~Chapter Three~

It was a rainy Saturday and Sakura, Meling, Tomoyo, Yue, Syaoran, and Eriol all stayed inside their own apartments. The six seldom talked to each other and if they did all they were doing was fighting. (Well the girls talked to each other and the guys talked to each other. You know what I mean ^_^)

Down the street from their apartment building, a young woman walked down the sidewalk, getting soaked. She spotted a phone booth and lid in. She opened the phone book and skimmed through it she stopped at a name and started to dial the number. She suddenly saw another name and froze. She hung up the phone and ripped out the page. She took a good look at it and shoved in her pocket and stepped out of the phone booth. She continued to walk down the sidewalk.

Meling, Tomoyo and Sakura sat in their apartment eating their take-out dinner and watching TV, when there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it." Meling offered. She put her plate on the table next to her and walked over to the door. She opened and found a young woman, slightly older then herself. She had brown hair worn down to her shoulder blades with some of it formed into two braids. She was soaked so Meling guessed she had walked for quite a while.

"Hey girl!" The girl smiled cheerfully at her. She bounced up and down as if she was crazy. Meling slammed the door on her. (She wasn't going to let a psycho in the apartment.)

"Who was it?" Tomoyo asked as she and Sakura walked to the door.

"It was some crazy girl. She was a big weirdo." Meling rolled her eyes. "Seemed very sugar high."

"Oh no." Sakura yelped. "Did this girl have brown hair, some in braids, some not?" She asked.

"Yup." Meling nodded. "How did you know?"

"Nakuru……" Sakura sighed and dropped her head. "Open the door." She told Meling.

Meling turned the doorknob and the girl poked her head in. "SAKURA!" She smiled. She ran over and hugged her tightly. "Jeesh, your friend was really rude." She stopped hugging her and put her hands on her hips.

"I'm sorry Nakuru, you scared Meling a bit." Sakura sweatdropped.

"Who? Little old me?" Nakuru pointed at her face.

"Sakura, who is this?" Tomoyo asked.

"Um, well, when I was a freshman in the private high school I went to, Nakuru was a senior." Sakura explained. "We were good friends."

"Right!" Nakuru smiled yet again.

"So what are you doing here?" Sakura asked.

"Well I got kicked out of my apartment, something about giant cockroaches, and I was going to call home to get my mom bring me home, but I saw you had an apartment nearby, so I decided I would see if you would let me pay part of the rent. What do you say?" Nakuru blurted out.

"Um……." The other three girls said and cringed. They were still kind of grossed out about the giant cockroaches. The then formed a huddle and discussed the idea. "Well she's not that bad, once you get used to her." Sakura shugged.

"Ya, I guess that's probably true." Tomoyo nodded.

"Not to mention we'll have to pay less rent." Meling pointed.

"Right." Sakura and Tomoyo agreed.

"So she can stay?" Sakura asked.

"Yes." Meling and Tomoyo nodded.

They walked out of the huddle and faced Nakuru. "Have you reached a verdict?" Nakuru asked with a giggle.

Sakura nodded. "Yes. You can stay."

"Alright!" Nakuru threw her hand in the air. "Now can one of you drive me back to my old place to pick up my stuff? I kinda lost my car." She scratched her head.

The other girls fell to the ground and sweatdropped.

Sakura parked her car in the apartment garage and she and Nakuru walked to the trunk to take out her stuff and brought it upstairs. They had just ridden over to Nakuru's old apartment.

When they reached the apartment door Yue and Syaoran emerged from
