Hey everyone! This is my second fic but my first CCS fic. Just wanted to let you know. Anyway, this fic is AU but there is some magic in it. It's not that obvious but at the end of each chapter I challenge you to try and spot where it is and tell me in a review. Anyway, one note; logic books are books filled with word searches. And for those of you that don't know what a word search is, it's where your given a grid of letters and a list of words and you have to search for the words from the list in the grid. I'm sure you'll know what it is now!
Key:
"...enter words
here..." - Speech
'...enter words here...' -
Thoughts
(...enter my notes
here...) - Author's notes! Yay!
Okay that's it. So um...let's start the story shall we?
A twelve year old girl with auburn hair and emerald green eyes sat under a cherry blossom tree with a book in her hand. This book was a world champion class logic book. She seemed to have been breezing through it very easily. A short distance away, a small group of mysteriously cloaked figures was observing her carefully.
10 years later...
"We are your best, last, and only line of defence against a specialist terrorist group who seem to use almost… superhuman-like abilities in their workings and yes our top agent is a girl. I'd like you to meet Sakura Kinomoto…"
A now 22 yr old Sakura sat at her desk quietly biding her time with the 2005 world champion class logic book. Surprisingly this was what she was paid to do. Not exactly logic books but solving puzzles, generally. She was so engrossed in her work that she didn't notice a chestnut coloured haired gentleman walk into the room. (A/N: This is NOT Syaoran. I repeat NOT Syaoran….though it did look like him didn't it? XP) He glanced at her and walked over. Realizing that she did not notice him yet, he gently tapped her on the shoulder. He sighed softly as he saw that she still wasn't aware of his presence. Bending over her shoulder, he swiftly pecked a kiss on her cheek. Finally breaking out of her reverence she looked at him and yelled, "What the- I'm almost done! Gosh!" She then attempted to continue with the puzzle she was currently trying to solve. However, she found it quite futile with the disturbance that she had experienced. Groaning in exasperation, she closed the book and glared at him.
"Why the heck did you kiss me Hakujou!" She demanded.
"Hey- uh- um…I'm sorry about that but Namikawa-san wants to see you." The man stated nervously.
"It's okay Tatsu, I'm just kind of stressed." Sakura replied looking down.
"Probably because you didn't take your vacation." Tatsu stated.
She looked at him and it seemed that she had made a decision. "That's a great idea. You're absolutely right Tatsu; I'm going to ask the boss for my vacation!" She said triumphantly while walking out the door and heading towards her boss's office.
Tatsu stared at where the emerald eyed girl was previously standing. "Bu- but, he's going to give you a new assignment!" He shouted after her. It didn't seem as though the girl had heard and he sighed in defeat. "Oh well she deserves a vacation from all the work she's been doing around here." He looked at her desk and saw piles of completed logic books. He sighed once again and walked out of the office.
In the boss's office...
The door burst open and the man sitting at the desk looked up. Recognising the auburn haired girl, he put down the pen he was writing with and smiled at her. He beckoned her to have a seat and when she was comfortable, he asked, "Ah Kinomoto-san, I've been waiting for you."
"Yeah I heard sir, and there was also something I wanted to ask of you." She replied.
"Well what is it?" He enquired looking at her.
"I was wondering, sir, if I could have my vacation for the next week since I didn't take it during this month." She stated saying every word clearly so that she wouldn't have to repeat herself. She thought it rather embarrassing for the top code breaker in the organization to ask for a vacation. The man looked at her as if she were crazy. "But Kinomoto-san, we have your next mission ready for you!"
"Well I'm sorry sir but I think I require a break from all the work I've been doing so far. I have worked for the entire of summer vacation. Why not just spare me the last week? Please sir." She stated with a slight pleading tone to her voice.
The man, Namikawa, looked at her for a while and sighed. "Very well then Kinomoto, you will take the next week off but as soon as you come back, report to me immediately for your next mission." He said rather dejectedly.
"Thank you sir, I promise I will make good use of my time." She said while getting up.
"I expect nothing less of you Kinomoto." The boss replied. "Now go on, you don't want to waste the opportunity of an early vacation now do you?"
"No sir. Arigatou gozaimasu." She said fondly and left the room. Sakura nearly jumped for joy when she left the room, but, as a respected member of the Japanese Terrorism Prevention Society, she decided against it. She nodded at the secretary and calmly walked out of the pale green building and onto the pavement. Her step was brisk and her head down. She tilted her head up and closed her eyes, enjoying the wind against her face as she walked.
Suddenly, she was slammed into the wall of the building next to her. She opened her eyes hastily and saw a man around her age with navy blue hair and azure eyes. He was sprawled on the sidewalk and quickly got up. He turned towards her and opened his mouth to say something but she beat him to it.
"I am SO sorry! It's my fault. I wasn't looking where I was going! Are you alright sir?" She asked trying to dust him off.
The man looked at her and smiled. "Yes I'm fine thank you, so sorry for bumping into you, but I have to go so if you'll excuse me I'll be on my way." He said.
"Oh yes of course, sorry again." She said.
"It's no problem. Goodbye Sakura." He said with another smile and walked off.
She smiled at his retreating figure and then started back on her way. She stopped. 'Wait, how did he know my name?' She thought. 'I probably told him, he seemed like a nice gentleman.' She resolved and then continued on her journey.
She stopped outside a small light pink house and slid the key inside the lock. She opened the door only to come face to face with another door. She put her palm against the wall in a particular space and the door opened. However she came face to face with another door. She typed in the code for the door and was finally granted access to her house. It was small but quaint. She went inside but came out almost immediately after. Although this was her house, she rarely spent any time in it. She just slept, ate and bathed in there. Most of her time was spent next door in a larger building also owned be her. This was her haven. Inside the large building, she stocked multiple copies of almost every logic book in the world. She went inside and looked around at her neatly stacked collection. This was merely used to keep her skills sharp. She walked around admiring the shelves full of books until she came to a shelf with one empty space. You see, she had ALMOST every logic book. There was one however that she had been searching for, for years, and lucky enough for her she had found the last available copy was in a store in Japan. "It's time." She whispered to herself. She went back to the entrance, grabbed her keys and headed to the 'Ruby Moon'; the famous café/bookstore in the heart of Japan. Or so she thought.
Okay that's it for chapter 1!Hope you liked it. Anyway can you spot the magic in this chapter? It is kind of obvious. Well tell me what you think in a review!
Oh and if some of you didn't get what I meant by 'Or so she thought', you'll find out in the next chapter so stay tuned! XD later ppl!
