CHAPTER 1: IN NEED OF A JOB.

I sighed heavily, my eyes were starting to burned as I stared at the small section in the newspaper. I placed the paper down and rubbed my eyes.

"No luck," I muttered, as I yawned,"There's nothing in my price range." I felt someone wrap a blanket around me. A pair of violet eyes met my own. "Oh, Tomoyo I thought you were asleep already."

"What are you doing up so late, Sakura?" the black haired girl said in a sweet and smooth voice. I handed her the newspaper.

"Looking for a place to live." I stood up from the table and stretched my arms out. "But I haven't had any luck yet." Tomoyo looked at me with sad eyes.

"Sakura, I told you that you that you can stay here with me as long as you need to."

"I know, but it's already been three months, and I can't keep being a freeloader, not after how much you've done for me ever since Toya died." I smiled at her. She smiled back and gripped my hands.

"I honestly don't mind you being here. In fact I love the fact that you're here! I get to see your cuteness everyday!" Tomoyo wrapped her arms around me and rubbed her head against mine. She held me so tight that I could barely breathe. After a little while, Tomoyo let me go and yawned loudly. "Besides, you need a job before you can get somewhere to live."

"Yeah, you're right." I felt bad for Tomoyo, everyday she goes to work as the kingdom's priestess, predicting things that always come true, and gets paid near to nothing. She could barely afford this small hut like house and food for herself. When Toya, my older brother, got sick and died, I came here she had to get a second job as a waitress at a local restaurant called The Cat's Eye.

I had only been there once and I remember seeing a very tall and scary looking guy with black hair and red eyes. He looked like some sort of guard or something, and he had an angry look splashed across his face. Tomoyo said that he's actually a really nice guy, except he has a short temper. She also told me that he always dealt with the customers who try to grab her. That made me happy knowing that there was someone looking out for her.

"You know, The Cat's Eye is looking for waitresses. I can ask Kurogane to get you an interview." Tomoyo said. I shook my head.

"You've already have done so much for me, the least I can do is look for a job myself."

"Are you sure?" I nodded. "In that case, we'll go out into town tomorrow and look for a job. I'm sure there will be lots of places looking for such an adorable girl like you!" Tomoyo started to hug me again. "Well we should get to sleep, we've got a busy day tomorrow!"

Tomoyo quickly went to her room and closed the door. I put the newspaper away and turned off the light as I made my way to my room. After getting changed I quickly got into bed, wrapped myself in my blanket, and fell asleep almost instantly.

The morning came quickly, and no sooner than I had woken up, Tomoyo and I were walking around town. I rubbed my eyes and yawn as we walked, even noon was still too early for me to be up.

"Do you know how hard it is to wake you up in the morning?" Tomoyo asked.

"Yes." I replied, yawning again," Toya told me all the time."

"Oh, it doesn't matter! You're adorable!" Tomoyo exclaimed as pointed out a small souvenir shop. "Let's go ask someone in there if there is a job open for you." she ran up to the tiny shop, I followed her lead.

Inside the shop were rows and rows of colorful objects that wrapped around the entire shop. Tomoyo went directly up to the shop keeper, a young beautiful woman with very long and flowing black hair.

"Excuse me." Tomoyo said to the woman. The woman looked up to her, her eyes were red, like the man at The Cat's Eye. " I'm Tomoyo, and that cute young lady over there is Sakura," she gestured toward me with her hand. "She's looking for a job, you see, and this is just the perfect little shop for a perfect little Sakura."

The woman looked over to me, our eyes met and I felt a sense of familiarity with the woman. She spoke," Indeed. Nice to meet you, my name is Yuko."

Yuko? I thought, recognising the name.

"As you can see, I run this small little shop. It holds many objects of which are used in a trade." Yuko said as she strode around in the shop.

"A trade?" I asked," What type of trade?" There is something really familiar about what she is saying.

Yuko laughed, "That's classified, my dear Sakura."

"What does that mean?" Tomoyo asked, I noted her sudden change of tone.

"That's none of your concern, Miss Tomoyo." Yuko turned back to face me. "I'm afraid that I am not looking for any employees." She turned back to a door "Watanuki."

A tall, thin, and rather weak looking boy appeared from the door. He pushed up his glasses and glared at Yuko.

"Yes?" he said in an irritated tone

"Do you know that necklace that I have up on the fire place?" The boy nodded, "Bring it here, I need it." The boy disappeared then shortly reappeared with a small magenta box. He handed it to Yuko and left the room again. Yuko made her way over to me and opened the box. She pulled out a beautiful necklace with a pendant that had some sort of heart shaped design on it.

"Wow!" I exclaimed, "It's beautiful! Tomoyo come look!" I looked up to see Tomoyo was nowhere in the room. "Where did she go?"

"She's in the back with my assistant. I think she found something that caught her attention."

"You mean like a souvenir?" I questioned.

"Hahahaha! My my, how innocent you are!"Yuko laughed at me, but I couldn't understand why.

I turned my attention back to the necklace. "It really is beautiful."

"I'm glad you think so. If you want it, you can have it."

"R-really?!" Yuko nodded, "How much is it?"

"It's already been paid for." I stared at her in disbelief.

"What do you mean? Someone else has paid for it?" She nodded again.

"They paid for it especially for you."

"Who would do something like that?" Yuko looked at me for a little bit, then smiled.

"Someone you may not remember now, but will be reunited with soon."

"I don't understand..." I said.

"Your brother also helped paid for it. It was supposed to be a birthday present for you."

"Toya did? For my birthday?" I smiled at the thought that Toya would worry about my birthday even with his illness. Yuko placed the necklace around my neck.

"Perfect!" she exclaimed, clapping her hands together. It kind of reminded me of Tomoyo's actions.

I glanced down to the necklace and held the pendant gently. It did look as though it was made for me. Thank you, Toya. I thought, knowing that he would be able to hear me from where he is.

"I think it's about time for you to get going!" Yuko said suddenly. She started to push me out the door.

"W-wait! What about T-Tomoyo?!" I asked.

"She'll be fine! Now you must hurry up, otherwise you won't make it in time!" Yuko opened the door.

"What do you mean?!" I asked, trying to prevent her from literally throwing me out the door. Yuko suddenly brought her lips close to my ear.

"Remember, Princess, there is no coincidence in the world, only 'Hitsuzen,' or the inevitable." and with that I was shoved out the door and the door slammed shut.

What was that about? I thought, as I began to walk, my eyes still glued to the door. And did she just call me 'Princess'?

As I tried to figure out what had just happened, someone yelled something to me, but I couldn't make out what they were trying to say. Not that it would have really helped, before I knew it, I was hit by something big and heavy.

While I still had some consciousness, I could not move. My vision was extremely blurry, I couldn't make out any shapes within the white mass that I was seeing. I suddenly felt a warmth wrap around me. The warmth was so familiar, but I couldn't figure out where I had felt it before. I felt my body be lifted up and began to move. This warmth... there's only one person it could possibly be...Syao- Everything went dark.

Chapter End.
