me so how can you persuade her this time!?" Meiling yelled.

"Engagement?" Sakura asked.

"I used to be engaged to Meiling, but I was able to break it off because I never loved her only as a sister" Meiling looked down when she recalled that memory.

*~Flashback*~

"Xiao-Lang, you needed to talk to me?" Meiling came into the room where Syaoran was sitting in front of the fireplace.

"Sit." He ordered.

"What did you need to talk about?"

"About our engagement" He looked down at his sweaty hands. Was he able to do it?

"I have broken it off" He stated. He could hear a gasped and a held back sob. He couldn't look at her but he knew she was hurt.

"W-why" She choked out.

"I don't love you that way, only as a sister, nothing else"

"Then who do you love?" She feared the answer.

"I don't know but I will know when I find her" He smiled to himself.

"Are you alright?" He asked her. Stupid question. Of course she wasn't, who would be after someone you loved didn't love you back and told you they didn't?

"I will be later, for now I am will be leaving" Meiling got up and was about to open the door to leave.

"Wait Meiling!" Syaoran started to get up from his chair to grab her.

"No"

"I hope you find the one you love Xiao-Lang, I will pray that you will, good luck" Then she left and cried herself to sleep in her room.

Syaoran knew it was for the best and he knew Meiling did too.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*End of Flashback

She almost broke into sobs but was able to keep it back.

"Souka" Sakura nodded at them both.

"I will not go back, I can't, and I won't" Syaoran stated firmly. He couldn't leave Sakura. He just couldn't.

"I don't want you to leave Syaoran" Sakura cried and hugged.

"I love you too much" Sakura sobbed. Meiling just felt sorry for the two. She didn't know what to do.

"Me too, I will get us out of this, I promise I will." He hugged her back. They needed to tell Eriol and Tomoyo about this.

"Wow, Sakura-chan you have a lot of fans!" Meiling gasped in awe.

"H-hai…" She blushed.

"Ooooo, Syaoran is the boyfriend, now the ladies will be after you" She winked at him and he just blushed in response.

"Better watch out Sakura, he might be gone before you know it" She winked again holding back a giggle.

"N-no I won't let him!" She hugged him tighter while Syaoran just blushed yet again.

"You want to meet my two friends, Eriol and Tomoyo, Meiling-chan?" Sakura asked.

"Sure!" So they all went back to the recording studio to meet the evil couple known as Eriol and Tomoyo.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"TOMOYO-CHAN!!!" Sakura screamed happily.

"OH Sakura-cha- who's she?" Tomoyo eyed the Chinese girl.

"This is my long time friend, Meiling Li!" She squealed. Tomoyo glared at the girl. No one gets in the way of Tomoyo and Sakura's friendship and apparently someone is doing so.

"Konnichiwa Meiling Li, must be the cousin of Li-kun, ne?" Her voice dripped with meanness as she glared at the girl.

"Hoe?" Sakura looked at the two. Nothing should be wrong, they just met each other.

"Konnichiwa! Your name?" Meiling was totally oblivious to it.

Tomoyo wouldn't give up. She was Sakura's only girlfriend and no one else's.

"Daidouji Tomoyo, Sakura's best friend, lyricist, costume designer, and many other things that we won't list" She replied sweetly. Too sweetly.

"Nice to meet you Daidouji-san" Meiling smiled brightly to the girl.

"You too" Tomoyo gave her another glare.

Syaoran and Sakura were confused. Tomoyo has never acted like this. Sakura would have to talk to her later.

"Oh do you we have company?" Eriol came out noticing a new person in the group.

"Hai, this is my long time friend Meiling Li!" Sakura told him.

"Nice to meet you, I am Tomoyo's boyfriend, Eriol, Eriol Hiiragizawa" He smiled to her but then noticed the glare Tomoyo was giving her. He knew exactly what was wrong.

"Nice to meet you!" Meiling smiled back.

"Well we need to practice the songs, don't we Sakura-chan, Li-kun?" Tomoyo was still mad which was totally noticeable.

"Hai hai…" They both replied.

"Wow, Syaoran you sing!? With Sakura-chan, kawaii!" Meiling squealed. Tomoyo glared she only said Sakura and Syaoran were cute, not Meiling.

Sakura and Syaoran both blushed in response.

"Wait, Li-san why are you here in the first place?" Eriol asked.

Meiling retold the story and they all gasped. Tomoyo smirked; she has to leave sooner or later.

"Well we must help, ne, Tomoyo-chan?" Eriol looked at her and still noticed the fierce glare she was giving to the innocent Chinese teen.

"Hai" She smirked to herself. The plan would go well.

*~*~*~*~*~*~
