The cards of the jealous

Chapter one:

The thief card

Note:

OK! I've read the episode guide and I've found out that Meilin and Li don't end up together (was I ever relieved!) so here's my fanfic about how Meilin gets back at Sakura and Li when they become a couple.

Don't own anything, sept Towra, he's my character, please don't use him without my permis.

Sakura, Li, Madison, Towra, Meilin: 19

Tori, Julian: 25

There, andI think you'll be able to work out anybody elses age.

Please review and add it to your favorites if you like it!

Li shot up in bed, sweating and breathing hard. Next to him Sakura stirred and, with half open eyes, raised her arms to him for a hug.

Distracted, Li bent down to hug her and brush the golden hair away from her eyes, before getting up and going to the window, stareing down over the huge yard which linked the two apartment blocks. He reassured himself there was nothing there, but something nagged at the back of his mmind, that dream....

he turnned to see Sakura proped up one elbow, blinking at him in the morning light streaming in through the window. She was all twistedup in the white sheets, the caramel coloured straps of her nightie slipping down her shoulders, You didn't give me my proper huh.

Li smiled and walked over the the bed, leaning over to kiss her gently on the lips, infinatly happy that he had finally managed to tell her how much he loved her. But she knew something was wrong with him, she always could tell.

What's wrong baby? she asked, letting him lie down again and begining to stroke his hair.

It's nothing, there was no point in worrying Sakura about a dream. He stole a corner of the sheet and covered himself up, it was too cold to wear boxers in bed.

No Li, it was something, she watched him, concerned.

She does always know, he thought.

Li stared at the ceiling, watching the ceiling facn spin and listening to the morning sounds comming from the other apartment block. Doors slammed, a car pulled up nad somone got out, chatting noisily to a friend, a couple of birds twittered.

It was just... he hesitated, unsure how to explain it when it was so unlikely to be important, You remember we used to sense Clow Cards? It was like that and something...attacked me out ot....something, he trailed off and looked at over at her.

So, a something attacked you out of something? she smiled and snuggled up in the crook of his neck, Don't worry about it, I'm sure it was nothing.

Li sighed and ran his fingers through her hair.

Sakura leaned on the kitchen counter, peering, through heavy lids, at the boiling kettle. Steam began to spurt from under the lid and hearing the wonderful click of the switch which signified that the water was hot, Sakura poured it into a cup of fragrant coffe beans.

She looked around the flat as she stired the coffe. It was on the top floor of an appartment block, and fairly fancy, Li had been saveing for it for years. The bedroom lead out onto a big open plan living room and kitchen. A piece of trellis with a jasmine plant growing up it, seperated the kitchen from the living room and Sakura could smell the little white flowers now. The sofa leant against the back of this trellis and the TV was right next to the bedroom door. The bedroom was attached to a tiny blue shower room, which Sakura used as a dressing room and their real bathroom was opposite their bedroom door. Hard wood floors (Lis pride and joy) filled all but the bathrooms and kitchen, which were tiled with white.

She breathed in the scent, begining to wake up and was raising the cup slowly to her lips when it happened.

At first it was very slight, the mereist tingling sensation in the very tips of her fingers, under her nails and creeping up through her hand as it began to grow. It spread so that she could feel it behind her eyes, so that she recognised the feeling beyond evry shadow of a doubt: a Clow Card.

It was in the flat, she could feel it! Without a thought for the coffe cup, which flew from her hands and smashed on the tiled floor, she spun round, trying to loacate it, trying to keep the feeling her her for as long as possible. But it was gone.

drawn by the sound of the smashing cup, Li had appeared in the bedroom doorway, concern registering on his face and still in his boxers, Are you OK?

But then he felt it too, the sensation from his dream, creeping back to him, as though trying to get passed him without being noticed, but Li, although a little rusty on the ways of the cards, still knew how to track them with his senses, and darted round so that he was faceing the bedroom. A tiny, but dark figure had just ducked behind the wardrobe door.

Sakura ran up behind Li and touched his shoulder.

Where did it go? she asked, then started past his turnned head into the bedroom, Where did our bed go?!

Li turnned to discover that the bed had indeed, disappeared. Totally. Gone. He stepped into the middle of the room where it had once been and stared into the bathroom attached to the room, the card for the moment totally forgotten.

It's the card, he said at length, Sakura, get ready to do some capturing, old style.

Sakura nodded and pulled the wand from around her neck, reciting the old phrase as she remembered.

The wand lept into her hand and she saw that Li had the sword in his. A silent look passed between them and they both closed their eyes again.

Sakura felt it first, a little jerk in the direction of the living room and followed it through....it time to see the sofa vanish.

What kind of a card would do this? she asked, stareing at Li who shrugged before noticing in the corner of his eye, the tiny dark figure, moving again.

Turnning sharply he lept into the air and began to feel the old adrenline rush at captureing a card.

Return to your power confine! Card!

He didn't even know if it would respond without it's real name, but the little dark figure was suddenly caught up into a swirl of black and pulled back into the glowing blue card at the tip of Li's sword.

This is...whoa ahhhh!! he fell from his position in the air and hit the ground hard, or he would have, if he hadn't landed on Sakura.

she groaned as Li rubbed the back of his neck and tried to get up. But the sword seemed to be stopping him.

a voice in the hallway outside sounded and Madison put her dark head round the door, Oh! I'm sorry, it's just, I rang the bell but no one answered and the door was open so I...I'll just wait out here...

Madison disapperaed behind the door again and Li managed to get to his feet.

Sakura groaned again as Li helped her to her feet, You way to much Li-chan.

he appologised and gave her a hug before going to let Madison in again.

Once she had got in she looked around the room. The sofa was back, though faceing in the wrong direction. The broken coffe mug and the brown patches of coffe still stained the tiled kitchen floor. The bed too was back, but one corner of it was sticking out of the bedroom door. All in all, it looked like Sakura and Li had been a tiny bit busy last night.

Madison looked over at Sakura and smiled wickedly.

Really Sakura-chan, it's Sunday morning! You guys had plenty of time last night!

Li and Sakura stood, still in their night clothes, and glared at her.

Ohhh, would you look at these dandy boxes below for nice, kind, lovely, wonderfull people to put reviws in! Would you please???
