"M...Meiling-chan!"  Sakura jumped.  "H...how did you get in here?"

"K...Kinomoto-san...why are you here...?"  Meiling shook her head, clearing her thoughts.  "W...who let you in...?"

"Well, Li-kun let me in...and I came...because--"

"Who cares?"  Syaoran stopped her from fully answering her question.  "That's none of your business."  he narrowed his eyes at Meiling.

"Yes it is!!"  Meiling exclaimed.  "This isn't your house."  she said coldly to the other girl, who backed away.  "Get out of my house."

"This isn't your house either!"  Syaoran complained.

"Yes it is."  she pulled out the house key.  "Mother told me that I'm supposed to live with you for the two weeks we're staying.  So we can get used to living with each other."

::This is why I had that dream a while back...::  Sakura realized in horror.

"So, this is my house, too."

"U...um...I have to visit Touya-onii-chan at th...the hospital, so...I'll see you two at school, okay?"

"WAIT!  You have to explain why you're here in the first place!"

"Li-kun can explain!"  Sakura said, giving the boy a I'm-sorry-but-I-don't-want-to-get-in-trouble look.  "The hospital is going to close soon, so I have to hurry!"  she rushed off.

Meiling fumed.  "She hasn't changed much, has she."

"...no."  Syaoran said quietly, then turned towards Meiling.  "Tell 'Mother' that I'm not returning to Hong Kong."

"What are you talking about?!"

"I'm staying here, okay?!"

"That's not okay!!"  she glared angrily.  "You're still my fiancee, whatever happens!"

Silence.

"...what did happen...?"

"..nothing."  Syaoran crossed his arms.  "Get out of my house.  Now."

"But I have nowhere to go."

"Go back to Hong Kong. Where you belong."

"But my plane isn't coming for two weeks."

"Tell them to switch tickets for you."

"NO!"

"Why not?"  his eyes narrowed.

"Because I'm not going to Hong Kong unless you come with me!!!"  tears appeared in the corners of the girls eyes.  "I can't got back!  Mother will kill me!"

"That's not my problem."  he stated coldly.

"...fine..."  ruby eyes blinked away tears.  "FINE!"  she stormed out, flinging the keys down on the table.
