Arigato for reading. Please enjoy!
After teasing Kero and his sister for a while, Touya decided that it was time to leave. True, one of his reasons may have been that Kero had bitten his finger, but Touya really wanted to get back to his doting wife and daughter. 'I really am happy... aren't I' he mused as he gathered his belongings, consisting mainly of a jacket and some trinkets that Sakura had decided to give to him when she discovered that there wasn't THAT much room in her apartment.
'Sakura... I really wish you were happy.' His lovable sister hadn't been truly happy in years. First, the guy she loved had dropped out of her life completely. No e-mails had been exchanged, no letters, no phone calls, nothing. The saddest thing was that he had promised to keep in touch, and Touya had believed him. The kid had annoyed the hell out of Touya at first, but when he seemed to actually care for Sakura, Touya had relented. Slightly. He had never expected the baka to hurt his happy go lucky sister so much. Hell, he hadn't thought the idiot would hurt her at all. But he had.
'Stupid Chinese gaki.' Then, Tomoyo moved a couple of years later. She had kept in touch with Sakura for a few years, but suddenly, the letters had just stopped. Completely. When Sakura sent a small note to Tomoyo, asking what was wrong, the letter was returned with a stamp indicating that Tomoyo no longer resided where she was previously thought to have lived.
The biggest change in Sakura's life had been when they moved to Hong Kong three months ago. Their father had received a job at a local university there, with a higher income, and less hours. Sakura had already been accepted at one of the universities in Hong Kong, so it was decided that she would transfer in at the beginning of the next school year. Touya, not wanting to be away from his father and sister, had packed up his own small family, and moved as well.
It was amazing really. The change in Sakura was not only visible, but you could feel it. Within the first week here, she had reverted to her normal happy-go-lucky self that she had been as a child. Albeit, it was not a complete reversal, but a noticeable and welcome one.
Touya was startled out of his reverie by the object of his thoughts; his younger sister who was waving her hand frantically in front of his face, trying to get a response. "Touya, oh Touya? Are you okay?" she said in a worried tone.
"What? Oh, yeah I'm fine brat. Just thinking, that's all." He looked at the clock and cursed. "Damnit!!! Omasu is going to kill me!" he all but ran out the door before he remembered one very important thing.
Turning around, he seized Sakura in a rushing hug, ignoring Kero, who fluttered around their heads, muttering about his mistress's lack of air. When he released her, he pressed a cell phone into her hand. "Here. Omasu wanted this to be your start of school gift. It's from both of us, and for some reason my loving wife wants me to take the bill. Just no long distance calls, ok?"
Sakura laughed lightly. "Thank you, onii-chan. Remind me to thank Omasu when I see her next time. Say hi to my niece for me, will you? And give her a hug too."
"Will do, brat. Got to run!" Then, Touya ran out of the room and headed towards the stairs.
As he walked down the various flights, he noticed a group of people going up. To be precise, there was two guys, one with chestnut hair and the other with black, and a girl with black hair and purple highlights.
For some reason, Touya felt as if he knew the chestnut haired boy and the girl. The only problem was that he didn't know from where, and how he knew them. Shrugging the feeling off, Touya continued down, hoping that somehow his sister would be truly happy here.
~*~Sakura~*~
She looked down at the cellular phone in her hands. Looking at the design, she noticed that it matched her cast. Pale pink with white cherry blossoms on it, making it look as if they were scattered by the wind.
Sakura turned the phone on and was delighted to see "We love ya Kaujii" as the opening message. 'Arigato Touya' she thought to herself, since it was obvious that the phone was his idea and that he had programmed it. A small smile danced on her lips as she read through the contacts that her brother had put in for her. 'Hmm... let's see... Touya, Omasu, Daddy, and Yukito.'
She heard laughing out in the hall, and decided that she should take some time to actually get to know the surrounding area well. By that, she meant it would be nice to go to the local Starbucks and get acquainted with a Frappachino.
Looking down at herself, Sakura could find no fault in her appearance. But, she wanted to be cautious, so she looked at the mirror.
A pink tank top complemented her natural curves, while embroidered cherry blossoms fell down the front. Faded blue jeans were clean and cut in such a way that made her look good without looking slutty. Her pink Puma's matched her outfit as well, and her Jansport backpack was slung across her shoulder haphazardly. 'Figures. Never look good when you need me to, but otherwise I guess I look ok.'
Grabbing her cell phone at the last minute, she walked out the door, only to almost run into the laughing group of people. As they passed, Sakura felt a familiar green aura surround her and envelope her in it's warmth. But, as abruptly as it had came, it left her, making her feel empty and alone. She shrugged the feeling off. 'It couldn't be him, could it?' Turning, she walked downstairs, trying to find comfort in the Starbucks across the street.
