Enjoy!
There was no light. No sound, not even a whisper. Sakura Kinomoto shivered in this dark void even though she was not cold. Where was she? Was she having another prophetic dream? But, something was off. Whenever Sakura dreamed, the brunette would always be in front of a red tower. But the tower was nowhere in sight. Suddenly, the void brighten and turned white. Instantly, Sakura began seeing images. As each image passed by her, Sakura's eyes began to fill with fear. First, she saw a woman with an insane expression smiling at her. Then, a red-eyed man was smirking as he created giant spears of ice. A man with purple hair tied in a ponytail was screaming her name. A young boy with blue hair tied in a braid struggled against a misshapen black creature. Finally, a crowd of people with strange outfits floating in the air and fighting black colored misshaped beings as a dark blob-like creature descended from the sky, moaning and whispering incoherent words. Unable to bear the images anymore, Sakura screamed and fell to the ground.
"N-No! Stop, stop this!" She cried out.
"Sakura," a voice echoed, "Sakura. SAKURA!" Sakura opened her eyes and screamed, flailing around.
"WHOA!" the voiced yelled. "Sakura, calm down!" Immediately, the brunette stopped moving around. Taking deep breaths to calm herself, Sakura turned her head towards the voice. It was Kero, her faithful friend and guardian of the Sakura cards. His true name was Cerberus, but the little creature didn't mind being called Kero. He was on the ground, groaning.
"Yo Sakura?" he moaned as he stood up, "Can you try not to flatten and kill me when you wake up?" Sakura looked around. She was in her room, in her own bed. The soft morning light shined through the windows, but the girl paid no attention to it. Sakura began to wipe the beads of sweat on her forehead that had formed during her nightmare.
"K-Kero?" Sakura stuttered. Kero looked at Sakura and suddenly creased his eyebrows together.
"What's wrong Sakura? You look like you've seen a ghost." Sakura opened her mouth to reply when her head began to ache in pain and clutched it in response. Images began to flow into her mind, but they were different then when she was asleep. Sakura now saw red flames that ate up the decimated buildings, and corpses laid on the cold ground. Everywhere that she saw there was battles, with humans and creatures. Through the warfare, Sakura noticed three people up high in the sky. They were so far away that Sakura could only make out small details of them. One was a man who had a gold crown with elaborate design sewed onto a turban. Next to him was one of the women who had a wand a star gleaming at the top. They stood in front of the other woman who also had a gold crown shaped in a circle sewed into a turban and had a golden wand that looked like a claw with a jewel in the center. As they fought, they appeared to be yelling things to each other, but the brunette couldn't make out anything they said. The images soon faded and Sakura found herself in her room again. The throbbing pain from earlier had also disappeared, leaving Sakura shaken from the event. So distraught, the brunette only vaguely noticed that she was on the floor instead of her bed.
"Sakura! What happened?!" Kero questioned. "Someone could have heard you know!" Although that may have been true, it was dead silent in the house and Sakura was thankful for that. Sakura's father, Fujitaka Kinomoto, was a college professor of archeology and was currently away for a business trip. Her older brother, Toya, and his best friend Yukito were also away for a class field trip for a week. Sakura's father, and eventually Toya, after hours of arguing, agreed to let Sakura stay at home. Kero sighed.
"Alright Sakura." Kero said, "What did you see?" Sakura, as the mistress of the Sakura cards, formerly known as the Clow cards, sometimes had dreams of future of events, like the time she saw the appearance of Syaoran Li, one of her dear friend. Sakura had no doubt that the images she saw were part of her prophetic powers, but it still unnerved her. Instead of answering right away, Sakura began to play with her honey brown hair, twirling it around her finger. Kero waited patiently for Sakura while she did that. Finally, after what seemed like ages, Sakura looked at Kero with her emerald-colored eyes.
"I'm scared Kero." she began, "I don't know what I saw. I saw these horrifying visions. Even when you woke me up I had more of these images, and I can't explain what I just saw. The worst part is, it seemed almost familiar to me and I don't know why." Sakura fell silent after that. Kero, the winged toy-shaped guardian, pondered quietly. After a couple of minutes, he began to murmur.
"This obviously means something." Kero murmured and floated in front of Sakura's face. "I think…" Kero began, "that we should tell the others. Although we can't call Yue as he's at the trip, Tomoyo and Syaoran are still around. Call them and tell them to meet at Tomoyo's house. Sakura, get dressed. The others should know." Sakura nodded and quickly stood up to prepare.
After a few minutes…
The day could have been like any other day. The sun was shining brightly on the city of Tomoeda, the wind blowing gently. It was spring, specifically the week of Spring Break which explained why there was barely any people on the road. The trees were adorned with soft pink blossoms, each petal falling slowly to the ground. Suddenly, Sakura's roller skates rolled across the ground, and the petals were pushed apart by the wheels. The breeze gently caressed and kissed her face, but Sakura paid no attention, not even to the cherry blossoms on the trees- her namesake flower. Panting, Sakura turned sharply at the corner of the street, making her skirt fly up slightly. Sakura was in such a hurry to leave, she decided simply to wear her school uniform- a white skirt and black top decorated with a white v-shaped cloth down her back. The small pink pouch she had around waist was bouncing around and small sounds of pain could be heard. She continued the path to her best friend's, Tomoyo Daidouji, house. As she hurried, the images began to leak back into her mind, but Sakura quickly shook them out.
After what seemed like ages, Sakura skid to a stop in front of a pristine two-story house. A fountain sprouting water stood in front of the entrance which had an arch of flowers. There were hedges and bushes around the house. More plants could be visibly seen on the house. Though it was white, the house had a blue tinge to it. Sakura quickly skated towards the entrance. When she went inside, she saw Tomoyo and Syaoran sitting on the sofa with worried expressions on their faces. Tomoyo wore a stylish light-blue dress that complimented her eyes. Her hair, wavy and black, was let down. Syaoran, with brown hair, wore traditional Chinese clothing- a green Chinese Tunic suit completed with traditional black Chinese slippers. When they noticed Sakura, the two immediately got up and ran to her.
"What happened?" Syaoran questioned when he got to Sakura, "Why did you call us here?" Tomoyo looked at Sakura and wrapped her arms around her, giving Sakura a comforting hug. Just as she went reply, a muffled sound of protest could be heard.
"Oops!" Sakura remarked, "I forgot Kero was in here!" Quickly she unzipped her bag and Kero stumbled out, falling face-down on the floor. Sakura winced.
"I'm so sorry Kero!" She apologized. Sighing, Kero got up and began to hover..
"It's fine Sakura." He said, "You had a lot on your mind."
"Oi! Why did you make Sakura call us here?" Syaoran questioned the guardian. Kero glared at him and was about to say a snarky remark, but magical creature saw the look on Sakura's face and decided this wasn't the right time. Using his magic, Kero flew onto the mahogany table nearby.
"Sakura's really shaken up, and so I'll tell what's going." Kero began. "As you know, Sakura is a magician and controls the Clow Cards, now known as the Sakura Cards." Tomoyo and Syaoran nodded. Kero narrowed his eyes.
"Well, Sakura just had some strange dreams. She claimed she saw something bad in her dreams. Sakura, if you can." Kero said. Syaoran quietly went over to Sakura and took her hand, giving her a comforting squeeze. Sakura gave him a thankful smile. Sakura retold her visions to everyone, including the battle she saw of the three people. After the story was done, Syaoran then turned his attention back to Kero.
"What does this mean?" Syaoran asked, "Do you mean…" Suddenly, Sakura felt a splitting headache. As she clutched at her head, she saw that the Sakura Cards began to glow from the pouch Kero was recently in.
"Sakura!" Tomoyo began, "What's…"
Before she could finish, Kero yelled out, "Watch out!" The ground beneath the friends opened and the hole sucked the group into the dark abyss. Then it closed, leaving behind only a single cherry blossom flower.
As the dark void covered Sakura, she screamed. Where had her friends? What was going on? Suddenly, she heard a voice-no voices.
"The time has come." The mysterious voices whispered at the same time. "Awaken to our destiny and stop the worlds from returning to Nothing. Prevent that organization's plot and save the land governed by our will." Sakura was confused.
"What do they mean?" Sakura questioned. "Save the land governed by...our will?" However, she did not think of it anymore as she began to fall unconscious. The last thing that the brunette thought were that the voices sounded familiar to her.
"Stop those that threaten our beloved worlds. Or all that we love shall be consumed by HIM..."
"Nee-chan...Nee-chan, wake up!" A voice called out. Immediately, Sakura opened her eyes, and was introduced to the sun's rays which momentarily blinded her. Narrowing her eyes, Sakura looked around saw that nothing but sand.
"I'm...in a desert?" Sakura thought with confusion. Then she noticed that none of her friends were here either. Panic began to well up inside her when she heard the voice again.
"Nee-chan…" The voice said again. Forcing herself to calm down. Sakura turned to where the voice was. She saw a young boy, about twelve or so, staring at her. The boy had innocent-looking sky-blue eyes that match his blue colored hair tied in a braid. He seemed happy that brunette noticed him.
"Who are you?" Sakura asked. The young boy smiled brightly at her.
"It's Aladdin, Sakura Nee-chan." The boy answered. Sakura nodded before she realized that he knew her name.
"How did you know my name?" She asked cautiously. Aladdin kept his smile as he answered her question.
"Why, Ugo told me! He said you'd come!" The boy replied. Sakura wondered who this "Ugo" was.
Hey Guys! So I know I posted the first chapter a couple of days ago, but it felt really short to me. So I decided to add a new one! I was having some problems with the document manager so if you saw the same chapter uploaded again, that was me dealing with the document.
Spoilers!
If you read it, you may be wondering why Sakura said Syaoran was a "dear friend". Since I am doing eventual pairings, I'm probably going to put a poll up to decide the pairings. So for now, Sakura and Syaoran are NOT an item yet. If you're confused, please send a review or PM.
R&R Please!
