Chapter 1: The Mystery Book
NINE YEARS LATER
Haruki POV
Hi, I am Haruki Kinomoto. I am 11 years old who has odd thing happening around me, especially when I am emotinal.
I woke up this morning thinking is going to be just like every morning
Boy was I wrong
Let me start from the beginning of the day till where my younger sister and mine got complicated.
I woke up to the sound of my alarm, unlike my sister, Sakura Kinomoto.
My sister, Sakura is a year younger than me. We go to the same school, Tomoeda Elementary School.
I am a morning person. I immediately wash up and head down for breakfast
"Morning"
"Morning squid" Said my older brother, Touya Kinomoto
My brother is a high school student. His school is right beside me and sister's school. He is a soccer player in school.
"Morning" Said my father, Fujitaka Kinomoto. He is a archeology professor in a local university.
As he place breakfast on the table.
"Sakura?" Asked my brother. He is kind and protective, but Sakura is quite naïve and innocent to notice his façade.
I was about to reply when a scream was heard…
"Look like she's up" I said with an amused look on my face
Oh right, my mother… she passed on when I was just 4 years old. Me and Sakura don't have much memories about her, but our father always tell us that she was loving, gentle, kind-hearted and beautiful. We know the last one cause my mother got married to my father when she was just 16 years old, she worked as a part-time model. There are lots of pictures of her around the house. It feel like she is still with us.
"MORNING" Said Sakura as she rush down the stair
"Morning Kaijuu" Said my brother
"I not a Kaijuu" Said Sakura
It would have continue on if my father have not step in, they can go on for hours bickering. It a wonder how the house is still standing.
"Morning" Said our father as he placed breakfast for Sakura
By this time, I have already finished my breakfast. My brother was about to leave for school just as I was.
Sakura notices this and quickly ate her breakfast to catch up to us. You see, My sister have a crush on our brother's best friend Yukito Tsukishiro. Though I think they are little more that best friends, but I am not going to tell her that…
After a while, Sakura and I reach our school and Yukito passed us sweet as he and our brother left. While, my sister was having dreaming look, pick up my skateboard that I used to ride to school only to hear Tomoyo, my sister best friend and our cousin.
She is the daughter of a president of large toy company. How I found out she was my cousin?
Well let just say, I overhear my brother and father talking one day while she was at our house.
"That was a smooth he has there, to give you a present as he leaves" She said
"HOEEEEE" Yelled my sister in surprised, it seem to be her favourite word when she scream or yelled. It can be pretty amusing and fun to watch.
"Morning"
"Morning Haruki-kun, Sakura-chan" Said Tomoyo "Oh you look absolutely adorable with those dreamy eyes, when Tsukishiro-san passed his parting present" Continued Tomoyo
My sister and I sweat dropped at this. You see, Tomoyo have a strange obsession of taking pictures and filming my sister. She said that my sister is the cutest and most interesting person in the world. Hilarious, I know.
I for one am grateful we are not in the same year.
TIME SKIP… A FEW HOUR LATER
All of our family member have either club activity or school. My father is busy teaching, my brother and I have soccer practice and Sakura have cheerleading practice. Though as athletic as she is, she is very clumsy and always seem to drop the baton on her head.
My club practice ended early today, so I waited for Sakura. As I was waiting, I took out my favourite comic. American comic, Batman. I am so addicted to it till I learn to read, write and talk English. As I was reading half way, Sakura came by and told me it time to go…
"But..but.."
"No, Haru-Onii-chan. And don try to skate while reading you remember what happened" Said Sakura
You see, there was this one time I read and skate. I didn't look where I was going and skate right to a light pole. It was embarrassing. Just leave it at that.
AT HOME
"Tadaima" we said
Sakura immediately went to check the fridge for any snack
"You're going to spoil your appetite"
She being mature lovely sister she is. She struck her tongue out. I merely rolled my eyes. It way too normal for me to bother.
Suddenly, we hear a sound coming from the basement. We thought it was a burglar, so I took a metal rod while Sakura took her baton.
We went down to the basement cautiously looking around. You see, the basement is our Father's library. As we were walking, we notice glowing light coming from one of the bookshelf. Sakura stepped forward and opened the book before I could warn her.
Unlike Sakura, I believe in magic. How else is there to explain my brother being a medium, which she is too afraid to believe (cause she is scare of ghost) or the already strange things happening around me, like that one time my teacher's hair turn blue cause he accused me of copying someone's else work, I got annoyed and you know the rest.
When she open the book to find a deck of cards, that look like tarot cards.
"Sakura, this could be dangerous. Let go back upstairs, I don't think there…" I stopped mid way " SAKURA" I yelled. As she just picked out a card and read "Windy"
Suddenly, a rush of wind blew within the basement and all the cards blow out of the house. I quickly hugged my sister protectively… Then a plush toy? I think came out of the book. That was really weird and let me tell you, I am the master of weird thing… and this is weird even by my standards.
"KONNICHIWA" Said the plush toy? Loudly in an Osaka accent?
My sister picked the plush toy? Which I concluded is NOT and examine it while trying to find the battery. It was amusing to say the lease.
"Ehh, Sakura. I don't think that a toy" I said
"Smart boy" Answered the thing
"But.. but.. How" Asked my sister
"Magic? " I replied not completely sure myself
"You're sharp. You must have been the one that waken me" Said the thing
"Actually, Sakura *I pointed to my sister* did"
"Oh… well. I am Keroberos, guardian of the clow cards" He said
"The what now?"
"The clow cards" as he pointed to the empty book…. "WHERE ARE THEY?"
After, much explanation. Sakura borough him to her room. He seem like he is meditating.
Me and Sakura quickly finished our dinner and excuse ourselves while Sakura took a pudding up. After a while, Keroberos or Sakura called him 'kero/ kero-chan'. Which honesty suit he better, I can't take a toy seriously.
After that, He explain what's a clow cards are. I didn't doubt him one bit. It strange, I could feel magic off him but I know he means no harm. But I didn't let my guard down… like batman..
He explain that it have to be return and that Sakura is going to do…
"CHOTTO MATTE"(Wait a minute) I yelled " Why Sakura" I argued
He didn't explain. He merely asked her to stand back. I was about to tell her not to but she did and he started to glow and next thing I know my sister is some cardcaptor… Somtime, I think my sister is just to trusting and naïve… sigh…
I tried argued, although no one seem to bother or listen for the matter. Apparently, the suppose powerful guardian decide to take a nap for…I don't know…30 years…
"Some guardian you are" I mumble
After a while
A strong rush of wind blew throughout the city, only to find out it was a clow card. I wasn't about to let her go on her own…
"Remind, why couldn't we change out of our pajamas?" I asked sarcastically
No answer
After a few terror scream and my sister's reckless moves. She captures the Fly Card, but she adamantly insists she does not want the job. All the same, she shows quick thinking and sheer joy on her first ride on the tamed Fly with me.
