HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Well I'm back, I actually started writing this like two hours ago, I honestly need some comic relief in my life and I decided to write a story that would make me smile and just feel good, so here it is, the first chapter at least.

About my other story, Strange Relationships, for all of you who read it and noticed I didn't finish it, it just happens that I had the final chapters ready and the computer broke down, I lost everything and I was so bummed I decided not to finish the story. I actually tried to rewrite to chapters but I didn't like them… so unless I get some kind of divine inspiration the story will stay unfinished!

But don't worry here is a new story, a sweet romantic one, and I think I'll write another one and I'll be updating both of them, I just need to decide on a story line because I have like a thousand different ideas!

Oh by the way, I don't really like the title of the story that much but it's what came up in the moment so I decided to leave it like that.

Anyway I won't bother you anymore, just read this story, read this first chapter, tell me what you think, review, and all that stuff!

STRANGERS

Chapter 1: Strangers

"Can I help you?" Syaoran heard the voice come from behind a bookshelf. Apparently someone had been watching him and now decided to step in to help him.

"Yes" He said hesitantly searching for the person speaking to him.

"What are you looking for?" A girl appeared behind him. He turned around to look at her a little bit upset that the woman had taken so long to attend him but once he looked at her he couldn't help but smile.

The woman was shorter than him, probably one or two years younger. She had very long brown hair and the most amazing emerald green eyes he had ever seen. She was smiling at him with a soft and welcoming smile that moved something inside him he couldn't quite recognize.

"So?" She said approaching him and placing a book she was holding in her hand in one of the bookshelves.

"Yeah, I'm looking for a map actually, I kindda got lost and I need to find my friend's house"

"Well this town isn't exactly what you may call big maybe I can tell you where you need to go" Syaoran was just surprised by the fact that this woman had the most beautiful voice he had ever heard.

"I'm trying to find Eriol Hiragizawa's house"



"Hmm… yeah you won't find him home right now, he has been travelling a lot lately, with the wedding and all, you know Tomoyo she just wants the best of the best, and she wants to get married in this god forsaken town! So Eriol has to travel a lot to get the things she needs" He couldn't help but smile at her comment, the girl just rambled on not really bothering to find out if he was interested in what she was saying or not.

"But you know him them?" He said smiling at her, the feeling felt so distant to him, he couldn't even remember the last time he smiled.

"Well of course I know him! Didn't I just tell you this place is just too small? I mean everyone knows everyone here, that can be either good or bad… you know right? Cause if you do something wrong then everyone is going to find out"

Syaoran kept on looking at the girl who just kept on rambling on about how difficult it was to be there, and she tried to explain to him how even though she tried to be a good girl she just always seemed to mess up something, apparently she was kind of clumsy.

"Aaaaaaanyway" She said stopping to take some air "You said you wanted to get to Eriol's house right?" He just nodded suspecting that the girl would interrupt him the second he decided to say something "Well you are like 15 minutes away, you need to take that road" She said pointing to a road to the side of the bookstore "Then you turn right when you see a restaurant that looks forgotten by God, and Eriol's house is just at the end of that street"

That wasn't the best address he could have been given but he still appreciated the gesture.

"Are you in a hurry? Does someone know you are going there cause I told you there is no one there right now"

"Well I actually told him I'd be arriving next week, but I managed to move the flight, so no, he doesn't know I'm here"

"Too bad… if you want you can wait till I finish my shift and I can take you there"

"But someone is going to be there right? When is he returning anyway" He was starting to believe it hadn't been such a good idea to move his flight.

"Well he's returning in like three days I think, but don't worry I can get into his house, he won't mind, I actually crash at his house most of the time, specially when my brother is home he's just a pain in the ass! And Eriol's house is like my bachelor pad"

Syaoran started laughing at her comments, he had no idea who this woman was but he was starting to like her already, and that wasn't a very common thing for him. He actually loved girls, he was known as a player back home, but he had never met a woman he actually felt this kind of attraction for.

"Ok then… I guess there's no harm in waiting. How do you know him anyway?" Syaoran asked once he realized he had just agreed to let a complete stranger take him to his best friend's house.



"Oh I'm Tomoyo's best friend, I'm the bride's maid actually" She said as she started walking around the bookstore, placing books here and there, making him follow her. "I've know Eriol for a long time now, well ever since he moved here actually, he made this place a little more bearable, don't get me wrong I mean I love this place! It's like the most pacific and happiest place in the world but sometimes you just need more… do you know what I mean?"

He nodded trying to agree with her but he actually had no idea of what she was talking about.

"Anyway I just come back here during vacations and stuff like that, I study in the city, and when I graduate I think I'll come back here for good"

"What do you study?" He found himself asking the question before he could actually stop himself

"I study literature, but I want to write my own books, something interesting, something people can relate… or something like that" She said as she started laughing "My God that was so corky!" She said laughing "What do you do?"

"I'm chairman at a company in China"

"Aren't you like too young to be a chairman?"

"It's a family business, it kinda chose me" She nodded seriously "It's just boring stuff I do"

"Really? That's too bad, I'd hate it if some day someone asked me what I do for a living and I just say 'something boring'… it's kinda pathetic, I mean you should be doing something you love!"

"Well… I like my job! I don't hate it completely"

"Yeah right" She said mocking him and walking over to the counter. She sat on the other side of the table, just in front of the register and pointed him to a couch near her.

"Ok then good for you!" She said smiling. Syaoran just eyed her, trying to figure out this woman, she was so different from any other woman he had met before, she had a certain charisma that made him want to know her more.

"Sooo…" he started trying to change the subject "You are the bride's maid?"

"Yep, I still believe I'm too young to be a bride's maid, and I also believe those two are too young to be getting married I mean they are only 24 years old!"

"Yeah well they really love each other… they'll be ok" He said interrupting her

"Yeah I know… still it's kinda nostalgic, I mean we grew up here and then we both left for school she met him and now they are getting married! I mean it just happened so fast… I feel like a mother who is watching her babies grow up!" She started to make some very funny faces trying to act as if she was suffering, but she just managed to make him laugh and she started laughing as well.



"Listen I have to close up in about half an hour, you can wait here with me or you can just come pick me up at 6:00 what do you think?"

The question caught him off guard, this girl was so strange! She acted as if they had known each other all their lives and he didn't even know her name. But by the way she spoke of Eriol and Tomoyo it was obvious she really did know them.

He wasn't used at all to girls like her, most of the girls he had met where always trying to get to him for his money so he had learned to use girls. But this girl was different, she didn't have the slightest idea of who he was and she was acting so… nice to him.

"Hey?" She said waving her hands in the air in a very funny way

"I can wait for you here, don't worry" She smiled at his answer showing that he said what she wanted to hear. "What's you name?" He asked all of a sudden deciding it was just too weird to have met this girl and not even know her name.

"Well you can call me stranger, I like it that way" She said raising her shoulders and smiling sweetly at him "I can call you stranger too if it's ok with you"

"Why don't you want to tell me your name?" He asked confused.

"Well it is so much more exhilarating to know I'll be spending the rest of the day with a complete stranger"

"You like that huh? Being with complete strangers?" He couldn't believe this girl, she was just crazy.

"Well we are not complete strangers, I actually know who you are, and you know you I am only you don't know my name" She smiled at him with a clever smile, she was doing it on purpose.

He eyed her, trying to read her face, but all he could see in her eyes was a devilish smile telling his she was playing him.

"Look, you know I'm Tomoyo's bride's maid, and you know I live around here, and you know I'm friends of Eriol, so there's actually no need to know my name"

"Yes there is!" He said laughing "How I'm I going to call you?"

"You can just call me something like Super-cool-chick"

"Super-cool-chick? That sucks!"

"No it doesn't!! I bet I'm like the coolest girls you have ever met" She said trying to act hurt and placing her hands on her hips.

"Well I don't know about coolest but you sure are the most interesting girl I've ever met"



She smiled at him, and stared at him. He was expecting her to say something but she just looked at him as if she was studying his whole body.

"Well Big-city-guy I think I'll close up early today so you can just wait outside till I close the place down"

He stood up and left the store, heading towards his car. He looked back at the store and saw the girl moving around the store, closing up. He noticed again a smile on his face, and felt strange about it, he even felt uncomfortable, this wasn't normal, he didn't like girls, girls only tried to get to him because of his money. It had been like that all his life, and he wasn't exactly prepared for a girl like this.

There it was! First chappie! Yey yey!! So please review, I love reviews and I'll be updating soon!!
