Disclaimer: I do not own Card Captor Sakura. I wish I did though. It
belongs to clamp.
A/N this is just a story I thought up in Latin class. And yes, my Latin teacher isn't very good.
On with the story!
Chapter one. The Storm.
Sakura was bored. It was a summer day and she was stuck in summer school. Everyday she always asked herself an eternal question.
"Why do I have to stink at Latin?" she thought to herself as she listened to the teacher drone on and on.
She lay her head down on her desk as the teacher started a new grammar topic.
"Today class, we will learn Gerundives. Can anyone tell me what a Gerundive is used for?"
The question was lost on Sakura for she was daydreaming about her Yuki at the moment. But one student was paying attention.
"A Gerundive is used for expressing the necessity of a word," said Li.
"Multi bene Syaoran.!" Said the teacher.
Sakura glared at him. 'Suck up' she thought. She continued to stare back at him. He was working on the grammar worksheet the teacher had handed out. He looked up and appeared to be startled for a moment, but then he fixed her with one of his 'if looks could kill' glares. Thoroughly freaked out by his actions, Sakura dismissed her revengeful thoughts and went back to her daydreams. Some twenty minutes later, Sakura was rudely brought down to earth by one of the teacher's announcements.
"Class, I am going to assign a project for every one. The topic for your project can be Culture of the Roman Empire, or grammar. I would suggest doing grammar, but that is just my opinion. This project will count as your final exam. It is 20% percent of your grade so be sure to take this seriously." Magistra Lin said.
Sakura groaned. 'Great she thought. Pick the easy topic, which I stink in, or the hard topic that will take forever. Choices Choices.'
" I will be pairing you up in groups of two. You and your partner will be working together for the next 2 months finding EVERYHING you can on your topic. I warn you. If you just put down information you already know, and learn nothing new, you will receive a failing grade."
Sakura now understood why she sucked at Latin. It was because her teacher never taught them correctly!
She always droned on and on but kept on covering the same basic topics! 'I can't believe she isn't getting fired!' she thought. ' But on the bright side, maybe I'll get paired with a genius and ace it!'. Yeah. That was better than nothing.
"Lina Inverse and Gourry Gabrieve"
The red head and blond made a good team it was funny how fate screwed with their minds sometimes.
"Ranma Saotome and Akane Tenjou"
"Miaka Yuki and Tamahome"
"Sakura Kinomoto and Syaoran Li"
Crap why did she have to get paired up with him! She turned to glare at him. He didn't see happy about the arrangement either.
"Class you are dismissed. You are required to go to the library for the last hour of today's class and talk out your project with your partner."
'Gosh' Sakura thought 'I hate that woman'.
Even though Sakura didn't really like Li that much, she supposed it could be worse. She could have paired off with that old man that all the other girls were always beating off. She decided to make the best of it and made up her mind to make a temporary truce with Li.
When they got to the library, Li asked the question.
"Do we want to do grammar, or culture?" he voiced whiled sighing at the same time.
Sakura thought for a second then came to her decision.
"Culture. Definitely" she said.
Li perked up. 'Maybe he hates Latin as much as I do' she thought.
"Well then, lets go to the museum to research and get pictures and stuff."
"That sounds good" At least one of them had thought ahead. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all.
After they had gotten permission from the teacher, they left for the museum. Sakura on her roller blades and Li on his bike.
They got to the museum fairly quickly and were amazed at all the Roman artifacts that the museum held.
Li was looking at the gladiator swords and noting that they were much like his own. Sakura's attention, however, was caught by a vase.
"Li, I think you'd better take a look at this" she said.
"What is the pro…" he stopped in mid sentence amazed at the jar like her.
There on the jar, were two figures. One that looked a lot like Sakura, and the other like Syaoran.
The two amazed teenagers looked at each other than said,
"Naw. Couldn't be."
After researching, they both went home. Later that night,
Sakura went to the Tokyo tower to sort out her thoughts about the vase. When she got there using the Fly card, she was surprised to see that someone was already there.
"Li!" she exclaimed.
Startled, he snapped quickly around.
" What are you doing here!" he said testily.
That caught Sakura off guard.
"I come here to think," she said. "How about you?"
He looked at her quaintly before nodding.
"Me too." He said quietly.
"Do you come here much?"
He nodded.
"I come here every time I need to think about something I don't understand." He said quietly.
"Oh". Sakura was amazed at how Li always kept his emotions pent up.
"It must be hard."
He was puzzled. "What's hard?"
She blushed. "Living in a foreign country all by yourself I mean."
"Oh. I guess so…"
They sat silently looking at the nightlife of Tokyo. Deciding to break the tension,
Sakura said,
"So what do you make of that vase?"
"That's what I came to think about. It most certainly is us, but how?"
At that moment it started to rain very heavily. A bolt of lightning cracked not 20 feet away from the tower.
Sakura screamed in panic.
"We'd better get out of here!" shouted Li.
At that moment, a bolt of lightening hit the tower.
Everything went black.
(A/N) ooh. Cliffhanger. You are at my mercy! Bwahahahahahahaaaaaaa.
