Another chapter up~!

I know, a whole month before another update. But don't worry, I'm splitting this chapter into two parts because i just hate making people wait for any chapter for any of my stories. I just love you people too much to leave you hanging like that.

But don't worry. It wouldn't be another month for the next update. I'm trying as fast as I can. The idea's there, it's the writing that takes time. ^_^

Warning: Not much except language

Disclaimer:don't own them; never will.

Enjoy~! ^_^

On the road again part one

Yuui sighed for the hundredth time in the past five minutes. He felt his eyelids fluttering shut every few seconds before he snapped his eyes wide open. If one were to view this kind of behavior, they would say that he's lacking sleep….and they wouldn't be far from the truth. He glanced at his watch and groaned. Only twenty minutes to go. That would have sounded utterly ridiculous to most people as they have waited that long before from time to time.

But most people don't wait outside their home at three in the morning.

When he got off the phone with Syaoran, his heart was filled with anticipation. It would be the first summer he'll be with his (younger yet mature) boyfriend. Of course their friends will be there also but that's beside the point.

When he called Fai about it via cell-phone, he had to hold out the phone far away from him as the loud and joyful cheering was heard on the other line. Then Kurogane took the cell-phone from his brother and told him 'that's great' in a more reasonable volume. He knew that the new-weds were worried about him; what with the cooking teacher almost having to spend the summer alone. He reassured them that he was fine and that if anything would wrong; Syaoron would be there for him.

That earned him a cat-call and an angry sigh in response to the cat-call.

After the phone call, Yuui quickly went to his room and gather his belongings. He was told that the trip was starting the next morning and that someone would pick him up as this was a group vacation. However even with that fact in mind; it didn't cease the rapid beating of his heart.

Glancing at his watch, he sighed. Another ten minutes to go. He checked his cell-phone and search through his pictures to pass the time. He had taken some photos of the wedding and the party since he forgot to bring his own camera. He smiled at every single one; the wedding kiss, the food, the teen gang posing, the first dance of the newly-weds (with Kurogane in a Kimono, no less) and himself being covered in cake (that was taken by Kurogane who for some reason had it in his possession. The reason behind it was still unknown). However, while skimming his photo history, one particular picture stopped him in his tracks.

It was a picture of him and Syaoron dancing.

At first he was really confused and thought it was his mind playing tricks on him. But when he went back and forth between photos, it wasn't a trick. It really was a picture of the two of them dancing. As much as he was kind of glad that he had the picture, he couldn't help but think of the culprit who not only had his phone but took that picture at that time. It could have been Fai (the obvious culprit for anything) or maybe it was Sakura. Syaoran was less likely as Watanuki was. But he wouldn't put it pass him if Himawari or Doumeki was the culprit. It maybe it was the Mokonas; they were Yuuko's evil minions after all.

Yuui rubbed his forehead. This was giving him a migraine. Nonetheless, the picture was there and he was grateful for it. He looked closely at the photo. However took it, had taken it when he and Syaoron were close…and blushing no less. A good angle and the lighting were perfect. Which was odd because it came from a cell phone of all things.

Still….it was a good picture of them. And a picture is worth a thousand words, right?

*HONK* *HONK*

Yuui snapped his head up and that there was an SUV parked right in front of his house. He raised an eyebrow; confused on who would be driving. He then got his answer when the window was rolled down. His eyes widened. "D-Doumeki? Is that really you?"

The person at the wheel nodded. "Hey Yuui-sensei."

Suddenly the door behind the stoic teen slammed open, revealing another teen and friend that the cooking teacher knew oh-so well. "Damn it Doumeki! I told you to call Yuui-sensei that we were on our way! Did you want to give him a heart-attack at three in the morning?"

The cooking teacher chuckled as he stood up. "Good morning, Watanuki."He smirked. "You look very lively considering it's so early."

The blue-eyed teen stopped his rant before smiling shyly at the blonde. "Oh um….well, I….yeah." He slightly blushed. "It's nice to see you again, Yuui-sensei."

"Likewise." Yuui smiled.

Watanuki got out of the car and made his way to the teacher. "Are you ready? Because Syaoran told us to pick you up first before we get to the others. We were going to ask you if we can call Kurogane-sensei to use his car but this idiot over here." He gestured to the waving stoic teen at the wheel. "Took this car from his parents even though I told him that's illegal for people under eighteen to drive!"

Doumeki shrugged. "They said it was okay."

"That's beside the point!" Watanuki yelled out. "Do you realize how much trouble we're going to be if the police see you? You can get arrested and I'll be the one bailing your lazy butt out!"

"I don't think they'll notice." Yuui spoke up. "Besides, Doumeki's parents wouldn't let him take the car unless something else came up." He looked at Doumeki. "Am I right?"

The stoic teen nodded. "They said that as soon as we picked up everyone, I have to let you take over the driving."

Patting Watanuki's shoulder, Yuui smiled. "See? No harm done." He then picked up his stuff and walking pass the shocked teen. "So who's coming?" He shrugged. "Besides Syaoran and Syaoron, I mean."

"…Sakura's coming." Doumeki said. "Plus me, the moron—"

"I'M NOT A MORON—"

"You, Tomoyo and a couple of new people that Tomoyo invited." Doumeki finished in a calm tone.

"New people huh?" Yuui mused as he got his stuff in the car. "Do you know what their names are?"

Doumeki shook his head as both the teacher and Watanuki (who snapped out of his stupor and ran) got into the car. "Tomoyo didn't say anything else about them."

Snapping in the seatbelt, Watanuki glanced at his stoic boyfriend with curiosity. "It was odd that Tomoyo's coming though. She couldn't go with us to the cruise but she's coming with us this summer." He looked forward. "And I wonder who she's going to bring."

Doumeki nodded.

"Hopefully it's not someone we'll all be better without…like Seishiro." Yuui grimaced. "Or Ioryogi, Ginsei or anyone else that any one of us has encountered with."

The teens both nodded. Having someone like Seishiro or anyone like him would spell disaster.

With Yuui in the backseat and Watanuki in the passenger's seat, Doumeki started up the car and drove down the street, away from Yuui's home.

As Doumeki drove, Yuui's mind started to wonder. This summer would surely be different. To a different place with new people. It would be quite exciting in his own opinion; mostly because he can't wait to see Syaoron again. The very thought of that young man made his heart race a bit. Then a thought came to him. "Hey guys…isn't Himawari coming too?"

…

Watanuki hit his head against the dashboard as a wail escaped his lips.

Doumeki glanced over at his boyfriend for a few seconds before patting him on the back.

Yuui blinked. Guess that answered his question.

"Hey Sakura!" Watanuki waved.

The timid girl waved back before her stuff has ungracefully dropped into her arms. She glared at her older brother who (maturely) glared back. She stuck out her tongue before making her way for the car. She jumped as she heard the front door slam. She glanced sadly.

Yuui opened the car door with a smile. "Well good morning, Sakura."

The girl nodded. "Good morning Yuui-sensei, Watanuki, Doumeki." She nodded to the two teens.

Doumeki nodded back. "'Sup?"

The cooking teacher moved over as Sakura sat down next to him. He glanced at the student with a mix of concern and curiosity. "Is there something wrong?" He gave out a half-smile. "I know that I only met your older brother a couple of time but this is the first that I've seen him that angry."

Sakura sighed as she clenched her bag. "Nii-san's not that happy with me going somewhere with Syaoran." She looked out the window. "When he invited to go, I was so excited. I asked my grandma if I can go and she said yes, as long as there was an adult there. When I got another phone call saying that you'll be with us, I was so happy." She then frowned. "But when I told nii-san about it…he wasn't very approving of it; mostly because Syaoran's coming with us. And we ended up arguing."

Yuui nodded. "I see. So Touya's still angry because you're going with Syaoran on this trip." He leaned back in his seat. "I can understand that. As the older sibling, he still wants to protect you even though he won't admit it out loud. But you're capable of making your own decisions and he knew that but doesn't like it one bit."

The girl nodded as the car started to move. "I know Nii-san cares for me but sometimes I wish he can see Syaoran the way everyone else see him. He's not that bad and he would never hurt anyone. He's polite, kind, sweet and a brave person." A slight blush colored her cheeks. "I admire and respect him for that."

Smiling, Yuui gently patted the girl's head. "I wouldn't worry about your brother." He leaned on the door. "I bet anything he'll cool off and think about it for a while. And as for you," He tapped the girl's nose. "You shouldn't let that little tiff drag you down. You're on vacation and should make the best of it."

Letting the words sink in, Sakura smiled back. "I should. Thank you Yuui-sensei."

"Please Sakura, for the sake of the summer vacation, call me Yuui." The cooking teacher smiled. "That goes for the rest of you, okay?"

"Got it." Watanuki smiled.

"Hm." Doumeki agreed.

Yawning, Sakura felt her eyelids dropping.

"Go to sleep." Yuui said. "I'll wake you up when we're at the brothers' house." He chuckled a bit when the girl's head dropped onto his shoulder. He pulled out a blanket and draped it over her. "Sleep well." He then looked up to see two faces looking at him. "What?"

Watanuki shook his head. "Nothing."

Doumeki's lips twitched upwards before going back to indifference.

Yuui-sensei will always be Yuui-sensei.

Syaoron tapped his foot as he leaned back on the bedroom door. He watched with amusement as his younger brother was in a panic; trying to find his swim trunks. The room became a complete mess as a result and the older teen's smile couldn't have been wider at that fact. "Lil' bro, we're going to be late. Why don't you ask me to buy a pair of trunks on our way there?"His suggestion went unnoticed as a t-shirt landed on his face.

"But Nii-san! I know that it's here somewhere!" Syaoran protested. "I just need to find it."

"You've been trying to find it for over twenty minutes." Syaoron pointed out as his younger brother let out a groan. "It's not a big deal. Don't worry about it. Besides, it's not the end of the world if you can't one piece of clothing."

Sighing, Syaoran sat on the floor; feeling very exhausted. "I know. But I like that pair. It was the one our mother gave to us the last time we came to visit her." He shook his head. "It made be a pair of swim trunks but it was a gift and it should be treasured that way."

"Oh, those trunks." Syaoron nodded. He remembered that last time the two of them visited their mother back in Hong Kong. Syaoran had forgotten to bring his swimming trunks at the time so his mom went out of her way and got him a new pair. It was deep green swimming trunks with a white shadow of a wolf on it. His younger brother was very ecstatic when their mother gave it to him.

Normally, one would say 'why would anyone treasure a pair of trunks given by their mom? It's just a piece of clothing.'

If it was anyone else, Syaoron would agree. However this was about his family and his brother. And that pair was actually sewn by hand; made solely by their mother. And since he never got the time to spend with her (unlike himself), anything given by her was treasured greatly and with gratitude.

Something that the older twin had never experienced since he got to spend time with her.

Sighing, Syaoron got over to his twin and sat next to him. He placed a hand on top of Syaoran's head. "I'm sure mom would be happy to see that you value those trunks. It's a bit weird in my opinion but hey, you wouldn't be you if you didn't value them."

Looking at his twin, Syaoran chuckled as he and Syaoron shared a hug. "Yeah….and I'm sorry that you didn't get to spend time with dad. I know how much you wanted to talk to him every time we visited."

"Hey, it's no big deal." Syaoron reassured. "I got to see him and that's good enough for me. So don't feel guilty about that. It's not your fault. I guess that's what makes us different from other twins. There's nothing that I regret over in this lifetime; not about you at least." His eyes trailed to the right and he blinked. He smiled.

Bingo

Reaching over (and making Syaoran leaned over with him), Syaoron pulled a piece of clothing out of a pile of clothes with a smirk. "Well, well; what do we have here?" He waved it in front of his brother's face.

Syaoran's eyes widened before he grabbed it with a wide smile. "The trunks! You found them!" He hugged them as he let out a relieved chuckle. "Awesome." He smiled gratefully at his older twin. "Thanks nii-san. You're a life saver."

Shrugging with a smile Syaoron waved it off. "Don't thank me. I just happened to find it by coincidence." He then stood up. "Now that's done. How about we clean this room and finish packing?" He gave a nervous smile. "I could hear the phone ringing down the hallway and I have a guess on who's calling."

Chuckling, Syaoran nodded. "Right."

"Damn it. What the hell is taking them so long?"

The group finally made it to the Li brothers' house. However, something was holding them up as soon as they got there. Watanuki started calling them; wanting to ask if they are ready but neither of them picked up the phone. During that time, Yuui gently nudged his shoulder; trying to wake up the girl.

"Sakura…Sakura…" Yuui whispered in a soft tone. "Sweetie, it's time to wake up." He smiled. "We're at Syaoran's house."

A soft moan escaped her lips as Sakura's eyes started to open. She looked around to see where she was. Then she remembered. She's going on a trip with some of her friends. She looked up and found Yuui smiling back down at her. She then blushed as her recent memories caught up with her. She stood up and looked away. "I'm so sorry Yuui-sen—uh Yuui." She said. "I didn't realize I was sleeping on your shoulder. Was it a problem?"

Yuui shook his head. "No, it was no problem at all." He then stretched a bit. "It's better to get some rest before we head off then sleep through the whole thing, right?"

Giggling, the girl nodded.

"Come on." Watanuki grumbled as he snapped his phone shut. He sighed. "Neither one of the twins has answered yet. You did tell them we'll be here right?"

Doumeki silently nodded.

Leaning back in his seat, Watanuki rubbed his eyes. "It's about to be dawn soon and they're not ready? And to think, Syaoron was the one who came up it this idea in the first place."

"Hm."

Then Yuui thought of something. "Hey, Doumeki." He started. "How about we switched seats now? After all your parents said that once everyone got in this car, I would be the one to drive."

The stoic looked through the head mirror and nodded.

So then everyone got out of the car. Watanuki, Sakura and Doumeki were outside while Yuui got into the driver's seat and strapped himself in. He looked at the wheel with a frown. "Ugh, I can never get used to driving big cars."

The teen trio were watching with amusement as they watched Yuui displaying different emotions on the car in question.

"Um….does anyone know what kind of cars Yuui likes to drive?" Sakura asked.

Watanuki shrugged. "Don't know. But at least we know he hates SUV cars." He chuckled.

Doumeki nodded. "Maybe he likes sport cars." He then rubbed the back of his head. "He told me once that he wanted to get a Mustang GT or something."

Gaping at him, Watanuki scoffed. "That car. No way! I think he's more of a Prius then a freaking Mustang!"

Sakura covered her mouth as she held back a laugh.

"A Prius?"

"Yes a freaking Prius! At least it's safe! The GT is way too dangerous and I'm sure Yuui wants to live past his thirties!"

"But isn't Yuui—"

"That's beside the point Sakura and you!" Watanuki pointed at the stoic teen. "Why the hell would he want that kind of car?"

Doumeki shrugged. "Because he wants to be cool."

"Cool?" Watanuki shouted. "Well then how about you get that car if it's so freaking cool, huh? That'll up your popularity a bit huh?"

"Yeah! Let's all get a car! Maybe we can drag race at night when we're bored!"

The trio fell silent as a new voice was heard. They all turned around and saw….

"I'm just saying that it'd be cool have one, you know?"

Sakura was the first to break out of the shock as she squealed and ran up to the person and proceeded to hug the living daylights out of that person. "Syaoran! Oh my gosh! How are you?"

Syaoran blushed but awkwardly hugged back. "I'm fine thanks. Glad to see you too." He looked at the pair. "Good morning Watanuki, Doumeki."

"Good morning."

"Hey."

The girl let go of the boy and smiled. "I'm so happy right now. We're all going on a trip together!" She then looked behind him and frowned. "Um…Syaoran?"

"Yes?" The boy said.

"….Where's Syaoron? He's ready too, right?"

Watanuki and Doumeki looked behind Syaoran and blinked.

"Yeah, where is Syaoron?" Watanuki asked. "Is he still packing?"

Syaoran chuckled as he put a finger on his lips. "Sorry but my nii-san would get mad at me if I tell you guys before it happens."

The three were slightly confused.

"Before what happens?"

Yuui smiled as he saw Syaoran meeting up with the rest of the gang. He put the hand on the steering wheel and sighed. In just a few minutes the gang will go on a trip to a place that they have never been before. He was told though that Tomoyo will meet them up later with the new people he was informed of earlier. But he couldn't help but wonder who.

Who would want to join a group that they never meet before?

A knock was heard on his side of the car. Confused, Yuui looked at who would be on the road. Only to have a pair of soft lips descend upon his. Blue eyes widened at the face before.

Brown hair

Brown eyes

Soft lips

S-Syaoron?

As fast as it came, those lips retracted from Yuui's; leaving the blonde in a slight daze. He looked at the person before him as he blushed. "Syaoron…." He breathed out. "Don't ever do that again. You nearly scared me."

Syaoron smiled before chuckling. "Just wanted to catch you off-guard. You never know what will happen on this trip."

Yuui sighed as he smiled. "Just get in the car."

"Roger." Syaoron mockingly saluted as he ran to the other side of the car and got into the passenger seat. He then threw his stuff to the back of the car and strapped himself in. "But I'm not sorry about it."

"Sure you not."

"Okay then." Yuui said out-loud. "Is everyone strapped in?"

Inside the car, the cooking teacher was the driver while Syaoron was in the passenger's seat. Behind them were Watanuki and Doumeki who each sitting on the window side. Behind them were Syaoran and Sakura who had everyone's stuff behind their seats.

"Ready!"

"Ready."

"We're good."

"Hm."

"Yup."

Shifting the gear from parked to drive, Yuui nodded. "Okay then. Let's go."

And the car drove off from the main road to the highway as the sun started touching over the horizon.

The first morning of their trip.
