Author's note: Hey ya'll sorry for the delayed update but peeps gotta keep up wit schoolwork ya know! LOL anyways there isn't much happening in this chapter they just chillin' and blowing things up. OH thank you to everyone who reviewed I really appreciate, ya heard? Ahem that's not how I speak.

Ne ways on wit da story (don't I always say that?)





"So your the boy," Kai said looking the young man over from head to two. Jamie stood still making all the elders look him over. "How did you train your powers?"

"I taught my self" Jamie answered; Syaoran, Xiao Lang and Eriol were standing across from him in silence.

"I see, you did a good job but you can do better that is why you'll start to train with Syaoran and the others" Kai stated making Syaoran look at Jamie. Who would have thought when he got home he would have found out that their first enemy would now be his sister's bodyguard and now this. He knew that the elders were up to something; they just wouldn't come out and train him like that.

"Fine" was all Jamie said. They had been in here for god knows how long asking him what he knew and just about everything about him and frankly he was getting tired of it.

"Good" Kai spoke glancing at Syaoran. "Syaoran will now have someone his age to go up against. Xiao Lang and you will have a match to see how advance you are and what areas need to improved" Jamie looked Xiao Lang and sighed groaning. He was going to get his ass kicked right after he just woke up from healing. "That will be all for tonight" he dismissed them with a wave of his hand.





Ying Fa.





"Oh my god you almost saw his butt?" Ally giggled listening to Ying Fa who turned a bit red nodding. "Is he built? How does his butt look a one or ten?"

"Ally!" Ying Fa gasped laughing; they were sitting on her porch looking up at the sky.

"What I just wanted to know" she objected smiling evilly.

"That's besides the point I have a boyfriend at least I still hope I do and you love my brother" Ying Fa pointed out giggling.

"Your no fun Ying Fa, I'm still trying to get over the fact that he's your new body guard. Oh Ken won't like this one bit" she laughed making Ying Fa frown nodding. "Hohoho I wish I was here to tape it and continue mother's collection"

"Argh your not helping, come on let's go and see if there back from meeting the elders" Ying Fa stated getting up, Ally nodded following her. When they walked down the stairs they could hear laughing coming from the living room and wondered what was going on. When they walked into the room they saw their younger brothers playing video games and sigh wondering why they had to be so loud.

"Where's mother and father?" Ying Fa asked over the commotion.

"They're talking with mama and papa," Eli answered pointing across the hall. They nodded turning to walk over there.

"Here they are now," Tomoyo laughed seeing the girls walk in. "Oh Ally your going to like this a lot"

"Like what mom?" Ally asked sitting down beside her mother. Ying Fa looked around the room and saw that neither Syaoran nor Jamie or her father and Eriol were present at the moment.

"Well I've decided to let you stay here with Ying Fa for the rest of the school year since as there only a few months left" Tomoyo answered making them gasp then and hug the other happily.

"I guess they like that idea" Sakura laughed winking at her best friend, Tomoyo nodded making sure to tape it. It was their plan to make Ying Fa's mood lighten and it seemed to be working.

"Hah now I can tape you" Ally squealed making them all sweat drop, this didn't look healthy at all.

"Mother where's father and Syaoran?" Ying Fa asked softly making Sakura smile getting up.

"Oh they are getting ready to fight. Xiao Lang is going to test Jamie and see how strong he really is" Sakura answered making Ally brighten dishing out her camera like Tomoyo. They looked at each other and laughed giddily making Sakura and Ying Fa sweat drop.

"Come on we don't want to miss anything juicy" Tomoyo chorused pulling Sakura out of the room, Ally and Ying Fa following behind.



Syaoran..





He walked out of the house and to where Jamie was sitting looking at the night sky in deep thought. He wanted to see how well Jaime could actually fight and how long he could endure going up against his father. "Can I sit?" he asked standing beside the chair.

"This is your house man" Jamie shrugged Syaoran sat sighing. Jamie tightened the belt around the black pants he was even to fight in. "What do you want to ask me about?"

"About watching my sister," Syaoran answered wondering how he knew he wanted to ask something. "And this is now your home too"

"Well are you going to ask or are you going to day dream?"

"I want to make sure she doesn't wonder off with a guy name Ken" Syaoran stated firmly. "I don't trust him and when she starts school she'll want to do that"

"Why can't you make sure she doesn't?" Jamie inquired raising a brow at him, which made Syaoran turn a bit red.

"Because I'll have my own problem," he answered tightly.

"Oh your worried about that girl whose going to be living here, your sisters best friend" Jamie observed making Syaoran glare at him. "Hold up I don't like or anything even though she's a sight"

"Am I that transparent?" he frowned running his hand through his hair.

"No to everyone else but her I suppose," Jamie chuckled making Syaoran relax. "She's seems a lot nicer then your brat of a sister" he commented making Syaoran join in a laugh.

"That's where you're wrong, they are exactly the same. And it's not a good thing that they are going to be around each other now. Your going to have your work cut out for you" Syaoran stated sympathetically.

"That's the last thing I wanted to hear, and now I have to fight your father" Jamie

"Don't worry he won't hurt you, this is just to see how far along you are" Syaoran replied when the elders started to arrive sitting in the chairs that were placed there for them.





Sakura.





"I think Syaoran and Jamie want to forget about their problems," she laughed looking out the window.

"I have a feeling your right, I feel sorry for them," Xiao Lang laughed stepping beside her as he finished tightening his belt trying to relax because this was going to be like a real fight. "Maybe now Syaoran will tell Ally how he feels"

"I doubt it unless he feels threatened" Sakura pointed out looking at her husband with soft eyes. "I just hope that Fiemie is right about her prediction" she commented.

"We'll find out soon enough" Xiao Lang smiled kissing his wife tenderly making Sakura smile.

"Uh hah" she mumbled wrapping her arms around his neck. "Come on let's go and get his over"

"Yep, I don't see why they couldn't have Syaoran do this, he's almost at my level" he sighed looking down at his wife.

Ying Fa watched as Jamie stood out on the grass waiting for her father's arrival. She had to admit that he didn't at all look tense and he was like always hiding his aura. "Why do you think he's hiding his aura?" she asked Yelen who was sitting beside her.

"He's so used to hiding that it just happens automatically," Yelen answered softly eyeing Jamie with curiosity. "Or maybe it's to have the upper advantage since as no one really knows how much power he has" Ying Fa and Ally nodded slowly watching him talk with Syaoran.

"What do you think they are talking about?" Ally whispered to Ying Fa, who shook her head when Syaoran and Jamie looked over at them.

"Obviously about us" Ying Fa answered frowning when her father appeared on the field. "I hope father teaches him a lesson or two"

"Oh come on, I know you don't mean that" Ally replied. Sakura and Eriol cast a spell over the whole property blocking out any interference from the outside world.

"Ying Fa I can't see" Lin whined climbing on her sisters lap smiling when she could see them. "I'm going to marry Jamie," she giggled dreamily making Rui, Eli and Hu gap look grossed out.

They all went silent when Syaoran and the others ran from the field only leaving Jamie and Syaoran who got in a stance. A pink and blue bubble went up around them giving them more then enough room to battle. Sakura and Eriol landed on the ground watching the two who hadn't moved yet. "This is going to be a long night" Sakura whispered making Eriol nod in agreement.

"Let's hope it's not" he sighed sitting beside Tomoyo. Everyone looked up at the sky when it started to turn dark and thunder crashed making Lin wince hugging Ying Fa.

"It's happening" she whispered watching Jamie's body engulfed by lightening raising him in the air making them close their eyes from the bright light. They heard a loud explosion making their eyes snap opening only to see the shield engulfed in smoke. The only sign that anyone was alive was the flashing of silver and green light.

"How are we supposed to see anything if it's all foggy" Eli whined folding his arms over his chest. "Father, do something"

"Hush" Eriol spoke making him sigh looking down.

Xiao Lang dogged the blast of electricity easily landing on his feet. He stood still feeling Jamie's aura flicker before it disappeared. He listened to any sound glancing around as he stood in a stance. He quickly jumped back blocking Jamie's attack with his sword. His couldn't go through because they were both using regular swords, "Not bad"

"Hah," Jamie growled before disappearing in the fog 'smart using the fog to your advantage' he thought smirking. Swords clashed as they both blocked each other's attacks. Jamie coughs stumbling back when Xiao Lang kicked him swiftly in the stomach. He looked up only to see him disappear in the fog, 'now he's using it to his advantage' he thought sarcastically.

Jamie looked up only quickly on to be sent flying backwards into the shield with a thump. Sakura and everyone gasped feeling the force at which he collided with the wall but Jamie quickly recovered and with each blow his power got stronger.

Xiao Lang jumped back wiping feeling his jaw as Jamie wiped the blood from his smirking. He could clearly see that Jamie was more then enjoying this fight and he didn't want to lie but he was also enjoying himself just as much. "Enough don't you agree?" he spat holding up his sword.

"Your the one who's playing about with me" Jamie replied taking a stance. "Why don't you kick my ass so we can be over with this, stop holding back your powers"

"Only if you do too" Xiao Lang replied sarcastically looking at the boy before him. They growled at each other jumping forward with incredible speed, their swords hit each other with such incredible force that they exploded making them shield their eyes. Jamie breathed hard as he and Xiao Lang look at their useless swords on the ground.

"Water, come forth" Jamie yelled making Xiao Lang smirked calling up fiery at the same time. They gasped feeling the horrible steam that came off the elements when they collided.

"Bad idea" he growled feeling like he was in sauna. "Shit" he lunged at Jamie knocking him off his foot but he recovered and back flipped evading Xiao Lang's kick. Xiao Lang barely blocked Jamie's punch but didn't have enough time to block his kick, making him fall on his back with a thud. Jumping to his feet, he called; "sword" making the sword card makes a sword appear in his hands.

Jamie laughed holding up his hand making electricity surround it, forming his sword. Xiao Lang looked at the sword and smiled blocking Jamie's attacks. Jamie looked at him in confusion when his sword didn't go through his. "Nice" he commented dryly making Xiao Lang chuckle. They pressed their swords against the other locked in position because no one would waver.



"Oh I have a feeling this isn't good," Sakura whispered feeling Xiao Lang and Jamie's aura rise at an unbelievable rate. She got up slowly with Rui Lin and Xiao Hu next to her.

"Daddy" Ally whispered seeing the bubble expand.

"Shhhh," Eriol whispered pulling Tomoyo towards him as all the other people back up. "Tomoyo stay here with the elders, come Sakura and children hurry," he ordered making Sakura and the kids moved forward as everyone stepped back. "I want all of you to put up a barrier and concentrate to make it strong" he ordered making Lin, Eli, Rui and Hu nod since, as they were the youngest.

Yelen watched as Pink, blue, aqua (Ying Fa), sky blue (Syaoran), red (Ally), orange (Rui), dark yellow (Hu), Purple (Lin) and finally navy blue (Eli) mixed together surrounding the house and everyone. Now all they would need is Mei Hua's lavender to complete.

"I've never seen this happen before, he's so powerful" Kai whispered to Yelen watching Jamie's silver and Xiao Lang's green continued to expand within the shield. They all covered their eyes with their arms when it finally exploded and Sakura, Eriol and the kids braced them selves feeling the power of the explosion push against the shield. The sky lit up an amazing green and silver that rocketed towards outer space leaving the yard misty.

Everyone opened their eyes looking around in a daze; Syaoran shook his head trying to focus. Slowly they let down their shields trying to feel Xiao Lang and Jamie but both were vary faint.

Xiao Lang landed on his back with a thud; rising up slowly he shook his head trying to get this eyes to focus. He felt drained and knew that Jamie felt the same since as his level was drastically lowered from their little game that as now banned. "Well that was something," he muttered getting up.

Jamie got up and dusted the dirt off what was left of his outfit, which was only his pants, but that had holes in it too. He looked at the red marks on his chest, touching them he winced in pain heading towards the house. "I'm never going to fight against him ever again," he groaned wiping the blood from his lip. He looked up when he saw Xiao Lang headed towards him not walking right either. "I feel better knowing that I'm not the only one hurt"

"Whatever kid," Xiao Lang smiled taking off the piece of cloth that was left from his shirt.

"Xiao Lang, god you had us scared" Sakura screamed flying out of nowhere into his arms making him stumble backs cringing. Jamie stood looking at them in wonder, and then longing.

"Itai Sakura," Xiao Lang got but was hugging her anyways when the other walked up. Ying Fa looked at her father then at Jamie and saw that he had more bruises and cuts then her father and smiled brightly.

"Serves you right" she muttered stopping beside Jamie who shot her a glare. "Next time you won't be able to walk"

"Shut up wench" Jamie spat coldly making Ying Fa glare at him not seeing Ally who was happily taping.

"Kawaii" Ally and Tomoyo screamed holding up the peace sign making everyone look at them and sweat drop. Jamie looked at the mother daughter duo with a lost expression, a large sweat drop falling down the side of his head. Sighing, he shook his head and walked away wondering what he had gotten himself into.

"Hey how is he doing that?" Ally whispered making everyone look at Jamie only to see his body surrounding by his aura that was swirling around him. They watched as his bruises healed slowly and was awestruck. How did his body regenerate it self?

He turned towards them looking directly at Xiao Lang. "This is my trick too" he called meaning the healing process. "And this is for you brat" he called at Ying Fa holding out his hand. Ying Fa's eyes widen seeing the wave of silver shoot towards her and was so surprised that she didn't have time to stop it.

Syaoran looked at Jamie as he hurried away, then looked at his sister and his face cracked. "Oh god Ying Fa" he laughed running after Jamie. Ying Fa felt her hair only to see that it was standing up from the electricity and screamed running after Jamie and Syaoran.

"I'm going to kill him," she hollered summoning her sword in rage followed by Ally with her camera. Everyone looked at them sweat dropping but slowly smiled. Rui, Hu and Eli looked at Lin and smiled evilly wanting to do the same thing.

"Daddy" Lin cried wanting up in his arms. Xiao Lang picked her up and looked at the boys sternly.

"Don't even think about it," he warned making them sigh sadly looking down. How come they weren't allowed to have any fun? They pushed their hands in their pockets and walked away sadly, heads lowered and kicked the grass.

"We're never allowed to have any fun," Rui Lin grumbled making Xiao Hu and Eli nod in agreement.



"I swear when I get my hands on him, he's going to be sorry," Ying Fa stated pacing back in forth in her room. She rubbed her nose after colliding with the shield Syaoran and Jamie put up to keep her out of their territory.

"Oh come on Ying Fa, at least your hair is fixed" Ally laughed making Ying Fa cringe looking at her self in the mirror. "Any ways I can't wait to start school in the morning"

"Yeah, I know it's going to be great having you there" Ying Fa smiled Ally shaking her head in agreement.





Xiao Lang.





"What happened?" Yelen asked looking at her son as they all sat in the living room with the elders.

"Nothing happened," Xiao Lang shrugged getting up from where he was sitting. "I don't understand how he's so strong and with no family around. We knew he wasn't thrown into our time because he grew up in the U.S and had parents"

"Maybe his soul was reborn," Sakura pointed out softly.

"Maybe but that means that the girl who he's looking for must have also been reborn as well" Eriol replied making them nod looking down.

"You don't think its Ying Fa?" Tomoyo asked but they shook their heads in the negative.

"It's not Ying Fa, if it was her she would have known to look for him as well. And when they met she would have recognized him automatically" Yelen answered brushing that aside as well.

"None of this makes any sense, all I know is that I saw the way he looked at you when you he first saw you out in the hall. Even though he was an animal something about you caught his attention" Xiao Lang stated. Everyone looked at Sakura who laughed nervously.

"I don't understand" she spoke gulping. She knew she didn't have any relations with the boy even though she felt something towards him but it was only motherly.

"Nor do I but I want to know more, he has to know something he's not telling us" Xiao Lang said firmly.

"Let's see the necklace attached itself to Ying Fa but he recognized Sakura" Kai whispered looking at Sakura in deep thought. He knew there had to be some kind of connection and he was going to figure out what it was.
