The Warrior Princess



In the princess quarters Sakura couldn't stop crying. the memory of those words made her heart ache as nothing else had. She hurted desperately. But she had come to a decision that would free Severna out of it's problem

Flashback

"Me...? but...Why?" She asked her father still not understanding what was going on

"We don't know Sakura, we just know she wants you" Explained Fujitaka "At first I thought she wanted you to get married to her son, Prince Xiaolang but...?

"But what?"

"We found out he's engaged already..." completed Touya "...with his cousin"

Sakura's eyes began filling with tears. She didn't want to leave Severna. That was her house. All her friends were there

"It's your decision Sakura-chan" Said Fujitaka "If you don't want to go on with this... We'll understand"


But Sakura knew the implications of saying no to this proposal. The eternal war had separated mothers and sons, wives and husbans, Fathers from their children. Some came back, others didn't and sometimes the ones that came back were so badly crippled that they ended up suffering for the rest of their lives. The end of the war was in her hands and she couldn't afford to be selfish

"I agree" She said "Besides we have great knights, we won't lose" Then turning to her people she said "We won't lose!"


END OF FLASHBACK

She looked so sure that day, but at the same time she didn't like the tournament idea, wars always needed bloodsheds from the innocent.

What had her feeling worse was the news she heard from Yue as he came back and hid to talk with Keroberos


FLASHBACK

"They're magic users Keroberos" said Yue "I still don't know why The King agreed"

"He must have his reasons don't you think Yue?"

Yue nodded "the King wouldn't sacrifice his daughter without a reason, he always knows what he's doing."

Keoberos nodded

END OF FLASHBACK

Sakura's thought's were interrupted when she heard a knock on her door, followed by the voices of her 4 best friends

"Sakura-chan, how are you feeling?" Asked Tomoyo

"We're all so mad! we still don't know why Queen witch Yelan asked for you!" said Rika who approached her and held her hand

"We've come to the decision that if you go, we go with you also Hime-sama!" Said Naoko as Chiharu cried her eyes out

Sakura smiled "Thank you minna! but we won't go anyway!"

"They say that the Kieran warriors are totally ruthless and go to great lenghts to defend the honor of the queen and the heir" Said Chiharu between sobs

"Do you actually know why the queen asked strickly for you?" Asked Tomoyo

Sakura shook her head

"Well at least is not to marry you to that caveman she has for a son" said Lady Rika "The things I've heard about that man are enough to make you despise him!"

"I've heard he never smiles, nor cries or anything! he doesn't have any feeling whatsoever" Added Naoko "Almost as a ghost"

Hearing the word ghost made Sakura jump from her bed "H-He's a g-ghost?"

"Don't pay any attention to Lady Naoko, you know how she likes to overdo things!" said Lady Rika "Well girls it's time we left Sakura-chan alone, she needs to rest now"

"Aww... Do we have to?" Said Chiharu

Rika nodded "We'll be with her all day tomorrow so now let's go"

After saying Good night all the girls left... except Tomoyo

"Do you think it has to do with the Sakura Cards, right?" said Tomoyo bluntly

Sakura looked at her. Tomoyo could read her like a book, which strangely was always very annoying but today came as a hand in a glove. She nodded.

"Earlier today I heard Keroberos and Yue talking about how Yue felt they were magic users, but that he knew that Otousan had a plan because he would never give me away"

"You've talked to them?"

"Not yet" answered the princess "besides Yukito went out with Touya and Kero said something about going to the enchanted woods"

"That's weird" said Tomoyo

"What's weird?"

"I saw Touya training with the knights today... there was no Yukito"

Sakura blinked




The enchanted woods outside of Severna were filled with folks tales about ghosts and strange creatures. Everyone was scared to death of them and nobody entered. Legend had it that The sylphs, spirits of air, Ifrit the spirit of fire, Undine, the spirit of water, And Gnome the spirit of earth lived there... but actually the only ones that lived there and only till Sakura finished catching them were the clow cards themselves.

Since everyone was so deadly scared of them, the Sakura book guardians decided that this was the perfect place to talk to their former master

"Are you sure he'll come here Yue?" asked Kerberos who still didn't believe that Fujitaka wanted to meet with them

The angel nodded his head an looked down signaling a place where they both felt a familiar energy
"Look, down there"

The winged Lion couldn't believe what he saw. There sitting in a tree stump was the King himself waiting for both of them.

"You're late" he said

As both creatures landed they bowed politely in front of him. the first one to talk was Yue

"Master, why did you call us? Does this have to do with our new mistress?"

Fujitaka smiled and nodded "It's time for the Mystical Warrior to wake up"






Meanwhile in Kieran, Prince Xiaolang was training with his friends sir Hiraguizawa and Sir Yamazaki, both officers of the Kieran army

"Xiaolang, Why... are you so mad?" asked Takashi as he defended himself from each blow of The prince sword

"Don't worry Takashi, he's just mad 'cause the Queen sent him to participate in a tournament... " said Hiraguizawa

"Another one? but we just came from Varonne's?" said Takashi

"This isn't any other tournament Takashi" said Xiaolang "This one is in Severna.. It's made to stop the war"

"Yatta!!!, about time! A tournament with a reason! I'll go" Said Takashi, who lost concentration and fell to the floor

"Not with that form you won't my friend" Said Xiaolang mocking him

"Come on Xiaolang, let Takashi be. Fight me, I bet I'll win you!" Teased the young man "If you win I'll talk to your mother so that she'll leave you alone"

Knowing that Eriol and his mother had a lot of confidence in each other, Xiaolang accepted "O.K Eriol, If I win you'll do that and you'll have to keep Meiling away from me for a week" he said

"It's a bet" said Eriol as he grabbed his sword and set himself in fighting stance

As the swords collided with each other the cold, metallic sound filled the room, both men were really habile with their swords. Even thought they were heavy in their hands, it seems like they were really feathers, all blows were avoided. this continued for a really long time

"You've gotten better Xiaolang, but I'm still the best!" In a swift move Eriol disarmed Syaoran of his sword, leaving him only with his shield "I guess we're all going to Severna, don't you think prince?"

Syaoran growled while Takashi cheered





Meanwhile in the enchanted woods, the king had finished his talk with the two guardians

"Are you sure Sakura is the one, Clow?" Asked Keroberos "it's so sudden"

He nodded "The mystical warrior is sealed in the book and in the sword, both have found their owners, that means the Valhalla Knight is going to be released once again"

"But you killed him several lifetimes ago" said Yue

"You can't never kill him as long as there is evil in this world, and now that both the queen and I have found a way to end the war that keeps him in the underworld he'll escape. Both the book and the sword were created to hold the ultimate magic, the magic that will destroy once and for all that evil being. But Sakura is still unwise in the art of fighting, yet she has an excellent domain on magic, enough to have created her own. her counter part on the other hand has a magical and fighting skill. My other part has done an excellent job"

"If Sakura is the Mystical Warrior along with that... kid that means she'll master whatever we teach her very fast... including before the tournament" Said Keroberos "she mastered her magic in half the time it took you Clow"

"I know, she's stronger than me also"

Keroberos sighed "The one that holds the sword will be ruthless against his enemies, but the one that holds the book will hold the sword's mind making it wise enough to control his feelings, and guide him to victory!"

"We'll do it, we'll train her as we did with the cards" Said Yue

"Please give her this" said Fujitaka. And with a swirl of his hands a Silver sword appeared. "This was her mother's. It had been in her family for generations. Also with this we'll know for sure if she's the chosen one. Now go and protect my daughter"

As the Guardians turned around, Yue looked at Fujitaka "When will you tell her the truth?"

Fujitaka looked at him, a smile on his face "The time will come very soon Silver guardian, very soon"





"We're going to Kieran! Pretty ladies, Great food...."

"And the hatred of everyone who sees us! Takashi, sometimes you amaze me!" said Xiaolang

"Hey, don't be a party pooper! Severna girls are said to be the perfect wives. Lovable, cute and caring!. They say the princess is a jewel!" Said Eriol

"You only care about the girls too don't you Eriol?" said Xiaolang as he glared at his friend

"The king said we would stay in his castle, along with the ten knights who'll go with us" Informed Eriol

"Mother arranged a meeting with the swordsmiths to make us new armor and weapons. It seems she really wants us to win this tournament, along with our ten knights. By the way, who's going with us?"

The silence took over the 3 men. Xiaolang got impatient

"I asked a question! answer me!"

Eriol knowing that it wouldn't do any good to hide it said finally "Dorcas men"

Xiaolang paled Dorcas and his men were the most undisciplined in the whole Kieran army. They never obeyed orders and were ruthless carnivores they lived for war and war only "Dorcas is going with us? Who gave that order?"

"They are the only ones available, everyone else is on the front line" Said Eriol

"I'd rather go alone" Said Xiaolang

"Don't worry, they'll go after us. That way we can see how things in Severna are without getting in trouble"

"And of course we'll check the gals!!!!" said Takashi making everyone sweatdrop



After looking all around the castle for her guardians with no luck, Sakura returned to her cuarters.

"I wonder were Kero and Yue-san are?" She said aloud.

As he walked towards her bed something caught her eye. In her window, almost as if waiting for her, a sword stood. Its Silver color shining along with the rays of the sun.

"Hoe? How did that get here?" She walked towards it, almost as if it were calling her. As she extended her hands to hold it, a big light enveloped her body almost blinding her. Inside the light, she heard a voice

"He who holds the sword is a part of the contract"

Suddenly as it had come, the light had gone. A strange glow was around Sakura and in the window stood both Yue and Keroberos

She looked at both her guardians, scared as nothing else

"What does this mean?" she said "What is going on?! what does this mean?!
