Syaoran:  HEY!

SL:  Anyways, on with the story…!

Chapter 5

"But you just said you can't move your ankle!  You can't walk on it, or you'll just hurt yourself more!" Meilin said as she looked at Sakura's foot.

"I'll be fine." Sakura said as she carefully stood up with Meilin's support.  She looked up at Syaoran and took a deep breath. "Yea, it's fine." Sakura whispered and slowly limped down the field.

"No offence, but you won't be much help like that."

"I just need to walk it off!" Sakura said looking at her friend as she continued to walk.

"Okay…"

Sure enough Sakura was back to her usual self and the game was tied 15-15…next goal win.  They had five minutes left before they had to go and change for next period.

"Okay…we're so dead!" Sakura said as she stood with the ball at her net and slowly walked towards the half line with the ball.  The other team couldn't go after her until her team crossed half. 

Immediately Sakura saw Meilin and two other of her team members cross over the line.  Sakura smirked at Joyce who stood in front of her.  Sakura faked going right and kicked the ball left, ran after it and kicked it into the air.

It landed in front of Meilin who gave Sakura a thumbs up sign and kicked it towards Tammi, another team member and kicked it down the court and into the goal.

"WE DID IT!" Sakura screamed as Meilin, Tammi, and the rest of her team ran up to Sakura cheering.  Joyce growled as April sweatdropped and walked slowly away from her.  The teacher blew her whistle signalling the girls to go in.  Sakura slowly walked to the change room with Meilin and Tammi chatting happily about the game.  Joyce walked ahead fuming thinking quickly.

Sakura quickly got a shower and dried her hair and changed. 

"Saki.  This isn't over yet." Joyce said stalking over to Sakura.

"I won, fair and square.  So YOU have to stay away from Syaoran, like you promised." Sakura said.

"We'll just see about that." Joyce said before she walked away.

"What was that all about?"

"Joyce went back on her promise." Sakura said as her eyes lowered.  She grabbed her backpack and walked silently out of the classroom.  Syaoran was waiting by the exit, leaning against the wall before he noticed Sakura walk out.

"Saki.  Wait up." Syaoran called after her running after her. He sighed.  "That brother of yours is so damn annoying.  I don't know how you ever lived with him." Syaoran growled.  "What's wrong?"

"Joyce is being a pest again.  That's all." Sakura said dropping in her seat for math.

"Just ignore her.  I'll be right back." Syaoran said dropping his backpack.  Sakura glanced at her watch.  She had five minutes before the bell rang.  She ran out of the class to the washroom.  On the way back she noticed Syaoran talking to Joyce.  Sakura's eye twitched as she walked in.

"Hey, Saki.  What's wrong?  Your eye, is like...twitching...a lot." Meilin said watching Sakura as she sat in her seat.

"Joyce talking Syaoran.  She so dead." Sakura got out as she clenched her fists.

"Umm…it would help if you…TELL…HIM!  Then he would be yours!" Meilin smiled.  Sakura shrugged it off as the bell rung and Syaoran stalked in. 

"Good Morning class!  I hope you all did your break homework, because we're starting off fresh with a pop quiz!" the sensei said with a bright smile on her face.  Groans were heard throughout the classroom as the teacher passed out the papers.

~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~

"I failed it!  And she assigned me to tutoring!  At least I have a good tutor BUT I hate that teacher!  And she said my work was done all wrong and she gave it back to me! So, I have to do that pop quiz AGAIN for homework, my break homework, tutor homework, today's homework and all my other homework! It's not fair!" Sakura wailed as she trudged into her apartment with Syaoran close behind her. He smiled softly at her.  She was so cute when she was like this.  Whoa…calm down Syaoran.  Get A grip!  She may not even like you so you shouldn't get your hopes up.

"Well, we can get started now then.  Don't worry, I'll help you.  It'll pass quickly." Syaoran said. 

Hours, cookies, drinks, washroom breaks, walks, more cookies, and cakes later, Sakura and Syaoran had finally completed all their homework.  Syaoran excused himself for a quick washroom break and came back to find Sakura asleep on top of her homework.  She had finished her History homework last, although she hadn't closed it yet.  She had her arms folded and her head resting on top of the book.  Pencils, pens, calculators, rulers, protractors and empty glasses and plates scattered the table.  Syaoran smiled and not wanting to wake her carried her to her bedroom and tucked her in. 

"Good night my Cherry Blossom." Syaoran whispered kissing her forehead.  He went back to the kitchen as he stretched and yawned before gathering up the books and dishes cleaning up.  Picking up Sakura's stuff he dropped it off on her desk, noticing Kero asleep with a tray of dishes, before filled with treats.  So that's where a lot of the junk food goes! Syaoran chuckled to himself before returning to his own room and going to sleep. 

~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~

"Syaoran!" Sakura squealed as she bounded into his room, flipping on the light switch and jumping onto his bed.  He looked up at the emerald-eyed girl and groaned.

"Five more minutes!" he complained taking the pillow and burying his head under it.

"Oh silly, get up or we'll be late!  Besides, today I'm making a fresh start!" Sakura said cheerfully.  He looked up and noticed that she had washed out the dye and it was back to auburn, except left it long and pulled it into a ponytail. She had on a white cotton sweater and jeans, and the locket Syaoran had given her. Beautiful as ever, Syaoran thought.

"What do you mean fresh start?" Syaoran said as he dragged himself out of the bed and towards his closet.

"By a fresh start, I mean I went to the school earlier and told them my real name and they changed it for me.  Saki Mei is officially gone!  And I'm going to tell Touya it's me."

"One problem.  Natalie." Syaoran said as he grabbed some clothes.

"Psh…I have that planned.  I still have bruises.  And some other evidence.  I'll ask Touya if we can go back to Japan for a weekend and then get Natalie in jail or away from the house.  Once that's taken care of and I'm finished college I'm going to move back to Japan.  I miss home." Sakura said as her bright smile wore away and she walked out for him to change.  She left him shocked and dumbfounded.

She can't leave. I love her too much.  I need her.  I want her.  My Cherry Blossom. Syaoran shook the thoughts away.  He'd deal with it later.  He pulled on a forest green t-shirt and pulled on his jeans and jean jacket, grabbed his backpack and ran out.  Sakura had made breakfast and was eating her waffles quickly.  He did the same as the two dashed out the door.

~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~

Sakura had all eyes as she walked into the classroom with Syaoran.

"Who are you?" Joyce said walking up to Sakura.

"I'm Sakura Kinimoto.  Formerly known as Saki Mei." Sakura said loud enough for the rest of the class to hear.

So she's the infamous Sakura Kinimoto.  The one that ran away from home.  Hmm, this is going to be good! Joyce thought as she took her seat. 

Sakura went to her seat, Syaoran doing the same.  A bubbly Meilin bounced in and stopped as she noticed Sakura.

"Sakura!  You changed back!" Meilin squealed as she ran over and gave her friend a tight hug. 

"Yea, but I'm really nervous of what Touya might think." Sakura said fidgeting in her seat.

"Awww!  He'll be delighted to see you!" Meilin said as she sat down.

"Hopefully." Sakura said.  "But the butterflies in my stomach aren't helping."  At that Touya walked in slowly and pulled out the piece of paper with the roll call and called out the names looking up at each person.

"Kinimoto…wha?"  Touya looked down the sheet looking for Mei, Saki.  It was gone.  He looked up to see Sakura smile nervously and give a little wave.  Touya dropped the piece of paper, ran over to his little sister and picked her up swinging her in circles and hugged her.

"I'd thought I'd lost you for good!" Touya said as he rested his hands on her shoulders. Sakura smiled weakly.  'Tomoyo-I'm gonna kill you for this.'

"We'll talk after school.  What's your last class."

"Math." Sakura managed to squeak out.

"I'll meet you by your class." Touya said smiling happily as he walked back to his desk and finished the roll call.

Sakura's stomach churned.  This was what she wanted, wasn't it?

~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~
"KINIMOTO!  You may have had a name change, but please pay attention!  No go up to the board and solve the question!" the teacher ordered.  Syaoran gave her a sympathetic glance as Sakura stood up and walked to the board.  She sighed.  This was a lot better then having to face her brother.

Once she was done, she trudged back to her desk just as the bell rang.

"Now, Kinimoto! Li!" Sakura and Syaoran ran up to the desk.

"Here's all of Kinimoto's homework.  Ensure it gets done, and done well!" she said handing Syaoran the pile of papers.  Sakura sweatdropped as she nodded at the teacher.

"I'll take these home…and get my other homework done while you talk to your brother, okay." Syaoran said.  Sakura nodded glumly as she headed for the door.  "You'll be okay.  I know everything will be just fine." Syaoran said walking ahead of her and out the door to get past Touya quickly.

Sakura put on a cheerful, fake smile as Touya invited her to a pizza.

~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~

Syaoran's mind drifted to Sakura as he tried hard to finish the last of his homework.  She couldn't leave.  Not just like that.  He'd have to tell her, like Meilin had said so, but it wasn't that easy.  But what about when he kissed her.  The day she revealed herself.  He sighed frustrated as he slammed his books closed and finished.  He was just happy to see her, that's all.  Or did he mean that.  Sakura hadn't pulled back, but maybe she was just pulled into the moment.  Maybe he didn't like him and that's why she was going back to Japan.  She didn't have anything here anyways.

He heard the front door slam…hard and then a crash and a small oops before Sakura stomped into the kitchen and towards the couch where she dropped onto it and hugged her knees.

"I take it, it didn't go very well." Syaoran said checking to see what she had broken.  A vase.  Replaceable. 

"Touya wants me to move in with him and next weekend, Easter weekend, he wants me to go with him to Japan to deal with Natalie. But I don't want to.  I want to stay here to live, and I don't want to go during Easter…and…it's not fair!" Sakura wailed into her knees as she hugged herself tighter.

Syaoran kneeled down in front of her and pulled her into his lap on the floor.  "Sakura.  Your not going to leave this apartment.  I promise you that I'll help you stay here, no matter what.  And how about I go back with you for the weekend.  That way both you and I can spend some time together and see Tomoyo and Eriol." Syaoran said as he stroked her hair.

"Really?" Sakura sniffed.  "You…You'd do that for me?"

Syaoran smiled, one of his to die for, rare smiles and nodded.  Sakura, overjoyed, threw her arms around Syaoran in a tight hug.

"Thank you so much, Syaoran!  I guess I have to do my homework now and your probably long done!" Sakura said rolling her eyes.

"I'll help you.  I'm your tutor, remember?" Syaoran said.

"Hai!  I'm going to start making some cookies and when I put them in the oven we can start!  Can you get my backpack from my room?" Sakura said handing him a bag of chips and a bag of cookies. "For Kero."

Syaoran rolled his eyes taking the two bags and entered Sakura's room. Kero was playing video games.

"Hey stuffed animal, what you playing?"  Syaoran said dropping on Sakura's bed beside Kero who stared intently at the television.

"Xylon Warriors!  I'm almost at the next level!" Kero said as he furiously pounded the keys with his tiny paws.  "And don't call me that!  Or I'll bite your finger the next time I see you!"

"Yeah.  Umm…Sakura's kinda in a sad state, so be extra nice to her, when she comes in later on." Syaoran said.

"Listen kid. I know you like her and all.  Just take care of her." Kero said as he saved the game.

"I love her.  I haven't told her yet.  But I will.  Just be nice to her.  Touya's here and he wants her to move in at his place for the remaining school year AND go back to Japan for her remaining University years."

"Grrrrrr…Less snacks for me!" Kero said crying big anime tears.

"Speaking of.  Here, Sakura got you some snacks.  We gotta start on her homework."

"YAY!  Thank you!" Kero said diving at the bags.  Syaoran nodded and walked out of the room.  Whoa…we just had a conversation and didn't even fight!  Maybe it won't be that bad after all. Syaoran thought with a smile.

"Hey Syaoran!  Me all done!  So we can start my homework!" Sakura said taking her backpack from Syaoran.  Syaoran laughed as he wiped some flour of Sakura's cheek. Sakura blushed and took out her books spreading them out.

Half an hour later the two were done and relived.  Sakura smiled happily and took out her ready-made cookies.  Sakura poured herself a glass of milk as she took the tray load of cookies over to the couch and placed the snack on the table and flipped through the movies.

"Yeah, she can't share the cookies with me after I help her with her homework." Syaoran smirked getting himself a glass of milk and plopping on the couch. 

"I'm sharing them with you!  I just brought them over and choosing a movie!" Sakura said still looking at the stack of movie cases.

"On a school night?"

"Yeah, so?  I'd get up late anyways!" Sakura said giggling as she grabbed a case.

"What movie?"

"A Walk to Remember!" Sakura exclaimed as she popped it into the DVD player.

"Uhg.  Girly movie!" Syaoran said taking a cookie and stuffing it into his mouth.  Sakura giggled as she sat down on the couch.

~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~

Sakura sighed happily.  "Such a good movie!"  By the end of the movie Syaoran was sitting on the couch, one leg on and the other off and Sakura resting her head on his chest.  If Meilin were to walk in, she'd be sure something was up.  Okay, I tell her now.  I have to get this over with.

"Sakura?"

"Mmmm hmm?" Sakura mumbled as she turned off the TV with the remote.

"Ashiteru."  Sakura froze as she dropped off the couch with a small 'oof' and 'ouch'.

Syaoran sweatdropped.  What if she doesn't feel the same way.  Idiot Syaoran. Baka Baka Baka! Syaoran's thoughts were interrupted when he was pulled off the couch and felt a something brush against his lips. 

Syaoran looked at Sakura who was now on top of him.  She smiled.

"I love you too Syaoran."  He smiled as he cupped her face and brushed his lips against hers, tasting the chocolate chip cookies she had eaten earlier. His mind goes fuzzy concentrating on the kiss.  His hands found their way around her waist pulling her closer and her arms around his neck deepening the kiss and pressing his lips harder against hers.  Reluctantly he released the kiss.  She giggled and hugged him.

"I'm so glad that I finally told you.  Joyce was planning to get rid of me to get to you.  I wouldn't know what to do if I hadn't of told you then!" Sakura said as she loosened her grip.

"I would've blown her off, find you and tell you the truth!" Syaoran smiled.  Sakura smiled as he pulled her back up on the couch.  They stayed like that for the rest of the night.  Sakura in Syaoran's lap, her face buried in his chest.  Her arms around his neck and his around her slim waist, unable to let go.

~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~

"HOEEEEEEEEE!!!!!  We're late Syaoran!" Sakura said as she jumped up.

"Ahhh…I think I'm deaf." Syaoran mumbled as he stood covered his ears.  Sakura ran furiously around the small apartment getting ready.  Syaoran chuckled and changed into jeans and a blue sweater and grabbed his backpack.  Sakura stood waiting at the door.  "We can get some breakfast on the way to school." Syaoran said with a smile as he fixed her messy hair.  Obviously done quickly.  She nodded and grabbed her keys and headed out the door.

Stopping by a little coffee shop Syaoran bought himself and Sakura a muffin, a cookie and juice each as they ate it on the way.

Entering the classroom, holding hands Touya sat at his desk, earlier then usual.

"Touya." Sakura said still holding tightly onto Syaoran's hand.

"Hey Sakura!" Touya said looking up and smiled at her.

"Touya.  I don't want to move in with you.  I want to stay with Syaoran." Sakura said pressing her lips in a firm line.

"Sakura.  I've missed you so much over the passed years and I really don't want you living with the Chinese gaki." Touya said frowning at Syaoran.  Syaoran glared back at him as he held Sakura protectively.

"Look Touya.  I'm old enough to make my OWN decisions.  We can get together sometime or whatever.  Your still my onii-chan but I really want to live with Syaoran.  I love him."

"Sakura…"

"And we can go to Japan this weekend.  But Syaoran's coming with us. I don't care what you think, because I love him.  Even if you don't understand that!" Sakura said.

"Sakura…" Touya's voice trailed off as the bell rang.

Sakura turned and sat down at her desk.  Syaoran gazed over at Touya and back to Sakura.  He actually felt sorry for Touya.  He looked pretty hurt as Sakura had yelled at him.  Sibling rivalry. Bah.

~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~

Sakura hummed to herself as she collected her Math homework from the teacher.  She had felt kind of bad for Touya since she had yelled at him that morning.  He'd been really quiet in class to.  He had basically collected their homework, and gave them seatwork to do.  Sakura waited for Syaoran who talked to the teacher before taking her hand and walking out of the classroom.

"Syaoran, was I to harsh with Touya?"

"As much as I hate the guy, you were." Syaoran said as she unlocked the apartment door.

"Still.   It was the only way to get the message through." Sakura said kicking off her shoes and walking into the kitchen and dropping her bag on the chair.  Syaoran shrugged dropping his bag beside hers and the pizza they had picked up along the way home.

"I don't know.  I just hope he doesn't kill me!" Sakura said with a knock at the door.  Sakura opened the door to reveal Meilin and Touya.

"Hey Meilin!"  Sakura said happily.  "Hey Touya."

"Hey Sakura! Can I do my homework here?  The house is a little crazy today." Meilin said.

"Sure come on in." Sakura said allowing her friend in before turning to Touya.

"Sakura.  I know you really love Syaoran.  I hate the kid but I have to admit it.  I go back to the States in June for graduation.  And then I'm going to go back to Toemedo myself and get the house back.  I don't know why'd you stay here after June because you don't have anything else to do or money to stay.  I still want to go during Easter and maybe get the house back then instead of June.  Yeah, the kid can come too.  Anyways, see you later Sakura." Touya said getting in the elevator without a backward glance.

"It's fine."  Syaoran said wrapping his arms around Sakura's waist and turned her around kicking the door closed.

"No.  Touya's hurt.  I hurt him." 

"Yes, you did.  But he agreed with what you wanted.  And in the process you hurt him, not what you wanted."

"Sakura!  Syaoran!"

"Come on.  Let's get this homework over with." Sakura said sitting down at the table and getting a slice of pizza from the box. 

~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~

The Friday that they university had off came quicker then Sakura had opted as she pulled out her smaller suitcase.  She and Syaoran were leaving that night and coming back on Monday. 

"Kero!  You have snacks for the trip, right?" Sakura said as she stuffed some clothes into the suitcase.

"Yea, I put them in the kitchen."

Sakura grunted as she quickly got some pudding, chips, cookies and other various snacks for Kero and putting them into 'Kero's' bag.  As she put the last of her stuff in her bag Syaoran appeared at her door leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed, a smile playing at his lips.

"What's so funny?" Sakura asked stopping her chore of packing.

"Nothing.  Your just so beautiful, that's all."

"Such a sweet talker." Sakura smiled, zipping up the suitcase and bringing them in the hall.  "Touya should be here any…" The rapping at the door came and Sakura giggled.   "Minute!" Sakura swung the door open to reveal Touya.

"Let's go." Touya said as he took Sakura's bags, refusing to take the 'Chinese Gaki's' bags. 

As the arrived to the airport and onto the plane, Sakura had felt the twinge of fear sitting down on the plush plane seat.  She had taken the window seat, and after much glaring and convincing, Syaoran had gotten next to her, Touya by the aisle. 

Sakura had long before fallen asleep as the plane soft purr moved the plane toward Japan.

"Ga—Syaoran?"  Touya said cautiously.

"Yeah?" Syaoran said tearing his gaze away from Sakura.

"Please take care of her.  I don't want her to get hurt." 

Syaoran nodded and turned his gaze back to the sleeping Sakura.

~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~

"I feel Sakura's aura." Eriol said dropping his book.

"What do you mean?" Tomoyo asked as she looked up from the TV.

"I mean that she's on her way here.  And so is Syaoran." Eriol said standing up.

"On a plane?"


"Yeah.  Awww…my cute little descendant should've called me.  Let's surprise him and pick them up from the airport." Eriol said leaving the living room.

"Wait!  I need to get my camcorder!" Tomoyo said running towards her room.

~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~

"Yes, I know where she is." A female voice said over the phone.

"Are youuu—you…positivveee…its hurr." The voice on the other end said in a slurred voice.

"Yeah, and her brother to.  They are both headed towards Japan now."

"Thankssss kid." The drunken lady said hanging up.  The girl on the other end grumbled and hung up.

"Good Luck Saki Mei!"

~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~

Syaoran carefully lifted Sakura off her seat, careful not to disturb her and grabbed her carry on bag swinging it over his shoulder.  Touya waited at the bottom and continued down the hall with him slowly following behind him.

Tomoyo, her camera and Eriol stood waiting close to the entrance.

"THEY"RE HERE ERIOL!" Tomoyo squealed jumping up and down and immediately turned her camera on and pointed it at Touya.

"Uhh…nice welcoming committee!  Didn't really expect one."  Touya said sweat dropping.

"Uhh…we just...sensed it…that's all..  We kind of felt as if you were coming." Eriol said with a grin.

Tomoyo giggled and then pointed the video camera at Syaoran and the sleeping Sakura in his arms.  "AWW!  KAWAII!" Tomoyo squealed zooming in.

"Uhg!  Turn that thing off!" Syaoran said shoving a hand in front of the camera.

"Wha…are we there yet?" Sakura yawned and rubbed her eyes.  She stretched and looked around.  "Tomoyo?  Eriol?  We didn't tell you we were coming though!"

"I sensed it." Eriol said with a cheshire grin.  Sakura giggled.

"Come on.  I'll grab our bags and then you guys can drop me off at Natalie's house.  Sakura your NOT going to come.  Understand that?" Touya said heading for the baggage.

"Jeez.  He sounds as if he's my father or something." Sakura said crossing her arms and getting down from Syaoran's arms. 

~~***~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~

Touya stepped away from the limo, as it pulled away and stared up at the big yellow house he once called home.  He climbed the steps decided whether to ring the doorbell or just walk in.  He carefully reached for the doorknob and opened it and stepped in.  Nothing had changed…except it was pretty messy.

"Who's there!" a female voice screamed as she entered the hall.  Touya held back a groan.  She was drunk…again.  A smirk played on her face as she advanced towards Touya.   "So look who finallllly came crawlin backs!" Natalie said.

"Yeah.  I came back.  To take what's rightfully mine.  This house." Touya said as he stood his ground firmly.

"Really?  And is it not mine too?  I married your father.  It's mine too, we never divorced." Natalie said as she stopped the slurring.

"True.  But I have enough to throw you in jail."

"Yeah.  Sure.  Saakli or Sakurna or whatever the brat's name is, is probably dead.  I had the best looking for her.  What else do you have against me!"

"Oh your wrong.  She's alive and well.  She's pretty good at hiding when she needs to." Touya said.  "Just wait. You walked down the wrong path."

"You little brat!" Natalie said.  She had a beer bottle in her hand and she was headed right for him.  He quickly ducked out the front door and slammed the door just as it hit the door.  Touya kept running.  And never stopped until he reached Toemedo police.

He calmed his nerves before he walked in.  He was ushered into an office where he spilled out the entire story.

"Do you have any evidence, son?" the officer said.

"You could ask her.  She's drunk enough right now.  And my sister still has some really bad bruises.  And she has a record of being in the hospital because Natalie hurt her that bad."

"That's pretty weak evidence."

"Look!  I need my father's house back.  My sister and I are almost finished university.  Please!"

"Okay, I'll file a report and I'll get a squad car and go to your house and talk to her.  But I can't guarantee anything."

Touya nodded as the man grabbed a few papers and led him out to the car.  10 minutes later they reached the Kinimoto house.  The man got out of the car with a folder and flicked through the pages searching for the right one and glanced at a few pictures before he joined a impatient Touya at the door.  Touya slowly opened the door and glanced in.  Natalie was on the couch watching television. 

"This is your step-mother, Touya?" the officer said.

"Yeah."

"What's going on!" Natalie said furiously glaring at her son.

"This is the same women who was charged with murder." The officer said glancing at the paper and picture in his folder, then back at Natalie.

"What do you mean?" Touya said trying to look into the folder.

"Remember when your father died.  We didn't tell you that food poising killed your father.  It was upsetting enough and didn't want your little sister to get involved or you get involved-with finding who did it.  She." The officer said motioning towards Natalie. "Was our main suspect."

"So what if I did.  That man was nothing but a waste of human life.  I married for the money.  I didn't expect to get two brats in return!"

"She just confessed." Touya whispered…his face shocked.

"She did." The officer said, his hands flying to his belt and grabbing handcuffs.

"Thanks son.  Your father would be very happy to have this girl locked up after she put you through everything.  We still need you and your sister to come down to the station.  But I'm sure she'll be put away for quite a few years."

"When should I come down?"

"Tommorow would be best.  I have to type up a report and all." The officer said before leaving Touya alone.  Touya took a deep breath and exhaled, running his hands through his hair.

"I guess I'll clean up a little."

SL:  Hey!  That chapter is finished!  The next chapter will be out on September 13!  Okie!  Bye bye!
