Meet the Family
It was a sunny morning and awoke a graceful young magician. "Oh oi, ohayo, Kero-chan!" She said as she greeted her toy guardian. Her name was Sakura, and about 6 years ago, she was named Mistress of the Clow Cards. The Clow Cards are a bunch of mystical magical cards used to create something from a source of magic, created by a famous magician named Clow Reed. Now she was in the eleventh grade, getting ready for high school like the way she usually did now. She was dressed in a blue Seiju High School uniform that all the girls there were supposed to wear. Her father, Fujitaka, called her down for breakfast right when she was just finished putting the finishing touches on her now shoulder length hair. "Oh, hai! Chotto matte! I'll be down shortly" and with that, she grabbed her bags and was on her way down to school.
Meanwhile, somewhere down in the southern parts of the city, not too far deep in the woods, was another girl waking up to the bright morning. "Gotta get up and make Kyo-kun and Yuki-kun some breakfast!" she said as she stretched her way off of her bed. "Hmm, I wonder what I should make today, miso or fried eggs? Lets see, Kyo-kun hates leeks so…" she said to herself as she put on her blue school uniform that the girls were supposed to wear at her school. This girl's name was Tohru and she was an orphan that was allowed to stay rent free with the Sohma's as long as she kept their family secret. It was no ordinary secret though. The Sohma family is a cursed family, where when a member who is cursed by an animal of the Chinese Zodiac gets hugged by someone of the opposite sex outside of the family, they turn into that animal that they are cursed by. She lives with Shigure the dog, Yuki the rat, and Kyo the cat. Frankly, among all of the drama, she continues to live happily among these people, and even does there housework.
"Still in good shape I see," said Shigure as he enters the dining room. "Hey, wheres Kyo-kun?" he says as he notices that Kyo is not there eating his friend eggs.
"Don't worry about that baka neko," says Yuki as he cuts a part of the egg yolk. "I'm sure that he is probably out training somewhere in the mountains so he can try and make another useless struggle to beat me again. He'll come back when he's hungry"
"Oh, sou desu ne?" Tohru sweatdropped as she patted her head with a napkin.
"I heard that you baka nezu!" says a loud voice from behind the sliding door.
"See?" says Yuki with complete calmness without even looking up. Suddenly the slidding door slides open to reveal a really angry Kyo.
"Why don't you kids rush off to school now? At least before you break the walls or something again," Shigure says as he has his obvious grin on again.
"Hai, Shigure-san!" Tohru picks up her backpack and she, Kyo, and Yuki walk off to school once again. Shigure just stands waving. "Those three never change."
Meanwhile at Seiju High, a class discussion is going on about some festival. Always a school festival, Syaoran thought to himself.
"We will have this festival a little different from most festivals though. This time we will be competing against another school, a school south of here. They will have their stands, we will have ours. However, our school basketball teams will compete against each other for school charity." Terada-sensei explained in front of the classroom. Sakura and Tomoyo just smiled. Since Terada-sensei was done giving the curriculum and explaining future events, he decided to give the class some free time to see what their plans would be. "Ah, did you hear that! I wonder what our stand should be," explained Tomoyo. "Dare ka ga, any ideas?"
"Ah, I know! How about shaved ice?" suggested Sakura.
"Subarashi, Sakura-chan! Great idea!" everybody yelled. Sakura just blushed. Sakura's blush made Syaoran smile a lot. "Then it's decided! Shaved ice it is!"
Meanwhile, back with the Sohma gang, "ANOTHER SCHOOL FESTIVAL!" yelled a rather usually loud Kyo. "We always have one and something goes wrong!"
"Baka neko, why don't you just be quiet for once when sensei is explaining something important?" says Yuki in a usually cold manner while staring at his book.
"Why you little-!" says an angry Kyo now balling up his fist.
"Onegai! Calm down you too," said Tohru in her usually worried, scared tone hidden with a smile. "It's important that this festival is fun. We have to pull together, all of us." This kind of talk from her would usually quiet them down.
"Now as I was saying, the festival will be featuring a competition of a basketball game between our school's team and Seiju High's. Seiju High is a school located in the city of Tomoeda, a city north of here, near Tokyo. Now you just need to decide what this class's plans will be." The teacher finishes. "Good luck, class dismissed"
"Why don't we make onigiri once again like before?" suggested Yuki, who was now done finished reading his book. He got the same reaction that he usually gets.
"Ah, if Prince Yuki says we should, then we should!" exclaim all of the girls in the classroom minus Tohru and Saki. Yuki just sighed while Kyo gloomed.
The day of the festival is now here and we have Sakura and Syoaran sitting down in the courtyard eating some fresh fruit that they had just bought at one of the stands. Sakura takes a bite of the fresh strawberry she lifted with her fork. "Ah, hoi shi! Ne, Syoran-kun?" asked Sakura. Syoaran just nods. Without even thinking, she accidentally drips juice on her skirt. "Oops! Be right back! Gotta get a napkin!" says Sakura as she gets up and runs off leaving Syoaran on the bench. Sakura was running so fast, but was paying so much attention to the stain, she bumps into an innocent bystander, making her fall to the ground. "Oh, gomen nasai! Daijobu?" she says as she notices the uniform of the girl being that opposite of theirs.
"Ah, watashi daijobu! Don't worry" Tohru says as she looks up at the girl who ran into her to meet the eyes of none other than Sakura Kinomoto.
"Honda-san!" says the voice of a very pretty boy running up to her. "Daijobu-ka? I saw you fall just now!"
"No, daijobu, Yuki-kun" Tohru explains to him with a smile on her face.
"Yagata" sighs Yuki in relief. Both Sakura and Yuki help her up. Sakura blushes at the site of Yuki, surprised that there was such a pretty boy who looked almost female.
"Next time, I'll be sure to watch where I'm going." Sakura promised as she bowed in respect. "I just really need to clean this stain." To Sakura's surprise, Tohru rapidly grabs a handkerchief and starts to wipe the stain.
"There, all better now." Tohru said with her usually kind smile. Sakura blushed.
"A-arigato," replied Sakura. "I guess I should be going back now.
"Matte," Yuki said in a hurry. You go to this school right? Do you mind showing us around for a while? Plus, I'm looking for my baka cousin, and the others."
"Sure. Just let me go tell my boyfriend." Sakura said now turning around. Tohru and Yuki follow her up to where Syaoran was waiting for Sakura's return.
"Sakura!" yelled Syaoran as he saw Sakura approaching.
"Syaoran-kun, these two are from that other school and need me to show them around. Do you mind?" Syaoran just shakes his head.
"Konnichiwa, watashi wa Honda Tohru," says Tohru as she bows a traditional introduction bow. "And this is my friend, Sohma Yuki." Yuki bows as well.
"Konnichiwa, watashi wa Kinomoto Sakura and this is my boyfriend, Li Syoaran," said Sakura as they do their traditional bows as well. "Well, let me show you around our school." It's times like this that make me feel good that I can do something good for people that don't involve magic, thought Sakura as they made their way to the first classroom.
