The argument he had with his mother less than a week ago, still plagued Syaoran's mind. Why don't you ask Shinta about her dreams…that's what she said… he sat there in the airport, with an excited Meiling. It bothered him, yet, he seemed almost scared to ask Shinta about her dreams. He didn't understand it himself, but every time he came close to, something held him back it seemed.
"Aren't you excited, Syaoran?" Meiling asked, waking Syaoran from his thoughts.
"Huh? Oh, yeah." he said distractedly.
"What's wrong?" she sat down next to him, and put one of her hands on top of his. "Remember, you can tell me anything. I'm your fiancé after all."
"Just…weird…" he started. It's not time to tell her yet…I'll have to lie. "I'm used to me coming here, and seeing you greet me. That's all." She seemed satisfied with the answer, and went back to looking for Sakura. "The plane hasn't even landed…"
Meiling smiled at him. "I know, but I'm sure Sakura would be acting the same way if it was the other way around." It's true…he thought. An impatient Meiling kept checking the time, and walking around, as if afraid that if she were to stop, Sakura would never arrive.
After watching Meiling in amusement checking the time for the fourth time in the last ten minutes, an announcement was made. "Flight 26B is now here."
"Come on Syaoran!" Meiling shouted excitedly. She clutched his arm, and dragged him to the gate. He was a bit surprised at first.
"Meiling! She's staying with us, so it's not like she'll just leave!" She brushed off the comment, and quickly dodged a few people that were leaving the plane.
"SAKURA!" she yelled, while waving her hand. An emerald-eyed girl, looked up curiously in Meiling's direction, and hurried quickly over. Sakura hugged her Chinese friend, and then bowed to Syaoran. "You can hug him you know."
Sakura looked at Meiling surprised, and was even more surprised when Syaoran hugged her. "You two…have changed."
"We're just glad to see you." Syaoran said. "We'll get more situated at the house." The two girls nodded, and the trio headed out of the airport.

"I know…about your dreams, Shinta." Yelan said. Shinta sat on the porch, overlooking the driveway. She said nothing. Yelan continued, "It would be wise to let the others know, don't you think?"
"You haven't told them, why?" Shinta asked, still looking at the empty driveway.
"I believe it would be better for them to hear it from you."
"But…I don't even know what the dream means…"
"Have you not felt the strange power, lately?" Shinta didn't say anything. Of course I have…I've just…ignored it all. she thought bitterly.
"Does this have anything to do with the cherry blossom?"
"Yes, and no." Yelan walked away, just as the car was in view. I guess I have to tell all of them today… Shinta thought. But how do I tell them about…Tomo? she sighed, as Meiling, Syaoran, Sakura, and Wei got out of the car.

"Master Jing?" a young girl said. Her face was hidden from the dim light of the room.
"Yes?" he sat, with his back facing the girl.
"Tomo has made contact with Shinta." she heard Jing sigh.
"When will that boy ever learn? Oh well…we could fit this nicely into our plan. We'll just have to take that Li earlier than planned."
"Yes sir." she started to leave, but Jing stopped her.
"Oh, and Fang?"
"Yes, Master Jing?"
"Try not to disappoint me like Yang-chan."
"Don't worry, master. I won't." she hurriedly walked out of the room, leaving Jing to his thoughts.
"That's what Yang-chan said…sometimes Fang…in chess…pawns have to go…" he said to himself, as he moved a pawn on the chessboard he was looking at.
A/N: Sorry for the super long wait! I had a million things to do and was too caught up in my original story, so I sort of forgot. Anyways, I'll try my best to update now that I remembered. Sorry if this chapter seemed hurried, I was trying to think of something for you to read. Please review!
