THE HATE CARD
By KangaKilla
Dedicated to Amanda my dance partner
Chapter One: Hurt
Sakura watched the snowfall lightly to the ground and sighed, it had
been almost six years since she had found out she was a cardcaptor and
her life had changed. Li Syaoran, Kero, Yue, Ruby, all these new
people had entered her life, and even more bad things were happening
everyday. More cards were flying around, Kero had told Sakura that
there were people out there who had magical powers who were following
Clow Reeds example and making their own cards. Sakura brooded over
this news, she had enjoyed capturing cards, but it was taking over her
life, Syaoran had been summoned back to Hong Kong and had ended their
relationship over the phone, Sakura scrunched up her face, that memory
was still too painful and too fresh in her mind.
"Sakura, Madison is on the phone" Tori called out as Sakura pulled
herself together and moved away from the window to talk to Madison.
"Sakura?"
"Hi Madison" Sakura smiled at her friends constant cheerfulness.
"Guess what," Madison didn't even let Sakura Guess, "I have just
edited all the videotapes of you capturing cards and its all ready, so
if you want to come over, and you can bring Kero as well, I bet he'd
enjoy a good look at himself too."
"Sure, ill be right over"
"Ill see you soon then"
"Ok bye" Sakura smiled and walked up to her room to put a coat on then
woke Kero up before going back downstairs for some breakfast.
"Your up early today squirt!" Tori teased while placing pancakes in
front of her. Sakura made a face at him before cramming the maple
syrup soaked pancakes into her mouth.
"I'm going over to Madisons to watch some videos."
"Oh that's doing your homework" Tori smiled as he went back to the
kitchen. Sakura had been really down lately since the brat broke it
off with her, Tori clenched his fist, next time I see him ill give him
what for, he took the one I love most and almost destroyed her heart.
Tori looked back into the dining room at Sakura, she was back now, not
her normal happy self but she was getting there and he loved her for
it.
"You know Tori, you what? 24/25 now and still at home, when are you
going to get married and start having kids?" Sakura's voice rang out.
"Oh I don't know, "Tori sighed, "When the right one comes along ill
know" Sakura laughed
"I hope it's soon, then I can have as much fun as I like"
"Not likely to happen" Tori laughed, "Id come around everyday just to
tease you, it would be the best time of the day" Sakura laughed and
brought her empty plate into the kitchen to start washing.
"Ill do it for you" Tori said grabbing at the plate.
"And what do I have to do? Two dinner duties?" Tori shook his head
"Ill do it for free, I'm feeling generous today." Sakura smiled and
kissed her brother on the cheek
"Love you Tori" Then she ran out of the kitchen grabbed her bag,
strapped on her skates and headed off to Madisons.
Madisons house
Where is she? Madison asked pacing around near the door.
DING DONG
Madison smiled and opened the door, Sakura stood there, a red coat
with a fluffy collar and black pants on she looked gorgeous thought
Madison, next time we go card capturing ill create something that
looks like what she had on, it looks stunning but not too over the
top.
"Hello Madison, I'm sorry I'm late, me n Tori were talking." Madison
nodded and beckoned Sakura inside.
"You're going to love it, I've put together the whole thing with music
and special effect and everything. It goes for about two hours, it
could have gone on longer but I only took snippets from each capture
to give it this whole continues effect, it is fantastic, you look
fantastic" Sakura smiled, Madison was a great friend but she loved her
video camera so much Sakura constantly paid her out about having a
love affair with it. Madison lead Sakura into her room and they sat
down on the beanbags in front of the TV, Kero jumped out of Sakura's
bag as soon as they were in Madisons room startling both of them.
"Kero, I didn't know you were in my bag."
"Well what do you expect? You woke me up to say you were going to
Madisons and Madison always has good food." Madison laughed and pulled
a table closer to the beanbags, the table was covered in food, and
Kero zoomed over to it and stated munching on everything.
Madison and Sakura spent the whole day together watching the video
then talking about nothing then going over all the card capturing
videos and laughing at all the memories that came flooding back to
them. Madison purposefully deleted out most of Li so as not to remind
Sakura of him too much. It was almost dark before Sakura had to go
home, Madison offered to give her a lift home but Sakura said she
needed to get some fresh air.
Sakura walked through the almost deserted streets, the stars had come
out and it was a full moon tonight. The wind picked up flakes of snow
and they danced about her but Sakura paid no attention to the beauty
of the night, her mind was on only one thing, one person, Syaoran. A
tear escaped her eyes and slid down her cold cheeks, why had he called
it off? Why? Did I do something? She asked herself over and over, he
had never told her why, and that plagued her constantly, six months
without him, six months of misery. Sakura stopped in front of the Park
with the penguin slide, She smiled bitterly, this is where he had
kissed me that first time, this is the place where he had said
goodbye. Sakura shivered and pulled her coat around her more tightly
and began to move away from the park. A flitter in the shadows caught
her attention and she turned around and starred at the surrounding
darkness, someone was watching her she could feel it, feeling a bit
scared Sakura turned around and headed for home again, and she walked
as fast as she could to get away from that feeling which disturbed her
so.
Syaoran watched Sakura from the shadows, she was as beautiful as ever
he sighed, he saw her stop and look at the park and she stood there
for sometime not really seeing anything, and Syaoran looked at her
with such longing that he almost called out to her, but he knew better
then to do that. He just wanted her to smile at him with her sunshine
smile of hers that made you want to smile along with her. Syaoran saw
her turn to go home and he also turned to go his way but stopped as
she turned back to the park. For a split second he though he had been
seen, but no, she just turned and hurried away. As he watched her go
he realised how much pain he had put her though and for that he hated
himself, the elders, and especially Tri who had pleaded with the clan
to be his fiancé' she had destroyed all he had worked for.
Monday
BBBRRRRIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGGG
Sakura shot straight up in bed.
"Ohhhhh Kero why didn't you wake me up? I'm late" Kero looked at her
and smiled
"You always say that but you always, well most of the time make it to
school on time" Sakura glared at him while she got dressed, she
grabbed her bag and ran out of her room to the dinning room, she
grabbed a piece of toast, stuffed that in her mouth
"Grw Morwning Daf, Towi, bye" Sakura strapped on her skates and left
for school.
"Made it" Sakura said and sighed, another day of school. Sakura pulled
off her skates and put on her shoes before going to her Maths class.
"Sakura, you made it on time" Rita said running towards her. "Guess
who I saw outside, come-on you'll never guess" Chelsea and Nikii were
coming up, all had smiles on their faces, only Madison didn't come up
to Sakura, Sakura looked at her and saw the look on her face, Sakura's
heart sank. Rita, Chelsea and Nikii didn't seem to notice, they were
laughing and smiling.
"Come on guess guess" They chanted, Sakura made her way to her chair
and sat down.
"Li" She said, the girls screamed with excitement
"And he's changed so much, he's even taller then before and so
handsome, Meilin is with him too, ohh she is sooo beautiful, and nicer
too, and there's another girl with them too, very snobby she is." They
went on like that until the teacher came in. Madison tried to get
Sakura's attention but Sakura kept her head down, her heart breaking
all over again. Why was he back? And who was this girl? Had he gotten
over me so quickly? Sakura wondered, she wasn't listening to anything
that was going on around her. The door to their classroom slid open
and all noise subsided. Sakura came out of her ponderings to look, but
she knew who it was before she even saw.
"Class, two of our students have come back and we have a new exchange
student from Hong Kong as well, I hope you make them all feel welcome.
"Li, Meilin, you know where you sit and this is Tri Den and you can
sit near the front next to Rita." Sakura was staring at Li, he had
changed like the girls had said, but his eyes were what held Sakura,
there just for a second as he turned towards her there was a flicker
of pain in his chestnut eyes. Sakura turned away and kept her head
down while the class settled back down. Tri looked at the girl Sakura
and glared at her, she was beautiful, you couldn't deny that but she
also thought that she was beautiful, more so then Sakura. Tri flicked
her black hair over her shoulder and turned around to glare at Sakura
with her Brown eyes. Sakura looked at Tri and decided this was the
reason for Syaoran to dump me, he had found someone better and a tear
fell from her cheek and onto her maths book.
