Card Captor Sakura: The Next Quest

Chapter 1: Sakura and Her New Friends

Tomoeda, Japan

"Sakura! Sakura! Sakura!" yelled Kinomoto Fujitaka from downstairs in an attempt to wake his soundly sleeping daughter. "It's time to get up! You don't want to be late for your first day at school!"

"Yeah Sakura, you're gonna be late," chided a yellow stuffed animal looking creature who was jumping on Kinomoto Sakura's pillow in an attempt to rouse the teen from her deep state of sleep.

"I'm awake. Stop jumping on my pillow Kero-chan," mumbled a barely conscious Sakura as she rolled onto her back, her eye-lids fluttering open to reveal her emerald green eyes beneath. "What time is it anyway?"

"It's almost eight o'clock. Tomoyo and the Gaki will be here any minute now."

"Oh no! Kero-chan, how could you let me sleep so late!" whined a now very awake Sakura as she ran to the bathroom to take a quick shower. "And Syaoran is not a Gaki!" yelled Sakura back from the bathroom.

"I've been trying to wake you up for the past half hour, but you sleep so deeply that I couldn't!" responded a defensive Kero. Five minutes later Sakura rushed out of the bathroom and started getting dressed. "You're lucky you set out your clothes last night or you would be in real trouble." The night before, Sakura's best friend Daidouji Tomoyo had helped her pick out what she believed was the perfect outfit for the orientation day at her new school. Now fully dressed, Sakura took a look in the mirror at was quite pleased at the results. Although she always felt that her friend Tomoyo was much more beautiful than herself, she still liked how she looked in her pink sleeveless shirt that hugged her upper body and white mini-skirt with matching white knee socks and a pink ribbon in her short auburn hair to finish the outfit. With her ever-present smile on her face, Sakura bounded down the stairs hoping to grab a quick bite to eat before her friends arrived, praying that they would account for the fact that she was always late.

"Yay! Pancakes! With maple syrup! My favorite!" screamed an ecstatic Kero as he zoomed down the stairs to the breakfast table.

"Good morning Kero. And good morning to you too honey," greeted Kinomoto Fujitaka, giving a kiss on the forehead to his one and only daughter. "Do you have time for breakfast? I made some pancakes for you to celebrate your first day of college."

"Hai! Well, I hope I have time," answered Sakura as she sat down at the table and started chewing on a pancake. Kero was already in the process of stuffing a third pancake into his little mouth, without bothering to swallow the first two making his head expand to about twice its normal size. As Sakura was finishing her first pancake, she heard the doorbell ring. Assuming it would be Tomoyo and Syaoran, she quickly said goodbye to her father and gave him a hug before racing to the front door, only to find her older brother Touya already there.

"Good morning Touya," greeted the ever cheerful Daidouji Tomoyo.

"Hello Tomoyo-san," greeted Touya with a smile. He then turned and saw who Tomoyo was with and his smile turned into a frown. "And what are you doing here Li?"

Knowing Li Syaoran and Kinomoto Touya didn't get along at all, Tomoyo responded before Syaoran had a chance to say anything. "We're here to get Sakura to go to orientation."

"You already knew that Oniichan. I told you that yesterday," said Sakura as she walked up and greeted her friends.

"I still don't like the idea of this Gaki going to the same school as you kaijuu. He's nothing but trouble," remarked Touya, as he glared at Syaoran.

"Stop it Oniichan. Syaoran is not a Gaki, and I am not a kaijuu! Come on Kero-chan, it's time to go," called out Sakura.

Kero flew out of the kitchen, with half of a pancake still hanging out of his mouth. "Before we go," started whining Kero, "Can we have some pudding, please?"

"Kero! You just ate a dozen pancakes! But if you get into my backpack now, so we can go, I promise I'll get you some pudding later."

"Yay! Thank you Sakura!" cheered Kero as he flew into Sakura's backpack.

"Ok, we'll be going now. Bye Oniichan!" called out Sakura as she grabbed her stuff and walked out the door. Once outside, she gave Tomoyo a friendly hug and said hello to Syaoran with a beautiful smile. After loading her luggage into Syaoran's sports car, Sakura got into Tomoyo's new car and with Kero safely stowed away in Sakura's backpack, the group made their way to Tokyo and their new school and the beginning of their new lives.

Author's Notes:

Welcome everyone to my story! I hope you all think it is good, or at least decent. I like all feedback, whether it be positive or negative, but if you have something bad to say about my story, please be gentle. Anyways, as for the summary, this story takes place mostly in the Card Captor Sakura timeline. It is set in the future when Sakura and friends are all going off to college. At college they meet characters from Sailor Moon, Gundam Wing, and Ranma ½. The storylines from the other series, except Gundam Wing, all work as they normally do in the real anime, but they aren't really mentioned much. For the most part I only used the characters from those series'.
