AN: OK, this is my first cardcaptor fanfic. I don't expect a lot, but please, I was about ready to give up fanfic all together last week. The story is short, I know, but just deal with it.
Not Longer A Child
Chapter One
*Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*
Sakura lifted her heavy eyelids. Why did school have to start again? She
looked around to see her 'stuffed animal', kero, kicking butt on a video
game. 'Wow, he's gotten good at that! How long has it been since I met him?'
Sakura wondered as she rose from her bed. Three years had past since she
met li, she knew that, but how long had she been a card captor all together?
She threw on her school uniform disgaurding her pjs on kero's head by
mistake. "Hey!" came kero's scratchy voice from under her top. He poked out
of the sleeve, "It's about time! AAAwwww, but you made me lose the game!"
He struggled to pull a wing out from the heavy cloth and it flung up only
to hit him in the eye. Kero jump into Sakura's pack as she smiled
apolageticly and continued down the steps.
Sakura grabbed a quick breackfast and ran out the door. She reached
school, as usual, just in time for the bell to ring. Her new teacher was a
tall, amber haired woman. She looked a lot like miss mikenzy, but sakura
hadn't seen her for years. Sakura fell backwards off her seat as the new
teach wrote the name "Ms. Mikenzy" on the blackboard. She got up to see
the stunned faces of Li, Melin, and madison also staring at the teacher.
Amazingly, Li still sat behind Sakura in the back of the room, as did all of
her friends who new about the clow.
At cheerleading practice, Sakura's mind wandered. They now cheered
for the soccor team that Li was on. 'It's amazing Li joined the team! He
never joins anything!' she thought, catching her baton flawlessly as she
had learned to let her mind wander without risk. Practice ended and the
girls went to their gym bags. A tall boy walked up to Sakura. (A.N: No, not
li) "Hi Sakura!" "Hi, harrison" she said, greeting one of her new classmates.
"Say, you wanna grab a soda with me sometime? How's saturday?" He asked
Sakura just stared at him. All she could mumble out was,"S...sure." "Ok, I have
your number, so do you mind if I call you?" He asked. Sakura, still in a state
of shock just nodded a slow "yes". Harrison departed and Sakura looked around to
see all of the girls smiling at her.
"I can't believe he asked me out!" sakura exclaimed to Madison later that
night on the phone. "Well, it's not surprising! You're head cheerleader, and
everyone seems to be your friend; With the exception of Melin!" It was true,
the more friends Sakura got and the older she got, the less Melin seemed to
like her. "Also, you probably have the best looking...um...figure in the
whole eighth grade!" Madison added. Sakura was shocked at what she had heard
her friend say. She had never even thought about that! Breaking the silence,
Madison asked, "You mean you've never even thought about dating?" "Once or
twice, but not that much." Sakura's shy reply seemed to come out childish.
"I have to go."Madison ended. They both said goodbye and each hung up the
phone.
Sakura got up from her bed that she had been lying on while talking to
Madison. It was now that she really took a mental note of the fact that she
had a full lenghth mirror. She looked in the mirror; It was true! She hadn't
realized what she now looked like! Paniced, she raced down the steps to find
tory. He was in the living room when she found him. "Hey Sakura." He said in
his usual tone. "Why don't you call me squirt?" Sakura asked in a rush. "I
don't know. The name just doesn't fit anymore." Sakura looked paniced, so
he asked, "Are you alright Sakura? You seem paniced." "I'm fine," She said,
rushing out the door. "That was weird, even for Sakura." Tory said to her back.
She ran to the park. The penguin slide was her old friend, he would tell
her what was going on. She crawled on her hands and knees into the Penguin slides
shelter.

And Now back to the Show.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Sakura's house, 8:30, Everyone is in a panic because they can't find Sakura)
"Have you called Madison? Li? All of her friends?" Her dad's voice came from
the kitchen. "Yes, I've called everyone!" Tory assured his father. Next the
police were called.
When the police came over, they took notes on Sakura's personallity and
other things. When they asked about Sakura's physical features, her dad said,
"Well, blue eyes (Sorry if I got that wrong), light brown hair. How long is it
tory?" Tory pictured Sakura in his mind. "Now that I picture her, I never
realized this until now, It's in a ponytail down to the middle of her back.
And she is about 5'4", wearing a blue school uniform." Tory answered. "Ok,
we'll look for her." The police officer said, and tory proceeded to give him
a list of places she might be.
(9:00, The phone rings)
"Have they found Sakura yet?" Li's voice sounded extra worried. "No, not
yet" Mr. Avalon answered. "Oh, ok. Call me when she get back. Please, Mr. Avalon"
Li begged. "Sure." He said, sympathizing with Li.
(12:30, phone rings again)
"I found Sakura. Come the penguin slide in park as soon as posible!"
"Li?" Tory asked. "Yes, it me, now get down here now!"
Tory and his father raced to the car. The drove at lighting speed the
the park. Tory kept saying,"Slow down, slow down, you're gonna get arrested!"
but nothing slowed the car's speed. Tory now clund to the dash board, praying for
his life. He felt like kissing the ground as they came to a stop, but there
were three grounds and they all kept moving back and forth. Finally they
stopped swaying and ran to the penguin slide.
As they got nearer and nearer, they heard Sakura crying and Li saying,
"It's gonna be ok, It's gonna be ok.", which only made them run fast. What
could be wrong with Sakura?
