Demons for My Roommates (Cardcaptor Sakura fanfic)

Chapter 3: Living with the Demons

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Sakura reached for her alarm clock as it rang loudly beside her. Sakura moaned as she didn't want to get up from bed. Then a second later, Sakura eyes widen as she realized she late for school.

"Oh no!" shouted Sakura as stumbled out of her bed. Sakura quickly rushed towards the bathroom. Sakura grabbed toothbrush and brushed her teeth as she took off her clothes one by one. Sakura quickly rinsed her mouth and opened the shower curtain widely.

Sakura froze as she could hear the shower water running in front of her. She had forgotten that she wasn't living alone anymore.

"So, you're just going to stand there... naked?" asked Syaoran.

"AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

Yukito flipped the pancake up high.

Drooling, Kero watched Yukito, who was in his white apron, toss the pancake again and then slid it onto a plate.

"Yay! I love pancake!" said Kero, excitedly.

"Didn't that sound like Sakura?" wondered Yukito.

"Are we really not going to do anything about her?" said Eriol as walked into the dining room.

"Eriol, you got to admit, this location is perfect for us to be free. We don't have to hide our true form all the time," said Kero as he took a bite of his pancake.

"Why can't we just get rid of her?" said Eriol.

"And if we do, who will take responsibility if the situation gets worse?" said Yukito.

"I was really surprised she was able to catch me last night. I never seen a human that fast before," said Kero.

"Since she doesn't have her sight, her other sense must be above normal than others," commented Eriol as he felt uneasy about Sakura.

"No worries Eriol. When she gets suspicious again, you can knock her out like last night," said Yukito, sarcastically. Eriol could sense that Yukito didn't like his decision to suddenly knock out Sakura cold when she grabbed Kero.

"Can we distinguish which bathroom is mine?" said Syaoran as he joined in.

"That scream must have come from the bathroom. Did something happened?" asked Yukito.

"No, nothing happened," answered Syaoran as he avoided Yukito's eye contact.

Sakura, exhaustedly, walked downstairs as she wore her school uniform. "That's right, I have four roommates now. Strange, I don't remember going back to sleep last night," thought Sakura.

"Good morning Sakura!" greeted Yukito with a smile.

"Would you like some breakfast?" asked Yukito.

"It's delicious!!" added Kero as he stuffs himself with more pancakes.

"Breakfast?" retorted Sakura as she suddenly felt hungry. It had been years since she had breakfast. Touya usually make her breakfast every morning until he got a new job. Sakura snapped out of her day dream and remember she was late for school.

"Thank you, but I'm late for school," said Sakura.

Yukito glanced at the clock and noticed it was only 7am in the morning.

"You're leaving this early?" said Yukito.

"I usually go early to avoid traffic and people," said Sakura as she held up her long stick. Yukito observed Sakura's school uniform. She was wearing a navy top and a white skirt. She had a red strip on her collar of her skirt. Yukito then glanced at Syaoran and Eriol, who was also wearing the same type of uniform.

"What a coincidence! Syaoran and Eriol is transferring to your school today. Both of you can escort her to school," said Yukito, happily.

"WHAT?!" Sakura, Syaoran, and Eriol all shout out.

Sakura bit her lower lips, nervously. "They go to my school! This can't be true!" thought Sakura, frantically.

"Here, have a seat Sakura. I made some pancake and it's all from organic ingredients," said Yukito as he offered Sakura a plate of pancake. Sakura awkwardly sat on the table.

"Here is a fork," said Kero as he handed Sakura a fork.

"I can't go to school with them. I need a plan," thought Sakura as she unconsciously took a bite of her pancake.

Sakura eyes widen, surprised. "This is delicious," said Sakura.

Yukito smiled gratefully. "Thank you, Sakura. I'm glad you like it."

Within seconds, Sakura finished her first plate. "Can I eat some more?"

"Of course," said Yukito.

"Me too! Me too!" yelled out Kero, excitedly.

"I'm leaving," said Eriol as he walked out of the dining room.

Before Syaoran left the scene, Yukito stopped him by calling him out loud. "Syaoran, how nice of you to volunteer to go to school with Sakura."

Sakura froze as she forgotten about school. "Oh shoot! I need a plan!"

Syaoran sighed out loud. "You're coming?" said Syaoran as he walked out of the dining room. Surprisingly, Sakura could hear his footsteps.

"Y-yeah," said Sakura as she followed Syaoran.

"Isn't she lovely," said Yukito with a smile.

Ignoring Yukito comment, Kero held out his plate. "Can I have some more?"

Sakura followed Syaoran as they walked down the quiet street. Sakura could feel her cheeks warm up as she thought back when Syaoran caught her in the bathroom, naked.

Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.

"This is embarrassing. I need to get away from him as soon as I can," thought Sakura.

Syaoran glanced over at Sakura, who was using a long white stick to guide her. Sakura stopped as she took out her roller blade from her bag pack. Syaoran observed Sakura, who was switching her shoes to her roller blade.

"What are you doing?" asked Syaoran, curiously.

"There's no need to guide me. I can go to school just fine by myself," said Sakura as she put her shoes into her bag.

"And to be very clear, let's pretend we don't know each other at school," said Sakura as she quickly rode off. Syaoran, amazingly, watch Sakura rode away without her stick.

"Now, that is interesting," said Eriol as he appeared on the tree above Syaoran.

At the right moment, Sakura took a turn at the end of the street. She continued to ride her blade without hesitation. Sakura always had her routine. At the right time and place, she can measure each stop sign, bus stop, and when people began their day. To avoid all commotion, Sakura always had a habit getting up early in the morning. Except for today, everything was a mess from the moment she woke up.

"Watch out!" someone shouted out loud. Sakura startled as she heard a voice in front of her. Sakura was riding in full speed toward a group of children. Usually at this time, Sakura will avoid pre-school bus. Sakura try to brake, but it was no use. She was going too fast. Sakura closed her eyes as she quickly changed her direction. Suddenly appearing out of nowhere, Syaoran grabbed Sakura as he pulled her away from the brick wall. Sakura and Syaoran both fell onto the cold cement.

"Are you crazy? Why do you even bother riding that thing if you can't see?" asked Syaoran, angrily.

Sakura slowly opened her eyes as she felt Syaoran's arms around her.

"That's impossible. How did you caught up with me?" asked Sakura, shocked. Sakura quickly got up from the cold ground.

"Who are you? What are you? I left you a while ago, but you caught up as if I didn't go too far," said Sakura, frantically.

BAM!

Eriol suddenly appeared behind Sakura's back and knocked her off cold. Eriol quickly caught Sakura into his arms as she fainted.

"Now, you're in trouble," said Eriol. Syaoran sighed out as he realized his new school uniform was torn from the fall.
