A Honest Rumor

Author's Note:
Fanfiction.net is started to get on my nerves. Either it's something up with ff.net or it's my computer, but I'm having a hard time getting to certain pages because it either will not load or will not show. How annoying. Anyway, despite the annoyance I have managed to continue on with this story.
I had to add Tomoyo into this.

Chapter Eight: Code Green
----------
"Why do we always have to work on this project at my house? Why not yours? What is so great about my house?" Sakura complained as she kneeled on the ground and continued to help Syaoran design the poster board for their project. "Really, is your house that bad?"
"We can't go there because Meiling and Lei are working on their project at my house. I really don't want to be near him and my cousin at the same time." He stated, avoiding eye contact with Sakura. She nodded lightly as she stuck out her tongue and squinted her eyes to make sure she would get everything onto the board, perfectly. She looked over at Syaoran, who began to laugh. She blushed heavily and sat up.
"What?" She said, staring at him. He continued to laugh.
"You look so stupid." He said, laughing for a few more seconds before he caught his breath and then began to mimic Sakura. He stuck his tongue out, and pressed it to the side of his mouth, and then squinted his eyes, but decided to add more exaggeration and crossed his eyes. She continued to blush, and then smacked him.
"I DO NOT LOOK LIKE THAT!"
"Oh, you'd be surprised." He said, as he shook his head, ignoring the pain that was beginning to numb his cheek. She chuckled and the two went back to working on the poster board, until it was completely finished to their desired appearance. After this, their project was completely finished except for the presentation which would be later.
He sat down and sighed, wondering why they had to finish so soon. Meiling and Lei wouldn't be done for another hour, and in fact, Meiling had told him not to come home for at least two hours, and they had already finished in an hour.

"Don't you ever get the idea that you're involved way too much in this, May Rain?" Tomoyo spoke into the walkie talkie, and then let go of the button and turned the volume down so that static was not as loud. As of the moment she was standing behind a tree in the backyard, while Meiling was in the front yard.
"What do you mean, Song Bird?" She heard her friend spoke back into the walkie talkie.
"You're basically stalking your cousin and his crush. Did I mention you're sitting in a bush near the window in camouflage clothing?" Meiling shook her head and stood up slightly, and peeked into the window where Sakura and Syaoran were talking.
"Well, I don't know! Lei is sick and had to leave early! And damn, these two drive me insane. I am reminding my self of you."
"How is that?"
"Didn't you use to stalk Kinomoto and comment on how she was so cute when the clow cards were around? Well, I'm not commenting on how cute they are, but I'm basically stalking them! I have become the Song Bird!" Meiling couldn't help but chuckle slightly as she continued to peek into the window, as she watched her cousin and his new interest. She quietly pressed the power button on the walkie talkie and stared. A moment had passed before she had quickly pressed the power button on again and began to frantically move out of the bush.
"CODE GREEN!" She said into the walkie talkie, and there was a sound of rustling from Tomoyo's side. After a few minutes of sprinting, Meiling had finally made it to the park and had plopped herself down on her knees, gasping for air. Tomoyo had been following behind her, a worried expression on her face, no doubt coming to the conclusion that Code Green meant something serious had happened in their attempts to spy on Syaoran Li and Sakura Kinomoto.
"What's code green?!" Tomoyo asked, as she took a seat next to her friend, gasping for air. "Is it serious!? What happened to them!?" She pressed her hands against her knees and took in another gasp, letting her darkened lavender hair fall in front of her. Meiling bit her bottom lip and stared at the girl beside her and shook her head, silently. "What?" Tomoyo repeated, through breathing. She caught her breath and stared at Meiling, who just stood.
"What this time?" Tomoyo said, as she realized Meiling had pulled her cell phone from her pocket and was slowly dialing in the first few numbers of a certain phone number, which Tomoyo did not know because of the fact that she could not see her dialing. She groaned and laid down on the ground. "Please, do not tell me you're going to call Sakura's house! If you are, Meiling, why can't you just explain to me what you saw, and what exactly Code Green means? I didn't see anything from the back window!"
Meiling set the phone against her ear, and waited a few rings before anyone answered the phone. She began to speak in Chinese to the female on the other line before there was talking once again and then a few minutes later she had hung up. "Who was that?"
"I needed to tell Lei something." She responded as she set her phone back into her pocket. Tomoyo replied with a look of confusion.
"I thought Lei spoke Japanese? Meiling! What are you trying to hide from me!?" Meiling smiled, slightly, and shook her head.
"He does. He also speaks Chinese. He told me I'm obsessive and need to go on with my life without Syaoran and Kinomoto in it. I suppose that he has been jealous because I've been giving Syaoran and Kinomoto my full attention and not him. Although, I'd have to say that isn't the point." She paused, sat back down and folded her hands in her lap, before turning her focus onto Tomoyo, who was sitting next to her and listening intently. "Tomoyo Daidouji, are you aware that Code Green means a public, or not so public, display of affection?"
"You're kidding me!" She responded, doubling the speed of her normal voice.
"Tomoyo! They were making out!" Meiling said, as she laughed slightly. Tomoyo stared at her with wide eyes, doing her best to process the information. She shook her head at the girl and laughed some more, wondering why the two even bothered to prove they were enemies when things would end up like this?
