A CCS Fanfic By Card Captor Schlueter (a.k.a. Syaoran-kun)
Memo From The Legal Dept.
We don't own this stuff and we don't care because we have disclaimers. Try to sue us and we'll shred you into coleslaw, got it?
Interlude: Fujitaka
Fujitaka Kinomoto had grown used to listening to his children argue. He knew full well that siblings don't always get along.
But frankly, he was getting sick of listening to the same subject argued over, day after day, week after week.
The subject was Syaoran Li.
To be honest, Fujitaka had to confess he knew next to nothing about the boy but he did hear a lot about him. Unfortunately, the information came from Touya and Sakura who were completely biased. Any opinions form them had to be taken with enough grains of salt to sink a commercial freighter. Touya made him sound like the source of all evil and Sakura made him sound like a cuddly teddy bear. Worse still, they both kept expecting him to choose sides in this argument.
This was not only a problem, it was a downright annoying problem.
It was hard to be an impartial judge for a person you've never met. Okay. So maybe that wasn't entirely true. But the amount of time Syaoran Li and Fujitaka Kinomoto had been in the same room could be measured in minutes and the number would probably be a single digit. This struck him as odd at first since he knew most of Sakura's friends. On the other hand, Touya kept threatening to kill him so that might account for the lack of Syaoran around the Kinomoto household.
Frankly, the whole thing was giving him a headache. Touya wouldn't shut up on most occasions. He had ranted for hours on New Year's Day and seemed to spend at least an hour on the topic every day since. Fujitaka had suggested that maybe he should actually meet Syaoran before passing judgment on him. Touya had reacted in the same cool calm fashion that Larry uses when Curly and Moe poke him in the eyes. You'd think that Fujitaka had suggested wallpapering the house with asbestos. He was starting to understand why Syaoran stayed away from their house. With the way Touya was acting he wasn't sure that he wanted to be a round the house.
But, Touya did have his reasons. He claimed Syaoran was a bad influence the way American parents blame television. His prime example was a few months back when Sakura had punched, kicked and hurled a baton at her brother. Fujitaka was forced to admit that she had acted kind of strange those couple of days. On the other hand, Touya was relentless in his pursuit to annoy Sakura, so maybe he had it coming.
Fujitaka shook his head and realized he was involved in a pointless endeavor. Trying to make sense of all of this was going to drive him insane. He looked over at the picture of Nadesico in its usual space on the shelf.
"I don't suppose you have any ideas on how to handle this, hm?" he asked.
