Disclaimer: I don't own Card Captor Sakura, Clow does. But I do own my original characters and I think y'all can guess which ones those are.
Meet Katsu Takahashi
"Katsu! Get your butt out of bed and wake up!" a voice shouted. My older sister, Fumiko, (A/N: for those who like to visualize the characters, Fumiko has long, wavy amber brown hair and sky blue eyes) stomped into the room and yanked the covers off my bed. I sat up and glared at her while she was busy opening the curtains.
"Fureaking monster lady," I muttered under my breath, pushing myself off the bed and towards the bathroom. I felt a shoe hit me on the head and turned to see Fumiko fuming. She stomped towards me and I half-heartedly attempted to flee. She grabbed my shirt and yanked me backwards.
"What was that little brother?" she whispered in my ear too sweetly. I froze, knowing that I was in deep shit. I opened my mouth to say some insult when my mom called from downstairs.
"Fumiko! I need you to wake up your father as well!" she called in a tone that said she was expected to be obeyed. Fumiko sighed and giving one more murderous look at me, walked out the door. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and walked into my bathroom. My parents were the owners of a chain of famous cafés so we were a wealthy family. We lived in a house that was half the size of an ordinary mansion.
'Can you really call this a house?' I took a quick shower and put on my school uniform. It was a short sleeve button up with black slacks. A red tie completed the outfit.
"Breakfast is ready!" Fumiko screamed. She isn't capable of softly calling like my mother or not even at least shout. She has to scream. I rolled my eyes and grabbed my book bag. I frowned when I opened the door to see Fumiko trying to lay a trap so when I opened the door I would get soaked and be late for school. I smirked and walked up to the ladder she was using then used my leg to tip it over, causing Fumiko to cry out in fright. After a little bit of teetering it fell to the ground, taking Fumiko with it. The bucket of water that was in her hands was now on top of her head, completely soaking her. She yanked the bucket off and threw me a murderous glare. If looks could kill….
"Katsu you little devil… COME BACK HERE!" she screeched, jumping off the ground and running where I was. I snickered and ran downstairs towards the kitchen where I knew my mom would protect me.
"MOM! FUMIKO IS TRYING TO MURDER ME!" I shouted, laying on the babyish voice just right. My mom turned to see me running away from Fumiko and sighed. She had light blond hair and blond eyes with a very nice figure for a 46 year old woman. She grabbed our collars when we ran past and held on fast.
"Kids, there will be no pranking, no running, no fighting, and absolutely no conflict between siblings in this house understand?" she whispered into our ears. I shuddered and nodded and watched as Fumiko reluctantly did the same. I almost smirked before Mom put her face directly in front of mine. "Understand?" I nodded a second time. She sighed and her expression changed from scolding to excited. "My baby is finally going to be in High school!" she squealed happily. I sighed and grabbed a piece of toast. Yup, that's right. From this day forward I, Katsu Takahashi, will be a first year in high school. Whoopee. Cue the confetti and trumpets. That would explain why my mom is so hyper. I sat down and chewed on my toast. She walked up to me and heaped my plate with bacon, eggs, and waffles. My sister sweat dropped.
"You have a monster appetite," Fumiko commented, watching me dig in.
"Ifs ah gwift," I said with my mouth full. I flashed a grin, showing off my pearly whites. She shook her head in disgust and took a long gulp from her cup of coffee. Then she got up, gave Mom a quick kiss on the cheek, and then ran out the door. "Good riddance," I muttered. I shoved the rest of my food in my mouth and took my dishes to the sink. "Ja nei Okaa-san," I said to my mom.
"Sayonara Katsu!" she called back. I slipped on my shoes and walked out the door. I spied my dad watering the flowers out in the front yard. With amber brown hair and gold eyes, he was once a much desired bachelor. Of course then he met my mother.
"Ohayogozaimazu Otou-san!" I shouted. He raised his hand in greeting. I slung my arm over my shoulder and headed toward Seijou High School. When I arrived at the school gate, my best friend Mitsuo greeted me.
"Ohayo Katsu," he said, dusting off his clothes for no reason. His full name is Watanabe Mitsuo and he is a smart jock. He is on the basketball team with me and has an A+ honor roll. With his messy red hair and eyes, he was, as the girls say, one of the hottest guys in school. At least half the school's girl population has had a crush on him at one point. I gave him a fist bump and we walked to the shoe lockers. When I opened mine, dozens of love letters poured out. Other guys watched in jealousy as I picked them up off the floor and sifted through them.
"Nice man! You got one from Ashlyn!" catcalled Yamada, another classmate of mine. He's sort of a friend but he is an obvious liar. (A/N: Remind you of someone? BTW: they look the same too) Ashlyn is the transfer student from the U.S.A. She moved here 4 years ago and has only eyes for me since. I gave out a huge sigh and tossed it to some random guy.
"It's for you," I called out. He looked down and started whispering excitedly to his friends. Mitsuo and Yamada looked at me disappointedly. I shrugged and changed my shoes quickly. We ran through the door of the classroom right before the bell and slid into our seats. I yawned as the teacher did roll call. Small songs birds were flying around the trees that surrounded the school perimeter.
'Same old freaking schedule' I thought, bored out of my mind. I will be blunt. My life is boring. Same thing every day. Wake up, go to school, go back home, eat, sleep. And it repeats itself all over again. Really, I wish something exciting would happen in my life.
Little did I know what I really said.
