Hero and Heroine
Chapter Six
Syaoran woke up at 9:48 am. He got up walked over to his window saw all the people in the park across the street then went to get dress. He walked into the kitchen grabbed a bowl, cereal, and some milk. He was eating and everything was fine.
'Today is perfect. No evil villains, no little girl saving the day, no roommate bothering me with her cheerfulness. She should sleep in late more often.'
Syaoran got up put his bowl in the sink and went to watch some television. After about an hour and a half the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hi this is Anna Gomez I'm calling about the modeling job."
"I think you have the wrong number."
"Isn't this 287-8989?"
Syaoran was starting to get confused. "Yes that's the right number but I think someone played a trick on you. This isn't a modeling agency."
"Oh no, I'm calling about a Ms. Sakura Kinomoto. She does live there right?"
"Yeah, um… but she's not here right now."
"Fine. Just tell her to call Anna when she gets home. Bye."
Syaoran hung up the phone wrote down the message and headed straight to Sakura's room and knocked on the door.
"Sakura. Sakura. Sakura! Wake up."
He got sick of knocking and yelling at the door so he just walked in.
'Where is she? Her bed is made the place is clean, this room doesn't match the rest of the apartment.'
He looked around the room and noticed the gentle pink theme throughout the whole room. The light shinned brightly through the pink curtains.
"Wow, this is a girly room. Really girly."
He put the message down on her nightstand and left.
Meanwhile Sakura was at work.
"Sakura you need to change into the other set of clothes for fitting before the dragon lady gets angry."
"I know, I'll be there in a second."
'I can't take it anymore. This is the worst company by far. But I can't leave, Tomoyo works here plus she's the one that got me the job. It would be rude for me to go now.'
Sakura quickly snapped out of her little daze and went back to work.
"Sakura where were you? The dragon lady came by a second ago and I told her you were in the bathroom."
"Thanks I owe you one."
"Forget about it. You need to start concentrating more and stop dazing off all the time.
"Yeah, thanks." And she was off to another photo shoot.
Later that day…
Sakura walked in the apartment at about 5:00pm.
"Oh, I'm so tired." Sakura let her body go and fell on the couch.
"Talking to yourself?"
Sakura looked over towards the kitchen. "I didn't know you were there."
Syaoran rolled his eyes "Obviously."
Then there was a knock at the door. Sakura got up and opened the door revealing a tall thin man around his late twenties standing there with a little grin on his face.
"Hello." Sakura had a sweet smile on even though she was tired.
"Hi, I'm your new neighbor I just moved in 6A and wanted to say hello."
She opened the door wider. "Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?"
"I'd love to."
When this man entered he was all smiles until he saw a man starring at him from the kitchen.
"Oh, I'm sorry I wasn't aware you had company." The man was speaking of Syaoran.
Sakura looked at Syaoran. "Oh it's ok, he's not company."
The stranger smiled again. "Is he your brother?"
"No, this is Syaoran my roommate. Syaoran this is…" Then Sakura realized that she didn't know the name of her new neighbor."
"Um…I don't think you've told me your name."
"I'm Donald, but my friends call me DD."
"Hi Donald, I'm Sakura Kinomoto and this is Syaoran Li."
Donnie put a sly look on his face. "YOU can call me DD."
Syaoran cut in. "Well DD we don't know you that well so if you don't mind please use our last names."
DD's voice lowered a bit. "Sure no problem, well if you'll excuse me I'm sorry that I can't stay for that cup of tea but I will love to get together with you some other time."
"Yeah sure, just knock if you need anything." Sakura walked him to the door and returned to the kitchen where she noticed Syaoran was starring at her.
"What?"
"How can you do that?"
"Do what?"
"You let in a complete stranger in here and Lord knows what he could've done to you."
"Hey, he wasn't going to do anything. He's seems nice."
Syaoran got up and put his arm on her shoulder. "Did you see the look on that guy's face when he found out I was your roommate. He was disappointed. Plus he didn't even tell you his name. He could have done anything to you and you couldn't do anything about it because you didn't know his name."
"Give me a break. I'm sorry for having such bad judgment in people."
"It's not that you have bad judgment it's just that you assume the best of everyone. You're too nice and innocent for this kind of thinking."
Sakura had the biggest smile on her face.
Syaoran took a step back.. "What's wrong with you?"
"I never thought you liked me as a person. You are always so distant and cold I could never tell."
"Stop all that sensitive stuff."
Sakura put her hands on her hips. "Well I am a girl. And girls are very sensitive."
"Yeah, yeah." Syaoran waved her off as he left to go watch television.
Sakura put a smile on her face and went into her room.
As soon as Sakura closed her door Syaoran remembered that he didn't give her the message.
"Sakura! Sakura! I know you can hear me." Syaoran got off the couch still yelling to her.
"I thought you were supposed to be sensitive? Can't even hear when someone is yelling your name."
He was at the door and put his hand on the knob. "If I see something I'm not supposed to it's not my fault."
When he opened her door he found that she wasn't there. Her windows were open and the pink curtains were waving in the wind.
"Where could she have gone?"
As for Sakura she was flying in the sky heading for an abandon warehouse. She had a vision that something bad, something evil was going to happen there. The only problem is she didn't know what or when this was supposed to happen.
"How do I get myself into these situations? I should just stay home one day and focus on NOT trying to be a super hero."
Then she heard something in the bushes. She turned around and took gentle steps towards the moving bush.
"I've got you now!" Sakura reached her hand in the bush and retreved a small brown cat.
"Meow." The cat was looking at her with those big blue eyes.
"You're so cute!" She started to pet the cat. "Someone as cute as you shouldn't be here all alone."
Back at the apartment Syaoran was starting to think all kinds of things.
'What if she ran away? No, only little girls do that. Maybe she was kidnapped. But who would take her?'
Then finally it hit him.
'It must have been that Donald guy.'
Syaoran went to open the door. When he did he found Sakura on the other side about to put her key in.
"Hello!" She had such a huge smile on her face.
Syaoran pulled her in the apartment and shut the door. "Where have you been?"
"I just came from Tomoyo's house."
Syaoran looked at her with amazement
'It's like she doesn't know what I'm talking about.' He snapped out of his thoughts.
"I mean one second you were here and then the next you were gone. What did you do leave through the window?"
She looked down at her feet in a childish way. "Well kind of."
Syaoran was shocked. "What grown woman leaves through a window?"
Sakura finally looked at his eyes. "A happy one?" She wasn't sure if that was the answer he wanted to hear.
Syaoran shook his head and laid down in the couch. "Someone called for you earlier. I forgot her name but she said something about modeling. I wrote the message down somewhere but I don't remember where I put it."
"Thanks. I think I'll turn in now I'm kind of tired."
Sakura was walking away but stopped when she heard Syaoran call her name.
"Sakura."
She turned around. "Yes?"
"Do you sleep walk?"
"No, why?"
"I just wanted to know in case I woke up tomorrow and found you missing with your window open."
"Good night!" With that Sakura left him there thinking, but it wasn't about Sakura, it was about Cherry Blossom.
'I wonder who she really is? I have to meet her tomorrow, but is this a set up or am I just paranoid?
Hey everybody! Hope you liked this chapter. Sorry about the long update but I forgot that I haven't updated in over a month. Once I realized this I started working right away. I can't stand it when I'm following a good story and then I have to wait for long updates. Except for one story 'Not Everything Is Easy' that is such a great story I would wait years for them to finish.
Anyway R+R!!!
Thanks!
