Chapter 8
~~~from the last chapter~~~ Yelan stood. "First let me answer the question which is bound to be next. Yes my son, Eriol Hirigazawa, Ling Chow, Melin Li, Tomoyo Daidouji, and Sakura Kinomoto are already claimed for by another in the group," she said. At that moment the teens were able to go to their respected fiancées. This outraged everyone. The elder stood to explain. "All of you know that Syaoran Li and Ling Chow inherited magic from their families as did Tomoyo Daidouji. Melin Li being around magic so much enabled her to release her magic. What you don't know is that the Li family ancestor Clow Reed was reincarnated in two forms. Eriol Hiriigazawa and Fujitake Kinomoto father of Sakura Kinomoto. Therefore making Sakura Eriol's half daughter. When Sakura was ten she found the Clow Book that had went with Clow Reed's oldest reincarnated form. She opened the book and released the Clow Cards. Later we sent Syaoran and Melin to retrieve the Cards she had and to capture the rest, but the guardian Keroberous chose Sakura to be the captor so Syaoran had no choice but to help her and capture some for him self. In the end Syaoran failed and Sakura was made the Mistress of the Clow Cards, later with help from Eriol she changed them to Sakura Cards. Earlier this year Clow Reed told these six young people that they have the fate of the world in their hands. They all trained their magic and fighting skills to the max. For they must beat Master Long to the Clow Crystal realm and collect each crystal then release the God and Goddess of the Crystal to tame all evil sorcery," he said. Now that everything was taken care of there weren't any more questions left. "Now let the festivities begin," announced Yelan. For the rest of the night there were only praises and questions for the couple that the gladly answered.
~~~~on with chapter 9~~~
Syaoran and Sakura was finally able to escape all of the press and well wishers. The made their way outside. "Whew, I don't know if I could take that much more," said Sakura leaning over the railing of the balcony looking out at the full moon. Syaoran came and wrapped her arms around her waist and laid his head on hers as she lay her head on his chest. He had opened his mouth to speak when voices were heard from within. "Hey I think Syaoran and that stupid Kinomoto came this way," it was a female voice. Syaoran frowned and mentally called his Fly card and lifted Sakura into his arms and they flew up to the roof. "Damn. I wanted to challenge her for his hand so bad," said a blond haired girl. Sakura and Syaoran both leaned over to hear more. "Why Simona. They all looked happy even though that cute Eriol has a fiancée I'm not trying to challenge the girl he loves," said a black haired girl. "So what Mina you don't know how much I wanted that man," said Simona. Next to Sakura and Syaoran someone let out a small gasps of shock. Sakura and Syaoran looked back to find Tomoyo and Eriol. *What are you guys doing up here,* Sakura and Syaoran thought to the couple. *We had escaped the crowd and came out here to be alone on the balcony on the other side of the bushes and heard voice so we jumped up here,* Tomoyo thought to the other two. *Tomoyo they want these two let's see if they are worthy,* Sakura thought to her cousin. Tomoyo nodded and grabbed Sakura's hand. Sakura used her new Teleport Card to transport them to Yelan who was talking to Melin and Ling about being able to leave early. "Is there something wrong girls," she asked as Eriol and Syaoran came running in from the balconies. "Not really it is just that we have realized there are some here who think we shouldn't be betrothed to the guys and we want to know if there was anyway to clear all of this up," said Tomoyo. "We don't want any trouble with the people of the clans saying that is isn't fair that we were picked without knowing the guys were picking wives," said Sakura. "I must agree Auntie it is very irrateing listening to all of them," said Melin. Yelan nodded and made her way up to the podium. Excuse me, but there seems to be some problems. It is said that some girls not many feel cheated for not having their chance to earn the hearts of Eriol, Ling, nor Syaoran. So with the current fiancées' permission they will be a competition to see if they have what it takes to be the brides of the young men," she said. "Any women who believe in their hearts that they have been cheated please step forward," said Yelan. Three women stepped forward. "I am Simona King from the King Clan from the U.S., fighting for the chance at the hand of Xaio-lang" said Simona. "I am Kital Juan from the Juan Clan in South America, fighting for the hand of Ling Chow" said a stunning brunette. "I am Mina Nariz from the Nariz Clan from Russia, fighting for the hand of Eriol Hirrizagawa," said Mina. "Now you each know that the guys may still reject you after the courting period," stated Yelan each girl bowed. Sakura, Tomoyo, and Melin took their spot across from the girl who wanted to take their fiancée's hand. Melin's glare made Kital uneasy. Tomoyo's sparkling eyes made Mina think twice. Sakura face held a blank stare as she bore holes through the girl in front of her who just glared. Then Sakura smiled. It was a smile like Eriol's. Simona was now also alarmed. "Oh, gods she really is your half-daughter," Syaoran whispered. They guys wasn't in the least worried. "Knowing Sakura she would lose on purpose so the girl can feel like she had a chance at you and got to feel you look," said Ling. "I know," said Syaoran.
"This is a martial arts and magical battle. Eriol will you do the honors," said Yelan. She was also looking forward to seeing what the girls could do against the girls from the next strongest clans. Eriol waved his hand and an arena appeared. The guests were settling in comfortable stands and the families and fiancées sat in a box. "Ready," Yelan called. They let the visitors go first.
I call upon the power of my clan
Let the Clan daggers come to my hand
Release....
This was Kitals chant. When her daggers formed in her hands her clothes changed she was now in a black skirt with a pattern of the Juan Clan. Her shirt was a spaghetti style with the same pattern. She wore lace up high heeled boots. Mina went next.
Scythe of Nariz
Give forth your power to me
Release....
When her scythe appeared her clothes changed. She wore a pair of lime green capris with a black symbol of the Nariz Clan. Her shirt was short sleeved and the opposite color and design. She wore black tennis-shoes. Simona went last
Sword of the Kings One that the sound of magic rings Release the power to my hands Release....
When her sword came she wore a black leather long sleeve top. And short leather shorts. She wore knee high boots. Each had the symbol of the King Clan.
The people cheered. Their families looked proud and didn't think the other girls without a true clan could do any better. The truly doubted Sakura's power over the former Clow Cards.
Melin went first and released her staff first.
Key of the rose Strong as sweet Upon my hand give forth the staff of the flame and flow of water Release.......
As she held her staff with the rose inside the circle, she waved her hand down the length of her body and changed her clothes. She wore a short skort with slits to her waist, which was bright red. She wore a white shirt that was long sleeved shirt that flared out at the end. She wore white fighting slippers with a red rose, orange phoenix, and silver and gold sun and moon. Tomoyo then stepped forward and ripped off the front of her dress
She now wore a replica of the top part of her dress. Purple thick spaghetti straps with the strips of sheer cloth that were connected to now white bands on her wrists. She wore a knee high skirt with slits that went up to her waist. The skirt was made of the same sheer material but white short shorts could be seen underneath. She wore white fighting slippers with a violet and the silver and gold sun and moon except hers were much larger then the other girls. She then did her chant.
Key of Violet bond to the earth and plants reveal your true boundless powers Release....
She then held her violet wand surrounded by a white ring that lead down the rest of the staff.
Sakura stepped forward and snapped her fingers. Her outfit changed. She wore a white halter dress that went all the way to the floor with slits up to her waist with pink short shorts underneath. The halter had floaty, pink, scoop-sleeves. She wore pink and white fighting slippers with a sliver and gold sun and moon and a pink cherry blossom with a green wolf going around the rim. (A.N.// I think I found the other chant tell me which one I should use//)
I call upon the power of my star
ancient powers near and far
with the power of magic
with the power of light
release the staff and shine your light
Release.....
Everyone had to shield their eyes against the bright light. Sakura held her staff ready. In her fighting stance. Yelan rose to her feet. "The visiting Clans get to decide if this will be a fight one-on-one or three-on-three," said Yelan. The three clans gathered. "This will be a one-on-one battle," said James King. Yelan nodded. "Alright the rules is as followed once the first blood is drawn then the battle is over. The Clans have decided that the battles will go as such. First Li vs. Juan, second Daidouji vs. Nariz, last Kinomoto vs. King," ready for the first battle.
Sakura Tomoyo went off towards the right, as Simona and Mina went off towards the left. Melin and Kital got into fighting stances. "Ready. Fight," Yelan declared.
Melin took the offensive quickly and changed her staff into daggers with red hilts and white stones using the sword card she owned. Everyone was surprised by this especially Kital. She had no choice but to defend herself from the furious blades coming closer and closer to her them Melin smiled. "Fire know my plight and surround my fight," she called. Fire surrounded them making Kital squeak and shut her eyes for a moment still defending her self. Melin did her crescent slash and cut the girl. Automatically the flames disappeared and Melin turned her daggers back into a staff and bowed. Ling went over to her and kissed her soundly. Kital then felt the pain of a cut from her shoulder to her wrist. She wanted to just bleed for not remembering Melin's famous move. But she put away her daggers and went to the healing elder who patched her arm and put a spell on it to heal faster. Kital looked at the couple with respect. Her clan was only slightly disappointed in the Clan girl but only slightly. They knew Melin had trained all of her life as required and dismissed it.
Tomoyo took her place across the from the shy looking girl. Tomoyo knew that most of the people there thought both ways. Some thought the shy clan girls was no fighter. Others thought the clan less girl had no experience. Tomoyo could tell how the girl walked and by her steady legs that she was a fighter but by her wondering eyes Tomoyo knew the girls expected her to do only fighting. Tomoyo didn't change her staff into anything. Yelan stood. "Ready. Fight," she called. Tomoyo smiled as the girl charged. The clans were confused Tomoyo hated to fight if it didn't call for it, and this didn't call for it. When the girl was nothing but a yard away Tomoyo stood straight. "Vines come forth and bind thy challenge," she called. Mina had raised her scythe to deliver a bow when she felt herself stop moving she was completely stuck. Tomoyo walked up to the girl. "Sorry," she whispered and lowered her hand to the placed where a vine wrapped around the girls hand. "Thorns," she said. A thorn slowly grew out of the vine and pressed against Mina skin. Once blood was seen Tomoyo called back her vines and let Mina go. Mina just stared at the drop of blood forming on her hand and bowed. Tomoyo bowed back. The crowd was amazed that they were completely wrong. Tomoyo went to Eriol's side as he kissed her. *I know you hate to fight,* he thought to her. *For you I would fight anything,* she thought back.
Sakura was quiet impressed with Tomoyo and Melin. She knew the people wanted something drastic, which she of course wouldn't give. She hated the unneeded lost of blood. She knew how much Simona wanted Syaoran, but she would draw blood. She stepped out to the ring and twirled her staff fast when she stopped the staff was now the Clow Sword. 'I'll do anything for that man and just so he will have to pick me after the courting period I will destroy her with one blow she vowed herself. As she to stepped into the ring. Yelan stood. "Ready. Fight," she called. As soon as the 't' of 'fight' left her mouth Sakura threw her sword like a spear that no one seen it. Sakura turned around as Simon charged. Everyone yelled for her to watch out but Yelan stood. "The battles are over, Melin is still betrhored to Ling, as is Tomoyo and Eriol, also Sakura and Syaoran," she said. Everyone thought this was a outrage. "How can this be so no one made a move yet," yelled Loise King, Simona's mother. Yelan smiled, and nodded to Sakura. "When Yelan called fight I drew the first blood. Simona now has a shallow slowly bleeding cut on her right cheek," she said. Everyone looked at Simona as a drop of blood began to flow from a almost invisible cut. Everyone gasped as Sakura called her sword from a post on the back wall. Those who sat there had never realized it was there. Simona was mad. She charged at Sakura. Sakura heard her and took the hilt of her sword, as she bent and smashed it under the girl's ribcage. The girl fell at once in a faint. Sakura bowed and walked to her friends and family who cheered her. Everyone else was silent at the girl's revictory. The Kings were ushered from the party with their daughter for her uncomfortable behavior. For the rest of the night the couples were left to their own.
