Chapter 7: Meeting the Li's
The next week passed quickly without any sign of the power snatchers or power brokers. The four teens now sat in one of two limousines cruising the streets of Hong Kong. Nade, Kura, and the four teens were in the same limousine while Sakura, Syaoran, Yukito and Touya were in the other. They soon arrived and pulled into the long paved drive of the Li mansion and a tall young black haired butler opened the Limousine door to allow the 6 teenagers out of it. "Welcome back Master Lang," he said bowing deeply.
"Xie xie," Wolf replied helping Mia out of the limousine.
"Xiao Lang, Yingfa," a voice called from the top of the steps at the front of the mansion. There Mia saw a tall imperious woman in flowing white Chinese robes, with jet black hair, which was held in a high ponytail by a beautiful red hair ornament. She ran down the stairs and collided with Syaoran in a warm motherly hug. Mia noticed how young she looked despite the fact that she had a son in her in his 30's. She hugged Syaoran saying "Welcome back Xiao Lang my son I'm glad you have returned to visit us". She then moved onto Sakura also giving her a hug before patting the slight baby bump she had now. "Yingfa you're looking radiant as usual. How is my newest grandchild coming along?" she said.
"Xie xie Yelan you're looking great yourself and he or she is doing very well and is very active. Sakura replied hugging Yelan back before Syaoran wrapped his arms around her waist to lay his hands on her belly. "Touya-san, Yukito-san it has been a long time since I last saw you. I think the last time was Yingfa and Xiao Lang's wedding," Yelan said moving to shake both of their hands.
"Hai it has Yelan-san it is good to see you once again," Yukito replied and Touya nodded in agreement.
"Grandma!" Nade exclaimed streaming past her family into her grandmother's embraces. "Nadeshiko my dear granddaughter you are looking fabulous, Just wait until all the boys who knew from when you used to live here. You'll have to beat them off somehow because they are going to be all over you," Yelan replied winking at her granddaughter. Finally she turned to Wolf, Mia, Alara and Shinji as they stood together by the limousine. "Lang are you not going to come and say hello," she teased trying to sound serious while Wolf went scarlet. He walked up to Yelan and gave her a hug before heading back to his friends and taking hold of Mia's hand. "Grandma these are my friends Mia, Shinji and Alara," he said. Yelan first looked at Shinji 'So the son of Yue has shown himself, this may ease the up and coming battle'. She then looked at Alara, 'strange this girl has an aura around her I cannot read, it is unlike any I have witnessed, does this mean she also has power', finally her eyes fell on Mia who was holding Wolf's hand and talking animatedly to Wolf, Alara and Shinji. Her eyes widened in surprise 'This girl, she has some great powers within her, possibly of the elemental variety, mostly coming from emotion. She may even become as powerful as Yingfa if trained properly and can learn control. What a warrior she could become, I will have to see to this personally'. Her eyes then strayed and focused on both Wolf and Mia seeing the way they stood close to each other and held hands. 'Yingfa and Xiao Lang are correct as usual, Young Lang and Mia will no doubt be together in the near future'. With that she smiled and said "Welcome to Hong Kong, I am so happy to see that Lang has found such good friends". She then lead them away from the limousines and into the house via he front door. Next minute the group was swamped when 4 women all the red/brown hair came out of one of the rooms a joining the hallway. Firstly they swarmed around Sakura, Syaoran, Touya and Yukito asking how they all were, how it was back in Tomoeda and how their new niece or nephew was getting on each taking turns to pat Sakura's baby bump. The four women then set their sights on Kura and Nade, started jumping up and down squealing "Oh My God" with the 15 and 18 year old. Finally it was the turn of the four teens, "Kuso" wolf remarked and taking a deep breath added "Oke guys take a deep breath and prepare to be torn to pieces". The 4 women then surrounded the group squealing "kawaii", "who are you're friends Lang and "how handsome you've become Lang", amongst other things. "Futtie, Fanren, Sheifa and Fiemie, I thought you four would have grown up by now" Syaoran groaned trying to stop himself from rolling on the floor laughing.
"Moe Xiao Lang, we were just saying hello" Fanren moaned sticking out her tongue in a very childish manner.
"Xiao Lang, Yingfa?" came a strong masculine voice from the room in which the four "mad women", as Alara dubbed them, came from. "Hye Kai how are you?" Syaoran said shaking the man's hand as he came out of the room. Kai was a tall man with long black hair which could be put into a short ponytail and green eyes. He was Fanren's husband and was the CEO of the largest computer company in Hong Kong which fit with Fanren being a computer technician. Three men then came out behind Kai, each of the taking hold of one of the 3 other sisters so that Wolf, Mia, Alara and Shinji could breath again. Sheifa's husband was a red headed man from the Scottish highlands with a broad Scottish accent and limited knowledge of the Chinese language. Futtie's husband's name was Wane, an American with a surfer boy look of blonde hair and blue eyes. Wane also happened to be an aerobics instructor for the local gym. Lastly there was Fiemie's husband, Sejii who had blonde hair and golden eyes like a cat. He was Japanese and he had met Fiemie when she was in Japan once seeing Sakura and Syaoran before they got married.
Next minute the room was flooded with about twelve other children ranging from the ages of 3 to 18 years of age. These were all of Nade and Wolf's cousins. Seven boys and five girls in total ran to their parents. Four boys and one girl ran to Fiemie and Sejii. They were Trowa aged 18, Hiroto aged 16, Troy aged 12, Alex aged 9 and Ling aged 8. Three girls went to Futtie and Wane, Hami and Hisa aged 13 and Madeline aged 10. Sheifa and Markus had one son named Torold aged 14. Lastly Fanren and Kai had 2 sons Kyle aged 17 and Richard aged 15 and their youngest child, their daughter Kari aged 3. They each welcomed Wolf and his family back in their own way until it came to little Kari. She gave Sakura, Syaoran and Nade each a hug saying "Home now" accompanied by the persons name. She then turned to Wolf who went down on one knee to give her a hug. She had small tears tumbling down her face before she ran to Wolf shouting "Woofy!" Wolf hugged her as she soaked his shirt with tears all the while mumbling "Woofy back, Woofy home now".
"Yeah I'm back munchkin, it's oke now Kari you don't have to cry," Wolf cooed lifting her up to place her on his shoulders. "Weeee," she squealed her tears vanishing completely as she clapped her small hands together as she sat on Wolf's shoulders. Fanren, Kai, Sakura and Syaoran looked on happily as Wolf lifted Kari off his shoulders and set her on the ground saying "see Kari there's no need to cry" while pretending to steal her nose making her giggle.
"I missed you Woofy," she said hugging his around the middle. She was tall for a 3 year old with long dark brown hair with beautiful bright sea green eyes. She had always called him Woof or Woofy as she could not yet say Wolf. Kari or "munchkin" had always been Wolf's favourite cousin. The two shared the same birthday and Wolf could still remember the day of her birth.
Flashback
Fanren, Kai, Kyle and Richard had all taken Wolf to a museum and then a fair ground for his birthday. Kyle and Richard had met up with their friends and left for sleepovers they had planned. Kai, Fanren and Wolf were left to drive home alone. They were half way there when Kai heard a pop, bang and pulled into the side of the road. Two of the tyres had burst and there were no more cars in sight on the deserted road. None of them were at all happy and Fanren was decidedly worse than Wolf or Kai. Fanren was in her 9th month of her third pregnancy and was due any day now. She had been having pains for the last few hours and was uncomfortable and getting worried. Next thing they knew her water broke. The next few hours were hard and long with Wolf helping Fanren breath holding her hands while Kai guided her in the delivery. After about 6 hours the still air was broken with the baby's cries. Kai used a towel he kept in the car to clean the baby off telling Fanren that they now had a beautiful baby girl. He then wrapped her in Wolf's jacket and moving to sit beside Fanren passed her their new daughter. "Oh Kai she's beautiful, nani are we going to call her, we thought we were going to have another boy," she said cradling the baby in her arms.
"How about we let Wolf decide?" Kai suggested making the 11 year old boys eyes light up.
"I think that's a great idea. Come on Wolf you can hold her if you want". Wolf scrambled out of the front seat where he had been sitting and was handed his new cousin after his arms were put in the correct position to hold her properly. The 3 of them sat for 5 minutes until Wolf looked up and said, "Kari, I think her name should be Kari".
"Kari, that's a great idea Wolf, yes Kari," Fanren said with a smile.
End Flashback
The four teens now sat in Wolf's room watching some videos before they went to bed. The next day they planned to visit Wolf's school and spend time with his old friends. About 9 o'clock there was a knock on the door. "Come in" Wolf said raising his voice slightly and Kari opened the door.
"Come say night night Woofy" she said standing in the door way dressed in a pink nightgown and pink bunny slippers.
"Oke come on then munchkin" Wolf said crouching beside her so that she could wrap her arms around his neck and climb on his back. He then stood up straight and gave her a piggyback to her room. He had told his friends before hand that it was a small tradition that when her family would stay at the Li manor, he would carry her to her room each night and would read her part of the "Cardcaptors" book or anything else she wanted read to her. Sakura and Fanren's opinion was that it was kawaii and too sweet for words when Wolf did that. Kai and Syaoran however said that just like most other girls did with boys, Kari had Wolf wrapped around her little finger. Wolf came back about 5 minutes later saying that Kari had been fast asleep before they reached her room. At around 11 o'clock Sakura came in to tell them that it was time for bed. Alara and Shinji went away first saying good night before they left and were lead to their bedrooms by Sakura. Mia's room was right next to Wolf's. "Oyasumi nesai Wolf," Mia said giving his a hug. "Oyasumi nesai Mia chan sleep well," he replied hugging her back before she left for her room.
