Sheng Xin

Chapter 16: Syaoran's Otousan and half-sister drop in





The dew upon the courtyard grass glistened in the cheery morning sunlight. A peaceful, lonely and slow day was upon world as it seemed. The young clow mistress swayed back and forth, broom in her hand, humming happily as she swept the outside. Her head turned as the sound of a car pulled up into the Li residence driveway. Excitedly, Sakura ran to greet the expected Meiling, Yelan and Wei home. She stopped dead in her tracks, her eyes wide with question. To her surprise, an unfamiliar jet black Honda convertible lay parked in the drive way. A handsome middle aged man sat at the driver's seat. He opened the car door stepping out cautiously as he surveyed his surroundings. He was accompanied by a young girl of perhaps 16 that remained seated in the passenger's seat in front. Her eyes gazed sharply around the Li residence then glared as she layed eyes upon Sakura.

Sakura stared back in disbelief. No doubt it was Wu-ming. But why? Why now? And who was that guy beside her?

Wu-ming opened her side of the door and walked out. She faced Sakura. "You must be the maid."

Sakura's brow twitched, somewhat annoyed. She simply smiled, nodding and thought,'That means she doesn't know who I am....what kind of sorceress is she? Her third rate unannounced visit. Heh.' Sakura bowed lowyly as if to play the part.

"Welcome to the Li residence. May I be of service to you?"

"Yes, we request to see Master Syaoran and his mother, Mistress Yelan."

Sakura shook her head, "I'm terribly sorry to dissapoint you, neither are here today, much less the rest of the family."

The middle-aged man eyed Sakura curiously "Do you know where I may locate any of them?"

Sakura pondered if a good housekeeper was supposed to reveal where their Masters were if they weren't home....probably not. "I'm not quite sure where any of them had ventured off too. My apologies for inconvient service."

Wu-ming crossed her arms smugly like an impatient child awaiting a present. "Please father, if they're not here, we might as well leave."

Sakura was shocked 'Father....Syaoran's father...here....'

"Not now." He replied. "We wait until they come. We've waited 16 years, we can wait another hour." They all stood calmly in awkward silence.

Sakura was panicstricken. 'Kuso....what would Wei do now?' She thought hard... Sakura finally thought what could be best. "Anou, would you like to wait inside?"

They nodded and followed Sakura inside into the living room through the courtyard. "Please feel at home honorable guests." Sakura smiled as she guestured for them to sit. Solemnly they sat to the British styled wooden chairs of their liking. More awkward silence. They patiently waited as Sakura left them alone in the room. She returned with Green tea and cake with antique Chinese tea cups and plates beautifully displayed in a neat stack. Sakura forced out another smile, "Please accept my brief hospitality for I must return to my cleaning." then left quietly.

Looking back slightly she tiptoed toward the kitchen and dialed Meiling's cellphone number frantically, "Meilin-chan!" she whispered, "Where are you?"

A sleepy voice responded, "Kinomoto-san? I dunno. Outside of Hong Kong still I guess...."

"You guess?"

"Mm-hmm."

"Give the phone to Li-san onegai!"

"Okay..."

"....Here auntie.....-hmm-.....it's Sakura-chan...."

A woman's deep voice answered, "Nihao."

"Li-san!"

"Why are you whispering into the phone? You sound troubled. Something wrong?"

"Yes! Guests are here!"

"I wasn't expecting anyone. You know that right?"

"Yes, but I couldn't just turn them away."

"Oh, who are these guests Ying Fa?"

"A middle-aged man and a young girl who looks like Meiling....but I think I know who they are...you know who they are don't you?"

"He came back to show his face!"

"Li-san! Not so loud onegai...they're in the next room..."

"I see...where is Syaoran, Siefa, Feimei, Fanren, and Fuutie?"

"Out shopping to pick up some groceries, I told them I'd clean the rest of the house for them..."

"Very well, wait for us, keep them entertained if you must keep them here. I'll be coming home within an hour or so."

"Hai."

"Oh,"

"Nani?"

"Do you they know who you are."

"No, they think I'm the maid."

"Hnn. Well keep pretending, Ming may want to challenge you on the spot. It is not time now."

"I'll do my best."

"Good luck."

"Ja ne Li-san."

Sakura layed the phone back upon the reciever uneasily. 'Now what to do?' She sighed as she stole a glance at the living room. 'This is going to be a long hour wait...'
