A.N. Okay peeps, chapter 2! I'm sick, and I'm missing my HOMECOMING so I decided to write instead! Oh well, hee hee, let's continue! I am SO SORRY that I HAVEN'T UPDATED, I FEEL SO BAD!
Special Thanks to: Kirjava-chan- I'm so glad you enjoyed it! ^____^
Lady Kazune Kikenshi- I'm glad you liked it too, and I'm glad I got you attention, you'll find out soon!
ginny- We all LOVE them! They're too adorable! (hugs Syao-chan plushie)
The Moon's Angelz- Hey, I'm waiting hee hee! I'm glad you like, and hope to tell you soon with updates!
A.N: Okay, in my story Meilin is Syaoran's best friend from Japan, so she is not related to Li in any way. Also, many people's have magic, but there are no clow cards, and I might put Kero in Yue in here somewhere. Also, Li belongs to a family corporation, not a clan. I think that's about it. Oh, and this will be in Syaoran's POV, unless otherwise it will be in 3rd person. Any notes, no more. Oh, and it might be in Liao's POV, too later!
Disclaimer: I want to be SUED! So I own CCS! (please note my sarcasm here....)

Chapter 2: It's Been Two Years...
Italics=Thinking
Quotes="Talking"
************************************************
I wake up to the morning light, thinking about my past. I have Liao now, but you can't help by reminisce the memories. It's been three years since she left, no word whatsoever, and I continue to live my life. I'm Li Xiao Lang, heir to the family Li Corporation in Hong Kong, but it's just to bad. Just 10 months ago, Li Corp. went bankrupt, meaning I have no money. Fanren, Sheifa and Fuutie died in a car crash just 6 months ago, so my mom had to pay for the funeral with what money she had left from the company. Then she's been dishing it out to me after my fiancée left to who knows where. Even though we were young, we had Liao Li at 18 years old, and we were engaged to marry in the spring. The family knows nothing about Liao, or I would have known. We wanted to keep it a secret about the pregnancy, so we decided to tell them at the wedding, which never happened.
Liao comes bouncing it my room, it's a small room, with green. I always loved green, it's a fresh and lively color.
"Daddy, lookie!!!" She walks into the room with a smile on her face.
"What sweetie?" I say. She's so adorable, so cute at 3 years old.
"Sun, sun, pweetie!" Liao points at the window.
"Yes sweetie, very pretty, but you're more cuter!"
"Aw, tanks Daddy!" Liao looks at me with such amazement. She speaks chinese very well, started at 5 months. He first word was 'Daddy.' I was so happy. And she learned to walk at 3 months, who knew she could. She wanted some cookies on the table, and just walked over. I love her to death, she so sweet. She doesn't question about mommy, so far, I hope. She might later, but I hope I don't have to explain it to her that her mom abandon us. Liao blinks her amber eyes at me. And he chocolate hair grows fast, it's like mine, the same color. She looks nothing like her mother, only that she is a female. I don't like to think about.....her. It's painful.
"C'mon, let's got some breakfast." We live in a shabby apartment. I only afford so much being a martial arts teacher. I have to pay food, baby things, daycare, and the fee on my car. It's hard, but we manage. I let he see he grandma and he aunt so much though, she loves them dearly, though I wish she could she my dad and my other three sisters....
"What do you want?" I ask her. She can be so picky. She hates her vegetables except corn, and hates most fruits, but loves PB&Js.
"PB&J! PB&J!" I should have known. Every morning she asked for that. We stock up with tons of peanut butter, bread and many jams and marmalades.
"What kind?"
"Twoasted, chunkry, and strawbewwy!" I swear that's her favorite combination. I made it quick, and then I made my own. I wasn't a favorite of PB&J, but hey, it grows on you after you child starts to get teeth. I swear, she's growing to fast for me. I grabbed her hand and the plate and headed over to the green couch in the tiny living room. It's my favorite room, I have many chinese artifacts in there, plus my stash of magic books. I only feel my aura though, I haven't learned to detect others, though I know offensive magic at 21. Me, a magic-filled martial artist who is a single dad can't even detect auras, sad really.
We settle onto the couch, and I turned on the TV. I look at the clock, and I notice it's 2 pm. I never wake up so late on a Sunday morning, usually, I go to the local buddhist temple and do what I normally do on Sunday.
"Daddy, me hungwry!" I saw the look in her amber eyes, like mine, and I give her the sandwich. I tell her, "Don't make a mess." She nods at me, and I go to see what's on TV.
" New, on CET, the discovery of some of Japan's top career line-ups....." I was about to change the channel when I see the list of names, SAKURA? TOMOYO? NARYA? MEILIN? Okay, now I know the world was corrupted. I'm actually listening to a TV talking about the rich and the famous, that was new.
"This year's new line-ups. Sakura Kinomoto, she's the newest model of all Japan. With her new contract, this brown haired, emerald eyed girl is in with the latest styles done by the top designs in the world." I look, she's grown more, and her hair is still long, down to her mid-back. I think of so things, then I hear Tomoyo's name.
"Tomoyo Daidouji, the number one lawyer of all time. She won all her cases. After graduating earlier than the usual person, this dark beauty rates great." I stare at Tomoyo. I never knew she wanted to be a lawyer? This is different. Hr hair is done to her butt, she grew it longer, and she still has those mysterious eyes.....
"........Meilin Rae, the top doctor, also................" I tuned her out. The picture, Meilin is still the same, long black hair in two buns and those fiery red eyes, so full of passion. I'm in memory lane here....
"Narya Kung, the famous inventor of Chaozi, the new food crave in Japan. She was originally from China, but moved to Japan...." Okay, now I knew this was on purpose, Buddha was torturing me, I'm a goner. My old peeps and my fiancée is on TV in Japan........
Okay, I was surprised by all the news. I never knew, I lost touch with everyone. I only know a few good people that I'm close with in China. AND my 'fiancée' appears on TV, and I find out she leaves me for Japan. Why? Because I'm not good enough, was she not ready to be a mother? Did she hate me or Liao, I'm still confused to this day.... Everyone's so successful, and I'm stuck here, but I could care less now that I have a daughter to love. I'm a bit awestruck, then I feel Liao tug at my pajama legs.
"Yes sweetie?" I try to sound nice though I'm not in the mood.
"I finished!" She cries, she cheers me up at 1 year old. I can tell she takes after me.
"That's great." Then I hear a knock on the door. I go over to it, and I see FeiMei.
"Hey Feimei! How's it going?" I haven't seen her in a month. He hair is the same and so are her eyes, but she looks a bit pale, hm...
"Nothing, but I was wondering if I could take Liao to the amusement park with Ling, I have nothing better to do." She smiles, though I think she's sad.
"Sure, I don't see why not. Let me get her dressed."
"You can come too."
"Naw, I think I'll stay. I'll practice later, but I'm tired. Can she spend the night.?"
"Sure, Ling loves little Liao." I go and talk Liao into going, to she wanted to anyway. I dress her in this cute green jumper that I love and packed a bag for her. Then five minutes later, she's ready. I hand her over and she gives me a small, loving hug. I wave good-bye, and close the door.
I know it's only 4, but I'm tired, so I'm going to sleep. I still can't believe what I saw today, oh well, that's another day to dwell on later.........
