"Wait up Sakura-chan!" a beautiful purple haired, amethyst eyed girl called to her best friend who was walking ahead of her. She was Tomoyo Daidouji, the Senior Class president, lead vocalist, and chief editor of the school's yearbook. Guys constantly asked her out, but she politely refused every last one of the offers. That was until one Eriol Hiiragizawa did the asking. The mutual respect turned into something else as their knack of plotting got along wonderfully.
"Hi Tomoyo-chan. I thought you had to stay afterschool today?"
"I did but Eriol-kun said something important came up and the meeting was canceled. It's been a while since I've spoken to you. What's up?"
"Not much. I've just been spending time with Jutsun." Sakura stated. Jutsun was Sakura's boyfriend for 3 years now. Tall, browned haired, and green eyed, he was in Sakura's opinion the second most handsome guy she had ever seen. Being the best soccer player of Seijou High School added to his popularity and she was flattered when he asked her out.
"Well I'm glad we could talk. Since we haven't been seeing each other, how about us going to the fair on Saturday? We could bring the guys along and make it a double date!" Tomoyo suggested.
"Sure. I'll ask Jutsun if he wants to go. When on Saturday?"
"Meet us at noon. I've got to go. See ya!"
"Bye" Sakura replied and continued to walk down the street. A soft wind blew and a few strands of her auburn hair flew into her face. From an outsiders point of view, she would seem like your average happy teenage girl. She was popular, had a great boyfriend, and not a single worry in the world. On the inside, however, her heart yearned for something she didn't comprehend. A pair of amber eyes continued to invade her thoughts as she turned the corner to go home.
*******Friday*********
"Flight number 196 for Tokyo Japan now boarding at gate 13!" a speaker blared throughout the terminal.
"Well that's you Xiao Lang." Fuutie said as she hugged her little brother. "Complete your mission and regain your true position among our clan."
Syaoran had a determined look on his face. "Don't worry about that. I won't let you down."
"Just don't let your emotions blind you. Always use common sense and the head on your shoulder. I'll miss you Xiao Lang."
"I'll be back soon." Syaoran said while slinging his belongings over his shoulder. With a final wave, he turned around and boarded the plane.
"This food sucks!"
Syaoran rolled his eyes for the countless time at the annoying person sitting next to him. He jokingly thought about taking his sword and cutting the guy's vocal chords out.
"Hey flyer dude! My food is heated unevenly, the sauce tastes like crap, and my drink isn't here!" the man complained and then turned to Syaoran. "Hey buddy, is your food ok? Lend a fellow traveler in need some of that chicken."
Syaoran groaned inwardly as he relented his unfinished meal to his left. Airplane food left him with no appetite anyway.
"Thanks man!" the guy said and proceeded to take massive bites out of the imitation poultry. "Hey! *chew* dis isn *chew* haf as *chew* bad *chew* *swallow* as mine was."
Syaoran shook his head internally as pieces of food flew from the guy's mouth as he spoke.
"Oh well, at least that filled me up. I'm Harry by the way. I'm from America." he said holding out his hand.
"Li." Syaoran said simply and shook the offered hand.
"Nice to meet ya Li! It's my first time going to Japan. What about you?"
"I haven't been there for 7 years. I guess I have to find a place to stay." Syaoran replied.
"Really? Well it's a coincidence that I haven't got a place either. I'm supposed to be living with my uncle but his house got repossessed. Say, you want to be roomates for a while until we each get situated in Japan?"
Syaoran stared increduously at the blonde haired man to the left of him but then thought about it. He really didn't plan that well for his trip and forgot to get an apartment somewhere. This was an offer that would help him for the time being.
"Ok." Syaoran said. "I'm going to be in Tomoeda though."
"That's ok. I really just wanted to visit anywhere in Japan. So Tomoeda it is then buddy!" Harry said enthusiastically as he slapped Syaoran on the back.
'What have I gotten myself into!'
"Attention passengers! Prepare for landing at Tokyo's Narita International Airport. The local time is 2:38 p.m. and it's a warm 25 degrees C outside. Please have all your immigration forms ready for the customs officers. Baggage claim will be on International #9. Thank you for flying with JAL."
"Well that's our cue Li. Let's go." Harry said while hauling 4 enourmous suitcases out of the overhead storage compartment.
"I thought you were only supposed to have 2 carryons?" Syaoran accused.
Harry grinned sheepishly and quickly carried all his belongings off the plane nearly knocking over an old lady.
'Deja vu' Syaoran thought grimly as he stepped into the airport.
"What do you mean you lost my bag!" an enraged Harry screamed at a nearby airport personel. The employee was getting scared as were nearby travelers. Harry stood at least 5 inches taller than most of them and his green eyes turned 2 shades darker. Syaoran just stood nearby and smirked.
"I-I'm sorry sir!" the employee stamered. "This could be a simple mistake! We'll reinburse you with cash if we don't find it!"
"Well I'm in a hurry. That entire trunk was probably worth 77,500 yen."
"We're on it sir!"
As Harry and Syaoran walked out the airport, Harry was busy counting all the money for reinbursement.
"So what was in that bag that was so important?" Syaoran asked.
"WHAT bag?" Harry replied with a triumphant grin.
After 12 failed attempts at getting a place to live, Syaoran was getting fed up.
"Good evening!" the landlord greeted them.
"We've been looking for a two bedroom apartment all over this town. Please tell me you have one open?" Harry asked.
"Well you're just in luck. My last room up for rent. It'll be 200,000 yen per month if you guys want it though."
"What! Are you insane? We don't have that kind of money!" Harry screamed.
"Take it or leave it. Your choice."
Syaoran just glared.
"Uhh...well...on second thought you can have it for 175,000."
He kept glaring.
"U-um..how about 150,000?"
*DEATH GLARE*
"Alright! Alright! 100,000 yen! That's my final offer!!" the landlord screamed in panic.
Syaoran continued to glare as he put out 75,000 yen daring him to refuse.
The landlord sighed and held out the room keys. "I'll let you have it but don't tell ANYONE about this."
Syaoran grabbed the keys and stormed off with his baggage.
"Woah..." Harry whispered in wonder as he started to follow Syaoran.
A/N: Sorry if this chapter was a little boring but I had to get it out of the way. The plot thickens in the next chapter. Please review and tell me how I'm doing. Thanks!
