I'm sorry that I haven't written in a while but I've been on a lazy streak. I haven't even been on my computer in a couple of days. Yesterday I spent the entire day reading.

I do not now nor will I ever own Card Captor Sakura. Now that that is over on with my story.

Of War & Prophesy

The Warrior

Syaoran walked onto the training ground. Groups of men where everywhere sparring, running drills, conditioning and talking. In the middle of the crowd he spotted the boy practicing hand to hand combat with a man twice his size.

The boy took full advantage of the man's size ducking and dodjing every swing. The large man was puffing like a bellows but his small aponent looked as if he had not been doing anything more strenuous than walking in the park. Suddenly the boy gave him a swift kick in the gut and he doubled over in pain. Then the boy dropped down and swept his leg around and knocked the winded man off his feet.

Syaoran clapped along with the rest of the watching men. "A very good job, but lets see how you do against someone with a different style." He stepped into the makeshift ring and both fighters adopted a fighting stance.

They didn't move, just stared at each other trying to size up their apponent. Syaoran felt a light touch on his mind and quickly pushed it away then with a yell he rushed at the boy who barely had time to dodge.

Syaoran was in a completely different league from the other men he had fought. His style was solid and he was not sluggish or muscle bound. He was finely toned so that he had all the strength he needed without compremising speed. He couldn't just dodge the attacks but he had to block as well. It was all he could do to defend.

Syaoran was having problems himself. No matter how hard he tried he couldn't get a good hit, the kid either dodged or blocked. It dragged on for what seemed like hours and both were panting and sweating when the boy suddenly threw a hard right and Syaoran caught his fist then neatly knocked his legs out from under him.

The boy lay spralled on the floor panting for breath. Syaoran held out a hand to help him up. "That was a good fight, few have ever lasted so long against me. What is your name?"

The boy's green eyes flashed with appreciation at the complement. "I'm Senka. It's been a long time since anyone was able to beat me."

"Not surprising, you fight well for someone your size."

The boy's eyes darkened in anger and indignation. "My size has nothing to do with it ya damn jerk!" Then he walked over to the targets and began practicing archery.

"So how was training?"

Syaoran collapsed onto his bed and looked wryly at Eriol. "I found out who that warrior is."

"And…"

"His name is Senka, he has undeniable talent and skill and a mouth like a sailor. He also seems insecure about his size."

"So good or bad?"

"Hard to say. All he talked about was fighting, it's like he's missing half his personality. And the language, I'm all for cussing but not all the time."

Eriol sighed and sat down. "Just give it time. It's not like you've never cussed."

"Of course I cuss, but not like him. He called me a damn jerk then proceeded to use every other profanity through out the day. It was the larger chunk of his vocabulary. So, how was your day?"

Eriol smiled. "Can I really talk about myself in your presence your highness?"

Syaoran smirked at the sarcasm in his friends voice. "Well I think this time we can make an exception."

"You are too kind." Eriol's blue eyes were sparkling with mirth. "Well I spent the day with a woman named Tomoyo. We sat together at the feast and we really hit it off. She's the most beautiful girl I've ever met, long black hair and violet eyes and she's so elegant. I think she really likes me!"

Syaoran spent the evening listening to his friend gush about his new girl friend.

Well that's it. I know it was a short chapter but I didn't really need all that much to introduce Senka. He's a rather simple character but he is important. My story would be nothing with out the feisty little warrior.

Anyway now that all the main characters have all been introduced I challenge all of you readers to figure out what my plot twist is going to be. Since this chapter was so short I promise to type up the next one tomorrow no matter how lazy I feel. Till next time. Ja ne.
