A/N: Hey Hi!! ^_^ I feel I haven't given you guys an entire reason as to why I had stopped writing for over a semester's worth of time but here are some excuses....

A)My best friend's sister had died in a tragic car accident...

B)I suddenly have two half siblings that I didn't know about for the past 14 years of my life...

C)I have a recurring illness that keeps me from going to school and always doing make-up work..

D)All of the above.

Wweelllll.....you'll have to wait 'till the end of the chapter to find out about my problems as well ^^;

BTW: Finals are next week so I'm studying and I'm also over loaded with new plot twisting ideas!! Many thanks to MeilingLi in #ssforever on mIRC cuz' I dunno how I would have been able to express my thoughts and get them into order ^^; Credits to you! Mei: You're the best oneesan ever!! ^_^ Now on with the story!!









ShengXin: (Sacred/Broken Heart) Chapter 14: Visiting Tomoyo

Meiling entered the toy store in a nervous fashion. Seeing that it was closed during the night made coming inside ever so much more eerie. She walked slowy and soundlessly as possible. Trying to remain calm she began to talk to herself.

"C'mon Meiling, don't freak out. You agreed to this, so follow it out....maybe I shouldn't have left Yelan and Wei in the car. Damnit. Tomoyo better show herself VERY soon." Her pace quickened as she sprinted through the endless aisles of stuffed animals, board games, tea sets, fire trucks,trading cards, amusing electronic gadgets and what not. The dead silence of the toy store irritated her mind and caused her heart to throb against her chest in raging paranoia.

A shadowy firgured emerged from the darkness. It crept toward the opposite side of the room where Meiling was positioned. 'A robber?' Meiling thought. 'Who in the right mind would want to steal from a toy store? ...maybe for money, but why not from a bank instead?' Meiling inched her way toward the figure cautiously. She made a quick attempt to hit a pressure point to hold the person down and possibly catch a glimpse of the culprit's face. The figure dodged and attacked back making a clean swipe at Meiling's face. Meilng blocked but was held in a tight grasp against the shelf by the unknown figure.

Suddenly lights flooded the room and Meiling was in shock.

~~~~In the car~~~~

"You think she's alright?" Yelan asked.

"I would think so." Wei assured her.

"It's already been twenty minutes since she went inside." She paused worriedly, "What could be taking so long?"

"I do not know Li-san."

"This better not take long. We must discuss you know what. You said yourself, you have noticed it as well.

Wei nodded solemnly, "I wonder if she has realized it herself..."

"We will simply have to wait and see. Has she shown her full potential yet?"

"I'm not sure. Her abilities only come so often. I know it's rising. It may never be as high as Master Syaoran's but her power is coming into being."

Yelan sighed, "I'll give her five more minutes. Seeing Daidouji-san shouldn't take that long."



~~~~Toy Store~~~~

Meiling's eyes were wide in astonishment, "Dai-daidouji?!" Tomoyo released her grip upon Meiling's neck, "Anou...gomenasai. Daijoubu?" she backed down and blushed. Meiling nodded understandingly massaging her throat. "Nande mo nai. I'm fine really." She chuckled lightly, "Say...when did you learn how to fight back anyway? I would have never guessed it was you at all." Meiling stopped short and guestured to the length of her own neck. Tomoyo laughed her infamous Tomoyo laugh "OHohohohohoh. I cut it." was all she simply said.

Meiling shrugged off the topic. "Well spill it."

Tomoyo shook her head. "I want Syaoran and Sakura to hear this too."

Meiling sweatdropped, "I came her for nothing...."

"Oi! Aren't you glad to even meet me?" Tomoyo joked."

"Err...I don't mean it that way. It's just I thought I could find something out about uncle."

Tomoyo tilted her head and smiled. "I know how you feel. I know how Li-kun feels. I also know how Sakura feels. We have all felt one parent short. We also wonder, was it a coincedence that it happened to yet all four of us."

Meiling nodded. "I don't know why either. We'll find out eventually. They cannot hide the truth forever. Wu-ming is source no doubt." She paused. "So when do you plan to come to over to the house?"

"I'll stop by tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?!" Meiling shrieked at the top of her lungs. "I told them next week!"

"Ay, no problem then. I'll come by monday. I mean afterall, I'm going to be staying for quite awhile. The toy buissness is flourishing here."

"Shall we remain in contact 'till then? Or is that too suspiscious?"

"Call me on my cellphone only."

"Hai. Ja matta."

Meiling turned and headed for the exit, plan ready and anxious to put it into action. She smiled secretly to herself. "It's all coming together...."
