KERO! sigh Stuffed animals...how does Sakura put up with him...what a tattletale... anyway, on with the chapter! I hope you enjoy -
Chapter Three: Everything Is Revealed
"Meiling!" Yelan, Syaroan's mother, called briskly, heading up the stairs to Meiling's house. "Meiling! Come on, Meiling, wake up!"
Meiling opened her eyes. "Yes, Aunt?" she asked happily. "What's wrong?"
"You made Syaroan in love with Tomoyo?" she asked breathlessly. "What did you do, girl? Explain."
Meiling blushed sheepishly. "Well, you see, we all had our adventures, you know what I mean. But remember when Syaroan came back?" she asked. "Then Syaroan kept thinking about Sakura and kept wishing to be around her. I couldn't stand it, Aunt. It drove me crazy!" she exclaimed.
"So?" Yelan protested.
"I only wanted him to be happy," Meiling insisted. "I really only did, but the whole thing went up into ashes. I made a spell so that he would fall in love with the first person he saw," she explained. "I hid a picture of myself in his pocket. Unfortunately, so was Tomoyo's cell phone that she gave him, to contact Sakura if necessary. Since Chinese and Japanese syllables are different I read out the wrong spell and he took out the cell phone and immediately thought of Tomoyo, falling in love with her instead."
"And?" Yelan said firmly.
"Of course, don't worry, the batteries were out, he didn't get in trouble," Meiling reassured Yelan. "It doesn't work like that," Yelan said briskly, but Meiling shrugged and went on.
"So," Meiling said, continuing, as Yelan began to look bored, "Syaroan flew into Tomoeda, bought batteries," she added with a small laugh, "and then Syaroan made the booking at Tomoyo's house and..."
Yelan gave Meiling an even ruder look. Meiling snorted, then paled at Yelan's horrified stare. "Gomen, gomen," she said quickly. "Anyway, where were we?" she asked, trying not to laugh.
"Syaroan, my son, made a booking at this rich cameralady's house," Yelan said briskly.
Meiling sensed Yelan's impatience and tried to hurry on. "Yes, yes," she added hastily. "Mrs. Daidouji agreed because she's met Syaroan before."
"The cameralady's mother agreed?" Yelan said, shocked. "Despicable."
"That mother runs the Daidouji Toy Company," Meiling shot back. "Syaroan loved those wolf toys."
"You know why," Yelan said hotly. Meiling sighed. "Stop trying to interfere!" Yelan exclaimed. "What happened next, girl?"
Meiling shrugged. "Basically he went to Tomoeda High one day and tried to reunite with Tomoyo yesterday."
"And Sakura's heart is broken?" Yelan said, angry. "You know how much that girl means to the Li clan."
"Absolutely nothing?" Meiling suggested. Yelan gave Meiling a dirty grim look, the worst of them all.
"The girl captured the cards. This means power, it would be lovely for Syaroan to marry that cherry-blossom girl," Yelan said. "You're such an interfering little girl, Meiling."
Meiling was horrified. "Well now I have magic!" she cried. "I can do whatever I want."
"But you can't reverse the spell," Yelan said. "Syaroan isn't even in Hong Kong. He's in Japan now."
Meiling realized what this meant.
"You'll have to ask Sakura for help," Yelan replied. "Or else once Syaroan marries Tomoyo, the spell can never be broken again."
Meiling paled. "OK then, Aunt. Thank you for your advice."
"Ring Sakura," Yelan added. She snapped her fingers. A piece of paper floated onto Meiling's desk.
"Sakura's phone number. Don't forget," she said hastily. Then she left, almost delighted to leave.
Meanwhile, back in Tomoeda
"I don't believe this," Sakura cried the next day. "He still keeps avoiding me!"
"Gomen, Sakura-chan," Tomoyo said. (AN: In case you haven't noticed, "gomen" means "sorry".) "He keeps trying to play with me," Tomoyo sighed. "And he's living in my house, and my mother can't have a clue about it. I don't want Syaroan to be homeless. That'll be even worse for you, Sakura- chan."
"At least we can figure it out while he's still here, right?" Sakura said bleakly. "Oh, it's practically useless!" she cried frustratedly. "Syaroan!" she called. "Syaroan, come over here!"
"Don't call me Syaroan, Sakura. I want Tomoyo-chan to call me Syaroan-kun, not you."
Sakura blushed. He even called her Tomoyo-chan! she thought.
She desperately ran into the nearest rest rooms and wiped her eyes.
Just then her cell phone rang. The one Tomoyo gave her.
"Hello?" she asked. "Sakura Kinomoto here," she said, trying to sound like the normal Sakura.
"Hi, Sakura," said a familiar voice.
"Meiling-chan!" Sakura said gratefully. "I haven't heard from you in ages."
Meiling's voice turned to a sniffle to a sob to a wail as she quickly told Sakura her story. "And I can't reverse the spell!" she said unhappily, looking miserable. "There's absolutely nothing to be done."
"I can help," Sakura sighed reluctantly. "I know. The Hope card. The one I created after Syaroan left. Maybe I can use it."
"How?" Meiling said bitterly. "I don't even know if your magic will work anymore."
"I'll try," Sakura promised. "I have to get Syaroan out of this mess." She wiped her eyes.
"You've been crying, too?" Meiling asked. "I am so sorry. Syaroan is acting like a total jerk."
"I understand, Meiling-chan," she said, trying not to get angry.
Meiling told Sakura her telephone number then hung up.
Sakura locked herself in a toilet stall and burst into tears.
"Hope." She said quietly to herself.
A bright pink aura glowed around her.
"Hope!" she repeated again, raising her hand.
The card flew into Sakura's hand.
"Eh?" Sakura asked to herself. "Hoe... it's here."
"Staff," Sakura added, using her other hand and extracting a gorgeous pink Sakura-wand but now glittering and was flashing in rainbow colours, red, orange, yellow, blue, green, indigo and violet.
"Please help me," Sakura said quietly, holding her staff and her card close to her heart. "I need to break the spell off Syaroan."
Back in Hong Kong
Meiling searched through her magic book.
"Perfect!" she cried. "Sakura won't be expecting THIS," she added.
She gave an evil little grin.
Just then her cell phone rang.
Sakura was calling Meiling. "Meiling?" she asked desperately. "My Hope card isn't transforming enough power. I need you to give up your magic," she pleaded. "Meiling? Meiling? Please?"
"Okay then, wait one minute!" Meiling told Sakura.
Meiling quickly muttered a spell under her breath.
"OK, I'm ready," she said.
Meiling closed her eyes and muttered another spell to drain her energy to Sakura.
She could hear Sakura changing Hope out of the card into her usual Clow Card spirit. "Reverse the spell!" Sakura cried, "Hope!"
Just then Meiling felt her spell activating. "OK, Sakura," she said. "It worked," she added. "Bye! Thanks so much!" Meiling was grinning to herself like an idiot.
"Meiling?" Yelan cried, coming up the stairs. "You've lost your magic and you made that spell-what was it?" she cried.
"Syaroan will do what his heart is saying," Meiling said evilly, then Yelan blushed.
"Oh! Meiling!"
"How dare you make him?"
Back in Japan
After school, Tomoyo went to Sakura's house and Syaroan felt something strange in his heart. He knew it wasn't right. He might have to go back to Hong Kong soon, so he decided to take the risk. He felt the money in his pocket. Not much.
He headed back to Tomoyo's house and borrowed some money from Tomoyo's secret stash of money. I deserve it, he thought. After all... he erased the thought from his mind.
He headed into a jewelry store. There, working, was Touya.
"Syaroan! Kid!" Touya said angrily. "What are you doing here?"
Syaroan shrugged. "Just buying something," he said. He bought himself a small case and a black minibag with string.
"Can I buy this?" he asked. "And that gorgeous amethyst ring in the corner?" he asked.
Touya narrowed his eyes, gritting his teeth. "No."
Syaroan looked up. "Why?" he said harshly.
"I won't let you," Touya said.
"What are you talking about?" Syaroan asked, trying to laugh.
"Nothing!" Touya said impatiently. "Except the fact I won't let you marry her!"
Syaroan narrowed his eyes. "Since when have you cared about Tomoyo?" he said matter-of-factly.
"Tomoyo?" it was Touya's turn to be confused.
"What are you talking about, kid?"
"I'm not marrying Sakura!" Syaroan said, angry.
Touya's eyes widened. "Oh-you..."
"I'm not going to ask SAKURA to marry me," Syaroan sighed impatiently, looking at Touya, rolling his eyes. "What ever gave you that thought?"
"A lot of things, kid." Touya handed him the amethyst ring and the case and the little black bag for the case.
Syaroan paid for it.
Under his breath, he muttered, "Stupid guy. He looks familiar, but he must be stupid. Why does he think I'm going to ask Sakura to marry me?"
"I'm not going to ask Sakura...I'm going to ask TOMOYO."
End of Chapter Three
