Misconceptions
Author's Notes: Dear me…I didn't clarify the flashback much, did I? Well, I've made the necessary changes and you can either check back to Chapter Two or take the easy way: me answering here. ( By the way, I clarified Chapter One Flashbacks a little and made it a bit more understandable. )
Don't worry, this fanfic won't center much on the Clow Cards, it was only one chance escape..
My gratitude goes to my proofreaders discreet and missioner of anime, and the reviewers DayDreamer64, Cookiie and Binky. I hope I answered your inquiries I'll remember to put times now…
Meilin is the main villain here. I have not much against her, but that's the fanfic for you. San Yu is also an antagonist.
Disclaimer: Refer to Chapter One. And Two, if you like. Thanks.
Chapter Summary: The reason why Meilin not being Syaoran's fiancée isn't good is unfolded…so meet…
Chapter Three: The Li Family
Sakura's Point of View
The scenes went by too quickly those hours ago - the first attack that I dodged, the second one that I didn't the blinding pain then the sealing of the card. Then being carried to his house. Which is where --
/ ( Estimate One Hour Ago ) I opened my eyes to see Wei opening the door for us. Somehow, the Clow Card remained in my hand. My red-spattered hand. No wonder it hurt so much.
There was much pain in my right side and I am aware of a trickle of fluid down my special-designed clothes. The premonition I had a few nights before certainly helped, and when I told Tomoyo about the bad feeling I had she immediately made another costume for me.
I felt something soft against my back, and the well-known sensation of a sofa. It was all good despite the wound I knew was there…well, that is…until I heard that extremely irritating voice…
"Syaoran!" was the overly girlish reply, accompanied by the staccato of footsteps down the stairs. There were others there too - a murmur here and there with a Chinese accent;
The Li Family.
So many words were blurted at one time, the dark-haired man ( Syaoran is no longer a boy… ) trying to answer them all. I could make out some of the clearer statements:
"Syaoran, what took you so long?" "Who may this be?" "Get a first-aid kit!" "Isn't this Kinomoto-san?" "Syaoran, are you bleeding! Are you alright!" "That's a Clow Card she's holding!" and so on.
Someone treated my injury and bandaged it, and before I finished my thanks, I was interrupted.
An elderly woman, introduced by a faintly sour-faced Meilin as Grandmother San Yu, stood up. She seemed extremely kind and motherly, but the look on Syaoran's face was quite negative.
"Ah, so this is Kinomoto-san that I've heard so much about, isn't it?" the aged lady informed more than inquired, to which I responded, "Please call me Sakura."
She either didn't hear me or just ignored me and continued, "Everyone, this is Kinomoto-san. Our pleasure to meet you."
Her drone was somewhat robotic in that old-grandmother kind of way, and it was more of an automatic politeness than a sincere greeting. I tried to smile, but that just sent a spark of ache through my head.
I whispered to Syaoran, who kneeled by the sofa somewhere along the way. "I thought that Meilin was in Hong-"
Again, I was disrupted. "Would you be available on the tenth of next month, young lady?"
July 10th. Of course I would, as I did not plan to have work for now and I rarely do anything too fancy. But what for? Was I being invited for a family picnic or anything?"
Meilin was a bit furious, so it probably wasn't something so small. "San Yu!"
After that, the answer to whether it was a family thing wasn't entirely no…
…but I'd rather not have heard it…
"Syaoran dear, would you like her to come along?" San Yu questioned before waiting for my say, but to my surprise he shook his head.
"No, I don't think-" he started, but San Yu was persistent.
"Nonsense, Syaoran."
Even Meilin was beginning to agree, despite her annoyance moments ago. "We'd like her to be there!"
"But Meilin--"
"Syaoran Li, we would appreciate it if she would join us on your wedding."
His wedding./
Additional Author's Notes: If you need any clarifications, have inquiries or anything whatsoever like corrections, just make use of the review board. So I did update this on time, judging from last time…whoops…
Should I update one more time this weekend? O.o
