*author-zaki's notes* konichiwa everyone! Sorry I haven't been able to update any stories  because that jakuu SQUIRREL is holding my lap top hostage until I agree to let him host his own fic so I'm writing this off one of my PC's in my friends basement and- wait, the rodent hasn't thrown any nuts at me yet, YAYYYY- OOOWWWW! (Author-zaki gets up with a big lump on his head) Okay, no nuts but he did throw a lap top!

The Days Before

CHAPTER 2: TOUYA

Disclaimer: I do not own ccs or any of its characters, too bad…

            It is a lonely night tonight the house feels so empty without my kaa-son she died just two days ago, but it feels like a life time. Tou-son is very quiet now, and Sakura-chan cries more now. I was hoping she would make it a few more days, since tomorrow is my birthday and- I miss her so much! Thought Touya as he lied in his bed wish that what had happened in the past few days was merely a dream.   

"I wish my kaa-son," muttered Touya as he cried himself to sleep. He knew she was gone but couldn't accept it. Tomorrow is his tenth birthday and she had promised him she would be there, a promise she could not keep.

He woke up that night…

"Huh, what time is it?" said Touya turning around to see his clock blinking 2:37 AM. He turned around thinking nothing of it when suddenly his windows burst open and a bone chilling wind ripped through his room.

"Oh no! What's happening?" said Touya as he hid under his covers hoping that this was just a nightmare and hoped it would go away, but this was no nightmare this was reality. Suddenly a force surrounded him and encircled him as he felt the presence of something. The presence flowed through every bone in his body. He looked out into his room and realized that someone was in there with him, someone he had known and loved so much.

"Okaa-son?" whimpered Touya, and in an instant the wind stoped and there was peace as the clouds cleared and a beam of moon light lit his room. From this moon light appeared a beautiful woman, the woman was none other than his kaa-son. Touya had never seen a ghost before and was speechless as his mother handed him a gift in red wrapping paper she set it on his night stand and kissed him and Touya fell back asleep again.

The next mornig was like any other Touya got up brushed his teeth, got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast. He was met by Sakura and her present an unwrapped flower she had pulled out of the garden, and his dad rolled his big gift in- a new bike, just what he asked for. After breakfast he was about to head out of the house when he heard Sakura shout out,

"Owni-chan, you fowgot your hawt"

 Touya rushed back up to his room and got his hat. When he went to go out his door he saw that his clock was blinking 2:37 AM. He decided to reset it wjen he noted a gift, in red wrapping paper. As he opened it he saw a photo in a frame of his family that had a note attached that read "with love kaa-son."

Touya smiled and said, "she kept her promise"
