FF VII: Interrupted by Fireworks

Chapter 3

    "I suppose you haven't even got dinner started, so I'll cook for you,"
Xiao Mei smiled.
    "Thanks," Syaoran replied.
    "So"
    "What?"
    "Are you flunking school?"
    "Im not that stupid"
    "How's the Card Mistress?"
    "She's fine"
    "Who's the girl with dark long hair?"
    "That's Tomoyo, Sakura's best friend"
    "Does she know?"
    "About what?"
    "About the Clow Cards and all"
    "Yes"
    "Are you behaving well?"
    "Yes"
    "Have you been training?"
    "Yes" Syaoran was getting annoyed about these questions.  He understood
the fact that she wanted to get to know about his life in Japan, and him.
After all, she never saw him in her whole life.  "When I was at school, I
sensed your aura" Syaoran said.
    "How flattering"
    "It was a powerful auro though"
    "Why thank you for the compliment"
    "Will you stop being sarcastic?"
    "Fine"
    "Anyway, it's powerful enough to match Sakura's level"
    "You mean the Clow Mistress?"
    "Yes"
    "Maybe, just maybe to surpass hers"
    "Ridiculous, anyway, dinner's ready.  By the way, is there by any chance
you know a boy that's in high school.  He has silver hair."
    "That's Yukito, but we all call him Yuki"
    "He keeps saying we're childhood friends.  I don't even know who the heck
he is"
    "I'll talk to him"
    "No offense, but your aura is not that strong, even if you did train over
the years"
    "Will you shut up?"
    "Touchy"  Xiao Mei went to bed.  She was glad to have a little brother.
She was also highly interested in meeting the Clow Mistress.

    It was morning the next day.  Before school started, Sakura and Tomoyo
went to talk to Syaoran.  "Any progress about that mysterious girl?" Sakura
and Tomoyo asked.
    "You have no idea who she is" Syaoran said.
    "Who?" Tomoyo asked.
    "She's my older long lost sis"
    "Wow" they both said.
    "Wow isn't the word.  She's staying at my place."
    "What about that Clow Card?" Sakura asked.
    "It was a fake.  Every time I turned it around it had messages on it.
They were sarcastic remarks my sis gave me" Syaoran explained.
    "I would like to meet her" Sakura said
    "And you will this afternoon.  She insisted on coming to your house to do
her homework, and get to know you"
    "Can I come too?" Tomoyo asked.
    "Of course you can" Sakura said.  Meanwhile, at Northwest High School,
Xiao Mei was sitting there looking out the window, letting her mind wander.
Apparently, she didn't notice the fact that all the boys were making goo goo
eyes on her (except for Yuki and Touya).  When break came, Xiao Mei just sat
there, waiting for her next session in class.  She knew that the boy with
silver hair would come again and try to get her to remember him.   She was
deep in thought.  Concentrating how to deal with him.  "Xiao Mei?" a voice
asked.
    "Yahhhhhh!" Xiao Mei yelled.
    "It's me, the guy that was trying to make you remember me," Yuki said.
    "You didn't do a good job of it 'cause I don't remember who the heck you
are when I was a kid.  Back then I had no friends, no friends at all.  But
then, you did do a good job of scaring the heck out of me," she said.
    "This is serious," another boy said.
    "You must be his trusty sidekick"
    "He's not, he's my best friend, Touya"
    "Nice to meet you"
    "Xiao Mei, please try to remember who I am, remember, I use to call you
Mei Mei?" That did it.  There was a pierce of pain that shot through her
head.  Mei (I'm sick of putting the Xiao, so I'm doing just Mei) clutched her
head.  Moaning in agony.  "It's working Touya," Yuki said.
    "How can it be working when she's in pain?"
    "She must've had some kind of amnesia that she only forgot about me"
    "I can't remember, no, no," Mei muttered.  She heard a young boy's voice
calling, "Mei Mei!  Mei Mei!"
    "Remember Mei, remember, you used to call me Toto"  Another shot of pain
gone through.  Mei couldn't take it.  She got out of her desk and ran to the
nurse's office.
    "Well that didn't work out well" Yuki sighed.
    "What's with the name Toto?  Heh heh heh"
    "Oh shut up Touya"
    "Gomen, why don't you come over to my place to do homework, and see how
we can get her memories back.  Heck, have dinner with me.  It might make you
feel better"
    "Thanks"
