The Beginning
Beep, Beep, Beep . . .
"Sakura, your gonna be late. And for your first day of sixth grade, do you?" a small, yellow push toy with white wings asked the sleeping figure on the bed. The girl, who he was talking to was still fast asleep.
"Hoe? Kero-chan, what are you doing?" the girl called Sakura asked the push toy, Kero-chan.
"Your gonna be late to breakfast and school. You'll not make it on time." Kero-chan told her.
Konnichiwa, my name is Kinomoto Sakura. I have emerald eyes with auburn hair. I'm in the sixth grade. I found this book called The Clow. In the book were a group of cards. On the top was card named Windy. I said the name and all the cards except Windy flew out of my house and all over Tomoeda, Japan. Kero came out of the book and has helped me with the collection of the cards. I have collected all of the cards and I started only two years ago. Kero is short for Kerberos, it takes too long to say. I live with my father and my brother, Touya. My mother died when I was young.
"Hey the kaijuu is up and creating disaster already." a boy with brown hair and eyes said to Sakura. He looked to be in High School. His hair was combed over his head and partly over his eyes. He was at the table while another guy was at the sink, he looked to be the father. He looked a lot like Sakura except for the eyes and glasses. His eyes were a soft, kind brown.
"ONII-CHAN!!!!" Sakura yelled at the young man at the table.
"Be nice to her Touya, it's her first day of sixth grade. Ohayuo Sakura." her father told his children.
Sakura stuck her tongue at the young man named Touya and smiled at her father. Her family didn't know about her job as Mistress of the cards or so did she think. The only people that know about her job is Tomoyo Daidouji and Eriol Hiiragizawa. Apparently, Tomoyo's mother and Sakura's mother were cousins. Sakura's father was a rucky teacher. Her mother got married at sixteen. Tomoyo has long brown hair, brown eyes, and not to mention that they have been friends and in the same classes since third grade. She loves to record Sakura a lot. Tomoyo is in the choir and Sakura is in the cheerleading club.
A girl with long brown hair was looking out the window of the airplane. Her two other companions were very silent. The next to her was in the sixth grade. He had a little color of brown hair. His eyes were in between auburn and gold. The guy next to the aisle, was an elder man. His hair and eyes were a silver that reminded you of snow.
"What's up? Your too quiet for this flight. Are you mad, Syaoran?" the girl asked her friends.
"Just thinking, Mistress Sarah." the elder man told the girl named Sarah.
"I'm not mad. Just want to get the cards and go home. Who ever this card captor is, they are just a pain." the boy called Syaoran answered Sarah with a bored expression on his small, stubborn face.
"I know; I don't want to baby-sit a stubborn, no fun sixth grader like you." Sarah teased him.
"Hmph" Syaoran said. He couldn't help, but smile and give her a little laugh. They haven't know each other very long enough to understand each other. But Sarah was different because she could tease him and know what he was going through. It confused him even more because she looked to be an adult, but she was in her last year of high school. And she looked to be the only child of her family. Not to mention, she knew about magic and understands it.
"Well, then to answer you questions. I'm not the only child in my family. I have three sisters and a brother. I understand magic because I have a great deal of it. The only reason is that you can't sense it is because of my crystal…." she placed two fingers on a crystal necklace tightly around her neck. "… hides my powers, so that someone else like you can't sense or follow my aura, unless you have a crystal. Here's yours." she gave him a necklace of a clear blue crystal.
"I don't want to wear a necklace." he teased back. He knew that if he needed her, then he would be able to find her.
"It senses emotion. So it will automatically hide it. Don't worry, no one, unless you are very powerful, can sense magic crystals. The only people that can see and sense magic crystals are my siblings and my friends. They got magic when my sisters, brother, and me made contact with them with our magic. Their friends don't have a lot as my twin sister and my friends. That's probably because we have the same friends."
"Hai"
"Thank you for choosing and flying with Jetblue. We hope that you enjoyed your flight from Hong Kong, China to Tomeada, Japan." a female voice announced over the intercome their arrival in Tomeada.
"Let's go, Master Syaoran and Mistress Sarah." Wei, the elder man, called to them with a kind hearted smile that light up his eyes.
"Hai!" they both chorused.
"Konnichwa Tomoyo!" Sakura called out to her friend as they walked to class together.
"Konnichwa Sakura! Guess what! We have a new student who is from Hong Kong. He has a sister and a butler with him. Apparently, he is here for a heirloom from his ancestor." Tomoyo called back at Sakura.
"I wonder what he is like? Maybe he is nice or something." a sweet male voice said from behind Tomoyo. Sakura saw him approach them, but decided to keep it a sercet.
"Ara, oi Eriol-kun!" Tomoyo said with a small hint of blush.
"Konnichwa Eriol. So what have you heard about him?" Sakura said as she tried to refrain from laughing as she saw both Tomoyo and Eriol blushing. But before he could respond, the bell rang.
"Ohayuo class. Like you have heard, we have new student." the sensei said as the class once again turned into a loud conversation. Then a knock came out of the hallway and surprisingly the class quieted down again. Then two people came in; one was short with messed, uncombed aurburn hair. His companion was much more beautiful. Her long brown hair was pulled up in a ponytail. She had gorgous blue eyes. She said something to him and the sensei. She, then, turned and left the room. Sakura was at the window and saw her in a light blue jacket and a mini skirt with shorts underneath, which represents the high school that Touya goes to.
"Welcome to Tomeada, Li Syaoran." the sensei told him. "Class, this is Li Syaoran. He comes from Hong Kong. The young lady that came in was his guardian, not his sister like you all have heard. Li, why don't you introduce yourself?"
"Konnichwa. My name is Li Syaoran. Like sensei Kyoko said I'm from Hong Kong. My guardian is from the States. She speaks Japanese and Chinese very fluently. My mother that I should see the neighboring country. So she hired an martial artist and protector to watch out for me. I have a personal butler that came with me. We arrived this morning. I have four annoying sisters, and my father died was killed a year ago from a car accident. Oh and my protector is a singer." Syaoran told his fellow classmates. Then he felt a magical pole to Sakura. He had sensed the cards and Kero in her bag.
"Arigatou Li. Please take a seat behind Kinomoto and next to Hiiragizawa."
"Konnichwa. I'm Sarah Lynn Porter. I'm from the States, but have studied Japanese and Chinese. I'm the guardian of the 6th grader. I love to read, write, and also sing. I hope I can be good friends with all of you." Sarah said to her classmates.
Then Touya raised his hand and asked, "How old are you?"
"Well, I'm 18."
"Arigatou Miss Porter." McKenzie sensei told Sarah. "Now, will you take a seat next to Mr. Kinomoto? He is the one that asked you the question about your age."
Sarah walked to the back of the class. As she approached him, they both sensed magic.
"So you the witch my dreamed warned me of." Touya said silently.
"And you must be the master's brother." Sarah returned with a kind smile.
"How do you know that! My sister doesn't even know that I know about her job."
"Well, then, your one stubborn girl." a new voice came into the conversation. Sarah turned around and saw a young man with snow grey hair and crystal blue eyes.
"Who are you?" Sarah asked the new comer.
"My name is Yuki. But you might sense some thing else. Well, I'm the guardian of the new master of me and the cards. My name is really Yue. But you can call me Yuki." Yuki replied with a heart-melting smile.
Later at lunch, Sarah was in the tree next to the elementary school where Syaoran went to. When she got up there, she then sent a text message to her best friend, Bronwyn. Bronwyn, like Sarah, had long brown hair. Sarah was tall and very fexible. Sarah and Bronwyn were like twin sisters, except for the eyes. Her eyes were a misty brown, while Sarah's were a misty blue. When Sarah was in the 8th grade back in the States, her parents and sister were killed in a ten carpile up with them in the second to the middle. They were going to her favorite place in the States, Alaska. Sarah would have been with them if it wasn't for school. Her brother was away in Germany visiting her cousins. She was staying with Bronwyn when a neighbor came and told her that her parents and sister were killed. She didn't shed a single tear at this frightening news. She lost a lot of her family, and she was only trembling. When Bronwyn's parents offered to adapt her, she didn't refused. She loved Bronwyn's family like her own. Her brother signed the papers, but her aunt disagreed to this. Sarah told her that she would still talk and visit them; she just didn't want to leave her friends. So she agreed to this and let Sarah stay with Bronwyn and her family.
'Hey! What's up? How's everyone? I miss you a lot!! Write back soon. - Sarah' She wrote on the phone with her quick, typing fingers.
As she waited for the text message, she looked down at the elementary. She smiled as she saw Syaoran, but that when she saw a girl that looked very frighten, her smile turned into a frown- straight line; she hated frightened girls because it reminded her of her sisters and cousins.
"I don't know what you mean!" was the girls reply to whatever Syaoran asked her. He was about to hit her or fight her, Sarah didn't know what. As she got ready to jump down and stop him, she saw Touya standing in front of his sister. Syaoran and Touya were about to fight when she jumped down and stood in front of Syaoran. She heard him mutter under his breath for stepping in at her.
"Why are you protecting that gaki?" Touya exclaimed at her, quite surprised.
"I'm protecting him because I'm in charge of him, dumby." Sarah told him with a long side glance at Syaoran.
Touya came up to her to hit her, but she blocked it. As she was going to hit back when a girl, with long brown braided hair, stopped them.
"STOP!!!" the girl cried. Yuki and the frighten girl were right behind her. "Sakura was just startled and Li-san was not asking very nicely."
"Tomoyo?!" the girl, Sakura, said a little embrassed.
"Gomen nasi Mistress Sakura for the rudness of Syaoran to you. For you are the card mistress. I was hoping that he wouldn't be so cruel to you." Sarah told the group, letting them know she knew about the cards and the magic of the Master/ Mistress of the Cards. And of course, every one- except Touya -who just glared at her- gasped or grunted at her. "Syaoran, when we get home, your in huge trouble." she instructed him in Chinese and tried to hold in a laugh when she looked at him, who went completely white.
"Daijoubo desu. Onegai call me Sakura." Sakura said with a small smile. "Demo I don't know your name."
"I'm Sarah Porter, demo you can call me Sarah" she replied quite nicely.
"Hajimemashite Sarah." Tomoyo and Sakura said to Sarah.
Meanwhile, on the flight, Bronwyn and a strange boy, with light brown hair and dark brown eyes, were talking about their surprise to their friend.
"Alex, are you mad that you had to leave the group behind?" Bronwyn asked, with a small hint of a surprise, to the boy next to her.
"Yeah, but we have to watch and take care of Sarah. So, hopefully, they will be here in a month." Alex returned sounding divested with that remark.
"Hey guys!" a new voice came into the conversation.
Alex turned around to see the exact people that he thought that he was going to miss. Taylor Trujillo was a half a inch shorter then Alex's 6'6" height. She had long, dark brown hair. Her eyes were a brown color with an evil glint, just like Sarah when she had a plan in mind. Her, and Sarah's, smile could carry a kind smile- but they only showed it to little kids and when someone was hurt and evil smile that showed that they had a plan in mind for them or someone else. But, then again, that's who Taylor and Sarah were in middle school. In high school, they were so into their studies that they forgot that they treated their friends like that. With Sarah studying Japanese and Chinese and Taylor with Spanish. The group of friends knew that they still remembered things that were important to them, like their friends. Once during middle school, Alex told Bronwyn and Sarah that he liked Taylor and, of course, they kept it a secret. But Taylor found out that there was a secret and she wanted to know what it was. So, after torture, torture, they told her and she kept denying it. But when Valentine's Day rolled around, Sarah and Michael, her best friend/brother, came up with a plan to get Taylor to admit that she, too, had a crush and it ended up being Alex. So when they figured out that it was Michael's and Sarah's plan, of course they killed them but soon they forgave them because they both knew that Sarah was use to it by her real brother, and they got tired of ignoring them. That was four years ago.
When Sarah's parents and sister died, her magic appeared; her life was totally and seriously different in high school. After a phone call from a neighbor and a member of the local police department was notified; she locked herself in her room. It took both Alex and Bronwyn to get her out of her room. She would have gone to live with her brother, but he was with her cousins, James and Becky, and her fiancée in Germany. Her brother, Nate, was her legal guardian, when she was younger- she dreamed of living with him- but her friends were more important now. So Bronwyn's parents and Nate signed the adoption papers, but if anything happened to Bronwyn's parents, Bronwyn, Sarah, and the younger kids would go to Nate's care.
"What are you doing here, guys?! I thought that you weren't coming up til a month later." Alex was in complete shock but managed to ask.
"We decided to come up early." a girl with long auburn hair told him. Her eyes were a deep blue. Kit Johnson was the most calm person in the group. Next to her was Michael Duckworth. A tall man with very curly brown hair. His eyes were the only hard brown in the group. He could be the craziest in the group, but when it came to Sarah, he was more stubborn than a brick.
"We told Bronwyn to tell you that we were coming up earlier then planed." Michael said as he eyed the red-faced Bronwyn. She tried so hard to keep from laughing. When they decided to come up earlier then planned, she wanted so bad to torture Alex.
"Bronwyn, your so dead when we land." Alex said after the group left to go back to their seats.
"I forgot to remind you."
"No, you just wanted to torture me, since Sarah wasn't here."
"Yeah." Bronwyn said as her phone went off. She, and Alex, looked at the screen. She had just gotten a text message from someone. When she opened it up, the message said: Hey! What's up? How's everyone? I miss you a lot!! Write back soon.- Sarah.
'Oh nothings up. Everyone is fine, but we have a surprise for you. We miss you a lot too! What time do you get of school? And what is the address of your house? - Bronwyn.' She wrote back to her adopted twin.
Syaoran had just gotten out of school when Sarah had got her bike out of the bike rake.
"Why did you stop me?!" he shouted when they were out of sight of the schools.
"I stopped you because you terrified Sakura. And unfortunate for me, her brother is in all of my classes. If you make an enemy with him, it hurts me worse. HE can stare at you all he wants, but I handle all of the physical fights, got it." She replied calmly without yelling. It came from handling her brothers, she guessed. Then her cell phone vibrated in her tight fitting jacket. She pulled it out and looked at the message from Bronwyn. She quickly replied and sent the message to Bronwyn. "Syaoran, just because you learned martial arts, does not mean you can use it to scare other people. It's a self-defense item for that ONLY reason."
"Fine, whatever." he replied as they reached their new home.
"Miss Porter!" an angelic voice called from the back of her bike. When Sarah turned to see Yuki, and her biggest problem yet, Touya, coming up to them. Behind Touya was his sister, Sakura.
"Konnichwa Yuki, Touya, and Sakura." Sarah replied as Syaoran glared at the Kinomoto siblings.
"Why are you here?" Touya replied to Sarah as he, too, glared at Syaoran.
Hey, I updated this story. I've decided that IT WON'T HAVE ANY RELIGION IN THIS AT ALL!!!! THANKS A MILLION TO y0ur-DoWnFaLl, they caught my error!!!!
Sneek Peak:
Sarah opened the package. When she looked inside, she saw the most beautifulest dress yet in her wardrobe. It was Chinese robe. It was a silky red with gold tigers printed all over it. She went to the bathroom to change out of her uniform to the elegant dress. She came out for Bronwyn to do her hair as she applied fresh make-up. Bronwyn held a barrette that who ever her birth parents. They found a bunch of stuff of books and outfits, make-up, and accessories in the mail. The last piece, was the necklace with real gold pieces held tight in a clear locket given to her my her adoptive uncle before he did when she was little. Sarah never performed without it. Then Bronwyn changed also in the bathroom into her exact copy of Sarah's dress; only it was a deep blue with golden dogs imprinted on it also. Sarah also helped her do her hair and make-up. They were ready when there was a knock on the door interdicting that the rest were ready to go. Sarah opened the door to the sight of Taylor, in the purple with gold monkeys dress style as hers, and Kit, in the green with gold cats dress style as hers, standing there with their long hair up in a Chinese style of buns.
"You look great!" the four chorused at the exact moment. They walked into the living room, laughing.
"What?" Alex asked afraid that they had told her that Alex had missed his sister so much.
"Oh, its nothing, Alex. Just something that we said in the bedroom. I'm just glad that I have my friends with me." Sarah said remembering what the value of friendship had given her through her life.
