Chap. 20: "Years."
Author's note: I'm sorry, I'm sorry LOL well I'm kindda sorry hehehe you know I'm not that evil to kill someone who I love so much. I haven't edited this chapter yet I just wrote and post, tomorrow I'll read it over and edit I'm too lazy and I want to post it now.
"But can't you see that she's dying! He needs to go back, please there is no need for him to be here," a woman yelled angrily at the men before her. She couldn't believe they were causing her descendents so much unnecessary pain.
"You don't not tell us what to do, he's here and that is the final," a man roared but she didn't flinch. She was not going to let a man scare her; she had learned her listen long time ago.
"But you know I'm right, it was not his fault he was sent to the future. It was yours, why shouldn't you give him and her the life they both deserve. Look at her for god sake, she's dying slowly; it's wrong and you know it" a man looked at her like the others and sighed knowing she was right about that. It was their fault but what she was asking was never done before, it was actually forbidden.
"We'll think about it, you may go" the woman smiled walking out of the room knowing she would get what she wanted.
Earth.
"Hey Ying Fa, Wat up baby?" a guy asked placing his hand on the locker right beside Ying Fa's. He looked over her beautiful face, every guy in the entire school wanted to get with her but it wasn't because of her money but who she was. He on the other hand wanted to get a hold of her body. Ying Fa's dull emerald eyes glanced at him briefly before she returned to packing her books into her backpack.
"Leave me alone Brad, I don't want to go out with you. How many times do I have to tell you?" she asked tightly slamming her locker shut making people look at her. Many had noticed that a couple of years ago she had changed drastically, something had happened to her.
"Come now I only want to asked you the fall ball? This is our senior year after all and I'm the most popular guy in school" Brad spoke not at all fazed by her crashing set down. Ying Fa growled looking down as she put on her backpack, why did guys have to learn the hard way? Her eyes flashed suddenly showing streaks of silver, anyone who could feel her aura would have felt it soar a brilliant blue and silver.
Slowly she turned to look at Brad with a smile on her face, not at all showing the anger she was feeling on the inside. "Tell me Brad, what does a girl have to do in order to make you understand?" she asked sweetly, her voice dripping with honey.
"Well answer me yes and I'll make you the most happiest girl in our school" he answered idiotically. Everyone gasped when she took him by the collars and pushed him roughly against the lockers with a load thud.
"I'll tell you once only, every other girl in this school might be drooling over a sorry ass like you but I'm not one of them. If I tell you one more time to leave me alone, you are so going to regret ever meeting me" Ying Fa hissed coldly making Sari's mouth drop open coming to a halt. She knew it was a matter of time before she had Brad, just like any other guy who wanted to go out with her, against a locker threatening him. "Understand?"
"Sure, sure" Brad stuttered swallowing hard. He knew that his hardcore reputation would be ruined because of this bitch. Ying Fa smile letting go of him, she turned and looked at Sari who was smirking.
"You ready? The girls are waiting for their captain" Sari said making Ying Fa nod walking up to her. "Hey Brad, I warned ya" she laughed looping arms with Ying Fa. Sari and Ying Fa's other friends knew that from almost three years ago Ying Fa had changed, and it all had to do with Jamie's disappearance. They had all thought she would get over it in a couple of months but they were wrong, it looked like she would never get over him.
"Yeah, it seems just like yesterday we were merely freshman's" Ying Fa muttered absently feeling the necklace around her neck. It was the only thing she had of Jamie, her beloved Jamie. After he left, she had kept her promise and would never fall in love with anyone ever again. She would always be faithful to him no matter what, she knew that in a couple of years or so they would be together again.
After she returned and told everyone what happened, she retired to her room and cried her self to sleep and sometimes she still did the same. She had met briefly with Jamie's grandparents but other than that she hadn't spoken to them since, though they still kept in touch with the Clan leaders. "Hey Ying Fa?" she looked up having sensed her brother and like those rare times, she smiled. He had grown into such a very handsome young man, powerful and loving.
"Hey, where you heading?" she asked when he stopped in front of her. He had also been a great comfort to her since as he could feel her emotions mostly all the time. He and Ally had a wonderful and serious relationship, no doubt they would end up marrying in no time.
"To practice then home, father wants me to train with Rae and Rui" he answered making her nod. He looked her over wondering when her eyes would start to glow like they did so many years ago. "You going after practice or what?"
"No, I'm heading to the mall with Sari. She needs to pick out a gown for Saturday's ball. Then I have to go to a photo shoot with mother" she answered making him nod.
"Tell her that she should come as well" Sari pleaded making Syaoran looked at her sadly.
"You have no idea how long Ally has been trying to get her to go. She's not going to change her mind at all" he replied making her frown and sigh. "Hey I'll see you at home, don't kill the girls okay? It's hot out," he teased making Ying Fa smile.
"I'll try not to" she replied making him smile before running off. She watched him go before, she and Sari continued on their way.
"Tell me what I would have to do in order to get you to go" she sighed looking at her best friend. She knew they all wanted her to go but she didn't want to go with anyone or by her self. It wasn't worth it buying a gown, and dressing up when there was no one there to show off to or to look good for.
Somewhere else.later.
A young man looked up from what he was doing when a beautiful lady walked in, dressed in a glowing white gown. The sound of laughter could be heard outside the place he was studying. He smiled seeing how it was, and got up brushing his long braid over his shoulder. "You haven't come to visit in a long time" he mused her making her smile brighten.
"I'm sorry but I was told that you were busy trying to finish up your studies" she replied, he sighed closing the book he was reading out of.
"One would think that after you are dead there would be no need to study" he commented dryly as she walked up to him. He was suck a handsome man, and so full of knowledge.
"I know, tell me have you stopped feeling her yet, Jamie?" she asked walking over to the table where he was seated. Jamie turned and looked at her, she was a good friend and was the person who had been there for him when he first arrived.
"I do but she can't feel me, every day and night I watch her silently begging her to move on and forget about me" was his answer, though filled pain.
"And what would you if you were allowed to go back to earth and be with her?" At that Jamie stop dead in his tracks and looked at her in disbelief. He couldn't believe he was hearing her right, he knew that there was no way he could return it was simply impossible, wasn't it?
"What are you talking about Celesta?" he inquired raising a brow at one of the Li's relatives. She had told him her story and couldn't believe it, but she also filled in all the loose ends.
"Well we both know that Ying Fa isn't doing so well and it's been almost three years. If this continues she'll probably commit suicide soon, Jamie she cannot go on like this" Celesta stated seriously remembering Ying Fa vividly.
"I know that, but there's nothing I can do about it" Jamie replied making her smile shaking her head at him. "What?"
"You underestimate me Jaime, when I want something I get it. Come with me, there's much that needs to explained" with that said she headed for the door. Jamie looked at her retreating back as he tried to push down all the excited emotions. Sensing that he hadn't moved she slowly turned towards him, "Are you just going to stand there? Come now boy," she ordered making him scramble catching up to her.
Night earth.Thursday night.
A bright light flashed across the dark night sky like a shooting star, but it was far from that as it collided with the earth. He necklace around Ying Fa's neck glowed brightly but only for a mere second so no ne sensed it. Ying Fa sighed with a smile on her face and turned unto her side.
Next morning.
Ying Fa hurried down the hall joggling her back at the same time. She knew that Syaoran must be gone because she was as always late. When she reached the last step she jumped over it landing on the floor when her father and Jamie's grandfather walked out of office. She was shocked to see him, and her father actually smiled. "Chan-san, hello" she said bowing respectively making the old man nod. She was as surprised as her family to know that they were living in Hong Kong with them all that time and wasn't sensed when they were so powerful.
"Well hello there Ying Fa, how are you doing?" he asked looking her over very carefully. He could see that she wasn't doing so well, he eyes had lost their luster since his grandson disappeared.
"Fine thank you, I'm sorry I must be going before I'm late for school. It was nice seeing you again" Ying Fa said softly walking over to her father, "Bye dad" she said giving him a kiss on the cheek before disappearing out the door. Xiao Lang and Chan looked at the door when it closed and sighed.
"I think we should continue to the elders now, Sakura and my mother should have them together" Xiao Lang said making him smile nodded. "This will be good for her, and it'll be even better for all of us if we had our Ying Fa back" he continued.
"So tru, we were shocked when he appeared last night but we're overjoyed. My wife was so shocked that she couldn't pry her self off him even though he doesn't know us. This will also be a great alliance between us"
"It will, but I do not care about that all that matters is my daughter"
Later.
Ying Fa walked up the stairs very slowly heading to her mother's studio. She smiled slightly at those who she passed. She didn't know why her mother wanted to work so much when there was absolutely no need at her for her to. And now she was getting her and Lin into modeling along with three- year-old Mei Hua. "Hey Miss Ying Fa, how are you doing?" a man asked when she walked into the shoot.
"I'm cool Jorge, where's mother?" she replied making him point at Sakura who was working with Mei Hua, she was surprised to see Tomoyo with her. She didn't think that Tomoyo would be showing up until later today or tomorrow for the fashion show that was going to take place on Monday.
"Well it's about time you got here," Sakura smiled not turning around. People who she worked with always wondered how she knew when her children were close without even looking back but figured it was their connection.
"Sorry, traffic. You wanted me?" Ying Fa replied making Sakura turn around. She looked at her mother then Tomoyo and knew that something was up. She didn't know what but she had a feeling she wasn't going to like it. "Tomoyo, I didn't know you were coming today, is Ally here too?" she couldn't feel her friend.
"Change of plans, no she's coming later today. She had a meeting at school since as she's on the committee for prom" Tomoyo answered making Ying Fa nod, she missed when Tomoyo looked her over with her fashion designer eyes taking measurements.
"Oh, um are you almost finished?" she asked her mother when Mei Hua got up and ran over to them.
"Fa, Fa," she exclaimed running towards Ying Fa who laughed picking her up.
"No, I'm going to need you and Lin for a shoot it won't take that long. She's on her way here right now from ballet" Sakura answered making Ying Fa nod as she poked Mei Hua on her nose cutely making her giggle.
"Okay, do you have what I'm supposed to wear so I can get ready now?" Tomoyo beamed a smile at her before running off, Ying Fa was very afraid.
"Ying Fa, can I ask you a great favor?" Sakura asked signing for something. She and Tomoyo had started their very own modeling and designing agency. Sakura ran the modeling and fashion shows, while Tomoyo dealt with the designs.
"Um okay, what?" Ying Fa asked uneasily making Sakura beam a smile at her. She looked at her daughter knowing that after today all she would be the same again.
"Well, one of Xiao Lang's partner's son has just moved here and he doesn't really know anyone. We were thinking that maybe you could take him to your Senior Ball since as he's going to do to Hong Kong University like most of you" Sakura explained looking out the window at the busy Hong Kong streets below. "I know we're asking a lot but it's not like we can ask Lin to do it"
"But mother you know I'm not going to the Ball" Ying Fa whined. She really didn't want to go to a Ball with anyone, especially some stranger. Sakura turned around and Ying Fa groaned loudly looking at her mother's sad eyes. "Mother no, mother" she repeated over and over making Sakura's eyes get pleading. They might have the same eyes but Sakura knew how to make someone do what she wanted.
"Please sweetie" Sakura begged working her daughter.
"Mother please you can find someone else" Ying Fa continued, she wasn't going to give in. 'I'm not going to give in, I'm not going to give in" she chanted over and over.
Later.
"I can't believe I gave him," Ying Fa cried as she got a gorgeous sparkling white dress fitted to her.
"You look beautiful Ying Fa" Lin exclaimed taking in the dress and her sister. She had changed out of the battle suit Tomoyo had her model along side Ying Fa and Mei Hua.
"Pretty" Mei Hua giggled making Ying Fa relax a little.
"Tell me who is this guy?" she asked softly making sure to keep still so Tomoyo did prick her with a needle. She had learned her lesion long time ago, and she wasn't going to make those mistakes again.
"Well he's starting college at Hong Kong University, and since as you guys are going to be going there this year I thought it would be good if you met him and introduced him to your friends or something. He's a really nice young man if you ask me, and he's nineteen" Sakura explained making Ying Fa frown.
"If he's nineteen shouldn't he be at least in his second or first year already?" she inquired softly making Tomoyo look at Sakura briefly.
"Well there was some kind of problem and he wasn't able to start" Tomoyo answered for Sakura since as she didn't. "Trust me, Eriol has met this young man and he's approved too so there's no worries"
"I hope you're right, I'm not into going to a dance with someone I don't even know" Ying Fa sighed making Sakura and Tomoyo smile secretively.
"We're right" Sakura whispered smiling brightly, she turned to the window and looked outside thanking the heavens.
Next day.
Jamie.
He walked out unto the large porch of his grandparent's incredibly large estate. He saw people moving around the yard doing daily chores and some stopped and looked at him. Closing his eyes momentarily he thanked Celesta again, and tried his best to hide his presence from Ying Fa. He hoped that she would be glad to see him tonight. "Please make things go right," he whispered turning when his grandmother and grandfather walked outside smiling.
"What's on your mind my boy?" Seung asked making him look her over; she had to admit that she did resemble his mother.
"Ying Fa" he answered simply making her nod smiling. "Tell me, why is it that you never came to look for me before all this happened?"
"You aren't the easiest person to find, just like the Li's we couldn't feel your aura cause you always hid it" Lian answered sitting down making Jamie sit in front of them. "But after you moved in with the Li's you never hid it"
"I see, why did my mother run away from you?" he asked making Seung frown thinking about her beloved only child.
"She didn't want to accept what fate had in store for her, so she ran away thinking she could escape it. The aunt you were living with was from your father's side, a mere human," Seung answered regrettably. "Our clan is dying, there is but few of us left, and we needed her to marry one of us but she refused and married your father. We had not known it would have brought you into the world"
"I see, you want this marriage because it'll also bring an alliance with the Li family don't you?" Jamie asked making them look at him and nod slowly. He got up and turned back to the yard seeing that more of his kind was showing up. They were right, there was so few of them so very few but they were strong he could feel them they were his people. "So strong"
"Yes we are as old as the Li family, yet they and we are in the same problem. The world lacks in magic and we're becoming few, us joining with them will make us bountiful" Lian stated standing beside Jaime who turned to look at him with smiling eyes.
"Then I guess you want this joining even more now that you've seen what a Li and Chan joined can do" he mused making them laugh nodding in total agreement with him. A Chan and Li were so very powerful when they became one, and if they were to have some marry into the family then it wouldn't matter if they married humans because the magic linage wouldn't die out.
"So right my boy, they are going to look upon you and Ying Fa" Lian exclaimed placing his hand on Jamie's shoulder.
Ying Fa.
She, Ally and San came to a stop looking at the person before them with a smile on their face. "Well long time you see, tell me how are you doing girls?" Angel laughed making them smile.
"We're great, how's college?" Ally asked making her flush, they got why she did when a guy walked up and took her hand.
"Wonderful, I want you to meet Chris. Chris this is Ying Fa, Ally and San old time friends" Angel introduced making him smile.
"Hey" they all said, the girls looked Chris over and thought he was a babe.
"Ya'll getting ready to leave school?" Angel teased making them laugh. Since that encounter with Zaroff and having her body stolen Angel had become a nice person even though she couldn't remember what had happened.
"Yep, only a few months left and I can't wait" Sari sighed brightly thinking about her boyfriend David, they were still together after so long. She couldn't wait to start college so that they could be together all the time.
"Just wait, when you're out you'll want to go back," Angel pointed out making them nod. "So I guess I'll be seeing ya'll at the Uni soon"
"Yeah you bet your ass on that, and we'll be taking over the cheerleading team too" Ying Fa spoke making her laugh nodding.
"Yeah I'll have to watch out for you, bye," Angel laughed walking off with Chris. Ying Fa looked at them and sighed seeing her self and Jamie. Shaking her head she and her friends continued.
"So did your parents tell you who this guy was or how he looked?" Sari asked when they came to Victoria's Secret.
"Naw, hey I don't see why you have to buy new lingerie he'll be taking you out of it anyways" Ying Fa stated making Ally laugh and Sari blush.
"Your point? Hey Ally why don't you buy something too?" Sari said making Ally flush crimson looking down.
"You know you want to, it's not like we can't feel the change between you two" Ying Fa whispered to Ally who turned beet red and hurried off making her laugh following them. It was weird but from since yesterday she had been feeling a lot better and happier. She hadn't laughed this much in so long that it felt foreign to her.
"Hey Ying Fa, why don't you buy this?" Ally asked holding up a black bra and underwear set. Sighing she walked over to them, she didn't want to go to the Winter Ball with this guy who she didn't know. Hopefully she would recognize him like her parents said she would.
Later.
"I don't see why my mother is making such a big deal of this" Eli groaned making Rui and Rae nod in agreement. "She'll be going to prom again next year in England"
"I know, this is just a stupid dance, but I think my mother is happy because they have actually gotten Ying Fa to go out. We all miss Jamie a lot" Rui sighed making them look down sadly nodding in agreement.
"Hey they are coming now, come and look," Lin said excitedly at the door making them groan and get up. Eli picked up his baby brother who was one making him giggle.
"Come on Tomo, this should be over with in no time" he said to his brother making him look at him cutely. They walked to the door and looked up when Ying Fa and Ally arrived at the stairs.
Syaoran looked at Ally and felt his face heat up, and a smile adorn his lips. She was dressed in a lavender ice dress, which clung to her every curve outlining her body perfectly. Her hair was up in a bun and the diamond necklace he had gotten her adorned her neck. She looked at him and smile brightly feeling what he was feeling; thankfully their parents hadn't freaked out knowing what they had done.
Syaoran looked at his sister was also gorgeous in her strapless white ice dress; her hair was down and curled. He sighed looking at the necklace Jamie had given her, but tonight it seemed to shine brightly. "You both look beautiful" he said when they reached him making them smile.
"Thank you" both answered before Ying Fa walked over to her parents. Syaoran took Ally's hand and kissed it lightly making her flush and Tomoyo zoom in.
"So beautiful" Xiao Lang whispered looking his daughter over with pride, Ying Fa looked at her father and smile hugging him. "And so grown" he couldn't believe that his baby had grown up so quickly.
"I love you father," she whispered giving him a kiss on the cheek. Xiao Lang winked at her before Ying Fa moved over to her mother who had her cape.
"He'll be there waiting for you, don't worry you'll know it's him" Sakura stated making Ying Fa nod reluctantly. "I have a feeling you'll be smiling before this night is out, don't frown" she spoke smiling.
"I'll try not to" Ying Fa sighed making Sakura smile brightly. She and Ying Fa winced when Tomoyo attacked them with her camera flashed. "I can't see anything but stars" she whined making Sakura laugh.
"Me too, come on guys it's time to go," she said making them nod. They stood at the door and watch them get in the limo and pull off. Sighing she rested against Xiao Lang, smiling.
"So when are we going to spy on them?" Tomoyo asked giddily making them smirk closing the living room door.
"Well we can get ready now" Eriol smiled when as they got in a circle. The kids stood on the side with Yelen and watched as they were engulfed in a bright light. Tomoyo and Sakura giggled when it died down, they looked at their teenage selves and squealed making the guys wince.
The kids looked at their parents' younger selves in disbelief, "I don't believe other kids have to deal with his kind of trauma," Lin whispered making the boys nod sighing.
Later.
Ying Fa sighed standing a refreshment table; she looked at Syaoran and Ally who were dancing with David and Sari. She looked away from them and towards the ground feeling incredibly lonely. She was waiting for the date that had yet to show up, "I should have said no" she hissed wondering why she had even bothered to dress up. Placing her cup of punch down she started for the exit when the song ended, and a slow song came on.
She looked up feeling her body overwhelmed with an amazing sensation not seeing that her brother and Ally had stopped as well having felt it. Ying Fa's breath caught in her through seeing the figure standing at the end of the crowd dressed in black, she could make out that he had black hair but what got her was the aura emitting from him. "No, Jamie.

"But can't you see that she's dying! He needs to go back, please there is no need for him to be here," a woman yelled angrily at the men before her. She couldn't believe they were causing her descendents so much unnecessary pain.
"You don't not tell us what to do, he's here and that is the final," a man roared but she didn't flinch. She was not going to let a man scare her; she had learned her listen long time ago.

"I do but she can't feel me, every day and night I watch her silently begging her to move on and forget about me" was his answer, though filled pain.
"And what would you if you were allowed to go back to earth and be with her?" At that Jamie stop dead in his tracks and looked at her in disbelief. He couldn't believe he was hearing her right, he knew that there was no way he could return it was simply impossible, wasn't it?
"What are you talking about Celesta?" he inquired raising a brow at one of the Li's relatives. She had told him her story and couldn't believe it, but she also filled in all the loose ends.
"Well we both know that Ying Fa isn't doing so well and it's been almost three years. If this continues she'll probably commit suicide soon, Jamie she cannot go on like this" Celesta stated seriously remembering Ying Fa vividly.
"I know that, but there's nothing I can do about it" Jamie replied making her smile shaking her head at him. "What?"

Jamie looked at her retreating back as he tried to push down all the excited emotions. Sensing that he hadn't moved she slowly turned towards him, "Are you just going to stand there? Come now boy," she ordered making him scramble catching up to her.

A bright light flashed across the dark night sky like a shooting star, but it was far from that as it collided with the earth. He necklace around Ying Fa's neck glowed brightly but only for a mere second so no ne sensed it. Ying Fa sighed with a smile on her face and turned unto her side.

"Chan-san, hello" she said bowing respectively making the old man nod. She was as surprised as her family to know that they were living in Hong Kong with them all that time and wasn't sensed when they were so powerful.
"Well hello there Ying Fa, how are you doing?" he asked looking her over very carefully. He could see that she wasn't doing so well, he eyes had lost their luster since his grandson disappeared.
"Fine thank you, I'm sorry I must be going before I'm late for school. It was nice seeing you again" Ying Fa said softly walking over to her father, "Bye dad" she said giving him a kiss on the cheek before disappearing out the door. Xiao Lang and Chan looked at the door when it closed and sighed.
"I think we should continue to the elders now, Sakura and my mother should have them together" Xiao Lang said making him smile nodded. "This will be good for her, and it'll be even better for all of us if we had our Ying Fa back" he continued.
"So tru, we were shocked when he appeared last night but we're overjoyed. My wife was so shocked that she couldn't pry her self off him even though he doesn't know us. This will also be a great alliance between us"
"It will, but I do not care about that all that matters is my daughter"
Later.
Ying Fa walked up the stairs very slowly heading to her mother's studio. She smiled slightly at those who she passed. She didn't know why her mother wanted to work so much when there was absolutely no need at her for her to. And now she was getting her and Lin into modeling along with three- year-old Mei Hua. "Hey Miss Ying Fa, how are you doing?" a man asked when she walked into the shoot.
"I'm cool Jorge, where's mother?" she replied making him point at Sakura who was working with Mei Hua, she was surprised to see Tomoyo with her. She didn't think that Tomoyo would be showing up until later today or tomorrow for the fashion show that was going to take place on Monday.
"Well it's about time you got here," Sakura smiled not turning around. People who she worked with always wondered how she knew when her children were close without even looking back but figured it was their connection.
"Sorry, traffic. You wanted me?" Ying Fa replied making Sakura turn around. She looked at her mother then Tomoyo and knew that something was up. She didn't know what but she had a feeling she wasn't going to like it. "Tomoyo, I didn't know you were coming today, is Ally here too?" she couldn't feel her friend.
"Change of plans, no she's coming later today. She had a meeting at school since as she's on the committee for prom" Tomoyo answered making Ying Fa nod, she missed when Tomoyo looked her over with her fashion designer eyes taking measurements.
"Oh, um are you almost finished?" she asked her mother when Mei Hua got up and ran over to them.
"Fa, Fa," she exclaimed running towards Ying Fa who laughed picking her up.
"No, I'm going to need you and Lin for a shoot it won't take that long. She's on her way here right now from ballet" Sakura answered making Ying Fa nod as she poked Mei Hua on her nose cutely making her giggle.
"Okay, do you have what I'm supposed to wear so I can get ready now?" Tomoyo beamed a smile at her before running off, Ying Fa was very afraid.
"Ying Fa, can I ask you a great favor?" Sakura asked signing for something. She and Tomoyo had started their very own modeling and designing agency. Sakura ran the modeling and fashion shows, while Tomoyo dealt with the designs.
"Um okay, what?" Ying Fa asked uneasily making Sakura beam a smile at her. She looked at her daughter knowing that after today all she would be the same again.
"Well, one of Xiao Lang's partner's son has just moved here and he doesn't really know anyone. We were thinking that maybe you could take him to your Senior Ball since as he's going to do to Hong Kong University like most of you" Sakura explained looking out the window at the busy Hong Kong streets below. "I know we're asking a lot but it's not like we can ask Lin to do it"
"But mother you know I'm not going to the Ball" Ying Fa whined. She really didn't want to go to a Ball with anyone, especially some stranger. Sakura turned around and Ying Fa groaned loudly looking at her mother's sad eyes. "Mother no, mother" she repeated over and over making Sakura's eyes get pleading. They might have the same eyes but Sakura knew how to make someone do what she wanted.
"Please sweetie" Sakura begged working her daughter.
"Mother please you can find someone else" Ying Fa continued, she wasn't going to give in. 'I'm not going to give in, I'm not going to give in" she chanted over and over.
Later.
"I can't believe I gave him," Ying Fa cried as she got a gorgeous sparkling white dress fitted to her.
"You look beautiful Ying Fa" Lin exclaimed taking in the dress and her sister. She had changed out of the battle suit Tomoyo had her model along side Ying Fa and Mei Hua.
"Pretty" Mei Hua giggled making Ying Fa relax a little.
"Tell me who is this guy?" she asked softly making sure to keep still so Tomoyo did prick her with a needle. She had learned her lesion long time ago, and she wasn't going to make those mistakes again.
"Well he's starting college at Hong Kong University, and since as you guys are going to be going there this year I thought it would be good if you met him and introduced him to your friends or something. He's a really nice young man if you ask me, and he's nineteen" Sakura explained making Ying Fa frown.
"If he's nineteen shouldn't he be at least in his second or first year already?" she inquired softly making Tomoyo look at Sakura briefly.
"Well there was some kind of problem and he wasn't able to start" Tomoyo answered for Sakura since as she didn't. "Trust me, Eriol has met this young man and he's approved too so there's no worries"
"I hope you're right, I'm not into going to a dance with someone I don't even know" Ying Fa sighed making Sakura and Tomoyo smile secretively.
"We're right" Sakura whispered smiling brightly, she turned to the window and looked outside thanking the heavens.
Next day.
Jamie.
He walked out unto the large porch of his grandparent's incredibly large estate. He saw people moving around the yard doing daily chores and some stopped and looked at him. Closing his eyes momentarily he thanked Celesta again, and tried his best to hide his presence from Ying Fa. He hoped that she would be glad to see him tonight. "Please make things go right," he whispered turning when his grandmother and grandfather walked outside smiling.
"What's on your mind my boy?" Seung asked making him look her over; she had to admit that she did resemble his mother.
"Ying Fa" he answered simply making her nod smiling. "Tell me, why is it that you never came to look for me before all this happened?"
"You aren't the easiest person to find, just like the Li's we couldn't feel your aura cause you always hid it" Lian answered sitting down making Jamie sit in front of them. "But after you moved in with the Li's you never hid it"
"I see, why did my mother run away from you?" he asked making Seung frown thinking about her beloved only child.
"She didn't want to accept what fate had in store for her, so she ran away thinking she could escape it. The aunt you were living with was from your father's side, a mere human," Seung answered regrettably. "Our clan is dying, there is but few of us left, and we needed her to marry one of us but she refused and married your father. We had not known it would have brought you into the world"
"I see, you want this marriage because it'll also bring an alliance with the Li family don't you?" Jamie asked making them look at him and nod slowly. He got up and turned back to the yard seeing that more of his kind was showing up. They were right, there was so few of them so very few but they were strong he could feel them they were his people. "So strong"
"Yes we are as old as the Li family, yet they and we are in the same problem. The world lacks in magic and we're becoming few, us joining with them will make us bountiful" Lian stated standing beside Jaime who turned to look at him with smiling eyes.
"Then I guess you want this joining even more now that you've seen what a Li and Chan joined can do" he mused making them laugh nodding in total agreement with him. A Chan and Li were so very powerful when they became one, and if they were to have some marry into the family then it wouldn't matter if they married humans because the magic linage wouldn't die out.
"So right my boy, they are going to look upon you and Ying Fa" Lian exclaimed placing his hand on Jamie's shoulder.
Ying Fa.
She, Ally and San came to a stop looking at the person before them with a smile on their face. "Well long time you see, tell me how are you doing girls?" Angel laughed making them smile.
"We're great, how's college?" Ally asked making her flush, they got why she did when a guy walked up and took her hand.
"Wonderful, I want you to meet Chris. Chris this is Ying Fa, Ally and San old time friends" Angel introduced making him smile.
"Hey" they all said, the girls looked Chris over and thought he was a babe.
"Ya'll getting ready to leave school?" Angel teased making them laugh. Since that encounter with Zaroff and having her body stolen Angel had become a nice person even though she couldn't remember what had happened.
"Yep, only a few months left and I can't wait" Sari sighed brightly thinking about her boyfriend David, they were still together after so long. She couldn't wait to start college so that they could be together all the time.
"Just wait, when you're out you'll want to go back," Angel pointed out making them nod. "So I guess I'll be seeing ya'll at the Uni soon"
"Yeah you bet your ass on that, and we'll be taking over the cheerleading team too" Ying Fa spoke making her laugh nodding.
"Yeah I'll have to watch out for you, bye," Angel laughed walking off with Chris. Ying Fa looked at them and sighed seeing her self and Jamie. Shaking her head she and her friends continued.
"So did your parents tell you who this guy was or how he looked?" Sari asked when they came to Victoria's Secret.
"Naw, hey I don't see why you have to buy new lingerie he'll be taking you out of it anyways" Ying Fa stated making Ally laugh and Sari blush.
"Your point? Hey Ally why don't you buy something too?" Sari said making Ally flush crimson looking down.
"You know you want to, it's not like we can't feel the change between you two" Ying Fa whispered to Ally who turned beet red and hurried off making her laugh following them. It was weird but from since yesterday she had been feeling a lot better and happier. She hadn't laughed this much in so long that it felt foreign to her.
"Hey Ying Fa, why don't you buy this?" Ally asked holding up a black bra and underwear set. Sighing she walked over to them, she didn't want to go to the Winter Ball with this guy who she didn't know. Hopefully she would recognize him like her parents said she would.
Later.
"I don't see why my mother is making such a big deal of this" Eli groaned making Rui and Rae nod in agreement. "She'll be going to prom again next year in England"
"I know, this is just a stupid dance, but I think my mother is happy because they have actually gotten Ying Fa to go out. We all miss Jamie a lot" Rui sighed making them look down sadly nodding in agreement.
"Hey they are coming now, come and look," Lin said excitedly at the door making them groan and get up. Eli picked up his baby brother who was one making him giggle.
"Come on Tomo, this should be over with in no time" he said to his brother making him look at him cutely. They walked to the door and looked up when Ying Fa and Ally arrived at the stairs.
Syaoran looked at Ally and felt his face heat up, and a smile adorn his lips. She was dressed in a lavender ice dress, which clung to her every curve outlining her body perfectly. Her hair was up in a bun and the diamond necklace he had gotten her adorned her neck. She looked at him and smile brightly feeling what he was feeling; thankfully their parents hadn't freaked out knowing what they had done.
Syaoran looked at his sister was also gorgeous in her strapless white ice dress; her hair was down and curled. He sighed looking at the necklace Jamie had given her, but tonight it seemed to shine brightly. "You both look beautiful" he said when they reached him making them smile.
"Thank you" both answered before Ying Fa walked over to her parents. Syaoran took Ally's hand and kissed it lightly making her flush and Tomoyo zoom in.
"So beautiful" Xiao Lang whispered looking his daughter over with pride, Ying Fa looked at her father and smile hugging him. "And so grown" he couldn't believe that his baby had grown up so quickly.
"I love you father," she whispered giving him a kiss on the cheek. Xiao Lang winked at her before Ying Fa moved over to her mother who had her cape.
"He'll be there waiting for you, don't worry you'll know it's him" Sakura stated making Ying Fa nod reluctantly. "I have a feeling you'll be smiling before this night is out, don't frown" she spoke smiling.
"I'll try not to" Ying Fa sighed making Sakura smile brightly. She and Ying Fa winced when Tomoyo attacked them with her camera flashed. "I can't see anything but stars" she whined making Sakura laugh.
"Me too, come on guys it's time to go," she said making them nod. They stood at the door and watch them get in the limo and pull off. Sighing she rested against Xiao Lang, smiling.
"So when are we going to spy on them?" Tomoyo asked giddily making them smirk closing the living room door.
"Well we can get ready now" Eriol smiled when as they got in a circle. The kids stood on the side with Yelen and watched as they were engulfed in a bright light. Tomoyo and Sakura giggled when it died down, they looked at their teenage selves and squealed making the guys wince.
The kids looked at their parents' younger selves in disbelief, "I don't believe other kids have to deal with his kind of trauma," Lin whispered making the boys nod sighing.
Later.
Ying Fa sighed standing a refreshment table; she looked at Syaoran and Ally who were dancing with David and Sari. She looked away from them and towards the ground feeling incredibly lonely. She was waiting for the date that had yet to show up, "I should have said no" she hissed wondering why she had even bothered to dress up. Placing her cup of punch down she started for the exit when the song ended, and a slow song came on.
She looked up feeling her body overwhelmed with an amazing sensation not seeing that her brother and Ally had stopped as well having felt it. Ying Fa's breath caught in her through seeing the figure standing at the end of the crowd dressed in black, she could make out that he had black hair but what got her was the aura emitting from him. "No, Jamie.
