But What of the Others?

/Life is a dream…
A dream never ending…
A dream without waking…
Dreaming forever…/
A little girl sings softly to herself.
"Where did you learn that song?"
"A girl is singing it…" The girl turned wide green eyes toward her sister. "She's lonely… she misses her mother."
"I miss mama too," The other girl replied, "Why did they take us away from her?"
"Because…"
/So sleep now my darling…
Sleep with the twilight…
Sleep 'neath the moonlight…
Wake with the morning…/
"I'm scared…" whispered the sister. She clutched the girl to her as the men in white entered the room again.
"It's okay… They want me this time."
"Why?"
"Because…"
/The moon rises softly…
The stars sparkle brightly…
Sleep now, my darling…
Forever and always…/
"What did they do to you!?" The older girl caught her sister as she stumbled. Her green eyes spoke of exhaustion, yet the doctors ignored her and turned from the room.
"It's okay. They only drew blood."
Silence…
"The other girl is leaving."
"Which one?" Asked the sister.
"The singing one. Her mother came for her today. The doctors are letting her go."
"Why?"
"Because…"
/Dreaming of happiness…
Dreaming of morning…
Dreaming of moonlight…
Dream now my sweet one…/
The sister cried, alone in the room.
Why are you crying?
"Sister? Where are you?"
I'm in another room. They gave me a cat.
"I miss you! Come back! Make them bring you back here!"
I can't…
"Please, Kimiko! Come back!"
…The doctors gave me a new name…
"What?"
They call me 'Suu'.
"Why?"
Because…
/So sleep now my darling…
Sleep with the twilight…
Sleep 'neath the moonlight…
Wake with the morning…/
"Why don't you eat something?" The doctor tried to tempt the sister with a piece of fruit.
"I'm not hungry.
"But you're losing weight, you're just skin and bones."
"…"
"…I'll leave it here. If you get hungry, you can eat it."
"…"
/Sleeping and dreaming…
Dreaming and waking…
Sleep now my darling…
Sleep now my sweet one..,/
/I miss you./
I know…
Why don't you eat?
/I don't want to… I miss you…/
You said that already.
/Did I/
Yes.
/Well, I do. I miss you. They took you away from me…/
But I'm right here…
/I can't see you. They took you away…/
Does that make you sad?
/Yes. You're my sister. I love you./
…
What is love?
/You don't know?/
No…
If loving me makes you sad, why do you do it?
/Because… It also makes me happy…/
…I don't understand…
/…Kimiko…/
I'm' Suu'.
/'Suu'…/
/I love you, Suu… I wish you would love me too…/
…If you don't eat something, you will die…
/I know… but I'm a 'Clover', too…/
Are you? What can you do?
/I didn't know…not till now…/
What is it?
/I die…/
Why?!
/Because…/
/The moon rises softly…
The stars sparkle brightly…
Sleep now, my darling…
Forever and always…/

Clover does not belong to me. It belongs to Clamp. Therefore, I don't own anything in this fic except the sister who conveniently is not named and dies at the end. Thank you.
