Chapter 4: Meiling Li

(Sakura's P.O.V)

Damn.

Sleep was something I needed, yet it would not welcome me with open arms. I should have known.

I was up all night wondering how I brought myself to meet Syaoran's lips. It must have been some strong force. Because surely, I would never do such a thing. But what bothered me most about it was how the kiss felt so right. Yet in reality, it was wrong! All wrong!

I must be losing my mind because I could still feel my lips on his. And it's driving me nuts. I have the urge to run to his apartment for another kiss.

Insanity.

Funny, huh? How one silly kiss occupies my mind.

Sighing in frustration, I changed into a pair of blue jeans and a plain white t-shirt. Hopefully a walk would help me dispose all these unwanted thoughts. Hopefully.


(Meiling's P.O.V)

Tomoeda; beautiful place, small town.

Small, yet I could not find Syaoran's apartment. I've walked around this block at least five times and still no luck. This is ridiculous.

No, I haven't asked anyone for directions. Why you ask? No, it's not because I refuse to admit I'm lost. I'm not a guy. It's because it's 7:30 in the damn morning. Everyone is asleep. And here I am, alone on the streets, trying to find some stupid building. I hate this.

Oh wait. I think a see someone! Thank god!

"Excuse me!" I cried, running towards the figure. I don't think she heard me because she kept walking. How rude!

"Excuse me," I repeated. The girl seemed to have snapped back into reality when she heard my voice again.

"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry." She spoke, bowing down in apology. "What was it you needed, Miss?"

"Do you know where I could find..." I trailed off, handing her the address on a crumbled piece of paper. Her eyes were distant for a second before she smiled at me, leading me to the apartment building.

"Thank you, Miss..."

"Sakura."


(Syaoran's P.O.V.)

"You may now kiss the bride!" The priest announced happily.

I smiled as I leaned in closing the gap between my wife and I. Pulling her closer, I captured her lips in a short but passionate kiss.

"Syaoran..."

I stirred, hearing somebody whisper my name.

"Syaoran..." I could feel their breath tickle my right ear. Opening one eye lid, I was shocked to find someone next to me.

"What the!" I shouted in fear, jumping off the bed. I placed my hand over my heart, trying to calm down, as I caught my breath. I stared up at the person who scared me half to death. Fiery ruby eyes. Black hair, just above the waist. It was none other than my cousin, Meiling Li. "Mei-Meiling! What are you doing here"? I said in between breaths.

"Have a nice sleep, dear cousin?" She asked sweetly. Glaring at her, I replied,

"Actually, yes I did. Until you came along." The feeling of my wife's lips still lingered. Somehow, it felt so... real. Damn Meiling! Why'd she have to wake me up? "What are you doing here?" I repeated.

"Visiting my oh so favourite cousin, which happens to be you. What else?"

"Oh, I don't know. I thought maybe you came here to ruin my life." I replied sarcastically. Truthfully, I was really glad to see Meiling. I just wasn't so happy about her... entrance. Scaring me half the death. Fun, really.

"Awww... You think I flew all the way here from Hong Kong to ruin your life? You're mean Syaoran." She pouted, walking to the door. "Anyways, get dressed. You have a long day ahead of you."

"Do I?"

"Yup. Because you're going to be giving yours truly a tour of Tomoeda." Smiling innocently, she left the room. Oh man. Why me? Spending a Sunday with Meiling? You've got to be kidding me. I'd rather spend it with Ying- Oh my god! Ying Fa! I completely forgot about her! I scanned the room but she was no where in sight.

Blinking in confusion, I noticed that I was sleeping in a bed. But, the last thing I could remember was... sleeping in a chair! How'd I get on this bed?

"By the way, Syaoran," Meiling re-entered my room. "I hope you aren't inviting girls over." She handed me a piece of paper before leaving the room once again.

After reading the note, I frowned. So much for spending the weekend with Ying Fa.


(Meiling's P.O.V)

Monday; My first day at Tomoeday High. I can't wait.

I held back a laugh at Syaoran's expression. He's annoyed that I will be attending the same school as him. Tough luck.

"Sy-ao-ran!" Oh no. Here comes the crowd of girls. Why am I not surprised?

"I'll see you in class Syaoran-" I needed to get away from his crazy fan club.

"Mei-Meiling! Wait!" He cried.

"Yes, dear cousin?" Haha. The scene was too funny. Poor guy.

"Save me! Y-you can't leave me here!" I smirked at him.

"Watch me."

"You wouldn't dare!" Oh I dare. And so off I ran, looking for my homeroom.

After stroding around the whole floor, I was exhausted. Here I am, lost again, but this time, at school. Haha. I'm sure bad with directions.

Suddenly, I felt someone collide into me. Ouch. Hey... Wait a minute. She looks awfully farmiliar.

"I'm sorry." She mumbled, bowing in apology. It's her! From yesterday! What was her name again...? She rose and I caught a glimpse of her face. She looked quite different. And her eyes... Turquoise? Huh? Weren't they emerald? Argh! What was her name! Saruko? Sakaru?

"...Sakura!" She looked at me with surprise. Yeah! I got it right!

"How did you-" Her eyes widened in what seemed to be shock? Or fear?

To be continued...
