Li's Love: Part 2- Welcome to China
By: Sakura Rainbow
Hi! Welcome to Part 2 of Li's Love! A [mildly] mushy fic! At least it will be in the end!
Kero: Don't ruin the ending!
Sakura: What's going to happen to Li and me?
Rainbow: Well, I've got to lull you two into a false sense of security, and then I plan to do nothing about it! It's all part of my ingenious plan!
Sakura: *starts to strangle Rainbow* DON'T YOU DARE!!
Rainbow: Just kidding! *Gasp*
Italics mean thoughts, these [] mean author's notes, and, yeah!
Allright. I've come to the horrible truth. I don't own any of these characters. *Succumbs to the floor, crying her eyes out* But I finally have a plot all my own! Yeah, I don't own the song, So Happy Together, or know any of Li's sisters' names or ages.
ENJOY!!!! J
************** so it begins *********************************************
Swish. Li's pendant swung back and forth, as steady as the old grandfather clock.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Flashback ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Li stood at the old grandfather clock. Constantly moving, like the beat of my heart…
" Do you know why this clock is special, my son?"
Li turned quickly as his mother approached him. He looked at the grandfather clock, seeing two images, his and his mother's.
" No, mother, I don't."
" Well, Clow Reed created this clock and set upon it the Love card."
Li's eyes widened at the mention of the Clow cards.
" Really? Why'd he do that?"
" Clow did that because he wanted this mirror to help up towards our destiny…. Our soulmate. That's how I found you father."
" How does it work?" a very perplexed Li inquired.
" Okay. Two people stand next to each other by the grandfather clock. When they look into the mirror, they obviously see their reflection! But, if they see half of themselves connected to the other half, then they're destined for each other; soulmates."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ End of flashback ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hmmmm. I'll have to get Sakura to the grandfather clock. Then we'll see if she loves me.. I hope that we will be destined, although I do want her to be happy, regardless if I'm her soulmate. Li frowned slightly at the thought of another male being Sakura's destiny.
Huh? What's that song the plane is playing over the intercom?
My and you, and you and me, so happy that we touch the sky, it's meant to be. The only one for me is you and you for me. So happy together!
Wow! What a kawaii song! Sakura thought. She suddenly gasped.
Could this be a sign that Li and I are destined for each other?!?
Swish, swish, swish went Sakura's key.
Swish, swish, swish went Li's pendant, in perfect synchronization with Sakura's key.
Li looked deeply into his pendant.
Sakura focused on her key.
Huh? Li's eyes widened as the pendant started to glow.
Why is it glowing? What? There's a shape! Hmmmm. Gold, auburn hair, magnificent emerald eyes… Sakura!
Hoe? Sakura's key pointed to the seat above her's, Li's.
Startled by the images [perhaps kawaii signs from their magic?], Sakura and Li dropped their magical tools.
" Yaaaaahhhh!" Li cried as his pendant fell backwards.
" Aaaaaack!" Sakura screeched [?] as her key flew above the seat.
Hoe? Where did that slippery key of Clow go off to? Sakura thought, looking around.
Uh-oh. That pendant is kind of important! Li thought as he frantically dropped down to the floor, looking for his pendant.
Li looked to his left and right. No pendant. Looked in front of him. Still no pendant!
Finally, Li looked down. No…hey! That's Sakura's key!
Sakura looked in front of her and saw… Li's pendant!
Li, overjoyed for a chance to speak to Sakura, quickly grabbed the key.
Now, don't say anything to offend her! You've already done too much!
Wow! Sakura thought as she picked up Li's pendant. I get to see Li! Now, calm down, and smile!J
Sakura and Li simultaneously jumped from their seats and bolted for the other's seat, which, in turn, caused them to collide!
"Owwwwwwww!" Li said.
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Sakura replied.
The two young adults rubbed their heads, gently caressing the spot where they collided.
Li suddenly realized he bawled into Sakura.
" Sakura! Are you allright!?" Li asked, concerned.
" Uhhhhhh…" Sakura turned a light shade of pink as Li helped her up.
" Yeah, I'm fine. What about you?" Sakura replied while gazing into his eyes.
" Uhh… allright." Li said, embarrassed that Sakura was gazing into his eyes.
What a lovely shade of green. Li thought as he gazed into Sakura's eyes also.
" Whoa!… um, here's your key!" Li said, quickly, breaking the ' gaze into the other's eyes for a really looooong time' feeling.
" Thanks. Here's your pendant." Sakura replied, never taking her eyes off of Li.
" Don't you children know not to stand in the aisle!? You're blocking the way!" a mean flight attendant said. [Sorry! No offense to flight attendants!]
" Okay!" Lie said, very rudely.
Don't' you dare diss Sakura! Li thought as he glared at the retreating attendant.
****************** later….********************************************
I hate the peanuts on planes! Sakura grumbled as she struggled with the bag.
Suddenly, she got an evil anime look on her face.
I know! I'll have Li help me!
Sakura went up to Li.
" Sakura! Is something wrong!"
" No! I mean, I can't get my bag of peanuts open!" Sacra said, and sweat-dropped a little.
" I'll be glad to help!" Lie joyfully said.
" Hoe?" Sakura looked at him, perplexed.
Li sweatdropped a bit. Uh-oh.
" Sakura! Watch out! That flight attendant is coming back!" Lara, Li's 16 year old sister hissed.
With that, she picked Sakura up and placed her into the seat next to Li, and moved off.
At this, Sakura and Li both blushed a bit.
Li got the bag open [ooo! Whatta man!] and handed it to Sakura.
" Here you go," Li said, with a little smile, thinking Sakura wouldn't notice.
He's smiling at me! Sakura blushed.
" Thanks, Li!" Sakura replied with a huge smile.
Whoa! Those are like rays of light! Li thought. His legs went to mush, and he fell off his chair.
" Great Far Sides' Cow! Are you allright, Li?" Sakura asked as she helped him up.
" Yeah. Totally…. Perfect…" Li said, staring into her eyes.
They stayed like that until Li's mom came back to sit down.L
******* going to Syaoran's house ************
" Wow! Your house is sooo pretty!" Sakura exclaimed as her eyes sparkled.
At this, Li beamed with pride.
" Yeah, we're building a cabin over there." Kari pointed to a grassy plain with the ground set for a cabin.
" We thought it would go a little faster if we had the use of your magic, Sakura." Lara added.
" It'll go extra fast with Li, too." Sakura said while flashing him an extra bright smile.
Li turned a very dark shade of crimson.
" Ooooooh! Li's bluushhhhing!" Kari and Lara giggled.
Kero stuck his kawaii head out of Sakura's backpack.
" Yo, Sakura! I've been meaning to ask you. What is in all these super thick photo albums? Wait! There's one with you and…!"
" Kero! Stop nosing through my personal belongings!" a very miffed Sakura replied. She snatched the albums from Kero's paws.
" Huh?!" Kero furrowed his eyebrows.
" I sense magic from a Clow card…"
Li's mother turned to Kero.
" That would be the grandfather clock. Clow used some magic on it."
" Oh! That's the clock that..! Hey! Whatta ya lookin' at, kid?"
That little ball of fluff will ruin my plans!
" Here we are!" Lara said before Kero and Li could get into a fight.
********************* later ********************************
Sakura gazed around in awe at her room.
It had a pretty design of cherry blossoms all over [hmmm].
^ Knock knock ^
" Come in!" Sakura said.
As Li tentatively stepped in, Sakura brightened.
" Oh! Come on, Sakura! I want to show you something!" Li said.
Sakura hurried after him.
I wonder what he wants to show me, but anything with Li is great!
I hope this works… Li thought.
" Wow! What a beautiful grandfather clock!" Sakura said, amazed at the elegant beauty before her.
Li was about to step up when…
" LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!"
Li and Sakura's eyes popped as the familiar voice interrupted their 'moment.'
" Li!" Meilin cried as she flung her arms around him.
" I missed you sooooo much! My betrothed has come back!"
I'd better leave those two alone, Sakura thought as she sadly walked away.
" Wait! Sakura! Don't go!" Li pleaded as Sakura disappeared.
" Hey! What's Avalon doing here!?"
" Helping us out, Meilin! For the last time, I am NOT your betrothed!"
Li shook Meilin off and went to his room to sulk.
*********** syaoran's room ********************************************
Sakura, my love, I can't hurt you, but how will I tell you I love you? I can't hurt you, because I have to marry Meilin. I just don't like the word betrothed.
Li stared at the angel sitting under his favorite [hee hee] tree.
Don't worry, Sakura. I would never hurt you.
There! Part 2 is done! * Runs around the room* I'm great! I've finally gotten off my CCS writer's block!
Well, here's some foreshadowing for you:
Will Li and Sakura be at the grandfather clock?
How much will Meilin intrude on them?
What will happen tomorrow, while building?
Meilin- I don't hate her! Wait and see! *hee hee hee*
I don't know, but I'll try my best! Good reviews for me! I'll try to get Part 3 next week, but I have state tests for reading and math!L
