Last time…
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.
Chapter 003 : The First Day: Part 01
Dream Sequence
Opening her eyes, revealing her soft emerald eyes, she looked carefully around the area. Spinning around a couple of times her eyes widened in surprise as she looked around. She soon realized where she was as she took in the images of the area into her mind.
'I've been here before…' thought Sakura slowly, as she walked around the empty field, hearing the grass sway harshly with the wind. 'I think I need my wand.' Quickly she held her hand toward her chest reaching for her key. Clutching it tightly between her fingers. She began her incantation, but was interrupted by a pair of strong arms grasping her waist and holding her wrists tightly. Making her unable to move at all. She could tell that this man was incredibly strong and powerful.
"Well, well, well… Look who's here…" chucked a strong masculine voice behind her, but not that deep, she could tell that this person was a teenager boy who was only a little older than her. Sakura could feel her body turn ice cold, as she froze in fear and surprise. "The famous Cardmistress. To what do we owe the great pleasure milady?"
"Who are you and what is it do you want?" questioned Sakura. She heard another chuckle, as she the person's breath, breathing heavily down her neck making her feel more uncomfortable.
"My… My… Why is it every time we meet. There is so much venom in your voice, so much anger, and so much fear?"
"Shut up, you bastard." As she struggled deeply trying to escape the boy's grasp, she elbowed him in the stomach and stepped on his foot. Grabbing his arm she flipped him over her pinning him against the ground as she looked at his face recognizing the surprise on his face.
"Eagar, aren't we?" chuckled the man.
"Shut up! Now tell me who you are?" Sakura studied the boy's face features carefully. The boy had spiky blonde hair and icy blue eyes, and his cheeks were broadened giving him an older look. The boy was smirking at her, clearly amused by this situation.
"That is for me to know and you to find out, but I will tell you something about me though. I am a dark sorcerer also your enemy."
"Hmmm? My enemy? Is that so?" Sakura laughed. "Let's see you try…"
"My… You're eyes are so cold. Is that because you're lonely?" Sakura eyes darkened as she listened, but the boy was clearly amused. "Is it because you're the reason why your all alone. You do know it is your fault after all, Cardmistress. It's your fault they're all dead." Sakura began to enter a trance as she felt the words enter her mind slowly. As the fog slowly swept from the ground to the air, making it harder to see him clearer.
"No… It's not my fault…" Sakura shook her head slowly as she sat up off him backing away slowly. The boy smirked as he too sat up.
"Are you sure about that? Are you sure you're not the reason why your parents died, who were trying to protect you? Your brother who was tortured just to get to you? Don't make me laugh. You know very well as much as I do that it was your fault. They died because of you" Sakura shook her head, as she felt tears in her eyes.
"That's not true…You're wrong…" sobbed Sakura as she placed her hands toward her head. " You're wrong… You're wrong…" The boy was soon chuckling at her, lifting her head up by her chin with two fingers, forcing her to look at him in his eyes. As tears trickled down her pale cheeks, she felt his lips brush over hers lightly.
"Hmmm… Though I have to admit you are quite cute milady." whispered the boy.
"NOOOOOOOO!" screamed Sakura as she heard a voice calling her name over and over. "IT'S NOT MY FAULT." sobbed Sakura.
"Sakura. Sakura. SAKURA" called the voice, awakening her from the dream.

"Sakura. SA-KU-RA! WAKE UP!" shouted Kero through her ear, as she shot up panting deeply, as she wiped the sweat out of her eyes.
"Saku… Are you alright?" asked Kero filled with concern.
"Hai… I'm alright. No worries…" replied Sakura as she felt Kero's eyes study her carefully, trying to read her expression. Kero nodded as he flew toward the night table sitting on it carefully.
"You know you really should be getting to class, because your going to be late you know."
"Eh… EHHHH! NANI! HOEEE!" shouted Sakura as she scrambling out of her bed and running to her dresser, changing into her new school uniform. Grabbing Kero with her she ran out the door with her school bag.
A few minutes later she was downstairs in the hall. As she walked through the small hallway towards the door, she felt a hand on her shoulder, surprising her and Kero.
"KYAAAAA!" screamed Sakura as she turned around, grabbing the hand and then flipping the person over her head. She heard a groan and then another person behind her chuckling softly. Kero who was floating beside her floated toward the figure, laughing.
"Owned! Hahahaha!" laughed Kero loudly, but soon stopped after he saw the look on Sakura face, quietly he floated away, this time laughing nervously.
"Owww… You monster…" groaned the person as he sat up, glaring at her with his amber eyes. "Why is it every time we meet. I always end up injured."
"Now now… My cute little descendent. It's your fault for surprising her, and not give her any warning you know." chuckled the boy with mysterious eyes, as he watched the scene happily. He was delighted at the fact that Syaoran was always being beaten up by a female.
"Li-kun… Eriol-kun… Gomen! Honestly, I didn't realize that it was you." bowing her head she apologized to them.
"No no. It was Syaoran's fault after all. Seeing as how he was hitting on a cute girl like you." Sakura blushed slightly at the comment, along with Syaoran who was a crimson red color. "You look great in your uniform, Sakura-chan" Sakura blushed even more at the comment as Kero nodded his head in agreement. Syaoran turned his head to look at Sakura in her uniform. Even he had to admit that she looked great in the school's uniform.
The school's uniform consisted of a navy blue ruffled skirt that went to her mid-thigh and a white dress shirt with cuffs and a neck collar. It had a navy blue tie and a matching cape that was slung casually on her shoulder. The uniform brought out her features nicely, as it showed all the curves that she had.
Syaoran blushed slightly as he realized that he was gaping at her, looked away quickly he tried to hide the fact that he had been just staring at her. The only person who noticed that was Eriol, who was chuckling slightly.
"Arigatou. Eriol-kun" replied Sakura, who was blushing even more than before.
"Now, let's have him escort you around the campus as an apology for scaring you, ne?"
"WHAT! When did I agree with that you bastard!" roared Syaoran, as he scrambled back to his feet, giving a deadly glare at both Eriol and Sakura.
"I agree with him!" shouted Kero who had somehow magically appeared in front of them again. "We don't need this Gaki at all. Me and Saku will be just fine without you."
"Now now… Since you did cause Miss Kinomoto all that problems. The least you can do is show her around. From now on you are her partner, and you can not argue with me or I will get sic Meiling on you."
"Uh… Ok… I'll show her around." snapped Syaoran, as he shuddered slightly at the thought of Meiling, cling onto him, hugging him and never letting him go. Sakura giggled slightly at his reaction, but wondered slightly who Meiling was.
"That's great!" cheered Eriol as he clapped his hands together. As Syaoran raised his hand signalling Sakura and the stuff animal to follow him. Walking out of the Light Housing Entrance Door they left the Housing and started toward the Main Hall for breakfast.
As they entered the hall, they could feel every pair of eyes in the hall watching them carefully. Observing their every move, finding it quite amusing. How the Li clan Leader and the new idol student walking together, hanging around each other.
"Ne? Li-kun… How do we eat?" asked Sakura as they sat down at the Light Housing table.
"Would you shut up?" snapped Syaoran as he glared at everyone looking at them, causing them to turn their attention back to what they were doing before. "All you have to do is say what you want to eat, and it'll appear on your plate."
"Oh… Ok!" As Sakura grabbed her plate she smiled happily as she said what she wanted for breakfast. "Eto… I want pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, ham, hash brown, and a glass of orange juice!" As the food appeared in front of her she could feel the stares that she had received from everyone there, watching her eat.
"You may look small, but you have a huge appetite." stated Syaoran. Sakura grinned at him, happily.
"I know, but I'm quite hungry you know! Plus Kero has an even bigger appetite than me" giggled Sakura as she happily ate a piece of pancake that she had cut up. Kero was sitting near her in front of a huge pile of chocolate pudding, happily eating a cup of pudding for breakfast. At that moment the entire hall hushed, as they heard the front door of the Main Hall opening. Everyone in the hall had stopped to watch one person walk in. Turning around Sakura looked carefully at the door curiously watching too along with everyone in the hall, except for Syaoran and the Head Table who continued to eat breakfast.
The door that was being watched intensely by everyone in the hall, was soon walked through by a petite female in the school's uniform. She had long raven black hair and cheerful, sparkling amethyst eyes. Sakura soon realized that it was the same girl from the Welcoming Ceremony who sorted all the new students into their Housings. Sakura was amazed at her beauty and elegance. The girl was looking around the Main Hall and she soon caught Sakura's eye. She smiled as she walked towards the Light Housing table in Sakura and Syaoran's direction.
"Ohaiyo Gozamious Syaoran-kun, Kinomoto-san and Kero-chan." smiled the girl. Syaoran turned around and looked at the girl in they eye.
"Ohaiyo… Tomoyo-chan" answered Syaoran turned back to his breakfast. Sakura looked at the girl in confusion.
"Ah… Gomen Kinomoto-san. I'm Daidouji, Tomoyo. It's a pleasure to meet you. Please call me Tomoyo." Sakura smiled at her happily.
"Oh. I am Kinomoto, Sakura. Please call me Sakura too." greeted Sakura, as she watched Tomoyo study her carefully.
"Oh man…" muttered Syaoran as he covered his ear. Sakura looked at him confusingly, wondering why he was covering his ear.
"KAWAII!" screamed Tomoyo. As the entire hall jumped up in surprise. Tomoyo laughed sheepishly as she apologized for the interruption. "Gomen…"
"Typical…" muttered Syaoran.
"Oh Hush." warned Tomoyo as she slapped his arm, making him yelp in pain. Sakura looked confusingly around.
"Hoe…?" asked Sakura.
"You know you're very, very cute! Will you be my model?" asked Tomoyo as she held Sakura's hand with a hopeful look in her eyes. She could just imagine Sakura in her dresses looking ever so cute. It was just dreamy and lovely.
"Uh… Hai." answered Sakura who was in full shock, "E-heh-heh…! I have to go… um… get some butter… yeah… butter…Be right back! ok? Heh…!" Sakura soon quickly disappeared, along with Kero, as she ran away to the other side of the table quickly. Leaving Syaoran and Tomoyo by them selves.
"So…Syaoran-kun…" started Tomoyo as she started to get a mischievous look in her eyes while she looked at Syaoran who was drinking a glass of orange juice. "Do you like Sakura-chan?" At that moment, Syaoran spitted out the juice that he was drinking, coughing heavily as he tried to breath again. Tomoyo started to giggle softly at Syaoran, who was clearly embarrassed.
"W-what are you t-talking about?" stuttered Syaoran as he tried to catch his breath again.
"I know you like her. Seeing as how you reacted to my question and my statement. Oh-ho-ho-ho!" laughed Tomoyo happily.
"S-shut up!"
"Well anyways…" answered Tomoyo, who was looking away in a different direction, "Look who's back!" Syaoran quickly glanced to the side, trying to see what she had seen and who she was talking about. He soon realized that it was Sakura, the one that Tomoyo was talking about. Sakura was walking away quickly from a huge crowd of guys, asking her out.
"Gomen! It took much longer than I thought to get some butter without drawing attention to myself. He-he…" apologized Sakura, who was entirely embarrassed.
"No no! It's quite fine!" answered Tomoyo. "Well anyways I'm guessing you don't understand much about our school, do you?"
"Oh no! Li-kun hasn't had the chance to explain it to me at all."
"Oh that's great!" cheered Tomoyo. "I'll explain it to you then! Well anyways. Clow Academy is an school for young sorcerers and sorceresses. It was a school that was created to help sorcerers and sorceresses who were new to this type of magic and help them enhance their powers. Also it was created to help them learn about their powers and understand them." Sakura nodded her head to show her understanding.
"No kidding…" muttered Kero. Sakura gave Kero a look that was clearly saying, 'Either you shut up or you'll never see another pudding cup as long as you live.' Kero soon quieted down eating his pudding cup quietly.
"Anyways. Clow-sama also thought that it was just as important to learn Natural skills along with Sorcery. So he decided to make Clow Academy a school for both sorcery and natural skills. So that is the reason why we have Natural lessons on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Friday. On Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday will be Sorcery Classes and on Sundays is a free day. In which students are allowed to travel to the city or go home. As long as they return back to the school, which is the one and only rule here. So do you understand?" asked Tomoyo, as she watched Sakura nod her head.
"Um yes… I do get it."
"Well since it's Friday. We have Natural Classes first, so let's have Syaoran-kun lead the way to your class and help you get your schedule, ne?"
"Whatever…" muttered Syaoran as he rose from his seat and signalled for Sakura and Kero to follow him. Sakura nodded her head quickly as she bowed politely to Tomoyo, waving goodbye and she called for Kero to follow them.
As Syaoran led Sakura and Kero to the large oak door that allowed people to enter and exit out of the Main Hall. He stopped at an small computer near the door, pressing in his and Sakura's student id. Their schedules appeared in front of them magically. Sakura was amazed by this, smiling slightly she took her schedule happily from him. Syaoran looked over Sakura's shoulder as he took a glance at her schedule.
"W-WHAT IS THIS!" roared Syaoran, causing everyone in the hall to look up and stare at them. Some girls even cried out loud, because of their fear of him. Sakura looked at him confusingly.
"Nani?"
"Why do I have the same exact schedule as you?" asked Syaoran who was furious by this. He could guess easily on who had most likely made this happily. Looking back at the head table he saw the damn bastard grinning his chestier cat grin at him.
"Hoe! Is that true?"
"Yeah…" grumbled Syaoran, who was clearly angry. Soon they began to notice that everyone had left already.
"EHH! WE'RE LATE!" shouted Sakura as Syaoran grabbed her hand leading her to their first class, which happened to be Math for two hours. Sakura groaned slightly at the thought of math. She despised Math a lot and it was her worse subject, but she still did okay. She wasn't the best though.
"See you later Kero!" called Sakura, as she waved goodbye to Kero as she ran out the door with Syaoran telling him to be good while she was away.
When they arrived at the class they could feel everyone in there staring at them intensely. Some of the girls squealed in delight at the thought of Syaoran being in their Math class. Some of the guys grinned at each other at the thought of Sakura being with them in the same room. Sakura smiled brightly at them causing them to blush slightly, as they were amazed at her beauty.
As they sat down into one of the desks in the back as people began to crowd near them asking them out, or just asking them question. Sakura smiled slightly at them, as she turned down the invitations one by one, she looked at Syaoran slightly. Noticing the huge crowds of admirers near him, admiring him and commenting on him.
Suddenly everyone stopped talking as they watched a young woman walk into the room with crimson red hair and beautiful brown eyes step in. She was enchantingly beautiful and she drew the attention of everyone in the room. Sakura blushed a considerably amount as she took notice of her beauty. The woman soon stepped forward to the front of the class placing her books on to the small podium that was in front of the classroom.
"Ohaiyo Gozamious minna-san. I am Mizuki, Kaho! I am your math teacher for the year and hopefully even longer. Let's introduce each other one by one please." announced Miss Mizuki as she signalled for the first student sitting in the first roll to introduce herself. This went on for the entire class. Soon it was Syaoran's turn.
"I'm Li, Syaoran. You can call me Li and only Li. No one is allowed to call me, Syaoran unless I give you permission. I am the future Li Clan Leader and that is all." Syaoran sat down as soon as he finished. Sakura soon stood up after him, looking at everyone clearly in their eye.
"Hello! I am Kinomoto, Sakura. I am 15 years old and I my favourite subject is Music and Gym. I hope we get along well, ne?"
"Very good miss Kinomoto and it is a pleasure to meet you too." announced Miss Mizuki. At that moment the bell rang, indicating that the class was over and that they should move to their next subject. Standing up every walked out of the class quickly.
'Hmm…what's my next class?' wondered Sakura as she looked on to her schedule. Her face brightening up as she found out that her next class was Gym. Syaoran was soon behind her with his school bag slung over his shoulder casually.
"Let's go." called Syaoran as he began to walk down the hall of the School Castle with Sakura, blushing slightly as Sakura walked side by side. Sakura followed him happily, as they soon arrived at the boy and girls locker. Sakura entered the girls locker room, noticing how every girl was changing magically.
Flickering her hand she changed into her Gym clothes which consisted of navy blue shorts and a white t-shirt. It was casual and sporty looking, and not that different. As she stepped outside she ran to the soccer field where the class was being held. She soon spotted Tomoyo, Eriol and Syaoran chatting casually with each other. Tomoyo turned around waving to Sakura happily and she was about to go over, but the sensei had arrived telling them to all sit down onto the ground.
"Kanichiwa! I am Mr.Kichiro your gym teacher! It is a pleasure to meet you all. Today we will be doing a Natural activity, or a sport as they call it. I do believe it is called soccer in the Natural world. We will be dividing into two teams and both girls and boys will be playing with each other." explained Kichiro-sensei. "Now let's divide you into teams ok?"
Kichiro-sensei soon began to divide them into two teams. Sakura and Tomoyo was on one team while Syaoran and Eriol was on the other team. Sakura stretched her calves as she walked onto the soccer field getting into her forward position. At the center, Syaoran was playing center forward, while Sakura played left wing.
'Hmph… This should be interesting, ne?' thought Sakura happily at the thought of having fun again. She enjoyed messing with Syaoran and seeing him angry, it was kind of like a new hobby for her. She soon noticed that he was watching her, staring at her intensely, she soon returned a wink, causing him to blush. Eriol, who was playing right wing, smirked as he saw that and Tomoyo, who was playing defence, giggled.
The teacher soon tossed the ball into the air, which indicated the start of the soccer game. As Syaoran took the ball easily, dribbling it down the field, except Sakura was right behind him smiling at him slightly. Syaoran smirked at her, clearly entertained.
"Bring it on Kinomoto!"
"Of course, I will not lose to you anyways."
