Alrighty! For some odd reason CCS dragged me back into its purpose. .' And I've missed everything! Oh well.

Chapter 1- Meet Your New Roomie!

"I can't believe you're finally out of here," 15-year-old Sakura said excitedly to Touya as she helped stuffed piles of clothes into one bag.

"You're that excited to get me out of the house? You don't like me anymore?" her older brother pretend-pouted and he lightly "accidentally" pushed Sakura.

"Dad's renting out your room so we can afford your college intuition," she said with happiness in her face.

"WHAT!" Touya marched out the room, down the stairs, and into the kitchen where is father was reading the paper and sipping coffee. "YOU RENTED OUT MY ROOM!"

"Well Touya, if you wanted the money for college, we've all must make sacrifices," Mr. Kinomoto explained patiently from his son's hot temper.

"But my room….?"

"Yes, and I'm interviewing our first taker this afternoon."

"So you knew I was leaving today and as soon as I step out this door, another stranger skips in!"

"It's not like we picked him already, fathead!" Sakura came through the kitchen and went to the fridge. "Besides, it'd be nice to get to know new people. This guy coming over today is from Alabama in America."

"Oh great, another foreigner. Five bucks he's gonna be like the brat you like," Touya snorted at the idea of some guy from America to live in this house.

"Syaoran's not a brat, and I like him as a friend! And if you say anything about it I'll kick my foot up your-"

"As I was saying," Mr. Kinomoto interrupted their argument, "he should be coming around about this aft-," The doorbell echoed through the household. The siblings broke into a run, nearly breaking their necks getting to the door first; fortunately, their father reached the door before either could.

"Is this is Kinomoto residence?" A tall, scruffy-looking teen leaned on the doorframe. He had navy blue hair, which was barely seen with the baseball cap on his head and dark gray eyes. He wore a yellow, partially torn football jersey with a white long-sleeve shirt underneath and blue jeans. Behind him were a caged ferret and a duffle bag. "I'm Kenneth Madden." He extended his hand for a handshake.

"Welcome Kenneth," Mr. Kinomoto shook his hand. "Please come in." Kenneth picked up his cage and bag and walked into the house.

"I don't like him," Touya blurted out with hatred.

"Touya! Go finish packing as I talk to Kenneth," his father pointed to the stairs. Touya glared at Kenneth one last time before stalking back up the steps.

"Please, call me Kenny." He placed his ferret on a table and sat on the couch.

"Alright Kenny, tell us, why you pick our house?" Mr. Kinomoto started the survey.

"Well, I was transferred by my mom, and we forgot to reserve a place for me a stay as I finish high school." As they continued to talk, Sakura was looking at the animal Kenny brought into the house. Its fur was so gray that it could've been mistaken for a blackish color. The ferret stared at Sakura and its surroundings with interest.

"So cute," Sakura said in awe.

"Sakura, don't touch Kenny's pet." Her dad said sternly. "He might bite since he hasn't seen you before."

"That's Benji. He's harmless, sir. Which brings me to this: Would my pet be able to stay in your home?"

"Of course, as long as he doesn't tear up anything." The interview continued on for another hour from question to question to question. "Final question: Will you make your rent every month?"

"If I'm a day late, you can kick me to the curve."

"I don't think I'd be that rash. When can you move in?"

"In a few minutes. I've been sleeping in my car for 3 days."

"Welcome to the Kinomoto family, Kenny," Mr. Kinomoto stood up and shook Kenny's hand once more.

"Thank you, sir. Mind if I look around the room?"

"I'll tour you. Let me help you with your bags," Sakura offered as she carefully lifted Benji's cage. Kenny followed Sakura up the stairs and down the hall. "To your left is my room. Your right is the bathroom. You other left is your room. On the other right is my dad's room. And the room at the end of the hall is the closet with the towels and stuff." They entered Touya's room and noticed he was still packing. He was mumbling to himself and shoving items in different bags and boxes.

"You need help… uh… we didn't have a good introduction," Kenny said unsure.

"Touya. It's Touya," he replied stiffly. "Don't touch my stuff." He glared at the navy-haired teen head to toe. "There's something I don't trust about you." With that, he marched out the room with bags and boxes at hand.

"Please forgive him," Sakura placed Benji on a desk. "He just found out today someone's moving in."

"Ah. I'd do the same. I'm gonna get the rest of my stuff. Maybe I could talk to your brother more."

That evening, the Kinomoto family and Kenny has a fare-a-well and welcoming party for Touya and Kenny by making all of Touya's favorite foods. Sakura's brother continued to glare with pure hatred (A/N: Not just hatred!) at the new teen. He left after dinner to register at his college and meet up with Yukito, whom is his roommate. As everyone was preparing to sleep, Kenny was sitting on his bed playing checkers with his ferret, Benji.

"When do you think they suspect anything?" Kenny asked.

"The only one I'd think would think some is that kid that left," Benji replied, placing his king over 3 of Kenny's red. "Other than him, I think they're all clueless. King me."

"If it stays like this, the Clow Cards will return back to its rightful owner before that we-cant-tell-the-readers comes." Kenny jumped all of Benji's blacks and reached his end and back with only one red left. "I win."

"Bastard. You cheated!" Kenny covered the ferret's mouth before he got any louder and dropped him back into his cage.

"Idiot. They're all not asleep!" Soon, a knock was heard at the door. "Come in." Sakura poked her head through the door and smiled.

"I thought you'd be tired." Sakura sat on his bed.

"I kind of am. I had to finish unpacking as much as I can before tomorrow."

"Alright." She rose from her seat and walked out the door. "Goodnight, Ken-kun."

"Night…" Kenny said, wondering what the heck the "kun" meant.

Well, whatcha think? Please review! I'm old ;o;  ish 16…
