From Last Time

Madison started to get scared as the person advanced towards her. A voice came out. "How is the plan going along?" With a sigh of relief she turned back the lights on. "Not so great." she replied.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The figure stepped in. Now with the lights on, Meilin can see Madison standing there with her pajamas on. She looked paler than usual. "What's wrong Madison?"

To tell you the truth, Meilin was afraid of Madison ever since their encounter in high school. It was at the time Li and Sakura had their little disagreement. She kept seeing Madison a lot during that time.

Their encounters and acquaintance was very weird. Their relationship wasn't based on a friendship. It was more of a desire. Their desire for Li stuck them together. Their desires differed though. Meilin only is obsessed with Li. He was her childhood infatuation. She only wanted his closeness....his acceptance. Madison, however, has a strong desire. Her desire was more of a need. Without Li, it was as if she could not live. That's how strong it was.

Recently, before Sakura and Madison decided to go to Hong Kong, Meilin and Madison agreed on helping each other to obtain Li. Of course Meilin is just using her in the beginning. She wanted Li all for herself. But later on, She knew she had thought wrong. Madison acting more and more scary and not to mention bossy and mean.

Then Madison took over her plans to get Li. The deal at the beginning was that Meilin gets to marry Li, and Madison can have him before if she was able to hook Li up with Meilin afterwards. This explains why Madison was hitting on Li without any hesitation.

Then things got weird. Magic came into play. Madison was always into it after their pact. She was always plotting too. Though Meilin did not know what she was thinking, she could only comply. She wouldn't dare ask questions. This also explains the magic box. Which just turned out to be fake, or so she thought.

Now her wedding was coming up in only a few hours. She knew Madison was planning something. What if she messes things up? Ooo, I'm so worried now. There's no telling what she would do. Last but least, Madison actually told her why she wanted Li. That was what really scared her.

During that time when Madison was with Li. They did a lot of lip locking. Though Li was trying to forget things, Madison however was stealing his soul, literally. Somehow during the so- called kiss, Madison sucked his life force out each time.

She also told Meilin why too. She claims that she is a spirit locked in that box. Some poor guy found it and released her. She invaded Madison when she found out she could be close to Li.

Once she can steal enough life force from him, she would return him to Meilin and makes sure she gets him. Well only Meilin is foolish enough to do anything for Li. But when Li had gone back with Sakura, then left for Hong Kong, Madison, rather that spirit, tolerated it by planning for this day, Meilin's wedding day. She knew it was coming, and that it was destined to be.

What has she got planned? "Meilin, dear..you should go to sleep..you have a big day ahead of you." Hehe..only a few more hours until I can regain my full power.

Li couldn't sleep. He was going to have to face Meilin soon at their wedding. He doesn't want to, he wants to be with Sakura. Every time he tries, he couldn't get over her. It was some sort a connection. He got up and decided to check up on her.

He peeped into her room and saw that she was sound asleep. She was on her side. He noticed something sticking out of her pillow. It looked like paper. He moved closer and carefully took it out. Shuffling through it, he noticed that it was poems Sakura wrote.

He quickly left her room and dashed to his own. He switched on the lights and eagerly began to read it. He grabbed a comfy seat and began:

I'm missing you.

Missing you so much

That I forgot why I miss you.

I think it was the way you smiled,

The way you laughed at everything,

The way your lips curved just the right way when you were sad.

Maybe it was all that you did

Without placing a value on it

Without questioning it's worth

Without wanting something in return.

It could've easily been your appearance,

You're easy way of making things better,

Or the genius you don't realize you are.

I'm not sure why your pictures make me cry,

Or the memory of your voice makes me tremble,

Or why the thought of you constantly reminds me I'm missing part of my soul.

My memory is trying to forget,

My soul's trying to complete itself,

My eyes just want to stay dry.

But I always have to start over again when my memory remembers:

I miss you because I loved you.

Then he was already touched deeply. Wait a sec, what if this isn't about me? Oh well keep reading!

My eyes have seen the world over.

Again and again I've cried.

For knowing you had come to pass

And loving you would be a bitter lie.

My heart has seen your tranquil eyes,

As they had quickly glanced at me.

Your devilish ways were hidden well

Behind your generic meek remorse.

While loving you is a fond memory

And holding you is just a forgotten thought,

My feeble attempts to make your lips

Feel the virginity of my tenderness,

Have made you turned away

And erase me from your existence.

My hands have felt your beating heart,

Beating with a barbaric passion

For a sadist torture carefully plotted out

To make knowing you worse

And loving you hurt more

Than a bullet through my soul.

So now that I can no longer see,

Nor hear, nor smell, nor feel,

Where do I go with my childish fears?

Of falling in love with you

When I'm already eternally bound

To the structure of your heart?

Then he went to the last one: Love

-A savage beast

That rips your heart out,

Takes over your mind,

Makes you believe in tomorrow

And forget yesterday's torments.

The sadness of it all

-When it fails you.

Love

-An unfortunate miscreant

That refuses to leave

Without the last hurtful word

Or the last tortured glance

It is blissfully agonizing

-Just wish it was a concussion.

Love

-How do you forget?

-How do you blot it out?

The hateful memories?

The one's you'll miss most?

-Don't you wish you could rewrite the history of love?

Love

The one thing you'd kill to have

But die to forget...

Love = Li

Okay, now I know this was about me. Sheesh..I really have to make this up to Sakura. I'll do anything for her. With this new knowledge, I know what she really is going through. My pain was nothing compared to hers.

Love me again Sakura, if you can find it in your heart to do so........
