Fujitaka Kinomoto wove his way through the maze of desks and cubicles in the staff room. He was always the first lecturer to reach there early almost everyday. A female student named Kana trailed him, holding a metal file with pieces of written notes attached to it. "The outing-"

"Ah yes. I want all the students involve to gather for another meeting today after class." He responded distractedly.

Fujitaka Kinomoto was a professor in Koei University, one of the top Universities in Japan. He teaches Archeology and had started working as a paid crew member on archeological digs to gain more experience.

Kana immediately scribbles the new information on the paper. "And how about the equipments Prof?" She asks flipping the papers back and forth quickly. Fujitaka stopped and turned sideways eyeing her.

"Kana-san, you are the president of the Archeological Society. You shouldn't ask this." He smiled sweetly making her blush like a little girl. He turned back and started walking.

"Yes Prof. Kinomoto," She sighed looking at her watch. "Guess our conversation's over then."

Fujitaka didn't answer back because he had paused at the desk where Satoshi Ken, the staff administrator, sat while picking his nose as he talked on the phone. Oh boy. Ken was supposed to work for him, among others but somehow he always made him feel as if he was the one working for Ken. Fujitaka waited politely. He tried to catch Ken's eye. He cleared his throat.

Ken continued to ignore him. "What the-but how could that be!?" He merely yelled at the person on the phone. Let's hope that whoever that person was, he'd better put the phone away from his ear as far as possible-if he wants to save his hearing sense. Fujitaka tried waving.

Ken responded with an irritable look on his face before telling his caller to hold on. He covered his mouthpiece and glared at him. "What?"

"Letters?"

Ken rolled his eyes as he snatched up an A4 size light brown envelope and held it out to him.

"Eden College..." Fujitaka spelled the almost huge red letters printed on the envelope. He reached out and took it by one tiny corner hoping that he wouldn't get Ken's germs all over him. Ken swiveled in his chair as soon as Fujitaka took it, returning to his obviously important phone call. "Are you sure?" he shrieked. "It can't be. No way-"

Fujitaka sighed. He hates to admit that working as a lecturer in a University is a lot more stressful than working as an archeologist. His job is all about passion and patience. Certain times can be tough such as grading papers till he vomits blood but he didn't mind at all because he loves sharing knowledge. That makes him feel good.

He trudged towards his desk, eyes not leaving the envelope. Sakura is going to be excited about this. He smiled as he sat down. Everything was in order as usual. He was ready to face another day. Fujitaka jerked from his chair when the door burst open, seeing Sakura exploded into the room. Ken noticed Sakura and smiles flirtatiously at her but she only gave him a warm smile in return.

"Dad! Any news?" Sakura gushed.

Fujitaka was used to it, as he sighed but didn't blink. Sakura took a deep breath and lets it out slowly. She picked up the envelope from his father's desk after he pointed at it.

Doesn't anyone say hello anymore? He wondered.

"Fujitaka Kinomoto, thank you for sending us a letter regarding the acceptance of..." Sakura reads out loud but her voice soon died down as she reads the rest of the letter. "Oh-my-god." Sakura collapsed into the chair across from her father's desk and pouted.

"So?" He asked putting both elbows on the desk. Not good- Fujitaka thought as he looked at her daughter. He sweatdropped when Sakura suddenly stands up and hugs him squeezing every breath of air out of him.

"Dad! I'm in!" Sakura squeals letting his dad go. He adjusts his glasses.

"I'm happy for you Sakura." Fujitaka smiled.

"If it wasn't for you dad, I would never go to Eden College." He shook his head.

"The Japanese professor there was impressed with all your certificates and testimonials. You deserve it."

"But I have to leave you and bro for 2 years!" Sakura said with a pout.

"2 years will be over before you can even think about it." He assured her.

Sakura gave her dad a you've-got-to-kidding-me stare but somehow deep inside her she agreed with him. Her mother died when she was just three years old. She's seventeen now but she can still remember her mother as if she had just died yesterday. Yes. That's how fast time flies. Sakura closed her eyes and smiled thinking about her mother.

"Thanks dad. You're the best father I've ever had." Fujitaka chuckled after Sakura gave him a quick peck on his cheek. "I'm going off to see bro now." Sakura waved before heading towards the door. Ken shamelessly winked at her but only to find her laughing before leaving the room.

Best father? I'm the only father you've ever had Sakura.

Sakura walked along the quiet corridors knowing that most of the students have gone to homeroom before beginning their classes. Touya hates homeroom class so she had figured it out that he must be somewhere around the campus.

"Sakura-san! " She stopped and turned around when a familiar voice called her from a distance.

"Yukito...kun." A blush crept over her cheeks as he dashed towards her.

"So?" Yukito asked impatiently.

"So?"

"I mean-did you get it?"

"Get what?" Yukito raises an eyebrow. "Oh! That. Yes I got in!" Sakura answered in a high pitch tone. Yukito gave a light hug to congratulate her. "Have you seen my brother?"

"Nope." Yukito shrugged. This can only mean one thing.

"Homeroom class-" Both answered at the same time before bursting out in laughter.

"Touya is going to be ecstatic when he knows about this. What happened Sakura?" He asked after seeing the change of expression on her face.

"Nothing. I was just thinking that, you know since I'm going to Eden, I might not know if I'll ever get accepted to the team." Sakura sighed. "I'm short, I'm small and I'm not strong. I might get bullied or even thrown at the corner of the basketball court." She said bitterly at the fact. Yukito puts both his hands on her shoulders and looked through her emerald eyes.

"Hey-" He started. "You've got talent. You're fast and agile. You might be small but you don't need to have a big body to play this game. There are a lot of ways on how small people play. Skills or experience don't always win the game. All you need is determination and will. You kicked all the basketball players' butts in Junior High right?" Sakura chuckled at his question and nods.

"Yea even the guys." Yukito snickered.

"That's more than good enough and don't let them get to you Sakura. Get me?" Yukito asked in a brotherly tone.

"Uhm." Sakura nodded. The bell rang indicating the beginning of the first period.

"I've got to go Sakura. See you." He waves at her before disappearing to the corner.

"I'm back-" Touya yelled before heading towards the living room.

"I'm here onii-san!" Sakura waved frantically from the kitchen. Her right hand holding a wooden spatula and her right hand the handle of a pan.

"What's for dinner?" He asked glancing through the plates of ingredients on the kitchen counter.

"Beef steak. Your favorite." She replied moving the steak around in the pan.

"Smells good." He smiled. "And don't forget to put a little bit more black pepper. Sankyuu." He added.

"Roger and out." Sakura giggles as she reaches for salt and pepper on the spices rack.

"Hey squirt. Dad told me you got accepted." Sakura gritted her teeth at the word 'squirt'.

"I've told you thousand of times before don't ever call me squirt again!" She swung the spatula on his brother's head but he manages to duck low-as usual. "Uh-uh not this time bro!" She growled as she stomps his left foot. Touya didn't anticipate that move. "Ho ho ho" Sakura laughs evilly looking at him pitifully.

"Hey that hurts quite a lot ya' know." Touya whined as he sits on the chair both hands on his left foot.

She turned her attention back to cooking. "Well you deserve it." She retorted but in a sad tone.

"W-what? This is suppose to be good news right?" Touya eyed at her.

"Yes it's but the bad news is that I'm leaving this Friday night. I might not have time to make extra arrangements and meet-ups." Sakura replied bitterly.

"Hey-Dad saved you the time to find you a place over there."

Sakura looked at her brother cheerfully. "Wow. Really?" She squeals. He sure gets the work done fast ne? Sakura wondered.

"Yes. He somehow got help from his friend who has her son and niece in the same College as you."

Sakura blinked at Touya like as if he knows what was on her mind. "Freshmen?"

"Yup."

"First year?" She asked confirming for the second time.

Touya sighed. "Ditto."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It's Friday night and Sakura was about to leave. Her dad, her brother and Yukito escorted her to the airport. Sakura badly wanted to talk to Yukito about something-well actually there's really nothing to talk about but she knew she will have to say it now or never. She has a confession to make.

Sakura hugged his dad tightly tears from her eyes flooded her vision. "Bye dad. I'll promise to call you everyday ok?"

Fujitaka gently rubbed her daughter's back. "You are going to do fine Sakura." She nodded and wiped her tears.

"Hey squirt. If there's anything wrong just call me and I'll be there." Sakura's overprotective brother said while hugging her. Sakura stomps his foot but he dodged it-as expected. Sakura smiled evilly when he jumps on him and gave a big wet kiss on his cheek.

"Eww you're going to get your saliva all over my face you monster!" Sakura giggles as he shrugged her off.

Sakura blushed as she turned to look at Yukito, who is beside Touya. Sakura plucked up her courage to talk.

Yukito smiled sweetly hugging her. "Have a save trip Sakura-san."

"Ano Y-Yukito-kun?" Sakura started.

"Yes?"

Sakura tried to tell him but she's got her tongue tied and somehow couldn't bring the words out. She shook her head and gave a reluctant smile. "Erm nothing at all."

Sakura kissed Yukito's cheek before heading towards the check-in point. (It's a boundary where only the passengers with the air tickets can pass through to get to the airplane.) Stupid tongue. Sakura told herself. Maybe she can tell him after two years. Or maybe she can call him. Or maybe she wasn't meant to tell him how she felt about him. Maybe. Sakura blow kisses to the three men and gave her last wave.

Sakura sighed and casually strolled away. "Eden College... Here I come."

"You don't know how she looks like Meilin?" The young raven-haired Japanese girl asked the Chinese girl beside her.

The black hair girl shook her head as she opened the fridge. "No Tomoyo. Auntie Yelen only told me she's a Japanese and she's a freshman just like us." She pouted. "Hey- Where's my leftover peach buns in the fridge?"

"I threw it away," The girl with short brown hair replied timidly as she uncomfortably adjusts her glasses.

"B-But Naoko-" Meilin started to whine when her friend interrupted her.

"That bloody thing smells awful. I have to make her throw it away." She explained rolling her eyes. "I doubt it's been in there for quite a while now." She added while running her hand on her short wavy hair.

"R-Rika..." Meilin growled at Naoko's 'partner in crime'.

Another Japanese girl with two high ponytails looked disgustingly at Meilin as she sat on the kitchen counter. "Eww-"

Tomoyo, Naoko, Rika and Chiharu just stared at Meilin. Then Meilin suddenly remembered something and the next thing she knew she was blurting out what was on her mind. "She's a basketball player."

Author's note: So what do you think about it? I didn't write about the location of the Eden College because I'm the one who make it look like it's not in Japan xD So I need you guys to help me out and determine where should Eden College be located. Hong Kong? USA? You decide!

It would be an honor for me if you guys could contribute the character names in this fic but please state if the names that you suggested should be the good character or the bad character sweatdrops
