CH 3: Another in our mists....

A/n: Uhm.....act....misty? o.o

~~~~~~~~Story~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Kinomoto, Kinomoto....why does that sound so familiar?" Ryu mused as they were eating their lunch.

"Kinomoto-sensei is what you're thinking of." Ryan supplied taking a bite of his meal of tempura.

"Ah yes! I remember now."

"That's my father." Sakura mused looking up at them. "How do you know him?"

"Our guardian talked very fondly of him, said he was an inspiration to anyone wanting to get into teaching." Ryu smiled and stole some tempura from his brother who nearly impaled his hand with his chopstick.

"Eat your own food." He growled moving his bento away from Ryu's prying hands.

"But your lunches always look better." He pouted.

"Maybe you should make your own for a change?"

"You know I can't cook! Baking is my specialty."

"Then bake a cake for lunch."

"I can't eat cake all the time." He smiled slightly, knowing full well he was annoying his brother.

"Sounds like a personal problem to me."

"Mou, Onore Ryan!"

"Yes, a jerk that can cook." He smirked as Ryu frowned and went back to poking his lunch. Tomoyo smiled slightly before sliding her bento to Ryu.

"Here, I always have too much and I never finish it, you can have it if you'd like."

"Oh I couldn't take your lunch from you Daidouji-san!"

"I don't mind, I'm not really hungry anyway." Ryu gently pushed it back.

"I refuse to deprive a lady of eating, besides." He mused leaning back and taking a bite of tempura. "I can always steal Ryan's."

"What the!? Why you little thief! Give that back!"

"Make me."

"....You asked for it." He growled before tackling Ryu, both then struggled on the ground to get the bento from each other, the gang didn't really know what to do, but just then a smooth voice cut through the bickering.

"Your not fighting again are you boys?" They both paused and gulped turning to look at the tall man standing just a few feet away from them. "No..." They lied still tangled up on the ground. "Get off the floor, your getting dirty." He replied his voice never changing from the calm smooth tone he was using. Both boys scrambled to their feet dusting themselves off and looked to him.

He was tall, and slightly lanky, with long black hair braided and hung over his shoulder, bright green eyes piercing the twins with it's stare, he wore a dark blue business suite and glasses were perched at the end of his nose. He had an air about him that demanded respect, and with his looks he most likely got it.

He gave them both a look before looking over to the others. "I apologize for their behavior; they can be so childish sometimes." "No worries, some of us here are also especially childish." Tomoyo mused giving a side ways glance at Eriol and Li who both looked a bit put out.

The man smiled softly. "And who might you be?"

"Oh I am sorry, Daidouji Tomoyo." "Pleasure Daidouji-chan, I am Minamoto Toei." He tilted his head at Tomoyo. "Daidouji.....You wouldn't happen to be Sonomi's daughter would you?"

"Her only one." He smiled.

"No wonder your such a polite girl."

Tomoyo blushed faintly and bowed her head. "Ah.....arigato for your praise but I doubt that I'm deserving."

"Nonsense, you're especially polite.....and I bet you're the one who allowed them to eat with you?" She nodded. "And probably the one who kept them from killing one another."

Tomoyo smiled softly. "They weren't so bad."

"I'm sure." He mused glancing at the boys before looking to her again. "And was that you offering your lunch to Ryu before?" She blinked then nodded slowly. "You are a very sweet girl. Don't you think so boys?"

He gave them a pointed look as Ryan was holding his bento away from Ryu as he tried to practically crawl on Ryan to get the food.

Ryu nodded smiling. "And cute too." He added Ryan rolled his eyes.

"Don't start that again."

"Ah are we going back to our preferences?"

"How about I go back to kicking your ass?"

"Boys." His voice lowered in a warning.

"Gomen nasai Toei-san." They both chorused looking down Ryu snatched the bento and stuck his tongue out at a sputtering Ryan.

"Be more polite, you were raised better than that." He sighed rubbing the bridge of his nose.

They nodded again as Ryan smacked the bento out of Ryu's hand they both frowned when the bento fumbled and tipped over spilling the food on the floor. "Baka onore." They both grumbled to one another.

He then looked to the others. "And who might I ask are you?"

"Ah....Kinomoto Sakura." Sakura flushed smiling.

"Syaoran Li." He grunted looking suspiciously at Toei.

"Hiirawagiza Eriol, you wouldn't happen to be the new teacher at the college would you?"

He nodded. "The very same one." He blinked before looking to Sakura. "Kinomoto? As in the daughter of Kinomoto Fujikata?" She nodded.

"Hai."

"So that would make you Kinomoto Touya's sister?"

"Yeah that's the monster."

They turned when Touya walked over, Nakuru slung over his neck while Yukito walked beside him; he gave a friendly wave to the others who returned it.

"Ah, Touya-san. So this is the sister you talked of?"

"Hai Minamoto-sensei."

"Please when were outside of the school I am simply Toei."

Touya nodded before looking to the twins. "Are these the one's you're looking after?"

"Hai, I came to check on them. And as usual they were ready to kill one another."

Touya smirked. "Oooo kawaii!!" Nakuru squealed jumping off Touya to glomp the two boys. "Not as Kawaii as Toei-sensei, but cute enough!!"

Ryan winced but Ryu simply grinned, seeming to love the attention. "And who might this charming woman be?"

Nakuru giggled. "So sweet! I'm Akizuki Nakuru!"

"Pleasure to meet you Akizuki-san, I am Itsuki Ryu, and this is my brother Ryan."

Ryan looked over at the others. "Toei-san? Who are they?"

Yukito smiled his usual kind smile. "I am Tsukishiro Yukito, and this is Kinomoto To-ya." Touya raised a hand in greeting as Yukito went back to eating.

Ryan arched a brow. "To-ya? But I thought it was Touya?"

"Ah, that's how I pronounce it I'm afraid."

He nodded. "Where are you from originally? Because I've heard that sort of accent in England."

"Ah, here." He mused smiling in apology. Ryan simply nodded again.

"Oh, thank your for answering."

Ryu smiled slightly. "Someone's drifting into his-"

"You say it and I'll kill you."

"Boys..." Toei warned.

"...Preferences."

"That's it!!" He growled and began to chase Ryu around the group.

Ryu jumped behind Yukito. "Ah Tsukishiro-san! Save me!!"

"Wait until I get my hands on you!! I'm going to maim you, you freak!! Just you wait I'm gonna-"

"Would you like some Itsuki-kun?" He blinked as Yukito handed him a sweet cake. "It's really sweet and I like them, I thought that you would be hungry seeing as your lunch seemed to have fallen."

Ryan blinked slowly before looking at the sweet cake then to Yukito. "...Arigato." He mummured he blinked before taking a bite of it and walking back to the tree sitting down in confusion.

Ryu blinked peeking from behind Yukito's leg. "Would you like one as well?"

"Ah! Hai, hai!!" He grinned as he took a bite of his sweet cake. "Arigato Tsukishiro-san!!" He beamed and bounced over to Ryan sitting beside him. The whole group blinked before looking to Yukito.

Touya chuckled lightly. "And the power of the rabbit works its magic again."

Yukito stuck out his tongue. "Well atleast I don't have a sister complex!"

"I do not!"

"Yes you do."

"Do not."

"Do too."

"Do not!"

Yukito looked up to the sky. "Well someone was ranting about how a certain chinese boy better not be all over his sister, and seeing as To-ya said it wasn't him it had to have been someone else with a kawaii sister who happens to be dating a chinese exchange student." He mused seeming to be talking to the sky. Touya frowned. "Not funny rabbit."

~~~~~~~~~~After Lunch~~~~~~~~~~

The gang waved as the older ones departed. Li leaned over to Eriol and whispered to him. "Did you sense it?"

"Hai, looks like the twins aren't the only ones with magical powers."

Sakura sighed as she stood up. "They seem nice and all, but I'm still a bit hesitant to be open with them. They could be the one's that hurt Tomoyo." She whispered to them glancing over and watching as Ryu helped Tomoyo fold the blanket they sat on, Ryan just leaned against the tree seemingly in deep thought.

Eriol nodded. "I know what you mean, but we can't let them know where suspicious. Gotta act like our normal selves as to not arise suspicion especially from Tomoyo. She still doesn't know remember?"

They both nodded looking to Tomoyo as she talked to Ryan.

~~~~~~~~After School~~~~~~~~

"Are you sure you can't come?"

"Hai, we just moved here remember? We have a lot to unpack!" Ryu mused walking backwards so he could look at Tomoyo.

"Oh...o.k. then."

"Were -really- disappointed." Li replied not looking the least bit as disappointed as he claimed.

Tomoyo gave him a look before smiling to the boys. "Well how about this Sunday? I'm sure you'll be all unpacked by then!"

"We would love to." Ryu answered kissing the back of her hand and kissing the back of Sakura before dodging Li's rage. "Till tomorrow, Ja!" Ryan simply gave a short wave and followed after his brother.

Eriol watched them a moment before whispering to Li. "I have a sinking suspicion about those two."

"Same here."

~~~~~~~Where the Twin's are.~~~~~~~~

"Why did you decline Tomoyo-san's invite?"

"Because we can't stay near her yet."

"Then why accept her offer to meet on Sunday?"

"I said yet dear brother. We still have a lot to prepare for, and hanging out, as nice as it sounds, with them is out of the question for now." Ryan nodded looking ahead. "Besides we should really check in and make sure our master is prepared." Ryan nodded again matching his twin's speedy pace.

"Ryu?"

"Hai?"

"When this is all over.....I want to go back."

".....Whatever you want Ryan."
