Chapter Eleven

Truth behind the truth – Part one

Boring like mad... Tomorrow is my exams... So not in the real mood... Don't worry... I will edit it next time... So bear with the badly written chapter... I wrote because I feared I might forget about the ideas...

Xiao Long and Xiao Feng stopped in front of the house. As common as Syaoran's and Eriol's house. Knocking at the door, they answered almost immediately by Alex who seem to had expect their arrival.

"Get in," Alex told them. They nodded their heads and walked in. They were greeted by Meiling who hugged them and told them to the guest room. Through confused, they went to the room silently, passing by Seilin's and Yulin's noisy room. Settling themselves on the bed, their minds were still in a confuse state. They knew too much. Too much that they couldn't accept anymore truth, the truth that Sakura was, possible, their real mother. (They only made assumptions. They haven't known the truth yet.)

"Why does this have to happen on us?" Xiao Feng asked, her tears started forming at the corner of her eyes, "How can we possibly accept a killer as our mother? Killers are just heartless people."

"I don't know, Xiao Feng, I'm as confuse as you are now," Xiao Long told her as he walked over to pant his sister's head like his father always did when they were feeling low, "Everything just came crashing at us, without giving us a chance to breath. Maybe it's our fault in the first place. If we haven't engaged ourselves in finding out about Aunty Sakura, we wouldn't face this kind of situation and they wouldn't be this upset. They can continue to hide her identity from us. And we will just live normally. Act as a normal kid"

"Aunty Sakura was right," Xiao Feng sobbed, "Knowing too much only caused trouble."

"Yeah†We just know too much" Xiao Long replied, his voice gentled.

"Should we listen to them explain?" Xiao Feng asked, drying her tears with her sleeves.

"Maybe, Xiao Feng. If they are willing to explain to us," Xiao Long replied as he looked across the room towards the scene outside the window. Black beyond black was the only phrase he found in his blank mind.

Chris and the others were outside the house and observed as a lady walked out of the house and towards them. They kept themselves hidden behind the bushes, but it never escaped the black hair lady with ember eyes. That lady as we all knew, was Meiling.

"I know you are out there," Meiling called out, "Tomoyo-chan had informed me about you people."

'Tomoyo? This lady knew her too?' The girls thought as they still kept themselves hidden.

Meiling sighed. How untrusting can they be?

"Call Kit-ne-san," Meiling replied, "She will explained the situation to you. Once you are done, you will understand. For now, I will leave you people alone." And she turned and walked back to the house.

"So?" Alex asked as soon as Meiling returned.

"They aren't willing to trust me, I guess," Meiling replied sadly.

"You know why," Alex replied.

"Let's hope Xiao Feng and Xiao Long can get over it," Meiling replied.

Back with Sakura, they were all in a car heading towards Alex's house. Sakura was holding Syaoran's hand tightly. She was nervous... To meet her should-be-died mother... Nadeshiko Kinomoto... She wanted to know... The reasons for her to be with her father... The reasons why she married her father...

Tomoyo was sitting next to Sakura and was looking at her who was staring blankly into the thin air. She knew Sakura was nervous as it was written all over her face. Moreover, she knew Sakura for even since they were born. How can she not have seen that nervousness in her eyes?

Kit was sitting in the front seat with Rex driving the car. She was constantly looking at the rear mirror. Not at the cars, but at Sakura. There was something else she hadn't told Sakura about. Something more shocking about Fujitaka-sama

'Guess I just tell her after I meet up with Nadeshiko-sama. There is something I need to confirm with her.' Kit thought as she looked to her side. Just then a vibration was felt in her pocket as she took her phone out and answered the phone.

"Kit speaking here," Kit answered, as she continued to look at the empty road.

"Kit, it's Teng," Teng's voice was heard from the other side.

"Yep?" Kit asked.

"We are outside a house. Quite common. Xiao Long and Xiao Feng had gone in just moment ago. The lady, more or less the owner of the house seemed to know that we are spying on them and knew about you and Tomoyo. What are we going to do?" Teng asked.

"How does the lady look like?" Kit asked.

"Ahm... Black long hair tied up at the side like a bun and ember colour eyes," Teng replied, gaining answers from the rest of the team.

"That's Meiling Li," Kit sighed while Tomoyo and the others looked towards her, "Relatives of the Li's family. Close cousin of Syaoran Li. Don't worry, she is a part of us. And you did say the twins went into her house didn't you? They will be fine. I'm coming over in all case, so why don't you settle yourself with a cup of coffee with Meiling while the rest of us come over?"

"That's a lot of things coming out of your mouth at once, Kit," Teng commented.

"Just do as I say," Kit sighed, "Meet you in no time."

"Sure," Teng replied before hanging the phone.

"They are at Meiling's place?" Tomoyo asked.

"Yeah, according to Teng and the others," Kit replied and looked over to Rex who was smirking the whole time. "You know it the whole time?"

"What do you think?" Rex smiled.

"You planned this?" Kit asked.

"If that's what you say," Rex replied, "Syaoran."

"Yeah?" Syaoran startled when he heard his name called. He was too lost in his thoughts. The thought of telling Xiao Long and Xiao Feng that Sakura was their mother.

"If you wouldn't mind, stop wondering about whether you should tell the kids about the truth and help me call the HQ," Rex replied.

"HQ?" Syaoran asked in confusion.

"We haven't told them who to look for to Vic's case," Rex reminded.

"Oh... God... We forgotten about it," Syaoran gasped.

"Yeah, it's god alright. So wouldn't mind?" Rex asked.

"But I thought it was you who was supposed to be in-charged, so it should be you who should call them," Syaoran argued back.

"Syaoran" Rex sighed in dismay, "I really hope to call them but I'm driving. Unless you want me to get you people into accident."

"There wouldn't be any," the group assured him. The road was empty, without a single car within sight. Rex sweatdropped and made a frustrated face before making the phone call.

"He is such a moron," Kit complained while Tomoyo giggled a little and Sakura remained emotionless.

"Kit-ne-san," Sakura started, "Do you, by accident, know where is Nakoshi?"

"Nakoshi? Yeah, I do know. Why?" Kit asked.

"He is the guy that killed one of the CIA agents," Sakura replied, "Since you two had some relationship, I thought you might know."

"He did that? I'm totally shocked. I never thought he would dare to do that. Although he is an assassin, he never kills CIA agents. First time I guess. So unfortunate for him that Sakura-chan, you are involved here," Kit laughed.

"Where can he be found?" Rex asked, looking over to Kit.

"Just drive," Kit snapped at him.

"I want him caught," Rex replied, pulling the car to a stop. But before Kit could argue back, Sakura had immediately cut in.

"I want to meet Oka-san as soon as possible if the two of you wouldn't mind," Sakura shouted. Rex made a face and started the engine again. The rest of the journey was complete silence.

Upon reaching Meiling's house, Eriol was already outside the house with his arm crossed and waiting for them to arrive. As soon as the car stopped, Tomoyo got out of the car and ran towards her husband and hugged him. Eriol smiled and looked at Rex and the others who walked towards them.

"Agent Kinomoto is in the living room along with the four ladies you talked about. They are currently having tea with Alex and Meiling," Eriol reported.

"I think they had enjoyed themselves," Rex smiled, "Let's go in."

Meiling's house was as big as Tomoyo's as Sakura thought it should be. The white walls and the wooden flooring made Sakura even wondered if Meiling really chose the house. It's just didn't feel like her style.

"What's the matter, Sakura?" Syaoran asked, noticing that Sakura was 'inspecting' the whole house with great interest.

"Nothing, Syaoran," Sakura just smiled, "Just wondering."

"Wondering why I choose wooden flooring and white for the wall?" Meiling's voice made Sakura looked over to Meiling whose hands were at her hips and smirking at her.

"Meiling-chan" Sakura sweatdropped.

"We are not here to fight," Rex reminded. As the gang walked into the room. Chris and the others were sitting on the sofa and a lady was standing in front of the window.

"I had sent the kids upstairs," Meiling replied.

"Kit," Chris and the others called, "Sakura-sama."

It was almost at the mention of Sakura's name, the lady was snapped out of her thoughts and spin around to face the group. Her black eyes, filled with shocked, scanned them and stopped on Sakura's emerald eyes. Sakura looked at the lady. Her hair, her eyes, her everything. It all fixed the lady in the picture she saw when she was young.

"Oka-san?" Sakura let out a voice to ask.

"Sakura-chan, is that really you?" The lady asked as shock as Sakura was, looking from Sakura to Kit who stood beside her, "Kit"

"Nice to see you again, Nadeshiko-sama. It's been eighteen years since I last seen you," Kit replied, as she bowed.

"Yes, eighteen years since I last seen you and Sakura and Tomoyo, if I'm not wrong, that lady with purplish hair, and never the least, Meiling, I met her just now," Nadeshiko replied.

"You are really Oka-san?" Sakura asked again as she took a step forward.

"The one and only," Nadeshiko replied, "Why don't you come and give me a hug like you used to do when you see your father, Fujitaka-san?"

Sakura almost burst into tears like a little girl as she ran into the hug of Nadeshiko's who hugged her little daughter tightly in her arms and panted her head to calm her down.

"We need to talk," Syaoran started, "There is still things I do not understand. And I want my answers."

"You will have your answer, Syaoran, in a minute," Kit replied, making a face that Syaoran was very impatient for get his answer, "Chris, Evelyn, Pamela, Teng, I need you to excuse yourself for a while."

"Why?" Pamela asked.

"Please," Kit pleased. Signing, the group left the room while Meiling told them they could use the study room at the second level.

"Let's sit down and we will slowly, well it might take ages, explain things you want to know as much as possible. But there is a possibility that some of which we might not assure it," Rex smiled as he sat down.

Twists in stories are common. That makes the story interesting right? Anyway, forgive me. Sakura's reaction is really childish. It kinda of weird having a 28 years old girl doing that. I should had made her act differently!!! I should have made her hate Nadeshiko for leaving her and her father!!! What is wrong with me?!!!

And to wolf jade, I'm sorry. I didn't know it was your name. Hope you don't mind me using your name. And Kristen (The one in the story: Fighting for your love and you.) is not some crazy woman, but a woman with some permanent head damage, causing her to act strangely sometimes. That's all

My exam is tomorrow and I'm entering the last chapter for now. Hope I score well. Since my mom and dad is nagging me for to go and study now. Hope you like the chapter. If it's not good, don't review. (Although I can't stop you.)

Signing off with love,

Kit.
