OK, so what if no one has reviewed yet, I am still moving forward at full speed. Hopefully this chapter will be longer than the last one so lets get right to it shall we. I will also be putting down any important events that happened in the last chapter, just so no one gets lost.
Introduces Gora
Introduces Baj Ar
With that let us begin!
Chapter 1:
Memories can come in all shapes and sizes. They can be bad, good, or something in between. And even though ones mind may forget these memories, the heart will never forget.
A Surprise of Good and Bad
In the quiet town of Tomoeda, Sakura Kinomoto was just happily humming as she walked her usual route through the penguin king park (that is what it's called right? If not then please tell me the correct name) on a Saturday morning. Stopping by a small pond that the government had just recently put in, to admire her reflection. She has long auburn hair that falls just bellow the shoulders, captivating emerald green eyes, smooth creamy skin, and an innocent smile capable of melting the coldest heart. Sighing she sat down at a nearby bench and just sat there reflecting all the things that had happened right here in this park, without a care in the world.
Without even giving a sign that he was there, a boy with chocolate brown hair and soft brown eyes crept up on Sakura and said, "hey Sakura."
Sakura jumped up startled and said, "EEEKK!" (Just to warn you, I am very bad at sound effects so please bear with me)
She turned around to come face to face with- "Syaoran," she exclaimed, "you know I hate it when you do that!"
Syaoran just smirked and simply said, "sorry 'bout that," as he took a seat beside her. "So, what are you thinking about," he asked, even though he was pretty sure he knew the answer.
"Oh just remembering all the good times we had here," she replied, and Syaoran suddenly fell to the ground anime style.
'Man she is dense,' thought Syaoran as he picked himself up, 'she can't even remember that tommow is her 13th birthday.'
Syaoran sweat dropped and stammered, "Oh, ok," as he dusted himself off and sat back down.
After a few minutes Syaoran stood up and said, "I'll see you later Sakura, I have some things I need to get done before I go home."
Sakura smiled and replied, "Ok, see you later."
It was true that Syaoran had things to do but it all had to do with the surprise party they were throwing for Sakura. What he still had to do was:
Buy candles for the cake (did not buy or make cake)
Make some sort of food for the birthday dinner (everyone coming is making something)
And finally, he had to buy her a gift and wrap it (has no clue what he wants to get her)
So after he bought the candles and the ingredients for his food dish (not good with Japanese foods, sorry) he just needed to buy a gift. While he pondered what he was going to get her, he passed an antique shop, where something hanging in the window caught his eye. He stopped to look at the thing in the window and knew that it was perfect. It was a finely crafted gold necklace with a quarter sized emerald glimmering in the center of a silver medallion hanging from the chain. So he went inside and asked the store keeper how much the necklace was. The store keeper said that it was 5,000$ (not good with Japanese currency either), but when he saw the downcast look on Syaoran's face he offered to sell it to him for a measly 1,000$. Syaoran eagerly accepted and then hurried home to wrap it and prepare the food, but first he had to drop the candles off at the Kinomoto's house.
Switching back over to Sakura (this is the point in time where Syaoran went to do errands) we find her still sitting at the park bench. After a few minutes she gets up and heads home. Unaware to her, a figure was following her. As she was turning a corner, the figure reached out grabbed her by the arm. Before she could utter a sound the figure pulled her in, wrapped its arms around her and said, "Hey Baby, where have you been hiding all this time."
Sakura somehow managed to wriggle around to look at the figure and found a black haired young man looking down on her (no it is not Gora). "Dougal," she exclaimed, "let go of me!"
"No chance of that Cherry," replied Dougal, "your just to good to put down. Now how bout a kiss." He slowly brought Sakura up to his face while she tried desperately to break free. Just as Dougal was about to apply his lips to hers, a voice from behind them said, "it isn't nice to force something on a lady."
Dougal turned his head to yell at the voice's owner when suddenly whoever had spoke sent a punch, aimed right at Dougal's nose. As Dougal staggered back in pain he had loosened his hold on Sakura, allowing her to break free. Sakura quickly scampered away from Dougal and then looked to see who her rescuer was. Her eyes fell upon a brunette boy, with hazel green eyes. The boy saw her and asked, "Hey, are you ok?"
Sakura just nodded, still recovering from shock at what Dougal was about to do to her. Meanwhile Dougal, who had recovered from the blow to his face, decided to take advantage of the slight distraction Sakura caused to strike. He lunged at the boy who he thought had no clue at what he just did. However, the boy just took a step back in reaction, even though he was facing the opposite direction. Dougal missed the boy then fell flat on his face. Dougal stood up and shouted, "YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS YOU HERE ME! I'LL BE BACK SAKURA! YOU WILL BE MINE!"
With that he turned tail and ran away. Sakura looked over at her savior and asked, "Who are you?"
The boy simply replied, "You can call me Kevin."
Sakura replied by asking, "Well Kevin is there anything I can do to repay you?"
Kevin smiled and said, "As a matter of fact, there is," as he pulled out 4 slips of paper and held them out to her, "I want you to register for this online game."
Sakura took the pieces of paper and said, "Ok, but what are these slips for?"
Kevin chuckled, and then replied, "These pieces of paper have a different code written on each of them. The codes allow you to register for the game free, so you can give the other three to some of your friends to play."
Sakura smiled, and said, "Ok, was nice meeting you," as she ran back home.
Kevin called after her, "Nice meeting you to," then said under his breath, "Card Mistress Sakura."
The next day:
Sakura, woke up unusually early that morning, she did it subconsciously, still forgetting it was her birthday today. She groggily got out of bed, careful not to wake Kero, whom she didn't notice was really a stuffed animal, not the real thing. After showering and getting dressed, she went down stairs only to be met with darkness. "That's weird," she thought, "why is it so dark in here?" She felt around for the light switch, unaware at what was about to happen.
When she found the light switch, she flipped it on and then,
"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAKURA," cried out everyone that had been waiting patiently for her to wake up. Her entire family, all her friends, and everyone she had ever met during her CardCaptor adventures were there. Sakura nearly fell back in shock but somebody caught her before she hit the ground. Looking up at the person who caught her, she found a certain 'Little Wolf' beaming down at her. "Now we wouldn't want our star person to be knocked unconscious on her birthday now would we," said Syaoran in an amused voice.
"Yeah come on Sakura! Come and open your presents," said her best friend Tomoyo.
Sakura grinned, said, "Let me at 'em," and in a matter of minutes, the once nicely wrapped mound of gifts was reduced to a mound of discarded wrapping paper. Meanwhile, someone stood outside, looking in and said quietly, "that's right. Enjoy yourself now CardCaptors. For soon you will be trapped in my nightmare." With that, Gora faded into the shadows.
So, how was this chapter? A lot better than the last one right? Anyway, I am planning on starting "chapter 2: A Journey Begins" sometime soon. Please R&R because I do not plan on posting the next chapter until I get at least 5 more reviews (I have 1 review at the time this is being typed).
This Necromancer Gora, signing off.
