Hey! This is my first attempt at a story, so be nice(please?).
I dunno whay I'm posting a C.C.S. fic fist, but I am.
I've been playing with this story for two years, and have finally gotten around to posting it!
*starts dancing around triumphantly*.
At firs, this seems like a total Sakura fic. But it's not! just the prologue(for now)is in Sakura's
percpective, next one,I promise, will be in Li's and in general's.
So please, read and enjoy.
"Speech"
Thoughts
( )-interjected author's notes

Disclamer: (in dronning voice)I do not own Carcaptors and probably never will.
The scene looked cold and dead, bathed in the oiercing glow of the moon.
The wind blew harshley, pushing against the dark,forboding trees.
Forcing them to twist and bend into a new possition as they moaned in protest.
The sky, dark as ebony,was blank as the moon above. For even the stars seemed to be hidden,
gone off to behind the clouds for thier eternal sleep.
It would seem that any creature would have gone off to thier homes hours ago, for not a soul could be found.
But, if one were to look closely,one would see a group of shadows huddled
together near the all-to-familar Penguin slide, covered in the moons icy stare.

"Jump card!" Sakura yelled as she twirled her star wand around her gracefully.
In seconds, Sakura jumped out of hams way and up into the inky black sky.
All the cardcaptors were there. The friendly and protective Keroberos, the watchful Yue, the determined Li(yay!
His first mentioning!)Li's constant conpanion Melin was there and Madison with her ever present video-camera,
straped to her hand and glued to her eye.

Sakura dodged again. Frustration leaking from her normaly calm composer. Yet again,
her attemps to bring the magickally(1) summoned creature to it's knee's failed.
No matter what she threw at it, it was just to powerful. Even Li's Elemental magick attacks failed.
Sakura landed beside her allies. She couldn't believe how easily the thing was getting to her.

Sakura looked up and glared the demon in it's violet eye. It looked to be semi-aquatic.
It's shoulder lengh silky, green hair with long pointed ears. It's ears must have
been at least a foot long, going up diagonaly, with feathery tips on each end.
A long, but dainty, snout that looked quite similar to a grey-hound's.
A tall, slender body covered on a collage of beautiful green skin. It also sported a elegant,
long tail resembling that of a horse's. And last, but certainly not least, it's measmerizing eyes.
The colour of blosseming violets in the gentle spring warmth. They captueres your soul,
entrancing you to just look at them, as if you would die if you turned away...

Sakura was careful not to look it directly in the eyes, for fear that she would become lost
in them.There has to be a way to defeat this thing. Sakura thought bitterly. That's it!
She beamed as a new realization dawned on her. Sakura pulled out a new card, different from the
others.

She discovered the card about a week ago,and this demon seemed to be the perfect field test for it.
Sakura didn't tell other's about it. There was a different energy about this card.
Something dark and mysterious. Like as if were jaded, tanted from from a hidden past.
Sakura didn't know why, but she thought that she would keep it a secret, at least till she
knew more about it. But this would be the perfect way to demonstrate it's magick and the
abilities it posses, as well as showing it to the others.

Sakura pulled out her beautiful star wand and the card out of her her dech as she bagen
twirling and spinning her wand around her slim figure.
Gracefully, perfectly. "I call upon the power of my star,
Ancient forces near and far,
Olup(1), transform all your might,
And draw your power from my light,
Star Card!"
The card was so ancient and old that it's name wasn't even in Sakura's native tongue.
---------------------------------------(Li's percpective)--------------------------------------
At the sight of that card, my body froze. Completely in shock.It could't be that card.
That card was though to be destroyed. I'd been fortunate enough to have never have to look at
it before. The very sight of it send shivers running down my spine.
He tried to intervien, to stop Sakura from using that cursed card,but was not quick enough.
"NO!!". Four voices rang through the night air.

---------------------------------------(Sakura's percpective)----------------------------------
Emediatly the Olup card took affect on the aquatic nightmare. As it was killed at light speed.
She watched it as it shrivled up into nothing. This is great! Sakura had finaly defeated that
hellish water-demon. The others would be proud of her growing powers and ingenuity.

"NO!!". Sakura was snaped out of her delightful precognitions to Yue, Keroberos, Melin and Li
screaming like armegedon had just been announced. Li emediatly collapsed to the ground in what
seemed to be extreme pain. Sakura called out, running over to him. He was holding his
mid-section in excruciating pain. But before she could reach him, Keroveros picked Li up by the
collar of his ceremonial robes and flew away as fast as hit sturdy eagle wings would take him.

-"What have you done!?!" Yue cries. Fear and anger featured all over his face.

-"What do you mean? What's happened to Li!?!" I yell, feeling myself start to panick.

Madison's comforting presence relaxes me a bit.
"Yeah, why did Kero take Li away? He needs our help!" She states, concerne and worry etched in
her soft features.
"Don't you know anything!" Sakura hear Melin praticaly screems. Sakura had forgotten she was
here.I look over to answer her but stop. Melin was on her knees, shaking from the strengh of
her tears. Sakura was shocked. Melin never cries. What could Sakura have done to cause this?

"What?" Sakura ask her dumbfounded. "You've turned Li into a monster!!!!" Melin cries and
sank to the pitch black grass,for she does not have her voice to speak anymore. Sakura didn't
understand."What copuld I have done to turn him ino a monster?!" Sakura yells, her panick
returning.
"You've unleashed the curse of the Clow Family." Yue sais in remorse. oh God.
What have I done?

Oooooh, cliffy. And I'm Spent! I can't believe I finally got this going! Now for the footnotes.

(1)- Magick. Actually, this is how you really spell it. Magic like this is what you spell for
...magicain magic, like pulling a rabit out of a hat.
(2)- Olup.Is just the rearranged letters from loup, wich is french for wolf.
(confused? don't worry, it will make sense later.)

So what you think? Was it a brilliant piece of literature? Was it a piece of shit on paper?
Tell me please! I'd really like to know!
I don't know how often I'll be able to update, but I think that I can get once a week in.
Don't be angry! And I'm sorry if thischapter is a little hard to understand.
I have a problem with my tenses(you know, stuff like past tense and stuff).
I'll try to make it more comprehendable next chappie!

Oh! If you wanna sse what the creaturs Sakura was fighting looked like,
just say so in your review with your e-mail, and I'll send you a pic A.S.A.P.!
