Alucard's Familiar: "Hi! I'm a new writer on the block who is an insane F+K fan. Warning, this fic has Eriol bashing. I don't usually bash characters I love them all. We all love Eriol!"
Everyone dog piles on Eriol.
Alucard's Familiar: "I don't own Cardcaptor Sakura or any of its characters, but I do own this story! I also use the manga spellings for their names because I think the manga is cooler than the animated series. R&R onegai! Enjoy!"

The Life
Chapter 1
A mile in the air, a raven circled and followed a young girl as it was chased by a large black shadow. The aviator's golden eyes fixed on the small brunette as it landed in a tree of a clearing as stopped to face the shadow.
"What is that thing?" Sakura asked as she dodged the black thing. The shadow whirled around and attacked again, catching Sakura on the side. She fell and Kerberos covered her from further the attacks. The shadow turned once more, aiming for the sun guardian before something grayish red slammed into it.
"What is that?" Sakura asked as she sat up.
"A dog from the looks of it, possibly a wolf. Strange," Kero mumbled to himself.
The dog latched onto the shadow wolf's throat and locked its grip, suffocating it, then tossed in Sakura's direction. The young captor set it ablaze with The Fiery Card, staring at the glow if the burning corpse before her attention easily swayed over to her savior. It hadn't gone unscathed, baring heavily bleeding wounds in its sides and down a few of its legs.
"Oh Kero, it's hurt," Sakura went to go to it.
"Stop right there!" Yue shouted, "That is a wolf, you don't know what it will do to you when it's hurt."
"But I can't just leave it here, it saved my life," Sakura said as she walked over to it. She went to kneel down next to it, but the wolf leapt away. "Hey, I'm not going to hurt you."
I know that, came a weak voice. The wolf shimmered and changed shape. Sakura gasped at who it was.
"Ms. Mitsuki!" Sakura shouted, "How did you become that wolf?"
"I learned to shape shift, I had to, to get here," Mitsuki said.
Sakura noticed something strange about her former teacher, "Hey wait a minute!"
Mitsuki panicked and shifted back into wolf form and went to dart away.
"Kero, Yue, stop her!" Sakura shouted and the guardians surrounded the wolf.
Mitsuki circled, looking for a way out. She stared at the sun guardian and lunged at him. Kero flinched at the sudden movement and Mitsuki got through.
"After her!" Sakura said as she called on the Fly Card.
Kaho stopped in the trees that would conceal her for a little bit of time and shifted out of wolf form.
I wish I didn't have to run from you Sakura, but I can't let you see me like this, it's not right, Mitsuki thought to herself. She looked down at her left arm and found it had a deep gash down the center. No wonder I can't run very well...
She heard Sakura and the guardians coming closer and she swore.
I wish Sakura hadn't gotten so good with the Fly Card, Kaho said to herself as she shifted back to wolf form. She ran through the woods like her life depended on it, and it did. She emerged from the woods and ran into the open.
"There she is," Sakura said and she swooped down on her. "Windy Card, form a cage to trap Ms. Mitsuki! Windy!"
Kaho looked up at the Card as it advanced on her and made a mad dash in one direction. It didn't work, the Windy caught her in one second and she was trapped inside a gentle whirlwind that held her in place. The Windy touched down on the ground as Sakura walked over, but it didn't release her.
"Ms. Mitsuki, what are you doing here?" Sakura asked, "How did you get-" she was cut off when Kaho thrashed inside the bubble that Windy had created, trying frantically to get free.
"Stop! You'll hurt yourself!" Sakura shouted and Kaho settled down. "I'll try again, why are you here?"
I needed to get away, my life depended on it, Kaho said, I can't explain anything else, please, let me go, I'll just be a bother to you.
"No, you're hurt, you need a doctor, please, let me help you," Sakura said.
NO! Kaho screamed and she thrashed crazily inside the bubble.
"No! Kero how do I stop her?" Sakura asked the guardian.
"I'm not sure what will work on her Sakura," the guardian said, "Remember, she is resistant to magic."
"Well, I have to try something," Sakura said, "Sleep!" The Sleep Card rained down on Kaho.
For a moment Kaho stopped thrashing and her eyes flashed brightly. The Sleep was sent away back to the girl.
"I told you," Kero said.
"If she can repel this, why can't she break through the Windy?" Sakura asked, getting more worried by the minute.
"The elements are stronger than any of the other Cards, she can't break free," Yue said.
"I guess we'll have to bring her home," Sakura said, "we better get walking."
They made it to the gate of Sakura house when she realized who was standing out front waiting for her.
"Oh, I wasn't counting on explaining this to Dad," Sakura chewed on a fingernail as they neared the house.
"Now is as just as good a time as any," Yue said.
"He's right Sakura," Kero agreed.
"Sakura, what in the world is this?" Fujitaka asked as his daughter walked up to him. What followed her looked like a winged lion and an angel. Behind Sakura was what looked like a bubble with something trapped inside.
"Dad, let me explain," Sakura explained, "This is Kerberos and Yue. They were once sealed in that strange book that was in the basement. I found it and they were released. Kero lived with me in my room while I captured what are called Clow Cards that were stored in the book, and now I have transformed them into my Cards, Sakura Cards. Yue was the judge, he decided whether or not I would be a good master for the Cards or not. As you can see, I passed… with help…" She turned and looked the Windy globe, "And with that short nutshell explanation, it brings me to what is in that bubble.
"In there is an injured wolf, but it is not a wolf," Sakura explained, "You do remember my substitute math teacher right?" Fujitaka nodded. "She had magic, a lot, she still does, and that is what now enables her to shape-shift. She is the wolf inside the bubble, and as you can see, she is in need of help. But she's so bent on getting away from me that she's oblivious to that fact that she's hurt. Can you help me?"
"Sakura, you're sure that's your teacher?" Fujitaka asked.
"Positive," Sakura turned to the bubble, "Ms. Mitsuki, please calm down. Transform out of wolf shape right now, please."
Kaho stopped thrashing for a second and looked at Sakura. She sighed heavily and shifted out of wolf form for only a few seconds, and then she quickly shifted back and lay down in the bubble, too exhausted to thrash anymore.
"Believe me now?" Sakura asked.
"She's," Fujitaka started.
"Yeah, I know, but she won't tell me, and every time I offer to help her, she goes crazy and fights to get away," Sakura answered her father's question before he asked it. "So what do we do?"
"Well, first lets-" Fujitaka was cut off by Kaho shattering the bubble Windy had made and she fled down the street.
"No, after her!" Sakura shouted and she ran after her teacher.
Kaho ran as fast as her legs would carry her. She wouldn't let them catch her, not until she was sure she wouldn't cause them any harm in the future. She didn't care if she had to hide from them for days, she wouldn't be caught.
"Ms. Mitsuki!" Sakura cried and Kaho looked behind her. Sakura was flying at full speed behind her. Kaho growled and put on a burst of speed. Her injured legs were about to give way, but she had to keep going.
"Kero, circle around her!" Sakura shouted and Kerberos flew around the wolf and blocked her. Kaho snarled at the guardian.
"This is very unlike her," Yue said, "She doesn't have a mean bone in her body.
"I know," Sakura said as she landed on the other side of her teacher, "Ms. Mitsuki, you're hurting yourself more like this, please stop."
Kaho growled, but something behind Sakura made her stop.
Sakura! Watch out! Kaho cried out, but it was too late. The shadow had already attacked, sending a wave of wind at them, throwing them all against the wall of a fence.
Sakura looked up and wished she were at home. The demon was stalking toward her and she winced, waiting for the attack. It never came.
Kaho lunged at the demon, throwing it into a physical form. Its form was a black wolf, twice as big as Kaho, similar to the one she had fought a few moments ago.
"She has no chance," Kero said.
"Ms. Mitsuki!" Sakura cried.
Kaho lunged and the demon attacked. The fight was bloody, and Sakura thought she was going to be sick. Blood splattered on the ground as the wolf fell, its throat had been ripped out.
Kaho shook out her fur, getting all of the shadow wolf's blood off of her. It burned, and her own wounds throbbed and stung. She limped over to Sakura and looked up at the girl.
I give up, she said as she shifted out of wolf form. She looked down at Sakura with a sad smile, "Sorry..." Kaho passed out, but Fujitaka made it there just in time to catch her.
"Gotcha," he said as he caught her.
"She's hurt Dad, what do we do?" Sakura asked.
"We get her inside, that's what," Fujitaka said as he started to walk back to the house.
Kaho opened her eyes to unfamiliar surroundings. She looked around from where she laid, but didn't recognize anything. She went to sit up, but winced and stayed were she was as a lightning bolt of pain went through her. Her left arm was bandaged all the way up to her shoulder and her head pounded.
She tried to sit up again and made it. She looked around the room as she tried to over ride the pain of her injuries. She heard footstep coming towards the room, and leaned up against the back of the couch as the footsteps got closer. Sakura walked into the room a second later and a smiled spread out on her face when she saw she was awake.
"Ms. Mitsuki, you're awake," Sakura said and she turned in the doorway and called to her father, "She's awake."
Fujitaka walked into the room behind Sakura, who had scampered over to the couch. Kero was sitting on Sakura's shoulder and he smiled at Sakura's former teacher evilly. He flew off of Sakura shoulder and hovered in front of Kaho's face. He started to glow brightly as he started talking.
"Why were you running away from us in the first place huh?" Kero asked, he looked intimidating as he glowed. "What happened, how did you get pregnant?"
"Kero!" Sakura shouted as she snatched the guardian away, "You are so rude sometimes. I doubt she wants to talk about that right now."
"Actually, I was about to ask her what happened my own self," Fujitaka said.
Kaho didn't look at them, then she signaled Fujitaka to cover Sakura's ears. The man leaned over and did so, his daughter sitting still and waited so her father could get the information he wanted "I was raped."
Fujitaka went rigid and Kero fell out of the air and onto the floor in unexpected surprise, "When? The man asked.
"January," Kaho answered and Fujitaka flinched. It was the beginning of October, and would be due sooner than he expected.
"Who was it?" Fujitaka asked and Kaho shrugged. "What about Eriol?"
"He didn't believe me," Kaho said, "That's why I traveled back here, but I had to do it alone. I learned how to shape-shift by the time I got to the coast of England. Eriol had managed to hack into the bank I had been using and looked my account, so traveling my normal means was impossible. I traveled here in multiple different animal shapes. I went through Europe and Asia to get here. I haven't stopped since I started; this is the first time I've been inside a building since I left England."
Kero whispered to Sakura what had happened and Sakura finally understood. The girl cursed and stormed upstairs, preaching how she was going to write an strongly worded letter to the boy for doing what he had done.
"Wow, I didn't know she knew that kind of language," Kero said as she Sakura walked upstairs.
"Neither did I," Fujitaka said with a small glare at the guardian.
"I didn't teach her that, I don't even speak that way!" Kero said.
"Right…" Fujitaka said as he looked back at Kaho. "Since you don't have a place to stay, you can stay here."
"What about Toya?" Kero asked and Kaho flinched at the name.
"We'll have to deal with Toya at a later time," Fujitaka said as he looked over at Kaho, then he had second thoughts when he saw the fear in her eyes. "I don't know if there's a place we can hide you," Fujitaka said.
"She can stay in my room," Sakura said as she walked back into the room, "Toya never goes in there unless he thinks I have something of his."
"But you already have Kero in there with you," Fujitaka said.
"I sleep in her desk drawer," Kero said in a matter of fact tone, which got a small giggle out of Sakura .
"You really don't have to do this," Kaho said.
"Yes I do," Fujitaka said, "You saved my daughter, I owe you my life, because my kids are my life." Kaho was quiet after that.
"I owe her too," Sakura said, "She saved me at my Final Judgment, I have my own debt to repay."
"What do you think?" Fujitaka asked.
"I guess, but you really don't ha-"
"Don't start that again," Fujitaka interrupted her, "Can you stand?" Kaho shrugged as Fujitaka walked over to her and helped her up. They all walked upstairs and Sakura scampered into her room just as they heard the front door open and Toya's voice. Fujitaka hurried downstairs to keep Toya busy as Sakura quickly closed her bedroom door.
"This is going to be harder than I expected," Sakura said as Kaho leaned against the wall.
"I hope we don't have to explain everything to your brother like we did with your father," Kero said as he floated by Sakura.
"He already knows," Kaho said.
"What?" Sakura asked.
"At your Final Trial," Kaho started, "He was there the whole time. He watched the whole thing. I knew he was there, and I spoke to him after. I made him promise to keep quiet, I guess it doesn't matter now."
"Sakura! Do you have my alarm clock again?" Toya asked as he neared the door.
Sakura and Kaho looked at each other in panic as Toya opened the door. Kaho was leaning against the wall near the door so when it was opened it slammed the wall, Sakura flinched at the noise.
"Toya, you say I'm loud, no I don't have your alarm clock," Sakura said, "Are you sure you didn't leave it at Yukito's house?"
"I don't think so," Toya said.
There was chirping at the top of the door and they looked up to see a yellow bird sitting on top of the door.
Ho-e, she's fast, Sakura thought with a sigh of relief.
"How did this bird get in here?" Toya asked.
"Um, I had my window open and it flew in. I've been trying to catch it," Sakura said.
"I'll get it," Toya said and he jumped up and grabbed the bird. "Open your window."
Sakura stared at him for a minute, and then she went and opened her window. Toya tossed the little bird out and Sakura flinched when she watched a cat jump into the tree.
"Thanks Toya, bye," Sakura said as she closed the door after him. She ran back over to her window and opened it. An owl flew in and scared Sakura.
Remind me to kick that cat later, Kaho said as she shifted out of owl form.
"Sorry about that," Sakura said and Kaho looked down at her with a tired smile.
Alucard's Familiar: "How was that for a first chapter? For those of you who actually took the time to read this, I'm going to point something out. I believe the whole SxS pairing has been over done, as have most of the other cannon pairings. It's not that I dislike them, far from it. Holds up banner cheering for SxS I just feel other pairings should be explored and elaborated on. I created this pairings (Of which I'm completely addicted to) and usually base most of my fics around it. I don't write much, nothing of yet, of any other pairing. But I do support the YukitoxToya pairings, which I will dabble in with my main fics. It is my mission in life to hook more people to the FujitakaxKaho pairing So please excuse my obsessive fangirliness for it. Thank you for reading and the next chapter will be up soon!"
