Remember I do not own CCS.

Now for the story.


Tenji stared blankly at Touya, who sat silently on his bed. Taking a moment to realize that he was there, Tenji finally moved to sit on the chair at his desk, moving it to sit directly across from Touya. "So? Where's the Kaijuu?" He asked. Tenji smiled at the name. That was Touya's nickname for Sakura. He liked it when Touya was home, it meant that the entire family was almost together again, but with what just happened the house only felt empty.

"Not home." Tenji answered, his eyes casted to the ground.

"Then where is she?" Tenji stared at Touya. He was never home, so it was strange that he asked for her, but at the same time, it wasn't strange. Touya was just being Touya, and Touya did what he liked when he liked to.

"You're not gonna ask if she's at a friend's place?"

"No. She wouldn't go over to a friends place when it's her day to cook." Touya said. "But, I'll do it because she's not here, and since it's been awhile." There was a long silence between them after that. It seemed to Tenji that Touya wanted to talk about something, either that or Touya knew that he and Sakura were in the middle of a fight. "So, whatcha guys fight about this time?" Touya finally questioned. Tenji sighed. He knew that Touya knew they fought. Touya wasn't one to meddle uness things were serious, and so that meant this fight between him and Sakura was serious, more serious than he had thought it was.

"How'd you know?" Tenji questioned resting his head on his chair.

"Well, for one Sakura isn't home, and it's her turn to cook. Two, you're sulking. You don't sulk like this for anyone but Sakura." He watched as Touya smirked. He hated how Touya was always right, loved the fact that Touya was always there for something like this. "So?"

"We fought about why she couldn't make friends."

"But she does have a friend."

"You know about her too."

"For awhile now. I caught her going into a room that wasn't mother's. She wasn't really that good at hiding it." Touya said as if it was obvious. "So? Why now? She's never really had friends before."

"Because, some of my friends want to be her friend, but she doesn't want to."

"So, what's the problem?"

"They all say that when she's with them she's enjoying herself."

"And do you know why she can't?" Touya's voice sounded like he knew something, something he didn't and he didn't like that.

"No. She doesn't want to tell me."

"Well, there's gotta be a reason why she can't tell you." Touya said, "Look, she's a girl and your a boy. She's gonna want her privacy, and she's gonna have secrets. We all have secrets."

"You too?"

"Well, yeah. I have my secrets. Do I trust you? Yes, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna tell you them. They're mine and mine alone until I want to tell you."

"That just tells me you don't trust me."

"I bet you have your own secrets." Touya said and he was right. He did have his own secrets. "And you probably won't tell me. I trust you so it doesn't matter to me if I know your secret or not. I'll wait until you decide to tell. I'll wait, five, ten years, forever even."

Tenji got up, walked over to Touya and sat down next to him. "Why do you only act like an older brother when you need to?" Tenji mumbled.

"Hey, watch what you say. I am your older brother." Touya grinned and messed with Tenji's hair before standing up. "Anyways, don't worry about Sakura. She'll be fine. You should just trust her. I'm sure she trusts you. Just wait until she wants to tell you. She will eventually. I mean you guys are family, twins."

He watched as Touya left his room, leaving him alone again. Tenji closed his eyes and sighed. Touya was right. He was always right when it came to them, and because he was always right, felt really bad now . He remembered their talk, and how Sakura kept telling him to just trust her, but did he? No, he didn't and now that it was like this, he didn't know if they could go back to the way they were before. Touya said they could but he felt like they couldn't. He had scared her, something that he never want to do to her. He even saw her flinch and he didn't apologize, or try to calm her.

Tenji laid on his bed and curled his knees to his chest. He felt really bad, but it would be a while before he could apologize to her. She was stubborn, and if she wanted to she could find ways to avoid him. She's done it with others, so he wasn't hard to avoid either. He sighed and turned to face the white walls again. He hoped their relation wasn't strained because of this. He hoped they could go back to normal after all this blows over.

Syaoran walked quietly with the twins in either of his arms, watching them as they clung onto him. The three of them had just left the store with all of their needs for that night. The bags they had gotten from the store, were in a duffel bag that hung from his side, adding more weight to his already very heavy body. The three of them had gone shopping because they were running out of food, and because it was just him most of the time he never really had to worry about food before, but now that the twins were there he found that his fridge was always stocked with food.

Sakura had always been the one to mention that he needed food and every time she did they'd all go together and pick what they wanted to eat. Usually they would get some snacks for the twins, and ingredients for that night's dinner, but because Sakura wasn't here he decided that something simple like omelette rice was good because he didn't know what the twins could eat at the age of a year and half. He was sure it was just milk, but at the same time he didn't know if milk was enough.

He smiled at them as they pointed out everything and anything even though it was dark. He wondered how'd they act when it was morning, when they could see things like animals. They continued to walk, until he felt Suppie and Kero wiggle in his arms, wondering what they wanted. He groaned, and set them down, not wanting them to fall from his arms. As soon as he had, he watched as they scampered off. He growled with frustration before quickly following after them. He wondered what it was that caught their attention in the darkness, and he was surprise that they could even see in the darkness.

He followed closely behind them, noticing as they entered the park. As they walked through the park, he wondered how deep they were going to go. It wasn't that it wasn't safe out, but it was more of the fact that they could see this far into the park, and that only peaked his interest even more. When they came to the playground in the middle of the park, he noticed someone sitting on the top of the slide, and as they got closer, he realized who it was that was sitting there. It was Sakura.

How the twins had spotted her from the street he didn't know, but he was glad that they had found her. He had been wanting to talk to her since the other day. He felt bad for prying into her business, but he still wanted to know her secrets. He felt like it wasn't because she just didn't want to be friends with them, that there was a whole different reason. A more complicated reason to how she acted.

Syaoran watched as the twins approached her at the bottom of the slide. He smiled as they tried climbing up the slide to get to Sakura. The surprise look on her face, told him that they had gotten her attention, and this made him wonder why she was there. He watched her as she watched Kero waddled over to him. He smiled feeling the small hand grab onto his hands. Kero tugged at his hand, and glanced up when Syaoran did not move. Kero made a weird noise and turned to look at Sakura before looking back at Syaoran with a smile. The smile that adorn on Kero's face made Syaoran melt, finally letting Kero drag him to Sakura. Kero repeated shouted out Sakura's name, as he dragged him towards her.

Syaoran watched as Sakura glanced at him with wide eyes, and he knew then she wondered what he was doing there. When he finally reached the girl he stood next to her looking up at her. She wasn't that high up, but high enough to make him look up at her. He looked at Suppie who still tried to get to Sakura, before picking him up and handing him to Sakura. Suppie squealed with delight, screaming Sakura's name. Syaoran smiled and looked down at the blonde twin who looked as though he couldn't believe what Syaoran had done. Syaoran laughed and picked him up in his arms, facing Kero towards Sakura.

"Hey, having a nice night?" He asked, noticing now that something was not right with Sakura. When she had glanced at him, he noticed her tear stricken face. The instant thought of her crying did not please him, made him feel angry.

"It's… been alright." She answer. He didn't expect him to answer him. She never did when it came to questions like these. "Well, better now that the twins are here." A small smile appeared on her face at the mention of the twins. It was always the twin, and not himself. It wasn't fair.

"So?" He hesitantly started, "Whatcha doing here so late?" He wasn't sure if Sakura was going to answer because the question was kind of personal, and she never answered questions that were personal, or kind of personal.

"I could ask you the same." She replied, not bothering to answer his question. Syaoran internally sighed wondering what he was hoping for. He knew she wasn't going to answer his question. She never did, or when she did the answer never related to the question, or she was questioning him with the same question.

Syaoran patted the duffel bag at her side showing her that they had just come back from shopping. She nodded her head and looked away. The mood had not gotten any better. She looked alright, but he knew she wasn't. Even if he didn't spend that much time with her, it was much more than when he watched her a from a far. Even then he could tell what she felt. Call it creepy, but he had spent four years looking at her from afar, there was never a chance for him to get close to her until now. Sure her brother was an excuse but even then, he still didn't find any opportunities to befriend her.

He didn't know if he should ask the question they both knew he wanted to ask. It was in the air, and in the way he stood. He couldn't help but want to ask. What else was he supposed to do? He didn't like this mood, it was awkward, and he didn't like seeing her like this. He wanted to make her smile like when she smiled at the twins.

"Wanna eat at my place?" He asked, suddenly. That had not been what he wanted say, but it was better than not saying anything.

"Sure." She instantly replied sliding down the slide with Suppie. At the bottom of the slide she stood and moved over to him. "When did they learn to walk?" She suddenly asked, remembering that Suppie and Kero had walked to her.

"They always knew how to."

"They never walk when I'm around."

"They liked being carried by you." He noticed the mood around them had lightened, and she seemed to be feeling a little better. They walked in silence all the way to his house, and it wasn't long before they reached his house. They approached the front door and he opened the door, holding it open for her. She thanked him and walked in, the twins following after her. It was like watching a mother duck and her ducklings. The thought made Syaoran smile before he finally walked into the house himself.

He watched as Sakura, made herself comfortable in his living, laying on the couch. She turn the TV on and watched whatever anime that had popped up. Kero and Suppie were sprawled all over her, giggling and laughing. He shrugged and made his way to the kitchen and began preparing the food. There wasn't much preparation since all he was making was an omelette, and so it wasn't long before he pulled the pans out.

Syaoran quietly drizzled the oil in the pan and tilted it, watching as the oil moed slowly across the pan. He would wait for the pan to heat up a bit before he finally, put the eggs in. Hearing something approach him from behind he turned around and stared at the girl who stood leaning against the frame of the door.

"What're you making for dinner?" She asked pushing off the frame and moving next to him, leaning against the counter.

"Omelette Rice." He answered. "What?" She had given him a disbelieving look. "I can make what I want. If you must want something extravagant for dinner, then I must tell you, my lady, that we do not have any ingredients." He listened with wide eyes as Sakura laughed. He didn't think she would laugh at such simple words like that. He thought it was impossible for him to make her laugh, let alone smile. He thought about it, and as he thought about it he came to realize that maybe he was getting closer to befriending her.

"Why are you talking like that?"

"Because." He simply answer, earning a punch from her. It was a light and playful hit, but still a hit.

"That's not a answer." She said staring at him. Her laughter died when she noticed that he wasn't laughing. "Uh─" But before she could say anything he began to speak.

"You didn't just hit me now did you?" He questioned sarcastically.

"Uh~ No~" She lied. She watched as he turned the stove off and turned to face her. He slowly stepped towards her, and she slipped away from the counter. She was not going to get trapped there. "What are you doing?" She questioned, stopping to look at him. He took another painfully slow step towards her.

"Seriously what are you doing?" She questioned again. He ignored her taking another step.

"You want to know?" He questioned, taking another step. A smile formed on his face, and a glint appeared in his eyes when she nodded her head. She didn't like the look of the smile or the glint in his eyes. It screamed danger. Sakura glanced at the kitchen door and back to Syaoran before she darted off towards the living room. Syaoran was quick to follow after her, and the two found themselves standing in the living room. Sakura behind the couch and Syaoran on the opposite side.

"No." Sakura said, knowing what he might possibly do.

"Come on. It won't hurt."

"No."

"Sakura."

"No."

"Then I shall come and get you then." He watched as a small smile appeared on her face. He quickly darted around the couch, chasing her to the other side. They ran in circles for a couple of minutes before Suppie crawled over to Syaoran wanting to join them in their fun. Syaoran yelled as he tried to stop himself. He summer salted over the boy and onto his back, where Sakura was quick to sit on top of him. Suppie and Kero had joined her, wanting to play as well.

"No." Sakura firmly said again, giggling as both Kero and Suppie repeated after her, pointing accusing fingers at Syaoran.

"Okay, I won't." Syaoran said. "Now could you get off of me."

Sakura nodded her head, and began moving the twins off of him. When she had pulled them off of him, she began getting up herself. Just as she began standing she felt as Syaoran flipped over, switching their positions. He stared down at her with a smile, holding her arms above her head, with his legs on either sides of hers.

"I win." He pronounced triumphantly.

"Cheats." She called out, kicking her legs.

"Well, I wasn't finished, but I was going to let go, until you started kicking." He said, before taking both of her wrist into one of his hands, and began tickling her with the other. Sakura laughed and struggled as Syaoran tickled her.

"Stop! Li-kun." She screamed, laughing all the while.

"Stop!" She screamed again. "Syaoran, stop."

His tickling came to an abrupt stopped, and he felt as she tensed underneath him. His amber eyes stared into her bright green ones. They had both realized what she had said, and Syaoran liked the way it sounded. It was the first time she had called out his name, and in every way it sounded right. From her he didn't like hearing his last name. It put a distance between them, and he wanted to be closer to her. As if remembering what they were doing Sakura pushed him off, and stood up, walking to the kitchen. She knew that he would follow after her like a lost little puppy.

In the kitchen the two stood silently. Syaoran by the door, and Sakura by the sink, her back to him. He couldn't go back to being nonexistent in her life. Not after what just happened. It was obvious to the both of them that Sakura, didn't like being alone, that this was her normal self. Not that cold one that was just an act.

"Sakura," He said quietly, hoping to get a response. "This is what you need. This is what your supposed to be acting like. That cold and mean person you were before, that's not you. You need a friend, someone you can spill all your secrets to. You can't be by yourself anymore. I can see it, you have problems, but you can't tell anyone. Just tell me, and if not me then Meiling. She'd help you. She's your friend right?"

She didn't say anything, bringing Syaoran down again. "Well, then I'll leave you alone if you tell me why you were at the park that late? That and only that, then I'd leave you alone, like you want me to."

"Fine, but after that, you and all of your friends will leave me alone, right?"

"Me yes, them. . . maybe."

Then she told him. Told him that she got into a fight with her brother. He listened and didn't say anything because he felt like if he did she'd stop. As soon as she was finished telling him, she left, not eating dinner with them.

After she left he finished making dinner and fed the twins. He thought that if the twins were here he'd get closer to her, and he did get closer to her, but then he saw that in doing so he had only grew farther from her. After dinner he put the twins to sleep, and laid in bed, just thinking. He thought about everything she said, and none of it added up. He knew that this was what was best for her. That this is what she needed the most. And what that was some friends.


Alright all done. Hope you've enjoyed this chapter.
