The room was silent before Yelan turned to the other delegates. "I suggest we all go and get our men ready for their training."

The delegates rose and bowed to Yelan before leaving. Only Syaoran, Yelan and her four daughters remained.

"Mother, why did you choose to have a woman train our men and me?" Yelan turned to face her son where he sat, feet propped up on the table.

"Because, she will prove to be a powerful ally, one we should use to our full advantage. She has also proved to be more powerful than you and you were thought to be the strongest. With her training you, there is no doubt we will win this battle."

"Just think, a woman warrior"

"There has never been one before"

"I wish I could be like her"

"She is very beautiful, think of the match she will make with little brother" The conversation continued on like that as the four Li sisters rambled on and on.

"Daughters that is enough" Immediately the four stopped and stared at their mother.

"Now I want the four of you to leave, I need to speak to your brother." They nodded, bowed and hurried out of the room. She looked intently at him as he tilted his chair onto its back legs.

"Mother" He closed his eyes and waited for her to speak. "Did you feel her aura?" He opened his eyes and looked at her as she studied him carefully.

"Of course, I couldn't sense a lot of it. She keeps it well hidden even when she allows it to show." He watched as she closed her eyes. "Her aura contains something I haven't felt in years. Almost like the lost clan's blood."

Syaoran gasped as realization set in. He took his feet off the table and his chair fell forwards onto all four legs with a thump. He had heard about the lost clan since he was 10 and about how suddenly the most powerful clan, aside for their own on all of Earth had just suddenly disappeared. Every last descendant, mother, father and child killed. Members of every other clan sent out search parties looking for survivors across the land, but none had been found.

"You mean the Clan that possessed the Clow Cards?" Yelan opened her eyes and looked to her son who stared back at her in disbelief.

"Yes, but we never figured out what happened to them."

He couldn't believe it, he just couldn't. "But what happened to them in the first place? They never did find the daughter of the leader's body. Could this mysterious woman warrior be her?"

Yelan shook her head. "We have no way of knowing. We have to take into account that she doesn't possess the clan's symbolic tattoo and without proof and confirmation with her we may never know." They sat in silence for long moments, neither of them moving or saying a word. Both lost in their own thoughts.

It was as such that they also didn't feel her aura as she stood deep in the shadows listening to every word they said. She stepped out of the shadows and looked at them before looking up at the ceiling. "So it is true then, well looks like I have my work cut out for me."

She did not stick around to hear anymore 'I have a job to do'
