Chapter 27

Ka puts a plate of french toast on the table and he sits across the table from Meilin. "Dig in."

Meilin gets up and walks over to his side and stands beside him. As Ka pushes his chair back so he can relax a bit and Meilin sits on his lap and steals his toast.

"Hey that was mine." Whines Ka jokingly.

"I know," says Meilin as she swallows the toast, "But it's so yummy when you steal food."

Ka wraps his arm around Meilin and kisses her on the shoulder, "Yes but I don't want to starve."

Meilin smiles and grabs another piece of toast. "So what should we do today?"

"I'm not sure, you may want to call Madison and Eli and tell them your alive." Replies Ka as he grabs a piece of toast and eats it.

"I guess your right. But I'm comfy." She wiggles her butt on Ka's leg.

"Well you don't have to get up." Smiles Ka as he pulls out his cell phone from his pocket.

"Why didn't you tell me you had that in your pocket." Mumbles Meilin her mouth full of toast.

Ka just laughs and dials Eli's cell number.

"Hello?"

"Hey Eli, it's Ka listen Meilin's alive and with me ok."

"Oh so that's where she is, Madison has been a little worried that she didn't call."

"And she wouldn't have called unless I brought it up and she too busy stuffing her face with french toast right now to talk."

Eli laughs and Ka can hear him telling Madison who soon laughs as well, "That's sounds like Meilin. Ok as long as she's alive. Oh tell her we got a call from Xander saying that Fóo had called the elders and said she is staring a new life with Aaron, and that Sakura will be coming home as soon as she's able to fly with the baby."

"Girl or boy?" asks Ka as Meilin looks at him oddly.

"Girl, her name is Sora."

"I will tell all to the toast master over here."

"Ok bye."

Ka hangs up and tells Meilin what Eli told him.

"Good I hate Fóo a lot."

Ka looks at the plate and sees Meilin ate all the toast that was left. "Hey I was hungry you know."

"I can cook something for you."

"NO!!! Meilin, no don't cook."

"Well fine then." Pouts Meilin.

Ka hugs Meilin close and kisses her on the lips softly, "Pouting is not your best suit."

"Why don't we just hang around here today, I'm to lazy to go anywhere."

"Why don't we going up to the lake and go swimming?"

"Ka I don't have a suit."

"Well we could stop at the house, or you could swim in your bra and panties, or you could swim naked. I would mine the last one at all."

Meilin laughs, "I'm sure you wouldn't. Why don't we stop at the house."

"Will I get to see the room of the famous Meilin?"

"What are you talking about."

"You don't let anyone in your room, can I go in?"

Meilin sighs, "Oh I guess so."

"Off we go then, this is an event. Seeing Meilin's room, oh boy!" says Ka with excitement.

Meilin smiles and gets off of Ka's lap and heads for the front door.

Madison and Eli are walking down the hall when Meilin bursts through the front door laughing loudly as she hangs off of Ka who is laughing just as hard. Madison and Eli look at each other then back to Meilin and Ka who have stopped laughing seeing Madison and Eli standing there.

"Oh hey guys, sorry for takin' off last night." Says Meilin as she coughs and stands up straight.

"Meilin you have never said you were sorry before so why start now?" says Madison surprised by how Meilin is acting.

"Oh well would you rather this? I'm back, I'm alive, are you both fucking happy?"

Ka elbows Meilin in the side and she looks at him and smiles.

"Well you both seem different this morning." Says Eli.

"Yeah well I'm only here to get my swim suit. We aren't staying." Says Meilin as she starts to walk down the hall.

"That girl and her moods, who knows when they will change." Laughs Ka as he follows her.

Madison and Eli watch them head right for Meilin's room and they see Meilin pull Ka inside. They stand there with their mouths hanging open.

"Holy shit Eli, she let him in her room. Not even me and Sakura have seen inside that room."

"Li never has either. She sure is acting strange."

Meilin pulls Ka into her room and slams the door shut. Ka stumbles in and catches his balance and stands up straight as he looks around the room, amazed at what he sees.

The room is black and blood red. The walls, carpet and curtains are black and Meilin's bed sheets are blood red. All her furniture is black. The curtains are pulled shut allowing no light to pass through them. Along one wall swords, daggers, guns, ninja stars and other fighting weapons hang. Their silver standing out against the black of the wall.

"Wanna see something neat?" asks Meilin as she stands by the light switch.

Ka nods his head and Meilin turns off the light, and thousands of stars light up on the ceiling, and all over the walls is poetry written in Japanese and Chinese.

"Meilin your room is amazing." Says Ka.

"Thanks, I like to think of this as my own little privet escape. A place I can go where no one else is allowed." Says Meilin as she turns the light back on and walks over to her closet.

"Am I allowed in here from now on?"

Meilin stops digging through the closet and steps out to look at Ka, "I hadn't thought about that."

"I like your room, it's peaceful and surprisingly calming."

"I know but what will people think if I start letting you in my room?"

Ka starts laughing, "Meilin since when have you cared about what others think?"

"Oh well, I guess your right."

"Listen Meilin if you don't want to share your room I don't mind."

Meilin walks over to her nightstand and opens the drawer. She pulls out something on a small chain. She walks over to Ka and hangs it around his neck, "Anytime." She whispers before going back to the closet.

Ka watches her go back in search for her swim suit and then he looks own and sees a silver key hanging on the chain. "Meilin are you sure?"

"You want me to take it back?" she calls from the closet.

"I was just making sure it's what you want." Replies Ka as he sits down on the bed. He is surprised at how soft the bed is and the smooth silk sheets and comforter are nice.

"How about this suit?" asks Meilin as she walks out of the closet a moment later wearing a very small and skimpy blood red with black trim bikini.

Ka smiles and nods, "Very nice Meilin."

Meilin pulls her hair out of her ponytails and lets it hang down, she walks over to her dresser and grabs her brush but before she knows what's happening, Ka takes the brush from her hand and starts to brush her hair gently.

"Meilin you have long hair."

"I know, I love it."

Ka finishes brushing her hair and he turns her around, "Wear it down today."

Meilin smiles and grabs a black tank top and a black pair of cotton short shorts. She pulls them on and them put on black flip-flop sandals. She turns around and smiles at Ka, "Ready to go."

Ka puts the key under his shirt and they leave Meilin's room, which she locks behind her. She turns around and bumps right into Ka's back and she looks around him to see what made him stop and sees over half the house standing there watching her and Ka.

"What the fuck are you all staring at?" yells Meilin as she marches down the hall to the bathroom. She walks in and grabs two towels and comes back out into the hall and looks at Ka.

Ka follows Meilin down the hall and outside to his car. They get in and he drives away.

"I hate it when they do that." Mumbles Meilin in the car.

"Well it wasn't very nice but you did have someone in your room."

"My business not theirs."

"Come on Meilin we are going to lounge around in the sun all day and have a great time. Just the two of us."

"Your right. Besides who knows my suit may slip off in the water."

"Ohhhh Meilin don't tease." Whines Ka as he drives for the lake.
