A/N: Hey there everyone. I know, I know, a new fic is getting started when I have others to finish, huh? But, I just really had to get this out of my head, because I think it was an awesome idea. And I know that this fic is under Card Captor Sakura, but I'm going by the dubbed version and there was no Cardcaptors section to put it under, so please bare with me. I actually might change the category to Yu-Gi-Oh, considering there will be Yu-Gi-Oh portions in the fic and that many pairings will most likely have Yu-Gi-Oh characters in them. Anywho, I am looking for a few OC's to be in the fic with mine. However, because thus was taken down, and I am reposting it, I am not going to post a casting call form. However, if you wish to submit an OC, please look at the first review, and fill out the form there, or you can email me to get the form. For those who have already submitted OC's before the story was taken down, your OC's will be brought into this story, and there is no need for you to fill out the form again unless you wish to change something about your character. But note, if your OC seems to be a mary-sue (and my friend Ashli knows mary-sues!), it will be rejected at once. I don't, and others don't, want mary-sues floating around the fic. Also please note that there are a few exceptions to the form. However, these have been included into the form as well. Enjoy!
Ten years ago. . .
"Tell me about daddy again!" five-year-old Keely Braeden asked her mother, smiling. Keely's mother, Natasha, smiled back and finished tucking the sheets around her daughter and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Okay, but then you have to go to sleep." Natasha answered, tossing a smile towards her daughter: her daughter that looked so much like her husband. Keely had the same red hair that her father had, but she had her mother's violet eyes.
"Okay! It's a deal!" Keely agreed, laughing while twirling a lock of hair around her finger.
Natasha laughed, and began. "Well, your daddy is an explorer. That's a person that goes to lots of places and sees lots of neat things! Right now, he's in Africa, a small little country far away. He's studying monkeys."
"Monkeys?" Keely asked, tilting her head, looking innocently at her mother.
Natasha nodded, still smiling. "Yup. Monkeys like you."
Laughing, Natasha shot her hands out and began to tickle her daughter, who screamed with laughter and began to roll around on the bed.
After a few minutes of 'torture', Natasha let her daughter sit up, both mother and daughter laughing.
"So when will daddy be home?" Keely asked, a big grin on her face.
"I don't know." Natasha replied, giving her daughter an honest answer. "In a month probably. After all, he only left a few weeks ago."
"Do you know if daddy loves me and misses me while he's away?" Keely innocently asked.
Natasha smiled. "I know he loves you and misses while he's away. He loves you and misses you even when he's home."
"Yay!" Keely screamed, bouncing up and down on her bed while clapping her hands, a big grin on her face.
Natasha laughed once again. "Now, you have to go to sleep. So, lie down and close your eyes."
Keely did as her mother instructed. "Will you sing me a song?"
Natasha smiled and nodded, and began to sing.
Come stop your crying,
It will be alright,
Just take my hand,
Hold it tight.
I will protect you,
From all around you,
I will be here,
Don't you cry."
Keely watched her mother sing lightly, and smiled. She reached over and took her mother's hand in her's. It was nice and warm and soft.
"For one so small,
You seem so strong,
My arms will hold you,
Keep you safe and warm.
This bond between us,
Can't be broken,
I will be here,
Don't you cry."
As much as she tried to fight it off, Keely's eyes grew heavy and she slowly gave in to sleep, still holding her mother's hand. Natasha just smiled and admired how innocent Keely looked when she was asleep. She continued to sing her song.
"Cause you'll be in my heart,
Yes, you'll be in my heart,
From this day on,
Now and forever more.
You'll be in my heart,
No matter what they say,
You'll be here in my heart.
Always."
Natasha finished singing and allowed her hand that was not being held by her young daughter to run through her daughter's red hair. She smiled and bent down to kiss her daughter's forehead.
"You'll be in my heart. I love you, my daughter." she whispered, before standing up and slipping the blanket up to Keely's chin. When she was able to confirm that Keely was asleep, Natasha smiled once again and slipped out of the room, turning off the main lights, but turning on the small puppy nightlight that Keely had gone crazy about. As she slipped out of the room, closing the door behind her, Natasha leant against the door and thought about her daughter.
Her daughter was full of life and love for all things. She had a greater destiny than just going to school, grow up, and have a family. Natasha knew that her daughter's destiny was greater than that. But she didn't know how much greater it was. No one did.
Well, that was just the prologue. I know this chapter didn't seem so great, but the next chapter will be. That is, there will be a new chapter if you readers review and want more! Please review!
