--------------------
Tsukishiro Yukito had been doing some cleaning at his home—the one he shared with his grandparents. Right now, his grandparents were out of town, again. As far as Yukito was concerned, they liked traveling so much that they were rarely home. However, Yukito was rarely lonely. He usually had friends over or he would go visit his them. In fact, in the Kinomoto residence, he was regarded as family.
'Touya had something important that he wanted to tell me recently…I wonder what it is' Yukito thought as he polished the floor. Touya had tried for about the fifth time to talk to Yukito alone but as he started, an energetic Akizuki Nakuru interrupted him.
A tender smile stretched across Yukito's face has he thought of Touya. Something about Touya had always appealed to Yukito. He was smart, and sometimes rude, but Touya was perceptive and kind at heart. Since Touya was very multi-talented, everyone around him had always expected great things from him. Nonetheless, Touya surpassed them all. Always hearing praises makes Touya somewhat confident and smug. Yukito did not mind though, because beneath that façade, Touya was still the kindest and gentlest person he had ever met.
Then there was Sakura. Yukito was aware that Sakura had developed somewhat of a crush on him, but he knew Sakura was mainly confused. He was certain Sakura's feelings for him were not as genuine as she thought. Sakura was delicate and innocent, so when the time comes that she admits her feelings for him, Yukito must let her down gently. Yukito had been preparing and practicing a speech in his mind already. Each word would be carefully crafted so they would minimize the pain he would cause when he reject her feelings. Sakura was energetic and kind and would never show a sad face, so Yukito resented the idea of having to one day hurt her. He was sure there was someone who would love Sakura best and she would love him best too, but Sakura had yet to find that person. Or perhaps, she already did but she did not realize her feelings for him yet because she was still caught up with her feelings for Yukito.
As for the gifts, the tokens of affection Sakura had given him, Yukito decided to take them and keep them. Sakura had put her heart into it and had made it with good intentions. Besides, if he rejected the gift, he would have to explain to Sakura that he really did not return her feelings. He would also have to explain that Sakura had confused her feelings for him with that of Fujitaka, her father. Fujitaka and Yukito were so much alike. Since Sakura loved her father so deeply, she loved Yukito deeply too, just by association.
His thoughts were suddenly interrupted as he heard a buzz form the intercom system that served as a doorbell.
"Hai? Dare desu ka?" Yukito's called into the intercom.
"Ummm…Sakura desu," Sakura replied shyly, her voice filtering in through the intercom. Outside, Sakura's cheek flushed red with anticipation her voice hesitant.
"Sou da! Chotto matte ne. I'll be right there," Yukito answered as he stepped away from the intercom. Sakura could hear him walking out of the chamber then padding down to the front corridor before opening the door. "Sa! Sakura-chan! It's nice to see you," Yukito greeted at the door.
"Konichi wa, Yukito-san," Sakura greeted.
"Konichi wa, Sakura-chan" Yukito answered as he bent down to smile at her. "Would you like to come in for some tea?" he invited.
"No thanks, I am just stopping by to deliver something," Sakura said with a blush. "I'll be on my way soon,"
"Really?" Yukito asked his lips curving to a smile as usual.
Seeing his smile, Sakura suddenly felt weak, Her face glowed even more as she bowed her head downward hoping Yukito wouldn't see her blushing so much. Rummaging through her bag, Sakura fetched out the chocolate she made for him and handed it with both hands. "Hai, Kore ageru," she said presenting her gift to Yukito.
Taking Sakura's gift, Yukito smiled again. "Arigatou, Sakura-chan. Did you make it?" he asked studying the chocolate carefully.
"Hai," Sakura answered meekly.
"Kirei desu ne…" Yukito remarked. "And it's big too! You are very talented, Sakura-chan," he complimented.
To that, Sakura's blush grew even redder. "Arigatou, Yukito-san," she paused. Pulling all her strength together, she looked up to meet him "Anou…"
Sakura's words were interrupted as Yukito asked "Are? Where's Touya?"
Shocked at Yukito's question, Sakura quickly shook her head to clear her thoughts. "Oniichan is at another part-time job," she answered.
"Sou desu! Touya certainly has a lot of part-time jobs," Yukito teased.
"Oniichan works everywhere," Sakura agreed. "Anou…"
"What is it?" Yukito asked tenderly.
"Anou…" Sakura paused. Her mouth dropped open as she had planned to admit her feelings after she gave the chocolate but for some odd reason, she could not bring herself to it. Nervousness? "Anou…" she started again.
Yukito looked down at Sakura and waited patiently. He knew Sakura was about to admit something very important to it. It was important not to rush her even though he somehow already knew what she was going to say and had was already prepared with an answer to address her confession.
"Hmmm…I hope you like the chocolate," Sakura said finally feeling somewhat odd. Once again, right before she could admit her feelings opening to Yukito, she had felt guilt.
"I'm sure I will. It looks very delicious," Yukito smiled relieved that he would not have to reject her feelings for another day.
"I'd better be on my way," Sakura said as she turned around and began walking away from Yukito's house. Turning around to bid one final farewell, Sakura called out "Sorry for bothering you," Her face was still burning red and her heart was still pounding from her encounter with him. No matter how hard she tried, she could never control herself around Yukito.
"Take care, Sakura-chan! Thanks for the chocolate! Please come by for tea another time!" Yukito called out waving back at Sakura as he watched her step away from his front garden back onto the sidewalk.
As Sakura disappeared onto the street, Yukito stepped back into the house. Looking at Sakura's chocolate, his expression softened. The girl was so innocent, but confused just the same. He hated the knowledge of having to break her heart one day. But all the same…
'I hope you find that person soon…the one you love most, Sakura-chan,' he thought to himself as he unwrapped the chocolate taking a bite out of it.
"Hmm…oishii!"
