It was a lovely morning and I was feeling great after a wonderful night of sleep. Mom was good and nothing has happened so I was not so worried of going out for some time. Today was my father, Touya and Yukito's 8th death anniversary and still I was glad it was a lovely day.

After making sure everything in the house was ok I took off to a district near Osaka named Tomoeda. It was where we had loved.

A quiet and peaceful town.

We had to move after they had died.

I stopped by the florist before going to their graves.

The bell tinkled as I pushed against the door. It was a merry land of colours inside with flowers of various specimens. I walked around admiring the blooms and picked up a few white nadeshiko, lilies-of-the-valley, and roses.

It was their favourites.

As I walked towards the counter, I saw a beautiful girl that looked amazingly like my mother. She had the same silky ebony hair and high cheekbones with the pointed chin. I stared at her for quiet a long time and it seemed that she noticed. She gave me a polite but friendly smile as I quickly averted my eyes and turned me head to hide my blush for being caught staring. I hurried to the counter to have my flowers wrapped up in three different bunches as I was aware of her presence behind me.

A soft and melodic voice sounded and I tu8rned my head to answer her.

" Are you from anywhere around here?"

" No….. I'm from Tokyo."

" Oh, what's the occasion then?" She asked smiling so brightly that it almost seemed like the sun was shining right in front of me.

I lowered my head as the sudden onslaught of emotion rushed forward but I managed a small smile of my own. " it's my family's death anniversary." Yukito was considered my family too, my brother.

" Oh, I'm so sorry." Her voice sounded truly sincere in my lost.

"It's ok, it has been quite a long time now. What about you?"

"It's my father's death anniversary." She said with a smile. I was about to apologise when she stopped me.

" It's OK, I don't really remember him anyway, I was 2 when he died. " I nodded and faced the lady at the counter when she called me. After paying for my flowers, I left with the lady since there was only a tiny cemetery in Tomoeda.

The walk there was quiet with the occasional breeze.

" So, I didn't get your name there….."

I awoke from my day dreaming. It's been a long time since I was this relaxed.

I smiled and stretched my hand taking her hand in a firm grip.

' Kinomoto Sakura. Age 19. Tokyo U."

" Daidouji Tomoyo. Age 19. Also, studying in Tokyo U."

"Wow, really, what course are you taking?"

" ?"

" Majoring in Physchology, minoring in Arts."

" We should meet up for lunch sometime." My smile flickered a little.

" Yeah…maybe."

We continued our journey , walking through the small gate, I reached their graves. I saw Daidouji-san a little further up where the graves were more extravagant.

Silently, I put down the three bouquets of flowers. They were sleeping side by side. I used my hand to brush aside some leaves and dust.

Hey, pops. Long time no talk. How are you doing? Mom's… not so bad I guess. I'm fine too. I'm finally in Tokyo U. Isn't it great? Don't worry too much about us. We are doing well. Enjoy it up there.

My gaze travelled to the grave beside father's. The corners of my mouth lifted a little as I traced the name.

Kinomoto Touya

Yo, bro. Kaijuu's here to see you. Again, I haven't seen you in awhile, have I? I'm in Tokyo U. now. Too bad you couldn't go, huh….How's it up there? Hope you like it. Mom's good enough too, so don't worry too much.

I knew that telling him to not worry as much is a feat too impossible.

Then it was my childhood crush. It seemed a distant memory now, when I would blush at the mere sight of him.

Hi, Yukito. Long time no talk. I really miss you ,you know? I miss your laugh, the teddy bear cookies…How cruel is it, huh? Hope you're doing great. Don't worry about us, tell Touya that eh, he's always a worrier and so overprotective too.

As I sat reminiscing, it was a grief too deep.

Because they were mine once. Mine to cherish, to love, to care. Now they were a hope up there.

I know that they will be watching over us. I know that they will always be in our hearts till the day we die. All of these, I have known and acknowledge. It was just that.

I looked at them one last time before softly whispering.

" Goodbye, I'll see you next year. I'll take care of mom and myself, I promise. "

I turned and joined Tomoyo who was waiting at the gate. The walk back to the bus stop was silent and kind of sad.

We were grieving again.

Just this once every year, then we would have to push it back to the back of our minds. It wouldn't do to live with the grief and I was sure that those who love us wouldn't be happy seeing us living in misery.

But just this once, let us remember and feel.

Just …this once.

So please~~~~ review? tell me about it. For now Tomoyo will be there~ XD
