T E A R – S T A I N E D

Day after day, night after night… There was no end.


Yukito always said I had a sister complex.

It's true, but you don't hear me admitting it.

She's my little sister.

I'm wasn't going to let the gaki take her away.

He broke her heart, even though he loved her too.

I hate you, Li Syaoran.

~:~*~:~

I'm her brother, goddammit.

The one with the sister complex.

I see her smile.

Pssh.

It's fake.

Without a doubt.

In a way, she seems happy she can't talk.

Can't face us and tell what's wrong.

What happened to that happy smile?

~:~*~:~

Gaki. I hate you.

Nobody else does, but I do.

I hate you so much.

For taking away my sister.

For breaking her without even wanting to.

You doesn't deserve her.

Neither do I.

~:~*~:~

Sakura…

Did you ever realize I had a sister complex?

I'm not sure.

We all love you. Family, friends.

The center of our universe.

The pillar that lets us stand up.'

Corny, yes.

But it's true.

When you fall, we all do.

~:~*~:~

Nadeshiko… Mom.

You look a lot like her, Sakura.

Dad's breaking.

Your eyes…

You look so unhappy.

Wait.

For us.

Dad, me.

Tomoyo.

Even the gaki, if you must.

If you left…

We-

~:~*~:~

Why are you smiling like that?

I think we're all broken.

I think-

Oh. The gaki.

Comes in.

You stare at him.

It's all his fault.

Why are you still in love?

Damn.

Sakura…

If it makes you that happy.

I'll let you go.

~:~*~:~

Feels like I'm wandering around aimlessly.

Something's wrong.

You look… angrily determined.

What?

What now?

I think you need to cool off.

I don't think I'm helping you at all.

I'll leave for a bit.

Be right back.

Be okay when I come back.

~:~*~:~

Sakura…?

Is that you?

That's a lie.

You-

No.

I refuse.

Your eyes…

You won't be able to walk anymore.

Stomp on my foot.

I…

~:~*~:~

You'll never know.

That I cried every single day and night.

I'm not supposed to cry.

I'm your older brother.

The one that's supposed to be strong for you.

I wash my face every time before I see you.

I look into the mirror.

See my tear-stained cheek.

I look so pitiful.

Sakura.

You won't listen to anyone.

Stupid gaki.

Hasn't even talked to you yet.

~:~*~:~

Are you going to cry?

If you are, I don't know what I'll do.

Tears coming out of those large, blank, green eyes that used to laugh at me.

Gaki.

Talk to her.

Or else.

Because you're the only one she'll listen to now.

I don't beg.

But, just this once…

Please.

~:~*~:~

You're my sister.

Sakura.

My only sister.

Syaoran.

She loves you a lot, you know.

You break her heart again, there's going to be a lot of people after your blood.

She loves you so much.

Gaki…

I'll say this only one time.

Thank you.


No more tears.

I won't cry anymore.

For you, my little sister.

I need to be strong.
