A/N: I must make this note. I have only seen the English version of this- er, with the exception of the 1st movie. And to make matters deeper, I have only seen a few of the English version. (The ones I've seen are from the Time Card to the Twin Card.) So no one say 'That never happened' or 'that's not how it happened'. B/c this is my version. Think different dimension.
^_^;; Oh, and they're in seventh grade.
Disclaimer: CCS belongs to CLAMP not me. So no one sue me. I only own whatever I made up- trust me; you'll know what and who that is.

----------------------------
This day was like every other day for 13-year-old Sakura Avalon. So it had to start like any other day.
"Oh, no! I'm late!!"
Sakura threw on her clothes, managing to put her hair up as she went, grab her lunch, put on
her skates, and get out the door before the chime of seven o'clock sounded from the clock tower. And
of course as she rounded the corner of her classroom she heard the bell chime for class. She breathed a
sigh of relief. "Sakura Avalon, you're late." Then sweatdroped at her teacher's timing. She quickly took
her seat.
The teacher smiled at the class. "I'm sure everyone is happy that today is the last day of the
school year. Marking the end to our time together. I will miss you all-" he glanced at Sakura, "-Even
those who wish to miss the first five minutes of my class." Sakura blushed trying to hide her face. "You
have a free period to enjoy yourselves." Everyone cheered, and immediately started talking.
"Hey Sakura." Madison turned in her seat to see her friend. "What do you plan to do over
the summer?" Sakura took on a dreamy look whenever someone mentioned summer. "The beach."
Sakura said faintly. Madison laughed at her friend. Most of the day was just spent like that.
Finally the last bell rang. Followed by everyone racing for the door. On the way home Sakura
slowed to look at the Cheery Blossoms the decorated to streets. That's when she felt it. A very faint
feeling. Just out of her immediate notice. She had the feeling of a slight pull. She unknowingly followed
it. Also along the way home was the park. The pull happened again, this time into the park.
Out of the corner of her eye she saw a really pretty patch of flowers. Easily she pulled off her
skates, stepping into the small garden. Every flower was a shaded pink; the buds freshly bloomed;
reminding her of the Cheery Blossoms she had seen along the way. She bent down about to smell one
of the flowers when- "Sakura, get away from those!" Sakura stopped dead. She knew that voice, but it
couldn't be- "Syaoran?" Sure enough turning around, there was her friend and old partner, Syaoran Li.
She made to stand up, but something had wrapped around her arm. "Wha..?" She pulled on
it but it only tightened. "Sakura, get out of there!" She heard Syaoran call. She was about to call to him
when something came up in front of her. She heard Syaoran's footsteps behind her; the thing in front of
her met her eyes and held her there. She couldn't move; couldn't look away.
Syaoran had just reached the garden when he realized what was coming next. "Look away-"
But even as he called the creature blew something yellow in Sakura's face. Immediately her eyes started
to close as she fell backwards. Syaoran managed to catch her just before she hit the bed of flowers. He
looked down at her face. She was unconscious. Angrily he turned on the creature. "Wake her up." The
creature shook its head. Smiling, it disappeared into the ground. "Hey! Come back!" He shouted, but
the creature was gone.
Syaoran turned his attention on Sakura. She looked so peaceful. And more beautiful than
when he had last seen her. He shook his head. Now wasn't the time. "Sakura, wake up." He shook her,
and got no response. He tried again. He only got the same response.
"You won't wake her." Syaoran's head shot up. He blinked. "Wha...?" Standing before him
was a young blond haired girl. She wore a simple red blouse and black pants. She wore a look of
concern. "What did you say?" Syaoran regained himself. "I said you won't wake her. Atleast not that
way." She shook her head. Syaoran frowned then said, "How do you know that?" The girl shook her
head again. "I'll explain later. But not here, you better leave before someone notices." She said. He
realized she was right. He couldn't stay here. "Who are-- ??" When he looked up, the girl was gone.
(A/n: What is it with people disappearing in this story?? -_-;;)
*****
Falling…
Darkness…
Noting but darkness…
Lightly, Sakura landed on the surface of a pool of water. She slowly opened her eyes. ::Where am I?::
…Sakura…
Who's there?
…Cherry blossom…
Who's there? Who's calling me?
…Be brave…
Be brave? What do you mean? Who are you?
Silence answered her.
*****
"Let me see if I get this straight," said Kero, paw on his chin. "A huge flower creature
attacked Sakura, then a girl appeared saying you couldn't wake Sakura?" Kero had meet up with Li (A/n:
Ok, so I'm tired of writing 'Syaoran'. I'll just call him 'Li' like every one else.), Meilin, and Madison, who
had somehow or another caught up with them (Li and Meilin) along the way. Now they were at Li's
apartment trying to come up with an answer to what the flower creature was.
"She said I couldn't wake her by shaking her." Li muttered irritably. Kero waved an impatient
hand. "Whatever. Did the girl say anything else?" Li shook his head. "Only that she would explain later."
"And I always do what I say I will." All the occupants in the room spun around. There standing there
was the girl from the park. "Who are you?" Li demanded.
The girl looking at him then smiled. "My name is Nakuya." (A/n: pronounced: Nah koow ya)
Kero blinked, he'd heard that somewhere. Nakuya looked at Kero. "Cerberus. I should have known you
would be here." She looked at Sakura. "That would mean that she is the Clow Card Mistress I've heard
about." She looked at Li. "And you must Syaoran Li, descendent of the magician Clow Reed."
Li stared at her for a moment. "How--?" She raised her hand. "I will explain in the morning.
For now, you should get to sleep." Sleep? Everyone, except Nakuya, looked up at the clock. It read
10:32. 10:32?!?! How on earth did it get so late?! Everyone decided it was time to go to sleep. Li's last
thought before falling asleep was: I can wake her up. And I will… somehow.
***********
A/n: this is my VERY first CCS story I have ever written, so no one kill me if I didn't put a lot of S+S
in it. I can try, but romance is so not my strong point… AND NO ONE BUT NAKUYA BELONGS
TO ME!!!!! Oh, and I own the flower critter to. (It was NOT! a clow card... well not exactly. Oh you'll
see) Did anyone out there know that 'Meilin's Story' is the 43(?) episode in the Japanese series? That
means they skipped over a LOT of episodes. *eyes water* NNNNNOOOO!!!!!!!
P.S.- I just renamed this because it suits it better. *nods*
