Multiverse of Lost Memories – Prologue

It started out as any normal day would, a normal day for a teenaged girl anyway. At age 17, Ying Fa attended Seijou High. When she was younger, she had had auburn hair and emerald green eyes. Currently, she hadn't acknowledged the friends she had made back then for many years. According to her old friends, she used to dress in lively colors and make every smile simply by being in the room.

Nowadays, she had shoulder length black hair and wore contacts to make her eyes an amazingly dark purple. She stayed in the background and hoped no one would notice her. Her closest friend had frowned on such behavior when the former brunette had started her change, but there was nothing she could do to stop the transformation. Eventually, she had given up and found new friends, forgetting about the brunette completely.

The brunette's father had gone away on a dig expected to last two or more years her freshman year and her brother had long since moved out and gone to college. He had become a doctor, just like he had wanted, but unfortunately, this left very little time for him to take care of himself, never mind visit his sister.

So she stayed in the house all by herself, living off the checks her father sent every two weeks and the occasional care package from her brother. Another of her old friends had moved back to England and hadn't stayed in touch. An old teacher, possibly the only female adult Ying Fa could confide in, had gone with him to take care of her ailing mother.

Ying Fa had built a wall around herself and no one could bring her out of it, not even her guardians; for she was someone special who had magic powers others can only dream of. Her sun guardian was sealed away in the magical book that had started her magical adventures, and her moon guardian had moved in with her brother. Her old circle of friends had abandoned her once they found that they could not help her.

There was one thing good that came out of all this though; she was the best student at Seijou High, possibly of the entire sector and had privileges the other students didn't have. For example, she could study at home and just hand in her work at the end of the week and she only had to attend each class once a week. Today was that day and she sighed, hoping Jason, the school player/antagonist/bully/pervert, wouldn't find her again. In an effort to avoid him, she had avoided him as much as possible by taking these privileges and ignoring him, but it didn't seem to be working.

She got ready for school and locked the door as she left her home. There were two others she had counted as best friends when she was in elementary school. They had moved back to Hong Kong on the orders of their superiors. They were of an ancient clan that trained their descendents in the art of magic as soon as they were able to learn. To disobey would have been suicide.

She missed all of them, but of these the four young best friends she had had; she held one above all others for she had finally figured out her feelings for this one young man, Li Xiao Lang or in Japanese, Li Syaoran. He was the closest to her heart and she lived only to see if he fulfilled his promise to come back to her. Yes, if you had not guessed so yet, this young lady under the assumed name of Ying Fa was really Kinomouto Sakura, Mistress of the Star Cards.
