The Darkenders

Sakura once had been at the top of her class. Never taking chances and focusing on the things she wanted! (Popular Friends, Cheerleading, and martial arts.) Then a day on the wrong side of the city, she met up with the Darkenders. They would show her what she could really do with that talent of martial arts and leave popular friends and cheerleading behind forever. Here is her story of becoming one of the Darkenders and finding what true love is!

Sakura placed her hot pink top on her bed beside her dark blue jeans. Then she chose sling back sandals and the other hair accessories she needed. Then Sakura went down stairs and grabbed a seat next to her older brother who had just gotten home from his late job. "Are you coming to the game tonight at Shacktown high? I'm going to main star next to Rika, Tonla, Matila and the rest of the group!" Sakura said as she finished her yogurt and cereal. Toya looked up from the newspaper and said, "Sorry Kiddo I got a job meeting and that means you got to get a ride home!" "Sure, I can get a ride home with maybe Rika!" she said a little disappointed.

Sakura finished her meal and ran upstairs to get the bathroom before Toya would move in and then she got dressed and ran out the door. Her red convertible sat in the front driveway ready for her. She jumped in and drove to school getting there just in time to get a good parking spot next to Rika's jag and Tonla's jeep. She got out of it just as Rika did and they both looked at each other and laughed at the same time as if some inside joke came to mind.

Sakura with Rika, Tonla and Matila walked into the school. All were wearing closely the same thing with blue jeans and ever color t-shirt that represented them. Rika and Sakura headed towards history. Tonla went to French with Matila. Rika made it to the second row and then stared at blond head boy in the 3rd row. "Hey, Sakura look at that one! He's a winner! How about him?" Rika asked in a whisper. Sakura half nodded and then stared at the guy for a half a second before Mr. Lamark shouted, "Ms. Sakura please take a seat in the 5th row and Ms. Rika you in the 2nd row. I will not have you two distracting my class again! Those seats will be you permanent places for the rest of the year!"

Rika sat down in front of the hot blond and smiled at him. Sakura stared at the corner seat in the 5th row. She saw what she dreaded the most all of the Darkenders sat back there and they were bad. Their leader Eriol sat in front of Sakura's new seat. Then Syoran or "Li" sat beside her and Tomoyo sat on her other side. "Please Ms. Sakura, sit down!" Mr. Lamark said. Sakura nodded and swung her purse to her shoulder, and then sat next to the Darkenders. All of class, Sakura felt nervous and weird.

She looked down at her history book at least 3 times and then focused on the growing pain of Eriol in front of her blocking her view of the board. The bell rang and Sakura bolted from her seat avoiding Eriol, Li or Tomoyo.

*At Lunch* Sakura sat at her normal table eating peanut butter sandwich and listening to her friend's endless gossip. Rika looked up and said, "Are you even listening Sakura?" "I don't really feel good I think I will get some fresh air Rika!" Sakura mumbled. She threw away the rest of her lunch and walked to her locker and pulled out her martial arts book and headed outside. Her friends hated her reading that stuff and practicing it all the time. Since her thoughts were clouded up from being placed with the Darkenders for history, she totally forgot to ask for a ride home from Rika. This was the only way she would be ready for the game tonight!

Sakura did her high kick and double flip slash and then her triple kick ending with a back forward flip. She breathed in the cool air and then watched out of the corner of her eyes two figures staring. Eriol Hiiragisawa and Tomoyo Daidouji watched and then clapped when she finally noticed them. "Not bad Cheerleader!" yelled Tomoyo who then smirked and grabbed Eriol's arm and pulled him away to their hangout. Sakura stared at the shrinking figures and then turned to find her friends glaring. "What are you doing Sakura!" yelled Tonla. Sakura looked in the direction of where Eriol and Tomoyo had gone her eyes lingering on the though of maybe she would be free like them someday.

Sakura turned to her friends and grinned. "It's the only way I could be relaxed for the game that's all!" "Ok, Sakura whatever makes you ready for the game that's ok I guess just don't do it here again!" Rika answered for Tonla. The group got into there cars, except Sakura who rode on the bus because her brother didn't like her leaving her car at unknown schools. It was a stupid rule but she always fallowed it.

The school bus arrived at Shacktown High really late. She had thought that she had already missed the cheerleading opening and she knew her friends would never forgive her for this one. As she crossed the street towards the football field, Rika was standing at the gate with tears in her eyes. Sakura saw her and then ran to her best friend. "What's wrong Rika what's wrong!" Rika backed up and then screamed, trying to tell her everything. "Sakura, Tonla and Matila got in the middle of the brawl! Tonla got really hurt, and Matila was rushed to the hospital. The Darkenders came to the game they didn't start it but the Black Bears they they hit Eriol Hiiragisawa and it was horrible! Now 10 people are in the hospital and I had to wait for you so we could go there tougher." Sakura shook her head. " I can't go to the hospital. I have had really bad experiences there and there is no way I'm going there." Rika nodded and said, "I'll call you with a up date then." Then she grabbed her bag, hugged Sakura and went to her jag and left.

Sakura turned to head for the bus but to her surprise the bus was gone already. Sakura placed her bag down on the ground and sat on it. "What am I going to do now?" she thought. "My car is at school and my cell phone is dead." She thought. Sakura walked toward the Shacktown High school office when a car that had the "Black Bear" sign on its side hit her the lights flashing in her eyes as her body slammed onto the top of the car and then she collapsed sliding off the windshield with her world going black.

The cold airs made her move her to the other side of her body. She opened her eyes very slowly, she saw a boy with brown shaggy hair talking to a girl with only strait black hair. "Li, do you think she will be ok?" Meiling asked. Li nodded, "Meiling trust me this girl is a fighter and she will probably do just fine." Sakura monad and then sat up, her eyes adjusting better then before. Tomoyo and Eriol came over to where Meiling and Li were. Tomoyo talked first looking over Sakura's outfit, the pink and yellow were connected with spirals on her top and the bottom too. "Sakura Kinomoto, I think you need to focus a little better before I make my offer." Sakura nodded and Li handed her some tea. "Ok now that your woken up I will give you my offer! The black bears are very dangerous and you darling are in even more trouble with them because you were in their way when they were trying to escape the cops!" Sakura's eyes went large and then she nodded, words were not working for her. "Now you have a choice Sakura, One you can wait until they come for you and kill you or you can join the Darkenders!" Sakura dropped the tea from her hand and everyone was staring at Tomoyo even Eriol.

Sakura finally spoke, "I guess I will join the Darkenders! I can show you guys some martial arts moves I guess!" Tomoyo nodded and she said on thing thou. "One little thing thou Sakura, you must drop cheerleading!" Sakura looked at the floor, "If my life is in jeopardy then I will do it!" "Also Sakura you will move into Li's mansion!" Li glared at Tomoyo who only grinned.
