"So Dad that's all."

"Whoa, you sure did a lot of things since I have left."

"Yes."

" And that's a sign that you are growing so I decided to brought you gift that every little warrior should have. And It will accompany you even when you'll grow older ."

A gift what gift. I wish it's a ..a. To be honest nothing comes to my mind.

"What's it Dad. What's it?"

"I'll be back in a minute."

Were is he going? What about my present. And nobody from you out there reading dares to call me greedy we all do like presents.

A knock was heard in the door.

Dai rushed to open and then he stayed to the door looking amazed at something or somebody.

I stood up and went till there. Outside the door was a dressed up Xun-Ai

Time for a physical description I guess.

Okay let's she has light brown hair.

Dark brown eyes.

A happy cute face (preety like Xiao Qiao's).

She was wearing… (her clothing is from dynasty warriors 6 Empire Edit mode Summer top Red, Fighter skirt Red and Perfect boots blue.).

Brother was looking at her with astonishment. What an idiot. I would understand her if she was breaking p her with him one of this days.

"Can I pass."

"Uh… Yeah I mean."

"Do not get him wrong. In the tribe where he grew up that stands for "I'm very glad to see you.!" I said with a both angelic and devilish grin.

I'm a kid I'm meant to be like that.

Brother did not understand that immediately because he was staring at Xun-Ai but once he did he whaled me on the head.

"Hi Ryu I see you have not changed since our last meeting."

"Yeah I know so,. but Dad says I've grown up a lot."

"This is your present son" said coming in from the courtyard followed by …

"THAT'S THE CUTEST PONY I'VE EVER SEEN."

And It was true. The little shining white creature with the white tail and his cute, cute eyes, I want to hug it and squeeze it. Though I do not think it would appreciate it that much.

"Dad that's the greatest present I've ever received."

"Yes son but by accepting her you become an apprentice warrior and from tomorrow I will teach you the art of war.

The art of war. That may be hard, but still who said everything is easy on this life(sighs). It may be interesting though.

"You did not tell me your father was back." said Xun- Ai

"He came suddenly just a while ago."

Ai seemed to ignore him.

"Mr. Yuy…"

"Please child lose formality with me you are like my daughter to me."

Said Dad as he gave her a hug.

Yeah I know dad really loves Xun-Ai. Considering that he knew her since she was a little child it wasn't strange.

"Yes you are like a member of our family and our only hope of making my brother a civilized person. Ah and of course…

Xun-Ai chuckled.

"If you do not shut up for the rest of the evening you are going to sleep with the horse." Whispered my brother to my ear.

"…You may are hungry, why don't we go all eat like a happy family" I finished my sentence.

Few. Err not that I fear my brother he is all bark and no bite but I am not so sure I want to test his patience out.

Tomorrow morning

"Come on Son one more turn and you did it"

Hearing that all the paining on my legs disappeared (unfortunately only temporarily) and I consecrated only in reaching my destination speeding up as time was elapsing.

Dad made me to run one hundred times around the house for start. And I thought training may was interesting. Oh well, no pain no gain or I guess so at least.

Two hours and a lot of hard training later

"Well Ryu I have to say that you were very good with that staff over there. Where did you learnt these moves y the way?"

"I… I was watching bro…brother training ahh…ahh and …I've been copying him."

"Hmm preety impressive although you brother is much more skilled with katanas rather than spears and staffs this was a good start. Wanna some lunch, you deserved it after all this hard training. Don't you think so!"

"Err Ryu where are you? Son?"

Okay I admit one moment after hearing the word lunch I was already in the house sitting on kitchen table. What after all this hard work I've at least the right of being hungry.

"Hey little brother how was training?"

I summarized my last three hours in hell.

"Dad is not going easy on you like he did to me."

"That's because he ca see my potentional something you lacked and lack." I said after getting in security distance from brother.

"Hey you little squirt sometimes you are eve nastier than devil and nobody can really get mad at you with this cute angelic face."

"That's cause I'm a kid"

"And as you have such a cute face I would love to see it laughing so why not tickle you for a while."

And he chased after me

"Who's being nasty now?" I asked running for my live.

Some time passed and dad was training me every day. I learnt how to battle on foot and how on horseback. Oh and I named my Horse. I named her Breeze. Because she is fast but runs lightly as a morning breeze. Mom was also training me in use of daggers, ekneks(small Chinese daggers looking like double edged arrows, they were made specially for stealth kills as they easily could cut somebody's veins), poisons and made me read many books about nature poisons and potions..

I also heard them speaking about finding me a strategy tutor.

OH what did I ever did to them.
