I'm writing this fantasy fanfiction to the best to my ability. I hope you enjoy
Sakura began scrubbing the dirty floors of the Comer orphanage household. Knelling on the stone floors, her knees were aching but she feared to stand up, as Lady Madeline would send her up to her room without dinner again. Her auburn her was matted with sweat over her forehead, her emerald eyes were sad and filled with tears that threaten to spill.
"Sakura!" A voice boomed over the hall. Sakura scrambled to her feet and bowed her head.
"I want you to go and deliver this to Mr. Bailo" It was Lady Madeline. Her face screwed up as she looked on with scorn at Sakura. Sakura, being in her tousled clothes and dirty clothes, nodded obediently.
"Yes Lady Madeline" Sakura bowed down.
Sakura took the envelope and walked down the streets of the town. It was very dreary
After that heavy rainfall and chilly as well. An old fashion town (think of an olden day English town) Sakura knocked on the door.
"Yes, yes I'll be right out" A male voice echoed within the walls behind the door.
"Yes May I help you" A young boy around her age answered the door. He had blue grayish hair, tiny eyes and a warm friendly smile
"Um..um..um Lady Madeline sent this for Mr. Bailo" Sakura muttered having her head
down.
"I'm sorry but he isn't here but I'll take it" Sakura handed him the envelope.
"What's your name"
"Uhh.. Sakura" looked up at him.
"Mine is Zackori, A pleasure to meet you Sakura" He outstretched his hand for a friendly
handshake. Sakura returned a smile and shook his soft hands.
"Nice to meet you too Zackori" Zackori was obviously a rich young man from the fine
clothing he was wearing.
" O here" He dug down in his pocket and took out a bag of golden coins. Worth enough
for Sakura to but her own house!
"Are you sure you're giving this to me"
"Sure you look like you don't have much, you seem very nice so I guess I'll give you
some of my pocket change. I have really no use for it." He poured them in her hands.
"O thank you so much, domo arigatou" She bowed again and put them in her pocket.
"Bye" she said running off happily. When she got to the Comer house again she frowned.
'If Lady Madeline finds out about the money she'll be sure to take it away from me' Sakura thought sadly. She looked up and saw Kero waving at her from her windowsill, up in the attic. She quickly looked about to make sure no one was watching and motioned Kero to come down.
"Hey Sakura is that a bag'o sweets you have for me" he said gleefully.
"No it's coins a nice young guy gave it to me can you bring it up to my room if Lady
Madeline sees it she'll be sure to take it away.
"Sure" Kero took the bag in his mouth and flew up to Sakura's room.
Sakura entered in the house Lady Madeline had other orphaned girls cleaning and sweeping the floors. Yelling and scolding requests hear and there as if they had more hands than they had.
"Did you do as you were told" she turned up her nose.
"Yes Lady Madeline" Sakura bowed her head.
"Did he give a tip or money of some sort"
Certainly she must have been well aware of the generosity of Mr. Baily and was on to Sakura.
Sakura flinched under her words.
"n..n..no"she stuttered.
"LIES!" She gave Sakura a powerful smack across her face, she fell to the ground.
"Where is the money!" Lady Madeline demanded.
"I said I have no money" Lady Madeline viciously stuck her hand in all of Sakura's
pockets finding nothing
"I know you are lying! Anyway I'll find it and to make up for that! Ah what about this? Remember this!" Lady Madeline took out a ballerina jewelry box.
"Give that back!" Sakura screeched.
"You want it?" She said tauntingly. Then she threw it across the floor it made an awful
shattering sound as it split into many pieces.
"Nooo!" Sakura scrambled to collect the pieces. She picked up some and looked at it
tears splattering onto them. 'That was giving to me.. by my mom.. before she died.. my last prized possesion'
Madeline stomped away leaving Sakura hurting on the floor.
"I'm sorry Sakura" Kero said apologetically.
"It's okay Kero" Sakura said wiping her tears away with the palms of her hands.
A Clow card slipped form underneath the bed. It left a sparkling trail of magic as it flew over Sakura's head. A single Nadeshiko Flower floated down in her hands.
"Thanks Flower" Sakura said softly as the Clow card returned to her hands.
"Kero what should I do I can't stay here anymore." Sakura said placing the remaining pieces she gathered in her treasure box.
"Let's ask the Clow Cards" Kero suggested.
"What?"
"You may not know this but the Clow Cards would give you advice on what you should
do" while waving his hands Kero-Chan commanded all the Clow Cards to come from the
bed into Sakura's hands. They sat facing each other on the floor.
"okay now do like I say, shuffle the pack and separate it into three piles"
She did as Kero told her.
"Now take the one in the middle and lay four cards on the top five in the middle and rest
at the bottom."
She did this too.
"Okay now let's see what fate has in store for you"
