Last time...
"Why did you leave before?" Sakura asked softly. Touya looked at her sadly.
"I...I don't know. But when I did, I regretted doing what I did, but I thought it was too late so I just left." he hid his eyes under the shadow of his bangs.
But Sakura was very forgiving and forgave him with another hug.
"Just as long as I know you're still here and you'll stay with me like family." Sakura mumbled into his shirt.
Touya hugged her back.
"Okay, I promise."
A/N: Yay! Sakura found her oni-chan! Let's see what happens next!
Chapter sixteen: Get Together
By: Ame-chan
Sakura stayed in the cafe for the rest of the day with her brother as he worked and talked about what happened after he left. Sakura was so happy that day. Who wouldn't be after finding the last of their family?
"So what happened after you left?" Sakura asked as she drank her milk shake.
"Well, I needed money to survive so I started working. First at something easy like taking orders and serving food at restaurants, but as I continued to work, they paid me little money. So I quit and decided to work here. Actually, I've been working here for quite a while, I liked it here." he answered.
"As I got older, I found a nice girl that seemed nice and gentle. We started going out, then we just went on until we got married." he finished.
Sakura gawked at him.
"You're married?" she asked. He nodded.
"Yes..." he answered. Sakura started to become excited.
"Do you have any kids yet?" she asked. Touya looked at her and smiled.
"Yeah, we called him Shiro. He's three years old now, and he has the same birthday as you." he answered. Sakura jumped and smiled.
"Really? Wow! Can I meet them? Please?" Sakura asked as she took out her money to pay.
Touya shook his head. "The shake is on me and yes, we can go meet them today." he answered. Sakura was so happy and excited, she skipped out the door. Touya followed behind her. His shift was over.
He walked to his car and unlocked it. They both sat down and he drove to his house.
Sakura stared at the house. It was like a simple house, but Sakura still liked it none the less. Touya got out of the car and walked to the front door. He unlocked it too and stepped in as Sakura followed him.
"Wow, this place is so neat and tidy." Sakura looked around. She could smell cookies.
"Yeah, my wife likes to keep things clean around here." he smiled and walked into the kitchen. Sakura followed.
"Maie, this is Sakura. My little sister." he introduced. Sakura blushed and said a soft hi.
Maie smiled at her and introduced herself.
"My name is Maie, your sister-in-law." she said softly as well. Sakura admired her. She was so pretty. She resembled her mother a lot. She had glistening long hair and always a soft expression. Sakura smiled.
"Is Shiro here?" she asked politely. "I'd like to meet him." Even though Sakura was excited, she was still shy and Maie noticed it.
"Shiro is upstairs playing in his room. And don't be shy Sakura. I'm so happy to meet you." she smiled more brightly and looked down at Sakura caringly. Sakura smiled back.
"Okay." she replied and left to go see Shiro. She walked up the stairs to a room that was blue. She walked in and saw a little kid trying to read a book.
"Shiro?" Sakura said softly. He turned around and tilted his head.
"Who are you?" He asked cutely? Sakura smiled at him. He was so adorable!
"I'm your autie Sakura." she answered. Shiro walked up to her and hugged her and looked up at her.
"Hello auntie Sakura! Want to play wif me? I have crayons to color wif!" He said happily. Sakura nodded and followed him to his small table full of paper and crayons.
He was so gentle and happy like his mother. But he looked a lot like his father. The perfect family. She smiled sadly as Shiro handed out the paper and gathered the crayons together.
Sakura still couldn't get the memory of her family before. How it just broke apart. Why couldn't it be liked Touya's happy family? She colored and drew while Shiro scribbled on his paper and showed it to Sakura. She would always smile and compliment his work. Then he would smile and scribble some more.
Sakura watched as he drew and colored. He was so carefree...as is nothing bad would happen ever in his life. He was just...happy. And that made Sakura happy too.
When there was only one sheet of blank paper left, Sakura and Shiro decided to share it. Sakura drew three smiley heads on it. She smiled and gestured for Shiro to draw the rest. He looked at her, then the paper. He tried to draw a stick down from the circles slowly. He also drew stick arms and stick leg. Shiro was excited and clapped his small hands at seeing himself draw so well. Sakura smiled.
She pointed at the smaller one.
"Who's this?" She asked softly. Shiro looked at it and added and added a few short lines on top of it's head and pointed at it too.
"This one is me!" he squealed happy. Sakura giggled.
She pointed at the tallest one.
"Who's this?" She asked again. Shiro also drew some short lines of hair for it too.
"This one daddy!" he answered happily. She smiled and felt tears start to sting her eyes. She pointed at the last one.
"How about this one?" she asked softly. He drew longer strands of hair.
"This one is mommy!" he answered cheerfully. Sakura smiled as a tear fell from her eyes. One happy family. Shiro frowned at her.
"Why auntie Sakura cwy?" he asked. Sakura smiled and wiped her tears.
"Nothing..." she replied. Shiro looked at their picture. He decided to try and draw a house beside it. The lines were a bit wiggly but it was good.
"Me live here! A house wif mommy and daddy. Where is you're mommy and daddy?" he asked curiously. Sakura looked at him and looked down.
"I'm not sure Shiro." she whispered. Shiro looked at her sadly.
"Why Auntie Sakura sad?" he asked, sitting closer to her. She pulled him and let him sit on her lap. She hugged him.
Shiro hugged back.
"Auntie Sakura is a nice person. I like Auntie Sakura." he whispered. He picked up the paper and drew another head, trying to copy how Sakura drew the other heads, drew a stick body and hair. He pointed at it with a smile.
"This one auntie Sakura!" he said proudly. Sakura smiled at him as another tear slid down her eyes.
"Yes. We're one big family." She whispered. Shiro yawned and snuggled closer to her.
"Me sleepy. Good night Aunti Sakura." he said lightly. Sakura held onto him until he fell asleep. She placed him on the bed softly and covered him with the blanket. She placed a light kiss on his cheek and whispered, "Good night Shiro."
She looked at the picture one more time and hung on the wall. She wrote down, Family at the top and left the room.
She went back downstairs and looked for Maie. She found her still in the kitchen baking things.
"Hello, Maie-san, ano, I have to go back to my school and prepare dinner. I wish I could longer but I have to go." Sakura replied softly. "And Shiro fell asleep." she added.
Maie smiled and nodded. "Alright then. I hope you'll come back and have some of my delicious cookies."
She went out for a moment and came back with Touya following behind.
"So Sakura, you're ready to go?" he asked. Sakura nodded and said a last good bye to Maie.
Sakura was happy. She was so happy that nothing could have made her sad or upset. When she got back, she wanted to tell everybody.
Sakura said good bye and told him that she'll go to the cafe more often to talk. She took out her keys and opened the door to her dormitory. She walked in and everybody was there. Sakura ran into the living and said.
"Guess what! I found my brother!" she exclaimed. Everyone's eyes widened and they stood up immediately.
"Really? Where?" Syaoran asked quickly.
"I saw him in that cafe! I was so surprised!" Sakura answered. Everybody was happy for Sakura. They thought that since it wasn't that late, they wanted Touya and his family to come and have dinner out together just for him and Sakura.
Sakura picked up the phone and took out Touya's number out of her pocket. (A/N: He gave it to her on the ride home.)
"Hello?" Maie answered the phone.
"Hello This is Sakura. Me and my friends were wondering if you, Touya and Shiro could come out with us for dinner." Sakura said happily.
"Of course! We don't have any plans tonight. Can we come to your place first?" Maie asked gently.
"Yeah..." Sakura gave the directions to the school and where to go.
"Okay, thank you. Bye." Maie replied.
"Bye!" Sakura hung up the phone and smiled brightly.
Everybody settled down and got ready for other people to come. At last, there was a soft knock on the door. Everybody stayed in the living room while Sakura went to open the door. The moment she did, Shiro ran to hug her. Well, her knees since he was still short and young.
"Hi Auntie Sakura!" He said happily. Sakura smiled and hugged him back. "Hello Shiro, I'm glad you're here." She got up and hugged her brother and her sister in law too.
"Please come in!" Sakura gestured them inside.
Shiro ran into the living room for a few seconds and then ran back out to hide behind Sakura.
"They're scary people in there." He mumbled. Sakura giggled and picked him up.
"Come on, they're my friends." Sakura said as she walked into the living room.
Everybody stood up to greet the guests.
Sakura introduced everybody and they sat down and chatted for a while.
"This is Shiro. Isn't he adorable?" Sakura smiled at him as he stood close to her and smiled shyly.
"He's so cute!" Tomoyo squealed. Eriol calmed her down.
"I want one!" She cried. Eriol blushed and stared at her with a sweatdrop while everybody stared at them. Then they laughed. Tomoyo shut her mouth and blushed.
After a while, Shiro wasn't so shy anymore. He walked up to Syaoran.
"Me Shiro. Who are you?" he asked curiously. Syaoran chuckled as he picked him up and out him on his lap.
"I'm Syaoran. How old are you?" he asked gently. Shiro counted his fingers and put three up.
"Me fwee!" he answered brightly. Syaoran laughed.
"I'm seventeen." Shiro looked at him weirdly.
"What's seveteen?" he asked. Syaoran laughed some more.
"Sev-en-teen. That's ten fingers and seven toes." Syaoran explained. Shiro tried to understand. He tried counting his fingers and toes. But he could only count up to five.
Syaoran counted for him. He picked up Shiro's hand and counted the first five fingers.
"One, two, three, four, five." he picked up his other hand and continued.
"Six, seven, eight, nine, ten." He pointed at Shiro's foot and counted the bumps in his socks that were supposed to be his toes.
"Eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen." he pointed at each toe and then continued on the other,
"and two more of these toes makes seventeen." Syaoran said as he ticckled Shiro under the foot. Shiro Squealed as he tried to make Syaoran stop tickling him.
Sakura watched how nice and gentle Syaoran can be with little kids. She smiled at him and continued to chat until it was time to go out for dinner.
They went out to an expensive seafood and sushi restaurant. Touya glared at Syaoran.
"You better not get to close to my sister or else..." he warned. Sakura stared at them with dot eyes. He's still over protected about her.
Syaoran smirked. Sakura froze. 'He better not tell Onii-chan about sleeping in the same bed together, onii-chan's gonna think the wrong way!" Sakura blushed at thinking about that again and smacked herself mentally.
"Oh, you mean like..." Syaoran started, but Sakura stomped behind him and hit him on the head.
"Don't tell!" I said menacingly. Syaoran chuckled. "Okay, I won't." Sakura saw him smirk and she had a bad feeling about it. She believed him and sat back down.
"Yeah, nothing happened even thought we slept in the same bed." he said cooly. Sakura pricked up and stared at him and her brother. She glared at Syaoran so hard that if looks could kill, he would have been dead.
"What!" Touya yelled at Syaoran. Syaoran knew he would be mad, but not that mad.
"Er...well..." Syaoran sweatdropped. He got out of his chair and ran for his life as Touya chased him. Everybody sweatdropped.
"I told you not tell." Sakura sighed. Touya stopped and glared at her too. She froze.
"And you? Why did you sleep with him?" he asked, pointing at Syaoran.
"I didn't. He just slipped into the same bed while I was asleep." Sakura sweatdropped more. Touya turned to Syaoran again and started to chase him again.
"Why you!" he growled. Everybody continued to sweatdrop. Sakura sighed. 'It's gonna be hard for Syaoran if onii-chan is here.' She thought as she dug into the food.
"Ah! Someone help me" Syaoran yelled as he ran away. Touya was close behind. "Get back here!" He yelled. So Syaoran continued to run and he didn't get to eat any food. But Sakura saved some food for her brother.
"What? I don't get any food?" Syaoran whined. Touya glared and Sakura pouted at him.
"That's what you get for sleeping in the same bed as me." Syaoran's mouth dropped open. Everybody laughed and continued to eat, under the bright pale moon.
