The Second Born
I do not own any Cardcaptor Sakura and Kamichama Karin characters. I own the story line, though.
Okay, I had this story in mind for a LOOONG time. This is my first story, so, please be nice!
It all starts one terrifying day. It was raining very hard, and thundering like crazy. At the Kujyou Residence, 10 year old Himeka chan was preparing lunch, while Kazune kun was furiously studying to fulfill the promise he had just said to Himeka.
"I will become strong and protect you!" So far, he became better at fighting, and had his grades rise from Cs to As.
"Rain rain go away, come back another day!" Himeka-chan quietly sang as she made some *onigiri. Then, out of nowhere, came a loud, ear-piercing "Ding Dong!"
"Oh God" Himeka chan said worriedly. "I wonder who would come to visit when there's this kind of weather."
She quickly raced down the long hall and to the front door, and opened the door. And she stared. She couldn't help it. Out in the cold darkness, stood a very young girl, probably 2 at the most.
She had very long, blond hair that reached her feet. It was dripping wet, and her clothes were so tattered that it seemed as if it would fall off any moment. And then she fell, right onto Himeka. That was when Himeka screamed. Kazune-kun, of course, came running out of the study room, yelling.
"What happened Himeka?" But as soon as he saw the unconscious toddler, he stopped in his tracks. He just stared, just like how Himeka did previously, mouthing words that could be translated to"What the heck".
Snapping out of her shock, Himeka screamed at Kazune. "Help Kazune-chan! Sh-She fainted."

Himeka took a wet towel and put it on the little, still unconscious, girl's head. She felt very scared and nervous. The little girl had an incredibly high fever, and Himeka didn't know if she was going to make it or not.
She had changed the little girl's tatters into warm, comfortable, clothing, and dried her hair. That was when she found something. The girl had three necklaces, and a pack of cards. Two necklaces looked alike, both looking like keys. The other one was a shell, with a white pearl inside. The cards were a bit unusual as well, each one having a picture and a name. One read Windy. Kazune-kun sat beside Himeka, examining the necklaces. "I don't know about this." he said. "These necklaces don't look like toddler toys." Himeka shook her head, and replaced the wet towel with a colder one. "Don't touch that, Kazune-chan, it's not yours."
After one hour of sleep, the girl's fever cooled down. Himeka was relieved, and even Kazune-kun looked happy that he didn't need to handle a corpse. After another 10 minutes, the girl's eyes fluttered opened.
Himeka was surprised to see that her eyes looked like Kazune's, sky blue, but big, and more innocent. Himeka helped the girl to a sitting position, and smiled gently. "What's your name?" She asked. "Where are your parents? Did you lose them in this storm?"
The little girl shook her head, and stared blankly at Himeka. "My name is Sakura. My parents didn't want me anymore. I'm just a discarded toy." Kazune-kun's eyes widen in surprise at the 2 year old's vocabulary. Sakura then held her hand to her neck, and, realizing that nothing was there, panicked.
"Where are my necklaces? Where are my cards?" She literally screamed. Himeka raised her hands in a calming gesture, grabbed Sakura's only belongings from the table, and gave them to her. Sakura calmed down immediately, and cradled the things in her hands. Kazune-kun coughed, and asked "I am curious to know what those are", pointing at the things held in Sakura's hand. Sakura nodded. Pointing to the shell necklace, she started to explain.
"This is my only memento of my parents, and the others are things my only friend gave to me." Kazune-kun considered Sakura's brief explanation and nodded. Sakura then looked at Himeka. "I am hoping to become a servant for you guys. I have nowhere else to go, so…" Himeka shook her head. "I think a servant is too much, so we'll adopt you!
End of Chapter 1
Hope you liked it! Please review this! Like I said, this is my first story, so I want some people to point out my mistakes and what I could do better.
*onigiri is a Japanese food made from white rice formed into triangular or oval shapes and often wrapped in seaweed.
