Chapter 2: Meeting Mia
Over the next few weeks Wolf grew in popularity through out the school and he gained a lot of friends and many fan girls due to his abilities in soccer and athletics. This however did not concern Wolf as he was not one to crave popularity. But peace on the other hand Wolf did want, he also wanted to know who 'shadow walker' was. At first he thought it could be her surname but that idea went down the plug hole with in the first week. As he knew that she was in his class and had not heard any name that sounded remotely like 'shadow walker'. So instead he decided to find out another way. Now Would was very good with computers, thanks to his aunt Fanren, who was a computer programmer and technician. So he decided to put the skills that Fanren had given him and hacked into the schools computer mainframe. He also applied a piece of software called 'pass buster' that Fanren had created just for him. He was soon in and was able to access the student files for his class. Luckily 'pass buster' also leaves no trace of a hacker meaning Wolf couldn't get caught. He scanned through to the last name on the list which read 'Seguchi, Mia'. He clicked on the name and the picture and information popped up. Wolf realised that the girl he had been looking for had been right behind him all that time. he then clicked off to eh site and removed the software. He then opened up his work just in time for Terada-sensei coming up the row. The bell rang for the lunch period and Wolf and the group of friends he had made went to get lunch.
Mia Seguchi sat once again under the cherry tree shaded from the Japanese heat.
"so that's why you call your self Shadow walker." Wolf said stepping under the low hanging boughs of the tree. "And who might you be?" Mia asked not looking up from her book. "Li Wolf and you are Seguchi Mai." Wolf replied kneeling in front of her.
"Wolf." Mia said with a small smile "Lang in Chinese, Ookami in Japanese so do you howl?" Wolf chuckled shaking his head and said, "No, I don't howl. I…" He was interrupted by one of the other boys shouting. "Moe Li-san, come on leave the geek girl alone." This made Wolf growl with anger and Mia said, "You better go." Wolf stood up cursing in Chinese. "I'll be back in a minute." Wolf said and walked away. The next thing Mia heard shocked her as she heard Wolf yelling at the boys saying that he was being rude and "Bloody inconsiderate of other people's feelings." Then Wolf said that he would not be coming to play soccer as he was busy talking to a friend. "I thought you said you didn't howl." Mia said as Wolf once again knelt in front of her. She heard him chuckle again and she began to wonder 'who is this boy and why is he being so nice to me'.
"No that wasn't me howling, that was my bark." Wolf said snapping Mia out of her reverie. "So is your bark worse than your bite?" Mia asked starting to enjoy his company and laughed a little. "Not sure, never really bitten anyone before, but if he calls you 'geek girl' again I'll be bloody tempted." Wolf said and then asked. "What's that you are reading?" Mia laughed and handed him the book. "Tales of the card captors." Wolf said.
"How'd you know? It's in Braille."
"I can read Braille. My friend Hulio from Hong Kong is blind and he taught me."
"Oh, have you read the book before?"
"Yep. Plus my mum says she used to know the woman who wrote it."
"Sugoi, that's pretty cool Li-san." Mia said as Wolf handed her back the book. They continued to talk until the bell signalling the end of lunch went off. "Well I'll see you in class then Li-san." Mia said putting the book back into her bag. "Please call me Wolf." Wolf said putting a hand out to help her up. Mai could tell he was waiting for her so she took his hand and Wolf helped her to her feet. "Arigatou W… doesn't everyone call you Li-san though?" she asked nervously. "Yes but you're not everyone. You are my friend, Mia-san." Wolf replied before kissing her hand and then ran away. Mia was left rather stunned. She had just spent her whole lunch time with the most desirable boy in the year and he had kissed her hand while telling her to call him by his name. she was walking along in a rather dreamy state when she felt someone grab her hair. Before she knew it was down on the ground being kicked in the stomach by one person and punched by someone else. She could hear the girl kicking her shouting "I can't believe you thought you'd get away with that. Don't you know only cool girls get cute boys and Li-san is way out of your league." Tears stung the corners of Mia's eyes but she would not cry. She shouted back. "Wolf likes me. Leave me alone." Or rather she tried to shout but it came out no more than a whisper as the shouting girl kicked her one last time. at that point Mia's mind went black and she let go of her control over her eyes and the tears started to flow.
Wolf sat in class waiting for the bell signalling the end of the school day to go. He needed to find Mia. She had not turned up for their lessons and he was slightly worried. He heard Angelina and her cronies laughing saying that they had dealt it to someone good and that 'she' wouldn't be trying 'it' again. This made Wolf slightly worried as he knew that Angelina had seen him and Mia talking and laughing.
'would they really do that' he thought as the bell sounded. He walked along the corridor and heard "Li-san, oh my god. There he is."
"Oh shit." Wolf said and started to run up the stairs pushing the doors inwards in attempt to stop the girls following him. He got to the roof and rested against the fence having thought he had lost all the fan girls. However he was wrong. Someone has thought out his plan. "Well Li-san looks like it's just you and me." Angelina said walking up to Wolf, who was backed completely into a corner. She ran a false finger nailed finger across his cheek. "Kuso." Wolf snapped pushing her hand away and flipping over her head. "You've got nowhere to go Li-san. The doors locked." Angelina said walking towards him brandishing the key before slipping it down her top. "Oh, kami. What ever will I do? I'm stuck with a complete yariman." Wolf said in mock fright and then laughed saying "I know. I could always jump." He then ran full speed towards the gate and silently summoned the 'jump' card. He the launched himself over the fence and into the nearest tree. Angelina ran to the fence screaming. "What the hell do you think you are doing?" Wolf looked at her and laughing and yelled back. "What does it look like? I'm getting the hell away from you." Wolf shimmied down the tree and landed on the ground. He then ran full speed into the open grounds. There was no sign of Mia yet. "Mia! Mia-san! Mia-chan, where are you?" Wolf continued to shout. There was no answer so Wolf headed for the cherry tree that he and Mia talked under that afternoon. As he approached the tree he saw a small huddled figure underneath the tree and the person was crying.
"Mia-chan. Is that you? Are you alright?" Mia looked up hearing concern in Wolf's voice. She heard Wolf gasp and ran over. The grass rustling under his feet as he ran towards her. "Mia-chan? What happened? Who did this to you? Cos I very much doubt that you did it yourself." Wolf said helping Mia to her feet. Her hands were cut and her knees gashed. She also had bruising around her eye and a bust lip. "A… A… Angelina and B…Be…Be…" Mia stuttered through her sobs. "Bella?" Wolf offered. "Come on. my house isn't far from here. So we'll get you cleaned up." Wolf took Mia's hand gently and dragged her out from under the cover of the cherry blossom tree. Luckily he had not brought his skateboard to school that morning. He had 'borrowed' Nade's bike, which he mounted at the gates. "Sit on the seat and hold on." Wolf said and Mia wrapped her arms around his waist. Wolf felt heat rising to his face.
'what the hells going on?' he thought 'what am I blushing for? Baka.' He pedalled as fast as he could down the cherry blossom lane, past the yellow house and on towards his own house. Or rather mansion. He cycled round towards the gate, ringing the bike bell. An old gardener swung the large, black iron gates open as Wold speed through them. "Afternoon Wolf-sama." He said as Wolf ground the bike to a stop and let Mia off before getting off himself. "Hi Ishan-kun." Wolf replied. "Is Okaa-san or Otou-san in?"
"Li Sakura-sama is in as is Li Nadeshiko-sama."
"Arigatou Ishan-kun."
"You're welcome Wolf-sama." Wolf opened the front door and some maids walked past and said "Welcome home Wolf-sama." Wolf smiled taking off his shoes and slipping on his slippers. Mia took off her shoes as well as Wolf handed her a pair of pink guest slippers. As Mia put them on Wolf yelled "Tadaima."
"Wolf you are late. Where have you…" the voice started as a tall woman with long honey dew brown hair and bright emerald eyes walked out into the hall. Mia noticed she had a very kind voice. "Sorry Okaasan." Wolf said but he was cut off when Sakura said.
"What on earth happened here?"
"Okaa-san, this is Mia. She is one of my friends from school."
"hello. Please to meet you Li-san." Mai said in a polite but very nervous voice.
"Hello to you, Mia-san. Come, let's get you cleaned up. Wolf can you go and get a bowl of warm water, a cloth and the first aid kit." Sakura said taking Mia's hand gently and leading her into the living room. Mia heard Wolf pad his way over the soft carpet and heard a long shout of 'Hooee'. Sakura chuckled and then looked at Mai. Her dark brown hair covered her glasses but Sakura could see that she had been crying. May be not since Wolf had found her but before that certainly. Mia's eyes were hidden behind the dark glasses she wore which confused Sakura some.
"So tell me Mia, how did you meet my son?" Sakura asked.
It was a simple enough question and Sakura's magical senses were working over time. She had heard from Eriol of a strange disturbance in Tomoeda and Sakura was keen to find the source. "I was sitting under the cherry blossom tree at lunch and Wolf came over to talk to me. He even shouted at one of the boys calling me a geek girl."
"Why do they call you that?"
"Because I'm smart but normally the call me the geek freak."
"That's horrible. I don't think you are a freak. Why do they call you that?"
"Because I am blind." Mia said as tears began to stain her cheeks again. She was then slightly surprised to feel a pair of gently arms encircle her like a mother would their child. "Arigatou Li-san." Mia said as Sakura pulled back. "You're welcome Mia-san and please call me Sakura." She said brushing Mia's hair out of her face. Mia then heard the sloshing of water signalling Wolf's return. "Daijobu desu ka Wolf?" she asked remembering him yelling. "Yes Wolf, what happened? Living up to your nickname were you?" Sakura added slyly making Wolf turn pink.
"Well, I … uh…slipped." Wolf said trying not to get more embarrassed than he already was. "Slipped? How?" Sakura watching her son become redder and redder.
"The whorl wind slipped on cooks nice clean, WET floor." A new voice said. This voice had a slightly lower pitch than Wolf's but still sounded a lot like him. Mai could only assume that he was Wolf's father. Here suspicions were confined when Wolf let out a moan saying. "Otou-san. You're embarrassing me." Syaoran chuckled hearing his son sound a lot like him. Syaoran walked into the room, ruffled his son's hair and kissed Sakura. "How was work, love?" Sakura asked kissing him back before turning back too Mia. "As boring as hell. I had about three calls from Okaa-san asking how Nade and Wolf were among other things." At the last he wiggled his eyebrows making Sakura giggle and Wolf groaned. "And who is this pretty young lady? Wolf you haven't got a girl friend already have you?" Wolf was sitting next to Mia cleaning the dirt out of her cuts and at this he went bright red. "Now what does that remind me of?" Sakura asked and then laughed while whispering what had happened to Mia. Wolf was sitting like a miniature Syaoran, both of them beetroot faced.
"My name is Mia, Seguchi Mia." Mia said smiling as much as she could what with the pain in her hands and knees. "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you Seguchi-san. I'm Li Syaoran, Wolf's otousan. You can call me Syaoran." Syaoran said. They finished cleaning Mia up then she and Wolf went up to Wolf's room. "What's your room like?" Mia asked as wolf lead her through the door. "Well it's square and looks like the inside of a solid blue box, with blue furniture." Wolf replied leading her to the blue bed. Mia giggled once again before adding. "I guess blue is your favourite colour ne?" Wolf chuckled as well seeing that Mia dispite having plasters all on her hands and knees, she was smiling. "How about some music?" Wolf asked. Mia nodded her head and Wolf switched on a random CD. The music started while he and Mia chatted away.
