Love In Flames
Prologue
By: Dragon RainMaker {Dragon Wolf}
A/N: An AU!! I have never work on an AU before, this is my first try. Well, let's just say some of the ordinary CCS had changed (thinking: Some? Who am I kidding?) The plot is very different and another name I gave this story is 'A Fireman Story'. Oh yeah, and the cards are in it too.
Changes: Sakura is 18 when the cards capturing thing happens, she and Syaoran never ever cross path before, they never met. Syaoran didn't come from Hong Kong (but I am). It starts as Sakura just finish capturing her 1st card and the rest aren't really a big deal to be mentioned.
A Fireman's Prayer
When I am called to duty, God,
Wherever flames may rage;
Give me strength to save some life,
Whatever be its age.
Help me embrace a little child,
Before it is too late;
Or save an older person,
From the horrors of that fate.
Enable me to be alert,
And hear the weakest shout;
And quickly and efficiently
Put the fire out.
I want to fill my calling,
And give the best in me;
To guard my every neighbour,
and protect his property.
And if, according to your will,
I am to give my life;
Please bless with your protecting hand,
My children and my wife.

The fire flicker as the blazing heat cut through clothes and skin.
The forest was burning, destroying the trees, no where it seems it's going to stop anytime soon. From the middle of the forest, a small clearing surrounded by burning trees sat a female teenager at the age of 18; she sat on the ground sobbing with tears tickling down her cheek. Her green eyes look frightened as the fire around her got closer. That is not the best place to be in while there is a forest fire going on. And the only magic card she got is the one that started this whole fire, The Firey.
Her friends, Tomoyo Daidouji didn't come along and Kero, he did come but now went and call for help. Kero got half of his power back but his is fire also, it can't do much help. Everything is already worse and they don't need it get any worse.
Sakura Kinomoto lifted her head up when she heard the sound, the sound that she most welcomed now. The ringing bell of the fire truck. It gets closer every second and at the same time, Sakura started lifting her hope of survival. After a while she heard voices talking to surrounding people.
What the? Less talking just come and save me!
And some more seconds pass then a voice shouted over all the other, the captain, in Sakura point-of-view, is speaking to his squad of firemen.
"We will start our work in the direction against the wind." The captain voices the order.
Work against the wind? That will take forever to reach where I am! Sakura hope once again dropped to a new low point. This is hopeless!! I don't know why grandfather worked as a fireman before for what! They never do the right things!!!! She continues her thought of how bad firemen are and all that follow the line. She does admit though, she loved the stories of firemen that her grandfather used to tell her before he died.
"But sir!!" A different voice shouted to the captain. One that sounds pretty young too, for a fireman.
"What you want now, 10666?!" The captain voice shouted.
"The report said a female teenager at the age of 18 is still stuck in the forest, if we start working against the wind, she will be crisps!" The fireman 10666 shouted back.
BINGO!! BULL'S-EYE, 10666!!!!!! Sakura cheered the young fireman in her thought.
"That could be a prank, idiot!" The captain sounded annoyed.
A prank! Why you-
"IT'S A 'COULD' SIR!! NOT 100%!!!" 10666 shouted, not giving up at all.
"BUT I CAN'T RISK ANY OF MY SQUARD LIFE FOR SOMETHING THAT UNCERTAIN!!" The captain shouted just as stubborn.
Then Sakura can't hear any talking anymore. She felt the same hopeless as before, the only difference was, now she know some fireman out there are willing to go and risk their life's for civilians. Just when Sakura are thinking about her will and depressed stuff, the captain voice can be heard again.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!? PUT THAT AIR MASK DOWN NOW, 10666!!"
The reply came out calmly. "No sir, I wouldn't. I'm going in captain."
"10666!!" The captain sounded mad.
"Sir! Just let 'Wolf' work his way, he always come out alive! There is no stopping him!" A different fireman voice shouted, the voice is older.
Then everything is silence again. When Sakura look around her surrounding again and that's when she notice her head felt light, her vision are fuzzy and the sound of the fire flickering slipped out, she felt like suffocating, the smoke had got to her. And she fell on the ground unconscious.
Her last thought was, 10666...
