10, November 2005 : Chapter 09, Revelations

Quickly he got out of bed and ran into the kitchen were he had been keeping all the notes he had received locked in a desk drawer. He scooped them out looking through, dropping the rest when he found the one he's been searching for.

I feel so close, yet so far. I have no one, only you.

Syaoran grabbed the key that had been made for him and walked to the house next door where that girl was house-sitting. Hesitating for a moment he slid the key into the lock... to find it was a perfect fit. Slowly he turned it, hearing the lock click from within. Syaoran turned the door knob slowly and gave a light push, letting the door swing the rest of the way open.

Blinking, he stepped inside to find the house looked like a tornado had gone through. Syaoran wandered about the dark house and eventually came to the master bedroom where he found Rika's wedding dress, in pieces, before moving on to another dark hallway. He could see a dim light on in what he assumed was the guest room and slowly pushing the door open, he stepped back gasping at what he saw. On the adjacent wall was a likeness of him made from pieces of food stuck to the wall. He stepped closer and saw that it wore one of Terada's dress suits and... Syaoran's own green scarf. He ran his fingers over the cut up fabric of what was once his scarf before looking at the creations right hand. It held a dried purple rose and a ripped piece of purple paper that contained writing.

His eyes widened as he touched the rose gently. It was unbelievable.

-----Flashback-----

Syaoran Li sat in his office consulting a patient when Chiharu peaked in.

"Dr Li, your wife is on the phone."

"Excuse me." he said smiling kindly to the woman in front of him as he picked up the phone. "Hello, love." he said gently to his wife on the other line.

"Syaoran the results are back!" Sakura's voice was filled with delight. Syaoran's eyes brightened up significantly when she shared the good news with him. "I'm pregnant!" Syaoran let out a happy laugh.

"That's wonderful, Sakura!" he laughed as a smile crossed his handsome features. "I'm with a patient now but I love you, darling. I'll call you back right away." His voice was filled with excitement. "I'll see you soon. I love you." he hung up and looked at his patient filled with glee.

"I'm gonna be a dad!"

Immediately after work Syaoran sped off to the flower shop to buy his wife a beautiful vibrant bouquet. As soon as he picked it up he sped off home where his beautiful Sakura was waiting. He got out of the car just as his next door neighbors were saying goodbye to their frequent guest.

"I'll see you Wednesday." Meiling said as she walked down the front path to the shared driveway where Syaoran had just parked his car. Her bike was leaned up against the wall and as she was about to get on Syaoran approached her carrying the bouquet of flowers for his wife.

"Hello!" he said. His happy voice was music to her ears. "This is for you." he said pulling a lavender rose out of the bouquet and handing it to her. He felt the need to spread his happiness to everyone he saw. Meiling stood there smiling with the flower for a long while after he had run inside to celebrate with his wife.

----- End Flashback -----

Syaoran let go of the rose and backed away from the creation, taking one last look before he closed the door behind him, not seeing the moped helmet that sat on a chair on the other side of the door.

He ran down the hospital halls until he reached the room where that girl had been staying, A113. He threw the door open to find one of the maids cleaning up the room for it's next occupant. She was gone. Syaoran hurried from the room searching for a doctor to ask where she had gone. Finally he found one. Pulling the doctor aside his voice sounded frantic as he asked the question he needed the answer to.

"Where is the girl that was in room A113?"

"Why, she went home this morning." the doctor replied raising an eyebrow at Syaoran's peculiar behavior.

"But she wasn't due out!" Syaoran had no clue what was going on.

"A medical student signed her release, Dr. Li. He took her out to Kyoto." Syaoran took off down the hall leaving a quite confused doctor in the dust.

Yue looked back at the girl sleeping in the backseat at his car. Meiling was safe with him, no matter what she did.

The police had called Yoshiyuki and Rika on their trip to inform them that they needed to come home immediately. Rika stepped back into her house and immediately turned around falling into Yoshiyuki's arms. Their beautiful home was in shambles. Police where everywhere taking photographs and other samples from around the house.

Wei picked up a small cardboard box that had some items inside it. He rooted through before coming across something that shocked him A golden pendant necklace with Nakuru written across it in lovely cursive. He nodded, dropping it back into the box. It contained all the stolen things from Nakuru Akizuki's home. The truth was at hand.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Syaoran pulled the last frame from his office wall and closed it within a box that held many of his other office supplies. He picked up one of the few boxes and walked out into the waiting room where a familiar girl came to the top of the stairs. Syaoran stood frozen in his spot as Meiling approached him.

"What are you doing?" she asked softly.

"I'm leaving." Syaoran said gruffly hoping she wouldn't come any closer.

"Where to?" she took another step.

"Far away from here." he walked past her but she followed.

"Will you take me with you?" she asked expectantly as Syaoran reached the first stair. He turned to her slowly and looked her in the eyes.

"No. I'm not taking you anywhere." was his matter of fact response. Meiling's eyes fell.

"I don't understand... What about our trip to Hong Kong? Our song? All the things we planned-"

"We never planned anything. We've never been together and we never will be." he was starting to become angry. What was she thinking? "You dreamt all of that up, Meiling. Now it's time to wake up." He turned around and started down the stairs.

Meiling's vision blurred. She didn't understand what was happening, only that the man she loved was leaving her. She looked over at one of his boxes and saw a pewter heart model. Taking it into her hands she raised her arm and brought it down hard, hitting Syaoran hard in the head with the model. His knees buckled below him and the box he was carrying fell from his arms. Meiling watched Syaoran plummet down the flight of stairs, landing hard at their base. Unconscious.

Two men ran to Syaoran's side feeling for a pulse.

"What happened!" Eriol cried looking at the contents of his box scattered across the stairs. They didn't see Meiling standing around the corner at the top. "Call an ambulance." he ordered and the second man took off running to the nearest phone. Meiling stood still watching the scene below. She stood there until the police arrived and found her… And arrested her.

By the time Yue reached the scene, after Meiling had run away from him, it was to late and she was already being loaded into the police car as Syaoran was loaded into the ambulance. He called after her but it was no use. He was too late. A crowd of onlookers that had formed watched as the ambulance and police car pulled off in different directions.
