Truth and Destiny
Disclaimer: I do not own Cardcaptor Sakura neither do I own Breath of Fire…all characters belong to the corresponding game/anime series…all original characters belong to me.
Authors Note: Well this is my first attempt to link an anime and a RPG together…if you have seen CCS you will most probably understand it…don't worry if you don't understand BoF very well…there won't be too much of it that you will need to play the game to understand, most if it is pretty self explanatory. Any constructive review will be appreciated. Thank you and enjoy the fic.
Prologue:
It's been 1 year since Sakura discovered the "Sakura Cards", but the weird things that were happening kept on happening…Sakura, Lee, Kuro and Ure (I don't know the translation of Julian's (Yukito) true form so…) aren't any closer finding the real troublemaker as they were before. But besides that…there were something else going on and Sakura is going to face that is beyond her wildest dream…
It was just another school day for Sakura…and yes our young heroine is late for school as usual…
"Ohhhh…I'm late…I'm late…" she says.
"Sakura if you woke up earlier this wouldn't happen you know…" Kero said sarcastically.
"Don't remind me Kero," she says…then she gasps…she feels something weird on her back…
"What's wrong Sakura you don't look right…" Kero says, floating up to her.
"There are 2 bumps on my back" she replies, stretching her arms touching them.
"WHAT??" Kero says…looking at her back…true enough there were 2 bumps coming out of her back. "Do they hurt??" Kero asked, gently touching them.
"For some reason they don't…" Sakura replied.
"Weird…" Kero replies " I don't recall you bumping into anything recently…did you?"
"No…" Sakura answered… "AHHH…I totally forgot!! I still have school!!!" she shrieks…
With that she rushed into the living room…
"Good morning, Dad!" She says as she approaches the dinner table.
"Good morning, Sakura…" He says smiling.
"Good morning, monster…" Her brother says…not changing his expression on his face…to his surprise she didn't say anything back, but a visible tear did from on her face.
What's wrong…he thinks…then he noticed the two bumps on her back…he gasps, uh-oh this isn't good…he said to himself. Then the 2 went off to school again…without further ado.
Soon enough…Sakura and her brother were out, Sakura on her trusty in-line skates and her brother on his bike.
"Sakura…" he started softly… "I'm sorry about this morning…"
"Huh??" Sakura was puzzled.
"I know more than you think…" he said quietly.
Sakura looked at her older brother…no he can't know all that…she thought…or can he?
Her thought was cut off by a shadow within the distance…
"Yukito!!" Sakura cried happily.
"Good morning, Sakura-chan" he says smiling.
"Good morning." She replied back.
"Good morning, Yukito." Touya said.
"Good morning." He replies.
Typical morning…add or take a few Sakura thought. She took a glance at the watch Yukito gave her, boy…I hope I'm not late she thought!
In the classroom…
"Good morning, Sakura." Tomoyo said happily.
"Good morning, Tomoyo." Sakura said smiling.
"What's wrong Sakura?" Tomoyo asked. "You don't look too good…"
"Gee, Tomoyo can read me like a book" Sakura thought. "I'll tell you later…now isn't the best time."
Then, there was that familiar footstep…
"Good morning Sakura…" Li said.
"Good morning, Lee…" Sakura said.
At that time the bell rang…class time…
"Yup…" thought Sakura…this is one typical school day…except for the bumps…
Math class was as usually…then History class proceeded…then it was Sakura's favorite class…P.E. class…but those 2 "bumps" affected her more than she thought it would, finally her long school day was over, and Sakura and Tomoyo was walking home as usual.
"So…can you tell me what's wrong now Sakura?" Tomoyo asked.
"Well…it's like this…" Sakuara explained. "I woke up this morning and found these two bumps on my back." She said.
"Huh?" Tomoyo exclaimed, she looked at Sakura's back, sure enough two bumps were on her back… "Do they hurt?" she asked.
"No…Kero asked me that also…strangely it doesn't hurt, and no I don't think I bumped into anything recently." She said.
Tomoyo touched the bumps… "Weird…it doesn't seem like a wound…it more like it is part of your body."
"Hopefully, it will be gone by tomorrow morning…" Sakura said.
"Yea…" Tomoyo replied.
With that the two friends went they're separate ways…
The Next Morning…
RINGGGG… RINGGG…
Sakura woke up right as she heard the inferno alarm…she sat up…rubbed her eyes a little.
"Good morning, sleepy head." Kero said.
"Yea, good morning…" She looked at the clock…it was a little past seven o'clock.
"At least I have plenty of time this morning…" she thought. Then she checked her back…hoping the two "bumps" would disappear by now…but instead…they just grew bigger…
"Ahhh…" she exclaimed "I can't go to school looking like THIS."
Kero flew over…he looked at her back.
"Whoa." He said "How did that happen…can you mange to hide them under your uniform…" he asked.
"I'll try…" she said… as she tried to get the right position so the "bumps" won't look too suspicious under her uniform. "Ugh…" She exclaimed… "This is SOO uncomfortable." She said.
She attempted to put on her backpack… "Ahh…" she exclaimed when the heavy books crushed her bumps. Then she proceeded to hold her backpack in her hands.
After she got ready…she proceeded to the lower level…there was her father cooking breakfast, and her brother already starting his breakfast. After they exchanged greetings…Sakura sat down on her chair…then she bumped her back into the chair…and winced in pain.
"Sakura…are you alright?" Touya asked quietly. There was a surprising tone of kindness and concern in his voice.
"I'm fine, older brother" She responded, then in a lower voice… "I'll tell you later, brother."
He immediately knew what she meant…she didn't want her father to worry…he smiled to himself… "That's Sakura…" he thought "Other people always come before herself."
"Okay…" he replied softly "But be sure you tell me okay?." He said.
"I will…" she said.
After they're breakfast…Touya was on his bike as usual and Sakura on her in-line skates.
"So…going to tell me what happened Sakura…" Touya said.
"Well…" She turned around…and did her best to show the things on her back to her brother… "That is…" she said.
Touya almost fell off his bike when he saw them…he knew something wasn't right although he wasn't expecting this…
"SAKURA…" he was practically screaming… "Why didn't you tell me earlier!!"
"Well…" she started "well…" she couldn't seem to finish the sentence.
"This is serious…" he started "Something is very natural but very disturbing about those…" he continued.
"What do you mean, big brother…" Sakura asked.
"I see what others can't see, I feel what others can't feel…I know more than you think I do… Sakura…those feel perfectly natural but something seems odd about them…" he said.
Sakura was speechless…there wasn't much to say…for some reason Touya seem dead serious and didn't have that playful attitude anymore.
"What in the world is going on" Sakura thought… "This is getting weirder and weirder."
