Hi Everyone!
Well, here's my first attempt to write a fairly long story, instead of my usual shorts. It's almost my first attempt to write a serious story. I hope you guys like it! =)

Card Captors is owned by CLAMP. Syaoran and Sakura are 16 in this fic and it's rated PG-13 due to a bit of violence.



Night of the Living Dead Part I


"Y...You're not afraid of me?" The young woman softly said to her companion. "No." came the strong reply. "I've never been afraid of you Sakura, why should I start now?" Syaoran looked across the table, taking one of her pale hands into his own. She looked up at him, a single, dark tear trailing down her cheek. Syaoran reached over and wiped it away, then gave her a small smile. The once vibrant Sakura that he had always known was gone. Syaoran looked around him and noticed that the house was empty. The windows all had dark blankets over them and the only light came from a small lamp in the corner. He than took a closer look at Sakura.

Sakura had grown in the time that Syaoran had returned home. She was now a lovely young woman. Her auburn hair hung gently down her back, now reaching almost to her waist. Sakura was now also deathly pale, and she wasn't exactly among the living any longer. As Syaoran looked into her eyes, he could see flecks of gold appearing in her Emerald orbs. Sakura gave Syaoran a sad smile, a flash of fangs was seen as she quickly closed her mouth. "Everyone's afraid of me, even Tomoyo-chan and Kero-chan, they just won't admit it." Hearing his name, Kero came out of hiding and flew over to Sakura and Syaoran. A frown was on his face and he just nodded to Syaoran, not even giving one insult. "Sakura....." Kero started. Sakura looked down at the Guardian beast, "It's okay Kero-Chan, you're forgiven, I understand, I can't really blame you." Kero frowned again and whispered softly, "Gomen ne, Sakura." He flew back to his hiding place and Sakura let out a soft sigh, "See what I mean?"

Syaoran squeezed Sakura's hand and frowned, he felt sorry for Kero but more so for Sakura. "I'm not afraid of you Sakura-chan." He repeated. "I do want to know what happened though. How did you get like this? Is there anyway to reverse it? Can you be made human again? What happened to Tomoyo, your brother, your dad." Syaoran just kept the questions coming.

Sakura closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened them again, the green had disappeared totally to be replaced completely with gold. She was surprised when Syaoran didn't even flinch one bit but met her gaze with his own. "I'll start from the beginning......"




Well, here's the first part! I know, kinda short but I just wanted to get the basis down. I hope you liked it. And yes, too many vampire movies can be a dangerous thing!

Kero suddenly flies in, a huge grin on his face, "I'm actually in this story!"

LR: "Yes, Kero, you're in it, and I've actually kept my promise to Syaoran....so far"*EG*

Syaoran: "I heard that!"

LR: "Um.....heh heh, heard what?" Sneaks away from Syaoran. "Anyways, please read and review and I'll post the next part ASAP!"
