Chapter 6: Yue and Hong Kong
"I saw it with my own eyes mistress and do you feel it, her aura is very strong" Mia heard a voice say as she regained conscious. She opened her eyes to find herself laying on the futon with Wolf beside her. 'Oh Kami, nani am I doing' she thought her face going red. "I know nani you mean Yue, Mia has an incredible amount of power within her though she isn't trained in how to use it" another voice replied. This voice Mia knew 'that was Sakura, and where have I heard the name Yue before' Mia thought to herself as she silently made her way across the room to the open balcony window. There she saw a beautiful woman with long flowing auburn hair, sparkling emerald green eyes and a figure which was perfect right down to the slight baby bump which came with being 3 months pregnant. Facing her was what looked like a tall man with pale skin, piercing blue eyes, a piercing in his right ear, snow white wings and silver hair that reached and trailed the floor.
"I believe we have company Sakura san," Yue said turning to see Mia at the window. Sakura also turned to see the teen's stunned face. "Mia, oh arigato kami sama, you had us worried," Sakura said rushing forward to kneel in front of Mia. Her mouth hung open and her eyes held a mixture of confusion wonder and above all fear. "Daijobu Mia, he's gone now," Sakura said pulling the emotional girl into her arms in a motherly hug.
"Sakura, nani happened? where did he go and who is that?" Mia said very quickly and with the last question pointed at Yue.
"Hai 'kkasan, that's nani I'd like to know" Wolf complained rubbing the sleep from his eyes as he sat up. Next minute he was knocked backward by Mia globing him saying "Wolf you oke, you had me really worried there Mister"
"Itia, tia, tia, Mia chan you're squashing me, I...can't...breath"
"Gomen Wolf," Mia squeaked turning red before being swept into a warm hug by Wolf. After a few minutes spent by Sakura fussing over both Wolf and Mia to make sure they were alright she was able to answer their questions.
"You two were attacked by a person known as a 'power snatcher'. They are a group of magical people who make deals with those who are of the none magical community. These people labelled 'power brokers' use a sort of magical radar to find magical children, cause accidents to kill the child's family and then adopt the child. In return for doing this they will get riches and sometimes even powers of their own", Sakura explained.
"Meaning the power snatchers could get a hold of them". Wolf started before realising something, "matte, does that mean that Mia has magic too,"
"Hai, it was you once dormant magic that saved you Mia and we assume though we are not positive that your blindness was not caused in the crash which killed your family demo that someone knew you maybe a target and cast a spell on you to protect you," Sakura concluded.
"So these power snatchers are the ones who killed my family and my adoptive parents are power brokers. Demo why blind me how is that going to help?"
"Because the power snatchers drain people's powers through the eyes as it is commonly said that the eyes are the gateway to the soul and thus the gateway to ones magical powers",
"I see" Mia whispered
"Now because of nani has happened you will be staying with us from now on Mia. Finally I can answer your last question", Sakura answered and beckoned Yue forward. "This is Yue, the judge, guardian beast of the moon demo you know him under a somewhat different name, Yue if you will." Yue then wrapped his great wings around himself and the circle of clow shone beneath him. The light died down and the wings opened to reveal Yukito's smiling face. "U...uncle Yukito, your Yue", Wolf asked still not believing what was in front of him. "Hello Wolf, hello Mia, I hope my other self didn't startle you too much", Yukito said before Sakura ushered both males out the room saying that Mia needed to change and so did Wolf.
Ten minutes later Sakura, Wolf, Yukito and Mia met the rest of the gang in the waiting area. Shinji and Alara stood together, Alara clinging onto Shinji's arm. As soon as she saw Wolf and Mia she dropped his arm and ran to the two hugging them both while the two boys hi-fived each other. Alara then learned of her friend's gifts and started to talk about all the cool pictures she was going to take. Tomoyo then squealed saying that Alara was a girl after her own heart before wiping out her camcorder and focusing it one the group of four. "I think I'll call this one 'the new Cardcaptor groups first victory" Tomoyo said only to have the camcorder taken away from her by Eriol. "Tomoyo, koishii are you sure you should be doing that after all with a new group must come a new camera woman",
"Moe Eri-kun that was mean", Tomoyo said giving him her version of the puppy dog eyes before snatching her camcorder away and placing it in Alara's hand. "During Sakura and Syaoran's quests to find and change the Clow cards I filmed many of their adventures with a camcorder very similar to this one. Now I think it's your turn,"
"Arigato Hiiragizawa san, I'll make sure I get some good footage for you,"
"Now let us make our way home we have plenty to tell you lot and less time to tell you it in. Then it will be time for Alara to go home and you three to go to bed."
They arrived back at Sakura and Syaoran's mansion and headed for the summer room. Sakura, Syaoran and Eriol told the teens anything and almost everything they knew from the Cardcaptoring days to the news of the power snatchers. "So nani now?" wolf asked no one in particular.
"We're not quite sure yet Wolf, we still need to discuss that and we'll tell you in the morning," Sakura said as the door bell rang signaling the arrival of Alara's parents. Shinji jumped up to see her to the door after she said goodnight to Mia and Wolf. The three were then bade goodnight after Wolf had been given a look saying 'leave grown up discussion'.
Mia tossed and turned in her four poster bed. She had tossed, turned, fluffed her pillows but still couldn't sleep. "What the hell is wrong with me?" she said allowed. Her head was buzzing what with all the stuff that had happened to her over the past five months or so. Mia sighed as thought after thought ran through her head. She thought of Wolf and how she did not want to see him hurt by the power snatchers but she also did not want him to leave. With that she got out of bed and padded out of the door and down the hall tracing the walls with her fingers. She had been over to the mansion so many times that she knew every single bump and groove in the wall of the corridor that lead to Wolf's room. She continued up the hall way until her finger tips met a familiar wall. She was just about to g on when she heard voices causing her to duck into a door way. It was Sakura and Syaoran.
"So that's everything arranged, next week then," Sakura said leaning her head on Syaoran's shoulder.
"Hai it's all arranged, I'm slightly worried though, I was hoping Wolf would not be involved in anything so dangerous, magic or otherwise."
"I know I hoped he would be able to live peacefully here demo he is strong and he has all of us to help him. Not to mention Mia, Shinji and Alara".
Syaoran chuckled at the thought of his son and his three friends. "You know koishii that bunch sure do remind me of you, me, Eriol and Tomoyo".
"Honto, doushite?" Sakura asked showing a hint of the once oblivious nature she had when she was younger. "Well, Shinji is a blue eyed boy with an air of mystery while Alara is a camera happy girl with a taste for adventure. I think that described Eriol and Tomoyo well enough don't you."
"I see nani you mean. Wolf is the kawaii chocolate hair Chinese boy who has grown up surrounded by magic his whole life, like you," Sakura said emphasising the word 'kawaii' causing Syaoran to blush.
"And Mia is the ever beautiful Japanese girl who is cast into the world of magic more or less without warning and who fights for what she believes in, like you" Syaoran concluded. Their conversation continues until they were out of Mia's earshot. As soon as they were out of sight Mia stepped out and continued all the while deep in thought, 'I can't believe Sakura and Syaoran see themselves in us, though I do see some of the same similarities'. She soon reached Wolf's room and knocking tentatively on the door she opened it. She looked around the room but Wolf was now where to be seen but the balcony door was open. A 'swish' sound, like that or a stick being used to cut through the air, came from outside. "Wolf is that you?" Mia said drawing back the fluttering dark blue curtains to peer into the still, dim morning air. There she was met with a sight similar to the one she saw while under the truth sight spell. Wolf moved across the balcony in graceful movements, sword in hand working in well practiced strokes. He wore black slacks, nothing more and his hair was slightly ruffled from sleep and the slight breeze. "Wolf?" Mia repeated making the boy stop in his steps to see who had come to see him so early. He started slightly when he saw Mia. She stood in the window, her hair also ruffled from sleep and a pajama suit which consisted of a small pair of shorts and a strappy top. "Mia, nani are you doing here this time in the morning, you should be resting"
"Gomen Wolf, I couldn't sleep and I'm kind of...well..."
"Nani?"
"Scared" Mia admitted as Wolf turning his sword back to his staff then to the key putting it back around his neck. He walked up to her and pulled her into a tight hug as a few tears trickled down her face. "Diajobu, Mia chan everything is going to be fine so there's no need to be scared". They stood in each others embrace for 5 minutes before realising that Wolf still only had his slacks on. They jumped apart blushing while Wolf put on his t-shirt. "So how did you get to my room Mia this place is like a maze in the dark" Wolf asked sitting with his back against the wall. "I felt along the wall with my fingers, after being around here so often I now what the wall to you room feels like" Mia said before adding "Oh yeah I saw your okkasan and otousan come up the stairs and they were talking about you, me, Shinji and Alara," Mia said continuing to tell him all of what she had heard.
"Next week? Nani happens next week?" Wolf thought speaking aloud.
"Christmas break we finish school for Christmas next week!" Mia exclaimed excitement grabbing her. They continued to puzzle over what could possibly happen after they left school but came to nothing. Before they knew it they were both fast asleep side by side on Wolf's bed.
The morning light streamed through the open curtains. It streaked across Mia's face as she woke to find herself still in Wolf's bed but Wolf was no longer there. Mia got out of the bed and closing the door behind her made her way back to her own bedroom. She washed in the small bathroom which was beside her room and dressed in an old outfit of Nade's which she had been given by Sakura. She chose a pair of blue skinny jeans and a black tank top with the word "Vixen" on the front and a fox on the back. Mia then made her way down the hall towards the stairs. As she went she was greeted by the house staff as Mia sama. "Excuse me could you tell me were the family are this morning," she asked a maid who was opening the curtains in one of the spare rooms. "Of coarse Mia sama, the family are in the kitchen at the moment"
"Arigato" Mia said before jogging down the hall to the stairs down to the kitchen. Sakura and Nade were currently in the kitchen having breakfast when she arrived. "Ohayo Sakura, Nade where are Wolf and Syaoran?" Mia asked
"Ohayo Mia the boys are training in the dojo, Did you sleep well?" Sakura finished a knowing twinkle in her eye. Just then Syaoran and Wolf came through the back door in to the kitchen. "Ohayo minna," the two said before sitting down. The chef then served out a large breakfast of toast, eggs, bacon, sausages with either a mug of coffee or glass of orange juice.
Soon everyone was finished and back in the summer room like the day before, Everyone who was present the day before came back and they continued the discussion. "Oke minna so this is nani we have decided to do. Next week after everyone breaks up for Christmas we are all going to go to Hong Kong so that Mia and Shinji can have some proper training at the Li manor. Alara you may also be able to have some training lessons from Li Meiling Syaoran's cousin" Sakura explained.
"Okkasan does that mean that I can call Xing, Lena and all that and tell them I can hang out" Nade asked and squealed before jumping up and streaming out the room when Sakura nodded. "Well Wolf why don't you four go up to your room, maybe you can phone some of your old friends," Syaoran said giving his son a look which plainly said 'the adults are going to talk now, leave.'
Hai 'tousan," Wolf said before grabbing Mia's hand and running out the room with Shinji and Alara close behind them. They all ran up the stairs passing Nade's room hearing her squealing and repeatedly saying "Oh My God" over and over through the phone.
"Kami sama she's going to be doing that all the kuso flight," Wolf groaned flopping onto his bed with Mia beside him, Alara and Shinji sitting on the floor.
"So are you going to call any of your old friends from H.K Wolf?"
"I only have the number for one of them and that's Hulio"
"Isn't that the one who taught you how to read Braille ne?"
"Ne, do you guys mind if I call him,"
"Iie go ahead Wolf, put him on speaker phone," Shinji said before Wolf grabbed a piece of paper from his desk draw and grabbing the phone dialed the number. As the ringing started to sound he pressed the speakerphone button.
"Hello, yo anyone there?" a male voice answered from the other end. It was Chinese so Wolf answered back in the same language
"Hye Hulio it's Lang, Lang Li,"
"Lang, wow man is there a an echo over there"
"Iie, you're on speakerphone"
"Ah gotcha and now transferring to Japanese mode"
Mia giggled having understood most of what was being said because Wolf had been teaching her Chinese. "So Wolf nani is up and doushite am I on speakerphone?"
"Well Hulio, I'm visiting H.K in a week's time and my friends wanted to say hi"
"Cool well, Yo minna san"
"Konnichi wa Hulio san" Shinji, Mia and Alara replied.
"Man Wolf, how many girls you got in there?"
"Two, Hulio, there's Mia and Alara. Then there's my bud and cousin Shinji"
"Nice, so which one of you two beautiful blossoms would be Wolf's koishii then?"
"..." there was silence in Wolf's room and a sudden roar of laughter from the doorway. Wolf sat on his bed beetroot faced and very flustered. The laughter belonged to Syaoran who had appeared to tell Shinji and Alara that it was time for them to go home. "I'm afraid Wolf is in the middle of having an embarrassment episode Hulio" he explained trying to talk without laughing.
"Hye Mr L how have been, Mrs. L still sounding as sweet as ever"
"It's been great Hulio and Yingfa is doing just fine demo I'll leave the details for Wolf to explain. Talk to you soon Hulio I've got to go and see if Nade has finished deafening her friends" Syaoran finished telling Alara and Shinji that Touya and Yukito were there to take them home. With that the evening came to a close as Mia and Wolf said good night to each other before settling down for the night. The last thing that filtered through Mia's mind before she fell asleep was 'The next month is going to be very interesting'.
