Title: 100 Days to fall in Love
Summary: Sakura Kinomoto, a regular high school girl has her world turned upside down when the rich and handsome Syaoran Li makes her his slave... for 100 days. Can these two actually fall in love? AU
Ch 2: Know your enemy! (And Clean his house)
It is only a dream..... Bad dream. Nightmare.
Sakura woke up to yet another deary Monday morning......
Wait. It couldn't be Monday... I met that guy coming from school yesterday.
No I didn't meet him. Nightmare. Remember?
'Ah, Sakura. Ohayo!'
Sakura lifted her head from her pillow as her dad poked his head, opening the bedroom door a bit.
'Tousan.........'
'Get ready!!'
'Um.... Dad, what day is it today?'
'It's Tuesday Sakura. Wake up.' Fujitaka Kinomoto said.
'Hoe...'
'Better wake up soon, monster.' A drawling voice from downstairs said.
Her nasty, mean, rude, stupid, bossy elder brother. Touya Kinomoto.
Mother? Nadeshiko Kinomoto. Resting in heaven. Probably the only one who was an angel on Earth as well as in heaven.
Well, that pretty much summed up her family.
Not to mention her second cousin-cum-best friend Tomoyo Daidouji. And her mom. Oh yeah, her great grandpa too.
So, she really didn't lack relatives who could sue the guy.
A.k.a Master.
A.k.a Syaoran Li.
A.k.a Thorn in the neck.
'Prick' sounds better for him.
'Hey! Have any of you have got any idea what is the cost of repairing a scratch…. Just a tiny one. Of um… a lexus?' Sakura asked as soon as she had reached her class.
'I haven't got much idea about cars…' Chiharu said.
'It is a costly car.' Rika said cautiously. She very well remembered Syaoran's car.
'I haven't even touched one.' Tomoyo said sadly.
'Will….' Sakura tried to remember the exact amount, '…20000 yen be um….. justificable?'
'Well,' Naoko said wisely, 'For a car like that, it surely will be. Actually, it seems a little less….. '
Oh no.
So The Guy wasn't even bluffing.
I have 20000yen to PAY BACK!!
My life is hell.
'Please, Sakura. Just tell me where did you find, such-a-hottie!?!'
'When did you two first meet…..?'
'Is he as sweet as he looks?'
'You are so lucky.'
Such stupid comments made by her usually not-so-stupid friends!
Sakura's day hadn't passed too well as they all headed out of the school gate: everybody kept staring at her.
Just because of that aho of a guy.
She had to silence them…… Her friends at least.
'Well, I first met him…..'
'Oooo….' Tomoyo, Chiharu, Naoko and Rika had already started their "oohs" and "ahs".
For kami's Sake!
'I saw him waiting outside a five star restaurant. He walked up to me and said "Hi!". So I said,"Hi."'
Sakura said. She made sure that (so called) "Hi!" would be eager while hers a bit dull….
'He was like "I've seen you somewhere." And I said, "That line is quite old, dude".'
Sakura was improvising wildly. Of course, nothing of that sort had happened.
Her friends giggled.
'And…'
'Oi….. You!!'
They spun around to see…..
'Prick!!' Sakura gasped.
Syaoran who had parked his Lexus in the middle of the overflowing (with students) street , looked pretty good in his white shirt and brown khakis .
It kinda suits him.
No!!! It DOES NOT!!
How can anything suit the 'Absolute Devil'?
'Who?' Tomoyo asked, confused.
'I-I mean…..' Sakura had forgotten his name…. Syaoran. Right.
'S-Syaoran!'
Syaoran only raised a brow as they neared him.
'Time to go, slave.' Syaoran sneered.
'What?' Tomoyo asked, bewildered as the rest just enjoyed the appearance of their friend's "boyfriend".
'He means Sakura!' Sakura said, trying to cover up a bit as she sat in the car, 'Bye!'.
Her friends, except Tomoyo, only nodded.
Stunned by the parting smile by The Guy who flashed his pearlies as they sped away.
'I wonder....' Began Syaoran, '….what kind of stories you must have been cooking there.'
He looked, undoubtedly, smug.
But he probably didn't know the whole (false) story as he seemed a bit genuinely curious.
'Um…. I just mentioned how….. we met?' Sakura said.
Syaoran only laughed.
A sure sign of danger.
For some unknown reason to Sakura, Syaoran actually allowed her to nip back to her home, get changed and have something to eat.
Poor Sakura had no idea that it was the calm before the storm.
Catch you catch me catch me matte, ko….
Sakura's stupid phone had started ringing again.
'Moshi moshi.'
'Oi! Come. Now.'
Prick.
'Where?'
'Where?'Syaoran mimicked, 'Don't know my house?'
He is speaking like he is some superstar that I'll know his house.
'I showed you yesterday….. Baka.' Syaoran said.
Oh yeah….
'Hai, I remember it!'
'Honestly airhead…… Come quickly.'
He hung off.
Sakura just walked to the building opposite to their house.
The flats in the building, Sakura had heard were 'pretty' or so Tomoyo had said.
-Trrring..-.
Sakura rang the bell.
Probably Prick had home security system because she heard his voice from a speaker right above the bell.
'Whozair?' He muttered, probably he was eating or something.
'Me.'
'Who? Sorry I don't know anyone called "me".' He said, clearly smirking.
Sakura took a deep breath, 'Sakura.'
'Oh, slave….'
Sakura had enough, 'Why don't you just open the door!!'
'Gomen, it has a password system.'
' "Password"?' Sakura asked, bewildered.
'Uh-huh, you need to say the password to get in.' Syaoran replied.
'Ah.. What is it?'
'Have you ever watched "Sailor Moon"?' Syaoran asked.
'Hai.'
Honestly, did this guy actually watched "Sailor Moon". He is a GUY for goodness sake!!
'Cool. Do you know what her dialogue is when she….. you know fights?'
Hell no…. You can't do it to me!!
'Yeah it is "In the name of the moon, I will punish you!" Let me come in now!!!'
Sakura banged at his door desperately.
'You'll have to do it with the actions!'
Damn…..
No…….
'I'm going!' Sakura stomped angrily.
'Fine, I'll tell your dad the whole stupid story and ask to pay me up….'
He never gives up.
'Okay, Okay…..'
Sakura took a deep breath as she ran, '"In the name of the moon, I will punish you!!!!"'.
Complete Sailor energetic actions.
Syaoran chuckled as Sakura panted, 'I was just joking….. you didn't need to do anything.'
Sakura scowled as she wrenched open the door.
What she didn't know that she had given Li's poor old neighbour quite a heart attack as Sakura had jumped and did the Sailor Moon routine.
Sailor moon side effect!!
Sakura was still grumpy as she entered Syaoran's living room.
'Don't make such a face, slave!' Syaoran said.
He did look very cheerful.
Had I not been his 'slave', I would have wiped that smile out of his face.
Or rather his teeth.
'What kind of a house is this??'
The floor and the sofa was literally filled with clothes. Probably stink.
On the LCD TV screen, there were stains of cheese and cold drinks.
While the carpet was also in dire need of dusting.
Sakura could see a bit of the kitchen which was also dirty.
'Clean it up.'
Sakura had never dreaded any set of three words as she had dreaded these on that moment.
'Nani?!'
'You heard me…. Clean it up.' Syaoran adjoined simply.
'You gotta be kidding me!!'
Syaoran glanced at the clock, 'It is five… my "step dad" is comin' round……. So-clean-it!'
Sakura's mouth just hung open.
'Don't worry, I'm giving you plenty of time…… I'll be back by six.'
He just swung his brown jacket around his shoulder and left grinning.
Sakura somehow managed to 'fit' all of his clothes in the washing machine. In one go!!
Actually, 'fit' wasn't a too good word.
'Stuff' described it the best.
She threw the whole packet of detergent in…..
She then turned some music on.
Green day. At least he has got a good taste in music.
Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy!
Yeah, I know him……..

In your eyes…….

From here to eternity,
Violence is an energy,
Silence is the enemy,
So gimme gimme revolution….

Burning down the foreman of control
Wait, if I burn……
I'll land in jail!!
Silence is the enemy,
Against your urgency,
So rally up the demons of your soul!
Wow… Green Day…
Their music is so realistic as I can actually hear the floor shaking and some machine spluttering from the next room…..
Next ROOM!!
Sakura had been so busy listening that she had forgot all about the washing machine!!
As soon as she opened the lid, foam bubbled out as she retrieved the remains of the brave detergent cover.
And the now super shining clothes.
She glanced at the clock…. Yikes!!
Only twenty minutes left!!!
She quickly zoomed around the house- vacuuming, washing dishes, dusting, cleaning the television……
Whew!
'Don't worry dad…. I manage well without Wei here…..'
6 o' clock!
Syaoran came into the view followed by a stately looking, business tycoon, a well tailored suit clad man in his forties with slightly graying hair.
The man looked around, obviously amazed, in silence till….
'Who's that, Xiao Lang?'
'Ah, she's just a maid!' Syaoran said carelessly.
'Then, what she is doing here now?!'
Sakura ran out of the house in a trice as Syaoran muttered a quick bye before shutting the door.
It was already dark as she rang the bell at her house.
Some day!!
