The Master's Stone
Chapter 10
Jing followed the girl to the park. She knew that the girl would be going back to her secluded area to train in private. She followed soundlessly behind jumping on the tree branches. She quickly tied her hair into a ponytail so when she jumped it wouldn't get into her face. The girl, Sakura, skipped and hopped down the trail.
'I wonder what made her so happy.' Jing looked at her watch after she tied her hair up. Three more days to go until school started. Then Jing could introduce herself to Sakura.
Jing saw a rustle in the tree that Sakura passed by. She thought it was a squirrel because a few minutes later a squirrel ran down the trunk. So Jing dismissed the thought.
*~*~*~*
Sakura was very close to her training area when she heard a loud crack behind her. She spun around but was off balance so she landed on her bottom.
In front of her was a boy. He had blue hair and eyes. Emerald green eyes were looking at him in suspicion. She's never seen him before. His eyes were twinkling with laughter when he saw her on the ground. He looked like a nice person.
"I'm sorry. Did I scare you? I just moved here." He held out a hand for her. She took it and he pulled her up.
"I'm all right." Sakura dusted herself off. Leaves and twigs were all over her dress.
"I'm Wong Mark. Pleased to meet you." He introduced himself and bowed deeply.
Sakura giggled at his formality. "I'm Kinomoto Sakura. Pleased to meet you, too."
"Are you, by any chance, going to Seijyo High?" He raised his eyebrows.
"Yes I am." Sakura answered him. He was such a polite guy.
"Then maybe I will meet you there when school starts. You'll have to give me a tour." He looked at his watch. Sakura glanced at it too. It was a very expensive looking watch.
"I have to leave now. See you at school." He waved bye to her and turned around to run off.
"Ja ne Mark." Sakura answered. She watched him leave.
*~*~*~*
Jing watched the boy leave. She frowned. Jing thought the boy looked very familiar but, in a bad way. As if… As if she had met him before. Something wasn't right. He was VERY familiar. She's just couldn't put her finger on it.
*~*~*~*
Sakura took Kero out of the bag. He pounced on her immediately. "Who was that?"
"Just a boy. He's going to be in Seijyo High too. I think he might want me to give him a tour." She replied.
"Then should we start training?"
*~*~*~*
Sakura listened to Kero as he babbled on his instructions. "Do you get it?" Kero finally finished.
Sakura nodded. She was to call for the cards. She wasn't asking them to come to her like last time. Not that calling. She was calling on them to come out without using the clow wand.
She set her feet one in front of the other and stood with her hands at her sides. She concentrated on her cherry blossom crystal and called on her card's power. (I haven't mentioned the cherry blossom crystal for a long time… I'm so sorry but I almost forgot about it!)
Finally Sakura felt a slight tingle in the back of her mind. At the same time Kero saw the cherry blossom give off a bright twinkle of light. "WINDY! Release!" Sakura yelled out. From behind her, out of nowhere, stood Windy. Windy flew out from behind Sakura and circled the clearing. All the leaves on the trees were almost blown off as Windy circled around. "WINDY! Return!" Sakura yelled out again. Windy flew back to its former place behind Sakura and then vanished.
Sakura fell to her knees.
"Sakura?! Are you okay?" Kero fluttered over. "That was pretty good considering it was your first time. It was really strong."
Sakura got back up. She shook her head and she shook her hair to her back. "Whew. I'm okay. It just took a lot out of me."
*~*~*~*
Jing blinked. 'That was strong! It almost blew me off my feet.' She let go of her tight grasp on one of the trees next to her.
Jing looked at her hands. They had indented markings from the trees because of her firm grip.
"Ouch."
*~*~*~*
Syaoran found out that since he became the Master of the Master's Stone that he could talk to the Stone whenever he wanted to. The reason was because the Stone talked to him inside his mind. The Stone didn't want others to overhear their training or else if someone was listening then that person would learn all the secrets.
Syaoran trained in secret everyday whenever he got the chance to be alone. They first trained in magic. Many of the spells and other magic things the Stone taught him were powerful. No wonder the Stone didn't want others to learn them.
*~*~*~* Tuesday - The day before school
Many people watched the fight. Each move was deadly but graceful, sharp and precise. But, each movement was like a river flowing at a constant rate and speed, never stopping. Finally, after a long time, Syaoran put down his sword. Both of them hadn't landed any blows.
"Your pretty good. I guess we're about the same level. I can't beat you and vice versa." Syaoran said looking at his sword.
Si Mun started jumping up and down in joy. "Woo hoo!!"
Amused, he watched her small act. He then caught sight of her sword. He asked her if he could see it, so she handed it to him. He took it carefully and admired the delicate and fancy stone work. Then he saw the orb.
"What's this?" Syaoran asked her. Lots of power coming from it. He should have been practicing with the Master's Stone but Si Mun had challenged him to a practice fight.
"That's the Twilight orb. It is one of the Twin orbs." Si Mun watched her sword as Syaoran was examining it.
"Then what is the other orb?" Asked Syaoran.
"Dawn is the other Twin orb." The Stone replied for Si Mun in its old wise voice. "The Twin orbs are powerful when together. They are not as powerful when they are separated. Two children, when picked to train together and have the Twin orbs usually start training together when very young."
"Then who is the other person you trained with who has the Dawn orb?" asked Syaoran.
"Li Jing has the Dawn orb." Si Mun responded. "She's like my best friend. Besides us two being cousins, we're like best friends. We both started to train young when we were given the Twin orbs."
"Where is she then?" Syaoran asked.
"You will meet her very soon." Si Mun promised.
Li Yelan came up behind Si Mun.
Si Mun felt her presence and turned around. Bowing her head respectively she asked "Yes Auntie?"
"I have informed the school Syaoran will be going to. You will go with him to school in two days. I don't want you to stay around the mansion with nothing to do."
Closing her eyes, Si Mun answered "Yes Auntie."
Yelan turned to Syaoran. "Go to the storage and you two can pick out some school supplies."
"I will mother." Syaoran nodded his head.
Yelan smiled at the two and then left.
*~*~*~*
Syaoran shrugged. "Mother doesn't let us off so easily."
Si Mun sighed. "She makes us go to school even though we're here for one week. How exciting."
Si Mun and Syaoran became pretty good friends over the last two weeks. Syaoran didn't feel tense when he was talking to her. She was fun to be with. They practiced fighting in the morning and had each other for company.
