Author: Sakuraloveu here everyone! I'm sorry if this Sunday seems to be going on forever, please forgive me. Because you see, I'm not about to write about every single day for a whole month, so I want to write down one day as detailed as possible, and skip a few and continue on. So next, I'm gonna jump at least to Wednesday if not Friday. And I guarantee that this Sunday is filled with nice stuff!

I'm updating a little fast these days, probably because of the guilt. Wolvesm0on gave it to me like two month ago and I'm just updating now...tee hee...and plus, the inspiration hit me full force, so I'm writting down like two chapters in one day. So please check the web more often and I do recommend you to add this story to author alert if you like it.

Disclaimer: I don't own CCS, blah blah blah…

Special thanks goes to:

Angelicpnaybabee: Thanks for your support of the story! There's another story I would recommend you to read: "Chapstick Fate". I write it, and I do hope you would like it. Did you know that there's a lot of the same stories you and I both like?

Faeza: I'll try not to over-write!

On with the story……

Chapter 9: Lesson number two: How to let go

"Ohayou Kinomoto-san." Greeted Syaoran when he came down the stairs and found Fujitaka preparing breakfast and Sakura setting the table. "Oh Syaoran, ohayou. Had a nice night of sleep?" Fujitaka replied with a smile (I love this guy! He's so nice!). "Yes, yes I did. And thank you for letting me staying at your house, Kinomoto-san." Syaoran thanked Fujitaka and bowed.

"Oh that's no problem. Besides, I'm thinking that I'll be seeing a lot of you later on, ne?" Fujitaka smiled even more and looked at Syaoran then back at Sakura, both of them blushing quite a lot.

"Knock, knock." Someone knocking on the door had cut their conversation short. "Who would it be at this early hour?" Sakura wondered and went to open the door. The door was opened, and revealed a young man around the age of 25 with gray-ish silver hair standing on the front porch with a box at hand.

"Oh, ohayou Sakura." Yukito greeted Sakura with a broad smile on his face. "Yukito!" Sakura squealed, surprised that Yukito would come by this early in the morning. "Ohayou Yukito, please come in." Fujitaka stepped out of the kitchen, Syaoran at his side, and welcomed Yukito in.

Up on seeing Yukito, both Sakura and Syaoran had the same thought in mind, if Yukito's here, then that means…

"Ohayou Kaiju, Otou-san." A young man around the age of 25 also stepped in. He's got jet black hair, chocolate brown eyes, and a killer model figure.

(A/N: Oh my god, isn't Toya just H-O-T HOT?!!!! All the females that agree with me please say "Ay")

"Toya!" Sakura almost chocked on nothing when she saw her older brother step in, "Wh…what…what are you doing here?" Sakura asked, all the while tripping on words.

"Huh? What do you mean what I'm doing here? It's still my home isn't it?" Looking at his little sister sideways with an evil smirk, Toya searched between all the present people for a certain chestnut-haired head. Bingo.

Caught sight of Toya looking for something, or someone, Syaoran had a bad feeling that his target would be a certain chestnut-haired, amber-eyed, Cantonese guy. In another word, himself. Gulp. Looks to Syaoran that Toya's target is located. Here goes…

With an automatic reaction, both Toya and Syaoran started yet another stare-contest. This whole thing would have continued on forever if Sakura hadn't, much to Toya's dismay, kicked her older brother on the leg while pouting: "I'm not a Kaiju!"

(A/N: I would have wrote a really funny breakfast scene in the Kinomoto residence, but I thought it would just waste people's time and since I want to get to my next idea as soon as possible, so the breakfast scene is free to your imagination, however you want it.)

After breakfast, Syaoran watched as Sakura cleaned the table and thought to himself: I shouldn't do this infront of her family, especially when her brother is around. But if I don't, then I don't think I would gather up this much courage again in a while…oh whatever, if Toya wants to kill me, then I'm sure Sakura would kill him…I hope…ah, here goes…

Syaoran took Sakura aside from the sink, all the while under Toya's sharp eyes and asked: "Um…Sakura, would you um…would you ……" "Would I……" Sakura looked at Syaoran confused, and she too, was aware of Toya's watch. Taking a deep breath, Syaoran asked Sakura:

"Sakura, would you want to go out with me for a while?"

(A/N: I bet you all thought he was going to pop the question! Haha…I'm sorry, but I just couldn't help it! Haha… Readers: Kill her! …)

Sakura was a little taken back, but she smiled and put down the dishes: "Sure Syaoran, just let me finish these and we'll go okay?"

Whew…that wasn't as bad as I thought…wait a minute, aren't I her boyfriend? Then why was I so nervous about asking her to go out? Suddenly feeling stupid, Syaoran wanted to bang his head against the wall. "Hey, brat, I got something to tell you." Out of nowhere, Toya's voice rang behind him. "Eh?" fast turning around, Syaoran found Toya looking hard at him. "Um…okay." Was Syaoran's reply.

Once out of the ear shot of Sakura, Toya looked sharp into Syaoran's eyes and said: "Listen brat, I think you should know that if you ever hurt Sakura in anyway, and I mean ANY way, even a hair on her head, I guarantee you that you will not see daylight ever again. Understand?"

Syaoran, now slightly annoyed, replied in an equally serious tone: "And I thing you should know, Toya, that I would NEVER hurt Sakura in anyway, even a hair on her head. You should know that I would rather die than hurt Sakura."

Impressed by Syaoran's answer, though not showing it, Toya replied: "Good then. As long as we understand each other. And by the way, I was not kidding when I said 'you would not see the daylight again' part." "And I was not kidding when I said I would rather die than hurt Sakura."

Two men who loves Sakura with all theirhearts firmly stood facing each other, glaring hard into each other's eyes as if trying to find a tiny bit of insincerity.

(A/N: Believe me, those older-brother-to-brother-in-law-gonna-be talks are WAY scarier than the one I wrote down here…… )

"Syaoran, I'm ready!" Sakura happily yelled out, while bouncing down the stairs. "Eh, what's going on?" Sensing the atmosphere between Syaoran and Toya, Sakura cautiously asked. "Nothing." Both men replied at the same time.

"O…kay…so…should we get going then?" Sakura asked again, this time a tiny bit worried. "Um…yeah, okay." Syaoran turned his attention to Sakura, took her hand and walked out of the door, ignoring Toya completely.

"Bye dad! Bye Yukito! Bye Toya!" Sakura happily yelled back, and cheerfully leaned against Syaoran's arm while walking down the road.

"She's all grown up now Toya," Yukito walked up to Toya, who's still staring at the happy couple now walking down the road, and empathetically put a hand on to Toya's shoulder, "She's not that little ten year old girl that needs your, or my help for that matter, anymore Toya. Let go."

Still looking at the direction Sakura and Syaoran had disappeared to, Toya took a deep breath and sighed: "Yeah, I guess so."

Author: Cry…poor Toya. Personally, I think this chapter isthe most touching one yet. It's hard to let something so dear to you, and something you've protected so long in your life, go. But you've got to learn when and how, ne? Let me know what you thought about it!

Was born to make you happy…
