Chapter 10: Kalvin's Explanation about the Past, the Relatives and The Play Night part 2
Lil LoveStar: Uh oh, what happened here?
Rio: Showron and Kalvin gave us all the information we need. (Evil smile)
Destiny: (Whispering) that's what you think.
Kalvin: I'll prove you're my sister!
Destiny: GET AWAY FROM ME!
Sakura: How in the world are they related?
Lil LoveStar: You'll see how and you'll see more.
"What did you say?" Sakura asked. The whole class was now listening. How could Kalvin say something that didn't make any sense? There is no way that he and Destiny could be related. All that were listening didn't understand except for mainly Destiny's brothers and Ms. Roberts, they were all in their twenties (AN: Surprisingly Their teacher is a few years older then them and they listen to her, she must be scary when she's mad LOL) and they remember what happened seventeen years ago, because of all the killing and brutality that happened.
"What I said is true; you and your brothers are related to me." Kalvin said again. Destiny still didn't understand, but her brothers now noticed his kind of magic was like their fathers and he DID in fact look like Destiny. (AN: If you think about it, BJ, Von, and Jimmy know their father and the fact that...he is a devil but we're not going that far into it)
"Now that I really look at you both this close, you do look alike." Roxi said. Destiny looked at her as if she'd gone crazy. Neither she nor really anyone else could think of them being related, but then again Kalvin seemed nicer than some of his friends.
"Well it's true." Kalvin said. "I found out about our families past from this book." He pulled a large, old look book from the bag he had with him. "It took me a long time to decode the old language on it and to find the ending part of it that was written with a special ink."
"What was on it?" Meiling asked.
"It talked about how during the war that separated our worlds became more complicated when there was what they called a forbidden love involved." "Devils and angels in love with each other." Kalvin said. "What I found interesting was that it wasn't only our father and mother, but it was a few other royal names involved." Kalvin explained.
"So my mother Odessa Charles and whoever your father is were in love?" Destiny asked frowning. She didn't want to believe that she was half devil or that her mother loved one for that matter.
"Not only them but a few others as well, but I'm not sure if I should speak of it." He said.
"Go on Kalvin, I would love to know who here is mixed. We all know who here is of royal blood basically." Tri said sneering.
"Well there were three couples, Odessa and Andre Charles, Samantha and Stephen Taylor, and Dominique and Maxwell Cortez." Kalvin said, shocking those with the name.
"Whoa! Whoa! You mean to tell me that he is my brother?" Roxi asked looking at Michael. Kalvin nodded and said, "And Madison and Rio are twins." None of the young adults really understood what was happening and some of them didn't like when they finally understood.
"You know what; we'll talk some more about this after my play is done and I really did wish you didn't bring this up, now I'm not going to be happy." Destiny said. She looked to Showron with a frown on her face before changing him back into a human. "Now get out there, and those who are supposed to be on stage do the same." She added, she walked past Kalvin and shoved him as she left.
The curtain came up as Showron began. The night of the party was at hand and everyone was excited about it. Everyone was already coming into the Kinomoto Mansion as Roxianne was getting Ying Fa ready. "Ready birthday girl?" She asked brightly, adding the last touches to her younger sister's dress.
"I'd have to say so, I can't back out now." Ying Fa smiled in the mirror. The dress she wore was completely ravishing, a sterling sugar pink, alive and very innocent to the unaided eye. But upon looking at it one would notice how tightly it hugged her hips, how it showed her growing breasts. Her hair was done over completely, a very elegant twist with curls at the end, a pair of pearl earrings and a matching necklace. When ready Roxianne led her downstairs and announced her.
Darius looked at his Cherry Blossom, and he couldn't be more proud of her, Trianne on the other hand hated the fact that her younger sister was more beautiful than herself and every man here was bound to notice. Of course since she was supposed to be the center of attention it would seem right but still she was jealous still.
Ying Fa walked down the stairs and was instantly greeted by family, friends and men. Of course the friends and family she didn't mind but she was being surrounded by a whole group of men, she neither knew nor wanted to marry as they were asking her. Luckily her father pulled her away so she could receive her gifts, which were proposals, gold, perfume and everything else a young woman at her age would have wanted, but she didn't want the proposals. Her father presented his gift last. He said to his daughter, "To my Cherry Blossom, happy birthday darling." He opened the box and Ying Fa's eyes lit up. (AN: Not only hers, Darius's, Tri's and Roxi's as well) It was a diamond and emerald necklace with matching earrings. Darius took off the pearls she had on and put them away. He put on the necklace and earrings. It brought out her eyes and she loved them by the look on her face. To those that lived in heaven, they all knew what Sakura was wearing, including herself. That was the necklace and earrings that Natasha owned and was to be given to Sakura when she was eighteen; of course no one could or would say anything.
Everyone soon after started to dance to the music that was being played. All the men had asked Ying Fa to dance but she didn't wish to. Sitting alone while watching everyone have a good time, Ying Fa noticed a shadowed figure come toward her. "May I have this dance?" The deep voice asked with confidence and huskiness. Ying Fa looked into the amber eyes of the man that asked to dance with her, she was breath taken at the man before her, with his amber eyes and chestnut hair. She got up and took his hand. He led her to the center of the floor and they started to dance the waltz.
"Happy Birthday Ms. Kinomoto, how are you enjoying your evening?" The man dancing with asked her.
"My evening so far has been perfect except for the fact that every man here already either asked me to marry him or to dance or both." Ying Fa chuckled. She didn't look into the young man's face as of yet.
"Well who can blame them, you are and beautiful young woman." The man said in a low voice. Ying Fa blushed and looked up at the man.
"If I may ask, who are you?"
"I am Li Syaoran my lovely lady." He said with a sly smile. Ying Fa blushed again and he slightly blushed as well.
Off near the back of the room both Roxianne and Trianne were looking at their younger sister. Trianne was about to scream in anger. "Roxianne, do you know who that is dancing with the brat?"
"Well I do believe that is Li Syaoran, and you know it's not nice to call Ying Fa a brat, when she is nothing of the kind."
"I don't care right now what I call her; the simple fact is that she's dancing with the richest and most wanted bachelor in both North and South America."
"Don't forget Asia as well."
"Yeah, practically the whole damn world." "And a girl like her has caught his eye."
"I shouldn't help you this time but you're forgetting that daddy isn't that fond of the Li family because of some past issues, so he mostly likely won't approve of Ying Fa being with him." Trianne smiled happily and praised her sister's memory and her time with their father. They both watched as Syaoran and Ying Fa danced, it seemed almost like magic they way they did. But they weren't the only ones watching, Darius was watching as well and he wasn't happy.
"Come outside with me?" Syaoran asked Ying Fa in her ear, the simple closeness made her blush as she said yes. They started for the gardens, Roxianne, Trianne and Darius followed them. Out in the garden, Syaoran lead Ying Fa to the fountain and cherry blossom tree, the full moon was out and it shown a beautiful pure white, almost ivory color. The stars shine as well, casting a very romantic look upon the lighted garden.
"Ying Fa."
"Yes Syaoran?"
"I have to admit, like all the other men I wanted to propose to you as well, but they don't love you for you, they love you for your beauty and money that your father has. But..." He looked straight into her emerald eyes. "I love you, I know I've just met you but I feel as if I've known you my whole life and more, I do want to get to know you, explore who and what you are. Please give me that chance, I'm not asking you to marry me, all I am asking is that we become friends so we can learn about each other." Ying Fa turned from him and walked away a little. On the stage she walked to the very front, and a spotlight fell on her and on Xiaolang as well.
"You know Li; you're the only one that interested me tonight, I'm surprised at you and at myself. From my experience tonight I'd say you're the only one I actually liked." "We can be friends and in the mean time you can court me, if my father sees it fit." She said walking up to him and kissed him on the cheek. Syaoran blushed and smiled. Xiaolang blushed and smiled as well.
"I don't think you will be courting anyone; especially my youngest daughter." Darius said with a frown on. Trianne came out to watch and Roxianne came out as well to stop her father.
"Daddy must you insist on hating the Li's?"
"Yes I do Roxianne; they are the wrong kind for you girls."
"Even I'd have to disagree with you father." Trianne said touching Syaoran's face. He didn't make a move because he saw her father's sword. He didn't have his with him.
"Daddy, why are you doing this?" Ying Fa asked bewildered.
"Because my dear, his family is not all they seem to be." "And I don't expect you to fully understand as of yet." "Leave Syaoran and I don't want you near any of my daughters." Syaoran frowned but turned to Ying Fa, he kissed her hand and looked into her emerald orbs with a smile. (AN: Try and guess if he's acting) He moved toward her ear and whispered, "I'll see you again soon, my dear friend Ying Fa." Ying Fa blushed at the closeness and her father and Trianne were furious.
"GUARDS!" Darius yelled and six young men came out. Syaoran looked at the six then to Darius with a small glare. He looked at Ying Fa once more and winked at her. "GUARDS! TAKE HIM AWAY FROM MY HOUSE AND MY DAUGHTER." One of the guards punched Syaoran in the gut (AN: It was Rio). The others carried him out of the mansion and toward a nearby river where they threw him in and the current carried him down stream.
"DADDY, explain how could you do that?" Ying Fa asked.
"He won't die darling, there aren't any waterfalls." Darius said turning. Ying Fa ran up to him, "That's not what I meant father, why can't he and I be friends."
"Because his family was connected to the Color Dragons." Roxianne said. Ying Fa frowned at her father before running off. Trianne smiled since her sister couldn't have Syaoran. Roxianne didn't show any emotion but went after her. Up in Ying Fa's room, Roxianne came in to talk to her little sister.
"Why doesn't father like Syaoran?" Ying Fa asked Roxianne.
"The Color Dragons were an elite group of sword masters that saved and killed many, depending on the particular Dragon. But that's not important. Father just doesn't like Li's family, but I don't think Li himself is a Color Dragon, father killed the last one about the time you were born." "But don't worry, I saw the look in Li's eyes, he'll return." Roxianne got up and was about to leave, "But remember little sister; father did what he had too to make sure we had the lives we have." The curtain fell and Sakura got off stage for the next scene. She looked to see Destiny standing there.
"What's up?" She asked.
"Nothing, I just feel uneasy about something. But I also noticed something while you were all on stage." Destiny said in a serious tone.
"What?" Madison asked as her and Roxi walked up to them.
"That look you said Xiaolang had Roxi."
"Yeah?" She said bewildered.
"It looked pretty real to me." Destiny smiled. The stage was ready for Xiaolang and Eli's part and Eli was ready in his makeup, looking older. Destiny smiled and left to go to the audience and sit and watch. Showron was ready and the curtain came up once again.
Lil LoveStar: How did you like it? Yeah its longer I know.
Sakura: Pure genius, but does Xiaolang really like me?
Destiny: LOL. You'll see.
Darius: Don't we finish the play in the next chap?
Rio: Yeah and something else happens.
