Please tell me what you think of this and whether or not you think it's good
enough to continue. It'll probably be slightly similar to Ruri's fic "Wait"
at several parts.

A.N. Well I hope you like this teaser. It's my first CCS fic and this is
just a teaser of sorts. This is somewhat like an alternate ending to the
anime series. You'll understand where it deviates from the original once I
get further into the story. Please read and tell me if I should continue or
not.
A somber young man stood in an austere room awaiting the judgement of the
group of hooded figures before him. His head was downcast, causing his brown
locks to brush against his amber eyes. His clothes were tattered with
several rips and tears cutting their way across the course green cloth.
Traces of dried blood stained the fabric in more than one place, but the
most noticeable patch of blood was a still fresh stain on the sleeve. The
boy clutched the stain tightly willing the pain of the wound under the
sleeve out of his mind, concentrating solely on the group before him.
Oblivious to the boy, the group of five hooded figures conversed amongst
themselves. Before them sat green stone glowing with some mysterious inner
light. Touching the stone lightly the figure at the center of the group
closed her eyes and concentrated. Feeling the authenticity of the magic the
stone before her was emitting she smiled and passed the stone to the robed
figure to the right of her. The figure received the stone and nodded,
feeling the magical energy within the stone and passed the stone on to the
person next to him. The stone was passed around till all the figures had
examined it. Slowly the central figure rose out of her seat and addressed
the boy, "Li Xiao Lang, you have completed your training and succeeded in
the task set before you, thus earning the right to ascend to your rightful
place as the leader of the Li Clan. Do you accept the position and
responsibility that is your right by birth and by skill?"
"I accept the position and responsibility granted to me by the Council of
Elders." Xiao Lang answered firmly raising his head to look directly at the
figure.
"Come forward then to receive the symbol of your rank and the object of your
quest." The figure commanded removing a silver pendant from around her neck
with one hand and picking up the green stone with the other. Xiao Lang
obeyed and walked to stand before her solemnly. Placing the pendant around
the boy's neck the figure declared in a strong voice as the other figures
joined her, "We the Council of Elders declare that you, Li Xiao Lang, have
earned the undisputed right to ascend your position as the leader of the Li
Clan. Let this pendant, worn by the great Clow Reed himself, be the symbol
of your power and let this stone, the object of your quest, be a symbol of
your efforts. As the new leader of the Li Clan you are granted one wish from
the Council of Elders before taking up your position. What is it that you
wish for?"
Finally the moment that he had worked so hard and long for had arrived. Xiao
Lang could now ask of the council the one thing that he had wanted for eight
years. In a strong clear voice he answered, "I wish to return to Japan."
Startled gasps came from a few of the robed figures. The central figure
silenced them with a wave of her hand before addressing the boy again but
this time in an amused tone, "Why do you wish to return to Japan. There are
many things that await you as the head of the Li Clan. Do you not think it
is inappropriate to ask for a vacation so soon."
"I have some unfinished business in Japan."
"Is that your only wish?"
"Yes." Xiao Lang replied firmly. He had wanted this for so long. He was not
going to back down now that he had finally reached his goal. For the past
eight years he had been training for this purpose alone. He had no wish to
ascend to the position granted him. He had only wished to return to Japan
and take care of his unfinished business, but he could not do it until he
had finished his training and successfully completed the task set before
him. In the months he toiled searching for the object of his quest he never
despaired because had to reach his goal.
"Very well then. You have one year to complete your task. Use that year
wisely my dear grandson." The figure sighed before exiting the room.
