Part Four: Fuutie Runs The Plan
------------------------------------------------------

This day was another day the eldest Kinomoto had to come back home in
late evening.  As the previous days before, Fujitaka had to perform
the historic project that was keeping him really busied.

Kinomoto Touya was in the kitchen of his home.  He was perplexed and
anxious about his little sister. She had been acting unusual since she
had come back form school, and he could see she was sad.  Something
had happened to her.

Sakura was a cheerful girl.  Even though some time she was sad, but
she would not appear herself as she was sad.  She tried to be strong
all the times since she did not want anyone to worry about her.  She
never let any darkness covered her mind.  But this was the first time
he could see the sadness was showed on her face and hurts from her
heart evidently.

What had happened to his little sister? He wanted to know.

Since Kaho, the Clow Reed person and Akizuki had left Tomoeda, the
entire intricate event, which had entwined his little sister into it,
seemed to be ended.  Yes, he did aware all of the strange things, but
he did not speak it out either.  Sakura also did not tell him or his
father because she did not want them to worry about her, so he did not
say anything.

However Sakura appeared to know he knew of all the things she had
tried to keep it in secret.  It was since the time he had gave his own
power to Yue, who was Yuki another form, for saving both of them from
disappearing, if they both had not enough power to maintain
themselves.  At any rate, it was not matter when the things were
ended, and his little sister was safe now.

But why she looked terrible sad?  Only one reason he could figure out
was…

"That brat," Touya murmured, frowning.

It was the way to Kinomoto resident. Fuutie was walking on the street
with Shiki-chan was drifting by her upside and Kero was hiding in
Fuutie's handbag.  He emerged his own head from the opening zip
fastener of the handbag, guiding her the way to Kinomoto resident with
little hesitate.

"Why do you want to go there?" Kero asked the young lady.

"I want to visit Sakura-chan, and from what you said, I worry about
her too," Fuutie replied.

Kero looked at her with uncertain.  "That home," he pointed to the
Kinomoto resident.

"Thank you very much, Cerberus," Fuutie said, smiling at him, and then
stopped before she reached to the gate of the home.  "Cerberus, would
you take care of Shiki-chan until I'll come back please?" Fuutie asked
sweetly.

Confused Kero looked at Fuutie then nodded hesitatingly, accepting the
request.  The young woman wanted to talk with Sakura, and he should
not pry them, moreover he also could not enter the Kinomoto resident
with the young woman because Sakura was not home alone, Touya was
inside too.  Although the second Kinomoto knew the truth what exactly
he was, but he still could not bring himself to face Touya face to
face.  It was awkward to him.  Maybe the roof would be a good place in
waiting for the young woman, he thought.

"Come on, this way," Kero said to Shiki-chan and flew up to the roof
of the Kinomoto resident.

Fuutie gave Kero an appreciated smile, "Thank you, Cerberus," and then
she looked back at Shiki-chan, she said, "Shiki-chan, be a good child
and wait for me with Cerberus, okay?"

Shiki-chan nodded then followed Kero to the roof.

After the two magic creatures had gone Fuutie lifted her right hand up
and pressed the doorbell of the Kinomoto resident.  She took a deep
breath as the sound of the doorbell rang through the home, which
provoked the person in the resident to open the door to see who
visited them, and the person who opened the door was the second
Kinomoto, Touya.

Touya opened the door to see who visited them, then he found an
unknown beautiful young woman was standing in front of his home and
looked straight at him.

"Good evening," Fuutie sent her best esthetic smile at Touya and
bowed.  <Oh, This is Sakura-chan's big brother and always has glaring
fight with Shaolan, > she marked in her mind.

Confused who was this young woman; Touya slowly bowed at Fuutie.
"Good evening," he greeted her back.  <Is she a salesperson? > He
thought.

A delicate smile was on Fuutie's face still.  "I'm Sakura-chan's
friend. Can I meet Sakura-chan, please?"

<Sakura's visitor? > Touya concluded.

The second Kinomoto nodded with politeness and invited the young woman
into the home.  Fuutie thanked him.  He gestured Fuutie to sit in the
Sofa of the main room, and she bowed her head to thank him again.
Touya walked to upstairs to call his little sister.  Even his little
sister was having something in her mind, and he was sure that the
thing caused her sad, but this young woman was his sister's guest.
Perhaps some chitchat would help his sister, but why this young woman
looked similar in someway? Touya made a question in his mind.
 

* * * * * * * * *
 

In the main room of Kinomoto resident, Fuutie was sitting alone,
waiting for Sakura.  She looked around the place, making her little
investigation.

<At last I could sit inside Sakura-chan's home without having any
unnecessary confrontation with Sakura-chan's big brother, > she
thought.

Fuutie knew Touya form Shaolan's diary.  It staged that the second
Kinomoto did not like her little brother. If the second Kinomoto knew
she was the big sister of the boy, he might not allow her to meet his
little sister.  For avoiding the problem, she decided not to refer her
name but chose to refer herself as Sakura's friend.

Fuutie let out a sigh. Things went more complicate than she had
expected, since she had come to Japan.  First, Shaolan's feeling
toward Sakura, which Fuutie was strongly certain, her little brother
loved the girl…very much.

And now, from what Cerberus had informed her, Sakura was sad.

Why?

The reaction of Sakura Fuutie knew from Shaolan's diary was different
from what she knew from Cerberus.  Tomoyo had said it might believably
because of Sakura had known that Shaolan was leaving Japan.  It was
mean Sakura was sad because of a friend was leaving her, or because of
it was Shaolan, who was leaving her?  Would Sakura have the same
feeling toward her little brother?

For Shaolan, Fuutie knew her little brother well enough to tell right
away that her little brother was falling in love.  However for Sakura,
Fuutie was not sure, but she wanted to know and that was why she had
to come to this home for looking precisely what was the girl's
reaction.  If Sakura had the same feeling toward Shaolan….

Fuutie paused.  Her face became sad with the thought.  Her little
brother had to go back to Hong Kong and left Sakura.  And…if Sakura
also loved Shaolan… while he still had to be departed from her…

<I wish, Shaolan.  I truly wish... you could have any happiness as an
ordinary person, without 'Li' clan is on your back. >

But it was true.  The greatest clan in Hong Kong named 'Li' was on the
back of a little boy.

In front of Sakura's room, Touya rising his right hand to knock the
closed door.  "Oi Sakura," he called his little sister.

The knocking sound waked Sakura.  She fond herself had fell asleep,
her cheeks were damped and her tear wet her pillowcase.  Sakura
rapidly wiped the wetness off her face, stood up then walked to the
door and opened the door to face her big brother was standing in front
of the door. "Yes?" Sakura answered him.

Seeing his little sister, Touya knew she had cried, which induced him
more worried about her.  But he did not ask her why she had cried,
since she did not want to tell him.  He just ruffled her hair,
comforting Sakura.  "You have a guest, Sakura," he said.

"A guest?" Disheveled hair Sakura looked at the big brother with
puzzlement.

"She's waiting downstairs."

Confusing who was her guest, Sakura walked to downstairs.  The girl's
eye widened when she saw who was her guest, "Fuutie-san!"

"Hello Sakura-chan," Fuutie looked up and sent her usual glorious
smile to the girl.

"Why-Why?" Surprised Sakura asked, walking to the young women.

"Why I came here?"  Fuutie finished the question for Sakura, who
nodded numbly.  The young women smiled, "I just want to--" Fuutie's
sentence was cut off when she saw the redness on the girl's eye.  Then
she put her right hand to touch the girl's cheek softly "Are you all
right, Sakura-chan?" Fuutie asked with concern as if Sakura was her
little sister.

The tone of voice Fuutie used, the expression on Fuutie's face, those
were the same expression the young woman used with Shaolan.  It was
soothing and noble.  Feeling the emotion was touched; some droplets of
tear fell down from Sakura's eyes uncontrollable.

Fuutie pulsed in surprise, looking at Sakura, who was standing in
front of her, was sobbing.  Then the young woman slowly embraced
Sakura, using one hand fondled Sakura's hair gently and let Sakura
cried in her arms.

After some minutes past, the two ladies were standing in the garden of
Kinomoto residence, taking some cool night breezes.  Touya was inside
the home, continuing preparing the dinner.

"Do you feel better?" Fuutie knelt down in front of Sakura and used
her handkerchief wiped tears from Sakura's face.

Sakura nodded meekly.  "S-Sorry Fuutie-san, I startled you," Sakura
said with guilty in her voice.

Fuutie smiled to the girl.  "Never mind it," she said, looking at
Sakura with concern, "Care to talk?"

Sakura looked at Fuutie, then down to the floor, musing.  That was it,
why she had cried, Sakura thought.  All she knew was whenever she
thought of the Chinese boy was leaving, her heart was squeezed, and it
hurt…  But still she did not understand the feeling she had now
anymore.

Seeing the desperate confusion depicted on the face of the girl,
Fuutie decided to change the topic.  "Ah, I haven't told you why I
came.  Do you have any appointment tomorrow?" Fuutie asked.

"N-No, Fuutie-san," Sakura looked at Fuutie, shaking her head.

"Good then tomorrow Tomoyo-chan, Shaolan and me will go to the Tomoeda
amusement park.  If you don't mind, I wish you to go with us too,"
Fuutie said.

Hearing the word 'Shaolan', Sakura felt her heart ached again.  It
took a minute for Sakura to nodded slowly with hesitancy.  "Y-Yes,
Fuutie-san, I'll go."

Fuutie smiled brightly to Sakura.  "I'm glad.  So see you at 10 A.M.
tomorrow at the front gate of Tomoeda amusement park, okay?" She dug
in to her handbag and picked out a ticket then handed it to the girl.
It was the entrance ticket of the amusement park Tomoyo had purchased
in advance by using the fax machine as it was the part of Fuutie's
plan.  "Here is your ticket, Sakura-chan," Fuutie said.

"Thank you, Fuutie-san," Sakura took the ticket from Fuutie.

Fuutie smiled at Sakura and said, "It's late this much.  I have to go
now, Sakura-chan." After Fuutie gathered her handbag and the paper bag
that had the videotapes and a photo album Tomoyo gave her, she said
good bye to Touya and then walked out to the gate of Kinomoto resident
with Sakura.  "Shiki-chan," Fuutie called her magic creature.

Abruptly Shiki-chan, to Sakura's surprise, with Kero flew from the
roof to the two ladies.  Seeing Sakura was standing with Fuutie,
Shiki-chan drifted and whirled around Sakura, happy to see the girl,
which made Sakura giggled.

"Shiki-chan's happy to meet you, Sakura-chan," Fuutie translated then
turned to Kero.  "Thank you very much, Cerberus, for taking care of
Shiki-chan."

"I happy to meet Shiki-chan too," Sakura said to Shiki-chan and then
to Kero, "You all are already knew each other?"

"We met at Tomoyo's house," Kero, who appeared like just had finished
some wrestling matches with Shiki-chan, said wearily.

"Yep, I went to return the video tapes I borrowed to Tomoyo-chan and
we met there," Fuutie supplied and then turned to Shiki-chan and said,
"It's time to go, Shiki-chan, say goodbye to Sakura-chan and
Cerberus."

Shiki-chan's eyes widened in shock.  Instead of complying to what
Fuutie said as usual, Shiki-chan darted to Kero and tried to huh him
tight.  Shiki-chan did not want to be separated from Kero, who was the
first friend in Shiki-chan's life.  However with Shiki-chan's short
fin made the picture seemed rather alike Shiki-chan was bumping Kero.
Both of the magic creatures fell hard to the floor.  Kero yelped when
the pink round fish began to trundle on him.

"Shiki-chan!" Fuutie forbade, trying to pull Shiki-chan apart from
Kero, but Shiki-chan resisted.

Seeing the scene, Sakura choked off some giggles.  The scene both
magic creatures were making was cute—and funny.

"What's so funny?!" Kero, who was lying on the floor, turned to
Sakura, saying with anger.

"Ah, sorry," Sakura said, trying her best not to laugh.

Struggling to pull her magic creature from Kero for a moment, at last
Fuutie patted the fish and said, "It's okay, Shiki-chan.  You still
can meet Cerberus next days."

Shiki-chan turned its round face to Fuutie.  She nodded to reassure
her word.  At last Shiki-chan drifted from Kero to the young woman, as
Fuutie gave her magic creature a small smile and patted its forehead
lightly.  They bowed and said sayonara to Sakura and Kero.

After Fuutie and Shiki-chan left the Kinomoto resident, Sakura turned
to Kero.  "I think, Shiki-chan like you a lot, Kero-chan," Sakura
pointed out as the matter of fact she had seen.

Kero glared at Sakura angrily.  To Kero, being trundled by the round
fish was not fun and being laughed was even more not fun.  Nonetheless
he did not like to see the girl sad, and it was much better if she
would laugh at him than the girl was sad.  He was glad the girl could
laugh now.

"Oi Sakura, dinner is ready," Touya called from inside the home.

"Yes, coming," Sakura replied.

"Hey Sakura, don't forget to keep my portion," Kero could not help to
remind the girl to keep his portion of food, and then he flew up to
Sakura's room, entering the girl's room by using the window of the
room.

Sakura face-fault.  She turned and walked into her home.  Kero was
always gluttonous of food, she thought.
 

* * * * * * * * *
 

The dinnertime of the Kinomotos was unusual quiet, without the
cheerful voice from the youngest Kinomoto or any fighting sound of the
sibling.  The scene of Kero being trundled by Shiki-chan had lifted
Sakura from her unreasoning out upset but not all.  Sakura barely said
things while Touya chose not to ask and kept his quiet.

"Thanks for dinner, it's delicious," Sakura said when she finished her
meal.  She gathered her dished and took them to the sink in the
kitchen, intending to wash them.

"Put your dishes there.  I'll clean them."

"Ho-e?" Sakura looked at her big brother.

"And your fruit jelly is in refrigerator." Touya said without looking
at Sakura, eating his dinner.

"Thanks Onii-chan.  I'll eat it in my room," Sakura picked her fruit
jelly from the refrigerator and walked to her room.

The big brother stared after his little sister.  Once the girl went to
upstairs, he sighed; he hated to see his little sister upset, and it
made him to worry about her very much.

Finishing his dinner, Touya got up, collecting his dishes to the sink
in the kitchen, and began to clean them.
 

* * * * * * * * *
 

In Sakura's bedroom, the guardian Cerberus was lying flat on the
girl's bed, exhausting from being trundled by the fish-like magic
creature.

Once he was alone in the girl's bedroom, Kero began to mull.  When he
had been requested from the young lady to guide her the way to
Kinomoto resident, no one but only him to be surprised by the request.
Kero doubted did Tomoyo already know the young lady wanted to go there
and what was her purpose.  It looked like the girl knew as well. At
least, if he could not trust the young lady but he could trust Tomoyo,
the girl would never harm Sakura.

The young lady herself, though he could sense power from her, she had
no any sign of dangerous.  She had told him what was the reason she
was in Japan--for taking the Li boy back home and doing some business
for the 'Li' clan, which the business of the clan was nothing for him
to concern. Her openness of her purpose made Kero more comfortable.

Furthermore when he had informed from Tomoyo and the young woman that
the Li boy became infatuated with Sakura, it surprised him.  He had
never recognized any signals that the Li boy loved Sakura before.
Withal the Li boy was going to leaving Sakura, departing from the one
who the Li boy loved.

He could remember definitely erstwhile his previous master, Clow Reed,
had died, how sorrow it was, how it had affected to Yue, to him.  He
knew quite clear, departing from the person who was beloved, how it
felt, how it saddened.  And for this time, the Li boy was facing the
situation like he had faced.  He pitied the Li boy, he admitted.  It
leaded him to his conclusion, he decided if it had something he could
help the boy, and it was not harm Sakura, he would help--though the Li
boy was such a brat most of the times.  The Li boy had to thank him
for his super mercy anyway.

Kero ended his thought when the door of Sakura's bedroom was opened.
He turned to the door and saw Sakura was entering the room.

"Kero-chan, today we have fruit jelly," Sakura informed and handed him
the fruit jelly.

"Wai!" Kero exclaimed with exhilaration, flying to Sakura and gladly
took the dish of confection from the girl then settled his own self
and the dear fruit jelly on Sakura's desk.  When he was about opened
his mouth to eat the jelly, he turned to look at Sakura, who sat on
her bed. "Sakura, don't we eat the jelly together?" He said with
worry.

"Thanks Kero-chan, but I'm full.  You can have all."  Sakura directed
her weak smile to Kero.

"U-Um," Kero nodded.

The guardian flew back to the desk and began to put the jelly into his
mouth.  Kero was worried about Sakura.  It caused him to not happy
with the jelly like he should do as was common; notwithstanding the
jelly Sakura's brother had made was delicious after all.

Sakura flung her body to lie on her side.  She wheeled her body to
face the wall of her bedroom, wanting to enshroud her face from Kero.

Sakura knew herself that her emotion was unstable.  When Fuutie had
visited, she had been crying, causing the young woman had been
startled.

Why?

Sakura asked herself this question several times. When Eriol and
Mizuki had been leaving Japan, it was sad that she would not meet
them, but she could write to them.  But when the Chinese boy was
leaving, why she had cried?  Why she felt her heart was squeezed when
she heard the name of the Chinese boy? Why it was desolate?  Why
it…hurt? Hurt this much?

She did not understand it, did not understand it...at all.

Sakura was deeply absorbed in thought.  With her back was facing on
Kero's direction, she did not know the guardian occasionally sent his
worried peer to her.
 

* * * * * * * * *
 

At Shaolan's apartment, Fuutie opened the door of Shaolan's room,
entering the room with her magic creature. She placed her handbag and
the paper bag on the sofa in the main room. Shiki-chan set itself on
the sofa beside Fuutie's handbag.

"I'm back, Shaolan," She said.  When Fuutie did not find her little
bother in the main room, she walked around, looking for him.  Fuutie
opened the door of Shaolan's bedroom and found him fall asleep, <Oh!
Shaolan probably has been waiting for me till he falls asleep.  He
maybe hungry a lot. > Then she closed the door softly, Fuutie thought,
<I better make dinner ready for him when he wakes up. >

With the thought, Fuutie walked to the kitchen, picking the raw stuff
for dinner out from refrigerator.  The boy looked terrible in past few
days, since she had arrived to Japan.  She had to make the dinner that
he had never eat it before for her dear little brother, and she was
sure her little brother would happy, even it was little thing, but she
would do it for him anyway.
 

* * * * * * * * *
 

Touya was standing over the sink in the kitchen of his home.  He was
cleaning the dishes and thinking about the conversation between his
little sister and the young woman his little sister had called
Fuutie--if he did not get her name wrong.  It was not like he had
spied the conversation, but they had been talking about it loudly
enough to be heard, and all of their conversation had just crushed to
his ears.

<Tomorrow, at the Tomoeda amusement park, > Touya mulled over.

His mind turned to consider his numerous part-time jobs' schedule
tomorrow.  And he had just recalled he also had a part-time job at the
Tomoeda amusement park tomorrow. He really had to do his part-time job
at the Tomoeda amusement park.  The schedule was just coincident.
Nothing much or less...really.
 

* * * * * * * * *
 

The sleeping Chinese boy, Shaolan, awakened from his peaceful sleep.
He looked out of the window in his bedroom to the sky outside.  It was
dark.  Shaolan sat up, stretching his arms. Sleeping helped him felt a
bit better.  He turned to look at the alarm clock, which was on the
top of his bed.  It was early evening.  Shaolan wonder if his eldest
sister already came back from her shopping.

When Shaolan was about to stand up for checking for his eldest sister
and her magic creature, Fuutie opened the door of his bedroom, wearing
apron.

"Ah! Shaolan you wake up," Fuutie smiled esthetically at the boy.
"The dinner is ready.  Come to eat."

"U-Um," Shaolan, who was sitting on his bed, nodded anxiously when he
heard the word 'dinner' from his eldest sister.

Fuutie turned on the light in Shaolan's bedroom and said, "Shaolan,
tomorrow I want to go to the Tomoeda amusement park, and I want you to
go with me."

Shaolan looked up at the eldest sister, perplexing.  His eldest sister
a lot of touring trips around Tokyo in past few days, and she had just
come back from all-day shopping with her magic creature.  Did she make
a new plan of her tour again? Shaolan wondered.

"--Tomoyo-chan and Sakura-chan," the young woman finished.

Shaolan's eyes widened at the name of the girls Fuutie had just said.
His heart began to beat faster till it felt hurt in his chest.  He had
said goodbye to her in this afternoon, and then his eldest sister said
they were going to go to amusement park together tomorrow.  It was an
unexpected sudden to him…. But deep down he knew, with all of his
heart, he wanted to spend his little time he had in Japan with the
girl he love... desperately.

The boy looked at the floor.  His face was reddened slightly.  He
nodded, agreeing to go to the place with his eldest sister.

Fuutie gave the boy a soft smile.  She picked Shaolan's ticket out
from her handbag, knelt down in front of the boy, holding his right
hand and put his entrance ticket of the Tomoeda amusement park in it.

"Tomorrow 10 A.M. at the front gate of Tomoeda amusement park," Fuutie
said with a steady voice.

"T-Thank you, Fuutie-oneesan."  Shaolan stared at the ticket in his
right hand dimly.  His motion was arrested, as he was deep in thought.

Fuutie cast her one small hand on the boy's shoulder, smiling brightly
at him, cheering him up.  "Here Shaolan.  It is time of dinner,"
Fuutie said as she leaded the boy to the dinning table.

"U-Um," Shaolan snapped out of his thought.  He walked out of his
bedroom with Fuutie to the dinning table and sat on his seat.

At the table in the main room had two plates of spaghetti, a big bowl
of salad and soup in two deep dishes.  The full set of dinner was
arranged in Italian style.

"Here Shaolan! I made them all for you!" Fuutie said with excitement.

Shaolan's face went pale with the thought his eldest sister cooked the
dinner.  He made a silence admit in his mind that he genuinely did not
want to eat the meal his eldest sister cooked for him.

"It-It looks nice, Fuutie-oneesan."

Fuutie smiled, "Why don't you eat it?"

Shaolan made an uneasy gulp. The meal looked like the ordinary.  He
picked a fork, using it to roll spaghetti on his dish, tentatively
nibbled the spaghetti and swallowed it.

"Well?" Fuutie stared at the boy, concerning of his reaction.

"It-It's delicious, Fuutie-oneesan." Shaolan told her.

"I knew you will like it, Shaolan!" Fuutie beamed with happiness at
the boy.

Shaolan glanced to his eldest sister, who was starting to eat her own
dinner.  The dinner his eldest sister cooked was good, indeed.
Actually it was excellent.  Withal it was not the test of the meals
that made him frightened, but there was something about the meals his
eldest sister cooked that was farther along his acceptable degree.

While the sibling began to eat their dinner, Fuutie also began to
present the dinner she had made to the boy.  "Hey! You know, Shaolan,
I combined the Italian food with some very special ingredients to make
this dinner."

The 'very special' ingredients of the meals his eldest sister cooked
was the part Shaolan did not want to heard it, but for maintaining his
sister's courage, he decided to response to what the subject Fuutie
had brought up.  "What is it, Fuutie-oneesan?" He asked in soft voice.
He was uncertain whether he would make the right decision to ask her
about it or not.

"I used ground lizard to make the spaghetti sauce.  And there are
potato soup with fried snake skin, and salad with plant roast worms."
Fuutie presented the dinner proudly.

Shaolan slumped heavy to the floor.  It was not called 'very special'
ingredients; it should be called 'abnormal' ingredients was more
fitted to the ingredients she put into the meals she made.  His eldest
sister had make the meals looked like an ordinary meal, if she had not
told him, he would not know, besides he did not want to know it
either.  Two things he wondered how could she found such the abnormal
ingredients, and how could she eat them like they were nothing
different?

"Poor thing, I did not have time to make confection, so I could only
buy chocolate ice-cream, your favorite flavor, from the convenient
store near this apartment."

<That is only thing I can count it normal too, > Shaolan added to
himself.

Ending her presentation, Fuutie saw the boy was sitting on the floor.
"En? Shaolan? What is wrong?"

"Um, n-no-nothing, nothing wrong, Fuutie-oneesan." Shaolan stammered.

Fuutie sent Shaolan an innocent confused expression. "You should eat
before the dinner is getting cool, Shaolan," she said, continuing to
eat her dinner.

Shaolan watched his eldest sister ate her dinner with amazement,
before he tried to climb up to sit on his seat and struggled with all
he might to eat the dinner again.

Fuutie's abnormal food was what Shaolan frightened.  He had been being
tortured by eating Fuutie's abnormal food in past few days, since the
day Shiki-chan had almost been fish-in-soup.  However Shaolan did not
told his sister about it, because he did not want to make her unhappy.
He knew his eldest sister did not have any naughty thought to make
such a kind of abnormal food.  In actual fact, she tried so hard to
make them all for him--only how could she find all this kind of
ingredient was hard enough.  Shaolan simply prayed to the God he could
maintain his life and could take it back to Hong Kong.

Hong Kong...

With that thought, Shaolan felt his heart was squeezed tight, his
stomach was being reeled.  Finishing his dinner, Shaolan stood up.
"I'm full.  Thanks for the dinner, Fuutie-oneesan."

When Shaolan was about to gather his dishes for taking them to the
sink in the kitchen, Fuutie said, "Leave them, Shaolan.  I'll clean
them all."

"Thank you, Fuutie-oneesan," said Shaolan.

Fuutie smiled at the boy.  When Shaolan disappeared into his bedroom,
Fuutie began to muse.  The one of her plans—the wonderful dinner for
cheering him up—was successful, did not it?  Shaolan liked the meal
she had made for him, at least.  But why her little brother still
looked weary?

Finally she shrugged it off, collected all of the dishes on the
dinning table to the sink and cleaned them.  Her main plan was focus
mainly on tomorrow.  She wanted her little brother to spend his little
precious time in Japan with the girl he loved as much as possible.
However since his time in Japan was confined, and the boy did not have
any chance came to him, thus she made the chance for her little
brother.

Fuutie did not even wish Sakura would reciprocate the feeling of the
boy had for her.  All She hoped was he would use the chance for doing
what he had to do in Japan, telling Sakura he loved her, at least for
clearing his mind.  If Sakura did reciprocate the feeling or not, it
would be 'memory' for both of them.  The memory might be happy or sad
but all would be better than 'hurt' for the rest of their life if they
did not open their mind before they would not have a chance to do it.

Fuutie took a breath.  Ultimately, it had to be the kids who had to
settle how to bring their way to the end.
 

* * * * * * * * *
 

Shaolan was sitting on his bed.  He was staring at the entrance ticket
of the amusement park in his right hand, thinking in an absent-minded.

Tomorrow...

He wondered if he met Sakura tomorrow, what he would do.  He needed to
be with her, stood by her side, and protected her, the girl who was
the person he loved most.  The girl who he had never ever wanted to
see her hurt or sad...

Sakura...

But he was leaving her, and he would can not be by her side from now
on.  It was arduous to come in this conclusion, and he did not want to
come in this way either.  But for Sakura who might be saddened by
thinking of his sadness, for her would be happy as her usual did if
she did not aware of his feeling.  He could not be selfish by telling
her his feeling and let her sad because of his confession.  So he
decided it.

He would not tell her his feeling.  The feeling would be entombed in
the deepest inside his heart, no matter how long he would take to
forget this love, even he did not certain he could forget.

For Sakura...

It was no matter how long it hurt, or how much this hurt would tear
his heart. Even… it took the rest of his life.  He would not tell her
or let her know his feeling.

It was all he could do for her.
