Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I do not own Cardcaptor Sakura so don't sue.
Tell me what you think of this because I don't know if I'm going to write
much more. Also I don't know what rating I'm going to put because I might
add some better stuff.

Not that different
"Freeze" I Shouted at the top of my lungs, and the creeps I'd named idiot 1 and idiot 2 both stopped in their tracks and dropped whatever package of drugs they'd been carrying. Unfortunately for me a third creep came out from wherever he'd been hiding, and fire at me.
Now I'm telling you my reflexes are quick but I can't dodge bullets, so I would of got hit, except for the fact I can stop time. Okay, that's not all I can do, it just so happens that I'm the mistress of some pretty powerful ancient magical cards, the Sakura cards to be more precise. But I guess you know the story of how I came to be who I am. I used to have to call upon the cads using my staff, but now, I guess I'm getting stronger, I don't need to call upon my staff to use the cards when I'm in any immediate danger, and I can class this situation as dangerous. Anyway, back to the shooting, I froze time rolled behind a car unfreezing time once I was out of range of the bullets but before I got behind the car. I called upon windy and it blew all three creeps over, I jumped out with my gun in my hand and walked over to them on my guard. Two other cops backed me up once the creeps were down, who noticed they were out of this fight, and stayed down.
** Later **
I looked in the mirror, I saw a woman of around the age 24 looking back at me. She had long reasonably straight light brown hair, but with the most unusual emerald eyes and a strange pendent hanging from her neck. She had tanned, clean skin except for an ugly unhealed cut, a souvenir of today's police raid. This person can't be me right! She looks normal, like she has everything! While I don't, there's something missing in my life, but what? I have a good job, good boyfriend and good friends, so what isn't right? I walk to my department of the police station, people congratulate me on today's raid, I smile but inside I'm scared, what if I didn't have my cards? I'd be dead or at least injured; today was close, too close for my liking. I don't like using my cards unless I have too. But to all those who don't know my secret, I'm one of the best officers in this building and they call me the cat, cause I can get out of tight situations and always land on my feet, they say I have more lives than one too.
"Sakura" I turn round to see my colleague and good friend Dana walking towards me, "Looks like the cat struck again, how come you always get out of situations like that?" She asks me,
"I guess it's just plain luck." I reply with a forced smile,
"Well you can help with a case I'm working on" she said, I follow her to our department while she tells me the basics of her case.
Dana is great, we have the same interests, we have worked together on so many assignments that you just can't help being friends, but Dana Hedo does not know me that well, she doesn't know my secrets and I'm not telling her coz she is the sister on my current boyfriend, Ryu. She would tell him and say as an excuse for doing so that blood is thicker than water. She actually set me up with Ryu, blind date on my side. He works in Forensics and had developed a liking for me, so his sister set me up with him. He's a good guy but I don't feel that spark you know, I mean he is hot, but I'm not in love with him, and no matter how much time I'll give him, I don't think I will ever be. In love with him I mean.
"Kinomoto!"
"Hoe!" I screamed,
"You kind of zoned out there, sorry I had to yell!" Dana said,
"Sorry"
"No problem, but I guess you weren't listening to the case details." Dana said,
"Sorry" I said again,
"No problem, I'm not really supposed to giving the details away anyway."
We both laughed then,
"So how are things going with my big bro, is it love yet?"
"Dana, he's nice but I'm not sure I ."
"Give him a chance, he really likes you." She interrupted, "So I'm guessing, that because you are really high strung that you guys haven't."
It was my turn to interrupt, "Dana!"
"What you're 23, sex shouldn't be an embarrassing subject, come to think about it you never talk about it. Don't tell me you're still."
"Dana! And no I'm not, and as for your oni'chan and me, no we haven't. It's just a personal subject for me which I don't like to talk about." I reply which is completely true,
"Let me ask you a question and you have to answer it!"
"Okay"
"How old were your first time."
"Dana!"
"Oh come on, no big deal I was 17"
"Fine, 15"
"Really?"
"Yes, really"
"Really?"
"Yes"
"Really"
"Dana!"
"I just didn't expect, I thought college."
"Hedo, Kinomoto" a yell from behind stopped her, it was Trina, one of my partners from this morning, and she was also a good friend.
"Dana, Mr Conic wants to talk to you," she said,
"Thanks, see y a"
"Mr Conic?" I ask,
"He picked her, and not you because she hasn't told him where to get off when he tried it on with her like you did." We peeled into fits of laughter, remembering the time Mr Conic came on to me and I had no hesitations about giving him the finger and the words to match it. However now I wish I used slightly different language. Not because I feel bad, God knows, I wanted to beat the crap out of him, for him thinking I would do anything with him, I mean he's old enough to be my Dad, then afterwards he called me a slut, so I had to really restrain myself from giving him a black eye, then another to match it, then to make the ensemble complete a broken nose. The reason really was that he was a superior officer and though he couldn't directly fire me, he could give me the dull; clean up cases nobody wanted, to try and make me want to quit.
"You doin a case right now" she asked me after we stopped laughing,
"No, you?" I asked,
"As a matter of fact, Yes. I need you for it actually."
"Me, I don't get good cases."
"Ah, oh contre, my little cherry blossom, I was told you were my partner from orders above Conic, looks like somebody's going to change your profile from what that piece of shit wrote."
"Orders from who?" I asked, intrigued,
"That would be telling Sakura!" She replied, I glared at her, "Okay, I don't know," putting up her arms in defence, "all I know is that you are to be on this assignment."
"So what's the assignment?"
"Not a clue!" she replied,
"Trina!"
"What, all I was told was that it's a good case, you're my partner, as we did so well together today and that's it."
"That's all you know?"
"Yes. Wait. Hey I know things, that's just all I know about this case." She replied, "we gotta report to Forensics', we get briefed there." She added, leading me towards the forensics' department, "I think your lovely bo' is gonna be on this case too." I couldn't hold back the groan escaping from me, "Oh, all not well in lovers land?" she asked with a smirk on her face,
"Very funny, and we're not lovers."
"Guess you should of taken my advice and not gone out with him in the first place. He is not your type."
"Well, oh wise one, pray, tell me what my type is?" I asked,
"How am I supposed to know? I just know he wasn't It." She said as we walked on through the corridors, "So ya gonna ditch him?"
"Thinking about it, Dana said I should give him another chance."
"She would, I mean he is her brother," Trina snorted, "at the risk of sounding corny, just do what your heart tells you to do"
"Where've I heard that before?" I said innocently, after which we burst into giggles.
"Anyway, we are totally partying tonite, as a reward for doin so well today in that raid." I open my mouth to interrupt, "Yes your coming, I don't care if you are dying, your coming."
"I'm supposed to be on a date with Ryu." I replied,
"I thought you'd say that that's why I already told him 'bout it. He said he would come."
"Trina, no offence, but I don't want to come."
"Whenever we all go out together to a club, you always take a rain check, so now your rain check has expired."
"I'm just not the partying person", I say, but one look at Trina's puppy dogface makes me cave, "Fine! Just this once."
"Yeah, you're the best!"
We walk towards Forensics where we are told about the case. It was a series of horrendous murders, the only thing that suggests that they are related was a symbol burnt on their back. This is the part where I kept quiet; the symbol is very similar to the symbol of the Clow and my own symbol, the star. These murders are magically related. This is not a fact I want to share with my co-workers, so I guess I've got to do my own investigation. The thing is, this time there's no Eriol, no Tomoyo or Meling and especially no Syaoran Li.
