Chapter 4

Home alone? YES!

Sakura and Li awoke to a scream.

"Get away from me! Don't touch me!" Tomoyo called out down the hall at about six in the morning. Sakura sprang out of bed, noticing that they were very close in proximity when they were sleeping. Thankfully, for both of them, they weren't touching.

"Waz hapnin'?" Syaoran muttered intelligently, sitting up. Sakura, who was slightly more awake, walked over to the door, and opened it.

"Tomoyo!" She yelled down the hall, "I'm going to fucken kill you!" Syaoran got up, but sank back down again.

"Never mind the people who were still sleeping..." He muttered, almost incoherently, but Sakura heard it.

"Screw them." She said bluntly, "If they didn't wake up when Tomoyo screamed, then they're deaf."

"True enough." Syaoran said, getting up again. Sakura rolled her eyes, and walked down the hall to the room that Tomoyo and Takashi shared. Pressing her ear to the door, she could hear objects being thrown around the room. She pushed the door open, and was almost hit in the face by some random flying object or another.

"Tomoyo!" She yelled at the one that was throwing the objects. Tomoyo just stopped, and blinked a few times.

"He touched me!" She shreiked, pointing at Takashi. The poor guy was still shielding himself in preparation for another onslaught.

"She set her alarm, and it went off." He explained to Sakura, "I was just waking her up. She slept through it."

"Oh." Tomoyo was beet red. By then, everyone in the house, including Meiling's parents, were at the door. At this, everyone burst out laughing.

"Oh, my God," Sakura chuckled, "Tomoyo, you idiot!"

"Hey!"

LATER, AT BREAKFAST

Eleven people sat or stood around the dining room, eating toast or cereal. Those who were eating cereal were sitting. Those who were eating toast were standing. All was quiet, except for the clinking of spoons and bowls. It was a shock, then, to hear the telephone ring.

"Hello?" Meiling's mother answered the phone, "Oh, hi Yelan. What's the matter? Oh, yes, he is. Hold on." She looked around the room, "Syaoran! Your mother is on the phone!"

"Hello Mother." Syaoran said into the phone, then listened to her reply, "Yes. As much as can be expected." Another pause, "What? Yes, Mother, I'm sorry. But why 'till the end of the holidays?" He paused again, "Oh, I see. Yes, hold on." He handed the phone over to his aunt, "She wants to talk to you again."

"What is it?" She asked into the phone, "Oh... OK, well, we'll be over this afternoon." She paused, and furrowed their brow, "They're big kids, Yelan. They can take care of themselves... Yes, I'm sure he can... They'll be fine. I promise you... OK... Yes, we'll pack and head right over. Goodbye." She hung up, and looked over at her husband.

"They've gotten sicker, and need help. We'll have to go over and stay there for a while. She told me that the doctor said they would be a bit better by the end of the holidays, if they had help."

"Right, but what about the kids?" He gestured around the room at all of them, who were all wide eyed. Having the house to themselves? Yes!

"They can take care of themselves." She said firmly, "Now start packing, no buts!" And she herded her husband up the stairs. All of the teenagers started talking as soon as they left earshot. All of them, that is, except Syaoran.

LATER

Meiling had bid her parents good bye, with the promise that none of them would get into too much trouble.

"Stay out of our bedroom!" Her mother called out the car window, "It's locked for a reason!"

They all stood on the front veranda, waving them goodbye. When their car was out of sight, they all cheered.

"Let's go inside." Meiling said, with a devillish smile on her face. "We should clean up after breakfast..." Everyone on the veranda was all thinking the same thing. It was Rika, though, who voiced their thoughts.

"Meiling, where are your stereo and CDs?" Meiling smiled, showing all of her pearly whites, and pointed into the loungeroom. Meiling looked around for someone as tehy all rushed inside, but could not find him.

"Where is Syaoran?" She muttered under her breath. No one else heard her.
