The Prophecy

Chapter One: Fire in her Eyes


"ARGH, I hate the Li-boy so much" fumed Sakura walking out of her class.

She met up with Tomoyo by their locker, and Tomoyo instantly spotted that her best friend and flatmate was fuming.

"Let me guess," said Tomoyo in a cheeky way "Li did something to annoy you in class?"

"ANNOY ME - DO I LOOK GOD-DAMNED ANNOYED?" shouted Sakura.

All heads in the hallway turned and looked at the angry girl, who was now blushing bright red. She had hair that just reached her shoulder and it was a dark auburn colour, a cheeky smile and emerald eyes. However when she was angry her eyes changed from glittery to fiery. And at the moment her eyes where alive with flames and glinting with anger.

Tomoyo put a calming hand on her best friends arm and led her outside, where she was less likely to attract attention.

"In answer to your last question - no you do not look annoyed Sakura - just very very pissed off. Go on what did he do this time?"

"He was sat behind me - as always and kept kicking the back of my chair and flicking things at me. Naturally I got annoyed, turned round and asked him NICELY if he would knock it off. Of course he didn't - so I get more annoyed and then started shouting at him. So the teacher shouted at me and I actually had to APOLOGISE to that piece of pond scum. THAT'S why I'm very very pissed off." Sakura finished yelling and sighed, trying to compose herself.

Tomoyo just shook her shoulders. She was well aware of the history behind her and Syaoran. Two years ago they had been the best of friends, always together. Then one day they just fell out, didn't want to talk to each other. It all ended in a big fight at dinner one day, and Sakura ended the fight by throwing her lunch all over Syaoran and storming out. They never spoke anymore - unless it was to annoy each other.

"Ok Sakura calm down, you know he does it on purpose to annoy you. Don't let him get to you!" said Tomoyo in a soothing voice.

"But your not the one who constantly has little bits of paper flying at your head" whined Sakura "OOH I hate him SO much"

"Come on let's go back to the flat - we've got two hours free till our next lesson."

Sakura nodded and the two girls began to walk back to their flat, situated on the edge of the campus.

~*~

Their flat was small, but cosy. It had two bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and living room. Each of the rooms was personalised. Sakura's room was pink, and had sketches of cherry blossoms blowing across the wallpaper. Tomoyo's room was more plain, but her walls where covered in sketches and ideas for her fashion class.

Sakura flopped on the sofa and turned the TV on. Tomoyo had gone in the kitchen to make something to eat. Sakura sat there flickering through the TV channels, until she found something that caught her attention.

The pictures flashed up on the screen before a different picture, and then another picture flashed up. Nothing was really appealing to her. She turned the TV off and picked up an old magazine. Flicking through that she found nothing interesting either.

"You know the worlds against you when there is nothing on the TV" she muttered to herself

Tomoyo walked in the room carrying two cups of tea and a wedge of papers under her arm. Sakura raised an eyebrow at her friend and threw a questioning look at the papers.

"Homework" Tomoyo explained, "I have to get it done now or I won't do it."

Sakura nodded, and seeing as she was so bored decided to get her history homework out. She flicked through her diary looking for the assignment. And when she saw what she had to do - she groaned.

"What's wrong?" asked Tomoyo sighing at the end

"History assignment" groaned Sakura " it's going to take me at least a month to do it!"

"Sakura I'm sure that's a bit of an exaggeration." Laughed Tomoyo

"No seriously listen to this. 'With reference to at least one ancient and historical prophecy, write a 1500 word essay on how prophecy's and legends shaped the way in which we lived in, in the past, and also the way in which they can affect us in modern day life.' Why did I take history??" she whined.

Tomoyo just shrugged and once again buried her nose in her designs, and Sakura buried her nose in her history textbook, which read.

'Prophecy's are often related to modern day life, however it is very rare for any prophecy to be fulfilled. The amount of detail in the prophecy often relates to the chance of a prophecy coming to light. E.G.: if the prophecy was to say - the world will end, then many people will shake it off. But if it instead goes into greater detail and explains certain astronomical aspects it is more likely to be believed. For a list of prophecy's, the original prophecy and translations of them please look at 'Prophecy's - coming to life' by Okuma Sora.'

Sakura closed her book. Fat lot of help that had been.

"Tomoyo I have to go to the library and get a book out for this assignment. I should be back in about 20 minutes." She explained as she stood up.

"Ok Sakura - Ja" she replied

"Ja-ne."

~*~

Sakura walked towards the library, feeling the heat from the sun on her face. She sighed contentedly; even her constant fights with Li where worth it if she could spend time enjoying the beautiful weather outside.

She walked through the library foyer, and the cool air hit her, causing her arms to come up in goose pimples. She didn't really mind the smell of books - Otou-san's study had always smelt like it. Truthfully it made her feel closer to home.

She went over to the history section, and started looking for the book. Mumbling to herself in the process.

"Talking to yourself Kinomoto - first sigh of madness tut tut" came a voice from behind her causing her to jump.

"Fuck off Li - I'm not in the mood for your childish games" she said not even turning to see who it was.

"Ooh what a nasty temper you've got there - you should think about getting anger management, and maybe some counselling for your obvious psychological problems!" he retorted laughing at his own joke.

'Ignore him,' thought Sakura, 'remember he only does this to annoy you and if you ignore him he'll go away.'

"Ooh deaf as well are we - maybe we should consider a medical check up for you, make sure your not going wacky in your old age," he continued.

Sakura turned around, eyes blazing with hate and anger. She glared at him for a couple of seconds, before throwing her hands up in exasperation and storming off towards the librarian's desk. Syaoran of course followed her, enjoying the anger he was causing her.

"Yes miss can I help you" asked the librarian.

"Err yea, I'm looking for Prophecy's - coming to life by Okuma Sora." She replied as politely as she could, even thought Li was causing her to boil up anger inside.

"I'm sorry the only copy has been taken out by Li Syaoran" she replied. "But you can get a copy from the school bookshop - it won't cost much with the student discount."

Sakura nodded - trying to keep her anger in. Was Li determined to ruin her life, out of all the history student's why did he have to be the one to take out the only copy.

Turning on her heel she walked out the school library, letting the door slam behind her, blocking out Li's snickering.

~*~

Sakura traipsed across campus to the college bookstore, only to see lots of people from her history class in it. She ran the last couple of metres, nearly knocking over half the students coming out. She quickly scanned the history section for the book - and there it was, the last copy. She grabbed it, beating several other people by a mere second and dashed of towards the cash desk. She gave them her student card and the book came to a total of $5:95 - with the student discount. She pulled out a couple of bills from her bag, paid and left.

She walked back across campus toward her flat; luckily the bookshop was nearer than the library. She opened the front door and called out for Tomoyo as she walked in. Getting no answer got her curios, so she tiptoed into the living room, and fount Tomoyo and Eriol making out on the sofa.

Stifling a yell Sakura walked into the kitchen and sat on the worktop, flicking the kettle switch so the water would boil. She brought her book out of her bag and started to flick through the pages.

"Boring" she muttered as she skimmed the first two pages.

She continued to flick through the pages, nothing catching her eye. Until she skimmed pas a page that jumped out of her. She flicked back a few pages and proceeded to read the prophecy name - the final judgement.

The Final Judgement

In the years to come when the world has turned cruel and cold.
A final judgement from evil will come to pass over us all.
And once the judgement has fallen upon us the end will shortly follow.
But two will stand against the judgement and end evils reign.
And together they will stare evil in the eye and overcome his stare.
But before they fight they must mend the bridge between them.
A bridge that was once forged by evil himself.
On midsummer's night when the red moon hangs full in the sky.
When the planets lie in a line stretching through our galaxy.
The clock will strike 13 on the midnight hour.
And the evil will be released from within us all.
And the chosen girl, born on the day of the fool, will realise the error in her ways.
And will seek forgiveness from he who was born into the old way.
Finally these two will be bound from the hate they once carried.
And from their new friendship the light will be unleashed.
And once the glare has faded, and the ashes begin to settle.
Will the pair finally realise that their love was there.
All along.


Sakura sighed as she re-read the text. She then let her eyes flick towards the translation and notes that explained the text.

This text was originally written in 1666, and was for a while, during the Elizabethan period, an article that was widely speculated upon. The text is believed to hold perhaps some truth to it, mainly because of the year it was written in - the three digits 666, refer to the devil, making the assumption of the prophecy being related to 'evil himself', more believable.

There are said to be two people to stand against the judgement, a man and a woman with a gap already forged between them. The women is possible born on April fools day "the day of the fool" whilst the man is born into an old family with a long history.

The supposed judgment will happen on the longest day of the year, when a full red moon hangs in the sky - the red tinge caused by the suns rays bouncing of the desert and being reflected.

There is a mentioning of a light, but not much of an explanation of it. This makes the prophecy hard to understand but also adds an element of mystery to it.

Sakura re-read the original text and compared the text to the notes. Finding it made more sense she began to grasp a deeper understanding of it, and just as she was about to make notes on it, she realised she didn't have her notepad or pen with her - they where in the living room. With Tomoyo and Eriol.

Sakura poked her head round the living room door - only to be confronted with a sight she would rather not see. Not wanting to disturb either of the two lovebirds she crept over to her bag and picked it up. Unfortunately she happened to look at the clock at the same time - 11:50, and her next lesson was at 12.

"HOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" she yelled shocking both Tomoyo and Eriol out of their little game of tonsil tennis.

"What what?" cried Tomoyo?

"It's 11:50 I'm going to be late for English - ack" yelled Sakura flying round the house picking up all her stuff and shoving it into her book bag. She grabbed the book on prophecies and put that in the front pocket of her book bag. And pegged it out the door, leaving a very embarrassed Tomoyo and Eriol behind.
