A Card Captor Sakura Fanfiction


Last Time…

When it was Sakura's turn, all the boy's in the stands whistled and cheered for her. Sakura floated down there standing in front of Syaoran smiling cheerfully at him.

"Hmm… Let's see how good you are Kinomoto." Syaoran raised his sword and stood in a fighting pose.

Sakura smiled at him softly.

"Please keep me entertained Li-san."


Chapter 002: The Match & The Light House

Syaoran smirked lightly as he watched Sakura stand in an awkward fighting pose, that showed that she didn't know what to do easily. Yet he wondered why did Sakura seem so confident, not even a small amount of fear at all. She was still smiling at him in full confidence and by the way her eyes looked, she was obviously amused.

'Nah… I'll win easily.' thought Syaoran confidently.

"Sword" As Sakura said that her hand began to glow lightly, soon shaping into a long sword that was extremely sharp with an emerald placed on the center, sparkling. As Sakura spun the sword once she stood into an awkward fighting pose.

"Shall we?" Syaoran glared at her angrily, nodding his head, observing her fighting stance, as a burst of energy exploded from him. Sprinting towards Sakura quickly at an intense speed with his sword in front of him, slashing at Sakura's right side which was easily blocked by her without an effort. Syaoran slashed at her legs, hoping to catch her in an unprepared moment but failed. Sakura evaded his attack by placing her hand on his sword, lifting herself up and then doing two back flips landing safely on the ground. As Syaoran pulled out a piece of paper, chanting.

"Now, element, fire!" shouted Syaoran as a flame shaped in a dragon erupted from the paper heading toward Sakura. Sakura eye's widened in surprise as she quickly called out Shield which blocked the fire. Sakura stood up again, looking at Li amused giving a small giggle.

"Ara, ara. Aren't we being a tad bit hasty? But since you want to play this way, I'll gladly go along with it. Ne Sya-kun?" Sakura smirked as Syaoran as he glared coldly at her, showing his great dislike of her presence here. As Sakura pulled up her sword placing a finger on it.

"Windy, Fiery, Watery, Thunder! Please grant your power to my sword!" As she said that her sword was soon covered by the elements, swirling around it lending it their powers. Sakura sprinted toward Syaoran attacking him viciously at his sides in a quick pace. Syaoran was barely dodging the blows, and he had been doing martial arts training ever since he knew how to walk. Soon Sakura caught him off guard, quietly calling Windy asking her to bind Syaoran disabling him.

Eriol soon stepped down raising his hand, telling them to stop signalling the end of the match.

"Kinomoto wins!" announced Eriol in loud clear voice, as gasps and whispers came from the entire Academy. They were all surprised, and some were even devastated by this. The great Li Clan Leader was defeated by a mere girl, who had won fairly easily. "Her Magical Level has been decided." The entire crowd turned their attention to Eriol. "Level 4"

The entire arena was filled with comments, questions, and statements of the Magical Level that she was given.

"What?"

"I knew it!"

"She's soooo cool!"

"Oh My Gosh! She's hot and strong! Great combination!"

"Sugoi (Amazing)!"

Sakura nodded her head as she released Syaoran from the bind, making him fall to the ground, not-so-gently.

"Sword, Windy, Watery, Fiery, Thunder." whispered Sakura softly, as the elements disappeared.

Syaoran stood up off the ground, groaning while he rubbed his head from the fall, scowling. Sakura walked towards him, reaching out her hand to him. As Syaoran just stared blankly at her head, raising his right eyebrow questionably.

"It is common curtsey for the opponents to shake hands after a match you know." answered Sakura plainly. Syaoran grunted as he shook her head, noticing how soft and small her hands were. Sakura smiled at him softly, quite pleased with the match. "I haven't had that much fun in awhile."

As she walked away from Syaoran, toward Eriol who had a mischievously look in his eyes. That made Sakura slightly suspicious of him, but she didn't really care.

Kero flew towards Sakura, congratulating her on her victory. He was quite pleased at how much she had improved on her skill.

"Excuse me, but can you tell me where exactly the Light House is?" Eriol nodded as he gave her a map that showed the Academy school ground, and where each housing was including all the classes. Sakura bowed respectively as she left the arena with Kero perched on her right shoulder.


As the wind blew softly caressing her cheeks, Sakura walked along a pathway passing many trees. It was dark outside and there was magically enchanted lamps that lit the pathway guiding the students in the dark. Sakura walked slowly along the path with the map in one hand. She was slightly confused and lost but she was relieved when she saw the Light Housing.

Sakura was amazed at the building as she took a look at it, scanning the design and the view. It was an old fashioned Victorian house, unlike the castles that were used for dining and school. As long vines of ivy clasped the building, laying gently against the bricks. With arch windows and a large double door that attracted the eyes of many.

As Sakura walked toward the front door, it opened up by it self allowing her entrance into the housing.

'This is interesting…' Sakura walked into housing with Kero floating beside her. Kero had a wide grin on his face, liking his new home a lot. Sakura looked around the housing amazed, as a few people inside the house stared at her.

Inside the housing was dazzling, with pearl wallpaper along the walls and marble flooring. The entrance had a glass chandelier in the middle that sparkled brightly, with stairs that had rich carvings in it. In the center of the entrance there was a flag with a symbol on it, representing the Light Housing. Sakura could tell that she would really like this housing a lot. It was so sophisticated and lovely looking.

As the people in the Light Housing whispered among themselves, staring at Sakura in awe. The most powerful sorceress and beautiful girl was staying there and living in the same housing as them.

"Oh Wow!" whispered a boy with short blonde hair and crystal blue eyes, as he watched her walk in.

"She's so cool!"

"Isn't she the one that beat Li?"

Sakura looked around feeling a bit uncomfortable from all the attention, especially the looks that she was receiving from the male sorcerers. Sakura shifted her weight from one foot to another, as she stood there. She was startled when she felt someone tap her on her shoulder making her a bit nervous. As she turned around grabbing the hand that touched her, she flipped him over with her eye's closed.

"OUCH!" moaned the figure as he layed on the floor in pain. Sakura opened one of her eyes and saw Syaoran laying on the marble floor.

"Eh. EHHH! Gomen! Li-kun!" Sakura bowed slightly as she apologized to him. "I didn't mean to. I just thought you were a hentai (pervert)…"

"YOU WHAT!" roared Syaoran in fury. He couldn't believe what he had just heard at all. Sakura had though he was a pervert, the great Li clan leader. Though he had to admit, even though Sakura was petite she was incredibly strong. He now believed that saying, 'Never judge a book by it's cover.'

"Now, now my cute little descendent, you shouldn't start a little hissy fit. It was just a mere accident you know. " Sakura turned around to see who it was and discovered that it was Eriol. She bowed her head respectively.

"Kumbaya Hiragizawa-sensei." Sakura noticed Eriol shake his head and lifted his finger to her face and lifted her chin.

"Please, call me Eriol." Sakura's eyes widened in surprise. It was the very first time a principal let alone a teacher, would actually allow a student to call them by their first name. "Since I am a student like you too." added Eriol, quite pleasantly.

"NANI!" Sakura shouted in shock as Syaoran stood himself up rubbing his shoulder in pain. He smirked slightly, chuckling softly to himself.

"Ba-ka (Idiot)… You didn't know?" Sakura shook her head as she looked at them, waiting for an explanation. Eriol made a gesture with his hand toward another room nearby that was secluded, showing that he wanted her to follow him. Sakura nodded at him looking at him suspiciously, but she followed him anyways.

As she entered the room, she took a small glance around the room. The room was like a small library, or maybe a study room. It was small, but there was still a little light in the room from the fireplace that was lit. Sakura sat in the red plush chair in a corner, as she sat down she noticed Eriol and Syaoran sitting on a chair across from her. Eriol studied her face a little bit before he started to talk.

"Ok. So let me explain this to you." Syaoran smirked slightly as he watched Sakura, who was clearly looking a little bit confused.

"I am Clow Reed's reincarnation, well actually half reincarnation. Clow Reed was the one who found and started the school for sorcerers and sorceresses. Since I am the reincarnation of the founder, the council decided to give me the right to be the principal. Which I graciously agreed, since it is quite an honour you know." Sakura nodded her head to show that she understood what he was saying. It was slowly but surely beginning to make sense.

"Anyways, since I am only 15 years old. I still attend this academy too, because I need to learn how to control my powers too. So does this make sense?"

"Um… I guess." Sakura nodded her head as she slowly processed the new information that she had received. Syaoran smirked at her lightly, shaking his head. Eriol sat up even taller than before as he folded his hands looking at her.

"By the way. Can you tell us a little about yourself?" Sakura looked at him oddly but nodded her head in agreement.

"Ok… My name is Kinomoto, Sakura. I was born in Tomoeda, Japan and I live with my father and onii-chan, Kinomoto, Fujikita and Kinomoto, Touya. I am 15 years old and I am a first year at Tomoeda High. My favourite subjects are Music and Gym and my least favourite subject is math. My favourite color is pink and I love cherry blossoms." Syaoran smiled slightly at the though that she was actually an ordinary student. Eriol nodded his head thinking.

"Is there anything else? Like when you first discovered your magical powers? Or why you are so strong in magic?"

"I learned about my magical powers when I was 9. For the rest of your questions, the answer is none of your concern. Understand?" Syaoran and Eriol nodded their head, surprised and a bit suspicious of her answer.

'Why do I feel like she's hiding something from us…' Syaoran studied her face slowly but not finding anything because of her now emotionless face. Sakura turned her head as she stared into the fireplace. Watching the flames dance around playing tag with each other. Flickering ashes away, rejecting the used ash.

"What are you hiding?" asked Syaoran. Sakura turned her head to look at her, as Syaoran blushed slightly watching the intense emerald orbs glaring at him.

"Nothing." Sakura suddenly stood up, surprising Eriol and Syaoran. Brushing of her skirt and straightening her cloak, calling Kero over. "Now If you would excuse me. I am quite tired and very exhausted. So if you would please tell or show me where I will be staying?" Eriol cleared his voice as he stood up nodding.

"Uh… Sure." Eriol turned toward Syaoran. "My cute little descendent, please escort miss Kinomoto to her housing room."

"NANI!" roared Syaoran, glaring darkly at Eriol. "Why do I have to?"

"Because I said so…"

"FINE! But you will regret what you did to me!" Syaoran glared at Sakura with hatred in his eyes. "Follow me!" Sakura smirked slightly as she followed Syaoran out of the room towards the marble stairs.

"Why is there so much hatred in your eyes?" asked Sakura softly as she followed him up the stairs.

"It's none of your business."

"But still. You should never judge a person by their looOOKKKKSS!" At the end of the sentence Sakura slipped slightly as she tripped on the stairs falling forward.

As Sakura squeezed her eyes shut, waiting in her mind, for hard impact on to the floor. But nothing happened, instead she felt a pair of strong arm wrap around her tiny waist, holding it tightly. As Sakura opened her eyes slowly she gazed into a pair of intense amber orbs. They gazed into each other eyes for several minutes, searching into each others souls. Drowning in the depths of each others eyes. All of a sudden, they snapped out of their small trance as a girl walked past them, giggling at them.

Blushing a deep crimson red color, as they felt heat flood their face. They looked away at the awkward moment. Sakura stood herself up quickly, straightening her shirt.

"Umm… Gomen Li-kun," mumbled Sakura as she looked away, "and Arigatou-desu." Sakura blushed slightly as she continued to walk up the stairs quickly.

"Uh… Um." Syaoran's face was a deep red color, as he remembered the intense emerald eyes that had gazed into. "Uh… This way."

"Um…I'm such a klutz… heh heh…"

Syaoran walked around a corner down a hall, with Sakura following behind him slowly. As silence overcame them, as they walked together awkwardly. Soon they came to a stop at a white door, with her name engraved in it, in a gold color.

"Uh.. H-here it is."

"Um… Thank you…Li-kun…" Sakura turned around as she turned the door handle, entering the room. At the last moment she turned around and called Li's name. " Li-kun? Really… Thank you very much and I hope I'll see you again soon."

Syaoran nodded his head as he rushed away quickly with a blush on his face, as he could feel his heart pounding loudly, threatening to explode out of his chest.


As Sakura walked into her room, she stood at the doorway, amazed at the sight. The room had a slight Victorian style to it. With fluffy, white drapes on the windows and scruffy red carpeting that made her feet itch slightly. The walls were a beige color that stood out a little from the lamps. The room had a small desk in a corner and a sitting area nearby. The bed was a queen-sized bed with pillows layed neatly on there. The room had it's own bathroom, with marble sinks and a shower. The room was quite nice and lovely, reminding her of a five star hotel room.

'Wow… It's such a beautiful room. This school must have a lot of money to have every room like this.' Sakura ran her finger across the bed's edge, as she felt the soft bed. She found herself falling in love with it already. As she collapsed onto the bed happily, she thought about the awkward moment that had happened just recently. Sakura blushed softly remember the moment.

All of a sudden, Sakura heard the sound of a knock on her door. As she stood up abruptly, she walked toward the door opening. It surprised her at first to see that young girl at her doorway. The girl had long white-blonde hair that framed her face prettily. She was a beauty, with her petite figure and warm attitude.

"Um… I'm sorry to disturb you but I just wanted to say hi to you. I'll leave if you want me too." The girl turned around leaving, but was stopped as soon as Sakura had told her it was okay. The girl smiled softly as she looked at Sakura, admiring her beauty too.

"It's alright. Please do come in. I wouldn't mind the company at all." She giggled softly. The girl in front of her blushed as she walked toward the small seating area nearby, sitting down.

"Arigatou. My name is Tachaji, Kyoko. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Ah. It's nice to meet you too. I am Kinomoto, Sakura and this is Kero-chan, my um… friend" Sakura bowed down respectively as she greeted her kindly. Kero looked at her curiously, but he bowed his small head down too.

"So can you tell me anything about the people here?" Kyoko nodded her head eagerly.

"Well… There's Li, Syaoran the Li clan leader. He's also known as the school prince. He's so handsome and smart and…" Kyoko looked up dreamingly, as she imagined Syaoran in her mind. The soft chestnut brown hair that was always amazingly messy and his intense amber eyes that were cold and piercing.

"Um… Please go on Tachaji-san"

"Oh please call me Kyoko."

"Oh ok. Than you must call me Sakura. It's only right."

"Oh ok! Anyways there's also Eriol the school principal and the mysterious prince charming. He's quite romantic and charming, who's really kind to every person. He also has this mysterious smile."

"Ok…"

"Go on kid." Sakura smacked Kero on his head lightly, scolding him for his rudeness. Gently telling him to be kinder to the guest.

"Oh and there's Daidouji, Tomoyo the school's queen. She's kind, beautiful, smart and very powerful. There's a rumour that Eriol and her are in love, but no one has seen them do anything intimate with each other. She's also an Enchantress I think…" she tilted her head sideways slightly, thinking.

"An Enchantress?"

"Oh yes, I think. See an Enchantress is a being that can do magic with her or his voice. They can find secrets and tap into someone's mind and explore a little bit."

"Oh I see. Anyone else?"

"Eto… There's also Kioaka, Kouji. The third handsomest guy at our school. He's great at magic and sports, and very smart. Kind of like Li-kun, except he's the player of our school. I wouldn't be surprised if he hit on you. You're quite pretty, you know." Sakura blushed slightly at this comment.

'Hoe… She thinks I'm pretty…'

'Heh… Sakura? Pretty? No kidding…' Kero chuckled a bit.

"Well anyways it's a pleasure to meet you Sakura. I should be going it's almost curfew."

"Oh yes. It was a pleasure meeting you. Do come by again and visit, k?" Kyoko smiled as she nodded her head. Turning around she left the room, closing the door behind her.

Sakura walked to her dresser as she changed into her nightgown, slipping into her bed, turning off the light's magically. Kero flew towards her, laying down next to her, snuggling in. Smiling softly she closed her eyes.

"So what do you think of the school Saku?"

"Um…Not to bad. It's quite interesting, and it'll be fun I guess."

"Oh. Ok… Oyasumi Mistress."

"Oyasumi, Kero-chan!"

Sakura closed her eye's drifting off to sleep, thinking of the day's events. She was still worn out from the fight with Li-kun. She smiled lightly, as she felt her cheek grow warm. She could still remember the way Syaoran's eyes looked. The beautiful amber glow in them, that felt warm but looked cold and distance. She was enchanted by his eyes, and she loved them.

'Hmm… Why am I thinking of him?' Sakura shook her head as she felt her eyes droop lower. She soon allowed the darkness of the night claim her, falling asleep with the image of those cold amber orbs.
