After the Light Fades 2
By Ying Fa
A/n: I DO NOT OWN CARDCAPTORS. Just to make it clear.
Quickly drawing his sword, he took out a card and said, "Force, know my plight. Release the light. Time, freeze the moment.
Just in time. The Clow Mistress was suspended in the middle of air. Everyone around was frozen. This gave Li just enough time to retrieve the love of his life, catch his breath, (Just because he's been away doesn't mean he's been in shape.) carry the nearly dead Sakura into an awaiting car, and kick the driver out.
"Time, unfreeze."
Confusion spread throughout the crowd. A moment ago, a young woman was jumping off the waterfall and now she was gone. No one realized Li was missing until they heard a car horn honk. Li's head poked out of the driver's side window.
"Meilin, I'm not going to marry you. I don't love you." And Li drove away leaving a bitter Meilin angry and ready to kill. Surprisingly, Li couldn't drive very well. He had always had a chauffeur. Sakura was still frozen, because Li unfroze the moment but not Sakura. At the time being Sakura got a lot of bruises. Li couldn't make those turns and Sakura was thrown into the car like a sculpture and every time the car moved she shifted her position.
Meilin started to complain to the elders. The elders who had proposed the marriage when Li and Meilin were children were now wondering if Meilin would make a suitable wife. She had a temper and was very demanding or in other words, she was a bitch. (Don't get me wrong here, I'm not trying to give the poor girl a bad image. I don't hate Meilin. This was just a small detail to make a good S&S fanfic. No flames please)
This was finally her chance. Meilin had waited her whole life to marry Li. Who wouldn't be happy to marry their cousin?(This is from the Japanese version. The WB version made it seem Meilin and Li were just old friends) And that Sakura Avalon ruined it all.
Meanwhile, Li finally reached his destination, Tai Ping San (Chinese name for a mountain found in Hong Kong.) This was where his mother had taken him when he was a child. Li's father had taken her there to propose. Li promised himself that one day he would go back and bring the woman he was going to marry. But the problem was he was having doubts. Did he really love Sakura?
