The Survival: Chapter 1

I walked down the stairs as usual, and sat down for breakfast. I had long since gotten over my screaming ohayo to everyone. I'm more calm natured now, and my magical arua shows it. I'm guessing by now you know me as KInomoto, Sakura. You guessed Right. Right now you're probably like "She has magic?! No way!" Well, guess what, I do. Magical cards to be exact, and no they are NOT tarrot cards, even if they can be used as such. I collected these cards of minesix years ago, and finished changing or reverting them four years ago. All by myself, you ask? The first and last one, yes, Every one in between? Nope, not that talented. To current knowledge, there are fifty two clow cards originally collectedn by me, Sakura. However, there was a fifty third card, Though, while I collected its physical form I created it's card half all on my own. This card used to be called void, now called hope, and its card was mad the day I realized my feelings for a cirtain amber eyed boy.
Syaoran... Oh how I missed him. He left shortly after the 52nd card, thinking that the journey here was through. He was here since the nineth or tenth card I'd ever captured. He stayed with me through it all. I wonder what he's doing now. Is he thinking of me at all? Anyway, I left my house and wandered toward the school. Seiyuu High School was filled with people of all kinds, including my best friend ever, Tomoyo Daidouji. She was there for my adventure, too. "Sakura-chan!" I heard the melodic voice call out to me, beckoning me to take another step towardsn her lovely figure. I couldn't believe how much she's changed her figure over the year. Why does SHE get to be so pretty?! I pouted.
"Ohayo, Tomoyo-chan! How was your summer?" Yes, you heard right; today was the first day of school-our freshman year in fact. I moved my long auburn bangs away from my emerald green eyes, tucking some of them behind my left ear. My hair went down to my shoulders now; I felt more feminine this way.
"It was great! Although I do have one regret." Her face downcast, her hair covered her eyes. "Nani yo?" "Because I was in Paris (France) all summer with Okaa-san, I had no time to make my amazing and ultra kawaii bestfriend Sakura-chan any outfits; nor did I get to film her!" "Tomoyo-chan.." A sweatdrop-mine of course- fell.
"Demo demo demo! It's okay because I have so many ideas and so many outfits to make this year that can make up for it, and I can already imagine what Li-kun would say seeing you in all of my wonderful creations!" Another sweatdrop.
"Yes, but Syaoran-kun is in Hong Kong. So he can't see me in them."
"Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!"
"Ho..eh..?" I blinked confusingly. She shook her head and took my hand, walking with me to our newest school.

"Is this all of the paper work?"
"Hai, that should be all. Check with the principle. If that's all, he'll just sen you to your classroom."
"... Perfect. Arigatou." The boy grinned and stood, exiting the room slowly. Oh he could tell someone was going to be surprised.

Once again I sighed. Sitting in these uncomfortable chairs was getting on my mood- my bad mood. The teacher walked in with his usual kind smile, and looked to us once he got to his podeom. His grin only grin.
"Ohayo, minna. I hope you all did your summer homework."
"Hai!" His gaze softened. "Today, we have a new student who'll be studying with us from this trimester." He looked to the door. "Please come in."
It took a moment, but the teacher turned and wrote the name of the boy on the board. Li Syaoran.

I gasped before I finally turned to look at him, how he's changed. It happened. He's back. I could only smile.

Author's note: I know, a lot of japanese, and still very short. You'll have to forgive my ignorance, the chapters look so much longer in a normal sized compisition book one usually buys for school. Other than that, what do you think? I know it seems weird. Where are the zombies? What's going on? Why so boring?" Well, please think of this as an intro to this trilogy. This story will probably be the longest story I'll ever write, just pointing it out. It's going to take a while, but please bare with me to the end of this. I promise I'll do my best not to disapoint. The next chapter should be published in a couple of days. Please bare in mind it takes time to write these types of things. I've already started writing it, and from thhe looks of things, this size chapter is four pages in my composition, so I'll probably do eight pages for a substancial chapter. Not sure if chapter 2 will be that long, but I'll do my best! At the end of every chapter there should be some way of you being able to read those japanese words that I WILL keep using. It makes the stories a little more.. believable if that makes any sense. It helps place the setting; after all, they do live in Japan.

Obviously, chan, kun, san, sama, etc, is a honorific used to show the relation with a person. Chan is like a really good gal friend, and can be used on boys names for cute nicknames like "syao-chan". See how adorable that is?! Kun is used for guy friends. San is mr/ms. Sama is sorta like saying boss, or someone of higher power. "Oni-sama" is a way to say big brother, and big brothers generally have power over you right? Sort of like a boss. Demo means but "demo demo demo" is but but but. Hai. This word has a couple of meanings as it can be translated as "okay" or "yes". Generally in this story, I plan on using it as yes. if it doesn't make sense, it probably is the other meaning.
Ohayo is good morning. Hopefully you caught on?
Arigatou is thank you. Minna is everyone. Nani is what, and yo is generally used as it. When you put them together, it usually translates as "What is it?" ...
And that does it for this chapter and translation. Please let me know if any of these translations are wrong; I do want my story to make sense. I'll be as accurate as possible in my knowledge. I hope you enjoyed this 'episode' of The survival, thanks so much for reading, favorite, follow, review, and all that, and I'll see all you readers in the next chapter!

Ja ne, (see you)
