A Troublesome Child By: sakuraflowergal
"Ying Yuan, look what I had made for you!" Tomoyo squealed excitedly.
She held up a beautiful floor-length gown and presented it to the little girl. The dress is a creamy white color that had little golden stars embroidered in the chiffon material. Rhinestones form the straps for the gown and gave it an elegant and sparkly feeling. The little slippers that came along with it were also white and had rhinestones on the lining.
"Oh my god! This is gorgeous!" Ying Yuan gasped.
"Let me dress you up!" Tomoyo said, dragging Ying Yuan into her room.
A week after the big battle with the Dark Magician, the gang is back in Tomoyo's home in Japan. The gang, except for Touya, had a hard way worming out of Korea as they were assumed dead and missing on the sunken plane. However, one way or another, the gang had managed to convince the immigration that they had not been on the plane as Ying Yuan became sick and needed a doctor immediately. The Dark Magician woken up the day after the battle and Lord Li made a time portal and sent the now magic-less man back to his time. Touya and Yue also woke up on that day with no memories of what had happened. Since the event had not been pleasant, no one minded it.
"You're beautiful!" Tomoyo said, admiring her handiwork.
Dressed in the gown, Ying Yuan looked like an angel that had descended to safe all mankind. Tomoyo did her long hair into a bun and the loose strands framed her face. Adding the finishing touch, Tomoyo pinned a Rhinestone tiara in place. Now, the angel had perfectly transformed into a princess, with grace, poise and elegance.
Sakura walked in with a tray full of cookies and pudding and saw the princess.
"Wow, who is this princess?" Sakura teased.
"Mama look, am I pretty?" Ying Yuan asked. (she asked the same question in chapter 8)
"You look divine, Darling. Here, have some cookies and pudding." Sakura offered.
Looking at her daughter, she can't help thinking about how much Ying Yuan have matured during the two months. She was a very young child who had extreme difficulties in controlling her magic and had turned the house over during her absence. Now, though same age, Ying Yuan could control her magic well and use them on will. Sakura smiled as her daughter took a cookie.
"PUDDING!!!"
Kero flew in light speed to them and grab the pudding.
"Kero-chan!" Sakura shouted.
"What?" Kero said as he lifted a spoon.
"Where had you been? I hadn't seen you for the longest time!" Sakura said.
"I fell asleep in Tomoyo's luggage until I woke up today and smelled the pudding and cookies." Kero said before swallowing a spoonful of pudding.
"You mean." Sakura could not find the exact words to continue her sentence.
"Hey, it seems so peaceful. Rather hard to believe that Ying Yuan is in danger of being kidnapped by the Dark Magician?" Kero said.
This confirms all doubts Sakura had in her mind. Kero had slept through the entire fight when he hid in the luggage. It took quite a bit of time to retell what happened when he was asleep to Kero as he could not believe that he had lost his chance to perform!
"How could I have slept through all this?!" Kero exclaimed.
"That is something I wanted to ask you." Sakura said.
Then, a maid walked in.
"Lord Li wishes to see everyone in the living room."
"Ok." They replied.
Moments later, the gang is in the living room with Lord Li.
"Today is a full moon." Lord Li said before he paused.
"So?" Touya asked, knowing that there is a second part.
"So I have decided to send Ying Yuan back to her time tonight." Lord Li continued.
"What?! Why so sudden?" Sakura exclaimed loudly.
"It is not sudden at all. I had known that there is a full moon tonight few months ago." Lord Li said.
"You planned to send her back tonight and you did not tell us until today?!" Sakura shouted.
"Watch it. Please maintain your respect for me." Lord Li said.
Sakura calmed down and she gestured Syaoran to ask the questions.
"May I know why are we not informed about this plan when is directly affects us." Syaoran asked politely.
"Though I had known about the full moon tonight, I never decided to send Ying Yuan back until yesterday night." Lord Li said.
"Why tonight? Why not the next full moon? Why?!" Sakura asked, now close to tears.
"I am sure however strong Ying Yuan is, her magic would not be able to last until next full moon. And, Ying Yuan's parents would be worried for her; after all, she had been missing from home for two months." Lord Li said.
With that, Sakura fell silent. Then, without warning, Sakura got up and dashed outside. Everyone went after her and found her crying on the bridge in the garden. (Sakura runs really fast)
"How can I be so selfish? I had never given your parents a thought! How worried they could be and how they could have thought that you could be dead!" Sakura sobbed.
Ying Yuan and Syaoran tried to comfort her but Sakura just keep crying. Then, Lord Li said.
"Stop crying. I have given you time to say your goodbyes by sending her back tonight instead of at this moment. If you are going to cry away the time, I will change the time to now."
"Please don't, thank you for giving me the time." Sakura said quickly.
They all went back into the house and Sakura went to her room. After a long while, she finally came out of her room and she went to the living room where she knows everyone is.
"Come here, Ying Yuan." Sakura called for Ying Yuan softly.
Ying Yuan walked over. She could feel that Sakura's aura had become very weak. Holding out a golden music box with beautiful rhinestones embedded in it, Sakura whispered.
"This is for you. It's a music box. Open it."
Ying Yuan did but the box wouldn't open.
"Use your key." Sakura said, pointing to her chest.
Ying Yuan took out her heart key and inserts it into the keyhole. The lock clicked open and the music box melted into a screen. Beautiful lullaby played softy as images project onto the screen. Scenes of Ying Yuan modeling Sakura's clothes and Syaoran praising Ying Yuan of a good job done were seen once again on the screen, like looking into a memory.
"Oh my god! Thank you, Mama! It's beautiful. What can I say?" Ying Yuan said, touched.
"Say you love me and will never forget me." Sakura said.
"I love you. I will never forget the wonderful days I spent here with you. I will treasure this music box. Thank you!" Ying Yuan said and gave her a big hug.
"Here, take this." Syaoran said.
He showed her a sword brooch and helped her pinned it onto her gown which Tomoyo still refused to take down.
"I have transferred some of my aura into it so when you carry it with you, it is like having mw with you." Syaoran said.
"Thank you, Papa. I really loved it." Ying Yuan said, now sobbing.
The three of them hugged tightly and it was quite awhile before they let go. Turning to the rest of the gang, the family found themselves surrounded by many people tearing up.
Tomoyo stepped up and wiped away her tears. She took out a huge luggage and placed it in front of Ying Yuan.
"I don't have magic and I could not give you all the wonderful gifts that your parents had given you. However, ever since you came, I had been making clothes for you. You modeled some of them but there were still many that I hadn't given you. This luggage is full of all the clothes that I had made for you."
The gang sweat dropped. The clothes that Ying Yuan had modeled could hardly fill up 1/10 of the luggage and Ying Yuan had modeled MANY clothes.
The rest of the gang presented their gifts to the little girl (I am not going to do the description or it will be far too long winded) and soon, it is time for Ying Yuan to go.
"Don't forget about us." Nakuru said.
"I wouldn't." Ying Yuan assured her.
Ying Yuan walked up to Lord Li and waited for him to create a time portal.
"Before you go, I want you to know why you staff and magic is of heart." Lord Li said.
"Why?" Ying Yuan asked, never wondering about it.
"You were the product of an extremely strong love. Once you were born, you were showered with love. Born and raised under love, your powers have developed into the shape of a heart. Your color is yellow because you have a heart of gold. You humbleness had changed the gold color into yellow as gold represents proud and arrogant." Lord Li explained.
"Thank you for telling me all this." Ying Yuan said.
"I tell you this because you must realize that your destiny is to share your love with all others." Lord Li said.
"I know. Thank you." Ying Yuan said and she hugged him.
Lord Li was taken aback by her actions. No one had ever attempt to hug him before. Then, after recovering his right mind, he hugged her back.
The gang stared. No one would every think of hugging Lord Li except Ying Yuan.
They pulled back and Lord Li opened up the Time Portal.
Ying Yuan waved goodbye and then proceed to carry all her gifts with her (it turns out to be many, especially Tomoyo's luggage) This time, the time tunnel is bright and seems to be full of hope, unlike the dark like the tunnel in which Ying Yuan came from. Seeing this, Sakura whispered to Syaoran.
"It's like how she carries many responsibilities and burdens but if you look at where she is heading, you can be sure that she is taking the one of the brightest road there is around her."
