Brother : Intro
By: tintoii
"Touya," Dad called from the kitchen. "Would you please bring this up to Sakura?" He handed me the tray as I nodded in response. "I'll be going off soon… Take care of Sakura for today…" He said as he washed his hands and dried them with the napkin nearby.
As I reached the stairs I heard the front door open and I said goodbye to me dad. I carried the tray up to Sakura's room. I knocked on her door before I entered. Balancing the tray with one hand, I opened the door with the other. "Good Morning Sakura…"
She was lying on her bad, under the sheets. She was sweating. Eyes closed, her mouth half-open. Her Kero doll was by her head sitting dully. It was a sight for me to see. I have seen her grown from a very cute little sister to a mature woman.
I love my sister. I love her more than anything in the world. It would be hard for me to leave. But at the same time, it is hard to love her like this. You see, I love her more than a sister. I love her. And it pains me to know that I should never have these kinds of feelings for her. It isn't right, right? Loving your sister in a different light is a bad thing, it is somewhat considered taboo. But why can't I stop myself?
I took the chair from her study table and placed it beside her bed. I sat and placed the tray on my lap. "Sakura," I called to her. "Sit up so I can feed this to you. You'll take your medicine after." She gently opened her eyes and looked up at me. I gave her a reassuring smile and she nodded. I helped her sit up as she forced her body to move. She coughed a few times but she was ok.
She smiled at me and said in a very faint and rough voice, "thank you". It melted my heart and my heart was beating faster.
This is going to be a long day…
"Sakura, breakfast is ready!" I called for her. Few minutes later, she came running down the stairs in her very short skirt. She's in her last year of junior high, and so I am I as a senior high. I'll be off to college after that.
"Here," I placed her food on the table as she greeted mom. I sat at my chair which was opposite to Sakura's. She took her seat soon after and started eating her meal. "Dad would be gone for a week. So were by ourselves for the time being. I'm on my leave for work so it should be okay." She nodded in response and continued eating. I started to eat too then asked, "You feeling better today?"
She swallowed her food then answered, "Yup…Much better now, thanks to you." She said and smile. "Good," I answered and continued eating. "Just don't stress yourself too much okay?" I added.
"okay…Oh, By the way… I might come home late today. Syaoran wanted to tell me something…So we'll talk later." I paused when I heard her…Syaoran is her boyfriend… It damn hurts…
"Okay…" was what I answered.

"Sakura…I'm going back to Hong Kong tonight." Syaoran told her.
"What?" She exclaimed. "Why are you telling me this now?"
"I was afraid…"
Sakura cried and forced her way out of his arms. She stepped back and shouted at him. It was a chilly night. She could only see the outline of his figure because of poor light. She turned around and ran home.
Syaoran cried as he too turned around and went his way.

I was preparing dinner when I heard the front door open. It closed with a loud bang and I saw Sakura quickly ran up stairs and then to her room. I turned the stove to low heat and took the mittens off my hands. I ran up to her room and leaned my ear at her door. I heard faint sobs and crying. I knocked a few times and entered when she didn't respond.
"You okay?" I asked. She was lying in her bed face down. I walked closer and looked at her. She was in a mess. I sat on the edge of her bed and placed a hand on her back. I pat her reassuringly a few times. She still didn't respond and her crying got a little louder. I decided to leave her at peace and probably return later. When I removed my hands from her back and was about to stand up, she suddenly sat up and hugged me. Her face was in my chest as she cried. I wrapped my hands around her and reassured her that it was going to be okay…
"Touya…you won't leave me right?" Sakura suddenly asked between her sobs. I told her I won't.
