Sakura waved one last good-bye to her father and Touya. She walked on to the plane.
Once in her seat, Cero popped his head out from her backpack.
"Plane is taking off," the captain announced. She leaned back and thought about her
destination ahead.
After Li calmed himself, he went to get a broom. When his mom walked into the
living room, she found Li sweeping the floor. "What's that for?" she asked gruffly. Li
was used to it.
"I, er, Meilin is expecting someone, a classmate." He finished up and put the broom
away. He disappeared into his room again. "Must be a girl", his mother thought.
Sakura looked out her window. She could make out the shape of Hong Kong's
airport ahead. "Would Li be there?" she wondered. Then she slightly colored. He was
nice although he acted so scornful and unlikable on the outside. He even looked
concerned the last time they sealed a Card. She wished he would understand, wished that
she could talk to him without stammering. But how can she be so sure that he felt the
same way?
"Plane is landing soon." Sakura closed her eyes and thought, "Here I go."
Li sat uncomfortably in his seat. Meilin had said that she was not feeling well, so he
had come to the airport alone. He shuffled his feet in nervous waiting. The plane landed
and he saw her jump out of the plane. He got up and went to greet her.
"Hi Shaoran!" she cried cheerfully. Li blushed furiously and couldn't say a word.
Sakura stared at him for a moment, then looked away, turning red as well.
"I'm sorry," Li said once he got his voice back. "Welcome to Hong Kong." They
both stood there awkwardly for a while. Li picked up her suitcase and walked towards
the bus stop. Sakura followed, feeling stupid that she made Li feel so bad.
A large group of tourists ran their way. By instinct, Li grabbed her hand and pulled
her out of the fray. Sakura was taken aback by their rude behavior. "It's always like this
here." Li explained. They panted and as if suddenly realizing it, they jerked their hands
apart.
"Let's walk home instead." Li mumbled. She noticed that he had turned hot red. She
decided to make him feel better about all this. "Hong Kong is nice. Um, do you live far
from here?" Li shook his head. "Not that far, but I just thought you would like to ride
comfortably to my house." Sakura smiled to herself. So he did care.
"Tomoyo! Get your head out of the way! I want to see!" Meilin complained. They
watched as the pair ahead walked quietly. "Hush, Meilin. I'm trying to get this on tape.
If you want to see, I'll send you a tape later or something." They quieted when Sakura
spoke.
"Li, do you want me to carry my own suitcase? I mean, is it too heavy for you?" Li
held it with only one hand. The training he got from his family had toughened him up.
He shook his head, afraid that he would talk stupidly if he opened his mouth. The both of
them had the same thought in their heads: What should they talk about?
Just when Li was about to ask her a question, they heard Meilin scream. She pushed
Tomoyo out of their hiding place while shrieking, "I saw a rat! Ah! Get me out of here!"
Li held Sakura back as the two spies tumbled out.
"Meilin!" cried Li. "Tomoyo!" cried Sakura. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!"
they both yelled together.
The two sheepishly got to their feet. Tomoyo hid her camera. Sakura and Li looked
from one guilty face to the other. Meilin whispered to Tomoyo, "Let's make a run for it."
Both girls ran off giggling. Li and Sakura sighed. Then remembering each other, they
tensed.
"Come on. Let's go. You have to get settled in." They trudged to his house in
silence.
