Those of the Past Awake in the Present

Ch. 1: Wake

It's been a year now, a whole year since she left. A lot has changed; she had changed. For, during the end of her grandfathers' life she had learned of a secret. Whether its horrible or not she couldn't tell... for this secret is and always had been a part of her. This severe secret is one that none knew about, none, but three who were there when it happen, those three that had been affected by it.

It was when her grandfather was in his last moments he had whispered a name to her, a name that at first made no since whatsoever. Yet, before her grandfathers death she remembered, remembered who that name belonged to and why the words he was speaking when death was taking him, made her heart swell with sorrow and pain.

"At the end of his life..." Meiling murmured, "Is when he remembered. Yet, I will be subjected to remember for the rest of my life."

With a sigh she looked out the window. She would be landing soon, and then she would be able to see Syaoran, Sakura, and Tomoyo again. She laughed; I would even get to see that annoying Kero. But should I tell them... no, no it's much better not to. They would find out of course sooner or later, but right now it's better not to trouble them.

Yes it has been one year and in that year she has changed. And from what she had heard so has Syaoran. She learned that he and Sakura had found all the Clow cards; and that she had made them cards of her own. And, if she's not mistaken, Clow Reed himself is there, though the only ones who should know that is Syaoran and Sakura... but now that she's changed, because of a certain secret, she knows he is there as well.

"Clow Reed hmmm... yes it will be very interesting to see him again."


As soon as the plane had landed, all the passengers struggled to get out of it as if there life depended on it. Meilin was very amused at this site; for she had been reminded of a time long ago that she and her friends played a trick on someone. Though back then we should have been more careful, with a laugh she added, for we could have gotten more than as few scraped knees.

Soon enough Meilin was pushing her way out and over to the waiting area where her friends agreed to pick her up. Of course none of them had cars, not yet for they were only fourteen, so Syaoran's and hers old butler had agreed to help them with the transportation. As she emerged a familiar sight appeared.

Sakura was talking non-stop, Syaoran was looking a little unnerved, and Tomoya was politely asking Kero what he just said. It wasn't until a few moments had passed that Soryan noticed she was there and called out to her.

"Meilin."

"Hey, how are you guys?" She asked, with a huge grin on her face.

"Fine, fine. There's a lot that has happened! How about a sleep over so we can get you all sorted out? We can catch up on what has been happing in the last year. Oh I can't wait till I tell you a few things." Sakura excitedly said.

"Well if you don't mind I'm kind of tired. The plane ride was extremely long and for some reason I couldn't sleep. So how about the sleep over be this weekend?"

"Sure ok. It doesn't matter what day we do the sleep over."

"Hey Meilin are you going to go to school here?" Tomoyo asked.

"Yes," Meilin smiled "I should be at school tomorrow. I'm getting registerd for all my classes in the morning, so I will probably miss out on first and second period."

"I'll meet you at lunch then," Sakura smiled. "Just make sure Syaoran you get her at the the ususal place. got that?"

Syaoran nodded.

"Well we should go," Sakura said. "My dads waiting over in the parking lot to pick us up. I'll see you guys tomorrow then, ok."

"Ok." And with that Sakura, Tomoyo, and Kero made their departure.

"We should get going to." Syaoran said.

"Ok." But before she could take a step towards the exits, Syaoran had his arms around her in a tight hug. Caught off guard she gasped, "S- Syaoran?"

"I've missed you Meilin. I've missed you a lot."

With a sad simile she hugged him back. A bout a year ago she would have done anything for this... anything for this little interaction ...but right now she wasn't sure. Things had changed; but still she couldn't help but feel warm all over.
