Disclaimer: It's always hard to say it's not yours. Wait a minute, no it's not. So here goes, CCS does and will never belong to me. Hey! That wasn't so hard.
Spoilers: I'm pretty sure most of you who read this have probably seen most of it or a least know most of the story.
Author's Note: First Cardcaptor Sakura fic. I have most of the fic planned out and came to creating a sequel. I became very interested in it without even watching it, not saying that I haven't watched it yet. I'm going to watch the whole series soon. I like CCS a lot and even though I'm a guy, I like these kinds of anime. I really don't think it's all that girly. I see it as more childish than girly. Well I'm going to stop so I seem like I'm ranting. Here's my first CCS story Binded Captor!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AB-Angel: Hey! It's me having another retarded conversation with my characters! This won't last long like others do so let's begin with my original characters. Daisuke, Kazuma, ogenki desu ka? (how are you?)
Daisuke: I'm good. I'm finally going to be noticed! I hated how the story revolved around Sakura and Syaoran, I didn't like being in the back unnoticed while cameras went around them and their friends.
Kazuma: It's all good for me. I wonder how I'm going to turn out in the story?
AB-Angel: Wait and find out! Okay I introduced my two original characters and I really don't feel like talking to the other characters so on with the story!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 1 - Spilled Secret
"RETURN TO THE FORM YOU WERE MEANT TO BE! CLOW CARD!!!" Sakura yells as she captures the Cloud Card. "Wew! That was tough, but we did it! We captured another Clow Card!" She jumps around holding the card.
"You were marvelous out there Sakura! You too Syaoran!" Tomoyo compliments them while putting away her camera.
"Really? You think so?" Sakura says.
"Of course! You're always marvelous." Tomoyo adds.
"Well, it wouldn't have been as easy if Syaoran wasn't here." Sakura comments.
"Uh, thanks." Syaoran thanks her and turning a little red.
"Come on! Let's go to my place and we'll have dinner there." Tomoyo offers.
"Really? Are you sure?" Sakura asks.
"Oh, you know how my mom loves to have you two around. So it's okay!" Tomoyo leads them to her house for a late dinner. After a while, the two decide to part ways with Tomoyo.
"Thanks again Tomoyo! It was great!" Sakura thanks her and gives her a little hug.
"Your welcome! Syaoran, did you find everything to your liking?" She then asks Clow's descendant.
"It was very delicious. I also thank you very much." He gives her a small bow.
"No problem! Bye and see you tomorrow!" Tomoyo waves bye to them as they leave her house.
"It must be great having her as a friend." Syaoran comments on Tomoyo.
"Yeah. She's so nice and caring. I was actually very relieved when she found out I was a Cardcaptor." Sakura tells her partner.
"You've seem to have grown quite a bit since I got here." Syaoran then tells her.
"I don't really know, maybe it's because you're here that I'm getting better." Sakura responds while giving him a warm smile.
He turns a little red at the sight and tilts his head forward to hide his face. "It's good that we're working together in capturing the Clow Cards." Syaoran then tells her. Shortly after, they reach the Kinomoto residence and that's where Syaoran says his good bye.
"See you Syaoran! Be careful!"
"I will. See you tomorrow." Syaoran waves and goes on his way home. He reaches home in a few minutes and turns in for the night. "(This day couldn't have gone any better.)" Syaoran's last thoughts were, thinking that everything today went perfectly, but what he didn't come to notice was a shocked boy who had just witnessed everything that happened that night.
"(I can't believe it! Sakura Kinomoto is the Cardcaptor!)" The boy gasps and runs home to await the next school day.
The next day, Sakura goes to school and meets up with all her friends, the same ones as usual, Syaoran, Tomoyo, Takashi, Chiharu, Rika, Meiling, and Naoko. While they're having a funny conversation, at the back of the class, the same boy is playing the sight he saw in his mind over and over again. Suddenly, his best and only friend approaches him.
"Daisuke? What's wrong?" His friend asks.
"Kazuma! You won't believe this," He then motions for Kazuma to come closer so no one could hear. "Yesterday, I was outside doing some errands for my mom when I saw Sakura Kinomoto, Syaoran Li, and Tomoyo Daidouji." Daisuke tells him.
"Yeah go on." Kazuma says.
"I was curious to see what they were doing, because Tomoyo had a camera and Sakura and Syaoran were dressed up and some kind of weird outfits. So I made myself invisible so they wouldn't be able to see me or sense me." Daisuke explains.
"Since when could you make yourself invisible?" Kazuma asks.
"Not now Kazuma, I'm trying to tell you something. They were there waiting for something, then suddenly, this thing started attacking them. I wasn't sure what it was they were battling, until Sakura captured it." Daisuke nearly finishes explaining everything to Kazuma.
Kazuma's eyes widen at what he's hearing. "You mean?"
"Yes, that was a Clow Card that she captured, making Sakura the Cardcaptor." Daisuke answers.
"What? No way! How could this be? That annoying girl is 'the' Cardcaptor." Kazuma nearly yells but controls himself. "(I gotta put an end to this! But how?)" Kazuma wonders.
"It's only because of all that research you did I was able to tell what they were doing." Daisuke comments.
"No matter." Kazuma then smirks. "Daisuke, why don't you get to know our new magical friends? And their friends too if you want." Kazuma nearly commands him. "See if you could find out anything else about them." He adds.
"But won't that be getting into their business?" Daisuke asks, unsure of Kazuma's request.
"It's okay, and besides, I was the one who's been sticking up for you ever since I found out your little secret." Kazuma reminds his magical friend.
"Okay fine! I'll do it. (I just hope that they don't find out what I'm trying to do.)" Daisuke walks up and approaches the group of kids with the two Cardcaptors with them. "Um, excuse me." The group then turns to him.
"Oh, hello! Who might you be?" Sakura politely asks.
"I'm Daisuke Shirai. I sit on the other side of class so I haven't really seen you guys around." Daisuke answers.
"Really? This is the first I've seen you." Sakura tells him. She then extends her hand to shake his. "I'm..."
"Sakura Kinomoto. I know, I memorize people's names quickly." Daisuke informs her but shaking her hand anyway.
"Really? Then what's my name?" Syaoran asks.
"You're Syaoran Li, your the transfer student from Hong Kong." Daisuke informs him.
"And the rest of us?" Tomoyo asks, pointing to herself.
"You're Tomoyo Daidouji, the rich girl who seems to always seems to have a video camera when you're around your best friend Sakura." He then points at the rest. "You're Takashi Yamazaki, Syaoran's best friend who can't seem to stop telling fictional stories, you're Meiling Li, Syaoran's cousin and I'm not so sure, but fiancée?" The rest gasp because of what he knows. "Don't worry, no one else knows. And you three are Chiharu Mihara, Rika Sasaki, and Naoko Yanagisawa." He finishes telling them all he knows and all I know too" Oh! And you Rika, aren't you engaged with Terada sensei?" Daisuke asks.
"Shh, no one's supposed to know that besides us!" Rika informs him.
"Uh, Daisuke. I'm curious, how do you know all this stuff about us?" Syaoran asks the boy they just met, crossing his arms.
"Well, I kind of do pay attention whenever I head about something, and I just know these things. (Also because of my power, I know these people are.)" Daisuke explains to them.
"That doesn't explain how you knew some of our secrets? (Thankfully not Syaoran and mine!)" Sakura then asks him.
"Well, I hear things from other people, I wasn't so sure that it was correct but I guess you guys confirmed it for me." Daisuke tells them.
"(Ack!)" They all yell in their heads, except for Takashi and Naoko.
"Okay that's it!" Chiharu yells out. "What are you doing here anyway? We were having a perfectly fine conversation until you showed and started telling things we don't need to hear!" Chiharu nearly screams.
"Well, you see, I'm kind of lonely. I really don't have any friends in this school, and you eight seemed to be the friendliest ones in class." Daisuke almost lies to them.
"Really? Well, then I guess it's no harm to let you stick with us." Sakura welcomes him to their group.
"Thanks, I'm sorry about all the secret spilling." Daisuke apologizes.
"It's okay. Besides, it's better that nothing is really hidden from anyone else here." Sakura tells him.
"(Yeah, like you being the Cardcaptor!)" Daisuke yells in his mind.
Syaoran then gives him a strange look, and doesn't really talk to him for the rest of the time he's with them. Later, when school ends, Daisuke leaves them to return to Kazuma. "Bye! It's been nice hanging out with you guys today! Hope we could do it again tomorrow!" Daisuke waves bye and goes on his way. "(Time to see Kazuma!)"
-----Back to the others
"He was actually really fun guy to hang around with. I had so much fun talking with him." Takashi tells the group.
"He's sweet also. I wonder why he hasn't talked to us earlier." Rika comments.
"He seems to be a little shy, but he really shouldn't. I guess we'll be seeing him again tomorrow." Meiling announces. Syaoran then pulls Sakura away for a bit while the others are talking.
"What is it Syaoran?" Sakura asks, a bit worried because Syaoran was the only one who didn't talk to Daisuke.
"I don't trust him. Something's not right." Syaoran tells her.
"Really? Well, I do sense something strange about him. It almost seems like he's hiding something from us." Sakura adds.
"No, it's more like he knows something and isn't telling us." Syaoran switches what she said.
"Well, I guess whatever it is, it's sometimes better if we wait and let him tell us instead of finding out on our own." Sakura tells Syaoran.
"Still, something's not right." Syaoran says.
"Well, what could be wrong? He can't be some kind of Clow Card or whatever. He's been in our class ever since the year began. Now I think about, I kind of do remember him in some of our class pictures." Sakura remembers and puts the image in her head.
"Okay fine, I'll go with your word, for now, until we find out more about him." Syaoran and Sakura then rejoin the group and they spend the day together.
----Back to Daisuke
"(I wonder if he wants me to continue hanging out with them. They're pretty nice people. I guess I was just too scared that someone other than Kazuma would find out about my powers.)" He runs and finds Kazuma waiting at the gate in front of the school.
"So Daisuke, what did you find out about them?" Kazuma asks, expecting a positive answer, knowing that Daisuke could always find out what he needed to know.
"Well, nothing big yet, but I'm just getting to know them, and they already accept me, except for Syaoran. I don't think he trusts me. Do you think he's on to us?" Daisuke asks worriedly.
"No, why would he? What reason does he have for not trusting you?" Kazuma asks his best friend, oblivious to what Daisuke had been talking to the others about.
"Well, when I first introduced myself, I had already told them who they were and some distinguishing thing about them. Like that Rika is engaged with Terada sensei." Daisuke informs Kazuma.
"Rika's engaged with Terada sensei? Since when?" Kazuma asks in a bit of shock.
"Hey! Don't tell anyone that I told you! It's supposed to be a secret. I was just able to see it. I don't know, when I met them, I already knew what their names are and a lot of things about them. Almost like I knew before." Daisuke explains to Kazuma.
"Maybe it's your powers." Kazuma suggests that that's the reason.
"I don't know. I still don't really know what my powers are." Daisuke informs him.
"Don't sweat it man. You'll get to know your powers and be able to handle them." Kazuma encourages him.
"But I don't really like having these powers. Look where I'm at, so far you're my only true friend." Daisuke reminds him.
"Well, you never know. Those powers could even be of great use to you, depending on how you want to use them." Kazuma tells him. "(I need to plan this out more. I won't tell Daisuke yet, he might not be too keen on the idea, but when the time comes, he'll have to do it to repay me for everything I've done for him.)" Kazuma schemes.
Daisuke then decides to change the subject. "So what should I do? Should I still continue hanging out with Sakura and Syaoran to find out more about them and the Clow Cards?" Daisuke asks, thinking Kazuma of more the leader type.
"That's a good idea. Continuing sticking with them. Don't worry about me. There's something I need to find and it might take a while to get it." Kazuma confirms.
"Okay. So tomorrow I stick with Sakura and Syaoran. Are you still going to be at school?" Daisuke asks him.
"Yeah, but don't go and talk to me. Syaoran might get even more suspicious if he finds you hanging out with someone else." Kazuma explains.
"Yeah, I know. I already told them that I had no friends and was kind of lonely. So it would seem weird if I was all of a sudden hanging out with someone else besides them. So that's the plan. I stick with the Cardcaptors while you find out what you need to know." Daisuke then plays that last line to himself. "In fact, what is it that you need to know?" he becomes curious in Kazuma's plan.
"It's something about the Clow Cards. Don't worry, you'll see soon. Now go home. I have some things to do." Kazuma sees him off. As Kazuma walks home, he begins to scheme more. "(So once Daisuke knows exactly where they live, and how many Clow Cards Sakura has, my plan will be almost complete. All I need is the complete cooperation of Daisuke. Crap! That's the problem, it'll be hard to get Daisuke to cooperate. Ever since I first met him, there's never been a mean bone in his body. He's always be kind and considerate of others. What am I going to do?)" He wonders.
"(Ah, it'll eventually come to me. Right now I need to focus the more important task at hand. Finding out everything I can about the Clow Cards and what each individual Clow Card is.)" Kazuma then runs to the public library instead of home to begin his research. "(I can't believe it! All that time researching about magic and everything is finally going to pay off!)" He runs even faster.
-------Back to Daisuke
"(Kazuma's always been a good friend. I still remember how he came to find out about my powers. We were swimming and a huge current pushed Kazuma and I to the deep part, making us both struggle to stay above the surface. Back then we didn't know how to swim well. I remember me struggling so hard, while Kazuma remained calm, but if I didn't struggle, we both might have drowned. Just when we began to sink, I suddenly found Kazuma and myself in a more shallow part. I still don't know how but I think I teleported Kazuma and I to safety. Even though I almost passed out, Kazuma was conscience the whole time and witnessed everything. Ever since, he's been there, always looking out for me, making sure no one else finds out about me and hurts me. Kazuma will always be my best friend. That a promise I will always keep to myself.)" Daisuke flashes back and remembers. He reaches his house and performs his daily deeds and makes sure he has the rest of the day to himself.
The next day brings a bright sunny day to Tomoeda Elementary School. Daisuke awakens and after his morning rituals, just kidding he sets off for school and even though Kazuma told him to investigate and find out more about Syaoran and Sakura, he kind of looks forward to being with them. "(I hope today's ends up better than yesterday, both ways!)"
On his way, he sees Takashi and Chiharu. "Oh, hi Daisuke! How ya doin'!" Takashi greets him.
"Ev'thing's great! How 'bout you two?" He asks the two.
"We fine. So are you going to stick with us again today?" Chiharu asks him.
"Sure, I enjoyed myself yesterday, so I want to spend more time with you guys." Daisuke replies.
"So what do you think of being with us?" Takashi then asks Daisuke.
"Well, in general, I like hanging with you guys a lot. But individually, you're all pretty nice people. Like, for instance, you, Takashi, are so funny. I think your stories are funny. I was pretty amazed at how easily everyone else, besides Chiharu, believed you." Daisuke explains to them.
"Is that so? Well, thanks a lot." Once at school, they meet up with the other six and class begins.
Daisuke then notices that Kazuma's seat is empty. "(Hmm, that's weird. Kazuma said that he'd be at school today. I wonder what happened. I'll find out later anyway.)" Daisuke wonders.
Class then starts and they begin their lesson. During lunch, Daisuke confronts Terada sensei to ask if he knows about Kazuma's absence.
"Well, his parents called and told me that he never returned from school yesterday." He answers Daisuke, not knowing how good of friends they are.
"What? He never returned from school! (What the heck was he thinking? He told me to stay with Sakura and Syaoran, but this is more important!)" He runs out of the class room to go around checking for Kazuma. "(Where could he have gone?)"
Then, from around the corner, he sees a figure hiding in the bushes. "(That better be him.)" And sure enough, it's Kazuma, who looks like he hasn't gotten that much sleep. "Kazuma? What happened to you? And where the heck have you been?" Daisuke asks, both worried and bugged by Kazuma's stupidity.
"I was researching but lost track of time. Then suddenly I found myself near the library shelves. I had fallen asleep in the library." Kazuma answers.
"How could you lose track of time? In fact, how did you get stuck in the library? Someone should've seen you and kicked you out!" Daisuke yells.
"I don't know. But I'm almost there. I almost found what I needed." Kazuma tells him.
"Well, that doesn't matter for now. Come on, I need to get you home." Daisuke starts pushing him a little to get him going.
"Hey hey! Remember what we talked about yesterday? You stay with Sakura and Syaoran. Find out more about them. Find out where they live and see if you could find out how many Clow Cards Sakura has." Kazuma reminds him.
"But how about you? I can't leave you like this!" Daisuke shows his concern.
"Don't worry. I can take care of myself. You just go on back. See ya later." Kazuma walks away, so tired that he's nearly slouching.
"I never thought that he could be so stupid." Daisuke tells himself. He then goes back to join the others in whatever they're doing.
"Hey, it's Daisuke! Where've you been?" Tomoyo asks.
"Uh, just picking up my lunch from my mom. I forgot it at home." He lies.
"Well, that's okay. We just finished out lunch." Naoko informs him.
"That's cool. So what are you guys doing?" Daisuke asks the group.
"We're playing a card game. It's called Dai Hin Min. Ever heard of it?" Sakura asks.
"Yeah, sure. Can I join?" Daisuke then asks, taking a seat beside Sakura. He notices that Syaoran's not going to play and is just watching. "Are you going to play?"
Syaoran closes his eyes and answers, "I don't play with cards (I use them.)"
"Suit yourself." Sakura tells him as she removes the deck of cards from her bag. While she's doing that, Daisuke notices the Clow Cards in her bag. He decides to wait later and he if she could talk to him about that. They play some games until lunch ends.
Class continues until school ends. Daisuke decides this time to stick with them after school, but since they didn't plan on doing anything today, they split and go their separate ways. Daisuke follows Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, and Meiling home.
"So how was school today for you?" He asks them.
"It was good." Sakura answers.
"I had fun." Tomoyo replies.
"S'okay." Syaoran answers.
Then Daisuke decides to act as innocent and unknowing so he could find out more about the Clow cards. "Uh, Sakura," she turns to him, "I noticed these weird cards in your bag as you were removing the playing cards. What were they?" Daisuke asks.
"(Oh crap! He did not see them!) Well, uh, they are...um, what's that name again?" Sakura desperately tries to find an answer that's not true.
"Are they those fortune telling cards, or whatever they're called?" Daisuke then asks, knowing that she can't seem to think of an answer.
"Yeah! That's it!" Sakura answers loudly, pointing at Daisuke since he's the one who said it.
"I've always wanted to see what those kind of cards looked like. Can I see them?" Daisuke requests.
"(Uh oh. Well, what could be the harm? It's not like he knows what they really are.) Okay sure!" She takes out the cards and lets him see.
"Cool! So how do you use them?" He asks, whiling flipping through them, memorizing every single one.
Sakura then decides that the truth on how to use fortune telling cards might be better than a lie. "I don't know. A friend gave them to me."
"Really? They look awesome!" He then flips the card over. "What's this? Clow? What's that?" Daisuke asks, acting confused.
"Well, each card has to have a name of the company that produced them. In this case, it's the Clow company that produces these cards." Sakura lies.
"Never heard of them. Oh well. Thanks, they're cool looking cards. (Now I can tell Kazuma how many and which Clow cards she has.)" Daisuke tells himself, having a great memory.
They then reach Syaoran and Meiling's apartment. "Bye Syaoran, bye Meiling, see you in school tomorrow!" Sakura, Tomoyo, and Daisuke wave bye to them.
"See ya guys!" Meiling tells them.
"(So this is where Syaoran lives, gotta remember that.)" Daisuke tells himself. "So where do you live Sakura?" Daisuke asks, getting the last bit of information he needs for Kazuma.
"Not too far from here. You'll see." After leaving Tomoyo's house and Tomoyo, Sakura takes Daisuke to see her house. "This is where I live? You live anywhere around here?" Sakura asks.
"Well, not really, it's kind of far but I don't mind walking home by myself." Daisuke answers her. "(Now I know where Sakura lives. Now I have to see Kazuma!) Well, I'll be seeing you around. Thanks for hanging with me today."
"No problem! Bye Daisuke and see you tomorrow." They wave bye to each other.
After Sakura enters her house, Daisuke finally calls out to the person who's been following him.
"Okay Syaoran, what do you want?" Daisuke asks with some seriousness.
"I want to know what you want, and why you're trying to get close to us." Syaoran responds.
"What? Is it so much to want to have friends?" Daisuke answers with some sarcasm.
"No it isn't, but prying into our business is. Who is that guy you were talking to today at lunch. I knew you were lying." Syaoran asks him.
"He's an acquaintance. I was worried when Terada sensei told me why he was absent." Daisuke informs the boy, almost telling the truth.
"Why was he absent?" Syaoran asks, making sure he has a plausible answer.
"His parents called and said he never returned home yesterday. That's why." Daisuke answers.
Syaoran believes this and asks more questions. "Who is Kazuma Inoue?"
Once Daisuke hears this question, he immediately starts to worry. "(Crap! I hope he doesn't know him!) He's the one I was talking to today. Why?"
"Because I know that he's your best friend, in fact, your only friend before Sakura." Syaoran informs him.
"(Shoot! He's got me!) And, what if he's my best friend. Something wrong with that?" Daisuke asks him.
"That means you lied. You told Sakura that you were lonely and had no one to be with." Syaoran tells him.
"Okay, you got me there." Another excuse suddenly comes to him. "Kazuma just told me that I needed to be more outgoing and try and make more friends." Daisuke lies again.
"So why didn't you just tell us that?" Syaoran then asks, knowing that Daisuke's story doesn't make sense.
"I don't know. Maybe because I wanted you guys to feel sorry for me and let me hang with you." Daisuke lies once more.
"That's not the way you do it. If they find out that you've been lying to them, they're not going to be happy." Syaoran believes him. "Okay, I believe you, for now. I'm not going to tell them, but you should. See you later Daisuke." Syaoran leaves him and heads back to the apartment.
Daisuke then slips to the ground in relief. "(Weh! I thought he'd never leave. Better tell Kazuma quick, so we could get this over with.)" He starts running to Kazuma's house to tell him everything he's found out and to find out what Kazuma's been doing.
