Notes: Second chapter! Whee! I just posted the first chapter literally
minutes ago, so I don't know of any reviews. Oh well, I'm writing another
chapter anyway.
Disclaimer: Why bother?
Chapter Two: Aruite Author: Ying Fa (note: NOT a self insertion fic)
"Syaoran kun, would you like to come to my house before you go home?" Sakura asked, trying to forget what had happened at lunch.
Syaoran smiled. "Of course, Sakura, I'd love to," he said as he took her hand in his. Sakura snuggled closer to him, lunchtime clearly forgotten.
"Ying Fa." Sakura heard Syaoran mutter.
She pulled away from him. "N-nani?!" she cried.
"Uh, 'Ying Fa', Chinese for cherry blossom!" Syaoran explained.
Sakura grunted and looked away. "This wouldn't have anything to do with Ying Fa chan, would it?" she asked grumpily.
"O-of course not, Sakura," Syaoran replied quickly. "That girl is annoying. Why would I-"
"Syaoran kun!" a familiar voice called from behind them. This soon resulted in Syaoran being glomped by Ying Fa. "Syaoran kun! There you are!"
Sakura could tell Syaoran was trying to look upset, but she knew he was faking it. He was happy to Ying Fa. "Konnichi wa, Cheung." He said.
"Oh," Ying Fa giggled. "Call me Ying Fa, please."
"Syaoran kun, Ying Fa chan." A thoroughly agitated Sakura said. "I'll be seeing both of you later." She began her walk home-alone.
"Kino-I mean, Sakura." Syaoran began.
"Xiao Lang, why be involved with such a silly girl?" Ying Fa whispered into his ear as she stroked the side of his face. "She's so weak, pathetic. You're too strong for her."
"Sakura is much more powerful than you think," Syaoran stated as he pushed Ying Fa away from him. "Someone who would say she is weak is a pathetic person themselves." He turned to see where Sakura had gone, but she was nowhere to be seen. She must have run home, Syaoran thought.

"Sakura, what's the matter?" Kero asked worriedly as his mistress dove under the covers of her bed. "You should be happy. That br-I mean Syaoran is back." A sob came from Sakura. "Aah, Sakura sama, this has to do with Syaoran, ne? I'm not very good at comforting people, but."
The doorbell rang once. "Sakura, shouldn't you answer the door?" The doorbell rang again, this time three times. "Sakura! It sounds urgent. You should get the door." Kero then heard the opening and shutting of the front door and then footsteps on the stairs. "Sakura! They've come into the house!" Kero whispered as he dove for cover in a nearby garbage can.
The door to Sakura's room was thrown open and the sound of heavy breathing was to be heard. "Sa-ku-ra," an all too familiar voice panted. "I ran.all the way.here."
"Leave me alone." Came Sakura's reply from her bed. "Get out of my house. You're trespassing."
"Li Syaoran?" the plushie-like guardian said in awe as he emerged from the garbage can. "You've certainly grown up."
"There's no time for that now," Syaoran said agitatedly as he knelt down by Sakura's bed. "Sakura, please, try to understand. I realized something. There's something wrong with Cheung."
Sakura's head appeared from under the covers of her bed. "I knew there was something different about her. But that doesn't mean I'm going to forgive you." She said stubbornly.
"Sakura, if you sense something wrong about Cheung, then you must be right. After all, you are the most powerful sorceress, ne? We have to find out where Cheung came from and what she's doing in Tomoeda." Syaoran said. "And I need your assistance to do that. Will you please help me?"
Sakura sat up and smiled. "I will forgive you, Syaoran kun, but promise to stay away from Ying Fa chan."
"It's a deal," Syaoran agreed as he held up his pinky finger. Sakura grinned as she remembered they're old "pinky swears" they used to do when they were younger. She locked pinkies with him and tried not to giggle. "Now, what do you think we should do if we want to find out more about Cheung?" Syaoran asked.
Sakura thought for a moment. "We could call your okaasan," she suggested.
"Okaasan?" Syaoran repeated. "Why? What would she have to do with Cheung?"
The sorceress looked away from Syaoran to her desk, her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she thought. "Ying Fa chan has a strange presence. A magical presence, almost. Li Yelan san knows a lot about sorcerers and their histories, so she may know something about Ying Fa chan."
"You can sense a magical presence from Cheung?" Syaoran said. "I don't feel anything! I guess I'm not used to you being so strong."
Sakura giggled as she got out of her bed and picked up her phone. "Hai," she said she handed Syaoran the phone."
He ended up pushing a lot of buttons on the phone, and Sakura wasn't sure why the phone number was so long. Then she realized it was a long distance call to Hong Kong. Finally, Syaoran lifted the phone to his ear. "This is Li Syaoran. I wish to speak to my okaasan. Arigatou." There was a silence, then Syaoran began to speak again. "I need to know if you have any background information on a sorceress, Cheung Ying Fa, from Hong Kong. Have you ever heard of her? Yes. Yes. I see. Thanks anyway. Goodbye." Syaoran turned the phone off and sighed.
"Any luck?" Sakura asked hopefully.
Syaoran shook his head. "Okaasan says there is no sorceress named Cheung Ying Fa. She's doesn't exist."
"No, she has to!" Sakura argued. "She's here, in Tomoeda. From Hong Kong."
"Did she give you any hints at all to who she might really be?" Syaoran asked.
Sakura thought for a moment. "Well, she did say it wasn't her first time in Tomoeda, but that might not mean anything."
There was a knock at the door. "Hai, douzo!" Sakura called.
Toya opened the door a little. "Just wanted to let you know I'm home, and I'm leaving for work in." He trailed off when he saw Syaoran sitting on his sister's bed. The door suddenly was shoved open as Toya cried, "NANI?! What's that brat doing in here?!"
"Oniichan! Calm down!" Sakura reasoned. "Please, Syaoran kun just got back from Hong Kong."
"Honestly, Sakura, I." Toya started rattling on about something, but Sakura had stopped listening.
"Oi, Syaoran kun," she whispered. "Toya has a strange habit of attracting people with magic. Perhaps he met Ying Fa chan when she was in Tomoeda before?"
Syaoran nodded. "Ask him," he urged.
".Are you even listening to me?" Toya demanded.
"A-ano. Oniichan, have you ever met a girl named Cheung Ying Fa?" Sakura asked.
Toya's eyes widened. "Ying Fa? How do you know about her?"
What a fun chapter! See? I'm an S+S fan! Wheehooo! *burns Ying Fa's picture* Sorry, but there will still be more Ying Fa to come! She's important, okay? Did I leave anyone in suspense? Is anyone reading this? If you want more, you have to review! *taunts readers with 3rd chapter* Not until you review! Oh yeah, incase you're wondering what happened to the first reviews, I had to do some changes on the 1st chapter so they somehow got deleted. La dee da! Bai Bai now!
~Next~ (POV of Sakura) I'm glad Syaoran kun is over Ying Fa chan! It only lasted for a few hours. Things are happening so quickly! Hmm, it seems like Toya knows something about Ying Fa chan. Maybe it's useful information. Hoeeeeee! Why won't he tell us? Find out next on Cardcaptor Sakura: Post-Manga Chapters!
