Ohayo, minna-san! Pink_hime_sakura desu.
This is my first fic, I¡¯m sooooooo excited! It¡¯s based on the Trojan War, so I¡¯m going to use CCS names and Greek names for the humans, but I¡¯ll keep the gods and goddesses with their original names.
Sakura- Helen
Tomoyo- Andromache
Eriol- Hector
Syaoran- Paris
Touya- er¡umm¡Touya. Sakura¡¯s brother. Yeah. ^.^() Heh heh heh¡
Yukito- Helenus (Cassandra¡¯s twin)
Nakuru- Cassandra
Like I said, this fic is based off of the Illiad, or the story of the Trojan War. I don¡¯t own the Illiad. That was written by a blind guy. I¡¯m not a blind guy. Period. So don¡¯t sue me for that, k? ^_~
I don¡¯t own Cardcaptor Sakura, so don¡¯t sue, unless you want¡*searches pockets* ummm¡a lint thingy, a dirty penny, and some sticky thing¡ew¡gross¡.
Okay, well¡on with the fic!

Sakura stared desolately at the battlefield over the high walls of Hong Kong. She still remembered a time when the gardens were filled with sweet-scented flowers and all sorts of interesting plants. She still remembered a time when little animals, rabbits and butterflies and sometimes even deer roamed the now-desolate forests- forests cut down to provide enough firewood for the city now under siege. She still remembered those times, when she had just newly arrived in Hong Kong.
Then came this blasted war, this abominable fury that swept over the grassy hills and fruitful plains; the abomination that was caused by her.
The face that launched a thousand ships- that¡¯s what they called her. She felt disgusted of herself. All this destruction, all this misery¡ all happened because of her.

¡°Mou (Argh), oka-san (mom)!!! Stop it!!!¡± Li Syaoran, once abandoned and newly-found son of the great and prosperous Li kingdom was currently pouting in a very un-princelike way. ¡°Even if I AM a prince, and a newly found one, I don¡¯t see any reason for you to fuss over me like a girl!¡±
¡°Gomen nasai (I¡¯m sorry), Syaoran, I¡¯m just so happy I found you again¡¡± Li Yelan, queen of the Li kingdom, sighed, a happy sigh. ¡°Gomen nasai. For everything¡I¡¯m so sorry I abandoned you for a bunch of ghastly dreams and old, trickster oracles. How in the world can you bring destruction to Hong Kong?¡± Yelan¡¯s eyes clouded and became misty. She wasn¡¯t the type to cry at every little thing. Perhaps I¡¯m getting old faster than I expected¡ Yelan wiped her eyes gently on her handkerchief.
¡°Daijoubu (It¡¯s alright), oka-san¡¡± Syaoran¡¯s eyes softened seeing his mother¡¯s pain. ¡°I¡¯m back now, that¡¯s all that count, right?¡±
¡°Oh, Syaoran¡¡± Yelan hugged her son tightly.

¡°Hoe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡±
Rika Sasaki stepped back from the bed with an empty bucket.
¡°What was that for?¡±
Rika just looked at her.
After a few seconds, a look of realization crossed the delicate face of Kinomoto Sakura, princess of the island of Okinawa, and she jumped up from her featherbed. ¡°I¡¯m LATE!!!!!!!!!!!¡± She ran around anxiously like a chicken with its head cut off.
Rika sweatdropped. This was Sakura¡¯s big day, her wedding day to the honorable King Menelaus, and she still couldn¡¯t break her habit of sleeping in.
¡°Rika-chan!¡± Sakura moaned. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you wake me up earlier??!!¡± She tried to climb out of her pajamas but ended up tripping instead. ¡°Hoe¡¡±
Rika tried to surpress a smile. Klutzy Sakura-chan¡ ¡°Here, let me help you.¡± While helping Sakura out of her pj¡¯s, Rika explained. ¡°I¡¯ve been trying to wake you up since 2 hours ago, but you simply refused to be awakened. I tried yelling, shaking, and even tried a gong. It didn¡¯t work, so I had to go get a bucket of ice water. Gomen ne, Saku-chan.¡±
¡°Daijobu, just help me dress!!!!¡±
