Chapter 4
A/N- Guess what! I actually got a few reviews on this mediocre story of mine!
It boosted my self esteem infinitely and that is why I'm dedicating this
chapter to Syaoran .K.a.w.a.i.i
and DaNcInGFiRe. THANK YOU!!!
What lay before her was a Huggies bed pad, used by children with bed-wetting
problems. Meilin burst into a fit of giggles.
"She wets the bed!?!??" Meilin calmed down
and searched the rest of the room, careful to put back everything just the way
it was. Then another idea struck her. Here she was in the chosen card captor's
room with nothing between her and the Clow book and
all the cards! It took only a second to find the drawer with the Clow book. She was quickly stuffing it into her bag when
another thought hit her. Where is that obnoxious yellow bear that's always
flying around?
"What do you
think you're doing?" Kero asked. Meilin spun around, "where did you come from?"
That's none of your business, what are doing with Sakura's Clow
book? You were going to steal it, weren't you?" "I…er…yes", Meilin confessed,
not being able to come up with an excuse. "But you're not going to tell
anyone." And with that, she slammed the Clow
Book down over his head, knocking him out. Perhaps that was overkill, but he
could've caused real damage for me! Picking up both the book and its
guardian, she dumped them into her bag and headed downstairs. She was not a
moment too soon for once she had reached the bottom of the stairs, Sakura
walked in through the door.
"Um, let's get
started on that food, shall we?"
Tomoyo packed her
most powerful camera battery and a couple extra tapes. On top of that, she
added a few of her newest designs for Sakura, then
left the mansion. She couldn't wait to see Sakura in these designs. She planned
on staying later than Syaoran so she could have
Sakura all to herself. I especially can't wait to see her in the one with
the lacy top! Upon arriving at Sakura's house, Tomoyo
let herself in without knocking. They were close enough friends that she could
do that. Following the smell of steaming vegetables, she walked into the
kitchen. "Ah! That smells great! Sakura you're such a good…hey! What are
you doing here?" Indeed, it was Meilin, not
Sakura who was at the stove. "Is that how you greet everyone you
meet?" "I thought you had to be somewhere!" Tomoyo
was obviously openly opposed to Meilin. Obviously.
"Oh hey Tomoyo!" Sakura walked in, oblivious as to what
was going on. Or maybe she was just stupid.
Twenty minutes
later the food was ready and the table was set. "Great! That just leaves Syaoran!" Sakura looked really anxious to see him. I
hope he wears those shorts that make his butt look tight! Meilin had to turn around to hide the grimace on her face.
Just at that moment, the doorbell rang and Sakura dashed to the door to answer.
"Oh Syaoran! You're
finally here!" Look what I made us for lunch!" I resent that!
After all, I did most of the cooking! Syaoran had
just entered the hallway when he noticed Meilin, standing
with her arms crossed.
"What are you doing
here?!?!?" Joy. I'm just so loved aren't I. Meilin walked over to Syaoran.
"Incidentally, that little thing I had to go to was canceled. Funny
coincidence isn't it?" Her voice was voice was dripping with sarcasm.
"Shall we eat?"
Syaoran looked like someone had just stolen candy from him.
Then he remembered the flowers in his hand. "Er,
these are for you", he handed them to Sakura, blushing. "They're
peach blossoms. Just like your name." Syaoran
puffed out his chest. Meilin resisted the
overpowering urge to vomit. "Peach blossoms?",
Sakura looked very confused. "Yep, I, heh heh, aim to please.", replied
Syaoran, remembering the line the florist had used.
"YOU IDIOT!!!", Tomoyo
screeched, "SAKURA MEANS CHERRY BLOSSOM!!! YOU BOUGHT THE WRONG
FLOWERS!!!" Syaoran looked down at the bouquet,
"Oops."
Meilin took over. "Cool your jets Tomoyo,
they're just flowers." If looks could kill, Meilin
would've been dead on the spot. "How about we eat.",
Sakura suggested, using her incredible ability to become invincible to outside
conversation at its best.
The conversation around the table was stiff
and forced. Everyone was acting just a bit too polite to be natural. This
seemed like a perfect opportunity for Meilin to delve
into their minds and find out what was really going on.
A/N- Ah alas! The end of another chapter. Well, you don't have to be that happy about it. What will happen next? What is going on inside everyone's head? Perhaps we will see a little more of what-er-who Tomoyo is in the next chapter. But who knows, cuz I haven't even written the damn thing yet…But I will! I promise! Just send reviews. If you don't agree with something or you have a fantastic idea for any upcoming chapters, I would like to hear them. Read them, I mean. Just stick them in your reviews! BYE!
