Author's note: Okay peeps, this is 26 and I liked I've said many time before I hope you like it. Um this chappie is short but heck at least it's a chapter. Um I'm really sorry for ending the last chapter right there!!! IM NOT THAT EVIL LOL AND YOU GUYS NOT IT (SMILES EVILLY SHOWING FANGS) Ne ways read on.
"It's been a day, he needs to wake up" a woman said looking out the window of her large estate home, everyone in the room was silent listening to her. "There's a lot that needs to be settled" she continued firmly, her face void of any emotion as her hands were clasped firmly behind her.
"He will, he went through a lot," Eriol said from behind her, he had wanted to call the girls but wasn't allowed. Everyone's attention was drawn to the door when a figure walked in leaning on the door, the girls gasped looking at him. And the men looked at him wondering what he was really like in person and how Wolf brought this one up, but when they looked into his eyes they could quickly see that he was indeed a Li man.
"Eriol get a phone, call Tia's cousin and give me one. I need to call Sakura" Syaoran said in a hoarse voice, that still held implacable authority. He didn't given address anyone in the room and made some of them wonder who he think he was but they dear not ask such a question.
"Right away" Eriol said smiling, relieved that he was finally awake. Yelen however was still looking at her son in mute fascination, he didn't even bother saying hello to her or anyone else in the room. What had happened to his manners? More so what had Wolf taught him?
"Xiao Lang, we need to talk" a man said firmly getting a glare from Syaoran, who was definitely not in the mood to talk at the moment.
"Not now, I will talk when I feel like it but right now getting Sakura and Tomoyo here is the most important thing" he snapped grabbing the phone from Eriol who was dialing Tias' cousin's number on the other.
Gasps could be heard in the room but Yelen wasn't the least bit surprise, if he had acted any other way she would have been sure he wasn't her child.
Sakura.
Sakura traced the picture frame that held a photo of her and Syaoran as she wrapped her other hand around her inhaling his scent, she couldn't believe this was happening to her. "My love." she whispered achingly when Rika and the girls walked into the room, they looked at her pale figure and sighed all jumping when Sakura's phone started to ring .she froze in place listening to it before racing to answer it leaving everyone lost. "Hello.hello" she said weakly crossing her finger, every time her phone rang she would get excited for nothing but maybe this time her luck would change.
"Hey beautiful." came a gruff voice making Sakura burst into tears leaning against the wall for support. Syaoran turned his back to the nosey on lookers especially his sisters, whose eyes were bulging out at the sudden change of his character.
"Oh god.oh god, please tell me its you" Sakura cried brokenly collapsing to the floor, Tomoyo's heart began to beat rapidly listening to Sakura, that she had to sit on the bed.
"It's me.god I miss you" Syaoran answered achingly sitting down, his shoulder still sore from where he had been shot.
"I miss you I love you, I love you so much, where are you? Why didn't you tell me?" Sakura babbled, her spirits soaring at an incredible speed.
"Hold on" he laughed surprising his mother and sisters, "I love you and miss you too" he added almost making them pass out. "I'm in Hong Kong, I didn't tell you because you would have followed me"
"Followed you, I would have tied you down. Syaoran do you know how I felt watching the warehouse go up in flames and then you didn't call me, I wanted to die" Sakura stated angrily. "I thought I had lost you, like I lost my family"
"I'm sorry I won't ever do it again but that's not important right now. Listen I want you and Tomoyo to pack what you can cause your coming here as soon as possible. Eriol is on the phone with Tia's cousin making the arrangements for your flight"
"What? Why can't I leave right now?" Sakura gasped her mind reeling.
"Because once Ahmed finds out that I'm not dead he'll want to follow you to me, we can't take any chances" he explained and Sakura nodded even though he couldn't see her.
"Right, I'm so happy, god everyone's staring at me like I've lost my mind.I think I did lose my mind" Sakura laughed, making Syaoran regret what he did but that didn't matter now all that mattered was getting her to him.
"I'm sorry listen, I have to talk to Michelle about the plans. I'll call you right after I'm finished with her okay?" Sakura didn't want him to go so soon but then again the faster she left here the faster she would be with him. "Eriol wants to talk to Tomoyo and explain"
"All right, I love you little wolf" Sakura sighed happily, smiling brightly as her cheeks turned rosy from the color returning to them.
"I love you too cherry blossom" he replied before handing Eriol the phone.
"Tomoyo its for you" Sakura beamed handing the phone to Tomoyo, her hands shaking as she took it.
"Hello my dear" came Eriol's innocent voice making her smile, a smile that quickly faded. Unlike Sakura, she had gotten enough time to get angry.
"You are going to be in so much trouble when I see you again, how could you do this? Do you know how much it hurt? Eriol what were you thinking?" Tomoyo yelled angrily making everyone wince, even Eriol as he ignored Mika and Syaoran's smirk.
"Now, now sweets I had to watch over Xiao Lang and I'm sorry it went all wrong. Please don't do this I promise I'll make it up to you when I see you again" Eriol promised sweetly smiling, that even Tomoyo had to smile.
"I know you will I love you and miss you, I think this is the longest I've been with out you. And I don't at all like the feeling" Tomoyo said softly but Eriol heard.
"I know but it'll be that the last, I love you and right now I'm going to get everything ready for you and Sakura's trip here, be ready to leave"
"We'll be ready to leave tonight or right now if that were the case. But we'll be ready and get the earliest flight possible"
"That's the problem, you guys can't leave for a couple of days, two the most or three. Things have to cool down" Eriol said and cringed hearing Tomoyo yelled about how stupid the plan was. "I know but it's the safest trust me"
"I don't want to wait that long Eriol" Tomoyo whined sitting one the bed.
"It'll take that long please just be patient, I have to go I'll call you tonight" Eriol sighed looking at everyone.
"Fine tonight until then" Tomoyo said hanging up, she lay back on the bed wiping her tears away, and she didn't want to wait that long but knew it was necessary. If they wanted to get to them without causing any problems for the guys then they would have to wait. Rika was the first to break the silence.
"So what do we do now?" they all looked at her in deep thought, Sakura looked up and smiled happily.
"We wait until Michelle comes over then we start preparation, there's nothing else we can do except enjoy each other's company until then" they all nodded sighing
"Then by all means lets start packing a very light suitcase for you guys and what ever else the guys might need or want, then we can have the rest of the time to ourselves" Chiharu proclaimed loudly making them jump then laugh getting up.
"A wonderful idea my dear Chiharu" Tomoyo stated joyously taking her hands, they all headed out of the room to set out on their tasks.
Down town Tokyo.
"What the hell do you mean they aren't there? Check again, they have to be there.they have to be" Ahmed yelled slamming his fist on the desk making everyone in the room jump, some cursed under their breaths not wanting to put up with his shit any longer but didn't have a choice.
"We check everyone and everywhere, the bodies we found don't match them. I'm telling you they aren't there" a man yelled back angrily glaring.
"LISTEN there is a simple solution to everyone's problem" a man laughed standing up, he had been quite the entire time listening to Ahmed let loose his rage on these poor people
"And how's that smart ass?" He glowered but the man just smiled ingenuously taking his time.
"Well the girls are still here in Japan aren't they?" When Ahmed nodded his smiled brightened considerably. "Well naturally they will want to contact them or see them again, whatever the case"
"Point taken but as you can see we don't know where they are" Ahmed replied sarcastically.
"Not a problem all we have to go is watch the two gals and they will eventually lead us right to them unintentionally" he explained breezily leaning against Ahmed's desk. Everyone in the room nodding agreeing to what he said and also to the fact that it would save them a lot of dirty work.
"All right Jackson I place you in charge of that, you'll give me daily updates. If they plan leaving Japan, we'll be going along for the ride"
"There is one more thing you need to know if you don't all ready" Jackson said raising a finger at Ahmed, who looked at him frowning.
"And what exactly is that?" he asked sarcastically.
"That is, you can't touch Li or the guy in Hong Kong because of their family status there. Over here he might be a regular but over there he has incredibly power. So the only way to get him is to make him come for the girl. Now we must make sure she doesn't leave Tokyo and if she does then we have to make sure she doesn't reach him"
Syaoran.
"All right, all right I agree. Tell mom that I'll be home soon" Michelle stated excitedly she couldn't wait to put her new project into the play.
"Good girl, make sure everything is valid or they'll have trouble and that is something we don't need" he explained softly looking out the window of the room that was now his. The room that belonged to the master of the house but right now he didn't feel like anything without Sakura to share it with.
"Don't worry when I'm finished even you won't recognize her" Michelle laughed giddily imagining all the possibilities right at that moment and all she would need to accomplish it.
"Don't do too much and nothing that can't wash out and DON'T put a scissors in her hair" he warned tightly making her laugh louder.
"All right, ne ways ciao distant cousin" she called before she hung up, he sighed resting against the wall. When this was over he would have her by his side forever. He was counting on Michelle's abilities and prayed that she would do her best like always, cause anyone would be damned if they got in the way of his or Sakura's happiness.
Present.
"Oh god look, it's Hong Kong" Tomoyo explained looking out the window, me, I just sighed and prepared to greet my new life, one I hope would be a loving and happy one. "Oh I can't wait to see everyone right Ying Fa," I smiled as our other companion nodded a mischievous glint flashing in her eyes.
"Oh yes I can't, it'll be a wonderful sight" she added loudly smiling evilly, I shook my head and sighed looking out the window as the large airport came into sight, a smile forming on my lips. Ahmed was a little late in stopping us from leaving Japan, all because of Alex and Max's diversion, but there was no doubt in my mind that he was here waiting for us.
'God we're finally here, the week we were in Japan getting everything ready went incredibly fast. While I got all my parents stuff in a safe place away from Vivian, Michelle got our disguises and traveling papers ready. Rose left two days before me so it wouldn't give us away and with her went some of my most prized possessions and some of Syaoran and Eriol's things. Two days before our flight Michelle dropped by for a dress rehearsal and it was the first time I got to see how I would dress for my little journey, we were all shocked and laughed at how I looked but it would get me there safely. Michelle had a disguise too; Tomoyo was the only one who didn't need one according to Michelle. We were all nervous about our little trip but Max and Alex told us that everything would be all right and they would definitely come for the wedding'
"What's the matter?" Tomoyo asked resting beside me as the sun disappeared beneath the mountains.
"Nothing just nervous that's all" I confess laughing; Tomoyo smiled nodding, she was feeling the same way.
"Don't worry we'll be all right, this should be a piece of cake, now come on lets get your name down. And you need to remember to wear these when you have to read something" she stated handing me, my glasses. "The girls will be here in one hour for our little party, so cheer up"
"Your right, come on lets go" I said looping arms with her.
