Notes: Last one, I know. I am getting sleepy already so here's the last for this week. The title? Thin Red Line is a military terminology refering to an outgunned military unit that is still firmly holding back against an attack. Well, you'll understand once you read the fic. But I think it's kinda obvious what it means. I mean, Touya. Hello? xDDD
Thin Red Line
“It’s really amazing, Tomoyo-chan, that we’re a thousand miles away but we’re only an hour advanced in time.”
Touya had found it really strange how his little sister’s fascination over geography suddenly blossomed in just one day after sixth grade. Finding her working on her assignments on time was odd enough. What more finding her perusing through their father’s books and materials and poring over maps and globes and atlases? His father and Yukito apparently found nothing wrong about it, encouraged even the girl more. But he knew that Fujitaka was not the type who was easily suspicious. Whatever made his daughter happy, the man would readily support her.
Touya, however, was far from generous. It was perhaps from one of the dominant genes of the Amamiya family, one that had been recessive in his mother.
“I’ve heard from Syaoran-kun-”
He snatched the atlas from his sister’s grasp without so much of a warning, ignoring her cry of protest, his dark eyes briefly flickering and narrowing at that one tiny, specific location on the map of China. He knew it.
“Do actual homework, kaijuu, not pointless things.”
There were still endless streams of protest from Sakura as he brought the atlas with him to the kitchen and stashed it inside one of the drawers after another glare. He would keep that several-thousand-miles distance between him and sister.
Storing away maps was just the beginning.
