Demons for My Roommate
SUM: I saw her staring at me with those wide emerald eyes. Her pupil did not move. She did not blink. She has no expression. She has no fear. I leaned close to her until our eyes are only an inch apart and asked her, "Are you blind?"

Chapter 1: Unwanted Guests
~*~Sakura POV~*~
'Touya please forgive me… I sold our house!' I thought regretfully.
It has been five years since our father was in a coma after being hit by a crazy driver. Ever since then, Touya and I tried to pay the medical bills along with our living expense. Touya moved out of the city and work as a fisherman as I stayed behind to watch my father.
I hid behind the wall of my secret room. My father built this house before I was born. And he made a special room for my mother as a gift. No one knows about this room except for our family. The entrance to this room is disguised as a normal wall. It was a perfect place to hide when you are expecting unwanted guests.
"This place is puny" I heard someone said on the other side the wall.
"Why are we moving here again?" someone said in a disappointed tone.
"Stop whining. This place is isolated from the city which give us privacy we need" someone else explained.
"Only four rooms, huh?" said another voice. Wait a minute, how many people are moving in? So far I heard four difference voices.
"Well, I like it" Make that five different voices.
"I want my own room!" shouted a voice as I heard him run upstairs.
"Not a chance!"
What a bother. I was expecting a family of three to move in, but five guys? It's alright, because my plan was brilliant. I lived here all my life; I know every corner of this house. And since I have excellent hearing skills, I can avoid any encounter with anyone before they see me. My plan was plain and simple; I'm going to live here secretly.
Then suddenly the secret entrance opened widely.
"Found you" he said. I opened my eyes widely, shocked. My entire body was frozen stiff. Have I just been discovered? But how? How did he find me? It's like he knew I was here the entire time.
"You must be Sakura Kinomoto" said another person as I heard him walked toward me.
I opened my mouth in shocked. How does he know my name?
"My name is Yue. Ms. Mizuki told us about your unfortunate event" said Yue
"Kaho?" I said. Kaho Mizuki is a good friend of my dad. She helped us through many hardships after our father accident. She was also the one who helped me sell this house.
"She did told you about the offer we made with her, right?" said Yue
"Offer?" I retorted, clueless
"By selling this house to us, we decided to take you in as our roommate" explained Yue
"Roommate?" Have you ever had that moment when you just stand there like an idiot who have no idea what was going on? Well, that's me right now. What did he meant 'by selling this house to us?' If I remember correctly, I wanted to sell this house.
"Plus free rent" he added
My eyes sparkled with joy. "F-free?"
"Now, I'll introduce you to the rest of your roommate" said Yue. Then suddenly I heard clamorous voices from upstairs.
"How dare you bit my ear?"
"Yue save me!"
I heard Yue sighed. "Enough. Both of you have to share a room" said Yue
"What?" I heard both shouted out loud.
"Quiet down, can't you see our new roommate here" said Yue
"Our new roommate is a girl?" someone said in disbelief.
"Even better, she's cute." said Yue.
"This is Sakura." Yue introduced.
"Hello! My name is Takashi!"
"And this is Kero. Don't be offended because he is hiding underneath a cloth. It's just how he is" said Yue.
"Cloth?" I said, sadly.
"Nice to meet you Sakura! I'm the awesome one out of all these guys" said Kero.
"Why are you the awesome one?" wondered Takashi
"Cause I don't bit ears randomly…" said Kero in an unpleasant tone.
"You don't? Then who does?" asked Takashi.
"You do!" shouted Kero, irritated.
I unknowingly giggled as I heard their argument. Then suddenly someone's forehead leaned against mine.
I gasped, surprised.
"Are you blind?" he asked, disrespectfully. I stood perfectly still, not breathing a single air, as I felt a dangerous predator staring at me.
"Um…Yes" I answered slowly. The moment he moved away from me, I released my breath. I could hear him walk away from me. Suddenly, the atmosphere became really quiet.
"I'm sorry Sakura. We didn't know…" said Yue
"No, its okay. I'm usually good at hiding it" I said
"That was Syaoran. He was the one who wanted to buy this house" said Yue. Strange. Why would he want to buy my house?
"I do have a question." I said.
"Yes, you will be living with five handsome de- I mean guys" said Yue.
There goes my brilliant plan to live here secretly. It was true I was blind, but I never felt this much fear or nervous in my entire life. Am I really going to live with five guys? Wait, I should be happy. This means I can live here! But why am I feeling uneasy?
"Don't be nervous Sakura, I'll protect you from these wild animals" said Kero
"Don't believe him. He is the most temper one among all of us" said Takashi
"That's it! You're asking for it!" shouted out Kero. I heard Takashi and Kero run around the house.
"I wouldn't get too excited if I were you" I heard him say as he walked closer to me
"You can call me Eriol and just to warn you." Eriol stepped closer to me and whispered into my ears.
"You are going to regret selling this house to us" said Eriol in a very cold tone. I could feel cold chills breezing across my skins. I can already feel hostile from him.
"Don't mind him" said Yue
"If anyone of these guys bothers you, just tell me. I'll take care of them." said Yue.
"Um... Thank you, but I can take care of myself." I said with confidence.
"Here, I got you a present." Yue handed me a heavy stick.
"I'm really fine." I told him.
"It's a sword. I made it extra sharp." said Yue.
"S-sword?" I questioned.
"It's a first time we had a girl for a roommate. Feel free to poke anyone with it" said Yue.
"Poke?" I questioned.
"If you don't mind, I'm going to look around" said Yue as he walked off
I stood alone next to my secret room. Seriously, something is very strange around here. I held tightly onto my sword, repeating "free rent" over and over again in my head. That's all it matter, right?
Sometimes I ask myself, why am I writing this story? There is something about this story that challenges me… Well, bring it on! Hehehe. If you're interested for more, let me know~ Thanks for reading!
