AN: Here's the update, weeks late but umm…worth the wait? I have taken several liberties with the ideas of reincarnation from several cultures and hope I don't offend anyone.

Haunted

Reincarnation

Reincarnation is a funny thing.

Even those that would be considered evil are given renewed chances at life. And though they may progress from different forms and lives it is eventually up to the soul itself to decide whether or not it will change for the better.

Meiling had not been an evil person. Vain, selfish, and maybe even superior but never driven to the point of evil. Until she had orchestrated the deaths of the two destined lovers Sakura and Syaoran.

That was when she was sentenced to infernal torture until she had repaid her debt.

So she went through what seemed like endless pain and suffering until she was allowed to reincarnate. And from the moment that she reincarnated her soul had only one mission…find Sakura and make her pay for what she had done.

Even without memories of her former life Meiling had begun this mission from the instant she saw Sakura…and she had every intention of carrying it through.

Waking up in the morning Sakura found that she was exhausted beyond belief. She knew in the back of her mind that she hadn't gotten any rest but was completely at a loss as to why. So springing out of bed she went to the bathroom to get ready for school and realized that her eyes were red and somewhat puffy.

"Was I Crying?"

Shaking her head she got ready school…

"Two new students in the same week!" Exclaimed Tomoyo with some degree of surprise

"Well at least this one is certainly more attractive than Kinomoto…" Said Meiling with a bit of a smug smile as she watched the new student walk into their homeroom.

"Why are you so hard on…Sakura!"

Entering Sakura gave a shy nod to Tomoyo and took her seat, or at least was about to when she realized that someone she had not seen yesterday had already sat in it.

"Umm…" Timidly trying to find the words to claim her seat Sakura murmured softly, "I'm sorry…this is my seat…"

Now it just so happened that during the battle between Syaoran and his former comrades Syaoran had killed his commander, the head hunter. The very man that had sentenced Sakura to death had also been reincarnated…and this particular soul's desire was to sentence Syaoran and Sakura to what he himself had been subjected to.

Death

"Oh…I'm sorry…" Standing up the dark-haired young man took and placed a light kiss upon Sakura's hand.

Blushing furiously Sakura took her seat and pretended to pay attention to the teacher as he seated the new boy next to her. When his back was turned Sakura found a note had been placed upon her desk.

My name…is Eriol…

Though he too had suffered for separating the two destined lovers head hunter Eriol had been reincarnated with his memories still intact…

The fact that he had been transferred to the very town and very school where one of his two targets resided.

Fate it seems is not without its sense of cruelty.

AN: That was a confusing chapter. Woo…I might redo it.
