Chapter 44

Syaoron's POV

Touya nearly fainted when I told him Sakura lived with me, in the same house.

I was practically running back down the stairs to my office.

But at the end I did give him Sakura's and my address. He was on his way there. I was stuck at work, but that was good, if I went home now and Sakura wasn't home, I would be bored out of my mind.

------------- ---------------------

Sakura's POV

"I'm coming!" I yelled as I made my way to the door. Someone was knocking on the door. Today didn't seem like a day I would get any visitors. I was up in my room like always doing my homework.

Before I opened the door I stopped to catch my breath. I gotta start working out, I was out of breath already.

As soon as I opened the door, I came face to face with an unexpected person. It was Touya. What was Touya doing here? Was he going to take me back? How did he get the address?

I was scared to find out what he was doing here, but at the same time I was clad. It's been such a long time since I've seen him, and the last time I saw him wasn't really a good reunion.

"Touya, what are you doing here?" I asked kicking myself out of my own thoughts.

"Let's get out of here for a while." Touya answered. That really wasn't the answer I was looking for by the way.

"What?"

"Come on!" Touya pulled me by my right arm out of the house.

"Touya, wait! Wait!" I yelled as I tried to take his hands off of my right arm.

Touya stopped before going down the stairs and turned around.

"What?"

"I'm not wearing any shoes."

Touya looked down to my feet and laughed sheepishly. He must of have made a fool out of himself. Touya let go of my arm.

"Go find some shoes."

"Geesh Touya, you're so demanding. I wonder how you're ever going to find a girl who won't be afraid of you." I teased and went back inside the house.

I put on my socks and next my shoes. I exit the house and closed the door. I locked it before I went into Touya's car. He was already in the driver side with the car started. Boy was he in a rush today. Why was he though?

"So where are we going?" I asked as we pulled out of the drive way.

"Somewhere." That was his only answer. I guess after all these years Touya haven't change at all.

(Flash Back)

It was my 8th birthday and before he went of somewhere to go to school, he had decided to take me somewhere.

"Touya, where are we going?" I remember asking Touya while he drove out of my parents drive way.

"Somewhere." That was his only answer.

For the rest of the drive there it was quiet, like usually. We never really talked much when we both were in a car together. I guess brother and sister are just made to have nothing in common, especially of you're a decade apart.

I remember it being one of my boring-est ride ever. Why couldn't mom drive us? If it was mom I would be having a fun time already. Mom was someone who would talk about almost everything, just as long as it was appropriate. But Touya! Ergh, I don't know what's wrong with him, but he prefers quiet. No wonder he never had a girlfriend. I wouldn't want to date someone who wanted peace and quiet every time we went out.

It was so boring that I actually fell asleep. I slept the whole ride to our destination.

(End of Flash Back)

Touya's POV

Just like that day before I left Sakura and my parents to go to school in the states, Sakura fell asleep on the way there. I hope she still liked the place I was taking her.

Ten years a really long time, but some times, not much changes occur. I just hope her taste in things didn't change just yet.

We only a block away from Sakura's favorite place as a little kid. As I turned into the parking spots I looked for a parking space. There were quite a lot of people here today, but luckily there were a few parking space.

I quickly parked in one of the spaces near the entrance.

"Sakura..." I nudged her on the shoulder trying to wake her up.

"Five more minutes." I couldn't help it but laugh to myself. She always thought she was in bed every time she fell asleep. One proof to some thing that never changed.

"Sakura, we're here." I nudged her again.

"Fine, two more minutes." She continued sleeping. Boy I wonder how Syaoron woke her up before school started.

I leaned back on my seat. If you haven't notice it yet, I'm quite impatient.

I unbuckle my seat belt and turned towards Sakura again. "Yah, Sakura, wake up right now!" I yelled.

"Geesh Touya!" Sakura jumped up from her seat and with her hands plucked her ears.

With her eyes half closed she scowled at me.

"We're here." I gave her a fake smile and exit out of my car.

I went to her door side as she was just about to exit the car also.

As soon as Sakura slammed the door shut I locked the door with the little car remote I had with my keys. I stuck the keys in my pockets.

"Come on. Let's go."

"Where are we?" Sakura asked still not knowing where we were. How long does it take Sakura to realize where she is?

"OMG! BIRDIE'S ARCADE!" Before I even started walking towards the arcade, Sakura was already running towards it and I mean very fast too. That game freak.

A smiled creeped onto my lips and I followed her inside. Ten years is a long time, but people really don't change at all.

"Touya, let's play some basket ball!" That was the first thing Sakura wanted to play. Not to be mean, but even though she sucked at it, she always wanted to play. At least she got a couple of tickets to get a prize afterwards right?

I inserted a five dollar bill into the token machine. A bunch of them came out and I set it in my pockets. No way was I going to give all of them to Sakura. Who knows how crazy she would go if I gave all of this to her.

I put in two tokens and about six basketballs rounded in towards us.

Sakura of course, shot first, and of course she missed.

I went second, being the pro I was I didn't miss.

"Hey, that's not fair at all! You're way taller than me!" Sakura didn't see too happy about me making a hoop. Who told her not to practice. Now if you think about it, is it really my fault or hers?

We got probably ten tickets from the basketball game, which isn't a lot by the way.

Sakura wanted some pizza so we were sitting near the eating area and waiting on our food. I hope it wasn't a long wait because honestly I was hungry also. I don't think I've eaten anything this morning. We sat across from each other.

"So Touya, are you seeing anyone?" Sakura spoke first after our order.

"No..." I meant it too.

"Thought so."

"What? Why?" Did she think I couldn't get a girl? She'll just have to wait and see then. I'll prove her wrong.

"You're still mean." Sakura said it flat out.

"What? Hey, who's buying you pizza?"

"So, are you departing again?"

I looked up at her surprised. How did she know?

"I know because you took me here last time before you went off to the states."

Sakura really caught me off guard. I didn't know what to say now. I wasn't expecting her to know so soon. I was thinking about telling her myself at the end of the day, but I guess Sakura finding out for herself was probably a good thing.

"When were you going to tell me?" Sakura asked seriously.

"I was planning on telling you went I dropped you off home."

Sakura didn't say anything afterwards. She sat there in silent not saying anything. It seemed like she was trying to see if she should believe me or not. I really was going to tell her at the end of th day and not let Syaoron do all the talking.

"When are you leaving?" Sakura asked still in the serious tone of hers.

"I'm leaving tomorrow."

"So soon?" Sakura seemed like she was about to jump out of her seat. "Where are you going to live?"

"New York."

"New York." She repeated. If I looked closely at her, she looked really hurt. I was beginning to feel guilty now. I didn't want her to think her only family left was trying to escape from her. That wasn't what I was planning at all.

"When are you coming back?" Sakura seemed to be on the verge of tears. Her head was facing downwards.

"I'm not sure. I'm going to open up another company there."

"Oh..." Sakura continued looking down. I was beginning to feel even more guilt than a moment ago.

"Sakura..." I moved in a seat near her.

She was crying silently. I didn't want this to affect her so greatly. I wasn't going to run out of her life or anything. I was going to comeback in a couple of years.

If I didn't think that Syaoron could take good care of Sakura, then I would of have taken Sakrua with me too. Taking her with me was the plan a couple of weeks ago at Syaoron's father's annual ball. Knowing that there was someone else here who was willing to take scarifies for Sakura and do anything for Sakura made me rethink twice. She was happy here and she also had school. I couldn't take her away from the happiness that had only started.

"Don't cry." I smoothed her back.

The pizza was brought to our table at the same time. The waitress left quietly knowing not to interrupt.

"I'll come back, I promise. And I know you'll be happy. You've got Syaoron. All this years you've been doing great without me, I'm not going out of your life, I'll defiantly come back. I swear."

Sakura finally looked up with a tear stain face. She force a small smile and quickly wiped her tears away with the back of both her hands. She sniffed.

"I know I'll be fine. It's hard to see the only family I have left leave that's all." Sakura spoke softly with a hint of crying.

"Every thing's going to be okay." Sakura nodded.
