So, here's chapter 1! I am going to have a lot of fun writing this fanfic :) But anyway, I would still like to know what you think about which plot I should follow... Well, actually what I need to know is what characters should I include... but yeah.

Anyway, I have put up a poll on my profile and I would appreciate it if you would go and check it out (it's about what story I should work diligently on until it's finished...) and I would also like to apologize for my horrible punctuation... this hasn't been edited (I have a baaad habit of not getting that done -.- )

Finally, the translation of one more character here that I forgot was important...

Aiden Avalon- Fujitaka Kinomoto

So yeah, I think that's all so please enjoy and review! Thanks!

Sakura sighed as she finished writing the letter and placed her pencil next to the book she had told her brother about. It had been a few months since she had actually found the book, and it had taken that long for her to decide what to actually put in the letter, or even if she could write it.

"Sakura! Did you're dad make anymore of these cookies?"

Turning, Sakura glared at the little orange plush toy on her bed. He was surrounded by crumbs and wrappers from all of the snacks he had been eating while Sakura's father was away.

"No," Sakura said, pushing a long lock of her brown hair out of her face, "he didn't think there would be a small glutton living with me so he only made enough for one," she smiled at Kero's expression and turned back to her letter, wondering if she should seal it or not.

"Why don't you just tell him?" Kero flew up besides Sakura and looked over the letter that Sakura had just written. "You're telling your brother aren't you?"

Sakura flinched. "I-I'm not quite sure I'm going to send it to him. I think it would be best if he didn't know what's going on..." she let out a nervous laugh as she folded up the letter. Kero flew down quickly and tried to grab the letter from Sakura's hands, but she pulled it away from him before he could get to it.

"Come'on! I wanna read it!"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because it's my letter. You have nothing to do with it." Sakura stood and put the letter in the envelope, sealing it so that Kero couldn't get to it. "Besides, my brother and Father are different. Touya, he can see things like I can. Father can't." she placed the letter on the table and headed over to her bed.

Kero followed, settling nicely on the pillow. "I wonder why that is. Was your mom able to do things like that?"

Sakura thought about that while she got ready for bed. "I don't know, she might have. You have to remember that she died when I was three, so I can't remember much about her."

Guessing that he had tread upon a touchy subject, Kero decided to stop talking and change the subject a little. "So, it's been three months since you started collecting the cards, why are you only telling your brother about this now?" Sakura pulled on her night shirt before finally climbing into her bed, pondering Kero's question.

"Well, I suppose it might be because I'm tired of keeping all of these secrets from him. Besides, he's most likely going to find out when he comes home anyway so I might as well tell him now. But I did forget to add all of the other cards I caught..." she muttered to herself. Besides the three she had told her brother about, Sakura had also captured, THE ILLUSION, THE FLOWER, THE THUNDER, and THE SHADOW.

She reached up and turned off her bedside lamp as Kero replied; "You're a weird one, Sakura." A smile reached her lips as the darkness flooded over them.

Sakura had no reason to deny that she was weird, after all, most girls her age were off dating or worrying about their looks. But Sakura was different. She hated everything about school, except for gym, with a burning passion, deciding that practicing for her gymnastic meets was a whole lot more important than learning why the quadratic formula worked and how it can be used in real life.

Of course, there was nothing more important to her than her friends. Naoko, Chiharu, Rika and Tomoyo. These girls made up the all popular Idol Group in Tomoeda High, and Sakura was blessed enough to have been friends with them since elementary school. Because of her obsession with sports, she was not quite as favorable as her friends, but luckily for her, that didn't matter to them.

They were true friends.

"No Sakura! Don't do that!"

Sakura jumped slightly as Kero yelled that out before mumbling something incoherent and shifting slightly. She smiled at him before going back to her thoughts.

Tomorrow would start the first day of the second semester, and she had gotten wind that there would be a new students joining them. Usually they didn't find out about new students until the day they arrived, but one of her friends had heard the teachers talking about it; a person who had moved to Tomoeda from Hong Kong, and was going to be in class 2-B.

She smiled as the though brought back memories of the first time she had met Yuki. He had also been an exchange student, though from where Sakura never did find out, and he and Touya had become fast friends. Of course, Sakura had been completely infatuated with the boy, that is, until she found out that he was dating her brother. That was an interesting day.

"Don't forget Sakura, there will be someone out there for you." Tomoyo had told Sakura after she had cried her eyes out for an hour. "Don't ever give up on love."

Sakura sighed at the memory and rolled on her side, and finally drifting into a deep sleep.

A large radio tower loomed above me, glowing eerily underneath the bright full moon. I watched it, dazed, not quite sure where I was or what was going on. There was no tower like this one in Tomoeda. In Tokyo mayb-

It was Tokyo Tower!

I shook my head, my eyes shut tightly as I tried to figure out what was going on. I lived no where near Tokyo Tower, not to mention the fact that I had never been there. So how could I be standing here, looking out at it...

When I opened my eyes again, the scenery had changed. I was standing on the top of the school building, wearing my uniform, and holding the strange pink staff in my hands. It was the middle of a school day, but I didn't seem to mind. In fact, the only weird thing was how strong the wind was. It was so strong, that I was nearly knocked off of my feet. I looked up and saw that in front of me was a boy.

I couldn't really see his face, but he was wearing the same uniform as I was, and there was a sword in his hands. He was in a strange fighting stance I had never seen before and I could tell that he was about to attack me, though why was a mystery. I tried to call out to him, but no sound came out.

The boy dashed forward and Sakura barely managed to doge his attack, and she let out a scream.

"Sakura! Wake up!" Kero yelled, startling Sakura into a half awake state.

"Hoe..." Sakura looked around, barely aware of the blaring alarm that was going off above her head.

"Sakura! Are you okay?" She glanced at the little creature standing on her knee, not sure what he was talking about. "Sakura?"

"Sorry Kero, I don't know what your talking about." The young girl reached up, finally noticing the alarm going off, and pressed the off button to quiet her alarm clock. "Did something happen?"

Kero gave her a look of disbelief before floating up to her face. "You started screaming loudly and struggling, kinda like you were dying."

Sakura blinked. "Did I?" she looked down at her hands, trying to recall if there had been anything scary in her dream. Nothing came to her. "Sorry, I don't know why I did that." Kero dropped a few inches but quickly caught himself.

"Well, you're lucky that your dad isn't here right now, that snow rabbit as well. Otherwise they might have thought you had a nightmare."

Smiling sheepishly, Sakura nodded and then glanced at her clock. "Wah! It's this time already!" she screeched, "I'm never going to get used to this!"

She scrambled out of bed, trying to get ready for school as fast as she could. Normally, her father or Yuki, who was staying with them for a while, would make sure she got up, but both of them were gone for a while. Her father, Fujitaka, had begun to work at dig sites over seas more often, leaving Yuki to take care of Sakura after Touya left. But right now Yuki was busy visiting some old friends of his who had moved to the inner city of Tokyo, so Sakura was left by herself.

Finally, she was ready to go to school. She dashed out of her room, knocking Kero into the wall as she flew by him. Normally she would have apologized, but today she was too late to stop and do anything, even get breakfast. She was meeting her friends at the school early, not for any particular reason, but she still didn't want to be late, especially since it was the first day back.

Slipping on her shoes, Sakura debated whether or not to bike there. In the end she decided it wasn't worth it to get out her bike, so she dashed out of the house on foot, running as fast as she could.

Kero always found that the perfect view was the large window in Sakura's room. From there, he could see who was coming and going, how many people passed by the house during the day, and if he needed to keep quiet while playing video games.

But right now, he was watching his Mistress scramble out the front door and sprint down the street, wondering if he had chosen the right person to become the new master of the Clow Cards. The fact that she could open the book of Clow was proof enough that she had extensive magical powers, but was it enough?

Kero had noticed how ditzy she was, despite her talents as a gymnast, and he began to worry that something bad would happen to her. Especially with the dream she had just witnessed. Even though Kero knew nothing of went on in the dream, he knew it was a fortunetelling dream, and that scream before she woke up was not a good sign.

Sighing, he closed his eyes and allowed his own magical abilities to flow out, lifting the book of Clow into the air and over to him.

"What should I do, Clow?" He whispered, placing one tiny paw on the cover of the book, wishing desperately for an answer. He knew he wasn't going to get one though; Clow Reed had died over thirty years ago, there was no way that Kero could talk to him now.

He let out another sigh and replaced the book back on Sakura's desk, hoping that nothing bad would happen to her.

"Hoe! I'm so late!" Sakura panted as she checked her watch. She was supposed to have been at the school grounds five minutes ago, and she was sure that her friends were already there, waiting for her impatiently. "I should have ridden my bike!"

Finally, she turned the last corner that led to her school, and relief flooded through her when she saw the large building she had her classes in, but the feeling was soon replaced by a feeling of horror when she crashed into someone.

She was so surprised by the fact that she had collided with someone, that she stumbled backwards and nearly fell, but the person grabbed her wrist, keeping her upright.

"I'm so sor-!" Sakura began, but a strange feeling washed over her and she couldn't keep talking. She looked up slowly at the person, and was surprised at how familiar he looked to her.

Amber eyes stared coldly down at her, but there was a softness to them that kept her from feeling afraid. His chocolate brown hair hung in his face in a messy fashion, though it didn't look bad on him, and Sakura felt mesmerized by the man in front of her as he stared at her, unmoving and silent. Suddenly his glare turned hard and he released Sakura's wrist, walking past her.

"Watch where you're going, you could have gotten hurt." he said in a low voice. As he walked by, Sakura felt her senses coming back to her, and she spun around, not quite sure what had just happened, to watch the mysterious man walk away, only to realize that he was wearing the male uniform for her school.

"Who-" she started to say, but was interrupted by the sound of someone calling her name.

"Sakura! Sakura are you alright?" she turned to see Tomoyo running towards her with a worried expression embedded on her face. "You're never this late! Is everything okay?" The other three girls ran up as well, all asking her if she was alright.

Sakura put on a smile. "Of course I'm alright! I just slept in, that's all." she laughed, shrugging. Tomoyo let out a sigh of relief and Naoko pushed past her to get a better look at Sakura.

"Really? You look like you've seen a ghost." The bookworm observed. "Have you?" she peered over the rim of her glasses at Sakura, "Cuz I need something to write about, and what better topic than a horror story!" her eyes gleamed at the thought, and Chiharu pulled her back.

"Naoko, you should give Sakura some space, she might faint if you keep talking like that."

"Hoe..." Despite the fact that Sakura could see spirits, they still scared her. She tried to act tough about it in front of her brother, but other than that she refused to see talk about things like that. Naoko let out a sigh.

"It must be nice to be able to see ghosts..." she muttered. Chiharu and Rika laughed at this. Sakura had told them in middle school about her ability to see the dead, and to her surprise, they not only accepted it, but loved the idea that they had a friend that had a sixth sense. However, she had only told Tomoyo about the magic...

Tomoyo gave Sakura a smile and cleared her throat. "Common you guys," she commanded, "it's about time we let Sakura go to school. After all, she is in charge of classroom duties today."

Sakura blinked. "Wait, I am?" she asked stupidly before remembering that her teachers had assigned the first day of the new semester to her. "Oh no!" Her friends laughed and the five of them started to hurry to the school grounds, completely unaware of the boy who was watching them from a rooftop.

Well, watching one of them.

I know that my chapters are really short right now, they'll get longer as the story progresses more so please be patient! But other than that, I hope you enjoyed the chapter :)
