Chapter 18
Ying Fa typed furiously away at her computer. She had been planning nothing but her confrontation with Komoji for days now. She sighed tiredly and rested her head back against the sofa. This was dragging on for so long that she was starting to forget why she was so angry and hurt and revengeful towards the man that had taken her family away from her, or was it that had taken her away from them? Ying Fa sighed and rubbed her head. It was all far too much and it was driving her crazy!
She pushed the laptop away and and stood up. She walked out onto the balcony of her new little apartment and watched the setting sun go down under the golden horizon. A flock of birds flew over above twittering away and Ying Fa smiled at there innocence. She wished that she could sometimes be a bird and not have a care in the world except to watch out for cats, what to eat and where to lie for the night.
She took a deep breath and clinged to the sweet taste of the cool night air. She ran her fingers through her now once more, chesnut coloured hair. She wondered where Koji was and what he was doing? Whatever it was she hoped he was happy. She owed him that much for all that he had done for her.
Going back inside again, Ying Fa looked around the small apartment. It was small, but it was cosy and that suited her fine. She walked towards the door and grabbed her jacket and picked up her keys. She stepped out into the night air and started to walk. She found herself half an hour later at a small shine that had a cherry blossom tree in the centre of the court yard and smiled at its beauty.
She walked around in the darkness not caring if she bumped into something or tripped. It was just so tanquil here that it was what she needed for her restlessness. She heard water and walked towards it and soon found herself at a small little pool. She wondered what it was and saw in the moonlight a small sign. She brought out her lighter and light spilled into the darkness and she read the inscription. According to this it was some sort of moon wishing pool. She walked to the edge of the pool and starred down at the water.
She didn't know how long she had stayed there just starring at her reflexion, but when she blinked the full moon was now high into the sky. Once more looking down into the water, she clenched her fist angrily.
" Komoji, " she hissed. " You are mine. "

Madison walked into the mansion with Meilin tailing her. The look on their faces let those that they past, that something was up. Madison dumped her keys on the table and looked around. She looked at Christina as she came into the room.
" Christina? "
She looked up.
" Hey! How are - what's wrong? "
" Round everybody up. We have a meeting in two minutes. Where's Li, Eriol and the others? "
" Upstairs. Yelan and some others arrived earlier they - "
Madison and Meilin didn't borther hearing the rest as they bolted upstairs.
**
" It's so good to be back. " Yelan smiled as she placed her tea cup down.
Fanren and Siefa smiled agreeing.
" It's so good to see you again mother. " Sakura stated affectionately.
" And I you my sweet Sakura. " Yelan replied with love and adoration in her eyes.
" Tell me - "
The study door flew open as Madison and Meilin filed in.
" It's nice to see that you still have some of you manners. " Yelan said dryly addressing Meilin.
Meilin gave her a cheeky grin and then became serious as Madison looked at them all.
" Sorry for bursting in on you like this Yelan Li. " Madison said. " But there is a meeting that all of us are attending in just a few minutes and I think Li and the others should be present. "
Li frowned and Sakura looked at Li.
" I didn't know of a meeting. "
" Neither did I? " Eriol replied walking around the desk to look at his wife.
" What's going on? " he said meeting her gaze.
" Just please be there. " Madison said and turned around and walked out.
Li looked at Meilin.
" Must we come? Me and mother - "
" Trust me. " Meilin cut in. " You'll want to here this. " she said and walked out.
Sakura shrugged and walked out too. Fanren and Siefa followed as well.
**
All the Black Wolves crammed into the huge open foyer of the Black Wolf mansion. Madison and Meilin stood on the stairs and waited as Sakura and the others came down behind them and stood at the base of the stairs looking up at them curiously.
Meilin looked at Madison and nodded. All around them, Black Wolves talked and Meilin grew impatient.
" Shut your yaps and let Madison talk! Don't make me come down there and kick your sorry arses from lack of petty manners! "
Yelan rubbed her temples.
" I am not related to her in any way. " she muttered and Sakura who had heard her, stiffled a giggle.
" I've called this meeting because what I am about to tell you concerns all of us. There is no easy way to break this news and I think the best way is to just come out and say it. "
Ally shot Syaoran and Tristan a look.
" What could it be? She looks so serious. "
" Shush and lets hear it eh? " Tristan said glarring at her.
" Bully. " she muttered.
" Sakura, Li this mainly concerns you. " Madison said looking at them. " And I'm sorry that there is no other way to say this but - it's possible that Ying Fa is still alive. "
Everyone gasped and Sakura went as white as stone.
" What? " she whispered.
" How do you know this? " Li demanded watching his wife as she went paler.
" Someone has tipped the network off. Apparently the Heir to the Black Wolves has been right under our noses for a few months and none of us has noticed. "
" Ying Fa is alive? " Syaoran whispered and sharred looks with Tristan.
" It would seem that everyone believes it to be true. Whoever has made the notice is big. This isn't likely to be a hoax. I've traced as far as I can for the reporter of such info, but there's a dead end. Whoever it is is good. Very good. It is possible that this is a trick, but I get the strong feeling it is not. Trust me on this. What Madison said is, I believe, true. " Meilin said.
Yelan's eyes were wide as she covered her mouth with her hand in a startled gasp. Her grandchild still alive?
" My god. " Sakura choked and fell to the floor.
" Sakura. " Li said and knelt down beside her.
" Could it be? " she asked grasping his hand tightly and looking up into his face.
" Could she still be alive? Even after all these years? " she cried as two tears fell down her face.
Li hugged her close.
" I don't know. For once . . . I don't know . . . " he admitted and Sakura gasped and starred at him in shock.
" Mother! " Fanren and Siefa cried in union as the Black Wolves parted as Yelan colapsed on the marble floor.
Meilin sighed.
" I knew this was what was going to happen. " she muttered.
