Never Underestimate A Cherry Blossom
~Chapter Two: Escapee's, Clubbing, and New Gang's~
Li House:
Li Syaoran looked down at the rock climbing gear and frowned. 'I thought Wei would suspect something.' he thought, shrugging. He grabbed the backpack that he had packed and some rope from the pile. Of he had been on the second story, he naturally would've just jumped down, he'd been training all his life, but he was on the forth story. No way he was going to risk it.
He looked out the window, then went and tied the rope tightly to the doorknob. He grabbed the rope and hooked it to the harness, and slipped into it. He climbed onto the windowsill and turned around. Slowly, he lowered himself down and out of the window. He ever so slowly made his way down the wall, being careful to avoid windows; he definitely did not want to be caught.
He sighed as her felt his feet touch ground, it felt like he had been hanging on the rope for hours! He carefully unclipped the harness and sprinted towards the gate. Once over it, he grinned. Syaoran hadn't felt this good in ages.
"I'm free. Free!" he said aloud as he walked down the street, looking up at the stars and smiling some more.
"No more elders, no more arranged marriage, and no more having to live up to others' expectations of you." he said, turning a corner and bumping into someone. He looked down, startled, and came face to face with a pair of tired emerald green eyes.

In Plane:
Sakura watched out the window of the plane and sighed.
"What cha think'n 'bout, Saku?" Meilin asked.
"I'm just thinking about Ariko, and how much I'll miss him while we're there!" Sakura explained.
"Oh, come on Saku! You never know, maybe while we're in Hong Kong you'll fall in love with some Chinese millionaire!!!" Meilin teased.
"Oh, come off it, Mei-chan!" Sakura said, playfully shoving Meilin.
Just then the intercom came on, "Our arrival in China will be in forty-five minutes. Good day."
Meilin smiled, "Only forty-five minutes until we find out!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Forty-five Minutes Later:
Sakura and Meilin stepped off the plane.
"Have a nice day Mizuno Ying Fa-sama and Mizuno Mei Ling-sama." The flight attendant greeted.
"You too!" they said in unison, giggling as they headed for the baggage claim. Sakura fixed the position of the gun fixed snuggly in the small of her back. Hey, just in case!
"There you two are!" a voice called out from in front of them, Sakura and Meilin looked up to see Eriol with Naoko and Takashi.
"Hey!" Sakura called, waving.
"How come you weren't on our flight?" Meilin questioned.
"Fujitaka-sama said it would be better to send us on different flights. So Takashi and I came on one flight, while Naoko and the others took another, and you two another." Eriol explained.
"Oh." Sakura replied while greeting the others warmly. "What about our apartments?"
Eriol paused for a moment, "I think we'll have to rent separate ones, you know, around Hong Kong, but all of us here can get ones close together."
Meilin spoke up, "Sakura and I -will- be getting one together, seeing as we're still under the same surname."
Just then Sakura interrupted by hooking her arm through Meilin's, with Naoko on her other, "Let's go see China!" she smiled, she was feeling better and better about this trip to Hong Kong all the time, and besides, she and Ariko could always write and call, right?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura and Meilin walked down a street filled with apartment building, some very old, and some very new and high-tech looking.
"There's so many, Mei-chan!" Sakura exclaimed, she was very tired of searching for an apartment and just wished to fall into a nice, soft bed..
Meilin nodded, "Which one looks good for us, Saku?" she asked.
Sakura looked around, "How about we look around the corner, maybe they'll have a good one there.?" she asked, making a face at the building's she didn't like.
"Sure." Meilin trailed off as Sakura and her walked around the corner and Sakura walked smack into a stranger with amber colored eyes.
"Itai!" she cried, looking up, "Oh, gomen, Sir. I wasn't looking where I was."
He looked down at her calmly, "No, it was my fault, really, I wasn't paying attention." he trailed off. 'She doesn't seem to be from around here or she would've recognized me by now. And she speaks Japanese. Must've just moved here.' he thought, "Li Syaoran, and you are?"
Sakura looked back at Meilin and Meilin nodded encouragingly, urging her to tell him her name. 'But what name do I tell him?' she thought, 'My real name or fake?' she thought quickly.
"Eh hem." He coughed.
She looked up at him, "Kinomoto Sakura, and this is my sister, Kinomoto Meilin. Pleasure, Li-kun."
He blinked, "Uh. Pleasure to meet you too, Kinomoto-san-" he started.
Sakura interrupted, "You can call me Sakura if you want."
"Uh. Ok then, Sakura-chan, and you may call me Syaoran.. What are you both doing here?" he inquired.
Meilin stepped up beside Sakura, "Looking for an apartment." she explained, "But with very little luck so far, and we're both very tired, we're thinking of maybe getting a hotel room for the night and going to find an apartment tomorrow."
Syaoran paused, as if thinking, "I know of a good place to stay." he replied.
"Really?" Sakura asked, her face lighting up.
"Yes, it's around the corner from here, follow me." He said, turning around.
Sakura and Meilin followed eagerly behind, hoping to god that they would like this apartment. They were so tired.
"Well, here it is." Syaoran introduced.
Meilin and Sakura looked up at the building, it looked perfect! It was new, but not too new so as it would look cold, but cozy.
"Thank-you Syaoran-kun!" Sakura exclaimed as they went inside, Syaoran trailing behind.
Meilin sauntered up to the reception desk, "Hello, do you happen to have any three bedroom apartments free?" she inquired.
The landlady looked up, "One moment, dear." She said softly, shuffling through here papers, "Why, yes, one apartment like that, and yes, it is free, would you like it?"
Meilin smiled, "Yes please."
The landlady handed Meilin the papers and she signed them under her other name and handed them back, "Here."
"It's number1270." She replied, handing her the keys, "You seem like a very nice girl, I hope we get more residents like you."
Meilin took the keys and turned around, and as the three turned and headed up the stairs, Meilin and Sakura burst out laughing, "That was good, Mei- chan! 'Yes please!' and 'Here', oh, and don't forget 'I hope we get more residents like you'!" Sakura joked, slapping Meilin on the back and feeling a bit like she was back in Japan with the gang.
Syaoran frowned, "What's that supposed to mean?"
Meilin laughed loudly, "It means, I was acting, I ain't that much of a good girl!"
Sakura nodded, "Far from it!" Syaoran shook his head, a curious expression crossing his face as her looked at Sakura, she sure had pretty eyes.
'Um.Hello, earth to Syaoran! What are you thinking?! You ran away to get away from all this! You wanted freedom! Not to go out and find a girlfriend!' he sighed, turning, "Well, girls, it's been nice meeting you both, but I have to be going."
Meilin and Sakura frowned, "Where do you have to be so soon?" Meilin asked, "We're just getting to know each other!"
Syaoran paused, where was he going to go? He hadn't thought about bringing money along, and he didn't know anyone he could go to.
Sakura spoke up, "You must stay for a while so we can repay you for showing us this place! Come on, please!" she begged, winking at him.
'Wow, did it just get hot in here?' he thought to himself, "Well, I, uh. I have, uh."
"Then it's settled! You'll spend the night with us!" Meilin exclaimed, dragging him into their apartment.
'How do I end up in these messes???' he asked himself.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura adjusted the pink sparkly halter she had on under her leather jacket and pulled down the leather shorts she was wearing a bit. It had taken Meilin and her forever to convince Syaoran to go clubbing with them, it seemed as if he was afraid to be around large groups of people.
Meilin was wearing a red tub top that matched her eyes and a short black leather jacket and tight red pants, while Syaoran was just wearing blue jeans, a white t-shirt, and dark sunglasses. They had insisted he take them to the hottest club in Hong Kong, and boy, did he ever!
It was called Club Calypso, and it was an awesome place! Black lights and strobe lights and all kinds of cool effects everywhere, Sakura and Meilin jumped right into the dance floor, while Syaoran got a both table for them at the back.
Sakura and Meilin danced together, Sakura's hands on Meilin's (A/N: Nope, this is STRICTLY S+S/E+T/ect. Fanfic.. ^-^) hips, and guys from all over the dance floor turned their heads to the two dancing girls. Syaoran watched them from the booth, smirking. And they were sisters? Imagine how they were with friends!
Meilin smirked and leaned over to Sakura's ear, "Blond bimbo and lackey's, twelve o'clock." She whispered, Sakura nodded, and when she felt a tap on her shoulder, turned around smiling.
"Hello!" she greeted.
The blond snorted, "I'm Kyoshi, and this is OUR turf, and we don't want sluts like you here!" she said, flexing her arms to show off her snake tattoo.
Sakura sneered, "Oh, look, the little girl's got a snake tattoo! That must mean she's part of a gang! I'm so scared!" Sakura cried, faking shivers.
"Yea! We better leave now or they'll surely beat us up!" Meilin said, turning to leave, Sakura followed the motion. The blond smiled in satisfaction, but cried out in surprise as too boots flew into her stomach.
"Didn't Mommy ever teach you that turning your back on you opponent is disrespectful?" Sakura asked, laughing. They took out a few more girls before the rest fled in terror.
They stood, laughing for a bit before heading to Syaoran and their table.
"Wow, "he said, amazed, "I don't know who you two are, but I'd certainly like to get to know you better!" Syaoran joked
Meilin winked, "Maybe we'll give 'ya a lesson sometime." Little did they know, he'd been trained from birth as a fighter.
"Yea, maybe." he replied.
