Chapter 1: I have found you
Everyone gets lost sometimes...and they need help finding their way back home again.
But, I don't know where I should go. I have no where called home, and heaven and hell I do not wish to go to. Yet, those are the rightful places for me.
I am ghost.
A spiritual being that doesn't belong on earth anymore. Yet, I have unfinished business here on earth. I do not wish to leave without knowing if my beloved his well. But, I simply do not wish to go to heaven or hell. I want to stay here on eath, even if no one can see me, hear me, speak to me.
I just want to be here with you. Even your reincarnation, just your soul. I have waited so many years for you, and you have never came. twenty years as a wondering lost ghost, not knowing where to go. And still, you have not been reborn, where are you?
I'm waiting for you.
Li Syaoran was the leader of the Li Clan, such a powerful group, yet he was only eighteen and he had such power. He was unmarried, yet many girls wanted him, but he simply didn't want any of them. He had been betrothed before to one of his distant cousins, Li Meiling.
She was an oddball, one that didn't inhereit any magical abilities at birth even though she was a Li. At first, Meiling had been head over heels for Syaoran, but they soon found out that they weren't meant for each other and that their personalities didn't suit to be wife and husband.
Yet, they were very close now.
"Xiaolang, Eriol's on the phone," Meiling called.
Syaoran picked up the phone werily. "Hello?"
"Tomoyo and I are on another case!" Eriol said excitedly over the line. "Do you want to come? You are always a great help!"
"Another case?" Syaoran sighed. "Where is it this time?"
There was a pause and then Eriol continued. "This time it's at Tokoyo Tower. The manager there says they have been seeing ghosts there, and they are positive it isn't just a joke. And everytime you come along, we always manage to catch them!"
"Fine, fine. When do we meet?" Syaoran asked tiredly.
"10 pm alright? See you at Tokoyo Tower and come prepared," Eriol said and hung up.
Syaoran placed the phone down again. He and Eriol had been best friends since they were ten, and Syaoran was now the leader of the Li Clan, and Eriol took on his family's tradition as a ghost catcher. Ones who caught spirits and returned them to where they belong, either hell or heaven. Since, ghosts weren't suppose to be on earth.
Syaoran had helped Eriol with many cases, and Eriol's girlfriend Tomoyo was always there taping the captures. Syaoran couldn't see the ghosts, neither could Eriol. But they could sense it with their magical abilities and sometimes the ghost's form would appear and they would catch it.
"Hey, is it another case?" Meiling asked from the living room.
"Yeah..." Syaoran replied.
Meiling came into his room. "Can I come?"
"You won't be any help."
"Yes I would...I can help watch your backs!" Meiling suggested. "You never know what ghosts may have up their sleeves!"
Syaoran frowned, he knew he wouldn't win an arguement with Meiling so he gave in. "Fine. Be ready at 10 pm though."
"Yeah!" Meiling cheered and quickly went to her room to get ready.
It was 9:20, and Syaoran decided
to pack up his sword and talismans and be prepared.
"Do you sense anything guys?" Tomoyo asked. She didn't have any magical abilities, so therefore she couldn't sense anything. Meiling was beside her, keeping a watchful eye around every corner.
They were just entering the tower, when the wind picked up ever so slightly.
"...I think I sense something..." Eriol whispered.
Syaoran nodded and summoned his sword. They didn't turn on any lights, since that would scare off the spirit.
"It's not on this floor for sure," Syaoran whispered back. "Look, the elevator is over there."
Meiling pressed the up bottom and they waited for the elevator door to open. When it did they all stepped in slowly, and glanced at the many floor bottons.
"Which floor?" Tomoyo asked.
Eriol pressed the very top floor botton. "It has to be up there..."
The elevator had a faint light at the top, and it made a humming sound as it moved upwards to the top of the tower. Suddenly, the light flickered out making Tomoyo and Meiling yelp slightly.
"And you were saying you wanted to watch my back," Syaoran rolled his eyes.
Meiling placed her hands on her hips. "Well, I am!"
The elevator stopped, and the doors slided open slowly revealing a dark empty room. The light from the moon shone down through the windows, giving an eerie blue glow to the room, but that was the only source of light.
"I sense that it is very close..." Syaoran mumbled.
"Watch it!" Meiling pushed him aside just as a flying pot came at him.
Syaoran stumbled a bit, "Thanks..."
"See! I did watch your back!" Meiling said proudly.
Eriol stuck a whole bunch of yellow papers with hard to read writing on it on everyone. These were kind of like Syaoran's talismans, but they prevented ghosts from going near them.
Syaoran shot a lightning bolt at the flying pot and it drop to the floor and shattered.
"You're going to have to pay for that," Eriol commented. "Looks expensive too."
"I don't care," Syaoran replied gruffly as he felt a cold light breeze glide past him. He flung a talisman at thin air, but surprisingly it stayed afloat.
"You got it!" Eriol declared and chanted a few words and a glowing gold circle surrounded the floating talisman.
A high pitching scream echoed the room, and a women's form was shown in the middle of the circle. Meiling hid behind Tomoyo, a bit frightened.
Eriol chanted more words. "Oh lost spirit, return to your rightful place. Hell or heaven, fate will pick." The ghost disappeared and the talisman dropped to the floor.
"That wasn't so bad," Tomoyo commented. "It was all caught on film too!" She said happily.
The four went back down the elevator and out of the tower. "That was an easy one, but we never know when there can be harder ones out there." Eriol remarked.
"Yeah...well good night I guess," Syaoran waved, along with Meiling.
Eriol and Tomoyo waved good bye also and went together another way. Syaoran and Meiling turned and walked back to the Li Mansion that was only a couple blocks away.
The Li's had a mansion in Japan, and a mansion in Hong Kong. Syaoran had liked Japan alot for some unknown reason, and so he decided that he would live here most of the time, and go back to the mansion in Hong Kong occasionally.
"I saved you from being smashed by a pot!" Meiling said all the way back home.
"Well, I was just tired so I didn't notice," Syaoran shot back.
Meiling frowned, "You were wide awake Xiaolang! So admit it! If I weren't there, you would have been bleeding dead now!"
"Right.." Syaoran sighed and they
entered the mansion, unaware of someone watching them.
Is it him? It must be him...the aura, the hair, the eyes, it is all the same as my beloved Shaoran. ...But who is that girl beside him? Are they in love...?
But, at least I have found him at last. I missed you so much...I miss your touch, your voice. How you stroke my hair...but you are not fully him. You have his soul, but not his memories.
But still, you are my Syaoran Li.
We will meet again some how Shaoran.
We will.
A girl around eighteen smiled to herself, as she walked by the Li Mansion. Or you could say, floated by. Her hands were clasped together, holding onto a cherry blossom. She had a calm smile, yet her eyes seemed slightly sad and distant...lost.
Syaoran blinked, and rubbed his eyes. And then, she wasn't there anymore.
He had been placing away his sword, and he had looked up and out of his window he saw a girl standing in front of the gates of the mansion. She seemed to have glowed ever so slightly, but he had not been able to make out her face clearly because of the shadows casted down by the streetlights.
*Just my imagination...* He shrugged
and changed into a pair of comfortable green pjs and slipped under his
covers.
My mother once told me, before she died of course, that everyone has another life after they die. She told me that when she was about to pass away. Mother said that I shouldn't be sad, because she would still be here on earth.
She said that it depends on how good you have been while you were alive. If you were extremely good, you would get reborn sooner. If you were a very bad person, it could take years and years, or even never and you would just be in hell.
Mother said that you would loose all your memories of your past life, but your soul would still be the same.
And the last words she said to me were that we might meet again.
I believe her. And I believe that
we will meet again too.
Syaoran's eyes snapped open. He noticed it was still dark, yet those words he heard seemed to clear and real as if he had been awake and listening to someone talk to him.
The voice had belonged to a girl's, a young girl's. Somehow, the voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't place a finger on it.
*It was just...a dream...* He thought
and slipped back into sleep.
