Welcome! *cue ominous lightning and thunder* BWAHAHAHA! Just kidding.
Er... Hi! So since I absolutely adore CCS and I have started to absolutely adore GA, I was like, LET'S WRITE A CROSSOVER! WOOT! I NEED CHAPTER 152 OF GA BTW! I had total 'AWW!' moments in the recent chapters.
Who knew Natsume was so freaking romantic? I sure didn't! Dammit, I want someone like that for me! D:
Sorry this is what happened to me: party + lots of sweets and soda + random plot bunnies + ME = Hyper, sugar and writing craze for the entire night.
Anyway, I've seriously wanted to write a cross for these two for a while. ^.^
Disclaimer: I don't own Cardcaptor Sakura or Gakuen Alice. I would be filthy stinkin rich, and I'm totally NOT. Sigh... The wonders of being broke.
Summary: Sakura Kinomoto was accidentally spotted by Alice Academy officials while she was training. Suddenly brought to the world of Alices, she finds a familiar face. But with all the troubles within Academy walls, how will this adventure possibly turn out?
Couples: Sakura/Syaoran, Mikan/Natsume, Eriol/Tomoyo, Hotaru/Ruka
Enjoy!

"Fiery!" Sakura shouted as she faced off against her Fight card. Swinging her staff, she leaped back as a stream of fire flew from the staff to the female fighter. Swiftly dodging, the card jumped into the air and pulled out a katana. The auburn haired girl summoned her own sword and blocked.
At first, Fight easily overpowered her master, but now, Sakura trained hard with her and developed her skills. They almost always end in a draw. They sparred for a little bit longer, and then when they both were at their limits, they both stopped. Fight bowed respectfully to her master then turned back into her card form.
Sakura usually practiced in the park, which had really thick forests so no one would venture in too deep. It was safe practice her magic training that Kero forced her to do. Sighing, she leaned against a nearby tree trunk that she didn't destroyed yet. Looking around the clearing, there were scorch marks, slashes, ice, uneven elevated earth, and basically it was a site of destruction.
Syaoran had been her training partner for two years until suddenly he was forced to leave last year for some kind of Li Clan issue. He convinced the Li Elders that even though he was not able to gather the Clow Cards, it was his responsibility to watch over the Cards Mistress. So for the past couple years, he would make sure she could defend herself, with and without magic, and they dated while he was here too.
Her heart throbbed every time she thought about her boyfriend. Sakura wrapped her hand tightly around the locket he gave her before he left.
"Whenever you miss me, hang on to this and remember that I am always thinking of you." Syaoran's amber eyes were gentle as he handed over a small locket. It had a simple gold chain and the charm was completely encrusted with white crystals. It was in a heart shape and it opened to show a picture of the two of them smiling at the camera.
"Hoe... Syaoran, it's beautiful!" Sakura covered her mouth with her hand, stunned that he would give her such a expensive looking gift. He gave her a smirk.
"Wait til it's around your neck. Can you hold up your hair for me?" She nodded and held her hair as he slipped the locket around her neck. The moment he clasped it, the charm glowed and the design was slightly changed. Instead of a completely white heart, it was covered with emeralds and at the sides were a small pair of diamond wings. "The charm was made by a previous clan head. It was given to his wife and every since then, it was passed onto the first born boy that would become the head." Syaoran looked a bit sheepish. "There's a tradition that if the male gives this to his chosen one, they'd be together forever. It's a bit chee-SY?"
Sakura tackled him to the ground. "This is the best present I've ever gotten from anyone. I don't care about how cheesy or unmanly it is for you, I love it so much!" She kissed him, and after he recovered from the shock, he eagerly responded. "Thank you Syaoran. I love you so much!"
"Aishiteru, koibito."
Sakura sighed. "Time to fix this place up I guess." She said to no one in particular. Standing up, she called out her staff and used Earthy and Wood to restore the grounds to its natural state. Sakura smiled at the clearing that looked the way it did before she and Fight destroyed it.
"Excuse me, I just saw what you did, and I can't help but feel that we could use someone like you at our school." A tall blonde man pranced up to her. He grabbed her hands and smiled. "I'm Narumi, but most of my students call me Naru-sensei! You have an interesting power over the Earth?" Sakura looked panicked, but covered up her emotions like Syaoran taught her to.
He didn't see my fight, so he doesn't know that I have multiple powers. Let's just go along with his story. "I didn't mean for anyone to see anything... What do you mean school?" Sakura was actually curious about that.
Narumi grinned and released a bit of his pheromones to test her. Sakura felt this odd pull to like him, but easily overcame it. What is he? The teacher smiled even wider. "I'm a teacher at Alice Academy. It's a school with children who have natural born talents. Most of them call me Naru-sensei! I know a boy who can control fire as well as a girl who can control ice, so your earth powers don't surprise me. Not to mention that you can fight against my pheromones, which means you have some level of nullification."
The card mistresses' eyes widened a little. Hoe... A school for natural born talents? It isn't magic, so if I choose to go, I'd have to pretend to have earth powers. It would be a new experience for me and I'm sure Otou-san will agree. Touya was off at college, so he doesn't get have a say in this.
"I'll be waiting for your response by tomorrow." He left the clearing, and Sakura summoned Fly and swiftly made her way back to her house. Landing herself in the backyard, she brushed off some dirt and entered through the back door.
"Otou-san tadaima!" Sakura walked to the kitchen and smiled at her father. He stood at the stove, carefully reading a recipe.
"Okaerinasai, Sakura." He looked back at her and she gave him a kiss on the cheek. She helped him out and prepared the table. By the time Sakura was done, Fujitaka was already bringing the food to the table. They smiled at each other and said. "Itadakimasu!"
Sakura started munching away and after a few bites, she brought up what had happened in the woods before. "Otou-san, can I go?"
The male smiled gently at her. "I don't see why not. I've heard of Gakuen Alice before. It's very prestigious and you'll get a very good education there. It's for geniuses of all ages. Since Tomoeda is such a small town, not many people have heard of Alices. Which is mostly why you haven't heard of this school before. You have my permission." Sakura grinned and finished up her dinner.
"Arigato Otou-san!" She raced up the stairs to tell Kero. "KERO-CHAN!" The small guardian was fast asleep in front of the TV. Sakura poked him, "Mou, Kero-chan... WAKE UP!" With a startled cry Kero leaped into the air.
Seeing only Sakura, he rubbed his eyes from sleep. "Sakura-chan! You didn't have to wake me up like that! Do you have any pudding?" Shaking her head no, he moaned. "I really want pudding!" Sakura frowned, then brightened up.
"I got an invitation to go to a school called Alice Academy!" At Kero's look of recognition at the name, she gave him a questioning glance. "Have you heard of it before?"
"Hai, Clow-sama had played a part in the beginning of Gakuen Alice. In fact, the school was made by a member of the Li Clan. As descendents of Clow-sama, some of them have sorcery, like that Gaki, and some have special abilities that don't pertain to any magic. It's just an ability they have. Well, one day, Clow-sama had donated a book called Alice in Wonderland to the vast library within the estate. One of the non-sorcery members stumbled across that book and fell in love with that story.
"Her name was Ayame Satou. She was inspired to start a special school for those who had the natural born powers. As a tribute to her favorite book, she called these powers Alices. Her best friend Himemiya, was her partner (she had the barrier alice) and they both drew out the plans for the layout of the entire school. Apparently Clow-sama had foreseen these events and assisted the two. He even gave Himemiya longevity so she could continue to watch over the school for a long time, until the moment when another person would inherit her status as the Middle School Principal.
"Ayame was the high school principal, already had the longevity alice, as well as an alice that was able to detect other alices. With Clow-sama's help, the school was built quite fast. They needed an Elementary School Principal, until Clow-sama had brought in a young man named Kuonji. Ayame trusted him completely, and allowed him to become the ESP. He was the one who developed the different ability classes, and he was in the one in charge of the Dangerous Ability class.
"In fact, many people, students and teachers alike, adored and trusted the ESP because he was kind, friendly, and a bit mischievous, but he knew when to be serious. He also made Dangerous Ability students perform missions, which Kuonji insisted that it was for the good of the Academy and it was, at first. That was until Ayame got married to a man named Satoshi Yukihara. Kuonji was mad with jealousy that the missions that had turned for the worst.
"Originally, the missions were just information gathering about organizations that wanted to take down the academy or to round up other Alices. However, he started ordering the deaths of the leaders of the organizations, and he became power hungry. Instead of using his clones to watch over the academy, he sent them out to influence the entire world. Ayame who trusted him wholeheartedly didn't suspect a thing, but Himemiya wasn't blinded. She knew all the horrible things that the ESP was doing.
"Most of the dangerous ability students back then were females. So to protect them, she created the Hana Hime Den. She would take in the girls and love them like they were her own children. Her barrier alice was so powerful that not even the ESP dared to enter and threaten her. Every day, she tried to convince Ayame that Kounji was evil, but she failed every time.
"Ayame died in a car accident when she was visiting her son and daughter in law, and Himemiya was never able to convince her. However, Ayame's great-grandson took over the role as the HSP. Last time I heard, the ESP and the HSP have had a shaky relationship." Kero finished with a loud sigh of relief. Sakura's eyes were big as she took in all the information.
"Hoe! Ne, Kero-chan, how do you know all this?"
"Clow-sama always watched over the academy. Ayame had assigned him as the head principal, so he had control over all aspects of the academy. Everyday, he would look into a portal and look at the events going on. Yue and I would just watch it with him. It's was like some crazy drama." He yawned and stretched his arms. "I'm going to sleep. Storytelling is tiring" Kero floated over to his little drawer and snuggled into his make shift bed.
Sakura smiled at her guardian and quickly got ready to sleep. The long day finally caught up to her as she jumped into bed. I wonder how life at the Alice Academy will be like. Are you proud of me Syaoran?
Sakura yawned and looked around her room. Kero was knocked out and there were sounds coming from downstairs which meant that her father was awake. She took a shower and changed into a shirt and jeans. Skipping down the stairs, she heard another voice that seemed familiar.
She raced into the living room to find Narumi and her father talking. "Naru-sensei? Otou-san?"
Fujitaka smiled gently at his daughter. "Sakura! I was just conversing about your new school. It sounds wonderful. I'm very happy you get to experience such a great place."
Narumi cheerfully waved and stood up. "Gomen for barging in, Fujitaka-san. Sakura-chan, I will allow two days to pack and say goodbye, but we'll have to leave immediately. School starts in a week and I want you to get comfortable with the area before classes start." He bowed to the two. "Sayonara minna-san!" He danced out the door.
Sakura gasped. "I have to say bye to Tomoyo-chan! And Rika, Naoko, Chiharu, and Yamazaki!"Otou-san, can we throw a party on the day after tomorrow? I want to spend today packing." Fujitaka agreed and thought it was a nice idea. Sakura grinned and started to call everyone up, telling them that she was throwing a party on the day after tomorrow. Everyone was going to be able to come. Sakura raced back upstairs and started packing as many things as she could.
She tossed in a bunch of clothes, toiletries, towels, various jewelry, the backpack she used for school, and other things that she thought would be needed. Wanting a few mementos, Sakura placed the outfit Tomoyo made for her when she fought against The Void card, a group picture of her and all her friends from school, picture of Syaoran and herself, a picture of her family, and one picture of her mother.
Sakura only filled one bag, but she had used Small to shrink everything. She was going to miss her friends, but it seemed like an exciting new adventure. It was weird to be somewhere that Tomoyo wasn't going to. They've always been at each other's sides.
Slipping on her skates, the emerald eyed girl shouted that she was leaving and swiftly left the house. She decided to go over to Tomoyo's house to tell her everything that had happened to her. Sakura reached her best friend's house in thirty minutes and greeted the guard at the door.
He already knew the young girl, so he opened the gates and allowed her to enter. "Welcome back Sakura-sama."
She skated up the long driveway and the butler already had the door open. "Hello, Sakura-sama. Tomoyo-sama is in her bedroom, I presume you know where it is?" The auburn haired girl slipped out of her skates and a maid picked it up for her.
"Hai! Arigato!" She ran up the grand staircase and found Tomoyo's door. Sakura knocked on it loudly. "Tomoyo-chan!" Immediately, the door opened and she was yanked into the room.
"Sakura-chan! I haven't seen you in a while!" Tomoyo walked over to her huge closet and pulled out a huge pile of clothes. "I made all of these for you!" She dropped the pile on her bed. "Please try them on."
The girl sweatdropped. "Ano... Tomoyo-chan, that isn't the reason why I came here." Her face turned somber. "I have to leave for a boarding school called Gakuen Alice in a few days." Tomoyo sighed sadly.
"Sakura-chan, as long as you're happy, I will also be happy. Please don't let us hold you back from fully enjoying your new adventure somewhere else. You'll keep in touch right? So that's all I need. I expect at least one letter per week okay?" Sakura's eyes teared up as her friend's selflessness.
"I'll miss you a ton! I promise to always keep in touch, no matter what." They hugged each other tightly. Tomoyo smiled sweetly and changed the subject.
"Have you gotten a letter from Li-kun?" The green eyed girl looked even more depressed. "I'm thinking that that's a no." Sakura collapsed onto one of the couches located nearby her.
"I just don't know why he can't answer my letters. I got one last month that said he was sorry his letters are very infrequent, but he's trying his best to get them to me." The girl paused for a bit. "But the weird thing was, it was on an enchanted piece of paper. When I put some magic into it, suddenly the one page letter turned into twenty. Each of them was dated months before I got the letter. I'm scared that there's something going on, and he can't get letters out easily." Sakura panicked. "What if someone's hurting him Tomoyo-chan? Maybe he's being held captive and is only allowed to send one letter every few months or something. But in the letters, Syaoran says that everything's fine and that he's learning a ton of new things. Why does he have to sneak out his letter then? It doesn't make sense at all!" Tomoyo rubbed soothing circles on the girl's back.
"Sakura-chan, maybe the place where he is has a strict mailing policy. Where did he say he was?"
The auburn haired female looked even more paranoid. "That's the thing! Syaoran's not telling me anything about where he is. I ask him every time I send a letter, but I don't get a reply to that question!"
Tomoyo sighed. "I'm sure he just doesn't want you to hunt him down, like you probably would. Li-kun just wants to keep you out of trouble. You know how protective he is of you." Sakura brightened up.
"You're right Tomoyo-chan! That makes perfect sense. Stupid overprotective jerk. I swear he's worse than Onii-chan sometimes!" Sakura went off on a rant, describing all the traits that the two share.
The purple haired girl smiled softly at her. If only I could go with her. "Sakura-chan, what do you know about Gakuen Alice?"
The other girl grinned. "According to Otou-san, it's a very prestigious place for geniuses. However, Naru-sensei says it's for children with a natural born talents. I'll get a good education there too. Now that I think about it, Naru-sensei said that he knew a boy that could control fire and a girl who could do the same except with ice. I wonder what other abilities people have there."
The two talked about various things until it turned dark. Tomoyo gave Sakura a ride because it was too late for her to skate home. As the girl stepped out of the limo, she said to Tomoyo. "Remember, my going away party is tomorrow! Sayonara Tomoyo-chan!" She waved goodbye and entered her house.
Since it was already really late, Sakura just went straight up to bed. Kero was playing video games again, and mumbled a distracted hi. She changed and just went to sleep.
"I can't believe you're leaving!" Chiharu sobbed and clung on to Sakura tightly. "I'm gonna miss you so much, you know? WAH!"
Rika looked really forlorn. "I'm sad you're leaving Sakura-chan. But I'm happy that you got into such a prestigious school! Keep in touch okay?"
Naoko smiled sadly. "You've having this big adventure without us! I can't believe it. I'm sad, but make sure you'll do your best. Especially in your studies, okay?"
Sakura smiled and nodded. "Of course!" Yamazaki grinned.
"Sakura-san, did you know at Gakuen Alice, there are many stories about a female ghost that haunts the grounds. Apparently she committed suicide when she found out she was pregnant. I heard that every new female student gets haunted by her for the entire school year." Chiharu released the card mistress and pulled out her mallet.
"STOP TELLING HER LIES, TAKASHI!" She then proceded to chase him around the backyard, while he continued telling stories as he ran. Tomoyo giggled and pointed her camera all around.
"Everyone is so lively today! It will be a good backdrop for my precious Sakura-chan! Hohohoho!" Sakura sweatdropped. Tomoyo-chan...
In the end, everyone said their goodbyes and promises to keep in touch. What will await Sakura at Gakuen Alice?
Err... Please Review! ^.^ Note in advance: I'm really crappy at updating. So... please forgive me if I don't update in a long time.
