Chapter nine: sign me up!

Sakura smirked as she got into a fighting stance, the Kata that she had
learnt was a particularly hard and complex one, she watched herself in the
mirror for a second before she started out slowly. Moving with a sense of
not being there, Sakura twisted and pushed her hands out in front of her in
an upside down butterfly. This Kata, Xiaolang had told her was to strengthen
her magical ability and to enhance her sense of what was going on around
her. Sakura just thought it was a pretty good way to start a excruciating training session.

Xiaolang walked into his class room/training room and smiled as he saw
Sakura there practicing her Kata. Shrugging off his bag and pulling off his
shoes Xiaolang went over to her, concentrating on his aura and then on
Sakuraâ€â"¢s, bringing himself to be in tune with her. He started out and
continued where Sakura was, both moving in time together.
Sakura smiled slightly as she felt Xiaolang's aura and then decided to pick
up her pace.

By now a large crowd had gathered to watch the two young people practice
their Kata, an exact replica of the other. Tomoyo and Mei Lin grinned at each other.

“Sakuraâ€â"&# 162;s learnt a lot hasnâ€â"¢t she?â€Â Tomoyo said in a hushed whisper, Mei Lin
nodded her head.
“Definitely, and you can tell they have spent a long time training together,
look at how perfected their moves are, and the way they are stretching out
their magic.â€Â
“Stretching out their magic?â€Â Tomoyo asked confused. Mei Lin smirked
“Itâ€â"¢s a kind of warm up for their magic, without blasting at people, itâ€â"¢s a
more calm and controlled way of doing it. It also helps them master any
magic that they have been fighting against inside them, if you know what I
mean.â€Â Tomoyo nodded her head and continued to watch the two martial
artists.

Sakura was slightly perspiring and put on an extra burst of speed, Xiaolang
copied everything she did, not missing a beat, and it was frustrating her a
little that she couldnâ€â"¢t make him falter. Thinking that she could confuse
him Sakura changed Kata movements and began to do a more stylish kind of
dancing, Xiaolang grinned at Sakuraâ€â"¢s attempt and continued to copy her
movements. Move for move they continued both seating profusely by now, but
neither giving up.

Mei Lin laughed as they both picked up pace.
“Looks like a semi battleâ€Â she said nudging Tomoyo out of her awe stricken
state.
“I wonder who will win?â€Â Tomoyo then turned as she watched a group of blues
come to join them. They all gasped and started whispering while Mei Lin and
Tomoyo laughed.
“By the time there finished we wont be able to have a lesson.â€Â There were a
few hushed whoops of joy and a small amount of disgruntled remarks but no
one went to go and break up the two silent people fighting over who was
better at Kata.

Xiaolang stopped the moment he felt his mother approaching and Sakura cried
out for joy, she had won their battle and was grinning like an idiot. She
ran over to Xiaolang and clomped him on the shoulder.
“I winâ€Â she said still grinning and pumped up from the taxing Kata
movements. That was when she noticed the people watching near the door and
turned a slight shade of crimson (not that you could see it because her.
cheeks were already red from the exertion). Xiaolang chuckled.
“Small things amuse small mindsâ€Â he muttered and moved quickly out of the
way so as not to be hit by Sakuraâ€â"¢s uppercut that was headed for his head.
He glared at the people at the door.
“And what do you think your doing? Shouldnâ€â"¢t you all be warming up?â€Â He
asked raising an eyebrow. There were a few muffled groans but everyone
quickly went to do what they were supposed to not wanting to feel Xiaolangâ€â"¢s
unmerciful wrath.

Sakura and Tomoyo faced off, both grinning at each other.
“So tell me, what happened?â€Â She asked as she launched at her sparing
partner. Sakura dodged the attack and shrugged as she went for the attack.
“Nothing much, just the usual, training.â€Â She grinned as Tomoyo made a face.
“Thought so, so did anything exciting happen?â€Â Sakura ducked under Tomoyoâ€â"¢s
round house kick and delivered a swift sweep that made Tomoyo fall on her
butt. Laughing out loud Tomoyo grabbed Sakuraâ€â"¢s hand and pulled herself up.
“Well there was this one instance when a weird guy came and attacked us. But
that was all, everything else was normal, well as normal as it can get.â€Â She
stated and then decided to try out her new style of fighting she had been
taught over the months spent with Xiaolang. Tomoyo gasped and fell on the
defensive side trying to block Sakura's hard and fast blows.

~*~

Xiaolang stopped Mei Lin from pummeling her opponent and turned her around
to where Sakura and Tomoyo were fighting,
“Go and help out Tomoyo, I want to see if Sakura can stop a double team
attack.â€Â Xiaolang said while smirking. Mei Lin grinned.
“Iâ€â"¢d be happy to obligeâ€Â and with that Mei Lin ran to the other side of
the room to join in the fray.

~*~

Sakuraâ€â"¢s eyes widened as Mei Lin joined in, Sakura double kicked both of her
opponents back a little way giving her time to glare at Xiaolang who smiled
sweetly back at her. Shaking her head Sakura turned back to her two
opponents. Both lunged at the same time, Sakura dodged Tomoyoâ€â"¢s right hook
while blocking Mei Linâ€â"¢s kick to her mid drift. All girls continued this for
sometime until Sakura again got the upper hand. Training with Xiaolang had
given her endurance, which was what the other two lacked. But before she
could get too much on an upper hand another student joined in, all attacking
her. Sighing Sakura rolled her eyes and attacked on full force. She had
built up her body so much that she didnâ€â"¢t tire after only twenty minutes of
fighting like the other students, she could go on for hours which was what
Xiaolang had MADE her do.

The other student launched himself at Sakura and kneed her in the gut and
then swept her feet from under her. Sakura blocked out the pain and rolled
away from all three fighters and jumped to her feet smirking, â€Ëœthis guy is
goodâ€â"¢ and so saying the boy flipped over behind her and went to kick at
Sakuraâ€â"¢s head but only hit air, Sakura smirked as she tapped the boy on the
shoulder and then punched him in the nose. That would make his eyes blurry
for a while so he couldnâ€â"¢t fight that well. Sakura then turned to Tomoyo and
Mei Lin who were both grinning at her. Sakura looked on confused and it
clicked, just a second before the punch connected with her jaw. â€ËœXiaolangâ€â"¢
cart wheeling with no hands Sakura got into a fighting stance low to the
ground.

Xiaolang grinned at her and stood up to clap his hands.
“Well done Sakura,â€Â he stated before turning back to the rest of the class.
“Now, the tournament against the other schools, there will be a sign up
sheet for single fighting and group fighting, I suggest that only those who
believe that they have a chance of getting through round one sign up, also
there will be magical fighting.â€Â Xiaolang took a breath and looked at
Sakura. “Any extra training that you think you might require come here after
dinner and I will be here, mind this though, if you decide to enter I will
train you harder then the others.â€Â Most of the class decided not to sign up,
Tomoyo, Mei Lin, the boy who had fought against Sakura (Sasha), and Sakura
all joined up.

~*~

Sakura, Mei Lin and Tomoyo all went back to their dorm because Tomoyo wanted
to make them all new fighting clothes for the tournament so they were
getting their measurements taken. Sakura smiled as they walked into their
dorm. â€ËœI hope I get to fight against Xiaolangâ€Â¦ and kick his buttâ€â"¢, smiling
brightly at the prospect of doing that Sakura walked into the dorm ready for
the long and grueling task of standing up for hours so that Tomoyo could
measure her.
