Right. I have decided to carry on with this story. So, the continuation of the story. The characters that are in this story is not mine but CLAMPS and i am not the genius that created these characters. I am only responsible of this story line.

Now, we can finally get on with it!

Loud banging can be heard on the front door of the Kinomoto house. At a moment, she ignored the knocking. After all, it might be a pesky salesman. When the knocking refused to stop, she put down the vacuum cleaner and went to the door.

She peaked through the eyehole and frowned. A young lady stood outside, with a small suitcase at the side of her. Her cap hid her eyes, but couldn't prevent stray strains of hair from spilling out of it. She looked really professional, in a business coat and black and white checked skirt with a woollen black scarf. 'Utterly depressing.' She thought as she opened the door. "How may I help you?"

The visitor looked up. Her emerald eyes met the golden hue eyes before her eyes brightened up in recognition. "Kaho-san?"

The lady in the oversized t-shirt and faded shorts frowned. "That is Mrs Kinomoto and Sister to you."

She beamed. "Since when?" She studied her sister-in-law. Her hair was bun up and judging by the apron she wore, likely was to stop the long hair from disrupting her as she did the housework. She looked so different from the Ms Kaho she knew in Six Grade.

"We went to the Registry of Marriage yesterday." She smiled back. "Come in Sakura, you must be shivering from the cold weather."

"Yes. I didn't expect it to be snowing when I came back. When I reached the airport, I saw it snowing." She brushed off the snow from her coat and stepped into the warm cosy house.

After seven years of wandering, she is finally back home. The house looked the same. All the furniture is still there and in tiptop condition. "I am amazed that Touya could take good care of the house."

"He didn't. He hired a cleaning company to do the house every week. His workload doesn't allow him to spend as much time doing housekeeping as in the past." Kaho came out from the kitchen with a cup of hot chocolate, which Sakura happily accepted. "The company kept on giving him work to do. Not surprising as he is such a reliable and trusted accountant."

"Still struck in that crazy life I see." Sakura shook her head. "Things haven't changed."

"Neither have you." Kaho looked at her. "You still look bright and chirpy. How was it? Travelling over the world with Tomoyo?"

"Fun. Her designs are such a big hit worldwide. Every fashion shows definitely have a major celebrity ending up begging her to design her dress for the next award show." She sighed. "I miss my runway routines."

"You are skin and bones you know?" Kaho scolded. "What have they been feeding you?"

"Health food and vegetables." She laughed. "I am kidding. I don't skip meals and exercise. I don't go on extreme diet either. Let's say, I am blessed with high metabolism rate. If not, I will die just not eating chocolate every week!"

Kaho smiled. Secretly, she was proud of Sakura. Although she became a top model, her fame never gotten into her head, neither have she forgotten her roots. Every week, there will always be a letter from her. Surprisingly, they were not informed of her return home. "Why are you not working?"

"Working?" Sakura laughed. "Tomoyo just eloped, to some guy called Eriol. After that, she called me and told me to take leave till the New Year. She complained for the past seven years that I have been working my butt off and not having any holiday. So she threatened me to take a holiday if not she will sack me." The two of them laughed as they looked out of the window, watching the snowflakes coming down.

However, their peace was disrupted when the door was suddenly slammed shut and a shout. "Honey, I am home."

Sakura grinned as Kaho blushed. "I am here in the living room."

"Your guest has arrived dear?"

"No. Not the guest but someone that you will love to see."

The two ladies heard a suitcase put down not to gently on the wooden floor and footsteps before they saw a tall, dark and dead drop gorgeous man appear at the hallway. If Sakura didn't know that man all her life, she would have drooled. The man paused, tilting his head to the side, looking at Sakura inquisitively.

"Kaijuu?"

The younger lady fumed for a moment and walked to him. Although she was quite tall for a lady, the man was still taller than her by a head. She looked up at him and gave him a sly grin. "Yes I am back brother," And then she slammed her foot on his. "With vengeance!"

Kaho laughed as her husband gave his sister a deadly glare. "You will pay for this Kaijuu!" With that, the two siblings chased each other around the house like they do when they were young.

"Some things just refuse to change." Kaho smiled as she stood up and cleared Sakura's cup and went to the kitchen, leaving the two siblings time to bond.

After successfully making Touya pay for calling her Kaijuu at the age of 25, she happily went into her bedroom and started unpacking. The first one she took out from the bag was a family photo. It was taken when she was just barely a year old. Her brother, stood in front of his father, looking adorable in the little three-piece suit with a blue bow tie. His father wore the same type of clothes only with a dark blue tie. His arms were around her mother, who wore a white sundress and carrying Sakura.

This was the only photo of the complete family. When she was two years of age, she lost her mother to a mysterious illness. Her father died when she was 20, apparently some accident at the evacuation site he was working. So, that only leaves her with Touya. 'Fortunately for him, he is married.'

"Married? You are glad that I married your primary school teacher?" He asked, letting Sakura know that she spoke her thoughts out loud.

"What are you doing in my room?"

"Oh? Looking around, wondering whether you need help. It does seem though that it is not the case." Touya was about to leave when he spied the photo in her hands. "Miss them."

"Yes. We couldn't even see father." Sakura's eyes teared.

"Well, at least he is now with mother." Touya sighed. It was hard to lose a father like that. But that was the nature of his job and he had to live with it.

"How are you coping with yours?" He was surprised by her question. He didn't intend to talk about work with her, no matter how stressful it was. But now, he wasn't given a choice.

"Fine." He replied.

"Are you working at that crazy madhouse corporation which never give you overtime pay and yet make you work like a dog?"

"No"

"Then you are working in a different company."

"Yes."

"Enjoy your job?"

"Yes."

"Damn, Touya. Stop giving me one-word answers will you? And start giving me information." She saw her brother staring at her, hesitating to tell her something. "Spill it. I know you are working in a place which I will disapprove." She looked at him in feigned horror. "Oh, you are working in an illegal gambling den?"

"NO!!!"

"Then spill it! Where are you working?" Touya mumbled under his breath something. "Come again?" She heard him muttered corporation. "Where again?"

"LI CORPORATION!!" Touya shouted. "Are you deaf?"

"Li Corporation? You mean THE Li Corporation." Sakura broke out laughing as Touya gave her a deadly glare.

"Stop gloating!"

"I can't believe it! You are working in Syaoran's company!" She hooted in laughter. "I thought this day would never come! This is great. That crazy moron hired someone who threatened to break his neck if he ever makes me cry? This is classic!!"

"Sakura, Syaoran didn't hire me. His mother did. Stop gloating. I have to work with that brat everyday!"

"Right, but still, it's still unbelievable. Wait till I tell Tomoyo this! She will laugh her head off!" She gloated again

"Sakura, I swear if you don't shut up, you will be so damn sorry!"

"I won't be as sorry as you. Because," She gave a dramatic pause and started hitting the bed, to give the drum roll effect. "YOU ARE WORKING WITH LI SYAORAN!!!!"

The house was filled with Sakura's screeches as Touya went to her and tickled her till she begged him to stop. "This is the result of you pushing your luck too far." Touya mercilessly belted out the punishment.

"Touya! Stop disturbing Sakura. She needs to unpack!" Kaho suddenly appeared at the door, scolding Touya before turning her attention to Sakura. "Oh, Sakura, there is someone joining us for dinner tonight. Please, wear your best clothes."

Sakura struck out her tongue as Touya obediently listened and went out of the room, however not without giving her the familiar look that implies 'I will be back!' When the door closed, she stared at the photo once more. "I am back home father, mother." She said softly as she placed it on her study desk.
