Declaimer: I Don't Own Card Captor Sakura.

2 Days Later….

She had her hands tightly held together pressed against her black Versace mini dress. And she had her black Vigotti shoes lightly tapping against the white polish floor. Any one studying her movements would have thought she was impatient but her lover new better.

She was very excited, he could tell by just reading her calm expression. She wasn't one to wear her emotions on her sleeves in front of people; he should know that much by just being with her for so long.

Turning his attention back to his Clan, he concentrated on what one of the elders was saying. He didn't think it was very important but he had to have respect to those who were older than him. He learned that the hard way when he was younger. Every time he didn't pay attention to what they were saying, he had the beating of his life but at the same time, training. They gave him time to defend him self before they easily defeated him with out breaking a sweat. When he was younger, he used to none- verbally complain but then as he got older; he learned it was for his own good.

"I want you to check with the Kensu Clan and see if they agree with expansion of our Clan. As you know, Xiao Lang we want to recruit new people in to our Clan, so we do not go instinct. There are many people in our Clan that want to marry in to the Kensu Clan and knowing there Clan is very powerful, it will provide us with strong and healthy off springs like you and Aisubeki will one day." Syaoran and Aisubeki blush hearing what Wang, the elder talking, just said. The elder kept on going with his speech with out stopping to see there reaction like all of the other elders did when he mentioned the word off spring and Syaoran. "So, the first thing you are going to do when you get there is visit there Clan and see what they think." He looks at Syaoran at this point and guessed what the Clan leader was going to ask, so he continued. "Yes, I have proposed this to the elders but they have not answered me as of yet because there Clan Leader was on vacation with his wife when I called. They insisted they meet our Leader and we, the elders agreed; knowing it was for the good of our Clan. Right, Syaoran?" Wang concluded while waiting for Syaoran to reply but all he got from his young Leader was a curt nod.

Syaoran grabbed the hand of his girl friend and was ready to walk of onto his private jet when he heard some one loudly yell his name. Searching around the elders, he looked beyond them and saw a beautiful young woman with black long wavy, bouncy hair and piercing ruby eyes heading his way; her hands waving frantically wondering if he could see her. He raised his own free hand and waved to let the lady know he noticed her.

Putting her smooth arm down, Syaoran finally notice the young woman was his dear cousin Mei-Ling and she was dragging some thing quiet heavy with her. Looking behind her, he realized she was carrying her luggage. He was shocked. He didn't know she was coming with them. This vacation was meant to get away and relax with his girl friend but know he had to worry about one person. She would get in the way of him having fun with his soon to be fiancée. Yes, he was planning to propose to her when she least realizes it. All these thoughts went through his head but he didn't let his emotion show through. He stayed as stiff as a rock waiting for his cousin to come closer.

When she was close enough, she bowed to the both of them showing respect. Syaoran girl friend did the same with a smile on her face. She wasn't disappointed Mei-Ling was coming with them. She was quiet happy, actually. She was never close to Mei-Ling but know with this trip, they could have some bonding time together. Turning to her boyfriend, she could tell he was disappointed but not angry with the new comer and that was a relief to her; she didn't want Syaoran to flip out. It wouldn't be a very good sight.

"What are you doing here?" Questioned a very tight voice. He wasn't mad at her she could tell but she knew he wanted special quiet time with his girl. Aisubeki put her arms around his waist to try and calm him down even if he wasn't really mad.

"Well, I figured if you were going to Tomoeda, then I should come along too. I haven't seen our old friends for a long time and it would be nice to visit and see them again. Besides, I want to see how much our old town and friends change, wouldn't you?" Asked Mei-Ling in a cheerful, energetic voice. She knew he wasn't going to answer her questioned but she knew he was going to let her go nevertheless. Syaoran rolled his eyes, he couldn't say no to her because he was very close to her and she sounded too happy to even think to turn down.

With out saying any thing to his dearest cousin, he tightens his hold on his girl friend, turned around and started to walk towards the already prepared jet. Mei-Ling happily followed behind them pulling her medium size luggage. Before claiming the flights of steps that lead to the small white and blue private jet, a young handsome man checking Mei-ling out took her luggage and brought them up the steps for her.

Taking the opportunity, Mei-Ling started to check him out from behind when he was claiming the steps. It was like he felt his eyes on her because when she looked up she saw that he was looking directly at her with a smirk on his face. Being the bold person Mei-Ling always been, she just grin and through him a kiss. She could tell he was taken back by her boldness because he had a very surprise look on his heavenly features. Laughing softly, she winked at him and he winked back when he regain his composure.

Syaoran cough loudly getting the attention of the two people obviously flirting. Turning there attention to the person who just cough, they looked up the flights of steps. The flight attendant saw who it was and started to climb the rest of the steps quickly. He really didn't want to lose his job over this. Mei-Ling on the other hand started laughing hysterically. Syaoran facial expression was just priceless. With that scowl on his face, he looked like an old man.

"Damn Syaoran, you always have to ruin the fun don't you?" Mei-Ling said with a grin on her face when she controlled her laughter. Climbing the rest of the steps, she passed Syaoran and winked at him playfully. Syaoran just grunted and went to take his seat next to his beloved. When Mei-Ling saw the attractive man who helped her bring her luggage up the stairs put her luggage on top of the baggage compartment, she decided to play with him a little. She had practically four hours of nothing to do and this was her favorite game; cat and mouse.

When he was done with what he was doing he turned to see Mei-Ling walking towards him in a slow, seductive motion. She licked her lips and decided to take the seat next to where he was standing but before seating on her desired seat, she pushed her back and butt against him, slowly.

"Oops…" She said in a sexy, dreamy voice. She brought her hands up and pushed her long hair behind her ears, her hands slightly brushing up against his smooth face. She turned a little to see his reaction and found her self locked with his dark blue eyes instead of his light ocean blue ones from before. She grinned when she felt him placed his hands on her small waist and lean in to her ear.

"Don't worry about it, gorgeous." He whispered huskily into her ear before softly nibbling on her earlobe. She felt shivers go down her spine. Pulling back, he let go of Mei-Ling's waist and softly maneuver her to her seat. Kissing her on her neck lightly, he left to the back to do his assigned job.

'What a perfect way to start the plane ride' Thought Mei-Ling with an evil smirk on her face. Looking to the front aisles she saw Syaoran looking at her with a disgusted face. Ignoring his face she turned to Aisubeki and saw the older woman smiling.

"I did not need to see that, you know?" Asked Syaoran in a very irritated voice. Mei-Ling turned her attention back to her cousin and smiled.

"Well, if you really didn't want to see that you didn't have to. You could have easily turn around like how I'm about to do now." Mei-Ling responded in a bored voice before turning around ignoring him completely. Her smile wiping of her face.

"Mei-Ling?" Question Syaoran. He waited for her to turn around and respond but she didn't. "Mei-Ling?" Question Syaoran a little louder. He finally realized that she wasn't even paying attention to him at all.

Getting up from his comfy seat, he walks to where his younger cousin by a year was seating. Tapping her slightly on the shoulder, he waited for her to turn around but she didn't.

"You may not want me to talk to you but I am any ways so might as well turn around." Syaoran said in an impatient voice. He knew she wasn't going to turn around but he just said it to catch her interest. "I don't want you to flirt with a stranger. I know you don't know his name so don't even try to cover it up" Syaoran said quickly before she could cut him off. "He's not suited for some one of your caliber. He's probably more interested in your money then getting to know you. You know our Clan wouldn't approve of you acting like this. It's not lady like for yo-" Syaoran was instantly cut off by a very loud Mei-Ling.

"What I do is none of your concern. I'm not sleeping with him or any thing along those lines so you shouldn't be jumping to conclusion. What I did and still do didn't matter to you or the elder's before so don't think just because your in front of your little girl friend you could act any different." Mei-Ling was steaming.

Syaoran could practically see the fire come out her ears and nose. He didn't think what he had to say would make such an impact on her but he guessed wrong. He didn't want to make her mad, he was just trying to get her to slow down all her flirting but as she said he had no right because he never did say any thing about her past relationships.

Standing up from his seat next to Mei-Ling, he walked back to his surprise girl friend. Syaoran guessed she was astonished about the whole "little girl friend" thing but taking his seat next to her, he reassured her that Mei-Ling was just mad and letting out her anger. Confining in her boy friend, she turned to look out the window.

The handsome young man saw the confrontation from the two cousins and decided to not bother the beautiful, pissed of young lady until she approached him. But first he had to do his job and ask her if she wanted a beverage. Heading down the aisle he stopped before her.

"Would you like some thing to drink, Miss..?" Sense he didn't know her name he couldn't call her by it.

"Miss Mei-Ling and yes I would like some thing to drink. Could you please bring me Tequila?" Mei-Ling said giving him her attention before turning back to the window. She really didn't want to see him because he's looks got her easily distracted. She wasn't mad at him but what Syaoran said got her real pissed and looking at the scenery provided by the window got her to relax.

He was surprise at her curt reply but thinking back he remembered she just got into an argument. Turning from her, he walked to the back to get her desired drink. When he was done preparing the drink, he walked back down the aisle.

"Excuse me Miss Mei-Ling but I have the drink you asked for?" The flight attendant said in a slow fashion. He didn't want to disturb her but he had to because he couldn't stand around with her drink in his hand. Turning, she looked at him before taking her drink and sipping from it slowly.

"Thank you and I'm sorry if I sounded kind of rude before but I'm sure you seen what happened between me and my cousin?" He heard the women call, Mei-Ling say before he went up the aisle to her cousin and his girl friend. Turning his attention back to her he smiled.

"Don't worry about it. I understand perfectly. By the way my name is Brandon." Brandon winked at her before walking away to go to Syaoran and Aisubeki. She smiled at his flirtation.


2 and half hours later….

They have arrived in the beautiful small town of Tomoeda. They couldn't have fun yet because they had to go see the Kensu Clan leader but after that, it was all fun and games.

Before leaving the plane, Mei-ling had received Brandon's number but she knew she wasn't really going to call him. Even if Syaoran said it out loud, she knew she never was going to get with him in any way. She knew there was a possibility of him being a gold digger and she was not going to be the one to find out.

The three of them walked outside the airport with out saying a word to each other. Seeing a man holding up a sign that said "Syaoran", they all decided to head that way. Syaoran asked the man a couple of questions before confirming this was there ride. Taking the keys from the man, he opened the door for his lover and headed around to open the door for him self before opening the trunk so the people carrying the luggages could put it inside.

Mei-Ling got inside the back seat of the sleek black Rolls-Royce while Syaoran got out and paid the helpers before heading back in and driving to the written destination. No one in the car said any thing and when they got to the written location, they all got out with out a word.

Walking to the entrance of the white and royal blue mansion, a man in a black and white suite open the door for them even before any one of them knocked on the door.

"Greetings, Our Master is waiting for you. Could you please come with me this way?" The butler, as they guessed he was said when they were all inside the extraordinary mansion. Following where he was leading, they all ended up in a room full of many elders and in the middle of all this stood there Leader, Souske.

Walking in front of the blue and white dressed man they all bowed to him and he bowed in returned. Every one in the room at this point was quiet.

"Please take a seat." Souske said while waving his hand before them. Looking behind them they saw chairs. Taking a seat they all waited for them to start with the questioning.

"I have been hearing from my family members and from my elders that your Clan wants to mix with ours. I understand this is not a bad thing but I want to know what is in it for us. What do we get out of all of this?" The older of the two leaders said right of not wasting any time. Syaoran had to hold in a smirk. He didn't know this leader was so impatient like he was. This made things easier. The less time he spent here, the more time he had to spend with his soon to be fiancé.

"As I'm sure many of your people have told you, there are many people from this Clan who want to marry into our Clan. There seems to be many people between our Clan falling in love. With our two mixtures there would be very strong and powerful off springs and by this both our Clans won't get instinct. Our people our very close to yours and with this we will form a very strong if not stronger alliance, sense we already seem to have one." Syaoran said in a very dominate voice. Syaoran saw the Leader nod with understanding before waving his hand and an elder stood forward with papers in his hand.

"As I'm sure your elders have told you, in order to have an agreement over this alliance you have to sign a contract as do I" Souske said before taking the contract from the elder's hand. Handing it over to Syaoran to sign, Aisubeki handed him, there's. He signed them knowing there elders looked over there agreement and waited until Syaoran was done signing there's. Taking the contract, he handed them there's before they were escorted out of the extravagant mansion.

Arriving where Aisubeki grandparents lived, they all step out of the vehicle. Aisubeki practically ran to the front of the mansion and before she could knock on the large mahogany door the butler opened up the door for her. Heading in the house, she went to look for her grandparents. She really didn't have to look far because her grandparents were expecting her arrival and were waiting for her in the spacious living room. Letting out a small unheard squeal, she headed towards them in a fast pace all the while looking as elegant as she was brought up to be.

Both her grandparents walked up to meet her in a loving hug. Parting from the hug they all looked back to see an unpleasing Mei-Ling and a grinning Syaoran. Aisubeki and her grandparents walked to greet Syaoran in a big hug before turning to hug Mei-Ling in an unwanted way. Mei-Ling didn't even make an effort to hug them; she just stood there with her hands on her sides looking around, bored.

"We were expecting for you to come sooner, so we called the elders and they told us you had like a small meeting with the Kensu Clan about our joining. By the way Xiao Lang they wanted you to call when you got here and to report with the hopefully good news" Aisubeki grandmother, Lin said in a sweet tone of voice. Syaoran just nodded and took out his cell phone walking away to make the quick phone call.

"I didn't know sweet Mei-Ling was coming a long" Lin told her granddaughter with a fake smile on her small lips.

"Yes, we didn't know either until she showed. Xiao Lang let her come along." Aisubeki said in a soft tone not catching the way her grandmother was looking at Mei-Ling in a disgusted way. Mei-Ling just rolled her eyes and asked the one questioned she been dying to ask for.

"What car company could I call to get my own ride?" Lin looked at her and handed her a small piece of paper from the desk near her.

"You could call here. They have all the cars you would like" Mei-Ling wasn't surprise she handed her the number so quickly because she knew Lin and her husband, Kasha wanted her out as soon as possible but she wasn't complaining. She really didn't want to be in there presence. Taking the paper, she walked to a corner and dialed the number on the business card.

Syaoran walked back to his girl friend and her grandparents and started a small, light conversation. Mei-Ling came back to the group and pretended to pay attention to what they were saying; shaking her head when they laughed or when they asked her an uninteresting question.

Mei-Ling was literally jumping with joy when the butler announced there was a red Porsche Boxer for Mei-Ling in the front. Not even excusing her self from the small group and not even telling Syaoran were she was heading with the car; she walked out of the mansion and sign what she had to for the car and left with out looking back. She had more important things to attend to.


Sakura…

She was so tired. She had to work for two days straight after the day she had fun with Kyo. She had to do a photo shoot yesterday for the whole day and today she had to do a cat walk down the run way and later on she had to do a photo shoot. All she wanted to do before her photo shoot was take a long nap. Walking past an also tired Tomoyo in the living room, she went to her room and through her self on her large king sized bed. Before she could fall a sleep though, Tomoyo walked in and told her she was going to help out with the scenery of the photo shoot she had to take later on. Sakura just rolled her eyes and fell into a restless sleep.

In her dreams she kept on seeing Syaoran with a woman and for some reason her heart ached even though she knew it shouldn't. She let him go along time and she didn't love him like she did once before but she didn't hate him. She knew even though she wanted to, she couldn't.

Waking up from her nightmares with a cold sweat, she heard the door bell ring. Getting up from her bed, dressed and all she headed for her door quickly thinking it was Kyo. Wiping her forehand and fixing her hair, she opened up the door to a big surprise. Screaming, she closed the door. She couldn't believe what was outside her door. Looking through the peek hole, she screamed again seeing the same image as before.

"I know your surprise to see me but you can't just leave your friend out here all alone after she came all this way to see you." Said the person from out side of the apartment to Sakura. Realizing the person was real and what she just said was true, Sakura opened the door and flung her arms around the young woman of her age. The young lady started laughing and returned the hug full force.

"That's the kind of reaction I was waiting for" The beautiful lady of red eyes said to her emerald eyes friend who was still hugging her. Sakura pulled back and began to push her into her large apartment.

"Oh my God, Mei-Ling; I can't believe you're really here." Said a still shock Sakura. Mei-Ling laughed at her surprise friend.

"I could have guessed by the way you reacted to seeing me outside your door." Mei-Ling laughed harder when she saw Sakura turn a light shade of red. Sakura sat her and Mei-Ling down before she started with her questioning.

"What are you doing here? I haven't seen you in like seven years and here you come out of no where looking like an angel, I must add" Sakura said while standing Mei-Ling up and spinning her around twice before sitting back down. Mei-Ling all this time was laughing at her close friend's comment.

"Well, my cousin planned a trip here and I decided to tag along to see all of you guys cuz I missed ya a lot." Said a pouting Mei-Ling. "I'm sorry I haven't written but I really didn't have time over there. They had me doing so many things, taking so many classes ya know?" Said a sad Mei-Ling. She didn't think that justified for not writing, though.

"Don't worry about it. It wasn't your fault and never did hold it against you." Sakura smiled at her friend when she saw Mei-Ling smile at her first. "So, who is this cousin of yours? Is he cute, cuz ya know, I am single" Sakura winked at her shocked friend before getting up to get both of them some thing to drink. "Would you like some tea?" Mei-Ling wiped the shock out of her face before nodding to the already standing Sakura. Heading to the Kitchen, Sakura put the water to boil.

"So?" Mei-Ling heard Sakura say from the kitchen. "Who is this mysterious cousin of yours?" Sakura asked again while getting the tea cups out of the cabinets. Mei-Ling swallow her spit before answering to Sakura.

"Well, you actually already know him pretty well." Mei-Ling said in a slow tone before letting the name that would let all hell brake loose come out of her mouth. "I came along with Syaoran and his girl friend." She waited for Sakura to brake loose but all she saw was Sakura heading out the kitchen with there teas with a smile on her face.

'So, that was why I had that weird dream of Xiao Lang. I must of sense his aura.' Sakura thought slowly while walking towards her red eyes twenty-one year old friend.

"Wow, why didn't you bring them with you? I would have really liked to see Xiao Lang and the woman that stole his heart." Sakura asked while handing her, her cup of tea before seating next to her again sipping her tea with that smile still gracing her pink lips.

"I didn't think you would have liked to see him because of what happened in the…past." Said Mei-Ling in an unsure voice.

"I told you I have nothing against them but you didn't know that before but any ways, what have you been up too?" Commented Sakura before changing the topic. She could tell Mei-Ling wasn't comfortable to where the conversation was heading.

"Nothing much, what have you been up to, girl? You look gorgeous as always but you seem like you came from some where very important." Mei-Ling asked with a small sign; she was glad Sakura changed the topic. She really didn't want to get in to the past of Syaoran and Sakura. Sakura smiled when she saw Mei-Ling relieved face.

"I actually just came from a run way. I didn't have time to take off my make-up or my clothes because I just went straight to sleep." Sakura answered while pointing to her clothes and make-up at the mention of them. Mei-Ling gasped when she heard run way.

"Oh my, you're a model. I never knew. Who is your designer?" Mei-Ling asked taking a small sip of her already getting cold tea.

"I'm sure you could already guess this but my designer is off course is my best friend the one and only, Tomoyo Daidouji." Mei-Ling wasn't really surprise when she heard Tomoyo was her designer but she didn't really guess it was her either. She should have known though because Tomoyo always did have excellent taste.

"I should have known but how is she? How is her business and how is her mother and off course how is Eriol?" Mei-Ling questioned all at once.

"Tomoyo is doing great, her business is extraordinary. Her mother is looking as good as you last saw her and Eriol I must saw is doing perfectly fine. Him and Tomoyo look like they have some thing going on, ya know?" Sakura winked at her friend when she said her last statement. Mei-Ling laughed at her friend's comment.

"I would have never guessed but I'm happy for them nevertheless." Mei-Ling turned around and looked at the door when she heard it ring. Looking back at Sakura, she saw her get up. Following her friend's movement, she saw when Sakura opened the door hurriedly and jump into the arms of a very attractive young man. Mei-Ling mouth was agape; she was shocked to see Sakura kiss the young handsome man.

'Didn't she say she was single…?' Thought a very confused Mei-Ling; closing her mouth when she saw her friend and the blue eye young man look at her.

Sakura took hold of Kyo hand and walked him towards her very surprise friend.

"I would like you to meet my best friend, Kyo." Kyo extended his hand to the black haired young lady. Mei-Ling slowly raised her hand and shook his hand. She had to pull back quickly but calmly because she felt electricity go through her hands when there hands met.

'Wow, she's hot' Kyo thought while checking her out. He could feel her eyes on his form at the same exact time he started to check her out. Raising his royal blue eyes slowly, he looked at her face and then looked at her piercing red eyes when her eyes rose to meet his.

Sakura smiled when she sense there eye movements. She didn't need to look at them to tell they were looking at each other because she could sense Kyo's eyes on her while she could also sense Mei-Ling eyes on him. It's was kind of cute because they were acting like a couple of little High Schoolers in love but to shy to emit it.

Coughing softly, Sakura excused her self and went to the kitchen to get Kyo a glass of juice. Walking back to the living room she almost dropped the glass of juice on the floor because the scenery that greeted her almost made her almost crack up.

Kyo was sitting at the end of the couch while Mei-Ling was at the other end looking like a vulnerable little girl. She never knew Kyo or Mei-Ling for being the shy types. They were always the one to do some thing daring but she guessed every one had a little shyness in them.

Walking in front of the couch she handed Kyo his drink, took her tea and went to seat on the La-Z-Boy. Sakura just watched them; she wanted some thing interesting to happen before she had to leave to do a photo shoot. Speaking of photo shoot, she looked at her watch and realized she had to leave in thirty minutes, at two fifteen. She waited ten minutes before signing loudly.

"I know its fun to just stare at each other but I don't have time for this. I have to leave in twenty minutes and I would like to do some thing with my spare time." Sakura commented with a bored voice. It was fun watching them at first but they weren't doing anything she really wanted to see. Snapping out of there trances they turned to look at her with blushes on each of there faces.

"Oh yes, I came here to pick you up." Kyo stated matter-a-fact.

"I know" Sakura rolled her eyes at his stupid ness. "Could you please take me now before I get there late? You know how Tomoyo gets." Sakura ended before getting up. "I'm glad you stop over Mei-Ling but I really have to get going." Mei-Ling also got up and went to hug Sakura.

"Where are you going?" Mei-Ling asked while shaking hands with a standing Kyo.

"If you want to come to my photo shoot later on, here is the address. I'll be there for like four hours." Sakura answered while handing her a piece of pink paper. Taking it, Mei-Ling hugged Sakura one more time before all three of them headed for the door. Sakura locked the door and Kyo pressed the button to call the elevator.

When they were all out side, Mei-Ling promised to stop by later to see the photo shoot and Tomoyo. Waving bye to Mei-Ling as she rode of, Sakura and Kyo got in to the black Lincoln Escalade and drove of to where the photo shoot was taking place, the beach.
