Hi! I'm Melinda! This is the first time I'm writing a Card Captor Sakura fic so go easy on me! This story's plot is something like a Hong Kong drama called, "A Smilling Ghost Story". (I don't live in Hong Kong! I just watch the dramas! The show is quite nice! Did you see it before?) The story is according to some Chinese believers. (Though I'm a Chirstian myself! ^_^") It is about an orphan, who was adopted by her aunt and uncle as their own child... I can't give away the story so read! It was a Cantonese show, so I can't give a direct translation. And if the characters are OOC, I'm sorry because I need that personality for my story.

PROLOGUE

"LOOK! A contest! An eating contest!" Tomoyo shouted pointing to a flyer.

"Yeah, and if we win, we get to bring home all the furniture we can carry!" Sakura said happily.

"Yeah! It will be handy for our new house!!" Tomoyo said.

"Mum, can Tomoyo and I join it?" Sakura asked eagerly.

"Of course you can," Mrs. Daidouji said. "After all, both of you are already adults!"

Sakura and Tomoyo smiled brightly. "Tomoyo, isn't it time for you to hand over the money to Mr. Lee?" asked Sakura.

"Oh no! I forgot! I better get going!!" Tomoyo said as she rushed out of the door, carrying a giant envelope with her.

Tomoyo walked to a taxi and motioned it to stop. When the taxi stopped, a man, about her age pushed her and went inside the taxi. Tomoyo was very angry and began to bang on the window. The the man who pushed Tomoyo opened the window and said, "Get another taxi, lady." Tomoyo didn't say anything, entered the taxi, took all the parcels which belonged man who pushed her and threw it out of the window. The man was furious.

"What's your probelm, lady??"

"I stopped the taxi, I ride the taxi!"

After that, the taxi began to move. Unknown to Tomoyo, along with the man's parcels, she had thrown her envelope away as well..

** a few minutes later **

In Mr. Lee's office...

"AAaaahhh!!" Tomoyo screamed. "That bastard! He took my envelope!!! I'm sorry Mr. Lee, can I hand the money for the house tomorrow??"

"I'm sorry, I will take the money next week but you must pay more interest!" Mr. Lee said angrily. "Many people are interested to buy the house, yet I keep it reserved for you and your family!"

"But Mr. Lee, I promise that I will pay!" Tomoyo begged. She was extremely angry with the man who delayed the taxi and took the document.

"No, it is raised to two hundred thousand." Mr. Lee said strictly. Tomoyo's mouth opened wide.

"But it is twice as much as it was before!"

"I know, now go, I have a lot of business to attend to,"

Tomoyo almost cried. When she was walking out of the office she banged into a man. When she was about to apologise, she saw a familiar envelope and looked up quickly. "YOU!!" both of them screamed.

"YOU BASTARD! YOU MADE ME LOSE A DEAL!" Tomoyo cried tears spilling down her cheeks.

"What do you mean? I'm returning the envelope, am I? Besides, You got to ride on the taxi! And, I was late to buy a lottery ticket!" the man said furiously.

"ARGH! I got to go home now or else I'm be beating you into a bloody pulp!" Tomoyo said wiping her tears. She picked up her envelope and stomped home. (O.o Scary isn't she??? This is 100% OOC!)

** at Tomoyo's house **
Living room/ hall

"He said we have to pay double..." Tomoyo said sadly.

"There, there, Tomoyo. Don't worry, I take out all my savings and you will pay him next week." Sakura said.

"But it is still not enough!" Tomoyo wailed.

"Remember the eating competition, we will get a prize of 900,000$! We just have to combine our savings and the prize money to pay Mr. Lee. We don't have to tell aunt and uncle if you don't want to." Sakura said, trying to comfort her cousin.

"Thanks Sakura, if you weren't here I would have broke down already. It was all because of the stupid bastard!" Tomoyo said.

"Hoe? Tomoyo? Is that really you? Who are you and what have you done to my dear cousin?" Sakura asked, joking.

"HEY!!" Tomoyo said annoyed, as she punched Sakura's shoulder playfully.

"Nothing, its just that you never curse before!" Sakura said laughing.

"Curse about what?" a voice said. Both girls turned to see Mr. Daidouji at the door.

"Tomoyo...." Sakura began but Tomoyo clasped her hand over Sakura's mouth to prevent her from talking.

"No, I was playing a video game in an arcade store and when I was about to win, I ran out of money." Tomoyo said, hoping her father would buy it.

"Then why are you putting your hand over Sakura's mouth?" Mr. Daidouji asked.

"We were planning a surprise for you and mum but Sakura wanted to reveal it." Tomoyo said as she took away her hand from Sakura's mouth.

"Yeah, uncle." Sakura said, trying her best not to giggle.

"I hope your surprise turns out well... Tomoyo, did you give the money to Mr. Lee already?" asked Mr. Daidouji.

"Uh... Yes, of course! You know I'm dependable!" Tomoyo said, trying her best to smile.

"Good. I have to get back, there's many customers waiting for a taxi."

"Bye."

"Bye."

When Mr. Daidouji disappeared out the door, both the girls sighed heavily.

"Now its my turn to go out, I have to withdraw my money and register for the competition." Sakura said.

"You almost gave away the secret you know!"

"Yeah, yeah. See you later!"

***************

Sakura walked towards the bank when she saw a man at a corner cursing. Sakura did not know that it was the same man whom her cousin encountered that morning. She approached him. "May I help you?" she asked politely.

"Can you lend me 10$? I really need it to save someone!" he asked.

"Hoe? Here 30$ keep it! Now quickly go and save the person!!!" Sakura said anxiously.

"Thanks. By the way, my name is Eriol." Eriol said as he walked away.

Sakura sighed as she walked into the bank. The bank manager was there, teaching a few ladies which share to buy. (something like that, I didn't catch what he really said that time!) Sakura walked to the bank counter to withdraw money. The bank manager couldn't help but notice that she was beautiful. At that time, Sakura was arguing with the lady behing the counter because the lady said she could not find her saving account. The lady brought her to see the bank manager.

"Good morning, madam, I'm Syaoran Li, the manager of this bank. May I help you?" Syaoran asked.

"I think your bank has lost my money or something! They said they could not find my account, Mr. Li!" Sakura said.

Syaoran was about to answer when a masked robber entered the bank and started shooting the ceiling with a gun. He grabbed Syaoran and pointed the gun at his head while shouting, "Give me all your money!!" Most of the ladies in the bank screamed. The robber panicked and ran out of a building. A few policemen arrived. The robber simply shot the sky in panic, still holding Syaoran. One of the bullets hit a sign board which caused it to collapse. A little boy was standing under it, crying. Sakura saw him and pushed the boy away. The sign board dropped on her.
