"It's been two weeks already!" sakura said, pacing back and forth frantically, "It's not like her to just disappear without a word! Oh Tomoyo, where are you?"

Walking down the unfamiliar streets of London, going by the new name of Theresa Diamond, Tomoyo had tried to start a new life. In her hand was a scrap of paper with an address quickly scribbled on it. Tomoyo paused where she was, glanced at the address she held, the street name hanging in the post above her, and then back again to the paper she held…. The symbols did not match, and Tomoyo was beginning to thing that either the airport staff gave her wrong directions, or she misinterpreted it. With a groan, Tomoyo curse under her breath in the native tongue of Japanese, Why did she have to pick London of all places? Sure she's learned English before, but how much are you really going to remember after six years? "Kuso, just my luck…"

"Lost?" a cheery female behind her asked.


            Tomoyo spun around, surprised to have met another Japanese speaker so soon. "H-hai, I need to find this place." Handing the eccentric stranger the address.

Ruby eyes scanned over the numbers and letters and lit up almost instantly. Suddenly jumping up and down, squealing like a child in a candy store, the young woman exclaimed, "Theresa! I'm so glad to meet you! I was wondering when you'd show up! I'm Akizuki Nakuru, your flatmate," introducing herself in the traditional Japanese form of surnames first, " you can just call me Nakuru!"

Eyes widened in surprise at the bouncing redhead. "Flatmate?" Tomoyo inquired, raising an eyebrow, "Really? You?"

Nakuru's mood took a sharp one-eighty swerve from ecstatic to down right depressed. " You don't like me? I'm not that detestable am I? Or did I do something wrong? Or say something you didn't like? I'm sorry if I did, Ms. Diamond I—"

"No, no, no, stop!" cutting off a nearly hysterical Nakuru, "No, I'm don't find anything wrong, you seem to be a wonderful person, Nakuru, I just never imagined we would meet like thins!" Tomoyo exclaimed.

"Oh! Now that you've mentioned it, this is an add way to meet! "Reverting back to her bouncy-ness.

" Now let's get on the road to home!" Nakuru cried, pointing straight ahead. She started marching forward enthusiastically to where she pointed, until she paused after a few steps. Pivoting on her heels, she slowly turned around, still in the same stance as when she began, then she giggled. " Oops, wrong way. It's THIS WAAA~Y"

Tomoyo laughed at her new friend's antics. Maybe with Nakuru's help, she would be able to start again.
