Author's Notes: I wrote the story in my point of view, so try not to be confused whenever there are phrases in between two dashes (-) that are separate topics, but are related to the story.
Summary: Ying Fa and Xiao Lang were lovers from the past living in the era when almost everyone danced ballet in France. Ying Fa perished in a fire and Xiao Lang committed suicide upon hearing her death. They were reincarnated as Sakura Kinomoto and Syaoran Li. Could they still dance like they used to?
PrologueChapter One: The Painstaking Past
You have probably heard of the saying that when lovers did not get their happy ending, they will be either reincarnated or reborn and finish what they have started that they weren't able to end. Our story of a case like this begins in the next paragraph…A fateful evening, Ying Fa waited for Xiao Lang in her raven colored tutu with matching ballet shoes. She waited in the nearby swan fountain in the park, where they had promised to meet.
She turned her head to the other direction as her auburn shoulder length hair swayed the same direction. Her emerald eyes lit up with happiness along with her face when she saw that the person heading her direction was of course, Xiao Lang.
He apologized for being tardy and Ying Fa forgave him wholeheartedly with a smile on her face. Not soon enough, the pair began to dance. As you know, describing the dance would be just be boring to you, unless you are able to watch ballet, it is vary entertaining. On with the story…
After dancing, they sat on the fountain's bench and enjoyed each other's company even if not one of them started a conversation until Ying Fa asked something.
"Why were you late?" she asked out of pure curiosity.
"Well, you see, mother made me stay after dinner. I didn't tell her that I was supposed to meet you, because she will just be worried." Replied Xiao Lang.
"Why did she make you stay?"
"Because the elders needed to talk to me about my inheritance."
"Oh."
Silence.
"Ying Fa, you know that I love you right?" Xiao Lang suddenly asked out of the blue.
"Of course, and you know that I love you too, why do you ask?"
Xiao Lang stayed silent for a moment and then spoke up. "Ying Fa, I want you to have this," and with that, he reached over to a surprised Ying Fa and placed a locket in a shape of a raven, around Ying Fa's neck. The locket contained no picture by the way.
"It suits you." Xiao Lang complimented as Ying Fa smiled.
"Thank you very much. I have something for you as well." Ying Fa said as she moved closer to Xiao Lang and gave him a kiss.
Xiao Lang smiled and said "Oh wow! That surprised me!" in a sarcastic way.
"Well at least I gave you something in return!"
"I was just kidding! Thanks Ying Fa!"
"Your welcome!" Ying Fa proudly said.
With that, they said their goodbyes and goodnights to each other and both of them went back to their respective homes as it was already a late hour.
Ying Fa went back to their family's mansion and her eyes widened upon seeing her home in a burning furnace. Without thinking – she doesn't do that a lot does she? – she ran inside in hopes of finding her family and hoping to get them out; that is if they were still alive. Dawn came and Ying Fa failed to save her family's lives, including her own.
Xiao Lang grieved upon hearing her death. A week after the terrible accident, their bodies were buried. After the funeral, Xiao Lang went to a cliff still thinking that his life was a useless without Ying Fa, and that was his last thought as he jumped off the cliff and died.
Days after Ying Fa and Xiao Lang's death, a local farmer went to Ying Fa's and her family's house and found a raven shaped locket, he thought that it would be a great gift to her daughter and brought it with him. The farmer's last5 name was Amamiya by the way.
Author's Notes: Yes, it is very tragic, but I assure you that tragedy is not the story's genre. Thanks to those who reviewed, it is highly appreciated.
