The Encounter

Sakura had nightmares about that day three years ago. Tomoyo has told her to move on so many times, but she just can't do it. She couldn't get over it. She woke up that morning with sweat on her face. She had that same dream. It was more of a replay actually. She saw every moment over again. She looked at the clock and saw that it was 6:07. She use to never get up this early, but now she does. She still never gets to school early, that's because she's usually busy thinking or talking to Kero.

She continued to lay in bed. She dug her face into her pillow and stayed there, losing track of time. Finally she felt something on her shoulder. It was Kero.

"Rise and shine sleeping beauty," he said, "Weekends over. Time to get ready for school."

Sakura looked at the clock and saw that she had 20 minutes to get ready and eat. So she got up and started doing her hair. Her hair was a little bit longer now and she never wore pig tails anymore. She pulled on her school uniform which was different now that she was in high school. She grabbed her bag and ran downstairs. She began to eat with silence. Touya was off in college, so it was much more peaceful in the house. She had eight minutes to get to school. She still used her rollerblades.

She went outside and started towards her school. She began to think about what her teachers said yesterday.

"We will be having a lot of new students for awhile," she had said, "we're just going to have to adjust."

"I wonder why we're getting new students," Sakura said aloud, not paying attention to where she was going. She came up to a corner and somebody came from the other side, "Watch out!" she said, trying to stop.

The boy looked in her direction and before they knew it, they had collided. Sakura flew forward bringing the boy down with her. She landed on top of him. She got up slowly and said, "I'm so sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going."

"It's just as much my fault," the boy said has he opened his eyes. His eyes were red, the same color has his hair. Sakura had never seen him before.

"Where are you headed?" she asked as she reached out her hand, offering him help.

"Oh no," he said, "I'm headed to Readington High."

"Really?" Sakura asked, "Are you one of those new kids who are coming for awhile?"

"Yes," he said, "Do you go there?"

"Yeah," Sakura said, "My names Sakura Kinomoto."

"I'm Daisuke Niwa," the boy replied.

"Nice to meet you," Sakura said shaking his hand, "We need to go. Hurry up."

They raced to school. Sakura on blades and Daisuke on foot. They finally reached it. "I guess I'll be seeing you around," Sakura said.

"Yeah I guess so," Daisuke answered.

"Bye," Sakura said as she raced of in another direction. She went to her classroom and raced to her seat. Sakura was still in the same classroom as Tomoyo. Syaoran was still there and Sakura had learned to ignore that factor. Eriol had come back about a year ago and he's been there every since.

"Good morning Sakura," Tomoyo said.

"Hey Tomoyo," Sakrua said. The bell rang.

"Right on time as usual," Tomoyo said smiling.

"As usual," Sakura said, "I had a few difficulties getting here today."

"Tell me details later," Tomoyo said as the teacher came in.

"Good morning class," the teacher said, "As you all know we will be having a few new students here today. So welcome them. They are Risa Harada, Satoshi Hiwatari, Saihara Takeshi, Mio Hio, and Daisuke Niwa." Sakura lifted her head towards the door and watched as the kids came in. The first one had long brown hair, she looked like a porcelain doll. Her hair was perfect and the school uniform seemed to fit her curves just right. The next person who walked in was a boy with sky blue hair. He had glasses and his face expression reminded Sakura of Syaoran. The next boy to come in had an interesting hair style. He seemed a little weird. Then came in the other girl. She had blonde hair and she was wearing a little crown. She wasn't wearing her school uniform. Then came in Daisuke Niwa, who Sakura had already bumped into.

"How are they all going to fit?" Tomoyo whispered to Sakura.

"I don't know," Sakura whispered back.

"Do you girls have something to share with the rest of the class?" the teacher asked.

"Um yeah," Sakura said, "We were just wondering how we're going to fit all of the new kids in this class?" Tomoyo started to giggle just loud enough for everone to hear.

"We at least have to try," the teacher said, "Now I don't want to hear another smart remark from you again. Is that clear?"

"Yes sir," Sakura said.

"Now everyone we're going to have to share desks and the new kids are going to have to sit on the side of some of your desks. Is that okay?" the teacher asked the new kids. They nodded. "Okay. Saihara you share with Yamazaki (Zachary). Yamazaki raise your hand." he did, "Harada you sit with Daidouji(Tomoyo). Hiwatari you sit with Hiirgizawa(Eriol). Hio you sit with Kinomoto. And Niwa you sit with Li. They all went to their new seats and sat on the side of the other persons desk.

The day seemed to last forever. Nobody really liked who they had to sit with. The only ones who got along were Tomoyo and Risa. Throughout the day they sat with the same people. Out of sheer coincidence they all were in the same classes.

At pm advisor everyone was talking.

"Hello again," Sakura said as she came up to Daisuke.

"Hi," Daisuke said.

"How do you like it here so far?" Sakura asked.

"It's fine," Daisuke answered, "It's just a whole lot different."

"I'm sure it is," Sakura said.

"Hey Daisuke," Takeshi said as he came up to him, "I've got news."

"What kind of news?" Daisuke asked.

"Very interesting news," Takeshi said, "Coincedencly, Dark is now going to steal from this town."

"Yeah, coincedence," Daisuke said under his breath.

"What are you talking about?" Sakura asked.

"Dark, the Phantom Thief," Takeshi said.

"Never heard of him," Sakura said.

"You've never heard of him?!" Takeshi asked, "Where have you been?"

"Right here," Sakura said, "Where he's never made an appearance."

Daisuke smiled at that remark. Sakura had a lot of spunk to her, he thought. She reminded him of Riku. She had an attitude to her and she was aware of what was going on. She had good come backs. He had noticed that as she was talking to Mio. They didn't get along to well.

The school bell rang and everyone rushed outside. Daisuke saw Sakura as she met up with Tomoyo and started to walk home. He tried to catch her, but a voice in his head stopped him.

*You have to get home.*

"Oh alright," Daisuke as he rushed to catch the subway. His house was a half an hour away so he had to hurry. Once he got home his mother welcomed him the way she always did. She told him what he was stealing and where it was. Why it was near his new school he didn't know.

Late that night he was ready to go. He turned into Dark and flew off into the night.
