A Cherry Blossoms Death
Woohoo!!! Oh yeah…I made it to the sixth chapter…I can NOT believe it…usually I get too lazy to think up any new ideas…yay!!! Hooray!!!
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala!!!
Okay…I'll stop now.
LA!!!! Yeah…I've finally flipped…no, actually, it's 1 am and I'm about to fall asleep…except that I can't go to sleep, cuz I'm not gonna rest until I've finished this chapter! Oh the pain! Oh the agony!!!
Hehe -_-;; don't mind the theatrics…it's just a bad case of insomnia talking…usually I sleep like a log (no smarta$$ comments plz)…I dunno what's wrong with my tonight, though…oh wellz.
On with the story!!!!
So we left off with yet another…(AN: drumroll please…) cliffhanger!!! I'm so proud…
::Sigh:: well, at least I kept you in suspense!!!
::chews lip nervously:: well…I hope I did…I did right? Right?! Tell me I did…
well…I guess I'll havta reschedule my psychiatric appointment…-_-;;
I hope I left many of you guessing…seongmi in particular, I'll give you a hint…
Okay, it's not Sakura and not Seria…although some of you may think I'm contradicting myself when it all comes together later on. But in my point of view it's neither one of them. There…I just gave you a major clue, that is…if you're sharp enough to understand. If any of you think that you might know what I mean, try e-mailing me or something…or include it in one your reviews…and as I said last time in my bio, you might get a sneek peak…well, it's not as if I can send you guys money or a whole package of chocolate, now…can I?
Lol…moving on…
I almost forgot…
I don't own Card Captor Sakura…I may write fanfiction that includes the characters and the story idea…but I don't own CCS. Sue me, but all you're getting is a lifetime supply of cuss words and a VERY bruised and battered body…besides…who could do that to someone as sweet and innocent as me? ^_^
Auntie Yelan's Wish: Enter Meiling
The girl looked like a deer caught in the headlights – about to be flattened to a certain death – as realization dawned on both Syaoran and Eriol's faces. Their faces contorted with fury and anger as they imagined the possible ways that this girl…Seria…had killed their much-loved friend. And how she had driven Tomoyo to insanity…
"Seria" Syaoran snarled, all the four week's worth of jumbled emotions and hidden pain was shown on ever bit of his face. His amber pools glowed with immense hatred. The girl was frightened, and perhaps she wasn't Seria after all, but a mistake on both Eriol and Syaoran's part, but Syaoran was too caught up in a whirlwind of suppressed feelings to care. If the girl had been alarmed then, she was nothing of the sort now. After regaining her composure, her emerald eyes – so much like Sakura's, but lacking her love and innocence- were fixed in rage at being caught out by these two contemptible beings. In one mighty movement, she had kicked both Eriol and Syaoran aside, now sprawled across the grassy lawn one on top of the other, as Seria ran….who knows where? Untangling their limbs they ran after her, following the direction they had seen her go. "She…went this way!" Eriol puffed, pointing to a nearby alley.
"We've got her now," Syaoran panted, looking and sounding triumphant at the thought that they might be able to avenge Sakura and Tomoyo's death. They came to a halt when they reached the alley and found nobody there…
"Well…why don't we just use our magic to locate her?" Syaoran suggested.
Eriol shook his head, and they both knew why. Even with that one kick, they had felt a powerful magic surge from Kinomoto Seria…more powerful than Eriol's own…
~ * ~ * ~
Syaoran rubbed his knee where the impact of Seria's blow had hit him the worse. Eriol glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and frowned. "I just don't get how Seria can manage to have such a high magic level, when Sakura had such a weak one when she opened up that communication link…"
Eriol realized what he'd just said too late. He'd never told Syaoran about the communication link, and now it looked like he'd get payback from the blow to the nose which he'd given Syaoran back in Tomoyo's room.
"What?" Syaoran demanded incredulously, seemingly oblivious to the car which almost had to swerve away as he crossed the road without looking.
Eriol grabbed his arm. "Look where you're going, Syaoran," he snapped, watching as the car sped away. "We don't want you killed as well…"
Syaoran calmed down a bit and gave a short bitter laugh. "Don't you wish things could be easier…remember the times we all had – all four of us?"
Eriol smiled and nodded, remembering all those times and more…and it didn't hurt that he'd been able to change the subject either…
They'd decided that the funeral would be almost over and there wouldn't be any point to listening to meaningless chit-chat about how Tomoyo was such a great girl and how everybody would miss her. Who needed to be reminded of all the pain that was soon to come? Sonomi, in particular, had broken down when she's had to stand up to give her eulogy. Both Eriol and Syaoran had been requested to give a little speech as well, but both declined without much explanation besides the fact that they knew they'd sound like blubbering fools up there on the podium.
Sonomi had begged and pleaded, but finally gave up and let them be.
Syaoran opened the door to his apartment and immediately caught a whiff of blueberry pancakes and hot cocoa. "That's funny," he frowned, closing the front door behind him. "I thought I gave Wei the day off…"
He made his way to the kitchen with caution, Eriol following suit, and almost fell over when he saw what – or rather, who – was there.
"Mei…Meiling!"
She turned with her raven odangos swishing behind her and greeted them warmly. "Oh, hi Syaoran-kun…hi Eriol-kun!" She gestured to the table and grinned.
"I was just making breakfast for you…call Tomoyo over and we can all have a heart-to-heart…you know about…" she cleared her throat and paused "…about Sakura's death and everything…"
Syaoran glowered. "Meiling! Don't put it so bluntly," he lectured her. "Think of how Eriol must feel…"
Meiling looked confused, wiping her hands with a teatowel as she waited for a better explanation. Syaoran looked take aback as he saw the surprise on his cousin's face. "You mean you don't know? Tomoyo is…dead…"
There was a clatter and a tinkling of china pieces falling to the tiled kitchen floor. "Wha…what?" Meiling spluttered. She turned crimson and looked apologetically over at Eriol who had said nothing over the course of her conversation with her cousin. "Eriol-kun…I'm so sorry…" she apologized. "I didn't know…I hope you can forgive me…"
Meiling bowed her head, covering her face. Her eyes were brimming with tears. How could she come here planning to make amends with her cousin when he showed no indication of welcoming her back into the fold and she'd already stuffed up the first few minutes she'd seen him? Auntie Yelan was wrong.
She couldn't make a difference.
She looked back up, drying her tears with the back of her hand. Eriol gave her a small reassuring smile. "It's alright Meiling-chan," he said. "You didn't know."
Meiling returned his smile with a small grateful one and laughed nervously. "Well, I still hope that we can still eat the pancakes I made." She glanced at the mess on the floor, watching the chocolate-y liquid seep over the tiles. "I'll just have to make more hot cocoa…"
Syaoran frowned and took a place at the table. "Meiling…what are you doing here?" he asked her. Blunt and to the point. That was the best way with his cousin. Meiling looked up from her position on the floor where she had been cleaning up her spill. "Oh…well," she blushed and looked back down. "I was supposed to make amends with you," she murmured. "And your mother sent me here…to make sure you wouldn't get yourself into anymore trouble…she's really worried about you, you know. And I am too…Sakura's death must've been really hard but…" Meiling babbled endlessly, and finally stopped when she saw the expression on Syaoran's face. Mixed with anger and contempt.
"I told Mother I would be okay…" he sniffed. Eriol shook his head. "Well…actually, you told her that you wouldn't get mixed up in all this business," Eriol corrected him. "And, well…you weren't exactly telling the truth, were you?" Syaoran sighed in defeat. "
"I guess you have a point," he admitted to his friend. Eriol nodded and patted his hand, his eyes still looking a little lost and tired from the past occurrences. "And maybe you should take it a little easier on your cousin too," Eriol added, nodding toward the black-haired girl. Syaoran glared at him, then glanced at Meiling through narrowed eyes. "Not in your life," he muttered, not loud enough for her to hear…(AN: poor Meiling! But don't worry…things will get better soon…after all, this is not a Meiling-hating fic. It is merely a let's-bash-up-Meiling-then-make-her-the-good-guy fic. lol)
Meiling walked up the steps tiredly, as she heard the two guys talking in quiet voices. She couldn't understand why Yelan had sent her here…she knew it wasn't just to keep Syaoran from trouble…Auntie Yelan had told her that there would be a lot of surprises in store for her…but what?
Sakura was dead. Tomoyo was dead. She shuddered as she remembered the hint of uncertainty in her aunt's voice. As if she wasn't sure whether or not Meiling was fit enough to do this job. Something was wrong…and Meiling didn't want another death at hand…something was going to happen…something that would test her better judgement…and it was gonna happen soon…
You're probably wondering what I'm talking about, but you'll find out soon. Anyways, I know it's a short chapter and not much happened…but oh wellz
R+r plz!!!
