Chapter Two: Dreaming
Dream
Sakura stared blankly at the little stuffed animal in front of her. His face was deathly serious.
"Me?" The ten-year-old squeaked. "I'm the…what?"
"Chosen one." The animal, his name was Keroberos, said stiffly. "I don't like it any more than you. But you released the cards, so it's your responsibility to get them all back."
"All…of them?" Sakura groaned. "But Kero! That's so unfair!"
"I know it's unfair, but it's your fault." Kero growled. "And the name's Keroberos, guardian beast of the Clow Cards." "Some guardian beast." Sakura mumbled under her breath.
"What was that?"
"Nothing! Go on, go on!" Sakura grinned.
Kero glared at her, his tiny arms folded across his chest.
Suddenly Sakura wasn't in her room anymore. She was in darkness, pure darkness.
The only light that was around her was a yellow glowing symbol at her feet.
"W-Where am I?" She gasped.
"Shush." Kero snapped. He was hovering in front of her, his little white wings keeping him in the air. "Now, you have to capture the Clow Cards…and since you are the chosen one…you need the staff."
"O-kay…" Sakura mumbled.
Kero ignored her and held out his little paw. In front of him appeared a small key with the head of a bird.
It was really rather fascinating.
"Key to the seal, you have chosen this girl Sakura to carry out the sacred promise. I command you to empower her with the language of the staff!" Kero said, almost as if to the key. "Release the power!"
Sakura gasped as the key began to spin in front of her.
"Say the words that are in your heart." Kero said.
"I-I can't!" Sakura stammered, frightened.
What was happening?
"Say them!" Kero shouted.
Taking a breath, Sakura closed her eyes.
In my heart…
"O Key of Clow," She chanted, the words pouring from her lips as if she'd known them her whole life. "Power of magic, power of light. Surrender the wand, the force ignite! Release!"
End Dream
Sakura sat up with a sharp gasp, her forehead covered in cold sweat.
She sighed and ran her hands through her hair, frustrated. "Not again…"
"Sakura you up?" A voice, Touya, said from outside her bedroom door.
The sixteen-year-old sighed. "Yeah, I'm awake!"
"Well hurry up squirt!" Touya said. "We leave in twenty."
Sakura gasped and hopped out of bed, dashing out of her bedroom, past Touya, and into the bathroom and into the shower.
She appear minuets later, all clean and smiling. Quickly she tossed a few clothes onto her bed. Then stood over them to decide.
She could either wear dark blue jeans and a white sip-up t-shirt or a white pleated skirt and a light pink zip-up hoodie.
Sakura chose the white pleated skirt and the light pink hoodie. She slipped them on.
Then, she blow-dried her hair, letting it fall into nice light waves, and applied some mascara and lip-gloss.
"Come on Sakura!" Touya shouted from the bottom of the stairs. "Or you are so walking!"
"Yeah, yeah hold on!" Sakura shouted back, snatching her purse from the side of her bed and scooping her binder into her hands.
Sakura was about to walk out of her bedroom when she remembered something; she wasn't wearing her necklace.
"Damn." She sighed, rushing back to her dresser and plucking it off the top, quickly hooking it around her neck.
Sakura never, almost, was without her necklace. It was a simple gold chain with a key pendant on it. But the key was what really made it special. It was pink with a little gold star on the top of it.
Sakura had no idea where she got it, but she loved it and hated to be without it.
She smiled, stratified, at what she saw in the mirror, and rushed out of the room and hopping down the steps.
"Finally!" Touya groaned as Sakura slipped past him and out the door without a word. "Good morning to you too squirt." Sakura got in his car, a black Toyota, and folded her arms across her chest. "Don't, call me squirt."
"Okay then, Saku." Touya smirked.
Sakura shot him a glare of pure acid. "I think not."
"How about cherry blossom?"
Sakura elbowed him, hard, in the side.
"Fine! Fine!" Touya laughed, turning the key and starting the car. "I'll lay off."
Sakura turned, victorious, and looked out the window as her brother pulled out of the driveway.
She hated it when people called her "Cherry Blossom". Sure, that's what he name meant…but for some reason, she felt as if no one had the right to call her that.
Well, once person could. But she didn't know who. Not yet, anyway.
Somehow, it felt as if she knew who that person was, though, just like she knew the meanings of her many dreams, but she just couldn't think of it. As if the closer she got to the answer, the further away it pulled.
The girl frowned. She'd been having those…dreams, for a year now. But they didn't seem, at all, like dreams.
They seemed more like…memories.
Impossible. Sakura thought to herself. There's no way that my dreams can be my memories. It's just not…possible.
Her dreams all consisted of, basically, the same things; her, as a young girl of only ten or eleven, running around Tamoeda in the middle of the night in these outrageous costumes, a pink staff in her hands with a bird's head on it. Sometimes a star, just like her necklace.
The dreams also consisted of a boy. A chocolate-haired boy. Very handsome with cold almond eyes. He was always dressed in a green outfit, like some ancient Chinese fighting child or something.
There were also beasts, like a lion and an angel, in her dreams. Also, the little stuffed animal from her dream that morning. He seemed to always be around somewhere.
"What's wrong Sakura?" Touya asked.
Sakura turned to look at her brother, his eyes were clouded with worry. "What do you mean?"
Why was Touya always so…worried, about her?
Touya shrugged as they pulled up to the high school. "Nothing. You just looked so lost in thought."
"Oh, it's nothing." Sakura smiled. "Just a weird dream, that's all. Thanks for the ride, see you at dinner."
"Sure." Touya said as Sakura got out of the car and stepped onto the school property. "Sure…"
Sakura sighed, glad to be out of the car. For a year now Touya had been extra protective of her, always wanting to know where she was and with who. What she would be doing that day. Why she was staring into space for so long…
The auburn-haired girl sighed, turning into the school and walking towards her locker.
Though her dreams were almost always on her mind, she could never get that boy out of her thoughts. Ever.
He looked so…familiar to her. But who was he?
Tomoyo walked up at Sakura as she spun the combo to her lock. "Morning Sakura!"
Sakura smiled. "Morning Tomoyo. You're here early."
Tomoyo sighed and nodded. "I had to meet with a friend, so I decided to come a little earlier. You're here earlier today, too."
Sakura rolled her eyed. "Yeah, yeah I know."
Tomoyo loved to tease Sakura about her sleeping in skills.
Sakura knew, however, who Tomoyo had been there to meet. That boy, from England, Eriol Hirazagwa. He was a nice enough boy, for a sixteen-year-old, but he seemed kind of…different to Sakura. Somehow.
Eriol had shaggy blue hair and brilliant blue eyes hidden behind thin silver glasses. He was smart, and seemed to know everything about the spirit world and anything to do with magic.
It's not that Eriol wasn't good enough for Tomoyo, who was, in Sakura's opinion, one of the most beautiful girls in the school. Tomoyo had long silvery black hair that fell to her waist in slight curls, her gray eyes gave her a sad, mysterious look. Tomoyo was charming and always nice to everyone.
But…Sakura didn't know Eriol all that well, and she was a little protective of her friends. Especially of Tomoyo, who was more like a sister to Sakura than anything.
"Want to come over to my house tonight?" Tomoyo asked. "Me and Meilin are having a sleepover, you can join us if you want."
Sakura smiled. She hadn't been to a sleepover in a long time. "Sure, that sounds fun."
Even though Meilin was coming.
It's not that Sakura didn't like Meilin, it's just that Meilin didn't seem to like her all too much.
Meilin Rae was this Chinese girl who had supposedly moved to Tamoeda when she and her cousin, Syaoran Li, were ten. But Sakura couldn't remember.
Meilin had long raven hair that fell past her shoulders, but she tied it up in two buns on her head, letting a little bit of it falling down. A little childish, but still cute. Meilin had, though, the most amazing ruby eyes Sakura had ever seen. She didn't know anyone with ruby eyes, other than Meilin.
And as for Meilin's cousin, Syaoran? You could barely tell they were cousins at all.
Syaoran was, as far as Sakura could tell, the hottest boy in the school. His shaggy/messy chocolate hair gave him the sexy rock star type look, and his deep almond eyes made him all the more adorable. Not to mention his arms and legs, which were very nicely cut, obviously from training. He also had a nice chest, his abs were rock hard. Sakura had seem them, once, when he'd taken off his shirt in gym to play "skins vs. shirts" basketball.
It was exciting.
But Sakura didn't have a chance with him, she knew, because every girl in the school was in love with him, other than Tomoyo and Meilin.
Though, sometimes Sakura caught Meilin staring at her cousin a little more lovingly than a family should.
Tomoyo had told Sakura time and time again that she could get Syaoran if she only wanted to, that she was gorgeous and should give him a try.
But Sakura wasn't sure. What could Syaoran Li possibly like about her? After all, Sakura was just a regular teenager girl. Nothing special, just…normal.
Yeah Sakura…far from normal there girl.
Hope you liked it!
