Drabble number 7 for you all! I apologize in advance if this one's not on par with my regular writing. I'm sick right now, and all the meds I'm on are making me a little loopy.... whooooooo! Ahahahahaaaa!

Disclaimer: Alas, I do not own Card Captor Sakura, or anything related to said anime/manga. All I do own is... (checks pockets)... a pack of gum and a library card.

Kinomoto Touya hated Li Syaoran. He absolutely loathed him. Ever since he saw the ten-year-old Li picking a fight with his sister the first day they met, he knew the gaki was nothing but trouble.

Sakura had once asked him before why he hated him so. "What happened when you met is in the past! Can't you forgive him for his actions six years ago?"

His response had been, "I'll never forgive him."

Not because of the boy's past hostility, but because he had wormed his way into his sister's heart. Now Touya was no longer the one who could protect Sakura, no longer was he the one who could take care of her. Now the one she would rely upon was that... that gaki.

Touya glared furiously at his pancakes on the kitchen table. That damned Li Syaoran, taking my sister away from me. A shocked "hoe! I'm late!" and the sound of footsteps rushing downstairs interrupted his inner tirade. "No time for breakfast," Sakura mourned. Then, she hurriedly approached Touya and gave him a swift hug. "Love you nii-chan!" Then she dashed out the door.

"Be safe—" Touya began to tell her retreating figure. The door swung shut. "—Kaijou," he finished with a faint smile.


209 words. Let me know what you think! Ryoko Yuki, patri-300, hollywoodmiss, and James Birdsong (there's a male among us! -gasp- jk jk!), you are all near and dear to my heart. Alrighty, I'm going to go into a codeine-induced slumber now. Ciao!
