Ne ways on wit story.





"Because of their powerful and unbreakable love, an evil sorcerer cursed the two lovers; he cursed the man turning him into a wolf, only able to turn human when the last rays of the sun fade from the earth. The he and girl escaped his clutches setting out on a journey to find the only magician who would be able to reverse the spell. On their journey they face many dangers, both of the real world and that of the mystical.

In the end it was all for nothing because before they reached the magician, the evil sorcerer found them. Binding the boy with a powerful spell making him watch his wife, the one who held his heart drowned in the icy waters of the raging river. He tried everything to get free and save her but he wasn't strong enough. When she finally sank beneath the water the boy was dropped to the ground feeling empty. He and his wife were two halves that made one, without her he was nothing. He collapsed to his knees and cried mourning her death and new that there was nothing he could do to bring her back.her necklace clasped in his hands"

"The evil one, leaves laughing crazily knowing that he had won, if he couldn't have her love no one would. On the highest peak of the snow covered mountain in front of mourning boy, stood the good wizard, the one they had been in search of, watching the horrid scene unfold. Using his powers he told the boy he would be given a second chance to save her life and kill the sorcerer but not in this life time but next, if he accepted"

"He didn't waste a second in answering, for he would do anything to bring back his beloved. Smiling, the wizard started to chant the spell but before he was finished the evil one came back angrily and killed the wizard. Using the last of his breath, when the last rays of the sun left the earth he finished the spell. The boy vanished leaving the necklace behind and the wind covered it, protecting it from the evil sorcerer. But the wizard made a drastic miscalculation, instead of being reborn the next life.he wouldn't be reborn for many centuries to come.



The wind rustles the leaves, as the grade ten students listened intently to what their teacher was saying. The girls sighed dreamily at the end of the story glancing at their crushes but the boys snorted, thanking god it was finally over. One boy in particular was grateful it was over, "God you think it could be anymore boring?" he asked his twin sister in an irritated tone.

"You, Syaoran are no romantic. I don't think it was that bad" his sister answered smiling brightly as she took a picture to send to her best friend in England.

"God Ying Fa, your just like Ally" he snorted making his sister raise a brow at him but he ignored her.

"Listen class, I want you take a close look at this statue because this story was a very popular folk tale in Ancient China" Mr. Wong stated. When he noticed that he didn't have all their attention he added "And it will be on your test next week" making more then half the class groan.

"Mr. Wong, is that how the young prince really look?" a girl asked looking at the manly statue. Ying Fa looked at her friend Sari and sweat drop; she was sure a special case but was one of the best of friends.

"That's what he was portrayed to have looked like, but it is speculated that the young lovers were actually about the same age as all of you" he answered thanking god that at least one of his students were interested.

"Sari god, who would have thought you would be interested in a guys that's centuries old" Ying Fa chided her friend good naturally making Sari smile.

"I believe in this story. I believe that people were born destined to be with a specific person" a boy said from behind them making Syaoran clenches his fists but before he could utter a word his naïve sister beat him to it.

"Ken, what are you doing here?" Ying Fa gasped smiling at her secret boyfriend. Ken had grown into a very handsome young man that would make any girl swoon, including Ying Fa who was trying very hard not to blush.

"My school is also on a trip here and I saw you. Couldn't resist saying hello to the most beautiful," Ken answered flashing her a charming smile.

"You have too much charm for your own good, Ken" Syaoran said dryly taking his sister's hand. "Come on Ying Fa, the class is leaving us"

"Ah bye Ken, see ya over the week end" Ying Fa got out waving as Syaoran pulled her along, Sari following behind sighing. Ken waved back smiling, when they were out of site he frowned, one would have thought Syaoran would have lightened up over the years.





Ying Fa.





"God Syao, do you have to be so mean to Ken?" she asked shrugging his hold off. She glared at her brother as she brushed back her long, mahogany hair that curled at the ends.

"I don't like him and you know that" he replied running his hand through his messy brown hair, sometimes he wondered is his sister had any sense at all.

"You don't like anyone" she shot back angrily. "Come on Sari I don't want to be in the presence of my stupid brother anymore" she added grasping Sari's hand pulling her off, making the girl sigh. To her this was a very regular routine, especially when it had anything to do with a certain hottie.

"Stupid, Ken" Syaoran muttered walking slowly behind them, thanking god it was the end of the week.





Sakura.





She watched as her youngest daughter play around the large courtyard. It was funny how life flew by, she was now thirty-three and had six children, the twins, Syaoran and Ying Fa who were now fifteen, another set Xiao Rae and Rui Lin who were ten, and Lin who was seven and finally. "Mei Hua" she laughed holding her two-year-old daughter in her arms, chocolate brown eyes stared excited giggling.

"Um butter, butterfly. Fly, zoom, zoom (squeals) butterfly mammy," Mei Hua babbled pointing excitedly. She squealed when it flew close to her holding tightly unto Sakura's shirt.

"Yes sweetie" Sakura laughed her emerald eyes sparkling. She loved being a mother and a wife for she had the perfect family. She glanced at her watch and knew that the kids would be getting home soon, and then the weekend of arguments and fun would begin.

"Mammy, mammy, pretty, prit---eee" Mei Hua said raising her hand, which wasn't a good thing. Everyone around ducked taking cover, they loved Mei Hua but she didn't understand how dominant her powers were. And since Syaoran and Sakura had Rui Lin and Xiao Rae, everyone in the Li household knew to be prepared.

"Yeah zoom, zoom. Come on lets go inside, it's time for your snack" Sakura said turning for the doors. When she reached inside she sighed hearing loud talking in the hall, the children were home.

"Down, syao," Mei Hua squirmed; Sakura complied and placed her on the ground. She watched as Mei Hua's chubby legs carried her to where the children were.

"Sakura, I take it the children are home," Yelen said from behind, Sakura smiled nodding as they walked to meet them.

"I spoke with Xiao Lang, he should be on his way home at this very moment" Sakura said happily, she hated being apart from her husband. Yelen nodded looking over a note.

"I just got this invitation from the Hondas, they are inviting all of us to a Masquerade" Yelen said putting the note back in the envelope.

"That should be fun," Sakura nodded biting her bottom lip. Eriol, Tomoyo and Ally would like to go too, she would have to call them. "We'll see what Xiao Lang thinks," she added when they walked into the hall and saw Syaoran and Ying Fa having a staring contest.

"Mother, Syao is being mean" Ying Fa said not even turning around for she could feel her mother and grandmamma.

"I'm not, I don't think she should hang around with Ken. I don't like him mother" Syaoran replied making Sakura smile he was just like Touya and Syaoran.

"I really don't care what you like," Ying Fa said folding her arms. "Father will say yes, just you watch" she added smiling.

"Say, Yes to what?" asked a voice standing at the door, everyone's head turn towards the door at the smiling figure.

"Were you hiding your aura again?" Yelen asked softly, he had been doing that a lot lately wanting to surprise everyone.

"Father," five voices chorused happily, a little papa (from Mei Hua) mixed into it. Ying Fa was the first to hug him followed by the others, Syaoran stood proudly waiting to shake his fathers hand like a grown boy.

"Papa, Papa" Mei Hua shouted over and over smiling, this was the ritual of their family.

"Hello you to you too" Xiao Lang chuckled lifting her into his arms; she was so small that she could curl into a ball in his arms. "Now what would I say yes to?" he asked giving Sakura a kiss.

"Something between Ying Fa and Syaoran, I have no idea what is all about" she answered stepping back

"I see, well everyone needs to go change and finish homework. Have a snack and meet me into the training room at 5:30" Syaoran stated, this was something he did everyday with them. Everyone nodded getting his or her school bags. "If you and Syaoran don't settle this little feud then I will but I suggest that you two try," he added looking at his two oldest children, who nodded obediently before heading upstairs. "It's about Ken again, isn't it?" he asked when they disappeared around the corner.

"Yeah, he likes Ying Fa and she him but Syaoran doesn't approve" Sakura sighed softly. She didn't see anything wrong with the boy but Syaoran, Xiao Lang and Touya thought differently. (POOR YING FA what can a girl do?)

"I don't like him making such advances towards Ying Fa, she's too young" Xiao Lang said disapprovingly making Sakura raise her brow at him.

"And when did we fall in love?" she asked taking Mei Hua, Xiao Lang smiled down at her getting ready to give her another kiss.

"From since, we were ten" he answered softly giving her a soft kiss. "But we were meant to be" he added making Sakura laugh.

"Your impossible just like Touya and Syaoran. The poor girls"

"I think your right" Yelen said walking up. "It's cute that Ken likes Ying Fa but that's all it is," she added handing her son the letter.

"She needs to find that out herself, please just tell Syaoran not to be so protective. He's suffocating her and that's not good," Sakura said giving up, her husband and Yelen were better judging character then she was. He nodded walking into his office with them behind.

"All right, I'll talk to him later"





Ying Fa.





"Do you think I can tell my parents soon?" Ying Fa asked Ally, as she tried to finish up her homework.

"I don't know but it's likely" Ally answered adjusting her glasses, her blue hair up in a ponytail.

"I hope it's soon, but Syaoran won't stop being mean"

"Syaoran will never stop, you're his baby sister. Even if your just one minute apart" Ally laughed blushing, Ying Fa looked at her and could gage.

"I don't see how you could like my brother, he's so eh" Ying Fa said giggling at Ally's rosy face.

"Whatever Ying Fa, hey I got to go. Dad is going to teach me some new spells," Ally said looking in the mirror at her reflection.

"All right, I'll talk to you later" Ying Fa sighed getting off Ally's bed when she turned holding a letter. She packed up her bag having finished her homework just in time.

"For Syaoran, since as he never wants to drop by, he's so lazy" Ally said smiling mischievously, Ying Fa didn't say anything as she took the letter. Then an idea struck her and she smiled secretly. "What is it?" she asked cautiously.

"Well I was thinking, that if you came to the masquerade and distracted Syaoran. He wouldn't have time to bother me and Ken" Ying Fa answered loving her brilliant idea.

"I don't know, he'll be pretty angry when he finds out," Ally said softly shaking her head. Syaoran was too much like his father and that was a scary thing, no one wanted to get on his bad side.

"Come on Ally, please, pretty please" Ying Fa begged doing her best puppy eyes making Ally laugh.

"All right but you owe me big time" Ally answered making Ying Fa squeal jumping up as she hugged Ally tightly.

"I love you, you're the best. I'll make this up to you I promise," Ying Fa babbled opening the portal for home.

"I know, I'll see you next week Friday" Ally waved; Ying Fa nodded before stepping in the portal making it disappear.





Syaoran.





He waited patiently sitting on Ying Fa's bed, he knew where she was but didn't dare go there. He was about to leave when she popped into her room, wearing her training outfit, a bright smile on her face. "Syaoran what are you doing in my room?" she asked softly placing her bag on the floor.

"Dad said we have to get this problem resolved" he answered simply getting off her bed, even though they were twins he was at least a foot taller then her.

"All right, shoot" Ying Fa shrugged not losing her smile for she knew that she had a plan. He looked at his sister and knew she was up to something, heck they weren't twins for nothing.

"I won't be to hard on Ken but I still don't trust him. If I see him make a move towards you that I don't approve of, don't get expect me to just sit around" Syaoran said stubbornly folding his arms. It was taking a lot for him to say that but he didn't want his sister to be mad at him. Ying Fa sighed audibly knowing she couldn't stay upset with him for too long.

"Oh all right but remember what you said, and Ken won't make that kind of move towards me. He's not that kind of person," she stated proudly walking towards him, Syaoran had a perfect response but bit his tongue.

"Whatever" he shrugged running his hand through his hair, he would be ready for when he did something stupid.

"Great come on, lets go. I have to beat you," she said running out of the room, he smirked running after her.

"Hah, you wish" he yelled and called on dash mentally smirking. "See ya," he yelled speeding past her.

"Hey you cheater" Ying Fa yelled laughing. A maid gasps and held unto the vase she was cleaning when a gust of wind flew past her then another.



Elsewhere.later



"Hey you thief, get back here" a man yelled running out of his deli after a teenage boy who skidded around a dark ally corner. When the man rounded the corner, it was empty except for a black thing that look liked a dog but larger.

The animal turned its glowing silver eyes towards the man and growled menacingly showing its long white fangs, making the man stumbled back in fear before running off. The animal looked around making sure there was nothing or anyone in sight. When he was absolutely sure he started to transform into a human boy, his piercing silver eyes turning to a mixture of vivid dark blue with tiny streaks of silver.

He walked slowly over to his bag to put his clothes back on. After dressing he ran his hand through long black hair and sighed heavily hating this life, so many things need to be explained. "This will have to do," he whispered picking up the meat he was able to steal without getting caught. He picked up the bag pack he had carrying the only things that was his, before running off into the night. When he reached the edge of the street that led into the trees he slowed down into a walk eating his meal. He took out a fine gold chain that had a cherry blossom pendent made out of a diamond and fingered it longingly feeling empty inside. The way he had felt since the day he had found it by the river.
