Chocolate ice-cream

By Ophelia Winters

Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN THE BLOODY THING!

AN: I'm sorry if I offend Nadeshiko/Fujitaka fans in the process, but come on I'm writing this for fun. The idea of Sonomi/Fujitaka sounds funny and interesting. Infantile N/F shippers (who hate other pairings), leave me be and don't flame.

It all started on Saturday noon. I came back from Syaoran's house at 12 p.m. To be honest, Touya picked me up. I don't understand why he should get angry with him; he's a good boyfriend. I'm 14 for God's sake. My dad was supposed to be teaching aunt Sonomi how to make chocolate ice cream. I wondered how long it would take. Touya had told me that dad and her was talking the last time he saw them.

Dad had been upset about mom for a few days now and he was worried he would never find someone. How wrong he was.

The door was to be open. Besides who'd get into the house in broad daylight, other than us? Touya was always calm and pretty mature, so I never expected this from him. Then again he was always proud of our dear mother and knew her well unlike me. Deep in my heart, I knew nobody could replace her. I guess that's why, it affected him so much more. We opened the door hoping to find a depressed dad and our aunt trying to give him a shoulder to cry on. When I first saw what they were doing, I was shell-shocked.

I was looking for something in my pocket and asked Touya if he had seen it. No answer. Soon after, I looked at his face. He looked too horrified to scream. I looked at the couch in our drawing room and I yelled.

"Oh my God!" I screamed. "Eeww... THAT"S GROSS!"

I saw my father and aunt all over each other, making out. Eeww... oh just the horror of it. I wouldn't have liked to see my mom and dad kissing any less. I guess it was then that they finally got up from each other and looked at us, simply petrified.

Touya looked as if he was going to cry any minute now. I pitied him. I was just shocked and disgusted. Touya glared defiantly at them and ran upstairs, sobbing.

"Damn," my father cursed for the first time in front of me.

Surprisingly, aunt Sonomi put her hand on his shoulder.

They told me sit down and be calm and try to see things in a rational way. Why they put me on the sofa instead of Touya, I'll never know. Touya looked very upset whereas I looked very disgusted.

I can't pretend I was fully okay with it. I mean come on, would you be? Well at least dad wasn't committing adultery and well, dad needed a shoulder to cry on. But mom... I told myself that dad had been alone enough for long and aunt and mother were pretty much the same. I was thinking about a few things while dad and my aunt went to a corner to discuss things. My mom wasn't there for me because she died when I was young. Well, aunt Sonomi she tried to be really helpful and she was and still but becoming my step-mom... I don't know.

Someone once said the saddest things of all were what could have been. True. Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like if mom was the one making coffee and pancakes in the morning and tucking me into bed. I wonder still. Wishful thinking won't help me but having someone to take a mom's place after so long ... well ... there was something depressing about it. But nonetheless, if it made dad happy, it would make me happy. Besides my aunt is sorta cool.

My aunt and father approached me with a look of exaggerated patience. Aunt noticed her slightly unbuttoned white blouse and silk skirt. She looked hot and dad looked plain in his flannel shirt and jeans. Oh my god, I can still see it! Pervert Sakura! I reminded myself to whack my head in private.

"Sakura," aunt said nervously "you know what chocolate can do."

I nodded my head faintly but I still couldn't get why dad stuck his tongue down her throat.

I guess father knew I really didn't get anything so he began to explain. I noticed there was a box of chocolate ice cream with a big spoon on the floor. Wasn't strawberry an aphrodisiac? Bad Sakura, Bad Sakura.

"Well, Sakura," he lamented. "For the past few days, I have been thinking about your mother and how I miss her. I keep being haunted thinking that I could do something for her. I've felt like this for her ever since she died. I couldn't show how I felt because I had to make you and Touya learn to move on while I couldn't. I can never have my Nadeshiko back."

Aunt Sonomi looked down with grave remembrance.

"I wondered if I could ever have a girl like her in my life because she lit up my life. I wanted at least someone like that close to me. I knew you and Touya wouldn't approve and I didn't think much about dating to be honest. I keep 'her' alive in my memory and always will. I called Sonomi today hoping to find a shoulder to cry on."

They were both blushing at the point. Dad looked at her.

"But we found much more. We found that we could always on each and that we had what the other lacked. It's a wonder what a few hours could do to two depressed people. We found that in a way we knew each other. We're in love."

He now smiled and looked at me. My aunt was going to speak. I was giving them a weird and slightly disgusted look. Jeez.

"Now," aunt Sonomi began " you know we shouldn't have done..." she closed her and cringed. She shook her head and once again began. "What we did in front of you was wrong. We shouldn't have surprised you like that."

Surprise, it somehow seemed funny at that hour.

"But we... we got carried away... yeah that's it!" She finally found the perfect words not that it took her long. "We discovered what we were missing..."

"Passion..." dad remarked.

"Desire..."

"Sex..."

Eeww... did they have to say that in front of me? Great, I'll be stuck with that picture for the whole day.

They looked stupefied when they realized they had been saying the wrong things.

"Sorry, dear," father quickly added. "Now see, it's not going to be that bad..."

Wait, you mean they're moving in. Aww... more stupid scenes.

"We're moving in?" She looked confused.

"Well..." dad looked embarrassed.

"Oh, of course, of course we are."

"Well, you know Sakura, people can't find true love all the time."

She looked bewildered at him. I was starting to get amused.

"Of course..."

"Yes, well," he went back. "Well, you won't find what you want in the world ..."

"Emotional empathy..."

Here they go again.

"S... I mean 'love'." He shook his head trying to stop thinking about something.

What is it with adults and sex anyway?

"When you're lucky enough," she smiled and leaned over to me. "You can find what you both want and need. And when you find that you want to cling on it to for your dear life. It's seems worth it."

He nodded.

"You'd do anything..."

"Anything," she confirmed.

This is a soap opera. I'm not the sarcastic type but my 21 year old brother needs more help. I'm worried about him, the poor thing. They should go to him.

"Look on the bright side you'll have Tomoyo more like a sister now ..."

"Dad, Aunt Sonomi," I interrupted. "Look I'm happy for the two of you but a part of me is still unsure. But time heals all things, this is no exception. Right now, you have to talk to Touya. He needs you."

"Oh right," she remembered.

"Yeah, poor boy."

I had a feeling things weren't going to be the same.

I decided to go to Syaoran. He's so understanding. And tactful.

The end.
