Ch: 01
By: Kenji Ohgami
A/N: How did you like the start so far? Don't worry, everyone in CCS while get a different role to play, that or they stay the same like...like that woman who open the Twin Bells (something around that)hmm...what's her name again?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Sakura open her eyes with somewhat pain. When she did open her eyes, it stings like bees sting. Everything isn't clear enough to make out any of her suroundings and the same goes to her head too. She could feel that she was lying against a flat soft surface, lights all around her and hands full of warmth holding both of her hands.
It's this how it is in heaven?
A figure head popped into her sight, staring right back at her. "Is this heaven?" Sakura asked the figure.
The figure respon with a pinch on her face then the figure said "You wish, monster."
Sakura rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand and clearly saw the figure, on her left was Tomoyo and her right was her dad and not to mention, the figure who pinched her was her expert-to-make-Sakura-mad brother, Touya.
"Tomoyo, dad and Touya? But how?" Sakura asked.
"A firefighter saved you from the flames, we were so worry, you have been out for 3 hours now." Her dad answer.
"Yeah and I doubt that you will go to heaven when you die, how can a monster go to heaven?" Touya recieved a kick in the chin for a respon.
"A firefighter? Is it firefigther 10666 who saved me?" Sakura asked.
"I'm not sure. Well now, we better get you home. Wait here while I go and tell the doctor."
"I'm coming too." Touya and her dad left.
"Who is firefighter 10666?" Tomoyo asked.
"I don't know. All I know is firefighter 10666 is the only one going into the fire for me, the captain disagree but I think he did come for me."
"From what I heard the fire you were at was quite big and raging fast too." Tomoyo informed.
"Yeah, I can still feel the heat of the fire. By the way, where is Kero?"
"He's here." Tomoyo open her purse and Kero head popped out.
"Are you alright Kero? Do you know who firefighter 10666 is?"
"After calling for help I went back to you to find you out cold, I was in your back pack after that. I didn't get the best view of whoever it was. He opened the back pack a little as if to let oxygen in so I can breath."
"So you're saying that firefighter 10666 have magic aura too."
"Yeah, I think so anyway."Kero answer.
"And-" Sakura was cut of from her sentence by the return of her father and brother and along them, a doctor.
The doctor pull out a mini flashlight and click in on, he push up Sakura eyelids and flash it with the flashlight and next, he ask Sakura to stick out her tougon, which she did and he flashed the flashlight and check it, after that he stood back up straight.
"She is fine, she might feel a little dizzy but she will be ok after a night rest, you can take her home now." The doctor said and went off to another patient.
"Can you stand up?" Sakura father, Fujitaka Kinomoto, asked his dearest only daughter.
Sakura got up and out of the hospital bed she was lying on and stood on her own two feet, for a second she was fine but then her knees weakened and she soon collapsed into her brother's arm.
"I will carry her to the car, let's get out of the hospital, I hate the smell here." Touya said and lifted Sakura up, he place one of his arm under Sakura's neck and the other one under Sakura's knees. "And monster, try take a diet."
Sakura almost nearly barely missed a punch on his face. Fujitaka lead the way to his car and Tomoyo with Kero who is acting like a stuffed animal follow behind Touya and Sakura. They went out to the parking lot and went to their small blue 7seats van, Fujitaka unlock the car and told Touya to drop Sakura at the back seat, Touya placed Sakura gently on the leather seat and went to the front seat, the one beside the driver.
"Tomoyo, would you like to come have dinner with us tonight?" Fujitaka asked before getting into the car.
"If it dosen't bother you." Tomoyo reply.
"No, we're happy to have you over." Fujitaka answer.
Tomoyo got in the back seat with Sakura and Fujitaka started up the engine, they drive out the parking lot and went home.
========================================================================
The big red truck full of equipment and water came back to the station after the fire was put out. One by one, people wearing strong waterproof clothes and carrying some equipment came out, around 5 or 6 of them. They went inside the station, all chanting to each other except one.
He had dark brown hair and a pair of chocolate brown eyes that are filled with coldness. He's younger then other firefighter, about 18 years old. Like all other firefighter, he wear a blue shirt and dark blue pants and black boots, on his left shoulder of his blue shirt was five numbers in gold, the number is 10666.
"Hey Syaoran. That was a great save you did back there." One of the other older firefighter said.
"Well..." That's Syaoran only reply.
"Huh? What's the matter?" The other guy ask.
"It's nothing. Hey, I'm straved, let's get some food in the kitchen!" Syaoran dismissed the whole thing but in his mind was the same thing. That girl back there, she is no ordinary girl...
========================================================================
After saying goodbye to Tomoyo and got into her PJ's, Sakura went to bed, Kero switch of the light and went to his drawer. The night was quiet, the only sound in the room is Sakura alarm clock at top of her bed. Her mind couldn't get out of the accident happened that day.
(-_-) Flashback (-_-)
"What should I do Kero?" Sakura asked. Grabbing onto her wand tightly.
The true form of the card are in front of her, upper body of human-like and buttom are just flames, the hair are flickering fire, a pair of flaming wings on the back, the expression it show are a smirk, the pair of dead flame-orange eyes looking at her and on the forehead is a band, a little red gem there.
"This is The Firey card, one of the most strongest card of all clow cards. It's also my power source so it's no easy job to capture it. You're already lucky enough that Firey isn't at full power since The Clow cards just escaped yesterday. You first have to find Firey weak point and when weakened, you then can capture it."
Firey waved it his hand and a trial of flames rushed towards Sakura and Kero. They jumped away from being burned and stood staring at Firey.
"It's fire so water got to be the weak point." Sakura said, dogding another flames.
"But Sakura, you don't have the Watery card." Kero said and float up out of harm way.
"Water, where is water around here?" Sakura whisper to herself. She looked around and their is nothing but woods. Where is water when you need it!?
"WATER DRAGON!" Then followed by a blast of water in dragon form. It knock Firey down from the sky and continue to pin him down.
"THIS IS THE CHANCE, SAKURA! CAPTURE IT!" Kero yelled.
"Right!" She held up the wand, facing Firey and chatted the spell as she watch Firey struggel to get away from the water dragon.
"Return to your true form, Clow card." (I translate that directly from the cantonese)
Firey broke down and like liquid, it got suck into the card at the tip of the wand. The water dragon disappear as Firey turn to a card. Sakura watch as the card flow away from the wand and to mid-air, start circling around in circle.
"What's going on, Kero?" Sakura asked as she continue to watch the card circling in mid-air.
"The card is trying to find the person who work the most to capture it, the person who weaken it. And Firey can't find that person. Once you sealed it, the aura who send out the water dragon disappear." Kero explained.
The Firey card circle a few more time then finally float down to Sakura hand, Sakura took it and look at it. The form of Firey is inside the card with his eyes closed and wings wrap around the body, on the bottom of the card read The Firey.
The sound of fire flickering still hang in the air, Sakura turn around and came face to face with the forest fire.
(-_-) End Flashback (-_-)
The voice sommoning the water dragon and the voice of firefighter 10666, they are the same! Who could that be...
Then Sakura head came to a mess, a chaos of thoughts. She thought of alot of different possiblities. Some thoughts are Yamazaki lies too. She keep coming up with different possiblities but none that settle her mind. She gave up and yawned, taking a last look at her alarm clock and rest her head on her pillow, she quickly drifted off to the dream land.
========================================================================
The large room are lifeless with people either lying on sofa or standing around doing nothing much. The fire department are uneventful unless the alarm went off. Each firefighter in the main room looked at the clock once in a while. The clock ticked for each second and finally, both hands reach the number 12.
"Finally." A few firefighter yawned and cracked thir bones. Some other just leave the room to get their stuff.
Syaoran remain seated on the chair he was sitting in, the chair are backward and he lean against the back rest facing forward. His eyes are just following everyone, watching them leave but he remain motionless.
"Hey Syaoran."One firefighter came to him and patted him on the shoulder. "Well, bud., we're leaving now, do something, anything, before the next tour start or you'll be turn into a fossil."Then all the firefighter left, leaving Syaoran on his own.
He closed his eyes to give them a rest. He can't get his rest until 9:00am, when his 24 hour tour finish. Where is the next group anyway? They are suppose to be here by now, where is the group that should relief the 9-hour tour group anyway? He then snapped his eyes open, he felt it, just that second, that there is something wrong, not only the fact that everybody is missing but there is also magic at work. The same magic aura I felt earlier today. When I helped that girl to capture that 'thing', a card is it? Whatever it is, I'm checking it out. He got up and left the room.
========================================================================
Sakura felt it, even in her sleep she can feel the presence of the magic, of the clow card. She got up and into her slippers. Her desk drawer open and Kero flow out, looking at Sakura then nodded, Sakura return the nodded.
"It's a clow card." Sakura said.
"It's close by, very close." Kero added and float around the room. Then he stopped at the door. "Out there." He point at the door.
"Outside?"
"Yes, now go get it, card captor." Kero encourage her.
"Ok." She went to the door, flick on the light as she pass by the switch and slowly turned the door knob. She peek out to the dark hall, then before the blink of her eyes, a light greenish blue light fly pass and out the window at the end of the hall.
"That's the card, after it Sakura!" Kero shouted and Sakura left her room, ran down stair and got to her red and orange roller blade. She left the house and follow the sence of the clow card. Kero following her.
They travel throught the street of her block and continue down, on their way there isn't a single person out on the street. They pass a small shop with the light still on, Sakura allow herself to give a small glance at the shop out of the coner of her eyes, then she totally stopped going. She stood their, looking at the shop, Kero cough up and stare at her then at the shop, he got the moment of shock.
It's a few seconds before the silence was broken. "The shop is emty." Sakura whispered. Then she look at Kero "Is that the card doing?"
Kero cross his small little arms across his chest and close his eyes as he start thinking throught what card can it be. Then it came to him. "The 'Erase' card!"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A/N: The cards appearence are in no order, I put them in as I wish the order to be. And now, I will leave you in a cliffhanger but do not worry, I shall soon finish the next chapter to relief you people from the pain of cliffhanger.
P.S: Who made the word 'cliffhanger' anyway?
