Those of the Past Awake in the Present

Ch.4 Learn
Running around what seemed, to Meilin, to be a circle she stopped at a corner store. Damn it! At first it was just strait ahead but no. Now it seems to be leading toward the south side of the city. What was going on! Sighing Meilin held out her hands in front of her. A ball of light emitted out of it, glowing dimly.
"When one has gone astray,
Please come upon its way,
Drifting in and out,
Please show its rightful route"
The ball of light started to beat in and out. Then all of a sudden a line of light from the ball reached out toward the south end of the forest. Grinning Meilin ran next to the line, towards the source of the magic. It had tried to trick her, but she didn't fall for it.
Upon entering the forest, Meilin could feel the atmosphere change, it was heavy, thick, she could almost taste the magic around her. The source of this magic was near and since it wasn't hiding its powers, Sakura and Syaoran will be here shortly. She didn't want them walking in on her so she has to finish this off quickly.
"I know you're here. Show yourself." Meilin called out.
"He he. So you're the one, the one known across the worlds as the Kimiyo." a voice replied.
"Why don't you just come out and face me?"
"Ok." And out the voice keeper came but it was such a surprise. Right in front of Meilin was nothing but a child, she looked no older than 10. She had bright red hair that was cut short, just above her shoulders, with very distinct clothing. "Hello!"
The little girl looked at Meilin and grinned. "You look exactly like they say, in the story. But aren't you suppose to be older? OH wait that's right you were Re-born! I forgot! Oh I cant wait to show you to Great Gramps! He says he knew you a long time ago…"
"You're- You're the owner of this magic?"
"Yup that I am!" with a snap of her fingers the magic seemed to disappear from around them. "I have come to ask you-"
"No." Meilin said as she shook her head.
"But you don't know what I'm going to ask!"
"I do… believe me I do, and my answer is no. I'm sorry."
"What? How come? I don't- Fine this is the last time I'm going to ask. The next time we meet I'll force you." the young girl growled out of frustration.
"Fine."
The girl stared at her in confusion.
"Why," she asked shaking her head, "Why do you want to stay here, on this world where people have wronged you. Shouldn't you hate them? Shouldn't you wish to leave maybe even want to destroy this world? I don't understand. Across the worlds they tell the story of what happened to you, and yet you still…"
Meilin smiled sadly, "Yes people have wronged me but still…still there are people here that I care for." Meilin added walking over and embracing her, "And memories I hold very deeply. You'll understand, in time you will."
"There will be others you know. They will come and try to take you."
"I know. Let them come. Hey It'll give me a good work out." Meilin joked. The little girl laughed.
"What's your name now anyways?"
"Its almost the same, its Meilin. What's yours?"
"Its Azul. I want stay here, just for a little while. Maybe I can understand this bond you have with this world."
"You should. This is a very good place to be."
They both stayed like that, just gazing up at the stars. But as she did so Meilin couldn't help but wonder if some of those stars were sending people down to take her. Would she ever decided to just go with one of them one day? Taking her away from those thoughts Azul spoke up.
"Well I better get back, my sister must be worrying about me. I'll see you around," With that she disappeared into the forest.
With a sigh Meilin stood up. "What do you want?"
"Not all of them are going to be like that. Some are really going to force their hands to take you."
"Don't you think I know that Eirol," She sneered.
Sighing he ran his hand through his hair. "Look I didn't come to fight."
"Then what did you come for?"
"I- I…" Why did he follow her for? Was it because he was worried? Or maybe to repent? Shaking his head he looked up at her. She always had the ability to ever since he could remember her; make him nervous. "Look what happened in the past-"
Meilin didn't want to hear it, not now anyways.
"You were wrong." she stated and walked away, leaving him alone.
Perhaps… maybe, no" he sighed, "no you're right. I was wrong." He was wrong; for what he and the Elders tried to stop from happening, did at the end, ended up happening. Sighing once more he walked off in the opposite direction. They would see each other at school tomorrow, and maybe then he could apologize to her. Maybe it was just wishful thinking but…
Maybe in this life he can fix what he did in his other.
Maybe in this life, he can be forgiven.
Maybe in this life he wont have to regret his actions.
Maybe… Just maybe… things could be different.
