Chapter Four
Cards captured!!
"Why don't we go inside? I'll fix you something to eat," Kenshin offered as he walked inside the fence, walking towards the steps of the shrine.
"Yes, that would be great!" Meilin quickly accepted the offer, she was hungrier than she had realized. Meilin began to walk towards the big shrine when she felt a chill.
"What was that?" Meilin asked herself.
"Good, then you felt it too," Pkero said, her head popping out of the book bag once more, "A Moon Card, one must be nearby. We better get ready it could pop out at any moment."
Pkero crawled back into the book bag. Meilin nodded her head in agreement, and began to walk up the stairs to the big shrine. Kenshin was waiting for her, he slid the door open when she had reach the top of the stairs, and followed her once she walked inside.
Kenshin closed the door behind them once had gotten inside the house, he watch Meilin suspiciously while she looked around the room.
'This place is huge!' Meilin thought, 'it's bigger than me and Li's mansion!'
"So how do you like this place?" Kenshin asked he was standing next to a table pouring some tea.
"It's beautiful," Meilin complimented.
"Thank you," Kenshin replied as he walked over and handed Meilin a cup of tea. He sat down in front of a table and motioned her to come sit with him.
Meilin gulped down her worries and sat across from him at the table. Meilin took a sip of her tea and looked up at warrior.
"So, you own this house?" Meilin managed to get out.
"No, I don't," Kenshin said without any tone in his voice, "I don't believe you ever gave me your name," Kenshin said as he put down his cup of tea.
"Oh yeah, my name is Meilin," Meilin answered. 'Why do I feel like he doesn't trust me?' Meilin thought to herself. "So, um, what's yours?"
"My name is Himura Kenshin," Kenshin looked at Meilin with suspicious eyes, "Now you said your were on your way to visit your cousin right?" he asked distrustfully.
Meilin nodded, "Yes, I told you that while we were walking here."
"Yes, I remember. I have another question for you," Kenshin got up and walked to the window, "how can a girl of your size take on men triple times your magnitude?"
"Well, I've been trained in the martial arts, since I was four years old," Meilin began to get real nervous, "Um, why?"
"It just seems a little odd how a small girl can posses so much power," Kenshin looked out the window, "It's also odd how strange things have been appearing and disappearing here, while you are trying to get to a city no one has heard of."
Meilin stood up, "What do you mean?"
Kenshin turned around with a serious look on his face, "You know what I mean!" He pointed at her.
Meilin took a step back, "What? No, I don't understand!"
"There is no city named Osaka in Japan!" Kenshin's hand went to the side of his waist as if to get something.
'Oh great, I forgot Osaka didn't come to be until the 1900s. Of course now I remember all my history when I have the world's greatest swordsman ready to slice and dice me,' Meilin thought gulping down her fear.
"Listen I don't know what you mean by things disappearing and reappearing but I'll tell you this, I had nothing to do with it!" Meilin got in her fighting stance. 'Great, just great now I'm about to get into another fight!"
Kenshin pulled out his reversed blade sword, Sakabatou, and positioned it in his hands, "So you have nothing to do with it?"
Meilin gulped harder, hoping he didn't hear her, "No, I don't. I don't really even know what you're talking about!"
Kenshin waved his sword back in forth, "The lady who had gotten me earlier told me something else when she asked for help. She said something about a pink flying rat coming at her saying 'die'! You had nothing to do with that? You mean at the same time you were rescuing her something just happened to appear and try to kill her?"
"That wasn't a pink rat!" Meilin argued.
Kenshin raised his left eyebrow, "So you do know something?"
"Well, yeah, sort of. It wasn't a pink rat it was a flying stuffed animal and what she had said was 'HI' not 'die' we were trying to get her away from those bad men, and we don't know anything about things disappearing and appearing! If you would just put your sword away, I'll explain everything!"
Kenshin looked at her skeptically for a moment and then slid his sword back into it's sheathe.
"So basically your saying, that you and a stuffed animal were just helping people you don't even know out?"
Just then Pkero popped out of Meilin's bag that was lying on the ground and screamed out, "I'M NOT A STUFFED ANIMAL, I AM PKEROBEROUS GAURDIAN OF THE MOON CARDS! NOT A FLYING RAT OR A STUFFED ANIMAL!!!!"
Meilin and Kenshin both got a huge sweat drop.
Kenshin pointed at Pkero and asked, "Was that the stuffed animal you were talking about earlier?"
Pkero shot a glare at Kenshin, Kenshin just stared back wide-eyed.
"You say 'stuff animal' again and you'll only have nine fingers!!" Pkero snapped.
Kenshin pulled back his finger and took two steps back from Pkero, "So um, what are Moon Cards and where do you actually come from?"
"Now look what you did Pkero!! You told him, and you thought I was going to mess things up!!" Meilin angrily yelled at Pkero.
"Well, if you didn't call me 'stuffed animal' I wouldn't have lost my temper!" Pkero snapped back.
Kenshin sat down at the table and watched the young raven-haired girl argue with a flying stuffed animal. The bickering continued for a couple of minutes until Kenshin interrupted, "Why don't we all talk about this over some dinner."
Kenshin got up from the table as he saw the two sit down at the table glaring at each other, "I'll be in the kitchen, which is down the hall, if you need me," then Kenshin walked out the room.
"So should we tell him what we are here for?" Meilin asked Pkero.
"Well there isn't any other choice. But what did he mean earlier when he said there were disappearings and reappearings?" Pkero asked.
Meilin shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know, do you think it might be a work of a Moon Card?"
"It might be," Pkero said thinking.
Kenshin walked back into the room and sat down at the table and looked at the two strangers in his home, or at least that was what he called it.
Kenshin looked at Meilin and said, "The food will be ready in thirty minutes or so,"
"That's alright," Meilin looked over to Pkero who nodded towards her, "Kenshin, I have a question for you,"
"Yes, what is it?"
"What did you mean, about things appearing and disappearing?"
"Well, strange things have been happening, here in Tokyo,"
"Like what, Kenshin?" Pkero jumped up interrupting Meilin and Kenshin.
"Well, uh, what's your name again?" Kenshin asked scratching his head.
Pkero did an anime fall, "It's PKERO!"
"Oh right, well Pkero, people have been disappearing around here, even my friends disappeared that's why I was so suspicious of you earlier Meilin. And I apologize," Kenshin said apologetic as he bowed his head a little.
"It's alright, so your friends are gone?" Meilin asked, "You don't know what happened to them?"
Kenshin shook his head, "And what I meant with things appearing, I meant like strange beasts."
Pkero floated towards Kenshin, "What do you mean by strange beasts?"
Kenshin blinked strangely, "Well when I helped you today Meilin, I called upon this beast and it flies me to wherever I need to go. And there is this little girl that rides on top of it that shoots arrows, she helps me when I'm chasing someone, but it's odd because she doesn't talk at all."
"THE FLY and THE ARROW?!" Pkero and Meilin said in unison.
"The beast you called upon is called The Fly and the little girl is called The Arrow," Pkero told Kenshin, "How do you call upon it?"
"The Fly? The Arrow? That's their names? Well I'll show you. We better go outside for this," Kenshin motioned getting up.
Kenshin slid the door open, Meilin and Pkero followed behind Kenshin.
"Do you want me to call on it now?" Kenshin turned around and asked Pkero.
"No, wait a second. Meilin get the wand out!" Pkero ordered her.
Meilin nodded, "Finally some REAL action," Meilin pulled her moon necklace from around her neck, "Elements of the Universe, That go near and far, Release the wand with the power of the Planets, moons, and stars, This by Meilin commands.RELEASE!"
Meilin grabbed the Moon Wand from the bright white light, "Okay Pkero I'm ready!"
Kenshin stepped back, "What was that?"
Pkero glared at Kenshin, "We will explain later what we need you to do is to call upon that beast!"
Kenshin nodded and looked at the sky and yelled, "I wish I could fly!!"
Pkero and Meilin did an anime fall, Pkero got up and yelled, "That's how you call upon the Fly?"
"Well, that's how I first met it, before my friends disappeared. My friend Sanosuke, and I were looking for someone, I had said 'I wish I could fly and shoot this person down from harming people,' and this light appeared and the creature had appeared," Kenshin explained.
"Well maybe ." Pkero couldn't finish her sentence. A loud screech had pierced the air.
The three looked up in the air, a large bird filled the evening sky. It started to land; it was about two feet above ground before it noticed Meilin and Pkero. It shrieked, and began to fly up again.
"It spotted us!" Pkero yelled to Meilin.
"What? What do you mean?" Meilin asked yelling back.
"It knows we are here to capture it!" Pkero floated towards Meilin. The Fly started to fly away in the other direction.
"Quickly before it gets away, grab it!" Pkero ordered. Meilin nodded, and began to run after The Fly. Pkero flew after Meilin, Kenshin stood there confused as he watched them go after the huge bird. Meilin grabbed a hold onto The Fly's tail, The Fly felt this and flew higher into the sky.
"AAHHH," Meilin began to scream.
"You've got to get on top of it and then capture it!" Pkero said as she flew right next to Meilin who was holding on for her life.
"Well for your information, I'm trying to live!" Meilin said angrily. She got a good grasp on the bird's tail and then began to crawl onto the bird's back. The Fly felt this and began to shake furiously.
Meilin stood on top of The Fly, "Now what should I do?" Meilin asked Pkero. Just then something shot past Meilin's face, "What was that?!"
"Look," Pkero pointed to a young girl with a strange outfit. She was aiming her arrow towards Meilin. She shot her arrow again, Meilin ducked.
"Use the Windy to capture it!" Pkero yelled as she landed on The Fly next to Meilin.
"Can't we use Windy to capture them both?" Meilin asked, as she looked at Arrow who was about to shoot another arrow.
Pkero thought it for a moment, "Now that's an idea! Go ahead!"
Meilin nodded, she reached for the Windy in her Card Pouch Sailor Pluto had given her. Then she realized she had left it in her book bag at Kenshin's house!
"Pkero I left the card pouch at Kenshin's place!" Meilin yelled scared.
The Arrow shot another arrow at Meilin, she moved to a side a little the arrow pierced through her arm a little bit.
"FOCUS!!" Pkero yelled, "If you focus, the card you desire will appear in your hands!!"
Arrow started to aim another arrow, while Fly started to fly in 'figure eights'!
Meilin closed her eyes and thought, 'Focus. Please Windy, I need your help,' Meilin felt something warm in her hand, she looked at her hand and saw something glowing. 'It worked!' she thought happily.
Meilin threw the card in front of her and yelled, "Windy, release and dispel!" Meilin hit the card with her staff, magic flowed from the card and Windy's visual form appeared. It started to wrap itself around The Fly and The Arrow.
Meilin stood up and began commanded, "Arrow Card and Fly Card return to thy true forms!!" Meilin used her wand and hit a magical sign that looked like a Moon. Magic started to circle around her.
The magic cleared and the two cards floated into Meilin's hands, "Wow, I did," Just then Meilin looked down and realized she was still in the air!
Meilin looked up and said, "Uh-oh, AAAHHHH!!!!" She began to fall down towards the Earth.
Pkero flew down with Meilin and yelled, "Well, aren't you going to use the fly?!"
Meilin nodded, while screaming and threw the Fly below her and yelled, "Fly, release and dispel!!"
Magic encircled Meilin going in every which way. When Meilin opened her eyes she was on top of her wand, which grew wings on the end where the moon was.
(Author's Note: Sorry, just coming out of writer's block couldn't think of another way to make the Fly look.)
"Wow, I'm flying!!" Meilin said in excitement.
Pkero flew up to Meilin and said to her, "That was great Meilin! Now you can fly and I don't have to wait for your lazy tail taking so long walking!" Pkero had a huge grin on her face.
"If you were a card I would torture you before I would capture you," Meilin said un-amused by Pkero's sense of humor.
"Well it's not my fault that you take so long walking!" Pkero said floating on Meilin's shoulder.
Meilin began to fly towards Kenshin's house, "I don't take long, you just fly too fast!"
"There's Kenshin's house!" Pkero pointed, changing the subject before they get into another argument. Meilin flew down towards the house and softly landed in front of Kenshin's house. Meilin got off her wand and the wings disappeared from the wand.
"Where's Kenshin?" Pkero asked flying off Meilin's shoulder.
"I don't know," Meilin replied looking around. Pkero flew inside the house with Meilin following her. They looked around the room, "Kenshin!" Meilin called out. Pkero went out of room to look around the house.
"He's not anywhere in the house Meilin!" Pkero informed Meilin flying up to her.
"Where could he be?" Meilin asked aloud.
"Let's go look in the yard!" Pkero said as she flew out the door, and into the yard with Meilin following her.
Meilin looked around, "Pkero where did you go?!"
Pkero flew out behind some bushes, "Do you feel that?"
"What?" Meilin asked.
"Shush! Don't you feel the Moon Card?" Pkero asked.
Meilin became silent for a moment, she felt a slight shiver go up and down her spine, "Yes I do, but barely." Meilin turned her attention back to Pkero, but what she saw was a transparent Pkero!!
"Ah! Pkero your disappearing!!" Meilin pointed at Pkero's lower body.
"This must be the work of the Erase card!" Pkero explained.
"But why are you disappearing?! You have magic! You shouldn't disappear!" Meilin ran towards Pkero.
"Yes, I do have Magic but not my full power. The Erase card goes after beings with significant power! That explains why Kenshin and his friends are missing! We have to find the Erase Card!" Pkero explained.
"Where should we look first?" Meilin asked.
"I don't know," Pkero answered honestly.
"Well, where did you start disappearing at?" Meilin asked.
"Now that's a good question," Pkero said, "Follow me!"
"I hope I still can, if I can see you," Meilin said. With her wand in hand, she began following Pkero past some trees and bushes.
"Right over here," Pkero said pointing towards a well.
Meilin walked over towards the well, "Why would you even think that Kenshin would be in a well?"
"WELL, at least I was looking for him!" Pkero angrily argued back.
"So was I!" Meilin fussed back, Meilin bit her lip as she saw Pkero becoming more transparent "Pkero you're starting to disappear!"
"The card is near! You must capture." Pkero vanished before she was able to finish her statement.
Meilin began to get scared, "What if I disappear? Then they'll need someone else to capture the card! What if they chose Sakura?" Meilin shook her head, "No! I have to capture the card, it's not Sakura's job it's mine!"
Meilin stood ready, "Erase card, show me your true form!" Nothing happened, "Great, now what am I going to do?" Meilin looked over to the well, "That's it! The card must be in the Well!" Meilin quickly ran over to the well, lifted her wand, and shouted, "Erase card, return to thy true form!" She swung her wand down and a magical mist appeared, surrounding her. After the mist had died down, a card floated in front of Meilin.
"I captured it!!" Meilin exclaimed. Meilin looked and examined the card, "Why do the Moon cards look exactly like the Clow ones?"
"Because they were made in their form," Pkero said popping out of the well. Meilin screamed and fell back. Pkero floated over top of Meilin, Meilin grabbed Pkero's body and pulled her towards her face.
"Didn't I tell you not to pop out like that?" Meilin asked.
"Can't.breathe," Pkero stuttered out. Meilin let her go. "You should, be ecstatic to see me, not try to squeeze me to death!" Pkero shouted at her.
Meilin stood up and dusted herself off, "I am, you just scared me that's all. What about Kenshin and his friends? Are they alright? We better go check!" Meilin turned around and began to run toward the dojo.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I'm very sorry for such a short chapter but I am getting there to a point where I'll will have a lot more time to type and other stuff, I'm about to get a job so please bear with me. I'm going to try and type two chapters and post them up during spring break, I didn't really try to put another chapter up on this story because of only 30 reviews, but anyway, you guys might change your minds on who you want Meilin to be with. In the two chapters that I WILL have up by Spring Break will be long just a warning! Sorry again, I'm a popular girl in my school unlike MANY Anime Otaku! Especially the ones at my school who are soo totally dorky and have no life. But anyway g2g, I need to do at least five problems of my homework.
Chapter Four
Cards captured!!
"Why don't we go inside? I'll fix you something to eat," Kenshin offered as he walked inside the fence, walking towards the steps of the shrine.
"Yes, that would be great!" Meilin quickly accepted the offer, she was hungrier than she had realized. Meilin began to walk towards the big shrine when she felt a chill.
"What was that?" Meilin asked herself.
"Good, then you felt it too," Pkero said, her head popping out of the book bag once more, "A Moon Card, one must be nearby. We better get ready it could pop out at any moment."
Pkero crawled back into the book bag. Meilin nodded her head in agreement, and began to walk up the stairs to the big shrine. Kenshin was waiting for her, he slid the door open when she had reach the top of the stairs, and followed her once she walked inside.
Kenshin closed the door behind them once had gotten inside the house, he watch Meilin suspiciously while she looked around the room.

"So how do you like this place?" Kenshin asked he was standing next to a table pouring some tea.
"It's beautiful," Meilin complimented.
"Thank you," Kenshin replied as he walked over and handed Meilin a cup of tea. He sat down in front of a table and motioned her to come sit with him.
Meilin gulped down her worries and sat across from him at the table. Meilin took a sip of her tea and looked up at warrior.
"So, you own this house?" Meilin managed to get out.
"No, I don't," Kenshin said without any tone in his voice, "I don't believe you ever gave me your name," Kenshin said as he put down his cup of tea.
"Oh yeah, my name is Meilin," Meilin answered. 'Why do I feel like he doesn't trust me?' Meilin thought to herself. "So, um, what's yours?"
"My name is Himura Kenshin," Kenshin looked at Meilin with suspicious eyes, "Now you said your were on your way to visit your cousin right?" he asked distrustfully.

Kenshin looked at her skeptically for a moment and then slid his sword back into it's sheathe.
"So basically your saying, that you and a stuffed animal were just helping people you don't even know out?"
Just then Pkero popped out of Meilin's bag that was lying on the ground and screamed out, "I'M NOT A STUFFED ANIMAL, I AM PKEROBEROUS GAURDIAN OF THE MOON CARDS! NOT A FLYING RAT OR A STUFFED ANIMAL!!!!"
Meilin and Kenshin both got a huge sweat drop.
Kenshin pointed at Pkero and asked, "Was that the stuffed animal you were talking about earlier?"
Pkero shot a glare at Kenshin, Kenshin just stared back wide-eyed.
"You say 'stuff animal' again and you'll only have nine fingers!!" Pkero snapped.
Kenshin pulled back his finger and took two steps back from Pkero, "So um, what are Moon Cards and where do you actually come from?"
"Now look what you did Pkero!! You told him, and you thought I was going to mess things up!!" Meilin angrily yelled at Pkero.

Kenshin looked at Meilin and said, "The food will be ready in thirty minutes or so,"
"That's alright," Meilin looked over to Pkero who nodded towards her, "Kenshin, I have a question for you,"
"Yes, what is it?"
"What did you mean, about things appearing and disappearing?"
"Well, strange things have been happening, here in Tokyo,"
"Like what, Kenshin?" Pkero jumped up interrupting Meilin and Kenshin.
"Well, uh, what's your name again?" Kenshin asked scratching his head.
Pkero did an anime fall, "It's PKERO!"
"Oh right, well Pkero, people have been disappearing around here, even my friends disappeared that's why I was so suspicious of you earlier Meilin. And I apologize," Kenshin said apologetic as he bowed his head a little.
"It's alright, so your friends are gone?" Meilin asked, "You don't know what happened to them?"
Kenshin shook his head, "And what I meant with things appearing, I meant like strange beasts."
Pkero floated towards Kenshin, "What do you mean by strange beasts?"
Kenshin blinked strangely, "Well when I helped you today Meilin, I called upon this beast and it flies me to wherever I need to go. And there is this little girl that rides on top of it that shoots arrows, she helps me when I'm chasing someone, but it's odd because she doesn't talk at all."
"THE FLY and THE ARROW?!" Pkero and Meilin said in unison.
"The beast you called upon is called The Fly and the little girl is called The Arrow," Pkero told Kenshin, "How do you call upon it?"
"The Fly? The Arrow? That's their names? Well I'll show you. We better go outside for this," Kenshin motioned getting up.
Kenshin slid the door open, Meilin and Pkero followed behind Kenshin.
"Do you want me to call on it now?" Kenshin turned around and asked Pkero.
"No, wait a second. Meilin get the wand out!" Pkero ordered her.

Meilin stood on top of The Fly, "Now what should I do?" Meilin asked Pkero. Just then something shot past Meilin's face, "What was that?!"
"Look," Pkero pointed to a young girl with a strange outfit. She was aiming her arrow towards Meilin. She shot her arrow again, Meilin ducked.
"Use the Windy to capture it!" Pkero yelled as she landed on The Fly next to Meilin.
"Can't we use Windy to capture them both?" Meilin asked, as she looked at Arrow who was about to shoot another arrow.
Pkero thought it for a moment, "Now that's an idea! Go ahead!"
Meilin nodded, she reached for the Windy in her Card Pouch Sailor Pluto had given her. Then she realized she had left it in her book bag at Kenshin's house!
"Pkero I left the card pouch at Kenshin's place!" Meilin yelled scared.
The Arrow shot another arrow at Meilin, she moved to a side a little the arrow pierced through her arm a little bit.
"FOCUS!!" Pkero yelled, "If you focus, the card you desire will appear in your hands!!"
Arrow started to aim another arrow, while Fly started to fly in 'figure eights'!
Meilin closed her eyes and thought, 'Focus. Please Windy, I need your help,' Meilin felt something warm in her hand, she looked at her hand and saw something glowing. 'It worked!' she thought happily.
Meilin threw the card in front of her and yelled, "Windy, release and dispel!" Meilin hit the card with her staff, magic flowed from the card and Windy's visual form appeared. It started to wrap itself around The Fly and The Arrow.
Meilin stood up and began commanded, "Arrow Card and Fly Card return to thy true forms!!" Meilin used her wand and hit a magical sign that looked like a Moon. Magic started to circle around her.
The magic cleared and the two cards floated into Meilin's hands, "Wow, I did," Just then Meilin looked down and realized she was still in the air!
Meilin looked up and said, "Uh-oh, AAAHHHH!!!!" She began to fall down towards the Earth.
Pkero flew down with Meilin and yelled, "Well, aren't you going to use the fly?!"
Meilin nodded, while screaming and threw the Fly below her and yelled, "Fly, release and dispel!!"
Magic encircled Meilin going in every which way. When Meilin opened her eyes she was on top of her wand, which grew wings on the end where the moon was.
(Author's Note: Sorry, just coming out of writer's block couldn't think of another way to make the Fly look.)

"Well it's not my fault that you take so long walking!" Pkero said floating on Meilin's shoulder.
Meilin began to fly towards Kenshin's house, "I don't take long, you just fly too fast!"
"There's Kenshin's house!" Pkero pointed, changing the subject before they get into another argument. Meilin flew down towards the house and softly landed in front of Kenshin's house. Meilin got off her wand and the wings disappeared from the wand.
"Where's Kenshin?" Pkero asked flying off Meilin's shoulder.
"I don't know," Meilin replied looking around. Pkero flew inside the house with Meilin following her. They looked around the room, "Kenshin!" Meilin called out. Pkero went out of room to look around the house.
"He's not anywhere in the house Meilin!" Pkero informed Meilin flying up to her.
"Where could he be?" Meilin asked aloud.
"Let's go look in the yard!" Pkero said as she flew out the door, and into the yard with Meilin following her.
Meilin looked around, "Pkero where did you go?!"
Pkero flew out behind some bushes, "Do you feel that?"
"What?" Meilin asked.
"Shush! Don't you feel the Moon Card?" Pkero asked.
Meilin became silent for a moment, she felt a slight shiver go up and down her spine, "Yes I do, but barely." Meilin turned her attention back to Pkero, but what she saw was a transparent Pkero!!
"Ah! Pkero your disappearing!!" Meilin pointed at Pkero's lower body.
"This must be the work of the Erase card!" Pkero explained.
"But why are you disappearing?! You have magic! You shouldn't disappear!" Meilin ran towards Pkero.
"Yes, I do have Magic but not my full power. The Erase card goes after beings with significant power! That explains why Kenshin and his friends are missing! We have to find the Erase Card!" Pkero explained.
"Where should we look first?" Meilin asked.
"I don't know," Pkero answered honestly.
"Well, where did you start disappearing at?" Meilin asked.
"Now that's a good question," Pkero said, "Follow me!"
"I hope I still can, if I can see you," Meilin said. With her wand in hand, she began following Pkero past some trees and bushes.
"Right over here," Pkero said pointing towards a well.
Meilin walked over towards the well, "Why would you even think that Kenshin would be in a well?"
"WELL, at least I was looking for him!" Pkero angrily argued back.
"So was I!" Meilin fussed back, Meilin bit her lip as she saw Pkero becoming more transparent "Pkero you're starting to disappear!"
"The card is near! You must capture." Pkero vanished before she was able to finish her statement.
Meilin began to get scared, "What if I disappear? Then they'll need someone else to capture the card! What if they chose Sakura?" Meilin shook her head, "No! I have to capture the card, it's not Sakura's job it's mine!"
Meilin stood ready, "Erase card, show me your true form!" Nothing happened, "Great, now what am I going to do?" Meilin looked over to the well, "That's it! The card must be in the Well!" Meilin quickly ran over to the well, lifted her wand, and shouted, "Erase card, return to thy true form!" She swung her wand down and a magical mist appeared, surrounding her. After the mist had died down, a card floated in front of Meilin.
"I captured it!!" Meilin exclaimed. Meilin looked and examined the card, "Why do the Moon cards look exactly like the Clow ones?"
"Because they were made in their form," Pkero said popping out of the well. Meilin screamed and fell back. Pkero floated over top of Meilin, Meilin grabbed Pkero's body and pulled her towards her face.
"Didn't I tell you not to pop out like that?" Meilin asked.
"Can't.breathe," Pkero stuttered out. Meilin let her go. "You should, be ecstatic to see me, not try to squeeze me to death!" Pkero shouted at her.
Meilin stood up and dusted herself off, "I am, you just scared me that's all. What about Kenshin and his friends? Are they alright? We better go check!" Meilin turned around and began to run toward the dojo.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I'm very sorry for such a short chapter but I am getting there to a point where I'll will have a lot more time to type and other stuff, I'm about to get a job so please bear with me. I'm going to try and type two chapters and post them up during spring break, I didn't really try to put another chapter up on this story because of only 30 reviews, but anyway, you guys might change your minds on who you want Meilin to be with. In the two chapters that I WILL have up by Spring Break will be long just a warning! Sorry again, I'm a popular girl in my school unlike MANY Anime Otaku! Especially the ones at my school who are soo totally dorky and have no life. But anyway g2g, I need to do at least five problems of my homework.
