Chapter 4: Letter

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

(Three years later)

Sakura ran to the dining hall, were all the orphans sat together and ate their dinner, wanting to find Tomoyo and Syaoran.

Once there, Sakura spotted Tomoyo and Syaoran with Rika and the gang. Walking over to the group, she saw that they had saved her the usual spot.

"Sakura! Where have you been? We looked everywhere and couldn't find you." Tomoyo said.

Flushed from the long run, Sakura sat down and looked at the whole group.

"Well," Sakura announced. "I got a letter. And you all know that that's a big deal. Not many of us here get mail."

"Give us the news. We want the news, not the fact of everyday orphan life." Chiharu said, impatient as always.

"Okay, okay." Sakura got into a more comfortable position and looked around the group once more. "Well, I got this letter." Sakura took out the letter and waved it around.

"And?" Chiharu prompted.

"I got a letter."

"We know that already! What else?"

Sakura smiled, knowing what could make her group of friends impatient.

"Well, that's it. I got a letter."

"What? You're not going to tell us?" Naoko said.

Sakura looked at them and said as innocently as she could manage, "Tell you what?"

"Tell us what was in that letter!" Chiharu yelled.

Laughing, Sakura rubbed her stomach. "Okay! Just give me a few moments so I could catch my breath."

"Tell us now!"

"Yeah! I want to hear! Give us the news already."

"Okay, then let's hear Tomoyo and Syaoran's opinion."

Sakura stopped laughing and looked over at Tomoyo and Syaoran. They had gotten used to Sakura's teasing. They knew why she teased.

"Syaoran, what do you say? Would you like to know what was in the letter?"

Syaoran lifted the corners of his lips and said casually, "I do not care what is in that letter of yours. It is yours and your business only, and none of mine."

"See?" Sakura said to Chiharu and Naoko. Looking at Tomoyo, Sakura asked, "And Tomoyo, do you care to know what is in this letter of mine? Hmm?"

"No. I agree with Syaoran. Like what he said, it is yours and your business only, and none of mine." Tomoyo smiled.

"There you go." Sakura got up. "Well, I have to go to my rooms. I'll see you all later."

"Ahh! Sakura! Tell us!"

"Nope!"

Later

Sakura waited in her rooms for Tomoyo and Syaoran. She knew that they were interested in the letter she had gotten, but they didn't show it. It was always a game they played, never showing your real emotions to others.

The door of her room clicked open, announcing Tomoyo and Syaoran's arrival. Tomoyo waited until Syaoran had closed the door behind him to speak.

"So, what was in the letter?"

"Don't you want to know who sent it?" Sakura asked.

"No. I just want to know what's in it." Tomoyo said sarcastically.

Syaoran looked at the two girls and smiled, knowing that he needn't say a thing. "…"

Sakura put on her dreaming look and said, also in a dreaming voice, "Well, it's from Kanako this time. She said that they're having fun, baking and selling loaves of bread. Sure hope that it's true."

"Come on! On with the real reason they wrote." Tomoyo complained.

Sakura took on a more serious look. "Okay, okay. They...they said thatthey...umm...might have found my brother."

This got Syaoran's attention. "What? They might have found your brother?"

Sakura nodded.

"What does that mean?" Tomoyo asked.

"Well," Sakura thought to herself for a while. "I don't really know myself, but...that might mean that we are going to leave this place.I don't know. Maybe.And…and maybe…" Sakura's voice trailed off. Though Sakura was happy that Touya might still be alive, she didn't want what was going to happen.

A quiet silence went through the three of them. They knew what would happen if Kanako and the others really had found Touya. War.
