Chapter 21: Onii-chan? Imoto?

-Friends

"So, uhm, Kenneth, what's up?" Li asked.

"Huh?"

"You know, this and that."

"What the heck is wrong with you Li?" Kenneth asked.

"Eh? Nothing, like I said, I'm pretty fine!"

"Nothing?"

"Yeah, nothing!"

"Whatever."

In Kenneth's room………………

A blue eye was peeking out of Kenneth's room, wearing spectacles.

"What the heck is he doing with him!" Eriol muttered.

"Eriol-san, daskete." Shara said.

"Hai!"

In the Kitchen…………..

"Li, where's Shara?" Kenneth asked and put his glass in the sink.

"Eh? I……I…….She…….eto…….uhm………."

Kenneth gave him a: so, what? Look. Li looked at his right, trying to think of something.

"What now?" He thought.

"Li?"

"I…………….I………..I………Eriol…………She…………go…………"

"Whatever, it's ok; I'm going to my room." Kenneth sighed. (He likes to sigh, doesn't he?)

"What? You can't!" Li shouted as a reply. Kenneth turned to him with a confused look.

"What? Why?" He asked. A big sweat drop formed at the back of Li's head.

"Eto……….."

"Hmm, ja." Kenneth said. He was already in front of his door. He held the doorknob when.

"Don't!" Li said as he pushed Kenneth from the door.

"What the!" Kenneth shot back. "Get off of me Li!"

"Hai." Li replied and stood up. He helped Kenneth stand up too.

"What the heck was that for?" Kenneth asked. "I'm out."

"Wait!"

But………..it was too late…………..Kenneth had already turned the doorknob. He went in and……………………..

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

"Shara! Get out!" He shouted.

"Demo……onii-chan." Shara tried to explain.

"Iie, uruse, just, get out." Kenneth muttered.

"Demo…………….."

"Just get out……" Kenneth faced the other way. "Out."

"Hai………….." Shara said with solemn tone. She passed Kenneth and sighed. She went outside and Kenneth slammed the door as hard as he can. Shara went to the living room. She saw Li and Eriol watching T.V. She sat with them. Li and Eriol could hear her small sobs.

"Shara?" Li voiced as he sat next to her.

"…………"

"I know it hurts but……"

"It's ok Li, it's all my fault anyways. I shouldn't have ran to his room, I shouldn't have chased you there, I just shouldn't have." Shara replied.

"Eh?"

Shara sounded different. She sounds so mature and responsible like she wasn't even the Shara the past days. She was lonely, she felt very sorry for what she's done.

"Shara………" Li mumbled out. Shara wiped her tears away and smiled, gently.

"So, do you think he'll forgive me?" She asked. Then, tears started to fall from her eyes. They were flowing, but, she didn't care, she kept smiling. Li felt sorry for her.

"We just have to look at the bright side then." Eriol replied.

"Eh?"

"I guess you're right." Shara nodded. Then, there was small silence. Shara sighed and hugged a small pillow. "Onii-chan, I never understood how he felt until now."

"What do you mean, Shara?" Eriol asked.

"I, I was always there to bother him. I could always see in his eyes that he was irritated but, I was stubborn. I never really cared, cause, I knew he would just sigh and calmly go. I guess I've abused that kindness. I shouldn't have. Now, look what I've done."

Eriol and Li looked at their cousin. She was always happy and cheerful, now, she's solemn as dead.

"sigh We just have to figure out one thing to make him forgive you." Li suggested.

"Iie." Shara replied silently.

"Nani? Are you sure?" Eriol asked.

"I have to do this myself." Shara explained. "I did this, I should be the one to patch things up. That's all I can do."

"But………"

"Iie, Li. I am grateful for your help, but, I have to do this, me, me only."

"Ok."

"Arigato."

In Kenneth's room……………..

Kenneth was standing blank, his eyes were covered by his tan bangs, his eyes were looking nowhere, he was standing at the back of his door. He sighed again. He looked at his ambience, it was a total mess. He sighed and straightened up. He started to clean it. Picking up everything and putting them back properly. Then, he passed some pieces of paper. It was his report. It was all ripped up, well, not ripped into pieces, it just had some scratch and dirt, and you can't even read it clearly. He sighed and just continued on.

Outside, they can hear him cleaning up his room. With sounds of things being put back, on shelves, desk. His room was pretty messy, Shara and Li were running around it that lead up to this mess.

"He must be cleaning his room now." Shara muttered.

"I guess so." Li replied.

"It's gonna be a hard day." Shara mumbled.

……………………………………………………………………………next day…………………………………………………………………………….

RING! RING! RING!

A long chestnut haired boy heard the sound of his ranging alarm. He sat up, he's very, very tired and sleepy. He looked at the clock and lied down back.

"Hmm, as I remember, I slept 4:30 am, now, it's 7'o clock. I only got almost half 3 hours of sleep." Kenneth calculated. Without knowing it, he fell asleep once more.

Outside………………….

"I wonder how Kenneth's doing. It's 7 and he hasn't got out of his room yet." Eriol wondered.

"I'm finished." Shara said and stood up quickly.

"What?" Li asked. "It's only 7 and you're going?" Shara took her bag and went outside.

"Don't worry, you'll see me at school!" She replied and closed the door. After that, she rested her back on the door and sighed. "I just want onii-chan to eat without seeing me." She muttered and walked away.

"I wonder where's she's going." Li said. "This early."

"But, I'm more worried about Kenneth." Eriol replied. "What are we going to do, wake him up?"

"Huh? Why are you worried about that?"

"Because, I can still hear him cleaning your mess about 2:30."

"Hey! It's not entirely my fault."

"Whatever, so, we gonna wake him up?"

"Yeah, he doesn't like not going to school and stuff."

"Ok, then." Eriol went to Kenneth's room and took a small peak. "Eh? This guy's amazing, he cleaned his room all to himself!" He exclaimed. He went in and tried waking him up. "Kenneth, Kenneth, wake up." He said. But, Kenneth wouldn't budge, he had his eyes closed and body curled up in his sleep. "Kenneth, Kenneth, we'll be late, you know that?"

"Eh?" Finally, a small mutter came out of his breath.

"sigh Wake up will you?" Eriol repeated.

"What?" Kenneth sat up and rubbed his eyes. "What time is it?"

"7:15 am." Eriol replied.

"Huh?"

"7: 15 am," Eriol replied again. "Stand up and eat will you?" Kenneth nodded and tried to stand up. He was so weak, actually, sleepu. "Oh man Kenneth, what happened to you?"

"Nothing."

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

A certain midnight haired girl with golden eyes was walking, solemnly alone. She was going somewhere, nowhere.

"I guess onii-chan has been woken up." She muttered. For some reason, her feet were leading her somewhere. She really didn't care. She was full of regret. That's the only thing she was thinking about.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Kenneth was eating his breakfast like normal, no sounds at all. Eriol and Li was looking at him.

"He doesn't even ask where Shara is." Li whispered.

"I know, he must really be irritated." Eriol whispered back.

"You know, I can hear you guys clearly." Kenneth said. Li and Eriol widened their eyes and back up a little bit, in a silly style.

"What are you talking about?" Li replied. "We weren't talking."

"Yeah, just, a little, something." Eriol added.

Kenneth raised an eyebrow and continued eating.

"sigh Please don't talk about those things for awhile." He muttered. He stood up and almost collapsed. He shook his head, "Oh man, I'm so tired out." He walked to the bathroom and went in.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Shara crossed a familiar store, it was the Tomachi Bookstore. She went in and looked around.

"Ohayo, watashi wa Gianina desu. It's nice to see you here, you're new." A girl with long plum hair greeted.

"Eto, ohayo, I'm de Lavia Shara." She replied with a silent tone.

"de Lavia? You're Kenneth's sister aren't you?"

Shara's eyes widened a bit and sighed. "Hai." She muttered.

"So, here for her novel too?"
"Not really, I just wanna look around."

"Ok."

Shara nodded and walked around.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

"What the heck is taking him so long there!" Li exclaimed. "We'll be late!"

"Yeah, I might say. Kenneth doesn't take a bath so long." Eriol added.

"I can't take this! I'll barge right in!"

"Knock first you know, you don't have an idea what you'll see there." Eriol smirked. Li sighed. He knocked on the door and voiced.

"Kenneth! For crying out loud! Faster would you!" Li shouted. Then……..

BANG!

Sounds of bottles of shampoo, soap and other bathroom things fall.

"What the heck is he doing there?" Eriol asked.

"I think he fell asleep." Li replied.

"Nani!"

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Shara kept looking around the bookstore. Either she's looking around or just walking blank.

"Eto, ane, what's wrong with her?" Justin asked, pointing to Shara.

"I don't know Justin, she seems pretty lonely." Gianina replied.

"Then I'll go help her!" Justin said and jumped off the cashier. Gianina tried to stop him but you know little brothers, they never listen.

"sigh He never learns." Gianina muttered.

"Konichiwa!" Justin greeted Shara. Shara looked at him; she saw a great big smile on his face. Kenneth doesn't do that, he keeps things in a silent face.

"Konichiwa," Shara replied. She held his face and gently brushed it. "I wonder how it is to have an ototo."

"Eh?" Justin muttered. Shara closed her eyes for a bit, still holding his face.

"Arigato." She muttered under her breath. She opened her eyes and smiled lightly at him. Then, she walked from him. Justin looked at her and smiled.

"Matte!" He shot back. Shara looked back at him and asked.

"Naze?"

"I just want to know, what's bothering you?" Justin asked.

"Eh?" Shara replied in surprise.

"Doshite? Daijoubu?" Justin asked. "You look blank."

"Eh? Daijoubu, goshinpai naku." Shara replied.

"Iie, you're hiding something, what is it?" Justin asked. Shara sighed and looked at the time.

"Hmm, I better go." She said and went to the door. "Ja!" She said and ran to school.

"Bye!" Justin waved.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

"Kenneth, next time, take a bed when you fell asleep in the bathroom!" Li exclaimed.

"Shut up Li and jus run!" Eriol replied.

"Well, I wouldn't be running now if someone hasn't slept in the bathroom." Li shot back.

"…………" (Kenneth)

"Darn!"

……………………………………………………………………after awhile………………………………………………………………………………….

Shara reached school by the left side of the path leading to it, the left turn, then………..

"Onii-chan?" She mumbled. Kenneth, Li and Eriol were from the right part. Kenneth didn't notice her, still feeling irritated and tired. He passed her by running. Shara paused there and looked down.

"Shara?" Li asked.

"Iie." She replied and ran to school.

"I wonder if this is gonna end." Eriol muttered.

"I hope it will."

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Shara, Kenneth, Li and Eriol reached school in time. But, something was very different. Shara sat quietly in her desk and sighed. She didn't get up.

"Ne, what happened to her?" Sakura asked.

"Long story, mainly: Kenneth got angry with her." Li replied.

"Eh? Doshite?" Tomoyo asked.

"That's the long story." Eriol replied back.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

School was still the same old same old for the other students but really different for Shara and Kenneth. Shara and Kenneth kept quiet. Shara just sat on her desk as the school continued. Kenneth didn't mind her at all. He'll fail just because of her. He's also feeling drowsy all the time. He's been scolded in every class he's been in, because of sleeping of. Sakura, Li, Tomoyo and Eriol haven't got the foggiest clue how to patch things up between the two siblings. Kee noticed that her advice didn't go well or Kenneth didn't do it.

"What's wrong with that guy? He seems to quiet than he is. I'll talk to him later, for some reason, I wanna know what happened. But, I usually don't care. Strange…………." Kee thought.

Meanwhile, Christian was thinking a little bit of Kee is, but, for Shara. He was worried. He's an older brother like Kenneth, Sarah's his younger sister, so, he probably wants to help her out too.

"I wonder what's wrong with Shara. She's usually pretty preppy at these times. She would always smile and talk to Li and the others, not, she seems kind of blank. I wonder why. I'll ask her later, if she doesn't mind."

So, will talking to them be the best way or, will it make it worse?

…………………………………………………………………………Lunch Break………………………………………………………………………...

(Remember, these all happened at the same time)

"Kenneth, where are you going?" Li asked, waving at him, offering him a seat. Kenneth looked at the persons seating at it, it includes Shara. He can feel his grip tighten the hold of the pieces of paper in his hands. He calmed to down and sighed.

"Iie, I have to pass a report." He said and walked from them.

"Do you think he's telling the truth?" Sakura asked.

"Dunno, he's got a world of his own." Eriol replied. Shara looked at all of them and stood up.

"I, I have to go too. Something's just……………." Shara said and took her lunch, quickly leaving the group.

"Matte!" Tomoyo exclaimed. But, Shara ran from them, heading somewhere, totally unknown. She was running, not minding where, just running. She didn't care nor notice those who pass by or bump her. Then, she ran across a certain someone.

"Shara?" He muttered. But, she just ran pass by him. "Matte!" He called out and ran after her.

Meanwhile…………

Kenneth was walking to a classroom, to pass his report all messed up. He's gonna fail, he knows it. He walked by when Kee gazed on him.

"I wonder where his going. I better follow." She said and silently went with him, eto……secret agent style.

Kenneth reached the room and passed his report. A female teacher with brown hair let loose and glassed read his report.

"What is this?" She asked, throwing the papers at him.

"It's my report, Ms. Kusama." Kenneth replied, calmly.

"Nani?" She exclaimed to herself. She was Kusama Shardae, most feared teacher especially in being strict. A lot of students are afraid of her. She's strict in almost everything. She also criticizes students very hard that a lot hate her. She's gonna be your least favorite teacher of all. "This is no report lad, this is trash."

"…………"

"So, no excuse, e? You know that I'll be giving you a failing grade here, right?"

"…………….."

"But don't worry, half of your work here are pretty well and keeps improving, you won't fail that bad."

"……….."

"Silent one, e? Give me an excuse. I want it now."

"Eh?"

"Didn't you hear that lad, I want to know why this report you call is just plain trash." Shardae asked. She walked to him and looked at him head to toe. "I've heard a lot about you, de Lavia Kenneth, you have outstanding grade especially in music and theme writing. In my class, I've heard your name a million times from my female students, I've confiscated a lot of love letters just for you. Your teachers admire you too, for being a great student and all. But, what's with your report, it's not what I expected from a student like you."

"……………….."

"Shees, you're a quiet one, you can go now." Shardae exclaimed. "But you know you'll have a failing grade."

Kenneth nodded silently and picked up his report.

"You can throw that trash out of here." Shardae said and walked away from him. "And next time I here your name, I'll tell what kind of trash you make. I don't want lies circling around this campus, Mr. de Lavia, like they say, honesty is the best policy." Kenneth lowered his head and started to walk away. "Demo, goshinapai naku de Lavia, you're a quiet one, I like that." Kenneth didn't listen and walked on. Shardae smirked at this and saw the door closed.

"So, that report, ne?" A familiar voice asked out.

"Eh?" Kenneth replied and looked to where the voice was. He saw a girl with long raven hair and crimson red eyes, standing with her back coolly laid on the wall next to the door.

"You should know better." Kee replied as she straightened up. "So, bad day?"

"Couldn't you guess?" Kenneth asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Not really," Kee replied. "I heard."

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

(Shara's time when Kenneth was passing his report and sutff.)

"Shara?" Christian mumbled when he saw her pass him by. "Wait!" He called out but, she was out of sight. "I better talk to her." He muttered and ran after him. He searched every corner and sight where his eyes can put. "Eh! Kanojo wa doko desu ka!" (-not sure about this)

(Sakura and the others)

"I wonder where Shara went." Tomoyo wondered. "This isn't like them at all."

"Yeah, and neither is Kenneth. They're both acting weird." Sakura added. "Li, Eriol, what happened to them?" Sakura asked.

"Eto………….." Li muttered. Eriol kept silent and looked up to the sky.

"Guys?" Tomoyo asked. Still, there was no answer or response.

"Li, Eriol?" Sakura said once again. Li and Eriol sighed and nodded.

"Kenneth and Shara fought last night." Li replied.

"Nani!" Tomoyo and Sakura shot back.

"sigh I knew you guys would do that." Eriol mumbled.

(Shara and Christian)

Christian searched almost everywhere his feet could follow. Exhausted and panting for air, he decided to stand still for awhile.

"I never thought Shara could run or even walk that fast." He mumbled. "But, I really hope she's fine." (Hmm, if I want to tell you, he doesn't really sound like that, watch out for the really last chapter and you'll know what I'm talking about.)

"Christian?" A familiar voice asked out.

"Eh? Shara?" Christian replied and looked at the girl beside her.

"Hai." She replied with a smile.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

"So, Shara, what were you doing running out like that?" Christian asked.

"Actually, I have…………I have no idea myself………" She muttered out, as a reply.

"Eh?" Christian looked at her. She has her face down and sadness painted, no doubt, her face. He can feel a large amount of doubt and loneliness surrounds her. He sighed and tapped her shoulder. "You can tell me what's wrong. I think I can help."

Shara looked at him, he was smiling again. She felt happiness cover her face, she smiled back as well, but, thoughts of Kenneth was still in her head.

"Demo……."

"Daijoubu, Shara. Tell me what it is."

"(smiles back, much brighter.) Hai."

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
