"Of course!" Meilin cried ecstatically. "I can't let Syaoran and Kinomoto-san have all the fun! I can take on these characters any day! Syaoran and I trained in martial arts together, and we know all the same moves. We work together really well! You need me fighting by your side to the end... Link-san!" She used his name for the first time and beamed.
~*~
"...Sakura."
"Huh?" Sakura froze, realization suddenly flooding her. There was someone else Syaoran loved more than Meilin... he always blushed when he was around her... he hated Link for being with Sakura... he was always so protective, so determined to not let Sakura get hurt...
Syaoran loved her.
And she loved him.
Didn't she?
Sakura blinked. There was a long silence. Now she should confess her love to him. Now was the perfect moment. Why didn't she?!
"It's you," Syaoran said with a smile. He'd done it. He'd done it! Now all he needed was an answer. "I love you. You're my number one."
The seconds passed, Sakura still silent. Why was this so surprising? Why couldn't she say a word? Sakura stood up. She blushed. And then she ran.
Why... why do I feel this way? I love Syaoran back, don't I?
That mirror Link-san showed me made me realize I love Syaoran. But, I'm still not one hundred percent sure what that love even means. I have no idea how I feel... even though it's my own heart.
~*~
Tomoyo emerged from the bushes and Syaoran looked up. "Eh? Oh, hello, Daidouji-san. You were filming?"
She could sense the disappointment behind his words. "Sakura-chan loves you back, I promise," she said consolingly. "She just doesn't know how to say it."
Syaoran knew at once that Tomoyo's words were true. He smiled at his friend and laid back down on the ground. "Thank you... Daidouji-san."
"Please, call me Tomoyo."
"Thank you, Tomoyo. I know Sakura cares about me. I'll let her tell me when she's ready."

Link sighed, his plan hadn't worked out the way that he'd hoped. Now he had one more person to take care of. "Alright, but you'll need a sword. I have just the thing. Wait here." Link used Farores Wind to quickly warp to his weapons cache in the village and grab the Gilded Sword. He also noticed that the Great Fairiy's Sword was gone, but he assumed that he had left it in Kokiri Village. He warped back to the lake.
MEANWHILE AT KAKARIKO GRAVEYARD
Instead of wearing a dress, Malon was wearing a Shekiah battle suit and was using the Great Fary's Sword to fence with Zelda. She had been training ever since Link had revealed his plan to fight Ganon and Majora, and she was going to go with him.

"A sword? Just like Syaoran's! How wonderful!" Meilin sighed and waited for the tourguide to return. "Link-san..." Now that she knew she could never have Syaoran as anything more than a cousin, she was starting to think that Link was kind of... cute...

Link returned to the fishing hole and showed the Gilded Sword to Meilin. "This is the Gilded Sword, do you have any sword experience, or do you need lessons?" Link felt that the answer would be the same, whether or not Meilin knew how to use a sword.

Meilin laughed. "No, of course not, Link-san! I'm fine! I've been watching Syaoran use his sword for years! Just look!" She swung the sword haphazardly around her in a circle, nearly slicing off Link's head in the process. She lowered it, slightly shaken, and admitted, "Well, maybe I'm a little rusty. But I'm sure I'll remember soon enough!"

Link looked skeptically at Meilin, but eventually decided to let it go. Her technique was good, she just needed to perfect her precision. "Your technique is good, but you need to perfect your precision." Link paused for a moment. Repeating his thoughts word for word felt rather odd. "It's almost time to go back to the village. I should get everyone into a group."

((Her technique was good, she just needed to perfect her precision. "Your technique is good, but you need to perfect your precision." OMG for some reason that cracked me up since it's exactly the same thing twice. xD))
"All right," Meilin said, pleased that Link had believed her lie about swordsmanship. He actually was going to let her fight! Well, this Link knew his stuff a lot better than Syaoran did, that's for sure. "I can't wait for this battle! I'm going to beat those evil creeps so hard!" She raised a fist to the air and swung. "GRAHHH!"

Link whipped out the Master Sword and expertly blocked the wayward sword. "The sheath is there for a reason." he quipped. "Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it in no time. Magical swords tend to have some type of ability to give the user enough skill to become proficient on their own. I suggest you train as often as possible in order to prepare."

Meilin nodded determinedly. "Hai! Don't worry, Link-san, I won't let you down!"

LATER, BACK AT THE VILLAGE
Link walked over to Rusl. "Are your men ready? Because I'm relatively sure that we'll need to make our move the day after tomorrow."
"My men are always ready. We'll fight for Hyrule till the bitter end."
"It won't come to that." As Link walked towards the inn he spoke to himself.
"I hope."

Back at the inn, Meilin wasted no time in showing everyone her amazing new sword. The others were confused by awed as she swung it and tried not to kill everyone around her. She purposefully avoided Syaoran, to his surprise. Maybe she'd finally realized that he didn't return her feelings. He sighed. He'd have wanted to be the one to tell her, but... it was good that she knew, anyway.
As for Sakura, she still hadn't return from her flight on the island. Syaoran and Tomoyo were both a little worried. It was dangerous out there!

Link noticed that Syaoran and Tomoyo were acting a little strange, so he walked over to them. "Hey, what's the matter?"

Syaoran glared at Link, but with less ferocity than before. Perhaps he was finally growing to accept the tourguide? "Sakura ran off after I confessed to her," he said as calmly as she could, "and she hasn't come back yet. I think she might be still on the island."

Link's eyes narrowed. "We should go look for her, it's not a good idea to be out in the open with this much evil around. Get ready, we're leaving in five minutes."

Syaoran nodded gravely, and Tomoyo started rummaging for her camera at once. They were just about ready to depart when another voice sounded across the room.
"I'M COMING TOO!"
Meilin was holding her new sword out in front of her in a fencing position unbefitting to this particular sword type. It was pointed straight at Link. "How do you expect me to sit here and wait for you when Kinomoto-san is in danger?!"
Syaoran sighed. "Meilin... look. I don't know where you got that sword or if you even know how to use it, but..."
"Kinomoto-san is my friend," Meilin said defiantly, cutting him off swiftly with a glare. "And I can't very well let my cousin's girlfriend die at the hands of some creep either!"
Syaoran's heart thumped in his chest, his pulse suddenly racing. "Your cousin's girlfriend?!" he squeaked.
Meilin smiled slyly. "Don't tell me you two have broken up already!"
