Setting: A room just down the hall from Syaoran's room, through a slightly open door to the left. In comfortable sitting room with a lovely red rug on the wooden floor. On that rug were two chairs facing one another. The only difference this time, is the one person sitting in the chair, is dressed in nightclothes and the room is dimly lit with the candles, paced on the furniture pieces, sending flickering light on the walls and into the room. It was silent.

Yelan Li was sitting in her chair all alone in the darkness, only pierced by the flicking lights of the candles. She stared at one of the paintings of the wall, but not really seeing it at all. She was lost in thought again, ready to take on the task before her…if only for her son.

Suddenly, the candles flickered and guttered in the slight wind caused by the door being pushed open and someone stepping lightly inside, it was Meiling.

"Hello…" Meiling whispered, entering delicately through the door. When she was in she quietly shut the door behind her, her left hand lingering on the door as she turned to look around the room. Then, she spotted Yelan Li sitting in the same chair as last time, and just as still.

"Hello…Meiling." Said Yelan, just as softly, turning her head slowly to look at Meiling.

"Ummmm…do you mind if I sat down?" Meiling asked timidly. -I should just be careful of her now; after what happened earlier today…it's best to be very careful.-

"Of course…" Yelan said, waving her to the seat across from her, "sit down."

Meiling nodded, and crept quietly across the room to her chair, keeping her gaze at Yelan Li all the way.

"Meiling…" Yelan said, looking at her with a soft expression, "I am…sorry…if I scared you earlier this evening…with my…behavior…" "Please…forgive me…I do not know what came over me."

"Of course…I forgive you." Meiling said, but still keeping her gaze on Yelan Li, examining her, if she wasn't sure something still wasn't wrong.

"Thank you…" Yelan whispered, and stood up. Her expression set again, and walked over to stand next to the phone, her hand poised over it, ready to grab it the moment it rings.

Just at that moment…it does.

Yelan darted her hand at the phone and put it to her ear in a fast reflex move.

"Li residence, may I ask who is calling, please." Yelan said, as if she took secret calls every night.

Meiling looked surprised, then a little mad. -She knew the phone was going to ring! You would think I would get used to the fact that everyone knows things because of their magic, like that, and I don't, but is still unfair!- But, then she realized Yelan was speaking again and focused her attention on the rapid discussion, taking place on the phone.

"Hiiragizawa, I cannot lie to the elders, it is against our regulations as a clan." She said angrily.

"Look, Yelan, all you need to do is disguise the fact that your son is gone." "Say your doctor diagnosed him with depression, and it is becoming worse." Eriol said smoothly, "Which is not a untruth, it will become worse, if we don't do something about it."

"I can arrange the flight for him, to Japan, and back to China. He needs are already arranged. He will be taken care of in Japan, courtesy of Tomoyo Daidijiou." Eriol continued.

"The only problem is, you will have to disguise the fact that he is leaving, to make it secret, and safer." "You will need to get him to Hong Kong airport, at three o'clock A.M sharp, he can pick up his ticket for flight 409, give him food, and hand over his luggage."

"But, he must not be forewarned of it, so pack his things for him tomorrow." Eriol continued final note in his voice, "He leaves the day after tomorrow, that morning."

Yelan Li was silent for a moment, then said, "How will I tell him were to go and what to do, if he goes alone."

"You may send Meiling with him, if you wish, to make sure he is taken care of, and put on the plane."

Yelan Li sighed, "I don't like doing this Hiiragizawa, but I know it is for the best. Meiling can also serve as a messenger between you and me, and if anything goes wrong, I will send her too you."

"Very well, Meiling will be our messenger, does she consent too?" Eriol asked gravely. "It will be a hard job, she must act in secrecy."

"Let me talk with her please."

-

"Meiling…are you there?"

"I am here Eriol." She said softly, but determinedly.

"Will you be our messenger, Meiling, it will be hard, you will have to act in secrecy, but…you only have to come unless something goes wrong."

Meiling was silent for a moment, -I didn't want to be a spy for Yelan, or anybody, but this is just like it! Well…I promised to help Syaoran…and if this is the only thing I can do…so be it.-

Meiling couldn't help but sigh mentally, but she answered determinedly, "Yes, Eriol-kun…I will do it."

"Alright Meiling," he said softly, "Good luck…to both of you." And my dear descendent… he is going to need it.
