Be my valentine Chapter 1, a card captor sakura fanfic

This is a rather complicated story, which I will think will consists of many chapters

This is a rather complicated story, which I will think will consists of many chapters. Well. Just one thought to ponder on before continue reading. In Japan, normally High school students are about 15 while in my country, there is no such things as High School but we do have Junior college so I do not know so much about High School. Just take it that in Japan, High School students are about eighteen. Here goes.

Be My Valentine

By Sakura aka Michelle

Chapter 1

Kinomoto Sakura quickened her footsteps because she knew that she was going to be late for her school. "I am going to be late!" She shouted and then added in a whisper, "Again."

It seemed like eternity before her high school came into her view and Sakura suddenly felt that something was amiss; the gates were locked! "What is going on now?"

Frustrated, she pushed her hair out of her face and leaned against the school wall while she thought about what to do next. Just then, a small kid ran forward to her and flashed her a grin before laughing out loudly, catching the attention of several passers-by.

"There is no school on Sunday!" The little boy explained and burst into laughter again, much to Sakura's annoyance, though her cheeks did turn pink.

"Thank you," Sakura mumbled and swiftly walked away, avoiding the curious glance of many people. "What luck."

The rumbling of her own stomach made her realize that she had missed her breakfast. She sighted a new fast-food restaurant nearby and decided to fill her stomach. The moment she entered the restaurant, the sight made her recoil and she suddenly had the urge to turn back; all the people in the place were all males and all of them were staring at her and were wearing the same uniform. Not the same as hers

"Royal High School." Sakura breathed out. Royal High was the school for the top scholars in the country, not to mention that these students must be rich. Picking up her courage, Sakura went to the counter to order food. "May I have a burger and a cup of water please?"

The person at the counter looked at Sakura worriedly and replied, "In a moment."

Meanwhile, Sakura felt that there was someone behind her but she ignored him, making the other guys in the restaurant unhappy. The food was handed to her on a tray and Sakura picked it up, noticing that another guy had came forward, striding towards her with a frightening expression on his face. Without saying anything, he snatched the cup of water from her tray and poured it all over her.

"That is for coming into our Royal High territory and for not respecting the crowned prince!" he said, almost shouting.

"Leiyunn." the man who was queuing behind Sakura warned.

"But Prince."

"She did not mean it."

Sakura looked at the man in front of her and then looked at the prince. Then she returned the tray to the counter and requested to take away and to have another cup of water. Without words, she empty the contents of the cup all over the prince, who remained still and silent.

"Syaoran!" Everyone in the place gasped, but the prince who was named Syaoran raised up his hand to keep the silence.

Silence filled the room and the tension was mounting. Sakura finally spoke up, "Tomoeda High students will not be intimidated so easily!"

She stomped out of the restaurant angrily but a hand grabbed hers and she was forced to stop. Thinking that it was Leiyunn, who had poured her drink all over her, she whirled back, ready to hurl insults at him. She was rather surprised when she saw Syaoran before her and was even more surprised when he handed her his handkerchief with a smile on his face. "You are soaking wet. Just take his as an apology," he explained. When Sakura did not react, he put his handkerchief into her palm and walked away, while wiping his face dry with the sleeves of his uniform.

Sakura stood rooted to the spot, transfixed by Syaoran's gentleness but she quickly shook away her thoughts and immediately fled the scene for fear that the gang might come out to hunt for her.

Murmuring could be heard among the people when Syaoran entered the restaurant. "It is really nothing. Just pretend that nothing has happened," he suggested and returned to his table.

Hiragizawa Eriol, his cousin, commented, "Seems like our Cinderella has left her things behind."

Syaoran raised a brow, "What are you mumbling about?"

Eriol shrugged and pointed to the counter, where Sakura has left her wallet behind. "See that? I suppose she will come back for it."

"I have a feeling that she will not," Syaoran interrupted and went to collect the wallet. "Enjoy yourselves; I will make a move first."

"Hey Syaoran!" Eriol called out. "Where are you going?"

"Home."

Eriol just sighed deeply before turning to his other friends and shouted, "The treat is on me. Just eat to your full!"

Grunts of approval as men hurriedly queue up to order expensive food.

Sakura muttered angrily to herself on her way home, "Why did I have to take his handkerchief? Why?"

She was so engrossed in chiding herself that she did not realized that she was already standing at her doorstep, holding the Prince's handkerchief in her hands and the most unlucky thing was that her brother, Kinomoto Touya, was staring at her intently. She immediately hid Syaoran's handkerchief behind her back and replaced the weird expression with a grin, pushing a strand of wet hair off her face.

"Why are you wet?" Touya asked, casting her a curious glance.

"It rained just now," Sakura replied almost instantaneously but realized that she had made a terrible mistake. It did not rained just now and Touya knew it because he was hanging the laundry.

Touya faked a cough and stretched out his hand, "Hand over the thing that you are hiding."

"Onii-chan." Sakura protested.

"I want to see it now."

"But I am already eighteen! Can't I have a bit of privacy?"

He hesitated but relented, "Fine. Whatever you say but don't get yourself into trouble."

Sakura pouted, "You are nagging."

"Can't help it," Touya answered and flashed her a devilish grin. "Especially when I have a kaijuu sister."

"Onii-chan!"

Just then, a black limousine came to a halt in front of the Kinomoto residence. Sakura gasped upon the crest on the door of the limousine as it was strangely familiar. Sakura took out the Prince's handkerchief and unfolded it. Her eyes widened upon seeing that the symbol on it was identical.

"What was going on?" Touya demanded.

A person came out from the limousine and walked towards Sakura with a parcel in his hands. He bowed to her and banded her the parcel, "The Prince believes that this belongs to you."

"You have met the prince?" Touya asked incredulously.

Sakura accepted the parcel with a frown and opened the parcel carefully. It was her wallet. "How did my wallet ended up with him?"

"His highness said to tell that he will be sending you to school tomorrow as an apology."

"Could you please tell him that I would much prefer to go to school on my own," Sakura said and entered the house, with Touya right behind her.

"How did you meet the Prince?" Touya asked his sister again.

Out of frustration, Sakura retorted, "Can you please ask me again some other time? I am thoroughly confused."

"Ok." Touya soothed. "Tell me when you are ready then. I won't force you to."

The next morning, Sakura wised that she was sick so that she could stay at home instead of facing the Prince. "Morning otou-san, onii-chan," Sakura greeted without energy.

"Morning Sakura-san," Fujitaka said and mildly asked. "What are the black limousines doing outside our house?"

"They are here already?" Sakura asked, clearly panicking. "Why can't they leave me alone?"

"Who are they?"

"The Royalties," Touya supplied.

"What do they want from us?"

Touya shrugged and urged Sakura to hurry up, "The Prince have been waiting for quite a long while. Better hurry up, kaijuu."

Sakura forced a smile and drank some milk. Fujitaka handed her her lunch box and Touya handed her bag to her. "I am off then."

"Be careful on you way to school," Fujitaka said once more.

"I will, otou-san. Ja ne," Sakura said and left the house.

Syaoran was out of his limousine the moment her spotted Sakura. Before he could say anything, Sakura returned the handkerchief to its rightful owner. "I am sorry about what happened yesterday."

"I wish to be left alone," Sakura interrupted rudely but then realized her manners. "Please?"

Syaoran hesitated and then sighed deeply. "I understand."

"I would appreciate it if you would stop looking for me; I don't wish to see you."

"I guess that is your right," Syaoran agreed with her and told her gently. "Just look out for your health, you don't look good."

"Excuse me Prince, I wish to go to school now. I am already late," Sakura said and left, leaving Syaoran staring after her.

Sakura walked briskly, angered by the limousine that was following behind her. She stopped suddenly and turned back to the chauffer, "Could you please leave me be?"

"I apologize, Miss Kinomoto. This is the Prince's order to make sure that you reach the school safely."

Sakura groaned aloud and stepped into the car, "If you insist, since I am already very late."

Miraculously, she was just in time for school. The chauffer alighted and hurriedly assisted Sakura out of the limousine. Students in the school crowd around the car, noticing that the Royal Crest on it. "It is the Royal limousine!" Someone shouted. "Where is the Prince?"

Sakura carefully wedged her way through the crowd until she was able to catch a normal breath. "What is wrong with these girls?"

"Hi Sakura-chan!" Daijouji Tomoyo, Sakura's best friend, greeted her cheerfully. "Why are you taking that Royal limousine to school? I saw it."

"Shh!" Sakura hushed and dragged Tomoyo to an isolated spot. "I met the Prince and a huge group of Royal High students in a nearby restaurant and." and she continued explaining.

"Oh! You were so courageous! Such a pity that I wasn't there to tape the whole scene."

"Tomoyo-chan!"

Tomoyo chuckled, "I was only joking."

The school bell rang and all the students hurried to their classroom and it was only then did Sakura realized that her classmates were looking at her with strange expressions.

Tadang That is all for chapter 1. Have you noticed that there is no prologue? Hee. Tell me what you think about this fanfiction please?

P.s. Thanks to altona for pointing out the grammar mistake in the first paragraph. I can't believe I didn't notice it for the past few years. In response to the kind review, I would like to highlight that the first few chapters were written years ago when I was much younger and naïve. So, I would like you to forgive me for not being realistic enough. However, I am very happy to receive that review from you. I will strive hard to improve on my fics. :) Thanks!
