Ascension
Chapter 4
Eventually, the plane landed in Hong Kong. As Sakura and Li disembarked, they found that Li's mother, Yelan, was waiting for them.
"Mother!"
"It's good to see you again, my son," Yelan said. "And this must be Sakura."
"That would be me," responded Sakura. "I'm honoured to meet you."
"And I am honoured to meet you," Yelan bowed. "I'm even more honoured that you will be staying with us during your time here. The limo is waiting to take you to our home."
"Limo?" Sakura had never ridden in a limo before. She was quite amazed at how much room there was, even with all three of them sitting in the back.
"We're quite secure in here," said Yelan, "so it should be okay for you to allow Keroberos his breathing room."
Sakura was surprised. "You knew Kero was with me?"
"Well it's about time!" Kero burst free of Sakura's bag. "A bear can only hold his breath for so long, y'know!"
"Yes, Sakura, I was quite capable of sensing Keroberos' presence," answered Yelan. "Plus, I could hear his stomach growling!"
"Yeah, I'm still starvin'! I could sure go for some pudding right about now!"
"Pudding? Now that's interesting," Yelan said. "Although I've read everything that Clow Reed ever wrote about his work, he never stated anywhere in his books that the Guardian Beast of the Seal has an affinity with pudding!"
"Aw man, don't tell me you've got no pudding either!"
Yelan smiled. "I'm certain we could arrange something when we reach our house."
"Great-more waitin'!"
"Kero!" scolded Sakura. "Try to show some manners!"
"Well, excuuuuuse me! It's awfully hard to be polite when you're wastin' away to nothing! If ya'd packed some pudding ahead of time, I wouldn't be in this predicament now, would I?"
"How was I suppose to know you were going to stow away in my bag?"
"You should've known! I mean, it's like this isn't the first time I've done this sort of thing!"
While Sakura and Kero were having their frank exchange of opinions, Yelan was quietly whispering something to her son.
"She's quite a lovely girl Li. I always suspected that there was ulterior motive in your decision to stay and keep an eye on Sakura-"
Li's face went red. "Moooom! Shhhh! She might hear you!"
Yelan decided that this was probably not the time to be discussing such things. After all, they only had a few days to get Sakura ready for her meeting with the Elders. Nevertheless, Yelan was certainly looking forward to spending time with this young lady who had undoubtedly captured the interest of her son.
