The Wizarding World Book One

Our Destiny

Chapter 2

As Sakura heard the sirens of the police cars she knew Tomoyo's mother called them and were now looking for her.

But she was long gone now. Only in the distance she could hear them.

"Alright. Where are you Eriol?" She asked herself.

She walked around in the dark of night in the woods.

If this was where this guy was at that could help, she knew she would find her father.

"Sakura." Whispered the book.

Sakura grabbed this odd book that was with her fathers books left to her. Some other books looked odd to her.

But this one, a sun, moon, star and a lion, kept on speaking to her.

"Oh. Hello." Spoke a voice.

Looking up Sakura was faced with a old man.

"Oh. I'm sorry. I was just-"

"It's quiet alright. You look young to be out and about in the dark here." He said.

"I was just looking for someone. I'll be on my way." Sakura said.

"Who are you looking for?" Asked the old man.

Sakura turned back, the man was very tall. He looked really wise too.

"Eirol." Sakura said.

"Ah! I do believe I know where he lives. I'm house sitting for him at the moment. He should be back in a day or two." Said the old man.

Sakura felt like she could believe him.

"Follow him." The book whispered something else this time.

"Come on. It's dark and I'm sure you need your rest." Said the old man.

"Follow him." The book said again.

"Why should I?" Sakura asked. Not expecting the book to answer.

She followed the old man and found a small cabin.

"Here we are. It's a little small but it should do." The old man said.

"Okay. Thank you." Sakura said.

"I'm Albus." The old man said.

"Sakura. Kinomoto." She told him.

Albus looked pleased and surprised at the same time.

"Come on it Miss Kinomoto." Albus said.

Sakura went in. It was quiet small.

There were pictures on a table and by he fireplace.

A young boy and his father. But the father looks to be cut off in the frames.

"The pictures were a little big. Eriol didn't mind it. He still kept them."

"Eriol is the..boy?" Sakura asked.

"Why yes. You didn't know that?"

"No." Sakura said. Why was she sent to speak to another child.

"He's not what he seems to be. He's really old. We look older then we look." Albus said. "You look tired. Why don't you get some rest." Albus said.

Sakura was shown a spare bedroom. She set herself up and tried to get some rest.

"I'll find you dad." She said tears falling from her eyes.

By morning, Sakura woke to the smell of bacon, eggs, chocolate milk, and toast.

"Wow! I've not had this is years." Sakura was so happy.

She began to stuff her face. She loved it. She felt like she was herself again.

No princess things to do. No eating properly. And no privet teachers.

"Sakura." Was it that book again?

Sakura found the book on the table next to her.

"How did that get there?" Sakura was sure the books were in her bag. She didn't get them out. so why are they here?

"Open me." The book whispered.

"Open you? Why?" Sakura didn't understand.

But then again, she was talking to a book.

Shrugging it off, Sakura opened the book.

A light blasted through the whole room. It was as if the morning light had just come up over the hill.

It was all golden and bright.

"What in the world?" Sakura asked.

Then something came out of the book.

A...bear?

Once it was done, the bear fell to the floor.

Sakura picked it up. "Hello. Are you okay?" She asked.

"I'm talking to a stuffed teddy bear what am I-"

"A stuffed WHAT?!" The bear flew up out of her hands and was yelled and shouting in an angry tone at her.

"What?"

"That's what I want to know! Who are you anyway?" It asked.

"I'm Sakura Kinomoto." She said. Still in shocked over the fact, a bear, with wings, is flying, talking, and came out of that odd book of her fathers. Oh gosh what has her father done?

"Sakura Kinomoto. Alright. Why do you have my masters book?"

"Who's your master?"

"Clow Reed." The bear said.

"Oh. Well, I found this book with my father's collection. He said it was passed to me."

"Well then, where is your father?"

"Missing. For three years." Sakura said.

"Three years? Wait, what year is this?" The bear asks.

Sakura told him.

"Oh my. I've been locked in that book for almost a thousand years." The bear sat on the table.

Sakura sat in her chair.

"What so I call you? I told you my name."

"I'm Cerberus."

"Cerb- I'll just call you Kero." Sakura said.

"I still can't believe-Who is your father?" Kero asked.

"Fujitaka Kinomoto."

"Fujitaka? But that's...Why are you in Lord Eriol's house?"

"My brother's best friend said he's help me find my father. I ran away from my best friends house to come and find my father. I was tired of being treated like a child."

"But you're nine years of age." Kero said.

"So?" Sakura snapped.

"Sorry. Eriol and Fujitaka. I know them as the Reed twins. Sons of Clow Reed of sorts." Kero said.

"Well, my father is a Kinomoto. And Eriol is a Hiragizawa."

"Yes. He doesn't take the same name. Like I said, "Of sorts." Kero said.

"So, the man in that photo, is that Clow Reed?" Sakura pointed to one of the frames.

"Yes. But this is...Why is his head cut off?" Kero asks.

"I don't know." Sakura said.

"Well, why do YOU have this book? Why did you even open it? Only one with very powerful magic can ever open and read it." Kero said.

"I'm sorry. Did you just say magic?"

"Yes." Kero nodded.

"But magic isn't-"

"I swear. if I hear one more person say that I'm going to lose it." Kero snapped.

"Okay. Then I won't say it. But still." Sakura crossed her arms.

"Look, this book...Wait. You have all these books. Why do you have all these magic books?"

"My father left them for me. And since he's been missing for three years because of some man in black wearing a green mask and pale hands, I don't know WHY my father has magical books and left them for me." Sakura said.

Kero circled Sakura a few times before opening the book her came out of.

"What do you see in this book?" He asked.

Sakura rolled her eyes but looked.

"This book is the property of one Clow Reed and his family.

For the magic of the whole of Japan this is to not be used.

Only for the family can read or open this book, by the power of Clow Reed himself.

No witch or wizard will ever use this for bad.

If this book is used for bad, it will lock itself from the family, until the guardian chooses the next successor of Clow Reed himself."

Sakura read is out loud.

Kero had his mouth dropped.

"How? How did you read that? And you opened it. How...who are you Sakura Kinomoto?" Kero was so shocked he passed out.

"Oh great." Sakura now had a problem.

By the afternoon Sakura fixed some tea and cookies when Kero finally woke up.

"This is really good. You cook like this often?" Kero asked.

"I learned when my mother died." Sakura asked. "My brother taught me. And I was...two when I started. He told me about simple things. I learns fancy things because of Tomoyo's mother. My best friend." Sakura smiled.

"You miss them? From running away?" Kero asks.

"No. Well, yes and no." Sakura said. "I miss Tomoyo, but not her mother. I know she hates my father for taking my mother away from her as she puts it. But, my mother loved my father and he loved her. She has no right to lock me up in her house like a prisoner." Sakura added.

"She just doesn't want you do disappear too. Like your father." Kero said.

"She thinks my father left us. Me and my brother, Toya, who's in a coma."

"Three years in a coma?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"And you said, man in black with green mask and pale...Oh no." Kero didn't sound happy.

"What?"

"Was there anything about this man that set you off?"

"He offered me his hand. That was all." Sakura said. "What's going on exactly?" Sakura asked.

Kero went to the book and checked it for something. Flipping over every page in the book.

"Oh good. He didn't touch the book but, then...What was he doing at your house?" Kero turned slowly.

Sakura stood not understanding what was going on.

"What is it about that man? I know he took my father."

"No Your father, I think he ran. Thinking he was after him. But really, I believe, that man in black, was after you, Sakura."

Sakura didn't know what to think.

The memory came flooding back. Her brother on the floor out cold. Calling him. Telling him to wake up.

Calling for her father as she walked in the door to her own home.

And then, a man, wearing this black cloak, stood over her and her brother. Holding out his hand to her.

"Come with me. We've been looking for you."

The pale hand didn't scare Sakura. Nor did the green mask of a boar.

It was his words.

With a scream. A golden light came out of her. Sakura saw the light push the man away from her, and out of her house. It pulsed like a heart.

Surrounding her and the whole house. Protecting her.

The as the light faded, Sakura passed out. And nothing made sense.

Sakura remembered the man speaking to her. It wanted the book. But it also wanted her.

She had magic. And she didn't know it. How does she have magic?

Neither her mother nor father ever mentioned it. And Toya didn't of all people.

So how was she this powerful little girl who can open a book who is the most powerful wizard in all of Japan?

What was her connection to this, Clow Reed?

"I'm back. Oh! Cerberus. You've awoken." It was Albus.

"Albus! Good lord my friend. You've grown old." Kero said.

"She opened the book?" Albus asked.

Sakura slowly turned, the old man, he was a wizard too. Meaning Yukito must have known Eriol was a wizard.

"I'm a witch." Sakura said. And fainted. She couldn't take all this information.

All she wanted was to find her father, wake her brother up, and go back to her normal life.

But I guess, that life, died three years ago. Sakura will never be normal.

"Oh great! She's out of it." Kero complained.

"No worry. I've sent word to Eriol of her being here. And to a few others who know of her being here. I've asked another friend to come and care for her till Eriol returns." Albus said.

"What happened? Where is Clow Reed?" Kero asks.

"He's fine. He's at Hogwarts. He's perfectly alive too." Albus told him.

"And Eriol. And Sakura's father-"

"They both are them. The clone sons of Clow Reed. And his daughter, is right here." Albus pointed to Sakura.

"Her? Are you sure? She's as pwoerful as-"

"I am. And she needs to find her father. Before they do."

"Those followers of him. All of them."

"You-Know-Who hasn't been seen in many years. But his followers of students, Eriol has been tracking over the last three years."

"So he knows who she is?" Kero asks.

Albus didn't answer however.

"Great."

"She doesn't exist. So, now she's been found, we have no choice." Albus said.

Kero didn't like this. "Guess, she'll have to learn the Card Captor spell book now. And be it's protector." Man, Kero hated this. She was only a little girl.
