Hey minna-san! As if I'm not busy enough, I'm adding two more stories to my list. I really hope you aren't mad at me for taking SO LONG to update Only One I've Loved. It's pretty slow so far anyways. I'll try updating faster but the chapters will be a bit shorter. You know what's so weird about all of my stories? I either think of them in the car or at the mall. Maybe those are just my muses. I should visit the mall more often. Enough about me, let's go on with the story! P.S: this is an AU fic.
Disclaimer: I don't own CCS or any of the characters but I do own the story plot.
The NannyBy: Kawaii-chan
Chapter One: Job Offer
Key:
"Talking"
'Thoughts'
~~Scene Change~~
(K/N: Kawaii-notes)
Twenty-two year old Sakura Kinimoto wandered the streets of a city unknown to her. She had recently moved to Oxford after she found that her fiancé had cheated on her with the school whore. She had no one else in this world besides her best friend in Japan named Tomoyo. Tomoyo moved to America to be with her mother leaving Sakura alone. When she had found Mark, her former fiancé, she was the happiest girl in the world. He had been sweet to her at first and then after about two months he asked her to marry him. She had been delighted at first but soon found out that his proposal was fake and that it was all a scam to rob her of her virginity.
He had told her in the most gruesome way imaginable. He told her when she found him lying in bed with the neighborhood whore. He didn't even bother to get out of bed! She moved to Oxford to start her whole life over again. She wanted to forget the past that she went through.
Sakura shuffled to keep her coat on through the winter wind as she searched for shops looking for people to employ her. She sighed in frustration and continued to walk. Each and every single store was occupied and no one would offer her a job. She kept on walking and she decided to pick up a newspaper and look in there for a well paying job to support her. She quickly ran home to read it there because she new a winter storm would be brewing.
When she got home to her tiny one bedroom apartment, she made some hot chocolate and sat down. Sure enough, there were a few offers. She kept on looking and looking but the jobs barely paid anything and they needed hard work. She scanned the section until she found an ad looking for a nanny, it read:
Nanny needed. Must be good with children and must be responsible. I offer a place to stay and I cover food expenses. High pay. Please call 972-554-7092.
Sakura quickly grabbed the phone and dialed the number. The phone rang and a little girl picked up. "Hello, Li residence," she said sweetly. "Umm… I'm calling for the job," Sakura said to the girl. "Hold on for a second," she said. "ONIIII-CHAAAAN!!! IT'S FOR YOUUUU!!!" she yelled. Sakura winced at the sound but was soon greeted bye a husky voice. "Hello, Syaoran Li speaking," he said. "Yes, I'm Sakura Kinimoto. I was wonder about the nanny ad you put in the paper," Sakura said. "Ah, yes. Do you have any experience in child care?" Syaoran asked. "I used to baby-sit in high school for money," Sakura replied. "Okay, I'm not looking for much experience, I just want my sister to like you. Can you come tomorrow to meet her?" Syaoran asked. "Yes, what time and where?" "3:00 pm sharp at 1356 Oakmill Drive," he said. "Thank you very much. What is your sisters name?" Sakura asked.
"Ying-Fa."
~~Next Day~~
Sakura woke up to the sound of her annoying alarm clock and did her morning business. When she sat down for breakfast many questions filled her head. What was the girl going to be like? How old was she? She didn't sound very old. She was probably around seven or eight. What was her brother like? Syaoran Li sounded very familiar. Had she heard it before? So many questions filled her head that she decided to go out so that she could clear her head.
Sakura still had much of her money from Japan left with her so she decided to go shopping for a new out-fit to make a good impression. She entered a little boutique and a large selection of items. She looked around a bit and found the perfect out-fit. She got a pair of white bellbottoms and a sweaterish type pink turtleneck shirt. Along with that she got a dark jean jacket. She quickly rushed home and had lunch. She threw on her out-fit and combed out her shoulder length honey hair. She grabbed her purse and ran out the door. It was 2:45 and it would take less than ten minutes to get to the Li residence. Hopefully she'd be early.
She arrived at the residence and stared at it in amazement. This house was even bigger than Tomoyo's! Then it struck her; Syaoran Li was the big business tycoon who she kept on hearing on the news. She had heard of him but she never cared to see a picture. He was probably one of those old guys with younger sisters through a weird family thing. But he didn't sound old either. Maybe the phone made him sound young.
Even though it was freezing cold out side, Sakura started to sweat. If he was that rich, then he must have had a million people trying to get the job already! She nervously rang the doorbell and waited. Someone opened the door and smiled. She must have been Ying-Fa. She was so sweet! She had amber eyes and chestnut hair that was tied up in two pigtails that reminded Sakura of herself when she was younger. "Hello, are you going to be the new nanny?" she asked with anxious eyes. Sakura softened at the little girls curiosity. "Let's hope so," Sakura said as she knelt down beside Ying-Fa. Ying-Fa smiled a big smile and called out to her brother in that loud voice that made Sakura wince again.
"Hold on Ying-ying!" Syaoran yelled back. Sakura was now pretty sure that Syaoran was young. But still, how could someone young be a big business tycoon at this age? Sakura looked up and saw what appeared to be the most gorgeous man living. He had amber eyes like Ying-Fa and chestnut hair like her too. His hair was a bit messy and it gave him a boyish look. He was very tall but not too tall. Sakura could tell from white sweater that clung to his body that he was well built. Sakura saw no flaws what so ever in his appearance. She kept on staring until he made his way over to. "Welcome, I'm glad you could make it," Syaoran said with a serious face snapping Sakura out of her trance.
Ying-Fa tugged on Sakura's jacket motioning her to squat down. "You think my bother's cute don't you?" Ying-Fa said in a sly voice. Sakura blushed and Ying-Fa let out a giggle. Syaoran raised an eyebrow at the scene. "How old are you?" Sakura asked Ying-Fa. "She's seven," Syaoran replied for Ying-Fa. "And a half!" Ying-Fa added. Syaoran looked back at Sakura and motioned her to come in. "Please, have a seat," he instructed.
Sakura sat down in a chair across from Syaoran ran. Ying-Fa quickly rushed over and climbed on Syaoran's lap. "I'll just ask you a couple of questions," Syaoran said still in his serious voice. It was serious but it wasn't harsh. "Okay, how old are you?" Syaoran asked. "22," "Any other occupation?" "No" "Brothers? Sisters?" "None" "Pets" "None" Sakura answered. Syaoran thought about it for a moment and came up with another question. "How would you treat Ying-Fa?" Syaoran asked. "I'd treat her like my own sister," Sakura answered confidently. "Good, most of the other people said that they'd treat her like a 'young lady'" Syaoran said. "What do you think Ying-ying?" Syaoran asked in a warm voiced as he smiled at the young girl. Sakura stared at how gorgeous he looked when he smiled. She had never seen anyone as beautiful. "I think she's great! I want her to be my nanny, onii-chan!" Ying-Fa chirped. Then she climbed up a bit and whispered something to him. Sakura saw him turn pink. "Ying-Fa!" Syaoran sounded shocked. Again, Ying-Fa giggled. Syaoran looked at Sakura and turned serious again.
"You're hired. You start tomorrow."

Recommendations:
Confooosing Geezer Home by Anony Mouse. Rated R. This is the funniest story I've ever read. It's not your regular funny story. I mean this thing will make you laugh the whole way. It's about these old people who live together in a retirement home (AKA: the under cover mental hospital) how they live their days. My fav. characters were Mr. Williams, Ms. Marchant and Ms. Titison. Please read the story!!
The Marriage Demand by LicyBabe2002. Rated PG-13. This story is great! It's about Syaoran kind of marrying Sakura out of revenge. I can't really explain it but it is really good.
