Author's note: hey I'm updating because it's a snow day, again LOL you'll be hearing from me on Saturday because I'm going to start updating regularly so I can please ya'll. Ne ways I hope ya'll enjoy and sorry for taking so long but my exams aren't over until Monday.
If there are question in the reviews I can't answer cause from the last time I updated I haven't checked my mail.
Ally knocked on Ying Fa's door before opening it only to see her best friend on her bed. "Ying Fa aren't you going to come with us?" she asked walking over to the bed, Ying Fa looked up at Ally blankly.
"Come to what?" she asked before going back to her homework. This had probably been the worst three days of school in her entire life.
"To the beach, you could even invite Ken" Ally said hoping it would get Ying Fa's attention and it did. It was Saturday; Ying Fa was still upset with Jamie and was wondering why her parents were still keeping him around when that guy hadn't shown up.
"Who's all going?" Ying Fa asked closing her book.
"Well Syaoran, um Marcus, Sari, David and his girlfriend and some other people from the team" Ally answered softly.
"Jamie isn't going?" Ying Fa inquired slightly surprised at this Ally smiled nodding.
"Oh he'll be there he drove the twins and your mother to a shoot" Ally answered making Ying Fa frown reconsidering. "Come on Ying Fa I don't see why you don't like him he's so nice"
"Because for one he only joined the team to get back at me and Ken, two he's friends with my brother and now everyone asks me about him" Ying Fa shouted waving her hands in the air this made Ally laugh.
"That's it? That's not fair Fa, he joined the team because he wanted to and he got in because he was the best. You can't keep on disliking him because he doesn't like your boyfriend, that doesn't make any sense and is just childish," Ally stated getting serious.
"And now your on his side like Sari" Ying Fa cried folding her arms over her chest.
"Listen its your fault that he's here in the first place. If you hadn't kept his necklace he wouldn't be here and that guy wouldn't have met you and now wants you" Ally yelled back frowning at Ying Fa who looked like she was going to cry. "I don't mean to yell but do you ever wonder how he feels knowing that the only reason he's living here and going to a great school is because he has to constantly watch an ungrateful brat like you?" Ally's word stung Ying Fa had never been yelled at by Ally.
"Why are you defending him?"
"Because it's the truth, what happened to my best friend Ying Fa?" Ally asked glaring at Ying Fa. "If you want to come we'll be leaving in five minutes" with that she turned in her heels and walked out of the room leaving a tear stained face Ying Fa who hid her head in her pillow.
Later.
Jamie pulled up in the yard frowning, he was at the beach with everyone when his celled started to ring he didn't even have a chance to touch the sand. When he answered it was Ying Fa telling him that she was going out and he was to come and pick her up. He didn't know why she had to be such a bitch sometimes but it was starting to get on his nerves pretty badly. Opening the house door he walked inside only to come face to face with Xiao Lang who looked at him strangely. "I thought you were at the beach?"
"I was Li-san but Ying Fa called saying she wanted to go shopping" Jamie answered sighing this made Xiao Lang frown.
"For reference if your out with friends and she calls with out telling you in advance don't come running. And you don't have to call me Li-san only my mother, Xiao Lang is fine" Xiao Lang spoke not knowing that Ying Fa had over heard them.
"Thank you Xiao Lang-san" Jamie smiled leaving the door open because feel Ying Fa aura close by.
"How's playing soccer going?"
"It's fine, a lot of work out but I love the rush of the game" Jamie stated making Xiao Lang nod.
"Same here, we're still trying to figure out who this guy is. And why he wants you, Ying Fa and the necklace is there anything you might want to tell me?" Xiao Lang asked Jamie nodded closing the door. "Come with me" he added heading for his office. Jamie entered and closed the door before walking to the middle.
"I have these dreams" he started sitting down like Xiao Lang who nodded for him to continue. "Its like I'm somewhere in the past, the same man, me and a girl were at the edge of a river right below a mountain. She's thrown into to the raging river by Zaroff but I wasn't able to help her cause I was stuck in place by a binding spell" Jamie sighed remembering every little detail. Ying Fa hid her power as she listened outside the office. "I knew that I must have loved this person a lot because of all the emotions. I felt her life force fade and there was nothing I could do to help her. When he was sure she was dead he let me go and disappeared in victory because if he couldn't have her nor could I"
"Your saying that Ying Fa is her reincarnation like you are of the boy?" Xiao Lang interrupted but Jamie nodded no sighing.
"She's not the girl but I am the boy, we were supposed to be reborn together but something went wrong. The night I was fighting with Zaroff he said he had killed her in the other life; the one I wasn't in but even though I wasn't there she married and had children. I don't understand what I'm supposed to do and now he wants Ying Fa or your wife I'm not sure which one"
"Why would he want Sakura?"
"Because don't you see the resemblance between her and Ying Fa? And probably because miss Sakura looks exactly like blossom when Ying Fa only has eyes but different hair color. I don't understand how the necklace wants to stay with her though" Xiao Lang frowned listening to what the boy said as he got up thinking about what was said. "Besides Ying Fa is still a child, Zaroff was younger when he fell in love with blossom now he's aged because of how long he's waited for me"
"Thank you for telling me this, I'll have to make sure Sakura doesn't go out with me from now on. I don't like this one bit" Xiao Lang stated sighing.
"I guess I'll take Ying Fa to where ever she wants to go" Jamie said standing up Xiao Lang nodded.
"And don't let her boss you around. She's till supposed to be grounded and make sure you keep an eye on her"
"I will" Jamie said rather reluctantly when Ying Fa quickly moved from the door.
"She was never like this I don't know what happened" Jamie nodded before leaving Xiao Lang who had to go and see the elders immediately.
"It's about time you got here" Ying Fa said in a not so nice tone when he walked out of the room, Jamie looked at her and frowned walking out the door. She hadn't meant for it to come out that way.
"Where do you want to go?" Jamie asked starting the car as she buckled up; he glanced at her when she didn't say anything. Originally she had wanted to go to Kens but right now that didn't seem like a good idea.
"To the beach where everyone is" Ying Fa finally answered Jamie nodded silently pulling off. She looked at him as they drove in silence wondering how he never spoke to her like he did with the others. "Who's all there?"
"A bunch of people mostly juniors" he answered simply leaving the conversation hanging. When he hadn't made a move to continue talking Ying Fa tried to think of something to say.
"How are things going with school and all?" she asked lamely frowning like Jamie who was wondering why she was asking so much questions.
"Fine, everything's great" she nearly growled seeing that this was a one- sided conversation. Why he have to be so mean towards her 'because you were mean towards him' her mind answered. "I'm sorry" she spoke having thought about what Ally had said, maybe she was being unfair.
"For what?" Jamie asked turning unto the road what led towards the beach, he watched her fidget with her skirt looking down.
"For what I said the first day of school it was wrong of me" Ying Fa whispered looking at him but he wasn't looking at her but towards the road. "Aren't you going to say something?" she asked when the other cars came into view.
"What would you want me to say?" Jamie asked bluntly pulling up beside Syaoran's car, Ying Fa look away. "Fine apology accepted" he sighed turning the car off then got out with her following his example.
Ying Fa took off her shoes and shirt showing her bikini top as they walked towards the others. Jamie made sure to look straight ahead not wanting to look at her even though he surely wanted to look 'for the love of god' he groaned inwardly. "Are you okay?" Ying Fa asked seeing the strained look on his face.
"Yeah I'm fine" Jamie answered tightly not looking at her.
"It's about time you showed up" Angel said running up to them, Ying Fa didn't know that Angel would have been there. "You know its not good that you pick me up, drop me off and then just leave" she spoke wrapping her arms around Jamie's neck as she planted a kiss on his lips. Ying Fa looked down as she continued to walk even though they had stopped. Okay she wasn't expecting them to just get together so fast after only what about three days.
"Ying Fa I didn't know you were going to come" Sari smiled walking up to her friend. "What's the matter?"
"Oh nothing, where's Syaoran and Ally?" Ying Fa smiled trying to look at happy, why was she sad anyways?
"Out there hitting the waves on the jet ski" Sari pointed to the small dots as she pulled Ying Fa over to the rest of the people.
"Well if it isn't Ying Fa, tell me where's your other half?" Marcus joked making Ying Fa frown.
"What do you mean?"
"Well what he means is where is Ken, we thought ya'll were permanently attached" another spoke making the others laugh.
"We aren't and he's home" Ying Fa shot back dropping her shirt before sitting down on the blanket. If she had known they would joke her she would have stayed.
"Are you sure about that? I was sure he was at the party last night with Becky or was I mistaken?" a girl chirped looking at Becky who blushed looking down. Ying Fa couldn't believe what she was hearing, Ken never told her he was going to the party. She looked down where Jamie and Angel were wondering if he and the others knew that Ken was the party as well.
"You lie, Ally would have told me cause she went" Ying Fa replied confidently smiling.
"Actually he showed up right after your brother and Jamie left it's like he was timing" Nikki stated giggling. "He was there after the Honda's party too I think he drove Martina home. Listen Ying Fa we're only telling you this because you're Syaoran's sister and we don't want you get to hurt"
"SO you make out with my boyfriend then come and tell me that you don't want me to get hurt?" Ying Fa asked in a strained voice as she got up not wanting to believe what they were saying. Ken wouldn't do that to her, he loved her no they were lying. "You sluts, yeah that's what you all are. They are so many guys at our school but no you have to fool around with a sophomore"
"Who are you calling a slut miss perfect?" Nikki asked standing up with a pissed off look. Marcus stood back knowing that Nikki was going to get it and good.
"You" Ying Fa screamed socking her right in the face making Nikki stumble back before jumping on Ying Fa.
"Chick fight" one of the guys yelled watching Ying Fa got on top of Nikki and punch her in the face again. This got the attention of Jamie and Syaoran who was just getting off the Jet Ski with Ally. Jamie left Angel and ran towards the fight pulling Ying Fa off Nikki whose mouth was bleeding, Ying Fa was still kicking and struggling to break free as she cried. Jamie held her tightly off the ground so she could calm down.
"Let me go I'm not finished with her yet. Dammit Jamie," she screamed wanting to make Nikki pay as the other girls help her up. Jamie and the others almost stumbled back feeling her powers surge uncontrollably.
"What the hell is going on?" Syaoran asked looking at Ying Fa who broke out of Jamie's hold and hugged her brother crying her eyes out. "Ying Fa what's the matter?" he asked hugging her, Ally and Jamie looking on with lost expressions.
"It's about Ken and how he was at Fridays party, apparently he made out with Becky and Martina on different occasions" Sari stated softly. Syaoran's anger build towards Ken 'he's going to pay' he thought holding his sister. Becky and another girl took Nikki away as she held her nose.
"I want to go home" Ying Fa whispered brokenly trying to stop her tears but the betrayal of him was too strong.
"I'll bring her home" Jamie offered softly not knowing why but he wanted to beat the bloody pulp out of Ken and he had a feeling Syaoran was feeling the same thing.
"Are you sure cause I could bring her home" Syaoran replied looking at all of them. He knew he would have to call his parents and tell them that everyone was okay and they shouldn't come running.
"Naw it's my job anyways, don't worry about it" Jamie said walking over to them; he placed his hand on Ying Fa's shoulder. "Come on brat let's go"
"No" Ying Fa replied shrugging his hand away.
"Come on" Jamie tried again making Syaoran smirk nodding. He sighed picked her up in his arms surprising Ying Fa and making Angel and Sari frown not liking that. "I'll see you guys later" he said to everyone before he walked off carrying Ying Fa like a baby.
"Do you think I should go?" Ally asked smiling; Syaoran looked at her and nodded no knowing that Jamie would take care of it. He looked at them when they disappeared around the corner.
"You can put me down now" Ying Fa mumbled her head on his chest.
"I thought you were enjoying me carry you" Jamie replied setting her down in front of the ground. Ying Fa smiled looking down at her body that was now covered with sand and sighed.
"Don't get used to it" Ying Fa spoke mentally commanding the erase card to get rid of the sand making her look brand new.
"Nice trick" Jamie commented dryly walking to the drivers side when Ying Fa got in feeling horrible. She knew she should have stayed home and it was a good thing she hadn't gone to see Ken.
"Can we go anywhere but home, I don't want my parents to see me like this" Ying Fa asked when he backed out; Jamie nodded thinking of somewhere to bring her. Ying Fa wiped her tears away when he turned in the opposite direction of home to down town Hong Kong. "Where are we going?"
"I don't know," he admitted making her laugh softly. She was trying to bring her mood up from gloomy; she was trying to convince her self that what they said was a lie.
"That's not a good thing ya know" Ying Fa pointed out playing with the necklace that was a new habit for her. "What do I tell people when they asked me where I got this from?" Jamie looked at the necklace, which he hadn't held in such a long time, it had always been a comfort to him.
"Tell them that I gave it too you, since as I was the one who lost it" Jamie answered softly when he noticed a deli near the beach and decided to stop. "We're here"
"Where's here?" Ying Fa asked putting her skirt on then sandals. Jamie had to bent down to see the sign.
"Dell's Deli" he answered turning the car off. "Do you like ice cream?" Ying Fa nodded getting out. "Good cause I love ice cream" Jamie spoke setting the alarm. When they walked into the small Deli everyone looked at them, since as she was only wearing her bikini top and a skirt and he was shirtless with a visor on.
"Can I help you?" the man behind the counter asked smiling at them.
"Anything the lady wants" Jamie spoke thanking god that he was given allowance even though he didn't know why since as they were paying for his schooling. The man smiled nodding as he looked at Ying Fa who was busy reading the menu.
"Um I'll have a double scoop of chocolate ice cream" she spoke smiling, wondering if they noticed she had been crying. "I'll be right back" she spoke heading towards the bathroom with her bag.
"For you sir?"
"Um double scoop of cookies n' cream" Jamie answered seeing that the man wasn't smiling any longer. 'he probably thinks I made her cry' he thought getting the money for pay for the ice cream. "Can I have some quarters?" he asked noticing that stuffed animal machine. The man nodded giving him four quarters, Jamie walked over to the machine when a black wolf caught his attention smiling he put the coins in.
"Poor kids, probably had an argument" the man whispered scooping up the ice cream 'at least he's making up for it' he thought watching Jamie try to get the wolf, though he knew that it was the hardest to get out. Ying Fa walked out of the bathroom only to see Jamie playing a game, she sighed going to the counter for the ice cream.
"Wow that's some necklace," a girl said looking at it with wide eyes Ying Fa smiled nodding. "Is it real?" she inquired taking a closer look.
"Yeah, Jamie gave it to me" Ying Fa spoke smiling when she took her ice cream then Jamie's. "Jamie lets go enough games" she called making him turn around hiding something behind his back. "What are you hiding?" she asked smiling.
"Nothing" Jamie smiled walking over to her Ying Fa raised a brow at him skeptically making his smile widen.
"No games let me see" she spoke trying to look around him not caring that everyone was looking at them. "Please?" she begged as they went in a circle.
"How bad do you want to see it?" Jamie laughed getting a glare from her.
"Jamie stop playing" Ying Fa whined pouting, Jamie couldn't believe how cute she looked at the moment.
"I won myself," he answered seeing that she didn't get it, he removed the black wolf from behind him making her gasp.
"Wolf, he's pretty," she said reaching for it but he raised it above his head.
"And this one to go with it by luck" he added showing her the white one that had a pink nose; Ying Fa totally loved stuffed animals.
"Who are they for Angel?" she asked somewhat sadly. Jamie didn't answer as he walked to the doors leaving her to follow holding both ice cream. "Well?"
"Why do you want to know?" he asked resting them on a bench where he sat, sighing she sat beside him handing his ice cream. Silently she ate hers not wanting to answer his question. "Well?"
"Well what, don't worry about it" she said sadly looking down at the ground. This was a lovely day but her mood was nothing like it.
"They are yours you know, I won them hoping it would cheer you up" Jamie finally said making her look at him disbelievingly. "Really"
"Really? Oh thank you" Ying Fa said hugging him before she could stop her self. She pulled away hoping she wasn't red, "I love stuffed animals you should see my room" she laughed nervously touching the black ones ear. "How are you able to do that?" she asked softly as they finished up.
"Transform?" Ying Fa nodded looking at the road, her mood a little better. "I don't know, one night I was running from my aunts house after her funeral when it just happened. From then I slowly learned how to control it"
"That's cool"
"No it's not because when I come out of it I'm butt naked as you already know" Jamie pointed out making her laugh trying not to blush. "Where do you want to go now?"
"I want to show you something," Ying Fa said when an idea struck her. Jamie nodded getting up she threw their napkins in the trash before picking up her new stuffed animals. "Itai." She said when something bit her, Jamie walked form his side to her side wondering what was wrong.
"Are you okay?" he asked seeing her rub her neck wincing.
"I don't know something bit me on my neck" Ying Fa answered softly trying to see.
"Here let me," Jamie offered turning her so her face was towards the road, he bent his head to see the mark.
A red car drove by with two people in it, Ken looked out the window of the car only to see two people who looked they were kissing. The girl turned and slapped the guy in his arm laughing, his eyes narrowed seeing that it was Ying Fa and Jamie. "What's the matter son?" San asked looking at her son's hand clench.
"It's Ying Fa and Jamie" he answered making her look before they went out of view.
"I thought you said they didn't get along?"
"They didn't the last time I spoke to her and that was this morning. She said she would have tried to come over the house but she didn't show up" San frowned hearing what her son said.
"Your mean" Ying Fa said trying to hit Jamie but he evaded her laughing as he shook his head.
"But there's nothing there you big baby" he defended looking at her smiling face.
"I felt something" Ying Fa said folding her arms over her chest. Jamie chuckled walking up to her trying to put on an apologetic face but was failing miserably just like she was failing to put on an angry face.
"Humph Chan Jamie your mean" Ying Fa tried to yelled putting up her fist this made Jamie raise a brow at her. "I can hurt you"
"I know but lets not do that, we wouldn't want to give everyone here a show besides we still have our last stop" Jamie stated making her put down her fist and smile. "Good girl"
"Whatever" Ying Fa stuck out her at him getting in as he headed for the drivers side.
"How come you don't drive?" he asked pulling out.
"No one ever lets me, since as you drive and Syaoran drives" Ying Fa shrugged holding her new teddies.
"I'll need directions so we don't get lost" Jamie said pulling down the window she nodded relaxing in the chair. He was glad to see that she looked better; he didn't want her going home looking how she did earlier.
"So are you and Angel going out?" Ying Fa asked when he turned right.
"Nope not yet I don't think I want to go out with her" Jamie answered. "Which way?"
"The first left then go all the way down until we come to a park," Ying Fa answered smiling at the fact that they weren't going out yet she didn't know why she was smiling.
"What are you going to do about Ken?"
"I don't know yet, in truth I don't even want to think about it" Ying Fa answered softly. Jamie took her hand in his reassuringly making her smile not letting go of his hand.
When they parked the car they walked towards the center of the park passing couples on the way. "So what are you going to see?" Jamie asked as they walked side by side.
"It's a surprise, come on," Ying Fa said taking his hand in hers as she ran off taking him along with her. He didn't know how long they walked but slowed when a statue of a man came into sight, he looked like a hero out of a fairy tale story.
"Who's that?" Jamie asked looking the man strangely.
"Why that's you of course," Ying Fa answered smiling, as she looked at him then the statue. "Though he looks nothing like you," she observed seeing him frown. "I overheard your conversation with dad" Jamie looked at skeptically. "Okay I was ease dropping" she amended guiltily. "That's when I remember this story that our teacher told us"
"What's the story?" Jamie asked touching the statue.
"Well let's see it's practically the same as that one you told father except I know why you're here. You're here because the magician who sent you into the future made a mistake and sent you a couple hundred years into the future while she was born into the past and has already died" Ying Fa explained but stopped seeing the solemn look on his face. "What's the matter Jamie?"
"Don't you see, if she's dead already then I came all the way here for nothing. She was supposed to be my other half but now she's dead and I'm still living by myself" Jamie answered making Ying Fa wonder if it was the right thing to bring him here.
"I'm sorry Jamie," she whispered resting her hand on his shoulder when he turned away and started to walk. "What are you going to do now?" she stepped in pace with him. She didn't understand how a person could love someone they had never met before, could the old love be that strong?
"Get rid of Zaroff even if it kills me, then move on" Jamie answered softly, she didn't like that one bit. But like he said what's her name was his other half and he was alone without her and now she took the only thing he had off her from him.
"No you have my family and you can stay with us as long as you want" Ying Fa offered stopping him. She looked into his deep blue eyes only seeing loneliness something she had never felt in her entire life. Acting on impulse she hugged him tightly not ever wanting to feel what he was feeling at this moment. "I'm sorry," she whispered softly.
Home.
"Do you think they'll be home soon?" Ally asked sitting beside Syaoran who nodded smiling at her, this made her feel bubbly inside.
"Yeah I called him before I got here, he said they were on their way home. They must have been far because that was a while ago" Syaoran stated knowing that dinner would be in thirty minutes.
"What are you going to do about Ken?"
"I don't know yet I'll know however when I see him in school" Syaoran answered in an angry tone making Ally put her hand on his.
"Don't do anything that will get you in trouble" she spoke softly. Syaoran looked into her amethyst eyes suddenly feeling drawn into them. But Ally made the initiative moving slowly towards him.
"Syaoran, Ally come here please" came Sakura's voice making them jump apart blushing furiously. They got up and walked out into the hall trying to get their faces to cool down. "Are you two all right?" she asked seeing the looks on their faces.
"We're fine, mother" Syaoran got out when Xiao Lang walked into the room and look at them strangely.
"Have you spoken to Ying Fa or Jamie?" she asked in a soft tone.
"Yeah he said that they were on their way home," Syaoran answered when the sound of a car pulling out came from out side. They all looked at the door when Ying Fa came through laughing with Jamie's visor on, then a frowning Jamie afterwards.
"Hello mother, father" she giggled happily making them smile and Ally wonder what had happened. "I'll go shower and get for dinner" she spoke grabbing Ally's hand with her two stuffed animals in her arms. They all watched as she ran up the stairs dragging poor Ally with her, all eyes turned in Jamie who looked uncomfortable.
"She's better," Syaoran commented looking at Jamie who had his hood on. Jamie nodded sighing. "What's the matter?"
"Nothing man, I'm just never going to let her get near my head ever again" Jamie answered tightly heading for the stairs but as he passed Xiao Lang he pulled his hood back and he had to hide the amusement on his face while Sakura started to giggle.
"Wow dude" Syaoran laughed seeing his hair that was up in two ponytails, Jamie glared him heading for the stairs. "That's a nice look for you" Sakura looked on helplessly happy that her daughter was in a better mood.
Author's note: So? Like dislike totally hate? I'm starting to get writers block crazy and I'm struggling. I've got a few ideas and I'll try to write them down before I totally blank. Well I'll be seeing ya'll Saturday.
Author's note: hey I'm updating because it's a snow day, again LOL you'll be hearing from me on Saturday because I'm going to start updating regularly so I can please ya'll. Ne ways I hope ya'll enjoy and sorry for taking so long but my exams aren't over until Monday.
If there are question in the reviews I can't answer cause from the last time I updated I haven't checked my mail.
Ally knocked on Ying Fa's door before opening it only to see her best friend on her bed. "Ying Fa aren't you going to come with us?" she asked walking over to the bed, Ying Fa looked up at Ally blankly.
"Come to what?" she asked before going back to her homework. This had probably been the worst three days of school in her entire life.
"To the beach, you could even invite Ken" Ally said hoping it would get Ying Fa's attention and it did. It was Saturday; Ying Fa was still upset with Jamie and was wondering why her parents were still keeping him around when that guy hadn't shown up.
"Who's all going?" Ying Fa asked closing her book.
"Well Syaoran, um Marcus, Sari, David and his girlfriend and some other people from the team" Ally answered softly.
"Jamie isn't going?" Ying Fa inquired slightly surprised at this Ally smiled nodding.
"Oh he'll be there he drove the twins and your mother to a shoot" Ally answered making Ying Fa frown reconsidering. "Come on Ying Fa I don't see why you don't like him he's so nice"
"Because for one he only joined the team to get back at me and Ken, two he's friends with my brother and now everyone asks me about him" Ying Fa shouted waving her hands in the air this made Ally laugh.
"That's it? That's not fair Fa, he joined the team because he wanted to and he got in because he was the best. You can't keep on disliking him because he doesn't like your boyfriend, that doesn't make any sense and is just childish," Ally stated getting serious.
"And now your on his side like Sari" Ying Fa cried folding her arms over her chest.
"Listen its your fault that he's here in the first place. If you hadn't kept his necklace he wouldn't be here and that guy wouldn't have met you and now wants you" Ally yelled back frowning at Ying Fa who looked like she was going to cry. "I don't mean to yell but do you ever wonder how he feels knowing that the only reason he's living here and going to a great school is because he has to constantly watch an ungrateful brat like you?" Ally's word stung Ying Fa had never been yelled at by Ally.
"Why are you defending him?"
"Because it's the truth, what happened to my best friend Ying Fa?" Ally asked glaring at Ying Fa. "If you want to come we'll be leaving in five minutes" with that she turned in her heels and walked out of the room leaving a tear stained face Ying Fa who hid her head in her pillow.
Later.
Jamie pulled up in the yard frowning, he was at the beach with everyone when his celled started to ring he didn't even have a chance to touch the sand. When he answered it was Ying Fa telling him that she was going out and he was to come and pick her up. He didn't know why she had to be such a bitch sometimes but it was starting to get on his nerves pretty badly. Opening the house door he walked inside only to come face to face with Xiao Lang who looked at him strangely. "I thought you were at the beach?"
"I was Li-san but Ying Fa called saying she wanted to go shopping" Jamie answered sighing this made Xiao Lang frown.
"For reference if your out with friends and she calls with out telling you in advance don't come running. And you don't have to call me Li-san only my mother, Xiao Lang is fine" Xiao Lang spoke not knowing that Ying Fa had over heard them.
"Thank you Xiao Lang-san" Jamie smiled leaving the door open because feel Ying Fa aura close by.
"How's playing soccer going?"
"It's fine, a lot of work out but I love the rush of the game" Jamie stated making Xiao Lang nod.
"Same here, we're still trying to figure out who this guy is. And why he wants you, Ying Fa and the necklace is there anything you might want to tell me?" Xiao Lang asked Jamie nodded closing the door. "Come with me" he added heading for his office. Jamie entered and closed the door before walking to the middle.
"I have these dreams" he started sitting down like Xiao Lang who nodded for him to continue. "Its like I'm somewhere in the past, the same man, me and a girl were at the edge of a river right below a mountain. She's thrown into to the raging river by Zaroff but I wasn't able to help her cause I was stuck in place by a binding spell" Jamie sighed remembering every little detail. Ying Fa hid her power as she listened outside the office. "I knew that I must have loved this person a lot because of all the emotions. I felt her life force fade and there was nothing I could do to help her. When he was sure she was dead he let me go and disappeared in victory because if he couldn't have her nor could I"
"Your saying that Ying Fa is her reincarnation like you are of the boy?" Xiao Lang interrupted but Jamie nodded no sighing.
"She's not the girl but I am the boy, we were supposed to be reborn together but something went wrong. The night I was fighting with Zaroff he said he had killed her in the other life; the one I wasn't in but even though I wasn't there she married and had children. I don't understand what I'm supposed to do and now he wants Ying Fa or your wife I'm not sure which one"
"Why would he want Sakura?"
"Because don't you see the resemblance between her and Ying Fa? And probably because miss Sakura looks exactly like blossom when Ying Fa only has eyes but different hair color. I don't understand how the necklace wants to stay with her though" Xiao Lang frowned listening to what the boy said as he got up thinking about what was said. "Besides Ying Fa is still a child, Zaroff was younger when he fell in love with blossom now he's aged because of how long he's waited for me"
"Thank you for telling me this, I'll have to make sure Sakura doesn't go out with me from now on. I don't like this one bit" Xiao Lang stated sighing.
"I guess I'll take Ying Fa to where ever she wants to go" Jamie said standing up Xiao Lang nodded.
"And don't let her boss you around. She's till supposed to be grounded and make sure you keep an eye on her"
"I will" Jamie said rather reluctantly when Ying Fa quickly moved from the door.
"She was never like this I don't know what happened" Jamie nodded before leaving Xiao Lang who had to go and see the elders immediately.
"It's about time you got here" Ying Fa said in a not so nice tone when he walked out of the room, Jamie looked at her and frowned walking out the door. She hadn't meant for it to come out that way.
"Where do you want to go?" Jamie asked starting the car as she buckled up; he glanced at her when she didn't say anything. Originally she had wanted to go to Kens but right now that didn't seem like a good idea.
"To the beach where everyone is" Ying Fa finally answered Jamie nodded silently pulling off. She looked at him as they drove in silence wondering how he never spoke to her like he did with the others. "Who's all there?"
"A bunch of people mostly juniors" he answered simply leaving the conversation hanging. When he hadn't made a move to continue talking Ying Fa tried to think of something to say.
"How are things going with school and all?" she asked lamely frowning like Jamie who was wondering why she was asking so much questions.
"Fine, everything's great" she nearly growled seeing that this was a one- sided conversation. Why he have to be so mean towards her 'because you were mean towards him' her mind answered. "I'm sorry" she spoke having thought about what Ally had said, maybe she was being unfair.
"For what?" Jamie asked turning unto the road what led towards the beach, he watched her fidget with her skirt looking down.
"For what I said the first day of school it was wrong of me" Ying Fa whispered looking at him but he wasn't looking at her but towards the road. "Aren't you going to say something?" she asked when the other cars came into view.
"What would you want me to say?" Jamie asked bluntly pulling up beside Syaoran's car, Ying Fa look away. "Fine apology accepted" he sighed turning the car off then got out with her following his example.
Ying Fa took off her shoes and shirt showing her bikini top as they walked towards the others. Jamie made sure to look straight ahead not wanting to look at her even though he surely wanted to look 'for the love of god' he groaned inwardly. "Are you okay?" Ying Fa asked seeing the strained look on his face.
"Yeah I'm fine" Jamie answered tightly not looking at her.
"It's about time you showed up" Angel said running up to them, Ying Fa didn't know that Angel would have been there. "You know its not good that you pick me up, drop me off and then just leave" she spoke wrapping her arms around Jamie's neck as she planted a kiss on his lips. Ying Fa looked down as she continued to walk even though they had stopped. Okay she wasn't expecting them to just get together so fast after only what about three days.
"Ying Fa I didn't know you were going to come" Sari smiled walking up to her friend. "What's the matter?"
"Oh nothing, where's Syaoran and Ally?" Ying Fa smiled trying to look at happy, why was she sad anyways?
"Out there hitting the waves on the jet ski" Sari pointed to the small dots as she pulled Ying Fa over to the rest of the people.
"Well if it isn't Ying Fa, tell me where's your other half?" Marcus joked making Ying Fa frown.
"What do you mean?"
"Well what he means is where is Ken, we thought ya'll were permanently attached" another spoke making the others laugh.
"We aren't and he's home" Ying Fa shot back dropping her shirt before sitting down on the blanket. If she had known they would joke her she would have stayed.
"Are you sure about that? I was sure he was at the party last night with Becky or was I mistaken?" a girl chirped looking at Becky who blushed looking down. Ying Fa couldn't believe what she was hearing, Ken never told her he was going to the party. She looked down where Jamie and Angel were wondering if he and the others knew that Ken was the party as well.
"You lie, Ally would have told me cause she went" Ying Fa replied confidently smiling.
"Actually he showed up right after your brother and Jamie left it's like he was timing" Nikki stated giggling. "He was there after the Honda's party too I think he drove Martina home. Listen Ying Fa we're only telling you this because you're Syaoran's sister and we don't want you get to hurt"
"SO you make out with my boyfriend then come and tell me that you don't want me to get hurt?" Ying Fa asked in a strained voice as she got up not wanting to believe what they were saying. Ken wouldn't do that to her, he loved her no they were lying. "You sluts, yeah that's what you all are. They are so many guys at our school but no you have to fool around with a sophomore"
"Who are you calling a slut miss perfect?" Nikki asked standing up with a pissed off look. Marcus stood back knowing that Nikki was going to get it and good.
"You" Ying Fa screamed socking her right in the face making Nikki stumble back before jumping on Ying Fa.
"Chick fight" one of the guys yelled watching Ying Fa got on top of Nikki and punch her in the face again. This got the attention of Jamie and Syaoran who was just getting off the Jet Ski with Ally. Jamie left Angel and ran towards the fight pulling Ying Fa off Nikki whose mouth was bleeding, Ying Fa was still kicking and struggling to break free as she cried. Jamie held her tightly off the ground so she could calm down.
"Let me go I'm not finished with her yet. Dammit Jamie," she screamed wanting to make Nikki pay as the other girls help her up. Jamie and the others almost stumbled back feeling her powers surge uncontrollably.
"What the hell is going on?" Syaoran asked looking at Ying Fa who broke out of Jamie's hold and hugged her brother crying her eyes out. "Ying Fa what's the matter?" he asked hugging her, Ally and Jamie looking on with lost expressions.
"It's about Ken and how he was at Fridays party, apparently he made out with Becky and Martina on different occasions" Sari stated softly. Syaoran's anger build towards Ken 'he's going to pay' he thought holding his sister. Becky and another girl took Nikki away as she held her nose.
"I want to go home" Ying Fa whispered brokenly trying to stop her tears but the betrayal of him was too strong.
"I'll bring her home" Jamie offered softly not knowing why but he wanted to beat the bloody pulp out of Ken and he had a feeling Syaoran was feeling the same thing.
"Are you sure cause I could bring her home" Syaoran replied looking at all of them. He knew he would have to call his parents and tell them that everyone was okay and they shouldn't come running.
"Naw it's my job anyways, don't worry about it" Jamie said walking over to them; he placed his hand on Ying Fa's shoulder. "Come on brat let's go"
"No" Ying Fa replied shrugging his hand away.
"Come on" Jamie tried again making Syaoran smirk nodding. He sighed picked her up in his arms surprising Ying Fa and making Angel and Sari frown not liking that. "I'll see you guys later" he said to everyone before he walked off carrying Ying Fa like a baby.
"Do you think I should go?" Ally asked smiling; Syaoran looked at her and nodded no knowing that Jamie would take care of it. He looked at them when they disappeared around the corner.
"You can put me down now" Ying Fa mumbled her head on his chest.
"I thought you were enjoying me carry you" Jamie replied setting her down in front of the ground. Ying Fa smiled looking down at her body that was now covered with sand and sighed.
"Don't get used to it" Ying Fa spoke mentally commanding the erase card to get rid of the sand making her look brand new.
"Nice trick" Jamie commented dryly walking to the drivers side when Ying Fa got in feeling horrible. She knew she should have stayed home and it was a good thing she hadn't gone to see Ken.
"Can we go anywhere but home, I don't want my parents to see me like this" Ying Fa asked when he backed out; Jamie nodded thinking of somewhere to bring her. Ying Fa wiped her tears away when he turned in the opposite direction of home to down town Hong Kong. "Where are we going?"
"I don't know," he admitted making her laugh softly. She was trying to bring her mood up from gloomy; she was trying to convince her self that what they said was a lie.
"That's not a good thing ya know" Ying Fa pointed out playing with the necklace that was a new habit for her. "What do I tell people when they asked me where I got this from?" Jamie looked at the necklace, which he hadn't held in such a long time, it had always been a comfort to him.
"Tell them that I gave it too you, since as I was the one who lost it" Jamie answered softly when he noticed a deli near the beach and decided to stop. "We're here"
"Where's here?" Ying Fa asked putting her skirt on then sandals. Jamie had to bent down to see the sign.
"Dell's Deli" he answered turning the car off. "Do you like ice cream?" Ying Fa nodded getting out. "Good cause I love ice cream" Jamie spoke setting the alarm. When they walked into the small Deli everyone looked at them, since as she was only wearing her bikini top and a skirt and he was shirtless with a visor on.
"Can I help you?" the man behind the counter asked smiling at them.
"Anything the lady wants" Jamie spoke thanking god that he was given allowance even though he didn't know why since as they were paying for his schooling. The man smiled nodding as he looked at Ying Fa who was busy reading the menu.
"Um I'll have a double scoop of chocolate ice cream" she spoke smiling, wondering if they noticed she had been crying. "I'll be right back" she spoke heading towards the bathroom with her bag.
"For you sir?"
"Um double scoop of cookies n' cream" Jamie answered seeing that the man wasn't smiling any longer. 'he probably thinks I made her cry' he thought getting the money for pay for the ice cream. "Can I have some quarters?" he asked noticing that stuffed animal machine. The man nodded giving him four quarters, Jamie walked over to the machine when a black wolf caught his attention smiling he put the coins in.
"Poor kids, probably had an argument" the man whispered scooping up the ice cream 'at least he's making up for it' he thought watching Jamie try to get the wolf, though he knew that it was the hardest to get out. Ying Fa walked out of the bathroom only to see Jamie playing a game, she sighed going to the counter for the ice cream.
"Wow that's some necklace," a girl said looking at it with wide eyes Ying Fa smiled nodding. "Is it real?" she inquired taking a closer look.
"Yeah, Jamie gave it to me" Ying Fa spoke smiling when she took her ice cream then Jamie's. "Jamie lets go enough games" she called making him turn around hiding something behind his back. "What are you hiding?" she asked smiling.
"Nothing" Jamie smiled walking over to her Ying Fa raised a brow at him skeptically making his smile widen.
"No games let me see" she spoke trying to look around him not caring that everyone was looking at them. "Please?" she begged as they went in a circle.
"How bad do you want to see it?" Jamie laughed getting a glare from her.
"Jamie stop playing" Ying Fa whined pouting, Jamie couldn't believe how cute she looked at the moment.
"I won myself," he answered seeing that she didn't get it, he removed the black wolf from behind him making her gasp.
"Wolf, he's pretty," she said reaching for it but he raised it above his head.
"And this one to go with it by luck" he added showing her the white one that had a pink nose; Ying Fa totally loved stuffed animals.
"Who are they for Angel?" she asked somewhat sadly. Jamie didn't answer as he walked to the doors leaving her to follow holding both ice cream. "Well?"
"Why do you want to know?" he asked resting them on a bench where he sat, sighing she sat beside him handing his ice cream. Silently she ate hers not wanting to answer his question. "Well?"
"Well what, don't worry about it" she said sadly looking down at the ground. This was a lovely day but her mood was nothing like it.
"They are yours you know, I won them hoping it would cheer you up" Jamie finally said making her look at him disbelievingly. "Really"
"Really? Oh thank you" Ying Fa said hugging him before she could stop her self. She pulled away hoping she wasn't red, "I love stuffed animals you should see my room" she laughed nervously touching the black ones ear. "How are you able to do that?" she asked softly as they finished up.
"Transform?" Ying Fa nodded looking at the road, her mood a little better. "I don't know, one night I was running from my aunts house after her funeral when it just happened. From then I slowly learned how to control it"
"That's cool"
"No it's not because when I come out of it I'm butt naked as you already know" Jamie pointed out making her laugh trying not to blush. "Where do you want to go now?"
"I want to show you something," Ying Fa said when an idea struck her. Jamie nodded getting up she threw their napkins in the trash before picking up her new stuffed animals. "Itai." She said when something bit her, Jamie walked form his side to her side wondering what was wrong.
"Are you okay?" he asked seeing her rub her neck wincing.
"I don't know something bit me on my neck" Ying Fa answered softly trying to see.
"Here let me," Jamie offered turning her so her face was towards the road, he bent his head to see the mark.
A red car drove by with two people in it, Ken looked out the window of the car only to see two people who looked they were kissing. The girl turned and slapped the guy in his arm laughing, his eyes narrowed seeing that it was Ying Fa and Jamie. "What's the matter son?" San asked looking at her son's hand clench.
"It's Ying Fa and Jamie" he answered making her look before they went out of view.
"I thought you said they didn't get along?"
"They didn't the last time I spoke to her and that was this morning. She said she would have tried to come over the house but she didn't show up" San frowned hearing what her son said.
"Your mean" Ying Fa said trying to hit Jamie but he evaded her laughing as he shook his head.
"But there's nothing there you big baby" he defended looking at her smiling face.
"I felt something" Ying Fa said folding her arms over her chest. Jamie chuckled walking up to her trying to put on an apologetic face but was failing miserably just like she was failing to put on an angry face.
"Humph Chan Jamie your mean" Ying Fa tried to yelled putting up her fist this made Jamie raise a brow at her. "I can hurt you"
"I know but lets not do that, we wouldn't want to give everyone here a show besides we still have our last stop" Jamie stated making her put down her fist and smile. "Good girl"
"Whatever" Ying Fa stuck out her at him getting in as he headed for the drivers side.
"How come you don't drive?" he asked pulling out.
"No one ever lets me, since as you drive and Syaoran drives" Ying Fa shrugged holding her new teddies.
"I'll need directions so we don't get lost" Jamie said pulling down the window she nodded relaxing in the chair. He was glad to see that she looked better; he didn't want her going home looking how she did earlier.
"So are you and Angel going out?" Ying Fa asked when he turned right.
"Nope not yet I don't think I want to go out with her" Jamie answered. "Which way?"
"The first left then go all the way down until we come to a park," Ying Fa answered smiling at the fact that they weren't going out yet she didn't know why she was smiling.
"What are you going to do about Ken?"
"I don't know yet, in truth I don't even want to think about it" Ying Fa answered softly. Jamie took her hand in his reassuringly making her smile not letting go of his hand.
When they parked the car they walked towards the center of the park passing couples on the way. "So what are you going to see?" Jamie asked as they walked side by side.
"It's a surprise, come on," Ying Fa said taking his hand in hers as she ran off taking him along with her. He didn't know how long they walked but slowed when a statue of a man came into sight, he looked like a hero out of a fairy tale story.
"Who's that?" Jamie asked looking the man strangely.
"Why that's you of course," Ying Fa answered smiling, as she looked at him then the statue. "Though he looks nothing like you," she observed seeing him frown. "I overheard your conversation with dad" Jamie looked at skeptically. "Okay I was ease dropping" she amended guiltily. "That's when I remember this story that our teacher told us"
"What's the story?" Jamie asked touching the statue.
"Well let's see it's practically the same as that one you told father except I know why you're here. You're here because the magician who sent you into the future made a mistake and sent you a couple hundred years into the future while she was born into the past and has already died" Ying Fa explained but stopped seeing the solemn look on his face. "What's the matter Jamie?"
"Don't you see, if she's dead already then I came all the way here for nothing. She was supposed to be my other half but now she's dead and I'm still living by myself" Jamie answered making Ying Fa wonder if it was the right thing to bring him here.
"I'm sorry Jamie," she whispered resting her hand on his shoulder when he turned away and started to walk. "What are you going to do now?" she stepped in pace with him. She didn't understand how a person could love someone they had never met before, could the old love be that strong?
"Get rid of Zaroff even if it kills me, then move on" Jamie answered softly, she didn't like that one bit. But like he said what's her name was his other half and he was alone without her and now she took the only thing he had off her from him.
"No you have my family and you can stay with us as long as you want" Ying Fa offered stopping him. She looked into his deep blue eyes only seeing loneliness something she had never felt in her entire life. Acting on impulse she hugged him tightly not ever wanting to feel what he was feeling at this moment. "I'm sorry," she whispered softly.
Home.
"Do you think they'll be home soon?" Ally asked sitting beside Syaoran who nodded smiling at her, this made her feel bubbly inside.
"Yeah I called him before I got here, he said they were on their way home. They must have been far because that was a while ago" Syaoran stated knowing that dinner would be in thirty minutes.
"What are you going to do about Ken?"
"I don't know yet I'll know however when I see him in school" Syaoran answered in an angry tone making Ally put her hand on his.
"Don't do anything that will get you in trouble" she spoke softly. Syaoran looked into her amethyst eyes suddenly feeling drawn into them. But Ally made the initiative moving slowly towards him.
"Syaoran, Ally come here please" came Sakura's voice making them jump apart blushing furiously. They got up and walked out into the hall trying to get their faces to cool down. "Are you two all right?" she asked seeing the looks on their faces.
"We're fine, mother" Syaoran got out when Xiao Lang walked into the room and look at them strangely.
"Have you spoken to Ying Fa or Jamie?" she asked in a soft tone.
"Yeah he said that they were on their way home," Syaoran answered when the sound of a car pulling out came from out side. They all looked at the door when Ying Fa came through laughing with Jamie's visor on, then a frowning Jamie afterwards.
"Hello mother, father" she giggled happily making them smile and Ally wonder what had happened. "I'll go shower and get for dinner" she spoke grabbing Ally's hand with her two stuffed animals in her arms. They all watched as she ran up the stairs dragging poor Ally with her, all eyes turned in Jamie who looked uncomfortable.
"She's better," Syaoran commented looking at Jamie who had his hood on. Jamie nodded sighing. "What's the matter?"
"Nothing man, I'm just never going to let her get near my head ever again" Jamie answered tightly heading for the stairs but as he passed Xiao Lang he pulled his hood back and he had to hide the amusement on his face while Sakura started to giggle.
"Wow dude" Syaoran laughed seeing his hair that was up in two ponytails, Jamie glared him heading for the stairs. "That's a nice look for you" Sakura looked on helplessly happy that her daughter was in a better mood.
