Dying Memories

Summary

Sakura and Syaoran are best friends, they do everything together, until one day when Syaoran is infected with a terrible disease. No one knows about this new disease, this is the first time anyone had seen such a horrible disease. Poor Syaoran was dying of this new disease and no one could do anything about it. Sakura was shocked at the news when she heard that Syao was dying, but what could she do? What could anyone do? No one could do anything for poor Syao, no one in Japan, but maybe, maybe someone else had seen a similar disease, maybe even someone who is already dead...but how could they ever find this person? And in time to save Syao, or could they?

Chapter 1

It's Not True, is it?

"What is happening to Syao dad? Is he really going to die?" Sakura asked worrying that her best friend would die of some weird disease that no one has ever known about.

"We dont exactly know yet Sakura, but right now he is in a state of memory loss, he will remember you but he is losing his memories of you, we've asked him what happened on the beach that one time, he remembers nothing about that, I'm sorry Sakura." Her father replied.

When Sakura realized what that meant, she went over to him and asked him about some days that meant everything to them before he was diegnosed with it, like the day they went together on the trip Sakura won to Tokyo, he remembered one thing, that he was there, and he had fun, nothing about what he had fun doing, just he had fun.

Sakura was so heart broken, that was one of the most treasured memories to him, and he remembered nothing, how could this happen? By the time she thought it over she was in tears, Syao asked what was wrong, did he not remember that he just said that? This was really bad, how much worse could this get?

"You just said you didn't remember anything about the trip I won that we had so much fun on, dont you even remember what you just said?" Sakura asked.

"I'm sorry Sakura, I dont, not one bit, I'm really sorry about this, but I cant do anything about it, I still have many memories that I do not want to forget, but eventually they will disappear and I might not remember you at all, so please, dont be mad at me, ever, do you promise?" Syaoran answered.

"I...I...I promise...but why...why did this happen to you? Why?" Sakura continued to ask questions.

"Umm...everyone, can we please have a couple minutes alone?" Syaoran asked the people in the room.

"Yes, common people, leave them alone for a couple minutes, but someone please stay at the end of the hall, just incase, and so you cant hear anything." Sakura's father demanded.

"Thank you." Syaoran politely said as everyone left the room, except for Sakura, "Do you know why I asked them to leave, Sakura?"

"No...should I?" Sakura asked.

"No, that's good, you shouldn't know, considering no one should know, now someone will. Sakura, before I lose al my memories, please listen to this, this is hard for me to say, or rather to confess..." Syaoran explained.

"What is it Syao?" Sakura asked once again.

"I...I...I love you Sakura, and I have, since I saw you the first time, the day I arrived here, I was really happy when I got to sit behind the most beautiful person in the class, even though we were young, I still loved you, even if I didn't know, I realized that I have loved you all this time, but the reason I'm telling you this, is not to break your heart, but just to let you know...before I die...I'm sorry, but the doctor has said that this disease will get worse and eventually I will die, and soon. I'm really sorry." Syaoran explained.

Sakura was shocked, he loved her, the whole time, he loved her, and he was about to die, how terrible is this disease, temps him to say his biggest secret, then kill him, how can this be? As her cheeks filled up with tears, she was pulled forward towards Syao, feeling his warm embrace and making a puddle of tears on his warm blankets pulled over his chest, all Sakura could do was cry, hug Syao and cry, then pulled away from him for a quick minute and confessed. "I love you too, Syao." then slowly layed back down on his chest and continued to cry.

"Sakura, time to go!" Her father yelled through the door.

"Okay dad, just give me a minute!" Sakura replied trying to sound happy and said to Syao "I gotta go now, I'll come back tomarrow and see you, please remember me." giving him a soft kiss on the cheek and walked through the door. "Okay dad lets go"

"Alright, just go down to the car and I'll come in a minute." Her father finished and went back down the hall to Syao's room where everyone had gathered back. "Will he remember any of this tomorrow?"

"I'm afraid not...sorry sir." the doctor answered.

This is going to crush Sakura's heart when she comes tomorrow. He thought.

The next day, Sakura came into her father's room and bugged him to take her back to Syaoran's house. When they got there and Sakura ran up to his room, she went in to find him alseep and he seemed very uncomfortable so she went over to comfort him by talking to him. When he 'woke, he had a look of terror in his eye's, like he had no idea what she was doing. When he asked her, she told him what had happened the day before, just before her father came to the door. Syaoran seemed like he was starting to come down with a fever now, and said he was very cold. Sakura started to worry even more, how much worse could it get, after hearing that he could die soon just the other day, and now he was starting to get sick enough that he could die, it couldn't be true, could it?
