Love Over Lust?
Prologue
By: SweetBabyGurl
-------------------------------------------
Sakura's Point of View
I looked around at the now plain room. It used to be filled with all sorts of things when we first started living here the moment my cousin and I both turned eighteen. We wanted our freedom so badly and we could hardly wait for it back then. I turned again to my cousin once more with the ever present pout that seemed to linger on my lips these days since I found out she would be moving in with her fiancée last week. I know, I know! It was bound to happen… but not so fast!
"Oh Sakura don't look at me like that! We're still going to see each other everyday!" My cousin told me, and although she sounded annoyed, I could still see the tears gathering at the brim of her eyes.
"Tomoyo, I'm going to miss you!" I exclaimed as I wrapped my arms around her. And indeed I would. She and I have been friends since we were practically born, and how could we not seeing how we were cousins? We didn't attend the same high school or the same college seeing how we both wanted to pursue two completely different things. She, a designer and actress, and I, a doctor and part time model. But because of her designing and my modelling, we worked together in her business; Daidouji Designs — soon to be Hiiragizawa Designs. She designed and I modelled, it was as simple as that. We'd been doing it since we were ten years old! And hopefully now she was moving in with Eriol, it wouldn't end.
"And we'll have to see each other everyday whether you like it or not. You are my top model after all," she told me with a wink as we burst into peels of laughter for no apparent reason, just enjoying the small moment between cousins.

Reader's Point of View
A man of tall stature stood up, as he carried a box into the nearby green Mercedes Benz. His face was pale but alluring as were his midnight blue eyes and the thin rimmed glasses that framed them, giving off a mysterious look. His navy coloured hair ruffled slightly in the soft breeze that blew by the penthouse the two friends shared. Well, previously shared.
"I still can't believe you're kicking me out of my own penthouse Eriol, when I just arrived in Japan at that. And I still can't believe you're shipping me off to some girl I've never met. Although it would be fun to have a nice fling with her," another man equal of the height of the other said to him with a smirk as he placed another box in the trunk. Seeing as how the trunk could no longer take anymore space, he slammed down the roof of it and walked back inside the building to get another box. Unlike his friend, his skin was tanned darkly, but not too dark, and he had intense brown eyes with golden flecks contained inside making them look amber. Also unlike his friend, his hair was not neat at all, although his chocolate messy hair gave him a boyish look.
"Alright, let's get some things straight here Xiao Lang," he told his Chinese friend, catching up with him from outside as the two waited for the elevator. "A, I am not kicking you out. I told you that I was proposing to her. B, I know you just arrived in Japan, that's why I'm entrusting you in the care of one of my closest friends, Sakura. She's the greatest. And C," Eriol paused as he seized Syaoran's arm rather roughly causing his friend to look at him in annoyance, "if you even so much as make googly eyes at her I'll kill you."
"Whoa buddy, it's not her you're getting married to, relax. So what if I have a little fling with her? It's not like we'll develop any feelings for one another," Syaoran told his friend with a smirk as they walked into the elevator amused, only having seen this side of him with Syaoran's cousin, Meiling.
"She's like a little sister to me, and I'll be damned if I see her get hurt again," Eriol muttered darkly. "She means just as much to me as Meiling does, if not more."
-------------------------------------------
It wasn't until a half hour after Xiao Lang, AKA Syaoran, and Eriol finished putting Syaoran's things in his car did another car, a silver Jaguar, pull up to the building where Eriol and Tomoyo would now be living. Just as the engine was turned off, a woman with mid-back auburn tresses, and slightly tanned skin step out from the driver's side. Soft pink sunglasses hid her eyes as her shiny pink lips curved into a bright smile. On the other side of the car, another woman stepped out and seemed to be the exact opposite of the first girl when concerning looks. She had pale skin and waist length raven coloured locks. To compliment her features she had brightly coloured and rare amethyst eyes.
"Eriol!" The two girls squealed as they ran up to him and both gave him a hug at the same time. He, in return hugged them both laughing, seeing how the three of them had been doing this since elementary school. Completely forgotten, Syaoran stood next to the trio confused at who the fiancée was.
'Damn, both of them are fine. I'd rather have the brunette girl though. She seems to be more my type,' Syaoran thought to himself as he smirked.
"Hi, I'm Kinomoto Sakura. You must be Li Syaoran," the girl with the brunette hair told him with a smile as she removed her sunglasses to reveal the signature and also rare emerald eyes which Syaoran immediately found himself lost in. After a few moments of staring, he smirked, took her hand and slowly brought it to his lips.
"Charmed to be at your acquaintance. I must insist that since we are now going to be living together that you call me Syaoran. I've always hated formalities," he told her as he shot her a dazzling smile that usually would make women melt. Sakura merely smile in return, as both missed the look of disapproval Eriol sent him.
"Alright Syaoran, seeing how as you've met my best friend, time for you to meet the love of my life," Eriol told him gallantly. He swept Tomoyo off her feet, literally, and placed her petite form before him as she giggled and kissed him lightly on the cheek. "This is the soon to be Mrs. Hiiragizawa Tomoyo. But right now she's just Daidouji Tomoyo, the fiancée."
"It's nice to meet you Li-san. Maybe you, Sakura and I could exchange embarrassing stories about little old Eriol here," she told him a giggle accompanied by Sakura. Strangely, he found Sakura's giggle pleasant, seeing how he usually hated it when women giggled. It made them seem too childish. He wasn't going to bed a woman who acted like a mere child.
"I don't think so," Eriol told both Sakura and Tomoyo as he glanced between the two of them.
"So, how are we going to do this? Everyone split up or stay at one place and get the things moved in?" Tomoyo asked ignoring Eriol's former statement.
"I'm thinking we should all stay here and get everything unpacked. That way we can get the guys to carry in that huge stereo system of yours Tomoyo," Sakura teased.
"You brought that monstrosity here?!" Eriol yelped.
"Hey! I've had that monstrosity since I was six," Tomoyo pouted. In return Eriol sighed in defeat while Syaoran chuckled.
"I wouldn't be laughing if I were you buddy. They say they're going to help. But I assure you, they're going to do just about everything but that," Eriol told his friend with a smirk.
"So you mean to tell me you and I will be doing all the moving today?" Syaoran asked as he raised a thick eyebrow in disbelief.
"Yup," Eriol answered immediately.
"I resent that! I'll be in your kitchen cooking I'll have you know," Sakura scolded.
"Should I be afraid of this?" Syaoran teased as Sakura shot him a playful glare while he smiled brightly at her.
"I have enough blackmail on you buddy. Eriol likes to talk a lot when he's drunk I'll have to know," Sakura told him after thwacking him over the head with the palm of her hand.
"Ow!" Syaoran cried indignantly. Just as he had done, she gave him a dazzling smile as she and Tomoyo walked into the building.
"Damn, my new roommate is fine!" Sakura quietly exclaimed to Tomoyo as the two walked in giggling.
While Sakura walked in, Syaoran watched her swaying hips and the way the section below her back would move with every step she took.
'You, Kinomoto Sakura, are most definitely mine,' he thought with a smirk never noticing the stern look Eriol was giving him.
This was not good.
