Oi! (See that VERY IMPORTANT notice below? That means it's very important and you should read it.)

A/N: Enjoying yourself? The best is yet to come.

This is the third part of this four chaptered trilogy and, as any trilogy's third chapter, it's thrilling and exciting, full of peril and romance... sorta...

Anyway, I think this is a good chapter overall, make sure you read it with attention and review. (For real... I mean... If you went to the trouble of reading the whole thing, why not just write a few words about it? It feels great to say what you think. Honestly.)

In case you're wondering, it's a trilogy because it was originally intended to have three chapters, but the third one turned out to be so startlingly big that I divided it in two parts, making this a four chaptered trilogy.

Just so you know:

This is a disclaimer: Guess what? I still don't own CCS. I'm starting to think I'm not trying hard enough.

VERY IMPORTANT! READ THIS EVEN IF YOU USUALLY SKIP IT. The Plot Thinckens: Ok, no plot thickens this week. You and I need to have a serious talk. Yes, I mean you. You remember how the last chapter ended with Sakura and Syaoran being attacked by the change right? Yeah, that's pretty easy to understand in the anime, but here I have encountered one small issue. As I narrate the story, every time I refer to Sakura, you, the reader, MUSTremember that Sakura's in Syaoran's body now. I can't afford to keep reminding you of it every single second and it wouldn't really be fun if you kept getting confused. So, no matter what, remember, every single second, that their bodies are switched. Summing up: Whenever I say Sakura, picture Syaoran's body and voice in your head, but think of Sakura's personality and general behavior. Whenever I say Syaoran, do the opposite. You might even get a good laugh by trying to picture Syaoran making a face that Sakura would usually make. Trust me, I did. (Syaoran saying "Hoe?" That's just priceless.) But there will be exceptions. For instance: 'Tomoyo took a sip of tea, watching Sakura's prone body with concern.' In this case Tomoyo doesn't know that Syaoran's the one she's looking at and so I even bother to write 'Sakura's body' to help clear out the confusion. But there are times when you'll have to pay attention to the contest to understand who and whose body I'm talking about. You're warned. Don't read this chapter if you're not ready to pay attention to what you're reading and thinking. And don't worry, it'll get worse soon.

Character Thinking

(Me Talking)

All the life on the planet is based on a magical energy called 'Mana'. The Sun and the Moon provide this mana to every corner of the planet. Those who learn to manipulate the mana are called magicians. A long time ago, Clow Reed mastered the use of both Sun and Moon mana and created his masterpiece in the use of these types of magic, the Clow Cards. Half of them used the mana from the sun and half from the Moon. Now, after accidentally setting those cards on the loose, Kinomoto Sakura must help Li Syaoran, a descendant of Clow, and Kerberos, the guardian of the cards, to capture the cards which, not having Clow to provide them with mana anymore, are going on a rampage after the magical energy they need to live.

Card Captor Sakura

Chapter 8: Sakura and Syaoran - Act III

Part 1: The Girl from Hong Kong

What follows is an excerpt from Clow Reed's diary:

'I'm nearly perfecting the Change. When I'm done with it I'll only have three more cards to make and then I'll finally be able to finish my spell to save her. I only wish that all this work won't go to waste. I don't know what I'd do without her. But moving back to a brighter subject, this is one of the funniest cards I've created so far. It's been hilarious to watch Kero and Yue learning how to cope with their new bodies. There isn't a day when they don't approach me and insist that this is a vile card and that I should destroy it. After I spice its effects up a bit they're sure to become even more persistent. Of course, the card's not vile. It's working properly and for a very good cause. After all, it's the first time I've ever seen them cooperate on something that's not an order from me. How long will it take for them to notice? Maybe I should stop waiting and free them of the card anyway. It's been nearly a year after all. Who knows what kind of trauma I'm inflicting on them. I just hope that they don't develop any sort of phobia regarding the Change.

Clow Reed'

This pillow's so soft. This bed is great too but... I feel so heavy.

Sakura slowly opened her eyes, allowing herself to recognize the darkness around her. Save for the faint moonlight coming from the balcony, the room was completely dark.

It took her a while to get used to the darkness and start seeing distinct shapes. The first thing she noticed was obviously the big glass door and green curtains that stood between her and the balcony to her left.

The room was very big and the bed she was lying on had its back against the center of a wall, which made her feel out of place seeing as her bed had always been placed at the corner of her bedroom. She felt somewhat like one would feel if going to school in one's pajamas: Comfortable, but out of place nevertheless.

Aside from the balcony, there were two other wooden doors; one on the wall opposite to the bed and one to her right. Both of them were closed. All in all it was a regular room. There was a wardrobe and a desk.

As Sakura looked around, she started feeling she'd been there before. Unfortunately, that was the only familiar feeling for her at that moment. For some reason, things were all out of place somehow. She felt as if her whole self was out of proportion. In fact, when she tried to sit up she found out her very sense of balance was disturbed and nearly fell off the bed when pulling her legs to its side. When she did so, she noticed she wasn't wearing her bunny suit anymore. She couldn't see much, but she could tell by touch that she was now wearing a T-shirt and a pair of pants.

Standing up was even more challenging. Her body just refused to stand still and kept leaning to one side or the other as she shifted her weight from leg to leg. She tried to step forward but fell back on the bed.

What's wrong with me?

An incidental glimpse at the cupboard at her side distracted her from that problem. It was actually a particular photograph that caught her attention.

In the dark, it was hard to make out all of the faces in the picture, but she was sure one of them was Syaoran. There were also six other people on the frame, all women. Sakura supposed those were the many older sisters she recalled Syaoran mentioning; though she was almost sure that he had said four sisters. So the taller woman should be his mother. That left only a girl beside Syaoran. She was too young to be one of Syaoran's older sisters. In fact they were apparently the same age. As Sakura narrowed her eyes she noticed that the girl had an arm around him and a very unique grin on. Her grin was fierce like fire, and so was everything else about her. Sakura could tell just by the photograph that she had a lot of presence.

Who could this be?

She decided to ignore that matter for now. At least she knew where she was now. Next on her list was learning how to walk again, and then finding Syaoran or Wei or anybody else for that matter.

She pushed herself back on her two feet and, this time, managed to take a couple of steps forward before loosing her balance again. She stumbled back a bit but kept standing, and after a few more tries she was already walking almost like a normal person.

"Alright, now to... Hoe?!" She stopped midway through her sentence, bringing her hand to her throat. My voice is weird too. She started sweating nervously. Her voice was not only weird; it was a boy's voice. A familiar one at that. She hesitated a bit, but finally opened her mouth again too see if she hadn't imagined it. "Ahhh." The same boyish voice came out.

Sakura desperately tried to recall the last events before she passed out. She had captured The Jump, and amidst celebration something attacked them. It was a Clow card. Did it do this too me?

She started walking out of the room, hoping someone on the house could give her explanations. First she tried the door opposite to the bed. She slowly turned the doorknob and pushed it forward.

The room was dark just like the one she'd just come out of. The faint moonlight coming from a small window allowed her to recognize the place as a bathroom. A huge bathroom. The kind she'd seen in movies or in fancy hotel commercials. The bathtub alone was the size of the bathroom in her house. It even had one of those stylish lion heads from where water comes out. There was also a huge mirror that covered a whole wall. Other than that, there was only regular bathroom stuff, though it all seemed to be of a higher value than your everyday toilet.

Sakura was amazed at all that luxury. Syaoran certainly didn't match that kind of place. He didn't have that snotty rich feeling to him. Sakura too often forgot he was heir to a wealthy family.

All of that vanished completely from her mind when she looked straight in the mirror, finally getting a good view of her reflex.

Meanwhile, at the living room.

Tomoyo took a sip of tea, watching Sakura's prone body with concern. The unconscious girl was now dry and wearing Syaoran's T-shirt and pants, her bunny suit in the washing machine.

"Thank you for picking us up Wei-san." She said, turning her attention to the man. "Me and Kero-chan would never manage to carry these two all the way here on our own."

Wei shook his head "Think nothing of it Daidouji-san. It's a good thing you had our number registered on your cellphone." He said, and Tomoyo smiled thankfully.

They smiled to each other for a couple of seconds, but their faces slowly gave place to concern again, as they shifted their gazes back to the girl passed out on the sofa.

"Are you sure there's nothing we can do Kero-chan?" Tomoyo asked the guardian who was staring intently at Sakura too, with a serious face. Kero didn't show any kind of response. He was actually trying to hide his concern so Tomoyo wouldn't get even more worried. "Kero-chan?" The girl insisted.

Kero sighed. "If we knew what card did this we could try to do something, but right now we have to wait for them to wake up and see if there's anything changed in them."

Tomoyo cringed. "Changed?"

"Yes, many cards can have effects that change people's characteristics. The Voice can steal your voice; the Dash can make you an amazing runner and so on. Since the card just attacked and ran away it probably did something to them." Kero answered.

And so, with nothing left to say, they sat there waiting. Sakura's loud and steady breathing being the only noise that filled the room. A silent tension was growing inside the three, manifesting in constant fidgeting and occasional standing up and walking around for a minute.

After a while of nothing happening Wei manifested himself. "I'll go check up on Syaoran-sama." He said. It didn't make much of a difference though. A second later their attention was drawn to Syaoran's room.

"Hoeee?!" Came a loud scream, muffled by the walls, followed by a loud thud.

"Syaoran-sama!" Wei exclaimed as he ran to the source of the scream.

"Was that the brat?" Kero asked looking at the closed door across the room with confusion.

Tomoyo was somewhat confused too. "I don't know... that scream was rather..." She paused, searching for the right word.

"Girlish." Kero completed.

Tomoyo sweat dropped. "Yeah..." She said.

"Syaoran-sama!" Wei shouted again when he opened the door to the room. Tomoyo and Kero followed suit.

There, leaning against the door to the bathroom, was Sakura. Her face was pale and sweaty, and her gaze was aimed straight at something inside the bathroom with something in it that could only be identified as fear. Her mouth was trembling and mumbling unintelligible words and she seemed barely aware of their presence. Little did they know Sakura was the one actually residing in that body.

"Li-kun, what's wrong?" Tomoyo asked. She walked towards the boy slowly, half concerned and half scared. She'd rarely ever seen Syaoran loose his composure like that, and every time it'd happened, it was because he was embarrassed about something, not afraid.

This time Sakura noticed she had company. She looked at Tomoyo in the eye.

The moment their glances met, the ebony haired girl felt something really strange. She couldn't have put in words if she tried to, but it was quite similar to the feeling one gets when looking at an optic illusion, like seeing two things in the same place and at the same time.

Sakura's new eyes then took notice of Wei and Kero."T-Tomoyo-chan? Kero-chan? Wei-san?" The scared girl said. "W-what's going on? What happened?" She asked rather panicky.

Tomoyo had no idea how to answer that question, seeing as she was asking herself the exact same thing. Did he call me Tomoyo-chan? "Li-kun, what happened to you?"

Sakura flinched and cringed at the mention of his name.

"Yeah brat, tell us." Kero demanded impatiently. Sakura cringed even more.

And so, Wei delivered the final blow. "Syaoran-sama, please, tell us what's wrong. Kinomoto-san is still asleep and we're very concerned about both of you."

Sakura took a couple of steps back. She looked at herself in the mirror one more time and this time had no doubt it was real. She somehow had turned into Syaoran. "I..." She couldn't verbalize anything more. After staring at her reflection for no more than two seconds she fell on her knees and did the only thing she could possibly think of doing. She cried like there was no tomorrow.

The trio watched the scene with their mouths hanging open. They were sure that whatever the card had done, it was powerful.

Wei was particularly scared, seeing as he knew better than anyone else in that room that it would take something like the death of his mother to make Syaoran cry like that. He was the first to step forward, being more used to living with Syaoran he also felt more confident than the other two. "Syaoran-sama, please calm down. I'm sure whatever happened we'll find a way to fix it."

Sakura's sobbing slowed down a bit. She was starting to overcome the shock of the moment and rationalize her actions. She knew she had to tell them what was happening after all. Taking a deep breath she started explaining herself. "I... I'm not Li-kun." She said, half to the trio and half to herself.

That sentence itself didn't cause much impact at first. Instead, Kero just insisted in the questioning. "You're not making any sense brat." He said.

"I'm not Li-kun!" Sakura repeated herself. "It's me Kero-chan."

Kero raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you're ok?" He asked. However, when his mind finally picked the misplaced 'Kero-chan' in Sakura's sentence, he had an insight of understanding of the whole situation. "Oh no!" He exclaimed, pointing at Sakura indiscreetly "S-Sakura? It's you?!" Tomoyo and Wei looked at Sakura with cautious curiosity. They were beginning to understand and fear the situation.

Sakura slowly nodded. The surprise in Kero's face, whatever it meant, wasn't a good thing, and it only helped in making her feel more scared. "I woke up like this already." She said, and it seemed like she was going to break into tears once again. "What happened, Kero-chan?"

Kero tried not to show how much he was feeling sorry for her misfortune. "It's the Change card. It switches people's bodies and..." He paused. "Well, suffice to say that sometimes it goes further than switching bodies." He said, scared of his own thoughts.

Sakura's lips started trembling again. "W-what do you mean?"

Kero shook his head hard to force himself to stop wondering about the card and focus on the present matter. "Sakura, don't worry." He said, frowning confidently. "It's just temporary. We'll get you back to your old self in no time." He told the girl, trying to smile reassuringly.

Sakura smiled thankfully in response, which caused a very weird effect in Syaoran's face.

Tomoyo stepped forward. She was fighting with the logical side of herself to accept what she was seeing. It really couldn't be Syaoran. And those eyes, though amber colored, had the same sparkle that Sakura's had, as opposed to Syaoran's coldness. "Sakura-chan... is it really you?" She asked.

Sakura nodded, her smile fading away. "Yes." She said, ashamed, as if it was her mistake to be in that position.

Tomoyo didn't even hesitate to jump forward and hug her friend tightly, despite all the awkwardness.

As she returned the hug, Sakura could feel a warm comforting feeling inside herself. She had no idea how much she needed that gesture two seconds before. Her tears started flowing like crazy, taking away all of the fear with them. Sakura knew Tomoyo was also taking the pain within her and that was probably the only thing that stopped her from panicking. "Thank you Tomoyo-chan." She whispered in her friend's ear.

Tomoyo tightened her hug. "It's alright Sakura-chan. Because it's you, it's going to be alright." She said.

They finally let go of the hug. Sakura wiped the tears off her face, with a smile on again. "I'm sorry I got so scared." She said to the others. "It sounds silly doesn't it? I mean, it's just another card."

Kero shook his head as a sign of denial. "Don't be sorry. You had all the right to be shocked." He said. "But from now on you need to be strong and help us fix this situation."

"Right!" Sakura agreed.

Wei discreetly cleared his throat to get their attention. For someone who had just watched such an emotional scene he looked pretty relaxed and actually had a smile on. "Kinomoto-san, I'm glad you've overcome this initial shock and I don't want to bring any more concerns to you, but I think we should remember that Li-san is probably in your body now, and he should wake up soon."

Sakura nodded, not really surprised. Fortunately she had already thought of that a while ago and was already coming to terms with it too. "I know... he's probably going to be pretty shocked." She answered.

Tomoyo and Kero exchanged nervous glances, recalling Syaoran's short flash of consciousness at the Penguin Park. It made much more sense now.

Kero sighed. "Actually..." And then, he moved on to explain the past events since Sakura was attacked.

Sonomi Daidouji quickly dialed the number to the Kinomoto's residence on her phone. She waited for somebody to answer the call, fidgeting nervously and walking from side to side.

Finally the answer came in Nadeshiko's voice. "Hello."

"Nadeshiko-chan! Hello." She said, a bit too quickly.

"Sonomi-chan!" The voice answered, pleasantly surprised. "How have you been?"

"Fine, just fine." Sonomi answered hastily. "Listen, are Sakura-chan and Tomoyo-chan over there?"

"No... I haven't seen Sakura-chan since I got home. I thought she would be over at your house."

Sonomi sighed. "I've just got here, and the maids told me Tomoyo-chan went out to meet Sakura-chan a while ago. I really need her here right now. I tried her cellphone but I got a message saying she had no signal."

There was a small pause.

"That's strange. There's signal for cellphones everywhere in Tokyo, and I don't recall any storm or anything else that could have blocked it today."

"That's why I thought it was so weird. I'll try her cellphone again. Maybe it was a problem with the telephone company."

"This is even weirder than when I looked at the mirror." Sakura said, as she stared at her own sleeping face. The dark mood that had befallen her before had vanished, and she was already accepting the situation as weird rather than fearful.

Kero chuckled. "You should have seen his face." He said. "He was absolutely terrified. Even more than you were."

Tomoyo frowned. "That's not very nice Kero-chan. You'd be very scared if you suddenly woke up in Li-kun's body."

Kero shivered. "Please, don't ever say that again!" He exclaimed. "I feel bad enough for Sakura. If I was in the brat's body I'd do myself and the world a favor and jump out of that window right now." He said before falling in hysterical laughter. Yue was already bad enough for me. He thought

Sakura ignored the little guardian. She was too fascinated with her peaceful sleeping face breathing in and out softly. "Do you think he'll wake up soon?"

Tomoyo and Kero stopped their teasing and turned their attention to Sakura.

Kero shrugged his shoulders. "Who knows? We tried to wake him up a while ago, but it did no good. We'll just have to wait."

Sakura sighed. "I hope we find a way to get back to normal soon." She said. "Not that I don't trust Li-kun but... I don't think there's anything more uncomfortable than this in the world."

Tomoyo giggled. "I think you're taking it better than Li-kun so far." Sakura laughed in response, but not very cheerfully, so Tomoyo held back her giggles. "Don't worry Sakura-chan. It's not permanent, I'm sure Kero-chan already knows how to fix you two. Right Kero-chan?"

Kero sweat dropped. "Well... I do know what will reverse the spell but... I don't know how to get it."

Both girls raised one eyebrow. "What do you mean?" Sakura asked, tensing up.

"The only way to reverse the Change's spell..." He was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Huh?"

Wei came out of the kitchen. "That's weird. Why didn't the gatekeeper warn us? He shouldn't let people in without our confirmation." He walked to the door.

"Maybe it's someone from the building." Tomoyo suggested.

"Quick, hide Kero-chan!" Sakura said, shoving Kero under a pillow on the couch. Kero didn't protest.

"Who is it?" Wei asked, leaning towards the door.

Sakura and Tomoyo couldn't understand what the person on the door was saying, and accounted that to a weird accent. They could tell however that it was a girl's voice. It was also evident that Wei knew that voice, because he immediately changed his expression to one of surprise.

Wei looked through the peephole and became even more shocked. He immediately opened the door, but neither Sakura nor Tomoyo could see who the girl was.

She immediately buried her face in Wei, holding him tight. The only thing they could tell about her was her long dark hair tied in two opposite ponytails, her height, which was about the same as them, and her voice, which was high pitched and powerful. One could guess she was the kind who always makes her presence known. She also gave out a feeling of intense happiness that reminded Tomoyo of Sakura's own aura of cheerfulness, but in a less discrete way.

They couldn't understand a word of the short conversation that ensued between the girl and Wei, and before Sakura could even question herself about what was happening, the mysterious girl looked at her.

Sakura instantly recognized her as the girl in the picture, the one that was hugging Syaoran. That was good thing, cause it reduced her shock when the girl's eyes filled with tears and she jumped over her much like she did to Wei. However, this time she jumped with such strength that both of them were thrown on the floor.

"Xiao Lang!" The girl exclaimed. Sakura recognized Syaoran's name and remembered that as far as that girl knew, she was him.

Even though she felt sorry for Sakura, Tomoyo was finding the situation rather amusing. The mysterious girl was talking nonstop with teary eyes and Sakura couldn't understand a word or even explain the misunderstanding.

"Mei Ling-san..." Wei started, but the girl interrupted him.

"I'm sorry. I have to talk in Japanese now, right? Ok." She prompted herself up, much to Sakura's relief. "Oh Syaoran, I'm so happy! There are so many things I've..." She stopped midway trough her sentence, recognizing the room around her.

Her eyes slowly shifted from Tomoyo to Sakura's unconscious body on the couch. Her face started to get red and her hands clenched up in tight fists. "Who... what in the world are these girls doing in your apartment at such a late hour? And why is that one wearing your clothes?!" All of a sudden, that intense happiness she emanated turned into an anger of the same intensity. That change was amazing seeing how fast and sharply it'd happened. Almost as if that angry side had been dying to jump out all along.

Wei sighed deeply. She couldn't have had worse timing. He thought.

Sakura didn't know how to react. She just stood there, sitting on the floor, looking back at the girl who was hugging her a second ago and now looked like she was about to beat her up to oblivion.

Before anybody could try to explain the situation to the girl she was already beside the couch, shaking who she judged was a stranger sleeping on Syaoran's couch. "Hey! Wake up girl! It's time to go home! You're being inconvenient."

Everybody in the room sweat dropped. "Who's being inconvenient?" Tomoyo muttered under her breath, annoyed.

The girl glared at Tomoyo. "What did you say?"

Tomoyo raised an eyebrow. "I'm sorry, but you might want to at least introduce yourself before trying to kick people out of someone else's house." Sakura was a bit surprised by Tomoyo's harsh behavior. Though it was a justified behavior, considering how intrusive the Chinese girl was being.

The girl frowned, but upon meeting a reprehensive look from Wei she contained herself. "I'm Li Mei Ling, and I'm here to pick up Syaoran and Wei-san for dinner with his mother and a friend of hers. We are already running late and sleeping beauty here isn't helping us." She said.

Wei decided to step in. "I'm really sorry Daidouji-san, this is quite a surprise for me too. This is Syaoran-sama's cousin from Hong Kong. I believe we all have some explanations to do, right?" He said.

"Well, it'll have to wait!" Mei Ling shouted. "Wei-san, could you show these two the way out while Syaoran puts on some less casual clothes for the dinner?"

Sakura's eyes widened. "Hoe?" She blushed bright red at the thought of having to change clothes.

"It's a fancy dinner. You can't go wearing that. Hurry up, Yelan-san is waiting downstairs in the car." She picked Sakura up and pushed her all the way to Syaoran's bedroom. "This is your new room right? Then hurry and get changed, I'll be waiting downstairs." She gave Sakura a big push inside the room and slammed the door shut.

"Mei Ling-sama, if you would just calm down and listen..." Wei started, but the girl was already walking out the door.

"There's no time Wei-san! Maybe if Syaoran hadn't brought these two here we could talk, but right now we still have to wake sleeping beauty and show them the way out. I'll be in the car apologizing to Yelan-san for the delay, so if you would please take care of these girls..." And so she walked into the elevator.

"Mei Ling-sama, wait!" Wei shouted, but it was too late. The elevator doors had closed and she was already on her way down. "Spunky as ever..." He said under a sigh. He pressed the call button for the elevator, though it would take a while for it to go all the way down and up again.

Inside the elevator, Mei Ling was holding herself not to punch the wall. "How dare you Xiao Lang?!" She muttered. "I come here only for you and I find out that you, who have never befriended anyone your age except for me, are having two girls over at your apartment." And I bet that one of them was that Kinomoto girl. She frowned as hard as her muscles allowed her, and let all of her tears fall down, wiping them away upon the opening of the elevator doors. "I just wanted it to be a nice surprise."

Meanwhile, Sakura was coming out of Syaoran's room. "What was that?" She asked nobody in particular.

Kero flew out of his hideout. "I don't know, but that girl's got some serious issues."

Wei walked in the room. "I'm really sorry for all this; Mei Ling-sama is really close to Syaoran-sama, so she tends to get a little jealous around other girls."

Kero snickered. "A little? Talk about being intense."

Tomoyo sweat dropped. "I could see that... If she knew that this Li-kun is actually Sakura she would probably go crazy."

Sakura was blushing. "I had no idea Li-kun had such an eccentric cousin. He's so calm and cool and she's..."

Wei chuckled. "I know, but Syaoran-sama cares a lot for Mei Ling-sama too." The elevator dinged and its doors opened. "Oh, it's here. Kinomoto-san, please, come down with me so we can explain the misunderstanding."

Sakura nodded. "Alright." She said with a bit of hesitation.

"Daidouji-san, Kerberos-san, please take care of Li-san. We'll be right back." Wei said as he and Sakura entered the elevator.

"Don't worry Wei-san, he's in good hands." Tomoyo confirmed.

Wei smiled at her. "Thank you." He pushed the lobby button and the automated doors closed.

Tomoyo exchanged tired glances with Kero. "It's been a long day hasn't it?"

Kero agreed. "Don't even mention it, when I finally think it's all over The Change shows up and makes this mess, and as if things weren't bad enough, crazy Chinese girl comes in and starts to shriek."

"You have to admit she's high spirited." Tomoyo said. "Though she could be a little more polite."

Kero raised a brow. "A little?"

Tomoyo giggled. "I guess you're right."

The girl walked to the window to see what was happening at down there. She could only see Mei Ling leaning against a Limousine, though the car managed to get her attention. "That Limousine... Isn't that..."

Suddenly her cellphone rang. She took it out of the little purse she was carrying. "Hello?" She waited for the response. "Kaa-san, what is it?" She waited again, but this time her eyes widened when she got the answer. "No way!"

A/N: Is it just me or did this chapter get a bit darker than my usual writing at some places? It seems the story is getting heavier. Oh boy. This is getting more exciting every day.

Same old stuff: Review and see you next week. Same bat-time, same bat-channel. (PLEASE give me feedback on this 'bat-time bat-channel' joke. I need to now if it's a universal joke or something that only a Brazilian would understand.)

Bye! (And Yay! Mei Ling's Finally here!)
