"How long is she gonna train for?  I have a costume I want her to try on for when she goes fighting!"  Tomoyo said jumpy.

"Wait till tomorrow!  She's training till midnight!"  Their eyes widened and shook their heads. 


"I hope she'll be alright!" Tomoyo said.

"She will be…she's a strong girl." Eriol said.

Chapter 7 Michelle's Falling

Sakura sat half asleep in the living room with Syaoran.  Eriol had carried Tomoyo up to bed three hours ago and he was back down waiting with them. 

"Sakura…why don't we get you to bed…me and Eriol will wait here for Michelle." Syaoran said in a soft voice.

"No…she's my daughter tooo…mmmm…bed sleep…yes…" Sakura mumbled.  Syaoran smiled and carried her upstairs and tucked her in to her bed.  Kissing her forehead he walked back downstairs.  Eriol was waiting patiently on the couch. 

Syaoran sighed and collapsed back on the couch.  He looked over at the clock.  11:50.

"Finally…she'll be done!" Syaoran yawned, sleepy.  "She's definitely going to be tired."

"She'll just need a lot of rest.  I'm sure she'll be fine.  She's a strong girl.  Tomoyo and Sakura and you know that.  We've all seen her at different times.  Besides Wei can train kids.  He's taught you since you were little. Syaoran nodded. 

Once the ten minutes were over, Wei walked out, Michelle behind him. 

"She has completed most of her training.  She will need to train a little more tomorrow and she will have completed everything you have learned, Master Xiao Lang."

Their eyes widened in surprise as Michelle came out from behind him.

"Daddy…can I got to sleep now.  Michelley tired."  Michelle said rubbing her eyes.  Syaoran nodded.  She may be 5 years old but she had gotten into the habit of saying her name instead of saying 'I'm' or anything like that. 

Eriol looked at the young girl yawning sleepily crawling into her dad's lap.  Her energy level had increased drastically and her bright gold aura could be sensed from anywhere.  He would have to test her tomorrow, just in case of anything.  Syaoran held the sleeping Michelle and the two men walked upstairs, said good-night, and went to their separate rooms.  Placing Michelle in her bed he too went to sleep.

~~~***The Next Morning***~~~

Yelen walked through the house.  It was silent…really quiet.  The maids had the day off…Wei was in the training room getting ready to do some things with Michelle later on, everyone else was asleep and Meilin was standing at the door and pushing the door bell.

"Meilin?" Yelen said surprised answering the door. 

"Hi Auntie Yelen.  I heard that Syaoran and Sakura were here.  I just HAVE to see her new baby girl!" Meilin said happily holding a guy's hand.  "OH YEAH!  This is my boyfriend, Chris.  He's here on an exchange program from the United States.  And he is so sweet!" Meilin said giving him a hug.  Chris smiled at Yelen.  Yelen gave him a nervous glance and smiled.  She didn't like him.  He was…weird.  In a way.

"Well…Sakura and everyone were up late last night, so they may not be up for a while…but you know your always welcome here!" Yelen said letting the two walk in.  She led them into the living room. 

"They'll be down later on.  Do whatever you like." Yelen smiled and left.  She groaned and sighed.  She didn't like him one bit.  He was different. Michelle yawned coming down the stairs and rubbing her eyes. 

"Morning grandma!" Michelle said happily when she saw Yelen.  She smiled.

"Hey…want some breakfast?  Well…lunch?" 

"Yes!  Michelley starving!"

Yelen laughed and walked to the kitchen and sat down waiting for the cooks to prepare something.  Once they were done, Yelen led Michelle back to her room.  Sakura and Syaoran were walking out with Chloe. 

"Hey!  There you are!" Sakura said.

"MORNING MOMMY!" Michelle said hugging Sakura's leg.

"Michelle…theirs something on your bed that you have to dress in to finish your training with Wei." Syaoran said.

"NO!  No more training!  I don't wanna fight!  And you can't make me!" Michelle screamed running down the hallway.

They all looked surprised as they saw the little girl burst into tears running down the hallway. 

"Why don't we just leave her for now…" Yelen said.  "Meilin is waiting for you.  She came to visit you guys and see Chloe."

"Meilin!  Really!   Haven't seen in her for such a long time!" Sakura said running down the stairs.

"WAIT!  The man she is with.  It's her new boyfriend.  I don't like him.  He has a weird aura.  He has powers…Meilin doesn't know and he probably didn't tell her, so be careful!" Yelen warned them.  Sakura nodded and dragged Syaoran downstairs. 

Michelle cried running down the hallway.  She bumped into something and fell down.

"Oh hey Michelle!  What's wrong?"  Eriol said looking down.

"Uncle Eriol!" Michelle wailed.  Eriol led her to his and Tomoyo's room.  Tomoyo was still sleeping so they talked quietly.  Michelle spilled out her story as Eriol listened.  He smiled and gave her a hug.  Don't worry Michelle.  We just want to test you.  You want your mommy to get her special cards back and be happy again, right?" Eriol asked Michelle nodded.  "Do you want to help her?"  Michelle nodded again.  "Then we have to train you to do it.  And then I'll have to test you.  But I know you can do it.  You're a strong girl.  We really need you to do this Michelle.  It's very important." Eriol said.  Michelle nodded.

"I'll fight.  But after that does Michelley have to anymore?" Eriol laughed and shook his head no.  "Thanks Uncle Eriol!  You're the best!  You always listen to me!" Michelle said hugging Eriol and running out.  He smiled and looked over at Tomoyo.

"Your going to be great with our kids?" Tomoyo smiled giving him a hug.  Eriol gave her a quizzical look.  "When we have some, silly!" Tomoyo said giggling.  'Good cover up, Tomoyo…now for Sakura…" Tomoyo thought getting dressed running downstairs Sakura was in the living room talking to Meilin and her boyfriend.  Introductions were made and Tomoyo dragged Sakura out. 

"Hey…what's wrong?"

"I'm pregnant." Tomoyo blurted out.

Sakura stared at her and the squealed jumping in circles and gave her friend a big hug.  "Congratulations!  Did you tell Eriol yet?"

Tomoyo shook her head.  "I want to tell him.  But I want a nice quiet day with NO distractions. Can you make sure that NO ONE does anything and keep him away from Michelle.  He wants to test her."

Sakura nodded. "Don't Worry…I'll be here, Syaoran is training and going to test her to Eriol's standards and report back to him.  I'll notify everyone to leave you two alone." Sakura smiled.  Tomoyo smiled.

"Thank-you sooooo much!"

"Nice to see you again Meilin!  Maybe we'll see each other again before we go back to Japan!" Tomoyo said running out. 

Tomoyo ran into her room.  Eriol was dressed and was putting a pillow on the made beds.  He smiled.  "Just cleaning a little.  I'm going to find Wei.  I want to ask him about Michelle."

"Ummmm…wait." Tomoyo snapped her fingers concentrating.  Eriol reached for the door and yelped pulling back. 

He smiled.  "Nice Job!" he waved his hand over the doorknob and opened it.  Tomoyo growled in frustration. Snapping he fingers a brick wall appeared in front of Eriol. 

"Your improving, but I really have to go see Wei." 

"NO!"

"What's wrong?"

"I just want a day to ourselves…without interruption…it's kind of important…" Tomoyo said looking down.  Eriol smiled. 

"Sure…" he said closing the door.  "SO what's so important he asked wrapping his arms around her.

"Well…I'm ummmm…well…your going to be a dad…" Tomoyo said looking up.  He smiled, picked her up and twirled her around.  Setting her down he kissed her.

"How long?" he asked.

"About two weeks…I kinda snuck off to the doctor yesterday…" Tomoyo said.

He smiled.  "Whole day?"  She smiled and nodded. "Granted!" he smirked snapping his fingers.  She giggled.

Sakura sighed.  Yelen had called for her to the training room and she had to leave Meilin again.  Opening the door, Michelle was sitting on a bench, looking exhausted.  Syaoran looked dead serious and Yelen worried.  Meilin rushed in. 

"You called me?"  Yelen nodded and looked around for Tomoyo and Eriol.

"Where are they?" Yelen asked.

"Tomoyo wanted a day with interruptions and said no one to bother them." Sakura said.

"We need them HERE!  NOW!  This is very important!" Yelen said.

Syaoran smirked.  "I'll get them!"

Sakura groaned waiting five minutes as they came back.  Tomoyo and Eriol looking REALLY MAD.

"It'll be quick!" Yelen said glaring at Syaoran who shrugged.  "We found the way to the portal  Your all to leave tomorrow.  Michelle has past her training and will go with you.  Meilin I suggest you break up with that boy and quick.  When Eriol told me of the man on the plane he works for Brishina.  It's…Michel…in disguise using you.  He was brought back from the dead and is now able to shape shift.  Dismissed." Yelen said.  Tomoyo and Eriol left quickly.  Meilin and Sakura went back to the living room. Syaoran followed them to be on the safe side in case something happened.  Michelle followed Yelen out of the training room.

Meilin peeked in.  "I can't…I can't do it…" Meilin said looking down.

"You can do it!  Think of how he almost killed me and Tomoyo and EVERYONE!" Sakura protested.  Meilin nodded and walked in.  5 minutes later he stomped out and growled at Sakura. 

"Just you wait.  She'll make you pay.  Just you wait!" Michel said transforming back into his original body.  "And for old times…" Michel walked over, and kissed her, bending her backwards like in the old movies before running into a portal. 

"EEEEWWWWW!!!!!!  He kissed me!  YUCK!" Sakura said wiping her mouth.

"HE IS SO DEAD!" Syaoran said clenching his hands and grinding his teeth.

Sakura sighed.  "Are you coming with us, tomorrow?" Sakura asked.

 Meilin shook her head.  "I'll be best used here." Sakura nodded. 

"I'm going to feed Chloe, put her down for a nap.  Can you watch her?  Syaoran, Michelle and I are going out for a while." Sakura said walking up the stairs with Chloe.


"She's getting…demanding…" Syaoran said looking at her.

"It's just stress.  She'll be fine once this whole ordeal is over with." Meilin said.

Sakura came back down, dressed and ready to go.  Her Michelle and Syaoran left.  Meilin sighed and walked upstairs.  Chloe was awake.

"Hey sweetie.  Aren't you supposed to be asleep!" Meilin said lifting Chloe out.  She sat down in a rocking chair and hummed to her softly, until the little baby fell asleep in her arms. Softly, she set her down back in the crib and covered her up. 

"You'd be a great mother…" a voice said from the door.  Meilin whirled around.  Touya was leaning against the post smiling. 

"Y-y-you were spying on me?"  He nodded.

"I was walking by and heard your sweet voice humming so I stopped to see what you were doing." Touya said.  Meilin blushed and said thank-you. 

"Well…I was headed out to the pool.  Wanna join me?" he said hesitantly. 

"Sure!" Meilin said smiling.  "Let me just put Chloe in little rocker thingy so I can bring her down there.  I'll meet you down there, okay?"

He nodded.  "And can we go to the indoor one?  It's September and Auntie Yelen told Wei to close the outdoor one."  Touya smiled and nodded.

15 minutes later Meilin was changed and waiting at the side of the pool, dangling her feet in the water.  Touya smirked sneaking in on her and pushed her in.  Meilin screamed as she fell in face first splashing into the water.  Swimming to the surface she gave Touya a look. 

~~~***That Night***~~~

Sakura yawned as she fell onto the bed.  "Tired?" Syaoran asked. She nodded.  "Well get some sleep.  We'll need it for tomorrow." He said kissing her forehead.  She nodded crawling under the covers and falling asleep.

"Daddy.  When do we get to go back home to Toemedo?  I have to start school!"  Michelle said crawling onto her bed. 

"Well, we can go back once mommy has her cards back and everything's alright.  If we can't go back in time you can start school here." Syaoran said tucking in his daughter.  Michelle nodded, and soon fell asleep.  Chloe was awake looking at a mobile playing above her.  Syaoran kissed her good night and fell asleep soon.

SL:  There!  All done!  Dun be mad!  Touya and Meilin are just to cute together!  Anywayz…the next chapter will be up ASAP!  I PROMISE!  It's just so hard and I never find the time to write them!  Well!  R/R!
