A/N Hey guys, Danski again..okay, who thought the last chapter was good? *pokes tongue out at Rachie* I TOLD you so!!! In any case, here is another chapter and remember to review!
Chapter Five -- Big Brother, Bad news.
"Otousan," Touya began, swallowing another sip of coffee, "Isn't Sakura-chan due home from the ski excursion today?"
Kinnomoto Fujitaka inwardly winced. During the week Sakura had been away he had neatly avoided telling his eldest son that his baby sister was snowed in, trapped in a cabin until the snow blizzards halted long enough to evacuate the students.
Aware of his son's protectiveness of his little Sakura, Fujitaka had been dreading informing his son that Sakura was in fact not coming home for another week or so.
Setting his piece of buttered toast aside for the moment, he took a deep breath,
At that moment, the door burst open. Both men glanced to the entrance hall of the house.
"Good morning Touya-kun! Kinnomoto-san!" Tsukishiiro Yukito's pale face beamed with a large smile from the doorway.
Touya set his newspaper aside and went to greet this friend. 'Thank heaven for small miracles' Fujitaka thought with a sigh.
'I wonder how Sakura is doing...' And with that last thought, (and draining his glass of orange juice) Kinnomoto Fujitaka left for work, pausing in the hall to greet Yukito.
Sometime around lunch, Touya had left Yukito at the Ice-cream parlour to wait at the Elementary school for Sakura's bus to arrive. He intended to wait there until Sakura was off the bus and (unconsciously clenching a fist) away from the Li boy.
Sometime around mid-afternoon, Touya's patience with waiting was wearing thin. Yukito had come to find him dazedly watching a Cherry blossom tree in a neighbouring yard, watching the pretty flowers fall gently on the cool breeze, boredly.
Sometime around late afternoon, Touya began fiddling with anything around him in nervousness. Surely the bus would have arrived by this time? a quick glance at the watch was all that was needed to send his heart flying into his throat. It was 6:45pm. Jumping up, Touya gestured to his friend.
"You wait here, and see if the bus comes. I'm going home to see Otousan."
Touya leaped onto his bicycle, and pedalled home at breakneck speed, skidding to a halt in front of his house, ditching the bike and flipping his shoes off just inside to door.
Kinnomoto Fujitaka was calmly typing on his laptop when his panicked son came flying into the room, panting with the effort of cycling the whole way from the school at high speeds.
"O-Otousan" Touya gasped between breaths, "S-Sakura-chan's bus..it has not arrived yet.."
Fujitaka frowned before sitting his son down, and telling him the whole story, from the phone call from the Sensei, to when he was told Sakura would possibly be home.
Touya was in fact, taking it surprisingly well.
"Oh, okay. So another week or so, and she'll be home."
"Touya there's just one other," he paused, "Small thing."
Looking up, Touya noticed at once that his usually calm father was avoiding his eye.
"And that would be..."
"The sensei thought it wise to house all the students into the same dormitory, I understand that Syaoran Li is not one of your most favourite people..."
Touya's rational band of thought broke. "SHE'S WHAT?"
Fujitaka continued talking over his son, "But I'm quite sure that he wouldn't let anything happen to our Sakura-chan.." Bracing himself for the fury that Touya was sure to unleash, Fujitaka slowly looked up from his laptop screen...
But Touya was gone.
