Dream State
A young girl spun on her heels and brought her staff to bare on the person she was looking at. "Why are you doing this?" She yelled as she took out what appeared to be a Sakura Card
The man smiled at her, his eyes where full of fire and it showed that he didn't care whether she lived or died. "You are a threat to our plans... you are a threat to everything we stand for... you are a threat to our very existence"
She straightened up. "I'm just a kid! How can *I* be a threat to you?"
"You hold a power that threatens this world, and quite frankly, we can't let that power continue," He said and raised his own staff into the air, blue and red particle's appeared out of thin air and became to collect
"SHIELD!" The girl yelled as a bubble appeared around her. She continued to watch the man in front of her, easily 2 feet taller than her. "Please! I don't understand why you are doing this!"
"Children should bow down to those who are STRONGER! A child cannot survive in a world without a parent." He grinned, "Just like how you, without your father and brother, won't survive the coming change." His grin bore an oath of evilness that Sakura found unsettling. The man glanced at up at his staff and smiled, then aimed it at Sakura... and fired
End Dream State
Sakura suddenly shot up, breathing heavily and glancing at the clock. “6:30…..” she said
Kero mumbled before waking up. “Niya… what’s wrong Sakura-chan?” he said as he noticed the look on Sakura’s face
She looked at him, “I had.. a strange dream- perhaps a premonition dream?” she asked him, then shrugged and got up and walked over to her closest, opening it up she pulled her out her school uniform and put it on. Making sure she did it correctly
“Hmm… what did you see?” Kero asked and flew over to her
Sakura stared at the mirror. “I think… me? But… it didn’t look like me.. I looked younger, like I was 10 again or something?” she said confusingly. “but.. that’s impossible.. how could I be ten year’s old again?” she smiled briefly before leaving
Kero just floated there and stared at the door. “Your right, your 13 now.. how could you be ten years old again? Hmmm.. something’s odd about that dream.. maybe it was JUST a dream?” he asked himself
Sakura walked down the stairs. “Ohayo!” she smiled at her better. “Ohayo kaijuu” Touya grinned as he saw his little sister walk into the dining room
“I am NOT a monster!” she argued back and got a bit angry
“Could of fooled me, you where noisy enough during the night,” he took a sip of his coffee. “You sure your not a monster?”
“Errrrrrrrrrrr.” Sakura snarled but then stopped and turned around. “Baka….” She said under her breath
“By the way, why are you up so early?” Touya asked
She stopped and looked back at him. “Strange dream.. couldn’t get any more sleep so I decided to just wake up”
Tuoya just nodded and finished before heading out. “Where you going?” Sakura asked
“Work….” Touya said as he walked out the door
She stared at the door for a second. “At six thirty?” she asked herself before shrugging and getting her hat and putting on her skates, she walked toward the door and took a look behind her, before leaving her house and skating to school. She passed by Penguin Park and soon stopped, and remembered back to her Card Capturing days. “Seems like only yesterday,” she smiled at herself then looked toward the mountains, the sun was still coming up and the morning was cool, despite the dark cloud’s over head and the occasional thunder in the distance. “Looks like we might have rain,” she said before continuing to skate
As she came closer to the school she felt another source of magic, she hadn’t felt any in over a year, not since her and Syaoran had sealed Empty and turned it into Hope. As she came around a bend she saw where the sense was coming from, a man was standing near her school, he wore black long pant’s, a business type shirt with a tie, in my right hand was a clipboard and in his left was a pen, he was writing something down. Sakura blinked, and a second later the man was gone, blinking once more she rubbed her eyes, thinking she might’ve imagined it she just pushed the thought aside and continued toward her school
“Hey Bro! Wait up!” Came a yell from behind Sakura, she turned around just in time to be passed by a boy who was also skating, when he passed her he and her actually collided, sending them both to the ground and him into the wall
Sakura spun on her skate’s, almost hitting the ground before being caught by her brother. “T.. .Oniichan!” Touya looked at her, before dusting her off then looked toward the boy who had hit her. She looked at the boy and noticed that he was smaller than her, but that didn’t bother her. She walked over to him and helped him off the ground, “You ok?” She asked him
He stared at her, the brightness in her eyes, plus her face, struck him in the heart which started beating a little faster, but the growl from her big brother snapped him out of his dream state and into the real world. “Umm…” he couldn’t muster the words, but instead was helped by the girl
“Onii-chan baka…” came another voice from the gate. “You really are stupid… skating by here and not looking where your going!”
He rolled his eyes. “Stop acting all high and mighty, Misaki” he said with both hands on his hips. “Besides, mother told you to stay home, since it’s still to dangerous for you to be out while it’s still a little dark out”
“hupf… you still treat me like a little kid!” Misaki pouted and, with folded arms, took off toward her own school which only a two minute run
He sighed. “You will ALWAYS be a little kid, to me anyway” he said and looked at the girl he had been talking to before. “I’m very sorry!” he bowed. “My name’s Katowa Mas, 4th grader here”
Sakura smiled. “My name’s Kinomoto, Sakura… 7th grader”
Katowa nodded. “Nice to meet you, Kinomoto-senpai” He heard another grumble from her big brother. “Umm.. did I say that wrong?” he said and looked toward her brother, who just sighed and got back on his bike and rode off. “Did… I say something wrong?”
Sakura just giggled for a second before looking back at the young kid. “So, are you hurt?”
“A scratch here and there, but I’ll be fine thanks.” He smiled at her then looked at the gate. “Guess I’m a little early
Touya rode by his school before he stopped and noticed a woman standing there, leaning up against the wall. “I hope my little brother didn’t cause you any problems,” she said and opened one eye, looking at him
“How’d you know?” Touya asked, a bit startled
She smiled and got off the wall. “It’s… something I wont’ discuss, since I don’t know you but I do apologize if my brother made any mistake’s in his introduction, he is new to Japan and thus he’s not used to the suffixes you use”
“He was born here.. how can he be new?”
“Oh.. you knew that already?” She smiled at the young adult.“Still..”
Touya just looked away from her, then continued toward work. “How rude…” The girl said but then a smile creased her face. “Touya Kinomoto,” she pocketed his ID that she had stolen from him
An hour passed before the gates to the school opened up. Katowa was already putting his skate’s away when he noticed a girl was in, her uniform was a tad dirty but otherwise in good shape. “Who is she?” He wondered as he watched her, Sakura caught his glimpse and took a moment to look at the girl, she to must’ve been wondering cause awhile had passed before the two realized they’d been staring for over twenty minutes
Katowa hurried upstairs and to his classroom, he was the first one there, mostly due to the fact that he’d been at the school early. He got the classroom ready and heard something behind him. “Morning,” he said to a few of his fellow classmates, who responded back. “Morning”
The girl who they had been watching before was near his room, or rather, right outside the door. She had peered in briefly before a student tapped her on the shoulder. “Wrong floor,” the student said to her. She looked at her, first with freight, then she nodded and took off. Kasawa walked out of the classroom upon hearing the commotion. “Who was that?”
“A 3rd grader…. Wonder what she was doing here… or why she came to school with a messed up uniform.” The student wondered
“Maybe she’s abused?” Said a female student
Another female student shook her head. “Maybe she just couldn’t find a clean uniform?”
The two female’s shrugged before going back into the classroom and helping Kasawa clean it up a bit, they still had 30 minute’s before class started
Meanwhile, at the High School
Kasawa’s Big Sister was on the roof. She looked over the ground’s that stood between her high school, and her little brother’s elementary school. “Perfect place for a battle, if one was ever to come,” she said and looked around. “But if what I sensed before is right, it won’t be long…”
She heard a voice behind her and she looked over her shoulder, and smiled when it was just her two friends. “Sensei needs us” they said. She nodded and left
Ok, back at the Grade School
The bell rung and the student’s got in there seats, the teacher came in. It was Sakura’s 4th grade teacher: Terada.
There teacher walked over and did roll call, after a few minute’s he closed the roll call book and gave out an assignment: reading a book, which was something Kasawa liked and disliked
Either the teacher forgot to tell them to stop, or he just wasn’t in the mood today, for they had read for a while and it was getting close to lunch time. Finally the teacher nodded and told them to stop reading, soon the bell rung and the student’s left for lunch, all except Kasawa, something was bothering him
He walked out of the classroom and toward the stairs that lead to the roof, after a short walk he was on the roof and looking around. He walked toward the fence that encased the roof, making it so people could fall off; he turned around and spotted something in front of him. But a sudden punch knocked his breath out and sent him through the fence and toward the ground below
Chapter 3: Sudden Fall and Discovery
(by Kasawa Lanford, added on 2005-09-29 08:52:04 AEST) [Discussion Topic]
The blow took him by surprise, he had found himself flying through the fence, the same fence that was suppose to stop anyone from falling off the roof, but due to the force of the punch the fence couldn’t hold him
He went through the fence; one of the metal spoke’s jagging him in the arm. He began to fall but was suddenly stopped by a tree branch that had been in the way, he heard a snap upon hitting the branch and pain soared through his back. But he soon blacked out from the pain
A man stood on the roof and grinned at him, then took out what appeared to be a dagger and aimed it toward the branch. “Who are you?!” Came a yell from behind him
Sakura stood in the doorway, her hand was already on her wand and she already had a card out. “Pathetic little child,” The man said and disappeared, but not before throwing the dagger. Sakura ran over to the edge and saw the dagger cut the branch of the tree; Kasawa’s unconscious body fell from the tree and toward the ground below
“FLOAT!” She struck the card; a pink glow surrounded Kasawa and slowly lowered him to the ground below. Several students had heard the sudden break in the fence and looked around, then found Kasawa on the ground, one of the students ran to get the nurse while others where wondering what happened
The person who had attacked him was now on another roof. “Blasted child,” he said and lit a cigarette. “Looks like I’ll have to eliminate her first,” he took a puff before tossing the cigarette toward the ground below
Sakura looked over the edge and sighed in relief when she saw that Kasawa had floated down to the ground safely, although he was still hurting. She watched as the nurse dropped her med kit and began to work on him, after a sort time she picked him up and brought him to the clinic. Where she could work a little better without worrying about the heat
School soon ended and Sharia was waiting outside the gate’s, as she waited she heard what some of the students had been saying, about how another student had been attacked earlier that day and was in the clinic recovering. She couldn’t help but get that gut feeling; she walked through the hall’s passing a few students who glanced at her then returned to chatting amongst themselves. She walked into the office and looked around; the lady there looked at here. “Something I can do for you?”
She was about to say something when she heard brothers name find him
“What do you think Tomoyo? It’s not normal from someone to attack someone that, and besides, Kasawa is a harmless person,” Sakura said as she and her best friend, Tomoyo, walked by the office. Sharia suddenly bolted out of the office and after the two girl’s, catching up to them as they left the gate
“Hey! Wait!” Sharia said
Sakura stopped and looked at the strange girl. “Something I can do for you?”
“I heard you say my brothers name… Kasawa…” She said in between breaths
Tomoyo nodded. “Yes we did, he was hurt earlier today, but strangely enough the nurse had him sent to the hospital, that’s where my friend and I where going,”
She stared at the young girl. “Why?”
Sakura smiled. “Because he’s nice, and besides,” she turned around. Something wasn’t right about that attack, and it felt like another force was involved, but I can’t tell her that,but little did she know she wouldn’t need to, “Another force?” Sharia said, not even realizing she had just read Sakura’s mind out loud.”…….” Sakura just stood there for awhile; Tomoyo looked at both her and Sharia a few times before going to think about what just occurred. “Déjà vu?” she said
That was not déjà vu and Sharia knew it, she had read Sakura’s mind but forgot to shield the thought from her mouth and accidentally said it instead of just thinking it. “No, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to”
Sakura stood there a little longer before finally speaking up. “Perhaps it was déjà vu,” Sakura finally said and put her skate’s on. “Anyway if you want to join us I don’t mind,” she said and began to skate a bit
Sharia nodded and walked with them, it took them a few minute’s before they arrived at the children hospital. Sharia asked the lady at the desk and she pointed them in the right direction, it didn’t take long for them to get to the room that her brother was in, hooked up every machine that she could even think of. A doctor walked out of the room, “You his guardian?”
“I am, how’s he doing?” Sharia asked. The doctor looked at the two girls with her and gestured for her to follow him for awhile, after the two where around the corner he stared at her. “I don’t understand it myself, he’s got two cracked ribs, one of those cracks ribs went through his right lung, the only reason he’s alive is because of the breather”
She sighed and took it all in at once, “I see….” She finally said and looked toward the room, she knew someone from there past had come back to haunt them… but who? That question stayed on her mind after she got and for the rest of the night, she couldn’t sleep knowing that someone had attacked her brother, for no reason
Her little sister was sleeping just fine though, but some of the thing’s she said when she told her what had happened to her brother where very harsh and she almost slapped her in the process, but held back, knowing that it wasn’t the right thing to do, but she did wonder how such a little girl could say those thing’s about her own big brother
The next day Sharia stayed home, but her little sister went school anyway. Sakura came to the door, “Hi Sharia!” she said. Sharia had asked Sakura to use her first name, made thing’s eaiser since her last name was a lot harder to pronounce, most people just used ‘Mas’ instead of the full name, which was more than 30 characters long
“Good day Kinomoto-san,” Sharia said. “Misaki-chan!” She yelled and after awhile Misaki came down the stairs, ready for school. She stared at sakura then turned around, “I have to walk with that idiot?” she said
Sharia grew red, and Sakura noticed it. “… How rude…” she managed to kick herself from throwing that punch, Sakura just smiled. “It’s ok… its ok Sharia-senpai..” Sakura said and Sharia just looked at her, “Just go to school and come back ok?”
Misaki looked away, mad at her elder sister for having someone else take her to school, she felt she could do it by herself. But she decided to just please her sister and walk with Sakura, the two soon left, Sakura wasn’t wearing her skate’s this time instead opting to walk.. although naturally her big brother was watching her without her knowing
“Misaki, why’d you-“
“Call you a idiot?” Misaki said with a smile. “Cause I felt like it, you seem like one and thus I have no idea what my brother had in mind when he said sorry,” she sighed
“You realize that’s rude right?”
“And I should care.. why? Just because I’m younger?” Misaki said in a rude tone, Sakura sighed once more and tried to keep her own anger in check, although naturally all these word’s coming out of a seven year olds mouth DID make her wonder what her parent’s where like
After a short while Misaki finally got tired of it. “I’m off,” she said and ran off. Sakura was about to run after her but when she saw Misaki’s school up ahead she decided not to and instead to go to her own school
She walked onto the grounds, but what she saw next sent fear through her mind, she saw blood everywhere, body’s, both student’s and adults alike. She looked around before seeing a figure clad in armor walking around, carrying a sword that was dripping with blood. She looked around frantically for an answer to what she was seeing but couldn’t find one, the figure then noticed her and walked toward her, she took a step back and when she tried to grab her key she noticed it wasn’t around her neck anymore. The figure stopped in front of her and took a swing with his sword
A scream was heard and she suddenly sat up, breathing heavily, she felt someone push her down and she looked around before seeing Tomoyo knelt down next to the bed. “To..moyo?” she said, she had a heard time speaking with such a serious headache said had
Tomoyo said something but she couldn’t hear it, she couldn’t make out.. was she deaf now? She saw the nurse walk into the room and put a wet cloth on her forehead, she then drifted back off to sleep
A few hours passed before she woke up again, this time in her own home. The door opened and her brother walked in, “How are you feeling?” he asked
Sakura blinked. “Ok.. I guess”
Her brother just shook his head. “Do you know what happened?” he asked
She knew what happened, but she didn’t know how to explain it, only that she felt light headed. “The nurse said you where found in the locker room collapsed, and you had a high fever,” Touya said and laid down a tray of food. “Get some rest, you’ll be staying home tomorrow”
“But! I’m fine, I said I was fine.” Sakura protested but Touya’s stare convinced her he was right. What DID she see what caused her to see that nightmarish scenario? She even talked it over with Kero he couldn’t figure it out either, but told her to becareful.. he also warned her about the young sister of Kasawa’s, that he felt something odd from her, and that she was to be careful around that girl
Sakura looked at Kero. “I will, don’t worry, everything will be alright,” she smiled before going to sleep. Kero just sighed
