A/N: I really wanted to do a story like this for a while but I never found
the perfect anime character to do one!!! Until Melin became my third
favorite Card Captor Sakura character!!! Well anyway this is a one shot
story told in Melin's pov.
Disclaimer: Sadly I do not own Card Captor Sakura. It belongs to the four ladies at clamp! ______________________________________________________
Every family has someone who is the oddball. Who's the oddball in mine? No question..me.
Why am I the oddball?
That's easy because I don't have what everyone else in my family has, magic.
Its been that way ever since I was little. I always thought that there was something different about me than everyone else in my family. How I couldn't activate incantations like everyone else could, how I couldn't even do the simplest of spells, and how everyone always muttered 'Don't you think that's too hard for Melin?'
At first I thought that I wasn't trying hard enough so I practiced night and day, but still no improvement. I soon got scolded by my mother that I was staying up too late and not getting enough sleep.
I remember once I mastered a material arts move that even Syaoran himself hadn't done yet; there was lots of clapping when I was finished showing off my skills, but the one thing that I will always remember was something that Syaoran said to me that night "Good job Melin-chan".
Melin-chan. He called me Melin-chan!
From that night I saw a totally different side to Syaoran one that I've never seen before. Then that night when he went out in the rain to get my bird that flew away... just for me, well that was all it took for me to fall in love with him!
Our engagement was announced. There was nothing in the world that could get my head out of the clouds, that is till Syaoran and Wei left to gather the Clow Cards. I begged him not to go, but he assured me that he would be back as soon as he could. When I saw those gorgeous amber eyes stare at me and only me I knew I could trust him.
But just because I trusted him doesn't mean I didn't miss him. Everyday I would ask everyone in the family, "Any word from Syaoran?" I remember when I would sit out on the porch while I did my homework and waited for him each day until it was too dark to see a thing or when one of Syaoran's many sisters dragged me back into the house. Then Syaoran was gone for over six months! Everyone was really starting to worry about Syaoran and they decided to send someone to check up on him.
Immediately I volunteered, "I'll go! Send me!"
Syaoran's mother said that she'd let me go as long as I called her as soon as I got there and told her how Syaoran was doing since we kept hearing less and less from him these days.
I felt as if the lock to my cage had been broken as I got on the plane and my heart fluttered when the taxi stopped in front of his apartment. Then I saw him and embraced him tightly like I've wanted to do for so long! That was when I first saw her, Sakura Kinomoto.
Since I moved in Syaoran has just been so mean to me. He yells at me, doesn't appreciate the things I do for him like the time I tried to bake a cake to surprise him, and doesn't look at me like he used to. Then I one day I saw him look at Sakura the way he used to look at me with those eyes fixed on her and only her.
That was when it all made sense: why we barely heard from Syaoran, why he wasn't nearly as pleased as I thought he would be when I came to live with him and Wei, and why he thought I was always in the way. He didn't love me, he loved Sakura.
I still remember when Tomoyo invited me to her mansion; where I cried out all my sorrow that was built up inside me for so long.
Every time I see Sakura I just feel the jealousy in me build up. How can I not be jealous of her! I mean it's not that I hate Sakura! Not at all! It's just that she has everything I worked so hard to get but I will never have; she won the heart of the boy I love with all my being, became the now Sakura Card mistress, has the "perfect" life that practically everyone wishes for, and didn't work hard like I did to gain her magical powers.
Sakura in my opinion didn't earn her magical powers, she just got lucky!
But at the same time I want for Syaoran to be happy even if it means her instead of me. I just wish that Syaoran would look at me with those amber eyes and stare at me just for a moment like he used to.
A/N: I am not going to threaten people to review those days are over! Review if you want to they will be greatly appreciated! Li
