Chapter Nine: Ying Fa's & Xiao Lang's Story Part 2

Fifteen year old Ying Fa sighed, looking out at the moon and the stars. It had been a few months since she seen Xiao Lang, it was much harder to see him these days because of Ethan. She knew her parents meant well when arranging the marriage to Ethan but she didn't want him, her heart belonged to Xiao Lang.

She heard the door open and close and then foot steps coming over to her. She turned to see her fifteen year old cousin/best friend Madison standing there with worried eyes.

"Why so blue Ying Fa?" she asked her, grabbing a hair brush and started to brush Ying Fa's long brown hair which fell to below her waist.

"I miss him Madison" Ying Fa confessed to her, resting her chin on her hands.

"I know you do Ying Fa but you remember what Clow Reed said, it's too dangerous for you both to continue meeting in secret" Madison replied, still brushing Ying Fa's hair.

"I know what Clow Reed said but I don't care about what Ethan does, I don't want to marry him"

"Ying Fa you know very well Ethan is dangerous, you can't go behind his back like that. Clow Reed even warned you. We shouldn't try to get on his bad side" Madison said

"I rather that Chinese brat over Ethan any day" Kero said, transforming into his true form from a yellow cat.

"Kero, you should be taking sides with me" Madison argued, glaring at him.

"Ying Fa is my mistress and she won't give me dessert if I don't take her side" Kero said, smartly.

"Kero" Madison said, rolling her eyes while Ying Fa giggled.

"Psst Ying Fa" said a voice outside her window. Ying Fa looked down to see Xiao Lang standing there with a white horse next to him. He was wearing a dark green long button up shirt and black pants.

'Xiao Lang" she said, happily.

Madison and Kero froze after hearing his name.

"You mustn't" Madison said quickly, seeing the look in Ying Fa's emerald green eyes when she turned to Kero and her.

"Please? Can I please go? Cover for me?" she asked her cousin.

Madison sighed and nodded; Ying Fa squealed and hugged her cousin.

"Thank you so much Madison, I owe you one" she said to Madison, smiling as she pulled back and was about to go but was pulled back by Madison.

"No, before you go we must change you into something else" Madison said, looking at Ying Fa's night dress.

Ying Fa sweat dropped, as Madison went over to her closet.

Soon Ying Fa waved to Madison and Kero and was climbing out of her window wearing a creamy white spaghetti strap dress that fell to her knees and white slip on shoes.

"Let go, I'll catch you" Xiao Lang said from belong her.

Ying Fa trusted him, so she let go of the vines and Xiao Lang caught her in his arms.

Xiao Lang put her back on her feet and helped her on the horse, he then got on infront of her, she held onto his waist and they took off.

Almost twisting her neck to look at Xiao Lang as they lay down on the grass under the cherry blossom tree, her emerald eyes met the pair of slightly nervous ones. They were lonely, and almost sad, but held warmness and compassion. She found that she wasn't able to move anymore. She just stared at his eyes. They were beautiful amber eyes. Holding the colors of autumn, honey-golden mixed with red and brown, mysterious and so strangely affectionate. Some smooth locks of darker hair fell softly above them.

Something inside of her began to pulse. Oh, her heart, she realized. It seemed to have stopped while she lost herself in Xiao Lang's eyes. Now it resumed it's beating with full strength, pounding faster than usually. No, faster than ever. She felt a blush come to her cheeks.

Xiao Lang looked straight into her eyes, feeling the stupid cheeks burning again. Those eyes reminded him of the spring. Like the lush grass, and the blooming flowers, they were naturally dazzling. They held a glimmer he would never forget, he was sure. Bright and innocent, and so beautiful. Like pure emeralds, glistening softly under the star light.

Ying Fa suddenly realized that he had relaxed his grip completely, and she had unconsciously turned her body to face him. She could feel the warmness of his body against her own. She wasn't cold anymore. Neither did she fear the fact that she was so close to him. Still staring into his eyes, she actually didn't realize what exactly she was doing. It was like something instinctive.

His arms seemed to have found their way around her waist, Xiao Lang suddenly realized. Adding some more red to his already flushed cheeks, he had courage enough to hold her closer to him. He needed to feel more of her, this wasn't enough. Her arms were hanging limply around his own waist; she had put them there distractedly for sure. She had a thin waist; he could easily clasp his hands behind her if he wanted to. But right now, he wanted something else.

As if mechanically, he felt himself leaning closer to her. Surprisingly, she didn't back away. She was just as hypnotized by him as he was by her, but he was too far away in his own thoughts to realize that. He could see her face inching closer to him as well, and this startled him, but he didn't stop. As if controlled by somebody else, he kept leaning closer and closer towards the Princess.

Ying Fa could feel her eyes closing, as if she was under someone's control. His control. She didn't really care right now.

All of a sudden, both of them felt the other's lips brushing against their own. This was the most unique thing they had ever felt. Xiao Lang decided that this wasn't enough for him. He wanted more; he needed to feel more of her lips. He pressed himself a little deeper into the kiss. She reacted in her own way, pushing her body forward and returning what he was doing hungrily. Soon both found themselves in a passionate kiss.

The weirdest and most amazing feeling they had ever felt. Something strong, that motioned them to continue kissing, no matter what the others would think. Xiao Lang felt his heart racing, and he knew hers was beating just as quickly. He could feel her heart beating against his chest, and this made him want to continue. He simply continued to kiss the Princess that he had in his arms, not caring anymore if they could get caught. He just wanted to have her by his side, and nothing more.

Ying Fa had never experienced anything like this, ever. She was doing something oh so forbidden, and yet didn't let the thought bother her. She felt that what she was doing, whether she was to marry Ethan or not, was right. She could feel how fast her heart was beating against her ribs, as if wanting to break free. Her lips longed for more, her heart yearned for something she wasn't able to give it since she was born. And for the first time ever, she could feel that she was dong something that was really what she wished.

From lack of air, the two broke apart. Xiao Lang looked at Ying Fa again, wanting to see her reaction, almost fearing that she push him away. When he saw the… well, the look in her eyes, he instantly knew that she wasn't mad at him or anything. She had wanted that as much as him, or so it seemed.

"I love you Ying Fa" he said softly, looking into her eyes.

"I love you too Xiao Lang" she replied in a whisper and pulling him back into a kiss, not seeing a shadow of a person watching them with angry eyes.

Sunlight splashed across palace's private garden as Ying Fa came down from her room for breakfast. She was quiet, subservient, and proper; everything that she knew was expected of her as the fiancée of Ethan Demon. Ying Fa was certain that everything would be all right when Ethan told her, "I was hoping you would come to me last night."

"I was tired," Ying Fa replied, continuing the lie she had told her parents earlier.

"Your exertions in the forest were no doubt exhausting."

'No! How could he know?' Ying Fa thought and then the answer dawned on her. She was shocked, scared, not sure of his reaction, but Ying Fa sipped her tea, keeping her mask firmly in place. "I see you had that undertaker of a manservant following me again. How typical"

"You will never behave like that again, Ying Fa," he growled. "Do you understand?"

His words always grated when he treated her like a possession rather than the woman he was supposed to love. After the respectful way Xiao Lang had treated her the previous night, they grated even more than usual. "I am not a servant that you can command. I am your fiancée"

But that was the wrong word to say. His tight control on his temper snapped. "My fiancée?" he demanded, as his fist came down, making the dishes rattle. "Myfiancée!" he exclaimed, as he swept those dishes from the table so they crashed onto the grass. 'YES, YOU ARE! My wife in practice if not yet by law!" he roared, first tipping the table over before sticking his face directly into hers, and Ying Fa was petrified with fear, afraid that he would strike her, or worse. "So you will honor me. You will honor me the way a wife is required to honor her husband. Because I will not be made out a fool, Ying Fa. Is this in any way unclear?"

Ying Fa was more terrified than she ever was in her life. Tears in her eyes and in her voice, Ying Fa shook her head and stuttered out a single, "No"

"Good. Excuse me" and he left, as if Ying Fa were something horrible with which he did not wish to share space, leaving Madison (who had been hiding in the bushes to see what had happened after the maids had gotten her) and Ying Fa to clean up the mess he had left behind. Madison held Ying Fa as she trembled and wept, feeling both terrified and hopeless all at once.

"We'll find a way out of this mess" Madison whispered to her cousin, rocking her backwards and forwards as Ying Fa cried quietly.

Sakura and Ying Fa were in a pink room after that.

"What happened then?" Sakura asked, curiously.

Ying Fa smiled "Madison did what she told her that day, Madison marched up to Ying Fa's parents and explained how Ethan has been treating you. Your parents wanted you to be happy so that same day they had broke the contract with Ethan and told him to leave the castle"

"Let me guess, things didn't go that good from there" Sakura said

Ying Fa smiled sadly, "No they didn't but Ying Fa and Xiao Lang still met in secret. Their love for each other is what made them continue day after day in life…until Ethan wanted his revenge and wanted Ying Fa all for himself…"

"Xiao Lang! Look at me! I can fly!" a fifteen year old Ying Fa cheered as she swung from a branch of their favorite tree. "You come too, Xiao Lang! It's funnnnnnnnnnnnn!"

"Ying Fa!" A seventeen year old Xiao Lang rushed over to the tree. "Get down from there! It's dangerous!"

"No, I'll be fine!" Ying Fa laughed as she flung herself up the branch and sat there. "Care to join me?"

Xiao Lang took a while to think

"Aw, c'mon, it's plenty of fun!" Ying Fa cheered. "Oh, look! It's a butterfly." she tried to catch it, and she carelessly slipped over a loose arm. Ying Fa yelped and clung on to the branch.

"YING FA!" she heard Xiao Lang panic from far below. "Hang in there! I'm coming up to help you!"

But Ying Fa couldn't. She couldn't hang in any longer.

She slipped. An inch off the branch. Another inch. Then she fell. Headlong into the river beside the tree. Ying Fa screamed… And she crashed into the water.

'I can't swim!' she thought.

Ying Fa tried her hardest to tread in the water. She watched in fear as Xiao Lang dived into the current.

She gasped. " Xiao Lang …!"

Suddenly, Ying Fa felt a pair of strong hands encircle her waist, and immediately knew Xiao Lang had come for her. He carried her up the bank and placed her on the ground.

"Ying Fa… Are you okay?"

She coughed. " I'm sorry…"

"Don't be," he whispered as he took off his coat and wrapped it around her. He ran his hands through her hair. "Are you okay?"

Ying Fa nodded weakly. "Thank you for saving me, Xiao Lang…"

"Hey. I'll always be there for you," he smiled and kissed her on the forehead. "Just, would you like to take swimming lessons from me? I won't charge you."

Ying Fa punched him playfully in his arm. "Me, an 15-year-old, taking swimming lessons? Syaoran, don't be ridiculous!"

He chuckled softly. "Only joking."

Ying Fa smiled and drifted asleep, on the soft grass by their favorite cherry blossom tree.

After she had dried off, Xiao Lang woke her up. "Come, 'tis time you went home. Don't tell anyone about this, okay?"

"Of course, I don't want you dead" Ying Fa replied, rolling her eyes.

Ying Fa walked forward and everyone kept their eyes on her. As she put her hands on her chest, a dark light began to glow from within her, and she gradually pulled her hands away, revealing it to be a mystical dark orb.

Ethan walked up to her and took the orb, but before he left her, he bent down and they both kissed. Xiao Lang's eyes widened and he could see that Ying Fa whispered to him, "Good luck."

He backed away, being heartbroken at what he saw, but shook it off. "She's under his control...," He thought. "She doesn't love him, he's making her love him!" . "Argh, you coward! How can you do that?" He asked with such rage.

"What do you mean?" Ethan asked sarcastically. "Are you jealous...Little Wolf?"

"How can you lie to her like that? Lying to her and making her love you!" Xiao Lang exclaimed. "She's not happy, so why are you making her do that?"

"How can you tell that she is not happy? Look at her; I don't see her crying out for solace from you. She's happy with me, and she's mine." Ethan whispered.

Xiao Lang drew back in a defeated way, but he shook his head. "No! Ying Fa! You can't! Don't you remember me? I'm Xiao Lang!"

Ying Fa stared at him with a blank expression. "Xiao...Lang...? Who is this...Xiao...Lang?" She asked softly.

Ethan turned his head to look at her. "No one that you should concern yourself with, Ying Fa. He's trying to take you away from your happiness." He said.

"My happiness...?" Ying Fa asked.

"No! Ying Fa, why won't you remember? We were happy together! You're not happy with this bastard, I can tell! Your mind may be his, but your heart isn't!" Xiao Lang exclaimed.

Ying Fa backed away and fell on her knees. "...Who are you?"

Xiao Lang smiled as a sign of relief, knowing he was at least getting through her. "...Ying Fa, it's me, Xiao Lang. You and I...We love each other remember? Don't you remember how we met? Our parents arranged our marriage previously, but cancelled it because of the war and Ethan"

"...Xiao Lang...And I...?" Ying Fa asked, as she started to stare at the floor.

"Ying Fa, he's trying to manipulate you into his game, don't fall for such foolishness!" Ethan exclaimed.

Ying Fa covered her ears, not wanting to hear either Ethan or Xiao Lang. "...M-My memories..." She whispered as she closed her eyes.

Flash Backs

"So...We're..."SixyearoldYingFastarted.

"...Supposed to get married." Eight year old Xiao Lang finished.

"Yeah," She said.

***
"I love you Ying Fa" he said softly, looking into her eyes.

"I love you too Xiao Lang" she replied in a whisper and pulling him back into a kiss

End of Flash backs…

Ying Fa's eyes opened again, and they were still full of nothingness, but she stood up. "Xiao Lang... " She whispered. "Do you love me?"

"Of course I do...With all my heart, Ying Fa." Xiao Lang replied.

"...Then why can't I remember...?" Ying Fa said while tears formed in her eyes. "So many random thoughts run through my mind, that I can't even think that they're reality... But... I want to remember something wonderful...Something that would make my heart glow. But my heart is with Ethan, what am I supposed to do...?"

"Do not even think of it, Ying Fa. Xiao Lang is taking control over your mind." Ethan said.

"...No...He's taking over...My heart...I don't know...Where I belong." And with that, Ying Fa collapsed and she fell unconscious.

"Ying Fa...!" Xiao Lang shouted as he was about to run to her, but Ethan blocked his way.

"You can't get her. I won't allow it," Ethan said. "Fight me and maybe we'll see who gets her in the end..."

Madison and Clow Reed ran over to the unconscious Ying Fa and kept watch over her while the two began at a fighter's stance. Yue kept watch just in case Ethan double-crossed on this fight. He was afraid that he might strike on Madison and Clow Reed.

Xiao Lang and Ethan started to fight and their swords clashed against each other like in their previous battles. Both were really determined to win this girl, but Xiao Lang had to be the most determined one fighting.

Ethan jumped back and sent forth a dark energy wave towards Xiao Lang, but Xiao Lang jumped up, parrying it. Xiao Lang took out an ofuda and threw it up to the air as he summoned its magic. "God of Thunder, descend!" He chanted as bolts of lightening came down upon Ethan.

Ethan was too late to evade the attack and got severely hurt. He was on one knee, and slowly got up, but that wasn't enough to kill someone. Xiao Lang took out another ofuda and summoned its magic. "King of Fire, descend!" Xiao Lang chanted as fire pillars came down upon him.

"The same trick won't work on me," Ethan said as he used an energy shield to block off the magic attack. "Dark Impulse!" He shouted as he pointed his palm directly at Xiao Lang. Waves of energy went towards him and surrounded him as he was somewhat electrocuted by them. Then, a pillar of lightening came down, directly at Xiao Lang. No one could really survive an attack like that.

"XIAOLANG!" Madison shouted worriedly, as hot tears fell out of her eyes, Clow Reed held her back.

Ying Fa's eyes immediately opened and she disappeared in a flash of light, and then reappeared in front of Xiao Lang. She took the attack, and the lightening went right through her body.

"I don't know what I just did...But...I think what I did was out of Love...For you, Xiao Lang..." She whispered during that fast attack. As she took the full impact, it was clearly stated that she was ...dead.

She fell to the ground and Xiao Lang's eyes widened, as well as Ethan's. "Y-Ying Fa...! Wake up! Ying Fa, wake up, please!" Xiao Lang pleaded as he dropped down next to her. He shook her furiously. "...Don't die..." He whispered as tears welled up in his eyes. And the memories filled his mind.

Xiao Lang stood up with rage and anger, and hot tears streaming down his face. "You bastard!" He shouted.

Ethan's sword disappeared. "What she did was inevitable and she chose to save you, Little Wolf. You and not me, I guess I'll just have to kill you now." He said.

"What the hell is your problem? You loved Ying Fa, yet you can care less that...That she died?" Xiao Lang asked.

"I could care less. She was only there because her powers could help support my domain. But, unfortunately she lost it, and died. What a pity..."

Xiao Lang's sword disappeared too. "Son of a bitch, I'll make you pay." Xiao Lang charged at him with full speed and when he was in a 10 foot range, he leaped into the air and kicked him as he was plunging down at the head.

Ethan shook it off and got in a fighter's stance. "This will be a battle to the death."

"Ying Fa, Ying Fa...Please open your eyes..." Madison sobbed.

"...Madison...There's nothing...We can do anymore for her. My powers aren't working, we can't heal her wounds..." Clow Reed whispered. Madison cried even harder and she leaned onto Clow Reed as he comforted her.

"Ying Fa..." Keroberus whispered.

"Her aura is in limbo...Yue." Clow Reed said as he looked towards him.

Yue looked at Clow Reed, then to Madison who was crying and then turned his gaze at Ying Fa. 'Ying Fa...I won't let you die yet.' He thought as he closed his eyes.

"Where am I...? It seems like I'm on an endless pathway." Ying Fa whispered as she walked along a light and dark pathway.

Yue suddenly appeared in front of her. "You are in the place of limbo. The place where the dead go after they die...But, Ying Fa you are not really dead."

"But then...Why am I here?" Sakura asked looking around.

"You're innocently debating what you should do, but because of your heartfelt actions to save Xiao Lang from that brutal attack, you were sent to this part of the heavens only. You have a chance to come back to us, but you need your heart to let you. We can't let you die just yet," Yue said with such calmness. "You are the next master to the Clow Cards, but in order to do that you must prove yourself. Obviously, we don't have time for such matters..."

"So then what should I do?" Ying Fa asked.

"...Clow Reed said it had to be done so it has to be done...For the sake of the world. I'll let all of your cards turn into your own Cards, and maybe you can finally get rid of Ethan for good." Yue said.

Ying Fa's hands started glowing, and another Key appeared.

"I, Yue, grant you under contract to take full responsibility though she has not passed the Last Judgment, Darkness has spread over our world and we are in a dire situation! Ancient gods of Light and Darkness, I hereby declare her the new Mistress'! Ying Fa, accept your responsibility and summon the Key!" Yue said.

Ying Fa stuck out her hand with the Key in her palm. "O, Key which hides the powers of the stars...I, Ying Fa, grant thee under contract...Release!" She chanted as the Key became a staff.

All of the cards suddenly transformed themselves into Ying Fa' Cards, immediately, knowing that they must be under their new Mistress's control, and that it their duty to help her.

"Let's go, Ying Fa." Yue said as he stuck out his hand.

Ying Fa took his hand and they started flying...Back to reality.

Ying Fa's eyes opened and she quickly got up and leaped on her feet.

"Ying Fa!" Clow Reed exclaimed.

"Ying Fa!" Keroberus exclaimed as everyone came close to her. "How did you...?"

"...Long story, Kero. But, there' no time for chit-chat. I got to save the world...And Xiao Lang." She said as she walked up to the two who were in a fierce mortal combat.

"Ying Fa!" Xiao Lang exclaimed softly as he got distracted, but his distraction led to a punch in the face and he fell down.

Ying Fa knelt beside him. It was like she was an angel returned from heaven, her face was radiant and her eyes were full of liveliness. "...I'll take care of it," She whispered as she got up. She held her staff in a delicate way. "No more, Ethan. You're not going to cause anybody pain." She said.

"So you're alive again, eh? Well, then...Let's see how really powerful you really are," He said. "Final Crisis!" He yelled as he sent forth what looked like a dark silhouette of a tiger towards her.

"Angel's Light!" Ying Fa screamed as she sent forth a bright energy wave of light. They two energy beams collided with each other, and it seemed like Ethan was winning. Ying Fa knew she couldn't really summon any cards without a staff, because she used her staff to send that energy wave.

'I need to use my cards, but I'm using my staff...What am I supposed to do?'She thought. ' I can't let the people I love die, I can't let this world be covered in Darkness...'

Ying Fa's power grew weaker and weaker with every second. "Giving up so soon, Ying Fa? I thought you'd be stronger than that." Ethan said.

"I'm...I'm not giving up! I have led the life that I wanted to lead ever since I fell in love with Xiao Lang, and I won't let you take that away from me!" Ying Fa yelled.

Her Cards began to glow endlessly and it looked like they were all combining their powers together. They merged in with Ying Fa's Angel Light attack and she grew stronger.

"You won't win, Ethan. Your heart is filled with Darkness, you cannot destroy this world full of light and hope. You'll die right here and right now, you won't cause anymore suffering!" Ying Fa's energy wave overpowered Ethan and it soon hovered his own body.

"What the...! NO! I can't die NOW!...NOOOOOOO!" He yelled as he disappeared.

He was gone, and Ying Fa's Angel Light shrouded in the air, and she fell on her knees. "It's finally over..." She whispered as she nearly fell down again.

Xiao Lang ran and caught her before she fell unconscious once more. "...I'm glad that you won, Ying Fa...I'm proud."

"...Your love made me do it." Ying Fa whispered.

Xiao Lang smiled as he watched her fall asleep in his arms.

Sixteen year old Ying Fa was humming a tune while picking some flowers from a garden outside the Castle in Japan. She was wearing a long soft pink dress with straps and white flat shoes.

Suddenly hands went over her emerald green eyes.

"Guess who" whispered a male voice in her ear. Ying Fa grinned ear to ear and turned her head around to see eighteen year old Xiao Lang smiling down at her.

He was wearing long black pants, long sleeve button up green shirt with black cape hanging from his shoulders to the back. (I don't know what guys where in those days). His black horse was a few meters away eating grass.

"Xiao Lang!" Ying Fa squealed turning and jumping towards him hugging him, her head on his chest.

"Princess" he said softly, hugging her.

Ying Fa pulled away and crossed her arms, pretending to be mad.

"What have I told you about calling me Princess? Call me Ying Fa" she said with mock anger.

Xiao Lang chuckled "Ying Fa"

Ying Fa smiled brightly up at him and then her emerald eyes filled with worry.

"Why are you here in daylight? The guards might spot you Xiao Lang. My father would have you hanged if they catch you here since you are Chinese. Japan and China are in a war remember" She said quietly, looking back towards the castle to see if anyone was around.

"Nothing for a warrior like myself that can't handle" he said, he reached out and pulled her into a hug, tighter this time but not hurting her. "I missed you also Ying Fa. We haven't seen each other for a month"

Ying Fa hugged him back, resting her head on his chest and sighing. "I missed you too Xiao Lang, I wish our countries weren't at war. It would be so much easier."

"Let's go to our secret place" he whispered in her ear. She smiled and nodded.

Ying Fa smiled at Sakura as she showed her many more different scenes that were in the story of their past life.

"Sakura, after you wake up I will no longer be around" she said to Sakura quietly.

"What? Why?" Sakura asked her confused.

"I am a part of you, and I was only created by your past life's memories" Ying Fa explained (A/N:You know like how in Sailor Moon Moonlight Night was created by Darien's memories and etc when he forgot about the past)

Ying Fa bit her lip and smiled friendly to Sakura "I don't think I need to show you anything about the day you died in the past because of that fire, you have seen it already"

"Ying Fa" Syaoran said, shaking Sakura's shoulders gently to wake her up. He looked extremely worried about her.

"I don't think she'll wake up for awhile" Eriol said to him

They were back at the mansion crowded around Sakura's bed.

Syaoran ignored him and kept trying to wake her but no luck. It had been a week since they found her out in the ally looking dead.

Most of the members had left the room, leaving Mei Lin, Justin, Eriol, Tomoyo and Syaoran there.

There was a pink light and a woman about eighteen stood there. The woman had long brown hair that fell to below her waist; she had sparkling emerald green eyes, creamy skin and no make up on. She wore a yellow summer dress which looked a bit dirty with they could see a little crown on her head.

The five of them gasped in shock. Syaoran who was holding onto Sakura's cold hand looked at the woman with a confused look.

"Ying Fa" he said, confused.

Ying Fa smiled sadly and nodded, while the others gasped in surprise.

Syaoran looked between the body in the bed and the ghost like woman.

"How is there two of you?" Eriol asked for Syaoran who remained confused looking between the woman in bed to the ghost like one standing infront of him.

Ying Fa smiled a knowing smile on her face, she knew Eriol would ask such a thing because Syaoran didn't seem to know and she had a feeling Eriol did in some way.

"Good question Clow" She said "I was created hundreds of years ago after Princess Ying Fa Avalon died. Clow Reed had told me that Ying Fa was to be reborn again hundreds of years later and he created me out of all Princess Ying Fa's memories of the past. I saw myself be reborn eighteen years ago as Sakura Kinomoto but I was told not to confront her just yet, to let her be free and enjoy her childhood and teenage life."

She paused for a bit letting them take it all in and then continued.

"I saw Xiao Lang over the years trying to search for her reincarnation; I also saw Ethan was looking for her when she was about fifteen. As much as I wanted Xiao Lang to find her I had to keep her hidden from Xiao Lang so Ethan did not know about it, I didn't want Sakura to face the dangers of the real world until she was old enough to protect herself and her magic was powerful enough.

Once Sakura turned eighteen I decided to let her presence be known to Xiao Lang which is how he found her in that local bar months ago she went to. It was risky though since Ethan and his gang were there plus the Dragons Gang. But I knew Sakura would be safer with Xiao Lang back then instead of being by herself.

Over the last few months I been in Sakura's dreams to try and trigger her memories back slowly because I thought she had the time to recover them slowly but then I saw she was captured by Ethan and brainwashed which wasted the time I made on getting her past memories back. So during the fight a week ago when Sakura had escaped to the ally way I confronted her for the first time, I used my magic to break the necklace that she was wearing which was filled with dark magic of Ethan's so she couldn't remember anything.

Her magic awakened that day also and then I decided then and there that she needed to know her past as quick as possible, there was no time doing one memory per dream anymore. So I went inside her head and put her into a deep sleep to show her the whole history of her past."

"Wow" was all Mei Lin and Tomoyo said

"So are you saying once she wakes up she will remember everything?" Syaoran asked her

"Once I let myself be part of her again, she will remember everything of her past, her magic will be stronger but she needs Yue and Kero. Do you have her Ying Fa Cards?" she asked Eriol lastly.

"Yes, I have kept them with me since the fire. Kero has been in a deep sleep protecting the cards since his mistress died. Yue comes around in the night time; he has seen Sakura and knows who she really is. He protects the mansion at night time." Eriol explained.

Ying Fa smiled softly knowing Kero and Yue would be around to protect her reincarnation.

"Then I think it's time for me to return to Sakura, she needs me" she said softly, she bowed to Mei Lin, Tomoyo, Justin and Eriol, they bowed back.

Ying Fa then turned to Syaoran and studied him for a moment. "Xiao Lang, please no matter what happens in the future please protect Sakura with your life. She is me and I am her"

Syaoran nodded and looked serious as he looked at Ying Fa, "I will, no matter what I love her for her and for Ying Fa"

Ying Fa smiled and then turned to Sakura's body which lay there on the bed. She walked towards the body and then she glowed pink as Sakura's body glowed pink and Ying Fa flew into Sakura's body.

Sakura's skin colour returned to normal after a few minutes. They waited to see if she was going to wake up but nothing happened.

A/N: So did everyone like the chapter? Anyone want to guess what will happen when Sakura wakes up? What do you think Syaoran's (Xiao Lang's) reaction should be like once she wakes up and remembers? Let me know in a review please.

If anyone has ideas of what they want in this story please let me know in a review!

My review goal for this chapter in total is 33, so I need 10 reviews before I post the next chapter since this chapter is nearly 6,500 words.

Until next update…
