Card Captor Sakura Fan Fiction ❯ Roommates ❯ I can't live like this!!! ( Prologue )

Chapter 1

Sakura's POV

Hmm. No, something's not quit right here. Maybe if I move this thing here, and the couch there… That's better. Whoever my roommate is, he or she should be lucky I fixed almost everything in here. With the help of the power card and Tomoyo, of course. It was really nice of her to look for an apartment for me.

I wanted to kiss her when I saw this place. The kitchen was on left from the door. A brick fireplace separated the kitchen from the receiving room. Two rooms facing each other were on either side of the living room and in front of it is a French sliding door leading to the porch. It had a wonderful view of the school I go to. I took it right away, even though it's rather big for two people.

I decided I should wait for my roommate, so we can decide on the rest of the decoration together. She - I'm assuming my suite mate's a girl- was supposed to be here this morning when I arrived but the lady in charge here said she came all the way from China. If she didn't show up I'll be living here all by myself.

I just finished arranging and rearranging the plants in the veranda when I heard a knock on the door. "I'll be right there in a minute," I announced. After doing the last adjustments to the room, I checked my appearance on the living room mirror and headed for the door. I placed my hand on the knob and plastered a smile on my face. This is it…

Normal POV

"Sorry I'm late. My flight got cancelled…" Li Syaoran started, dropping his heavy luggages to the floor. He finally looked up, and then added "Sakura?!?"

"Hi. So, are you helping my room mate move in?" Sakura asked, shyly.

"I live here. No, I think I live here… Suit 2A, Harvard Building?" Syaoran checked the address the Elders of his clan gave him.

"No this is the place" Sakura assured him.

"Shit! I should have known…" hissed a very pissed Syaoran. He shouldn't have trusted those old rattle heads. "I thought you were staying with Tomoyo?"

"She's staying with her mother" Sakura wasn't sure she could live like this. She felt like she'll pass out in 10 minutes. It never occurred to her that her new suit mate was feeling the same.

Take it easy... Calm down… You know you couldn't do this, Syaoran. There's still time to back out…but not with my budget. He stole a glance at Sakura who was looking down, biting her lower lip. He sighed. Well, that's not so bad. You know you like it.

When they were finally settled in the couch, Sakura was first to voice out. "This weird. Living together and stuff…"

Syaoran just nodded checking the place out. The silence freaked Sakura out. She wished her new suit mate would be more talkative.

"So…when do you want to go shopping for stuff in here?"

"Whenever" He got up and slammed the door behind him.

-Sakura's Room-

Sakura held her pink cell phone to her ear, waiting for her best friend to pick up.

"Sakura?" a singsong voice answered from the other line.

"Tomoyo!!! Guess who my roommate turned out to be?"

"OH MY GOD! BEN AFFLECK?!?"

"No,"

"Josh Hartnett?"

"No, silly" Sakura rolled her emerald pole, shining with excitement. "Waayyyy better… Li Syaoran!"

"Get out!!! And I was feeling sorry for you, you lucky girl" Tomoyo exclaimed. `Oh, fate'

"But Tomoyo, by the way he sounded awhile ago I don't think I'll survive here and neither will he"

"Sakura, just think…how many girls in all of Japan are rooming right now with their crush since 4th grade?!?"

"I know…I'm damn lucky but if he doesn't want to then it's alright"

"It's more than okay," she urged, confidently. "Just give it a try and it won't be that bad"

"You're right," she sighed "but I guess I'll just have to spend as little time at home as possible. Everything will be fine as long as I keep my ass out of his way."

"Believe me Sakura, you'll enjoy every minutes of it as much he will" her best friend said slyly. She didn't realize how much of an understatement her words were.

-Next Part, Home Decors-

"How about this?" Sakura suggested. Behind her was rose-colored wallpaper matching her entire outfit that day. She had on a hot pink sleeve-less top that complemented the curves of her lithe, sensuous bodice and highlighted the porcelain smoothness of her skin. Her gorgeous face was slightly flushed. Her breath-taking emerald eyes contained all of her excitement. The pink bandana on her hair harmonized with her honey-brown locks that stopped a few inches below the shoulders and waving slightly at the ends. Her flare pants hugged her legs perfectly but not too tightly. Pink and purple beads formed a small butterfly at the back of it.

"How about green?" he answered back with a question, checking-out the display behind the one Sakura was standing.

"That green?" she looked over to where Syaoran was looking. "Are you sure you want our place to look like a jungle?"

"And you want a beauty parlor or a doll-house for an apartment?"

"What's wrong with that?" She pouted cutely, but she didn't realize this of course. "It's better than your jungle. I'll have trouble looking for you in the place with all the green your wearing."

He examined himself quickly on one of the mirrors the mall had. He was feeling kinda hot that morning so he decided upon his favorite forest green sleeve-less top and black short pants revealing his manly legs. His top showed off his muscular arms he earned from years of training, on the left was a dark green tattoo of the Chinese symbol of his real name, Xiao Lang meaning `little wolf'. Thought it may not seem obvious, but he did try to fix his naturally messy chestnut brown hair since he wanted to impress a certain young lady who be spending the entire day with him.

"It's not so bad, is it?" he shrugged.

`When you're wearing it, it's not' was what she wanted to say. Instead she sarcastically said, "Of course, Tarzan"

"Whatever, Barbie" but for him, she was a lot more striking than that.

After an hour and a half of endless fighting, arguing and teasing, the two finally agreed upon a simple ivory wallpaper. The maroon carpet that covered the entire floor except their bedrooms was an easy decision since by that time; Syaoran was finally too tired to argue.

To be continued…
