OMG IM SO SORRY GUYS! QAQ! I know that I haven't been updating recently but please don't give up on me! I really hope I don't fail as a fan fiction author TT^TT.
I woke up with the feeling something was dreadfully wrong. The question was, what was it? Sakura was still sound-asleep in her room next door and nothing seemed off. Although after working in my line of expertise, you learn that nothing is as it seems. I got up warily, careful to not disturb the tranquil silence of the condo (A/N: Yes I found out it is called a condo :O…..I think…. _ _lll). "Syaoran? Is that you?" Sakura's voice called. I jumped. Sakura stood at my door holding a pan full of cooked eggs. "I hope you like eggs. Sorry but I woke up late so now I have to rush if I want to get to the café in time." She just as hurried out just as quickly as she came. I stared at the spot where she'd just been and wondered again what exactly made her a target for Him. The clang of pots and Sakura's shriek sent me flying out of the room and into the kitchen. The sight awaiting me was surprising to say the least. I set my face to a concerned expression.
"Are you okay?" I asked, using my smooth voice and reaching out a hand. For some reason my left arm wouldn't obey so I'd offered her my right. She gave a weak nod and gladly grasped my hand. I hoisted her up and helped clean up the pots and ingredients that had fallen.
"Thank you….Oh dear I just realized we properly exchanged names. My name is Sakura Kinomoto," she said with a sweet, sincere smile.
"I'm Syaoran Chen," I replied. No point in giving her my real name. Then she glanced at her clock on the wall. "Oh no! I'm going to be late for work!" she exclaimed. She ran into her room and she frantically tried to get dressed and grab her bag. "Do you want to come along with me?" I raised my eyebrows.
"Sure." 'What in the world is she planning?' I gave my left arm and experimental flex. It stayed stubbornly in the same position. What was going on?
ᅜ (La-dee-da-dee-da Time skip: Clow Café)
"Tomoyo! Sorry I'm late!" Sakura shouted as she burst through the back door and hastily put on an apron. A girl with violet hair and gray eyes smiled while shaking her head.
"Slept late again?" Then she noticed me. "Who's Mr. Stranger?"
"His name is Syaoran Chen. He's staying with me for a while," Sakura responded, already doing final touches on some Mont Blanc about to go on display. I stood and watched as the two shuffled around the kitchen decorating and baking deserts. Tomoyo gave me a thoughtful look before giving an evil smirk. She whispered something in Sakura's ear who only gave Tomoyo a disbelieving stare. I raised an eyebrow before Tomoyo grabbed my arm, a bundle of clothes, and stuffed me inside the staff bathroom.
"And don't even think about coming out before you're done!" she shouted through the door. I stood there in utter shock. I lose my ability to use my left arm and now I was being pushed around by a normal young woman! The things Eriol would say….. I tugged on the outfit as best I could with only my right arm and looked into the mirror. Tomoyo had given me a full waiter outfit that was modeled from a butlers' outfit, complete with the tails in the back. I crept out and sneaked up behind Sakura, waiting for her to turn around.
"Tomoyo what- AHHH!" She screamed when she saw me up close and personal. She almost fell to the floor and I caught her, wrapping an arm (obviously my right arm) around her waist. Three other women ran through the double doors that led to the café itself. They gasped when they saw the position Sakura and I were in. All of them looked about the same age as Sakura. One had short bob cut hair with large round glasses and another had short curly hair that curled right under her chin and they both had dark brown hair. The other one had light brown hair in two curly pigtails. Sakura's face was on fire right now and I inwardly smirked. Oh yeah, this was going to be fun.
The three women were introduced to me. The one with the pigtails was Chiharu Mihara, the glasses girl was Naoko Yanagisawa, and the short curly haired one was Rika Sasaki. "Nice to meet you Mihara-san, Yanagisawa-san, Sasaki-san," I said with a bow. They murmured their greetings and walked back into the café. Tomoyo had helped Sakura recover and now Tomoyo gave me a full examination.
"That suit fits you perfectly!" she said gleefully. She pulled me outside into the cafe and pointed to the customers. "Now earn your keep and serve." She pushed a tray of Mont Blanc into my hands and directed me to the general direction of the table. I gave a defeated sigh and walked over and placed the plates silently in front of the ladies.
"Hello there Handsome," one of the girls said flirtatiously. I mentally rolled my eyes.
"Here are your Mont Blanc ladies," I said with a flat tone. She gave a pout and tried to say something but I was already well away. I rushed into the kitchen and shouted to Sakura, "I'm heading back to the condo!" She gave me a distracted nod and pointed at her bag in the corner.
"The keys are in the front pocket," she shouted back before continuing to fill her cream puffs. I grabbed the keys and gratefully gulped in the fresh air outside. I hated small crowded spaces but they helped me get the job done so I can't complain.
"Yamazaki? Yeah, I need a favor to ask of you…."
I was just about to sit down before the doorbell rang. I opened the door and looked upon one of my best friends, Takashi Yamazaki. He gave a long whistle. "Nice place you've snagged Syaoran," he said appreciatively. "You know condos were originally built to-,"
"Oi, focus Takashi," I said, snapping my fingers. "I need your help to hack into the government's files." He nodded and pulled out his high-tech laptop. "I'm researching my client's target. Her name is Sakura Kinomoto."
"Got it." He pulled up some files and turned the screen so I could see. A picture of Sakura smiling was on the right and a bunch of her information was on the left. "Why do you need this information anyway Syao?" I shrugged and read through it. Apparently she was the daughter of a policeman but was kidnapped at the age of 5 and reappeared at the age of 16 along with her brother. Her parents had died in a car crash while they were missing and her brother died about six months after they were found and taken to a hospital. She had a perfect education and could function like any other human when she was found.
"Weird…why was she kidnapped for eleven years and then suddenly shows up again?" I muttered. Something didn't add up…
"Well I just searched up her family and it said that her father was investigating a drug deal. Something having to do with the underground and illegal services. That could explain it. Maybe your client wanted to make sure it was kept silent. Her dad did die about a year after she disappeared," Takashi suggested. I gave a small nod but something seemed wrong about this story. Sakura was hiding something…and I'm gonna find out what it is.
WHOOT! Ok this was longer than my other ones and im pooped X.X im trying to chat with my friends on elsword and type this at the same time.
