Yuki shoveled more food into his mouth. He was always hungry, but he had a bad feeling that wasn't going away, and bad feelings always made him hungry. Touya was staring off into space next to him. Yuki noticed that Touya hadn't even touched his inari.
"To-ya? Daiijoubu?" Yuki asked, concerned.
"Eh? Oh, hai, iiyo." Touya replied casually. Yuki frowned. He didn't believe his friend for a second. Yuki stopped eating, and put down his bento box. HE turned to Touya with an accusing glance.
"To-ya, you are a rotten liar."
Touya laughed.
"Hai, hai, I know." He chuckled.
"Well?" Yuki questioned impatiently. "Are you going to tell me what's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong, Yuki. I was just thinking." Touya didn't elaborate.
"Thinking about what?" Yuki prodded.
"Sakura-chan. When she told the story about that teacher, the pregnant one. I think…she was lying. And I can't figure out why she would lie about something like that."
"And you're worried about what really happened?" Yuki said gravely.
"Yeah. I mean, what would have brought that on? Did somebody make a pass at her? Was some jerk saying things-"
"To-ya, calm down. I'm sure it was nothing like that. Maybe it just occurred to her." Yuki touched Touya's sleeve in a comforting gesture.
"You're probably right. I can't help but worry though." Touya said softly.
"To-ya… have you ever heard of a sister-complex?"
"Shut up, Yuki."
****************************
"Ne, Sakura-chan!"
Sakura turned to the voice calling her.
"Tomoyo-chan! Ohaiyo!" Sakura waved happily at her best friend. Tomoyo skipped over, smiling.
"Sakura-chan, you have to tell me what your brother and Tsukishiro-san said." Tomoyo demanded. Sakura blushed.
"Hooooee. It was so embarrassing…" Sakura muttered. "Yukito-san was so nice about it though, Onii-chan was having trouble telling me –anything-. Yukito-san was the one who eventually told me." Sakura admitted. Tomoyo nodded.
"Okaasan wouldn't tell me either. She gave me that book, 'Where Do Babies Come From?'. Remember, I showed it to you."
Sakura nodded. "Hai, I remember. Demo, Yukito-san described it so strangely! He said something about 'baby machines' and kissing a lot. It was confusing!" Sakura protested.
Tomoyo giggled.
"Ne, Tomoyo-chan?"
"Hai, Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo answered.
"How do two men do it?" Sakura asked innocently. Tomoyo blanked.
"Gomen, Sakura-chan, I don't know. All I know is, two men can't have a baby." She informed Sakura solemnly.
"I guess I'll ask Onii-chan…."
*****************************
"Tadaima!"
"Okaeri, kaijuu!" Touya called back to his sister.
"I am NOT a monster!" Sakura snapped back at him. "Konnichiiwa, Yukito-san!"
"Konnichiwa, Sakura-chan.' Yuki waved jovially.
"Ne, kaijuu, I have a question for you." Touya said, pulling out a chair and sitting down.
"I am NOT a monster. What question? And I have one for you too." Sakura said, also sitting down.
"What really made you ask about… babies?" Touya asked, blushing.
Sakura blinked.
"I just thought of it. Actually, I asked Tomoyo-chan. She told me, and showed me a book her mom got her. I wanted to know if you'd give me the same answer, so I asked you too." Sakura confessed, looking guilty. "Oh, and Tomoyo-chan's explanation was waaaay better." She scolded.
Now it was Touya's turn to blink. Yuki just held his hand over his mouth, struggling not to giggle.
"Soka." Touya said simply. "So, what did you want to ask?"
Touya was completely unprepared for her next question.
"How do two boys have sex?"
Touya fell out of his chair. Yuki stopped giggling abruptly. He sat down looking shaky and pale. He held his hand to his heart. Touya pulled himself back into his chair, his once tan face now as white as Yuki's hair. He thought fast.
'I can't tell her the truth, she's ten! So what DO I tell her? Why, WHY does Dad have to be out of town this week?'
"I already asked Tomoyo-chan, but she didn't know." Sakura continued, seemingly unaware of her companions plight.
Touya looked at Yuki, hoping for some assistance. Instead, he got another shock to his system. Yuki looked about to faint. Snatching at the chance to change the subject, he leapt to Yuki's side.
"Yuki? Daijoubu?"
Sakura turned to Yukito, and gasped. He was white as a ghost!
"Yukito-san!" She cried. Yukito flapped a hand at her wearily.
"Iiyo, I'm fine, really." He gasped.
Touya put a hand to Yuki's forehead. "You don't have a fever…"
"I'm alright To-ya, really." Yukito pulled Touya's hand away.
"No you're not, stop pretending. I can't have my snow bunny sick, can I?" Touya commented casually. However, Yuki choked.
"Ah! Yuki, what's wrong?" Touya yelped. Yuki glanced up at Sakura. She was eerily quiet.
"Snow bunny?" she asked softly.
Touya's eyes grew wide. He silently cursed himself for his slip. He was usually so good about hiding it! But before he could try and save the situation, Sakura went on.
"Kawaii! That's the perfect pet name for Yukito-san!" she beamed. Touya looked at Yuki, unsure if Sakura had made the connection. Yuki took his cue.
"Ano, Sakura-chan, it's… kinda more than that…" he said gently.
Sakura blinked.
"Hooe? Demo, don't boyfriends always give each other nicknames? Yours for Nii-chan in 'To-ya', right?"
Yuki blinked, then smiled.
"Hai, it is." He grinned. Sakura smiled too. Touya just stared.
"You knew?" he said with disbelief etched on his face.
"Knew what?" she responded.
"You knew about me and Yuki." He repeated.
"Baka Nii-chan, everyone knows. You didn't think you were hiding it, did you?" Sakura chided. Yukito laughed.
"I told you not to underestimate her, To-ya!"
"Shut up, Yuki."
"Demo, Nii-chan," Sakura chirped, "You didn't answer my question."
Touya paled again. Yukito decided to take matters into his own hands once again.
"Sakura-chan, gomen, demo I don't think we can tell you just yet. As grown-up as you are, there are even some adults who don't know. How about you ask again in another 5 years. Then we'll tell you, if you still want to know. OK?"
"Hontou?" she asked.
"Hai, hontou desu." Yuki smiled gently.
"Well, ok." She stood up. "I have to do my homework. Matta ne!" Sakura skipped out of the room.
"How do you do it?!" Touya squeaked at Yuki. Yukito smiled mysteriously, and replied.
"Motherly instinct, To-ya."
Touya sweatdropped. Then he remembered that he'd have to do this again in five years.
The future was not looking too bright. ;)

A/N: Yes, I decided to do another chapter. Why? Because some people thought that Tomoyo and Sakura had… um… *cough* WHICH THEY DIDN'T! I had to clear up a few things. Plus, who can resist writing more Touya/Yuki? Really, I mean to say.
