"Precious"

Author's note:
Moshi-moshi, minna-san! Konichiwa! (Or Ohayoogoizaimasu, maybe? It depends when you actually read this). O genki desuka? First of all, thank you for Piggy ho-ho san, (if you decided to) for putting my fanfic on your site. Doumo arigatogozaimasu, for even bother to move your fingers and click on this story. This story is something that I've wanted to write since the first time I read CCS. A story about the cool and sweet big brother of the main character, and his undying love for the main character's all time best friend who is, (As we all know) a kawaii and tottemo kirei musume. This is my second fic that I write, but the first one that I've ever actually submit to a site (if, this site actually wanna put my fic in it). So I kinnda want some comments on it. If you have anything, ANYTHING you want to say, write, or throw at me, please! Be my guess! I'll be happy to write, say, or throw you back. I am so proud of myself for finishing this story. Coz I've wrote many, many story and only 5% or maybe 3% of it is actually fully written (A lot of it are just stuck inside my head.) Oh yeah, you don't have to worry; I CAN stand high temperature so it'll be all right for you to throw me flames. And I don't mind avalanches of rotten foods, either.
Oh yeah, if you like CLAMP, or at least CCS, or any other anime, please, do write to me. I would thrill to have someone who is an otaku too (Just like me) as an online friend. And if you have any idea for a fanfic story, you can share it with me. I take requested story to write. (But I have to be interested to the idea first, so pursuit me).
Oh, I almost forgot. I would like to thank my friend Diva, for encourage me to actually finish what I've started, and for helping me with those beautiful vocab that you gave me. Thakx, Diva! You're da' best! And for Piggy Ho-Ho, for letting me submit this, and for Cherry-Chan, wherever you are, if you read this, thanx for everything. You know what you've done! And last, but absolutely not the least, I would like to say arigato, again for reading this. Do write me back.
E-mail me at: takaraikarin@catcha.com
And call me Karin-chan, or something like that. Takarai-chan is just too formal.
Hey, I forgot something! Oh yeah, this story happens when Sakura is in 10th grade, she's 15 years old, and Syaoran-sama is there in Tomoeda. He stays in Japan coz I want him to. Oh, okay, I'll top babbling then so you can actually start with the story. Well then carry on! Ja matta! See you later! Enjoy!

Disclaimer:
Yeah, I know it you know it; I do not own the CCS. So can you just stop pushing me? It's hard enough for me to realize that CCS is not mine without you bugging me like that. I know, I know, and it hurts, ya' know! I only own the bitchy little Asuka-san, and Professor Kawamura, and OF COURSE, Syaoran-sama! Everybody knows that! (Yeah, I wish!) So don't sue me! Oh, and I don't own the song 'Mou kimi igai ai senai', either. It's owned by the dynamic duo Kinki Kids, of course.

Well, on to the fic!
"Precious"
By Takarai Karin-chan.

It has been quite a while since that young man opened his eyes from last night's rest. But not a single inch he moves since the second he's awake until now. Something is bothering his mind.
'Today is the very day she left,' He sighed. 'It's been five years since she disappeared from my life.' The young man force himself to get up and walk to the bathroom. 'And she has took my heart away with her ever since…' He sighed once more before closing the bathroom door and having a morning wash up before he goes to his campus.
Not too long after, a girl came by. She stops in front of the young man's room and yell out.
"Hey, Niisan! Breakfast's ready! Aren't you suppose to go to the campus early?!"
"No, I'm not suppose to do that, and don't yell like that Kaijuu! You'll tear this house apart!"
"Sakura's not a Kaijuu!!" The girl yelled back and started the ordinary early morning quarrel. She rushed back to the kitchen, finding her father tossing omelets and she smiled at her beloved father.
"Is Touya coming down, Sakura?"
"Yes, he is, toosan. But he's kinnda weird this morning. He's pretty un-genki today. He always like that every once in a while. Do you know why, toosan?"
"It has been his habit since he lost his precious."
Sakura doesn't understand at all what her toosan is saying. Touya came down and sit at the chair.
"You're not late today, Kaijuu?" Ask Touya.
"Nope. I woke up early cause Syaoran-kun is going to pick me up today. And I'm not a Kaijuu." Said Sakura, tying up her shoelaces.
Ding-Dong. Ding-Dong.
"Oops, that's Syaoran-kun! I'm going, toosan, niisan! And I'll be late this afternoon; I'm going to pick up somebody at the airport. Itekimasu!"
"Who's she going to pick up?" Asked Touya. But his toosan doesn't know it either. In return, he stares at Touya deeply. He's worried.
"Are you all right, musuko? It has been five years now, I feel as terrible as you are when she's gone, Touya. I've been raising her since she was still a baby."
"Yes, I realize that toosan, I do remembered when she came along." -But it still been a long and lonely six years for me-. Touya thought.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~<flash back>~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It was fifteen years a go, a young mother came home from the hospital, bringing a black haired baby girl, who's very gorgeous. She came to the world and she made all of the people surrounded her falls for her. She took their heart away. Especially her oniisan's heart. The little boy felt amaze by the beauty of the incredible creature in front of him. He delicately reaches his little sister and with his heart beating so fast, he touched the little angel. He looked closely at her. Her deep eyes, her hair's scent, her soft lips, and her smile. And it took his breath away just by looking at the figure of that little angel. He has fallen deeply for her.
He calls her 'precious'.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~<end of flash back>~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Touya walks out to the terrace. He twirls his keys and starts to turn on his car. He waited for the engine to heat on, and then he came out from the car, opens the front door, and yell out to his otoosan.
"Toosan, I'm leaving! Itekimasu!"
"Yes, do be careful, Touya." Touya closes the door and get in to his car. The front door opens once more. His otoosan yelled out.
"Sent my regards to professor Kawamura!" He waves at his eldest child that is a child no more, wishing him a good day. And then he goes back inside the house. He looked at the clock. He still got plenty of time to go to the university. And then he realizes the presence of his beloved -late- wife.
"Nadeshiko, you came." He smiled to the floating heavenly angel in front of him.
"Yes, I feel that there is something on your mind, what is the matter?"
"I am worry about Touya, he hasn't forgot. Not a single thing about what happened."
"You mean about the lovely child? Yes, of course, I too haven't forgot at all. I do love her, even though the reality speaks differently. We do not own the child." Nadeshiko flew over, following her husband into the kitchen. " I understand that, dear." He replied.
"But, we a have sweet and kind hearted daughter in return. Both of them are special. They aren't comparable. And I love them all. The one that I gave birth to, and the one that I raise, even tough that one aren't with us anymore." Said Nadeshiko again. Fujitaka smiled at her as she kisses his cheek. " You don't have to worry about Touya. He will have something that would change him back soon. Very soon." And then she disappeared after having a last glance at her beloved.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Touya is walking in the university's corridor when something shocks him. For a second he thought that he's seeing his precious when he saw a black-purple long lock in a distance.
Suddenly a wave of nostalgic air hit him and made him flows in the sea of memory.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~<flash back>~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Touya-kun!! What do you mean you don't want to dance with me at the school's anniversary party?! I've already told everybody that you would!!"
"That is non of my concern, Asuka-san. I have said that I wont go to the party."
"But why in the world?! The whole school's been expecting it!"
"I only dance with someone I like, Asuka-san."
"Someone that you like?! You mean your IMOOTO Tomoyo-chan, do you?!"
Touya shocked.
"Don't look so surprised, Touya-kun, it's just so… obvious,.." She teased with a part of jealousy in her voice. "But you should know, Touya-kun, she STILL IS your sister. You can't like her! That's just prohibited! It's not right, Touya-kun!" She smiled viciously. She feels that she's winning. She just couldn't take being rejected by anybody, especially Touya.
Touya just stared at her with a part angry-part devastated look in his eyes. Asuka felt a little shocked when she saw the sadness in his eyes. She didn't thought it will hurt him that much.
"I know…" Touya whispered desperately. Asuka feels the guilt strokes at her. -Anata no hitomi, kanashi desu. - And it came harder when Touya walks away.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~<end of flash back>~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Touya sighed. That is so not a good memory to remember. Now he knows that she doesn't have the same blood with him. He thought that now he can have her. But faith is uncontrollable and not to mention unpredictable. She's far away now. Across the ocean, untouchable. He can just wish that he could see her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Fujitaka is in his office he just finish giving today's lecture to his students. He's looking for his student last semester's grade data on the bottom of the filing cabinet. But instead of finding the data, he founds a picture frame with somebody's picture in it. He picks it up, and he looks at it. A smile appears in his face. He's looking at a photo of Touya and the once a daughter of him. Touya is standing behind a beautiful little girl with long black-purpled hair, placing his hands around the girl's waist.
-At the time I actually saw her again, she's not a little girl anymore. But she still is kirei, at least that what I saw when I looked at her recent photograph Sonomi send me- Fujitaka smiles wider. -I wonder when I can see her again, or at least Touya. It will be good for him. He's the one that's been taking it the hardest- and then his smile disappeared, as he remembered what had happened five years a go.

~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~<flash back>~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"She what? …"
"Yes Touya, it has been a mistake since they were born. There's a major problem at the hospital, and because Sakura was in a weak condition and she had to stay at the hospital back then, and Tomoyo was born premature and she too had to stay at the hospital, when we came to brought our daughter back, well…"
"…They were conversed… " Touya said with a weak voice.
"Yes, that's true." His otoosan replied.
"Touya, I'm sorry…" He heard the voice of his obasan Sonomi. Touya held up his head, looking at his obasan's red eyes, and the tears that left mark on her cheek. He then realizes everybody is as sad and as disappointed as he is. He tried to say some comforting words to his obasan, but no voice could come out from his throat. His mouth is dry. He doesn't felt that good. He once again forced himself to raise his head, and then he looked at each and everyone in the room. His otoosan with the disappointment pictured on his face, his obasan Sonomi with her eyes soaked with tears, his itooko Sakura that look confused and surprised, and… his precious, the one that he thought was his sister all of this time, the one that looked so pale and vulnerable right then. She opens her eyes after for a whole minute she tries to control her tear from falling down, and looked at Touya who looked back at her. It felt like an eternity, when suddenly the voice of Fujitaka broke the silence.
"Sonomi-san, when will you be departed?" He asked seriously.
"I think it will be this month, Tomoyo said that she needs time to settle things out. With the court, the school, and… stuff." She took a glance at her oi Touya I will help her out, and after we done, we will leave."
Touya looked at his obasan with a confused look on his face. -Wha…what are they saying? Leave? Where? - He then forced himself to ask. He was afraid of the answer, but it had to be done.
"Ano…what do you mean by leaving… Obasan Sonomi?" He asked with an undertone and uncertain voice. He didn't even looked at his obasan in the eyes.
Sonomi looked like she just realized that Touya doesn't have a clue about what would happen. She looks at Fujitaka, uncertain whether or not they have to tell Touya. Fujitaka nodded, agreeing to tell Touya. -He has the right-, thought Fujitaka. -It's a matter that concerns the once a sister of him-. Sonomi took a deep breath; looking for the best way to tells her oi. She decided to be plain and forward.
"You see Touya, I've been planning on moving to England with my daughter since last year. And then this happened, and now I have to organize everything all over again for my departure with my daughter…Tomoyo." She added carefully, afraid of the reaction.
Touya feels like the world is tumbling down… on his head. He felt his head spinning. The rotation made him feels nauseous. But it wont stopped. His throat doesn't feel good, but he still tries to speak with a husky voice.
"…I see…" he replied weakly. "We…well, uhm…I'm sorry but I have to…" he didn't finish his words. He didn't think that he could hold back his tear from falling down for another moment. So he left.
Tomoyo jumps down from the couch. Shocked with Touya's reaction and disappointment. She looks very worry. She bites her lips, thinking of the best way to react. A second later she decided to have a chat with her nii-chan. Then she rushes to the front door.
Tomoyo already knew that Touya would be sitting in the park, at a bench under the Sakura tree.
"Nii-chan…" She speaks carefully. Touya looked up. He then forced himself to smile. Tomoyo smiles back, sincerely. "Are you all right, nii-chan?"
"It's funny that you ask it to me." He smiles again, but a painful smile painted on his face now. "I'm very sorry, Tomoyo," Tomoyo puzzled.
"What for, nii-chan?"
"I'm the one who suppose to ask that to you, I'm the one who suppose to come to you and comfort you. You are the one that been hurt the most by this that happened. You and Sakura-chan. I'm sorry for being such a lousy oniisan."
"Onii-chan, that's not true. You have been a great oniisan for me. You're always there for me. Onii-chan, you ease my pain. And if you don't mind, I want to call you nii-chan, forever." Tomoyo reaches Touya's hand and embrace it on her chest. They look at each other and then Touya pulls her into his arms.
"Nii-chan,…"
"Yes?"
"I've never once regretted that I've been your imooto. Nor by the fact that I've been Too-chan's musume. You should know that for the past ten years I've never felt anything else than happy."
"It's a pleasure to be your oniisan too, imooto. I have loved you always." Touya closes his eyes, and whispered, 'Precious…' Tomoyo heard it and smiled. She still remembers how Touya always calls her like that since she was little.
"To be honest, nii-chan," She manages to make her way to Touya's ear and whispered. "I like the fact that I'm no longer your itooko."
Touya looked to his precious confusedly. But when they eyes met, he understand.
He felt the same way, and he nodded. Tomoyo sits besides Touya at the bench.
"Nee… precious, do you still remember the vow I made on your 5th tanjoubi?" Said Touya, his arms around Tomoyo's shoulder. Tomoyo nods, she smiles while remembering it.
"You promised that I'll be your bride when I get older," She giggled, "And then I cried cause my friend said that we're brother and sister and we can't get marry." She giggles again.
"Well… now we're not anymore…" Touya said carefully. Tomoyo stopped giggling, she stares at her beloved (ex) brother. "I don't care where you are, but by the time you do get older, precious… will you marry me then?" He said with his whole heart. Tomoyo looks at the sincerity in Touya's eyes. And she felt something warm rolling from her eyes. She bites her lips.
"Nii-chan…one day I'll come back, I promise that. By the time I get older, I'll come home, and when that happens…hai, of course, with all my heart I will be more than happy to marry you."
Touya could barely believe what he just heard. He reaches his hand to tilt her chin up and their lips met. Tomoyo's hands are around his neck and her fingers started playing with his hair. And Touya couldn't believe that his precious' lips are that soft and that sweet, and he deepened the kiss.
And then they half-heartedly broke the kiss after a while. They lost themselves in the depth of each other's eyes. 'Aishiteru…mou kimi igai ai senai' He whispers deeply, still couldn't take his eyes away from his precious. 'Watashi mo.' She replies.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~<end of flash back>~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Kinomoto-san! Kinomoto-san!"
Touya jumps up from his seats.
"Good, your back to earth now. Care to share with us what is so interesting about the trees out side, Kinomoto-san?" Professor Kawamura said, confuse by the way his favorite student acted today. Never once he saw Touya act so strangely. He practically stares at the window all day long with his mind obviously leaving earth.
Touya looked at the whole class that stares at him, and he blushes. The all the other students in class are as confuse as sensei Kawamura does. They never so the cool and no hearted Touya acted like. I mean, he actually daydreaming! You know, like a normal ordinary person! That is a weird thing to see. At least that's something that Touya's classmate thought at that time.
But thank God, the bell that ends the class for today saved Touya. Professor Kawamura dismissed all of them and Touya could walk out to the door, in relieve. He then walks to the parking lot and a minute later his car is already on the way home.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"So that's what happened with you and Tomoyo?"
"Yes, it was five years a go."
Sakura and Syaoran are sitting side by side in the airport's waiting room.
"But Syaoran, you know? I've never regret what has happened to me. Tomoyo and me have been the best of friend since we were still babies, and we still are until now! Either me, or Tomoyo, despite all of the confusion during the time, felt pretty much lucky of what had happened. The fact that I was conversed, just made me have two family instead of one. And I still love okaa-chan, no matter what. I even still call her okaa-chan. But now I have another okaasan whom I've never met, but I think…yeah, I do love her." She smiled sincerely.
Syaoran smiles back at her, it's like Sakura to say such a thing. -She is indeed the most kawai person I've ever know- Syaoran thought. Sakura looked at her wristwatch for the tenth time this minute. Syaoran, who -of course- notice it, get up from his seat.
"Where are you going, Syaoran?"
"I'm going to check whether or not the plane's arrival is delayed."
"Oh, OK." Sakura replied while looking at the information board. "Oh, look Syaoran, the plane has arrived!" She half yells. "I'll introduce you to her. I think you'll like her, Syaoran!" She said enthusiastically.
"If she is the one that's been your best friend that always been there for you for the past 15 years, then I am sure I will like her." Syaoran showed one of his rare and super sweet smiles.
"Oh, look, Syaoran! Here she comes!"
A beautiful young lady walked out from the arrival section, pushing the cart of luggage in front of her. She smiles at Sakura who waves at her.
"Tomoyo-chan!"
"Konnichiwa, Sakura." She smiles again, and then notice the presence of Syaoran. "Is he the one?" She asked. Sakura blushes, and slowly nodded.
"Tomoyo, this is Li Syaoran. Syaoran, this is Daidouji Tomoyo."
"Konnichiwa, Li-san,"
"Konnichiwa. How's your flight?"
"Oh, nothing special."
They walk out side the airport to the bus stop that brought them to the Daidouji house.
"After I put all of things in my house, Sakura, can I go to your house?"
"Of course you can! Toosan would be happy to see you. And I think Niisan would definitely be thrilled."
Tomoyo smiled listening to what she said.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Touya are in the regular annoying traffic jam, and he always hated it. But today, he felt something different. He feels something big is going to happen and he have to be home so he wouldn't miss it. And he had to be there fast.
When the traffic is finally goes normal, it's already 6 PM. He parks his car in the garage and goes inside the house. Tiredly.
"Tadaima." He said, sluggishly. He bows to takes of his shoes and change it into slippers.
"Okaeri. Oh, your home, nii-chan,"
-Nii-chan? Sakura never calls me nii-chan. The only one that calls me nii-chan is… and that voice is…- Touya shock fully tilted his face up, and apparently he does it to fast, considering that he's standing with one foot, (He's changing his shoes, remember?) and he fell down at the veranda.
"Kami-sama, Are you alright, nii-chan?" Tomoyo said worriedly. She gave her hand for Touya to hold on.
"I… is it… really you?" Touya said, hardly believing his eyes.
The girl that stands in front of him are possibly the most beautiful girl he ever saw. Her hair is still as black, still as long. And her eyes, it's funny how her eyes could be so deep and at the same time it's so bright, with the soft glare in it. Tomoyo smiles. With the same sweet and tender way that she does. Touya can still remember that smile even tough they didn't met for hundreds of years.
"Of course it's me, nii-chan?" Tomoyo said, leaning her head to reaches Touya's ear. "I come as what I've promised. I'm not old enough now, I know. But I'll stay here until the time." She stares at Touya's eyes that filled with joy. "If, that is alright with you, of course," She added.
"Of course it's alright with me, silly!" He pulls her into his arms. "Oh, you have no idea how I felt while your gone. I miss you so much. And now that you are here, I'm frighten cause I'm scared of loosing you."
"I miss you too, nii-chan. I'm sorry if I was gone too long. But I'm here now."
"Yes, precious, and I would never let you slip trough my hands ever again. Aishiteru, boku no imooto." He whispered.
"Hai, watashi mo aishiteru desu."
"I'll wait until you're old enough, and then…"
"Hai," She nods. "Demo, would it be alright with you, nii-chan? You've waited long enough for me to come back, and now…"
"Precious, I've been waiting for you for six years. It wont kill me if I waited couple of years more."
They eyes met and they stare at each other deeply. Touya gently tilts her chin up and captures her lips for a kiss. Tomoyo part her lips slightly, and Touya deepened the kiss, accepting her invitation, while his fingers unconsciously slides through Tomoyo's delicate hair. Touya can still smell the scent of her hair, and he lost himself by that scent. Tomoyo felt her feet had leave the ground as the warm lips of Touya melted hers again and again. They felt the closeness between them that is unspeakable. They've seek for the warmness that they felt right now for years, and they found it in each others embrace. At that time they made another vow that didn't need to be said. They promise that they'd forever be at each other's side.
'Tottemo aishiteru…precious…' Touya whispered again as his mind lifted up to heaven.

THE END
