Generation Love
Chapter 1

Disclaimer: This story is a mostly based on a video that I had seen. I don't own the characters from Clamp. I only own the characters that are not from Clamp. This story is mostly based on a story that I had known. Syaoran is acting as the character of Dia Jaet Gong and Sakura is acting as the character of Siu Fu Yuong. Although, it's based on the story, many of the events I had changed it, add, or deleted it. Keep in mind that this story takes place at old-fashioned China. Try to think about how it was like at that time, and then you'll know what I'm talking about. Oh, this is not the time were kings ruled. That will be in ancient China. Because of that, some of the words would be in old-fashioned Chinese or Chinese sayings. If you know some of the Chinese sayings, you might get what I mean. If you don't, the English translations of it won't make much sense to you. Oh, by the way, I'm putting Sakura and Li as a Chinese person. Okay?

(Do not steal this song. This song is mine and I make this song. I had worked hard on it to make this song to describe a love song between S+S.)
"Here. Look what I got for you." Shao Lang implied.
A girl with auburn hair, emerald eyes, and is about the age of twenty-two opens the package and found a music box. "A music box." She said as she opens the box. "And it's my favorite melody too. It must very expensive. So that's why you have coming home late at night lately."
"I've been looking for this for a long time now. It's the melody of waiting for your return."
"It's very beautiful."
"I'm sorry. Ever since you had come to Guangzhou, I haven't given you what you need to be happy."
"Don't say that. The time here is the happiest in my life."
"Happy Birthday, Sakura. Here have a drink." Shao Lang said as he gives Sakura a cup of wine. As they were doing that, the lights of the old-fashioned house had blackout and they had heard the owner of the house complained about that they had blackout again. "Cheers." They both said in Chinese. Then Shao Lang gently took Sakura's hand and they danced. They danced along from the melody that had come out of the music box. They danced and danced until Sakura felt that her stomach started to hurt.
"Aww!" Sakura cried in pain.
Shao Lang hen fallen to the ground. "The wine.it contains poison!"
Sakura and Shao Lang then were sent to the nearest hospital. As they were half way there, Sakura spitted out blood and her pulse had stopped.
* * * *
After what had happened, Sakura have died and Shao Lang had disappeared. After that, Shao Lang's business,"Shao Lang Long" had been known that there've been ghosts. Twenty-five years later, a very unexpected thing had happened.
"Wow! Shao Lang Long is very fancy." A young man with dark brownish hair and amber-colored eyes, and is the age of twenty-five spoke as he walked in. He walked and talked to a man to hire him.
The man was in shocked when he had seen the young man. "3rd boss!"
Xiao Long moved on and asked another man.
"3rd boss!" the other man cried in shocked. He then ran toward another man. "2nd boss! There's a m-man who want to hire a j-job."
"You can take of that business." The man that was called 2nd boss implied.
"B-but take a look!" ha said as he showed him Xiao long.
"What! Brother!"
* * * *
"What is your name?" the 2nd boss asked Xiao long.
"My name is Xiao Long." Xiao long answered.
"You mind if I asked you another question? Did you mother gave birth to you?"
"Of course, my mother had gave birth to me. Starting when I was small, everyone knows that I look a lot like my mother. Do you mind if I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"I'm only looking for a job. Do you need to check my family relatives or something?"
"Oh, no. You look a lot like my brother who had disappeared years ago." 2nd boss answered.
"So you are going hire me or not?"
"Of course. Shok Baet, you can show this young man around.
"..."
"He's not 3rd boss." 2nd boss said.
"You look a lot like 3rd boss." Shok Baet said as they departed the office of 2nd boss.
Then Shok Baet showed Xiao Long around. He then took Xiao Long to a place where he putted a flight of stairs. "You must never go in there." Shok Baet told him.
"Why not?" Xiao Long asked.
Shok Baet then gave Xiao Long and harmful glared.

"Everyone, cheers!" they said as they put their cups together.
[I know it's time that we'll have to say good-bye,
As I saw you leave, I had tell myself
I'll wait for your return, to see you again.
I'll wait for your return, so we can continue our love.]
"Listen. 3rd boss's wife is singing again." One of the workers implied.
"What's she singing?"
"The Love?" another asked.
"No, she's singing 'Waiting For Your Return'" another man answered as his voice started to tremble.
"Get a grip. There is no ghost! And I don't believe in ghosts either." Xiao Long exclaimed.
"Good." Another man implied. "I've been looking for years for a brave worker to go upstairs to check if there really is a ghost or not. Since you believe that there is no ghost up there, prove it. After proving it, I'll give you five dollars."
The worker then brings Xiao Long toward the stairs. Xiao Long took the dare and walked upstairs. Upstairs, he found an old chest with many old-fashioned items. One of the items is a sheet of newspaper. On the newspaper was an article about Shao Lang, the 3rd boss. The headline says:
"3rd boss from Shao Lang Long falls in love with a maid of a female singer, Doang Fong. First Encounter changes both of their lives"
In the center was a picture of the 3rd boss, Shao Lang and next to him, was a lady. "He really looks a lot like me." Xiao Long said to himself.
Xiao Long blew away the dust and read the article.
"Shao Lang or 3rd boss from Shao Lang Long had fallen in love with a maid of Doang Fong. They had first met each other in a music club. The maid named, Sakura had accidentally got into the center of attention after the embarrassment when she had bumped into her mistress or guardian's, Doang Fong, which she singer in a theater of Yui Guium. Their love started to process as they met each other again. This time, Sakura had been out in the rain and needed someone to cover her real badly. Sakura knew that if she had gotten much wetter, her guardian, Doang Fong will banished her from her house for sure. Luckily Shao Lang passed by, and gave her his umbrella.
'The rain had poured hard. Why didn't you go to prevent the rain?' he asked.
'If I stay here more longer, Siu Jer (something like mistress) would hit me.' Sakura answered.
'You can catch cold. Here, you can have my umbrella.'
'Then what about you?'
'I'll be okay. My office is near here anyway. I'll just run there.' He said as he departed.
Sakura watched as he leaves. She smiled as he opened the umbrella and return home." [End of Article]
Xiao Long sighed. "Ton yon eum ton mang." (a Chinese saying that same person but not same life). He said, as he was about to walk downstairs. On his way, he had almost tripped by an umbrella.
"A good umbrella won't block people's way." (Another Chinese saying) he said as he brought the umbrella aside.
After he departed, the umbrella started to move tremble.
* * * *
"Xiao Long! Why aren't you going to work!" Xiao Long's twenty-four years old, fiancé or Mei Ling exclaimed.
"Is it because that the fortuneteller told you that you'll have bad luck if you go to work today?" Xiao Long's younger sister asked.
"Of course not! They said that there is a ghost so that I can't that go to work for a while." Xiao long answered.
The one of the workers went to visit Xiao Long and told him that 2nd boss needed him to return to work. The 2nd boss told Xiao Long to go to his room and told him to practice the abacus so he could get a better position in his job to earn more money than having him to be delivering baggage of rice.

In the middle of the night in Shao Lang Long, the song "Waiting for Your Return" was played again. (That's right! Xiao Long sleeps in his own bed in Shao Lang Long).
"Those mice better not played that music again." Xiao Long said as he got out of bed and walked up the stairs. As he walked up the stairs, he immediately saw a mouse on top of an old-fashioned record player. He then took the umbrella, which was now beside him and used it to hit the mouse. As he did that, the umbrella flown open. After that, Xiao Long dropped the umbrella. Now that it was quiet, Xiao Long started to make his way down stairs. As he was about to leave, the record played again. This time, there was no mouse. This time, a grandpa clock that Xiao Long hadn't notice before, started to tick. As Xiao Long turned around, he saw the umbrella beginning to float at mid-air.
As the umbrella flows more and more upwards, a spirit came out of the umbrella. After it had come out, it had kept on chasing after Xiao Long.
"Help!" he cried, "Help! There's a ghost! Help!"
Xiao Long kept on running and running. He didn't turn back. He ran with his greatest strength and would do anything to get away from the ghost. He then ran into a young lady. She had green emerald eyes, light auburn hair, and was dressed in a pink old-fashioned dress. She was doing her laundry and was interrupted while Xiao Long stepped on her clothes.
"Be careful, don't step on my clothes." The lady implied. "You're shaking. What's wrong?"
"T-there's there's a g-ghost." Xiao Long said in a scared, nervous voice.
"Everyone knows that Shao Lang Long have ghosts. Everyone says that they had saw the 3rd boss's wife. Why are you so scared?"
"W-why not?"
"Maybe the ghost needs your help."
"G-ghosts have powers. They can do anything they want. W-why w-would they need our h-help?"
"Then, you're wrong. Not all ghosts can everything. Sometimes they can't go outside, even they if they wanted to."
"W-what are y-you talking a-about? No need mind about ghost's business."
"Please." She said as she moved eastward. "I really need your help."
Xiao Long thinks that it's very suspicious of her and then noticed that her feet did not touch the ground.
"I won't hurt you." She said as she floated to the front of Xiao Long. "You don't have to be scared. I won't hurt you. I promise. Please believe in me."
Xiao Long was too scared to do anything so he pinched himself so he can just fall flat to the ground and get out of this crazy dream.
"What are you doing?" she asked Xiao Long who now lay unconscious on the ground.
