Chapter Eight: Eriol's Blast to the Past
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"If you don't mind, Meiling-san, the guardians and I have discussed the past incidents and came up with a conclusion. If you want, though, we can tell everyone and yourself when you're better. Which would you like?" asked Eriol.
"Oh no, Eriol-san! I wanna here this now! Go Go!" exclaimed the eager injured girl.
"As you wish," Eriol started his trip to the past, "In Clow Reed's time, the Clow Cards were made..."
"No shit, Sherlock," Syaoran mocked form leaning on the bed post, with a smirk on his face.
Eriol shot his 'dear descendant' a glare for interrupting him. "Ahem... As I was saying. Nobody really new this but Clow Reed was married. He..."
Everyone gasped, except the guardians and Eriol. "Will you guys stop interrupting me?!" he fumed, obviously very annoyed. Tomoyo giggled and gave him a kiss. "Umm... Anyway, Clow was married to..."
"Who was he married to?" asked an over-eager Meiling.
=Calm down, Eriol. Calm down.= He told himself. He breathed in and answered, "I was getting there... He married Madoushi, his first lo..."
Sakura gasped. "Madoushi? The sorceress woman who tried to kill me? She..."
"WILL EVERYONE SHUT UP FOR A SECOND???!!!!" Everyone blinked with shocked faces. Even Eriol was stunned that he did that himself. "Please?" All sweatdropped and nodded.
"Thank you. And yes, Sakura-chan, Madoushi. The one who tried to take all of you. Which I'm very surprised at. So, Clow and Madoushi had a child. A baby girl...named..." Eriol looked at Sakura. "... Ying Fa."
Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, and Meiling gasped at this piece of information but kept quiet after that.
"Yup, Ying Fa. Sakura-san's Chinese name. And to tell all of you again, The guardians and I discussed this. I myself had no idea about Madoushi and Ying Fa. Kero-chan and Yue told me this because it seems that my other half, Fujitaka, has this piece of information with him. Nadeshiko, Sakura your mother, was Madoushi's reincarnation. And since you're Madoushi's child's reincarnation, Sakura-san, it surprised me that she attacked you in Hong Kong," Eriol explained.
Sakura stood there paralyzed. She had no idea that she was reincarnated from someone. Syaoran looked at Sakura's stricken face. He walked over to comfort her. (A/n: Doesn't really follow the plot to the first movie... but this is a fanfic. Confused? Madoushi=Nadeshiko; Ying Fa=Sakura)
"I know it shocks everyone.. It shocked me too," Eriol stated. "But there is another thing I did remember from Clow's past... Clow had a younger brother... Shen... Shen Reed."
~*~Flashback~*~
It was when Clow had finished making all the Clow Cards. He was known very well for that.. His brother, Shen was obviously very jealous of his big brother, the all-star magician who was top in everything. But Shen... He was the underdog.
"Stupid Clow, always gotta be number one in everything!" Shen mumbled as he carried water from a nearby pump. Why didn't he just use magic? Well... He was too a dumbass! (A/n: Lol!) "He takes all the glory away from me when I have it!"
Clow was walking by with Madoushi, they were hand in hand... But not yet married. "Need help, little brother?" he asked kindly.
"You don't need to show off in front of her, Clow. I'll get one of my guardians to get it for me." Shen stared disgustingly at the two linked hands. He was in love with Madoushi first.. or so he thought. But no, Clow took her away too. Shen whistled loudly. "Gumbonean! Come here at once!"
Immediately, a red-looking lion with triangle blood-red eyes, long pointed ears, a tiny brown nose, and a stubby red tail appeared next to his master. He bowed then asked, "What can I get for you, master?"
Harshly, he replied, "Bring those buckets of water to the house at once!" He smirked as Gumbonean bowed again to him and run off with the buckets in his mouth, the contents spilling about. He flashed a smile at 30-year-old Madoushi. (A/n: No clue when Clow Reed made the cards... Let's just say around 30!)
Madoushi giggled as she and Clow strode off.
After the two was out of sight, 28- year-old Shen started cursing. "Damn my brother! He even took away my Madoushi! Errrr!!" Shen went crazy as he planned something...
~*~Flashback Ends~*~
"Damn, he's evil..." Syaoran replied. Sakura slapped his arm lightly.
"No cursing, Syaoran-kun. It's not polite," she said sternly but not too much.
"Okay, Sakura. Sorry..." Syaoran smirked, while blushing because Sakura hand was still on his arm. She realized what he was staring at and pulled it back, also very crimson.
Tomoyo giggled at the kawaii couple, of course with the camcorder. She didn't want to miss such an important history lesson. This wasn't the same unimportant crap the baka teachers tell you about in school, this was Clow's past! (A/n: Ahhhhhh!!!! Nooo!!!!) "Anyway, Eriol-kun, ano, how old was Clow when he finished making the Clow Cards?" [Ano: Umm]
"He was about 31. Madoushi was 30 and Shen was 28.... So Shen and Clow were three years apart. But anyway, Clow and Madoushi were very in love. The next year they were wed." He took a glance at Tomoyo, who blushed furiously. "A year after that, they had a child. A baby girl named Ying Fa Reed..."
~*~Flashback~*~
Madoushi was cradling her new-born daughter to sleep on night. "You are always gonna be my love. Itsuka-" Her singing was cut off by a knock on the door. Ying Fa started to whimper. "Shhh..." Madoushi cooed. The baby sniffed and looked lovingly at her mother. (A/n: Hikaru Utada! She my favorite J-pop singer!)
"Come in!" she called, puting little Ying Fa back into her cradle. The door opened revealing Shen.
"Lovely singing, Madoushi," he complimented.
"Oh! Hello, Shen. I wasn't expecting you here!" she said nervously. Clow told her to be careful of his younger brother... He knew that he also loved her.
"What? Are you not happy to see me?" he whispered, coming forward making Madoushi walk backward. It was true she was scared of him... Even if he was two years younger than her.
"Umm... It's just I was trying to put little Ying Fa here to sleep.. Hehe.." Still retracting, she tripped over the baby's cradle. "Oww..." Ying Fa started to cry for her mother got hurt.
Meanwhile, Clow was in his study with Keroberos. The two were studying the Flower Card. All of a sudden, Clow's mind reverted to his wife and child. He heard his little daughter wailing for him. "Yue!" he called.
Yue came flying into the room and took his spot next to Keroberos. "Yes, master?"
"Look after the Flower with Keroberos!" And with that, he sprinted towards the baby room.
When he arrived there, he found his wife on the floor crawling backward, his younger brother walking toward her, and his daughter wailing ever-so loudly. "Shen! What is the meaning to this!!" he raged as he helped Madoushi back to her feet. She had the look that meant she was almost going to cry.
"I was.. Umm.. I... Madoushi and Ying Fa... Uhh..." Shen was tongue-tied.
"Get out!!" roared Clow. No one hurt his family. "I said get out!!" Once Shen left the room, he comforted his wife. "Are you okay, Madoushi? Did he hurt you? Ying Fa?"
"No. We're fine. Thank you, Clow." The two hugged each other and went to check up on the baby.
Clow sighed. "I'm going to have to put Shield on you guys for him to stay away from you two."
In the meantime, Shen was walking down the hall into the night to his own house. He mumbled something awfully low. But it kind of sounded like, "I still have yet to take my revenge."
~*~Flashback Ends~*~
"Revenge?" meeped Sakura. She gulped and asked, "What do you mean revenge?"
Eriol smirked his usual creepy grin. "You'll see.."
"Hoe! Eriol-kun, don't do that! Onegia!" Sakura shrieked. She was usually very frightened with Eriol's regular smirks. [Onegia: Please]
Syaoran glowered at him for scaring his Sakura. He stood by her just in case. "Continue, Hiiragizawa," he scowled.
"You sure? Cause you might want to snuggle next to someone for the next part..." He smirked at Sakura and Syaoran, then walked over to Tomoyo in case she needs someone to snuggle into.
Sakura and Syaoran blushed. "Hoe..." Sakura mumbled.. but she nodded.
Eriol continued, "Okay then..."
~*~Flashback~*~
It was about sixteen years since Ying Fa was born... She had grown into a beautiful lady. She didn't looked that much like her mother and father. Ying Fa kept her auburn hair flowingly long. She had lovely emerald eyes that sparkled whenever she was happy, which was most of the time. Everyone wondered where she got her strange features... since neither Clow nor Madoushi had that hair or eyes.
That day, she was practicing her magic with the cards. "Hmmm... How would you stop the Rain Card if it ran away?" she pondered. The Rain was mischievously pouring rain all over the crops... Almost flooding them.
"Try using Watery," answered a voice.
Ying Fa turned around. She faced a boy her age... With amber eyes and chocolate-brown hair. He smiled warmly toward her which made her blush. (A/n: Ahhh! Reincarnations are everywhere in the world!! Ahh!! Hmm... I wonder who I was reincarnated from.... *Ponders* Lol!)
"Umm... Hi," she greeted, happily yet nervously. "My name is Ying Fa. What's yours?" (A/n: Hmm... What to name Syaoran...?)
"Xiao Lang. Nice to meet you." The two shook hands but never let go. Realizing what was happening, Ying Fa and Xiao Lang quickly redrew their hands and turned crimson. (A/n: Boo!!! I'm boring!!)
["Sounds like Sakura and Syaoran here, ne?" Tomoyo giggled after Eriol said that part.
The couple flushed and walked opposite sides of the room. Tomoyo and Meiling giggled.]
It was love at first sight for the two. Ying Fa soon abandoned her training for a while to hang out with Xiao Lang. Clow of course was fine with that. He never seen his daughter so happy as she was with the young man.
But Shen... he was a different story. He fell out of love with his brother's wife and into love with... His niece. (A/n: How disgusting!)
He watched Ying Fa over the years and realized his love for his niece. But then this showed up and took her away from him. It seemed that people liked to steal from Shen, eh? But he wasn't going to give up that easily.
Shen kept a close eye on Ying Fa and Xiao Lang as the two went out for months probably. He was going to get the Cherry Blossom this time. All he had to do was get rid of the brother, the little wife, and the boyfriend.
~*~
About three years past by and Xiao Lang's and Ying Fa's love grew stronger and stronger. The two were to wed before Ying Fa's twentieth birthday. And when the two were wed, Clow decided that his daughter should convert the Clow Cards into her own Ying Fa Cards.
By this time, Shen had decided that his time to come would be very soon. He would have his Ying Fa and the cards for his own...
Come the day of the wedding, and Ying Fa was excitedly getting ready by herself. "Hmm... I wonder where Mother is..." she wondered as she fitted her veil on. Madoushi was supposed to help her daughter get ready for her big day... But she was 15 minutes late!
A knock came on the door. =There's Mother now!= she thought. Yes, she thought. "Come in!" she yelled happily.
But instead of Madoushi's motherly figure coming into the room, it was a man. "Uncle Shen!" Ying Fa said surprisedly. "What are you doing here?"
"Come with me, Ying Fa. We could live in peace together!" he exclaimed as he held out his hand.
"What are you talking about, Uncle Shen?" she asked worriedly.
Shen presented to her a ring. "You are going to marry me," he simply stated.
Ying Fa looked weirdly at him. "That is just plain disgusting!!! An I'm getting married today!!!" she shrieked.
"Not anymore..." Shen summoned something and a body, apparently dead, appeared in front of Ying Fa.
She gasped with tears in her eyes as she ran to Xiao Lang's lifeless body. "How could you?" she choked out.
"He was in the way of our happiness. So I had to discard him," he simply answered, smirking ever-so evilly.
"How dare you!!" she cried. "I love him! How could you kill someone I love!! Mother!!!"
"Na-ah." Shen brought forward another motionless body. This one of a woman's
"M-mo-m-mother?" Ying Fa stood there paralyzed. She hugged the dead bodies of her loved ones. "You are not of my family," she whispered.
A figure came running into the room. "Ying Fa!!!" he yelled. Clow stopped as he saw his daughter crying hysterically for her father to come, hoping he was not dead too. He also spotted his wife and his future son-in-law dead on the ground.
"Shen!! What are you doing?!!!!!!" he roared.
"Ahh.. Clow. The one I was forgetting. I wanted this fight to be good. You took everything away from me, my fame, my glory. Now it is my turn. I took your damned wife's and son-in-law's life away. I take yours soon. Then I take your daughter to be my wife. And don't forget the Clow Cards... Or Shen Cards when I transform them," Shen explained easily.
"Father!!!" screeched Ying Fa as she came running towards him. Clow also was running towards his daughter but stopped and lay on the floor.
Shen had made a huge, black orb and shot it at Clow as he was running. "As you have seen, Clow, I have grown stronger in my abilites."
Clow was on the ground, his eyes still open. "Ying Fa," he croaked, "I love you, Ying Fa..." And with that, he died.
Satisfied, Shen advanced on Clow and kicked him. He saw that he was dead; he smirked. He reverted his attention to Ying Fa.
She was crying on the floor, curled up in a ball. She glared at her uncle and whispered in a deadly tone, "You are not my family... You killed my family, you killed me." She summoned a knife in her hands. She raised them up.
"No!! Ying Fa!! Don't-" bellowed Shen. He didn't want her to die.
"Too late," she responded. "I hate you." And like that, she stabbed her chest and died with her family.
"Nooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!" Shen howled as he fell to his knees.
The Clow Cards all circled around their master, Clow. They glared up at Shen and returned to the Clow Book.
"Come here at once!" Shen demanded.
Instead of flying into Shen's hands, the book flew into a woman's. It was MeiMei.... Madoushi's younger sister. "I thought I loved you..." she replied angrily. And with that, she disappeared with the Clow Book to most likely hide it.
"Nooooooo!!!!" Shen roared again. His plan backfired on him...
~*~Flashback Ends~*~
The four stood paralyzed. Silence....
Out of the blue, "Damn..." Syaoran.
Sakura seemed very upset with the story. Her past self killed herself? Her past mother, father, and fiancee were all murdered?
"Yes, it surprises everyone," Eriol stated sadly. "Shen killed everyone... Who would have guessed that it was Clow's own brother? And that guy who keeps attacking us, that's Shen's reincarnation."
"Damn," repeated Syaoran.
"Shut up, Xiao Lang," Meiling muttered. Wait! Xiao Lang! "Umm... Was Xiao Lang's.. Err... Xiao Lang's reincarnation, Eriol-san?"
"Yes... Meaning our very own Sakura and Syaoran were meant to be together," sneered Eriol.
Sakura and Syaoran, on each side, blushed more furiously then ever. They were in love in their past? That means... The two looked at each other. They realized something. Time for a confession!!!
Tomoyo raised her camera and watched the two's shocked faces. "Kawaii!!" she yelped. =They finally figured it out!!=
Meiling smirked. "So.. You guys were in love in your past."
Eriol cut in before her... "Don't forget you were reincarnated too, Meiling-san.."
Meiling shot Eriol a look from the bed. "Excuse me?"
Eriol answered, "Do you remember I mentioned the woman MeiMei? She was in love with Shen... She hid the Clow Book..." Tomoyo gasped. Sakura and Syaoran stared at Meiling. The guardians looked at each other. Meiling stood paralyzed.
To be continued...
