Reflect My Heart
~Part 1: More then Meets the Eye~

((~A/N: Look, this is a strange but I think it is a good fanfic. I am a Meilin/Li fan, I know there are a lot of Sakura/Li fans out there. I DO enjoy Sakura and Li fanfics, and I dont' flame fanfics because it has Sakura/Li in theme, so I would seriously appreciat it if I am not flamed for being a Meilin/Li fan. Thank You.~))
A small smile played 'bout her lips, twisted in a scene of mockery.
"Stupid humans." She thought. "Now will be our time of revenge...Clow Reed sealed us up for decades, centuries...."
She felt the presence of the other clow cards around her stir. Yes, the time drew nearer until the book would be opened.
"Clow Reed...and his precious species. Once the book is burned and the 'mistress' dead...THE WORLD WILL BE OURS FOR THE TAKING!"
"HEAR ME, CAPTORS! YOUR TIME OF DEATH IS AT HAND!" She screamed through the thick leather of the Clow, the magical aura that surrounded it. She felt the presence of the mistress slowly descend the stairs into the dank chamber...
Meilin awoke with a start. She sat up and groaned...it was the third time that night she had had that dream, and she was starting to freak out...but she couldn't tell Li. Why?
"Why the heck can't I tell him? I've always told him everything..." She quietly questioned the silver moon, peaking just into her room through the window.
She kicked herself mentally "No, I haven't."
Meilin lied back down, staring at the ceiling. Finally she couldn't take it anymore and went to get a drink of water and some fresh air to calm her nerves. Her hair fell strait down to just below her waist, no longer held up by the ever-famous ribbons she always wore...she convinced herself that she looked like a wreak.
Suddenly the light flickered on.
"Meilin, what are you doing up?" Li's groggy voice gently reprimanded her. "It's..." he narrowed his eyes, trying to get the blur of sleep away from his vision as he looked at the clock "Four in the morning.""I...Couldn't sleep." She hesitantly explained, gulping down some water.
Li took a seat on the chair beside her. He looked behind her, on the side of her opposite to him, even under her chair.
"Li...what are you looking for?"
"No...nothing."
"LI! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!?" She screamed, her voice raising in pitch.
"No problem." His automatic response.
"There is a problem. Tell me." She said.
Li sighed. "Are you carrying any magical talisman or anything like that with you?"
Meilin's eyes widened when she thought of where this was going. She almost choked on her water as she spluttered out "No, why!?"
"I sense...magic. It may be I'm too asleep, but I can sense it."
Meilin stared at the old and worn kitchen table, it's furnish long dulled and parts of it worn away to create an uneven surface. "What makes you think that it's around ME?" She asked.
"Meilin."
"What?"
"Have you been experimenting with-"
"WITCHCRAFT!? LI! NO!" She said, stunned.
Li looked at her skeptically. "It doesn't seem like that. That...signal your sending out is defiantly some kind of Dark Magic."
Merlin stood up defensively. "HEY! Back off!"
Lie looked up at her, shocked. It was the very first time in their lives that she had ever snapped at him.
Meilin's face softened and she looked down at the floor, frowning...the cup slipped from her hands, it's contents spilling on the deep plush carpet, unhidden.
Li took her hands in his. "Meilin. This is dangerous. Look, I know how much you want to be a part of this magic-"
"LI! I don't care!" Meilin broke out in tears. "I don't care Li I don't! I just want you to admire me the same way you admire Sakura! I want you to include me too and stop shutting me out!"
There. She had said it. She had said the words she had been yearning to say since they moved to Japan, a year and 5 months ago.
"Meilin..."
She looked up at him, sniffling "What?"
Li gently wiped away her tears "Go back to sleep. Now that I'm wide awake, I have to find out what is causing me to sense these things. All right?" He let go of her hands and walked over to a cup board, taking out his lasin board.
"Li! Let me go, I can help."
But Li was already gone, the front door closing softly behind him.
He had shut her out once more.
...............................................
Li stood on the rooftop. He was sure he made a ridiculous scene, a boy in a gray tank-top and oversized sweat shorts, with slippers on his feet...holding an board with obvious power in it. The wind teased his wild hair as he focused...trying so hard, picking up something yet nothing. A strange force surrounded his senses, tugging him towards every which way. The lazin board didn't do anything to help.
Someone's steps sounded behind him, clumsy and inexperienced...at least to his minds eye they were.
Li closed his eyes unpatiently "Go away sakura."
"I sense a clow card, Li! Use your lazin board-"
"No clow card here sakura. Now go."
"But I sense-"
"What you sense is a mischannel."
"A...mischannel?"
"Usually caused by the history that happened in a certain spot" Kero spoke up. "There, someone stole something, about 100 years ago." He continued, pointing "They hung him for attempted murder."
"His spirit lingers there!?" Sakura sqeeked.
"No, just the history of what happened." Kero responded.
............................................................................
Meilin had it. She just had it. She was going out to take a walk...to calm her nerves down. She quickly did her hair up and slipped into a light-weighted Chinese dress, perfect for the hot summer night...er..early morning. She slipped into a pair of sandals on her way out.
......................................................................
"Meilin? What's SHE doing out here?" Li asked, more to himself.
"huh?" Sakura ran to stand beside Li. She held up her hand and waved "Hey! MEILIN!"
Meilin looked up and snorted "great." she thought "just like always! he's with her and leaves ME in the dark!"
Sakura stared at Meilin, usually the girl would be over-ecstatic to see Li and shout some cut-down at Sakura. But Meilin just stared a few more seconds, then looked down the road, obviously planning on walking ahead without barely acknowledging their presence. Sakura also noted that Meilin wasn't wearing her usual cardcaptor costume...
Sakura, Kero, Li, and Madison watched as Meilin stared straight in front of her, walking slowly and deliberately away.
"what's up with her?" Kero asked...quietly, though.
"AAAAAAAH!" Meilin let out a shriek that could pierce the veil of death itself.
Li gasped as Meilin fell to her knees, trying to shield herself from some invisible force. He was too high to jump, he had to take the stairs!
Meilin shrunk to her knees, her body flinching in pain as something struck her over and over again. Her dress tore and blood seeped from small cuts and large gashes that formed on her back and arms.
Li panted heavily. He had to get to her, and fast.
"FLY CARD! RELEASE!" Sakura yelled, hopping on her staff and flying down to aid Meilin with whatever it was.
Sakura's wand transformed back to normal as she landed, Meilin still shrieking in pain. Sakura grabbed the shorter girl's shoulders, trying to pull her away from whatever it was.
Then Meilin stoped screaming. She held on to Sakura like her life depended on it, crying.
"Meilin! What's wrong?"
"Help me avalon..help...he wants to kill me...help me!" Meilin whimpered.
"who? Who wants to kill me?"
Meilin looked up at Sakura, her brown eyes reflecting terror and shock beyond anything that sakura had seen. Meilin looked behind her and pointed "there, can't you see him!?"
Meilin did a double take as Li arrived on the scene. She slowly and shakily inched closer to where she was pointing, oblivious to the wounds that scarred her arms and back.
"But...he was right here...you saw him right Li?"
Li looked at Meilin worriedly "I didn't see anything, Meilin."
Meilin stomped her foot, a move she soon afterward regretted "I SAW HIM!" She ripped off whatever was left of her sleeve. "Look! THAT didn't just happen on accident!"
Her arm was raw with cuts and gashes and bruises.
"We have to treat those, and fast." Madison said, worriedly.
Meilin took a good look at her wounds and burst into frightened tears again "He was trying to kill me...the whip, it hurt so much..." She murmured over again.
Li gently put his arm around her shoulders. She flinched in pain. Li then gently laid a hand on a part of her lower back that miraculously didn't get whiped, gently leading her to the side of the road where he could get a better look at her wounds.
..................................................................
Li soon saw to it that Meilin was resting in her bed after her wounds were treated and her clothes changed.
Sakura stood up halfway as Li entered the living room, parts of his hands stained with Meilin's blood. He went to the small ajoining kitchen that melded into the living room and washes his hands.
"Is she gonna be OK?"
Li nodded. "She's been through worse, when she and I used to practice fighting at home." He muttered.
"What was that about?" Madison asked fearfully.
Kero frowned "I have to make this observation."
"what is it kero?" Li asked.
"When she reached the area of the mischannel, that's when all that stuff started happening."
"What are you saying kero?" Sakura asked.
"I don't know. All I'm saying is, that's what I saw."
"Your right." Li grudgingly acknowledged.
"sooo..." Sakura said.
"So what?"
"I don't know."
Li grimaced as he looked up at the clock "it's almost six thirty. Time to get to school."
Sakura frowned. She barely got any sleep...this was becoming more and more the norm then she would have liked it to be.
"All part of the work of a cardcaptor." Sakura said, sighing.
Li looked at her and snorted...which clearly stated that he didn't think she deserved the title as cardcaptor. Not yet, anyway.
"Fortunatly for you, Sakura, I brought our school uniforms!" Madison said, digging into her bag and pulling out a pair of almost identical clothing. "Mind if we chang here li?" She asked.
Li shook his head, far more concerned with other things.
"Ow." A small voice came muffled from Meilin room.
Everyone rushed up to find Meilin beating the hell out of a red punching bag, muttering 'ow' or a curseword with each punch, but never stopping. Her wounds surprisingly looked much better. Li was good at more things then she thought, sakura observed.
"Meilin! You have to rest!" Li said, walking up to her and gently grasping her arm.
Meilin whirled around to stare at li.
It froze his blood.
The look in here eyes was so...dark, it burned with anger and resentment and hatered and fear.
"Back. Off. Showron." She said in a low and menacing voice.
"Meilin?" Li asked, taking a step back.
Meilin turned back to the punching bag, hitting it with even and almost mechanical moves.
"I. don't. need. you. any. more." She said, emphasizing each word with a punch.
"Meilin, look-"
"You heard me." She hissed, pulling a whirling kick on the punching back, giving it a huge dent.
"Meilin, stop."
Meilin didn't stop.
"Meilin, please!"
A smile played about meilin's lips. She snickered.
"Force, know my plight." She said, almost mockingly, challengingly "release the light, lighting!" she finished with a high and almost playful sounding note.
A bolt of lighting split the punching bag in two...cotton fibers spilled out everywhere.
She looked up at the group, smiling innocently. She walked over to her closet and pulled out her school uniform "C'mon guys! We don't want to be late for school, now do we?" With that she skipped into the bathroom, shutting the door.
...............................................................................
Mrs. Mackenzie seemed really uneasy around Meilin.
So did the birds.
and dogs.
and every animal.
and of course, Li, Sakura, and Madison.
Li actually joined Sakura and Madison for lunch, the three of them in a small and private huddle, unnoticed in the melee of kids.
Meilin skipped up to them and sat beside Li "Mom prepaired way too much for me again!" She said.
"meilin...." Sakura said, frieghtend, slowly leaning back, preparing to run.
"What, Avalon!?" Meilin asked, snappy and annoyed...the NORMAL Meilin.
"What do you mean what!?"
"What the hell do you want??"
"We all want to know." Li said calmly "Is how did you learn to use that incantation to call forth lightning?"
"What? The 'force, know my plight release the light' thing? I don't' know how!" Meilin said, taking a drink from her water bottle "What ARE you talking about???"
"What do you mean!? Last night? That...invisible attacker of yours!?" Li said.
Meilin looked at him quizzcaly "I was asleep all night long."
"no you weren't!"
"Was too!"
Li pulled up her shirt sleve "Explain this!" He said, pointing at her wound.
Meilin looked at her arm "what?"
Li took a double glance at her.
There WAS no wound!
............................
"Meilin, I..."
"You what!?"
"I...I'm sorry, I must have been mistaken." Sakura apologized.
The bell rang and everyone returned to class.
................................................................
"What's up, Sakura?" Tory asked, sarcastic as always. Sakura had come home late from school, and now that the night had set in, she was acting especially worried.
"What do you mean?"
"You just seem really edgy."
"I do..? Oh, it's nothing."
"If you say so squirt."
..........................................................
Light. Light and fresh air...light and fresh air! Freedom.
She flew! FLEW!
And rejoined her other half. She was complete.
Darkness and Light
Mistress of the Yin and Yang...
Descendent of the Showron,
Enemy to the Showron.
Both.
And...she was never to be captured again!
Her eyes glowed...blood red. She held the sword in her hand.
"Li." She hissed. "Oh, Li. My PRECIOUS Li...Li and Sakura sittin' in a tree, K I S S I N G. Little Wolf has betrayed me, and little 'mistress of the clow' won't capture this part of me oh no." Meilin walked to the mirror.
"She looks so much like me!" She sneered at her reflection. "Poor little Meiling Rae, Li's Fiancee. she doesn't know, as far as she's concerned she's nice and asleep. But me...ohho! Watch out, little Wolfie...watch out, Cherry Blossom....it's almost fall and the cherry blossoms fall at falltime. NOW IS HER TIME!"
She dissapeared in a whirl of wind and smoke...slowly riding the currents of wind and sound and magic to Sakura's house...Li's sword held close to her chest, ready to deliver a final blow.
Slowly, silently, deliberately. Soft footsteps...soft and sweet with the thirst for blood. Kero...little sweet kero, lay on sakura's pillow...unknowing and unaware.
She saw the moonlight glint off the blade of the sword.
Meilin pulled it up high, the glow in her eyes growing brighter...red, evil, angry.
She aimed it for her rival's neck...soft auburn hair resting feather-light on the soft, peach-colored skin...
One emerald eye opened.
Two.
She sat up, terrified and speechless.
Meilin held Li's sword over her, ready and willing for the kill.
