Card Captor Sakura Fan Fiction ❯ The Ominous week ❯ Ill Omen - Monday ( Chapter 1 )

Chapter1.The Ill Omen Nichiyoobi

My own reflection in the mirror… let it break like the ripples of water… there is nothing to say…

"Who… is singing?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is a night of a full moon. The sun is still in the sky. Half of the sky is light as day; the other side is as dark as night, not a star in sight. The moon, eerie red, is in the middle of the sky, just where the division of the day and night sky. The sun is in a evil blue, right next to the moon. Under the light of red and blue, the city of Tokyo looks really miserable. Sakura stands on the side of the Tokyo tower, holding Syaoran's sword. The Sakura card spirits hovers around, uneasy. The other side of the tower stood a girl and a fox with nine tails. The girl raised her hand, and a few people floated around her. Sakura couldn't see their faces. Sakura shouted, but nothing could be heard. The girl raised her hand again, and a few hundred light balls floated from her hands. They hit Sakura, and her form slowly faded…and when she is losing her consciousness she saw that in a blur, that tears flew out of that girl's eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Sakura screamed as she woke.

Kero rubbed his eyes complained about that noise with eyes half shut.

"Sorry, I had a bad dream again…"

"oh… so that's why …" Kero yawned and went back to sleep.

"Why am I having weird dreams again?" Sakura thought. "Is it because that something bad is about to happen? Who is the girl in my dream?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's raining… it's not usual for Tomoeda to have this kind of rain at this time of the year… and it only happens about once every 30 years… not even the weather forecast predicted this rain…

When the storm poured like waterfalls on people's heads, they woke from their dreams and ran inside, and complaining about that how the rain had messed up their plans…

Sakura sat at the window and looked outside, and watching the rain drops crawling around on the window. The sound of the rain expressed her feelings. She had planed to have a picnic with Tomoyo and friends, the rain ruined it… and the letter she was going to send to Syaoran on the way to picnic won't be sent for now…

She looked at the letter that she has written, a bit wet… the bitterness and the longing swarmed into her heart…

------------------------------

Syaoran kun…

It's been ten months since I last saw you… How are you? Everyone has been really busy recently. Dad is preparing for the exams and papers of the second term, my brother and Yukito san is busy with their university work. They are in Empire University! So they study until really late at night. I am now in junior high school, and my work is getting harder, and the math is just terrible…

Kero-chan has been eating a lot more lately… and is gaining weight, I guess not long after, his little wings won't keep him airborne anymore… fat Kero-chan is really cute, I'll send you a picture later. But, because he eats too much, so my brother isn't too happy about it, because Kero-chan is eating all the dessert that is suppose to be his!

I am so happy! Tomoyo-chan and I are still in the same class even though we went through to junior high. There are lots of fun activity at school, like… spring excursions, the festival, and even more athletics competitions. I had so much fun, and Tomoyo-chan took so many pictures, which I'll send you some of them to you.

Our school got first prize on the chorus competition of Tokyo; Tomoyo-chan is so good at singing. And the chorus is thinking about getting into the National Competition! That Tomoyo-chan practice so hard everyday. I think I should make her my role model and work hard on my schoolwork…Everyone is just fine. Tomoyo-chan made so many more costumes for me; she said that they WILL come in use someday. But to be honest, I don't like them so much, and that all the Clow cards has transformed into Sakura cards, The Nothing card is captured… I suppose that those costumes have no chance so being used.

Yamazaki and Chiharu-chan hasn't changed at all, they still fight each other… Well… let them be…

Rika-chan makes so much delicious food and snacks and such, I am sort of jealous of her good cooking skills! And… did you know that Rika-chan is now obsessed with kendo! (Note: Japanese fencing.) The way she handles the sword is just so cool! Naoko-chan is going to have one of her book published, one of the publishers have her name in their lists. That is so good!

Syaoran-kun, when are you coming back? I miss you so much. Why don't you contact me? If you lost my number, I can give it to you right away. If you are too busy that you can't manage to contact me, don't worry, take your time to finish your `business'. No matter how long it takes I'll wait for you. Even so, I still hope that you could come back to me sooner. And don't forget our promises.

Best wishes.

Sakura Kinomoto

7th of July, a lovely rainy day.

--------------------------------------------------------

Just think of Syaoran, Sakura felt a bit funny… she doesn't know why. {When I think of Syaoran-kun, why can't I calm my self?} {Why do I feel down when we talk about him?} {Why am I so worried about him?} {Why do I ask myself so many `why'?} for a second, four unanswerable questions flashed through Sakura's head. She is a bit annoyed about her own feelings recently. Ever since Syaoran left, she has changed to be more emotional. And her friends has found her harder to get on with. Sakura always wanted a answer that makes sense to her, always asked herself questions. But the more she asks herself, the more emotional she get.

"Syaoran-kun, when are you coming back?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The rain is getting worse, the washing can't get dry outside. Sakura took in the wet washing. It dries faster inside rather than leaving it in the rain. But even the easy job as taking in the washing feels like that it is going to drain all her energy. Sakura looked at the pile of wet clothes, and felt that she might get wet and moldy just like them. Dad and Touya is out, and Kero-chan just eats or sleep all day, who else could she complain to? She opened her top drawer, and an old book lay still in it. This book sealed the Sakura-card that she is so proud of. The cards seemed to sense that Sakura isn't too happy, the book cover flew open and the cards surrounded Sakura, tried to comfort her. Sakura suddenly felt better.

On a nearby roof, a cat appeared, but what kind of a cat would come out on a rainy day like this? If you take a closer look, it's not a cat at all, looks a bit like the Dash card. It's a bit prettier than the Dash card. It's nine tails raised in pride, as beautiful as rainbow. White clean fur shone with the raindrops. It has blue hair on the back of its neck flowing as if it is burning. And the deep ruby red eyes shone of mystery, somehow implying that it possesses strong magical powers. Overall, it is TOO beautiful, which mean, it's not just some ordinary animal. The white fox looked at the Sakura cards and Sakura, looked like if it said something, and turned and jumped onto the next building, like a light arc and disappeared into the night. The appearance of the white fox, seem to be sick omen… a foretelling of disaster.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the middle of the night, Sakura and Kero-chan is sleeping soundly. The top drawer of Sakura's desk slid open by it self, the Sakura book flew out silently. It seems to be considering something, it hadn't had any movement for a few moments. Then, the book opened. Fifty two Sakura cards flew out of the book and went through the walls, and disappeared into the night sky. And then, as if nothing had happened, the book closed, and returned to its place in the drawer, and then drawer slid closed again. All the Sakura cards are gone; there is only one card left: The Hope still lay in the bottom of the book.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My own reflection in the mirror… let it break like the ripple of water… there is nothing to say, maybe I'll die tomorrow, the blank mind and the wind as cruel as iron, attend my lonely funeral, green fire lead my spirit…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the Sakura cards flew away, Sakura had a nightmare, she dreamt that Tomoyo is trapped in a big whirl pool, and water is almost over her head, Sakura tried to grab Tomoyo, but someone held her from behind. She watched and cried as she saw Tomoyo swollen by the water. As water went over her best friend's head, Sakura saw it, a bluish green feather floated in the air.

And when she woke from her dream, she never went back to sleep.
