Chapter 13: Time to train

Duck, slash, jab, slash, counter, thrush. Yelan stumbled backward and fell into the wall as Mia held her sickle blades to Yelan's neck. The bell timer sounded. "Well done Mia, why don't we take a well deserved break and have some tea. We've been at this a good few hours now," Yelan observed as Mia helped her up before the two hung their chosen weapons on their stands. The two walked out onto the porch at the side of the dojo and sat as a maid brought out a tray table of tea and sweets. "You are doing very well Mia, I'm very impressed. You are coping well with all aspects. Have you decided which of the weapons you like best?" Yelan continued pouring the tea.

"Hai I have. I like using the long sword like Syaoran uses but the twin sickles have got to be my favourite," Mia said taking her tea and sipping it slowly. She was getting better day by day and loved the training. Yelan had taught her some things to do with her magic as well. She had found that since she had been untrained for so long and that her magic had been dormant until the day at the hospital it would take a very long time and a lot of hard work before she could do catch up with Wolf. Not that she wanted to, she was quiet happy with her abilities for the moment. She was able to attack with energy spheres and defend herself with her energy shield. She could heal minor wounds and boast another magic user's powers. She found herself content with that for now especially with the newest trick Yelan had taught her which was to surround her weapon with her aura thus making the attack more powerful. Yelan had gotten the idea from when Mia had punched Traslern.

"Would you like to keep the sickles Mia? I think they are best suited to you," Yelan said taking a small sip of her tea.

"Hai, Arigato Yelan," Mia said as a robed figure came towards them. They both stood and bowed in their training clothes. The elder bowed back and said, "Good afternoon Yelan san, Mia san how goes the training."

"Good afternoon to you too Sela sama, the training is going great we were just breaking for tea, would you like to join us," Yelan said as Mia nodded.

"I would love to; I also came to tell you that Traslern sama has finally woken up,"

"Finally I thought that baka teme would never wake up, oh yeah come on Yelan cough up," Mia said a cheeky grin set in place as she took popped a sweet into her mouth. "Oh well, I guess fair is fair here you go Mia," Yelan replied handing a see-through pouch of rolled up yen notes to Mia.

"What is this all about?" Sela asked.

"A bet,"

"As Mia said, a bet Sela I said that it would take Traslern 2 months to wake up while Mia said 1," Yelan explained as Sela choked on her tea. The three sat laughing when the talk came onto the up and coming battle against the power snatchers. Mia seemed to withdraw then and said, "I wish that it wasn't happening, I don't want to see Wolf kun get hurt, and I'm kind of scared." She said this just as new person joined them on the porch.

"Well Mia, maybe I ought to give you my invincible spell," Sakura said sitting down beside Mia.

"Nani is that Sakura,"

"Everything will surely be alright," Sakura said with a smile.

Two weeks later it was time for them to go back to Japan. The whole family was at the airport to see them off. Kari cried as she hugged Mia and Wolf good bye. She had become very attached to Mia, Alara and Shinji over the holiday and hated to see them leave. "Woofy no go, peese Woof and Mi chan no go," Kari cried holding onto Wolf's leg.

"Don't worry Kari chan, we'll come back and maybe you can come and visit us some time," Mia said taking out her handkerchief and drying the little girl's eyes.

"Oke, me no cry no more bye Woof, bye Mi chan,"

"By Kari," they answered as she ran back to her parents. Lastly Yelan said good bye. She shook hands with Yukito, Touya and Shinji and went on to hug every one else until she came to Wolf and Mia. Hugging him she pulled away and gave him a mischievous wink and then knelt down in front of Mia. She first gave her a hug and then kissed her lightly as a mother would her daughter (like she does with Sakura in the first movie). "Take care of yourself Mia, you have done extraordinarily well and I'm proud of you, just remember to keep a level head and stay together".

The flight back to Japan was rather boring for the teens all of them falling asleep about half an hour in. When they landed they all headed straight for home except for Alara who went with Shinji. The next few months passed with no sign of the power snatchers or broker. The whole family kept their eyes open and watched the news daily but there seemed to be no sign of them. Wolf and Mia trained daily so to be in top form when the power snatchers decided to strike. Three months after the Christmas celebrations Sakura received a call from Eriol who had moved Tomoyo and their youngest daughter Alexis to England. "Moshi moshi Li residence, Ranol speaking how may I help you," a butler answered the phone.

"Moshi moshi, Hiiragizawa Eriol desu, may I speak to Li Sakura onegai?"

"Hai Hiiragizawa sama," the butler answered and went to get Sakura.

"Moshi moshi, Li Sakura desu,"

"Sakura san, konnichi wa Eriol desu,"

"Eriol kun konnichi wa daijobu desu ka ? How are Tomoyo and Lexy?"

"We are all fine Sakura san demo I have something very important to tell you"

"Nani Eriol kun?"

"We have a problem Sakura san. I've recently been doing research into ancient Chinese legends and found one that sounds like it may b talking about Wolf and his young friend,"

"Are you sure Eriol...," Sakura started when a crack, thump and what sounded like someone groaning reached her ear. "Eriol, Eriol... Eriol kun answer me," Sakura said. All she heard was a cold, sadistic laugh coming from the other side of the phone and a voice said, "I'm afraid the oh so great clow reed cannot help you anymore my dear. Your powers are next!" and with that the line went dead.

Yep another cliffy, sure not as much as most of my cliffies but a cliffy non the less. Hope you enjoyed it. Like i said short, sweet but kind of key to the plot. Anyway hope to start on next chapter tomorrow but it'll be a wee bit before it goes up. Look out for it anyway. Chapter 14 : "Power snatchers attack and final bout". We're near the end here minna please R+R. Thanx
