15 Possibility

Shock was registered on Itsumi and Itachi's faces.

"What? What is the matter? Why the shocked expressions on your faces?" Sakiko asked.

They both exchanged a look at each other before looking back at her.

"Umm Sakiko, you may not have realized it or I don't know if mum told you, but he has the same name as your twin brother. Except for the Uchida of course."

"You're kidding right?" She looked at their faces, "Oh no, you're dead pan serious" she now had the shocked expression on her face.

"It's the truth Sakiko" Itachi confirmed her thoughts.

"No wonder you guys feel happy around each other. You must find out okay."

"All right I'll try. I do not know if he really is... "

"No negative thoughts here, Sakiko."

"Besides, we never found his body. For all we know he might be our lost brother" Itachi informed them.

"Think about it, we are not rushing you or anything but if there is a chance, then let's try."

"Yeah Itsumi is right, but my fear; I do not want this to be a dead end, it would only break her Itsumi" Itachi expressed his fear.

"Like how it broke mum then. There were too many dead ends and at the end of it all, he was proclaimed dead after endless search" Itsumi explained to her.

"I'll be fine, twin brother or not, as long as I have him, I'll be okay" she gave an ensuring smile to her siblings.

At school the next day, Sasuke felt sad and angry because Sakiko wasn't there with him.

"Hey Sasuke, can I seat by you?" Mari asked while pointing at Sakiko's seat.

"No, you have hour's kindly go back there."

Just then the English lecturer, Miss Kaneki entered the class.

"Good morning students."

"Good morning Miss Kaneki" they chorused.

"Today we would be reading a passage from the English textbook and answering corresponding questions" her eyes drifted off to Sasuke.

"Sasuke, you look pale, is it due to the fact that Sakiko isn't here?"

"Thanks for the concern. I'm not in the mood Miss Kaneki."

She turned away from him and went in with her teaching.

During their lunch break, the Reverend Father sent for him.

----

In the Reverend Father's office.

"Your teachers say you are not focusing in class. Is this true?"

"Yes Father, they speak the truth" he quietly answwredt.

"Who is that letter for?" The Reverend Father asked, pointing to the letter in his hand.

He quickly hides it at his back, "No one sir" he lied.

"Sasuke, no lying. Last chance" the Reverend Father warned.

"For Sakiko Father."

The Reverend Father only sighed as he gazed at him.

"I am not happy without her. I feel so complete and alive when she is around me."

"Sasuke, hmm because of what your mum said before she died, to always make you happy; I am giving you a chance to stay with Sakiko."

"What!" He was shocked at what he heard.

"I mean she would come over and stay for a week. This might cheese you both up."

"Yes Father, thank you sir. It most definitely will" he was joyed beyond reasonable doubt.

"But on one condition" he said stopping the elated boy.

"What is the condition Sir?"

"You two would promise to face your books and you would do your mum proud. I better see higher grades at the end of the semester."

"Yes Father. I promise. That was almost the same thing that is in this letter. I was going to give it to you, to ask for your permission" he kept on talking but the Reverend Father drifted off in thoughts.

"This kid. Ohhhh if only you were here to see him so happy now. I promise I would do everything in my power to make it so" he thought to himself

"I do promise to focus and come out with better grades sir" he said with so much joy in his eyes.

"Ah, yes. Okay good. You may return to your class now."

"Yes, sir. Thank you Father" he slightly bowed his head and left.

The next day at school. The students talk on about various issues.

"By this time Sakiko hasn't come yet. I bet she would skip school again today and then I can make a move on Sasuke when he comes" Mari said told Noriko.

"Mari-chan, get a hold of yourself. Sasuke doesn't like you" Reina couldn't help but chipped in as she over heard Mark's remark.

Just then the Reverend Father's car drove in, Sasuke came down from the car.

"Oh they have arrived. Ohhhh Sasuke" she had dreamy eyes as she gazed upon him.

"Oh yes, Sakiko came, she is with them" Ayumi shouted.

"What!"

Mari quickly opened her eyes and looked through the window.
