Hi people
Hi people! This idea came to me when I was trying to sleep of all times and it stuck with me. So due to sudden interest this occurred! Hope you all enjoy my random idea.
Disclaimer: Well I own nothing; CLAMP owns Cardcaptors and Kishimoto owns Naruto. Damn them for that!
Stuff you need to know:
The characters are as follows,
Sakura K. – Sakura H. (I laugh if you didn't gather that)
Touya K. – Deidara
Fujitaka K. – Sasori
Nadeshiko K. – Shizune
Tomoyo D. – Hinata H.
Kero – Naruto U.
Yukito T. – Kakashi H.
Chiharu M. – Temari
Naoko Y. – Tenten
Rika S. – Matasuri
And that's about it. Oh! And I'm basing this of the Japanese version because I hate the English one. On to the story!
Chapter 1: Sakura and the Mysterious Magic Book
A book with a winged creature appeared, seemly saying something, only vanishing immediately.
'Who… is calling out to me?'
Haruno Sakura stood still on top of one of the largest buildings in Konoha, staring ahead towards the large tower in the middle of the town. She was dressed in a pink and yellow out fit with a big bow in front; it was cute but not something that Sakura would really wear. In her hands rested a pink staff, with something resembling a bird's head on top. As she stared towards the tower, she saw larger bits of paper fly by, no wait, not paper's; they appeared to be cards of some form. A yellow stuffed toy floated next to her, 'why is that there?' she wondered vaguely. Stepping towards the edge of the building small wings appeared on the back of her shoes, and she jumped…
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!
Sakura flayed around, screaming slightly as her alarm clock woke her from the strange dream. She looked around and sighed happily; she was in her room again. It was rather neat with yellow walls and a wood floor. A television sat in a corner of her room and a desk was placed near her bedroom window. Looking down at her alarm clock she saw it was only seven o'clock.
"Oh, it's just the alarm," she said, yawning.
As she turned the alarm off she could hear her father calling, saying that her breakfast was ready.
--Sakura's point of view--
I'm Haruno Sakura and I'm a fourth grader at Konoha Elementary. My favorite subjects are P.E and music while my least favorite subject is arithmetic. You could say that my cheerfulness is one good thing about me!
--Normal view--
Sakura quickly rushed to get her school uniform on, which consisted of a knee length white skirt, a long sleeved blue top and a white and red sailor flap with a tie. She also hurriedly fixed her hair, an unusual pink colour, into two small pigtails in the side of her head.
When she made it down the stairs she called a happy 'Ohayou!' to her family. She frowned shortly after though, seeing who was seated at the table.
"Why were you thrashing about in your room, yeah?" asked a smirking teenaged boy. He had long blonde hair with it tied in a half ponytail. He wore a uniform too, consisting of navy pants, a long sleeved white collared shirt and a blue tie.
"I wasn't thrashing about!" Sakura answered back hotly.
"For that, you sure were making lots of noise, yeah," her brother, Haruno Deidara, answered back, smirk still in place.
"I was just walking like I usually do!"
Taking a sip of coffee, Deidara said, "When you walk, it sounds like some huge monster is strolling about, yeah."
Growling, Sakura walked forward towards her big brother stomping all the way, yelling that she was not a monster. Deidara's smirk got wider as he sat the coffee mug on Sakura's head while she flung her arms around trying to get it off without spilling it.
'Argh, Onii-chan is so mean, and always makes fun of me! Just because his a little tall and in the eleventh grade. Well someday I'm gonna become as huge as a telephone pole and … I'm gonna stomp on him!' Sakura thought determinedly.
"You two get along so well this early in the morning," said the kind voice of her father, Haruno Sasori. He's a college archaeology professor and his also good at cooking and sewing, though Sakura's happier with that he can cook a lot better then Deidara and herself.
Smiling Sasori placed her breakfast in front of Sakura, moving his red hair out of his way and smiled when Sakura complemented his cooking. The only person missing from this was her mother, Haruno Shizune, who died while Sakura was three. Thanking his father for the food, Deidara got up and was about to leave when Sakura interrupted him.
"You're going already?"
"Soccer practice this morning, yeah," Deidara said, accepting his lunch from Sasori. "Ja ne!"
When her brother was almost out the door she called, "Hey, Onii-Chan! Wait for me!"
She quickly ate all her food in record time and, thanking her father again, she grabbed her stuff and put her rollerblades on. Sakura looked around the front only to see that Deidara had already left.
"Where's Onii-chan?"
"He went ahead, do you have practice today?" Sasori asked, watching Sakura rush out of the gate.
"Hai! Ja ne Otou-san!"
Panting slightly, Sakura slowed down as she skated next to Deidara, who was riding on his bike. He was surprised and amused to see how quickly Sakura had caught up to him.
"You could've taken a little more time at home couldn't you, yeah?"
"But…"
Sakura smiled softly to herself, her brother always goes to school with him. Deidara just shook his head and looked up, smiling when he saw who was there.
"Kashi!"
Sakura looked up quickly when she heard her brother call out. At the next corner stood a boy standing next to a bike the same age as Deidara; he had silver hair which grew out lopsided to the left side of his face and a small scar over his left eye.
"Ohayou!" he called back, raising his hand in a wave.
Love hearts appeared in Sakura's eyes when the boy came into view. His name was Hatake Kakashi and was in the same school and year as Deidara. Slowing to a stop Deidara gave a short 'yo' in greeting and Sakura stopped next to him.
"Ohayou Deidara," Kakashi said. Turning to face Sakura he said, "Ohayou Sakura-chan, you're up early today."
"Hai!"
Deidara turned to see his sister's happy face with a smirking one of his own.
"Well, she did eat breakfast in five minutes…" he stopped and let out a small gasp of pain. Sakura fumed slightly as she kicked her brother hard in the leg, quickly smiling sweetly again when she faced Kakashi. He smiled back, both eyes crinkling as he did so (think of his 'happy eye' smile).
"You're cheerful as always, Sakura-chan."
'I still don't get how someone as nice as Kakashi-san can be friends with my brute of a brother…' Sakura thought as she skated along side Deidara and Kakashi.
"Ja ne, Sakura-chan," Kakashi said, interrupting her thoughts.
Looking up, Sakura realized that they had already reached her school. She slowed to a halt feeling sad that her trip to school with Kakashi (she purposely excluded her brother from her thoughts) had seemed so short. Leaning against the nearest wall, Sakura looked up in surprise as she heard Kakashi's voice drifting back to here.
"See you later," he called, while throwing a small candy, which Sakura caught.
"Kakashi-san," Sakura said softly, smiling in the direction he and Deidara had gone in.
"Slick move," a soft voice said beside Sakura, who jumped at the sudden appearance of her best friend.
"H-Hinata-chan!"
Hyuuga Hinata was in the same year and class as Sakura was. She had lavender, pupiless eyes (very different from Sakura's own jade), long black-blue hair (I'm going with the Shippunden version) and wore the same uniform as Sakura.
"That was a slick move of his, to hand you a gift just as he is leaving," Hinata said thoughtfully.
"Ohayou, Hinata-chan," Sakura said, laughing slightly.
Turning to face her, Hinata smiled and said, "Ohayou gozaimasu, Sakura-chan."
--
"You were so kawaii back there, Sakura-chan," Hinata said while she took her school shoes out of her locker. Sakura made a confused sound so Hinata elaborated. "How you held that candy with a dreamy look…"
"Um, Hinata-chan?" Sakura sweat dropped at Hinata, who know had her eyes closed. She opened them and turned to Sakura once more.
"I wish I could have recorded that moment on videotape or in a photograph!"
"Are you listening?"
'Hinata-chan still has a hobby of recording and taking photos then. I don't know why she likes to use me so much for it though,' she thought as Hinata was still in dream land.
"Oh, yes. I brought a new camcorder. Please let me film you again."
"Sure," Sakura said, a strange smile on her face from her friends antics. "But wouldn't it be better to film something more interesting then me?"
Laughing at the 'silly' thing her friend had asked, Hinata said, "There isn't anything more interesting, or kawaii, than you, Sakura-chan!"
Sakura fell anime style to the floor while Hinata walked to class stating that she would bring her new recorder then next day.
'I still think Hinata-chan is a little strange,' Sakura thought with a smile.
While the teacher read a passage from the book they were reading, Sakura started to absently draw the stuffed toy that had wound its way into her dream. Her mind flashed back to the strange dream and she wondered vaguely if the pink and yellow clad girl really was her. Hinata saw what she was drawing and smiled.
"That is a kawaii picture," she whispered. "What is it?"
"Well, today…"
"Now, Haruno-san," the teacher interrupted.
"Hai?"
"Can you read the next passage?"
"I'll tell you later," Sakura whispered.
"Read from line 12," Hinata whispered back.
"I'm home!"
Sakura looked around while she closed the door behind her, listening for Sasori or Deidara to reply. She quickly took off her blades, thinking about the strange thing that had happened in her cheerleading practice that day. While she was twirling and throwing the baton up, it almost looked like the strange pink staff she had seen in her dream.
Looking at the white board set up near the kitchen, Sakura saw that her dad would not be back until nine that night and that Deidara had more soccer practice that day. Smiling, she went to the fridge to get a snack that her dad had made earlier, but before she could get it she heard a strange noise. She followed the noise into Sasori's study, baton in hand, thinking that if there was someone there that she would call the police.
She turned on the lights and carefully walked between the rows of bookcases, following the noise that was slowly getting louder. When she came to the final turn she jumped forward, surprised and confused when she saw no one there. As Sakura looked around again, a book labeled 'The Clow' started to glow and as it grew brighter Sakura turned and cautiously walked towards the bright book.
As Sakura reached out to grab it, the glow disappeared, and she faltered slightly. Readying herself, Sakura reached again and this time pulled the book out of its place and stared as she recognized it as the one in her dream. Suddenly, the books lock snapped open and Sakura jumped and held the book away from her and when nothing else happened, she opened it.
Inside the cover was a scribbled note in another language and a large section of the book had a section cut out, made to fit the cards sitting inside. She pulled out the top card and stared at it; a strange women with her eyes closed was drawn on it and the bottom of the card said…
"Win…" Sakura started to say. "Lets see."
She started to walk, not noticing the strange mist left in her wake as she continued to try and read the cards name.
"Win… WINDY?"
As she said the name, the card began to glow and a miniature windstorm began to blow in the small study, activating and scattering the remaining cards. She fell down after realizing what had happened and yet another strange thing occurred. The book began to glow once more and the 'stuffed animal' from her dream began to emerge…
"KONICHIWAA!"
Sakura stared with shock and confusion as the small yellow 'toy' continued to speak.
"Well, I'm surprised that you were able to wake me up!" it said.
"A-an Osaka accent…?"
Crossing its arms the 'toy' spoke, "Well, this book was in Osaka for so long, I've caught the accent…"
It was cut off as Sakura grabbed it and started to poke around, looking for the switch.
"Where's the batteries? (HEY, whatcha doin'?) The switch? Where is the voice coming from?"
"I'm no toy!" he said, jumping away.
"I'm Naruto, the Fox Beast of the Seal who guards this book!"
"Seal…? Naruto…?" Sakura was confused.
"Yeah. Looking out for the cards in this book so they don't do anything bad is my…"
He stopped. The book had risen and opened while he had been talking, and Naruto only just seemed to notice something odd about the book full of cards.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! The cards are gone! Why, why? Where did they go!?"
Sakura looked at the Windy card in her hand and held it out.
"This?"
Naruto took the card grinning. "This! This! Yeah, this! And the other cards?" he looked expectantly at Sakura.
"I read, WINDY…"
"Yeah?"
"And there was a sudden gust of wind…"
"Yeah, yeah?"
"And they all flew away," she finished, laughing nervously.
"I see…"
They both started laughing hard until it clicked to Naruto what she had said…
"WHAT!?"
Dinner found Sakura once again eating in a fast pace and all Deidara could do was stare as his pink headed sister scoffed her food down.
"Arigato, that was good."
Sakura grabbed the treat from the fridge that she was going to eat earlier and left for her bedroom.
"Where are you taking that, yeah?" Deidara called, as he ate his food at a more leisurely pace.
"I'm gonna eat it in my room as I study," she called back.
When Sakura got into her room, she found Naruto glowing, searching for the missing cards.
"Any luck?"
"No good," he said sighing. "I can't tell where the cards are at all."
Sakura placed the sweet in front of Naruto, "Here."
"This looks delicious!" he said with a grin. It faded as he continued though. "There were Clow Cards in this book."
"Clow Cards?"
"Clow Cards… when the Seal on them is broken, a catastrophe will befall this world. Those cards were special cards made by an amazing sorcerer named Clow Reed. Each card is alive, and possesses incredible powers, but they all like acting on their own, and normal forces are no match for them. So, Clow himself created this book and placed me the Beast of the Seal on the books front cover. In any case we have to get the cards back," he finished, pointing the spoon at Sakura. "So you're coming with me."
"What? Why me?" Sakura asked, shocked by her sudden involvement.
"You're the one that scattered the cards with the WINDY spell," Naruto answered.
Sakura wasn't going to let all the blame be placed on her.
"But wasn't it your job to keep those cards sealed away?" she challenged, crossing her arms.
"Well, I accidentally fell asleep."
"For how long?"
"About 30 years," Naruto said sheepishly.
Sakura looked at him in disbelief, "And you call yourself the Beast of the Seal?"
"Stuff happens! All right!" he yelled defensively.
"So those noises were just snores," Sakura said, shaking her head.
"In any case, the fact that you could open this book means that you at least have some magic powers. What's your name?" Naruto asked, getting back to business.
"Sakura."
"All right, Sakura. Stand over there."
He pointed to the middle of her room and she move accordingly. As Naruto began to glow once more, the room seemed to disappear and a large circle full of symbols appeared.
"Key of the Seal," Naruto began, a small key appearing as he talked. "There is someone wishing for a contract with you. A girl. Her name is Sakura. Oh Key, grant her the power! RELEASE!"
The key suddenly began to grow and morphed into the staff she saw in her dreams.
"Sakura, grab the staff!"
Walking forward, Sakura grabbed the staff and it grew to its correct length.
"All right!" Naruto yelled happily. "It's the birth of a Cardcaptor!"
"I'm absolutely, positively sure that I can't do it!"
Sakura was blow drying her after the quick bath she had taken and was trying to convince Naruto that she couldn't do what he asked. She was just a school girl for crying out loud! Mean while Naruto was jumping on her bed, having the time of his life.
"Wow, this is so fluffy!"
For the second time that day, Sakura swiped him from the air. "I know I can't become a Cardcaptor."
"Cardcaptor. The one who captures Clow Cards. Doesn't that sound cool?"
"I'm just a normal grade-school girl!" she protested. "Even though you said something about a catastrophe on this world –"
"Who was it that scattered the cards using this?" Naruto said smartly ( O.o ), holding the Windy card.
"And who was it that was sleeping instead of guarding the cards?" Sakura countered, taking the Windy card.
Just then a large gust of wind and a loud bird call interrupted the two. Quickly, they ran to Sakura's window, only to see a giant bird fly over head.
"What's that?"
"A Clow Card! That's probably the Fly card."
Naruto got fed up with Sakura's impressed stare and decided to take action.
"Hey, this is no time to be impressed. Get ready!"
"For what?" Sakura asked, glancing at Naruto unsurely.
"The first job for Cardcaptor Sakura!" Naruto cheered.
"WHAT?!"
Sakura was rollerblading as fast as she could to get to the winged card. It wasn't that hard to find really, it was big enough to see out of the town and Sakura was surprised that no one else could tell it was there.
"Why in my pajamas?" Sakura called to Naruto, who was flying beside her.
"What's the world's on Cardcaptor saying?" he said back in as much disbelief as he could.
When they caught up Sakura skidded to a halt and stared at the giant bird in front of her. It was taller then the buildings surrounding it and was a white-blue in colour with red eyes. Sakura gulped as she looked up at it.
"I can't catch something that huge!" she cried.
"Why are you acting so wimpy?" Naruto yelled back, losing his patience.
The winged card let out another call and used part of its powers to create a gust of wind, pushed out by its wings, sending both Sakura and Naruto flying. Just as Sakura began to fall towards the ground, Naruto caught her and slowly brought her back down. As she landed, Naruto decided that something needed to be done.
"Sakura! Your magic!" he said. "The key! Do just as I told you earlier."
She nodded and pulled out the small key from her pocket and chanted the spell Naruto had told her, and Clow's magic circle began to appear.
"The Key which hides powers of the Dark!
Show your true powers before me!
I, Sakura, command you under our contract!
RELEASE!"
Once more the staff enlarged itself in Sakura's hand as she prepared to somehow seal the card away. Naruto flew next to her for some quick advice.
"Ok, Sakura, the FLY card is attributed to wind. You should be able to capture it with the WINDY card you have now."
"Are you sure?" she asked, unconvinced.
"In any case, we have to get closer."
At a sound from Fly's area, the two gasped as the bird began to head in their direction. They both turned and began to skate and fly in the other direction, only to have to swap sides as the Fly swooped down at them.
"You need to use WINDY now, Sakura!" Naruto yelled.
"But how I am now… I can't!"
"The point of being the Cardcaptor is to figure out stuff like this!"
Suddenly something clicked in Sakura's mind and she turned around sharply and began to skate at a high speed up the ramp like wall next to her. Using her momentum she managed to land on the birds back, and she gripped on tightly, Naruto yelling at her when Fly blew him away again. Up in the air, Sakura spoke to Windy before calling her forth.
"Wind, become a binding chain … WINDY!" as she spoke Clow's circle appeared once more and as she yelled the cards name she pined it with her staff as Windy emerged and wrapped itself around Fly's body. Unable to use its wings, the bird fell to the ground with a loud thud and Sakura sealed it off.
"Return to the guise you were meant to be in! CLOW CARD!"
Fly was sucked towards the staffs point and began to form a card shape, slowly becoming solid. As it fell to the ground so did Sakura, and Naruto quickly made his way down to her level.
"Nice going, Sakura!" he said proudly.
Looking up, Sakura yelled, "I thought I was gonna die!"
"Nothing less from the Cardcaptor that I scouted," he said as he patted her on the head.
"As I've been saying, I never said I would!"
"Well you did capture this card. Why don't you try it out now?"
"What can this do?"
"Well, try it," urged Naruto.
"FLY!" Sakura yelled.
Soon she was in the air, wings having appeared on the 'head' of her staff. She looked around at her town, marveling at how high she was.
"How is it? Doesn't it feel good?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah!"
"I'll enjoy working with you, Cardcaptor Sakura!" Naruto said with a grin.
"Yeah," Sakura paused.
"I've been saying, I didn't say I'll do it!"
Hi all! I'm back again! Bloody hell this took me a long time to do, 12 pages long! I really hope you enjoy this, I won't know if you do unless you review! Please do so, I want to know how I did, I'll accept light criticism but no hell huge flames here ok? Thanks!
