The Old Test.
Chapter One.
Sakura ran blindly down the alleyway, tears streaming down her cheeks.
'Why? Why did he have to do that to me?' She wondered.
She had finally told him how she felt, how much she cared about him, and he had laughed in her face. Told her she meant nothing to him. That she would never mean anything to anyone. That she was stupid.
And she had believed him.
And so she had run away, taking only her Clow Key and the clothes on her back. She had no idea where she was going, but she had left anyway.
Sakura slowed to a stop, and leant against a wall for support.
"Why, Syaoran?" she whispered. "I loved you. How could you do that to me?"
"How could you do that to me?" asked a mocking voice from behind her.
Sakura spun around to see a man behind her, with a twisted smile across his face. He looked about 18 or so, only a few years older then her. He had dark hair, and darker eyes, with a look in them that Sakura didn't like. He was blocking the exit and entrance of the alleyway, and Sakura couldn't get out.
"I hope it is Syaoran Li you're talking about." He said.
Sakura backed away, slowly. "Who are you?" she asked.
"Me?" he asked, mocking her question. "My name is Kyron. Kyron Ubuto." He smiled at her, a smile that filled her with dread. "And you, my dear, are staying with me, until your Syaoran comes to find you."
Before Sakura could react, Kyron before her had brought a small brick down on her head. Sakura tried to cry out, but before she could, the man hit her again, and Sakura collapsed into unconsciousness.
When Sakura awoke, she was lying on a bed in what could only be an abandoned bomb shelter. Grey brick walls were on all sides, and there was only one door, a large metal one, that Sakura was sure her captor thought she wouldn't be able to leave.
But she was almost positive that Kyron hadn't counted on her being a Clow Mistress. A Card Captor.
She slowly got up, her head throbbing in pain, and began to explore her surroundings.
"Good morning, Miss Kinomoto." Said a vaguely familiar voice.
Sakura turned slowly, knowing that she would be rewarded with lots of pain if she moved any quicker, to see Kyron Ubuto.
"How do you know my name?" Sakura asked.
"I know a lot about you, Sakura - may I call you Sakura?"
Sakura just glared, not answering.
"As I was saying, Sakura, I know a lot about you. I know your age, your father's name, and your brother's name. I know your mother is dead. You name it, I know it.
"What's my best friend's name." Sakura asked, glaring defiantly at her captor.
Kyron just smiled. "Tomoyo." He said.
"What do you want with me?" Sakura asked, taking a step back to the bed.
"I want Syaoran Li. you're my ticket to getting him."
"Why?" Sakura asked, still puzzled.
"Because he stole my chance from me." Kyron said, sighing. "We came from the same clan, in Hong Kong. We were both chosen to do a test to see who became the representative to come to here to capture... something. He cheated and won."
"Capture what?" Sakura asked, knowing the answer.
"Nothing you would know about." Kyron snarled.
"The Clow Cards?" Sakura asked. Kyron looked surprised.
"What would you know about them?" he asked.
"I know all about them. I'm the Card Captor." Sakura gasped and covered her mouth.
"You're the Clow Mistress, are you?" Kyron asked, smiling. "I had heard she was pretty, not beautiful."
Sakura blushed. "I'm not as pretty as Tomoyo." She said.
"Nonsense." Kyron said, following her over to the bed. Sakura backed up, terrified of the look on his face, and angry with herself for the slip that had given away the only advantage she may have had over him.
"I think I am going to get my revenge on Li, whether or not he comes." Kyron said quietly
"What do you mean, whether he comes or not?" Sakura asked.
"I sent word to the clan. Li's betrothed will get the message to him."
"Meilin?" Sakura asked quietly.
Kyron smiled. "I take it you've met her."
Sakura nodded in affirmation. "What are you going to do with me until he comes?" she asked, changing the subject and not looking him in the eye.
Kyron smiled a wicked smile, which made Sakura shudder with fright. "I'm sure I can think of something I can do to pass the time." He told her.
"No..." Sakura whispered. Kyron just leaned over and ran a finger through her waist length hair. It had been bound in a long braid when she had left home, but it was now untied, loose around her face. Sakura recoiled in disgust when Kyron's hand caressed her face.
"Oh yes, Sakura." Kyron breathed, leaning down and kissing her.
Sakura felt his lips on hers, and was shocked to find that they were soft. He kissed her softly but intensely, not pressuring her, just playing with her, teasing her.
Sakura pulled away, wiping her mouth in disgust.
"Leave me alone." She said forcefully. "If you touch me again..." she trailed off, unable to think of a good enough threat.
He touched her again, running a finger across her face. "What were you saying?"
Sakura didn't say anything, but pushed him away. "Just leave me alone." She whispered again.
Kyron laughed, but got up anyway. "I'll be back later, with food. Don't try to use your magic to escape, Sakura. You won't get far."
"I don't have my wand." Sakura lied.
Kyron smiled. "A pity. I looked forward to seeing what the fabled Clow Mistress could do." He turned around and left, unlocking the door, which was about 3 inches thick.
Kyron locked the door behind him, calling into the room, "now, don't you go anywhere. I haven't finished with you yet." His mocking laughter reverberated around the room.
Sakura sighed, standing up. "I have to get out of here." She said out loud.
Syaoran got off the phone, frowning to himself. Sakura was missing, and her brother Touya, blamed him. She had been gone for 3 days now. Syaoran wasn't worried when he heard that Sakura had come home crying. Touya said that she had left a note, saying she was staying over at Tomoyo's house for a couple of nights, but when Touya went to pick her up, Tomoyo said she had never been there. He hoped nothing had happened to her, he couldn't bare it if something had.
He knew that what he had said to her had hurt her, but it was necessary. His clan had forbidden any relationship between him and the Card Mistress, after Meilin had told the clan elders that he loved Sakura.
Suddenly, the phone rang again. Syaoran hurried over to it, hoping it was good news on Sakura, or even better, Sakura herself. If it was, he would say sorry, and explain.
"Hai?" he answered.
"Syaoran?" asked a familiar voice. Meilin.
"What do you want, Meilin?" Syaoran asked coldly.
"Syaoran, please don't be mad..." Meilin began, but Syaoran cut her off.
"Look, Meilin, I don't have time for this. Sakura's missing, and I have to help find her, or so her brother says." Syaoran said.
"Syaoran, we know where she is."
"You... you what?"
"You remember Kyron, don't you? Kyron Ubuto?"
Syaoran's heart froze, and he didn't answer.
"Syaoran? Are you there?" Meilin's voice came over the telephone, worried and caring.
"Yes. Yes, I'm here." Syaoran said, his voice sounding distant. "What about Ubuto?"
"I'm sorry, Syaoran. He's..." Meilin said, but again, Syaoran cut her off, finishing her sentence.
"He's got Sakura." He stated.
"Yes. He wants you, Syaoran." Meilin told him. "He's holding her hostage."
"If he's even touched her..." Syaoran trailed off, allowing Meilin's mind to wonder about what Syaoran would do to Kyron Ubuto if he had touched Sakura. "What does he want me to do?"
"He wants you to come, alone, to China, to redo the test that made you Card Captor when you were ten. Winner take all, including Sakura."
Syaoran clenched his hand into a fist, and took a deep breath before speaking again. "When?"
"A week." Meilin said. "Syaoran, the clan is doing everything possible to help..."
"Look, Meilin, I have to go. Thanks for letting me know." Syaoran hung up on her, then immediately dialed another number.
"Touya? I know where she is."
