Syaoran is their next-door neighbor, and had feelings for Sakura, although he chooses not to show it in her company. Sakura believes that he hates her, and reciprocates those feelings. So what kind of chaos will ensue when Eriol finally comes to see 'Sakura', and Syaoran gets jealous?

Authoress Notes: Hello. It is the return of me: better known as: Moon Sunflower 6389, Moon Sunflower 89, Moon Sunflower, and any other name I had that I can't quite remember at this place in time. Well, I guarantee you that this penname will not change. 2005 is an important year for me, and I like Moon Kitty, so it will stay Moon Kitty 2005.

So… I will try to be out here at Lake Elsinore at least once every week so I can visit and post another chapter. Enjoy the story!

Accidental
Chapter One
It was the middle of December, a light snow settling over the city of Tomoeda. Two young girls, one auburn-haired, the other gray-haired, one with a bored expression on her face. The auburn-haired one sighed, her bangs blowing out from her tanned forehead. The other bit her lip, watching a compelling TV movie that was loosely based around Christmastime. It featured the same old story: a girl who realizes that all she's wanted for Christmas was the boy standing right next to her, and yada, yada, yada…
The auburn-haired girl known as Sakura raised the juice box to her lips, glancing over at her friend, Tomoyo. "Do you really find this sappy crap interesting?" She stood, walking leisurely to the kitchen to throw her juice box away and fixing the thermostat so it read a solid 80 degrees. She sat back down on the couch, awaiting her friend's answer.
The other nodded slowly, not once tearing her amethyst eyes away from the screen. The colors flashed across her face and she smiled tremulously, looking as if she were about to cry. "It's so romantic, Sakura. This girl… what she went through… she's so strong!"
Sakura sighed, the ringing of their doorbell making her jump. She glanced over at Tomoyo, who had made no movements whatsoever. She smiled and playfully rolled her eyes. "Oh, no, please! Let me get it!" She opened the door, her warm smile immediately fading and her emerald eyes coming together in a icy expression. She placed one hand on her hip and the other on the door, a smirk crossing her face. "Here to ruin my Christmas, Scrooge?"
A man with chocolate-colored hair and amber eyes stared back at her with an expression just as frigid. "If only we could all be so lucky as to ruin your Christmas, Sakura." He handed her a white envelope, a red stamp across the front. "That damn mailman switched our apartments again."
She took it from him, sighing. "That's really bad. I mean, everyone in this apartment knows that your address is the Pits of Hell."
He stared at her with a bored expression and turned around, waving over his shoulder. "Whatever, bitch."
Sakura bristled. It was those casual dismissals that got her so riled up. She would try to insult her, and he would just look at her with a hollow expression, then turn away and wave her off as if she was no more important than a pesky fly. She gritted her teeth, desperately trying to resist the urge of pouncing on his back and ripping out his hair with her bare hands. She inhaled and exhaled slowly, shutting the door before the cold permeated the living room, turning back to Tomoyo, tossing the envelope on the coffee table nonchalantly.
She sat on the couch, crossed her legs, and began to think to herself while Tomoyo blew her nose noisily on a clean tissue, adding to the already mountainous pile she had. Sakura sighed inwardly and put her face into her hands. She really didn't want to spend Christmas alone this year… again. Well, technically speaking, she did have Tomoyo to spend it with, but what she meant wasn't… that. She wanted… a male to spend it with. No doubt men found her attractive, judging by the numerous questions she had encountered in all the nineteen years of her life. But she had politely turned them all down, not feeling a certain spark between them.
To tell the truth, Sakura had felt a little spark between herself and Syaoran when they had first met. But that spark had quickly diminished when he had insulted her apartment. It was the only think she could afford, and she had worked hard to rent a place where her and Tomoyo could stay. Telling her that her apartment looked like a 'downtown slum' had severely hurt her pride. And then the wars began.
Tomoyo, the indecisive third party would simply giggle whenever they fought, telling them both whenever she got a chance that they fought like an old married couple and she thought they would make a cute couple, emitting loud groans from the two.
Tomoyo's TV movie was finally over, and she turned to Sakura, traces of tears still on her cheeks. "Did you say something, Sakura?"
Sakura exhaled sharply and looked at her, smiling happily. "Actually, I did. I was thinking, how cool would it be to put us on a dating website? Maybe then, we could meet the guys of our dreams. Of course, there's no such thing as 'the perfect man'."
"There is for you," Tomoyo chuckled, rising to dump her colossal pile of tissues in the trash can.
"Hoe?" Sakura looked extremely puzzled, her emerald eyes soaking in the information with just a hint of distrust. "What the hell are you talking about, Tomoyo? I haven't met any guys. You seriously are going crazy."
Tomoyo put a slender finger to her chin, staring up at the ceiling to avoid Sakura's confused gaze, one she knew would turn horribly violent as soon as the words slipped from her mouth. "I don't know about that, Sakura. I mean, there is one very handsome one next door."
Sakura just stared at her, her face expressionless. Tomoyo braced herself, thinking the worst were to come. However, she was surprised when Sakura simply shrugged, pulling a small piece of auburn hair from her face. "The only woman that jackass could get is a dung beetle."
Tomoyo giggled nervously, hoping to stop Sakura before she went on another of her rants about that 'conceited, self-absorbed, ugly, dirty-minded jackass named Li Syaoran'. She thought about what Sakura had said a few moments ago, seriously considering it. "You mean, you want me to put you on a dating website?"
Sakura's thoughts were immediately transferred from Syaoran to the idea that she had had. "Yeah! Wouldn't it be cool if we both went on it and somehow, magically found the man of our dreams to pamper us and love us for the rest of our lives?"
Tomoyo raised a finely-arched eyebrow inquisitively and smiled. "Well, I'll put you on there, but I'm not so sure about myself. I'd rather find true love on a chance encounter." At this, her eyes became sparkly and she clasped her hands, entering Tomoyo-world.
Sakura sweat dropped, although she was happy that her plan was actually going to be put to fruition. She clasped Tomoyo's hand and pumped it up and down. "Tomoyo, my friend, I think we have a deal!"
