Chap. 2: "Running into each other"
Author's note: thank you to all those who reviewed LOL and I know that the fist part might be a little confusing but don't worry it'll get clearer as we go along. And I know that I didn't want to get put out two stories at the same time but I have some that I want to put out and I can't unless I get these two out of the way first.
Ne ways on wit the story.
"It seems to me that Ying Fa and Syaoran have worked things out," Sakura said softly resting against her husband's shoulder. They were all at the beach hoping to have a couple of hours to themselves.
"Yeah it's a good thing because they share a tight bond" Xiao Lang replied as they kept a close eye on the kids who were in the water.
"Are we going to the Honda's party?" Sakura asked softly waiting for Ying Fa to return to from the gift shop.
"Yeah they want to see all of us, they claim we've been hiding for too long" he answered kissing her softly on the neck making Sakura sigh happily.
"Syaoran?" she whispered closing her eyes momentarily but knew she didn't have to worry because Syaoran (the son) and Wei were with the children. "Would you allow Ying Fa to marry Ken if she wanted?" Syaoran paused kissing her wondering where that came from.
"I don't know, he would have to prove himself worthy of my daughters hand to both me and Syaoran, and no doubt your brother and the elders," he answered softly.
"In that case she'll never marry," Sakura sighed making him chuckle.
Ying Fa.
She waited patiently as the man ran up her bill, holding the bag with juice and sun block. She fixed the strap of her two-piece pink bathing suit top and sighed wondering when Ken was going to show up. She glanced behind her, her gaze scanning the deli looking briefly at everyone before she handed the guy her credit card.
"Thank you" she smiled picking up her bag before walking off. A boy looked around the store before stuffing a bag of chips and a small drink in his bag not noticing that he was being watched.
"Hey you boy" the cashier yelled when he headed for the door, he looked back before running for it. Pushing through the door, he bounded down the steps and into the crowd ignoring the man's frantic yell. Not looking where he was going, he collided with someone sending them both flying to the ground. He looked down only to see angry emerald eyes staring into his dark blue ones.
"Sorry" he mumbled getting up quickly before running off leaving a bewildered Ying Fa. She rubbed her back painfully knowing she had some scrapes, 'he had some beautiful eyes' she thought absently than shook it off.
"Idiot" she mumbled angrily picking up her stuff when she came across a breathtaking gold chain. She picked it up and shuddered involuntarily taking a closer look at it, it was so very detailed that she knew it was expensive and old.
"Hey are you okay?" the same cashier asked bending down; Ying Fa quickly hid the chain for reasons unknown to her. She nodded standing up with his help; she dusted herself off taking her bag from him. "I'm sorry about that, did you get a good look at his face?"
"No not really, I was stunned when I fell" she answered only able to remember his gorgeous and deep dark blue eyes and she was sure she saw a tint of silver in them.
"I see, well thank you," he said before walking off, she sighed heading back to her parents. 'What am I going to do with the necklace?' she thought biting her lip. 'how would she explain to her parents about it' simple if they didn't ask, she wouldn't tell them.
"It's about time you got back, did you get lost?" Syaoran asked looking at his sister who was deep in thought. She looked at him and nodded no when he noticed the bruise on her leg. "How did that happen?" he asked referring to it, Ying Fa looked down and saw the bruise.
"Some guy ran into to me and I fell," she answered absently sitting down.
"Are you all right?" Sakura asked worriedly taking a better at it, but her daughter again only nodded. "Ying Fa are you sure your all right?" she asked again looking closely at Ying Fa's face; she had a far away expression on it.
"Yes mother I'm fine, it just hurts a little" Ying Fa answered smiling; she would go to a jeweler's and see if it was stolen and how old it was.
"Let me heal it" Sakura said putting her hand over it, she looked around to make sure no one was looking before she proceeded. They weren't allowed to use their powers outside the property because of photographers, that's why they had to bind Mei Hua's powers out of the house.
"Thank you mom" she smiled making Sakura smile as she brushed Ying Fa's hair off her face. "Where's father?"
"He's in the water with the kids," Sakura answered when she caught sight of Ken, whom she didn't know would be joining them.
"Hello Li-san" Ken said smilingly, Sakura smiled giving Syaoran a warning look.
"Hello Ken, how are you doing?" she asked when he sat beside Ying Fa making her blush prettily.
"Wonderful, auntie said hello" Ken answered when Ying Fa put the chain in her purse, happy that Ken had finally showed up.
"OH tell her I said hello," Sakura smiled Xiao Lang walked up with the rest of their kids; he looked surprised to see Ken but Sakura was the only one who saw this in his eyes. He looks questioningly at Sakura who smiled, telling with out words that she didn't know.
"Hello Li-san" Ken said softly not looking Xiao Lang in the eye. Xiao Lang nodded sitting the kids down.
"Mother Ken and I are going for a walk," Ying Fa said getting as she took Ken's hand. Sakura nodded and they walked off leaving all of them in silence.
"I don't trust him walking with her alone," Syaoran complained folding his arms. He wished Kero were here so he could spy on them but Kero was in Tokyo with his grandpa.
"She'll be fine" Sakura said resting her hand on her son's shoulder.
In the woods.
The boy slowed to a walk looking up at the rays of the sun coming through the leaves of the large trees. Stealing food was getting too dangerous; he needed to find another way of getting it. And he still needed to find her before it was too late but he knew not how, wasn't he supposed to be born close to her? They were already supposed to be together but they weren't. He sat on the ground and leaned against the trunk of a huge Oak trying to relax. Taking the chips and drink out he opened the bag and started to eat looking for the chain, when he couldn't find it he started to get worried then frustrated. And finally when it occurred to him that he had lost it anger built up in him. "NO, Jamie you idiot" he growled throwing the bag away as he raked his hand through his hair, how the hell did he lose the only thing he had of her.
He got up and started to think about where he could have lost it, then it hit him and he halted. "The girl" he whispered remembering her face, if he weren't in such a damned hurry he wouldn't have lost the necklace. "NO worries, I will simply have to get it back all I have to do is find her" he spat venomously, he didn't have the curse for nothing.
Next day.
Sari walked quickly to catch up with her best friend who was bent on going to the jewelers. "Ying what's up? I thought we were going to the movies and then shopping?" she asked out of breath.
"We are but I have to make a quick stop first" Ying Fa answered, her bodyguards not for behind. She held her purse close to her as they came to the store.
"Don't you think you have enough jewelry?" Sari asked sarcastically placing her hands on her hips.
"I'm not buying anything I just want them to check something out for me" Ying Fa answered when the walked into the store. Sari quickly walked off to look at all they had and what was new while Ying Fa went to a clerk.
"How may I help you?" the clerk asked looking Ying Fa over closely.
"Hi I would like to have an estimate on a very precious jewelry" Ying Fa answered taking it out of her bag. She opened the golden velvet bag, took it out and placed it on counter missing when the man's eyes bulged out looking at the pendent. "I think it's crystal but I'm not sure" she added oblivious, a man next to her in his late fifties looked at the pendent then Ying Fa and finally the greedy clerk.
"I see, I thinks it crystals too probably not worth that much are you looking to sell it?" he asked softly.
"Nope, I don't want to"
"But surely a child is more interested in money" the clerk pushed on smiling as he picked up the chain.
"NO I don't have any problem with money," Ying Fa answered eyeing the man closely. "Since as there is nothing you can do for me I'll take my business someplace else"
"Ahem, ma'am if I'm not mistaken I would say that your crystal is a diamond" Ying Fa looked at him not believing.
"Are you sure?" she asked taking the chain back from the clerk.
"Certainly, is it a family heirloom?" the man asked smiling, Ying Fa nodded yes handing it to him to see.
"I don't know exactly how old it is but would really like to know" she said when Sari walked up.
"My lord, this is old. I've never seen anything like it before" the man gasped looking closer at it as he moved it closer to see the scribbling on the back. Taking the magnifying glass off the counter he used it to see the scribbling on the back "To my beloved blossom" he read before putting back down the magnifying glass.
"Hey Ying Fa did Ken give that to you?" Sari teased hearing the word blossom; Ying Fa shook her head no.
"How old do you think it is?" she asked the man, whose name she still did not know.
"It's very hard to say but if I'm right, I would say that your necklace here is at least a couple of centuries old" he answered making Ying Fa gasp. 'now I really have to find who it belongs to' she thought knowing that that boy had stolen it.
"Thank you so much" Ying Fa said when the man handed it back to her. "I don't even know your name"
"It's Wei Dong, I'm a professor at Hong Kong University and you are?"
"Li Ying Fa, I must be going. Thank you again" Ying Fa said before she and Sari left leaving the man and the clerk gaping. A figure a few paces behind watched them head for the door, he pushed his hands deep into his pockets frowning deeply. He made sure to keep his distance having felt how much power she possessed and make sure to keep his hidden. He also knew that she had guards following her from a distance 'who could this girl be?' he thought making sure not to lose sight of her.
"Can we go shopping now?" Sari pleaded looking all the stores they passed. Ying Fa sighed nodding okay because she had to pick up something for her and Kens date tonight. "Wonderful" Sari exclaimed clasping her hand around Ying Fa's as she dragged her over to Gucci.
Why do girls love shopping so' he groaned flowing them a few paces behind, he glanced at the guards and new that they hadn't found him suspicious yet. Maybe he would be able to find something out, or how he would be able to get his necklace back.
"So where are you guys going? And does Syaoran know that you two have been going out for two months?" Sari asked looking for her size in a skirt.
"No one knows yet, I don't like lying to my parents but I know dad and Syaoran wouldn't agree nor would Touya and grandmamma," Ying Fa answered making Sari laugh. "It's not funny" she growled.
"Yes it is, you have it bad" Sari got out through laughter neither noticing the boy who was ease dropping on their conversation. "SO anyway where are you two going?"
"To the carnival" Ying Fa stated her eyes brightening she loved carnivals. "I love Ken so much, I think I fell in love with him when we first met he was so shy" Jamie wanted to gag, could she get any mushier.
"I wish I had someone like that, you're so lucky. I guess you guys will be going when it opens"
"Yeah, I hate it though because dad is sending the guards with me even though I don't need them" Ying Fa whined knowing that they weren't far behind.
"Chill girl he ain't want no one to steal ya that's all" Sari replied as they headed to the changing rooms. "Besides your going to have fun to night, remember to tell me if he's a good kisser," she added making Ying Fa blush. "I can't believe ya'll two haven't kissed yet"
"We're waiting for the right time" Ying Fa laughed thinking of how it would feel. Jamie decided to leave right then not wanting to hear any more. He knew where she was going and he would be able to find her with his keen sense of smell 'strawberries' he thought heading out of the store to find his next meal. Who would have thought he was would be spending his sixteenth birthday on the streets but he never really had a family to spend it with anyways, only foster homes.
Sakura.
She jumped back defending her self from Syaoran's attacks. Xiao Lang watched amusedly as his wife and son battled it out in the courtyard. "She's now having trouble at against his attacks" Yelen observed in a pleased manner as the younger kids watched in glee waiting for their turn.
"I know, he'll make a strong leader" Xiao Lang replied proudly, Yelen nodded knowingly. She and the elders knew that Xiao Lang and Sakura's joining was the best thing that had happened to the clan in ages now all they had to do was find suitable matches for the children so that their clan would grow stronger. She knew right now the only problem they were having was Ying Fa, the elders wouldn't approve of her marrying Ken. And they were sure that Syaoran would marry Ally and if they were lucky they would be able to get a union between Lin and Tomoyo's younger son. And then there were was Yukito's son and daughter who would inherit powers from Yue.
"Better watch it mother" Syaoran warned playfully making Sakura laugh watching his movements.
"I am trust me" Sakura replied when their swords clinging sound echoed across the yard. She slipped up and found herself on the ground; Syaoran thinking he had won put his guard down only to find himself on the ground also. Sakura laughed and front flipped to her feet.
"Aww that was no fear, you were down. I almost had you" Syaoran laughed as he flip to his feet. Sakura watched as he moved his finger across the blade making electricity spark.
"Nice trick son" Sakura observed as they circled each other sweat running down her face. She wondered where Ying Fa was; she knew she had to be here for training, she would have to have a talk with her.
"All right you two rest up, Rui Lin and Xiao Rae your up next" Xiao Lang called making them stop; he knew that they were both tired. They nodded before bowing to each other, Syaoran placed his arm around his mother's shoulders since as he was a tad bit taller then her.
"Father?" Lin said looking up at him with a frown on her face.
"Hai sweetie?"
"Whom am I going to train with?" she asked softly not wanting to miss out on the fun. (If ya'll read Cherry my love, then she looks just like Lin)
"I'll go with you just as long as you promise to go easy on me. We'll give Ying Fa time to come home since, as she's late again. I wonder whom she got that from" he stated earning him a playful glare from Sakura.
"Okay, I'll go easy on you" Lin beamed; she loved sparing with her father. Yelen and the others were watching Rae and Rui go at it. Since as they were identical twins they knew each others moves very well and it was sometimes hard for them to beat the other.
"Lin's getting good" Syaoran commented taking a drink of his water. "It's about time you showed up," he added knowing that Ying Fa was behind.
"Traffic, we kind of left late. Sorry" Ying Fa apologized sitting down. "Whom am I going up against?" she asked wrapping her hair in a bun.
"Xiao Lang" Yelen answered making her gulp.
"Great there's no way I'm going to win this one," she mumbled making Sakura laugh.
"Don't worry, I hardly ever beat him" Sakura soothed wiping her forehead with the towel. "What time is Ken picking you up?" (How old you have to be in Hong Kong to get your license? Let's just say he has his and so does Syaoran since as they are all the same age)
"At six," Ying Fa answered happily.
"And you know your curfew?" she asked her daughter who nodded making her smile. "Good, I convinced Xiao Lang not to make the guards follow you tonight. I know you can---"
"WHAT?!?!?!" Syaoran yelled cutting her off, everyone in China cringed and birds scattered. "Mother you can't be serious?" he huffed; Sakura smiled sheepishly knowing she shouldn't have said that. She wince seeing how much he looked like Touya and Xiao Lang at the moment with the vain that was pulsing on his forehead.
"I don't see anything wrong with it" she said softly.
"I will not allow my baby sister to go out with some guy with out security. She's lucky that I'm allowing to go at all," he yelled making all of cringe and Xiao Lang and the kids stop training.
"You can't stop me, father and mother said I can go" Ying Fa shouted back in his face. "And if you interfere Syaoran you'll be sorry" 'Hoe it was not good that they had Xiao Lang and Touya's blood in them' Sakura thought holding her head.
"I can too I forbid you, Ken is a low---" Syaoran growled his eyes flashing dangerously but Ying Fa matched him as she tried not to cry. "He's a pervert" he finally got out making her burst out in tears.
"I hate you Syaoran, you're mean. At least Ken doesn't make me feel this way" Ying Fa screamed making thunder crash as she stormed off to her room in tears. Syaoran looked at her knowing that he might have went too far, he didn't want to make her cry but why couldn't she just see?
"Syaoran, that wasn't called for" Sakura chided going after Ying Fa, he looked down and sighed. "I just don't trust him," he whispered feeling a hand on his shoulder he looked up only to Yelen smiling at him.
"Don't worry, she'll see soon enough," Yelen spoke softly making him nod when Xiao Lang walked up frowning. Syaoran looked away at the look his father gave him.
"Syaoran I know that you don't like Ken but that doesn't mean you should hurt Ying Fa trying to make her understand. She has to make that choice her self, you understand?" he stated in a patient tone.
"Yes father, can I go and shower?" he asked getting up, Xiao Lang nodded and watched him go. "How come we weren't like that when we were teenagers?" he asked his mother who smiled getting up.
"You and Sakura had too much to worry about so you two never had the chance but he's much like you and her over protective brother, poor girls. With you males in the family they'll never get married" she laughed looking at her grandchildren.
Jamie.
"This sucks" he whispered walking along with the road, he knew he was looking for a girl. The one who he couldn't see in his dreams and now he had lost the only thing he had of her. "I wish there was someone I could talk to, someone who could tell me anything useful" he spoke to himself. He knew that if he found the girl then he would mostly likely find the other old guy who took her away and swore to kill him. In truth he wasn't so sure he wanted to meet this guy, all he wanted was to find her but first he had to get the necklace back and he would do that tonight.
Author's note: it's funny how I used the same name in Wild things. But I love that name Jamie, it has a special meaning to me, so don't mind. LOL anyways please remember to review and tell me what ya think JA.
Author's note: thank you to all those who reviewed LOL and I know that the fist part might be a little confusing but don't worry it'll get clearer as we go along. And I know that I didn't want to get put out two stories at the same time but I have some that I want to put out and I can't unless I get these two out of the way first.

"Better watch it mother" Syaoran warned playfully making Sakura laugh watching his movements.
"I am trust me" Sakura replied when their swords clinging sound echoed across the yard. She slipped up and found herself on the ground; Syaoran thinking he had won put his guard down only to find himself on the ground also. Sakura laughed and front flipped to her feet.
"Aww that was no fear, you were down. I almost had you" Syaoran laughed as he flip to his feet. Sakura watched as he moved his finger across the blade making electricity spark.
"Nice trick son" Sakura observed as they circled each other sweat running down her face. She wondered where Ying Fa was; she knew she had to be here for training, she would have to have a talk with her.
"All right you two rest up, Rui Lin and Xiao Rae your up next" Xiao Lang called making them stop; he knew that they were both tired. They nodded before bowing to each other, Syaoran placed his arm around his mother's shoulders since as he was a tad bit taller then her.
"Father?" Lin said looking up at him with a frown on her face.
"Hai sweetie?"
"Whom am I going to train with?" she asked softly not wanting to miss out on the fun. (If ya'll read Cherry my love, then she looks just like Lin)
"I'll go with you just as long as you promise to go easy on me. We'll give Ying Fa time to come home since, as she's late again. I wonder whom she got that from" he stated earning him a playful glare from Sakura.
"Okay, I'll go easy on you" Lin beamed; she loved sparing with her father. Yelen and the others were watching Rae and Rui go at it. Since as they were identical twins they knew each others moves very well and it was sometimes hard for them to beat the other.
"Lin's getting good" Syaoran commented taking a drink of his water. "It's about time you showed up," he added knowing that Ying Fa was behind.
"Traffic, we kind of left late. Sorry" Ying Fa apologized sitting down. "Whom am I going up against?" she asked wrapping her hair in a bun.
"Xiao Lang" Yelen answered making her gulp.
"Great there's no way I'm going to win this one," she mumbled making Sakura laugh.
"Don't worry, I hardly ever beat him" Sakura soothed wiping her forehead with the towel. "What time is Ken picking you up?" (How old you have to be in Hong Kong to get your license? Let's just say he has his and so does Syaoran since as they are all the same age)
"At six," Ying Fa answered happily.
"And you know your curfew?" she asked her daughter who nodded making her smile. "Good, I convinced Xiao Lang not to make the guards follow you tonight. I know you can---"
"WHAT?!?!?!" Syaoran yelled cutting her off, everyone in China cringed and birds scattered. "Mother you can't be serious?" he huffed; Sakura smiled sheepishly knowing she shouldn't have said that. She wince seeing how much he looked like Touya and Xiao Lang at the moment with the vain that was pulsing on his forehead.
"I don't see anything wrong with it" she said softly.
"I will not allow my baby sister to go out with some guy with out security. She's lucky that I'm allowing to go at all," he yelled making all of cringe and Xiao Lang and the kids stop training.
"You can't stop me, father and mother said I can go" Ying Fa shouted back in his face. "And if you interfere Syaoran you'll be sorry" 'Hoe it was not good that they had Xiao Lang and Touya's blood in them' Sakura thought holding her head.
"I can too I forbid you, Ken is a low---" Syaoran growled his eyes flashing dangerously but Ying Fa matched him as she tried not to cry. "He's a pervert" he finally got out making her burst out in tears.
"I hate you Syaoran, you're mean. At least Ken doesn't make me feel this way" Ying Fa screamed making thunder crash as she stormed off to her room in tears. Syaoran looked at her knowing that he might have went too far, he didn't want to make her cry but why couldn't she just see?
"Syaoran, that wasn't called for" Sakura chided going after Ying Fa, he looked down and sighed. "I just don't trust him," he whispered feeling a hand on his shoulder he looked up only to Yelen smiling at him.
"Don't worry, she'll see soon enough," Yelen spoke softly making him nod when Xiao Lang walked up frowning. Syaoran looked away at the look his father gave him.
"Syaoran I know that you don't like Ken but that doesn't mean you should hurt Ying Fa trying to make her understand. She has to make that choice her self, you understand?" he stated in a patient tone.
"Yes father, can I go and shower?" he asked getting up, Xiao Lang nodded and watched him go. "How come we weren't like that when we were teenagers?" he asked his mother who smiled getting up.
"You and Sakura had too much to worry about so you two never had the chance but he's much like you and her over protective brother, poor girls. With you males in the family they'll never get married" she laughed looking at her grandchildren.
Jamie.
"This sucks" he whispered walking along with the road, he knew he was looking for a girl. The one who he couldn't see in his dreams and now he had lost the only thing he had of her. "I wish there was someone I could talk to, someone who could tell me anything useful" he spoke to himself. He knew that if he found the girl then he would mostly likely find the other old guy who took her away and swore to kill him. In truth he wasn't so sure he wanted to meet this guy, all he wanted was to find her but first he had to get the necklace back and he would do that tonight.
Author's note: it's funny how I used the same name in Wild things. But I love that name Jamie, it has a special meaning to me, so don't mind. LOL anyways please remember to review and tell me what ya think JA.
