Chapter Three: Naze?! Author: Ying Fa (I am much nicer than the Ying Fa in the story! ^_~)
"Hoe? Oniichan? You know about Ying Fa chan?" Sakura asked.
"Why do you want to know about her?" Toya asked, his eyes narrowing.
"Well, she's a new student at school, and you seem to know people who have. you know, magic. and she seems kind of different." Sakura explained.
Toya looked away. "Listen, Sakura," he began as he started walking away. "Stay away from Ying Fa. She doesn't have magic, but she is different."
Sakura tilted her head questioningly. "Hoe? Syaoran kun, what did he mean?" she asked. "Do you suppose he knows her?"
Syaoran was in his usual thinking position with his hand on his chin. "He's met her before, and he obviously had a bad experience with her. It must have been pretty bad, because he forgot that I'm still in your room."
"Demo, demo! He didn't tell us everything he knew!" Sakura exclaimed. "Maybe he knows something really important! We have to get him to tell us!" she said as she ran out the door. "Oniichan! Matte, matte, matte!" she shouted.
Syaoran didn't chase after her, but stayed in her room, pondering the Cheung Ying Fa situation.
"Don't shout so much, you monster!" Toya said to Sakura as she halted in the kitchen, trying to catch her breath.
"Oniichan! Please tell me what you know about Ying Fa chan. This is really important! Please?" Sakura begged. "I really need to know."
Toya sighed as he pulled his jacket on and opened the front door. "I'd rather not talk about it," he said. "It's really none of your business."
"Demo-"
"I have to go to work now," he interrupted. "Bai, Sakura." He said as he closed the door. He opened it again and called, "By the way, make sure that brat leaves now!"
n e x t m o r n i n g : : s c h o o l
"Ohayo gozaimasu, Tomoyo chan," Sakura greeted as she took off her hat.
"You had trouble sleeping last night, ne?" Tomoyo commented.
Sakura nodded. "Oniichan knows something about Ying Fa chan, but he won't tell me. It could be really important."
"Where's Li kun?" Tomoyo asked. "Didn't you walk to school with him?"
Sakura shook her head. "No one answered the door when I stopped by his apartment. He's not even here yet," she noted. "I thought he might have left early or something."
The door slammed opened and a very stressed and tired looking Syaoran barged into the room. "Ohayo, Sakura. Ohayo, Daidouji." He grumbled as he took his seat.
"Syaoran kun, you're eyes are bloodshot!" Sakura pointed out. "What's wrong? Were you up all night researching Ying Fa chan?"
Syaoran nodded sleepily. "But no luck. It's like she doesn't even exist."
"What are you talking about?"
Sakura, Syaoran, and Tomoyo jumped three centimeters in their seats from the shock of hearing Ying Fa right behind them.
"A-ano. Do you know if there's a test in Japanese today, Ying Fa chan? I thought there was and Syaoran tried to find out, but he said it was like it didn't exist." Sakura laughed nervously.
"That's because it doesn't," Ying Fa said as she sat down. "We have no test in Japanese today."
"Oh, good, but I studied just in case," Sakura laughed as she glanced at Syaoran and saw that he was glaring at Ying Fa.
Ying Fa didn't even seem to notice what was going on. She was just looking through her backpack. She smiled a little, then said (without looking up), "Syaoran kun, why are you looking at me like that?" her voice was disturbingly calm. "Hate is like a virus that weakens the soul." She suddenly looked up and stared Syaoran strait in the eyes. "I want you to hurt Sakura," she said quietly. "Hurt her, Syaoran, or I will."
Syaoran's eye began to twitch. He stood up and Sakura noticed that his hands were clasped into fists, shaking. "What did you say?" he asked through clenched teeth.
"Sit down, Syaoran kun," Ying Fa said loudly and went back to looking through her bag. "Terada sensei will be here soon."
"Never say anything like that again, Cheung." Syaoran demanded quietly.
"Syaoran kun, you shouldn't talk like that," Ying Fa said, this time louder. "It sounded threatening." People were beginning to stare at them and wonder what was going on.
"Stop it, Cheung. I'm trying to talk to you. Don't be so loud." Syaoran whispered, still standing, his hands shaking.
"Why shouldn't I talk loudly? I have nothing to hide." Ying Fa said, still looking in her backpack, and still talking loudly. "And what do you want me to stop? I haven't been doing anything."
"That's enough," Sakura said as she grabbed Syaoran's shoulders. "Sit down, Syaoran kun, please." She said quietly.
"You didn't hear what she said, did you?" Syaoran asked. "When she looked up at me."
Sakura looked puzzled. "Demo, Syaoran kun. Ying Fa chan didn't say anything."
w a l k i n g h o m e f r o m s c h o o l
Syaoran ran his hands through his hair. "Why didn't anyone else hear it? She looked straight at me and said it. How could no one else hear?" he asked. "There is definitely something wrong with her."
"Syaoran kun." Sakura began.
"Stay far away from her, Sakura," Syaoran warned. "She's. I don't know. evil. She wants to hurt you."
"Syaoran kun."
Syaoran stopped and turned to Sakura. He cupped her face in his hands, stroking her hair lightly with his fingers. "Sakura," he whispered. "I don't want anything to happen to you." He drew her into a hug. "I care about you so much, I don't know what I would do if something were to happen to you."
"S-syaoran kun." Sakura stuttered. "It's okay. I can protect myself from Ying Fa chan. Don't worry over me."
Syaoran pulled away from her and they continued walking. "I know." He murmured. "But I can't help it. I'm going to worry about you."
They walked in silence all the way to Syaoran's apartment. "Bai, Sakura. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Bai bai, Syaoran kun." Sakura called.
I love you, Sakura, Syaoran thought as he closed the door to the apartment. He walked the flight of stairs to his room and opened the door. He was surprised to see that it was unlocked. Did I leave it open this morning? He thought as he shut the door. He nearly shouted with shock when he saw a figure standing in the living room of his apartment.
"Who are you?" he asked. "How did you get in my house?"
"Hmm, you live by yourself," a female voice said. "How. convenient."
"Cheung?!" Syaoran exclaimed. "Get out! This is my room!"
"Syaoran," she chuckled. "You have so much courage. Too bad it won't do you any good."
Syaoran began to back away. "You need help, Cheung," he stated.
Ying Fa smiled. "You're right. I need help. I need help with something. and I think you can assist me."
"Syaoran kun certainly is worrying about me a lot," Sakura sighed as she walked away from the apartment building. "I wish he wouldn't. It's not like I'm in danger." She almost laughed. "Eriol kun said I'm the most powerful sorceress now. I could see into the future if I wanted, but I don't want to. I can sense when things are wrong, though." Sakura suddenly spun around and looked back at Syaoran's apartment building. "Hoe? Is someone with magic in there, or is it just Syaoran?" she asked herself. "I should go back to make sure everything is okay."
"Get away from me!" Syaoran shouted as he tried to open the door, but for some reason it was jammed.
Ying Fa laughed. "You will find that you can't escape," she said as she approached him.
"Get away from me, Cheung!" Syaoran shouted as loud as he could. "Someone help me!"
"Yell all you want. No one will help you, Syaoran. But you can make things easy by surrendering now before I have to force you," Ying Fa told him.
Syaoran asked, "What do you want from me?"
"I want." Ying Fa was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Syaoran kun?" came the familiar voice of Sakura. "Are you all right? Your buzzer wasn't working so I just-"
"Sakura! Help me!" Syaoran yelled.
Ying Fa scowled and turned away from Syaoran as he huddled near the door.
"Release!" Sakura whispered to her key, then held it in her hands and watched it transform into the staff. She lightly tapped the doorknob with the end of the staff. Syaoran tumbled out of the room, his eyes wide.
He pointed into his room. "C-cheung," he stuttered. "She's in there."
Sakura carefully stepped into the room and peered into the living room. "Where was she?" she asked.
"Just standing right there in the." Syaoran trailed off. "She's gone now."
"Syaoran kun, are you sure-"
"Yes, I'm sure she was there. She said." he paused to wipe off his forehead, ".crazy things. I would have done something, but it was like. I couldn't. She's insane or something. Something doesn't work right in her head."
Sakura felt his forehead. "Syaoran kun, you feel a little warm. Are you sure you're okay?" she asked worriedly. "Why don't you just lay down for a while."
Syaoran shook his head violently. "No, I'm not going in there again. Cheung might come back." Oh my God, I sound so pathetic, he thought. Sakura has to protect me. it should be the other way around.
"Well, you certainly can't stay at my house," Sakura stated, her arms folded across her chest.
"I know, I know." Syaoran mumbled. "I'll figure something out." He leaned back against the wall. "We really need to figure out who Ying Fa really is."
Sakura shrugged. "I don't know, Syaoran kun. Maybe she really is just some crazy girl, like Oniichan said. We shouldn't worry about it so much."
Syaoran shook his head. "Maybe you're right," he sighed. "But we should still look into it. Ask Kero or Yue about her. Maybe they know something."
"Un," Sakura agreed.
Whee! Fun, fun. I'm having a good time writing this, although I usually write humor stories, so it's kind of hard. Gomen for any spelling or grammatical errors you find in this. First of all, I'd like to clarify that I made up Cheung Ying Fa so she's my character, just to clear up any confusion. Okay, so I have some questions for any readers there might be out there:
1~ Do I spend too much time on author's notes?
2~ Should the chapters be longer, shorter, or stay the same?
3~ Is the storyline moving too fast, slow, or just right?
4~ What do you want to see more of in the future?
5~ What's your favorite chapter?
6~ Any other suggestions!
As usual, don't forget to review! Yay! Well, it's time to go! Bai bai!
~Next~ (POV of Sakura) Yue san and Kero chan don't know anything about Ying Fa chan! This is beginning to look hopeless! But Yue san recommends I ask Eriol, so I have to call him. And Syaoran kun is staying with Yamazaki kun? Hoeeeee! Why is Ying Fa chan asking about Oniichan?!
