----Chapter 1: Your True Identity

April 1st, 1989. Twin girls were graced to Model Nadesiko Kinomoto and her husband Archeologist Fujitaka Kinomoto.

Touya Kinomoto, currently 5 years old has become a proud brother.

But alas, there was one thing, just one factor that has completely changed the lives of the Kinomoto children. For, their ancestor Clow Reed had died; he had separated his soul into two parts since one normal human can't sustain his powers.

Half of his Soul was sent to London England, the other Half, Tomoeda Japan. And just as you have suspected, the second half resides within Fujitaka Kinomoto. Fujitaka posses no power what so ever unlike Clow's other half.

Hence, for their father's magical soul, the 3 children have abilities exceeding any normal being.

For…

Clow had commanded that the part of his Soul that doesn't posses any powers, his eldest child should be granted the power of the Spirit World. His youngest child shall be granted Clow Magic and if there is a middle child, that one shall be granted Elemental Powers.

Hence…

Touya Kinomoto, the eldest, posses the powers to see into the Spirit World as well as communicate with them. That does come in very handy for history reports.

Saruka Kinomoto, the mid child, posses the powers to control the Elements and make them bend at her whim. Saruka can control Earth, Wind, Fire and Water.

Sakura Kinomoto, the youngest, has the powers of Clow. She will, when time comes right, acquire the Clow Book and her guardians Ceroberus and Yue Moon. When the Clow Cards are scattered throughout her town, she will NEED to capture them but at a cost. For when she captures them, she has to immediately turn them into Sakura Cards. That's why her Clow Staff will not be Clow Staff, it'll be the Star Staff that will help her capture AND turn the cards. And all this will happen when she is older and can sustain that type of power

And thus, the lives of the Kinomoto's were decided for them. But little did our little Card Captor know, there was indeed Clow's direct descendant who shall fight her for her cards and retransform them back into Clow Cards.

This will be a battle that She will have to fight alone in…

---16 years later---

"SARUKA!!!!" screamed 16-year-old Kinomoto Sakura.

Sakura was a beautiful girl with amazing waist length auburn hair that was completely natural, no added colours. She had amazing emerald green eyes, from her mother. She had a perfect body, curves where they are supposed to be. Her butt was firm and round and her breasts were the perfect size.

Yet, she kept quiet, alone, a loner. A Nerd.

Kinomoto Sakura, after past incidents, has decided to keep herself, to herself.

But, Kinomoto Saruka, the elder of the twins was a completely different story.

Saruka Kinomoto. Same height as Sakura, and equally beautiful. Except, Saruka was popular, with a capital P. She had shoulder length auburn hair but she had dark brown high lights and a black base. She had light brown eyes, from her father, but she wore contacts to make them look Green, like Sakura's. Saruka's body wasn't exactly like Sakura's but there were the similarities. Their breasts were of the same size but Saruka's body was built more.

You see Saruka took Karate classes every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. But Sakura, she was delicate and dainty. She took Ballet classes every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Even in Ballet, Sakura still had time to train with her sister so she can be ready for any Cards at any moment. But there was that little drawback that Sakura can't work to hard or else her legs might be pressured.

Saruka was really protective of her little sister. Yea she was only older by 3 minutes but that doesn't mean Sakura was her baby sister right?

I mean, after what has happened to Sakura in her past, any sister would be protective, and not to mention Touya. He's an over protective brother, for both of his baby sisters, especially for Sakura, for past happenings.

(Now why do I keep mentioning something about a Past Incident hmmm?? Something to wonder about)

"WHAT IS IT?!?" Cried Saruka as she brushed her hair.

Sakura growled. "Where are my ballet shoes? I have to go to classes in half an hour and Touya is getting impatient."

Saruka looked around their room. They both shared a room and had two beds in it. They had two dressers but one wardrobe. They had a walk in closet that was separated for Sakura and Saruka.

"Oh Sakura, it's up here, lemme throw them down."

Saruka walked to the balcony as Sakura rushed out in her normal shoes. She threw them and obviously Sakura caught them.

"THANKS SIS!!!" Sakura screamed as she ran into Touya's car.

"JA!!" Saruka yelled back waving.

And Sakura was off to Ballet Classes.

---Ballet Class---

Touya was obviously waiting for Sakura to finish. He was in the waiting room talking to Yukito, his best friend.

Sakura sighed as her teacher told her again,

"Sakura, pirouette three times before lunging."

Sakura nodded as she did. And there was the male dancer, ready to catch her. She was arched in the air as the boy stood there, staring at her like how their act was supposed to be.

The teacher nodded. "Grand, take a break."

Sakura walked into the waiting room where Touya was.

He smiled. "Tomoyo called my cell, she says something about more modeling?"

Sakura groaned. "Oh god, Tomoyo says that I got Okaa-sans body so she insists I model for her, really sad actually."

Touya grinned. "You did get mom's body Kaijuu, and Saruka got more of Dad's build, she ain't model material. She's the, fighter."

Sakura glared at him. "And who might I ask captures the cards in the family?!?"

Touya, Saruka and Sakura all knew about each other's magical abilities. They all promised each other to keep it a secret from their parents, so Nadesiko and Fujitaka know nothing about their children's magic.

"What?? You only captured Windy, Fly and Shadow so far."

Sakura harrumphed. "So, you only see ghosts and that's freaky!!"

Touya laughed. "Seeing ghosts is better than being a ballerina and a Card Captor."

Sakura pouted. "Fine Onii-chan, be mean."

"Hey, I'm calling in the ref, you're being unfair!!"

Sakura stuck her tongue out. "Well, I have another half an hour before I'm done. Drive me to Tomoyo's place?"

Touya groaned. "Fine, but you get your self home on your own, I'm at Yuki's place."

Sakura nodded and kissed Touya on the cheek. "Thanks Touya."

"No biggie."

---After at Tomoyo's place---

Sakura sighed. She was standing with Tomoyo literally curved around her taking measurements and pinning stuff to her body.

"Tomoyo, at least turn on the Radio!!"

Tomoyo groaned as she got up and walked over to her Radio. Instead of turning on the Radio, she put on a tape. Japanese Music filled the room.

"Ok, why are we doing this? Saruka is better, people will notice her!!"

"Sakura, if you haven't noticed, I'm your best friend, not Saruka's. Besides, you have your mothers body, you're perfect!!"

"So, I also have my mothers singing voice, that doesn't help."

Tomoyo stood up and put her pincushion down. "Listen Sakura. I'm your best friend. I'll always be here for you, and in this case you are my model so please be here for me, my stupid deadline is tomorrow and I'm not even half way done!!!"

Sakura growled as she straightened her back. "Speaking of being my friend, why are you?"

"Because," Tomoyo started, putting a few pins between her teeth, "we've known each other before what happened 2 years ago and I'll always be with you. Besides, Saruka gets a bit violent."

Sakura giggled. "OUCH!! Tomoyo that was my butt!!"

"Sorry." Tomoyo laughed.

So, until hours on end, Tomoyo and Sakura were getting Tomoyo's deadline dress ready. Thing is here, Tomoyo's mother and father are divorced. Her father, Kazuko Maiko owns a big Toy company and lives in London England. Every 3 months, for a week Tomoyo goes to visit her father.

Her mother, Sonomi Daidouji, Daidouji being her Maiden Name and being Tomoyo's last name as well, was a Fashion Designer. She's the manager and hostess of a few big Fashion Productions and has made it HUGE. But, she does depend on Tomoyo's artistic ability and gets some dresses off of her. Funny really. And Tomoyo, she depends on Sakura's model body.

Sakura yawned as she quick glanced the digital clocked beside the radio. "Mou, Tomoyo-chan, its 9: 30 and we have school tomorrow!!"

Tomoyo got up and removed the piece of cloth that was around Sakura and smiled.

"Yep, I got the measurements all done. I'll send Mimi to drive you home and remember Sakura, tomorrow at 5pm I'm coming to pick you up, you're modeling this baby at Mom's mini-show."

Sakura laughed. "Yes I'll remember. I'll probably put Saruka up to it!!"

"I'll know if it's Saru, Sakura!!"

Sakura giggled. "Yea I know you have an eye for these things."

"Yes I do!!" Tomoyo stated proudly. She then burst into laughter as she hugged Sakura. "See you tomorrow."

"Ja Tomoyo!!" Sakura called as she followed Mimi, Tomoyo's driver to the limo.

---Home---

Fujitaka was on a dig in Moscow Russia and he won't be back for another 2 weeks. Nadesiko was in Tokyo Japan because her best friend just had a baby; so, the twin girls and their older 21-year-old brother will be home alone for the next few days.

Sakura slouched in to find Saruka sitting on the couch sipping Diet Coke.

"Where's Onii-chan?" She asked as she took of her shoes.

"Oh, hey, Onii-chan's at Yuki's place. Sakura, don't you have a crush on him?" Saruka asked as she watched the soap opera.

Sakura walked in and dropped her ballet bag in a corner. "Nah, I used to, until Kero-chan explained to me it was because of his lunar abilities. Yuki is the human form of Yue."

"Yea, he was Sakura. Or did you forget that Yue and Yuki separated their bodies because Yue wasn't able to take care of you."

Sakura nodded. "Yea, anyways, where are Kero and Yue?"

"No idea, Kero said he'd be playing Street Fighters up stairs, so I bet he's doing that, but I don't know about Yue."

Sakura shrugged. "Ah, he's always doing what ever he can when I'm not home."

Saruka laughed. "Anyways, I'm hitting the hay, we have school tomorrow."

Sakura nodded as she got up.

They walked to their bedroom to find both of Sakura's guardians playing one-on-one Street Fighters.

"HAH!!! I GOT YOU YUE!!!"

Yue sighed. "Shut up Kero."

"Hey guys!!" Sakura greeted her guardians.

"SAKURA!!" The teddy screamed as she flew into his Mistresses arms.

Back a year ago, Sakura had opened the seal of the Clow Book, but hadn't dare touched the cards. Kero and Yue were already released when the Seal was broken.

But back a few weeks ago, Sakura was bored so she decided to re-open the book when Kero was pigging out. She flipped the first card and read 'Windy' and thus, releasing the cards and causing them to Scatter around her town.

And duh, now she's the Card Captor.

Sakura yawned as she changed into her P.J's. Saruka was already in the shower but Sakura decided to skip, sides she was feelings a bit sick.

Kero tucked Sakura in and Yue flew out the window. "Good Night Mistress." Yue called as he sat on the roof. He did this every night. He sat on the roof and eventually drifted off to sleep. Ceroberus eventually joined him and they both slept under the moon in the night.

Saruka came out a few minutes later and jumped into her bed. She flicked the lamp off and the twins feel into a deep slumber.

---Morning---

Sakura woke up first, a few minutes before her alarm clock rung. She decided to leave it on for Saruka.

Sakura walked into her walk in closet to her side and got out her school uniform. It was a black skirt with a white dress shirt and a black tie. They had a matching hat with the school symbol on the top.

Sakura took her cloths into the bathroom and took her shower. She blow dried her hair and put her uniform on. By then Saruka awoke and got her uniform ready.

Sakura walked downstairs to find Touya finishing up his breakfast.

"Made pancakes for you Kaijuu."

"SAKURA NO KAIJUU!!! ONII-CHAN BAKA!!!"

Touya winced at his baby sisters' outbreak.

"Yea, yea. Hurry up and finish up your breakfast, I'm driving you two."

"Take Saru, I'm in-line skating."

Touya shrugged. "Be my guest Saku."

Sakura finished up her pancakes by the time Saruka made it down stairs. "See ya later Saru."

Saruka smiled as her sister left in her blades.

"She grew up pretty well considering what happened 2 years ago." Saruka commented.

Touya glared at Saruka. "You do know that it was your fault why that happened to Sakura two years back?"

Saruka glared at him back. "I tried fixing it didn't I?"

"So, does it look like it helped Sakura? She's being bullied now thanks to you."

"IT'S NOT MY FAULT KAI CHEATED ON HER!!!" She shrieked.

"Well, he DID cheat on her with you didn't he? You're lucky she forgave you."

Saruka shook her head. "What ever, we're leaving after I finish eating."

Touya nodded as he went to get the car started.

Saruka quickly finished her breakfast and left with Touya.

---School---

Yes, another dreadful day for Sakura Kinomoto. As I mentioned before, she was a nerd. Why? Reasons still unknown but will be revealed later.

Her sister was the Popular one and she the Nerd. She had Tomoyo, her second cousin and best friend.

And then there was just the normal ones, not as faithful as Tomoyo but they were still trustworthy, Rika Sasaki, Naoko Yanagisawa and Chiharu Miharu.

And of course Chiharu's boyfriend Takashi Yamazaki. Naoko and Rika remained single.

But as I said before, this is another dreadful day, with Popular Li Syaoran making fun of Sakura 24/7.

Li Syaoran, a Chinese boy, the future leader of the Li Clan, and the most wanted boy in the entire school.

He was Sakura's bully. Always purposely bumping into her in the hallways and yelling at her and saying that 'SHE' bumped into him.

Always tripping her, slamming her up against the locker, pulling her hair, sabotaging her food. And the fact that Sakura was a ballerina and that her eating habits should remain constant didn't help either.

Sakura shook her head. 'All this because I switched my identity? I hate Kai…' Sakura bitterly thought.

She bladed to her locker, which was luckily on the first floor and she changed her shoes. Sakura had calculus first, Saruka had Biology, Tomoyo had spare first and Syaoran, evil enough, and he had Calculus with Sakura.

But on a brighter note, Sakura's half father, more of a best friend, Eriol Hiiragizawa was coming today.

Tomoyo knew Eriol from when she visited her father, Kazuko, in London. Eriol sensed from the beginning that Tomoyo knew the Clow Mistress and had questioned it. More like hypnotized the info out of her.

Then when Tomoyo called up Sakura, Eriol kinda got into the conversation and introduced him self, since he was a rather lazy bum and didn't want to come to Tomoeda.

Both Sakura and Eriol saw pictures of each other, thanks to Tomoyo!!

Anyways, back to the story.

Sakura was walking towards her Calculus class, and whom does she notice? Li Syaoran.

But, he only lets CLOSE friends call him Syaoran, other than that; you either call him Li, or Xiao Lang, his Chinese name.

Sakura slowly walked around him. He looked at her, smiled and winked. Sakura shuddered. That was his way of 'I'll get you later' without actually talking.

Sakura walked into her calculus class and sat in her seat. But, she hated Calculus. Why? Syaoran sat to her right, and nobody sat to her left. She was in the last row and the person in front of her was in Syaoran's posse.

Going off track here but Sakura sat down and hummed silently. Eriol was arriving today and she couldn't wait to meet him.

Calculus class was considered 'Home Room' because it was first period and well, you listen to the morning announcements then.

The warning bell rung and everybody rushed in. Syaoran lazed to his seat and sat down, he smiled wickedly at Sakura.

"Hello sweetheart." He said bitterly.

Sakura didn't say anything back. She knew if she did, Syaoran would hold it against her even more.

Syaoran feigned hurt. "Aren't you gonna say anything back, dog?"

Sakura was a little hurt by the 'dog' part but what was she gonna do?

"Hi." She whispered.

Syaoran smiled. "That's better, stupid bitch."

Tears stung Sakura's eyes as she focused on the black board.

Syaoran laughed evilly as he turned around to talk to his friends.

Sakura sighed as final bell rung. The teacher, Ayah-sensei walked in and started their lesson for the day.

Half way through the period Sakura sensed a Clow card.

'Oh shit, not now.' She inwardly groaned.

She shut her eyes to concentrate on what card in was. It was watery, and by her senses, it was over flooding the pool by Penguin Park.

"Sensei." Sakura called.

Ayah-sensei turned around and smiled. "Hai Sakura?"

"May I go to the bathroom?"

She nodded as Sakura was about to leave.

"Probably gonna go fuck the toilet." Syaoran whispered so only she heard.

Sakura tried to hide the hurt as she descended the room.

She left the room and made a run for the main door. She summoned Fly and quickly flew out of there.

A few minutes after Sakura left, Syaoran too sensed a Clow Card.

Yes, Syaoran was the descendent of Clow Reed. He had come to Tomoeda Japan a year ago when the book was opened but figured out that the cards weren't released until a few weeks ago. Upon that year, he has earned the rightful title as 'Most wanted' in his high school.

He raised his hand. Ayah-sensei sighed. "What is it Li?" yes even she knew about his little 'Don't call me Syaoran' rule.

"I feel sick." He faked.

Ayah-sensei knew about his little acts to get out of class and they were normal. He had threatened to get her fired if she didn't let him go.

"No." She said as she turned around.

"Aw fuck this." Syaoran muttered as he got up walked out of the class.

"Li get back here."

Syaoran kept on walking.

"Li if you don't come back right now, I'll get you suspended."

"WOULD MY FATHER LIKE THAT?" He yelled back.

That always got Ayah-sensei.

Syaoran rushed outside and summoned his sword and left.

---Swimming Pool---

Sakura was still in her School Uniform as she dove into the swimming pool to get a drowning child. The lifeguard had tried but Watery had pushed him back.

Sakura fought all of the currents and arrived at the child.

By then, Syaoran arrived but couldn't get close enough to find the Mistress. He'd seen her 2 times before when she caught Shadow and Fly but never caught a glimpse of her, just her unusual costumes.

But now, he saw the female school uniform. The skirt and the shirt.

'My school.' He thought as he rushed towards the pool.

Sakura had got the kid and summoned fly to get him back to safety. He had gone unconscious and the rest of the people had rushed for safety, inside,so she was in the clear, nobody could see her.

She put him on a towel quickly performed CPR on him. The water was coughed and he was breathing on his own and fine. He was just knocked out is all.

She turned to the pool, here a water goddess form was there.

Syaoran had rushed towards the pool but didn't get sight of the girl that was about to capture it because Watery was blocking his view. But, for the first time in the last 2 captures he has heard her voice.

"I command you,' it was a strong voice, 'Watery, to return to your sealed form, under your new Mistresses' name, SAKURA!!!!"

Syaoran's eyes widened. 'No, it couldn't be… Sakura Kinomoto…?'

The Watery whirled around until it was zapped into Card Form. There stood Sakura, wet, panting and tired with a Pink card in her hand. She looked up and saw Syaoran, staring back at her.

"Oh crap." She whispered as she made a break for it. She jumped the fence and started running for Penguin Park.

Syaoran, being faster also jumped the fence and caught up to her in time.

"YOU'RE THE CLOW MISTRESS???" He roared as he caught up. He grabbed Sakura's wrist and held it tight, causing her to wince.

"WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!?"

Sakura didn't answer. Oh boy was she scared.

"ANSWER ME YOU WHORE!!!"

Sakura snapped.

"Why? Why should I tell you? Some bastard who always bullies me, should I really tell him? Should I be like, Oh hi Li, you know what, I'm the Clow Mistress. Oh hell, I don't even know how you CAUGHT me there!!"

Syaoran glared at her as he slapped her.

"Never,' he hissed, 'never talk to me that way again. As for you fucking information Sakura,' he said Sakura like it was a thing among things that doesn't deserve to be placed on earth, 'I'm the Clow master."

Sakura wretched her hand free. "So, I don't care, they're mine along with Kero and Yue."

Syaoran grabbed her wrist again but his fingers dug into her skin, causing a mark to appear.

"You will regret ever saying that Kinomoto." He hissed as he left back for school.

Sakura fell, sat on her ass on the pavement, crying her eyes out.

'No point in going back to school,' she thought bitterly, 'I'm going home.'

And going home, she did.

So, in future chapters, their history will be told.

As for now, please press the tempting purple button?

Lub, Sakura
