Chapter 3: Sakura's taste.
Toya, Yukito and the two Sakura's sat out in an outdoor café balcony. The scenery around them was a shopping center with lots of people chatting, laughing, eating, texting and just all living out their daily lives. Toya tried to daze off into the crowd of people he saw. Maybe he was just dreaming and the TWO Sakura's in front of him chatting about their parfaits was all just some really wacked out dream. He shifted his eyes in their direction. There they were smiling and chatting with one another like it was a normal thing. Toya sighed and unfolded his arms from his chest. This so called older Sakura had to be an imposter! The fact, that he no longer had magical powers to really tell for sure, frustrated him greatly. He looked over to Yukito. Yukito had not said one word since her (The imposter Toya decided to call her) arrival. Yukito just sat there looking at both of the Sakura's quietly as he sipped his tea. He hadn't even touched his apple pie, cheese Danish, fruit salad or his burger with fries! Yukito would have usually already have eaten all of this and ordered seconds by now but he wasn't even touching his food! Something must be really off here if Yukito was too disturbed to even eat! He took another glance over at Sakura and the imposter.
"Hey, you should taste my peach parfait!" The imposter suggested. Sakura blushed but anxiously took a bite out of the peach parfait her future self held out for her. Her eyes widened with surprise. The peach parfait was much better than her strawberry parfait.
"That's really delicious!"Sakura exclaimed happily.
"I told you, you would like it." The imposter said. "I am you after all." She added.
Toya saw how taken Sakura was by her future- no… by this imposter. Sakura was naturally dense after all. Toya decided it was time for his interrogation.
"So, now that we're here at the café I suppose you're going to tell us about this great threat that's looming on the horizon." Toya's eyes were analytical as he waited for her response. The imposter stared back at Toya's eyes with such coolness that Toya was now completely convince this girl was NOT Sakura. Sakura was a kind and gentle girl she wouldn't even begin to understand what this coolness in this girls eyes meant. Even without his magic Toya could feel the energy in the atmosphere chill slightly. His arms produce goose bumps all over. Sakura and Yukito's expressions changed from relaxed to high alert.
(She must be pretty powerful.) Toya thought to himself as he remembered an old saying. (Let sleeping Gods sleep)Even, with the intimidation tactic, he was not about to let this topic go.
"Spill, you're guts KAIJUU" He figured he would amuse this imposter by calling her what he would normally call Sakura. The atmosphere around them cleared and became normal almost instantly after he said that. The Imposter smiled big and put her left hand behind her head as she slightly blushed in embarrassment.
"Well… you see… um… I was actually just kidding." Sakura and Toya fell out of their chairs. Yukito just sat there with a small smile on his face. It seemed like he was relaxed enough now to start eating as he finally picked up his burger. Toya sighed in relief that things seemed to be less intense; but now Toya wasn't sure if she really was an imposter or if she was indeed a future Sakura.
"Wait, but if you're not here because of something important, then what are you doing here?" Yukito had finally spoken and his question was definitely on everyone's mind. The future Sakura (not sure if she's an imposter anymore) avoided eye contact with Yukito as she answered.
"I ran away from home to a place no one could find me."She added a "Hmph!" at the end of her sentence as if to give Yukito sass, Which was unusual for Sakura. A question mark bubble could almost be visible atop of the three non future traveling people at the table.
"Why, did you run away!?" Sakura stood up from her chair her voice seemed distressed as she asked her question to her future self.
"It wasn't because of anything too serious." She reassured her younger self. "However." She added. "You, can definitely blame a silvered haired cat-eyed angel for it." Future Sakura began to mumble things under her breath. Something, about fairies and star signs, that didn't really make sense to anyone at the table. Yukito raised his hand to the waiter to order seconds.
Toya scratched his head in confusion. Why would Sakura ever give sass to Yukito and why would she run away because of something Yue did? As far as Toya knew the current Sakura adored Yukito and he believed her feelings towards Yue were the same. So what could have possibly happened in the future to have changed that? Toya's deep thoughts were halted by an unusual movement in front of him. At first he couldn't make sense of what he was seeing before, him but the picture quickly came into focus. Future Sakura was kissing present Sakura. ON THE LIPS!
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?" Toya's face and ears were completely red. Yukito started coughing because he choked on his food. Toya checked to see if Yukito was alright. Yukito was chugging down a glass of water when he glanced over. Toya turned back just in time to see the thread of saliva separate from their bottom lips as they pulled away.
DEAR GOD THERE WAS TONGUE! Toya's realization of this tarnished his perception of his little sister. Present Sakura's face was rosy cheeked and dewy eyed.
"O-Onii-chan…" Her voice was faint. She laid her head on the table and went to sleep instantly. The shock of the kiss was too much for her so her body decided to shut down.
"DON'T JUST GO TO SLEEP!"Toya shouted at the already in deep sleep Sakura. "And, YOU!" Toya averted his attention to the future Sakura. "What were you thinking!?"
"Well, chibi Sakura wanted another taste of my parfait but I had ate it already. She looked pretty disappointed so, I decided to let her have a taste from my mouth." She smiled innocently at Toya and tilted her head cutely to one side.
=========================On the way home====================
Toya carried the sleeping Sakura on his back as they walked home together. Yukito and future Sakura walked closely behind him and chatted about the food at the café.
"Hey, Future Sakura." Toya called her. Future Sakura responded by giving him her attention.
"What should we call you since you'll be staying here a while I guess. It could get pretty confusing calling both of you Sakura."
"Good Point." Yukito agreed.
"weeeeellllll….. I guess you can call me Sake"
"Sake?" Toya and Yukito questioned at the same time.
"Let's just say Sakura's kiss was sweet, warm and numbing like Sake."Her answer left both Toya and Yukito blushing. Toya's perception of his little sister-or better yet in this, case little sisters would never be the same.
============================The heartless one======================
