Girl Of Their Dreams
By: Kelly
Prologue
Not again, she thought. She was standing in front of the Tokyo tower, Syaoran was by her side, as well as Kero, and the Clow Cards were spiraling around them. Another dream, she realized, but that doesn't make it any less real. All of a sudden she felt something, another presence. Like...like a Clow card, but more powerful than one she'd ever faced before. The figure was standing in the shadows, merely a silhouette, dressed in all black, she couldn't even tell if it was a man or a woman, only that it was incredibly powerful. It wasn't Mitzuki-sensei. The figure mumbled something and Sakura felt a force surge through her, as though she couldn't move. She awoke with a start, Kero hovering nearby and asking if she was okay.
"I just had the same dream again," she replied, "I don't get it, I felt so powerless."
She proceeded to explain the fast fading details to Kero, while he frowned in thought.
"So," she asked, "what do think?"
"Well, if it felt like a Clow Card, the best advice I can give you is to expect the unexpected."
-------------------
Across town Syaoran awoke from an equally fitful sleep. His wasn't disturbed by thoughts of mysterious forces though, his was haunted by the thought that these might be his last couple of days in Japan. He'd have to tell Sakura soon, and leave her to battle the cards alone, he couldn't protect her as he'd vowed to do. Wei, his guardian, had been transferred back to Hong Kong, and his family didn't want him to stay so far away from home, alone.
He didn't want to tell his friends, his REAL friends, the people that cared about him for who he was, he had to leave, because he didn't want to leave. For the first time in his life he was actually somewhat happy. People liked him: Yamazaki, Chiharu, Rika, Tomoyo, Naoko, Yukito, and SAKURA, all liked him, just for being himself. And now he had to leave it all behind. Life stinks, he concluded, while dressing for school.
----------------
"Touya, wait up!!!" Sakura shot down the street on her skates, trying to catch up with her brother, and finish eating her breakfast at the same time. "Why didn't you wait???" she gasped, breathlessly, finally catching up.
"I didn't want to be late because of you, squirt." The siblings traded insults in the morning light until coming across a young man standing with his bike in front of his house. "Yukito hey! ," Touya called, "sorry we're late, the squirt just doesn't get the concept of an alarm clock yet."
At this, Sakura shot him a dirty look, but kept quiet. Sensing the tension, Yukito started a conversation. "So, did you two hear about the rollerblader in the park?"
"What rollerblader?" asked Sakura.
"Yeah, I read about it in the paper. Some girl around our age is challenging all the skaters in town to a competition, right?" said Touya.
"Right, last night she out-skated some of the regulars at the park and is planning on doing it again tonight. Anyone is welcome to try to beat her but she's supposedly really good."
"Anyone?" asked Sakura.
"Yeah," replied Yukito, "if they think they can beat her."
"Why, squirt?" asked Touya, "you thinking of challenging her?" He smiled derisively
"Maybe..."
"Good, I've got tonight off from work and I could use a good laugh."
"Touya!"
