Chapter 4: A Sweet Welcoming: Part One
Syaoran sat at the evening dinner table. It was the night before his and Meilin's departure. They would be leaving the mansion around three and arriving at the airport around three thirty. Their plane would take off at three forty five a.m. and would land at six, which would be seven in the Japan time zone. Meilin and Syaoran were both enrolled at a high school, but neither knew which one yet.
This was convenient because not many reporters would be up at that hour and it wouldn't be like trying to drive to a festival in New York City at the airport.
Meanwhile Meilin was also in her little world. (Unless the sentence has quotation marks at the beginning and end, this is all what Meilin is thinking.)
While Syaoran's sisters talked incessantly about our trip to Japan, I was feeling guilty about what I'd done to Sakura. Over the years, I'd manage to push ant thought about Sakura away like an army forced troops back. But now those thought were retaliating, and they were winning. I wondered if Sakura remembered what I'd told her all those years ago. I hoped not. If she did, it was going to be even harder for us to take the cards away from her.
The elders are forcing us to get married again
Those words could ruin everything if Sakura heard them again. We needed to get the cards for the clan. If we failed Xiao- Lang wouldn't look as though he was fit to be leader. That would ruin everything we had worked for.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sakura sat on the floor of her room playing a challenging video game with Kero. Despite his absence of fingers Kero was winning. Kero cheered his player knock Sakura's player down with a slide kick. The screen flashed POINT 1.POWER LOSS- 40% "Take that," he challenged. Sakura punch Kero's player square in the nose. The Flashed, POINT 2. POWERLOSS – 50 %.
"No fair," complained Kero, as his player moaned, "you only lost 40 % of your power!"
"All's fair in love and war,"Sakura stated sweetly. Kero just grunted and put his concentration back on the video game.
"Sakura!" Touya yelled as he came up the stairs. Kero and Sakura looked at each other in horror. Sakura grabbed Kero's little yellow body in her hands gently, before throwing him across the room. Sakura pressed reset on the game box while Kero landed on her bed just as Touya entered her room.
"Why aren't you in bed," Touya demanded grouchily, as he glanced at Kero suspiciously, who was sweating. Sakura glanced at her clock to see that the bright green numbers read 1:34 a.m. She hadn't realized the time. She had planned to go to school in the morning. She hadn't seen Tomoyo in awhile and she missed her dearly.
"I didn't realize the time," answered Sakura. Touya stared at her before leaving the room with a click as the door closed.
"I don't like him," stated Kero. He stares at me every time he sees me. Sakura chuckled.
"Touya's suspicious of everything and everyone,"Sakura stated, as she climbed into her bed after changing into her nightgown. "Goodnight, Kero," she said softly.
"Goodnight," Kero said, as he snuggled on Sakura's fluffy pillow.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Hurry up, Meilin!" order Syaoran, as he ran to gate 81, where his plane would be taking off.
"I'm hurrying," snapped, the raven haired girl, as she reached the gate a few moments after Syaoran did.
"Tickets please," requested the lady checking tickets.
"Here," said Syaoran shoving the tickets in her hands.
"You may board," she said stiffly. Meilin ran past her into the plane followed by Syaoran. The two teens found their seats in the first row of first class. Meilin fell asleep as soon her head touch the back of her seat while Syaoran watched half of the movie showing before he also fell asleep.
Syaoran awoke to the sound of the flight attendant saying, "Ladies and gentlemen please fasten you seatbelts. We will be landing in Japan shortly. "Syaoran shook Meilin awake and told her to fasten her seat belt. She obeyed before falling asleep again. Syaoran however entertained himself by fiddling with the complementary peanuts until the plane landed.
Once again, Syaoran shook Meilin awake as the plane landed.
This time Meilin stayed awake as she departed from the plane with her cousin. The teens ran all the way to the limo after leaving the plane and picking up their luggage.
"To our school," ordered Syaoran.
"Shouldn't we stop by your new apartment first?" asked the driver, Jonburu.
"No time," answered Meilin. "You can drop our stuff off at the apartment after you drop us off."
"Very well, miss," answered Jonburu, passing a blue Toyota.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"SAKURA!" yelled Kero, the next morning, "you're late!"
"Keerooooooo," groaned Sakura, lunging a pillow at the yellow creature. "I don't stress to be on time any more."
"Oh," said Kero softly. "In that case-
"Kero!" screamed Sakura, "It's only seven!" she announced glancing at the clock.
"I thought this might prevent you from being late if I told you that you were late," he explained softly. Sakura's face softened as she swathe little guardian cower.
"I'm sorry for yelling at you," apologized Sakura.
"Forgiven," said Kero. "Can I come to school with you?"
"Sure," said Sakura. "You can even pick where we eat for lunch."
"I didn't know you were permitted to have off campus lunches," said the creature
"We aren't," stated Sakura, as she left to take a shower.
10 minutes later
Sakura was still in the bathroom, so Kero decided to pack his lunch just in case he got hungry before lunch. He dragged Sakura's book bag downstairs as fast as his little body could. Once he got down the stairs, he faced the problem of opening the cabinets, let alone the refrigerator. "Great," mumbled Kero. "I know!"
He transformed into his true form and began stuffing Sakura bag with everything in site; cookies, candy, peanut butter crackers, ores, fruit roll ups, pudding, & a Wal mart bag for his trash. He tried to add Touya's cake, but it wouldn't fit.
Still in his true form, the guardian beast dragged the bag into Sakura's room and placed as it had been before he disturbed it. Then, Kero transformed back into his false form, just as Sakura entered the room.
"Ready?" asked Sakura as she put on her clothes. Sakura's high school didn't require uniforms.
"Yeap," said Kero as he flew into her opened book bag.
My bag is a little heavier than I remember, Sakura thought to herself, as she trudged through the snow covered side walk. Sakura zipped up her black leather, fur lined jacket as an icy wind blew by. She hated winter. It reminded her of that day, as she called it. The coldness of the season just made her grouchy.
She hated bundling up every day. Each morning she would have to put on her snow boots over her regular shoes and then take them off as soon as she reached her destination. Then, there was the jacket issue; it was about four sizes to big. The coat went over her favorite jacket, which was her leather jacket. She had to zip, velcro, and button and unzip, unvelcro, and unbutton all for one coat. Of course she had to rap and unwrap her long scarf about twenty times a day and that was only on week days.
Sakura climbed the steps to her school entrance and entered. She made her way to her homeroom after asking directions. It had been so long since she stayed the whole school day, she had to ask Tomoyo for her class schedule.
Tomoyo shook her head as she wrote down the schedule for Sakura. "What brings you here?" asked Tomoyo.
"I wanted to see you guys," answered Sakura, who was opening a cream savor. She popped the candy in her mouth before turning her attention to the teacher, who was making an announcement.
"Class today we have two new exchange students," the teacher announced. "Please welcome Syaoran & Meilin Li. They are cousins and will be with us for at least a year. Upon hearing those two names, Sakura spit the candy she was sucking out. The orange candy flew across the room and landed at Meilin's feet.
A/N: okay this next part is from different point of views.
Great! I thought, not only are we attending the same school, but we share the same homeroom!
"Miss Kinomoto, we don't permit any food in the classrooms," the teacher scolded. Sakura just glared at the teacher and looked out the window.
"We don't have assigned seats in this classroom," the teacher told us, "you may sit wherever you like.
There were only two seats left; one on the left side of Sakura and one on the other side of Eriol, who was smiling. I sat next to Sakura. I wasn't going to let Syaoran sit by Sakura. Besides I didn't want to even get near Eriol; he couldn't stop smiling if his life depended on it. As Syaoran took his seat next to Eriol, he glared at me before turning to do the same to Eriol.
As Syaoran sat down, I was pleased to see a look of displeasure on his face. I hoped Eriol would make him go crazy with his insane smiling. I wanted Syaoran to be miserable.
They didn't come here for a vacation, I realized. Their clan wouldn't allow it, I sneered as though I was speaking I to the Chinese teens. I knew those two had come for something, I just didn't know what-yet.
I knew this was going to mean trouble as soon as I heard Mrs. Brown announce those two names. Sakura would become angry and start skipping school again. Not to mention she had only just recently started continuing school. But then again, maybe my cute little descendant could turn Sakura around, I thought while smiling at my descendant.
Oh, no, I thought, Sakura's going to make Syaoran suffer for kissing Meilin. I just know it. And knowing Sakura, it'll be cruel and unusual punishment. Poor Syaoran won't even know she's punishing him, either. Hopefully, he'll find a way to tame Sakura.
As I sat o the other side of Eriol, I glared at Meilin. Not only had she sat by Sakura to prevent me from doing the same, but worst of all she'd forced me to sit next to the human sized smile face. Eriol always had that same evil smirk on his face, as though he was planning something sinister. I saw why he and Tomoyo got along so well; they both loved to concoct evil plans that involved other people.
