I know it's been forever since I updated this but a lot of things were taking my time and not much inspiration. But lucky me, this came up. XD

Enjoy.

Brothers will be brothers

"I see you're with my sister again, brat."

Syaoran sighed as Sakura angrily pouted at her older brother Touya. This happened on a regular basis. Walk to school together, spend at school together, and walk home together. Unfortunately, while Sakura was a teenager, she was still young.

Which was somehow more than a reason for Touya to tag along as much as he could. Though Yukito have yet to address the problem.

"Nii-san, for the hundredth time Syaoran's not a brat." Sakura huffed. "He's a very good friend and just wants me to be safe as much as you do." She missed the slight blush coming from the boy in question.

"Doesn't matter. The way I see it, he's still a brat." Touya stated; feeling smug.

"Touya—" Sakura started but felt a hand on her shoulder and look to see Syaoran smiling at her.

"It's okay, Sakura. I don't mind. He is your older brother." Syaoran placated the young girl.

Sighing, Sakura relented but turned her head back at Touya with a glare. "You know, you're not the only older brother. Syaoran has an older brother too and he doesn't like it when you make fun of him."

"Pfft. You mean that other brat?" Touya scoffed. "Yeah, he's not much of a damn threat. And for someone who's older, he's freaking shorter than this one." He pointed to Syaoran with a grin.

"You don't know nii-san!" Making fun of him was one thing but having someone make fun of his twin wasn't something that Syaoran was going to take lying down. "He's the strongest guy I know. He's also smarter, faster and braver then you'll ever be!"

Sakura had to stare at Syaoran. He rarely raised his voice at Touya when he had to deal with him but she smiled nonetheless. "Yeah!" She turned to Touya. "Syaoron's a very great guy and mother said that you shouldn't make fun of people for no reason!"

Touya had to shake his head in disinterest. "Whatever. If that second brat is so great. Where the hell is he now—"

Out of nowhere, something pushed through Syaoran and Sakura like the wind and in the midst of three seconds, kicked Touya hard in the stomach, sending him flying several feet before hitting the sidewalk.

The figure leaped down in a fighting stance before it stood up and turned to the younger duo. "Someone called for a rescue?"

"Nii-san!" Syaoran cried out as he ran and hugged his brother. "I thought you had basketball practice."

"It got canceled." Syaoron hugged back with a grin. "And I couldn't help but overhear a few times while trying to catch up with you guys."

"I'm sorry." Sakura giggled. "Touya-nii-san can be a bit overprotective…."

"No kidding, although…." Looping an arm around Syaoran's shoulders, Syaoron pulled him close. "I can be overprotective too." He gave Sakura a look as he said it.

"Nii-san…." Syaoran blushed; already feeling embarrassed enough.

Sakura smiled. "I got it. You don't have to worry about Syaoran with me."

"I know. Just checking." Syaoron grinned toothily.

"Um guys…what do we do about him?"

The three turned to see Touya still knocked out on the sidewalk.

Syaoron shrugged. "Meh, I guess I can drag him back or something."

"Wait," Sakura pulled out her cellphone with a smile. "I got a better idea." She should have done this from the start.

"So Touya, what did we learn?"

Touya grumbled as Yukito helped him walk home as he held his aching and bruising stomach. "Don't make fun of Sakura's friends. You never know when they have older brothers too…."

"Good." Yukito nodded. "And Syaoron already apologized for that act so let bygones be bygones. Okay?"

"Whatever." A lingering pause then followed. "I still hate the brat."

"Well after today Touya, the feeling is mutual for someone else." Yukito sighed. He liked Touya but he really needs to get off his high horse once in a while.

Or else he'll end up black and purple on the ground by Little dragon.

END

In case you don't get the last line: in a fic called December Baby: Yuui and the boy by Leia de Flourite since the Li' twins are Chinese, she gave Syaoron a very convincing and legit native Chinese name that translates literally to Little Dragon thus...
