A brother's love is a sister's curse...

Chapter One; connections established, connections severed….

(A/N- hehehe, first fanfic by golden-pond, but I don't care. I got bored one day and I exhausted all the stories on fanfic so I thought I'd finally write my own. Any way here it goes….)

Disclaimer; I do not own Cardcaptor Sakura, magna or anime. Clamp does. None of the characters are mine…

Sakura was a young girl, no she was more of a lady these days. The way she held herself, the way she walked, it was all with an air of sophistication that no girl could match. She was 17, nearly 18 in April. She had grown into a fine young woman but still kept her deep emerald eyes, still so innocent, from childhood. Her naturally auburn hair hung low on her shoulders until it was whisked away by the soft breeze of the season and landed half way down her back.

As sherecieved a gloved hand from above, shestepped out of the Bentley Arnage AL, the sun couldn't help but reflect perfectly off her shapely and slightly tanned legs.

"Thank you Keitaro, I shall call you if I need you." And with a slight wave of her hand, they were both gone, heading in separate directions.

Sakura walked towards the building she knew all too well. Her brothers company, Kinomoto Corporations. It was named in recognition of their family. The one both of them didn't have any more. They only had each other.

Their parents died in a car crash on tragic day when Sakura was only three. Touya wasnine at the time, it affected him more. Sakura could ease into it as she didn't know what was going on till she gradually grew up. But Touya had alwasy suffered greatly for his loss. He was always close with his mother, and was alwasys angry at her for leaving him. Maybe that's why he was so hard on Sakura. He couldn't bare to lose another female in his life that he cared about. Especailly after Kaho had left. His fiance. He was so heartbroken, yet he survived thankfully. He couldn't take the female species anymore. He found solace in the arms of his best friend Yukito, who soon became his lover. Ever since then, Sakura is the only female Touya has trusted fully.

So Sakuragrew up fast and was quite mature for her age and despite Touya's protest's, he could see what she was becoming and feared the day when she would leave. He only had her in the world and he vowed on his parent's death bed that he would protect her no matter what. She was his world, she was what kept him sane. He wouldn't now what to do wihtout her.

He sighed as she walked into her office and sat herself down in the chair opposite him. She was required to be here occasionally on Touya's demands. Something about learning a new skill and family tradition….Sakura didn't listen but instead sat there watching the contraption on his desk. Back and forth, back and forth. As one ball came crashing down, the ball on the opposite end would react with the same force despite the other hanging balls between them. Pure physics she thought. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Sakura was no doubt smart, but she didn't show it. She was naturally shy but it only took a matter of minutes for her to warm up to anyone and her bubbly personality would come out kicking. She seemed to not have a care in the world, only the thoughts in her head. People just glowed when they were around her. She was just that likable a person.

She was destined to break hearts. But so far, only a few shattered pieces followed behind her. Not her own of course, no. She couldn't justify giving her heart to another, so she kept attachments at a friendship level, never wanting nor caring for anything more. But that of course didn't stop others from trying. Thus, they got hurt, for not being able to tame the wild and carefree that is Sakura Kinomoto. She knew she had the ability to love, but she wanted to save it for that special someone. And she had just about thought she had found that special someone...

"Sakura….Sakura…Kaijuu!" yelled Touya impatiently as he watched his sister day dream right before his eyes. That last word caught her attention and he and she both knew it was only to be used ifhe was ready to deal with the consequences, the wrath and voice of his baby sister.

"I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME THAT!" boomed Sakura. Her once sweet voice now filling the huge office with anger and discomfort.

"But it's the only way I can get you're attention" he replied, eerily calm, mainly due to it happening many times before.

"There still no need…" Sakura scoffed as her words trailed into nothing.

Touya started preaching to Sakura the importance of paying attention but just after he started his words were lost on her. For at that moment, an amber eyed boy with unruly locks of chocolate brown hair had walked into her brother's top floor office.

Before she had time to react she felt a hot steamy whisper envelop her ear.

"Miss me?" it stated in a gruff yet mischievous tone that just screamed 'I am up to no good'.

Sakura tried not to react in front of her brother but she couldn't resist. And before she knew it she was being embraced by her long time boyfriend, Syaoran Li, the one and only, her Syao.

Touya made a slight noise that both showed his presence and his lack of patience for the young couple in front of him. Touya didn't believe this boy for one minute. He wanted to slice him up like sushi, yet alas, he couldn't.

For Syaoran Li was the infamous leader or all the Li corporations. The greedy little bastard had a hand in anything to do with business. He owned various casinos in the Nevada desert, aswell as several building here in Tokyo, but his main business empire was in Hong Kong, China. And now, he was here to do business with him which would hopefully benefit both their companies handsomely.

"Would you kindly get you're grubby little paws off my sister while in my presence?" asked, no demanded Touya after getting no reply from his little noise earlier.

"Ah yes sorry about that here are those files you asked for concerning….." he looked at Sakura and paused, then continued, "….our business together." Stated Syaoran after finally returning back to reality.

Touya took the files and motioned for Li to move out of is office, but instead he sat down in one of the chairs in front of him, next to Sakura.

"We have a lunch appointment with the consultants from the Osake-Koma oil company." Said Syaoran after seeing Touya's puzzled expression.

Touya had to hand it to him, he was a great guy. He seemed cool, calm and collected and was certainly a very successful businessman. All qualities in which he liked in a business partner, but the factor that tainted him, was that he was dating his one and only younger sister. And had been for quite some time now. Touya was starting to worry. It was over 6 months ago, it was getting serious. What would he do? He could never let go of Sakura. Could he?

His thoughts were interrupted when Sakura and Syaoran got up to go to lunch.

All the way towards the restaurant he kept thinking…I have to get these two apart. I can't lose her. 'Wait, am I really that selfish?' he pondered. 'Sakura seems so happy, how can I do this to her? Easy, take charge.' His thoughts suddenly flipped on him. 'Look what he's doing to her, he's going to use her and he'll break her heart, I can't let that happen.'

All of a sudden Touya stopped the car he was driving which caused the passengers beside him to yell at him in confusion and utter shock. He had just stopped in the middle of a busy intersection.

He'd never been one hundred percent sure about Sakura dating that guy. That guy, Syaoran, the one she claimed she loved. He didn't believe her, and hell, if she wasn't going to make the right choice, then he would…
