A/N: Next up, Kage kado (Cough) Shadow card. Also, if someone can find a jap words for the binding chain incantation. Much appreciated. Time for some fun! Enjoy! Ignore that last comment... This is completely English this time.
Also, 15 minutes and 3 reviews. Also thanks kingdark. Now for those who are not familiar with my work. Please note, I never give everything away. There are levels to my madness when it comes to storytelling. So please... Don't lose faith in this just because of the first chapter. It's like they say. Never judge a book by its cover... Or in this case the first chapter. And also... Come on... You've got to say that Naruto surviving the fall isn't normal people!
Also, please note, that I don't know if I mentioned this but the time line here... Is around about 2007, our timeline. Though I won't focus on anything outside it that isn't important... Only everything that is... Like the manga timeline of bleach for one! Oh, and computer games. XD
Chapter 2
Naruto was the first person up the next morning and crept out the room to let Sakura sleep after the night of adventure they had. He was greeted by Toya, who was sitting in the kitchen. Both looked at each other.
"Himawari..." Toya spoke as Naruto glared and walked off.
"Oroka na jaku..." Naruto muttered sitting down to watch TV. Toya merely shrugged and went back to his tea.
Half hour later Kero awoke and floated by Sakura's bed. "Sakura... Sakura..." Sakura rolled over in her bed.
"I can't eat anymore..." Kero sighed before looking at the clock.
"Who was it that set the alarm at 7? Weren't you going to get up early?" Sakura slowly awoke the Kero's voice but was not very much awake.
'Osaka accent? Nobody in my family has that accent.' Sakura sat up. "Naruto-kun..." She yawned looking at the TV. "It's not on... That means..." She looked up to see Kero grinning, though it looked rather menacing
Naruto blinked as he heard Sakura yell and took off upstairs. Toya glanced over. "What was that?"
"My stomach!" Naruto yelled as he ran up and into Sakura's room. "What was that about?" Naruto said as he looked from Sakura, then to Kero. Sakura calmed down from her scare while Kero relaxed having just had his captor jump out her whits. Sakura blinked.
"A plush toy?" Naruto rubbed the side of his head.
"Do you even remember what happen last night? Or was everything to much for you?" Naruto asked as Sakura blinked at the blond as she tried to remember.
"That's right! The guardian of the clow cards!" Sakura stated as she remembered who was in front of her.
"You're finally awake..." Kero sighed out. "I'm Keroberosu, the beast of the seal." Sakura sat back as she remembered the night events.
'That's right...' She gripped her pillow. "Baka!" Sakura yelled throwing the pillow at the blond. Naruto ducked.
"Hey! I thought I was forgiven?" Naruto said as he throws the pillow back. Sakura wasn't awake enough to dodge and fell backwards on the bed. "I'm going to get ready..." Naruto muttered as he left. Sakura groaned from her position as Kero opened the curtains.
"Well, it's a great morning Cardcaptor Sakura!" Sakura pulled the pillow off her head.
"I've been saying. I just can't be the cardcaptor." Kero chuckled as the book floated into the air.
"Humble, so humble..." Kero opened the book up. "See?" He asked. "You got the fly card back, too!" Kero took the card over to Sakura. "See? See?" Sakura looked away.
"Although me and Naruto-kun got in a mess to get it back!" The talk was broken by the call for breakfast. Sakura passed Naruto who left the bathroom and got dressed; she was greeted with the site of Naruto and Toya in the kitchen when she came down.
"Morning Ani-chan." Toya blinked as he looked to Sakura.
"You came down after I called only once!" Toya glanced to the blond. Then out of the window. "Is it going to rain?" Sakura glared as she palmed the table.
"I had someone waking me up today!" Toya glanced over. Sakura blinked at her mistake, crud.
"Oh yeah... What was it? Or did you do something Himawari?" Naruto glared at Toya. "Well...?"
"I left some of my cards out and Sakura happen to see one of my cards up close... My bad Sakura-chan..." Naruto said rubbing the back of his head. Sakura sighed lightly, Naruto really thinks on his feet when need be. Toya seemed to buy it as Sakura glanced over to the picture on the shelf.
"Good morning, Kaa-san." Naruto glanced over as Fujitaka walked in.
"Good morning."
"Morning tou-san." Sakura and Naruto chirped together. He was pretty much a family member to Naruto, so saying tou-san was just showing who much respects Fujitaka.
"Morning." Toya spoke as Fujitaka stood up to the table.
"Mm, it looks delicious as usual today." Toya smirked.
"Well, it's better than the kaijuu's." Sakura glared at Toya for the nickname and stamped on his foot. Naruto forced down not to laugh at Toya's pained face. While Sakura seemed to look just annoyed. Fujitaka blinked as he wondered what happened.
"Well, tou-san, we should eat! Let's eat!" Sakura called as Naruto nods in agreement before he snorted a laugh. It was so damn hard not to after seeing that face. Naruto finished quickly before heading upstairs.
"Damn... I can never understand how those two eat so fast..." Toya said referring to Naruto and his brothers fast eating habits.
"Arigatou, I've had enough!" Sakura called carrying her plates round. Toya blinked, she's getting just as bad.
"You really are in a hurry today." Fujitaka mused also at Sakura's speed today.
"I'm in charge of cleaning the classroom this morning!" Sakura spoke as she walked past the table to the hall. She quickly nabbed two biscuits on the way through.
Sakura entered the room to find Naruto going through his backpack and Kero sitting on the book. "Welcome back!" Kero spoke as Sakura walked over.
"Here's a souvenir." Sakura chirped as she passed Kero the biscuits. Kero cheered as Sakura grabbed her hat and tossed Naruto his. "You ready?" Naruto glanced up.
"Yep! I think I've got it right this time..." Sakura smiled lightly.
"Well, we're gonna go now." Sakura stated to Kero.
"Kids nowadays are so busy..." Kero mused as he ate. Sakura glanced over her shoulder to check nothing was out of place on her clothing as Naruto left the room.
"Both my ani-chan and tou-san will be leaving for school soon, so you can turn on the TV in my room after a while." Sakura called as she grabbed her stuff.
"Your dads still a student?" Sakura sighed as she reached into the draws.
"He's a college professor..." As Kero replied she glanced round to the clock. "It's this late already? Damn it Naruto-kun wait up!" Sakura called as she grabbed her backpack and ran down the stairs. Naruto was already gone as Sakura got out the door. "Bye!" Sakura called as she gave chase. "Naruto-kun!" Naruto glanced over as he took a short cut. "Matte chotto matte!" Sakura yelled following. She glanced right then to Naruto before turning right. Naruto blinked as Sakura didn't follow.
'Where Sakura-chan go?' Naruto pondered as he slowed down.
"Morning Naruto-chan!" Naruto glanced round to see his older adoptive sister.
"Sakura-ane-chan." Naruto spoke as he rolled up. Sakura smiled as she walked. Naruto glanced about. "Where's ani-chan?"
"He's got some things to do... How are you anyway? Enjoy your sleep over?" Naruto nods. Sakura smiled, Sakura Haruno had short pink hair and green eyes and wore a light blue blazer and white skirt. Though not related, she was the closest thing to an older sister Naruto had. "So where's Sakura-chan then?" Sakura asked as they walked. Naruto pointed back to the route Sakura took.
"Sakura went that way... Probably went to see Yukito-san..." Naruto muttered with an annoyed look. Sakura chuckled as she rubbed the blonds head.
"Don't worry... Anyway you best get going hadn't you?" Naruto nods.
"Hai... Later ane-chan!" Naruto called rolling off. Sakura waved.
"Later Naruto-chan!"
Naruto arrived in good time. "Yes, beat her here..." Naruto started as he sat down. He glanced up as the door opened. "Morning Tomoyo-chan." Tomoyo smiled as she walked up.
"Morning Naruto-kun. I have something to show you..." Naruto tilted his head.
Sakura scurried down the hall. 'I wonder if Naruto-kun got here first?'
"Nani!!" Sakura jumped and quickly ran to the class room.
"Naruto-kun?!" She found Naruto with his head hung forward as Tomoyo stood beside him with a video camera on his desk. "Hm?" Naruto glanced over. "Something wrong?"
"Ugh..." Naruto said with a nervous grin. "You better see this..." Sakura blinked and walked over and set her bag down. She leaned over Naruto's shoulder and watched as Tomoyo started the video. Sakura watched as she saw something very familiar flying in the dead of night.
"Is that...?" Sakura asked nervously. Naruto nods slowly as Tomoyo zoomed in. Sakura's eyes widen and yelled in shock that she and Naruto had been caught flying during the night. Kero jumped from Sakura's bag fearing an attack.
"What's wrong, Sakura!?" Kero yelled as Naruto rested his head on the table. "A clow card?" Kero roared glancing about. "Where? I'll take it on! Come on!" Tomoyo glanced from the camera to Kero.
"My, a striking resemblance." Naruto sighed.
'Today could have started better...'

Kero sighed as he sat on the blanket at lunch. Having been crammed up in the bag all that time during lessons. "That was painful..."
"What are you doing here?" Naruto asked as he ate his ramen, which he had boiled and got out back as Sakura and Tomoyo set up.
"Well, I wanted to get a glimpse of how the cardcaptor usually spends her day." Sakura sighed as Tomoyo glanced to her.
"If you don't mind, would you like to introduce us?" Tomoyo asked. Sakura nods before looking at Kero.
"He says his name is Keroberosu..." Tomoyo looked at the happy faced guardian.
"He sure looks different from his name." Sakura nods with a smile.
"He's more of a Kero-chan."
"Really." Tomoyo mused at the cute name. Kero on the other hand...
"Don't call me like I'm some frog!" Kero roared before fisting his chest. "I'm keroberosu, the beast of the seal who guards the clow cards!" Tomoyo looked interested.
"Clow cards..." Naruto sighed as he stood.
"Right..." Kero blinked as Naruto stood.
"Hm? What's up?" Naruto walked over to the side. Sakura watched as Naruto walked off.
"Naruto follows a training set up by his ani-chan. See, both do martial arts and Naruto is joining the junior division. Watch..." Sakura said as Naruto went through warm ups before showing off. Naruto hoped onto his right and kicked with his left before rotating the kick to his right and back to his left. Naruto finished with a double kick in the air before finish. "Sugoi! You've got that really well done." Naruto grinned sheepishly.
"It's hard doing that final jump..."
From there Kero explained the event's up to how Sakura became a cardcaptor. Tomoyo loved the introduction story. "The cardcaptor that protects the city from the catastrophes of the clow cards, sugoi!" Sakura smiled nervously and waved her hand.
"I can't do something that important!" Tomoyo turned round grasping Sakura's hand and surprising the girl.
"No, you can do it, Sakura-chan! If you don't mind, can you show me how you use your magic?"
"Hoe?" Sakura asked surprised.
"Yeah, yeah, show her!" Kero called as both glanced to his yelling.
"B-but..."
"Go on Sakura-chan..." Naruto spoke lying down. "No one's around. Show her." Sakura sighed.
"Okay..."

"Yawn... Man I can't wait to get home... Heh, Ani-chan won't know what hit him!" Naruto stated as he held his fist up. "Prepare yourself." Naruto blinked as he looked to the school. Something felt odd a second ago.
"Later Naruto-kun!" Sakura called. Naruto turned to Sakura and waved before looking at the school. "Guess I'm still getting used to the fact Sakura's got cool powers..." Naruto muttered, why can't he have cool powers as well? Oh well, best head home.
Naruto lived out on the far side of the town, his home up a on a hill away from most of the houses. It had a large open space with tall bushes. Naruto sighed as he got inside. "Hello? Ani-chan? Ane-chan? Ray-san?!" Naruto called as he entered.
"Hey! Gaki!" Naruto glanced up stairs. "Come on up!" Naruto quickly ran up the stairs. Naruto came into the room where his brother was setting up his console. "Up to facing me online?" Naruto smirked. Rematch time on call of duty.
"Prepare to eat bullets!" Naruto roared rushing to his room. "And beat you in a duel too!" Genpaku snorted
"Dream on gaki... Now... Let's play!"
"Hai!"
An hour pasted and the pair were now sitting at a small table. This is how Sakura Haruno found them. "Do you two ever stop playing?"
"Nope." Both replied. Naruto smirked as he set his face down. "Do your worst." Genpaku drew and smirked.
"Okay. I start by playing the swords of revealing light spell card." Naruto grinned.
"Good... You activated my face down... Morphing jar!" Genpaku huffed as he sent his hand to the graveyard.
"Think you've won?" Genpaku asked as Naruto smirked.
"You normally get cocky when you have a good hand. I just finished this duel!" Genpaku grinned.
"Oh really? Then I start with pot of greed. Draw two. Next, heavy storm." Naruto blinked as he found himself alone with one monster. "Now... I summon lord of D. And play flute of summoning dragons."
"No..." Naruto started. He couldn't have.
"Oh yes..."
"No... No..." Naruto stammered shaking his head.
"I summon two blue eyes. Attack!" Naruto stood and tackled Genpaku,
"Cheat!" Sakura sighed rubbing her forehead. "No way could you be that lucky!" Every time...
"I just am! Never question my skills Naruto! I'm that good!" Genpaku said throwing the blond onto the bed. Naruto landed on his knees and glared. "Hey hey... Come on now... Don't use that face. Tell you what, next Sunday; we'll get some cards for you. How about that?" Naruto's face lit up.
"Really?" Genpaku nods. "Yatta!" Sakura sighed. They're as bad as each other.
"Listen you two... I'm on list for dinner tonight." Both looked to Sakura. And their eyes glazed over. "Oh boy..." Sakura muttered palming her face.
"Spaghetti..." Naruto muttered as his eyes widened in delight. Genpaku's eyes followed.
"Apple pie for desert..." Both their mouths opened as saliva dripped. "With whipped cream..."
"Dream on... We're having take-out." The pair's image cracked of their meal and shattered.
"Nani!!!" Both yelled in horror.
"You heard... And I've asked Ray-san to order..." Both looked like they had just heard ramen wasn't real.
"Not him... It's always the same things..." Genpaku muttered.
"Pizza... Every time with him... Pizza..." Naruto muttered. "The horror... The flat cheesy based horror..."
"Oh grow up you two..." Both stopped and stood straight.
"Hai!" Both called with a salute as Sakura left. "Okay next game!" Naruto's voice echoed out.
Night came and Naruto and Genpaku sighed looking at the same old food that Ray got every time... "Pizza..."
"What?" Ray asked. He was a tall well build male in his late 40's. He had black hair that simply rested loosely on his head and had black eyes. He wore a white shirt with a pocket watch in the top shirt pocket and wore black jeans.
"Just that... It's all you eat..." Genpaku sighed. "How you're so athletic is beyond me..." Genpaku stated. Genpaku had bright red hair that rested down the sides of his head loosely unlike Naruto's spiky blond. He also had greenish blue eyes. You really couldn't even tell they were really brothers with their appearances. But they were.
"Well anyway, you guys got anything planned this week?" Ray asked.
"Not really no... I think it will be a quiet week." Genpaku stated as he stretched.
"Not with all that gaming up stairs it won't. I swear it's like walking in on a world war 3."
"Sort of is..." Genpaku muttered.
"Anyway, I won't be seeing you guys much since I've got to do some work on my subjects. So you guy's will be in charge. Meaning you Sakura-chan."
Ray's main area in archaeology was the history of ninja's and Japan itself. He had a room filled with all sorts of cool ninja tools that had been fixed up really well. Hell they even looked brand new the items. It was this that Ray earned their life style from. Since people, no matter who they are. Are sometimes curious and would love to know how ninja actually went about with it back then.
"Arigatou Ray-san." Sakura said with a smile. She was the only person who could keep Naruto and Genpaku in checked... Plus she was hell strong which scared Naruto sometimes... Yet how Genpaku could like Sakura, Naruto wasn't sure sometimes.
Genpaku stretched and walked off. "I'm heading to bed... I'm getting an early start in training. You up for it gaki?" Naruto glared before nodding. "Good... Be up at 5... We start early before you go." Naruto nods and excused himself. Sakura sighed before standing.
"I best go as well... Or those two will hurt themselves if they're not careful." Ray nods.
"Night..." Sakura nods and headed to her room. Ray stood and walked into his study. Which was filled with all sorts of ninja clothing and tools, he glanced over to a picture and smile. He reached under his desk and pulled out a book. "What chapter was I at?" He asked himself as he leaned back.

Day came and Naruto was racing down the streets to school. "Damn ani-chan... He really went all out this time... Guess I shouldn't have been so excited when he said I get a free strike..." Naruto rubbed his shoulder as he rolled up to school. He picked up his board and walked on.
"Morning Naruto-kun!" Naruto glanced over to Sakura as she rolled up. Naruto smiled.
"Morning Sakura-chan." Both stopped as they saw the archway blocked by students. "What's going on?" Naruto asked as they walked up. Three girls from their class glanced to them; these were Rika Saski, who had shoulder length wavy dark brown hair and brown eyes. Naoko Yanagisama, another brown haired girl with straight shoulder length hair with brown eyes and glasses. And finally, Chiharu Mihara 'another' brown haired girl with two long pony tails and brown eyes. (Christ! Couldn't they have done better colour coding with these girl jesus!)
"Sakura-chan!" Chiharu spoke as Rika pulled Sakura forward.
"Come look." Sakura moved forward and gasped at the site. Most of the desks chairs and even gym equipment was stacked up outside in the middle out the play ground nearly three stories high.
"Whoa... What happened?" Naruto asked as he squeezed forward.
"I don't know! It was like this when I arrived this morning." Naruto and Sakura glanced to each other before the five ran to their class room. They found all their chairs and desks in a pile.
"Whoa... This group really went for it... Even I couldn't pull this off so well..." Sakura glanced to Naruto. He means he was planning to do something like this? Naruto sighed as he turned to his classmates.
"Guess we have to clean up..." The students sighed knowing that he was right and got to work. Tomoyo arrived to find all the students at work removing the chairs and desks from the pile.
"Morning Tomoyo-chan..." Sakura spoke in a sad tone. Tomoyo glanced up at the pile as she walked up.
"Good morning. We seem to have a rather large predicament." Tomoyo tapped her chin as she looked on. "Something that can do this..." She leaned over to Sakura. "Perhaps this is a clow cards doing?" Sakura glanced over. That could be it.
XX
Kero sat musing over what he had been given about what had happened at school. "That's done by a clow card, all right!" Kero stated.
"Yeah... That's cool and all... But which?" Naruto asked as he sat on the bed while Sakura and Tomoyo sat on the floor drinking.
"It was such a hassle to straighten things up!" Sakura moaned.
"But as a result we didn't have any classes today!" Tomoyo spoke. Naruto nods. Silver lining.
"I-I was happy about that, but..." Sakura turned to Kero. "But Naruto-kun's right... Which card is it?" Kero mused for a moment.
"Well, I don't know."
"Thank you beast of the seal." Naruto replied sarcastically. Kero glared at the blond.
"In any case Sakura!" Kero spoke flying up to Sakura. "It's time for the Cardcaptor!"
"W-why?" Sakura asked surprised.
"If it's a clow cards doing, you have to capture it!" Kero stated. Sakura smiled in annoyance.
"I've been saying... That's impossible!" Kero floated upwards.
"And who was it that scattered the cards away?" Sakura sighed in defeat.
"I say we go tonight!" Naruto called. "This will be fun I know it!"
"But Naruto-kun... Last time..." Naruto crossed his arms.
"Don't worry about me..." Naruto stated as he picked up his bag. "I'm heading home. I've got something I want to do before I meet you there... Later!" With that Naruto took off.
"Naruto-kun..." Sakura sighed. Sakura blinked. "T-tonight... Naruto!" Sakura yelled out, he knew she hated going to places like that at night.
"Why you so worried... Most clow cards only come out at night..." Kero asked.
"But it is true that the school at night can be a dangerous place." Tomoyo spoke up. Sakura looked to her for her support at not going. "But that's why me and Naruto will be there to help you. I must record Sakura's bravery onto video!"
"W-why?" Sakura asked.
"It's my hobby..." Sakura sighed, guess she had no choice.
"All right!" Kero chirped. "The four of us are gonna attack the school tonight!" Tomoyo smiled.
"If that is the case, there is a bigger need for us to come up with a trademark pose!"
"Yeah! We'll begin training right now!" Sakura groaned. Why Naruto have to leave her alone...
XX
Slowly the sun began to set. And Naruto blinked as he found Sakura and Genpaku at the door. Where you guy's going?"
"To see a movie gaki... A real good horror for sure... Make sure you go to bed on time... Though, we should be before that." Naruto nods.
"Enjoy!" Naruto said with a wave as the door shut. "Good, now to get everything ready..." Naruto blinked as the phone rang.
"Hello? Huh, Tomoyo-chan? R-really? Okay..."
Night fell and Sakura stood nervously outside the school. "I-I'm scared..." Sakura squeaked out. Kero floated beside her looking at the dark building. "Where's Naruto-kun?" Sakura asked herself as she glanced about.
"It's all right, you're fine, I'm here with you!" Kero spoke to calm her. The sound of rumbling and Sakura jumped as Naruto rolled up. Naruto grinned rubbing the back of his head,
"Sorry I'm late..." Naruto said stopping.
"Naruto-kun... Thank god... It's so scary..." Naruto glanced up. He grinned.
"Ani-san says the scariest place normally is the school at night. It has this different feel to it when it's just you or a few standing alone and you hear all kinds of noises..." Naruto glanced to Sakura who stood worrying. "Gomen Sakura-chan." Naruto said as he set his board by the wall. Sakura blinked at Naruto's wrapped up item that rested on his back.
"What you got there?" Naruto glanced over. Sakura noticed it was as long as he was.
"Something for the unexpected." Naruto riddled out.
"Hoe?" Sakura asked before both glanced down the road, a black car pulled up and Tomoyo stepped out.
"Did I keep you waiting?" Both shook their heads. Naruto glanced over to the van and watched as four women in black uniform stepped out.
"Woah... You got bodyguards?" Tomoyo smiled.
"You're very quick to pick that up. Yes, let me introduce you to my family bodyguards." They bowed forward and Naruto and Sakura followed suit.
"Then miss..." One spoke looking to Tomoyo.
"Yes. Please come pick me up when I call you." Tomoyo spoke as the women got in the car and drove off.
"Sweet... You sure are unique Tomoyo-chan..." Naruto stated.
"Sugoi!" Sakura spoke in awe. "There aren't they many grade-schoolers that have bodyguards..." Tomoyo smiled.
"Oh? Grade-schoolers that can use magic are even rarer... And I believe you're more unique Naruto-kun with you requests." Sakura blinked.
"Hoe?" Tomoyo turned to Sakura.
"Anyway." She started as she grabbed Sakura by the hand. "Please come this way!" Sakura stumbled forward as they moved round to the back of the van. Naruto followed and both looked on as the door opened to the vast amount of clothing. Naruto glanced to Tomoyo and she glanced to Naruto. "Round the side." Naruto nods. Sakura glanced round as Naruto walked off with Kero.
"Naruto-kun?" Sakura asked as she was pulled inside.
"Now, you should change!" Sakura blinked as the door shut. Naruto opened the side door and hopped into the small boxed room in the passenger's seat Naruto glanced down to the box and opened it. He grinned.
Half an hour later Tomoyo was filming Sakura's new outfit. It consisted of a black and white gymnastic suit with a red cloak and red bow on the front this was accompanied with a red cap with long blue socks and white and red shoes.
"You look lovely, Sakura-chan!" Sakura blushed in embarrassment.
"Where did Naruto-kun go anyway?" A hand rested on her shoulder. "Naruto-kun!" Sakura turned round and was greeted by a white skull with red paint. "Argh!!!" Sakura screamed. The masked one stumbled back.
"Argh! My ears!" Naruto yelled as he pulled the mask up. Sakura blinked.
"N-naruto-kun!" Sakura blinked stunned as the blond stood in black hakama with a black shikakusho that flared out with ragged ends. "What you wearing?"
Naruto grinned. "I'm wearing a specially made outfit for Ichigo Kurosaki in his bankai state!" Naruto said grinning like a cat. "Thank you Tomoyo-chan!" Naruto said as he hugged the girl. "Ani-san will be so jealous!!!" Tomoyo chuckled.
"I'm so glad you liked it... I was hard paced to get it finished so quickly..." Naruto gave Tomoyo the thumbs up.
"It's awesome! You've got to do more!" Naruto said as he opened up the brown rapped item. Sakura gasped.
"N-Naruto-kun... Is... Is th-that real?" Sakura asked as Naruto held the black sheath.
"Oh it's real alright! Ray-san knows a craftsmen and he made real metal weapons for my anime collection! They're so real it's amazing!" Naruto said. "I really feel the part with this... And the area. I can't for the card to show up!" Sakura sighed. Naruto pulled out the black metal blade and pulled his mask down. He glanced to Sakura who jumped at the sight of the mask. Naruto chuckled.
"Man... You guy's so cool like that..." Kero spoke. Tomoyo glanced to Kero.
"I have something for you as well, Kero-chan." Tomoyo said fitting a bow on with a shiny pendent. "Now you match Sakura's outfit. Very cute." Kero chuckled as Sakura sighed.
"There's no tension in them at all..." A sudden noise and Sakura and Naruto glanced about. Naruto looked left and right.
"See anything?" Sakura shook her head as Tomoyo and Kero looked round. Sakura stepped closer to Naruto as she got scared. "Relax Sakura-chan... I won't let anything happen to you... You've just got to remain calm..." Kero floated forward.
"This is the presence of a clow card..." At that the statue from the front flew through the air from around the corner.
"Oh crud..." Naruto said before the group ran for it. Naruto glanced about as Sakura panicked.
"Calm down." Kero called.
"B-but, but..." Sakura stammered as the statue floated. "It's floating... It's floating!" Naruto grabbed Sakura's hand.
"Tomoyo get out of here... Come on Sakura!" Naruto stated dragging the girl with him. Naruto looked back to see the statue floating their way. He glanced down. "What the?" Naruto stopped and Sakura stumbled forward. "Look!" Naruto said pointing at the second shadow. "There's nothing there but a shadow..."
"Shadow...?" Kero muttered as he realised what they were dealing with.
Naruto stood more forward as Sakura stepped behind the blond. "Kero-chan! Is that a clow card?" Sakura called.
"That's..." Kero stopped as shadows began to appear everywhere and it heaed to Naruto and Sakura. "That's all the doings of the shadow card!"
"Sakura..." Naruto spoke as Sakura stood back and held out her key.
"The key which hides powers of the dark! Show your true form before me! I, Sakura, command you under our contract! Release!" Naruto squinted his eyes as energy whipped up. Sakura threw a card down to her left as shadow formed over them like a mass of water. "Wind, become a binding chain! Windy!" The card burst to life as white strands of wind shot out and cut through the masses of black. But though it cut through the shadow, parts left in the air shot forward.
Naruto swung with his right and moved round Sakura as he knocked away the black masses. "All those kendo lessons were a good thing after all." Naruto said as he swung again. Sakura looked back and turned with a swing of her staff to hit an attack that came from behind.
"Use the fly card, and get out of there!" Kero yelled with Tomoyo from a safe distance away.
"Fly!" Naruto grasped onto the front of the staff as Sakura took to the air. Both looked on at the black mass as it moved round.
"It's like fighting water... It just breaks up..." Naruto stated. "Sakura... Get me close to the ground... And try coming up with a plan..." Sakura glanced to Naruto. "I'll do what I do best." Sakura nods slowly.
"Okay..." With that Sakura dived down and Naruto let go and skidded to a stop.
"Oi shadow!" Naruto yelled as he pulled up his mask. He pulled down his right lower eye lid and stuck his tongue out. "Can't catch me!"
"Baka!" Sakura called as shadow raced at the blond. Naruto grinned and took off. "What's this going to do?"
Naruto didn't say anything as he ran. 'I know one thing I'm good at. And that's to run like hell!' Naruto glanced back and skidded side on to his right before running off. Shadow bounced and swirled after him like water in a tunnel.
Sakura was so worried about Naruto she didn't know what was happening till the window shattered and desks began to fly from the window. "Agh!" Naruto looked up and glanced back to the shadow.
"Come on Sakura! Hurry up!" Naruto yelled only to be tripped up by shadow. "Argh!" Naruto's sword bounced out his hand as he fell. "Damn it..." Naruto muttered as he pulled up his mask. His face red from the slam to the hard plastic.
"Naruto! Watch out!" Naruto glanced back and saw the mass of shadow ready to crash down on him.
"Got to go, got to go!" Naruto yelled taking off in a skidded start, but he escape barely. Sakura sighed as she flew Naruto's way.
"This is why I say it's impossible!" Sakura yelled to Naruto. "What are we supposed to do?" Sakura gasped as her staff was tugged back. "W-wait, let go of me!" Naruto looked to Sakura.
'Crud...' Naruto looked to his blade. 'Hang on!' Naruto sprinted under the mass of shadow and grasped his blade. "Oi shadow!" Naruto roared as he jumped over the large mass. "Let go of Sakura!" Naruto yelled swinging. A large mass his Naruto and sent him flying as Sakura broke free.
"Naruto!" Sakura yelled as Naruto landed flat on his back. His mask broken from the impact and his blade sliding off to the side. "Naruto!" Sakura called again as shadow formed round and dipped up. "Naruto!!" Naruto looked up and covered his face.
Lights flickered to life all round the building and the mass of black vanished. "Huh?" Naruto muttered. He slowly sat up and glanced round. "Where shadow go?" Naruto asked as he stood. Sakura was asking the same question.
"Sakura!!" Kero yelled as he and Tomoyo stood by a window in the school. Sakura flew over to the window.
"Shadow's disappeared." Kero nods.
"Everything but the main body disappears when you shine light on it." Kero replied.
"It's impossible to make the sun rise, but even I can turn on the lights!" Tomoyo called out.
"Arigatou Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura called, she blinked as she heard Naruto yell. She looked to Naruto attacking a cloaked figure.
"Sakura! That's shadow!"
"Argh!" Naruto yelled as he swung down and shadow moved to the right and moved back as Naruto swung left and then stabbed forward. Shadow floated back away from the blade. Sakura rushed down as shadow lashed out and Naruto leaned to the left and cut the strands apart. Shadow withdrew and turned to run as Sakura landed behind it. It drew its arm back. "Hya!" Naruto yelled as he slashed clean through the arm. "Now Sakura!" Naruto yelled as he landed beside her and turned round.
Sakura threw her card forward. "Wind, become a binding chain!" Sakura yelled drawing her staff above her. "Windy!" Sakura yelled as white strand shot forward and wrapped round shadow. "Return to the guise that you were meant to be in!" Sakura yelled as she held her staff up once move. "Clow card!" Shadows form broke apart and shot into the staffs tip and formed the card. As all calmed, the card hit the floor.
"Alright!" Naruto chirped as he held his blade up.
"She did it!" Kero cheered from the window. "Nothing less from Cardcaptor Sakura!" Tomoyo nods as she put down her camera.
"This is splendid!"
Sakura smiled as she looked at her card and then to Naruto."Arigatou Naruto-kun for helping me." Naruto scratched his head.
"It was nothing really... All I did was play decoy." Sakura shook her head.
"You helped me back there when shadow had hold of me..." Naruto blinked, he was sure he missed the mass by a bit. He grinned, he's better than he thought!

The next morning came and Naruto and Sakura were walking down the corridor. "Ani-chan flipped with what happened to my mask... Sigh... No more Ichigo for a while... Shame, that outfit was really cool... Though... Least ani-chan was jealous of how good it looked." Sakura sighed, and glanced over to her left to see Chiharu walking their way.
"Chiharu-chan, did you see Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura asked. Chiharu glanced down the hall.
"I saw her go into the audio/visual room."
"Arigatou." Sakura called as they walked to the room. Sakura smiled as she looked at the small gift she had for Tomoyo as a thanks for helping. "Tomoyo-chan." Sakura called as she opened the door. "Arigatou for everything last night, I brought this as a...." Both Naruto and Sakura blinked as they saw Sakura fly on her staff on the large screen. Tomoyo sat enjoying her video.
"I'm glad that this film came out so well..." Naruto and Sakura sweat dropped at that fact she recorded most of the events.
"You were even filming that?" Sakura asked stunned as she walked over. Naruto sat down enjoyed watching his action on the big screen.
"Of course." Tomoyo replied with a smile. "I cannot miss even on second of your bravery, Sakura-chan!" Naruto cheered as he watched himself take on shadow. Least he got to see how good he was. "From now on, please call me any time you two are going to go capture cards!" Naruto smirked as he watched his fight. He blanked out everything as he stared. Shame he didn't get to see if he hit shadow or not. It would have answered his question if he cut loose Sakura. But the ending made him grin when Tomoyo had come back downstairs at the end of the fight. The final clip with Naruto and Sakura's head together in the final part of the video. Naruto's cracked mask on the side of his forehead as he grinned give a peace sign with his blade gripped downward. And Sakura winking as she held her card up. Perfect finish to any fight. Naruto glanced to Tomoyo.
"You've got to do me more outfits as well!!" Naruto called. Sakura sighed, what with was with the costumes? "Since my Ichigo one isn't complete anymore.
"Of course... And I'll put more work into the next one for you. It's quiet fun really." Tomoyo said with a smile. Naruto grinned.
"Yatta!"

And so we end the second chapter. Damn, to longer than expected. Oh well, I hope you liked this version with English set up. Which did you like?
I had originally planed for Naruto to wear Goku's outfit first... But then this idea popped by weeks ago and I thought, Okay! Plus it sort of sets the mood this chapter with shadow and Naruto's ichigo cosplay.
Now I bet you wonder. Why give Naruto a real sword? All will be answered when the time comes... Unless, you can guess correctly of course.
I hope you also liked some showing of Naruto's family background. Oh! And thanks to windscar for letting me know the age point of Toya sort of. This helps me since he, Sakura and Genpaku have to be the same age... Not saying why, it's important later on. And windscar was the one who pointed out that I should use normal English but proper incantations... So I've basicly copied the words from the dub...
Now, since this will most likely be my first and only aimed ccs fic... For now. I will more than likely follow dub words... Since unlike Naruto... I haven't done enough fic to really go unique... yet.
Also, leaprechaun made a good point. Unlike some of the other fics... I've gone for more original setting's on Naruto. Which all has things connected in the distant future, since this fic will be even longer that path series! o/_\o.... crud... I wish I hadn't just realised that... sigh... -/_\-;
Oh well, it all forms into place more or less as time goes by... After all... I never plan how it all goes... I see how it comes up in the future... Hehe, as long as I can see the goal... I'll be determined to finish the fic!
I hope you've enjoyed shadow chapter and also if people want Naruto in other outfits from anime outside the ones I like... Please note that unless Tomoyo is there... He will be wearing the clothing. So pick your choice and pick your card. Later!
