A/N: Alright, I kinda used the idea to make this fic from an anime called 'Ah! My Goddess' I'm not going to copy the anime, I'm going to make it entirely different but just using a bit of the begining to show how both Syaoran and the 'angel' meet. After that, it's all my my own ideas. I do not own Cardcaptor Sakura and I hope no one gets mad at me for doing this...here's the summary.
Summary: Syaoran Li is a working student and is very bright...except for one thing. He's having problems finding a job, finding a place to stay, and most of all...finding a girlfriend. Then one day, after almost getting kicked out of the all boys school he was staying in, a certain someone unexpectedly drops by who just happens to be an angel. She tells him that she can give him 3 wishes of his choice. What will his 3 wishes be? And what will happen with him and this new angel?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 1: Ah! An...Angel?
"Yo Li! Stop making so much noise! People are trying to sleep!"
"It's not me! Go yell at the guy next door!"
A brown haired boy around the age of 17 slumped against his door as the manager for the dorms yelled at him from downstairs. He was living in an all boys school...or in a building NEXT to the school where all the boys went to. And he wasn't exactly the most responsible guy when it came to taking things seriously either. He had already moved out of his house, leaving his mom alone and visiting from time to time and now he was trying to live on his own. He had already had a job but just recently quit, thinking that he could find something better. But so far, he was still stuck with nothing.
"Hey Hisaragi! Stop blasting your music!" the manager yelled from up the stairs again.
"Sorry!" the boy named Hisaragi turned down his music, which left the building quiet and somewhat lonely. The boy by the name of Li let out a sigh of comfort as he walked over to his bed, plopping down on his white bedsheets. Looking up at the ceiling, he began to think to himself about his future.
'I wonder if everything will turn out a lot better in the end. Right now, things seem so hard to handle...' His auburn eyes stared up in a haze as he continued to think to himself. Trying to live all by himself was hard. He had to pay his monthly rent, he had to go grocery shopping every week. All of that ate up the money he was working so hard to earn, barely leaving anything left over for him to use on himself. And to make things worse...he didn't have a girlfriend. He wanted to have someone by his side when he was stressed, when he was upset or sad, but he could never get himself to find someone. '...and, when will I find that special girl?'
"Yo Li! What are you doing in there? You're in there so long it makes everyone suspicious!" one of the guys said outside his door. "Hey...are you hiding a girl in there?! You know you can't have girls in here!"
Li sat up, rolling his eyes. "No I don't have a girl in here. You should know that." he said, shaking his head. 'I'll never have a girl in here.'
"Oh, yeah you're right. Anyway me and the guys are goin out, you wanna come? There will be lots of...pretty dancers." the guy talking, along with his friends sniggered behind the door while waiting for Li to answer. Instead of rushing up to the door like he would usually do, Li just continued sitting on his bed and sigh.
"No I think I'll stay tonight and tidy things up. My room is a mess, and there is some school work I still need to finish." there were some depressed 'aw's heard from the other side of the door and a few of the guys walked off.
"Well suit yourself Li. Well all be back in around an hour or two. See ya later."
Li sat quietly as he heard the guy walk off. It was already 8 that evening and he was too tired to do anything really, so he got up and began putting his things into place. Thirty minutes later he sat down in a corner exhausted.
"Finally done, now I have to get my school work finished. Crap." He scratched the back of his head annoyed and crossed his legs. "I wish...that all of this would go away, that someone would come and just make everything disappear." He was about to stand up and get his school books out of his drawer but a noise caught his attention. He looked over at the closet where the noise had come from and quietly listened, seeing if whatever it was would make another noise. After waiting a few minutes he shrugged it off and stood up, making his way to his drawer again.
He had finished the rest of his homework late that night, with the guys who left still not back. And at around 11 he had finally crashed on his bed, getting the rest he longed for all day. Though it didn't last long for the next morning had already arrived. Even though he had gotten the sleep he needed, he still felt tired.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hiroaki Miyajima!"
"Here."
"Ayasumi Tekemi"
"Present!"
"Kari Hidasaki"
"Hai!"
"Syaoran Li...Syaoran Li!"
Li was too busy looking out the classroom window to notice the teacher call his name. Also he wasn't too used to people calling him by his first name either.
"Syaoran." the teacher said, standing in front of Syaoran's desk. "You back to reality yet?" Syaoran blinked a few times and a small pink began to spread across his cheeks as all the other students looked at him and the teacher.
"Yeah sorry, just thinking about stuff." he said. The teacher nodded his head curiously and made his way back to his seat while finishing the role call. Syaoran didn't know what had gotten over him these last few days. He just seemed extra tired and less energetic. And to top it all off he had to go visit his mom and his four sisters that evening. They were all celebrating the fact that he had finally decided to go to college after his last year of high school.
"Hey Syaoran? You okay?" one of his friends had walked over to him, sitting in the seat in front of him while Syaoran continued to faze out.
"Huh? Oh yeah I'm fine, I'm really tired that's all."
"Tired huh...maybe you shouldn't have come to class today." his friend raised an eyebrow and looked at him closely. "You do remember that celebration thing you have with your family tonight right?" Syaoran nodded his head and smiled, getting his things.
"How can I forget? My sisters wont stop calling me about it." his friend gave a little laugh as they both got up and walked out of the class. The bell had rung a few minutes before Syaoran had the little talk with his pal and so now he was on his way to his next lesson. Little did he know that something was waiting for him back at his dorm.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"....and then the monster grabbed the girl and ran to the edge of the cliff!" a boy with short black hair was telling a story with his finger up in the air as people gathered all around him to listen to him. It was lunch break and everyone almost always gathered around him to listen to his cool, but false, stories.
"Takashi, when will you stop troubling your head with that nonsense?" Syaoran said, a boy with blue hair and round glasses following behind him.
"But it's not nonsense, I'll have you know Syaoran Li that all of this is very true." Takashi smiled widely as Syaoran just rolled his eyes and took a seat at the bench next to him.
"You know Syaoran..." the boy with blue hair began. "...he might be right. These stories might be true." both him and Takashi started laughing humorously while, yet again, Syaoran rolled his eyes.
"Eriol, you're just as bad as Taksashi. You two need to stop hanging out with each other, otherwise the both of you will start talking like each other. Or worse! You might start wearing the same clothes." he said, folding his arms.
"Oh come on Syaoran." Takashi said, putting an arm around his shoulders. "You gotta start joking around! You're starting to become boring.
"Yeah well I can't help it. I've been doing so much, I can't help but be serious all the time. Sorry guys." both Eriol and Takashi just sigh and returned to the story telling while Syaoran got up and made his way back into the school. He really was changing so suddenly, he wasn't always like this. But he didn't know what else to do. He figured once all of his school work was done that things would go back to normal. Or he hoped.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Syaoran!!!" his sisters said in unison as they ran to him, pulling him into a breathless hug. "We missed you so much! We haven't seen you since forever little brother!" Syaoran sweatdropped as his sisters continued pinching his cheeks and messing up his hair.
"So how are things at your school Syaoran?!" his youngest sister asked.
"Alright I guess..."
"Are you getting good grades?" asked the oldest sister.
"Yeah, of course..."
"Do they give you good food?"
"Um"
"Are there any hot guys in the place your staying in?"
"Ehehe..."
"Do they have phone numbers?!"
"Well I can..."
"Do you have a girlfriend yet?!"
This last question made Syaoran fall deathly silent and he blushed slightly. "No, no I dont." All his sisters frowned and all said "aw" at the same time. Then suddenly there was silence as a tall woman entered the room. Out of respect Syaoran turned and faced her way, bowing low. "Hello mother."
"Hello my son. It is so good to see you again. You haven't visited in so long." she walked up to him and hugged him close. "How are things with school?"
"Everything is fine, nothing to worry about. I'm keeping up my good grades just as I promised you, and I am trying my best to be fully responsible." Syaoran shuddered at his own words while instead his mother smiled happily and gave him another hug.
"That's good to hear"
Soon enough Syaoran and the rest of his family continued talking about him and school. Syaoran always hated family gatherings like these but he didn't bother to say anything. His mother, Yelan Li, was the wisest in the family. She always knew what was right and was always understanding. As for his four sisters, they were all almost the same. Though they didn't look entirely alike, they were all quadruplets and acted almost exactly alike. And though they were constantly talking, he didn't let their gossip and talk about boys bother him. After all, he had lived with them his whole life, he had gotten used to it.
He was the only male in the family, his father had died when he was around the age of three. He couldn't remember much about him other then what his mother had told him. She always said that he was a couragous and brave man, that he never gave up and tried his best at everything he did. Syaoran wanted to be like his father so much, but wasn't sure if he could pull it off. No matter how hard he tried, deep inside he had a feeling that he would come no where close to being the man his father once was. And he tried not to let it get to him too much.
After spending most of the evening with his mother and sisters, he finally said his good-bye's and set off back to the building. He was so exhausted from the constant thinking he had done all day that it sickened him just to think that he had class the next morning. Nights never seemed to be long enough for him anymore.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey Syaoran."
As soon as Syaoran got back to his dorm, the guy in the room next to him had peeked his head out, wondering where he was."Not now Hisaragi, I'm tired. You can tell me about what you did tomorrow." he was about to walk into his dorm when Hisaragi cut him off.
"I wasn't going to ask if you could listen to any of my stories. I was just going to ask if you were okay. You seem...I dunno...depressed. Is there anything you want to tell me?" he asked. Syaoran lifted the side of his lips into a small smile and just shook his head.
"Nope, nothing at all. I swear, I'm just a little tired that's all. I'll talk to you tomorrow morning." and without notice he walked into his dorm and shut the door.
"Would you guys shut up?! It's really getting annoying how you won't stop talking when it's so late!" his boss yelled yet again from downstairs. "This is your last warning, if you start talking again...loudly, I'm kicking you out!" Syoaran closed his eyes and locked the door, tossing his jacket onto his bed as his boss continued raving on the floor below him.
All he really wanted was some peace and quiet, his sisters had given him a headache and he wasn't in the mood to talk anymore. And right when he was about to reach in the fridge for a bottle of water, he heard a noise from his closet yet again. The same noise from the night before. This time he knew it wasn't just his mind and he made his way to the closet."
'What is that?' he thought as he slowly walked over to it. As soon as his hand came inches away from the closet handle, a hand slid out, right through the door. "HOLY SHIT!" he said as he scurried backwards and collapsed on his bed, his eyes glued to the closet. The hand slowly slid out even more as a sleeve appeared, followed by a shoulder, a leg, and soon an entire body. Li couldn't believe what he was seeing and his jaw dropped even lower as he saw who it was.
A beautiful girl who looked around his age was floating inches above the ground. She wore colorful clothing but nothing too intense as she looked around, taking in her surroundings. Noticing she was in a room, she focused her attention on the man in front of her and smiled. Her emerald green eyes expressing her gentle and sweet self. Without notice and a word from Li, she glided towards him, her short shoulder length auburn hair blowing as she floated.
"Hello." she said, landing in front of him. "My name is Kinomoto Sakura. I believe that you are in distress and in need of help." Li just looked at her, his mouth still slightly open as she talked. Then, as if someone pinched him hard, he jumped giving a small scream and stood up on his bed, backing against the wall.
"W-w-what are you? What are you doing here?" he said shaking ever so slightly. The girl named Sakura giggled and floated again in front of him, making him back away even more, if that was possible. He gasped as he noticed her beautiful white wings as she glided over to him and couldn't help but stare.
"I'm an angel, an angel sent to help those in need. And this evening, I heard your call. You seemed in desperate need of help and so I have come." She said, her eyes smiling as she looked at him. "Do not be frightened, I will not cause you any harm." Li seemed to loosen up a bit at her convincing words and looked at her with an eyebrow raised.
"Why have you come to answer MY call? I didn't even know I made a call." he looked confused as she giggled again.
"No one really realizes they have made a call until their angel comes. But an angel doesn't answer everyones call. Only certain individual people." she landed on the bed, sinking into the mattress while looking Li in the eyes. "And the reason why I answered your call was because you seemed to need help the most."
Li gave a quick 'oh' before he rubbed the back of his neck. "So...how are you going to help me?" he asked as she hopped off the bed happily.
"Well, you have three wishes and three only. After that, I will go and leave you be. So please make sure to choose your wishes wisely for they cannot be undone." Li sat down on his bed and put his hand to his chin thoughtfully.
"But how do I know this all isn't just some trick? How do I know that you wont all of a sudden take back the wish?" Syaoran felt stupid hearing himself say this, she had already said that the wish could not be undone.
"I promise, this is no joke. Whether you believe in angels or not, I am here to grant you three wishes." She folded her hands in her lap as she said this and waited patiently for him to answer.
"Hmm...any three wishes right?" he asked.
"Yes, any three wishes."
Li thought about it for a second and smiled widely. "I have my first wish!"
"Already?, Are you sure you don't want to think it over a little while longer?" Syaoran shook his head and stood up, clenching his fists.
'I can't believe this is really happening. I mean yeah I believe in ghosts and spirits and stuff. But this is incredible. I never thought that an actual angel would appear in my room! And such a cute one at that...she's really pretty.' he started to stare at her again as he continued to think and was only brought back to reality with a small 'ahem' from the beauty in front of him.
"What is your wish?" she asked sweetly.
"I wish..." he hesitated for a moment. 'What if they have rules, what if I'm not allowed to ask this particular question? Will I get in trouble?' he couldn't help but shake nervously as he tried to say the last of his sentence. "I wish...I wish for you to be my girlfriend!"

A/N: Ok I know it's not very long and I wanted to make it longer but I thought that this would be a good place to stop. I hope you all enjoyed it and please send me your reviews. I would appreciate a few critics telling me what they thought about it. Thanks!
