A New Beginning

Author: -abbychansookawaii-

Summary: A kinda short story that shows how Sakura reacts when she finds out that Yukito, the man she has always admired and loved, actually loves someone else.

A/N: Dear Guys, I can't seem to think of how I'll continue my other story (Being What I Don't Want To Be) so I came up with a new story for the time being. Just to compensate the months I couldn't update my story. I'm sorry guys! :( Hope this will make up for it! Oh and, Sakura dear will be narrating this story. It's her story after all. :)

Chapter 1: It all started with a cheesecake

It was a normal Sunday afternoon when I went out to buy a cake for onii-chan. It was his birthday after all. I was still twelve then and I have grown – at least I think I have – more maturely. And I haven't seemed to have met anyone special, except for Tomoyo-chan. I smiled as I was thinking how onii-chan would love the cheesecake. Though it really was such a shame I couldn't and didn't know how cook it for him…

As I went in the bakery shop, I heard one of the sales person say 'Welcome!' with a cheery smile. It made me feel comfortable. After all, I didn't like shopping alone. I sighed as I remembered how Tomoyo-chan kept apologizing that she couldn't be with me because of choir practice.

I looked for any delicious looking cheesecake in sight. Seriously, they were all looking delicious to me! But then I had to make up my mind quickly. The sales person sure was staring hard at me. Made it even more harder for me to choose. Oh I hate it when they do that. Suddenly, I heard a gentle and soft voice.

"Do you have trouble picking?" The guy looked about seventeen and he had silky white hair. His glasses seemed to have made his eyes a bit smaller but they were so kind looking and astonishing. He smiled as he looked at me.

My eyes widened. 'Dear okaa-san, why is my heart pounding fast? My cheeks feel hot, and I feel unusually nervous all of a sudden.' My mind was captivated by his smile, and especially his eyes. 'Okaa-san, my chest feels tight…' He looked like a worker in the bakery too, obviously because of his uniform.

I quickly snapped back to my senses, still aware a female worker was looking at me, or then again, she could be glaring at me. I'm thinking she likes him too. Wait, too? Do I like him? I blushed and touched my cheeks.

"You look red, are you alright, miss?" He looked like he was full of concern, just for me. Now what kind of worker would do that?

"Ah! Hai! Thanks for the concern…" I was still confused. What is this feeling?

"Ahaha. That's good! Well then, do you want me to help you pick a cake?" He smiled again. Do moods of people change that easily? Mine doesn't, I think.

"Really? You can? Then please do!" I found myself smiling and I could also at the same time, feel myself hot by the cheeks.

"Then…" He looked on the glass displaying some of the cakes and finally added, "Gomene! Ahahaha! They all look delicious to me!" He laughed as he said that.

I sweat dropped as I laughed uneasily. Not sure if I should actually laugh.

"Well, this looks delicious, doesn't it?" He was actually pointing to all of the cakes.

I sweat dropped again.

I looked at his name tag and it showed the name Tsukishiro Yukito. I blushed. How can a person have a cute name like this?

He smiled and finally concluded, "Well then, here, this is the cake for you."

I looked at the cheesecake and it was actually really delicious looking. I beamed with happiness and replied, "Thank you so much! You know, this is actually a gift for my brother."

He looked thrilled when he heard that. "Really? That's great! I hope he'll find that cake delicious. But yeah, it actually is. Haha."

"Yup! His favorite cake is cheesecake so there's nothing really to worry about."

"Which reminds me of a person who likes cheesecake as well. His birthday is today too, and I haven't bought a gift for him yet."

"Oh that's so cool! Just buy him the same cake!" The conversation was going great for me. I really enjoyed every second of it and my heart my thumping harder and harder.

"Ahahaha! Well, okay then." He smiled that smile that captivated me again.

I blushed and looked away. Then I took notice of the time. My eyes widened.

"OH NO! I have to get home before my brother does! Thanks so much sir!" I quickly paid the money, grabbed the cheesecake in the box and waved goodbye to Tsukishiro-san. I really felt bad I had to go.

"Take care! Thank you for your purchase! Hope you come by again sometime." He recited the words a worker in a bakery would say to a customer which kind of disappointed me a bit.

I turned back and took the traditional bow and looked at him again, "I really had fun talking with you! Bye!"

I wish he smiled when I said that. I quickly ran back to the house. My skates grew old so I really couldn't use it anymore. I prepared the feast for onii-chan. Otou-san was in a business trip so I had to prepare them all by myself. I sighed. I could be lazy at times. But this is all for onii-chan!

Onii-chan (Touya Kinomoto) came back home fifteen minutes later. At least I managed to be ready by then.

"Onii-chaaaaan! Happy birthday!" I hugged him tightly as he smiled slightly.

"Thanks, Kaijuu." He returned the hug.

A nerve popped out on my head as I forced myself to smile. I couldn't hit him on his birthday, it was part of my 'being a lovable younger sister' plan. I never grew used to it.

"Ahh, I wonder what Kaijuu prepared on my birthday. Must be a BIG feast edible for only kaijuus like miss kaijuu-san here." And he also never grew tired of teasing me. Sigh…

I'm guessing he's taking the time to tease me when he knows I can't hit him back. What a cruel brother.

"Sakura, a friend of mine will pass by here later. He's a really close friend, so treat him well, okay?" Onii-chan sounded serious this time.

"Okay. What time will he be coming?" I asked.

"Before we eat." He gave a short answer as he changed his converse to the usual house shoes we use.

"Uh, that's not a specific answer you know." WHAT time not WHEN. Silly onii-chan.

Ding Dong

"I'll get it." I walked towards the door and opened it. Suddenly everything was slow motion. The breeze went through my hair gently and the dark figure suddenly became more apparent. The eyes that I saw earlier locked my eyes to theirs… once again. I could hear my heart thumping in my ears.

"Ah! It's you!" He sounded surprised but… his smile… Oh his smile… I felt like melting… Okaa-san…

Onii-chan glanced at the person, the one that made my spirit melt. "Ah, Yo Yuki."

"Touya! You never told me you had a little sister! WHYYY?" He rushed to him and grasped his shoulders.

"You never asked, baka."

He looked at me again, 'ahh, heaven…' I thought as we locked eyes again. "She looks so cute! If you had told me before, I would have treated her like my own!"

"Yeah, and make her fat." Touya walked towards the dining table where the feast was held. Tsukishiro-san followed him.

"But but! You know how I always wanted to have a little sister! Touyaaa!" He was shaking onii-chan violently this time, rivers of tears flowing down his cheeks.

I sweat dropped thinking of how I would be if I was actually his little sister. How dangerous. I shuddered.

"Yuki," Onii-chan said as he took a large ball of takoyaki.

"What what?" Tsukishiro-san still crying rivers of tears.

Onii-chan placed the takoyaki ball into his mouth and suddenly he was shockingly crying tears of joy this time. This person… is WEIRD.

"Ahhhh~ The luscious taste of the sauce and the mouth-watering taste of the octopus' fleshy meat! Ahhh~" His eyes was twinkling. He somehow reminds me of Tomoyo-chan when she wants to dress me up. I shuddered again.

And so we fast forward into the eating of the feast.

"My name is Tsukishiro Yukito! You can call me Yukito!" He smiled brightly, making me blush all over again.

"Mine's Sakura… Kinomoto Sakura. Please do call me Sakura." I replied all the while being shy.

Yukito-san nodded and looked at all the food. "Waaah~ Sakura-chan you prepared all this?"

"Ah. H-hai!" I replied nervously.

He giggled and smiled, "That's so great! Touya you're so lucky to have a younger sister! She even knows how to cook! Sakura-chan, I'd like to kidnap you for a day or two!"

Here's the rope and tape! Kidnap me now!

Touya grinned, "Taking a Kaijuu like her? She'll destroy the whole house and turn it upside down!"

A bigger nerve popped out on my head! Just you wait, onii-chan!

Yukito laughed, "Nah, that's impossible! She's way too cute to be a kaijuu. Stop teasing her, Touya!"

Ahh~ Yukito-san… *blush blush*

"Ah! I totally forgot. Touya, here's your birthday gift." He brought out the EXACT cake I bought. I can't believe he actually bought the same cake! But then again, I'm the one who told him to. I became a stone.

Touya looked at it, then at mine. "Yuki, you bought the same cake that Sakura bought."

Yuki became a stone as well. The wind blew in anime style. "Ah. I forgot."

Night Time

"Yuki, you're going to sleep over, right?" Onii-chan asked Yukito-san. OH KAMI-SAMA! PLEASE LET HIM STAY!

"Yeah, this is a special occasion after all." HALLELUIAH! HALLELUIAAAAH~!

After we all fixed the table, both of them went up the stairs into onii-chan's room. Sigh. Now I won't be able to see his face. Rivers of tears flowed down my cheeks in anime style. Well, I could bring snacks for them just so I could see Y-u-k-i-t-o – s-a-n! But I really am confused. Why do I always want to see him? I pouted.

I prepared the tea and snacks and went up their room. Onii-chan opened the door for me and I beamed brightly with a smile when I saw Yukito-san smile at me.

"Ahaha! Arigato Sakura-chan! Though you really didn't have to. We just ate dinner." He smiled.

Ah… right! WAAH! I'm such a dummy!

"Gomene Yukito-san." UHUHUHUHU! SUCH A DUMMY!

"Well I don't mind. My stomach is really big!" His eyes sparkled.

I sweat dropped again. He really loves food huh. At least I know something about him now. To be honest, I seriously wanted to sleep with Yukito-san on the same bed. Is that what I'm hoping for? Why?

Onii-chan took a seat and suddenly, the sound of a HUGE thunder lightning passed through the whole house! I jumped in alarm and screamed as I covered my head under the blankets of onii-chan's bed.

Yukito-san came close to me and patted my head, "There there now, don't be scared." He smiled reassuringly.

Ah-haaah~ Yukito-san...

I got my head out of the blanket and gazed at him with a few tears in my eyes. He patted my head once again and wiped the tears away from my eyes. I blushed.

Touya stared at the window as rain poured in hard. Lightning and thunders could be heard outside. I shuddered. Suddenly, I felt a drop of water land on my hand. I looked up the ceiling and drops of water poured in faster.

"Onii-chan! The ceiling's leaking!" We all worked fast to take a bucket and avoid the pouring of water on the bed, but the bed was already wet. We all sighed.

"Well then I guess we have to sleep together on the floor Touya." Yukito-san concluded.

Seriously? SLEEP TOGETHER? It really sounds weird when you put it that way Yukito-san.

Onii-chan nodded.

And then I realized… "MY BED!"

I ran to my room but it was too late. My bed was also soaked through. The only difference was that the water poured in on the floor too…

It was too late to even clean the room. I looked with puppy eyes to my brother.

Onii-chan was clever so he said, "You can sleep in dad's-" His eyes widened.

He ran to dad's room and to my luck, it was drenched too! OHOHOHO! Wow, Tomoyo-chan's really influencing me.

Onii-chan sighed and finally said the words I have always longed to hear. "Fine, you can sleep in our room."

YATTA! I leaped into the air!

The space between the bed and the door of onii-chan's room was large enough to place one huge futon good enough for three people. So I was in the middle, Yukito-san to my right and Onii-chan to my left.

The lights were off. But the thunder and lightning grew more apparent in the room. I flinched as I heard a big one. I was too shy to wake them up with my scream. But then I felt Yukito-san pat my head reassuringly again.

I felt like crying because I was so touched he knew. He smiled again reassuringly and it seriously made my heart tug.

And then… he did something… something I would never have expected in my whole life! HE KISSED MY FOREHEAD GOODNIGHT! HE KISSED ME HE KISSED ME HE KISSED ME! My head's circulating! My heart's thumping! My whole body trembling! My heart fluttered with a million butterflies and colours! UWAAAA!

"Goodnight, Sakura-chan." He smiled… Don't smile… You'll… CAPTURE MY HEART ALL OVER AGAIN!

When he closed his eyes, I suddenly realized… I realized… I was in love with him. I was in love with him. Everything seemed to be silent. Everything looked like it was colourful… everything… because of him.

'Okaa-san, please don't curse this person for stealing my heart…'

"Tch, pedophile." Onii-chan muttered under his breath, though I don't think Yukito-san heard…
