Final Fantasy
Chapter 2
Unexpected Arrival
As Meilin, Eriol, Madison and Syaoran sat comfortably on the plan, Madison wondered if they were doing the right thing. She and Eriol left their kids with Syaoran's Mother and Meilin left hers with her too. "I can't wait to see Sakura again, I bet she'll be happy to see us again." Said Meilin being energetic to see Sakura.
"I wonder if she still looks the same." Added Tomoyo.
"Love I am positive that she'll look the same and be happy to see us again." Eriol said lovingly.
"All I want to know is why she left me." Syaoran said plainly. They all knew why she left but Syaoran didn't. They knew she felt betrayed and heartbroken, but what she didn't know was that, that woman did this so they could split up.
"Okay come on its time for you to go to school!!!" Sakura yelled, as she got dressed for work. She slipped into a black halter-top and navy blue jeans that had a chain around the waist. "Come on!!! We're gonna be late!!!"
Kasumi came into her room and Sakura began to fix her hair while trying to do hers as well. "Mom, come on we're gonna be late!!!!" yelled Jin-Su.
Sakura grabbed her purse and keys then headed for the door. "Alright lets go."
They jumped into the mini van and drove to school. Tomoeda Elementary School. She parked in front of the school and looked at them. "Here's your money for lunch" –she said handing them their money- "and no fights Jin-Su, okay?"
"Yes Mother."
"Okay good. I will probably stay at work til five, so is it okay if you two walk home or do you want me to send somebody to pick you up."
Kasumi opened her mouth to reply but Jin-Su butted in. "No its not a problem Mom, I'll wait for Kasumi and we can walk."
"Okay. See you at dinner then."
"Bye Mom." Said Jin-Su slipping out of the car and Kasumi right behind him.
"Bye Mommy!!!" she said as Sakura drove off to work. When she was out of sight Jin-Su walked ahead and Kasumi had to run to keep up.
"By Mommy!!!" Jin-Su mimicked Kasumi's voice and she punched him in the arm. "Oww!!!"
"Hello Miss Kinomoto, we thought you were going to be late for the rehearsal." Greeted an elderly woman.
"Aw…no I just had to drop off my children."
"Oh how old are they?"
"Six almost seven."
"Twins?"
"Yes but ones a girl and the other is a boy. Is it my turn?"
The woman looked at her oddly and nodded. Sakura walked through the doors and entered the stage and stood before the judges. "Miss Kinomoto I presume," said a male judge and Sakura nodded. "Its says here that you sing and model, you have two children, single Mother. Am I right?"
"Yes."
"What shall you be doing for us?"
"Well…um…I'm going to sing a song that I know and hopefully I will be selected to move on to the next round."
"Do you have a job?"
"Yes."
"Where?"
"The Quake restaurant, I am the chef there."
"Well then………by all means begin, and one single mistake you shall be knocked out the competition. You may begin when you are ready."
Sakura took a deep breath and nervously twisted her hands, took another breath but this time it was shaky.
Lay me baby in your arms and hold me tight
Tryin not to watch the clock
Tick-tickin as the time goes by
I don't know, but you best be on your way
But I'm wishing that I could make you stay
Stay for a while
Though…you're near
Still…I wanna make it clear
Love…I'll always be around
You're leaving, I'm waiting
Forgive me
I'm always missin you
Before the goodbye
I felt it already
Forgive me
I'm always missin you
Before the goodbye
Come home for me and let you know
Still don't let me feelings show
How much I was missin you
All the little things that made me weak
Your eyes and the way you speak
Without you baby, I'm not near
So please come to me-
The judge held up her hand for her to stop and Sakura thought that she had made a mistake and blew it. "Miss Kinomoto, we have heard enough we shall call you if you passed."
Sakura thanked them and bowed leaving and as she drove to work, she had silent tears coming down her face because the song reminded her of Syaoran.
"Welcome to Tokyo, Japan. It is now three in the afternoon and ten in the morning in China please exit the plane and receive your luggage. Thank you."
Tomoyo, Meilin, Eriol and Syaoran walked off the plane tired and hungry. They grabbed their luggage and went to the waiting limo that was sent for them.
"To this address please." Said Tomoyo handing the driver the address.
The driver scanned it then said, "Yes Madame."
As they rode, they rode in silence. They still couldn't believe that after all these years they finally get to see Sakura again. The Sakura that they all knew and loved, well not as much as Syaoran did. The driver made three rights, one left, straight for ten minutes, another right, then left, then finally stopped in front of the house. "Here we are, do you want me to wai-"
"Yes." Meilin said sharply that the driver shut his mouth.
They went up to the door and rang the doorbell; from outside they could hear it chime. Finally the door opened and there stood Jin-Su and Kasumi behind him. "Can I help you?" he asked.
"Yeah we wanted to know if Sakura Avalon lived here?" Meilin asked trying to be cheerful.
"Our Mom's not here, she's at work." Kasumi said looking at all of them from one to one.
'Please don't tell me these are my children…I don't know what I'm going to do to Sakura if they are mine……' Li thought and seemed to be angry that Sakura kept his kids away from him for almost six years.
"Can we come in?" Tomoyo asked.
"No. Tell me your name and I'll tell her to contact you."
"Nah, that's okay we'll come by later. See ya kid." Said Meilin walking back and the others followed.
"Meilin," Li said trying to be calm, "are they my children?"
Silence.
"Well!!!"
"…Uh.."
"Well.."
"You see-"
"YES OR NO!!! ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION!!!!"
It was five in the evening when Sakura pulled into the driveway. She leaned against the cool window and sighed, today has been a long day. She reached over to the passenger's seat and grabbed the bags of food she brought from work. Before she even cam to the door the door opened revealing Kasumi.
"Mommy!!!" she exclaimed helping her carry the bags.
"Hey," she said going into the kitchen and getting the plates and silverware out for dinner. "So how was school?"
"It was fine but, Chow kept on bothering me." Kasumi said setting the table. Jin-Su came in and sat at the table. They began to eat the toasted breed, beef chow-main, pork on rice and sushi. "Hey Mom, some people came by and wanted to talk to you."
"Who we're they?"
"I dunno, they said they would come back later-" when he said that word the doorbell rang. Sakura looked at the door questionally before getting up and walking to the door. "Who is it?"
"A friend." The voice replied.
Sakura opened the door and gasped. There stood Meilin, Eriol, Tomoyo and Syaoran.
