~DESTINY WAITS FOR NO ONE- PART 2~

Sakura smiles at the reader(s). "Hello everyone! I beat Li, so I'm saying the Author's Notes now. If you want to know, Venus163 is over there, comforting him." She points into the corner.
Li is sulking. "Humph!"
(Venus163 is sweatdropping) Li, you get to say it for the last part...
Sakura blushes. "He's so childish... Well, she doesn't own anything but the plot. This is with me and Li, set six years into the future from the series. She's only watched a couple English episodes, so there are bound to be mistakes in here. It's PG-PG13, I think PG. If they watched the show, then this is probably okay.

Sakura winks. "We left off when the final battle began... On with the story!"

Li watched, eyes wide, as a large, wicked scythe, larger than Sakura's staff, appeared in the Evil Card's hands.
He turned towards Kero, who was groaning and had his face hidden in Madison's hair. "Oh no," he was saying over and over again.
Li turned back to the battle and nearly gasped out loud. The Card had taken the scythe and was taking a swipe at Sakura's head.
Her name tore from his lips unbidden. "Sakura!"
CLANG!
Kero let himself open his eyes, and nearly fainted in relief. Sakura was standing strong, her staff blocking the sharp blade of the scythe.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! The battle continued. Sometimes it seemed as if the Evil Card was winning; other times it was Sakura. Kero had given up trying to hide and was flying restlessly, eyes glued to the battle.
Li crawled over to Madison, who was clutching the hem of her dress. "Hey Madison!"
She turned to him, face tearstained. "What is it, Li?"
"What's going on?"
She sighed. "I guess you deserve to know..."
"You aren't telling him anything without telling me!" Meilin butted, pushing herself between Li and Madison.
Madison stared at her. "You just don't understand, do you?"
Meilin arrogantly answered, "Of course I understand! Sakura is just showing off. She knows she can win this, she's just pretending..."
"Shut up, Meilin!" Madison cried out, eyes filled with tears. "You don't understand, you don't care!"
Li stopped Meilin from shooting back a remark. Putting a hand on Madison's shoulder, he asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Madison took a deep breath. "Before I tell you anything, I have to tell you what Sakura asked of me, now, or I won't be able to. Sakura... she..."
Li waited for her to go on. "Sakura...?"
"She loved... I mean, loves you."
Li felt his mouth drop open. "Wh... What? She loves me?"
Madison nodded. "Very, very much. But she didn't think she had a chance; she was sure you and Meilin was an item..."
"We are," Meilin started to say, but Li cut her off, heart racing.
"Madison," he said earnestly, "Are you serious? She... she really loves me?"
Madison said nothing, just looked at Sakura. Li followed, his gaze traveling from Sakura to the Good Card. He remembered what Kero had said about the Good Card...
[Flashback]
"Madison," Kero was saying, "The Good Card uses the soul of the Cardcaptor to take a shape. If that Card is so beautiful..."
Madison smiled. "That's our Sakura. Her soul isn't tainted by any corruption, even after all she's been through..."
[End Flashback]
He stared at the angel, who was looking at Sakura below it. Abruptly, it turned around and gazed straight at him. The angel didn't have a mouth or nose, just two, large eyes. It turned away a split-second later, but it was enough for Li to have seen and felt the love in them.
"She loves me..." He said more to himself than anyone.
"What right has she..." started Meilin.
"What's the rest of the story?" Li asked Madison, ignoring Meilin. He *had* to know.
Madison lifelessly stared at the ground. "Sakura's going to die."
It took a few moments for that to sink in, but when it did, Li immediately jumped up. "WHAT?" This was just perfect timing, since it was *after* he had found out that she loved him...
Madison turned her gaze onto him. "According to Kero," she said softly, "The final battle of the Clow Cards would be between the Evil Card, the Good Card, and the Cardcaptor. If the Cardcaptor was willing to do anything to destroy the Evil Card, with the Good Card, he or she would be able to obliterate it... in exchange for his or her life..."
Li felt fear clutch his heart, for the first time in his life. "S-Sakura?"
"There's a small chance she might make it," Madison added, "but you must remember: the ultimate attack will have a large amount of power an arm's length away from her... there's no way she can survive it..."
Li's attention went back to the battle. Sakura was tiring, he could see it. The Evil Card seemed to be nonchalantly fighting her.
Then, everything seemed to stop.
Sakura stood, breathing heavily, glaring at the Evil Card in front of her. The Evil Card stood, frozen, glowing red eyes watching Sakura.
Li knew it was the calm before the storm.
Sakura, his beautiful Sakura, held up her Staff. "Cardcaptor and Good Card... Unite!"
The spirit above her suddenly plunged towards her. Light flashed. Li jumped, worry crashing down on him.
"What's happening?" he demanded, catching Kero in his hand.
Kero's eyes were dull. "The Ultimate Attack... the merging of the two most powerful forces ever, innocence and purity, to become the most powerful force of all time..."
Li looked up to see light surround Sakura. They closed in on her as strands, as if they were petals hiding the center of a flower. Then, the petals of light moved apart, and Sakura stood up...
Or Sakura and the Good Card merged.
Beautiful, she was. It seemed to be an older Sakura, clothed in a flowing white gown with sewn-on Sakura blossoms. Her hair was longer, softer-looking, framing her face. Her large, emerald-green eyes looked sad, yet determined. The Staff, which had grown a foot or so more, lay lightly in her hands.
Li turned to Kero for an answer, who belatedly finished his sentence: "...Love."
The Evil Card held out his staff, which began glowing with black energy.
The Power of Love, in Sakura's body, held out the Celestial Staff, vivid colors swirling together, yet not mixing, in the power that began to make the whole Staff glow.
The Evil Card lunged at Love.
Love lunged at the Evil Card.
The two weapons clashed, light illuminated the whole area, and then everything was dark.

Sakura smiles. "So, did you like? Reviews to crescent87@hotmail.com !"
(Madison enters)
Sakura waves. "Hello Madison!"
Madison smiles. "Wow, Venus163 let you say the Notes!"
"So, what's so important?" Sakura asks.
"Guess what? I..." Madison whispers the rest into Sakura's ear.
Sakura's eyes widen. "No, seriously? You taped it? Wow! I have *got* to see this!"
"I *so* want to see her face when she finds out!" Madison squeals.
(They walk out)
