Hello people! This is my first CardCaptor Sakura story so please review and tell me what you think. Please, no flames. As you can see, the title says '1: Cruel and Heartless'. I only put in the '1' in it because I am doing my CardCaptor Sakura stories in an order. Hope you don't mind!

DISCLAIMER: Nothing of CardCaptor Sakura is mine. Nothing...but I wished. Oh well. Can't have everything. The only thing that belongs to me are the characters 'Maureena Saki' and 'Ogano Saki'.


Chapter 1: New Student

.:Few Weeks Ago:.

While Sakura was capturing the Fight card, someone, wearing a cloak with a hood concealing the head watched her. "Humph. Don't know martial arts huh? So weak..."

.:Kinomoto Residence:.

"Sakura!" Fujitaka called from downstairs, "Breakfast is ready!"

"Coming!" Sakura called back from her room.

Sakura grabbed her bag and her hat and ran downstairs.

"Good morning!" Sakura's normal cheery voice greeted.

"Good morning," Fujitaka greeted back.

Sakura sat down where she usually sat, looked to a photo and said, "Good morning, mum!"

The photo of Nadeshiko smiled back at Sakura. The smile seemed to say 'Good morning my little flower'.

Fujitaka settled down Sakura's breakfast in front of her. Sakura picked up her chopsticks when she realised...

"Good morning, Touya," she greeted yet again.

Touya, Sakura's brother was sitting opposite of her. He was drinking from his mug.

Sakura growled softly. "I said 'good morning'!" Sakura's voice was getting a little louder.

"Uh-oh," was all Touya said, his voice slightly muffled because his mug was still in front of his mouth. Putting down his mug, he continued in a teasing tone. "I'd better be careful. The monster is getting angry." He ended his sentence with a cheeky grin.

Angry veins appeared on Sakura's head as she began to growl louder. Then, through gritted teeth, she said, "I. Am. Not. A. Monster!"

"What are you two arguing about?" asked Fujitaka as he sat down besides Sakura.

"Nothing!" Sakura said.

They put their hands together and said in unison, "Itadakimasu!"*

.:On The Way to School:.

Sakura was rollerblading to school alongside her barbaric brother, and her crush, Yukito Tsukishiro.

"Sakura stop following us…" commented Touya.

Sakura snapped from her daze and looked at her brother who had stopped in front of her.

"What?" asked Sakura.

"I said, 'stop following us'," repeated Touya.

"Uuh…" Sakura looked around her and when she looked behind her, she saw her school. Sakura had been staring at Yukito the whole time that she did not notice she had skated past her own school.

Sakura felt her face turn scarlet as she skated off back towards her school and shouting back, "Sorry!"

Touya looked back with a frown, while Yukito smiled in amusement as they watched Sakura skate away in embarrassment.

Sakura entered her classroom. "Good morning!" she called out cheerfully.

"Good morning!" Sakura heard her other classmates respond.

The cheery little blossom walked over to her seat, meeting eyes with her best friend.

"Good morning, Tomoyo-chan," she greeted.

"Good morning, Sakura-chan," Tomoyo replied with a gentle smile as Sakura sat down.

When the classroom door opened, Syaoran and Meiling walked in and they too, took their seats. Soon, the homeroom teacher, Tereda-sensei entered the classroom to start homeroom.

After taking attendance, Tereda-sensei made an announcement. "Today, we have a new student once again," he said.

The whole class began to murmur softly.

"Another new student?" Sakura asked herself.

"It is really rare to have new students of what feels like every week," commented Tomoyo.

"Meiling-chan just came here a few weeks ago and now…" Sakura was unable to finish for the new student had walked into class and was standing up front.

As Tereda-sensei was writing the new student's name on the blackboard, Sakura observed the boy. He was tall—taller than Syaoran and probably a centimetre taller than Yamazaki Takashi. He had black hair and brown eyes and he wore a frown that put everyone in an uncomfortable position.

Tereda-sensei had finished writing down the name.

"This is Miyazawa Kaemon," he began. "He came from Australia so please have patience if he is unable to understand our language."

Then…a voice unknown spoke up.

"There is no need for trouble. I know the Japanese language very well. Do not think I am stupid 'cause I am not."

Everyone stared at Kaemon in dismay, especially Tereda-sensei. Kaemon had spoken so rudely, and somehow caused a fearful atmosphere in the classroom, instead of an angry one.

Tereda-sensei cleared his throat and continued as though Kaemon said nothing. "Uh…eeto°…th–there's a seat in front of Daidouji-san. Y-you can sit there."

Kaemon walked towards his new desk. As he did, everyone's eyes were still watching him.


*Itadakimasu means 'It's time to eat'.

°Eeto means 'Um'.
