A/N: I got the idea from the blurb of a Percy Jackson book. The storyline is mine though, and Fujitaka will NOT be in this story neither will Touya, unfortunately, oh and Sonomi won't be there either, probably no guardians for cards, no cards, Yukito might make a cameo though. They would just upset the balance of things, but Nadeshiko will be there and definitely alive!
LANGUAGE! RATED T FOR A REASON! NOT RATED M BECAUSE, SERIOUSLY, WHO HASN'T MET A TEEN WHO DOESN'T SWEAR?
Chapter 1
Huff huff huff
Let me tell you about myself. My name is Kinomoto Sakura, and I'm currently trying to defeat that big ugly thing behind me. I'm 15 years old and I'm kind of ordinary... I'm as ordinary as I can be. You can tell already that I'm pretty strange, right? I mean, I am fighting against an ogre.
Well, me, I'm not your run-of-the-mill ordinary superhero, I'm nothing like those kids in mangas, always saving the world by using something they find! I inherited this from my genes. My father was not exactly human. That's right, you heard me, he wasn't HUMAN. He was a god. Not THE god, A god.
DUH! I'm not Jesus! My father was a god, a Greek God. Zeus to be exact. The Big Boss. King of all other Gods. Yeah, that Zeus. Apparently, they're all alive, sitting up there, watching us... You know God stuff.
But don't listen to anyone, the Gods aren't at all related to each other, not at all.
THUMP!
Ah... that's better! That ogre was way too strong to fight, so I ran until he overheated, simple. I'm exhausted, I'll see you tomorrow.
-.-.-.-.-
...Mornin'... What time is it? ... WHAT DO YOU MEAN 8:30!?!?!?! HOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! I'M GONNA BE LATE!!!!!!!
Yes, it's a usual routine. Every morning, I wake up late. I'm dressed in my school uniform now. It's not your usual sailor-top-short-skirt uniform. Our school was unique and decided differently. The boys wore short sleeved shirts, navy trousers and a red school tie. The shirt had the school emblem on the breast pocket.
The girls uniform was ultra cute! We had little puff sleeves on our fitted white shirts, we wore a cute little V-neck jumper, it was navy and sleeveless. The neck was quite low but it was cute. We tucked our red ties into them, and we had white skirts with red hems to complete the outfit. Cute, right?
I rushed down into the dining room to find my mother, readying my breakfast. She hummed to herself as she placed everything on my plate, it was always in the shape of a smile. It always made me smile too. I scarfed it down as my mother watched in amusement. Her pretty wavy hair shimmered as she laughed, and her face creased as she noticed that I had egg yolk on my cheek. In her own motherly way, she wiped it up.
She often got stopped by young men in the streets, asking for her number. But she always laughed, explaining that she was 42, and not 22 as they had thought. Yes, she still looked that young. No wrinkles, nothing!
I ran, stopping for barely a second to put on my skates (exaggeration alert!) A calm rushed over me as the wind I generated ruffled my hair, and the spring flower petals drifted slowly around me. But then something strange happened. The petals drifted faster and faster around me, they swirled and whirled their way into a soft multi hue ball around me. I wobbled on my skates as the ball floated through the air and then I felt that strange tingling sensation whenever I entered the Other realm.
Slowly, the ball floated towards the brilliant white they called the floor. Swiftly, I changed my skates into my trainers. I stood up and I found three other petal balls float down towards me. One by one, they touched down, their petals receding until I could find out who was inside them.
To my utter surprise (NOT!) I found my cousin on my mother's side and also daughter of Hera, Tomoyo Daidouji. She was utterly beautiful, inherited from the goddess of love herself. Her long raven hair was braided into a thick French braid. Her uniform actually was one of those sailor-top-short-skirt uniforms, ugh... so boring!
In the second ball was the son of Poseidon. Eriol Hiiragizawa. A skilled liar and very dashing. His navy eyes and hair inherited from his father, his uniform was very British looking, black blazer, black tailored trousers, black long sleeved, v neck jumper, and white shirt. His blazer had the red school emblem and his tie was long, black with thin red diagonal stripes. His black school shoes were slightly scuffed, but still presentable.
Finally, Syaoran Li emerged. His face hard and stoic. He never showed emotion, he was disciplined and a hard worker. See that yin-yang pendant round his neck? That's his sword. He always keeps it with him. His uniform was sort of like the uniform at my school, wait a minute, I recognise that symbol, it IS my uniform! Why did no one tell me about this!?
...But my chain of thought was soon to be interrupted as Hermes flew towards us. The messenger had an urgent look on his young face, and he unravelled the scroll in his hands.
"Misses Daidouji and Kinomoto, Masters Li and Hiiragizawa,
You are cordially invited to an urgent meeting involving all the Greek Gods and Goddesses of Olympus.
The meeting involves you and it is compulsory to attend. Please prepare for transportation. And we will see you when you get here."
A swift wind started up again and lifted them through the air as if they were a feather. They drifted through the air for quite a while before finally landing in the centre of the circle of Gods. At sight of her father, Sakura's face broadened into a bright smile. Tomoyo immediately ran straight to Hera, giving her a big hug. Eriol smiled at Poseidon but remained where he was. Mr. Stingy however didn't do anything, he just stood there with his emotions contained inside. Stupid, doesn't he know that one day they'll just explode out of him? Tch, whatever.
"Children of the Big Four, you have been summoned here to carry out a mission. The Titans are breaking the bonds that have held them there for so long. As you know, they are barbaric and terrible, and should they escape, the world below us will be in grave danger."
We talked in whispers with each other. I was up for another adventure, and where ever I go, Tomoyo-chan and her camera follows. Eriol came along because, between you and me, I think he's in love with Tomoyo. Syaoran simply said he was coming along to protect us "weaker" ones from getting killed. As if!
"We accept" I've got to say though, he has got an impressive voice, it was deep, flowing, powerful and kind of hypnotic.
"Very well, you will start at sunset, every day, for it cannot do for you all to miss school. There was a collective groan from three of us, guess who didn't groan along with us. That's right mister anti-emotion. The wind picked us up and dropped each of us outside our separate schools, and at separate times, too... I decided not to inform him that he was to attend my school, and instead, I swiftly walked to class. The room was a buzz, they'd gotten wind that a new transfer student from China was here, and about to be assigned to his class.
I hope it wasn't this class because, well, the only seat free was the one next to mine. I sat nervously, waiting for the tutor to come through the door. Terada-Sensei was quick to finish the roll call.
"As you very well know, we have a Chinese exchange student this morning. Li Syaoran, will you enter please?"
I silently groaned, just my luck, right? Ah well, I was looking forward to seeing his expression.
And let me tell you, it was priceless! Let me tell you what happened.... (Prepare to be surprised)
He confidently strided into the class. His eyes were hooded and the expression on his face was non-existent, he didn't notice me, I was hidden by all the squealing girls. As unemotional as he was, he was still pretty cute with his messy chocolate hair and tall stance, it also helped that he was toned from all the training he had been doing since he was 3. Stupid training, stupid elders for making him train.
That's right! I didn't tell you, did I? Well, his cover story is that he will soon inherit the second largest fortune, right after Bill Gates. Yeah, he's a Li, stupid idiot, he knows he's got it all, everything! Apart from a personality, that is, heh, what? It's true! Why are you looking at me like that for? OK! I'll admit it! I'm jealous! But only a bit, I love my life with my mum!
Anyways, so Terada-Sensei's all like, settle down girls, settle down, and it takes like 10 minutes! It was hilarious watching him explode! When they all finally settle down, everyone is introduced to Syaoran Li, the cold ass. So when he's done explaining himself in that weird monotone, Terada-Sensei tells him to sit next to 'Miss Kinomoto,' his eyes widen and it's a rare moment where he has emotions, he's all like "WHAT?!?! Sakura?!?! How comes I wasn't told that you were attending this school?"
And I'm all like, "I didn't get told either, Syao-kuuuuun!" He hates it when I call him that, I'm snickering in my mind as I watch his face go red in anger. It's soo funny! But then he has to, reluctantly, sit next to me because it's the only seat available. I smirk at him as he glares at me. Then I notice all the jealous eyes watching me. We're gonna be in trouble at lunch for sure.
Lunch
I swear lunch break came early today! Aww man, look I'm already in trouble, and I've only just left the door! Syaoran is inside talking to the teacher. The three bitches strode towards me. The British foreigner Zoe Swan, with her two bitchettes, Yumi and Lita Uranaki, twins too. God, their blonde hair it too bright, stupid bottle blondes.
"Sakura, I've never liked you, and now, when there's new meat---ahem, I mean boys, that I like, they just happen to know you, and don't think no one noticed that little fact that you call him Syaoran, instead of Li-kun like the rest of us."
"And what of it?"
"We don't like it, stay away from him he's mine, bitch," look who's talking, right?
"Make me!" So then she launched herself at me with those freaky manicured claws. I was caught totally unguarded and she managed a big scratch down my arm. It was bleeding bad, but I could still beat her, if I was allowed! Unfortunately, life threatening situations only and I had to refrain myself from shattering her nose. Suddenly she launched herself at me with her claws again and I barely dodged, her claws struck air.
As she readied herself for another attack, I collapsed, Yumi and Lita had sneaked behind me and both of them kicked the back of my knees. Zoe smirked down at me, she saw my crystal pendant, yeah it's my sword. That's right, I have one, too! The crystal was a emerald star with a small white feather and beads dangling below it, it hangs on a silver string. She saw it and snatched it from my neck and looked at the sparkling crystal in the light.
Syaoran chose this moment to walk out and see me lying on the floor, my pendant in her clutches. And he calmly pulled it from her hand and helped me up. My hand flew up and held onto my injured arm. Syaoran glared at the three girls until they had turned and walked. Then, he turned and glared at me.
"Why did you let that slut do this to you?" I could tell, he was furious, but he was concerned, aww, he cares that I got hurt!...Did he just cuss? I don't believe it! He's the good boy! As I was thinking this, he pulled my hand away and winced at the amount of blood flowing down my arm.
"Sorry, remember what Wei told us? Only use your techniques in life threatening situations!" Syaoran was silent and I knew he knew that I was right. He brought out a bandage from his bag and bandaged me up good. My sword was safe around my neck. I thanked him and gave him a smile, he smiled back, I swear, he's showing more emotion, maybe he's getting tired of this charade he's put on since the age of 5, he was perfectly fine before. Yeah, I've known him that long.
The rest of the day went pretty normally, with the exception that I got extra glares from the bitch and bitchettes, especially when Syaoran started to help me with her Maths work. I found that Syaoran actually was enjoying himself taunting the girls that had hurt me. It's actually funny to watch their faces go red. I ended up enjoying myself with him, but I still couldn't wait for sunset, where we'll be sent a guide, it'll tell us what we need to do.
There goes the bell... Only another hour to sunset...
A/N: SQWEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS STORY!!!!!!!!!!!
