New Plans
~~~~~~~~~~
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters except for Suka and Meinan, so don't sue me.
A/N: Hi everyone! I know I said I wouldn't write if I didn't have at least 10 reviews…wait, actually I just got 10 this week! Cool! Anyways…I'll try to make this story end because I personally don't prefer reading fanfics with a lot of chapters (though some are really good!). Well, please R&R!!!!! ^.^

It was a rainy day when Syaoran woke up. Since he was sleeping on the porch, he felt the rain at midnight. He didn't mind, since it was only sprinkling and he felt so down. Eriol had tried to convince Syaoran not to sleep on the porch, but because of the way Syaoran was feeling, he didn't care where he slept.
"Syaoran, do come in. There's no use crying out in the rain. You might catch a cold," Eriol said when he saw Syaoran huddled in a ball on the porch.
"What's the use? Everyone's gone. There's no point in living anymore. It's impossible now," Syaoran muttered in frustration.
"Of course there's a way. There's always a way. Tomoyo loves Sakura just as much (as a friend of course). She's not crying," Eriol reasoned.
"I suppose you're right. Plus, Sakura would never want me to cry," Syaoran agreed.
"You're forgetting something, Syaoran. As much as you like Sakura, you have to think about Meiling too."
"But I do, except she doesn't jump into my head as fast as Sakura does," Syaoran said, hating himself for not thinking about Meiling. After all, she is his cousin.
"Hey, come in first. Meinan is already making breakfast. We'll think of something, though I don't remember the prophecy saying that 2 will join the dark side," Eriol sighed. They walked downstairs to smell freshly made pancakes. Hearing Kero munching on food, Syaoran smiled. Even though Kero was a stuffed animal (in Syaoran's POV), Syaoran couldn't help but have respect for the little "toy" that was always hungry for food.
"Morning Syaoran!" everyone said to him, hoping it would cheer him up at least a bit.
"Morning," Syaoran said glumly.
"Come on, Syaoran, cheer up. We'll get them back, the prophecy says so!" Tomoyo said.
"Yeah, but it also said 'six will go on the quest, five will return.' I'm going to lose one of them," Syaoran said.
"Stop thinking on the negative side, gaki! We're going to get Sakura back. We just need a plan," Kero said, angry at Syaoran's negative attitude.
"You know he's right, Syaoran," Eriol said.
"Yeah, so what are we going to do? Go in and kill Suka?" Syaoran said skeptically.
"Of course we gotta kill him somehow. That's what we're supposed to do. 'Destroy the evil world, kill the evil one'" Meinan quoted. "First we have to go back to Suka's world. Let's think of the prophecy again. 'Six will go on the quest, five will return….' Meiling might not come back, but I may not either. After all, Suka and I started this whole thing, so I think it's reasonable if I was the one who didn't return."
"But you can't make it that way," Tomoyo pointed out. "It's just fate. Even if you want to stay, the person destined to stay will stay, and everyone else will come back."
"It sounds to me like you're saying that Meiling is the one who will stay?" Syaoran asked angrily.
"Hey, lets stop trying to guess who's staying or not. First thing is first, we need to figure out a way to get Sakura back," Eriol said.
"So how are you doing, Meiling?" Suka laughed.
"I should never have fallen for your stupid trick!" spat Meiling. Her hands and feet were tied to the wall by chains, just like the other creatures that fought for Suka earlier. "Now I'm a slave of yours. Well, no matter how you force me, I won't do whatever you say."
"Are you sure? I'm thinking of brainwashing you. Even though the brainwashing process takes a lot of effort, I don't want you to tell your little friends stuff that's been happening around here," Suka said in consideration.
"My Syaoran will come and get you, Suka!" Meiling shouted.
"YOUR Syaoran? What makes you say that so easily? All he has in that small head of his is Sakura."
"That's not true. He loves me just as much!" Meiling cried out.
"He loves you as a cousin," Suka reminded. "You think this over before you lose that piece of memory. Is Syaoran really 'yours" or is he Sakura's?"
"Why you—" Meiling started to say, but Suka responded with a crack of the whip.
"You say one more thing, brat, and I'll whip you until your joints come off! I have no time for pesky brats like you. I must go on training my new recruits. Heck, I'll just kill you instead of brainwashing you. You're not much use to me anyways. The only use you provide for me is to weaken that gaki, Syaoran, but I can think of other ways to weaken him rather than brainwashing you. Servants, torture this girl whenever any of you feel like it!"
"Suka dear, don't treat her so badly. After all, she's one of us, isn't she? An innocent girl." A beautiful girl about the age of 16 walked up to Suka. She was dressed in a light pink dress. Her eyes, though beautifully emerald, were lifeless.
"Honey, I told you not to come here. It's not safe for you. These crazy monsters need to be trained. Plus, this is no place for a queen to be in. It's so dirty and bloody here."
"It's OK. I could stand it. But can you let this one go? She looks so innocent and…nice." She gasped when she said the word "nice."
"Now Meika, it's OK to use the word 'nice' sometimes, though don't use it too much. I'll promise you I'll let this one go. Why don't you go and think about how we'll take over the world?"
"Yes Suka dear." The girl smiled and walked away. Her smile, too, was lifeless.
"Meika? Where'd you get that name? What'd you do with the old Sakura? This girl is just an empty body shell. She has no life in her eyes or her smile. She even talks as if she doesn't have a soul." Meiling laughed at the new name. Even though she hated Sakura for "stealing" Syaoran away, she felt sorry for her.
"Well, Meika is the mixture of the names of Meinan and mine. No, I don't think of Meinan. It's just I couldn't think of anything. Anyways, people who just got brainwashed are like that for a little while. Like it? It may be you next," Suka said wickedly.
"I thought you said you were going to kill me," Meiling said.
"Well, you heard what Meika said."
"Oh, so now Sakura controls you, huh?" Meiling smiled.
"It's Meika! Sakura does not exist anymore! Don't think I won't kill you. I could, you know. Meika would never know," Suka smirked.
"Whatever. But it's OK if you do kill me. Think about it. In the prophecy, one of the six will stay in this world. If you kill me, you're actually helping us. Thank you, thank you," Meiling said.
Suka quickly advanced on Meiling. He grabbed her hair, making her scream in pain. "You won't be talking so smartly when I'm done with you! You'll see. In fact, I have an idea. I'll make a voodoo doll of you. Yes, perfect. You'll be pleading for death. Yes, I'm a genius. Hahahahaha!" With that, Suka violently pulled a few strands of Meiling's hair out. "Thanks for these strands of hair, the voodoo doll will be born! Wait until the other ones come. I'll get all their hair and make voodoo dolls for all of them! Muahahahaha!" Laughing crazily, Suka skipped out of the dungeon.
"Why don't we just bust into Suka's little idiotic world and kill him?" Syaoran asked impatiently. Their "meeting" had been going on for hours and nothing had been decided yet.
"As I've said before, Sakura is with Suka now. We'll never be able to defeat them. Plus, we're way outnumbered. We should just—"
"Just what? Leave Sakura there?" Syaoran interrupted Tomoyo.
"Li Syaoran. For heavens sake, do calm down. You're not the only one who loves Sakura. We all do, and Tomoyo once loved Sakura the same way you love her now. We need cooperation. What will Suka think if he hears our conversation? He'll laugh and believe that he's way stronger than us. That's not what we want, now is it?" Eriol was always the one with the most sense.
"That's it, Eriol! We could go into the world and pretend to argue with each other. Suka won't suspect a thing! Then we'll catch him when he's not ready. We'll get him when he sends his little 'army' away because he'll think he won't need his army to fight us!" Meinan was always the one with the most ideas.
"Great thinking! What are we waiting for? Let's go!"
"Gosh Syaoran, don't you ever think? We'll need a plan too, in case something goes wrong. You're really smart, so why don't you help us a bit instead of worrying, OK?" Tomoyo sighed. Syaoran shrugged but agreed. Another hour passed, but this time, they had a plan. They were ready to go save Sakura.
OK, this may not have been too great. I have no idea how they're going to defeat Suka. Maybe Meinan forgot a part of the prophecy? Well, thank you for reading. Please review!!!
