Chapter four: Meetings

A/N: Thanks for the reviews and I think this fic is going quite well don't you? Anyway here's the next chapter: Meetings.

Eli's mansion. . .

Silence. . . everyone who even had the slightest idea about magic in Reedington was here in this room (A/N: Except for Shadow Scythe and Tori) and it was ghostly quiet. . . Eli had outlined what had happened the night before with the cloaked stranger to everyone who missed it which was comprised of. . . Li.

It was Kero who finely broke the silence "and where were you anyway last night while that guy was wiping the floor with us kid!?"

Without opening his eyes Li replied " I didn't sense anything wrong"

A now furious Kero flew in front of his face "HOW COULD YOU NOT SENSE ANYTHING THAT POWERFUL AND EVIL KID!?"

Li swatted Kero away like a fly and muttered "annoying stuffed animal"

Kero turned into Kerobearos and pounced on Li pinning him to the floor "WHAT DID YOU SAY KID!?"

Sakura stood up "KERO GET OFF OF LI RIGHT NOW!"

". . . I can take care of myself Sakura"

"What Li?"

"I said. . . I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF!"

Li smashed Kerobearos in the jaw knocking him off of Li and to the floor, Li stood up and looked down at the great guardian beast of the seal laying down on the floor.

"Pathetic" Li said.

"L-Li?"

Li turned around and looked at Sakura "what's wrong Sakura?"

Sakura slapped him round the face "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?"

Li shot an angry stare at Sakura, a glare so fierce it made her take a couple of baby steps back "back off"

He turned and left slamming the door behind him leaving everyone stunned.

He leant against the door smiling "how naive can they be?"

Shadow Scythe and Night Wolf appeared "master"

Li turned to them "yes"

"Kei has agreed to see you"

Li's smile turned to a grin "perfect"

Li walked over to Shadow Scythe and Night Wolf as a black mist engulfed them "soon Sakura. . . you shall know what is really happening"

They disappeared into the smoke without a sound nor a trace.

Kei's castle. . .

Kei grinned as Li, Shadow Scythe and Night Wolf appeared in front of her. She could feel the significant amount of power that Li now held, it was astonishing and frankly she was surprised that Eli hadn't sensed it as he was the reincarnation of Clow Reed.

She stood up "welcome, welcome to my castle Li Showron"

Not a single emotion crossed Li's expression "you must be Kei"

Kei stepped out of the darkness revealing a beautiful women "yes I am"

Kei was about 5 ½ feet tall, had long, straight, black hair that went down to the floor, she had a slim body and ruby red eyes. She took a few more steps towards Li.

"I assume that you wish to know why I am attacking the Clow mistress"

"You assume correctly"

She sighed "my, my, my where do I start?"

"How about starting with your full name?" Li said coldly.

Kei giggled "my aren't we impatient. . . my full name is Kei Nanbara Reed"

Li's expression remained cold "Reed?"

Kei nodded "yes I am related to Clow Reed. . . I was his niece"

"If you were his niece then how are you still here?" Li inquired.

She held up her hand showing him a silver ring "this ring is endowed with the power of time and as long as I wear it I will not age but. . . considering how long I have been alive if I take this off my body will turn to dust"

Unseen by Kei Li grinned evilly "really now lets get to the part of why you are attacking Sakura" "Since Clow had no one else to pass the cards onto I trained my powers for so long and so hard and-and just like that he just says he's going to pass them onto someone in future Japan named Sakura he blew off my chances of being somebody great like him just like that. . . after all of the training, the dedication he just took it all away just like that. . . and it was then that I plotted revenge against Clow and this girl he decided to pass the cards onto. . . he always seemed to care for me but he never did. . . I will prove to him that I was the one meant to receive the cards even if it the last thing I do" Kei said. "So this is a rather dry revenge eh?"

"I suppose you could call it that" Kei said.

*What a shameless woman* Li thought.

Reedington street. . .

Sakura skated along side Tori on their way to get some food, suddenly Tori stopped and glared at a person underneath a tree ahead of them wearing sunglasses.

"Who's he Tori?" Sakura asked.

"He's that new student in school Sakura" Tori answered.

Zuao Huan walked over to them smiling "hello there Tori and this must be Sakura"

Sakura took a step back *there is something very wrong about this guy*

"I'm your Li Showron's, your boyfriend if I'm not mistaken, cousin" he continued.

"Really well I'm pleased to meet you" Sakura said forcing a smile.

"Same here"

Kei's castle. . .

Kei watched the events of Li's fight against Sakura & co. at the Reedington shrine including him killing Hastusha.

Kei gritted her teeth "that prick"

"What did you call me?"

Kei looked up startled to see Li, Shadow Scythe and Night Wolf a few metres away from here "why did you do that to Hastusha!?"

Li grinned "you still haven't figured it out?"

Kei's eyes widened "oh my god. . . no. . . I WON'T LET YOU DO IT!!!!"

"Just try and stop me"

"I will. . . I will destroy YOU!"

She waved her hand and with puffs of smoke a bunch of Zombies appeared, they all wore golden armour and had black spears as weapons.

"Shadow Scythe, Night Wolf please take care of the undead while I deal with Kei" Li said calmly. "If you think your getting out of here alive Li think again" Kei said through gritted teeth.

Li drew his sword "we'll see about that"

Preview of next chapter. . .

It's a clash of the super powers in the next chapter, Kei and Li fight it out while Shadow Scythe and Night Wolf fight off Kei's Zombie army and decimate her castle. Kei's powers are great and is it even possible for Li to beat her? But Li's got a trick or two up his sleeve and he's bound to give Kei a run for her money. So when you have an all powerful Li and an angry Kei out for revenge what do you get? One hell of a fight and its all in chapter five: Clashes.
