Whole at last

Chapter 12

It was a slight breeze that gently moved his dark hair back and forth. He was standing towards the setting sun smiling, evilly. I can't sense his presence in this world. He left late last night and hasn't returned…He must be quite busy… His smiled widened. This is gonna be good. The breeze strengthened until it turned into a strong wind, the tree next to him fought desperately not to be ripped of the ground. Then, waves of power slowly started to emanate from him, getting into even the tightest hole in Tomoeda. They would feel his power and come to him. He knew it. He knew it perfectly well…

"Sakura! Sakura!" Kero flew as fast as he could down the stairs and into the living room of the Li mansion where everyone sat.

"Kero! Oh My God! His power is so strong!"

"What? What power?" Meilin said as she entered from the kitchen, she was carrying a tray full of pastries.

"He's calling us," Syoran said as he slowly got up from the couch.

"Yeah, there's no doubt about it. Alex wants to fight." In a flash, Yue had appeared and looked over at Meilin. "You should stay here along with Tomoyo. You guys will only be in danger."

"Yeah, that's true, my love," Eriol said to Tomoyo as he caressed her face. "I don't want you to get hurt."

"I. I understand. But you must be careful" A quiet tear had formed at the side of her eye. It was sure to be dangerous for them all.

"We should go then. Kaho must have surely felt his presence and be on her way."

Everyone agreed in unison. "Right"

The location was far from pretty; it was a cemetery near a beach. The sky had turned a mixture of red and black, and it gave the already maltreated cemetery an extra air of foreboding.

As everyone arrived, their fighting spirit dissipated at the sight before their eyes. Kaho had indeed arrived sooner than them, and she had not met the easiest of villains. She leaned on one tombstone unconscious with only a small trickle of blood coming from her lip.

"Kaho!" Yue screamed.

"I wouldn't get too close, you might end up like her." Alex who stood facing the setting sun slowly turned his head to Kaho. "She wasn't very strong, I was even surprised to see how weak she was. Unconscious with one blow, but I gotta admit, it was my bad, I misjudged her strength and hit her too hard." The rest of his body turned now to Kaho as well. With his eyes on her face he finished saying. "I understand why he loved her so now, and why you-" His eyes now shifted to Yue "Also love her. Too bad ya'll are going to die." Alex smiled once more looking at Yue intently. 'This is gonna be fun. Lots of fun."

"I can't stand this!" Meilin said, as her pillow absorbed her fist. She lay down on the bed and looked at Tomoyo who was sitting on the corner of it. "Do you think they'll be fine?" Tomoyo's gaze did not move from a locket she held in her hands but said:

"I know they will. They have to." A small tear fell and hit the locket.

"Oh, Tomoyo. Don't worry. Eriol will come back to you. I am sure of it." Meilin sat up straight and Tomoyo looked up for the first time, her eyes filled with tears ready to burst.

"Are you sure? How do you know that? Alex is much more powerful than all of them combined!" Meilin put her hand on Tomoyo's shoulder.

"Don't worry about it. They'll make it; we just have to trust them. All right? Really trust them." Meilin hugged Tomoyo for some time and then said. "How about you rest in my bed while I go cook some dinner for the both of us. Just relax, I'll cook something good, don't worry about them Tomoyo, they'll be fine."

"Ok." The sad Tomoyo slowly laid herself on Meilin's bed and closed her eyes. "Call me when dinner's ready, ok?"

"Sure thing!" Meilin said as she walked out the door. 'Don't worry Tomoyo, I'll make sure everyone gets back safely.'

It was truly night when Meilin arrived at the cemetery, she had at first ran aimlessly around Tomoeda searching for her friends but not until she saw a great flash of dark light did she know where they could be. Her current physical condition and past training with Syoran were of a great help at this time. Jumping and running on rooftops served to be the fastest way for her but she was still a little bit too late.

The sight she discovered was one of a nightmare. Everyone was on the ground, some unconscious like Kaho and Kero while others were trying to stay awake.

"No!" Meilin said and ran to Syoran and Sakura, they were both on their knees struggling to get up. There weren't many cuts and bruises on any of them, yet somehow, they had no energy left and were about to pass out. "What happened?"

"He. He tricked us." Syoran managed to mumble. "Meilin. Ah." It was too late, Syoran couldn't finish what he was about to say, he had passed out.

"Well, well. It's you again." Alex appeared from the nearby darkness that started surrounding them. "He saved your ass, twice. But he's not here to save it a third time." Alex raised his right arm and a black orb appeared over it. "Say goodbye." His face was expressionless as he swung his arm towards her throwing the orb directly at her.

"Touya help!" Meilin managed to scream as a golden light appeared in front of her. Wait, the orb was black not golden! Is it? It was. Touya had suddenly appeared in front of her and with a quick punch the orb was sent towards the tree not too far from them. "You're here!"

"Yeah" Touya grunted as he straightened up but there was something wrong with him. He was badly, really badly hurt. His body not only did it show small cuts and bruises but also cuts so big and deep they could have only be made with a sword of some kind. Also, his clothes were all ripped, he only had his pants on and they were pretty messed up too.

"Oh my god, what happened to you?" Meilin slightly touched his back and he recoiled away from her. "Oh. Sorry"

"I'll tell you later." He said with his gaze still upon Alex. "Bastard"

Alex started laughing uncontrollably, "Bastard? Why? I didn't do anything." He kept on laughing. Touya simply looked at him, his face showing a mixture of anger, of sadness and of hate.

"I'm going to kill you." Touya said.

"No. I'm going to kill you not the other way around." Alex countered and with a swift jump landed in front of Touya. "You and that little bitch behind you." He whispered into Touya's ear as he eyed Meilin. He chuckled.

"Don't call her a bitch." Touya said and immediately punched Alex in the stomach. The hit was so hard and so unexpected that Alex even spit some blood and fell to his knees.

"Ouch. That. That actually hurt." Alex looked up to Touya. "But that's not going to stop me." He smiled evilly and jumped backwards to a safe distance. He then cocked his head to the side and said, "You are the first one to ever hurt me…" He smiled again, "But right now you are very weak and killing you like this is not going to be as fun… We shall fight and I shall kill you in three weeks… That way, you can recover and get all your affairs in order so that when you die, your little sister won't go through much trouble." His head returned to the center. "Until then," He bowed and then with a quick jump disappeared into the night.

"Huh? What the?" Meilin looked up to the night sky, "That was weird."

"Not really," Touya sighed, "He has a very competitive spirit and has always loved a good challenge, apparently, even when he is outta control." He sat on the ground. "Call Tomoyo and get some of her people to take everyone to your house and get some treatment, can you do that?" For the first time Touya looked into her eyes.

"Yea. Yeah, I can do that. Hold on, let me call her." With her cheeks turning slightly red she called Tomoyo and told her what had just happened. A few minutes later Tomoyo and a bunch of her mother employees had arrived and taken everyone to the Li mansion.

And with that their adventures for the day were over and everyone was relieved that no one died, although in reality, they did end up a little bit hurt.

The End
