"Mom? What are you doing here?" Leo was staring at his mother who had her hands at her waist. He was in total shocked to see his mother.

"What do you think huh? My dear son," Kit shouted in anger, "To get yourself kill! And I don't believe your father actually allowed this to happen."

"Mom, we..." Before Lilica could answered her mother, Kit had cut in.

"No excuses. Now get over here at once," Kit shouted which made the two of them come over to her obediently. "Well, hi there, Ian. Sorry that I just forgot to greet you."

"Don't have to..." Ian replied nervously, "Since you were quite busy with your children." He was more shocked than the kids were to see Kit here.

"Well, thank you for your understanding," Kit smiled evilly at him and she turned her eyes at the lady beside him. "And I think that's your girlfriend, Veronica."

"Hi there, Miss Kit. Nice to meet you again," Veronica smiled sweetly at Kit who narrowed her eyes at the sight of her.

"Veronica Tinwood. I should have known it was you who was behind this," Kit replied in a harsh tone.

"Why... It's been 12 years since we last met isn't it? I'm surprised that you still remember me," Veronica spoke in French.

"Since your sister's death... Yes, 12 years... You still can't forgive Sakura can you?" Kit asked.

"Why should I after what she had done to her? After she stole my sister's love away? I will never forgive her. I'm going to kill her," Veronica shouted.

"Veronica, you are crazy," Kit argued.

"Crazy? Hahaha... I wasn't myself since my only living family member was killed by Phantom Cherry," Veronica replied.

"Mom?" Lilica looked at her mom as well as Leo. This was not making any sense.

"Veronica..." Ian was staring from Kit to Veronica in shocked. What was going on?

"You have to die Ian," Veronica replied as she raised her gun, but before she could fire at Ian. A bullet had hit her arm, making her to drop the gun. Veronica looked over to see Kit lowering her gun.

"Never force me to fire at you again, Veronica," Kit told her.

"Why? Are you feeling pain?" Veronica smirked.

"Disappointment, I should say," Kit replied as she looked into Veronica's eyes. "Why have you change to what you are now?"

Leo and Lilica looked from their mother to Veronica. Did they know each other in the past? Did their path cross? Did things happen between them?

Back to Syaoran and Sakura, they were walking down the theme park. Eriol and Alex had left them to return to their wives. Sakura watched as couples and children played the games and rushed for one. It brought back memories from the past when they first came to theme park together.

"Syaoran, remember the last time we come?" Sakura asked.

"How can I forget when it's so funny?" Syaoran replied as he giggled.

"Funny? What's funny?" Sakura asked, looking over to Syaoran.

"Who was the one who ran for all the games? And who was the one who played roller coaster and got herself landed in the toilet vomiting non-stop?" Syaoran smirked at Sakura who blushed madly.

"I didn't vomit non-stop, Syaoran," Sakura replied, making a face.

"Quite a memory isn't it?" Syaoran smiled down at Sakura.

"Memory desuka?" Sakura sighed.

"Is something that matters, Sakura?" Syaoran asked in concern. There was a moment of silence before Sakura asked.

"Syaoran, I have something to tell you," Sakura looked up at Syaoran that made him blinked at her.

"What is it?" Syaoran asked.

"I... I..." Before Sakura could finished her sentence, voices had cut them.

"Sakura! Syaoran!" Eriol's voice made the two of them to find Eriol along with Alex and their wives, in addition, Pamela and gang running towards them.

"Pamela-ne-chan, Teng-ne-chan, Chris-ne-chan, Evelyn-ne-chan, why are you guys here?" Sakura asked in shocked.

"We have no time for why, Sakura-sama. We need to rush to the haunted mansion now," Evelyn replied as she ran off, followed by the rest of them.

"What exactly is going on? Why are we heading for the haunted mansion?" Syaoran asked as he turned to Eriol for answer.

"Well, first the kids, as we concluded, might have headed for the haunted mansion. Second, we have our jobs to do," Rex replied as he ran between them and past, leaving both Syaoran and Eriol in confusion.

"Ah!" A scream alerted Syaoran and the others. Tomoyo gasped as she heard the voice.

"Kimiko!" Tomoyo shouted as she ran as fast as she could.

"Tomoyo dear, be careful. Don't run so fast!" Eriol shouted in worried.

"I guess Tomoyo-chan had forgot about her tummy," Sakura sighed.

"Totally," Meiling replied, sweatdropped.

"Never mind, let's catch up with them," Syaoran replied as he went into another sprint followed by the rest. They stopped sharp, when they saw Chris and the rest staring at the front.

"What's wrong?" Sakura asked she peeped over. She blinked in shocked to see Xiao Long finished fighting his last enemy.

"Xiao Long?" Sakura whispered Xiao Long's name in a surprised tone. As magical as it seems, Xiao Long looked over to find the adults staring at them in shocked.

"Uncles, Aunts, Mom, Dad?" Xiao Long stared blankly at them. His reaction made everyone of the TM gang stopped their actions and turned to face the adults.

"What are you kids doing?" Rex shouted in anger as he stormed over to them.

"Nothing," Xiao Long lied immediately, knowing the trouble they were in.

"Nothing my foot," Tomoyo shouted, "What are you kids at such a dangerous place?"

"We just wanted to play the haunted mansion..." Kimiko lied on.

"Then these people came and attacked us," Seilin continued.

"We have to protect ourselves, haven't we?" Yulin asked.

"Where's Leo and Lilica?" Sakura asked she looked at the kids who petrified upon hearing their names. Noticing the strange reaction from the kids, Sakura and the rest of the adults narrowed their eyes at the kids.

"Al, spilt it out," Evelyn snapped but she received none.

"What are you guys hiding from us?" Syaoran asked as he looked at Xiao Long who turned away. Just then , the sound of the gun shot was heard from the mansion.

"What was that?" Ai asked.

"Oh no... Leo! Lilica!" Xiao Long shouted as his eyes widened in fear and turned to his heels.

"Xiao Long!" Sakura shouted.

"Damn him," Rex hissed as he went after Xiao Long.

"Wait up, Rex!" Syaoran called out but it's too late. Rex and Xiao Long had ran far ahead of them.

"We have to follow, something is definitly wrong," Sakura shouted as she ran after them.

"Wait, not you too, Sakura!" Syaoran watched in confusion.

"What are you standing there for, Syaoran? Go after her, we will take care of the kids," Eriol told him.

"And we will inform HQ, so go," Alex replied. Syaoran looked at his friends, nodded and ran after Sakura, Rex and Xiao Long.

What could gone wrong? Can Sakura and the gang get there in time? We will find out. But most importantly, what relationship did Kit and Veronica share? Find out in the next chapter.

Well, yet another boring chapter. I think so... Correct me if I'm wrong. Please do forgive me for the spelling, grammer and all mistakes. I really have a bad time now. I mean... I running out of ideas. My brain are like a piece of dead meat. Not running at all. Don't ask me why. 'Cause I really have no idea. Crying Could you people give me some ideas?

romancitc-is-best, I will totally agree on that. Therefore... I decided to put some of them out of charather until the point I need them. Don't say I'm evil. It's just that I will get myself confused. By the way, if those who read through very carefully, you will have noticed I never allowed Meiling and Tomoyo to speak much. Don't worry. From next chapter onwards, they will take a lot. Because I putting people to the back.

To CrystalDragonYoukai, for actual fact, I have no idea what you are talking about. And don't worry, I don't think I will add in more. Except probably some sub-characters. Not main ones. I have my hands totally full. Thanks for your comments. Do continue to support me.

Signing out with love,

Kit.
