Hello fellow reader, and welcome my first ever posted anime self insert fanfic story. So anyway, I think it's finally time for me to start reuploading the chapters.

Now, on with the first chapter of this very awesome and unique anime self insert story.

Chapter 1 - And So It Begins

It was just another gloomy day for me in New York City as I lay quietly in my bed. I was just about to close my eyes, when a shooting star shot across the sky, "I guess I should make a wish" I thought to myself. I then closed my eyes tight and said, "I wish I was the brother of Sakura Avalon and was granted the same powers as her when we found the clow book together." I said with a whisper. And a few seconds later, I fell asleep. not knowing that what I had just done would have serious implications later on.

When I woke up, I found myself in a very unfamiliar room, but for some reason, it looked very familiar to me. "W-where am I?" I said/asked to no one in particular as I sat up in the bed that I was sleeping in. It was then that I looked down at my hands and realized that they looked smaller and younger then when I had gone to bed. It also then occurred to me that I also felt much younger than I did from when I had gone to bed. What happened next was a complete shock to me, the alarm clock that rested in between the bed I was in and the one next to me went off, and an girl with short auburn hair and emerald colored eyes sprang up from under the covers. "Were going to be late!" the girl said. It was when I turned my attention to the girl that I recognized her immediately, and a look of complete shock and disbelief found its way on to my face. "W-Wait a second, you're...you're!?" I said in a shocked tone of voice.

I couldn't believe it, Sakura Avalon, future master of the Clow Cards, was in the bed next to me, and to top it all off she was now my sister?! That would explain why I currently felt younger than I was when I had gone to bed after I had wished upon that star, it must've also reverted me back to being 10 years old as well. It was at this point that Sakura turned her attention to me "We are going to be late for school if we don't get going soon" Sakura said as she quickly got out of bed and then proceeded to get changed into her school uniform, unaware of what I had said. It was then I figured that rather than dwell on how or why things had happened the they had, that for now I would go along with it for the time being and see where it took me.

And with that, Sakura got dressed into her school uniform, followed soon thereafter by me. And once that had been done, we both headed downstairs for breakfast. "Morning" Sakura said. "Sakura, Zachary, could you too be any louder?" Tori asked in a sarcastic tone. "We weren't that loud" I said in response to Tori. "You two sounded like small dinosaurs up there" Tori teased. "We were walking normally!" Sakura said in response. "Hey, I'm lucky, how many brothers get two dinosaurs for a little brother and sister." Tori said. "STOP CALLING US DINOSAURS!" Sakura and I said/yelled in unison.

After Sakura and I had our breakfast and Tori left, we both strapped on our skates, put on our protective padding, and after I helped Sakura up, we made our way down the street to meet up with Tori and Julian. "Hey Sakura, hey Zachary" Julian said, as Sakura and I caught up with him and Tori, and after about minute of Julian, Sakura and I talking to one another, both Sakura and I said our goodbyes and continued down the street towards the school.

After the school day ended, me and Sakura then headed back to our home. But, when we got home, we began to hear strange noises that seemed to be coming from the basement. "Sakura, did you hear that?" I asked with a frightened tone in my voice. "uh huh" Sakura said in a very frightened tone of voice as well. "How about we both check it out together?" I asked while turning to Sakura. "And if it's a burglar, then we'll call the police" Sakura said in response.

A few seconds later, me and Sakura were down in the basement. Both of us had our batons clenched in our hands, and, it wasn't long until we came upon a row of bookshelves in the back.

It was then that both of us jumped out hoping to see someone, but there was no one there. But, as Sakura and I stayed close to one another while looking around, we heard a strange noise. Both of us then turned around and noticed that one of the books on the shelf was glowing. Without hesitating even once, both Sakura and I reached for the glowing book and, with my hand slightly below hers on the spine of the book, we both pulled it off the shelf.

It was when we both held the book in front of us that both Sakura and I dropped our batons and gazed at the book, the book was red and had what looked like a lion type creature on the front cover, chains were on either side of it, and a sun was in front. "That's the same book from my dream" Sakura said to herself. It was only then that I started to feel nervous, and yet for some reason, i chose to ignore that nervous feeling.

It was then that as if by magic, the catch on the book came undone by itself. Sakura and I jumped back thinking that something scary would jump out and attack us. But, when nothing did, both of us slowly opened the cover of the book. Inside the weird book was a stack of cards, both Sakura and I picked up the top one, with each of our index fingers and thumb each holding a bottom corner of the card, the cards' name was in English. "The Windy" Sakura and I both said in a low tone of voice in unison.

It was then that the card began to glow bright blue. About a second after, a tornado surrounded me and Sakura. Both of us closed our eyes, so both of us ended up missing the glowing circle on the floor under the both of us, which was identical to the one on the back of the cards. The rest of the deck ended up getting blown away by the wind and headed towards the ceiling. But, the cards didn't stop at the ceiling, they were carried off to who-knows-where.

When the wind finally stopped, both Sakura and I dropped the strange book and sank to the floor. "What is this?" I asked while looking at the card. A moment later both Sakura and I were staring at a tiny, winged, teddy bear who was rising from the glowing book.
"Heydy-howdy-hoedy!" It said, while hovering in midair and smiling, "Well, I'm surprised that you two were able to wake me up!"
"An Osaka accent…?" I asked.
Well, this book was in Osaka for so long, I've caught the…" The teddy bear yelped and complained as Sakura and I tried to figure out how he worked, including where the batteries went, finally pulling himself free. "I'm no toy!" It shouted at me and Sakura, "I'm Keroberos, the Beat of the Seal who guards this book!"
"Seal…? Keroberos…?" Sakura asked as the bear walked forward to look at both of us.
"Yeah. Looking out for the cards in this book so that they don't do anything bad is my…" There was a pause while the fact that the cards were gone sank into the bear's head, and then, "The cards are gone! Why? Why? Where did they go?!"

A little later, Kero was up in our room hovering over the Book of Clow when Sakura and I got back up to our room after we quickly ate dinner. We were carrying a desert for the guardian of the cards. "Anything?" I asked.

"No good." He answered, sounding depressed and landing, "I can't tell where the cards are at all."
"Here." Sakura said, putting the cake in front of him with a tea spoon. Sakura then leaned against her desk chair while I sat down next to Kero.

"It looks delicious." Kero's face lit up as he gazed at it. Then it sank again, "There were Clow Cards in this book." Kero said.
"Clow Cards?" I asked.
"Clow Cards… when the seal on them is broken, a catastrophe will be fall this world… those cards were special cards made by an amazing sorcerer named Clow Reed. Each card is alive and possesses incredible powers, but they all like acting on their own and normal forces are no match for them. So, Clow Reed himself created this book and placed me, the Beast of the Seal on the book's front cover." Kero sighed, "In any case, we have to get those cards back and I can't sense where they are because of the strong magic in the area, so you two are coming with me."

"Why us?" Sakura asked, "Wouldn't one of those powerful mages in the area be better?"
"Because you two are the ones that scattered the cards with the Windy spell, and I don't know if I could trust anyone with the sort of magic I sense."
"B-but wasn't it your job to keep those cards properly sealed away in the first place?" I asked.
"Well…" Now Kero was embarrassed, "I accidentally fell asleep."
"For how long?" Sakura asked.
"About thirty years." Kero said.
"And you call yourself the Beast of the Seal?" I asked.
"Stuff happens! All right!" Kero said in response.
"So those noises were just snores?!" Sakura said as we both looked him with a hint of frustration.
"In any case, the fact that you both could open this book means that both of you have some magical powers at least, and that puts you both in first place, above anyone else with magic in the area. So, what are your names anyway?"

"I'm Zachary, and this is my sister Sakura" I said.
"Alright Sakura and Zachary, stand right over there." Kero said, pointing to the side of our respective beds.

Sakura and I then got up, and stood by our beds, which seemed to vanish as the magic circle from before formed on the floor under both of us. "Keys of the Seal." Kero intoned. Two small balls of light rose from the keyhole of the book and hovered in front of me and Sakura. "These two kids will carry out the sacred promise, there names are Sakura and Zachary. I command you to bestow them with you magical powers, RELEASE THE POWER!

It was then that both of the two light balls expanded, as did the keys, each forming a baton like staff, one colored blue, the other colored pink. I caught the blue colored one, while Sakura caught the pink colored one when we were told by Kero to grab them. "All right! I, Keroberos, hereby declare Sakura and Zachary, CardCaptors!" Kero said. As the circle faded and the room returned to normal, both Sakura and I examined our staffs and turned to Kero, expecting him to say something.

But instead, he was stuffing his face full of pudding.
