Those of the Past Awake in the Present

Ch.5 Rage
Walking slowly home, Meilin thought about what had happen. It was true not all of those that will come after her will be persuaded not to take her. But this is her life now. This is how it is going to be until… well until she sees fit to leave. Sighing she twirled her hair with her finger, a habit she seemed to pick up once she remembered a life once spent.
Eirol…
What was she going to do about him. He was determine to talk about the past, something she didn't really want to do. No she will have to, she was just running away but someday soon she knew, they will have to talk about it. Because someday soon, they were going to be smacked with it. The past was going to catch up to them. And if she didn't do something, the others may have to get involved.
"Meilin? What are you doing out here?" a voice startled her out of her thoughts.
"Who- Sakura, Syaoran, Kero? What are you guys doing here?"
"We just felt a sudden surge of magical energy. We were just going to follow it when it disappeared." Syaoran answered, then asked, "What are you doing out here?"
"I was just taking a walk. I haven't been here for a year you know, so I wanted to get familiar with the city again."
"Then why were you in the forest?"
He was becoming suspicious, she forgot how smart and observant he was. She better make something up. They don't need to get involved with her problems. "A baby bird fell out of his nest, luckily it wasn't hurt, so I put him back in it. I heard its cries when I was walking by, and I couldn't just leave it there." Shrugging she added for good measure, "Why else would I come in here? I don't have magic, and you know, only magic could sense other magic."
"Che I know that. Come on we all might as well go home, the magic surge is gone." Syaoran replied as he started walking ahead of them.
Meilin couldn't help but smirk, oh yes she still knew how to manipulate him. "Well should we catch up with him? He wont bother to wait for us until he's home."
Sakura laughed and grabbed her arm, "Yes lets. I hope he's not going to be grumpy tomorrow."
"Why would he be?"
"Well you see, he's been really into this new power; the one the sorcerer told us about. He's been researching it nonstop for weeks."
"I see. What has he learned so far about it? Maybe I could help."
"All I know is that he said; 'This new power is connected to an Old power, and probably an Ancient power.' He also said these two powers once use to roam this world, like centuries ago, then all of a sudden, they vanished. In all the books, scrolls, engravings it doesn't say what happened to them. But now this new power has sudden awaken. I wonder what happened to those other powers. They had to belonged to people so, what happened to them, they couldn't have been kill easily. And who were they. Could they have been reborn, like Eirol?"
"Is that all you know?" Meilin asked feeling a little panicked but keeping it in check. How could they know that much? The Elders must have something to do with this.
"Yeah that's about it. Do you know anything about it?"
"No," Meilin said a little to fast, " No but I'll keep a look out for anything suspicious."
"Alright then. This is my stop see you at school tomorrow."
"Right, you to."
Walking into the kitchen of her house she decided to get something to eat. It has been one heck of a long day and she was famished. Meilin was too busy taking out the things she'd need to make herself something to eat that she didn't noticed someone come in the room.
"Meilin…"
She jumped and almost spilled the food in her hands, "Geez Syaoran don't sneak up on me like that!"
"I didn't know you got scared so easily," he smirked.
"I don't!"
"Sure." She glared at him, "Ok anyways I want to- I'm sor- " shaking his head he started over. "I didn't mean to be so suspicious of you. I was just really sure that we'd finally be able to confront this new power."
Meilin looked at Syoaron closely. He had a very slight blush across his face, his hand swinging by his side in a nervous manner. Aww he looks so cute. She gave him a reassuring smile, "Its alright. I know you didn't mean to."
School, oh why did it have to be so early when school starts. As you cant tell she was not a morning person. Especially not today since she had just about 5 hours of sleep. Yesterday after Syaoran's bad attempt to apologize, they had stayed up way into the night talking about what had been going on in their lives. Of course she did leave a major secret out but still there were other things she could talk to him about.
And it seemed that once she started talking to him again, becoming close to him again, she felt her heart falling for him once again. She shook her head no, no this isn't a time for such things. She had much bigger things to think about.
"Meilin! Come on its almost time to go."
"Alright! I'll be right there."
Grabbing her school uniform she changed in a hurry, did her hair up in her usual two pint up buns and brushed her teeth within ten minutes. Running out the door she yelled at Syaoran, for he already started walking towards the school.
"You know what Meilin," Syaoran started as they entered the class room, "You should just go to bed early since you can't get up in the mornings."
Meilin blushed, "I can to get up! My alarm just hasn't been working lately."
"Sure."
"Well as I recall I wasn't the only one up late last night." She looked over at Syaoran a blush spreading across his face, but of course he didn't say anything. Well never mind he did have a comeback.
"Well I can get up even though I go to sleep late."
"Uh huh sure. Hey look theres Sakura."
"Hey guys. I guess im late huh. Sorrys Kero here didn't let me sleep last night." Sakura said. "Oh that's right did you guys hear about that new student that's coming today."
"New student? What's his name?" Meilin said having a bad feeling about this. But as soon as Sakura opened her mouth to say their teacher had an announcement to make.
"Hello my dear and wonderful class," the teacher started with obviously forced cheerfulness, "today we have a new student. His name is Akeno Yamani."
A boy with black hair that was tied in a ponytail entered the class, followed by the Principle. No wonder the teacher was acting so nice. The boy, Akeno was fairly handsome, his blue eyes complemented his black hair and pale skin nicely. Around the class room you could hear the girls, as well as a few boys, gasp in awe.
Akeno's eyes looked around the room and when they found Meilin he smirked. Oh great It IS him! Just what I need. With a sigh she placed her head on her desk, this is going to be a long day. I should have known he was going to show up sooner or later! Grrr he was so annoying before…
"Why don't you find a seat while I go out in the hall to talk to the principle, Akeno. Class why don't you all go to page 23 of your history book. I'll be back in a minute."
Walking to the seat next to hers he paused and sat down. All through class nothing happened, which was odd. Usually he would have said something, done something already. Could he actually have a plan? Maybe it wasn't him after all? But once class was over she felt a breath right next to her, she felt his words as he whispered them in her ear.
"You know, Meiling, you look exactly like you did a long time ago. Meet me at the roof of this school. Now."
Meilin turned around to yell at him but no one was there. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up. Where did he go? Looking around the class room she noticed most of the students were gone already. Syaoran was talking to Sakura and Tomoyo, looking around some more she caught Eirol's eyes. He looked concerned, but quickly shifted his gaze. She smiled slightly, seeing that Eirol was concerned about her made her feel warm.
Akino wanted to meet her, so who was she to disappoint him. Meilin got up grabbed her stuff and took off up to the roof. In front of her was the door to the roof, she stopped here. With a deep breath, she swung it open. Akeno was already there waiting for her.
The look on his face, wasn't very reassuring. He looked pissed for some reason.
"Hey, long time no see Akeno."
"Che- yea long time."
"Whats wrong?"
"Whats wrong? WhATS WRONG! I'll tell you what's wrong. I'll tell you what's wrong! HE'S gone that's what! HE IS GONE!" Akeno said shaking, with most likely rage.
"I know."
"Is that all you have to say!"
"We can't bring him back Akeno. We are merely humans."
"We have to try. I have to try! He was my- he was- I cant just leave it as that!"
He was angry, frustrated and she understood. She felt like that when she remembered what had happened. She forgot she wasn't the only one that loved him, cared for him. Akeno needed to take his frustrations out, then maybe then he would be able to listen to her. But if a battle were to start here, many people would be caught in it.
"Look lets settle this somewhere else. This is not a place for a fight."
"Sorry, but for me, I think its perfect." With that he threw his hand out in front of him and long diamond shaped ice came hurling towards her.
"Shit!" She yelled as she just barely dodged. Ice Crystals. He's no amateur. Looking around she saw the stairs to go back to the first floor. I have to get out of here, out of this school before he does some major damage. Dodging another onslaught of Ice Crystals she headed towards the stairs.
"You know, running away wont help you."
"I know. But at least It will help innocent people."
"Che, whatever. They shouldn't be in the way in the first place."
"Only an idiot like you would say that."
"Yeah well its true isn't it. I mean come on who would go where there's explosions."
"Yup you will never change."
"Well its part of my charm so of course I wont change."
Rolling her eyes Meilin quickened her pace.
