Chapter 5: Operation And Attack

Days faded into weeks, weeks faded into months and the four friends were more or less inseparable. Wolf and Mia continued to keep their 'magical' secret between them and the two were always at Wolf's house. Things had been great with wolf and Nade receiving the news that they were going to have a new baby brother or sister in about seven months. One morning about two months after the truth sight spell had been used Mia didn't turn up for school. Wolf, Shinji and Alara were all rather worried as they usually walk from the gap in the sakura tree lane to the school together but she hadn't shown her face all day. Wolf arrived home with a troubled look on his face which concerned Syaoran and Sakura. "Hey Whorl wind, what's up kid?" Syaoran asked sitting beside Wolf who was currently flopped on his bed clutching his hair. "It's Mia she wasn't at school today and I'm worried about her." Wolf said draping his arm over his eyes. Syaoran nodded before getting up and saying "Well then why don't you go see if she is ok?" with that he left the room and his son to his thoughts. Within five minutes Wolf came charging down the stairs and out the door shouting. "I'm going to see Mia." He jumped onto the car which was waiting for him and gave the directions to the driver.

Mia sat on her bed brushing her fingers over an embossed picture of herself, Wolf, Shinji and Alara. 'Will they still be as close to me after this happens?' she thought. She mostly traced over Wolf's face and it is while she was doing so she heard her door softly open. She gasped feeling someone hug her from behind and felt the warm enveloping arms of Wolf pull her in tight. He had never hugged her like this before which surprised he but settled her nerves. No words were spoken as the two very close friends sat together Mia shedding silent tears. "Daijobu desu ka, mia-chan?" Wolf asked resting his chin on her shoulder from behind. He knew she liked him calling her that and he loved calling her it too. "What would you say if I got my eyesight back?" Mia asked.

"Nothing." Came Wolf's immediate reply. It didn't matter to him if she was blind or if she could see. She was still the same person and he told her so. "But I'd still like to be able to do things I have been, like holding your hand… to guide you and stuff like that." Wolf added with a shy smile and a rather flushed face. "I hope you'd say that cos I like it when you do those things." Mia replied going red and shy as well. "I'm going to hospital tomorrow and mum and dad say that the operation will give me my sight back but I'm scared to go through with it. I've been blind for eleven years now ever since my biological parents died in a car crash, which cost me my eyesight when I was three." Mia said leaning back slightly into Wolf's chest. "I didn't know you were adopted. That's like my cousin Kura. She was adopted by my Uncle Yukito and Uncle Touya." Wolf said. "So when do you go in for your operation?"

"We leave here at ten am. My surgery is set for twelve. Why?"

"Because if you'll let me, I want to be there."

"Honto?" Mia asked turning on her knees to face him.

"Honto Mia-chan."

"Arigatou Wolf. Arigatou!" Mia exclaimed flinging her arms round Wolf's neck in a hug. The force of which sent the two teens tumbling backwards onto the floor with a thud. Laughing the two rolled away from each other and got to their feet just as Mia's mother came into the room. "Konban wa Mia, Konban wa Li-san. Mia dear you have surgery tomorrow so I think it's time for Li to go home." She said pointing at her watch. "Hai okka-san, demo Wolf said he's going to see me before the surgery." Mia said as Wolf picked up his coat which lay on the bed and put it on. "Matashta Mia-chan. I'll be at the hospital at ten thirty okay?" Wolf said giving her a warm hug before making his way down the stairs to the front door. "Matashta Wolf." Mia replied giving him another hug at the door and shutting it behind him as his family car disappeared into the night.

Mia sat in her hospital bed in a pale blue hospital gown. It was about ten forty five and the nurse had went to fetch Wolf from the waiting area. The nurse had been helping Mia on with her gown and then had settled her in the bed. She has then went to put a needle which had the drip cable into the back of Mia's hand. "No. Don't… no… Wolf. Please I need Wolf." Mia had said her fear taking over. She had her hand over the embossed photo again when her door opened. "wolf is that you?" Mia asked and felt warm assuring hand of Wolf's close over her own. "Hai Mia-chan. I'm here Daijobu."

"Iie Wolf. I'm really scared and now I have to have this thing put in that back of my hand and I don't like needles.

"Daijobu Mia-chan. It feels like a little scratch that's all and then it's done. I had to get my tonsils out when I was six and I was terrified beyond belief."

"Honto, I still think it'll be sore. I'll probably scream."

"Honto and by the way she's done it already."

"Nani!"

"Hai, she did it while we were talking and she's put in the sedative and attached the drip."

"Oh, arigatou Wolf. Cos of you I didn't feel a thing."

"You're welcome. Now it's best you lie down cos that sedative will work fast. If you want I'll wait till you fall asleep." Wolf replied and Mia lay into her pillows. She nodded and smiled turning her head to the side to face him. He caressed the back of her hand with his thumb as she dropped off to a deep sleep a smile on her face. When she was fully asleep he removed her shades placing them and the photo on the bedside table. Then he turned to head for the door and walked away. Mia sleeping soundly were she lay.

Wolf went outside the small private room to see Mia's parents, Sakura, Syaoran and the nurse talking about Mia. "She's fine. She has her young friend Wolf with her." The nurse said. "She'll be asleep soon." Wolf coughed and said "Mia's asleep. I have put her shades on her bedside table. She may want them later." There was silence then until Syaoran went and knelt by his son and said, "Well done Wolf. Now maybe we should get out of here, ne?"

"Iie. I made a silent promise with Mia that I'd be here when she woke up. I have to stay." Wolf replied glancing back at Mia's door suppressing a shiver. The truth was that was that Wolf hates hospitals (even after the many times he had been there). However at that moment was trying to be brave so Mia wouldn't be scared. Syaoran knew this and also knew what Wolf meant by a silent promise. Wolf had spoke to her in her mind and she had answered. He'd probably told her he'd stay with her and due to Li family blood and tradition he would be held to that promise. "Well I think you should go home kid. You look ill and tired." Mia's father said peering at Wolf.

"We are Li's Mr. Seguchi. We are held by tradition to keep silent promises but Wolf are you sure about this?" Sakura said. She always prided herself as a Li even though it was by marriage.

"hai 'kka-san. I want to stay." Wolf replied.

"May I make a suggestion." The nurse said receiving a nod from all present. "Wolf obviously wants to stay for Mia but I do think he could use some sleep so why don't I put a roll out futon in the room near the window and he can sleep while Mia's in surgery."

"Hai, I think that solves it and if your boss has any problem with it just tell them that you are doing a favour for the leader of the Li Clan of China." Syaoran said before muttering "About time that baka title did some good." So it was done, Wolf fell asleep on the futon just before they wheeled Mia away. Mia's surgery was to last one and a half hours and then she was to have bandages on for up to a week.

Mia woke two hours later her surgery to hear many people in her room. She had her eyes closed and was listening intently to what the people were saying. "It's amazing. Two hours and there is no marks; scaring nothing even the previous scars are gone." One voice said. "It is very strange but we still have no clue if the procedure worked." Another said. "May be we should do some tests to discover the origin of this phenomenon." A new voice added.

"Or maybe you could leave Mia alone and let her sleep. She was scared enough coming here." A voice announced. This voice was one she very much recognized. 'Wolf' Mia thought. 'He stayed. I thought I had dreamt it. But I didn't. He's here.' There was silence for a while then the first voice spoke again. "I believe you are right lad. Best not stress your friend out further. However, we will want her to stay here a while. To make sure the procedure worked and that there are no further complications." The door closed behind them and Mia felt two hands clasp her own before her embossed picture was set under her index finger. "I know you like this picture so I made sure it was with your shades. The bakas tried to chuck them away saying that you wouldn't need them demo I snagged them before they got the chance." Wolf said brushing a stray hand behind her ear. He had no idea she was awake but didn't mind as long as he could be there. "Arigatou Wolf." Mia replied with her eyes still closed. "What the… Hooee." Wolf exclaimed before falling backwards off his stool with a thump. Mia sat up letting out a rather girly giggle and peered down at her brown haired companion. 'Wait a sec. since when did I know he had brown hair?' mia thought blinking at Wolf's stunned face and then the rest of the room came into focus. Wolf then realized Mia had her eyes open and smiled nervously. "Wolf is anything wrong? Earth… to… Wolf." Mia said swinging her legs out from under the covers and getting out of the bed. She walked up to him and waved a hand in front of his face. She then placed the back of her hand on his forehead and then put it on her own. "nope you don't seem to have a fever. Hello is anyone in there?" Mia said the last part real slowly a grin coming to her lips. It was this which snapped Wolf back to his senses and he realized that she was teasing him. "You little witch." Wolf exclaimed sweeping Mia in a hug causing her to laugh like never before. They then spun each other round before they landed on the bed having exhausted themselves out. Wolf sat back down on his stool as Mia climbed back under her covers. "You know, Wolf. You look exactly like I pictured you except I had thought you may have had different colored eyes." Mia said looking at her friend from her seated position.

"Yeah I get my looks from my dad but my eyes from my mum. You've got eyes a bit like mine." Wolf replied.

"Honto? How come?"

"Well my eyes are the same colour as emeralds and your's are the same colour as sapphires."

"Oh, he he that's kind of cool, ne?"

"Hai, the doctors say they want you to stay a little longer because you healed so quickly"

"Yeah I heard demo I'll be alright, will you come and visit me, onegai,"

"They'll just have to try and stop me," Wolf finished with a chuckle when the door opened and a doctor stepped in. "Ah, Seguchi san your awake, how are you feeling", he said looking at her chart.

"Very well thank you doctor", Mia answered a non-too-happy look on her face.

"I understand you had quite an amazingly fast recovery, I just here to check your eyes and see that there were no complications. Would you mind waiting outside your man", the doctor finished a smile playing on his thin lips. 'I don't trust this guy' wolf thought looking at the doctor. He reminded Wolf of Mia's adoptive father, who he also didn't trust. The things that made Wolf distrust him most were the thick black shades over his eyes and his aura which was pitch black in colour. "Wolf, Onegai don't leave" Mai said in a half whimper, half whisper while taking a firm hold of Wolf's arm. He could tell she was scared and unnerved by the aura he was giving off but then again so was he. "Daijobu Mia chan I'm not going anywhere", He reassured her and reached for his wolf head key that now hung from his neck on a fine gold chain. This had been given to him by Mia as a birthday present. "Oh I think you will leave my lad unless you wish to seriously hurt", the man said removing his shades to reveal black voids were his eyes should have been. Wolf yanked his key from around his neck and held it out in front of him in the palm or his hand and started to chant:

"With Wolf's Howl and with Wolf's pride

let loose the inherited power inside

Clow and elemental magic combine

reveal the power that is mine

RELEASE."

Next minute Wolf felt something hit him knocking him senseless. The last thing he heard was Mia scream his name. Mia felt completely alone. Wolf lay on the floor barely conscious. He was just able to mutter "Don't look him in the face" before he passed out. "Wolf, Wolf onegai, wake up Wolf" Mia cried kneeling beside him.

"Baka child, he cannot help you, no one can save you know",

"Wolf, come on Sakura, Syaoran anyone help!"

"I am getting tired of your constant yelling you chibi gaki so this should shut you up" he yelled throwing a ball of the same black energy, which had knocked Wolf out, at Mia. The windows rattled and flew open as a tall figure in white with wings and long hair came through the window. The Ball sped toward Mia and as if by instinct Mia threw her hands forward as if to catch it. As her arms reached their full length a lilac shield appeared from her hand. The energy ball bounced off of it and back to where it originated as the winged man let loose a blue arrow shouting "demon be gone to whence you came". With that Mia's world went black.

Hope that wasn't too much of a cliffe for you. a new chappy will go up a.s.a.p. Next chapter "Yue and Hong Kong" Enjoy
