In the Year 4005

Humanity caused the destruction upon Earth. Weapons of mass destruction were finally created by nations all over the world, and a series of long wars were created.

The land was poisoned by humanity's evil, and as Earth's orbit steered further away from the sun's heat and light, Earth fell into darkness.

And within the deep darkness over the country of Japan, a girl was born. A girl with a dying wish to meet with him again.

…

As You Wish

Chapter Two

Years passed by slowly for the little girl Ying-Fa. She grew up in a world where nowhere and no one were safe. Her father was killed in war when she turned two. She was too little to understand the trauma her mother was going through, and at that time, could only offer help by picking her mother the flowers she could find.

As the Earth was already poisoned, picking flowers was nearly a dangerous thing, and Ying-Fa almost got poisoned once by picking the wrong daisies. Ying-Fa can still remember how her mother had nearly broken into tears once again when she saw Ying-Fa's fingers covered in cuts and scratches from the thorns.

"Don't cry, mummy." Ying-Fa had told her while her mother had hugged her tightly, "Everything's going to be just fine."

Over the years, her mother eventually got over the sadness of her husband dying, and she began home schooling Ying-Fa. Schools were full of traitors of other countries, and lechers trying to rape girls. Ying-Fa's mother did not even want to think about sending Ying-Fa towards one of those schools.

In the twelfth year of Ying-Fa's life, her mother died. The doctors claimed it to be from the poisoning within the Earth's atmosphere. At that age, Ying-Fa began to understand how her mother felt when her daddy died.

In order to stop the social workers from taking her off and giving her away to a foster family, Ying-Fa ran away.

…

Ying-Fa ran along the streets, and she decided to take a break once she made her way to a deserted street. True, it wasn't safe, but she'd rather be captured than with foster parents.

"Hello!"

Ying-Fa turned around to find a rather disgusted looking girl making her way towards Ying-Fa, "Will you take up the offer to work for my lady?" the girl clicked her fingers, "Shelter, food, drinks…all yours in the case if you work for my lord."

Ying-Fa looked at the girl, and she did not reply. The taller girl smiled slightly, and put out her hand, "Don't worry. It's true she will gain ownership of you. I won't deny that, but it's better than being on the streets. You'll die from the poison within days." She pointed at herself, "Look at me! I was a girl on the streets as well. My lord paid for my operation fee to operate on my lungs, which were poisoned by the gases. No matter what she says, my lord does have a touch of sympathy for others."

Ying-Fa looked at the girl's hand, and she cautiously put hers into the taller girl's. The girl looked at Ying-Fa, and she smiled.

…

"I hope you understand the consequences, Li-san."

Syaoran knelt down, and he said, without looking, "Yes I do, my lord."

"The balance is now incomplete. Do you wish to suffer the consequences, Li-san? This is entirely your fault. You practically wished for that child's death." The man said, checking his files for unneeded grim and dirt.

"I did not wish for the child's death, my lord. In fact, I believe the balance is making too big a deal of this."

"Silence." The man ordered. Syaoran immediately stopped contradicting the man, and he frowned in dismay.

The man got up, and he walked towards Syaoran, while saying, "You were eavesdropping at the meeting. You were listening to the plan, and you decided to interfere. You decided on your own that the balance did not matter anymore, and you decided to go and save the damn child."

Syaoran turned away, "It was not good enough. Why not take another human being's life? Why the little girl's, who barely had passed the age of ten?"

"Fool. Did you sincerely believe the balance could act upon on its own? Something has to provoke it to happen. Li, you literally did wish for the child's death. But then and again, you may have been foolish, like always, and helped the balance in return." The man stared at Syaoran with utmost disgust, and she said, "Please get away from my sight."

Syaoran got up without uttering a single word, and he glared at the man. What did he mean by it was his wish to destroy Sakura's life? How did he…?

The man smirked, and she continued, "You were the last one the girl saw before she died. Rather lucky, considering you're a wish bringer, do you not think? Or maybe the exact opposite, Li. I do wonder what she wished for before she died tragically in you arms."

The man put his hands to his chest, and sighed with heavy sarcasm, "Now off with you."

"My lord!" another girl said, running towards the woman. The man turned around, with slight dislike written her on face. The girl puffed, and she whispered, "I followed your orders, my lord, and found a lost girl on the streets. She would make a fine servant, my lord."

The man smirked, "Just like you, Tomoyo. Bring her in." she cast a glance towards Syaoran, and she hissed, "I suppose you may stay for now. Show the girl around."

Tomoyo, the lanky girl, nervously waved at Ying-Fa for her to come over. He raised her eyebrow as Ying-Fa tripped on her way towards him.

Oh no…

"Is this her? Tell me your name, child."

Ying-Fa started wriggling, and she looked back at Tomoyo for reassurance, "Ying-Fa. Ying-Fa Fujitaka."

The man smiled, "What a pity. Such a simple, but elegant name." he glanced sharply at Ying-Fa, and he said, "From today onwards, your soul and name belongs to me. Understand?"

Ying-Fa turned around to see what Tomoyo's advice was, and all Tomoyo did was nod at Ying-Fa. Ying-Fa took a deep breathe, and she said softly, "I understand."

The man smiled, his voice dripping with sarcasm, "Thank you for your generous…offer to take up employment under my side. Syaoran, please guide her around the area, and do not let the balance gain contact with her yet. Understand?"

Syaoran bowed, muttering, "Yes, my lord." He looked back up, and he said to the girl, "If you may, please follow me."

Ying-Fa looked at Tomoyo, who once again nodded. Then Ying-Fa quickly walked towards Syaoran, and took the hand he offered her.

Tomoyo shook her head slightly as the man rounded upon her, "Why did you choose her? If anything, she looks like a girl who will easily make silly mistakes!"

Tomoyo's mouth slightly twitched, and Tomoyo said defensively, "She was on the streets. I still remember the days when I was on the streets, and you, my lord rescued me. Somehow, I wanted everyone in my sight to be safe. It was not fun being on the streets, my lord."

The man sighed in an irritable way, "She'll get use to the work. But it is one more soul to be in my collection…"

Tomoyo bit her lip as she felt the man looking at the jars to her left. Jars full of the souls of his dead servants. Tomoyo gulped, and turned away, "Yes, my lord. Truly an honour."

…

Syaoran looked at the girl beside him. She was shivering from the cold. Syaoran slightly sniffed, and he took off his coat, "Here. Take this."

The girl, her name was apparently Ying-Fa was slightly alarmed as the coat was thrown onto her, "who are you again?'

The boy sniffed again, "Li Syaoran. Clow Reed's personal, but of course, always foolish assistant."

"I don't suppose you like people addressing you by your first name, ne? Li-kun?"

The boy froze, hearing someone utter the phrase, 'Li-kun'. It was a long time since someone had paid him such respect – as he was a piece of dirt, a dragon-boy, a good-for nothing servant (or the foolish personal assistant). In fact, it was two thousand years since someone addressed him with such respect.

His mind slowly darted back towards the year 2005, in which he tailed a girl called Sakura. He sniffed angrily. He had destroyed the balance in order to tail her. And apparently, according to Clow Reed, it was his entire fault the balance was provoked.

Perhaps he shouldn't even exist?

Syaoran smiled to himself. He liked the girl Sakura. She didn't ask too many questions, apart from the occasional, 'where do you live' and 'what's your name'. He liked having his own personal space.

Sakura also had mesmerising brown eyes. He liked the warmth in the eyes. But he forced himself to forget that they were going to die out and fade as time went by, closer to her death date in which Syaoran thought he could alter.

As a wish-bringer, he knew he shouldn't mess with fate. Especially with human girls that didn't know how to watch the road for cars coming!

But Sakura's last wish had started haunting him since the day she died. It was a dying wish to meet him again.

Syaoran knew that a wish to revive the dead was impossible; unless he wanted to create the living dead and spread a massive epidemic…yes… he could have done that. But in the end, Clow Reed would punish him even greater for destroying the important balance.

He remembered (distantly though), that he had said to Sakura, "I hate the friggin' balance."

So true.

"Calling me Syaoran is just fine, Ying-Fa." He replied after some time of pondering on his thoughts.

Ying-Fa instantly brightened up, "Actually, it's pretty much impolite to call you Syaoran straight after we've met, so how about I just call you Li-san for now?"

Syaoran stared coldly, "Did your mother or father teach you that."

It was a statement, not a question.

Ying-Fa stiffened, and she said calmly, "Actually, both my parents are dead."

Syaoran couldn't reply, and Ying-Fa continued saying, "But I believe they're in heaven. I believe in them. They were too good to go to hell. Maybe they'll balance it out, and in the end, their good deeds outweigh the bad deeds." she laughed, "Just like what the Egyptians believed to have happened in the afterlife!"

"The balance?"

Ying-Fa smiled, "I believe in that there's a balance for the dead and the alive. Maybe my parent's death was to bring two more children to life. Maybe that was their sacrifice. Who knows?" she grinned, "I feel better knowing their life was sacrificed to save another's,"

Syaoran laughed. Ying-Fa sure had a bright outlook on life. Balance or not.

Are you sure about that, Syaoran?
