Chapter 14
You Weren't Supposed to Know
***********
"Welcome to my humble abode Li Xiaolang." The woman said as she led Syaoran out of an endless maze and into a clearing. Syaoran gasped as he saw a huge white granite structure built on a solid marble foundation. Its design rivaled the most beautiful Renaissance structures. As he stared open mouthed at the building, the woman took his hand and led him inside.
As Syaoran recovered from his stupor, he turned to her and narrowed his eyes. "Who are you?" He demanded. "And how do you know so much about me?"
The woman looked at him and smiled. "I know many things Xiaolang. I have witnessed the humble beginnings and the recent demise of your clan. You may call me Apsu."
"What! You lie!" Syaoran yelled. "My clan is nowhere near demise and I intend to make sure of it!"
"I have no reason to lie to you Xiaolang. But if you insist on not believing me, I will show you." As Apsu waived her hand, a nearby screen flickered to life. Pictures of the moments before Kiryle's assault appeared.
For the next thirty minutes, Syaoran stared at the screen in disbelief as he witnessed clansmen and family get cut down by mysterious beings. Nobody was spared in the devastation. Those who fought were gruesomely burnt and those who hid were hunted down and killed. As the attack ended and the screen turned black, Syaoran stood speechless.
"No..." Syaoran muttered as he began to recover from his shock. "Okaa-san...Fuutie...Faren...Xiefa...Feimei..." He turned to Apsu and snarled with fury glowing in his eyes. "WHO DID THIS!"
"Your clan was attacked by someone named Kiryle. He will stop at nothing to get what he wants."
"He's going to pay!" Syaoran said vehemently. His normally placid amber gaze burned with barely controlled rage.
"I have a proposition for you Xiaolang. I will help you obtain revenge on the one you seek. He was once my servant but was corrupted by the thought of power. But there is a catch."
Syaoran didn't speak and waited for her to finish talking. His mind was filled with images of how painful a death he could make Kiryle suffer. His ideas ranged from simple decapitation to ancient Chinese torture. A malicious smile appeared on his lips as he thought of the last idea, but he was shaken from his revere by Apsu's voice.
"I can't return you to your original body. It was unfortunately crushed beyond retrieval."
"What! So this isn't my body?" Syaoran exclaimed as he gestured towards himself. Apsu shook her head. "So I'm dead."
"Not exactly. While it is true that you were crushed, I managed to save your essence before it disappeared. We are now in between the living realm and the black beyond."
Syaoran's eyes widened at the revelation. The million tons of rubble crumbling on him actually happened. And now he didn't have a body to use.
"What can you do? And why did you save me?"
Apsu looked him over once before smiling. "As for your first question, I can provide you with a spare body. There is one on the planet that has almost the same spiritual energies of your old one. However, you must share it with the previous owner."
"WHAT! Does that mean I ha-"
"As for your second question," Apsu stated ignoring Syaoran's outburst, "it wasn't your time to die. You have many things you still must do before you can leave the mortal coil. Terrible things will happen if you do not fulfill the tasks set before you."
Syaoran raised an eyebrow. "And what might these many things compose of? Last time I checked, I have no family, only one friend who truly knows who I am, and facing someone whose power is greatly beyond mine."
Apsu chuckled. "Don't be pessimistic Xiaolang. I can assure you that with Clow's reincarnate on your side, things will go much more smoothly. His memory of the past may be muddled, but he is still Clow Reed. Trust in him."
Syaoran was about to reply, but Apsu cut him off. "As for your family, your eldest sister is still alive. She was taken captive when Kiryle attacked your home."
"Fuutie...is still alive?" Syaoran said just above a whisper. The dark shadows in his eyes receded partially and made way for amazement. A second later, the look vanished and fiery determination took its place.
"What will I have to do?" His voice was soft but Apsu could detect a will of iron behind it. "And how much time do I have?" "The first thing is for you to get reacquainted with your new host. It will be his body that you are using after all."
"Reacquainted? You mean I know this person already?"
Apsu nodded. With a wave of her hand, a figure started to materialize across the room. A bright white light engulfed the room and forced Syaoran to shield his eyes. After a minute, the light disappeared and Syaoran's jaw dropped as he recognized who was standing there.
"You're not serious! I have to merge with him?" Syaoran yelled incredulously at Apsu who was looking bemused at his outburst.
"Wha- where am I? I must be drunker than I thought..." A voice interrupted Syaoran's ranting. The figured turned towards him and grinned. "Hey man! I was wondering where you were for a few days."
As Syaoran stared slack jawed at his impromptu roommate, the latter was taking his time admiring his surroundings. His cerulean eyes wandered around until they landed on someone else at the far end of the room and widened. Syaoran traced his line of site to Apsu who was standing there with her arms crossed and an eyebrow arched. Looking back at his roommate, Syaoran could of sworn he saw drool. He snickered at what he was seeing.
"W-Wow!" Harry exclaimed and then turned to Syaoran. "You have more skill than I thought. I gotta give you props for this one man. No doubt this is where you have been for the past few days?"
At Syaoran's nod, Harry's eyes widened even more. "And all this time I thought you were gay! I mean you didn't even pay attention to the looks most of the girls were giving you in school."
Syaoran snorted. "I had someone on my mind." He said simply. Harry's eyes once again traveled to where Apsu was standing and nodded dumbly.
"I see what you mean," he said softly. "I wouldn't pay attention to any of the girls at school either if I was in your position."
"Well we were in a rather...HEATED discussion before you dropped in. I believe the subject was how to use my body for our cause." Syaoran said with a smirk.
Harry grinned like an idiot at the last statement. "Geez. I guess I have a few things to learm from you eh?"
"You have much to learn from him." Apsu spoke for the first time. A small smile adorned her face at the previous exchange. Harry turned to her startled after hearing her voice for the first time.
"Hey! You don't know about my performance! I could very well outla- " Harry started to protest but was cut off.
"Xiaolang's body was perfect. Unfortunately, we now need a replacement." Apsu said ignoring Harry's indignant shouting. Her eyes roamed over the newcomer and he squirmed under her examination. Harry nervously shot Syaoran a glance and was surprised to see amusement instead of jealousy.
"Aren't you angry?"
"Why should I be?"
"Because she is replacing you with me! Aren't you even a little bit upset?" Harry shouted in confusion. Syaoran bit his lip to keep from laughing outright. As Harry continued to gawk at his roommate, he didn't hear Apsu come up to him until she was right next to him. With one swift motion, she reached up and closed his jaw that was threatening to fall to the floor.
"Yes. You shall do nicely." Apsu said as she walked back to the pedestal in the middle of the room. At Harry's bewildered expression, Syaoran couldn't hold in his mirth anymore. He fell on the floor holding his sides in laughter.
"Hey! I don't see anything funny about this situation!" Harry shouted at Syaoran who was still rolling on the floor. "If I were you, I would be pissed! And to think that you've only seen her for the past few days, and she is already discarding you. I didn't know she was THAT kind of woman!"
Syaoran's humor died down a bit and he got up slowly. "I wouldn't insult the goddess of fate by calling her a whore if I were you." He said while sneaking a glance at Apsu who looked amused at the whole scene. She coughed to get Harry's attention.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Apsu, the seer of fates and destinies." She said with a regal tone. Harry gaped at her dumbstruck. His mouth opened and closed like a fish but no noise came out. After a minute of no response, Syaoran went over and slapped him on the back of the head.
"Ow! What did you do that for?"
Syaoran rolled his eyes and pointed towards Apsu.
"Oh... Well you're joking right? I mean there's no such thing as fate or destiny. Just because I'm a little drunk does not mean I'll fall for that crap."
"Pity. I'll just have to prove it to you then." Apsu stated simply. "Your full name is Harry Miguel Venglan. You were born on August 24th, 1984 in Los Angeles California. Your parents are divorced since 1995 and you lived with your mother until you decided to come to Japan. Your blood type is O and you have never liked beer. You prefer hard liquor or namely Captain Morgan's Spice Rum. Tomorrow is the anniversary of your breakup with your first girlfriend, which happened in 1996. You skipped school for a week because of your embarrassment when a certain Amy Hodges turned you down in 9th grade. Do I need to go on?"
Harry simply stared at her with amazement as she listed one fact after another. Most of these facts he never disclosed outside of his family, and here was some woman he had never seen before that knew most of his secrets. "H-how? How do you so much about me?" Harry demanded. His response was a knowing look and smile.
"Just believe her." Syaoran said simply. "It makes the transition go a lot more smoothly."
"Ok... let's just say you are who you say you are. What am I doing here?"
"Do you believe in magic?"
"Sure Li. It's mostly illusions though. I know a few card tricks. It's been a while so I'm a little rusty on the presentation."
"No you baka! I'm talking about spells and elements. Magic is embedded into nature and can be used by people who channel it correctly." Syaoran explained. Harry looked at him like he was crazy.
"Right..." Harry commented dryly. "And I suppose you can set me on fire or throw bolts of lightning."
Syaoran grinned at the last comment. "Of course. Those are among the basic spells that are widely known." He looked over to Apsu who nodded and chanted something under her breath. Instantly, Harry's hair was lit on fire.
"Ahhh!! Put it out! Put it out! I believe you!" Harry shouted as he ran around the room. Grinning evilly, Apsu doused the fire but also drenched Harry from head to toe. He looked up resignedly and looked at Apsu with a mixture of fear and awe.
"So what you said before was true! And I called you a.oh crap."
Syaoran snickered under his breath and Harry glared at him. "And you let me walk right into it!"
"That's enough." Apsu admonished. "You need to know why you are here. I think it'll be easier if I just show you."
As Apsu put a finger to Harry's forehead, images came crashing into his mind. They were memories but of him. They were of his roommate.
We have two new transfer students. One from America and one Hong Kong. Please welcome Harry Venglan and Shaolang Li.
I get to tutor Sakura? Hmm... I guess it couldn't hurt to be her friend. I just wish I could be more.
The reason I'm here is because the elders sent me here to protect the Card Mistres.
We shall meet again Li Xiao Lang!
What have you done to my sister you bastard!
No matter what happens, I promise I'll bring him back.
I promised her something. And now, I'm making sure I keep it.
As the last image faded from his mind, Harry looked shocked at his roommate who was standing there looking perfectly fine.
"But I thought you died!"
"Technically, I am dead. My body was crushed beneath all that rubble."
"But you're standing right there!"
This time Apsu answered him. "We are in the place between the realm of the living and the great beyond. This is Li Xiaolang in spirit. For him to return, he needs a body and unfortunately his own was destroyed. Now we only have one option." She stared at him expectantly.
"Whoa wait a minute! You mean that you want to use my body to bring Li back from the dead?" Harry asked shocked at the revelation. Seeing his dead roommate apparently solid before him was surprising enough. The news that they needed his body as a vessel proved a little much.
"It's for the good of the future timeline." Apsu stated simply. "None of this was supposed to happen. I sent creatures after Xiaolang in attempts to make him stronger and more fitting to assume his role. I wasn't counting on being stabbed by one of my servants."
"Yeah well shit happens." Harry said. "So if Li uses my body, what happens to me?"
"You will still be there. This is not permanent, and he will leave after this situation is taken care of. But in the mean time, think of this as having a co-pilot helping you navigate. Li has outstanding magic and fighting skills and you have your so-called charm that you flaunt so readily. Now put those together and what do you have?"
She was baiting him and he took it. "Wow. Think of all the girls that I could get! You got yourself a deal!" Harry exclaimed excitedly. Apsu shook her head bemused as she nodded in Syaoran's direction. He nodded back and stepped right next to Harry.
"Don't worry, you won't feel a thing." Apsu reassured as she saw the anxious faces of the two. She took a hand of each boy and proceeded to chant in a language unknown to either. She then suddenly raised Harry's hand and a white light engulfed both of them. When it disappeared, only Harry was visible.
'Did it work?' Harry thought to himself. He was startled when a voice answered him back.
'It appears so.'
'Ah! You're in my head!'
'Well what did you expect? It wasn't called a mind merger for nothing.'
"If you two are quite through," Apsu interrupted their mental argument, "there are more pressing matters to attend to." Syaoran/Harry nodded.
"As we speak, the Card Mistress is attempting to go to Hong Kong and hunt down Kiryle. She isn't completely healed yet. You must convince her otherwise or there might be dire concequenses."
"We'll go now. How do we get back?"
"Don't worry about that. I'll handle it. Good luck." With a wave of her hand, Syaoran/Harry disappeared. "You'll need it."

A/N: Sorry for the LONG wait on this chapter. Inspiration strikes at the most unusual places. This chapter was more of an informational outlet than anything else. Sorry if it was a little boring. Lots of fierce battle in the next few chapters. And definitely another update before Christmas. Thanks for reading and reviewing.
