What I wouldn't Give.
By: Trulie Hope
Hey all!! Well, this is my first fan-fic for CCS (and my first fan-fic ever. Wow! I'm so proud) so don't kill me if it sucks. I have no idea when (ya know, after which cards and all that) this fic takes place, cause I've only seen one of the episodes!! I am using Japanese names and kun, chan, ect. even though I know very little about it. I got all the info from my friend, so kill her, not me. Wait, ya can't do that cause then I'd be a loner!! Oh yeah, this is dedicated to her (like she cares.) Anyways. I could keep typing all this stupid stuff that you could probably care less about, but then you'd never get to the actual story!
***DISCLAIMER***
Who knows what I'm gonna say here? Hmm, I wonder. I don't own Card Captor Sakura or any of the characters or anything like that. Wait, I do own the story line (how can you own a story line?!) So please don't sue me!! I have very little money and everything I make is going towards my car, so please, be kind!!
*Okay, may we have a drum role please..*
No reply, Trulie glares at the deserted set of drums. *Sigh, can't get good help these days* walks to a drum and does it for herself.
*And here it is! Chapter one of my very first fic!!!***
Hold up, you all know that AN means Author's note right? No? Well now you do.
What I wouldn't Give.

Chapter One: Uninvited Guests
"Li Syaroan, I am coming. this time you will not escape . I am coming."
A sixteen year old teen shot up in bed, panting heavily and grasping the pendant around his next.
The fourth time this week I've had this dream. Why do I keep having this same dream, over and over? What are they supposed to mean? He wondered, pushing his every messy brown hair off his forehead. All ready the details of his dream were beginning to slip from his memory and he struggled to call then back, but it didn't work. His dream had been terrible and frightening, that much he knew, someone was in danger. Him? No, he'd been in danger capturing cards many times before and never had this feeling. Someone else was in peril, someone who meant the world to him, a certain green eyed girl he'd known for six years.
"Sakura." He muttered, seeing her image flash before his open eyes. And someone was trying to hurt her. Syaroan felt the rage boil up inside him. No one would hurt his cherry blossom, no one. But how could he fight against something when he didn't know what it was, or how to defeat it? His dreams were the answer, obviously, but he couldn't remember them!
"Why is this happening!! What do these dreams mean!!!" He yelled in frustration, slamming his balled fists onto the bed.
"These are not dreams, Li-san (AN: sorry if that's not the right way to say it, but is sounds good =!) Perhaps this revelation will help you in your search."
The young warrior jerked around, drawing his sword from his pendant and holding it in a defensive stance as he turned to face the origin of the voice.
"Who are you!" He demanded, "Show yourself!"
"Open your eyes, Li-san. I am right here."
Syaroan turned towards his right and his eyes met a set of cold gray ones. A man stood in front of him. He looked to be around thirty with gray hair and an icy aurora the same color. "You don't remember me? Look closer."
An image flashed before his mind, part of his dream. And the man had been.
"You." He growled, "Leave Sakura alone."
He laughed in a dry tone. "Why would I want her, although she is rather pretty."
Li gripped his sword tighter and attacked. The sword, however, went right through the figure, leaving him unharmed.
This time the man chuckled in amusement, "You can't hurt me, Li-san. But no, it is not her I want, but you."
He was confused, but didn't show it. "What do you want from me?"
"I want you, to serve me. Your skill would defiantly benefit my forces."
"Never." He spat.
The man nodded. "I figured I would hear that response from you. But just because I don't want your little cherry-blossom doesn't mean I can't use her. I know for a fact that you would trade your very sole to save her."
"Don't! Leave Sakura out of this." He replied angrily, "I'll. I'll battle you. You have magic, I know. We will battle, if you defeat me I will go with you. If I win, then you'll leave me alone, whoever you are."
The other smirked. "I usually don't make deals, I don't need to. But this should be interesting to see. Tomorrow night at the park. Penguin Park (AN: That's the name for it in the English version, in the Japanese Version it's .? Sorry, don't know!!!) I believe."
"It's a deal."
"Then until tomorrow, Li Syaroan, until tomorrow time." And the figure disappeared in an explosion of magic.
Syaroan starred at the space where the figure had stood. Who was that? I understand what he wants, but why? I'm not that special, am I? That was a lie, he knew. As future head of the Li Clan he had been forced to learn the art of fighting. And, not surprisingly, he had excelled. I can beat him, I know I can. I just hope he keeps his end of the bargain. He was worried about Sakura, and what the man would do to her.
"Li-kun, are you all right? Li-kun? Syaroan-kun? Syaroan?"
"Huh? Sakura?" Syaroan looked up and was surrounded by a powerful pink aurora and two dazzling pull of emerald filled with worry. "Are you all right Li-kun?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. What are you uh. doing here?"
"Capturing a card, brat (AN: That is what he calls him, right?), what's it to you?" demanded the small, yellow animal that floated through the room after her.
"Actually, stuffed animal, it is something to me because you're in my apartment."
"I'm sorry, Li-kun. But I sensed a strong magical force come from here, a couple of seconds ago, and then it was gone. Did something happen?"
"Uh. No Sakura, everything's fine."
He could tell by her expression that she knew he was lying, but she was too polite to question him further. "Are you sure you're feeling okay, Li-kun? You look a bit red, do you have a fever?"
Damn, why can't I control my blushing?! He demanded of himself, turning even redder as she put a hand to his forehead to check his temperature.
"I'm fine Sakura, really." He insisted.
"Are you sure? You feel warm."
"It's just a bit warm in here, don't you think?" Syaroan replied, trying not to think about her hand, which was still on his forehead.
"Kawaii!" (AN: if it's misspelled, many sorries!) Came a squeal from the doorway. Both people (and Kero) turned towards the doorway only to see a slim girl with long, dark hair looking towards then with a small black camera plastered to her face.
"Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura exclaimed, finally taking her hand from Syaroan's face and glancing towards her friend, "what are you doing in Li- kun's apartment?"
"Taping you of course, Sakura-chan. You and Li-kun are so kawaii!" She twittered happily as she momentarily went starry-eyed.
Syaroan finally got over his embarrassment and cleared his throat. Both girls turned to look at him expectantly.
"Is something wrong, Li-kun?" Wondered Tomoyo.
"Yes. I was kind of wanted to go to sleep and." He paused, hoping they'd take a hint.
"Oh, sorry Li-kun!" Exclaimed Sakura, "Come on Kero-chan. Tomoyo- chan, would you like to come over to sleep and my house?"
"Oh, no thank-you Sakura-chan. My mother is waiting for me, so I should probably go. Bye Sakura-chan, Li-kun. See you at school tomorrow!" And as suddenly as she arrived, Tomoyo disappeared from the room.
Sakura watched her friend leave than turned back to Syaroan. "Well, Li-kun, I'll leave you alone now. I'm glad everything is all right, see you at school tomorrow."
"Bye Sakura." He replied, not meting her eyes because if he did, he knew he'd turn into a tomato.
However, she didn't leave.
"Sakura, are you all right?" Syaroan wondered.
"Huh? Oh, I'm fine Li-kun." She replied, shooting him one of her brilliant smiles. Syaroan felt his face heat up and looked away. "I just thought I felt a magical presence."
That caught his attention. "What kind of magic?"
"It felt like the same kind I felt here, at you apartment."
Damn, that thing better keep its distance from Sakura.
"You didn't feel anything Li?" She wondered in a confused tone, "Hmm, maybe I was imagining it. I can't feel it anymore."
"Come on Sakura-chan, I didn't feel nothing. Plus, I want my pudding!" Kero whined.
Sakura sighed. "All right Kero. Bye Li-kun. I'll see you tomorrow." Again she smiled, called out her star-wand and the fly card. "Fly-card, release!" Wings sprouted on the end of her wand and she got onto it, waving to Syaroan as she flew out the window and into they sky beyond.
Syaroan watched the sky until her silhouette disappeared behind a line of trees. He loved her so much, and he always had. It had just taken him six years to realize it.
He sighed, maybe he'd tell her tomorrow. Not likely; almost every night he'd fall asleep and wake-up thinking the same thing. With a second sigh, he lay back down in his bed. He'd need his rest for tomorrow.
~Sakura's POV (sorta.)~
"Kero-chan, I don't understand it. I felt magic, and it wasn't Li- kun's." Sakura said, lying on her back and looking up at the ceiling. "What do you think it was Kero-chan? Kero? KERO!"
"Huh? What is it Sakura?" He didn't wait for an answer. His face was still turned towards the small television screen where graphics were moving quickly across the screen. "Whatever it is, can't it wait? I'm right in the middle of my. HEY!! WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR!!! THAT"s THE HIGHEST LEVEL I"VE EVER GOTTEN TO!!" Kero sobbed.
Sakura held the plug to the t.v. in one hand. "You weren't listening to me, I had no other choice."
Kero whipped his tears away, his faced set in a pout. "Okay. What do you want?"
"Why did I feel magic and you and Li-kun didn't."
"I don't know, Sakura. Maybe it was just your imagination."
"I don't think so, Kero-chan. I was sure I felt something like. Hey, I feel it again. Can you sense that Kero?"
"I don't feel a think Sakura."
"Shh, it's getting closer."
"I think you're losing it Sakura."
Sakura silenced him with a look and summoned her wand.
She was bombarded with a magical force so strong that she fell backwards onto her bed. When she looked up, a tall, gray haired man was standing in her room. "Hello? Who are you?" Sakura demanded.
The man grinned, his aura flaring. "Sakura, little cherry-blossom, you are mine."
