Chap. 10: "Emotions."
Author's note: thank to everyone who reviewed the last chapter, and I won't take that long to update anymore it was just hard with studying and all ya know? Ne ways on wit da story and stuff.
So fill me in" Ally near screamed watching Ying Fa who was in dream world. She was starting to wonder if she really loved Ken in that way. "Ying Fa" she looked at her friend as she jumped on the bed.
Ying Fa looked at Ally as she dried her hair out, she really didn't know what to think or how she felt right now. "I don't know, I know should be hurting but today Jamie was so nice to me it made me forget about Ken's betrayal" she sat on the bed looking at Ally sadly. "But it still hurts, why would Ken do this to me?"
"I don't know sweetie but he's a jerk" Ally spoke passionately hugging Ying Fa. "If you feel something for Jamie then take time and let it grow. He's not going anywhere"
"Oh but he is, he said so himself. He said that when that Zaroff guy is gone he would leave" Ying Fa stressed. "Argh I'm too young to be having this kind of problem," she growled in frustration.
"Ying Fa calm down, listen if you find your self feeling something by the time he leaves you'll just have to stop him. Even if we have to make up our own evil person" Ally declared unrealistically. They looked at each other before bursting out in fits of giggles.
"You'll help me make him stay if I find my self not able to leave him?" Ying Fa asked her best friend who nodded eagerly. "Arigatou Ally, now how are things with you and Syaoran?"
"Oh its getting better in fact we almost kissed before you got home but your mom called" Ally whined making Ying Fa giggle.
"Wow" she got out imagining her brothers face this caused her to giggle. "Don't worry he'll try again just watch" she assured as they hugged each other bursting with happiness. Ying Fa looked at the black wolf looking back at her on her bed 'please don't let this be like Ken, don't make him hurt me too' she prayed closing her eyes.
Dinner.
Ying Fa and Ally walked into the dining area, where everyone was, with bright smiles on their faces. Syaoran and Jamie shifted uncomfortably in their seats not looking at them. Ying Fa sat beside Syaoran, which was right in front of Jamie while Ally sat on the other side of Syaoran.
Ally smiled softly as she touched Syaoran hand under the table making him go red, this didn't go unnoticed by everyone. "Syaoran are you okay dear?" Sakura asked worriedly seeing his face go red this made Ying Fa laugh surprising them.
"No-n-no mother I'm fine" Syaoran stuttered clamping Ally's hand in his so she would stop caressing his hand. Xiao Lang had pretty good idea what was going and smiled knowingly making his son redden looking down.
"SO how was everyone's day?" Yelen asked making to break the uncomfortably silence in the room. At least the twins and younger children were playing softly, and Mei Hua was off to bed already having her dinner.
"Fine grandmamma" Ying Fa chirped smiling at Jamie who looked down, everyone was wondering what had happened between them. (I'm wondering my self LOL)
"Jamie said he's going to teach me how to play the flute tomorrow" Lin beamed giggling this made everyone smile. "I love Jamie" she beamed hugging him; Jamie smiled at the little girl.
"Really?" Sakura asked her second daughter who nodded grinning. "Well its good that everyone's feeling a lot better. We have wonderful news for Ying Fa"
"Really? What's that" Ying Fa asked looking up from her plate with curious eyes, Sakura smiled knowing she would like this.
"Well your father has agreed to lighten up so Ken can come and visit you here and call if he wanted to" Sakura stated her smiled faltered seeing the extremely sad look on Ying Fa's face and she noticed how quiet all four of them went.
"That's not necessary father thank you though" Ying Fa smiled holding back tears, boy was she going through major mood swings.
"What's the matter Ying Fa?" Xiao Lang asked softly looking at his daughters face, she had been sad a lot and he didn't like that. That's why he had agreed to allow Ken to see her (if they only knew) "I thought it would make you happy"
"It does, really" Ying Fa spoke looking down at her food. Jamie frowned knowing that she was going to start to cry soon though he didn't know how he knew this.
"Ying Fa?" Sakura whispered concerned.
"Mother Ken and I broke up" Ying Fa yelled jumping from the table shocking everyone as she stormed out of the room. Sakura couldn't contain her shock hearing this news.
"Ying Fa" she shouted going after her daughter, leaving everyone in silence.
"When did this happen?" Xiao Lang asked no one in particular but wanted an answer.
"Today at the beach we found out that Ken, well he hasn't been too faithful" Ally answered softly making Xiao Lang's fist clench. "That's why she and Jamie arrived home late, he took her out to cheer her up"
"That boy, I swear" Xiao Lang growled getting up from dinner. "I put him through school and this is how he repays me? By hurting my daughter, well no more" he spat walking out of the room leaving everyone.
"Oh dear" Yelen sighed smiling softly at the children.
"What's wrong with Ying Fa?" Xiao Rae asked his grandmother getting angry. Yelen knew that at moment it wasn't a good thing having such over protective males in the family.
"She's not feeling good, don't worry she'll be fine"
Sakura.
Sakura walked into her daughter's room only to see her on the bed crying her eyes out. Sighing sadly she walked over to the bed and placed her hand comfortingly on her daughter's back rubbing softly. "Oh Ying Fa I'm sorry" she spoke waiting until she cried out all of her sorrows. "Don't worry it'll be okay"
"Will it mother?" Ying Fa croaked looking up with tear stained eyes Sakura smiled wiping them away.
"Of course it will" she assured when Ying Fa moved into her arms resting her head on Sakura's lap as she caressed her hair. "Remember I was in the same position as you once"
"I know but you had us to make you feel better and you and father got together," Ying Fa explained. "That won't ever happen to me"
"Of course it will; everyone is made for someone. Ken just isn't yours" Sakura stated frowning. Now she knew why Xiao Lang, Syaoran, Touya and Yelen hadn't approved of her seeing Ken.
"Not me, just like Ken Jamie will end up leaving too" Ying Fa sighed surprising Sakura who was wondering what this had to do with Jamie.
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked looking at the two- stuffed wolf that obviously came from Jamie.
"I mean since I've seen Jamie I've felt attached to him. And it got even worst at school when my friends and all the other girls started to like him. I was jealous so I was mean and he ignored me fully unless he really had to talk to me, which was never" she stated in a pained voice. "Mother today when I cried my eyes out he took me for ice cream and won me the wolves. He was so nice as he tried to get my mind off Ken and it worked. I took him to the statue that's about that tale of him and told him the rest of it"
"What did he say?" Sakura asked already knowing it because Syaoran had told her while she and Jamie showered.
"He said that since as Blossom was already born and died, he's alone. And when Zaroff is dead he'll leave us" Ying Fa answered sniffling. "I don't want him to leave but he won't stay I just know it"
"Don't worry, he won' t leave" Sakura whispered caringly.
"No mother he's going to want to leave, he said that she was his over half. I'm not her, he won't love me" Ying Fa explained painfully blinking back tears. "He won't and I think that I'm going to love him" she whispered softly but Sakura heard her. She was starting to wonder if her daughter was going to have the same problem she had with Xiao Lang.
"Maybe he'll want to leave, but if you give him a reason to stay I bet you he will" Sakura stated confidently making Ying Fa nod.
"Ally said that if he still wants to leave we'll make up our own evil person so he'll have to stay and protect me" Ying Fa spoke making Sakura laugh. "Or we'll kidnap him and only feed him bread and water until he declares his undying love for me"
"Oh Ying Fa, you and Ally are hopeless" Sakura laughed when Ying Fa sat up, she wiped her daughters tears away smiling. "Listen, take your time and see if you really love him. You'll know if it's true, and he'll show you if he loves you"
"How will I know?" Ying Fa asked holding Sakura's hands in her.
"You'll just know when it comes down to it" Sakura replied brushing Ying Fa's hair off her face. "Get some rest ay, and think about what you really want"
"Thank you mother, I love you and tell father that I'm sorry for what I did and that I love him too," Ying Fa said hugging Sakura tightly. She didn't know what she would do without her parents they were the best.
"I will but I think he already knows, now I have to go and talk to him before he does something drastic" Sakura shuddered at that thought getting off Ying Fa's bed. She watched her mother leave wondering if she would ever have what her mother and her father had. They had loved each other from since, well from since forever.
Later.
Ying Fa's eyes opened to the soft sound of a flute, getting up in bed she glanced at her alarm clock to see that it was just after midnight. Groaning she got out of bed pulling down her long white nightgown. The music was coming from outside, she walked out to her balcony trying to find which direction if was coming from. Standing her on her balcony railing she jumped to the other making sure not to make a sound as she followed the sound of the music.
Jamie sat on his bed playing softly since as he couldn't sleep for the life of him and it wasn't that he wasn't tired, cause he was. Playing with the Li children had worn him out yet he couldn't sleep. He was only wearing cotton pajama bottom since, as it was a warm night. He looked to his open balcony door when he thought he heard a sound, his eyes widen and he missed a note totally messing up the song. "Why'd you stop playing?" Ying Fa asked walking in his room, while Jamie continued to stare at her with a lost expression. "Earth to Wolf" she played smiling as she climbed on his bed, still Jamie didn't say anything. "Are you just gonna sit there and stare at me like I'm a ghost?" she asked bewildered.
"What are you doing here?" Jaime finally asked making Ying Fa frown. "That's that the way I meant it"
"Your playing woke me up" Ying Fa spoke making him look at her. How an earth had his playing woken her up when their rooms where so far from each other.
"Are you sure?" Jamie asked skeptically moving his flute from his mouth; Ying Fa nodded innocently making him smile. "I'll have to tune it down so I don't wake up the entire household," he teased making her smack him.
"Why'd you stop playing?" asked Ying Fa again trying determinedly not to stare at him. 'How god, he's shirtless' she mind screamed begging her to just take a quick look, which she did.
"Well I looked to my door and thought I had died" Jamie answered making her laugh blushing slightly.
"Smooth" she commented sitting Indian style. "Please play me a song?" she asked softly wanting to hear him play something, anything.
"First how are you feeling?" Jamie asked losing his teasing eyes momentarily, Ying Fa looked down sighing.
"I'm fine, I had a long talk with mother and it helped. You of course helped earlier when we went on our small road trip," she answered breezily.
"Good, you know that if you are caught inside here I'm dead right?" Jamie teased making her laugh as he put the flute to his mouth thinking of a song to play for her. Ying Fa waited patiently until he finally closed his eyes and started to play a light tune. She listened carefully as he played it beautifully making it seem as if it was the easiest thing ever. Getting lost on his playing Ying Fa closed her eyes smiling, she didn't see when Jamie opened his eyes and gazed at her with an unfamiliar emotion.
'What's the matter with me?' he thought taking in all her beauty. At first he thought he couldn't stand her childish ways but now after spending the day with her he wasn't so sure.
Ying Fa opened her eyes and saw that he was staring at her; a slight blush tinted her cheeks wondering what he was looking at. She got lost in his captivating dark blues eyes not knowing that it was the same for Jamie. Slowly the song to came an end and he moved the flute from his lips breathing softly. "That was amazing," she whispered smiling.
"Thank you," was all he could mutter at the moment. They sat there in complete silence not know what to say to each other.
"Um I guess I should be getting back to bed," Ying Fa mumbled softly. Jamie nodded agreeing as he fingered his flute. "Jamie?"
"Yes?" he looked up at her waiting for her to continue.
"What should I do when I go back to school? I mean with Ken?" she whispered sadly.
"Ignore him until your ready to talk. And don't worry I won't be far away since as I'm your official bodyguard" he answered making her smile nodding as she slid off his bed.
"Oh, Jamie thank you for today" Ying Fa stated hugging him tightly on impulse surprising Jamie. She quickly kissed him on the cheek before running to his balcony door. Jamie watched her go and lightly touched the spot on his cheek where she had kissed him. He couldn't believe that he was starting to get feelings for her; he couldn't get feelings for her. He was supposed to leave when this was all over and he was only supposed to love Blossom.
Zaroff.
He sat in this chair trying to think of a way to get the necklace and the girl's mother. Yes, he wanted her but he knew that he had to take the daughter, as well since as she would be the only passageway that would be able to get him back to his time. He would get the girl and make the mother come for her then he would take both of them back to his time. "Yes, that will work. And I know who will be able to help me get the brother and brat out of the way" he mused waving his hand in front of him making a picture of Ken appear.
Getting up from where he was sitting he touched a long glass container that had a bright white fog substance in it. "Don't worry, I'll have you a body soon I promised you didn't I?" he whispered making it shrink back down. Yes, he would get her a body then takes her and the Lovely Sakura home they would be his wives.
Park.
"Come on we have to catch up," Ying Fa laughed grabbing his hand. Jamie's eyes widen as she pulled him along making him go faster.
"Hahaha you look funny Jamie" Ally laughed skating backwards as she taped them. Jamie gave her a playful glare; he quickly let go of Ying Fa's hand and snatched her camera.
"Syaoran catch" Jamie called tossing the camera, Ally screamed thinking it was going to drop but Syaoran caught it.
"Hey give it back" she called going after Syaoran.
"Yeah right" he replied skating backwards, a smile tugging at his lips. Ally executed a skillful jump but Syaoran tossed it to Jamie who caught it laughing.
"Ying Fa get it" Ally yelled, Ying Fa nodded going after Jamie who sped up. Ying Fa shouted almost catching Jamie when he made a sharp stop laughing at her shocked face.
"That's not fair Jamie" Ying Fa pouted cutely folding her arms. "I hope you know this means war" she declared.
"Then war it is" he smirked looking at Syaoran who nodded. "Let's go," he yelled skating off with Syaoran leaving Ying Fa and Ally following behind. Ying Fa cut after Jamie trying to catch up to him but surprisingly he was fast.
"Argh you guys are so in for it" Ally whined going after Jamie too; her eyes widen seeing him toss it forward. Syaoran sped up caught it when he saw Marcus and the others skating towards them.
"Hey Marcus catch" Syaoran called tossing the camera to his best friend who was ready to catch it but Angel intercepted making Sari and the girls cheer.
"Hey no fair" Marcus laughed playfully going after Angel who was a great skater. She skated towards Jamie taunting him with it before tossing it to Ally who smiled.
"Hah girls rule" she declared racing off with the other girls, Ying Fa laughed at Jamie's face following them as they chanted. The guys sighed sadly following behind them.
"Sorry man she just came out of no where" Marcus sigh they nodded in understanding. "So where are we off to now?"
"Why don't we go and get something to drink, how did you guys know we where here?" Syaoran asked when they caught up to the girls. Ying Fa noticed when Angel skated over to Jamie and took his hand in hers skating close to him.
"Your mom told us, we were all over my house and god bored. Besides Angel wanted to see you Jamie" Marcus answered grinning at Jamie who was looking forward.
"Of course I wanted to see him after he left so suddenly from the beach" Angel laughed playing with his hair. Ying Fa could feel something build in side of her and she held her head down. Too bad she didn't know that Sari was feeling the same way as her.
"Look we're here" Ally called out pointing to the café, she knew that Ying Fa didn't like seeing Angel all on Jamie like that. And she felt bad for her best friend, "It's going be dark soon"
"We'll go home in two hours," Syaoran said taking her hand in his making Ally blush and smile. "What do you want?"
"Strawberry and Vanilla" she beamed making him smile nodding. "Ying Fa what do you want?"
"She wants chocolate double scoop" Jamie answered for her making Ying Fa smiled nodding. "Why don't you try cookies n' cream?"
"Because, well I've never had it"
"Your missing out it's the best there is" Angel declared Jamie nodding in agreement. "I never knew it was that good until Jamie offered me some of his when he was driving me home after the party. I'll have that Jamie"
"You want to try?" Jamie asked looking at Ying Fa's solemn face. He didn't know what was wrong with her mood lately.
"No I don't think I'll like it" Ying Fa sighed making him nod. All the guys went inside the deli while the girls sat outside. She sat on the bench in silence looking up when Sari sat next to her fuming.
"I don't like that Angel girl, can't she see that I like Jamie? At this rate I won't have a shot at him" Sari sighed sadly before looking at Ying Fa. "It's a good thing that you don't like him too, I don't know how I would bare it" Ying Fa swallowed feeling horrible. "But I don't think he's interested in sophomore girls when he can have a junior"
"Yeah" Ying Fa whispered looking down. Ally sat next to her and hugged her tightly knowing what Ying Fa was feeling at the moment.
"Don't worry Ying Fa," she whispered soothingly to her best friend when the guys came back with the ice cream. She was playing with the idea of sending Angel to a parallel world but that wouldn't go well with her parents.
Jamie handed Angel hers as he looked over at Ying Fa, he was still wondering what was wrong with her. He walked over to her when Sari and Ally got up to get their ice cream. "What's the matter brat?" he asked bending down as he handing her, her ice cream.
"Nothing not feeling good" Ying Fa lied softly taking a taste of her ice cream. Jamie took out the spoon he took and scoop some of his ice cream off.
"Open up" he ordered making look at him.
"No"
"Please Ying Fa it won't be that bad, just try it" Jamie ordered smiling at her. Sighing she opened her mouth and let Jamie feed her not knowing that they were the center of attention. "How was it?" Ying Fa liked how it tasted.
"It's good," she answered snatching it cone and handing hers to him.
"Hey" Jamie objected looking at her as she ate his ice cream, sighing he started to eat hers. "Not bad" he commented making her smile. Angel skated over and sat on Jamie's lap winking at him.
"Hey Ying Fa?" Angel smiled at her making Ying Fa raise a brow at her. "You don't mind if I steal Jamie away for tonight right?"
"Why?" Ying Fa asked not knowing why she had just asked in the first place. She didn't want Jamie going anywhere with Angel but what could she say? no you can't because he's mine?
"I want him to come to my house for dinner tonight so he can meet my parents. Besides its only right that they meet him," she answered. Ying Fa's eyes narrowed at her hand playing with Jamie's hair.
"Ying Fa you don't mind right?" Jamie asked surprising her. She didn't think he would have wanted to go but he did and she felt like crying.
"If you want to go then go ahead, I'm not stopping you," she answered softly before getting up. "If you'll excuse me," she added getting up. She threw her ice cream in the trash before going inside.
"What's the matter with Ying Fa?" Syaoran whispered Ally who sighed deeply she moved closer to him.
"She likes Jamie" Ally whispered surprising Syaoran who had no clue. "You guys are hopeless," she sighed finishing up her ice cream. "I'm going to go and check on her"
"All right" Syaoran said letting her go, she looked at Sari's sad face and figured that she probably likes Jamie too. 'Oh boy this is not good' he thought looking at Jamie who was looking inside no doubt for Ying Fa's return.
In the bathroom.
"Ying Fa cheer up" Ally soothed hugging her friend tightly.
"I'm silly, I don't know what's wrong with me. Ken called me and wants to talk tomorrow at school. I think I'll talk to him and make him explain" Ying Fa sighed surprising Ally.
"But I thought---" Ally she stuttered speechless.
"No Ken has always been here, Jamie will leave when this is all over. I might as well try to patch things up with him right?"
"No Ying Fa, that's not right. Jamie is not going to leave if you don't want him to, but if you act like you don't care then he will" Ally stated holding Ying Fa's cheeks in her palm. "Listen cheer up, don't let Angel get to you, okay?"
"Oh all right, but I'm still going to talk with Ken. Come on let's go" Ying Fa sighed, Ally nodded following her out the door. When they skated to the front Jamie and Angel was gone.
"Where's Jamie?" Ally asked taking her camcorder from Syaoran who skated up to them with Sari and Marcus.
"Angel just left with him" Sari answered sadly looking down.
"Are we ready to go home?" Ying Fa asked everyone not feeling in the mood to be out. They all nodded heading out, Syaoran frowned not liking to see his sister in such moods. He could blame it partly on Ken but he knew that Jamie probably didn't know.
"Yeah let's go home" Syaoran said taking Ying Fa's hand in his squeezing it comfortingly. He could like no other feel her emotions too clearly and sometimes if even made his mood drop. He looked at Ally when she took a hold of his hand as well.
Jamie.
When they got to Angel's house he was surprised to see that her parents weren't home like she had originally claimed. "I thought you said your parents would be here?" he said turning to look at her.
"I lied I wanted to spend time with you, come let's go to the pool" Angel said taking his hand pulling him towards the back. "Go on, I'll be right there" she said kissing him on the lips.
Jamie frowned walking to the back, he knew he shouldn't be here when her parents weren't home. He looked back when Angel walked out the door with two bee. "I don't think I should be here" he asked making her lose her smile.
"Don't you like me?" she asked softly walking up to him.
"I do but this isn't right" Jamie replied when she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Don't worry, I won't force yo to do anything" she whispered seductively giving him another kiss 'but getting you drunk then getting you is another option' she thought brilliantly. Jamie smiled deepening the kiss; seeing that she was lost in it he moved his hand to her neck. Angel looked at him with tired eyes before she fell asleep.
"I'm not stupid" he spoke lifting her up in his arms. He glanced at the clock and saw that it was still early. He wouldn't go home yet; he needed some time to think about things.
When they reached home Ying Fa promised her self that she would stay up for Jamie. But sometime after twelve she fell asleep frowning.

"Oh Ying Fa, you and Ally are hopeless" Sakura laughed when Ying Fa sat up, she wiped her daughters tears away smiling. "Listen, take your time and see if you really love him. You'll know if it's true, and he'll show you if he loves you"
"How will I know?" Ying Fa asked holding Sakura's hands in her.
"You'll just know when it comes down to it" Sakura replied brushing Ying Fa's hair off her face. "Get some rest ay, and think about what you really want"
"Thank you mother, I love you and tell father that I'm sorry for what I did and that I love him too," Ying Fa said hugging Sakura tightly. She didn't know what she would do without her parents they were the best.
"I will but I think he already knows, now I have to go and talk to him before he does something drastic" Sakura shuddered at that thought getting off Ying Fa's bed. She watched her mother leave wondering if she would ever have what her mother and her father had. They had loved each other from since, well from since forever.
Later.
Ying Fa's eyes opened to the soft sound of a flute, getting up in bed she glanced at her alarm clock to see that it was just after midnight. Groaning she got out of bed pulling down her long white nightgown. The music was coming from outside, she walked out to her balcony trying to find which direction if was coming from. Standing her on her balcony railing she jumped to the other making sure not to make a sound as she followed the sound of the music.
Jamie sat on his bed playing softly since as he couldn't sleep for the life of him and it wasn't that he wasn't tired, cause he was. Playing with the Li children had worn him out yet he couldn't sleep. He was only wearing cotton pajama bottom since, as it was a warm night. He looked to his open balcony door when he thought he heard a sound, his eyes widen and he missed a note totally messing up the song. "Why'd you stop playing?" Ying Fa asked walking in his room, while Jamie continued to stare at her with a lost expression. "Earth to Wolf" she played smiling as she climbed on his bed, still Jamie didn't say anything. "Are you just gonna sit there and stare at me like I'm a ghost?" she asked bewildered.
"What are you doing here?" Jaime finally asked making Ying Fa frown. "That's that the way I meant it"
"Your playing woke me up" Ying Fa spoke making him look at her. How an earth had his playing woken her up when their rooms where so far from each other.
"Are you sure?" Jamie asked skeptically moving his flute from his mouth; Ying Fa nodded innocently making him smile. "I'll have to tune it down so I don't wake up the entire household," he teased making her smack him.
"Why'd you stop playing?" asked Ying Fa again trying determinedly not to stare at him. 'How god, he's shirtless' she mind screamed begging her to just take a quick look, which she did.
"Well I looked to my door and thought I had died" Jamie answered making her laugh blushing slightly.
"Smooth" she commented sitting Indian style. "Please play me a song?" she asked softly wanting to hear him play something, anything.
"First how are you feeling?" Jamie asked losing his teasing eyes momentarily, Ying Fa looked down sighing.
"I'm fine, I had a long talk with mother and it helped. You of course helped earlier when we went on our small road trip," she answered breezily.
"Good, you know that if you are caught inside here I'm dead right?" Jamie teased making her laugh as he put the flute to his mouth thinking of a song to play for her. Ying Fa waited patiently until he finally closed his eyes and started to play a light tune. She listened carefully as he played it beautifully making it seem as if it was the easiest thing ever. Getting lost on his playing Ying Fa closed her eyes smiling, she didn't see when Jamie opened his eyes and gazed at her with an unfamiliar emotion.
'What's the matter with me?' he thought taking in all her beauty. At first he thought he couldn't stand her childish ways but now after spending the day with her he wasn't so sure.
Ying Fa opened her eyes and saw that he was staring at her; a slight blush tinted her cheeks wondering what he was looking at. She got lost in his captivating dark blues eyes not knowing that it was the same for Jamie. Slowly the song to came an end and he moved the flute from his lips breathing softly. "That was amazing," she whispered smiling.
"Thank you," was all he could mutter at the moment. They sat there in complete silence not know what to say to each other.
"Um I guess I should be getting back to bed," Ying Fa mumbled softly. Jamie nodded agreeing as he fingered his flute. "Jamie?"
"Yes?" he looked up at her waiting for her to continue.
"What should I do when I go back to school? I mean with Ken?" she whispered sadly.
"Ignore him until your ready to talk. And don't worry I won't be far away since as I'm your official bodyguard" he answered making her smile nodding as she slid off his bed.
"Oh, Jamie thank you for today" Ying Fa stated hugging him tightly on impulse surprising Jamie. She quickly kissed him on the cheek before running to his balcony door. Jamie watched her go and lightly touched the spot on his cheek where she had kissed him. He couldn't believe that he was starting to get feelings for her; he couldn't get feelings for her. He was supposed to leave when this was all over and he was only supposed to love Blossom.
Zaroff.
He sat in this chair trying to think of a way to get the necklace and the girl's mother. Yes, he wanted her but he knew that he had to take the daughter, as well since as she would be the only passageway that would be able to get him back to his time. He would get the girl and make the mother come for her then he would take both of them back to his time. "Yes, that will work. And I know who will be able to help me get the brother and brat out of the way" he mused waving his hand in front of him making a picture of Ken appear.
Getting up from where he was sitting he touched a long glass container that had a bright white fog substance in it. "Don't worry, I'll have you a body soon I promised you didn't I?" he whispered making it shrink back down. Yes, he would get her a body then takes her and the Lovely Sakura home they would be his wives.
Park.
"Come on we have to catch up," Ying Fa laughed grabbing his hand. Jamie's eyes widen as she pulled him along making him go faster.
"Hahaha you look funny Jamie" Ally laughed skating backwards as she taped them. Jamie gave her a playful glare; he quickly let go of Ying Fa's hand and snatched her camera.
"Syaoran catch" Jamie called tossing the camera, Ally screamed thinking it was going to drop but Syaoran caught it.
"Hey give it back" she called going after Syaoran.
"Yeah right" he replied skating backwards, a smile tugging at his lips. Ally executed a skillful jump but Syaoran tossed it to Jamie who caught it laughing.
"Ying Fa get it" Ally yelled, Ying Fa nodded going after Jamie who sped up. Ying Fa shouted almost catching Jamie when he made a sharp stop laughing at her shocked face.
"That's not fair Jamie" Ying Fa pouted cutely folding her arms. "I hope you know this means war" she declared.
"Then war it is" he smirked looking at Syaoran who nodded. "Let's go," he yelled skating off with Syaoran leaving Ying Fa and Ally following behind. Ying Fa cut after Jamie trying to catch up to him but surprisingly he was fast.
"Argh you guys are so in for it" Ally whined going after Jamie too; her eyes widen seeing him toss it forward. Syaoran sped up caught it when he saw Marcus and the others skating towards them.
"Hey Marcus catch" Syaoran called tossing the camera to his best friend who was ready to catch it but Angel intercepted making Sari and the girls cheer.
"Hey no fair" Marcus laughed playfully going after Angel who was a great skater. She skated towards Jamie taunting him with it before tossing it to Ally who smiled.
"Hah girls rule" she declared racing off with the other girls, Ying Fa laughed at Jamie's face following them as they chanted. The guys sighed sadly following behind them.
"Sorry man she just came out of no where" Marcus sigh they nodded in understanding. "So where are we off to now?"
"Why don't we go and get something to drink, how did you guys know we where here?" Syaoran asked when they caught up to the girls. Ying Fa noticed when Angel skated over to Jamie and took his hand in hers skating close to him.
"Your mom told us, we were all over my house and god bored. Besides Angel wanted to see you Jamie" Marcus answered grinning at Jamie who was looking forward.
"Of course I wanted to see him after he left so suddenly from the beach" Angel laughed playing with his hair. Ying Fa could feel something build in side of her and she held her head down. Too bad she didn't know that Sari was feeling the same way as her.
"Look we're here" Ally called out pointing to the café, she knew that Ying Fa didn't like seeing Angel all on Jamie like that. And she felt bad for her best friend, "It's going be dark soon"
"We'll go home in two hours," Syaoran said taking her hand in his making Ally blush and smile. "What do you want?"
"Strawberry and Vanilla" she beamed making him smile nodding. "Ying Fa what do you want?"
"She wants chocolate double scoop" Jamie answered for her making Ying Fa smiled nodding. "Why don't you try cookies n' cream?"
"Because, well I've never had it"
"Your missing out it's the best there is" Angel declared Jamie nodding in agreement. "I never knew it was that good until Jamie offered me some of his when he was driving me home after the party. I'll have that Jamie"
"You want to try?" Jamie asked looking at Ying Fa's solemn face. He didn't know what was wrong with her mood lately.
"No I don't think I'll like it" Ying Fa sighed making him nod. All the guys went inside the deli while the girls sat outside. She sat on the bench in silence looking up when Sari sat next to her fuming.
"I don't like that Angel girl, can't she see that I like Jamie? At this rate I won't have a shot at him" Sari sighed sadly before looking at Ying Fa. "It's a good thing that you don't like him too, I don't know how I would bare it" Ying Fa swallowed feeling horrible. "But I don't think he's interested in sophomore girls when he can have a junior"
"Yeah" Ying Fa whispered looking down. Ally sat next to her and hugged her tightly knowing what Ying Fa was feeling at the moment.
"Don't worry Ying Fa," she whispered soothingly to her best friend when the guys came back with the ice cream. She was playing with the idea of sending Angel to a parallel world but that wouldn't go well with her parents.
Jamie handed Angel hers as he looked over at Ying Fa, he was still wondering what was wrong with her. He walked over to her when Sari and Ally got up to get their ice cream. "What's the matter brat?" he asked bending down as he handing her, her ice cream.
"Nothing not feeling good" Ying Fa lied softly taking a taste of her ice cream. Jamie took out the spoon he took and scoop some of his ice cream off.
"Open up" he ordered making look at him.
"No"
"Please Ying Fa it won't be that bad, just try it" Jamie ordered smiling at her. Sighing she opened her mouth and let Jamie feed her not knowing that they were the center of attention. "How was it?" Ying Fa liked how it tasted.
"It's good," she answered snatching it cone and handing hers to him.
"Hey" Jamie objected looking at her as she ate his ice cream, sighing he started to eat hers. "Not bad" he commented making her smile. Angel skated over and sat on Jamie's lap winking at him.
"Hey Ying Fa?" Angel smiled at her making Ying Fa raise a brow at her. "You don't mind if I steal Jamie away for tonight right?"
"Why?" Ying Fa asked not knowing why she had just asked in the first place. She didn't want Jamie going anywhere with Angel but what could she say? no you can't because he's mine?
"I want him to come to my house for dinner tonight so he can meet my parents. Besides its only right that they meet him," she answered. Ying Fa's eyes narrowed at her hand playing with Jamie's hair.
"Ying Fa you don't mind right?" Jamie asked surprising her. She didn't think he would have wanted to go but he did and she felt like crying.
"If you want to go then go ahead, I'm not stopping you," she answered softly before getting up. "If you'll excuse me," she added getting up. She threw her ice cream in the trash before going inside.
"What's the matter with Ying Fa?" Syaoran whispered Ally who sighed deeply she moved closer to him.
"She likes Jamie" Ally whispered surprising Syaoran who had no clue. "You guys are hopeless," she sighed finishing up her ice cream. "I'm going to go and check on her"
"All right" Syaoran said letting her go, she looked at Sari's sad face and figured that she probably likes Jamie too. 'Oh boy this is not good' he thought looking at Jamie who was looking inside no doubt for Ying Fa's return.
In the bathroom.
"Ying Fa cheer up" Ally soothed hugging her friend tightly.
"I'm silly, I don't know what's wrong with me. Ken called me and wants to talk tomorrow at school. I think I'll talk to him and make him explain" Ying Fa sighed surprising Ally.
"But I thought---" Ally she stuttered speechless.
"No Ken has always been here, Jamie will leave when this is all over. I might as well try to patch things up with him right?"
"No Ying Fa, that's not right. Jamie is not going to leave if you don't want him to, but if you act like you don't care then he will" Ally stated holding Ying Fa's cheeks in her palm. "Listen cheer up, don't let Angel get to you, okay?"
"Oh all right, but I'm still going to talk with Ken. Come on let's go" Ying Fa sighed, Ally nodded following her out the door. When they skated to the front Jamie and Angel was gone.
"Where's Jamie?" Ally asked taking her camcorder from Syaoran who skated up to them with Sari and Marcus.
"Angel just left with him" Sari answered sadly looking down.
"Are we ready to go home?" Ying Fa asked everyone not feeling in the mood to be out. They all nodded heading out, Syaoran frowned not liking to see his sister in such moods. He could blame it partly on Ken but he knew that Jamie probably didn't know.
"Yeah let's go home" Syaoran said taking Ying Fa's hand in his squeezing it comfortingly. He could like no other feel her emotions too clearly and sometimes if even made his mood drop. He looked at Ally when she took a hold of his hand as well.
Jamie.
When they got to Angel's house he was surprised to see that her parents weren't home like she had originally claimed. "I thought you said your parents would be here?" he said turning to look at her.
"I lied I wanted to spend time with you, come let's go to the pool" Angel said taking his hand pulling him towards the back. "Go on, I'll be right there" she said kissing him on the lips.
Jamie frowned walking to the back, he knew he shouldn't be here when her parents weren't home. He looked back when Angel walked out the door with two bee. "I don't think I should be here" he asked making her lose her smile.
"Don't you like me?" she asked softly walking up to him.
"I do but this isn't right" Jamie replied when she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Don't worry, I won't force yo to do anything" she whispered seductively giving him another kiss 'but getting you drunk then getting you is another option' she thought brilliantly. Jamie smiled deepening the kiss; seeing that she was lost in it he moved his hand to her neck. Angel looked at him with tired eyes before she fell asleep.
"I'm not stupid" he spoke lifting her up in his arms. He glanced at the clock and saw that it was still early. He wouldn't go home yet; he needed some time to think about things.
When they reached home Ying Fa promised her self that she would stay up for Jamie. But sometime after twelve she fell asleep frowning.
