~*!*~Chapter 7: Meilin's arrival - uh oh!~*!*~
~*!*~Syaoran's P.O.V~*!*~
"How you feeling Sakura?" I asked as I walked into her bedroom with breakfast. It had already been three days and she was recovering quicker than I thought.
"I feel weak." She replied and I grew worried.
"You ill? Do - Do you need a doctor? Would you like me to call Doctor Anderson? Where does it hurt? What's wrong? Are you going to answer me?" I asked.
Sakura nearly suffocated from holding her laughter in.
"I was going to say I feel weak in my legs since I haven't got out of this darn bed for, what seems like, centuries." She laughed and I sighed with relief.
"You seriously scared me for a minute there. Anyway, who did this to you in the first place?" I asked and Sakura's expression changed dramatically. From happiness into fear.
~*!*~Sakura's P.O.V~*!*~
"Um, uh, do we have to talk about this Syaoran? I don't want to talk about it. Besides I'm putting it behind me, I want to forget this ever happened. You don't need to know. It's nothing, really!" I quickly replied.
Syaoran raised his eyebrows, "I can tell when you're lieing Sakura. What are you trying to hide?"
"Seriously it's nothing! So how's school." I tried to change the subject as quickly as I could.
"Sakura . . ." Syaoran sighed.
"What?" I asked.
"What if they try to kill you again? Would you seriously keep the person a secret and risk your life? That's pretty stubborn if you ask me." Syaoran said.
"Well . . . Well . . . I'll be more careful next time. Trust me! I used to learn self-defence believe it or not."
Syaoran rolled his eyes, obviously not believing me.
"I'm serious Syaoran! It's just a skill that I haven't mastered yet. Girls don't fight! It's too masculine." I said and someone slammed the door open.
"Are you calling me a boy!" A girl with black hair tied into two buns with the left over hair hanging down to her waist. (A/N: Guess who decided to drop in)
"Huh?" I asked confused.
"Darling Cousin! I haven't seen you for a long time!" The girl exclaimed and her expression became all warm and nice as she gave Syaoran a hug.
"Get offa me Meilin!" I heard him mumble.
"So back to you sweet heart." She said sarcastically, "Who do you think you are calling me a boy? Honey, I would seriously kick your ass back to Japan if you don't watch that little mouth of yours."
I didn't reply, obviously a bit scared of this cousin of Syaoran's.
"Meilin! You have a temper! This is a guest and she is kind of healing from a big injury so I don't think we need this tough attitude right now okay?" Syaoran asked and Meilin shutted up.
"But you heard what she said. She pratically called me a boy! Do I look like a boy to you?" Meilin asked.
"Yes." I heard Syaoran mumble but unfortunately Meilin had overhead and her hands were on Syaoran's neck.
"Say that again!"
"I can't breathe! Meilin!!!" Syaoran choked out.
~*!*~Syaoran's P.O.V~*!*~
I pushed Meilin off.
"God, if you strangled someone in the dark, by your strength, they probably WILL think you're a bloody boy."
Meilin was about to punch me when Sakura interrupted.
"Sorry if I offended you or anything but I was just saying, in my opinion, fighting is a boy's thing. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings or whatever."
Meilin shot Sakura an evil glare.
"Well next time keep those opinions of yours to yourself." She said and poked her on the arm. Sakura winced in pain and nearly fainted.
"Sakura, are you okay? . . . MEILIN!" I shouted and Meilin backed away against a wall.
"What did I do? Am I really that strong?" She asked. (A/N Syaoran and Sakura fell over anime style.)
"She's injured for god sakes!" I spitted out at Meilin.
"I didn't know, I'm sorry."
"It's okay." Sakura smiled which made Meilin smile as well.
"How did you get injured so badley?" Meilin asked her.
"Oh just these people that hate me. Yer, no big deal."
"When I find out who, I swear, I'm going to kick their arse back to Japan!" Meilin shouted.
"What's with you and Japan?" Syaoran asked and Sakura giggled.
"I don't know, I'm just on a roll."
Suddenly the phone started ringing.
"I'll get it!" Meilin said and ran to the phone before I could get to it.
"Hello? . . . Yes she is here . . . yes he's right beside her . . . okay wait a sec." Meilin said and held up the phone, "It's for you Sakura. Some guy." She said with a giggle, "Must have serious crush on you."
~*!*~Sakura's P.O.V~*!*~
"Hello Sakura speaking." I answered.
"Sakura, what a miracle you're still alive." A male's voice that I knew too well replied.
My face became stern . . .
It was Mark
"What do you want?" I asked in a low, threatening voice.
"I want a martial arts match with you, today at noon. At the Hotaru Garden. You better show up."
"And what if I don't?" I asked.
"Then you can say bye bye to your family."
"You leave my family out of this!" I shouted.
"Too bad, it's either you show up or my people, that's in Japan right now, will kill your father and brother, the same way my father killed your mother!" He laughed.
"Fine, I'll be there." I replied, "But why would you want to fight with me. I don't know how to fight."
"Don't play dumb with me Sakura. I know you can fight. I have no idea why you didn't use your skills while we attacked you."
"Because it was a sneak attack and I wasn't ready. Plus there was three of you, one of me. Not mentioning that weird knife of yours. You would of never beat me if it wasn't for the other two you dirty old hag."
"Don't give me attitude girl. I'll be meeting you there." Mark said and hung up.
"Who was that?" Syaoran asked suspiciously.
"Oh, it was my brother calling from Japan. He's such a pain in the arse." I lied.
"Oh, okay." Syaoran said.
"Yer, anyway . . . I feel much better now. I'll think I'll go and take a walk." I said and jumped out of bed, not caring about the fact that I was standing infront of Syaoran with my pyjamas on.
"Sakura, do you mind?" Syaoran asked while covering his eyes and Meilin turned to look at the wall.
"So immature. I mean it's not like I'm naked. I'm still clothed." I stated as I started getting changed.
"What do you want me to look or something?"
"NO!" I shouted and I heard him chuckle.
"Now you can look." I said as I put on my white jacket.
"Well, I'll see you guys later. It's such a beautiful day for a walk don't you reckon? Yes, beautiful . . . **sigh** well I better be going. Good day to both of you and good bye." I said quickly with a fake smile on my face and headed towards the front door.
~*!*~Syaoran's P.O.V~*!*~
I watched Sakura walk out of the house from the window.
"Something tells me that Sakura isn't telling the truth." I said and Meilin nodded.
"I agree with you completely." Meilin nodded.
"What do you think she's up to?" I asked.
"No good. I mean did you hear her voice while she was talking to her so called 'brother' on the phone. Talk about sibling rivalry to your largest imagination."
"We should follow her." I suggested.
"Yer, but we should also keep a distance. She probably wouldn't tell us for a good reason."
"Good idea." I agreed and got my jacket. "Let's go."
~*!*~Sakura's P.O.V~*!*~
"12 on the dot." I mumbled as I waited for Mark to show up.
"Sakura, how lovely to see you in such FINE condition." A voice said sarcastically behind me and I turned around quickly.
"Damn it Mark! You nearly corrupted my life for crying out loud."
"That's what I was intending to do." He snickered.
"So let's get this over and done with." I sighed and he nodded and laughed.
"Yup, over and done with forever!" He said as Kiara and Leesa stepped out from behind him.
"I thought this was a one on one combat." I said.
"It was. But when you hinted that it was a disadvantage to you if you faced all three of us plus the knife than I thought you wouldn't stand a chance now. Seeing in the weak stage you're at."
I growled. "Go to hell!" I shouted and threw a punch at Mark.
"Fiesty!" Mark shouted and blocked my punch. "I absolutely HATE feisty girls." He said and twisted my arm behind my back.
"Now i suggest you NOT to scream." Mark said as he pulled the knife towards my neck.
"Let go of her you vicious creep!" A girl's voice screamed nearby.
"Who's there?' Mark asked and he wasn't focused anymore so I elbowed him in the stomache and kicked him across the face.
"You touch one strand of her hair and I'm going to kick your arse all the way back to Japan!" The voice said again and I noticed who it was.
. . . Meilin.
"Show your face girl!" Kiara shouted and Meilin summersaulted off a tree.
"Bitch! I would back off if I was you cause I can kick your arse all the way to Japan if you're not careful." Meilin said.
"Meilin, you're impossible!" A male's voice said from the tree top. It was Syaoran.
He jumped down next to Meilin.
"What are you doing protecting her? You should be here with me gorgeous!" Leesa said.
"Don't be a flirt to MY cousin you little bitch cause I'll kick your arse . . . "
"All the way back to Japan?" Leesa asked sarcastically, "I know! What's wih you and Japan, you rascist or something and girl, I'm from Hong Kong."
Meilin opened her mouth and then shutted it. "You watch you're mouth . . . I'll kick your arse back to . . . "
"Meilin give it a rest." Syaoran said and placed his finger on his forehead.
"I was going to say hell that time. Anyway can we just cut this shit and beat the hell out of these people?" Meilin asked.
"Whatever. Sakura you stand away, we'll take care of this." Syaoran said and I shook my head.
"No, this is my fight as well." I said and Syaoran shrugged.
"If you say so."
"So Mark. You want to play unfair? Well two can play that game." I snickered
"Die bitch!" Mark said and took out three knives and threw them at me.
"Sakura, watch out!" Syaoran called out.
"Not this time asshole!" I shouted and backflipped and kicked the knives away.
~*!*~Syaoran's P.O.V~*!*~
"What the?" I exclaimed.
"100% what the?" Leesa and Kiara wondered with a confused look.
I saw the knives rebound of a tree and head back to Sakura.
"Sakura -" I started to warn her about the knives but apparently she already knew. She had planned for it to rebound back so she could catch them with her fingertips.
"Right back at you. Die dickhead!" She shouted and threw it straight back at Mark.
"Retreat!" Mark shouted and they jumped onto a roof.
"We'll be back." Mark shouted as the three of them ran off.
"Chickens!" Meilin laughed.
I looked at Sakura with a confused look. "You got any secrets or talents up your sleeve cause I would like to know everything and not piece by piece like a jigsaw puzzle.
~*!*~Sakura's P.O.V~*!*~
"Well it's a long story." I stated.
"I've got time."
"One problem"
"What?" He asked.
"I don't remember the story."
Syaoran fell over anime style and Sakura and Meilin laughed their head offs.
