Couples: Reid/Tyler, Caleb/Sarah, Pogue/Kate
Main Couple: Reid/Tyler
Summary: Tyler Simms was just a normal boy in a private high school named Spenser; that is until he goes to the library in his house and finds a glowing book called 'The Clow'. After that, things get kind'a crazy; a talking stuffed animal, strange looking cards, and a really, really hot guy. These are gonna be some pretty strange days from now on.
Important Note: This is not a crossover of characters, this is a crossover/fusion of plots. So the scenarios of Cardcaptors will be crossed over/fused with the characters of the Covenant. The personality of the characters from the Covenant will still be as you know them; They'll just be experiencing Cardcaptor situations, that's all. So basically, this is a mix of the Covenant personalities with the background of Cardcaptors, okay? When the Covenant boys use their magic their eyes will still turn black. Though, in order to make this crossover work, Reid and Kate will not know any of the Covenant characters at first, or even be from America, nor will Spenser have dorms. It just doesn't work with Cardcaptor situations. And another major change; the sealing wand in this story no longer has pink on it. No one can take Tyler seriously with a pink wand, so instead of the stick part of the wand being pink, I made it a masculine shade of blue. So now the wand is red, white, gold, and blue. I have a picture of it if you want to see what it looks like. The link to it will be on my profile page.

Chapter 1: A Book and a Talking Toy
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
It was a normal school day for Spenser private high school in the small town of Ipswich of Massachusetts. In first hour English is where we find a certain boy deep in thought as he drew little doodles in his notebook while his classmates did their assignment, which he completed already, being as smart as he is. He was in the middle of aimlessly drawing a small creature with little wings when someone called his name.
"Tyler!" a girl whispered in front of him.
She seemed to have been calling his name more times previously than the one he just heard. He lifted his head up to see his best friend since elementary school, Sarah Wenham, staring at him in concern and curiosity.
"Hmm?" Tyler answered in a bit of a daze.
"I've said your name five times now. It's not a common thing for you to be so mentally far away. Is something up?" She asked starting to get worried about her best friend, practically her brother now, since they've known each other for so long and how often they seem to be around each other.
Tyler blinked then sighed, debating if he should tell her. He thought he should. He needed to take a load off his mind.
"…Yeah, actually."
Sarah gave a warm smile. "You can tell me about it if you want. Knowing me all this time, you should know my reactions, especially with things like this."
Tyler gave a warm smile in return. "You're right…I do," He paused for a few seconds before speaking again. "Don't tell anyone else, not even our other friends, okay? It's deeply personal."
Sarah nodded as she gave a reassuring gaze. "No problem, lips are sealed."
After her confirmation, Tyler looked around them to make sure no one was listening in to their conversation before he explained.
"…I've been having a strange dream, and it's been reoccurring almost every night for a week."
Sarah looked down at Tyler's notebook as he spoke and stared at all the drawings he made.
"Does it have something to do with those?" Sarah asked indicating Tyler's drawings.
There were drawings of a tall, cone-like radio tower; a long card with a squiggly frame in the center and a sun at the top center along with a crescent moon on the bottom center. The card created a rectangle in the middle, but it was colored black with pencil led making it blank; then there was some kind of symbol with two circles around three fanned out squares along with a sun in the middle and a crescent moon to the upper left side of the sun; there was a fancy looking wand with short little wings on the sides. It looked similar to a golf club; and last was a little creature with a long, skinny tail with a ball of fluffy hair at the end and had small wings, much like the wand. It looked a lot like a baby lion.
Tyler looked down at his doodles, and then back up at Sarah. "Yes."
Sarah looked intrigued. "Hmm, must have been some pretty interesting dream."
"You have no idea," He said sounding overwhelmed and confused by it all.
He leaned forward from his seat to get closer to Sarah, so he could speak quieter so as to not draw in any ease-droppers.
"I dreamed I was standing on a roof of a tall building not far from a tall, red radio tower. Every time…I'm just staring at it, and then later leap for it…but really weird stuff happens between the part where I'm staring at it and when I'm jumping toward it."
Sarah was sucked in to the story and was really interested now. "Like what?"
"A wand in my hands, cards falling from the sky, and a small winged animal floating next to me." He said quickly in a sheepish manner, not wanting to sound crazy but considering what the subject was, that was impossible.
Sarah didn't think he was crazy but she was very surprised by the situation the items played in his dream that he drew out.
"Wow…that is really weird."
"I know, right?" Tyler stated, glad she understood.
"Mmm…and this happened every night for one week?"
"Almost every night. I didn't for three days but not in a row, it was scattered."
"Mmhmm…well, usually when dreams are reoccurring like that, it means something,"
That got Tyler thinking.
"Of course, don't hold me to that. Not every reoccurring dream has to mean something. It could've been just one of those wacky, pointless dreams people get from time to time. Don't rack your brain too much over it." She advised.
Tyler gave a grateful smile. "Thanks, Sarah, I'll try not to."
After their conversation was over, the dismissal bell rang indicating the end of their current class. After Tyler and Sarah gathered their things together they walked together towards the exit of their English class, two other's following them. It was their two friends Caleb and Pogue, Sarah and Caleb being a couple. They've also known Caleb and Pogue since elementary school, so they were all close. All four of them walked together down the halls to their second class. Sarah had P.E. while Tyler, Caleb, and Pogue all had swimming.
"See you later." Caleb said to Sarah as they had to part ways.
Sarah smiled up at him, though disappointed she couldn't stay. "Bye, have a good time in swim class."
Caleb smiled and kissed her before she left. "Same to you with P.E."
After the kiss ended she looked over to Tyler and Pogue. "See you guys later."
Tyler smiled. "See ya."
Pogue smiled as well. "Bye, Sarah."
After that she left with a smile on her beautiful face as she turned left down another hallway to head toward the gym. The three guys continued down the hallway they were walking down that led to a flight of stairs. After going down them, they walked down another hallway and went out a door that led outside which was where a building was that held the indoor pool.
"So…what's the pool agenda today, captain?" Tyler asked Caleb as they entered the pool building.
Caleb Danvers was the captain of their school's swim team and was the best swimmer in their class. Pogue was second best and Tyler was third best. That was just in racing, though. Tyler was the best in their class when it came to dive boarding. His tricks were always complete and smooth, and he always nails the landing perfectly no matter how complicated the trick. Some in their class can do the tricks good but can't land at the right time after the trick, causing the trick to be incomplete. Some say he should try for the Olympics but he just likes to do it for fun, not for serious competitions. Where's the fun in that, right?
"Coach said we'll be practicing off the diving board today then move to racing near the end." Caleb replied.
Tyler smiled. He loved the diving board runs. "Yes!"
Caleb and Pogue grinned at their friend's glee as they entered the locker room to get changed in their swim trunks and grab their goggles. When class started and the coach announced they were doing dives off the diving board first, the coach had Tyler go after four students had gone.
"Alright, Tyler, you're next." said their coach.
Tyler perked and smiled as he pushed from the wall he was leaning against and climbed up on the 2meter board. Some classmates cheered him on, especially his two childhood friends Pogue and Caleb. Tyler got in position in the middle of the board. He walked to the end of the board, jumped on the board once, on the second jump he leaped forward off the board and somersaulted in the air twice then twisted his body two and a half times before straightening his body into a dive position right in the water. People were always amazed when he performed because he was so skilled. A lot cheered and clapped after he hit the water, even the coach, who was very proud to have students that were so talented.
"Wow…I never get tired of watching him dive, do you?" Caleb said in a proud smile as he clapped.
"No, dude, definitely not. He really is amazing at it." replied Pogue clapping for Tyler as well.
"That's for sure." Caleb stated.
Tyler climbed out of the pool and wiped the water from his eyes and smiled at everyone that clapped and cheered for him as he walked back over to his two friends.
"Another good session, Simms, well done." Their coach praised.
"Thanks, coach." Tyler replied with a content smile.
"Next up-"
Caleb leaned over to Tyler and whispered to him while the coach called other students to dive.
"You did great up there, Ty."
"Yeah, man, purely astounding, as always." Pogue whispered as well.
Tyler looked embarrassed by all the praise, as he always does when he's praised more than a couple times on something, always the modest one. He likes being noticed for doing something good, but he's not quite used to getting a lot so often.
"Thanks."
When Tyler got home in his hummer an hour later when school was over, he looked for his mom. She got off work at 2pm while his father didn't get off till 5pm, and it was 3:27 right now, so his mother should be home.
"Hey, mom, I'm home!"
No one answered back. Before he started to worry, though, Tyler checked the places around the house he was most likely to find her; the kitchen, the garden, and the library. He checked the kitchen first and didn't see her, but he did see a white note on the counter. It read:
Had to go to the grocery store. Be back soon.
-Mom
That made all worry disappear. Now that he knew everything was okay, he went upstairs to his room and took what he needed out of his backpack before putting it away. His history teacher assigned them work that was strictly only to be done at home. They were supposed to read chapter thirteen in their history book which was only four pages long, so it wasn't a big deal. Other than this he had no real homework today, so he decided to get this done as soon as possible, since it was just reading. He laid on his stomach on his bed, his history textbook open, and he began to read. Halfway through the first page he suddenly had this strange feeling that he should exit his room and go out to the hallway. He couldn't explain it, really. It was just this random feeling. Intuition maybe? He didn't know. All he did know was that he couldn't focus on reading with this feeling tugging at him constantly, so he decided to get up from his bed and open his door to stand in the hallway. Once he did that, that same feeling came back and was now urging him to go farther down the hall to the library.
"Freaky…" He muttered as he looked down the hall where the library was.
He thought he might as well go in the library, just to see if it really was intuition trying to tell him something, maybe something important. He walked down the hall then opened the door to the library and entered. The library had bookshelves lining the walls. And in the center of the room was where some beanbags and chairs were with a desk in the middle. Tyler stood near the entrance and scoured the area for anything eye-catching or unusual enough for him to come down here. Then….he saw it….
'Is something…glowing?' He thought as he saw a glow of light to the left of the room on one of the bookshelves.
He hesitantly walked over toward the glowing and noticed it was a book. Why or even how it could be glowing like that, he had no idea. He reached his hand out to grab it, and when his hand was an inch from it, it stopped glowing, the book now back to normal. He blinked, not sure what was going on or what to think. He continued his hand forward and picked up the book that was titled 'The Clow', now having it in his hands. He gasped when it pulsed with a brief wave of light before going back to normal again. Tyler gulped and looked around himself nervously before looking back down at the book.
"Calm down, Tyler, you're just studying too hard, it's just a hallucination," He mumbled to himself to calm himself down.
He was going to put the unique looking book back on the shelf and get back to reading the assigned chapter in his history book, but before he could slide it back on the shelf, a snapping sound came from the book, which startled Tyler and made him jerk back slightly. He looked at the book in disbelief as he saw that the clasp that held it shut just a second ago was now off, now having access to the inside of the book.
"When did this day decide to get freaky?" He mused as he stared at the strange book that apparently had a mind of its own.
Now that it was open, he might as well look inside. He's never seen this book before, and he knows all the books in their library. He grabbed the cover of the book and opened it slowly. His eyes widen at what he saw when he opened it. The book was nothing but a stack of cards, the pages in the book really only being a case to hold them. There was also a long paragraph written on the back of the cover.
"No way…this is…"
He picked up one of the cards which were laying face down.
"…The symbol from my dream," He turned the card over. "And these are the cards I saw,"
He looked down at the name the card had at the bottom.
"…The Windy?"
Unknown to him, an air current appeared at his feet on the ground in a circular motion.
"Windy….wonder what this is for."
Then the card in his hands glowed suddenly and a glowing symbol bathed in gold light appeared below him. His eyes widen in shock then closed them quickly as a gust of wind suddenly blew around him, blowing the rest of the cards sitting in the book right out until none but the one in his hand were left. When the strong wind ended, Tyler opened his eyes and noticed all the cards in the book were gone. He sunk down to the ground, now sitting and sat the book face down in front of him before letting out a long sigh. But that was short lived when the book reacted again. It glowed brightly like it did the first time, but this time it didn't stop there, something came out of the book this time. A small, yellow, winged creature rose up out of the book's cover and continued to rise in the air till it was at eye level. It opened its eyes and stared at Tyler for a couple seconds, then….
"Howdy, howdy, howdy!" The yellow creature said cheerfully.
Tyler's jaw dropped. 'No way! That's the same creature I saw in my dream!'
"Thank you so much for waking me up there, kid. I have been stuffed in that book for like, ever." The winged creature continued in relief.
"You…you can talk?" Tyler said doumbfounded.
The small creature tilted its cute little head in confusion. "Of course. Why wouldn't I?"
"Well, uh….you kind'a look like a stuffed animal."
That seemed to offend the creature. "I what?!"
The creature huffed and crossed his arms. "For your information, kid, I am no toy. I am Keroberos, guardian beast of the seal of the Clow book."
"A guardian beast?" He mused trying to make sense of all this.
"That's right. You can call me Kero. What's your name, kid?"
"T-Tyler."
Keroberos had used his powers on the book to prop it up and open it.
"Well, Tyler, you see, I keep the Clow cards out of trouble, see?" He continued. But unknown to him, there were no cards there. He soon noticed this. He looked over to the cards that usually rested in the Clow book and freaked out when he saw they were no longer there.
"Waaaaah!" Kero shouted in horror. He frantically looked inside the book as if the cards were hiding in the case.
"My Clow cards! Where are my Clow cards!? No, my precious cards!"
Tyler raised a brow then looked down at the card he still had left in his hand.
"Clow cards…you mean this?" He held up the card in his hand to Kero, hoping that would calm him down. Once Kero saw the card, he perked up in happiness once again.
"Oh, yes, the Windy card!" Kero took the card in his hands and laid it on the ground in front of himself.
"Thank you! So…uh…where's the rest?" Kero asked the boy.
Tyler looked nervous at that question. "Uuuuh…well…I said the name of that card…"
"Yeah…" Kero confirmed excitedly, thinking the cards were in a neat little stack nearby and that this kid could give them back to him right then and there.
"…And then a huge wind came…"
"Yeah, yeah-yeah…" Kero said again, urging him to hurry it along.
"And that caused them to…blow away." Tyler finished nervously, hoping Kero wouldn't freak out like before. Kero didn't say anything for a few seconds, he just stared at Tyler. But a minute later….
"…What?!"
Well, so much for not freaking out.
Tyler was now back in his room with the addition of Kero and the Clow book. Tyler was back on his bed reading his assignment while Kero was over on his desk that was against the wall and was trying to sense the rest of the Clow cards' location. Kero was outlined in a gold light, hovering over the Clow book that laid on the desk as he searched. Tyler looked over at him.
"Any luck?" He asked the baby lion-like creature.
The light outlining Kero faded away and he floated gracefully down to sit on the Clow book in disappointment.
"Not a thing. I have no idea where they could be," said the guardian.
Tyler felt kind'a bad. It was his fault, after all. 'I can't believe the stuffed animal looking creature is actually real and not just in my dreams. My friends would never believe this. They'd think that I was joking around.'
"This book I was guarding had Clow cards inside it." Kero continued.
That snapped Tyler out of his thoughts and had his attention turn back to Kero. "Clow cards?" He asked, not sure what the big deal was. They were just collectable cards, right?
"Dangerous forces,"
'Oh…not just collectables, then.'
"And now that the seal has been broken, there's no telling what they'll do."
What they'll do? They can do things? Tyler wasn't following. "What do you mean?"
"The Clow cards were created by a very powerful sorcerer named Clow Reed. Each Clow card has its own character and special powers. They were designed to be free, but the cards grew so strong and willful that they couldn't be controlled, so Clow Reed created a book called The Clow to keep the cards in with a protective seal on the cover. I, Keroberos, am the guardian beast of that seal and was created by Clow Reed himself to make sure the cards don't get into any trouble or fall into the wrong hands."
Now Tyler understood. At least…he understood the purpose of the book and the cards, and why Kero exists, but…
"Wait…did you say sorcerer…like… as in magic?"
Kero nodded. "Yep."
Now that blew Tyler's mind. "No way…magic actually exists?"
Kero looked over at him. "Well, of course. How would you have opened the book and woken me up if magic didn't exist?"
Okay…Tyler was officially confused. "Whoa, hold on. I opened the book?"
It was Kero's turn to be confused. "Yeah….you really didn't know?"
Tyler shook his head, not believing what he was hearing. "No, I thought the book was doing it. How could I…?"
Then Kero got it. "Oh~….now I get it, you haven't discovered your powers yet, have you?"
Tyler frowned. "Powers? What powers?"
Kero flew over to him and sat in front of him on the bed. "You, Tyler, are a sorcerer, or more commonly known as a witch."
Tyler's jaw dropped and his eyes widened. He was purely baffled into speechlessness. Him? A witch?
"A witch? B-b-but how…how is that possible? I've never been told that ever or experienced anything of it."
Kero looked thoughtful at that and tried to explain for the young witch.
"A Witches' powers don't activate until they've matured, so no magical activity from you will be experienced until you've reached the proper age. The 'how' is from your family line. So someone in your family had to of had magic in order for you to inherit them. As for not being told…well…I'm guessing your family was wanting to protect you from the things that come with magic."
Tyler was really wanting to know what that was. He was a little upset with his family for keeping such an important thing from him.
"Which is?" He asked Kero in deep curiosity.
Kero gazed at him in silence for a second before replying. "Danger."
Realization gradually made it to Tyler. After Kero said that, now he understands why his family kept it from him. Understanding this now, he wasn't so upset as he just was.
'So they really were protecting me.'
Tyler took a deep breath and focused on what Kero was talking about before. "So…these Clow cards…they sound pretty dangerous."
"Mmhmm," Kero hummed in agreement. "That's why it's so important to get them back," Kero then pointed at Tyler.
"And…you're gonna help me."
Tyler froze at that. 'Eeeh…what?' "Me?" Tyler asked in disbelief and confusion.
Kero crossed his arms in triumph. "Yep."
Tyler blinked. "B-but…why me?"
"Because…you're the one who activated the Windy card and freed them in the first place." Kero stated matter-of-factly.
Tyler sheepishly closed his eyes in disappointment at that, feeling stupid that he actually was the cause of this horrendous event.
"Yeah…I know. But as you found out, I had no idea what I was doing, or that I was even doing anything. Plus, since you're the guardian of them, shouldn't you have stopped me before I even touched the cards?" He asked in confusion, not understanding how all this adds up to now.
Kero looked embarrassed at that. "Uh-yeah, I know…I…well, just took a little nap."
Tyler lifted a brow. "For how long?"
"For thirty years or so…" Kero looked nervous under Tyler's disbelieving gaze. Then Kero cracked. "I never said being a guardian was easy!" He exclaimed. "But if you were able to open the Clow book's seal, then you must have very strong magical powers." He stated.
Tyler tried to take that last part in. He couldn't believe it. "Whoa…not only do I have powers but they're strong, too?" Tyler smiled at that.
"Now, that is just way beyond cool." Tyler decided.
"Yep," Kero said in a smile. "Now, stand up and go over there." He stated as he pointed near the center of Tyler's room.
Tyler stared at him. "Why?"
"You'll find out." The guardian said before flying back over to Tyler's desk and sat back down on the Clow book and waited. Tyler didn't know what to think about this but he complied, trusting the lion, and stood in front of his desk near the center of his room, facing Kero.
"Alright, now we can start." Kero mused.
'Start what?' Tyler thought.
Then Kero once again outlined himself in gold light. A glowing light started coming from the ground near Tyler's feet, so he looked down. When he looked down he noticed that symbol from his dream was now surrounding him. Kero then began speaking again but not to him this time.
"Key to the seal, this boy will carry out the sacred promise," At this, a small ball of light came out of the lock of the seal on the Clow book and flew over to Tyler to float in front of him.
"His name is Tyler. I command you to bestow him with your magical powers. Release the power!" Kero continued.
After Kero's last three words, the ball of light in front of Tyler suddenly grew brighter and completely shrouded his room in bright light. This caused Tyler to shield his eyes from the intense brightness, making it hard to keep his eyes on what was going on.
"Tyler, take the staff!" Kero called.
Tyler looked in front of him to see a very interesting red, white, gold, and blue staff with what looked like wings attached to the head of it. He did as Kero instructed and reached out to grab it. Once he did that, the staff grew a bit longer and the light diminished.
Kero smiled happily. "Alright! I Keroberos, name Tyler Cardcaptor!"
End chap.1
That's it so far. Tell me what you think. I enjoy knowing others' views, especially if it's about something of mine. Next chapter Tyler will have to capture the Fly card and experience magic for the first time. See ya there! And thank you for reading. ^ - '
