Everything connects in this chapter and the next chapter. Thanks for all your reviews, they help me as usual! I think I promised a shout out to everyone a couple of chapters before but I'm still too lazy lol. I'll do that at the end of this fic or something oO. I'm planning this to be a long story however...

Enjoy!

I woke up, still dazed from yesterday. My head still ache. I rubbed my forehead gently, hoping to soothe the pain away. I looked around, where was I? There was a huge window, with green curtains dangling gently from the golden rod on top. The floor was pure rosewood with gloss creamed over it. The room was magnificent. It was familiar. I was awed at the magnificent swords on the wall. Could this be...? My eyes stopped at a sleeping bag on the other end of the room.

"Good, you're awake." Said a voice.

I turned around panicking. "Wha..?"

"Relax, its me." Syaoran chuckled, his eyes twinkling. I smiled for a moment until I realized that Syaoran Li just laughed. Or rather chuckled. But still, it was cute. It was a low throaty laugh but it was still cute. As if it was his first time chuckling.

I grinned teasingly, "You still need practice."

Syaoran's expression turned back to its regular solemn structure. "What are you talking about?" he asked almost angrily.

I grinned wider, "I was talking about your chuckle. It's the first time I've ever heard you laugh. Don't worry, I was only teasing."

Syaoran looked at me weirdly, clearly not getting the joke. I sighed. All of a sudden there was flash.

I couldn't see anything around me, and everything was dark. A gentle but firm hand gripped my waist and pulled me closer. I tensed quickly since I was still new to this feeling. What was happening? His finger gently raised my head upwards and I felt his soft lips pressed against my own. Instantly, I closed my eyes. I whirled into passion and my entire body gave away, leaving me incredibly weak, almost unable to stand firmly.

I focused back into the room to find Syaoran standing there seriously uncomfortable. I must have been staring at him the entire time. He kissed me? When? I don't remember, everything that happened yesterday. Everything was so vague and hazy.

"Syaoran, what happened last night?" I asked confused.

He hesitated, then said, "You were with Eriol at the supermarket. I'm assuming you were trying to get over Meilin's death when Eriol told you that he wanted to break up."

I felt tears nudge me, wanting to flow down my cheeks. I felt that certain soft tingle at my nose. I was trying hard to hold back everything.

"Meilin.." I whispered. Syaoran stopped when he saw me struggling to not cry. I waved my arm, indicating that I wanted him to continue.

"Then you ran out of the supermarket. Eriol called me on the phone to catch up with you, I was only a couple of stores away. He said he was busy and he couldn't follow you. I asked him why, but he just brushed it away, saying that it was very important. It took some time, but I found you. You were walking subconsciously, unaware of where you were going."

I clapped my hands over my mouth to muffle the sound. I remember so clearly, all those emotions were coming back to me. Meilin, what made you die? There must have been something that made you die. What was the hemopthysis the nurse was talking about?

Syaoran looked at me worriedly. He took a tissue nearby and handed it to me. He sat down gently next to me on the bed.

"I think that we shouldn't continue. I'll tell you when you get better alright?" he whispered. Even with everything going on, I couldn't help but notice how Syaoran was being so mature and sensitive about everything. I mean, bringing me home...I stopped.

"Li-san, where am I? Does my dad and Touya know?"

"You're at my house. The bridge that I needed to cross to get to your house is broken. I don't know why but the workers there said it would only be fix in a couple of days. So last night, the only place that you to stay was at my house. I did, however, called your Dad to tell him about the problem."

I wanted to ask him if he really kissed me or it was a dream of some kind. Wait a second, I would NEVER dream of kissing him! Disgusting!

"Who's room is this?" I asked him curiously.

He looked around uncomfortably. "Its my room."

"What?!?! Where were you sleeping?!" I pushed him hard my heart pounding. Taken by surprise he fell on the floor. Too bad for him, I thought angrily.

"Out of every room in this huge mansion of yours, you put me in the same room as you sleep?!" I yelled out.

"Shut up!" He boomed at me.

I shut up. He looked incredibly scary, I have to admit that. His eyes glaring at me menacingly while he gritted his teeth. He never yelled at me before.

"I SLEPT IN THE STUPID CHEAP SLEEPING BAG THAT ONE OF THE SERVANTS GAVE ME BECAUSE OF YOU! I DECIDED TO LET YOU SLEEP ON MY BED INSTEAD OF THE GROUND. I DIDN'T PUT YOU IN MEILIN"S CHAMBER BECAUSE I KNEW THAT WOULD UPSET YOU. THE OTHER ROOMS ARE FILLED WITH THE TEMPORARY SUMMER SERVANTS!" Syaoran roared.

I looked at him guilty.

"I'm sorry Li-san. I didn't know." I said softly.

"You should know before accusing me of things!" he snapped.

Yet another silence hung in the room. If you haven't notice, reader, every time I talk to this guy, there is always a silent part of the conversation. If, you can call what we just had a conversation that is.

"Was it uncomfortable?" I asked timidly.

"Extremely." He replied sharply.

"Oh." Was all I could say.

Suddenly, the phone rang. I gave a loud sigh and fell backwards on the bed. Saved by the ring, I thought.

"Hello?" Syaoran answered. I listened intently, and I could tell by his eyes that he was shock.

"Thank you for informing me. Please continue searching." He hung up. He stood there for awhile, staring at the phone.

Then he looked at me with anger. Uh oh. He's still mad huh? I closed my eyes.

"I'm ready for the yelling." I said. I was really scared ok, he was awfully scary when he was mad. Really.

When there was silence I opened my eyes to see what he was doing. He had a small smile on.

"I'm not going to yell at you any further." His expression turned serious. "Its about Meilin. Amelia, one of the nurses found that the oxygen tank in Meilin's room was slashed with holes. Therefore when Meilin was still unconscious, the oxygen mask stopped working. That was why she died."

"What?!" I exclaimed.

"The doctor explained to me that everyone was surprised to find that she died. Her case of hemopthysis wasn't strong. It was only a one time thing and it wouldn't cause her death. It was because of the pills that made a reaction to her body. He was expecting her to be ready to walk and everything the day after."

Something was twitching at my mind, but I couldn't remember what it was. Suddenly it came back to me.

"Li-san! When I was in her room that day. She mentioned that she was going to die. I told her it was really unlikely for her to die. Then she said 'you don't understand, she hates me.' I asked her who she is but she went into her coughing fit." I felt sadness gripped me again but I shook it away. I need to be strong in order to solve this.

Syaoran narrowed. He nodded, finally comprehending whatever it was in his mind.

"Jessica Kim is back." Was all he said.

Eriol was pacing around his desk.

"Where could she be? I know its her! She was the one who did this. But how was she released? How was she released? Is it that hard to find a black hair girl who's 16 years old?"

He paused stressfully. And Sakura. I didn't even get a chance to tell her why I broke up with her. I don't want to. But it was getting late. I promised."

He could clearly remember how she giggled at his jokes, hug him when he suggested them to go somewhere...

If only she knew.

There, a nice cliffhanger for you guys. More explanations next chapter. I made this chapter a little lighter in terms of the emotions but I couldn't bring it up so fast. I mean, Meilin DID die. Yes she died. She is gone, poof. I prefer to focus more on Sakura Syaoran and Eriol.

Oh yeah Tomoyo is coming back next chapter. Well not physically back. If you know what I mean.

Questions for you to try to answer: Who is this girl Syaoran and Sakura is talking about? Could it be the same girl that poisoned Sakura? If it is, why would she try to kill Meilin too? What did Eriol mean by 'release'? Why did Eriol break up with Sakura? What promise? Is the damaged bridge anything connected? What did Eriol have to do that stopped him from chasing after Sakura?

LOL there you go. Many questions you could be refreshing over. I hope I didn't give so much away. XD Couldn't help it though.
