Li's Love: Part 4- Mirror on the clock
By: Rainbow!
Rainbow: I can't find Wingdings 2! It has the heart on it! *Cries*
Kero: Get a life! The readers wanna know what's gonna happen in the story!
Rainbow: You're right! Enough of busted computers! I'm gonna write part 4, right here, right now!
Sakura: You go girl!
Syaoran: About time.
Rainbow: It's better than not at all! Anyway, nice to have you people read my mediocre writings, so, thank you all! For those patient fans of Saka and Syao, hee hee!
I don't own any of the characters in this story, or anything else. I know nothing of Li's family, and I don't have any money, so don't sue me and if you don't like my story, just don't read them! Nice reviews and I pray that this story will work! Ps. This may be a little sappy with a "certain" kawaii duo.

" Meilin! I can't see! Get your butt outta the way! How am I supposed to tape this if all the camera gets is your pants!?" Tomoyo complained to Meilin.
Meilin humphed and moved out of Tomoyo's way.
" Remind me again, why the heck are Sakura and the brat standing in front of the mirror?"
" So we can see if they're meant to be!" Lara hissed her reply to Kero-chan's question.
Gulp. Oh man, I adore Sakura and I really hope that this confounded mirror will work! Wait! I meant wonderful, shiny mirror! Li thought, trying to wish his way to having the mirror show half of Sakura connected to him.
If there were ever a time for the luck card, it'd be now! Sakura thought as she nervously shifted her weight.
" Okay, Li. Stand over here on the left side of the mirror." Li's mother instructed.
Li quickly moved to the left side of the mirror, eager to see what would happen when Sakura arrived.
" You to the other side, Sakura," Mrs. Showron gently said.
Sakura drew in her breath and closed her eyes as she stepped forward towards the mirror. Suddenly, a bright white light swept over Sakura, a light that resembled the Time card freezing time.
" Hoe?" Sakura questioned out loud as she looked around her.
Sakura was in a large, white room. Whoa, Sakura puzzled. When did I change clothes? Sakura was wearing a beautifully embroidered white dress (Wedding? Heh heh).
" Who are you?"
Sakura snapped to attention and looked for the source of the voice. It came from a shadowed corner, the only darkness within the light.
" I'm Sakura, who are you?" Sakura replied.
Out of the shadows, a female appeared. She was Tori's height with short, auburn hair. When Sakura looked into her eyes, she felt like she was being sucked into a vortex.
Wow, her eyes are magnificent. I feel scared, yet completely safe, like when I'm around Li. Her eyes are a bit darker, though. Sakura thought.
The teenager with the dark chocolate eyes and auburn hair was wearing a flowing white dress, somewhat similar to the elegance of Sakura's dress.
" You can call me Belle," the girl replied.
" Why is there only that darkness in the corner?" a perplexed Sakura asked.
" That," Belle replied " is your uncertainty."
"Hoe!?"
" You're uncertain about love, if you want it, deserve it, need it, it's basically your doubt of one thing." Belle replied with a bit of sadness in her eyes.
" What do I doubt?" Sakura asked.
" I'm afraid I can't tell you that," Belle said with a sad wistfullness. " I can tell you that when you find out what it is, you'll have to find the light and courage to fight back the doubt to find love."
Sakura stared into Belle's eyes, hoping to find the answer, but they remained passive, not letting her have the easy way out.
" Follow your heart, for you truly have love inside," Belle said.
With that, Sakura felt a breeze as she was whisked back to the grandfather clock.
Sakura slowly opened her eyes to see half of her, connected to the other half of Li. Li himself was gaping at the clock, Kari and Lara dancing around singing, Mrs. Showron had a big smile, Tomoyo was emitting a glowing radiance behind her camera, while poor Kero-chan and Meilin's jaws dropped to the floor.
Li looks so nice when he smiles. But why is this happening? Why is that clock showing this stuff! I don't deserve it! Oh, I'm so confused! Sakura thought and ran out of the room, crying. I don't understand…
If it weren't for a safety strap, Tomoyo's camera would've dropped to the floor and broke.
" Meilin!! WHAT did you do!!!!!????" Lara cried and started to shake Meilin.
This is my entire fault. Sakura obviously doesn't like me and is afraid because I'm too, scary. I'm too harsh to her, and everything I do is wrong! Li thought and ran the other way.
" Uh, I don't think this was supposed to happen," Li's mom said.
" I agree. They're supposed to kiss and all that mush," Kari added.
Everyone, excluding Sakura and Li, stood there gaping at Sakura's exit, and then at Li's point of departure.
" Well," Kero drew in his breath. "I'm her guardian, so I'll go talk to Sakura."
" No," Lara said. " Syaoran is a guy, and you're the only other male here, so you two have one of those "Guy" talks."
" You are gravely mistaken, my dear Lara," Kero replied. " Family have talks. Besides, I'd probably intimidate him so much, he'd wet his pants."
" Yeah," Lara snorted.
" It's true. No one can resist this handsome hunk," Kero boasted.
" Fuzzy wuzzy wuz a guardian, Fuzzy wuzzy had no hair after Lara shaved him bald, Fuzzy wuzzy isn't cute anymore, is he?" Lara sneered.
" WILL YOU TWO STOP FIGHTING AND GO HELP YOUR FRIEND/ FAMILY!!??" Tomoyo screamed.
" Sorry," Kero and Lara said a little red.
"Good. Kari, Lara, get a miniature camera and go aid your brother in his time of despair. Kero-chan, go for Sakura, I've got camera duty. Is everybody clear on their missions?" Tomoyo instructed.
" Yes ma'am!" The new recruits saluted and went off to find the lovers in despair.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ To our Li-kun ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
How could I ever have thought that Sakura would like a guy like me? STUPID! Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid! Li started hitting his head against the tree. Ow! Hitting my head won't help my dilemma, besides, it hurts!
" SYAORAN!" Kari yelled right in Li's ears.
" AAAAAAAAAAAAA! Don't scare me like that!" Li reprimanded.
" Syaoran, you're our little brother and we can help you out in anything, especially girls." Lara gently said.
Li looked down at the ground.
" Come on, Syao, you can tell your beautiful sisters anything," Kari put her arms around Li.
" Well, I think Sakura doesn't like me."
" What! Not liking you! You're our little brother! You have our genes! No one can resist you!" Lara wailed.
" Yeah! All you need is a little courage," Kari said, providing words of wisdom.
" But, what am I going to say?"
" Anything! What you like about her, anything that comes to your mind that's not offensive or rude. But most of all," Lara said.
" You MUST TELL HER YOU LOVE HER!!" Kari and Lara emphasized.
Li stood blinking. I never knew how much my sisters cared about my love life. Or me, for that matter.
" Well, it could work," Li replied, reluctantly.
" Of course it will work! All you need is hope!" Kari said.
" Or is it love?" Lara pondered out loud.
Li looked frantically at his sisters. I sure hope they're right.
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ Where Sakura is hiding
Sniff. I don't get it. Why did that mirror show that? Li doesn't love me. He can't. Why would he ever want to? Sakura thought while crying against Li's favorite tree.
" Hey, kid. How're you doing?" Kero gently inquired.
Sakura looked up to see Kero; her eyes still brimmed with tears.
" Oh, Kero-chan, I'm so confused!" Sakura wailed.
" Aw, Sakura, you know that you can always talk to me about anything," Kero quietly said and flew into Sakura's arms to provide some comfort to his friend.
" I just don't know what I'm doing, what I am, or where I'm going," Sakura said.
Sounds like Sakura's got teen issues, Kero thought.
" Don't worry, Sakura. Everything will be all right."
" Really?"
" Yeah. That brat- oops- I mean Li-kid is actually pretty nice. He loves you."
Sakura bit her lip, pondering Kero's words.
" You gotta stop doubting yourself. And love, for that matter," Kero said.
Sakura's pupils contracted. Could this be what Belle was talking about?
" Listen, Sakura," Kero said and flew so their eyes met. " You're my best friend in the world and I wouldn't let anything happen to you. I really like it when you're happy and I know you're happy when that Li is around. He wouldn't let anything hurt you." Kero grinned, trying his best to make his friend happy.
"Kero-chan, you're such a great friend," Sakura cried and gave him a gigantic hug.
" Aw, it was nothing. I'm sorry, but I have to leave- there's still a fridge to raid that's full of pudding! Besides, it looks like you need some time to think. Just remember, you have to have hope and faith in yourself," Kero said and flew off towards the mansion.
Maybe Kero-chan's right. Maybe I do have love…
(Guess what? It's song time! That means Li's probably around…lyrics in Italics, I don't own the song or anything…blah blah blah. Here I go!)
Deep in my soul, a love so strong, it takes control,
Now we both know, the secrets bared, the feeling shows,
Driven far apart, I make a wish, on a shooting star…
There will come a day, somewhere far away, in your arms I'll stay, my only love
Li comes out from behind a tree.
" Sakura?"
" Hoe?" A startled Sakura answered.
She looks so cute when she does that! Li smiled.
" Um, Sakura, I have to tell you something," Li took a deep breath. " The thing that stood out most about you, that made me think, is that you always think of others before yourself. You never think of what you want. You always think of your friends and family first."
Sakura stared hopefully at him.
" What I'm trying to say, is, Sakura, I…love you."
Even thought you're gone, love will still live on, the feeling is so strong, my only love,
My only love
There will come a day, somewhere far away, in your arms I'll stay my only love. You've reached the deepest part, of the secret in my heart, I've know it from the start, my only love,
My only love
Hoe? Li loves me?
Suddenly, a familiar white flash enveloped Sakura and she found herself in the company of Belle.
" You did it." Belle congratulated.
" Hoe? I did what?"
Belle smiled. " You have lost the doubt of Li loving you. Look around you."
Sakura looked around and she saw that the shadows of her doubts faded away into the light.
" So, all this darkness was from the fact that I didn't believe that Li liked me?" Sakura exclaimed.
" Yes," Belle said. " When Li said that he loved you, your doubt was erased. I personally thought that he would have said that sooner. I also thought that you wouldn't forget that you had love. Guess I was wrong."
" How would you know that?" Sakura cocked an eyebrow.
" Easy," Belle grinned. " I'm the love card."
" HOE!?" Sakura yelped and jumped backwards. " You're saying that you toyed with our destiny?"
" No, I just made sure that both of you found what you really had inside. For Li, I had to make sure that he found love under fear, compassion under greed, and partnership over competition. For you, all you needed was a little hope. Both of you had those traits inside of you all along. You just needed a little nudge in the right direction," Belle explained.
" Oh, I'm confused all over again!" Sakura wailed.
Belle just smiled and said, " Whatever."
" Well, I now know that I shouldn't doubt love. Thanks for your help, Belle."
" Anytime. Just remember, I'm always in your, and everybody's heart. All you need to do is open your heart to let me come through." Belle smiled and waved good-bye.
As Sakura was returning to Li, Belle called out: " Both of you have a good time together! You two aren't destined for nothing, you know!"
Sakura smiled and opened her eyes back to reality.
" Sakura, I completely understand if you don't feel the same way," Li said a little sadly.
Sakura put her hand to his lips to silence him. " Now, now. None of that nonsense. Of course I love you, Li. If not I didn't, then why would I do this?" Sakura said, her heart pounding.
Slowly, Sakura brought her head closer to Li's. She was inches from his face and she gazed lovingly into his eyes. Li's eyes brightened and he gave her a loving smile before he brought his head closer, until their lips met and they kissed. After several seconds, Sakura wrapped her arms around Li's neck. After they couldn't breath anymore, Li and Sakura released their kiss, but Sakura still held onto Li tightly.
" Don't ever go away, Li. I love you," Sakura breathed.
" I promise, Ying Fa. I love you too," Li whispered.
" So, I'm Ying Fa, huh?" Sakura giggled.
" Yeah," Li said, grateful that Sakura couldn't see him blushing.
" Well then, how about I call you my ai no senshi?" Sakura asked.
" What's that mean?"
" It means soldier of love."
" I'd be honored," Li said, and squeezed Sakura a little tighter.
Meanwhile, in the bushes:
" I think I'm going into cardiac arrest."
{{{{{{{{{ A little while later, at the cabin, everybody is there
" So," Lara said as Li and Sakura wandered over to the group. " I take it that you two are a couple?"
Li and Sakura both blushed like they were on fire.
" I'll take that as a yes!" Kari cheered. " What do you think of that, Kero-chan?"
" Wha?" Kero asked, wiping pudding off of his mouth.
" Aaaack! I give up!" Kari moaned and threw her hands in the air.
Suddenly, Meilin collapsed to the floor, rolling in laughter. Seeing her laugh, Kari, Lara, Tomoyo, and Li's mom started laughing too. Kero, Sakura, and Li just stared at them.
" What the heck is going on?!" Li demanded.
" Well, you see," Tomoyo explained during her giggles. " That we planned this trip for the two of you to get together!"
Sakura, Li, and Kero's jaws dropped down so low, they could eat the grass.
" WHAT!!?" they exclaimed.
" We just wanted to get you two together. We were tired of you two being in love with each other and since you were doing absolutely nothing about it, we decided both of you needed a little nudge in the right direction," Meilin explained some more.
" How come I wasn't informed of this!?" Kero exclaimed.
" We were afraid that you wouldn't want to do it, since you don't seem to have an incredible fondness for my son," Mrs. Showron said.
" Aw, I'm always left in the dust. But at least I got pudding!" Kero brightened at the fond memories of eating his favorite food.
At that, everyone laughed.
" Besides, it worked, didn't it? Both of you are together, aren't you?" Kari asked.
" Yeah, well, thanks for your thoughtful gestures," Sakura thanked.
" Anyway, we can relive this week all over again and again!" Tomoyo rejoiced.
" Why's that?" Li paled.
" I've got every moment on tape!" and ecstatic Tomoyo jumped around.
" You…didn't…" Sakura said.
Tomoyo just smiled as if she won the jackpot. " I could win a Pulitzer for just five minutes on one tape! Ohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohoho!!
Sakura and Li gaped in horror and started chasing Tomoyo.
" Give us those tapes! Do you have them censored? You shouldn't be seeing them! Are you selling them on the black market?" Sakura and Li shouted out as they tore after the laughing Tomoyo.
Up on hill where no one could see, Belle stood, smiling, gazing down at the young couple.
I knew they were meant to be. You have made a wise choice, Clow Reed. This card mistress is the right one. With her love, she will become as great and legendary as you.

This ends Li's Love! Thank you everyone, who reviewed, makes me know that I'm not half bad! If you want more, all you need to do is ask!
Again, I'm sorry this took so long. Stupid computer.
