Author’s Note: I was in a mood to write something so here it is.
DISCLAIMER: I don’t own Cardcaptors or InuyushaThey belong to CLAMP and Rumiko Takahashi. The characters from those two series don’t belong to me either. But the other characters DO belong to me.

Chapter 1: The Fly
“SAKURA!” shouted a stuffed animal. (A kawaii one too if I might add, it can also talk and move. XD)
Kero rushed forward and caught Sakura by the back of her frilly costume and gently lowered her to the ground. Tomoyo, who had been taping, immediately rushed over to check if Sakura was hurt.
“Ahahaha…thanks Kero-chan.” said Sakura.
“You owe me TWO puddings for that.” stated Kero.
“WHAT?! Are you saying that pudding is the same value of my life?”
“No, I me—“
“Good, because if that was what you me—“
“—ant that that pudding was more important than you.” finished Kero.
“—ant, than NO more pudding for YOU!” declared Sakura.
“NANI?!?! NO! MY PUDDING!” wailed Kero.
“Hmph…” Sakura crossed her arms and turned her head away.
“Sakura-sama is so beautiful. She is the most worthy of us all.” Kero was hovering over Sakura and making the puppy face.
“Fine…but you’re getting fat!”
“YEA!!! Wohohohoho! YUMMY PUDDING!”
“Ano, if you two wouldn’t mind, the Clow Card is still here.” declared Tomoyo as she interrupted the two.
“HOEEE! I completely forgot about the Fly Card!” cried Sakura. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Concentrating, she pinpointed the card’s aura. Her eyes snapped open as she gave chase. Pulling our her necklace, she chanted,
O Key that holds the power of the darkness
Reveal your true form before me
I, Sakura, command thee under our contract
RELEASE!
Gripping her staff, she started running at full speed towards Penguin Park.
‘Come on! I have to get there before the Fly catches up with me!’ Sakura thought urgently. She looked back to make sure that the enormous bird was still following her. Satisfied that it still was, she turned her attention up front again and was happy to see the penguin slide’s crown coming into view. Sakura gritted her teeth as she urged herself to run faster towards the exercise bars. She hoisted herself up and twisted around the bar until she got enough kinetic energy. Sakura let go of the bar and shut her eyes as she went flying through the air that her mark was accurate. Fortunately for her, it was accurate and she landed on the bird’s back. She tumbled back a few times due to the strong wind before she managed a good grip. Pulling out Windy she tossed it forward and cried out, “Windy! Form a binding chain!” Sakura swung her staff down and struck the card.
A woman with long pale yellow hair billowing behind her and great butterfly wings appeared. It flew ahead and started wrapping the bird in its hold. Once the bird was trapped, Sakura stood in front of the trapped bird and chanted, “Return to your true form, CLOW CARD!” and swung her staff down again. The great bird threw its head back as it’s took a misty form and unraveled in multiple wispy strands and formed a card, The Fly. Sakura caught it as it floated towards her and did a peace sign facing Tomoyo’s camera.
“AH! YOU LOOK SO KAWAII!” exclaimed Tomoyo, “Write your name on the card so I can tape it.”
Sakura obediently took out a pencil and wrote, ‘S-A-K-U-R-A’ on the card. Kero fly over and said, “Now strike the card with your wand Sakura!”
Sakura tilted her head and asked, “Why?”
“Just do it!”
“Hoooeee….fine. FLY!” Sakura struck the card with her staff and before her eyes, the little wings on her staff grew until it became huge flapping wings. Sakura swung herself up and took a ride in the night.
“THIS IS COOL!” cried Sakura as she steered the staff to Tomoyo’s direction before going into a steep dive. She pulled up at the last second and landed gracefully.
Tomoyo turned off her camcorder and went star-mode. (You know, head tilted, one hand to your face, and stars in your eyes.) “THAT WAS KAWAII! My costume was the perfect touch for this! You’re so heroic, Sakura!” Tomoyo squealed.
“Eh…hehehe…” Sakura laughed nervously.
“So what cards have you captured?” asked Kero.
“Um…let’s see…I have the Bubbles, Dash, Fly, Windy, Big, Erase, Float, Flower, Glow, Illusion, Jump, Libra, --“
“WHAT! WHEN DID YOU GET THE LIBRA!” Tomoyo cut in.
“Oh, my dad found it on one of his archeological digs and gave it to me as a gift.” explained Sakura.
“Then why didn’t you call me over so you could wear one of my costumes and I could tape you when you sealed it?” Tomoyo whined.
“Um…cause there wasn’t really any action?”
“Oh…I will rue this for the rest of my LIFE! The one called upon to gather the Clow Cards and save the world from a certain doom! Sakura’s secret work that preserves the peace in this town! AND I COULDN’T CATCH IT ON TAPE! AND WITHOUT ONE OF MY FLASHY COSTUMES! Ohhhh….I will swear upon my life that I won’t ever miss another capture! KERO-CHAN! You must promise to contact me whenever you sense a Clow Card. If you do, I’ll have sweets for you!”
“WAHOO!!! SWEETS! YOU GOT YOURSELF A DEAL THERE TOMOYO!” Kero cried.
“Hoooooeeeee…..” mumbled Sakura.
“So continue with the cards you have captured!” Tomoyo said.
“Okay…let’s see…Libra, Light, Dark, Little, Lock, Maze, Mist, Move, Rain, Sand, Shadow, Silent, Sleep, Song, Storm, Sword, Through, Time, Voice, and Wood. “ Sakura finished listing off the cards she had.
“That was 31 cards and there are 52 cards total. So you have one 21 more to collect.” Kero cheered.
“Good luck with the rest Sakura-chan.” whispered Tomoyo.
Sakura nodded her head and said, “I promised to collect all the Clow Cards and I intent to keep my promise.” She hung the key around her neck again and grabbed Tomoyo’s hand. “WE HAVE SCHOOL TOMORROW!”
“Oh no! I have to call my bodyguards to pick me up! Do you want a ride home?”
Sakura nodded her head furiously.

Unknown to them, two pairs of eyes had been watching them the entire time. One set was amber, the other was sapphire.
The pair with eyes that are sapphire-colored smirked as he dissolved the image with a wave of his hand.
The mirror went blank and he murmured, “Almost there Sakura-chan.”
------
The amber-eyed person simply narrowed his eyes and vowed, “The Clow Cards will come into my possession.”
