Disclaimer: All the characters in this fic are property of CLAMP (with the little exception of the character in the tittle that is not Touya's and Sakura's mom. Mitsuo Sasaki and her parents are mine too). I don't earn a penny writing this story, so it isn't fair to start suing, isn't it?
Author's Note: Hi people, my regards to all CCS's fans, I'm back, it took me too long, but well, I had a busy couple of months and couldn't write for a wile, sorry. Well, leaving the excuses aside, in our first chapter we find out a couple of interesting things. Touya had a daughter when he was 17, he is in college with an scholarship; he work, study, and take care of his nearly two year old daughter, in others words, he has a hard life because he mess it up really badly. He left little Nadeshko ("Nadi" to all of us, "the imp" for Sakura) in his father's house for the weekend, which happened to be the only weekend off of his father, and the beginning of Sakura's winter vacation. Sakura doesn't like her little nice, she think that she ruin Touya's life and that is her fault that she can't see her older brother anymore.
That are the facts of our first chapter, so, here we go with the second one, but first:

"LITTLE NADESHKO"
Author: Lorien Lupin
Flash Back
The seventeen year old girl change her direction, and cross the park when she saw the person that she was looking for. With insecure steps, she walk to the tall guy that lay on one of the park benches; and that, beside the earphones and the foot that he was moving along with some song rhythm, look like he was sleeping.
With her eyes fixed on the rocks and grass that she was walking on, and taking the most slow and short steps that she could; Mitsuo walk to her boyfriend, Touya. She was trying to delay, even for a few seconds, that inevitable conversation; that discussion that will ruin his life, leaving it in the same disaster that was her own life now.
She finally reach Touya, he had his eyes close; the music came to her, even through the earphones, as a sign of how high he had the volume, and as the reason for the still closed eyes of Touya. Mitsuo was unsure of the way she should tell him, despite the fact that she'd rehearse that same conversation a thousand times in the past week, and another ten times during her way there.
- Touya! – She call him finally, in a low voice, half wishing that he won't hear her.
But Touya open his eyes as soon as he hear his name, and smiling took his earphones off and stood up; then he hug her, putting his arms around her waist and kissing her cheek.
- Hi honey, I didn't hear you coming, I think I had the volume to high. Hey, I was thinking that this Saturday we could go to that nightclub that was recently open up town – said Touya, seating again, but taking Mitsuo with him this time. He sat her down onto his knees and wrapped his arms around her waist – they said its very good, and if is not, it doesn't mater; Yuki owe me big time, we came back, and tell him that lent us his house for...
- Touya – Mitsuo interrupt him, untangling herself from Touya's embrace, and standing up to walk away a little from the bench – I need to talk to you about something important.
- What's going on? – He asked, also standing up and walking around to be again face to face with her – there's something wrong?
- Touya, you'd better sit down.
He was still looking at her with a confuse expression, but he didn't sit down, questioning her with his eyes. Mitsuo took a deep breath and look up to see on Touya's scrutinizer eyes.
- I... I don't know how to tell you this... – she begun with unsure voice.
- Just said it, Mitsy, how bad could it be? – He said with a reassuring smile.
- I'm pregnant.
End of the Flash Back
After setting the table for the breakfast, I start making coffee for dad, and call him as I finish making the orange juice and making some cereal for myself. Dad came down with Nadeshko in his arms; the little nightmare seem to had remember suddenly her beloved daddy, because she didn't stop saying that she want to see him. She was getting on my nerves, and the worst part was that I couldn't even tell her to shut up, because "she was just a baby", so unfair.
We seat for breakfast, I put Nadeshko's milk in her Winnie Pooh cup, but she decide that she wanted my cereal; so I serve her some to see if with that, she stop touching my breakfast.
When most of the little colorful stars where scattered across the entire table, and most part of the kitchen floor, Nadeshko decided that she wanted to grab the coffee-pot; she ended throwing down the coffee-pot. Dad prevent her from burning herself with the hot pot, but all of our clothes where covered in orange juice.
- Don't touch that Nadi, if you burn your dad will kill me – that was the only thing dad said, still holding Nadeshko's little hand, and smiling sweetly at her.
I can't wait for that girl to grow a little; then we'll see if they stop forgiving everyone of her mischief.
Breakfast was over in that moment. Nadi climb down of dad's leg and started to jump all over the kitchen; dad ask me to look over Nadi while he clean, but I prefer to clean the kitchen instead of taking care of the imp. So, after sending me a reproach glare, dad take Nadeshko to change her close, and probably play with some toys and stuff animals that my brother had pack for her.
Finaly, all the mess that Nadeshko had made was gone, and I could go to my room to change my clothes and make a phone-call.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
- No Tomoyo, I can't go tonight.
- But Sakura, I need you to make the last adjustments to the winter collection. We're already late.
- I'm really sorry Tomoyo, but something is come up at home, and will be impossible for me to go there tonight.
- It's everything all right Sakura? There's something wrong? – Her voice had sound suddenly worried, so I explain to her that my brother had left Nadeshko here for the weekend, and I had to help dad.
Tomoyo let go an excited little yelp, then begin a long session of praises about the supposed tenderness, beauty and intelligence of the little beast of two ponytails. That was follow by another amount of phrases about how long had being since the last time she saw her, and how big she'd probably become.
It was pretty obvious what Tomoyo was trying to tell me. So I decided to save her the job of keeping talking forever, and me the job of keep listening of my weekend-killer, so, when she took a break I offered her to change the time and place of the meeting, and invite her to come to my house.
We decided that the meeting with in my house now, and that it would be in the afternoon, instead of the night. Tomoyo promise me that she would call the other girls, and that she would came a little early to help me put everything in place.
- Sakura darling – someone nock at the door, and then my father's voice sounded from the other side of it – can I come in?
- Come in, dad.
He open the door and came in with Nadeshko sitting on his shoulders. She was wearing a new change of clothes. A pink and sky blue sweater with a bunny in the front, a little skirt of the same color and materials of the sweater, and a couple of socks that reach her knees and have tassels that jump when ever she moved her feet. She obviously haven't wanted to put her shoes.
Dad, on the contrary, was still soaked in orange juice.
- Sakura, can you take care of Nadi while I go change?
Without expecting my answer he thanked me; then he lower Nadeshko from his shoulders and left her standing in front of me before turn around and leave the room.
Nadi had her little face lift and was staring and me; I was also looking at her, not to sure what to do with such a small child, when I didn't had the obligation of changing her, feeding her or putting her to sleep. I realize that I didn't have much options, that's the problem with little kids, you can't really talk to them, and they never want to play something that you would like. Too bad that Kero was traveling with Yue, Nadeshko love Kero, and he is wonderful keeping her entertain.
- So, what you want to do? – I ask her doubtfully.
- Cow – that was the only thing she said before turning around and pushing the half open door with both hands, run out to the hallway.
I catch her when she was leaving Touya's old room, she was carrying a stuff animal in one hand, a cow that was being drag all over the floor, because of how big the toy was, or instead how small Nadeshko was.
- So, that's what you wanted. You could had ask for it, like a good girl – I exclaim, lifting her up, to keep her to run away again – you monster, you'd being nothing but trouble, even before you came to this world, and make my poor brother your slave for live.
Of course, she didn't say anything, she just look me in the eyes, with the expression of a person that had understand least than half of the things said.
- Lets go to my room, I want to listen some music, and there I could watch you better.
Flash Back
Touya stare at her with disbelief, then blink a couple of times, and look down stretching one hand to the side, like searching something to support him, but falling again on the bench instead, breathing fast and staring into nothing.
- It's impossible!!! – Exclaim Touya finally, looking up again, and staring at his girlfriend, that had her eyes on the ground at the time – are you sure? I mean, 100% sure?
She just nod slowly, still looking down.
- But, how is that possible? We were always careful. How could something like this, happened to us? Is not possible – Touya stroke his hair in a nervous gesture. Mitsuo was still standing in front of him, her eyes on the grass – the concert... – he said suddenly, closing his eyes and sighing - ...like a month ago – he finish, burring his head in his hands and pulling his hair with frustration.
- Touya, what are we going to do? – Mitsuo finally ask, approaching to the bench and crouching in front of him, putting her hands on his knees.
He raised his eyes and closed them; his expression relax a little, and sighing, open his eyes again. Grabbing her hands, he pull Mitsuo and seat her in his knees.
- Don't worry, we will think of something. You'll see; everything will be all right.
- You think so?
- Everything will be all right.
End of Flash Back
The morning was very calm; dad change his clothe, and free me of the imp for a few hours. So, I watch some TV, read a little, and talk on the phone with some friends. A quiet and relax morning of vacations. A morning that could be completely perfect if I didn't had to listen the voice of Nadeshko every too minutes, and that girl had such a loud and piercing voice, that gets to my brain, even through the distance, and the volume of my TV higher than usual.
Approximately at noon, dad got a phone-call from college, apparently he had to go there; it was urgent. I had to take care of Nadeshko again; dad assure me that it would be for three or four hours tops. He gave me money and told me that I didn't have to cook, that I could order something to eat instead, I think that he knows that I don't like to baby-sit and he's trying to compensate. I grab the money, and told him not to worry, that Nadeshko and I will be just fine; so he said good bye, kiss us both and left, but before that, he stop at the door and look at me one more time.
Sakura, you already know the emergency numbers, and my cell-phone number; if something happen, don't forget, you call whoever is necessary, but then you call me, OK? – I nod with a smile, of course I know, there is no reason for him to repeat it every time he leave me alone – and don't forget order Nadi something light, and cut it for her, we don't want for her to choke or something.
- Dad!!! Nadeshko and I will be fine!!! Neither of us it's going to die in this four hours – I exclaim impatiently – I think I'm a big enough to take care of nice, don't you think? – I add, using on purpose the word "nice".
He laugh a little, and then nod.
- I know, honey. I know – he exclaim with a weird smile, a melancolyc smile, you could say – I'll be back in a couple of hours, and Sakura, don't order junk food, please order real food – he add from the street
- Damn it!! – I exclaim softly; I was thinking of ordering pizza for lunch, or maybe some fried chicken.
End of chapter 2.
