The Tournament

By: Tehgan Vick 4/4/02



1.1 Sakura sat on the step of her new house. Wishing had never of left her old one. Sakura was now 15. She missed her old life. Especially when she was 11. How she had lived in a magical world. How she was the star. And how she had made some new friends. It has been 4 years sense the day Tomoyo had been accepted at Miller River High Private School for Girls. 4 years sense Kero went back into the book of Clow and left her. 4 years sense Syaron and Meling went back to Hong Kong. She was alone now. She was soon going to be going back to school. But not her old school. No. Not the school that all her friends. All the people she cared about. She was going to a new school. She was a New World. Nothing of what she new. She was going to East Rule Middle School.

1.2 Sakura sat on the steps of her new home. Hugging her knees and rocking back and forth. She was scared about tomorrow. Tomorrow was the first day of school. She hugged her knees tighter and held her breath. It was cold outside. The sun was just starting to rise over the trees, turning the sky pink (her favorite color), orange, and purple. She sighed and then stood up. Trying to enjoy what there was of Massachusetts. She never wanted to leave Japan. Why her father wanted to she had no idea. "Why leave Japan and go to Massachusetts?" she thought as she threw a rock across the street. "Why America?" Sakura turned around and walked inside.

1.3 It was much, much warmer inside than out. Sakura walked into the kitchen and grabbed some chocolate pudding. She walked up the stairs and went into her room. She slammed her door shut, and the sign on the back of it that read: KNOCK FIRST, fell to the floor without a sound.

1.4 Sakura plopped onto her bed and groaned. She sat up and looked at the pudding that was in her hand. She remembered how she would always bring dessert from dinner up stairs and give it to Kero, who would eat it in a heartbeat. She smiled at the thought of him taking a spoon, that was as big as him, and filling himself up with pudding and cake. She slowly pealed off the top wrapper and dipped her finger in the pudding. It was slimy. She started to eat the pudding when there was a knock at her window. She dropped the pudding and stared at the window. "I don't know anybody, who could be at my window." She thought. She saw a shadow move across it. She reached over to the night table and picked up her mirror. She slowly walked over to the window. She put her hand around the curtain, and took a deep breath, then pulled it open and raised the mirror.

1.5 Sweat drop " good morning Sakura! I didn't know that you were up yet! Sorry if I woke you!" said Sakuras father. " What?" asked Sakura. She couldn't hear him because the window was down. she pulled up the window, " what Papa?" she asked. " I said I didn't know if your were up yet. Sorry if I had woken you." Answered papa. "Oh! What are you doing papa? Why are you the ladder? How does it reach way up here?" Sakura looked down from her window. It was a long ways up. She had no clue how the ladder had reached all the way up here. " Oh this? (Raised the paint can and paint brush) I'm painting the house. The paints coming off. And I want our house to look nice." Sakura looked back up at him. " Go get dressed Sakura. (He said while painting around the window) take a shower then come outside. You can help me with some of the chores." Sakuraa groaned. " Okay…" she shut the window just as her father splashed some paint on it, and closed the curtains. She threw her mirror on her bed and took some clothes out of her dresser drawer. She opened her bedroom door and dropped her clothes that were in her hands. A man stood in front of her.

1.6 "Hello." The man said. "H…hi." Replied Sakura startled. " Sorry for scaring you. I'm your neighbor. Mr.Walkins. Are your parent's home? Whereas your mother? And your father?" Sakura looked at her clothes that were on the floor. "Papa is outside my bedroom window painting." " Oh redecorating?" "Not really. He's just repainting the house." "Oh. What about your mother?" " She's dead." "Oh, well I'll let you gone with what you were doing young Sakura. Good day to you!" the man walked down the stairs and out the front door. She heard him yelling out to her father saying hello. "Okay…freaky old man though." She thought.

1.7 Sakura picked up her clothes and hurried to the bathroom. "ah..." she sighed with her back pressed against the back of the door. She set her clothes on the counter and undressed herself. She looked at herself in the mirror. She had grown a lot. She used to be short, and now she was 5'1. She had gained a little weight over the years and developed much more also. But she was still not a woman. She sighed and turned the shower on. She stepped in. "aah! To hot!" she screeched. She sighed of relief and filled her hand up with shampoo. Her hair was longer. But she was going to cut it before tomorrow. She didn't like long hair that much. Sense she liked sports. It always got in her way. She finished her shower and stepped out. She reached out to the towel rack and moved her hand around. Nothing. "Oh no…" she thought. She looked over and there were no towels. "Great…" she jumped around and shook her head like a dog trying to air dry, but it didn't work. She took a deep breath and opened the bath room door just a little. She peered out in the hall. No one. She slipped into the hall and ran to the closet as fast as she could. She opened it and grabbed a towel. She wrapped it around herself when Mr. Walkins came into the hall. "Ah!" yelled Mr. Walkings. " EEK!" screeched Sakura. She ran to the bathroom grabbed her clothes and ran to her room. She pried open her door and slammed it shut. She jumped onto her bed and lay there.

1.8 " WHY! Pant Why is he in my house! Does he not knock! GRR! Pant" Sakura yelled into her pillow. She took in a deep breath. And started to doze off.

1.9 " Hi Sakura!" yelled a boy's voice. "huh?" Sakura looked up from her pillow. A young boy about her age looked down at her. " How did you get into my room? Who are you?" " Your room?" the boy asked. " We are at school Sakura! And it's me! Syaron!" Sakura had the look of panic on her face. "S…s…school? Oh no! I don't want to go to school! I won't fit in! I'm Japanese! Not American! Oh Syaron you have to help me!" " huh? Sakura… we are in Japan. At our school. What are you talking about?" "What?" Sakura looked around. He was right. They were at their school. In Japan. "But! I moved! To America! This cant be! You cant be! No way!" Sakura stood up. Her towel fell to the ground. But she wasn't naked. No. She was wearing her school uniform. " What?!?!?" sakura was freaking out. " Hey! Pose for me sakura!" yelled a girl from behind her. It was Tomoyo. She had her video camera in her hand. "Tomoyo!" screamed Sakura. " But your in Japan! In the private school! This is impossible!" "I guess the ground is more comfortable than it looks." Said a voice in front of Sakura. She looked up and it was Meling. " How can this be? How can you be standing in front of me!" "Easy! I walk in front of you baka!" yelled Meling. " Don't be so mean Meling." Tomoyo said politely. " She probably got hit on the head with a rock or something." " NO! YOU'RE NOT REAL! I MOVED! TO AMERICA! I CAPTURED ALL THE CARDS!" " No you didn't!" Meling yelled. "AND I HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL TOMORROW! THIS CANT BE! NO NO NO!" Sakura took one step back. " No sakura! Don't leave me again!" Tomoyo screamed. Sakura fell into a ditch. She was falling. But she wasn't slowing down either. She was screaming. "NOOOOO!" and then… sakura flinched. She opened her eyes. She was covered with sweat. "It was a dream…" she said aloud. She touched her chest. She was still wearing her towel. She sighed again and stood up. She took off her towel. She ran her hands down her body and said "why am I so tiny?" She took her under wear and bra and slipped them on. Then her baggy purple pants with the black tie, and her baggy black band T-shirt. She slipped on fish net gloves that she made, that went all up her arm. She put her hair up in a bun. She put n some white socks. She put on some sneakers and ran down stairs.

1.10 She walked out the front door and yelled to her father. " What you need help with dad!" " Making dinner." He said. He was standing behind her. " Sorry I took long dad. I fell asleep." She said while turning around to face him. " You slept for a long time Sakura. It's now 5:30 p.m.! Now go to the grocery store, and when you come back make dinner. IM going to be asleep." He said that while hand her a piece of paper and walking into the house. "Oho…" she groaned. She ran back inside and got her skates. She put them on and skated to the store. She got what she needed left then made dinner. It took her a while to make dinner because she kept burning the food. "Dinners done!" she yelled as her father came walking down the stairs. " No need to wake the neighbors now." They sat down at the table and started to eat. They used spoons and forks. Sakura poked herself a couple of times. But the hang of it in a jiffy.

1.11 " Go to bed now Sakura." Her father said. " But!" " No buts you have to get up at 5:30 a.m. to get on the bus! So go to bed!" Sakura grunted and walked upstairs. She took off her clothes and climbed into bed wearing only her under clothes. She closed her eyes and tried not to think about the next day. She fell asleep. But didn't dream.









































1.12 The next day Sakura awoke to the sound of her alarm clock. "Oh! Shush up!" she threw the clock across the room. She sat up and walked to the bathroom she cut her hair and took a shower. Walked back into her room to change. She wore baggy blue Jean pants, a red T-shirt, and normal sneakers. She put her hair up like she always used to when she was young. She grabbed her backpack and walked to the bus stop. There was another girl there. She had long black hair that went to her butt. She was wearing a mini skirt that was red and a black shirt that said: Caution! Boy friend at risk! She had on boots. She stood there not saying a word. Then she looked at Sakura. "You live close to here?" she asked. "HUH? Oh yes, just down the street." " Oh. I live up the street." The bus interrupted "What's y…" but Sakura. It came to a stop. The girl and Sakura climbed on. Sakura sat in seat 22, and the girl sat in seat 26.

1.13 The bus came to a stop at a huge building. Sakura looked up at it. Her head went all the way up. " They don't have buildings like this in Japan!" she thought to herself. All the students climbed off the busses. Sakura stood there just watching all the kids walking by. She took a piece of paper out of her pocket an and walked to the lockers. "Locker 113, locker 113." She said aloud. " That's this locker!" Said a girl behind her. " IM your locker neighbor. HI" Sakura looked at the girl she had long grayish purple hair. She was pale. She was wearing tight bellbottoms that were sparkly and a pink spaghetti strap shirt with a baby turtle on it. She had a headband in her hair. " Hi!" Sakura said back to her. " A hem! You are in my way! Move!" Sakura looked to her right and a boy was looking at her. Her was wearing baggy black shorts, and a baggy orange shirt. He had a skateboard in one hand and a helmet in the other. "Oh! Sorry!" Sakura moved away from his locker to her own. "So…" said the girl. "Are you new here?" she asked Sakura. " Yeah! I just moved here from Japan!" "Really? IM from Japan too! I came from a Private school." "Me and my cousin are both from Japan also." Said the boy with his arm around the girl at sakuras bus stop. " What a cowincadince!" The girl under his arm said. " Yeah! What's your guy's names?" asked Sakura's locker neighbor. " I'm Syaron." Said the boy. " I'm Meling" said his cousin while raising her hand. " I'm Sakura what's your name?" "I'm Tomoyo." They all looked stunned at their names. " Meling and I got to get to class bye!" the boy took Meling and ran. Sakura and Tomoyo left without saying a word.

1.14 At the end of the school day, Meling was eyeing Sakura sucpiously. Making her feel uncomfortable. Sakura got off the bus and ran as fast as she could home. She got to the house and sighed with great relief that her father was not home. She walked inside and went straight to her room. She threw her book bag down on the floor and jumped onto her bed. She was breathing hard. "Could that had been them for real?" she asked herself. " Meling looked so much the same, but also so much different. And Tomoyo looks great! And Syaron… he's kind of cute! But… is that really them?" she stopped thinking right then about them because she heard a noise come from her dresser drawer. She walked over to it. And opened it slowly. " KERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" her screams could be heard a mile away. " Sakura? Wow! You look different! "What are you doing here Kero! How did you…why did you…huh?" "I'm afraid we have some training to do Sakura." Kero said while flying out of the drawer. "And you'll need these to help you." He held out his little stuffed paws and The Book of Clow appeared in them. "The Clow Cards!" "But why Kero?" she said while taking the book and opening it. " I know the cards feel distant right now. I feel the same thing. But, take out your key.(Sakura ran to her night table and got the necklace.)Now Sakura, this is gonna take a lot of energy out of you, so be careful.("okay." Sakura said quietly.) Say these words. 'My key I take, you in my hand, for cards do not obey comand, change their view with powers so bright, release the star! Into the night! Release!' okay Sakura?" "All right Kero…" She took in a deep breath and held the key away from her in her hand. "My key I take you in my hand. For cards do not obey comands. Change their view with powers so bright. RELEASE THE STAR! INTO THE NIGHT! RELEASE!" They key flew out of her hand and turned into a pink staff with a star in the middle. " WOW!" Sakura was amazed. " okay Sakura here come the hard part. You have to turn the cards into your cards." question mark " what do you mean Kero?" " Say these words. 'Oh crads of energy cards of light, use my power that burns so bright. Turn yourself to my light! SAKURA CARD!' Okay? Got that?" "All righty Kero…" She held out her new staff and said those words. All the cards turned pink. Sakura fell to the floor. "Sakura! Are you okay?" Kero asked. " I'm just…oh! Wow!" she looked at the cards that were now pink and were floating around her.

1.15 "So, it is you Sakura! You have the necklace! Are you going to be in the tournament too? Did Kero come and tell you? When are you going to train?" " What tournament? Yes Kero came. I don't know when im going to train but I don't know what for." " You'll find out soon then!" At school, Syaron, Meling, Tomoyo, and Sakura always hung out. But after about 5 months of school a new girl came. But she wasn't just any new girl. Meling, and Syaron both had an uneasy feeling about her. She had long, long, long white blonde hair, pale blue eyes, pale skin, she was short 4'9, but developed, she wore a checkerd red and black skirt, white stockings, little shiny black shoes, a white shirt, and a black tie. " I don't see why she must be so bad Syaron. She looks nice to me. We should invite her over." Tomoyo said to Syaron as they were sitting in the grass in front of the school. " If you want to." He replied. Tomoyo walked over and invited her. She followed behind her. " Everybody! This is Yuki!" Tomoyo said to them. " This is Sakura(points to her and she waves) Meling(she smiles) Syaron(nods) and I'm Tomoyo." "Hi…" she said in a really quiet voice. Tomoyo sat down on the grass. "So. Have you made any friends yet?" Syaron asked her. " I don't know. Im not very good at socailizing." Yuki looked down at Sakura. She looked at her necklace. " Oh! That's a very pretty necklace Sakura." "Thanks." "I must get going now.(her eyes still fixed on Sakura.) I must train." She walked away from them. Syaron looking at her as she went. "see? I told you she was okay!" Tomoyo said to them as they were walking home. " she looked at me funny…" Sakura said to them. "who wouldn't!" Meling joked. "Sakura! Come quick! Rapid card on the loose!" Kero yelled as he flew down the street to them." Huh?" "come on!" he yelled. " see ya guys! Bye!" she ran away. " this is the time she finds out." Meling said. " they are testing her.

1.16 " oh no!" Sakura yelled as she started jumping around(using the jump card) after the Shot card. " but I changed them so im their master! How can this happen!" " I don't know, now Sakura!" " SAKURA CARD! RETURN TO YOUR POWER CONFIND! SHOT CARD!" The shot turned into a card and Sakura sat on the ground to rest. "That was great Sakura!" Kero said while flying around like crazy. " I must admit that was very good for the first time with your very own rapid card. You should be praised." A voice said from in the trees. Sakura stood up looking around. " No need too get up dearest Sakura- chan, I have no need to hurt you, nore did that slip past my mind. I was testing you. Well done." Sakura looked up and saw a little girl with cold, pale blue eyes, the palest skin, small body, and lightest hair she had ever seen. Her black shoes shined in the light, her stockings white as snow, skirt blowing up, and shirt blowing up. She smiled and jumped down from the tree. " yuki?' sakura asked. " ah! You remember me. Very good memory. I saw your neck lace and knew it was you.( looks over at Kero and bows to him) will she be in the tournament dearest Kero-chan?" " we don't know Yuki- chan. So please no more tricks." " as you wish. But, I will show you, Sakura, who I am. Just as you did for me." She stoock a couple steps back and held out her necklace. It was purple with a moon in the circle." Mighty key of the Kiuee! She me the way! Let the forces be! As it will obey! Key of light and power! Brightly as you show! Kiuee the power cards! My strength will always glow!" the key she held in her hand grew into a staff. She wore a purple skirts and white shirt and a purple bow. Ribbons going up her arms and legs. Then cards that looked like the clow cards, some different, flowted around her. They were purple. " I am Princess of the Kiuee cards. Like you are of the Clow cards. I come from the royal family. Now you see who I really am. My name is Tamadakis Yuki Hime. I am 14 years old. And I have come to fight in the tournament. And also to help you get ready. Here!" she took a piece of paper out of her pocket and threw it to Sakura. " ill see you in school Sakura!" she vanished into the trees. "lets go home Sakura" Kero said.

1.17 Sakura sat on her bedroom floor. Tomoyo and Meling were spending the night. Syaron had to sneak to the house and through the window. He was staying over too. They all sat on the floor. Kero had gone out to leave them in peace. " well? Are you going to open it Sakura?" tomoyo asked eagerly. Sakura stuck her index finger under the lid tearing it slowly. " wait let me get this on tape!" tomoyo grabed the video camera and turned it on. " ready!" Sakura opened the letter and started to read it carefully for Tomoyo and the camera. " Dear Kinomoto Sakura, You have been incited to the Cards of Magic Tournament, September 1, 2001. It will be held at Gardner Lake Park. Don't forget to use your silent card to make things quiet.

1.18 " To the death? Doesn't that sound dangerous?" Tomoyo asked. " Yes!" sakura moaned. " You've got to be kidding me! NO WAY! THIS IS SO COOL! We finally get accepeted and your scared of a little game?" Maling roared. " Did you say Kika Li Sakura?" " yes. Why?" " OH NO! that's my little sister! How did she get in there!" " she wrote to them telling them how good she was with the cards." Meling answered. " how do you know this?" " Because she told me." " and you didn't tell me!" " I didn't think it was such a big deal!" As Meling and Syaron aruged a shrill of laughter come from the tree out side sakuras window wich was open. Tomoyo peered out of it. " Hi Yuki!" she yelled. Meling and Syaron stoped fighting. " come on in!" tomoyo told her. " thanks tomoyo!"Yumi climbed through the window wearing actully what she wore to school. " hi Sakura! Are you going?" " wait!" Syaron roared. He grabed Yuki by the arm holding her tightly. " are you the Yuki from the royal family?" she smiled " yes. I am Tamamdaski Yuki hime. Princess os the Kuiee Crad Cards." " Crad Cards?" " Yes dearest Syaron-chan. Crad Cards. The Kuiee cards are one of the most powerful cards." She broke free from his grasp and walked over to Sakura. " so are you going?" " Maybe." " yes or no?" " yes…" Sakura sighed. " GREAT!" Yuki screamed while jumping into the air and landing on Syaron's lap. " sorry about that Syaron." " its okay." " well I really must get going now! Bye everybody!" she bent down and crawled out the window. And vainshed.

1.19 "I cant work anymore Kero-Chan!" Sakura moaned while running down the street. "You have to Sakura! You have to work! Now RUN!" Kero roared back at her. Sakura ran as fast as she could down the street. Sakura was sweating and panting loudly when she came to a huge, huge house. She had never seen it before. She slowed down and stared at it. She was amazed at how big it was. " HEY SAKURA!" yelled a voice from behind her. Sakura jumped about 5 feet into the air. "Oh hi Meling. Is this your house?" Meling looked at her then at the house. " Heavens no! you passed my house while you were running. I was wondering where you were going so I followed you. Why did you want to come her? That house is spooky. Its old. The paints coming off. It looks haunted. I heard that it is. With ghosts." Sakura gave a look of horror. Everyone knew she hated ghosts. Meling went on. "The story is that a big family lived here once. And there were these twins. A boy and a girl. They looked a lot alike. But the boy was murdered. And the girl fled. They say that the girl still lives. But the man that killed her brother is still after her." Sakura looked back up at the house. "I wonder if that's true… maybe I should ask Papa about it. He would surely know. That weird Neighbor of ours tells him everything." She thought to herself. Then Sakura thought she was seeing things. She thought she saw a boy, up in the top window, with white blonde hair and cold blue eyes looking down at her. But then Sakura noticed the look of horror on Melings face and she knew it wasn't her mind playing tricks. Meling let out a high pitch scream and started to run down the street, with Sakura running behind her screaming loudly also. They went to Melings house. Sakura sat in a chair and took a deep breath. Meling was leaning on the door. Sakura looked over and saw Kero eating cake. "HOW DID YOU GET HERE!" she yelled in surprise. "I stoped here when Meoing went out after you. I saw cake!" he answered. " that was so scary!" Meling sighed. " It was" Sakura agreed. Meling went over to the phone and called syaron. He came over about 20 minutes later. Tomoyo came with him. They told him what they saw and he was speechless. Tomoyo was just amazed. " I must get going now. I'll see you guys later. Bye" Tomoyo left. " I really must get going also." Sakura left.





1.20 She was walking down the street. It was quiet out. The wind blew hard. Making her hair fly every where. It was almost 10 and pitch black out. Sakura, for some reason, had the feeling she was being watched. She walked a little bit faster. She had a really bad feeling about right then. She didn't know why. She just sensed something bad.



1.21 From up in a tree, sitting on a branch was young Yuki. She was watching Sakura. And when Sakura moved she would move to a different tree. Yuki's legs were dangling from the a branch of a willow tree. The vines of it flying every where. Her hair blowing across her face. Her skirt flying up(oh joy!). she watched sakura.

1.22 Sakura stopped and stared at the willow tree. She thought she had seen something in there. She looked harder. Nothing was there. She shivered and walked on.

1.23 "Hello again." Said a low soft girl voice from up in the tall trees. Sakura stopped frozen. Sakura didn't move her head buit her eyes and saw light blue eyes staring at her from the trees. That's all she could see. " Why? Dearest Sakura, are you afraid?" Sakura felt a cold hand touch her shoulder. Sakura turned around and it was Yuki. " what do you want Yuki?" She asked. " Nothing." " Why were you watching me?" Yuki smiled. I would like you meet some of my friend Dearest Sakura-chan. This is Mizuki, Seles, and Yama. 2 boys and 1 girl appeared. The boy named Mizuki had green spiky hair. He had red eyes, he was very tall, but thin. The boy named Yama had dark purple shoulder length hair, he was tan, black eyes, and he was tall but shorter than the other boy. The girl named Seles had elbow length lime green hair, she had dark green eyes, and she was taller than Yama but shorter than Mizuki. Yuki was so short compared to them. She was short to Sakura. Mizuki smiled at Sakura, Seles grinned and waved, but Yama looked at her and grunted. " They will be fighting in the tournament also." Yuki said. "I'm looking forward with fighting with you." Seles said. She had a high but soft voice. She didn't sound the least bit dangerous. " we will be in the physical round together." She went on. "Ahem, sorry to stop your jabbering Seles." Yama said in a cold voice. " But this is not why we are here." "He is very much right Seles. So don't get moody." Mizuki said after him. Mizuki had a soothing voice. It was gentle. Sakura looked clueless. " Dearest Sakura, we have come to ask you if you would help us. To protect Yuki hime." Mizuki asked Sakura. " why?" she asked. " He has come after her. And he will stop at nothing." At that moment the wind blew very very hard and knocked Sakura to her knees, and Seles to the ground. Yama helped Seles up. A bolt of lighting shot down and like a dome went over Yuki. She screamed so loudly. Sakura just sat and watched in horror. A man appeared in the dome with Yuki. Yuki ran to one side of the little dome and cried. " leave me alone! NO! stop it! NOOOO!"

1.24 Sakura woke up sweating like a pig. She walked to school. And when she got there went sraight to Yuki. " we need to talk!" Sakura said to her. Yuki smiled gentally and said "yes, we do."

1.25 " I had a d…" "No. It was real. I thank you for wanting to talk about it. And I know what you are going to ask. So please don't say anything and let me talk. That big house is my house. And what Meling told you was true but this is how the story is. A man named Arnold Walkins, hated my family. But most of all hated me and my twin brother Yui. We were the future carriers of the Kuiee cards. And if we died, he would have a better chance at being the new Card king, or what ever you want to call it. Arnold would turn people against us, the powerful and the weak, and we would have a bad things said about us all the time. Well, the tournament was held at Gardner lake park, and my brother entered. He was going to win, but in the second round, he was murdered. Arnold had said he wanted to speak with him, then killed him. I found his body. He wanted to get me, but I fled. I ran away like a baby. And not I have to have people protect me because he is back. Last night he sent his friend Jack over to kill me, but he had failed. That is why this year I entered the tournament. He will be there. I and he will make it to the final round. And then, I will kill him. I will make him feel the pain he put on my 10 year old twin brother, the youngest ever Cardcaptor. He is still that house. I can feel him sometimes. But I have never seen him. How I wish to see him again."

1.26 Sakura just stared at her. " wow." She finally got out. " Yes. And you do know what tomorrow is don't you?" " Yes." " The tournament."

1.27
