Full House

House No. 1: Being Jobless

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon in Tomoeda, Japan, and the once "people-less" streets are starting to be crowded again. This was a time to go home – school dismissals and office dismissals too. Yet there is a certain person who doesn't seem to find it comforting to go back home.

"Taidama.." The two metal and glass doors opened and closed, revealing a Victorian style house with two floors. It was situated separately from the urbanized city of Tokyo, having a mini park around it and a shoreline near it. It has a notably white ceiling on top and two distinct Corinthian style pillars to support the second floor. The house did not seem to host too much furniture, giving it a free and spacious look, making people immediately feel at home upon entering it.

"OH! Sakura-chan! Back so soon? So, how was work?" A young lady in her mid-twenties suddenly appeared from the kitchen, practically running towards the person who had just been dreading to be back home at the doorway. She hosted a messy, wavy shoulder length brown dyed hair and pale skin. She had flour almost over her body and an apron too, making it obvious that she was from the kitchen. Her name was Rika Sasaki.

"Eto… Rika-san… today was my last day at my part time job at the food shoppe.." The girl tearfully replied. She was Sakura Kinomoto, a young woman at the age of twenty-three, single, and who had a very notable straight light brown shoulder-length hair tied up in a bun in such a disorganized manner.

"Soo desu. Taihen desu ne?" Rika softly patted Sakura's back sympathetically. Sakura just sighed, restraining herself from crying once more. "Demo.. I had to prepare something up for dinner. It's gonna be very special tonight!"

"Special?" Sakura repeated, evidently confused on what her supposed friend is babbling about. She had just confided her news of being jobless and not to mention, penniless for the following week, and now Rika's saying of having something special tonight. Sakura's eyebrows met in confusion. What the heck is special tonight? I'm currently jobless for goodness' sakes!

But Rika remained oblivious to Sakura's current reaction and had supplied her with a blunt answer upon her daydreaming as her face began to turn crimson red. "Ahhhhhhhh.. Terada-airen's coming to sweep me off my feet once again.. must prepare something special for dinner.."

"NANI! HIM!" Sakura's voice raised two pitches higher than that of the before. Terada Yoshiyuki, of course, was Rika's five year boyfriend – a currently jobless man and a heavy eater too. "Didn't he just ate with us a day ago!" Sakura, obviously, hated the thought of having Terada as a companion in any "food session." He had always eaten food as if there wasn't any tomorrow to look forward to, thus leaving the two ladies to live eating instant noodles and canned foods for the next few days.

"Erm.. yah.. but he was kinda busy with work… so he doesn';t have the time to cook himself.. and he's also short… soo.. uh.." Rika stammered as Sakura was already restraining herself to shake Rika into reality. Oh dear… this is not going according to plan.. She thought as she laughed nervously.

"Tell him not to come then! That you're busy! We have no food! ANYTHING just to keep him out of this house! Don't ever let him eat dinner here!" Sakura angrily barked as her anger raised a notch higher by each second.

However, the next few words made Sakura more of an erupting volcano. "But… he's coming over in five minutes.."

"FIVE MINUTES! "Sakura hollered as her hands, already waving franticly in midair, knocked a flower vase beside her. Fortunately, Rika managed to catch it before it met the floor in a second';s time.

"C'mon.. Sakura-chan… he's not all bad…"

"Argh!" Sakura then spun around and stomped her way up to the staircase and into her room with a door slam behind her as Rika winced upon hearing this.

"That means it's the two of us eating dinner alone again, Terada-san! Lalalalala…" Rika happily clapped her hands after returning the vase back and entered the kitchen, humming to resume her work, just as before Sakura had returned.

"Arigatoo gozaimasu. Sayonara."

Another click again.

There was a deep, frustrated sigh heard afterwards. Angry scratches of a pen on paper were heard.

Sakura, in her summer casuals, growled in anger as she hosted her two feet up into the comfortable sofa in the receiving room. "Grr.. why is it hard to find a permanent job here! Down with the discrimination…" Then she threw the pen away and irritably crumbled the once straight sheet of paper into a small ball.

"So unfair!" She screamed in annoyance. Echoes were heard inside her house since she was the only one around as of the moment, and Rika was obviously preoccupied with Terada in the urban city once again anyway.

She sighed as she picked up the newspaper that was lying on the marble floor and began to read it lazily. "Today's Japan's Hot Star Li Syaoran has signed a contract with the famous AvAx Company to film a new drama to be released in the mid-year of 2005. The site of filming is at…." Her eyes scanned the headline. Beside the big bold words, was a wallet size picture of the said star – a tall guy with chocolate brown hair and passionate amber eyes. His hair was artistically messed up, giving accent to his masculine face. His frown was more of an attractive one, rather than that of someone who is disappointed, drawing myriads of women to his feet.

"Well, he is good-looking… but still.. the rich kid with stuck-up gaki-ness of this person stands out.." She found herself commenting to herself as she read further. However, a few minutes later, a loud bang was heard from the door, making Sakura jump in surprise, dropping the newspaper to the floor.

"EY! What makes you think you have the right to barge in like that!" She demanded as she made long strides towards the door. Hoe! Why didn't Rika-san lock the door properly before leaving! Her mind began to make silent complaints as she carefully approached the door.

"Sakura-chan!" Came the ever-familiar greeting. And before the minute hand made its move on the wall clock, Sakura was already in Rika's tight yet warm hug. Behind her was Terada, a man with spiky brown hair and had just entered his early thirties.

"Rika-san… you're… cutting… off… my… oxygen… supply…." Sakura gasped as her face began to turn red.

"Whoops.. sorry!" She immediately released the already tomato-colored Sakura from her grasp. In a few minutes, Sakura returned to her original color.

"Demo… Rika-san.. why are you so excited all of the sudden?" Sakura asked in bewilderment. From her perspective, as based on how Rika had been acting, there must be something good to be told from her.

Rika took a deep breath as her hand held Terada's tightly. "Terada.. you say it.."

"No, love, you say it.."

"It's your doing! It's your right to say it to her.."

"Uh uh… love, she's more closer of a friend to you.. so you say it.."

Sakura twitched in irritation. This "soon-to-be-a-love-quarrel" is getting nowhere.

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"YES!"

"You SAY it!"

"No, YOU SAY IT!"

"So, what is IT?" Sakura butted in with growing impatience from the "it" these two are supposed to say.

Rika fumbled on the end of her shirt, nervously after being pushed by Terada towards the already edgy Sakura standing in front of them. Weya.. why are men strong anyways?

After a couple of minutes of self-exploration, which almost drove Sakura from the brink of insanity, Rika finally found her voice.

"Sakura-chan…You.. "

So, what news does Rika have to bring to Sakura? Stay in tune for the next chapter: House No. 2: Meeting in HongKong. - please RR!

Ps. Do you like Sakura's edgy character? Did I make it a bit over the top? How bout Rika and Terada..? hehehe.. obviously, since this is AU. Personalities change.. XP I hope I'd be able to improve more..!
