[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the CCS characters. I do own those whom I have made. A/N: Okay I know that it's been a while since I last wrote something…and frankly I think I just lost touch with the whole writing thing. But I am going to take another shot at this and please be honest of what you think. BTW this is my first CCS fanfic…
A Place in Time Chapter 1 Coincidence
CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! The white snow was at least ankle deep in this quiet little town of Baywere. The streets were covered in the beautiful white snow and the kids playing and laughing could be heard. Sakura, who was wearing a red floor length cloak, had her hands full with gifts and groceries. CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! She smiled at the two kids playing in the snow. Throwing snow balls at each other and loving this weather. Sakura remembered when she and Tomoyo used to play like that.
She continued to walk down the street passing shops of various kinds and people who were going in and out of the shops trying to get organized. Sakura loved this weather and time, it brought everyone closer together. Even though the snow was cold against her ankles she still carried that lovable smile that no one seemed to forget. She turned the corner and went down the next street.
This street was quieter than in town. The homes were small, but the neighborhood was friendly and very peaceful. Sakura finally reached her small apartment and got her keys out, but she noticed the door was already opened. Her heart pounding, she went into her apartment and set her things down in the kitchen, and she went to investigate. She was happy her apartment was small, she couldn't afford a bigger place, and she really couldn't afford much of food as well, but she was still very content with the way she lived. She went into the living room and saw a person with long dark hair pulled back putting something under her poorly decorated tree.
The person turned around and her smile brightened when she saw who was standing there. “Sakura-chan! I am so glad your home!” Sakura was shocked at first, but her expression suddenly changed. “Tomoyo-chan! I thought you were going to be Eriol-kun's this Christmas.” Sakura said to her long time best friend. Tomoyo looked at her funny. “Do you really think I would leave you alone for Christmas”
Sakura just smiled. “Thank you Tomoyo.” Sakura took off her cloak and hung it by the door. She then went back into the kitchen and put what little stuff she bought into their proper places and made some hot tea for the two of them. When she emerged her tattered dress was falling apart. Tomoyo looked at her with concern. She knew Sakura didn't have much and she tried to make new clothes for her friend and deliver them, but she always seemed to get sidetracked by something. What Sakura didn't know is that Tomoyo had brought a whole closet full of new clothes for her friend. Sakura knelt down and made her self comfortable on the hard chair and poured her friend some tea. Tomoyo watched her friend and she could see the sadness in her emerald eyes. It has been a while now, since her father and brother ended up missing. Sakura looked everywhere for them, and even though she was still young, she was very much persistent. She wished that she could go back in time and change things, but Sakura knew that was impossible. Maybe, if Sakura was lucky, she would be able to find them again.
Tomoyo was afraid to ever bring up the subject, because it would make Sakura sad and she was already worried enough. Tomoyo knelt back down and grabbed one of the things she put underneath the tree. She then sat down in the other hard chair and placed the brightly wrapped gift in her lap. Sakura looked at her friend and smiled. She was very happy that she wasn't going to spend the holiday alone. Tomoyo handed her the nicely wrapped gift to Sakura. “I know it's not Christmas yet, but I think you should open this early.” Tomoyo smiled at her.
…
A dark void began to fill the sky, and a large black and red creature fell through, landing on it's feet. People started to scream and run for their lives. The townsfolk were just plain scared of what came out of that void, for no one has ever seen anything like it. It stood a good 5 to 6 meters and it's eyes were red and yellow. It's skin was as scaly as a snakes' and it's mouth filled with a bad breath and yellow rotten sharp teeth with blood dripping from the corners of it's mouth. The thing roared and it's roar alone, shattered the glass. As it took a step and the ground shook, and steam from extreme heat rose from the ground, meting the snow as well. A young man, who was on top of a building nearby, watched the creature. He wore a dark green cloak his hood up so that no one saw his face. His amber set eyes on the creature. His eyes narrowed and he jumped off the icy roof and landed in the padding of snow under his feet. He pulled his sword out from under his cloak and got ready to attack. He took a step towards the creature. The creature looked down to him and smiled his evil and gruesome smile, showing all his teeth. Then a man came out of nowhere and started laughing at him. “Come, come. Prince Syaoran. Do you really think you can beat this monster?” He asked cruelly.
The Prince just scoffed. “What makes you think that you can go throughout the worlds and create trouble without having to deal with me”
The man just looked baffled. “And what else? You searching continuously? You know your never going to find them. To everyone here they are just a memory! A legend. As are the days of old.” His aura glowed and showed him with a ice type thing floating in the air. “I am the descendent of the great King Yue! I have all his powers. Hell, I was even named after him. Now little Prince, it's time for you to die and I will have my kingdom restored.”
Another man appeared on the opposite side of the creature. “Yue.” His deep voice called.
Yue looked over and saw the man. “Shingatsu…I thought you were going to let me handle this”
The man floated over to Yue and placed his hand over his forehead. “You are too reckless. It's time you sleep and let your ancestry false image of King Yue come out.”
With that Yue went to sleep and his wings folded around him and when Yue emerged he was in the form of a human male. (You all know who). Shingatsu then looked down at the Prince who was watching this whole scene, not forgetting the creature which threatened this land. Shingatsu then put his hand up and the false form of Yue went flying and he fell into a home about 4 blocks away. The Prince was half amazed and half worried, for he has heard of Shingatsu. He was widely known for his service to the late King of a far off kingdom. But the day that the King and his family disappeared was the day he decided to take over. Shingatsu looked to the young Prince and just smiled.
The Prince's sword was still drawn and ready for attacking. “Now,” Shingatsu said as though absent mindedly. “What are you doing in my kingdom? I see my pet here has you startled.” He patted it on the head.
…
Tomoyo and Sakura were looking at the strange man who came crashing into their home. Tomoyo thought he looked sweet. His silver blond hair, his sleepy eyes. She wondered if Sakura was thinking the same. Sakura, who is now changed out of her tattered dress and into a red and green floor length velvet dress, looked at the man.
Flashback
The two were talking and Tomoyo made her open her gift to reveal a beautiful floor length dress in an old Victorian cut and the colors were a dark red and green. And she never expected it to be made of velvet! She looked at Tomoyo and her smile got bigger. “This is beautiful! It must have taken you a long time to get this”
Tomoyo shook her head. “I made it for you. I've waited so long for this..” She whipped out a video camera and turned it on Sakura. “You'll just look so kawaii”
Sakura fell over anime style upon hearing this. But Tomoyo got her way, just like when they were kids, and she went to change. After she finally got changed she heard and loud CRASH! She ran out of her room and saw that Tomoyo was in the corner of her small living room shielding herself from the damage. She saw the hole in her roof and what fell through it. A man, unconscious from the fall, was lying in the rubble. Tomoyo looked at Sakura and just squealed. Stars were in her eyes, and her camera went up to capture Sakura in her dress. The dress fit really well on her. She looked like a royal. All she needed was to comb her hair and she would really look like a Princess in a story, that had been passed down to the townspeople now for 15 years.
“Sakura-chan! You look so wonderful!” Tomoyo yelled out.
Sakura, who was turning red, looked at Tomoyo and then at the man who had fell through her roof. I hope he's okay. Sakura thought. She looked up at her roof and sighed. Something else she couldn't afford to fix. Her day was just getting better and better. She and Tomoyo did their best to move the unconscious man to the small bedroom and tried to let him lay down on Sakura's old mattress. They did manage to get him as far as out of the rubble, but they just couldn't lift him anymore. So they just left him there, unsure of what to do.
End Flashback
“Tomoyo, what are we to do?” Sakura asked her friend, who in turn just shrugged.
Tomoyo's camera was put away at this time and she looked at Sakura then at the handsome young man in front of her. She then shrugged in response. “Sakura-chan.” Tomoyo took a sip of her hot tea Sakura had provided earlier. “Maybe we should make this man comfortable. Just until he wakes.”
Sakura nodded. There was something vaguely familiar about this guy, but she just couldn't remember. Sakura went into her room and grabbed a tattered old blanket and came back to put it on the sleepy man. “Sakura-chan!” Tomoyo exclaimed when she came back out with the old blanket. “You can't cover him with that.”
She then pulled another gift from under her tree and handed it to her friend.
Sakura opened it to find a beautiful blanket made of the thickest wool. The color, a light pink. Sakura thanked her friend and put the new blanket on the man.
…
Syaoran looked at Shingatsu and raised an eyebrow. “Your Kingdom!” Syaoran asked cockily.
Shingatsu looked at the young prince as if amused. “Yes. My Kingdom. I have ruled over this kingdom for 15 years now. And you, young Prince, shall die.” Shingatsu then released the creature for attack.
The young Prince immediately went into a stance and when he was about to attack the creature took it's fiery hot fist and pounded it into the ground making the ground shake. The Price looked at the creature trying to figure out how to beat it. The price regained balance and went in for the first attack. Syaoran raised his sword and went in to strike it on it's leg, he brought the sword down and sliced into it. The creature bellowed and bent over to attack his attacker, but Syaoran saw that the wound was not spitting out blood. It was spitting out lava!
Syaoran had to avoid the creature's lava spray as well as it's huge fists that came down trying to smash him into the ground. The lava spray melted down houses and it's hot molten lava fists brought down homes and made huge holes into the earth. Syaoran jumped to avoid the attack. The white snow was now dirty and as Syaoran landed the creature tried to smash him again. Syaoran jumped backwards and landed on a rooftop so that he faced the creature head on. “Damn. How do I beat this thing.“ Syaoran asked himself, trying to think.
Shingatsu just laughed at him. “Really little Prince.” His smile got bigger and more evil. “Is that the best you could…” His attention went to his left. He sensed something he has not sensed in 15 years. “So…you are alive after all…” He siad mostly to himself.
And he started to float/fly over to where he sensed the life. Syaoran looked at him and where he was heading. The home where the roof caved in. But Syaoran's attention went back to the creature. He had to finish this thing off. But how? The creature then brought it's fists down on him. Syaoran quickly moved out of the way, and he could see the smoke come up as the hot fire met the cold snow. “SHINGATSU!” Syaoran yelled angrily.
A/N: Well...I'll wait to see how this will do. I know Sakura doesn't seem like her normal self, but I do have plans to fix that later on in the story. This is my first CCS Fanfic..so I would appreiacte full honesty. If there is something that doesn't make any sense? Is it lacking detail? were the fights good enough? I guess until the next chapter..."Who are you?"
And I would like to give special thanks to The Lor. For she is the one who helps me when I despratly need it. Until the next Chapter...Ja ne!
