Two Years Later
"Good bye Li-kun.... good bye Meiling..."
Syaoran nodded, "Don't worry Tomoyo, we'll keep in touch. Anything about Sakura, call me right away. Alright? And don't think that I'm giving up Tomoyo."
Tomoyo nodded sadly, as tears escaped her eyes. "It's been two years!"
"We'll find her...someday...right guys?" Meiling added.
They all nodded.
"You know what Li-kun?" Tomoyo put a sly smile on her face.
Syaoran eyed her supsicously. "Nani?"
"I know how you feel about Sakura-chan...you should have told her sooner. Before she lost her memory..." Tomoyo smiled sadly soon afterwards. "But the past is the past. You guys better hurry, I can see Wei is getting unpatient."
"Bye Tomoyo..." He was red in the face.
Meiling gave her friend a hug. "I'll e-mail!"
Tomoyo nodded and looked over to Syaoran. "Say hi to your sisters and mom for me when you get back to Hong Kong!" Tomoyo waved as Syaoran nodded and disappeared out of sight from the big crowd. Meiling tagging behind.
Tomoyo stopped waving and dropped
her hand to her side, and turned around to return home.
"Passengers please make sure your seat belts are buckled. We will be landing in about five minutes! And thank for choosing China Airlines!" Said a lady over the speaker.
Syaoran sighed and rubbed his eyes. He had fallen asleep through this long flight. He tapped Meiling awake since she slept through the whole talk.
Soon after, Syaoran and Meiling stepped out of the plane and saw a person holding a sign with 'Li Syaoran' written on it.
They walked closer and noticed that many body guards were trying to keep the people from bothering Syaoran and Meiling with questions. Espeically the media.
"Mister Li! Is it really true that you went to Japan to see your girlfriend?!" Someone screamed over the crowds.
Syaoran turned red in embarrassment while Meiling dragged him towards the limo.
"Is that the girlfriend?!" Someone cried.
Syaoran scowled as he stepped into
the limo and it sped off.
Yelan paced back and forth. *My little boy is coming home! After two whole years!* She smiled in delight when she heard the limo pull up at the front door of the mansion.
A servant opened the door, and Yelan ran out to greet Syaoran.
"Ni hao mu qin (Hello mother)" He greeted, his voice muffled from the hug they were in. "Mom! I'm 19, please. Don't hug me in front of all these people!"
Yelan stepped back her face beaming. "But you're still my little boy! And look, you look even handsomer than before!"
"XIAOLLLLLANNNNNG!!!!!!"
Syaoran toppled over as one of his sisters tackled him. "Ah! Fanren get off me!"
"I'm sorry! But dear little brother, don't you miss me?!" She said, getting off Syaoran.
"Yes, yes, yes! I missed you all!" He rolled his eyes.
"Oohh! Meiling!!!" Feimei ran up to Meiling and they started talking.
Yelan then stepped into the house. "Er zi(son), come to the library. I want to speak to you alone."
*...Did I do something wrong?* Syaoran shrugged and followed his mother into the library.
"Yes mama?"
"What brings you back home all of a sudden? I know you went back to Japan because of that Sakura. Am I right?" Yelan asked. "But yet you return without her?"
Syaoran frowned, "She disappeared... Her family is gone...they all died."
"Oh my...poor girl!" Yelan said, putting a hand to her mouth.
"She used the erase card to erase her memory...but I think she remembers something...and she just ran off..." Syaoran said, staring into space.
Yelan hugged her son. "Do not worry...the card mistress is not dead..."
"I DIDN'T SAY SHE WAS DEAD!!!!"
Yelan stepped back in shock.
"...I'm sorry mama..."
"It's ok...I know it's hard XiaoLang. Wei has brought your belongings back up to your room. And if you're hungry, some food is prepared in the kitchen." Yelan smiled at her son, and left the room.
Syaoran sighed. *I don't feel like
eating...maybe a walk....*
A girl sped along the streets of Hong Kong on roller blades, her long auburn hair flying behind her.
"Hey! She looks familiar!" A person whispered, then they started running after her.
"Excuse me miss!"
The girl stopped, and smiled at a girl around 14. "Yes?"
"Are...are you MeiHua?! You know...the model???" The girl panted in excitement.
MeiHua giggled, "Yes, that's me..."
"WOWWY!!!!!!" The girl reached into her pocket and pulled out a piece of paper and pencil. "Can I please have your autograph?!"
"...Sure!" MeiHua took the pencil and quickyl signed her name.
"THANKS! I want to be a model just like you when I'm old enough!"
"I'm sure you will! You're a very pretty girl." MeiHua smiled as the girl blushed and ran off.
*Today is a Sunday...my break day....* MeiHua started skating down the street in deep thought. *Aiya...tomorrow I musn't be late for a photo shoot...*
"OUCH! Watch it lady!"
MeiHua winced as she hit the sidewalk. "YOU WATCH IT YOURSELF!"
MeiHua stood up and brushed herself off. She took a glance at the person she bumped into who was just getting up to.
The guy stared at her for a long time.
"...Do I know you?" He asked, brushing his messy brown hair from his eyes.
"No way! I better not get a bruise on my leg! What if I have to wear a mini skirt tomorrow! That would be horrid!" She cried out.
The boy stared at her strangely. *She seems so familiar...yet so not....But that aura...I know it from somewhere...S..Sakura?!*
"..Sakura?"
MeiHua's eyes widened, as she tried to relax. "What did you say?"
"...Is your name Sakura?"
MeiHua eyed the boy. "....I...I....." She stopped. "Hey, are you a stalker or what?! Why should I tell you my name?! Next you'll be asking my address!"
MeiHua turned around and sped off. *So much for a relaxful day...but that guy....the eyes...the aura...so familiar...*
Syaoran watched as the girl sped
off. *I would have swore that was Sakura...the emerald eyes are exactly
the same...* He shook his head sadly. *Maybe I'm hullicinating...*
MeiHua rolled around on her bed. *I can't fall asleep....that boy...I was being so rude! He reminds me of...him...* She rolled over again, and reached under her pillow.
She pulled out a key shaped charm
dangling from a silver chain. She stared at it for a long time. *The past
is the past...I'm not Sakura Kinomoto. I am MeiHua!*
YuChing paced back and forth, glancing at her watch every five seconds. *Where is she?!*
Right on cue, MeiHua came bursting into the door. "Aiya! Dui bu qi (sorry) I'm late!"
"At least you're hear," YuChing gave her a pile of clothes.
MeiHua sighed in relief as she noticed nothing was to short to reveal her bruise from yesterday's fall. "Is it nearing winter already?" She noticed all the clothes were mostly furry and for cold weather.
"Hai! Winter season shots are starting.
Well hurry over to change rooms over there," YuChing pointed towards the
change rooms and MeiHua ran to them quickly.
"XiaoLang!!!" Meiling tugged at Syaoran's arm. "Can we please please go to the mall!!!???"
"Argh! Why?! And you can go by yourself!" Syaoran sat up, frustrated.
Meiling pouted, "But I want you to come along! And we have to go to the mall because the famous model MeiHua is going to be there taking photo shoots!"
"I'm not interested in watching some girl in odd clothing and posing around!" Syaoran rolled his eyes.
"But she's so pretty!!!" MeiLing took a magazine from behind her and stuffed it in Syaoran's face. "See!!"
Syaoran pushed the magazine out of his face and stared at the cover. *.....S..Sakura?!*
"Sakura..?!" He didn't notice he said it out loud.
MeiLing stared at him. "Sakura?" She looked down at the magazine and stared at it for a long time. "AIYA!!! SAKURA!!!"
Syaoran sweatdropped. "You just noticed?"
"Well I haven't seen her in two whole years! And I'm not like you, who use to stare at her all the time! So you have a perfect image of her in your mind!" MeiLing argued.
"Whatever..."
"So we'll go to the mall?!" MeiLing already knew the answer would be yes, so she got off the couch and went to the front door.
"Yeah.." Syaoran got off the couch
and they both stepped out of the mansion.
"Beautiful! Now put your hand right there, and your right foot infront of your left one! Yes! Perfect!" The photographer beamed.
MeiHua lifted her hand to wipe away sweat. *Phew, these clothes are a bit to warm for me.*
"MEIHUA!!! I LOVE YA!!!" She heard someone scream from the crowd that had gathered around to see her modeling.
She smiled at gave the person a wink, but she didn't notice Syaoran and Meiling walking into the mall.
"Over there!" MeiLing pointed and dragged Syaoran all the way towards the crowd. "Move it people!" She shoved through to the front of the crowd.
Syaoran blushed when he saw Sakura in a nice furry pink jacket and high pink boots.
"SAAAAKUUUURAAAAA!!!!!" MeiLing screamed, while jumping up and down.
MeiHua looked towards the direction of the voice. She swallowed hard when she noticed it was... *MeiLing...* She pretended she didn't hear and returned to modeling.
"Ok, that's all for today! Great job MeiHua! Now at the end, you may interview our wonderful MeiHua!" The photographer said to the crowd.
MeiHua sat down on a chair as someone brought her a microphone.
"How long have you been modeling???!!" A girl asked.
"Hmm...around two years!" MeiHua replied into the microphone.
"Do you have a boyfriend!?" A boy from the crowd questioned.
MeiHua giggled, "Apperrently not."
The crowd started whispering and getting excited.
Syaoran frowned at the answer, and he stepped up. "I have a question."
*No...not you again!* MeiHua took a breath and nodded.
"Is your real name MeiHua? Or just a made up name?" Syaoran asked, staring at Sakura straight in the eye.
*Argh...I hate lieing...* "Yes, my name is MeiHua."
"TELL THE TRUTH!"
Everyone gasped at the sudden outburst from Syaoran.
Syaoran walked up to Sakura and took her hand while pulling her away from the crowd.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing!" YuChing started running towards them, but Sakura gave her a 'I'll be ok' look.
When they were in a empty hallway, they stopped walking.
"Tell. Me. The. Truth."
MeiHua sighed, and looked away. "Didn't I tell you already?"
"No! It's not true! You are Sakura Kinomoto! I know it!" Syaoran crossed his arms. "I can feel you aura Sakura. You can't lie to me."
"..."
"Why?"
MeiHua stared questingly at him. "Why what?"
"Why did you change your name? Why are you acting as if you don't know me?" Syaoran asked while frowning. "I know you remember me...and MeiLing, and Tomoyo?"
"Maybe I do, maybe I don't. Maybe I remember more than you think."
Syaoran's eyes widened. "You remember everything? That's good...isn't it?"
"NO! I HATE IT! I HATE MY OLD LIFE! EVERYTHING WAS PAIN!"
"So you do admit you are Sakura?" Syaoran added.
Sakura sighed in defeat. "Call me
what you want Syaoran. But Sakura's not coming back."
