Destined to be together

"That's what caused it all? The failure of a magic test?" said the surprised Sakura.

Meiling was looking sadly across the water.

"It was just that…It was more… My mother wanted me to become powerful in magic...And yet I've failed her…." Meiling said sadly.

Li looked shocked at the revelation.

"That's why… That's why you were trying so hard to past mother's magic test. But you don't have to! Just believe in yourself. Mum says the magic is believing in yourself." said Li sadly.

Meiling glared at Li.

"What do you, O wise leader of the Li clan?" she said angrily.

Li shut his mouth and walked away from Meiling.

Meiling looked angry and shouted, "YOU THINK YOU'RE SO PERFECT. HUH! HUH!"

Sakura and Li looked aghast. Meiling now in her hand was a silver ball. She smiled and threw it at Sakura.

"NOOO!" shouted Li, he jumped in front of the silver ball.

"Tut. Tut… Doing this for your fiancée?" asked Meiling.

Sakura gasped in shock.

"I'm not without sources you know. I have the shadow world in my command." Meiling said.

Sakura looked down then she was deep in thought.

All it takes is look into the heart… said a voice in her mind.

Sakura jerked her head in surprise. There was no one there.

Show her what she is now.. said the voice.

How? she asked through the mind

Show her…Create a mirror…said the voice.

Sakura jerked up her head and pulled out the Mirror card.

I can't do this! It just shows her who she looks like now! she thought panicky.

Try combining two cards at once…said the voice.

Sakura took out another card. The time card. Will this work? She thought to herself.

"What are you doing?" shouted Meiling. "FIGHT!"

Meiling sent two silver balls at her at once. Sakura screamed and ducked in time.

"Next time! You are not so lucky!" said Meiling. She drew up two more silver balls.

"MEILING! STOP!" shouted Sakura.

Meiling looked at her in shock.

"Is this who you really want to be?" asked Sakura.

Meiling just looked puzzled then smirked, "Of COURSE! This is who I want to be!"

"Really?" asked Sakura.

Meiling just smirked and nodded her head.

"Well…I'll show you who you are now…" whispered Sakura.

Meiling just snorted in disbelief.

"As if…Sakura! What's going to do? Make me sad?" she said mockingly.

Sakura's face was set in determination. This was going to require more magic than the usual. She drew out the mirror and time card. She silently said a pray for it to work. Then she was ready.

"Time show her what did Meiling did in her past up to now! Mirror her image and the time together! MIRROR! TIME!" Sakura shouted.

Two cards was infused together for a minute while all the images came to life. The Mirror was showing of what Meiling did. The Evil Meiling that is. Meiling was staring at the mirror in disbelief. Then there was choking sounds coming out of her mouth and then she sank into the ground.

"I…didn't mean it to happen like that!" she said as she was sobbing.

Sakura looked sympathetic at Meiling.

"I..I…only wanted to show Aunt Yelan that…that…I could be strong in magic…I didn't want to be notorious!" she said sadly.

Sakura went to Meiling and knelt near her.

"It's ok…If you don't have magic it's ok." said Sakura

Meiling shook her head.

"It's not… not according to Aunt Yelan!" Meiling shook her head.

Sakura smiled and said, "You can unfreeze Li and then he'll tell you…"

Meiling nodded and with a flash of her fingers she unfroze Li. Li stumbled onto the ground. He ran to get his sword. But Sakura stopped him with a look.

"Li tell her what Yelan wants other than a magical niece?" said Sakura.

Li looked surprised than he nodded. He knelt beside Meiling too.

"Yelan doesn't really want a magical niece as much as you think. She just was trying to do what's best for you. And besides your mother was hoping you may be one. But not wanting you to be." said Li.

Meiling glanced up and said, "Really?"

Li nodded his head and Sakura looked on.

"Ok…I'll unfreeze Kero and Yue…"she said.

With that she unfroze Kero and Yue. Kero and Yue was about to attack Meiling when Li and Sakura shook their heads.

"She's back to normal now…" said Sakura.

Meiling nodded and went with them as they walked towards the entrance.

"Wedding soon?" asked Meiling.

Sakura and Li went red on the face and nodded. Meiling laughed and walked off.

"I'll be there!" she shouted as she walked off into the sunshine.
