The Second Generation
14



Akiko: Akiko
here! And boy have I got news for
you! Makoto:
That's right! Last time, my sister and
her crush Shinji, played a little matchmaking. Akiko: Unknown to
us, their little plan was working, until some Clow Cards decided to spoil the
fun. Makoto:
Loop, Sleep, and Power, all made an entrance of their own at the fair. Akiko: While
capturing Power, I heard someone scream at us to watch out, but I didn't see
anyone. Makoto: And Shinji said he heard someone warn him about the Loop
Card before. Akiko: So anyway, after sealing the cards, Makoto and I…. Makoto: We…had to
go on stage and…. Akiko: Kiss. Makoto: Little did I know, but Meeko also
was living out her dream, because Shinji kissed her too. Akiko: Demo, her
father didn't like that at all and drove him away. Makoto: That won't
stop him. Akiko: You think?



Meeko
sat in the living room, reading a book, not caring about a thing in the
world. She still hadn't gotten over the
shock of what Shinji had done. He had
kissed her. Actually kissed her. She sighed at the memory. Then remembered how her father had driven
Shinji away. What was he scared
about? Shinji wouldn't do anything to
hurt her. All day Meeko had trouble
concentrating at school. With Shinji
right behind her, she thought about him all day, not really caring what was
going on.

Now she
only wished she could tell him what she felt.


Just then,
she heard a knock at the door.
"Coming!" She got up and went to
the door. She opened and saw… "Shinji!"

Shinji
stood there, obviously nervous about something. "Hi…M…Meeko." He greeted.

Meeko
frowned. "Daijubou?" (I know that's not
spelled right, don't sue me)

Shinji
looked down at the ground. "About
yesterday…"

Meeko
blushed and smiled. "I really enjoyed…"

"Would you
like to go on a date with me?"

Meeko
gasped. Shinji looked up and met her
amber eyes with his gray ones, to show his sincerity. Meeko's heart was beating faster and faster. She was unable to speak at first…making
Shinji more nervous. She with held a
giggle at his nervousness and nodded.
"I'd love to."

Shinji
smiled and held in his excitement.
"Great! Ano…tomorrow…say five
o'clock?"

Meeko
nodded. "Tomorrow."

"Meeko! Who's at the door?" Her father's voice came from the kitchen.

Meeko
panicked. "No one!" Then she turned to Shinji and winked, before
closing the door.

Shinji
jumped for joy and ran all the way back home, screaming…"She said yes! She said yes! She said yes!" Over and
over again.

Meeko ran
up to her room, and plopped on her bed, sighing in happy bliss. Makoto above her gazed down at her. "What's up with you?"

Meeko
sighed again and smiled. "Shinji, he
asked me out on a date!"

Makoto
gasped and nearly fell out of his bunk bed.
"He what?"

Meeko frowned. "I really don't know why you two are so
uptight about. He's a real gentleman
you know."

"Yeah
right, I leave him one minute with you and you get stuck in that shield
thingy! I don't trust him that
far." Makoto argued.

Meeko
rolled her eyes. "You couldn't have
done any better if you were there. Even
dad's sword couldn't break it." Makoto
knew she was right. "And wasn't it Shinji
who ultimately saved me in the end?"

Makoto
sighed in defeat. "Okay. Okay.
Just be careful?"

Meeko
nodded and laid down, staring into space.
Tomorrow was going to be perfect.



Makoto and
Shinji had to stay after school for soccer practice, which left Akiko and Meeko
to walk home alone. "He actually asked
you out?" Akiko asked all excited.

Meeko
blushed. "You should've seen it! He was so nervous!" She giggled along with Akiko.

"Oh please
let me make you an outfit! I won't go
overboard I swear!"

Meeko
raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you're
Aunt Tomoyo's kid?"

Akiko put
her hands on her hips. "I'm just more
conservative!"

Meeko
giggled. All right, all right. My place, 4 o'clock."

Akiko
nodded and went off her own way.

Meeko
smiled and thought of her and Shinji holding hands.

Help me.

Meeko
stopped. "Who are you?" She recognized the voice from the one who
saved them at the fair the other day.

Please
help me
.

Meeko
frowned. "Show me who you are."

"Meeko-chan! I forgot!" Akiko came running back, ruining
the feeling Meeko had. Akiko came
running up and saw Meeko's confused look.
"Are you okay?"

Meeko shook
her head. "Yeah, I'm fine. What's up?"

Akiko
blushed. "Could you…maybe get…Makoto
to…"

Meeko
laughed. "Ask you out on a date?" Akiko
blushed more and stared at the ground.
"Sure…no problem."

Akiko
looked up all happy. "Arigatou!" Then she ran away, back to her house.



The
doorbell rang and Meeko answered it, not surprised to see Akiko. "You're twenty minutes late!"

"Oh,
gomennasai! I had to put the finishing
touches on your outfit!" She pulled out
her latest design. Meeko gasped. It was a red dress, short sleeved, ending
about her upper thigh. It had shorts
that fit underneath it. "What do you
think?"

Meeko
gentle touched it. "It's beautiful."

Akiko
giggled. "Let's get you
dressed!!!" She grabbed Meeko's arm and
dragged her back up stairs.



At five
o'clock sharp, Shinji appeared at the door.
He knocked and was shocked to see a gorgeous Meeko answer the door. His mouth dropped to the floor, unable to
speak. Meeko giggled, suddenly
shy. "Ready?"

Shinji
could only nod, and hold out his arm.
Meeko gentle took it and they went to the park.

Akiko
sighed and watched them leave from the upstairs window. "They are so kawaii."

Makoto, who
was leaning up against the wall, arms crossed, snorted. "If he tries anything, he's going to have to
answer to me."

Akiko
giggled and rolled her eyes. "Come on
now. You know Shinji isn't like
that." She grabbed his arm. "Now come on. I have to get you measured."
In case you ever ask me out on a date, at least you'll have something
nice to wear
. Akiko thought,
remembering all the grubby soccer clothes Makoto usually wore. She pulled him into the bathroom, and
started measuring him. Good luck
Meeko.
She thought.



Meeko and
Shinji, once at the park, got two hotdogs, at a small cart that was at the
park, and sat down on one of the benches to eat. (What did you expect?
They're only ten!)

Meeko took
a bite and smiled at Shinji. He was so
nervous watching her; he bit his finger instead of the hotdog. "Oww!"
He said, dropping the hotdog on the ground.

Meeko
gasped. "Are you okay?" (I would say
the other word, but of course, I forgot the spelling)

Shinji
shook his finger. "Yeah. It doesn't matter."

"Should we
go and get you another one?" She asked.

Shinji
shook his head. "No, it's okay. The best part of this is that you're here
besides me." He blushed.

Meeko
blushed madly at what he said. She took
one hand, and gentle place it on his, making him blush more.

Suddenly,
they felt a Clow Card, but it was a gentle one. All around them, little green lights floated around the two,
illuminating the night. Meeko gasped at
its beauty.

Shinji
smiled. "The Glow."

Meeko
looked around. "No one's here
anymore. Do we have to seal it?"

Shinji
smiled and wrapped an arm around Meeko to make sure she didn't get cold. "We'll let it stay here, as long as it
behaves." He replied, more to the card
than Meeko.

Glow seemed
happy and glowed brighter for the two couples.
Meeko smiled and felt enticed by the mood. Shinji felt it too and leaned in. Their lips met, and they shared
a second kiss, under the moon, and The Glow.

They broke
the kiss, and Meeko sighed. "We
probably should catch it now."

Shinji
nodded and helped Meeko up. Meeko took
out her key. "Key of Clow, bestowed by
right. Surrender the wand. Surrender the light! Release!"
Her key turn into a staff, and she held it over her head. "Glow.
Return to the shape you were meant to be!" Glow turned into a card, and settled in Meeko's hand.

Shinji came
up and wrapped his arms around Meeko from behind, making her giggle, but lean
back into him all the same. "That was
wonderful." Shinji said, giving her a
peck on the cheek.

Meeko
smiled. "It was a simple card."

Just then,
Meeko felt danger coming, and felt someone, not Shinji; push her and Shinji out
of the way. She fell to the ground,
just in time to see an arrow, set itself into the ground where they were just a
second ago.

Shinji
helped her up and called out his staff.
He looked around and spotted the person who had saved them. "Hitori!"

It was the
green-eyed girl from class. Without
turned to them she shouted. "We have to
distract it!"

Meeko
frowned. "Distract what?" Then she saw it, a little girl with pink
hair, wearing a purple outfit. "What is that?"

Shinji
growled and stepped in front of Meeko.
"That's Arrow!"

Arrow
smirked and let loose another arrow.
One that split into several arrows, all aimed at Meeko, Shinji, and now
Hitori too.

Meeko threw
her hands forward and a shield formed.
The arrows came at her, and were deflected. Arrow was not happy, and flew in straight at them. Meeko gasped. "Fly!" Wings grew out of
her back and she flew to the side.

Shinji had
his wings come out and flew to the other side.
Hitori, jumped straight up.

Meeko
gasped at what she saw. The same girl,
who had sat so quietly in their class, was jumping and dodging Clow Cards!

Arrow took
aim at Shinji as he flew away. Meeko
saw it. "Shinji!"

Shinji
turned just in time to see an arrow coming at him. He tried to move out of the way, but one struck his wing…sending
him to the ground.

Meeko flew
down. "Shinji!" She landed besides him and held his head in
her lap. "Are you okay?" She felt like crying.

He gave a
weak nod. "I'll be okay."

Hitori ran
over to them. "We have to distract it!"

Meeko
frowned. "With what!" She gasped as she saw Arrow take aim
again. She picked up Shinji and flew
into the air. Hitori moved to the side
and growled.

"Arrow
doesn't act nicely to people who make her miss." Hitori explained. "She has a record of always hitting her
mark. Usually her victims."

Meeko
growled. How dare she attack Shinji!

Arrow
took aim again, this time at Meeko.
Meeko glared at her and stood up, leaving a shield around Shinji. She held her staff in both hands. "Come and get me!" She flew into the air.
Arrow growled and flew after her.
(Some say Arrow can't fly, I say she can, okay?)

Meeko
dodged right and left as Arrow attacked her relentlessly. Meeko circled around again, looking for the
rogue Clow Card. She turned around,
stretching out her senses to the woods around her.

"Look
out!" Something hit her again, knocking
her to the side.

Meeko got
up and saw Hitori, lying on the ground, an arrow in her shoulder. "Hitori!"

Hitori looked
up… "Distract it…"

Meeko
growled and tried to think. How can
I distract Arrow long enough to seal it?

Then it hit her. She pulled out
a card. "Glow!"

Glow
released and flew around Arrow at great speeds. Arrow closed her eyes, making her aim off from Meeko. Glow was moving around her too fast, making
her dizzy. Meeko saw her chance. She flew into the air and landed behind Arrow.

"Arrow! Return to the shape you were meant to
be!" Arrow was pulled unceremoniously
into the card, and flew to Meeko's awaiting hand.

She looked
over and saw Shinji passed out, and Hitori close to passing out as well. She had to get them somewhere safe.

Brother…the
park…I need your help.


Nani? What happened? Her brother's concerned voice returned.

Just
come to the park…bring mom and dad.


I'm on
my way.




A
few minutes later, Makoto, Akiko, Syaoran, and Sakura arrived at the
scene. Syaoran looked over the two
victims. "Let's get them to the house."

Everyone
nodded in agreement, and headed off.
