The New Card Captor: Chapter: 2

Sakura awoke the next morning, at 8:00 am. It was a Saturday morning and she had a lot of things to do today! She got dressed into a casual purple dress, and just combed out her hair leaving it down.

She went down to the kitchen where she found Kyou, asleep in a chair. Sakura took a blanket and put it on top of him so he would be warmer. She started making some pancakes, and she noticed that Shigure didn't go shopping all that often. She knew it was something she had to do today. She also knew she had to get a part time job.

Yuki, came down the stairs into the kitchen, and said "I smell pancakes." Sakura said "That's because I'm making some." Yuki said, unaware that Kyou was awake now, "Sakura, I was wondering if you wanted to do something today? Perhaps something fun, to get your mind off things and relax." Sakura said "I have a lot of things I need to do today sorry. However, if you want to come along, I wouldn't mind." Yuki said "I would love to accompany you." Kyou said "I'll go too." Yuki said "I didn't even know he was awake…"

Kyou got up and said "How did this blanket get here?" Sakura said "I'm sorry. I put it on top of you when I came down, and realized you were sleeping. I'm really sorry." Kyou then said "No, really. It's fine. If anything I should be thankin' you." When the pancakes were done Kero came zooming downstairs. He said "YUM PANCAKES, I WANT PANCAKES!" Sakura said "Alright, Kero calm down. There are some on the table."

Kero then said between chewing "Who made them? You or the sweet card?" Sakura said "Well, me why?" Kero said "'Cus these are REALLY good!" Sakura then said "Thank you Kero! That's so nice of you too say! Here have some of these pan cakes I made with chocolate chips! Here Kero you seem kind of tense" she said as she massaged his shoulders with her thumbs.

Sakura washed the dishes then said "Well, I'd better get going. There's quit a bit to do today!" Kyou said "Me and the girly rat are goin' wit you. Remember?" Sakura said "Oh yes. Let's go then!"Yuki said "WHAT DO YOU MEAN GIRLY RAT? YOU STUPID CAT?!" Sakura said "Please stop fighting! Even for a few minutes!"

They all walked to the grocery store, where Sakura bought quite a few things for them all to eat later. They had many bags to carry and Kyou was trying to carry more than Yuki. Sakura then sensed a Clow Card. She said "Uh, guys, I have to go do something I'll meet you back at the house." Kyou said "It has to do with your powers, doesn't it!" Sakura said, "Yes, I'm sorry, I have to go." Yuki said, "I'm highly trained in Martial Arts, I can help!" Sakura said, "Alright you can both come, if you want to. Let's go into this alley though."

Sakura then said ""Oh, Key of Clow, power of Magic, power of light, surrender the wand, the force ignite, RELEASE!" Her necklace was now a staff. Yuki and Kyou both said at once "Wow!" Sakura then said "I don't mean to seem rude, but we have to go." They followed her, and they ended up at a gate. Sakura saw the look on both Yuki, and Kyou's faces. "What's wrong?" she asked. Yuki answered "This is the entrance to the main house." Sakura said "Oh. If you'd both like to stay here I'm fine with it. I have a card to capture. I need to do whatever it takes. Peoples lives could possibly be at stake." Yuki muttered under his breath "Hopefully Akitos."

They decided to go with her. Sakura rang the door bell. Haru appeared in the doorway and said "Sakura what a pleasant surprise! Come on in! Oh yes, Kyou, Yuki come in, if you want."

Sakura then said "Haru, have you noticed anything strange lately?" Haru answered "Not really. Although Momigi, has been taking a bath for quite a while now." Sakura then said "Can you show me where he is?" Haru said "Uh, ok. You sure you want to go in their?" Sakura then said "I'm going to have to!"

Sakura opened the door, and saw only a tub full of water. Sakura then saw a tiny, impish creature standing on the rim of the tub. She said out loud "OH NO! THE LITTLE CARD!" Sakura immediately dived in the water and pulled Momigi out. Sakura remembered something from an episode. She quickly tapped Little two times, and Momigi was full sized. Before Little had any time to escape Sakura got her staff ready and said "Little Card, Release and dispel, Return to your Power confined! Little!" The impish creature had now transformed back into a card.

Momigi then said "THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH SAKURA!" Sakura looked at him and then screamed. She turned around and said "Soooooo sorry. Didn't mean to look at well, you know!" Yuki, Kyou, and Haru came barging in. "WHATS WRONG!" They all said in unison. After looking at Momigi, and the blush on Sakura's face, while her eyes are closed, they figured it out.

Sakura then said "I'm sorry for barging in like this. I should be going, I have dinner to prepare! I didn't even get enough time today to find a Job!" Momigi then said "If you want a job, I'm sure one of the Sohmas will be glad to give you one. We have many people in different careers! HEY! You could even work here at the Main house!" Yuki then said quickly "Uh, let's get out of here." Sakura then said "Okay. It was nice seeing you guys again!"

So, the three of them went off. When they got home, they had a BIG surprise. Akito was their awaiting their return. Yuki had a scared look on his face. Kyou had an angry look on his face. Sakura had a lovely, irresistible smile. Shigure said "Hello Sakura. I have a surprise for you. This is Akito Sohma, the head of our family. He was quite insistent on meeting you. He knows about your powers, so no need to fret. You can be completely honest and open with him."

Sakura said "Hello, Akito. It's a pleasure meeting you, finally! Are you staying for dinner?" Akito responded, "Actually, I'm spending the night and leaving tomorrow, afternoon. " Sakura said "Well, then I hope your stay here is comfortable!" She said with a smile. "Akito, I don't mean to seem rude, however, I have some work that needs to be finished. Dinner won't cook itself you know!" Akito then said "Oh, don't worry about it! I'm sure Kyou and Yuki would be able to manage it. I would really enjoy your company during my stay! I know Shigure has to work on that novel of his. It will give us a chance to talk!"

Everyone left except Sakura, and Akito. Akito said, once everyone was gone, "Well, I heard you just enrolled in the local school, how is that going?" Sakura responded "Actually, I only went to pick up my books. I haven't actually gone yet."

There was silence, and Sakura heard many pots fall. She said "Excuse me Akito." Akito however was quite upset that she had to leave. He had plans, involving her. However, what he didn't know was how he would soon feel towards her.

Sakura walked into the kitchen and said, "Yuki, Kyou, what's going on?" Yuki then said "It's that cat. He doesn't like water, so he's being such a nuisance!" Sakura then said "Oh no, this place is a mess!" Sakura quickly took a damp rag, and began cleaning. She then said, "Its okay Kyou, I know cats don't enjoy cold water very much. It's not your fault, its instinct. If you both want, you may leave. I've got this under control."

They both left, however Yuki stopped in the dinning room to speak with Akito. He said "What do you want?! Why are you here?!" Akito responded "I'm not here for you, Yuki." Then, why are you here?!" replied Yuki. Akito said with a twisted smile "The girl." Then Shigure entered the room, and said "Yuki, why aren't you and Kyou helping Sakura in the kitchen?" Yuki then left, without response.

Sakura was in the kitchen still. She would be cooking up a storm, for her guest. It was good that she had gone grocery shopping earlier. Sakura quickly got out a pot, and went to the freezer. She took out chicken breasts, and went to the fridge to get some ingredients for a salad. She knew she wouldn't have time so she decided to use the sweet card.

"Oh, Key of Clow, power of magic, power of light, surrender the wand, the force ignite, RELEASE!" She then concentrated on getting the sweet card to her. The Sweet card appeared in her hand. "Sweet Card, please create a lovely Strawberry Shortcake! Thank you so much! You've done an amazing job! You deserve a nice rest!"

Sakura finished everything now, and it was time for dinner. She went upstairs into her room, and called Kero. Kero said "DINNER! AND DESSERT! YES!!!" Kero came rushing down, and said "I can't wait for dessert! Oh, Akito?" Sakura said, "You know him Kero?" Kero said, "Yes, he was a friend of Clow Reed's, and the princess. It's nice to see you again." Akito responded, "Kero Beros. It is a pleasure to see you once again. You look, well, different…" Kero said "Well, I'm not in my true form." Sakura said "I need to capture the dark card don't I? It's the only way isn't it?" Kero said "Yes. But don't worry about it! There are still many cards you haven't captured yet! You should get to work on finding them."

It was getting late so everyone went to bed. Sakura said to Kero "Kero, don't I need battle costumes? I mean in the show, they helped that girl capture cards." Kero said "Well, yeah I guess it would help. You'll have to make your own until, we can find something." Sakura got up, and started rummaging threw her stuff. She found bits and pieces of fabric. Unfortunately, the Sohma's didn't have a sewing machine. Sakura went to bed.

The next morning Sakura made breakfast and laid it out for everyone. She then wrote a note: Went to the library, I'll be home later to make lunch. -Sakura

Sakura went out to the library, and found some books on Costume and clothing design. She then looked threw out the whole library looking for some books or something with information about the Clow Cards or even Clow Reed. She didn't find anything, until she went in the myths and legends section. There was only a small section on it however; she decided to check it out with the other books on design.

Sakura now needed to find some more fabric, and a sewing machine. She was walking up the street, when she saw a store called "Ayame". Sakura then thought to herself 'Maybe the people in that store know where to get some stuff.' She walked into the store and said to a woman at the desk "Excuse me. Do you by any chance know any good stores, that I could possibly buy some fabric, and sewing materials?" The lady said "I may. What is your name first of all?" "My name is Sakura Avalon." All of a sudden a man with long silver hair came out and said "Sakura Avalon? Come here please!"

The man said once they were alone "Your that Card Captor aren't you?" Sakura said "Are you a Sohma?" The man replied "Yes. My name is Ayame Sohma. Yuki is actually my brother!" Sakura said "It's nice to finally meet you!" Ayame said "The pleasure is all mine! Now, what did you want?" Sakura responded "Actually, I came here in hopes of someone who had knowledge of a place where I can get fabric, and sewing supplies." Ayame said "Well, upstairs we have a room full of different materials. How about, we make a deal. I'll allow you to come here and use whatever you need upstairs, and in return, you must work here part time, and become one of our models!" Sakura said "That's a lovely idea!"

Ayame led her upstairs and showed her the room. Ayame said "Well, it's right beside my room actually. You see I live up here! Here. This is the key to the store, as well as this sewing room." I just have to go downstairs and get something however you can use what you must for now!" Sakura responded "I have to get going anyway. Thank you!
