Whole at last
Chapter 8
"What? You are staying? Why?" Syoran couldn't help saying it out loud. The night was going pretty uneventfully until Meilin disappeared and then came back really late at night with Touya!
'How could this be?' He thought. She seemed to have befriended him, to the point where she even asked him to spend the night.
'The night! Why would she do that? I already am quite stressed with the upcoming wedding' It was so weird that Touya would accept an invitation to spend the night from Meilin, that Sakura, Yukito and Kaho decided to stay too. Just to keep an eye on them both. Tomoyo and Eriol had plans for the rest of night, so they couldn't stay long. There was something weird going on with Touya… it was so weird that even Sakura noticed!
"It's out of place, don't you think?" Sakura said to Syoran while having breakfast the next morning.
"Yeah. I don't get it, but I bet that he is jut doing this to piss me off." Syoran still confused by what happened last night couldn't help but to make up strange theories about Touya's way of acting.
"Do you think there is something going on with them?" Yukito asked to no one in particular.
"It seems like it, but…" Kaho was interrupted by an incredibly happy Meilin that was just entering the kitchen. She looked as if she was in her own little world not even really paying much attention to everyone else.
"Hi everyone!" Meilin said when she finally saw them all, she was really happy and she wanted to make sure everybody noticed it.
"Hi Meilin! Did you have a good night?" Sakura asked without the knowledge of the possible double meaning of that question.
"Ow!" Syoran kicked Sakura because of her naive self.
"Yes, an excellent night, did you?" Meilin said casually while getting a box of cereal, a plate and a spoon.
"Yeah, same here. Umm, Meilin? " Sakura said picking out her words carefully "Are you and…and Touya together?" As soon as Meilin heard that she barely choked on her cereal from laughter.
"Hahaha, no, of course not. Why would you think that?"
"Well…you invited him to stay over, and I don't think you've ever been friends before. Before, when you. You know…" Sakura finished lamely, they hadn't talked about what almost happened to Meilin yet, and still did not know what to call it.
"Huh…the thing is…that we just were having a good time, that's it, nothing major."
"And what exactly were you doing to have a good time?" Syoran asked suspiciously, he had heard of the reputation Touya had regarding girls. Meilin chuckled and said:
"That is none of your business" Of course nothing had happened, but she had been feeling lonely since Syoran and Sakura got serious, and even more with the engagement. She had missed all the attention Syoran would give her before Sakura, and now, since he was starting to notice her again, she was going to take the opportunity to make him suffer a bit.
Syoran growled in discontent. She was just messing with his mind; obviously she had done nothing with him. She was just playing.
Kaho, Yukito and Sakura looked at each other and giggled, they all knew Meilin was just trying to get Syoran angry.
Touya entered the kitchen and the first thing he did was snatch the cereal box from Meilin's hand, took a bunch of cereal and put it in his mouth. When he finally finished this first fist of cereal and was about to get more, he noticed that everyone was staring at him, he acknowledge their presence with his gaze and proceeded to eat another bunch of cereal.
No one was talking, and an awkward silence fell upon the kitchen, but neither Meilin nor Touya seemed to mind it. That way, they would not ask questions.
Finally, Meilin and Touya finished their breakfast.
Yukito and Kaho had decided that it was time to talk, to talk about Touya's powers and why was he so distant.
"Touya, we need to talk." Kaho said.
"Ok, then I'll leave you alone, so you can talk." Touya had expected this moment to come, but right now, he was not in the mood for reminiscing or questions. He had to get out of the house as soon as possible otherwise he would have no choice but to say some truths.
"Stop running Touya, you'll have to face us eventually, this is a good time to talk. Before the wedding and before you do something rash, like not going. We need to set things straight" Yukito said with a voice full of power. A voice he never used on him, or anyone for that matter. He was always so sweet and considerate. Touya had finally tired Yukito and his almost everlasting patience.
"I am not running away." Touya said firmly, he was not going to get bullied around by anyone, not right now anyways. "I have things to do, I have a job and a life." He went to exit the kitchen when a loud and familiar voice was heard at the door.
"Meiliiiiiiiin! Syoraaaaaaan! Mama's home!"
