Chapter 1 – To Have Someone
'I so can't wait to get home,' said a girl as she entered the lobby of her apartment.
She wasn't tall, but she wasn't short either and had creamy white skin with shoulder length auburn hair and emerald green eyes. Her name was Sakura and was getting home late from working the late shift at a fast food restaurant that had too many customers tonight.
"Sakura, wait up," said a voice from behind her.
When she turned around, she saw her new friend, Eriol Hiiragazawa, who was someone that lived on the same floor as she and they were also next-door neighbors.
"Hello Eriol," Sakura said as she smiled a small smile and pushed for the elevator to come down.
"I know that we've just met and everything, Sakura, but I need to ask you for a favor," Eriol said as he walked inside the elevator with her.
"And what would that be Eriol," Sakura said as she pushed their floor, eight.
"Would you mind if you were to be the fiancé of my roommate for a few weeks?" Eriol asked as looked at her pleadingly.
"What?" Sakura said as she looked at him, wondering what kind of a favor that was.
"You see, my friend told his mother that he was engaged so he wouldn't have to marry a girl that his mother chose. Well, she had told him that she wanted to see his fiancé, but the problem is, he doesn't have one…yet," Eriol said a he almost smirked at the last part.
"…So what you are trying to ask me is if I would play or act as your friends fiancé?" Sakura asked as she thought about it.
"Yeah, basically," Eriol said as he smiled at her.
"I don't know, Eriol. I mean, I don't him or his family or…"
"Don't worry about it Sakura. I'll take care of everything and trust me, him and his family will love you," Eriol said as the bell rang that they were on their floor and needed to get out.
"…"
"Please Sakura. He really needs this and I promise not to ask you for another favor for at least a month," Eriol said as he saw her smile and laugh at him.
"…Oh, all right then. I'll do it," Sakura said as they walked together.
"Good," Eriol said as he motioned for her to come with him.
"But,"
"Don't worry, everything will be okay," Eriol said as they walked inside his apartment.
"Syaoran!" Eriol called as he closed the door and looked around the room for him.
"What?" asked a voice from behind Sakura as she tripped over her feet.
"Hoe!" Sakura said as she closed her eyes when she felt herself begin to fall.
She waited, but felt nothing except for the warmth of another's body. She opened her eyes and looked into a pair of stormy amber eyes that she never saw before, but felt that she could lose herself in them.
"Are you all right?" said the voice as he stared back at her.
"Um…yes," Sakura said as she finally realized how he was holding her.
"Sorry about that," he said as he let her go and walked over to Eriol to ask what was going on.
"Syaoran, I would like for you to meet your fiancé," Eriol said as he saw the look on both of their faces, and couldn't resist smirking.
"Mother, are you sure that he does have a fiancé?" asked one of Syaoran's sisters.
"I'm not so sure, Fuutie, but I have a feeling about this though. I think that he might actually try to do something, but I'm not so sure though," Syaoran's mother said as she looked outside.
"I hope she is a sweet girl and very kind hearted. Syaoran needs someone like that in my opinion," Fanren said as she walked inside the study.
"Do not say such things about little brother," Feimei said as she also walked in.
"What about little brother?" Sheifa asked, walking in too.
"Girls, girls, please be nice when they arrive here and try not to scare her off," their mother said as she looked at them all sternly, knowing how they could all get.
"When is Tomoyo coming over?" Fuutie asked as she changed the subject.
"I don't know, but I hope she gets her so we can plan on what we are going to do when they both get here," Feimei said as they all giggled.
'Girls will be girls,' their mother thought as she walked out of the study, wondering about what Syaoran had said was true.
"So, do you both agree to these terms?" Eriol asked as the three of them sat around the table.
"All I have to do then is just act like as if we really were in love and just play along with anything that should come our way," Sakura said as she looked at both of their faces, but mostly Eriol because she didn't want to stare at Syaoran.
"Yes. What about you Syaoran? Any questions or anything?" Eriol asked as he looked at him.
"…"
"Okay then, we will all be leaving tomorrow," Eriol said as they all stood up.
"Tomorrow?!" Sakura and Syaoran said as they looked at each other and then back to Eriol.
"Yes," Eriol said as he gave them all their tickets.
"But how did you know about this?" Sakura said as she took her ticket.
"Just a guess and besides, the sooner we leave, the sooner you both can stop acting and everything," Eriol said as he knew that something was going on between them, but he couldn't think of anything just yet.
"So, Tomoyo, you mad since you won't marry cousin?" asked a girl, as she looked herself in the mirror.
"Yeah, a little bit. I mean, the times that I was with him, he seemed to be a nice kind of guy and I liked him. But I don't think I liked him enough to marry him. Besides, I bet you there is someone out there, just waiting for me," Tomoyo thought as she walked around her.
"I think is your best design yet, Tomoyo," she said as she admired the dress.
"Thank you Meilin, I'm glad that you like it," Tomoyo said, smiling sadly.
'I do wish that it was me that he was going to marry instead of that girl that he meet in Japan,' Tomoyo thought sadly as she felt her dreams shatter.
'Poor Tomoyo, I know that she really did like him, but who ever this girl is, she better not try anything funny while she is here,' Meilin said as she Tomoyo's smiling sadly in the mirror.
