Author's Note: HI!!! I'm so back^^ Thank you for all your support... (looks at reviews) WOW!! 13 reviews!! Thanks So Much!!! YAY!! Oh… and have you realised that Sleeping Beauty was about 116 (or was it 118?) years old when she got married? What was that Prince thinking?
A lot of botox and plastic surgery…must have cost millions.
 
M y W h a t . . . ?
 
Syaoran sat at the table, staring at his food uneasily. Somehow he sensed something wasn't right. He looked at everyone, glaring like he usually did every morning.
 
“You shouldn't frown Li...You'll get wrinkles quicker. Unless you use the anti-wrinkle cream I gave you.” A feminine voice interrupted his daily routine.
 
Li rolled his eyes as a hand ruffled his hair.
 
“What anti wrin- I mean...yes mother” Syaoran bowed his head in respect of his mother, although he really didn't know what Yelan was going on about.
 
Yelan smiled.
 
“Listen...I want you and Meilin to meet me in my office as soon assembly is over, got it? I've got something to tell you both.”
 
“But can't you tell us here?”
 
“It's too...well...it needs to be private. Don't forget. I've already told Meilin, Okay?”
 
Syaoran nodded and went back to playing with his rice balls.
 
“Pfffffft...so bored...” Eriol, Syaoran best friend complained. Their short and stout principal's monotonous voice filtered through the hall, ranting on about...something random. Last week, Mr. Hyuuga had spent 39 minute and 59 seconds on the topic of his grandfather. This week, it was on some random spear that his great-great-great something had used. So far it was 43 minutes and 34seconds...he was nearly done.
 
“Damn...” Syaoran thought,” it was nearly done...and he still hadn't beaten the record...2 hours on how men should be as hygienic as women, or something like that. Many of Syaoran's friends spent their time texting their girlfriends on their cell phones under the table. Ohijro, Syaoran's room mate, was writing, well inappropriate messages to his girlfriend. Syaoran mentally shuddered in horror as he read part of the messages.
 
“OHAYO OHAYO OHAYO!!!”
 
The school deputy's cheerful, over enthusiastic voice rang through the hall.
 
Eriol groaned slumped at the table.
 
“That stupid cow's voice really is getting on my nerves...” Takashi complained through gritted teeth.
 
“We have a NEW student nurse!! She comes from Tokyo Ladies College!! Give a warm welcome to TOMOYO DAIDOUJI!!”
 
A pretty young girl about 16 years old entered the room. She smiled and her amethyst eyes glittered. Tomoyo was dressed in a plain white halter top and black glitter jeans.
 
Every head shot up. Tomoyo blushed and lowered her eyes as some guys started to snicker and whisper.
 
“I think I'm going to fake a sickness...just to meet her.” Eriol whispered to Syaoran with a sly grin.
 
“Yes!!! And now, she will be working Mrs Ichinose!!”
 
A short lady with a pugly face grabbed Tomoyo, who looked surprised but amazingly was able to regain her composure quickly and waved happily to the school.
 
“On second thoughts, Mrs. Ichinose...maybe not...” Syaoran grinned and punched Eriol on the back playfully as Eriol's face fell.
 
“ALSO, the cleaner Mr. Yoshikawa has complained that SOMEONE has been wrapping the TOILETS in PLASTIC STUFF!! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE! IF I EVER FIND OUT WHO COMMITTED THIS CRIME...”The principal paused for a dramatic outburst,” THEIR PARENTS WILL BE NOTIFIED IMJMEDIATELY AND WILL BE EXPELLED!!”
 
Several sniggers erupted through the hall.
 
Syaoran tried his best to stifle a laugh as he realised the principal was glaring in a suspicious manner at his table.
 
Mokoto, Syaoran's friend had been drinking water when the Deputy and announced that unrealistic comment and sprayed his drink over anyone who was unfortunate enough to sit near him, which earned him looks of disgust from about everyone.
 
“Dude, say it, don't spray it!” Ohijro remarked.
 
“Gross!! Now I have to redo my nails!!!”
 
“Dude! You wear NAIL POLISH!!”
 
“Yeah, so what?”
 
“AHAHAHA!!”
“MR. KOMICHI!!! I WILL SEE YOU AFTER ASSEMBLY! YOU DO NOT DISPLAY THAT KIND OF BEHAVIOUR DURING WHOLE SCHOOL ASSEMBLIES!!! ASSEMBLY IS NOW ADJOURNED!”
 
Mr. Hyuuga slammed his fist onto the podium angrily, before a nurse escorted him away.
 
There was a second of silence, before a loud sigh erupted through the hall.
 
Syaoran felt a tug at his sleeve, which turned out to be none other than Meilin.
 
“C'mon! Yelan wants to see us. Now!” Meilin hissed into his ear.
 
So, as usual Syaoran let Meilin drag him to his mother's office.
 
Yelan was waiting for them, with a grave expression on her face, before ushering them into the empty seats that were laid out in front of her.
 
“Syaoran, Meilin sit down please. This will take sometime, do not worry, I already have written to both of your schools explaining that you are away on family matter.”
 
Meilin gulped and sat down hesitantly.
 
Yelan cleared her throat before starting.
 
“Now, as you both probably know, you were both betrothed at birth by the Elders, who after many rituals decided you were soul mates, correct?”
 
Both Syaoran and Meilin nodded, Meilin's grip on Syaoran's arm tightened.
 
“Last month, I visited the Elders, to commemorate a treaty of some sort that the Li clan and the Kitsubite clan hold. A very unfortunate event indeed, it seems there was an error.”
 
Meilin let out a small gasp and immediately her hand retreated from Syaoran's arm to her lap.
 
“That was not the only flaw. It is also that your mother, Meilin, is Syaoran's father's sister. This makes you cousins.”
 
There was a shocked silence, an awkward one as Syaoran and Meilin looked at each other, in absolute shock.
 
“Omigosh…that's…incest,” Meilin whispered, her hand covering her mouth in shock,”Syaoran, we've been committing incest…”
 
“Why wasn't this discovered earlier?” Syaoran demanded.
 
“Well, do you remember how Meilin lived in that tribe until her parents died? She was the only one who survived in that fire. That tribe, Syaoran was very secretive. If someone had a child, close family which lived in another country or tribe weren't even notified. Now, you may be wondering how we found out Meilin's parents? A very sacred parchment with the family's family tree was found severely burnt and was only recently digitally re-imaged. I am quite sorry to inform you of this, but it was the best solution before both of you sustain an even more intimate relationship, as I am aware of.”
 
“Why…” Tears started to well up in Meilin's eyes, “What will become of my social status after this? Everybody and I mean everybody knows about my relationship with Syaoran. Why couldn't it be…?” Meilin burst into tears. Yelan stood up and walked towards Meilin before comforting her with by putting an arm around her.
 
Syaoran was shocked. All this time he had been committing incest with a person he loved.
 
Why…why couldn't it be someone other than me? What people think when I become a samurai? What about now.”
 
Syaoran suddenly felt anger welling up inside him. Anger that he was making the woman that he loved sad. Angry with himself for not realising earlier.
 
There were so many clues...and I missed them all...
 
Syaoran got up abruptly and left the room.
 
Away from the woman he loved and cared for so much.
 
Away from that woman who was his cousin.
 
I've been so busy lately, that I haven't really been able to even write. Hehe… I guess the transition from Primary school to High school ain't that easy. Hopefully I get used to it. I'll try and update as soon as I finish a chapter, although I can't really guarantee that it'll be very good.
