Kiss and Flee-Yet Another Cardcaptors story involving Li
By: The Second Sailor Destiny
Author's Notes: Okay, I've had a couple of people mention an reoccuring problem in all of my stories so I believe that it is time I tell these people what I have decided to do about it. Some of you happen to be complaining about my spelling and grammars errors. I find it to be shocking that some people can judge a story by spelling rather than the plot but I have decided to announce why my spelling and grammar skills are out of line.
1. My main word processing program has been down for some time now so I've been forced to use word and notepad where spell and grammar check are non-existent.
2. I'm not a very good proofreader.(Beta-reader anyone?)
I put plenty of effort into writing stories that will entertain the readers, but I'm not trying to be perfect. But if I use something that I know doesn't exist, it will most likely be for a reason.
I know that Meilin released Li from his promise in the series but in my story, she doesn't let up at all. This is for a reason. As all fans would know, Sakura would never torture anyone in the show. Once again, she does it for a reason. Almost every unexplainable thing that you catch will be explained later on....so please....be patient. Also, I am very new to Cardcaptors fics. And any fic for that matter. My writing WILL improve. I just need a little time. Enough with the dark talk....let's get on with the story!!!!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Disclaimer: I'm tired of writing these blasted disclaimers....ugh....I don't own Cardcaptor Sakura. You can sue me.....but you'll most likely get something a little less shinier than used toliet paper....eww...if that rubs you the wrong way.....don't sue me!!!

My props to my sis', SailorTee, for proofreading this chapter

Sakura drew back her sword one last time just as Li clamped his eyes shut.
*So this is the end?*
Sakura's blade was just about to pierce Li's flesh when a voice was heard. It was none other than Meilin.
"HIYA!!!!" Almost out of no where, Meilin delivered a flying kick to Sakura's hardened face, knocking her a good distance away from Li. Meilin turned to Li, her face still leaking blood, but a stern look crossing her face.
"Li, that's about all I can do right now. You have got to think of something and fast!!!"
Li just sat there for a few moments, dumbfounded, when an idea hit him. *That's it!*
"Okay Meilin, we've got to get back to Madison before Sakura gets up again. Let's go!" Li stood up and took off in a limping sprint towards Madison. On the way, Meilin spoke up.
"Li, I'm so-" Li gruffly cut her off,
"Not now Meilin...." every word he said was dripping with venom. A few moments later, they reached an unconcious Madison. Li kneeled down and shook her gently.
"Madison? Madison? Can you hear me?" no response. *sigh* Suddenly, a frightened yell escaped Meilin's lips.
"LI!!!! She's coming!!!! You have got to do something and fast!!!" Sakura was closing in fast, her eyes blazing and blade in hand. She was just preparing herself for a leap, and in Li's case, when she landed, it would be fatal.
"Okay,......" Li pulled out a card of thin air, whispered some wild incantaion, made even wilder hand guestures, and then.......he, Meilin, and Madison vanished, just as Sakura's sword struck the ground where they previously sat. For a moment, she stood in her same landing position. Hands gripping the sword and leaning forward. After a brief moment, she removed her sword from the ground and announced Li's fate to thin air.
"Li, you will pay for your betrayal with you life....." and she vanished once more.........
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Li, Meilin, and a still unconcious Madison reappeared in midar, in Sakura's room. They floated for a few moments, then landed in a tangeled heap.
"Omph!! Get off me Meilin!!!"
"Well SORRY!!!!" Li sat up and began to brush himself off. He lifted his head and he was about to tell Meilin to be quiet when he froze. There was a yellowish-orange thing floating in his face. He stared at it for a moment then screamed.
"AAAHHH!!!"
"Will you shut up kid?!!" Kero hissed. "What the name of clow are you doing here?" Li let out an exasperated sigh,
"It's a really long story...."
"I'm listening....." Li took a deep breath and began explaining what had happened since early that morning. (AN: I'm not going to bother writing that all over again because I know some of you would get tired of reading the same thing twice....like DUH!! ^_^) Kero gruffly interupted him when he got to Meilin kissing him.
"You did WHAT?!!!" he bellowed, "How could you kiss THAT?!" He silently thanked Kami that Sakura's dad was at work and that Tori was at school. (AN: College if you are wondering...)
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING THAT?!" Meilin screamed.
"Who else do you think little girl?!", Kero turned his head back towards Li and continued, all while ignoring Meilin's constant hollering,
"Anyhow, I want to know why. How could you go and kiss her knowing fully, that's there is another girl who is obviously in love with you? What's the grand explanation kid?" Meilin's hollering abruptly stopped. She took a step towards the two and in an almost whisper said,
"That would be my fault Kero....." she was choking every now and then.
"What exactly do you mean Meilin?" Kero was curious to know how Meilin had affected the situation. And why what she did was causing her unusual reaction to his question.
"There is a part that Li left out....."
"Oh really?" Kero shot a mischievious glare toward Li. "And what would that be kid? he said mockingly. Suprisingly, Li didn't blush. Instead, he looked furious.
"If you want to know, I'll tell you, but do NOT make me repeat myself...."
"Fine...whatever kid...just get on with the story....." Li turned his back and looked out the window so he wouldn't have to face Meilin while he was speaking.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Finally....the flashback that explains alot~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Meilin was following Li around like a lost pup...again.
"Come on Li.....please?" she gave him her best puppy dog eyes, which weren't very good.
"NO!!! I WILL NOT WALK YOU TO CLASS!!!! NOW GO AWAY!!!" Li turned his back towards her and began to walk towards his and Sakura's meeting spot when Meilin suddenly grabbed his arm and clung on to him for dear life.
"Please....come on Li...."
"Come on Meilin.....ugh!!! GET OFF!!!" Li was beginning to panic. *Sakura is going to be here any minute!! What if she sees us?!* he franticly thought. "Meilin!!!! Come on! You have got to let go!!!"
"Not until you walk me to class........" Li felt like he was going to have a heart attack, his heart was pounding against his muscle rippled (AN:*purrrrr*) chest so fast that he would've swore to anyone that you could hear it. He suddenly jumped as an idea hit him.
"Li? Is something wrong?"
*Okay, Sakura shouldn't be here for another five minutes. She's never on time for anything.....so if I make Meilin agree to leave me alone if I walk her to class for a week, I'll finally be home free!! I'll just have to explain everything to Sakura after school...I'm sure she'll understa-* His thoughts were cut off as her caught a glimpse of something moving in front of his face. He was almost about to hit it when his brain registered what it was. It was Meilin's hand waving in front of his eyes, trying to bring him out of his trance.
"Yo? Hello? Earth to Li? Planet Earth to Li!!!" *God she's annoying* Li thought.
He leaned in closer so no one would hear what he was about to say.
"Listen Meilin, I'll walk you to class for a week as long as you promise to leave me alone. I want you to remember that I have a girlfriend (AN: Sakura....duh ^_^) and even if she doesn't know, (AN: The fact that Sakura doesn't know that Li loves her is VERY important to the plot. Remember that.) I love her more than life itself. So you keep your end of the bargain, and I'll keep mine. Deal?" Meilin just scowled. For a second, Li didn't think that she would accept. But, she suddenly started beaming. Then came the legendary squealing and blushing.
"Really? Will you do that Li?" He was deeply tempted to say no and walk off, but if doing this meant being free from the paws of Meilin (AN: And into Sakura's....*snigger*), then he was willing to do it.
"Sure..." he hesitantly stuttered.
"Yeah!! Thank-you!!!"
"But don't forget....." Meilin cut him off,
"Don't worry....I won't...."She clung to his arm and nuzzled his shoulder. That was almost the last straw for Li. He was ready to spit out of disgust and take off. Then he thought of what the outcome of this would be. * Me and Sakura can finally stop looking over our shoulders...* Without even thinking about how it would look to others, Li started positivley beaming. A small voice in the back of his head asked him why Meilin was so happy, but his own happiness over-shadowed the voice. (*Close-up on Meiln's face......*)
*Hehehehe.....I could easily think of a plan to get Li in a week...* a handful of malicious thoughts were flowing through her head as they walked down the hallway, arm in arm.
After what seemed like all to long for Li, and all to short for Meilin, they reached the geography classroom. Meilin released Li's arm and turned to face him.
"Thanks for walking me to class Li....I" Li cut her off,
"It no prob...as long as you don't forget that..." This time it was Meiln's turn to interrput,
"Don't worry...." she said a bit irritated, "I won't forget..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*End Flashback*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
With his back still turned, Li spat out his next words as if they were horribly bitter on his tounge.
"Apparantly, Ms. Meiln saw Sakura watching us from around the corner so she....," he jumped as if saying the next words would kill him,
"....kissed me....She pulled away before I had a chance to react...Let alone kill her....Since Sakura was watching us, she must've saw me turn crimson with anger. But she most likely thought that I was blushing because I was happy that SHE kissed me...." Li finally turned around and looked at Kero. Kero had his head hanging down and from the red aura surrounding him, it was obvious that he was fuming. (AN: Like....um Duh? ^_^) Meilin finally spoke up,
"Li? I'm sorry....I know that you love Sakura but I love you too...."
"Sorry Meiln, you'll have to find another guy. Just leave it at that or I might end up hating you...."
Meilin looked shocked.
"You mean you don't already?" Li gave her the famous death glare,
" Not YET....It would be wise of you to keep quiet Meilin." It seemed that Li had calmed down a bit, but Kero was still QUITE pissed off. He swung around and stared Meilin straight in the face.
"You must have a heart of ice to do something that cold Meilin....How far will you go to get something that you want?!!! Will you even try to kill Sakura?!! WELL?!!"
"NO!!!! I've accepted the fact that there is no way that Li will love me....I just wasn't thinking at the moment....."
"NEWS FLASH!!!! ISN'T THAT OBVIOUS!!!!" yelled Kero.
"LOOK!!! I'M SORRY!!!" Meilin bursted into tears. Kero's felt a bit guilty, so his gaze softened a bit, but it was still hard none the less.
"Kero!! That's enough!!! That was a mistake that will come to pass, but right now, you HAVE to listen to what I have say about Sakura!!!" Kero snapped out of his angered state.
"Speaking of...where is Sakura?!?!?!?" Kero noticed that a silvery glaze crossed Li's eyes at the mention of her name.
"Oh no....What's happened to Sakura?!! Where is she?!!!" Li slowly sunk to the floor and buried his head in his knees and his hands in his hair.
"She's probably on her way here..." he said flatly.
"Hunh? What the heck are you talking about kid?" Li lifted his head, took a deep breath, and began. (AN: Sorry folks, not gonna write that again...hope ya don't mind)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*End of Li's explanation*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Li finally finished telling that day's previous events. He looked up at Kero's face. Kero looked worried, angry, confused, and serious all at the same time. He was floating around the room, but the was still silent.
"Um Kero,...do you think you could tell me what's going on?" Li said a bit confused.
*Silence*
A low moan told them that Madison woken up.
"Ugh....where's the bus?" Li rushed to her side.
"Madison, are you okay?!"
"Yeah....one throbbing headache, chiseling away at my head, but I'll live. What happened to Sakura?"
"That's what I'm trying to get Kero help me figure out....but he's seems to be
in lala land." Madison tuned her gaze towards where Kero was pacing in the air. (a.k.a flying...) He indeed looked like he was in lala land. More like a major space case.
"Um...Kero...?"
*Silence*
"Will you tell us what's wrong you dumb stuffed animal?!!" yelled Meilin.
*Silence*
"Humph!!!! I always knew there was something wrong with y-" Kero interrupted her.
"Be quiet little girl...." Meilin turned red instantly and began shouting again. Much like an earlier scene, Kero ignored her, turned around, and started speaking to Li again.
"You said it was Madison who got you from the classrom, right?" Li looked a bit confused.
"Yeah, why?" Kero turned towards Madison and spoke in a calm yet serious voice,
"Madison, I need to know about anything you noticed was strange while you were with Sakura before I can be fully be sure, about what is wrong with her..." Madison nodded.
"After she had told me what happened *glare shot at Li* she started shaking like mad.....I didn't know what was wrong with her. But when I put a hand to her shoulder, it felt like her whole body was pulsing. Almost like, something was trying to get out...then she said, 'I'm going to kill that whore...' Her voice was oddly low though. Then, she just dissapeared..." Madison finished and Kero turned her back on her. Li spoke up,
"Kero? Can you tell us what it is?"
*Silence* (AN: Just trying to build the suspense....don't you hate me? ^_^)
"Kero?!! Tell me what it is dammit?!!" Li was losing his patience with Kero very quickly.
*Silence*
"Kero....?" Madison said in a worried voice.
"The Betrayal card...."
ALL: "WHAT?!!!"
Kero finally face the stunned group of three.
"The Betrayal card, is the most powerful of all, but it can't be captured. It must be destroyed." Li looked as if he was going to cry.
"But Sakura is inside of that thing!!!" Kero was annoyed that Li interrupted him so he yelled at him,
"No!! Sakura is that thing!! But you don't have to even touch Betrayl...."
"Okay...now I'm confused..." Meilin said.
"You see, when Sakura became a cardcaptor, she also became the 'Maiden of the Clow'. There was part of the legend that I was forbidden to tell anyone until all the cards had been captured. I never thought that this would happen, nor did I want to worry Sakura, so I decided not to tell you. The maiden had a negitive energy planted inside of her when she became a cardcaptor. That was the energy of the Betrayal card..." Li was furious.
"Well why the HELL did they do that?" he said sarcasticly.
"It was another test, but not of her, of you, her soulmate...." Li turned so red that his roots also changed color.
"The test was to see if you were worthy of the maiden's heart. Should you fail, the negative energy inside of her, would be awakened, in the form of the Betrayal card. The energy can only be activated by pain, but this pain must be a certain type, betrayal. Should she ever be betrayed by her soulmate, Betrayal would emerge and annahilate the source or sources of pain. But what makes Betrayl so powerful is that she can use any and all of the cards Sakura has captured or made..." Meilin looked dumbfounded.
"What do you mean 'made'?" Li silently volunteered to explain.
"Lately, Sakura and I have been experimenting with making cards for our own personal uses. That is how she paralyzed you. With the paralysis card she made early last year. Also, that is how she dispeled silent and paralysis, with the undo card she made. Also, that is how we got here. It was with a card I created, the Transport...."
"oooooohhhhh...." Meilin said, not fully understanding how that was possibble.
" This is probably going to upset you kid, but I can only give you one clue as how to regain Sakura." Li didn't care.
"I don't care if you can only tell me one word!!! Just give me something!!!" Kero looked slightly angered and embarrassed that he had to do this.
"Shut up and let me do this....it's in the form of a poem..." Madsion snickered and Kero silenced her by throwing a glare in her direction.
When magic has drained,
and both hearts are in pain,
use the tears of the maiden,
to drive the evil away...........
You can't speak to evil,
for it does not hear.......
So make sure the maiden's presence
is all you can feel, so you can earn a tear................
Li was listening intently, but he didn't get it.
"Kero!! Can't you tell me anything else?!" Kero shook his head no.
"But....I...don't get it......" Li felt lke crying. He wanted so badly to get his Sakura back, but he had no idea how. (AN: I know that the poem is REALLY simple, but Li has to be little dense so the story can continue...Gomen ^,^)
Meilin took a step towards Li and said,
" Li I think I get i-" Kero started shouting in and urgent voice.
"NO!! No one can help Li get Sakura back!!! If anyone interferes, Sakura will remain Betrayal forever...." Li was getting irritated.
"Can they at least come with me?" Kero nodded his head yes.
"As long as they don't-" But what Meilin and Madison couldn't do, Li never found out. Because at that very moment, the window in Sakura's room was blasted open by dark energy waves. And in flew Sakura. She landed and lifted her head to meet Li's gaze. Slowly, her lips formed a mischievious smirk.
"Why hello Li............"

Li finally finished telling that day's previous events. He looked up at Kero's face. Kero looked worried, angry, confused, and serious all at the same time. He was floating around the room, but the was still silent.
"Um Kero,...do you think you could tell me what's going on?" Li said a bit confused.
*Silence*
A low moan told them that Madison woken up.
"Ugh....where's the bus?" Li rushed to her side.
"Madison, are you okay?!"
"Yeah....one throbbing headache, chiseling away at my head, but I'll live. What happened to Sakura?"
"That's what I'm trying to get Kero help me figure out....but he's seems to be
in lala land." Madison tuned her gaze towards where Kero was pacing in the air. (a.k.a flying...) He indeed looked like he was in lala land. More like a major space case.
"Um...Kero...?"
*Silence*
"Will you tell us what's wrong you dumb stuffed animal?!!" yelled Meilin.
*Silence*
"Humph!!!! I always knew there was something wrong with y-" Kero interrupted her.
"Be quiet little girl...." Meilin turned red instantly and began shouting again. Much like an earlier scene, Kero ignored her, turned around, and started speaking to Li again.
"You said it was Madison who got you from the classrom, right?" Li looked a bit confused.
"Yeah, why?" Kero turned towards Madison and spoke in a calm yet serious voice,
"Madison, I need to know about anything you noticed was strange while you were with Sakura before I can be fully be sure, about what is wrong with her..." Madison nodded.
"After she had told me what happened *glare shot at Li* she started shaking like mad.....I didn't know what was wrong with her. But when I put a hand to her shoulder, it felt like her whole body was pulsing. Almost like, something was trying to get out...then she said, 'I'm going to kill that whore...' Her voice was oddly low though. Then, she just dissapeared..." Madison finished and Kero turned her back on her. Li spoke up,
"Kero? Can you tell us what it is?"
*Silence* (AN: Just trying to build the suspense....don't you hate me? ^_^)
"Kero?!! Tell me what it is dammit?!!" Li was losing his patience with Kero very quickly.
*Silence*
"Kero....?" Madison said in a worried voice.
"The Betrayal card...."
ALL: "WHAT?!!!"
Kero finally face the stunned group of three.
"The Betrayal card, is the most powerful of all, but it can't be captured. It must be destroyed." Li looked as if he was going to cry.
"But Sakura is inside of that thing!!!" Kero was annoyed that Li interrupted him so he yelled at him,
"No!! Sakura is that thing!! But you don't have to even touch Betrayl...."
"Okay...now I'm confused..." Meilin said.
"You see, when Sakura became a cardcaptor, she also became the 'Maiden of the Clow'. There was part of the legend that I was forbidden to tell anyone until all the cards had been captured. I never thought that this would happen, nor did I want to worry Sakura, so I decided not to tell you. The maiden had a negitive energy planted inside of her when she became a cardcaptor. That was the energy of the Betrayal card..." Li was furious.
"Well why the HELL did they do that?" he said sarcasticly.
"It was another test, but not of her, of you, her soulmate...." Li turned so red that his roots also changed color.
"The test was to see if you were worthy of the maiden's heart. Should you fail, the negative energy inside of her, would be awakened, in the form of the Betrayal card. The energy can only be activated by pain, but this pain must be a certain type, betrayal. Should she ever be betrayed by her soulmate, Betrayal would emerge and annahilate the source or sources of pain. But what makes Betrayl so powerful is that she can use any and all of the cards Sakura has captured or made..." Meilin looked dumbfounded.
"What do you mean 'made'?" Li silently volunteered to explain.
"Lately, Sakura and I have been experimenting with making cards for our own personal uses. That is how she paralyzed you. With the paralysis card she made early last year. Also, that is how she dispeled silent and paralysis, with the undo card she made. Also, that is how we got here. It was with a card I created, the Transport...."
"oooooohhhhh...." Meilin said, not fully understanding how that was possibble.
" This is probably going to upset you kid, but I can only give you one clue as how to regain Sakura." Li didn't care.
"I don't care if you can only tell me one word!!! Just give me something!!!" Kero looked slightly angered and embarrassed that he had to do this.
"Shut up and let me do this....it's in the form of a poem..." Madsion snickered and Kero silenced her by throwing a glare in her direction.
When magic has drained,
and both hearts are in pain,
use the tears of the maiden,
to drive the evil away...........
You can't speak to evil,
for it does not hear.......
So make sure the maiden's presence
is all you can feel, so you can earn a tear................
Li was listening intently, but he didn't get it.
"Kero!! Can't you tell me anything else?!" Kero shook his head no.
"But....I...don't get it......" Li felt lke crying. He wanted so badly to get his Sakura back, but he had no idea how. (AN: I know that the poem is REALLY simple, but Li has to be little dense so the story can continue...Gomen ^,^)
Meilin took a step towards Li and said,
" Li I think I get i-" Kero started shouting in and urgent voice.
"NO!! No one can help Li get Sakura back!!! If anyone interferes, Sakura will remain Betrayal forever...." Li was getting irritated.
"Can they at least come with me?" Kero nodded his head yes.
"As long as they don't-" But what Meilin and Madison couldn't do, Li never found out. Because at that very moment, the window in Sakura's room was blasted open by dark energy waves. And in flew Sakura. She landed and lifted her head to meet Li's gaze. Slowly, her lips formed a mischievious smirk.
"Why hello Li............"
