What a mess!

Sakura, who is in desperate need of a job, lands one as a live-in maid for a certain someone who is none other than Li Syaoran. AU

I have had this idea for a while now, just with different characters, but in the end, the characters were more difficult to portray in this kind of plot, so i switched it to Syaoran and Sakura. The father in this story is kinda dim-witted, and Sakura is just a bit more mature, but it is just a fanfic, so they'll be OOC. Hope you don't mind.

I do not own Cardcaptor Sakura, as much as I would like to.

(Sakura is around 15)

Chapter 1

Sakura Kinomoto had a satisfactory, not necessarily perfect, but perfectly happy life. She wasn't rich, but wasn't dirt poor either. She lived in a quaint little house a few blocks from her school in a quiet neighborhood with her dad, Fujitaka and brother, Touya. Her best friend Tomoyo, a child star, lived in a big house, not as big as a mansion, but big nonetheless, and Sakura would visit often.

However, one day, Sakura came home to find that her dad had left her a letter saying that because he landed a major job in Austria, and wont be back for a rather long while, anytime from a whole two years to five.

Sakura's Pov

Dear Sakura, she started to read,

Daddy has gotten a job in a faraway place called Austria. I will be back in about another 2 years.

2 years? She thought. Are you kidding me? She kept reading.

Or, depending on how long it will take to complete the project, maybe 5 years.

Love, Dad

P.S. I will send you money through my bank account so you don't have to worry, ok!

Love, Dad

Sakura fainted.

I know that this chapter was extremely short, as is my other stories, but this one was only a page long. Not even, I think. I'll try and write more next time.
