The Dread Wind Comes...
Chapter 1 "First Blowings"
Written by Dark Lord Leareth and his inept assistant Korax
Dark Lord Leareth (or DLL for short): Hello all. This CCS fanfiction takes place about three years after the end of the series. For convenience_s sake, I_m assuming that Tomoyo, Sakura, Syaoran, etc., are around 15 years old (if you_re familiar enough with the show , I shouldn_t have to tell you the age of the others).
Korax: We do not own or ever in our wildest dreams hope to own CCS. That series belongs to the wonderful people at Clamp. We do not at all intend to cause any harm to the monetary earnings of Clamp, and are writing this story because of fan appreciation and our desire to further the story.
DLL: That said, please sit back and enjoy the fic.
Korax: Warning to homophobes: The main pairing here is the wonderful pairing of Sakura and Tomoyo. S+S fans are still welcome to join us, but don_t you DARE flame us about the relationship we have chosen.
~*~*~*~
Sakura leaned out her window, drinking in the rich aroma. Summer had just started, and with school out, the flowers in bloom and the trees green and wonderful, the smell outside was positively intoxicating. She leaned a bit further forward, fancying that she could stay like this forever and never be unhappy with it...
"Hey, Kaijou! Breakfast_s ready!" came her brother Touya_s voice. Sakura jumped, hit her head on the window, and staggered back about three steps.
"Oh, that hurts..." she groaned.
"I bet." Kero said, flying up and shutting the window. "You oughta be more careful."
"I will be." Sakura responded. "Coming, Touya!" she called downstairs.
"Bring me something." Kero reminded her.
"I always do."
"Yeah, but the first time you forget will be the only time I don_t remind you."
"That may be true." Sakura chuckled. She closed the door behind her and climbed downstairs.
"Good morning, Sakura." her father said.
"Good morning, dad." she responded.
"Good morning, Kaijou." Touya drawled.
"SHUT UP, TOUYA!" Sakura snapped.
After her father managed to restore order to the table, the three settled down and ate some pancakes and bacon. Sakura, of course, saved some for Kero, which delighted the guardian beast to no end.
"Pancakes and bacon! I_m the happiest magical creature on earth!" Kero cheered.
"You_re welcome, Kero-chan." Sakura told him.
She quickly got herself out of the house and ran towards the park. Once there, she looked around for a minute before seeing a three person assemblage over by the King Penguin. She charged at top speed towards the trio before tackling a certain black haired, pale skinned, stormy eyed girl.
Korax: She tackled Meiling?
DLL: 1. NO! 2. Stop interrupting!
Korax: I only did it once...
Tomoyo collapsed to the ground under the weight of the brown haired girl. Laughing softly, she asked Sakura, "Sakura-chan? Could you please get off of me?"
Sakura blushed and stood up, looked at Tomoyo_s smiling face, and blushed harder. She reached down a hand to help Tomoyo up, then turned to the other two members of the group.
"Hi guys!" she said with that infectious cheerful grin. "How are you doing today?"
"I_m fine." Syaoran responded. Naturally, he didn_t smile, but everyone here was used to his funeralistic attitude.
The other person was a different matter entirely. "We_re just great!" Meiling said. "School_s out, the weather_s perfect, and Syaoran agreed to take me to the Kimagure Orange Road movie!"
"Really?" Sakura asked. "Can we come to?"
"Sure!" Meiling answered.
Tomoyo grinned. "I_ll pay for our tickets, Sakura-chan." she offered.
"Oh I can_t let you do that, Tomoyo-chan." Sakura told her. She then remembered that she currently had no money. "On second thought, maybe I_d better..." she went cherry red.
Tomoyo laughed. "It_s no problem, Sakura-chan." she told her girlfriend. "No problem at all." with that, Tomoyo walked over to Sakura and gently kissed the other girl_s lips with her own. "There, you just paid me back." she whispered.
Syaoran moaned. "What did I do to deserve this?" he asked.
Korax: Because your a slimy, foul, evil, self-centered...
DLL: SHUT UP! First of all, you_re interrupting the fic. Secondly, you_re going to upset all the Syaoran fans.
Korax: Syaoran fans=bakas.
"Deserve what, Syaoran-kun?" Sakura asked. "Are you still upset because I chose Tomoyo-chan over you?"
"He better not be." Meiling growled. "And besides, leaving for those two years hardly helped his chances."
It had been two and a half years ago that Tomoyo had confessed her love to Sakura, and Sakura had finally felt it back. It had been one year since Syaoran and Meiling returned after Syaoran_s formidable mother decided Sakura needed their protection. She_d said that although she wasn_t sure something might attack Sakura, she still needed someone around the cardmistress. Just in case...
Scared that Syaoran would try to win Sakura back, Tomoyo had told the Chinese boy all about her relationship with her lifelong friend. Syaoran refused to believe this until he confronted Sakura about it and she confirmed the news. Meiling was overjoyed, as this meant that Syaoran was finally hers, and hers alone. The two had made it official (mostly Meiling) nine months ago. Syaoran never dared go against Meiling_s wishes.
Korax: Rather controlling, isn_t she.
DLL: (With giant mace) SHUT UP ALREADY! (WHAM!)
Korax: Itai...
"No." Syaoran answered to Sakura_s question. "I just don_t really want to see this movie all that much."
"Tough" Meiling said.
And so the group marched to the theater, where the movie would start in an hour. On the way, Sakura bumped into a man who seemed slightly preoccupied.
"Oomph... Huh? Oh, gomen nasai, little girl. Wasn_t watching where I was going." He reached down a hand and helped her up.
"It_s all right, it was probably my fault anyway." Sakura responded. "I_m really klutzy. I_m Kinomoto Sakura, if you want to know."
"Tanari Toouroshi." the man introduced himself. "And I_m sorry to hit and run, but I really must run. Good bye." And with that, the man hurried off.
"Wonder what he was in such a hurry about?" Syaoran muttered.
"Who cares?" Meiling asked. "We don_t even know the guy. Well, we know his name, but..."
"Yeah." Sakura agreed. "We gotta get to the Orange Road movie anyway."
After that run-in, the group reached the theater five minutes before the movie started. When it was done, they walked around for a while and chatted about inconsequential things, until Tomoyo suddenly said...
"You know, I wonder if we are ever going to see Eriol-kun again."
Everyone jumped at that name. Syaoran blanched. Sakura smiled softly. Meiling frowned, as she didn_t know Eriol that well.
"I_m sure he_ll come if he_s needed." Sakura assured her.
Meanwhile, up at Eriol_s old house...
"Ah, it_s good to be home!" Eriol declared.
"I thought that England was our home." Spinel said.
"Nah." Nakuru asserted. "Can_t possibly live THERE. No Touya."
"You scare me." Spinel said.
"I get that a lot." she reflected.
"Knock it off, you two." Eriol told them. "You_re free to go wherever you want and see whoever you please, after we get settled in."
"WAI!" the two magic beings yelled.
Meanwhile, deep within a dark cave...
A pair of ancient eyes searched the black mass of the twisting energies of magic. Suddenly, the head those eyes were in jerked back, and that head_s owner whispered...
"They are returning."
Meanwhile, in another dimension altogether...
"Hungry..." a raspy voice growled.
"Soon." another voice stated. "Soon, we will feed. On man-flesh..."
Meanwhile, back in the park...
As Sakura walked with her friends, she suddenly felt a terrible chill sweep over her, worse than anything she had felt ever before. Terrified, she jumped up suddenly and looked to each side.
"Sakura-chan?" a concerned Tomoyo asked.
"You felt it too?" Syaoran asked.
Sakura nodded. "Yes, but what was it?" she asked.
"Something very magically powerful, and very evil."
"EVIL?"
"Yes."
Sakura shuddered. She_d been forced to fight before, but never had anything evil been part of it. She wondered what this evil could be, and what it could do...
~*~*~*~
DLL: Eerie, huh? If there_s anything you don_t understand as far as Japanese words that I_m using here or Japanese names of the characters, ask me in a review.
Korax: And remember, pestering us for new chapters won_t help, it_ll just annoy us. We_re doing our best.
DLL: So, what_ll happen next? Will they bump into Eriol? Will they find the strange wizard? Will the "evil" surface?
Korax: Will DLL write an NC-17 fic?
DLL: Will I... 0_0 STOP THAT!
Korax: Hee hee...
