A Cardcaptor Sakura fanfic


Chapter 1



* Please make sure you read the Prologue first! It'll help you understand what's happened.

My name is Arthur. Im 16 years old and I live in California. Im on homeschool right now so it gives me lots of time to dink around with computers and stuff. Actually I have four computers right now with nice fast internet. I'm just your normal wiz kid/nerd type I guess.

I speak little, I don't listen to music, I don't watch much TV. My life sounds boring I'm sure, but things got a whole lot more exciting the day I died...

"Get off that stupid computer and help with the dishes!" my Dad cried, frusterated. I finished tinkering with my computer and turned it on. The screen lit up and I knew the install was successful. My new 3d Accelerator card was working. I trudged out of my room and made my way to the kitchen, the sink of doom waiting for me as my annoying sister Annie waited for me to wash those darn dishes.

Pick up plate, scrub scrub scrub, give to annoying sister. Pick up plate, scrub scrub scrub, give to annoying sister. It droned on as the ominous pile of dirty dishes loomed over me. Stupid dishes. Why'd I have to do them? I'm gonna make my family rich one day anyways...

After what seemed like hours, a crawled back to my room exausted. I had accidently splashed my sister and she got all wet. She started whining about it (she's thirteen mind you) and she said I did it on purpose. Anyways, I went back to my room.

The computer no longer seemed interesting after washing the dishes. I lay in bed and drifted off asleep...

I woke a few hours later. The lights in the house were all turned off and it was completely dark outside, except for the starlight. I felt a sudden urge to go out there. I knew something was out there. I left the house out through the front door. Our small white table was off to the side. I went and sat down in the chair almost as if I knew what was going to happen. I thought I was ready for whatever it was. I thought I could handle it. I was pretty much wrong.

I looked into the sky. The stars shone down upon me. Then their light converged on the chair in front of me. A bright flash of white light lit up the front yard for a brief second. All was dead quiet. When the light vanished, I couldn't believe my eyes. Sakura, Keroberos, and Yue were in front of me. I thought they were characters in an animated series by CLAMP. I had watch the entire series.

"Greetings, Arthur." Sakura said. I replied still not believing my eyes. Sakura's eye's lit up as I said her name.

"I guess we came to the right person then." she replied.

"But, but your a character in a series, made by CLAMP!" I exclaimed. Sakura shook her head.

"Did you think that CLAMP could come with a series like that off the top of their heads? No, they are artists, but they are also capable of using magic. They thought the story of me was so good that the made a story out of it. People think that I am only a faerie tale then, and no one really knows about me... except for them... the Dark Hunters. The people that hate good magic, and only spawn dark energy. All they want is to eliminate me and Syaoran..." Sakura stopped, as if pained by speaking Syaoran's name. She dropped her head.

"I sent Syaoran to Hong Kong where he'd be safe, but I've come here to find a safe place to hide. I know they won't look for me here." Sakura finished. She looked up at me. "You're my last hope. Your the only one in North America that already has some magic in you, just enough so that it can be tapped by me, yet you don't realize it's there."

I swallowed this information like it was something that tasted horrible. But at the same time I knew I had to help Sakura. If anything she is more important to this world then I am. Sakura looked up. She was reading my thoughts like a newspaper, hot of the press.

"You are more important, because your the one that will save me. You are the one that will become me..." Sakura said, yet I said nothing back. I was in complete shock. I dropped ou of my chair and she was at my side to catch me. A single tear rolled down her face.
