Chap. 7: "Body Guard"
Author's note: hey hey hey, thank you, thank you for those who reviewed and thing. I don't know why I didn't make this a different story but now I know I should have cause this is going to be long.
I might be updating for a while or until Friday cause I have to start studying for my mid terms with are not far away and I want to pass them all with flying colors.
It had been two days since the encounter at the Honda's party and the Li household was still not the same. Ying Fa stayed locked up in her room for most of the day unless she was ordered down to dinner and breakfast. Sakura was really worried about her daughter and was wondering if maybe they had been too hard on her. And to make matters worst their houseguest still hadn't woken up yet leaving many questions unanswered. "Anything?" Sakura asked walking into the living room where everyone was at the moment. She had just laid Mei Hua down for a nap and the other children were off to school.
"Nothing" Xiao Lang answered while Yelen rubbed her temples. Eriol and Tomoyo had returned home because of Ally and Eli's schooling but promised to return when their guest awakened.
"He must have been hurt really bad to be sleeping still" Yelen commented softly. "I can feel his power returning to normal by the second, so much power" she continued when Sakura sat down sighing. "How's Ying Fa?"
"She's still in her room, I was thinking that maybe we could allow her to return to school and talk with Ken on the phone" seeing the disapproving on her husband's face, she continued hastily. "I don't like seeing her like this, she's always so full of life"
"Ying Fa will come around when she understands that what she did was wrong" Xiao Lang spoke. He too was wondering if maybe he was a little hard on her but he wasn't going to back out. He didn't like the fact that Ken was trying to do more then talking with his daughter and it didn't help that she was his first daughter.
"I hope so" Sakura whispered relaxing in the chair.
Upstairs.
In one of the many rooms, our attention is focused on the last one down the long hallway that had two guards at the door. Inside a figure lays still in the middle of the large bed clad with white sheets. Slowly movement could be seen as the occupant had a nightmare, incoherent things were said as he trashed about wanting to find the way out. "No" he gasped his eyes snapped open, every night he had the same dream, every night he saw her die again. Holding his head, Jamie glanced around the large unfamiliar room, which was dim due to the lack of lighting. "Where am I?" he whispers disoriented, momentarily closing his eyes his focused only to find him self surrounded by many auras. "So this is the Li estate," he murmured getting out of the bed. He noticed that he was wearing someone else's clothing but figured that it was from the boy who looked his age. "I have to get out of here" he walked to the door but didn't open it because he could smell the men outside the door. Smirking he stepped back unbuttoning the shirt he had on, he knew the only way he could get out of the room was through the door because all the windows were locked by a spell.
Outside the room.
The two men heard movement inside the room and got up looking at the door cautiously wondering what was going on. "Check it, I'll back you up" one spoke getting his sword ready.
"All right get ready" the man nodded moving to the door, slowly he opened it and glanced inside ready for anything. He saw was a pile of clothing on the floor in the middle of the room. "He's---" that's all he was able to get out when a black wolf came running out of nowhere.
"What the hell?!?!" the man shouted when the thing collided with him sending him flying into the wall.
"We have to stop it," the other yelled running after it, but Jamie was faster as he made his way down the long hall.
Ying Fa.
She was in her room lying on her bed like she had been doing for the past two days. She now knew that she was wrong for hiding her aura and knew why her father had grounded her and forbid her to see Ken. "It's not fair," she murmured burying her head in her pillow to hide her tears. "Now I've lost father's trust and I can't even speak with Ken anymore" she knew that if she went against her father's orders and saw Ken she would have to choose between them. And she didn't know if she would have been able to choose Ken or her parents and family.
"No I couldn't do that," she whispered in remorse wiping her tears away as she sat up. "I can never choose between my family and the person I love" she got off her bed deciding to take a walk outside for some fresh air, yeah fresh air would do her some good.
Walking to the door she opened it and walked down the hall, but as she got closer to the staircase she could make out yelling from the opposite hall. She thought she saw something heading towards her but couldn't make it out, so she strained her eyes placing her hand on the railing. "A wolf?" she gasped seeing the black thing heading for her when she felt the surge of power.
"Miss Ying Fa get out of the way" came a man's voice from behind making her look back momentarily.
"NO call my father and mother," Ying Fa ordered stepping in the path of the thing. The wolf hesitated seeing her in its path making Ying Fa smile, his piercing silver eyes looked into her emeralds threateningly but she never flinch. "I'm not getting out of the way" she spat when it snarled at her ready to attack. Before the wolf pounced at her a man jumped forward knocking her out of the way unfortunately she fell over the railing sending her flying towards the ground. Ying Fa screamed bracing herself to the impact but it never came feeling a rush of wind sweep under her.
"Ying Fa are you all right?" Sakura yelled running over to her when she looked up dazedly only able to nod. How many times had she almost died since meeting that boy? She had no clue but it was getting on her nerves. "Good what's going on?"
"I don't know there's a wolf upstairs," Ying Fa answered standing up. She was glad that her father had summoned wind just in time but she still couldn't look him in the eyes because she was still ashamed.
"A wolf?" Yelen asked perplexedly but before Ying Fa could answer a growl was heard upstairs. And right before their eyes and other guards a black wolf came running down the stairs with swift fluid movements.
It jumped over the three lasts steps only to collide with Sakura's shield but it landed on all four looking at them menacingly. "Didn't you say the boy could turn into a wolf?" Sakura asked holding the shield up, Xiao Lang nodded keeping an eye on it.
"You aren't going anywhere" he spoke coldly looking at the thing, Jamie growled in response. "We won't hurt you all we want are some answers and how to get the necklace off my daughters neck"
Jamie looked at him wondering if he could trust them, he felt their aura and knew that they weren't evil but he had tried to hurt their daughter twice. "Please trust us," the female who was obviously Ying Fa's mother added in a softer voice, the voice of a caring mother something he didn't know. He looked at her and swore he was seeing Blossom, his heart skipped a beat but it couldn't be here cause this woman was a lot older then he.
"Don't go too close" Xiao Lang said holding her hand making her stop nodding but her eyes were still soft. "You have no choice but to cooperate with us boy, so I suggest that you calm down" Jamie knew he was trapped and had no choice but to comply.
Right before their eyes he started to transform and Ying Fa's eyes widened seeing that he was going to be naked, a deep blush tinted her cheeks though she didn't know why. Before she could say anything juicy Yelen covered her eyes making her groan inwardly, she didn't see what the big deal was anyways. But she felt better knowing the Xiao Lang covered both Yelen and Sakura's eyes. "Wei-san give him some of Syaoran's clothing then bring him to the living room" Xiao Lang ordered Wei who nodding looking at the boy strangely.
"Right this way Wolf" Wei said not knowing what to else to call him; hopefully he had another name for they had two other wolves in the house. Jamie glanced at them one last time before he reluctantly followed Wei with some of the guards behind. Ying Fa peaked around Yelen's hand only to see his amazingly sexy shaped butt.
"Don't peak" Yelen spoke placing her hand over Ying Fa's eyes firmly making the girl pout.
"But grandmother!"
They followed Xiao Lang into the living room to wait for the reappearance of their houseguest. "I've never met a person who could morph into an animal before, their kind was thought to have died out over a century ago" Yelen commented sitting down. "Since as he's a boy he must have family here somewhere"
"If he had family then why was he living like that grandmamma?" Ying Fa asked sitting beside her since as Sakura and Xiao Lang had taken the other small sofa.
"We don't know anything yet, hopefully that will change" Sakura spoke resting her head on Xiao Lang's shoulder as he placed his arm around her shoulders. Ying Fa looked at her parents and wish when she got older that she and Ken would have something like that even though things were looking down. They all looked to the door when the boy walked in and a guard closed it for privacy.
"Sit" was all Xiao Lang said nodding the chair in front of them, frowning the boy sat folding his arms.
"Can I have what's mine so I can be on my way?" he asked in a not so friendly voice glancing over them. His eyes landed on the necklace around Ying Fa's neck making his eyes narrow. "Why are you wearing it? It's not yours to wear take it off now" he ordered flying to his feet.
"I wish I could but the stupid thing can't come off," Ying Fa snapped glaring at him. She had to admit that he wasn't bad looking with his jet- black hair and piercing dark blue eyes. 'how odd that his eyes are now blue but earlier they were silver' she thought absently.
"What do you mean?" Jamie asked a little taken back. Ying Fa groaned moving her hair as she got up and walked over to him not afraid because she knew he wouldn't try anything stupid.
"See" she said sarcastically turning around. Jamie looked at it wide eyed wondering how that could have happened. "Now you get it off," Jamie was wondering how as he tried to ignore her intoxicating scents of strawberries and vanilla.
"I don't know how this could have happened, it's the first time a person except me has touched it," he admitted making her moved away from him.
"So you stole it?" Ying Fa accused making him glower.
"No I didn't steal it, I found it when I was a kid" he growled shooting daggers at her, which she just brushed off sitting back down. Sakura and the others sweat drop at the two.
"What's your name?" Sakura asked seeing how Syaoran's clothing fit him not perfectly but okay. "And where are you from, and how old are you?" she hoped he wouldn't say something over a hundred.
"My name is Jamie" he frowned not wanting to answer any stupid questions. "I'm 16 and from America"
"How is it that you know Chinese?" Yelen inquired eyeing him as she tried to read his character. She could see that he liked his privacy and was much like her son's old character, which was a good thing. (I wonder what she has in mind)
"My parents were Chinese, at least that's all my aunt told me" Jamie answered wondering why he had just said that; it wasn't any of their business.
"I'm Sakura, this is my husband Li Xiao Lang, his mother Yelen and my daughter Ying Fa" Sakura introduced smiling which made Jamie feel a little better. He could get used to her but he didn't know about the rest of the family.
"Where do you live and who was that guy from the party?" Xiao Lang asked getting straight down to business, he didn't like playing games. Jamie looked at him knowing that they wouldn't get along, something about Li made him feel very cautious.
"I live here and there and I have no idea who that guy was" Jamie bit out coldly hating to be interrogated like his was a criminal. "He showed up out of nowhere but he wanted your daughter and the necklace. Personally I believe that you should give her to him" Ying Fa glared at him wanting to cook him or something. "This is all her fault, now I have another problem to worry about"
"You don't have a home?" Sakura gasped making him sweat drop, of all the things to ask she had to choose that one.
"Like I said lady no, now can I go?" Jamie asked standing up. Sakura frowned she didn't like the whole idea of him staying on the road. And then the problem with that other guy, he would come after Ying Fa no matter where Jamie was.
"You can stay with us, we have more then enough rooms" Sakura burst out shocking everyone including Jamie. Xiao Lang was already used to his wife's kind heart so he wasn't all that surprised.
"Wha---what?" Jamie and Ying Fa stuttered thinking they had heard her wrong. Ying Fa couldn't believe her mother had just offered him a room here for god knows how long.
"I said you can stay here, it's not good for you to be sleeping out on the streets especially with his guy hanging around" Sakura answered softly.
"I don't want your charity" Jamie replied brushing the offer aside like it was nothing. Sakura looked at Xiao Lang with pleading eyes making him groan inwardly.
"Don't think of it as charity, you can stay here with us until we get rid of that guy. You'll help us because it's obvious that you can't get rid of him by yourself while we can" Xiao Lang stated getting up, Jamie knew he was right there. "And since as Ying Fa has to go back to school you'll go with her as a body guard" this made Ying Fa gasp. "You, Syaoran and her will be able to hold this guy off if he chooses to show up. Everything you need will be given to you if you agree to this" Sakura smiled brightly seeing the look on the boy's face. Oh she could kiss her husband!!!
Jamie looked at Yelen who was waiting patiently then at Sakura who obviously wanted him to say yes then at Li who was only doing this to please his wife. The look on his face said he had better say yes or else, finally he glanced at Ying Fa and saw that she was horrified this made him smirk. "All right" he agreed making her eyes bulge out he had to hold back a laugh.
"Wonderful, you can keep the room you have" Sakura beamed relaxing in the chair. She glanced at her watch and saw that the children wouldn't be home for another two hours.
"Since as this is settle welcome to the house, Jamie, do you have a last name?" Yelen asked so she could register him in school and make sure he had some of same classes as Ying Fa. This was going to be good, surely those two would get this place going like her father and mother did.
"It's Chan," he sighed making her nod.
"Father I will not have a body guard who doesn't have a hair cut" Ying Fa said finding the smallest detail to complain about. Jamie gave her a side- glance as if she was some kind of ditz, her eyes absently fell on his butt and she had to fight down the blush.
"I'm not cutting my hair" Jamie stated not even bothering to look at her as she slumped in the chair. "I have to get something from the cave I was sleeping in, I'll be back in about an hour" he spoke turning for the door.
"No wait I'll drive you" Sakura burst out then smiled sheepishly sweating dropping at the look everyone gave her. "Um Ying Fa and I will drive you since as we have to get you some clothing and your school things anyways" she continued more calmly.
"Fine" Jamie sighed looking at Sakura, he didn't know why he wasn't able to say no to her, and it was weird.
"We'll be back before the kids get home," Sakura said giving Syaoran as quick kiss before he could object. "I know you'll want to tell Eriol about this news"
"Fine be careful cherry blossom" he replied caressing her cheek while Ying Fa got out of the chair very reluctantly.
"I will little wolf," she whispered giving him another kiss before walked out the room where Jamie was already waiting for her and Ying Fa. "Come on Ying Fa don't look so dead this is a good thing"
"I don't see how it is" Ying Fa grumbled folding her arms as she walked through the door. She got in the back of the navigator since as Jamie had to sit in the front to give directions. 'I'm going to make his life a living hell for agreeing to fellow me around' she thought smiling at all the prospects.
"So how did you learn how to fight?" Sakura asked trying to make conversation, this boy was the quiet type but something about him she liked.
"Before my aunt died she used to run a martial arts program" Jamie answered frowning. "I learned there how to fight and use a sword"
"Did they have powers too?" she inquired wondering if she was being nosy but she wanted to know more.
"No, no one knew I had powers not even my foster mother" Jamie answered tightly not wanting to remember anything from the passed. That's all it was, his past and it wasn't a good one either.
"Oh, so you should be a junior since as Ying Fa and Syaoran are sophomores"
"Yeah a junior I won't have to fellow her around twenty-four hours right?" Sakura laughed shaking her head no.
"Not right, right behind her but you have to be in close distance to her. There's no need to drive her or anything, you have driver's license?"
"Yeah but I hate driving cars, I rather bikes" Jamie showing her where to turn. Ying sat in the back and watched as they drove more and more into the woods. It was a good thing that he wasn't going to follow her around a lot. Things could be worst, maybe her father would allow her to start seeing Ken again. "Stop here, we have to walk up to the cave," he added making Sakura slow to a stop.
They all walked up the small hill, Ying Fa made sure not to slip she was not wearing the right kind of shoes. Sakura frowned when they came to the cave opening, no child should be living in such conditions it was just unheard of. "I'll wait her mother" Ying Fa said stopping, Sakura looked at her and nodded following Jamie inside.
He created a small ball of light so Sakura could see where they were going. She looked around the damp area and saw that he had a bed made out of leaves with a blanket over it. A small bag that obviously had his stuff and a bonfire for the cold nights, she could feel her throat tighten seeing this living conditions. "It's bad, I know but there was nowhere else to stay" he commented making Sakura look at him. "Plus I had to keep an eyes you guys"
"Come on let's get out of here," Sakura spoke turning to leave.
"How come your daughter isn't anything like you?" Jamie asked surprising her. "I mean you're so kind and she's well"
"Ying Fa is a lot like me but right now she's going through a hard time. She'll come around though"
Syaoran.
He walked out of the school building only to see Ken leaning against his car, which made him frown. "See ya man" Marcus waved leaving with his girl friend.
"Yeah" Syaoran replied walking over to his car with a frown on his face. "What do you want?" he asked in an emotionless voice.
"I want to know why Ying Fa hasn't called me?" Ken spoke getting down to it he knew something was up.
"Well let me see" Syaoran bit out. "You two were dating in secret for six months, you talked her into hiding her powers. And because of that, you and her almost got your selves killed if it wasn't for that boy" he nearly yelled taking an aggressive step towards Ken.
"She did it out of her free will, I didn't pressure her to" Ken defended smiling. "It's not my fault her family won't let her date who she wants. She loves me and there's nothing the Li Clan can do to change that"
"There's a lot they can do about it since the whole ordeal with your mother" Syaoran replied coldly going around to his side of the car.
"You leave my mother out of this she's fine without your father" Ken defended surprising Syaoran who had to idea he spoke with his mother.
"Whatever just stay away from my sister before you regret it" Syaoran spat getting in his car. Ken barely moved out of the way to avoid his toes getting run over when Syaoran pulled out.
"There's nothing you or anyone can do to stop me from getting Ying Fa" Ken whispered heading to the school to sign up for his class.
Author's note: so what do ya'll think? Hmmm is it getting better? Hmmm I love Jamie LOL and Ying Fa is a Hentai LOL J/K heck I would have peeked too.peace until next time peeps.
Author's note: hey hey hey, thank you, thank you for those who reviewed and thing. I don't know why I didn't make this a different story but now I know I should have cause this is going to be long.

It had been two days since the encounter at the Honda's party and the Li household was still not the same. Ying Fa stayed locked up in her room for most of the day unless she was ordered down to dinner and breakfast. Sakura was really worried about her daughter and was wondering if maybe they had been too hard on her. And to make matters worst their houseguest still hadn't woken up yet leaving many questions unanswered. "Anything?" Sakura asked walking into the living room where everyone was at the moment. She had just laid Mei Hua down for a nap and the other children were off to school.
"Nothing" Xiao Lang answered while Yelen rubbed her temples. Eriol and Tomoyo had returned home because of Ally and Eli's schooling but promised to return when their guest awakened.
"He must have been hurt really bad to be sleeping still" Yelen commented softly. "I can feel his power returning to normal by the second, so much power" she continued when Sakura sat down sighing. "How's Ying Fa?"
"She's still in her room, I was thinking that maybe we could allow her to return to school and talk with Ken on the phone" seeing the disapproving on her husband's face, she continued hastily. "I don't like seeing her like this, she's always so full of life"
"Ying Fa will come around when she understands that what she did was wrong" Xiao Lang spoke. He too was wondering if maybe he was a little hard on her but he wasn't going to back out. He didn't like the fact that Ken was trying to do more then talking with his daughter and it didn't help that she was his first daughter.
"I hope so" Sakura whispered relaxing in the chair.
Upstairs.
In one of the many rooms, our attention is focused on the last one down the long hallway that had two guards at the door. Inside a figure lays still in the middle of the large bed clad with white sheets. Slowly movement could be seen as the occupant had a nightmare, incoherent things were said as he trashed about wanting to find the way out. "No" he gasped his eyes snapped open, every night he had the same dream, every night he saw her die again. Holding his head, Jamie glanced around the large unfamiliar room, which was dim due to the lack of lighting. "Where am I?" he whispers disoriented, momentarily closing his eyes his focused only to find him self surrounded by many auras. "So this is the Li estate," he murmured getting out of the bed. He noticed that he was wearing someone else's clothing but figured that it was from the boy who looked his age. "I have to get out of here" he walked to the door but didn't open it because he could smell the men outside the door. Smirking he stepped back unbuttoning the shirt he had on, he knew the only way he could get out of the room was through the door because all the windows were locked by a spell.
Outside the room.
The two men heard movement inside the room and got up looking at the door cautiously wondering what was going on. "Check it, I'll back you up" one spoke getting his sword ready.
"All right get ready" the man nodded moving to the door, slowly he opened it and glanced inside ready for anything. He saw was a pile of clothing on the floor in the middle of the room. "He's---" that's all he was able to get out when a black wolf came running out of nowhere.
"What the hell?!?!" the man shouted when the thing collided with him sending him flying into the wall.
"We have to stop it," the other yelled running after it, but Jamie was faster as he made his way down the long hall.
Ying Fa.
She was in her room lying on her bed like she had been doing for the past two days. She now knew that she was wrong for hiding her aura and knew why her father had grounded her and forbid her to see Ken. "It's not fair," she murmured burying her head in her pillow to hide her tears. "Now I've lost father's trust and I can't even speak with Ken anymore" she knew that if she went against her father's orders and saw Ken she would have to choose between them. And she didn't know if she would have been able to choose Ken or her parents and family.
"No I couldn't do that," she whispered in remorse wiping her tears away as she sat up. "I can never choose between my family and the person I love" she got off her bed deciding to take a walk outside for some fresh air, yeah fresh air would do her some good.
Walking to the door she opened it and walked down the hall, but as she got closer to the staircase she could make out yelling from the opposite hall. She thought she saw something heading towards her but couldn't make it out, so she strained her eyes placing her hand on the railing. "A wolf?" she gasped seeing the black thing heading for her when she felt the surge of power.
"Miss Ying Fa get out of the way" came a man's voice from behind making her look back momentarily.
"NO call my father and mother," Ying Fa ordered stepping in the path of the thing. The wolf hesitated seeing her in its path making Ying Fa smile, his piercing silver eyes looked into her emeralds threateningly but she never flinch. "I'm not getting out of the way" she spat when it snarled at her ready to attack. Before the wolf pounced at her a man jumped forward knocking her out of the way unfortunately she fell over the railing sending her flying towards the ground. Ying Fa screamed bracing herself to the impact but it never came feeling a rush of wind sweep under her.
"Ying Fa are you all right?" Sakura yelled running over to her when she looked up dazedly only able to nod. How many times had she almost died since meeting that boy? She had no clue but it was getting on her nerves. "Good what's going on?"
"I don't know there's a wolf upstairs," Ying Fa answered standing up. She was glad that her father had summoned wind just in time but she still couldn't look him in the eyes because she was still ashamed.
"A wolf?" Yelen asked perplexedly but before Ying Fa could answer a growl was heard upstairs. And right before their eyes and other guards a black wolf came running down the stairs with swift fluid movements.
It jumped over the three lasts steps only to collide with Sakura's shield but it landed on all four looking at them menacingly. "Didn't you say the boy could turn into a wolf?" Sakura asked holding the shield up, Xiao Lang nodded keeping an eye on it.
"You aren't going anywhere" he spoke coldly looking at the thing, Jamie growled in response. "We won't hurt you all we want are some answers and how to get the necklace off my daughters neck"
Jamie looked at him wondering if he could trust them, he felt their aura and knew that they weren't evil but he had tried to hurt their daughter twice. "Please trust us," the female who was obviously Ying Fa's mother added in a softer voice, the voice of a caring mother something he didn't know. He looked at her and swore he was seeing Blossom, his heart skipped a beat but it couldn't be here cause this woman was a lot older then he.
"Don't go too close" Xiao Lang said holding her hand making her stop nodding but her eyes were still soft. "You have no choice but to cooperate with us boy, so I suggest that you calm down" Jamie knew he was trapped and had no choice but to comply.
Right before their eyes he started to transform and Ying Fa's eyes widened seeing that he was going to be naked, a deep blush tinted her cheeks though she didn't know why. Before she could say anything juicy Yelen covered her eyes making her groan inwardly, she didn't see what the big deal was anyways. But she felt better knowing the Xiao Lang covered both Yelen and Sakura's eyes. "Wei-san give him some of Syaoran's clothing then bring him to the living room" Xiao Lang ordered Wei who nodding looking at the boy strangely.
"Right this way Wolf" Wei said not knowing what to else to call him; hopefully he had another name for they had two other wolves in the house. Jamie glanced at them one last time before he reluctantly followed Wei with some of the guards behind. Ying Fa peaked around Yelen's hand only to see his amazingly sexy shaped butt.
"Don't peak" Yelen spoke placing her hand over Ying Fa's eyes firmly making the girl pout.
"But grandmother!"
They followed Xiao Lang into the living room to wait for the reappearance of their houseguest. "I've never met a person who could morph into an animal before, their kind was thought to have died out over a century ago" Yelen commented sitting down. "Since as he's a boy he must have family here somewhere"
"If he had family then why was he living like that grandmamma?" Ying Fa asked sitting beside her since as Sakura and Xiao Lang had taken the other small sofa.
"We don't know anything yet, hopefully that will change" Sakura spoke resting her head on Xiao Lang's shoulder as he placed his arm around her shoulders. Ying Fa looked at her parents and wish when she got older that she and Ken would have something like that even though things were looking down. They all looked to the door when the boy walked in and a guard closed it for privacy.
"Sit" was all Xiao Lang said nodding the chair in front of them, frowning the boy sat folding his arms.
"Can I have what's mine so I can be on my way?" he asked in a not so friendly voice glancing over them. His eyes landed on the necklace around Ying Fa's neck making his eyes narrow. "Why are you wearing it? It's not yours to wear take it off now" he ordered flying to his feet.
"I wish I could but the stupid thing can't come off," Ying Fa snapped glaring at him. She had to admit that he wasn't bad looking with his jet- black hair and piercing dark blue eyes. 'how odd that his eyes are now blue but earlier they were silver' she thought absently.
"What do you mean?" Jamie asked a little taken back. Ying Fa groaned moving her hair as she got up and walked over to him not afraid because she knew he wouldn't try anything stupid.
"See" she said sarcastically turning around. Jamie looked at it wide eyed wondering how that could have happened. "Now you get it off," Jamie was wondering how as he tried to ignore her intoxicating scents of strawberries and vanilla.
"I don't know how this could have happened, it's the first time a person except me has touched it," he admitted making her moved away from him.
"So you stole it?" Ying Fa accused making him glower.
"No I didn't steal it, I found it when I was a kid" he growled shooting daggers at her, which she just brushed off sitting back down. Sakura and the others sweat drop at the two.
"What's your name?" Sakura asked seeing how Syaoran's clothing fit him not perfectly but okay. "And where are you from, and how old are you?" she hoped he wouldn't say something over a hundred.
"My name is Jamie" he frowned not wanting to answer any stupid questions. "I'm 16 and from America"
"How is it that you know Chinese?" Yelen inquired eyeing him as she tried to read his character. She could see that he liked his privacy and was much like her son's old character, which was a good thing. (I wonder what she has in mind)
"My parents were Chinese, at least that's all my aunt told me" Jamie answered wondering why he had just said that; it wasn't any of their business.
"I'm Sakura, this is my husband Li Xiao Lang, his mother Yelen and my daughter Ying Fa" Sakura introduced smiling which made Jamie feel a little better. He could get used to her but he didn't know about the rest of the family.
"Where do you live and who was that guy from the party?" Xiao Lang asked getting straight down to business, he didn't like playing games. Jamie looked at him knowing that they wouldn't get along, something about Li made him feel very cautious.
"I live here and there and I have no idea who that guy was" Jamie bit out coldly hating to be interrogated like his was a criminal. "He showed up out of nowhere but he wanted your daughter and the necklace. Personally I believe that you should give her to him" Ying Fa glared at him wanting to cook him or something. "This is all her fault, now I have another problem to worry about"
"You don't have a home?" Sakura gasped making him sweat drop, of all the things to ask she had to choose that one.
"Like I said lady no, now can I go?" Jamie asked standing up. Sakura frowned she didn't like the whole idea of him staying on the road. And then the problem with that other guy, he would come after Ying Fa no matter where Jamie was.
"You can stay with us, we have more then enough rooms" Sakura burst out shocking everyone including Jamie. Xiao Lang was already used to his wife's kind heart so he wasn't all that surprised.
"Wha---what?" Jamie and Ying Fa stuttered thinking they had heard her wrong. Ying Fa couldn't believe her mother had just offered him a room here for god knows how long.
"I said you can stay here, it's not good for you to be sleeping out on the streets especially with his guy hanging around" Sakura answered softly.
"I don't want your charity" Jamie replied brushing the offer aside like it was nothing. Sakura looked at Xiao Lang with pleading eyes making him groan inwardly.
"Don't think of it as charity, you can stay here with us until we get rid of that guy. You'll help us because it's obvious that you can't get rid of him by yourself while we can" Xiao Lang stated getting up, Jamie knew he was right there. "And since as Ying Fa has to go back to school you'll go with her as a body guard" this made Ying Fa gasp. "You, Syaoran and her will be able to hold this guy off if he chooses to show up. Everything you need will be given to you if you agree to this" Sakura smiled brightly seeing the look on the boy's face. Oh she could kiss her husband!!!
Jamie looked at Yelen who was waiting patiently then at Sakura who obviously wanted him to say yes then at Li who was only doing this to please his wife. The look on his face said he had better say yes or else, finally he glanced at Ying Fa and saw that she was horrified this made him smirk. "All right" he agreed making her eyes bulge out he had to hold back a laugh.
"Wonderful, you can keep the room you have" Sakura beamed relaxing in the chair. She glanced at her watch and saw that the children wouldn't be home for another two hours.
"Since as this is settle welcome to the house, Jamie, do you have a last name?" Yelen asked so she could register him in school and make sure he had some of same classes as Ying Fa. This was going to be good, surely those two would get this place going like her father and mother did.
"It's Chan," he sighed making her nod.
"Father I will not have a body guard who doesn't have a hair cut" Ying Fa said finding the smallest detail to complain about. Jamie gave her a side- glance as if she was some kind of ditz, her eyes absently fell on his butt and she had to fight down the blush.
"I'm not cutting my hair" Jamie stated not even bothering to look at her as she slumped in the chair. "I have to get something from the cave I was sleeping in, I'll be back in about an hour" he spoke turning for the door.
"No wait I'll drive you" Sakura burst out then smiled sheepishly sweating dropping at the look everyone gave her. "Um Ying Fa and I will drive you since as we have to get you some clothing and your school things anyways" she continued more calmly.
"Fine" Jamie sighed looking at Sakura, he didn't know why he wasn't able to say no to her, and it was weird.
"We'll be back before the kids get home," Sakura said giving Syaoran as quick kiss before he could object. "I know you'll want to tell Eriol about this news"
"Fine be careful cherry blossom" he replied caressing her cheek while Ying Fa got out of the chair very reluctantly.
"I will little wolf," she whispered giving him another kiss before walked out the room where Jamie was already waiting for her and Ying Fa. "Come on Ying Fa don't look so dead this is a good thing"
"I don't see how it is" Ying Fa grumbled folding her arms as she walked through the door. She got in the back of the navigator since as Jamie had to sit in the front to give directions. 'I'm going to make his life a living hell for agreeing to fellow me around' she thought smiling at all the prospects.
"So how did you learn how to fight?" Sakura asked trying to make conversation, this boy was the quiet type but something about him she liked.
"Before my aunt died she used to run a martial arts program" Jamie answered frowning. "I learned there how to fight and use a sword"
"Did they have powers too?" she inquired wondering if she was being nosy but she wanted to know more.
"No, no one knew I had powers not even my foster mother" Jamie answered tightly not wanting to remember anything from the passed. That's all it was, his past and it wasn't a good one either.
"Oh, so you should be a junior since as Ying Fa and Syaoran are sophomores"
"Yeah a junior I won't have to fellow her around twenty-four hours right?" Sakura laughed shaking her head no.
"Not right, right behind her but you have to be in close distance to her. There's no need to drive her or anything, you have driver's license?"
"Yeah but I hate driving cars, I rather bikes" Jamie showing her where to turn. Ying sat in the back and watched as they drove more and more into the woods. It was a good thing that he wasn't going to follow her around a lot. Things could be worst, maybe her father would allow her to start seeing Ken again. "Stop here, we have to walk up to the cave," he added making Sakura slow to a stop.
They all walked up the small hill, Ying Fa made sure not to slip she was not wearing the right kind of shoes. Sakura frowned when they came to the cave opening, no child should be living in such conditions it was just unheard of. "I'll wait her mother" Ying Fa said stopping, Sakura looked at her and nodded following Jamie inside.
He created a small ball of light so Sakura could see where they were going. She looked around the damp area and saw that he had a bed made out of leaves with a blanket over it. A small bag that obviously had his stuff and a bonfire for the cold nights, she could feel her throat tighten seeing this living conditions. "It's bad, I know but there was nowhere else to stay" he commented making Sakura look at him. "Plus I had to keep an eyes you guys"
"Come on let's get out of here," Sakura spoke turning to leave.
"How come your daughter isn't anything like you?" Jamie asked surprising her. "I mean you're so kind and she's well"
"Ying Fa is a lot like me but right now she's going through a hard time. She'll come around though"
Syaoran.
He walked out of the school building only to see Ken leaning against his car, which made him frown. "See ya man" Marcus waved leaving with his girl friend.
"Yeah" Syaoran replied walking over to his car with a frown on his face. "What do you want?" he asked in an emotionless voice.
"I want to know why Ying Fa hasn't called me?" Ken spoke getting down to it he knew something was up.
"Well let me see" Syaoran bit out. "You two were dating in secret for six months, you talked her into hiding her powers. And because of that, you and her almost got your selves killed if it wasn't for that boy" he nearly yelled taking an aggressive step towards Ken.
"She did it out of her free will, I didn't pressure her to" Ken defended smiling. "It's not my fault her family won't let her date who she wants. She loves me and there's nothing the Li Clan can do to change that"
"There's a lot they can do about it since the whole ordeal with your mother" Syaoran replied coldly going around to his side of the car.
"You leave my mother out of this she's fine without your father" Ken defended surprising Syaoran who had to idea he spoke with his mother.
"Whatever just stay away from my sister before you regret it" Syaoran spat getting in his car. Ken barely moved out of the way to avoid his toes getting run over when Syaoran pulled out.
"There's nothing you or anyone can do to stop me from getting Ying Fa" Ken whispered heading to the school to sign up for his class.
