Chapter 9: Arguments
Sakura's House
"Otou-san, why Onni-chan is here? He should be at work, right?" Sakura said after she saw Touya in the living room. Fujitaka smiled. Vince looked at them with a chuckle. Tomoyo was answering a phone call.
"I'm going to be transferred to Tokyo in two days," Touya said with a grin.
"Nani? This is a nightmare," Touya said.
"Don't worry, it's still morning. I want to see your dorm too," Touya said.
"Onni-chan, I have something to tell you," Sakura said.
"Vince and I will be in the study room while you two do your catching up," Fujitaka said and left with Vince.
"We are not staying in a dorm," Sakura said.
"Nani?! Then, where did you live in now?" Touya asked.
"The hostel is still under construction, so the principal gave us rooms in her student's house," Sakura explained.
"This is too suspicious. Girl or boy?" Touya asked.
"Of course they are girls," Sakura said.
"What do you mean 'they'?" Touya asked.
"There are three of them. Mei Xi, Mei Xin and Aimi," Sakura explained with an annoying voice. Tomoyo sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.
"Give me the address right now!" Touya said. Sakura stayed silent and looked at Tomoyo who smiled, "I was waiting for that."
Tomoyo gave Touya a card that had their address on it.
"Onni-chan, make us some tea," Sakura commanded. Touya looked at her and grinned, "And who are you to command me around?"
"You know, Onni-chan. I'm not very sure with the address. You may just don't get to see me in Tokyo, you know," Sakura threatened as Touya left to the kitchen. Sakura laughed but stopped when she heard her phone ringing.
"Oh, where is it?" Sakura searched for her phone in her bag. She let out all the things in the bag including the house key. She found her phone and quickly answered it.
"Hello," Sakura greeted with a cheerful voice.
"At last, you answer my call," a voice said with joy.
"Who are you?" Sakura asked as she did not recognize the voice.
"You know me, Sakura," the voice said sadly.
"Sorry but you had the wrong number," Sakura quickly hung up.
"Sakura, what's wrong?" Tomoyo asked.
"It's Syaoran," Sakura said as tears rolled down her cheeks. Vince and Fujitaka were walking to the living room when they heard Sakura's sobs.
"Syaoran called," Sakura looked at Fujitaka as Fujitaka sat beside her and hugged her.
"Maybe you should change your number," Touya said as he put the tea on the table.
"We'll change it right now, okay?" Tomoyo said as Sakura nodded.
"I'll wait here. You two go for it," Vince said. Tomoyo smiled and left with Sakura.
"I'm sorry about your brother and his girlfriend still couldn't forget him," Fujitaka said.
"How did you know?" Vince asked with a shocked look.
"His friend, Alexander told me before he left for Taiwan," Fujitaka explained with a smile. Vince sighed deeply.
Flashback I
"Hi, I'm Vince," Vince introduced himself to a girl with auburn hair. He has been trying to talk to her but she would always disappear in a few seconds.
"Hi, I'm Sheifa," the girl said with a smile.
"Sheifa… nice name. Can I sit down?" Vince said with a smile. Sheifa nodded her head.
"What are you doing here?" Sheifa asked.
"I'm searching for you," Vince said with a chuckle while Sheifa blushed.
"I'm studying here. I'm taking archaeology," Vince explained with a smile and Sheifa smiled back, "I know."
Vince was mesmerized to see her most beautiful smile. Sheifa looked at her watch.
"Oh, God! I'm sorry, I have a class," Sheifa said but Vince pulled her hand.
"We'll meet again, right?" Vince asked as Sheifa nodded with a smile.
"Bye, Vince," Sheifa said and ran off.
Flashback II
Vince hid beside the wall to scare Sheifa but he heard her called his name.
"Busted," Vince mumbled as he was about to get out from his hiding place but stayed when he saw another guy that look just like him.
"Hi, Vince," Sheifa said.
"Hi, what's your name?" the guy asked with a smile.
"Sheifa, of course," Sheifa hit his shoulder playfully.
"Call me Vincent, okay?" Vincent said.
"But why?" Sheifa asked.
"Well, because… because my real name is Vincent. I was just using my brother's name before," Vincent said with a smile. Vince felt like his heart has been cut by his own brother, his twin.
"I've been dying to ask you a question," Vincent looked at Sheifa who just looked at him in the eyes.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" Vincent said. Vince looked at them with sadness in his eyes. Sheifa blushed like mad.
"I'll take that as a yes," Vincent said. Vince walked away with a deep pain in his heart.
"Goodbye, Sheifa. How could you do this to me, Vincent?" Vince said as he walked as fast as he could.
End Flashback
"Hey, Vince. Your phone is ringing," Touya nudged Vince's shoulder as he didn't hear Touya's first call.
"Oh, hello," Vince said.
"Oh… it's you. Okay, I'll save your number. Don't worry, I'll give him too," Vince said as Touya listened to him.
"Touya, this is Sakura's number," Vince showed the number on the screen of his phone.
"Why? Can't she call me?" Touya asked and mesmerized the number.
"She said don't be jealous," Vince said and chuckled.
"Ano kaijau!" Touya said and clenched his fist.
"She sounds better," Vince said.
"I hope so," Touya said and got up. He went into the kitchen and put his hand into his pocket and let out a key as he grinned.
"Tadaima," Sakura said. Touya walked into the living room as he looked at Sakura.
"Okairi, kaijau," Touya said.
"Sakura no kaijau!!" Sakura screamed and tried to kick his shin but he quickly dodged it.
"I'm getting smarter, kaijau," Touya smirked and sat beside Tomoyo. Sakura face became red and she screamed at Touya's ear.
"At least I can make you deaf," Sakura looked at Touya who was trying to get his sense of hearing back. Vince smiled and glanced at his watch.
"I'm going to meet a friend. Could you send me to the Equatorial Hotel?" Vince asked.
"Can't you stay for dinner?" Fujitaka asked.
"I'm sorry but I've promised my friend that I'll have dinner with him and his fiancée," Vince explained. Sakura and Tomoyo gave their goodbye to Fujitaka and Touya. Tomoyo went home before sending Vince to the hotel to get her car. Sakura drove Mei Xin's car while Tomoyo drove hers. After sending Vince to the hotel, they did some shopping. They bought some gifts for their housemates. They reached their house exactly on 4 p.m.
"Sakura, Tomoyo, can you help me?" Mei Xin asked.
"One second," Tomoyo said as she helped Sakura with some bags.
"Let me help you," Mei Xin offered and took three bags in her hands. She put the bags on the sofa and pulled Sakura and Tomoyo into the kitchen.
"Can you help me make some pancakes? I feel like eating pancakes today," Mei Xin pleaded with a smile.
"Where is the flour?" Sakura asked.
"Well… I don't know but don't worry, I'll find it," Mei Xin said as Tomoyo took out a bowl and put it on the table.
"I found it. Here," Mei Xin gave a container to Sakura. Sakura looked at it and tasted it.
"This is icing sugar, not flour," Sakura smiled with a sweatdrop behind her head.
"Oh, is that so?" Mei Xin laughed as Sakura and Tomoyo looked at each other.
"You just sit here and we'll do it for you," Tomoyo said and searched for the flour. She found it in the cabinet where Mei Xin took the sugar out. They made her the pancakes and left her as they walked into their rooms to get a bath.
Next Day
"Sakura, wake up. Our class start at 9," Tomoyo woke Sakura up with a shake.
"Nani?" Sakura said and rubbed her eyes.
"It's 8.50," Tomoyo said. Sakura went into the bathroom and had a quick bath. She wore a white blouse and a pair of denim jeans.
"Let's get breakfast," Tomoyo said with a smile.
"Aren't we late?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo shook her head.
"We still have 15 minutes," Tomoyo said.
"You're an evil girl," Sakura hit Tomoyo's shoulder playfully.
"Ohayo, Sakura, Tomoyo," Mei Xin and Aimi greeted them.
"Ohayo, where's Mei Xi?" Sakura asked as she looked around.
"She's still sleeping. Her class only start at 2," Mei Xin explained.
"These are your breakfast, girls. I've have to go to work now. Bye," Aimi said and took her bag.
"Bye, chef. Have a nice cooking," Mei Xin said. Aimi smiled and opened the door. She looked at Mei Xin before she closed the door, "Don't misunderstand icing sugar and flour again."
"Aimi!" Mei Xin screamed. Sakura and Tomoyo laughed as they finished their breakfast.
"Let's get going," Tomoyo said after looking at her watch. Mei Xin took their plates and washed them.
"Ikidasho!" Mei Xin said and took her bag.
"You are very good at rollerblading, right? How about a roller blade race?" Mei Xin asked. Sakura looked at her with a smile.
"No sweat," Sakura answered.
"I'll take the car," Tomoyo said and took out her camcorder. Sakura and Mei Xin sweatdropped and started giggling.
University
"Hi, Mei Xin," Kyoko said as Mei Xin waved at her.
"Wow, Sakura's number one. See you at lunch. Bye, girls," Mei Xin and moved towards Kyoko and disappeared.
"Where is our first class?" Sakura asked.
"Hall 3" Tomoyo looked at her timetable.
"And where is it?" Sakura asked again.
"Mei Xi had given me a map last night," Tomoyo gave the map to Sakura.
"She just knows what we need," Sakura laughed as they walked towards Hall 3.
"Yes, maybe she can see the future," Tomoyo said as Sakura looked at her with a nod. They opened the door as all eyes were on them. They sat side by side when they heard the boys them talking.
"That hot chicks are mine," a boy with flaxen hair said.
"Kyle, you're so greedy. There are two of them. I want the black-haired one," a boy with purplish eyes said.
"I like the brown-haired one. She looks sporty," Kyle said as he walked towards Sakura.
"Hi, I'm Kyle. Nice to meet you, Miss…" Kyle said charmingly.
"Gomen but I've heard what you just talking with your friend there. For your information, we're fine ladies, not some chicks that will fall to you with your so cool attitude," Sakura said as Tomoyo chuckled, "The lecturer is here and she's such a chick too. Why don't you try your charm on her?"
"Wow, Kyle lose for the first time," his friends said as Kyle sat back on his seat.
House
Touya unlocked the door and examined the house as is he owned it. He opened each door just to find Sakura's room. He saw a room with a 'Don't Disturb' sign on the lock. He opened it and saw a girl was standing in front of him. She punched him in the stomach.
"Ittai!" Touya said with his hands on his stomach.
"What are you doing in my house?" Mei Xi said.
"I never know a squid like you can punch," Touya said.
"What the hell are you doing in my house, stupid head?" Mei Xi asked suspiciously.
"I just want to see who the heck my sister living with?" Touya explained.
"And who is your sister?" Mei Xi asked.
"Kinomoto Sakura and I am Kinomoto Touya, her brother," Touya answered with a glare.
"I didn't ask for your name, stupid head," Mei Xi said and glared him back.
"I didn't know a bright girl like her has a stupid head as a brother," Mei Xi said and walked into the kitchen.
"Hey, squid…" Touya tried to speak when Mei Xi pulled his collar.
"I have a NAME and it's MEI XI," Mei Xi said angrily.
"If you can call me stupid head, so can I," Touya said as he pushed Mei Xi's hand. Mei Xi glared at him.
"It's just a waste of time talking to you," Mei Xi said as she took out a bottle of juice and poured it into a glass. She drank the juice and walked into the living room as Touya followed her.
"Hey, stop following me like a baby chick! You see, this house won't hurt your sister. It won't move an inch and the people living in the house will take good care of her, okay?" Mei Xi said as she stomped her feet.
"I want to ask a few questions, squid," Touya said and sat in front of Mei Xi.
"Sakura is not here, she'll be home at 12," Mei Xi said and tried to get up when Touya pulled her down.
"What?!" Mei Xi screamed.
"I want to ask you, squid," Touya said, almost yelling.
"You want to ask a squid and I'm not a squid," Mei Xi said and pushed his hands.
"Okay, fine. Mei Xi," Touya said.
"That sounds better," Mei Xi said without a smile.
"You are from a nice family, right?" Touya asked.
"What do you think?" Mei Xi asked him back.
"Well, no piercing here and there, really 'great' attitude. Without that punch and yells, I will think you are from a nice family," Touya answered.
"So, I am what you think I am," Mei Xi said.
"I'm answering my own question. Don't you think so, sq… Mei Xi," Touya said as he met with Mei Xi's glare.
"You're a Chinese, right?" Touya asked.
"My name has shown that I'm a Chinese," Mei Xi answered.
"Your answers are making me angry, if you didn't notice," Touya said.
"What do I care? If I hate someone, I'll show that someone how I really hate him," Mei Xi said.
"So, if you're a Chinese, you must have your clan name. What's your clan name?" Touya asked.
"This is outrageous. I'm not answering," Mei Xi said and walked away when Touya got up, followed her and grabbed her hand.
"Kuso! This is not happening," Mei Xi said as she put her other hand on her stomach. Touya looked at Mei Xi, who fell in front of him, sweating like mad.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Touya asked worriedly. Mei Xi did not speak a word but her tears were rolling down her cheeks. He tried to lift her up but she pushed him away. Mei Xi walked with difficulty but fainted in front of her room's door. Touya lifted her and put her on the sofa. He took a glass of water from the kitchen. He sprinkled the water on her face.
"Hey, yamero," Mei Xi said.
"You should thank me, squid or you may be sleeping forever," Touya said with a glare.
"I'm not dead yet. If I'm determine to live, then I'll live," Mei Xi said and glared back.
"Are you really sick or are you just pretending that you're sick to get my attention?" Touya asked but his heart gave a very clear intuition that she is really sick.
"Dream on. Why the hell I need to pretend that I'm sick? I've got gastric," Mei Xi explained but she knew Touya thought she was really sick when she read his mind.
"Give this key to Sakura," Touya ordered as Mei Xi glared at him, "I'm not your servant! Give it to her by yourself, stupid head!"
"Crazy girl! If you don't want to give it to her. It's okay but tell her I'm her neighbour if you don't mind," Touya said as he put the key into his pocket.
"I do mind! Now get out from my house, stupid head," Mei Xi said as Touya left.
"Who was yelling at you, Touya?" Yukito asked as he was on the way to his new house.
"A crazy girl," Touya answered.
"I've bought all the ingredients," Yukito said cheerfully.
"Let's go then or the landlady will sure to kick us out from her house," Touya said.
"You're the one who said to her that you'll do anything to rent the house," Yukito said with a smile.
"Urusai!" Touya said with an angry expression on his face as Yukito chuckled.
Afternoon
"Tadaima," Sakura, Tomoyo and Mei Xin said.
"Okairi," Mei Xi said from the kitchen.
"Hmm, smells good," Mei Xin said with a smile.
"Ne-chan, what are you cooking?" Mei Xin walked around Mei Xi.
"I'm making chicken chow mein," Mei Xi answered as she grabbed Mei Xin's hand, so that she would stop moving around her.
"Where's Sakura?" Mei Xi asked. Mei Xin stuck her head out the entrance, "Sakura, Mei Xi called you."
"What's up?" Sakura asked as Tomoyo sat on the chair.
"Your brother came at about ten," Mei Xi explained.
"Touya? Here?" Sakura asked. Mei Xi nodded her head.
"Your brother, who loves to bully just like Mei Xi," Mei Xin said with a smile. Mei Xi glared at her as Mei Xin quickly looked down at the floor.
"He got your key and he said we're neighbours," Mei Xi said as she put the noodles into four plates.
"Neighbours? That means next door," Sakura said with a shocked look.
"Tomoyo, save me," Sakura held Tomoyo's hand.
"Daijoubu. We are all here. Mei Xi, Mei Xin, Aimi and me are here to banish all your worries and problems. We will make sure he won't disturb you or he'll be sorry," Tomoyo said.
"Count me in," Mei Xin said and jumped around.
"You are in," Mei Xi said as Mei Xin pouted.
"Let's eat. I'm hungry," Mei Xin sat in front of her plate with her hands holding her spoon and fork. Mei Xi, Sakura and Tomoyo sweatdropped and slowly sat on the chairs.
"Itadakimasu," they all said.
"Eat, eat," Mei Xin said as they sighed.
"Ne-chan, you didn't play the violin today," Mei Xin said.
"I've got a headache," Mei Xi explained.
"You can play violin?" Sakura asked. Mei Xi nodded.
"She'll play it everyday except today, of course. But she always play the sad songs," Mei Xin explained.
"Eat your food," Mei Xi said as she went to the sink. She washed her plate and let out four iced cup cakes from the fridge.
"Ja. I need to go to the library," Mei Xi said as she took an iced cup cake. She took her bag and left.
"What song does she always play?" Tomoyo asked curiously.
"Too many, can't remember but for sure, it's sad. Oh! There's this one that my mother used to hum the music but I don't know who sang it," Mei Xin said.
"I'm going to my room," Mei Xin said when suddenly, they heard the bell ringing.
"I got it," Mei Xin said as she walked as fast as she could to the door.
"May I help you?" Mei Xin said with a smile but her smile gone when she saw Touya's glare.
"Sakura is here?" another guy beside him said. Mei Xin nodded her head without looking at Touya.
"Sakura," Mei Xin said. Sakura went to the front door and met eyes with her one and only overprotective brother.
"Yukito-kun," Sakura said and pulled him inside.
"How about me?" Touya asked.
"Who are you? Are you a friend of mine?" Sakura said with a glare.
"I'm your big brother," Touya pretended to smile sweetly.
"Touya, did you meet this girl?" Yukito asked. Touya shook his head. Sakura and Mei Xin were shocked that Touya can differentiate Mei Xi and Mei Xin.
"How did you know? They are identical twins," Sakura said.
"She looks softer than that squid," Touya explained. Yukito looked at them with a puzzled look. Tomoyo brought out some cookies and tea.
"Hmm… some people say that a person can differentiate twins when he loves one of them," Tomoyo said as she sat beside Mei Xin.
"I'm not falling for that squid," Touya said.
"I didn't say you're falling in love with Mei Xi, you could be in love with Mei Xin too," Tomoyo said with a grin. Sakura and Mei Xin smiled while Yukito was lost in the tea and cookies.
"Oh! Now I remember who called Mei Xi a squid. You must be that stupid head," Mei Xin tried to hold her laughter.
"Stupid head?" Sakura and Tomoyo said in unison. They looked at each other and started to laugh. Touya gave a death glare to Mei Xin, which sent Mei Xin to stop her laughter.
"I'm going to my room," Mei Xin said and quickly went into her room.
"What's wrong with that girl?" Touya asked.
"You are in the wrong. Why did you glare at her? You're really a stupid head," Sakura chuckled. Touya glared at her.
"I'm not afraid of your glare. I'm immune," Sakura said and stuck out her tongue at Touya. Tomoyo and Yukito went to the kitchen to fill the plate and tea again.
"Oh, by the way, where's my key?" Sakura asked.
"I'm NOT giving it to you," Touya said with a grin. Sakura got up and walked towards him with an angry face.
