I don't own any of the CLAMP characters

It was a bright sunny day at CLAMP school. The sun was high and it was peacefully quiet. Or it was until a yell cut through the quiet, "KAICHOU!" Suoh yelled as he chased after said boy.

Nokoru laughed as he tried to escape his blue-haired friend. After a few moments Nokoru ran out of breath and sat down on one of the benches. A few seconds later Suoh came up and stood in front of him with Akira at his side.

"You still have paperwork to finish Kaichou!" Suoh said angrily.

"But Suoh, it's such a lovely day. How can I possibly do paperwork on a day like this?" Nokoru replied.

Suoh had, had just about enough. He stepped forward and grabbed onto one of Nokoru's arms, proceeded to drag him back to the office. Akira was smiling the whole time, amused at the behavior of his sempai.

Once they were back in the office Suoh stood over Nokoru watching him do his work and giving him more when he ran out. After about an hour work the phone rang and Nokoru jumped to answer it. "Hello?" He asked.

He listened for a moment before saying, "One moment." He took the phone away from his ear and said, "Akira, it's your mothers."

Akira stood up looking confused but took the phone and answered, "Hello?... Why? Is something wrong?... Then-… Ok. I'll be right there." He sighed and handed the phone back to Nokoru saying, "My mother's want me home to talk to me about something." Nokoru nodded his head in understanding and Akira got his things and left.

Nokoru was about to make an excuse to Suoh but decided against it when he saw the other boys face. Instead he sighed and got back to work.

~With Akira~

Akira walked up to his house and opened the door saying, "I'm home."

His mothers came and told him to put his things away before they told him the news.

Once they were all settled, one of his mothers looked at him seriously and said, "I hate to say this Akira, but your grandmother is very sick."

"Will she be alright?" Akira asked worriedly.

"We don't know, that's why we are moving to America, so we can take care of her. We thought of having her stay here but she isn't in any condition to fly all the way over here."

Akira was silent for a moment before he asked, "Were moving to America?" both his mothers nodded silently. "But what about school? What about my friends?"

"Were sorry Akira, but we can't leave you here alone. We have to go and take care of your grandmother. We know it will be hard on you, it will be on all of us, but we have to take care of her. There's no one else who can. Do you understand?"

Akira nodded his head and asked, "When are we leaving?"

"In a week. That will give you time to say goodbye to everyone."

Akira sighed but knew there was nothing he could do, so he went and started preparing for dinner.

~The Next Day~

"Good morning Kaichou, Takamura-sempai!" Akira said happily, with a big smile. He wanted to make sure he had a great last week at school, before the move.

"Good morning Akira/Ijyuin." They replied.

When Akira got to his desk Nokoru spoke up, "Akira?"

"Yes Kaichou?" He answered.

"What was it your mother's wanted to talk to you about yesterday?"

Akira's smile faltered a little before he said, "They told me that my grandmother is very sick and we have to help take care of her."

Akira was no longer smiling, but looked a little sad. "That's horrible." Nokoru said.

"Yeah, but that was only part of it."

"What's the other part?"

"We're going to go live with her because she can't come to our house."

"Where does she live?"

"… In America."

There was silence in the room for a few minutes as Suoh and Nokoru took in what he had just said. Suoh decided to break it and asked, "When are you leaving?"

"In a week." Akira answered, "We don't know how long we will be staying there either. All I know is it will be at least half-a-year."

"I'm sorry Akira." Nokoru said. He got up and hugged the younger boy, Suoh was behind him and put a hand on Akira's shoulder.

Akira smiled, pleased he had such wonderful friends. After a moment, they each went to their desks, and left each other to their own thoughts. It was quiet in the council room until Akira got up and left to make some tea and snacks.

When Akira was gone Nokoru turned to Suoh and asked, "What are we going to do when he's gone?"

"What do you mean?" Suoh asked.

"He's one of us. It's going to feel so weird when he's not here. I don't think anyone can ever take his place now."

"Your right, it will be strange, but Akira wouldn't want us to sad about this. Let's just make sure he has a fun time this week."

"Your right Suoh." Nokoru said. There was a moment of silence before Nokoru spoke up again saying, "I'm really going to miss him, and all his delicious food."

"Yeah, I will to." Suoh said.

"I don't think I can survive without his cooking. It will also be hard to find a new treasurer because he was such a good one, probably the best."

"I know. I don't think there's anyone else who can help me keep you on task and not fall behind on their paperwork." Nokoru sweat dropped when he heard that.

"I know!" Nokoru suddenly said, "Let's throw him a going away party!"

"Only if you finish all your paperwork on time." Suoh said, but Nokoru knew he wanted to give Akira one as well.
