Hey everyone! I finally got this chapter done! I did a lot of this in school. Spring break is here so hopefully I can write another chapter in a week. I was working on a humor fic with Starlight Rose and Jia-Tien so that is one of the reasons why this is a bit over due but it's out now and that's all that should matter.
I think I'll add a disclaimer since I've never done one in a while
Disclaimer: I don't own CCS. It belong to CLAMP. I do own this story line and plot. Also Megumi and Shou are my made-up characters so they belong to me.
Finding Him- Part 13
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone looked at Touya in surprise.
"Well," he growled, "where is she?"
"Heh heh..." Everyone chuckled nervously.
Silence fell when the laughing stopped. Finally Yukito spoke up.
"Touya, what are you doing back so soon? What about Megumi and Shou?"
He turned to look at Yukito. "It's almost time to leave. Megumi is watching all of the kids and they went on a boat ride while I was to come here to get Sakura."
Touya turned and gave Syaoran an evil look. "Where is she?"
"Uh… well…" Syaoran started.
Touya saw and heard his hesitation. In two strides, he crossed the room and threw Syaoran against the wall, pinning him there with his arms.
"What did you do to her?! Where is she?" Touya growled.
With a twist of his wrist, Syaoran release his self from Touya's grasp and stood with his eyes fierce.
Yukito came up and put his hand on Touya' shoulder as Meiling ran up to tend to her cousin.
The gray hair guardian in disguise sighed and said, "Touya, you need to calm down. Sakura has grown up and does not need to have you watch her twenty-four seven. She just went to meet an old acquaintance." It was true, even though the acquaintance wasn't necessarily nice.
"In fact," Yukito continue, "Syaoran-kun was about to go and fetch her right now, right?"
"Huh?" Syaoran said. "Oh yeah!" he replied after a sharp elbow belonging to Meiling impacted in his side. "In fact," he said while receiving glares from Touya and returning them to him," I was about to leave before you came in and attacked me."
A low growl was heard from the bottom of Touya's throat and Touya moved out of Syaoran's way.
"Well," he said gruffly, "go and get her!"
Syaoran narrowed his eyes and checked to make sure he had his sword as he walked to the door, his eyes never leaving Touya's.
"Don't you dare hurt her or else I'll…"
Yukito sighed. "To-ya… Don't worry." He then proceeded in pushing one of the crackers that he had been eating into Touya's mouth.
Muffled sounds could be heard as Syaoran walked to the front door with his cousin. At the door, Meiling sighed and gave Syaoran her best wishes.
"Good luck Syaoran. Find Sakura and bring her back safely. I'll stay here with Yukito and make sure Touya doesn't come after you to kill you."
"Yeah gaki." Kero popped his head out of Meiling's pigtails. "I'm coming so I'll make sure you don't screw up."
Syaoran glared at Kero but said nothing. He spun around and yanked the door open. He moved to walk out of the house but someone stood in the entryway.
One of the clan elders stared at the person about to leave the house. After the shock registered and passed over, the elder cleared his throat and moved to step in the house.
Syaoran backed away to allow the elder entry. Curiosity took him over as well as hope, but he promptly pushed the later away for the elders were rigid and unpredictable. It was best to wait and see what he wanted.
The elder cleared his throat again and said, "About the matter with the Card Mistress, have you found her yet?"
Syaoran shook his head and the elder continued.
"We have made our decision. If you should find her, please bring her back her. We will allow her to become a clan member if you are still willing to marry her and she is still willing to marry you."
Syaoran felt happiness wash over him. He heard Meiling direct the elder to Syaoran's mother so he could tell her the council's decision. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meiling turned around and hugged Syaoran. Inside, she was torn but her cousin could be with the one he loved now.
"Congratulations," she whispered to him.
"Meiling, are you going to be ok?"
Meiling felt tears in her eyes but she quickly blinked them away. Roughly she pushed he cousin toward the door.
"Go on. Get her before they change their minds."
Syaoran examined Meiling. He could tell she was hurt but she was trying to hide her fears and disappointment. He sighed, "Meiling…"
She gave him a harsh look and motioned to the door.
The little wolf sighed once again and opened the door. Shock and recognition filled his eyes when he saw someone standing in the entryway. (~A.N. trying to resist the urge to stop here) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Daidouji?"
Tomoyo Daidouji stood in the door.
"Konnichiwa!"
Tomoyo stepped in the house. She looked around and asked, "Where's Sakura-chan?"
She watched Syaoran and Meiling exchange looks. Her eyes narrowed in suspicion but before she could do or say anything, Meiling dragged her further into the house.
Syaoran could hear his cousin distract Tomoyo so he could leave without another interrogation. He silently thanked her.
"Come Tomoyo," Meiling said from the distance. "Where are my manners. Let me get you some tea. Here's some crackers. You must try them; they are wonderful. Come on, don't be shy. We have so much catching up to do.
Syaoran shook his head at his at his cousin's antics. Once again, he silently thanked he and exited the house. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok! Chapter done with! Please R+R. No one has been lately and I'm so sad… Do you all hate me because I'm so slow at getting chapter out now? *sniff sniff*
Anyway, on a lighter note, this story is coming to an end. One or two more chapters and an epilogue if you guys want one. Tell me! I need feedback! Is my story suddenly bad or something? I need to know.
