Till death do us part Chapter one
Man! Don't you all hate Sasha!(aka Setsuna) She is soooooo annoying! Why did
I have 2 be her cousin??? It's not fair!! She's so pretty...kinda gothic,
though...she is kinda dense in math...but she's popular...and funny...and an
idiot...and most of you like her! If you've e-mail her, and instantly didn't
like her, TELL ME IN YOUR REVIEW!! Well...this is my first fan fic, so don't
flame! And, I of course do not own cardcaptors. Nelvana trashed it, though.
So, Nelvana, if u r reading this, you bite! You wreck all of our fave anime
shows! Pioneer sucks, too, but they r at least dubbing the rest of ther SM
episodes, but they r putting them on video, and the video's r 14.95 EACH!
Those come out in February.... Anyways, here is my story. Syaoran went back
to Hong Kong when they were 11, and in grade 5, never telling Sakura his
true feelings, and they are now in grade...10, so It's five years later.
Sakura is 16, turning 17 in two months, so It's February. Oh, and I stole
Artemis from Setsuna, but in MY story, you'll find out how they met, unlike
Setsuna, who can't bother to tell us! Umm..I stole the idea of how they met
from Sets, too...-_-'...It is apparent that I cannot think of anything by my
self....

That is a cool symbol! This swirly thingy...~~

Sakura sighed, looking up from her science experiment. Her green eyes
flickered brightly in the hot lights of Reedington High School's science lab.
She silently stirred a test tube of iodine, pouring some vitamin C into it.
The science teacher, Mr. Westacott walked over, pushing his glasses back up
his nose, his white lab coat getting tangled around his legs. Madison tried
not to laugh as the short man tried to untangle his lab coat.
"Alright...class. You see, when you pour the vitamin C concentrate, into the
iodine, which, by the way, took my TWO hours to mix up and shake it, the
iodine should start to turn clear." Westacott said, finally free of his coat,
which appeared to be alive. Suddenly, the bell rang.
"Oh! Um...work sheets are due on...Monday." Westacott said, pouring the
iodine into the liquid waste jug.
"Oh! Please, don't give us homework! I'll be out all night!" Rita whined,
stomping her foot.
"Only ONE page, Nikki, er, I mean, Rita. Only one." Westacott said, sitting
on the corned of a desk(peoples, I'm trying to imitate my teacher, here. His
names Mr. Westacott...hehe). Rita sighed, nodding slowly. She shoved all her
books into her bag,
smiling slightly at Sakura, who nodded slightly back. Sakura hadn't spoken
to anyone, except Artemis and Madison, since Li left. Nobody even heard her
breathe. Sakura sighed again, striding out of the room. She sensed someone
run up next to her.
"So, um, Sakura. You never answered me when I asked you to the dance. Do you
wanna go?" Tyler asked, falling in pace with the young Clow Mistress. Sakura
shook her head, stopping suddenly in front of her locker. Tyler kept on
walking, then he noticed that the young woman was not next to him. He stopped
, running backwards.
"So? What do ya say? I mean...sorry, but just nod, or shake your head," Tyler
pushed. Sakura spun to him, her light green eyes burning deep into his sky
blue ones, tearing his soul, his only reinforcement in the Underworld, to
shreds. She slowly shook her head. Ty began to protest, but he was
interrupted by a loud shout from down the hall.
"Avalon! You, missy, are coming to the dance with Rita, Nikki, Chelsea, and
me! Got it?" Madison yelled to her long time friend, everyone in the crowded
hall turning to look at her. They then turned to Sakura, who pulled her bag
from her locker, slamming it shut. She glanced at Madison as she headed to
the door, her rollerblades dangling from her left hand.
"Get a life, Taylor!" Sakura said, the first...four...words that anybody had
heard her say in five years. Everyone gasped. Ty's mouth fell to the floor
(anime style).
"Woah! Dude, you can talk?!" he asked astonished. Sakura sighed, shaking her
head.
"No. I'm mute. I've been mute since I was two. This is a miracle in the term
that is scientific research. You know what? You should jam a needle into my
arm, knocking me unconscious. You should then kidnap me, take me to some
whacked-out center, where they can preform weird, alien-like tests on me.
They can shove needles in my arm, and stuff up my butt...hmmp!" Sakura was
interrupted as a strong hand was clamped around her mouth.
"Please excuse her. She has these...breakouts...sometimes." Artemis said,
quickly dragging Sakura out the door. Everyone was silent, staring at where
Sakura and the woman, who had just magically appeared, left.
"Stick stuff up her butt?" Madison asked. She looked a Chelsea, who looked
at Rita, who looked at Nikki, who looked at Madison. Suddenly the four girls
burst out laughing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura sat in a small coffee shop in Reedington, sipping on a cup of tea
silently, a "Topography and Geography of Brazil, and South America," textbook
, flopped un-neatly on the table, Sakura mindlessly scanning the words. Her
mind was on when she first met Artemis.
********************************Flash back, man******************************
Sakura sat on the floor in his basement/library, staring at the little yellow
creature flying in front of her.
"Right...so I'm supposed to CATCH these...cards... which have magical powers,
and can destroy the world if I don't?" Sakura asked the creature, trying not
to laugh. The thing nodded.
"Right...."
******************************************change of scene*******************
Sakura sat on a park bench leaning back against the cool wood, the freezing
rain pelting down on her face. She had just caught the thunder card. She
suddenly felt a presence behind her. She spun around, only to find...nothing.
It was go. Sakura turned, her light green eyes meeting a pair of dark green
ones. She screamed in surprise.
"So...this is the Cardcaptor. Kinda young, aren't ya?" the woman asked, her
long silver hair had water dripping off of it, and the black streaks seemed
to blend in with the night sky. Sakura stared in disbelief at this woman. She
was so beautiful. He green eyes sparkled as water slowly dripped off her
sailor-moon bangs, running down her pale cheeks. Her deep red lips were
pursed together, and one of her perfectly plucked eyebrows were raised
questionably.
"Who...who are you?" Sakura asked, just now noticing the cold. The woman
looked sympathetic for the little girl.
"Oh you poor dear, you must be freezing. I'm Artemis." the mysterious figure
said. Sakura gasped in shock. Artemis was a goddess...one that was said to
come only to dying people. She was rarely seen, if ever. She was immortal.
She had created the universe, and she could end it.
"Your...hear to kill me, aren't you?" Sakura asked, shivering. Artemis
snorted.
"No! Why would I kill you? What have you done that was bad? Sure, you
released the Clow Cards, but that was an accident. I wouldn't kill ya because
of that." Artemis said, a bubble appearing around both of them. Sakura
instantly began to warm up.
"Come. Let's get something warm to drink. You'll freeze to death out here."
Artemis said, helping the girl up. Sakura nodded gratefully.
"What are you doing out here, anyway? You're a smart lass, ye should know
better than that." Artemis said, guiding the freezing girl into a coffee shop
. Some people looked up, as a glowing, floating woman entered, a little girl
at her side. A waitress dropped a trayful of glasses on the hard tile floor
as she saw the Immortal Goddess enter the room. Artemis waved her hand, the
glasses, instantly put back together, were resting on the tray.
"I was out there...because...of Li." Sakura mumbled through her chattering
teeth. Sakura silently thanked the waitress as she set down two cups of tea
on the table, bowing slightly. Artemis thanked her, turning back to the
freezing Cardcaptor.
"What did Syaoran say?" Artemis asked. Sakura was surprised that she knew who
Li was.
"He...he..he said I...I was useless. That I would never become a true
Cardcaptor. That I was a failure." Sakura said, taking a sip of the tea,
which instantly warmed her up.
"How would Li know? He only came here...what, yesterday? Ignore the lad, and
he'll go away." Artemis said. Sakura nodded.
"So, what is your business here, if not to kill me?" Sakura asked Artemis.
"To protect you." Artemis said evilly.
*********************************************End Flashback*******************
Sakura was sitting in the exact same coffee shop that Artemis had first taken
her to.
"So, anyway. I'm making your dress, kay?" Madison said, appearing next to
Sakura, who looked up, startled.
"No, Madison. I'm not going." Sakura began, but Madison stopped her.
"Please? We want to go as a group, and that includes you! Please? I'll never
ask anything from you again!" Madison begged. Sakura sighed. After a while,
she nodded.
"Alright. But do me a fav? Nothing too...poofy. Don't put too many, if any,
bows, ribbons, lace, frills, or zippers. Got it?" Sakura asked, pointing an
accusing finger at her friend.
"What? Would I do that to you?" Madison asked questionably.
"Yes." Sakura said before her eyes returned to the textbook.
"Besides," Madison began, "Your dress is already done." Sakura's head shot
up at this.
"So, I'll see you tonight. 7:00. Don't forget, or me, and three other girls,
will kick your ass." Madison said before leaving the small cafe.
