Chapter One

"Be sure to call us sometimes okay sweetie?" Sakura Momomiya reminded to her daughter. "And stay away from boys!" Shintaro Momomiya interjected quickly with a serious spark in his eyes.

Ichigo Momomiya sweat dropped and turned to look at her mother. "Okay mom, dad! Thanks for all the help with moving in!"

Ichigo was finally starting her first year at Tokyo University to become a graphic designer. She wasn't exactly sure how she even got into the university considering she wasn't the greatest in most of her classes but it was a blessing that she did. She was currently saying her goodbyes to her parents after unpacking everything for her shared dorm room.

At Tokyo University they had three different dorm halls that worked like miniature apartments. There was the Mosaique Hall, Chroma Hall, and the Glass Hall. The rooming system worked very much like an apartment. The hall had about 30-40 'divisions' which each housed around eight people. In each 'division' there was a common room/ living room that linked to four bedrooms and each bedroom held two room partners. Currently Ichigo was in the 29th division on the second floor of the Chroma Hall.

"Oh I can't believe you're all grown up now!" Sakura cried. With one last hug from her parents and rant from her father, they bid their goodbyes and left Ichigo in her new dorm.

After standing alone in the white room for a few minutes to absorb everything in, she flopped down on her pink comforter with a breathy sigh.

Today was only the first of two days to move in. The school had decided to split up the moving in days so that it would be less crowded with only four people moving in and out of a division. Ichigo had been part of the first group to move in so only half of the room was decorated.

The room was a pretty generic one with white walls and carpet. Both sides of the room had a twin bed facing the door and a small black desk near the foot of the bed facing the perspective wall. On Ichigo's side (the left side)was a door leading to a tiny bathroom and on the opposite side was the door leading to the common room. She had stored all her belongings underneath her bed neatly (for now…). A cobalt blue Acer laptop sat on her desk along with her textbooks and a picture collage of her loved ones was hung up on her wall.

A soft tinkling of piano music began to play outside in the common room and next thing you know, Ichigo began to drift off her bed and into the common room curiously.

The common room was just a little bit larger than the dorm rooms. It was a bright crème color with windows around. The only furniture was a clearly cheap, but classy, dark brown (most likely fake) leather sofa and a coffee table. A good fourth of the room was a corner that acted as a kitchen with a sink, microwave, and a mini fridge. In another corner though, was an electric piano that was being played by a green haired girl around Ichigo's age.

Around the room were what she assumed was another two of her dorm mates. One was a foreigner with messy blonde hair and green eyes, and the other was a well-dressed guy with styled brown hair and amber eyes.

The piano music halted to a stop and the pianist opened her amber eyes, seeming to be startled after realizing she had an audience.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I must have disturbed you guys! I'll use headphones next time, I'm sorry." She apologized bashfully. "My name is Minami Takashi, but you can call me Takamina! I'm studying music."

"Don't worry pretty miss. You're both beautiful and talented, it's nothing you need to hide." The brunette guy flirted. "I am Kaoru Hiitachin and I'm studying fashion design."

Ichigo smiled brightly at Takamina and said, "I agree with Kaoru-san! There's no need to use headphones, it's totally fine. I'm Ichigo Momomiya. I'm studying to become a graphic artist."

"Aha, I agree with everyone. It's really nice.' The foreigner laughed. Surprisingly he was fluent in Japanese. "By the way, I'm Liberta Arcana."

After the introductions, everyone chatted about random things ranging from what their favorite pizza topping was, all the way to what the first day of university would be like.

At six o'clock, the group split the cost to order a pizza and had dinner together in the common room.

"So do you guys know who you're roommates are yet? I mean we're one half of the dorm mates but our actual roommate isn't here yet." Takamina asked as she set her slice of peperoni pizza down.

"I already know who my roommate is." Kaoru said. "It's my twin brother Hikaru."

"Oh that's cool! I don't know about mine yet though. Maybe it's someone we might already know." Ichigo said.

"The worlds a small place. It could be your worst enemy or your childhood crush or someone. Chroma hall doesn't sort roommates by gender, ya know?" Liberta mused while he stuffed another pizza slice in his mouth.

After eating the last of the pizza Ichigo decided to return to her room to shower and get some rest.

I wonder who my roommate is...

PLEASE READ. VERY IMPORTANT
Authors Note/ DISCLAIMER- So if you've ever seen AKB0048, Shugo Chara, La Storia Della Arcana Familiga, Ouran High School Host club, YOU MIGHT RECOGNIZE THESE CHARACTERS VERY WELL (I don't have any affiliation with the computer company Acer either. Or University of Tokyo). I won't really be writing about these characters very much but I thought it would be fun to put in some already well known anime/manga characters to do kind of a cameo thing. So Takamina belongs to AKB0048, Kaoru and Hikaru belong to OHSHC, Liberta belongs to LSDAF, and Amu and Dia belong to Shugo Chara. Of course the Momomiyas belong to TMM. So there will be more cameo characters in future chapters and I will also have a disclaimer for everything until after a while (further in I will just start saying I do not own ANY characters except for so and so who I have created from my own imagination). Please don't sue me! :)

More important details in next section. You can ignore but I strongly recommend you read it anyways :)

Real Authors Note though- So now that your up to date on disclaimers, I'm going to tell you my intentions of this story and just give some excuses... First note, is that I don't know what University is like. I don't know how dorms and classes work considering im a bit far from actually having to go there someday so I made all the details up. Maybe the dorms are too luxurious for a university in Tokyo, maybe it's not luxurious enough. Don't quote me on my details of this university that I don't know about. It would be cool if some people could fill me in on the details though but this is my imagination of university. Second note, this is not really a crossover. The characters from other series are all currently the same age to attend university and they are only doing a cameo so it won't affect the story very much if at all if you don't know them. I don't really plan to develop a backstory for them but just throw in minor details from time to time. Third note, I wasn't quite sure of what career path Ichigo would take but being a graphic designer seems pretty good currently. LAST NOTE (I promise), I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Please review with what you think and who else you think should cameo in some chapters (open to ideas! Doesn't have to be anime either) ;D Thanks for reading :)
