Quote of the Chappie: To do great inportant tasks, two things are necessary: a plan and not quite enough time ~anonymous


Thankies to: Lady Kazune Kikenshi-Yay, you like! K0orI cHaN-I'm so glad you like this, SUGOI! Sakura-jr17- Arigato! I feel so LOVED right now!!!! Kita-Gomen nasai, but you'll have to wait to find out who the mother is! And then you'll see WHY I need them!


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....)

" Hey dad, I'm home!" I hear some shuffling in the back from where I am.


" Hey sweetie, come in the den." I hear her coming, even though I knew her aura, still, it's an act to be normal even if that's not very possible.


"Hey dad, how are you? School was great! I got an A in Honors Biology again, it's too easy. Hey, and I also got to go to Miyu's later, you know, hang out?" Ha, that's Liao for you. She's wonderful for a 14 year old daughter attending a great public school. She's so beautiful, but hey, I'm biased, I AM her father!


"That's great sweetie. It's fine with me, I know you'll finish you're homework, so go right ahead."


"Thankies DAD! I love ya so much, you're so understanding. My friends are so jealous of you, hee hee!" I love to hear that giggle. She's too cute. She has chocolate hair like mine that she got layered at little past her shoulders. And her eyes, they're amber, like mine. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if she picked up her mother's genes, but I love her this way. She's tall, and very tannish, and lanky, but has a good figure, I guess. Dads just don't do that. And her personality is the best. She's polite, and understanding, and I've never really had to raise my voice at her. She's very smart, and obedient, and friendly, I guess she gets that from her mother, she's also very strong.


"Hey dad, we're going to the skatepark, all right? And then, we can train again, I need more help." I nodded to her, as I read my book. It's great really, in Chinese. She's in love with her skateboard, always had, always will. And her boyfriend supported it. She hasn't had one in a while, but still, my Liao's growing up.


See, we still live in China. Liao goes to Xien Xie High in the HK, and I'm still president of Li Corps, which is doing great by the way. Hey, what else is to know? I'm getting older, but everyone STILL says I look TOO young for my age. I don't FEEL like it though. I'm starting to feel 30 creep around the corner, and it's not easy raising a HYPER daughter either. You can tell she gets that from my sisters....


Lately, my training with magic is starting to end. I've almost taught Liao everything I know, she's so skillful. I don't know what the purpose of us having magic is for, but it's there, and I'm bound to find out why. I'm starting to develop a new technique, to summon mythical creatures, at least, only the KIND ones, hehe.


You know? I have nothing to say, life's been good. Liao HAS asked about her mother, but I tell her that she abandoned us. She understands, thank Buddha I didn't have to say anything, but it still pains me.


It's around 4pm now, just checking my paperwork, I DO have work tomorrow, after all, it's a Monday.


I hear Liao come down the stairs. She walked by in her yellow halter top with a white striped yellow adidas jacket. She wears yellow baggy jeans and some yellow striped adidas with the wide mouth and all. She carries her 27th board, one she created with magic. It's has a great grip and ALWAYS stays waxed and the bottom is Yellow with Golden suns and silver moons. She always loved the sun and the moon.


"Hey dad, I'm heading out." I notice that she was wearing a Gold belly ring and earrings. Yes, I did let her pierce them. She's responsible, and she wants to, that's her problem. I support her fully.


" Love the blonde highlights." Yes, that. She dyed it yellow again, I swear she's obsessed with yellow, gold, chiffon, any variation of YELLOW!


"Thanks." Then we heard a knocking at the door. "I'll get it. I'll be out anyway." She opens the door, and a tall man with black suit walked in the room, uninvited.


"Is Mr. Li in?" He bellowed. Man, that did it, my ears hurt. Gosh, I'm right here.


"Yes, he is what can I do for you?" I come walking in, hey, he wants me, he's got me.


" Yes, Mr. Li. I'm here on the behalf of Mrs. Li."


I was truly shocked. What would SHE want? "I'm not married."


"No, she wants to keep it confidential. She's suing you."


"WHAT?!?!?!" I hear Liao scream. "Why?!?!?!"


"For the custody of Ms. Liao MingSong Li."


"Why would she want her now? She left, and I've taking care of her years on end, plus loved her unconditionally. Now she wants to WALTZ in her life. I bet this is for PUBLICITY!!!! She isn't having her." I'm steaming mad! She's such a spoiled, conniving, BITCH!!!


" Sorry, but I only give it out. I'm her lawyer."


"Well, be prepared to meet mine. Good day." I take the papers, and guide him to the door just to slam it in his face. This is uncalled for!


I notice Liao. "Liao sweetie, come here, you might have to put your plans on hold."


She walks over, and we got to the couch. She stares at me, so surprised. I don't know what to say.....


"Papa, who's my mother?" The dreaded question I tried to avoid. I never thought it would come to this, or maybe at least in the FAR future. But not now, and not this way.....


"Liao, sweetie. This is hard for me." I paused, preparing to give her my life story. "Liao, you're mother is VERY famous. You've seen her on TV so many times. And she was my childhood friend. Liao, understand the tale I'm going to tell you, and then you'll know why I don't speak of her. Sweetie, your mother is................"
