The young blonde girl sat and watched the training session going on from afar. She needed to think. Her dreams were so, weird lately. Tomo, her old boyfriend who died protecting her, kept coming to her in her dreams. She could never understand what he said, but last night, was the first night that she was able to understand him.

"Beware…danger…coming…I'll be…back…" His voice sounded muffled, and it sounded like a really bad radio transmission, but she knew that it was his voice. His message, but, what did it mean? A hand appeared on her shoulder, waking her from her thoughts. Shinta looked up at the young red haired man. His soft purple eyes looked at her with concern.

"I've noticed that you've been acting strangely…" Xing said slowly.

Shinta tried to ignore him. Ever since that day, one year ago, he took up the title as "brother". The three of them, Shinta, Xing, and Ice, have tried to make their lives as normal as possible, but still, even in the modern era, it seemed impossible. They needed their life, their time.

Seeing that Shinta didn't want to respond, he sat down next to her, and decided to watch the training session between Ice and Meiling. He knew, with time, Shinta would eventually open up, and tell them what was wrong with her. But for the time being, they could enjoy the tranquil moment.

- - -

Syaoran sat on the porch, watching Meiling and Ice train. After one year of training, she already made up for the last fifteen years, when her powers were dormant. They had been together for a year now, and Syaoran was certain, or at least at the moment, that she was the one he was going to spend the rest of his life with. She definitely changed, no longer so clingy to him. He could even talk to a girl with out having her yell at him, or her yelling at the girl. He figured it must have been due to Tomo's death. After all, he was the only one she was in love with besides him.

Even though he knew he should be at peace, the atmosphere lately was troubled. Shinta definitely knew something, but, she wasn't saying anything yet. Syaoran and Xing planned on trying to get out of her. But, it wasn't working…yet. He quickly glanced to the right, where Shinta and Xing sat in silence by the tree, watching Ice and Meiling. Xing saw Syaoran, and shook his head no. Syaoran sighed, she still wasn't saying anything. That girl can be just as stubborn as Meiling sometimes…he thought.

His attention went right back to the training session. Meiling was now trying to call up the powers of Fiery, so that she could beat Ice's powers. She wasn't doing such a good job, and was getting beat, badly.

"Master Li." Wei announced, startling the entranced boy.

"Yes, Wei?"

"You have a phone call from Japan. I believe it is Ms. Kinomoto?" Syaoran's eyes went wide in shock. Ever since Touya found out about the break up, he vowed that he'd make sure Sakura didn't contact any of the Lis. Then, he basically threw him into the plane, which quickly ended the "talk" they were having. Syaoran, wary of the whole situation, got up, and went inside.

The living room was rather large with little furnishing, a table in the middle with pillows to sit on, and a phone in the corner on top of an end table. Nobody was around, all the other Lis in the family were out doing god only knew what. He picked it up shakily, because he didn't talk to her in a year. Taking in a deep breath, he told himself it was just Sakura, and they were friends. Heck, he dated her for five years! That calmed him down.

"Hello?"

"Syaoran? I mean, Li-kun?" a female voice said on the other line. It was definitely Sakura.

"I thought your brother vowed he'd make sure you never talked to any Li as long as he lived?"

She laughed, "Well I finally told him that I really needed to talk to you in a stern manner."

That was amusing to him. "You talking in a stern manner? The Sakura I dated couldn't do that very well." He could see her frown at him in his head.

"Well, maybe this Sakura is different from the Sakura you dated."

"I doubt it. So, what did you want?"

There was a moment's hesitation. She wanted to tell him something, but thought better of it. Why did all of the girls know something?! It was driving him crazy. "Nothing much. Listen, I'm sorry to cut this short, but I have to be getting off soon…"

"Oh, so your brother doesn't know?" he said amused.

"Well…no, he doesn't. My dad does though. Could you tell your mother that I said yes, at 6 o'clock on Sunday?"

"What does that mean?" His mom and her were sharing secrets now? Since when? And when did his mom contact Sakura?

"I can't explain it right now, listen I just heard Touya come in. Bye!" Click. He heard a dial tone shortly after, and slowly put the phone down. What was going on here? Why wasn't he informed? After all he was going to be clan leader.

"Oh! There you are, Syaoran!" Meiling chirped from the doorway. She was weak, and gratefully plopped down onto one of the pillows. "I didn't see you after my training was done, and was just wondering where you were."

"On the phone. Have you seen my mom?"

"I believe auntie is in the garden…but I'm not too sure. Why?" she asked. He was acting like his old self, being so serious. Over the last year, she tried to loosen him up. He was way too stressed.

"I need to talk to her about something important." Meiling groaned. She knew what that meant. Another one of his arguments with Yelan.

"Don't be too loud this time, ok?" he smiled at her, and nodded, before walking out to the garden.

His mom was tending to some flowers when he spotted her.

"What do you want, Syaoran?"

"Sakura called. Told me to relay a message to you. Yes, at 6 o' clock on Sunday."

"That's good. What else do you want?" she asked, sensing that her son was here not just to relay a message Sakura had sent.

"What's going on?!" he yelled.

"She's just coming over to help with Meiling's training. After all, she does have all the Clow-excuse me, Sakura cards." she said calmly.

"There's more to it than that, isn't there?!" His mom got up, and turned to face him. In her hand was a peony, his favorite flower.

Handing it to him all she said was, "Why don't you ask Shinta about her dreams." and she left. What does Shinta's dreams have to do with anything?! he thought.

A/N: Well, there's the long awaited sequel! I hope you all enjoy it. I decided on doing it a bit more Syaoran oriented because let's face it, he has just as many (if not more) troubles than our dear Meiling. What will happen? The suspense! Oh yeah! Here's some shameless advertising: Check out my friend's Harry Potter fanfic! It's called, When Angels Fall or at least I think it is, and her penname is, Celticillusion1209. It's really good, why don't you read and review it? It'll make her happy, and besides, this is the first time she ever submitted anything for people to read. Took me a while to persuade her in doing it. Oh well. Don't forget to review mine as well!!
