Chapter 6- What's That Smell?
After that whole ordeal, no one wanted to talk to Syaoran because they were too scared. What just happened seemed to have shocked everyone.
"Where did Meiling go?" Yelan asked her son.
He replied " She went home!" then ran up to his room.
Sakura witnessed it all. She decided to talk to him.
*KNOCK KNOCK* "Who is it and what do you want?" demanded Syaoran.
"Whoa! It's me, Sakura!", she opened the door. "Let's go for a walk and talk about what happened, alright?" she said.
"Ok fine!" Syaoran responded.
They walked hand in hand in the garden. Then Syaoran spoke.
"I really don't see why she's mad at me! I DID NOT sound b*tchy when I told her what card it was! She was just over reacting!". He sounded as if he had been keeping that in for ever.
"I think that you maybe sounded a bit too harsh! (Syaoran gave her a cold look) BUT, I know you didn't mean it! Ok, I know that she can be annoying and she can also be really clueless, but she's such a great friend. She cares so much for her family and friends, especially you!" Sakura replied. She looked at Syaoran, waiting for a reaction.
Syaoran stared into Sakura's emerald eyes. "You're right. I'm glad we talked! (He gave Sakura a kiss on the cheek) Hmm… what should I do for Meiling? *SNIFF SNIFF* Do you smell that? No one cooks food that smells that good except for Meiling! Do you think that she's come back?" he asked Sakura.
They ran back into the house. No sign of Meiling or of anyone cooking. They decided to follow the smell. The smell brought them to the fountain. There, they saw a small woman in a chef's outfit with delicious looking platters surrounding her.
"Who are you?" Sakura asked.
"I'm the best damn chef in all of the world!" said the chef. She looked a bit offended.
Then, *POP*! She disappeared.
"AHH!!" Sakura screamed. Syaoran jumped.
Ling arrived almost immediately. "What's wrong?" she asked Sakura.
Sakura explained to Ling what just happened.
"Hmm… That sounds familiar! I'm pretty sure that it's the Cook Card! I'm sure that there isn't a joker around here. Ok, the Cook Card is an easy card to catch. It's harmless! Well, unless it throws food at you. Did you say anything offensive?" Ling asked them.
"Well, I could have!" Sakura replied.
"You've scared it off! Now we have to find it before it gets away!" commanded Ling.
They searched almost everywhere. The only place left was Syaoran's room.
"You guys can't go in there!" Syaoran told the girls.
"Why? I was just in there an hour ago!" said Sakura.
"Well, Ling can't go I there! It's too messy!" blurted Syaoran.
Sakura thought that it was an odd reason, but she didn't bother to carry on with the subject.
"I'm sure that it isn't that bad!" Ling said to Syaoran. She pushed him aside and opened the door. "Ha! I knew that you were here!" squealed Ling.
The card looked happy to see Ling again. It let her seal itself. Ling explained to Syaoran and Sakura that she made the Cook Card because her dad was a terrible cook and because her dad was sometimes so busy that he couldn't cook her anything to eat.
"Um… Ling? Can I borrow your card?" asked Syaoran.
"Sure!" replied Ling.
Syaoran used it to make Meiling a "Forgive Me" cake. Meiling accepted his apology, but she still thought that she wasn't useful to the whole project. No matter what Syaoran said to her, she still refused to join the group again. Syaoran said that he understood, but really, he didn't…
