~~SAKURA BLOOD~~
Intro, AKA Author's Note/Rant
This intro is written at 10:53 PM. Yes, some of you may find this early. I find this late. Too late for me to make sense. I have a limit of a grand total of 8 hours that I can be coherent in a day. I've already used that up (my cousin from China has moved here, and I find myself translating into Chinese a lot. Considering I SUCK at Chinese, having moved to North America at 3, it took quite a bit of thinking to accomplish this. Thinking hurts) today, therefore you aren't gifted with one of my rare moments of lucidity. Tough.
What the hell? I just read this paragraph over, and apparently I've only made one grammatically incorrect sentence and no spelling errors. I can't type correctly at 12:00 noon, bright daylight, yet I can type perfectly well at 11:00 at night with a huge headache? There, that makes me feel better, I typed "huge" incorrectly, and used "incorrect" twice in a paragraph. This means I'm not TOO clear as to my surroundings. If I hadn't made a mistake in this part, then I'd KNOW something was wrong. Anyways, rant aside!
Hisoka: [sulkily] Lokogato-sama does not own Yami no Matsuei. Thank God. If she did, I don't know what would have become of me. Not to mention I would constantly speak in broken sentences like I am now. Matsushita Yoko, who is a fangirl, which does not bode well for me, does. And whoever licensed Yami no Matsuei … thank God.
Tsuzuki: [looks at paper] This fic is dedicated to the most excellent and wonderful Verdenda, AKA Em-chan, because she's a great friend and hasn't complained (too much) about Loko's failure to return "Interview With the Vampire" or anything else she's borrowed from her over the past year to her (on time). Gomen ne! Daisuki! She's gonna miss you! Assuming you read this. Ever …
Tatsumi: [deadpan] And funded by … ah … [raises eyebrow] "Maxwell House Coffee" (she would like to say that this MUST be the only brand Duo-chan ever drinks) and "Long Jing Cha" which is wonderful, if expensive, green tea. Luckily, as she is just entering high school (yay, finally) she doesn't have to pay for anything.
Watari: [cheerily] Please note that no characters were harmed in the making of this fanfic (even if they were, they didn't really die from it and healed within half an hour). All music used in this fanfic do not belong to Lokogato-sama, and probably belong to miscellaneous voice actors of Card Captor Sakura (notably Tange Sakura) and CLAMP. Also to the creator of Slayers, Counting Crows, Beethoven and many people that Lokogato-sama is too lazy to find out names of.
Lokogato: So please, don't sue me! Even if you could sue me, all you'd get is the five cents left over from my latest manga purchase and a lot of dust bunnies. Right then, if you've read this, congratulations for living! If you haven't
YOU SUCK
SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN THAT. READ THIS -------------- Read the sentence above. I love doing that – n_n – (weird, that face underlined with red (SpellCheck no recognize) looks like it's blushing, try it yourself on Word).
Anyways! This story is based on … *cue scary music here. Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, "Fate knocking on the door"* Card Captor Sakura, by the most revered CLAMP! I DO NOT own this storyline. Well, the twists on the plot (if you know what I'm talking about here) are mine. Otherwise, the Clow Cards, kawaii Kero-chan, miscellaneous characters, and pretty, pretty Yu~e are theirs. The lucky things! If you understand what CCS is, read this next. If you don't, well it won't help you much, will it … ? Just to let you know … this story is only a LITTLE darker than what the previous bit suggests! Only a little! *gets smote for lying*
"Roles"
Asato Tsuzuki – Kinomoto Sakura (in one of those too-strange-but-cute pink fluffy things of Tomoyo's – kawaii!)
Kurosaki Hisoka – Li Syaoran/Xiao-Lang (isn't this brilliant casting? ^__^)
Tatsumi Seiichirou – Li Ye-lan (Is that her name? Anyways, he's 'Soka's guardian. Other weird things too …)
Watari Yutaka – Tsukishiro Yukito (he's less clueless. Convenient plot twist)
Muraki Kazutaka – Hiiragizawa Eriol (he's more evil. Like he should be … molesting my poor 'Soka! Grr …)
Terazuma Hajime – Li Mei-Ling (For the sake of [my] convenience, he does NOT like Hisoka. Protective, yes …)
Tohjou Hisae – Kinomoto Touya (gender change. He's very womanly.)
Kakyouin Tsubaki – Nakuru (OK, I know, serious OOC. But hey! There's no "C" to be "O" of!)
Kero-chan – Kero-chan (very original)
Fukiya Yuma and Torii Saya – Daidouji Tomoyo (they split the role between them. Yes, 'Soka gets his share. Aren't I a genius?)
Souppy-chan – Souppy-chan (very … not … original … it's TOO LATE to think! .)
Minase Hijiri – Yue (eh. He looks like Hisoka. Therefore, he is pretty enough. I lengthened his hair; it should help)
Wong Maria – Ruby Moon (It appears the original and new Moon Guardians have switched personalities. Meh!)
Yes! That should take care of it all! If I've missed a character, feel free to swear viciously/diss me in reviews, email (lokogato@hotmail.com) etc! Just, please wait until you've read the first chapter to flame the story. Then, turn up the heat! I can't stand real heat (it's so hot right now!) but I sure as hell loooove the kitchen! (Loko: Mmm, food … 'Soka: That's figuratively, you fool.)
Yes. Before you start. Forgive crappy writing, bad clichés, long-winded sentences and general inability to write. Tweaking of personalities, ages, family relations etc. There will be music information (in this format: Name, Album/CD, Singer, Show) and occasionally scattered lyrics. Also, the storyline, unlike previously mentioned, is not completely stolen. In fact, the only things (_almost_ the only things) stolen are certain characters, items and events. As this brainchild (what brain?) grew, it sort of, ah, lost the plot. It does happen to HAVE a plot. But it's actually MY plot! *evil laughter*
That aside! Now -
