I know its over done, but i just wanted to start with something easy.

READ AND REVIEW!

Disclaimer: I don't own Card captors... but I wish I did. If I did, Syaoran and Sakura would have... I dunno, but they would have gone out in the series, at least.

Chapter 1

The Start

Sakura was running as she had never ran before. She was running throught the rain, trying to get to her friend's house on time. They were having a month-long sleepover, not only to celebrate the holidays, but also Sakura's sixteenth birthday. It was at Meiling's house purely because thay didn't have the space at Sakura's. They would have had it at Tomoyo's, but her mother caught the cold, and they couldn't risk everyone getting sick. So Meiling had volunteered her place. There was only one person that Sakura didn't want to be there.

She skidded to a halt outside the massive door, and rang the doorbell. The door flew open to reveal an excited Meiling, and an anxious Tomoyo. Sakura found that odd. Tomoyo and Meiling had seemed to switch roles. She wondered why, but found out when she walked into the lounge room.

"You'll be late to your own funeral." Syaoran said smugly, folding his arms in an agressive manner, knowing what was coming.

"Piss off, Syaoran!" Sakura barked, and rounded on Tomoyo, "What the hell is he doing here?" she whispered menacingly, but Syaoran heard her.

"My parents are sick, too. I've been here all week." Syaoran answered her question. She groaned. Just her luck.

Time should be taken to explain their relationship. Sakura and Syaoran had been rivals ever since Syaoran had stepped foot in Reedington when they were ten years old. For the last six years, they had been forced together, due to school, mutual friends and their families. There has been nothing but competition between the pair of them, and the people around them never make it any better. There was never any really bad hostility between them, but still... Sakura's current goal was to beat him in basketball, which was proving to be extremely difficult. His was to beat her in languages. Also very difficult. Anyway... back to the story...

"Damn!" She yelled, and a string of unrepeatable obscenities followed. When she had calmed down, Meiling gave her the rest of the bad news.

"Um... Sakura?" She said tentively, "We've got a slight problem."

"What?" Sakura asked in a low and dangerous growl.

"Um... well..." Meiling faltered, "We have too many people. There are nine people, counting myself, and only four spare bedrooms."

"So?" Sakura asked, not liking where this was going.

"Well, all of you will have to pair up, and share a room." Meiling said quietly, and Sakura did the unthinkable. She laughed.

"OK. So who's sharing with who?" She asked. Meiling's face brightened with her reaction. Maybe this wasn't going to be so bad, after all.

"Well, we haven't decided yet, but I know how we're gonna decide. We were just waiting for you to get here." Sakura nodded, and Meiling went on, "OK, you are gonna draw names out of the hat. Two people per room. My name isn't in there, because I have my own room. No switching, either. Those are the rules." Everyone nodded, and Meiling held up a hat. Sakura reached up into it, pulling out two names. She looked at them, and smiled.

"Rika and Chiharu." She announced. She put her hand into the hat, and picked out two more names.

"Takashi and Tomoyo." Tomoyo and Takashi groaned, and looked at each other. It was a very public secret that they despised each other. They put up with each other, though, because both of them were friends with Sakura. Sakura smirked at her friend, and pulled out the next two names.

"Eroil and Noako." Eroil and Noako shrugged. They were good enough friends, and besides, Eroil was going out with Tomoyo. Sakura drew out the two last names, not realising who was left.

"Me and..." She screamed an extremely offensive obscenity. Meiling and Tomoyo peered over Sakura's shoulder, and they both looked at each other.

"Uh-oh..." Tomoyo said.

"Not good..." Meiling finished. Syaoran just caught on, and also swore very loudly and vulgarly.

"No way am I sharing a room with her!" He jumped to his feet, "I would rather sleep in the gutter!"

"I'll hold you to that." Sakura said menacingly. She was not a happy camper. She just hoped that she could survive the next few weeks.

"Can I swap with Takashi?" Syaoran tried desperatly. Meiling giggled nervously.

"Sorry, Syaoran." She said, stepping away from Sakura, just to be safe, "No changing rooms. That's the rules."

"Well then I'll go home!" He shouted. Sakura could only be so lucky in her dreams.

"Your parents said that you have to be here until they are better." She said haltingly.

"Shit." Sakura and Syaoran both said at the same time. This was going to be hell.

Like I said, I know it's overdone... I just wanted an easy start. Please r&r!
