I Want To Live

Chapter 1

Sakura was, for one, very surprised to encounter a metal tray fly out of a nearby room. She narrowly avoided getting beamed by one. A few more objects flew out, chasing out a poor dark-haired doctor. He danced around, desperately trying to dodge the objects being hurled at him. Finally a tray hit him square in the head, knocking him to the ground.

Her mouth agape, she slowing walked backwards. "Oookay…" she inched away, pretending nothing happened. She walked back to her brother's room and sat back down in the chair near his bed.

She looked at him sadly. He was sleeping now. "Oh, Touya…" she sighed, reaching over to further tuck him into the covers. The room was filled with comfortable silence until… suddenly her stomach burst into a ferocious growl.

Touya cracked an eye open. She blushed. "Hehe…good afternoon!"

He smiled. "Hey kaijuu…" he whispered in a hoarse voice.

Sakura pouted. She wasn't even mad at him for saying that. She was just glad that he was up and talking.

"You sound hungry…how long have you been here anyway? Get out of here! I don't appreciate stomachs growling in my ear while I sleep" he playfully shooed her out of his hospital room.

"Alright, alright!" she walked out the door and headed towards the cafeteria. She passed by the room of which metal flying objects were previously flown out of. The mess has been cleaned up. She noted.

The doctor who had been chased out suddenly walked out of the room. "Oh! Excuse me." He apologized as he rammed into Sakura. He brushed his navy hair out of his face.

Sakura smiled. "It's no problem." He smiled back. They stood there for a while until she finally spoke up.

"Sooo…uh, how's your head?" Sakura asked.

"My head?" he was thoroughly bewildered. "Oh." He rubbed the throbbing part of his head. "Did you see all that?"

Sakura laughed nervously. "Heh…yah"

"Oh well, I'm fine. Thanks for your concern. I'm Hiirigazawa Eriol, doctor of the patient who, uh…threw me out." He put on an embarrassed smile.

She stuck out her hand. "I'm Kinomoto Sakura. My brother, Touya, is in the room down the hall." She jerked her thumb behind her.

"Aa. May I ask why?" He mentally winced at his question. He knew he was being extremely rude.

Sakura looked downwards. She smiled weakly. "He has a brain tumor."

Eriol offered a sad smile. "I'm so sorry…well, I hope we can become good friends!" he ruffled her auburn hair.

"Of course!" Sakura exclaimed. "Well, I gotta go!" she waved as she continued down the hall.

On the way down she spotted a nursery for disabled kids. Her curiosity pricked as she opened the large swinging doors to the room.

She was greeted with a few kids playing or running around and a woman leaning on a desk watching the kids with a soft smile playing on her lips. The woman had long, wavy lavender-gray hair. Her amethyst eyes sparkled with delight as she welcomed the new visitor. "Hi! Can I help you?"

"Ah…uh…um…I was just curious…um do you mind if I look around?" Sakura stammered. She really had no excuse for being there.

"OF COURSE!" the woman clapped her hands in her excitement. "I'm Daidouji Tomoyo, by the way. I work here with the kids, and sometimes I am a part-time nurse."

"Kinomoto Sakura. Please, call me Sakura!" She acknowledged. She walked around the room and finally squatted between two kids. The little girl seemed to be scolding the little boy sitting with her.

"No more lies! Lying bad!" the girl lectured.

"But chocolate IS doggie doo and sugar mixed together!" (ew) he whined back.

"Hey guys." Sakura said, making herself known. "Whatcha up to?"

"Oh hey Big Sis'!" the little boy waved. "We just playin'"

"I'm Kinomoto Sakura, but you can call me Sakura." She introduced herself.

"Can we call you Big Sis'?" the boy asked.

"Sure…why not?"

The little girl finally piped up. "I'm Chiharu! He's Takahashi. He's a bad boy. He tell lies!" she pointed an accusing finger.

Sakura laughed. "Well then why don't we quit arguing for a while? I'm new here! So can you show me around?"

The two immediately brightened up. The each grasped her hand on either side of her and towed her around the room, blabbing explanations and introducing her to the other kids.

Sakura was soon introduced to a little girl named Rika, a teenager named Terada, and

Tomoyo smiled. Sakura quickly became a friend and a 'Big Sis' to them all. The children love her. You'd have to be blind to not see it.

Finally Sakura came back to chat with Tomoyo. She was grinning ear to ear.

"They love you." Tomoyo spoke softly.

"I love them more!" Sakura sighed. She leaned against the counter. "I wish I never had to leave!"

"BIG SIS! COME BACK AND PLAY!" Chiharu bellowed from behind her.

"Coming!" Sakura called back. "Well that's my cue!" she grinned at Tomoyo and turned around to play with the adorable kids once more.

I wish I never had to leave…

Tomoyo was severely touched by Sakura's words. She wished Sakura never had to leave either. She loved seeing the toddlers' faces light up with delight as Sakura chased them around the room or tickled them and laughed at all the jokes they shared with her. They absolutely LOVED her and it broke her heart to think that she might never come back and the kids would be totally devastated. Suddenly as she was pondering over the thought her light bulb clicked on (y'know, like BOING!)

"Sakura!" she called. She watched Sakura ease herself out of the kids' grip as she explained that she had to leave for a moment, but promised to be right back.

"Yes?"

"Why don't you work here? And you can become a part-time nurse as well like me! You can stay here with the kids and we also need to enroll some new employees. The pay isn't that bad and we can be, like, BESTEST FRIENDS!" Tomoyo squealed excitedly.

Sakura was also ecstatic about the idea. "Yah! And I can stay close to my brother Touya…he's staying here at the hospital…brain tumor…" she answered her new friend's questioning look.

Tomoyo nodded sadly. "I really hope that your brother will get better!" she said as rummaged for some paperwork for Sakura to fill out. She handed them to her as she explained some necessary details. "Just fill out all of these and hand it to the Main Desk up front," she pointed in the direction. "And if they ask, tell them that Daidouji Tomoyo recommended you. Here, I'll sign this little note…" she quickly scribbled something down on the registration sheet. Then she beamed. "Here! Please fill it out ASAP!"

Sakura could only smile with delight as she accepted the papers. "I should really be going now. I'm gonna say good bye to the kids then." She turned around and announced her leave, only to be bombarded with loud moans and wails.

"Don't worry! I'll be coming back here everyday…I promise!" she pinky-promised Chiharu who wasn't so certain about the woman's promise.

As she finally left the nursery despite all the groans coming from inside, she forgot all about her hunger and headed back to her brother's room.

She passed by the room where Doctor Hiirigazawa got thrown out of. Room 45. She noticed the room number as she stopped right in front of the doorway. Once again, her curiosity pricked as she stepped inside the room.

It was quite dark inside. The thick, heavy curtains were probably preventing the bright rays from entering the dreary room. A table that was usually used for gifts was bare. It was unusual for her to see. Most occupied rooms were filled with balloons and flowers and cards. This one had nothing.

She immediately felt bad for the person. How sad it is that nobody seems to care. As she rounded the corner to finally see the face of the person…

BAM!

"OW SHIT!" Sakura wailed as she clutched her throbbing head. She doubled over in pain wailing all the while.

A metal tray was apparently hurled at Sakura's head. She glanced up to see the guy staring at her with wide amber eyes. "Oh geez…at least say SORRY for maliciously beaming a metal thing at my poor innocent face."

"YOU IDIOT!" she snapped as she hurled the tray right back at him.

"Whoa!" the guy fell out of the bed trying to avoid the metal object.

"I'm sorry!" he cried. "I thought you were the doctor."

"Well even if I WAS the doctor, you shouldn't beam things at him! It's rude!" she rubbed her throbbing head. "And sore." She added.

"You talk about rude, and you threw it right back at me!" he protested.

"Well only 'cuz you threw at me first!" she argued back.

"I said I was sorry!"

"Ya, well you weren't the one who got hit in the face!"

"I know. I'm glad too. I can't let something damage my beautiful face." He rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Sakura glared. "What are you talking about 'beautiful'? I think a crack in the face can actually do some good for your ugliness!"

The guy looked pointedly at her. "You're no Barbie doll either."

"Not like I'd want to be a plastic anyways," she snapped back,

The guy sighed. "Look I'm sorry. Now is there a reason to WHY you're here?"

Sakura faltered. "Uh….." she smiled sheepishly and shrugged.

The guy gave her a you-know-you're-weird look. He brushed back his chocolate hair. He sighed once more. "You know, while you're here, you might as well fetch me a soda," he waved her off.

Sakura stomped her foot and scowled. "I'M NOT YOUR FREAKIN' SERVANT!" she growled. "Get it yourself…" she muttered.

He feigned hurt. "Aw…is that you treat a sickly man? I wonder now…how do you treat your loved one here in this hospital?"

Sakura gasped. "ACK! TOUYA!" she rushed out of the room calling over her shoulder, "BYE DUDE! SEE YOU LATER!"

He looked out the door where that weird girl just ran out. She was some character.

Sakura was stepping into her brother's room when she realized that she didn't even get his name. "Oh darn." She snapped her fingers. "I guess I'll get it later."

Once more seating herself by her brother, she took his hand and started to whisper to him. "I have to go. But I'll be back. I got a job here Touya! Now we can be closer together…" she squeezed his hand reassuringly. Then she turned out of his room.

It seemed like a good idea to catch the guy's name. As she slowly walked down the hall, she mused over what his name might be. Hopefully, it wasn't something dorky. It SO did not match someone as hott as him. She giggled. As she approached the room, she stifled the urge to giggle as she remembered the ghetto name in her music book. "I hope his name isn't Richard Humperdick," she snorted.

"Chelloz!" she sang cheerfully to the dreary room.

The guy sat up abruptly in his bed.

"What's up?" he replied.

"Hey ya, I forgot to catch your name…uh…"

"Syaoran Li." He filled her in.

"Oh! Thanks Li." Sakura beamed. "I'm glad it's not Richard Humperdick…" she muttered to herself.

"What was that?" Syaoran asked.

"Wha-? Oh! Nothing…hehe…"

"Uh ya. Anyways, you may call me Syaoran if you like."

Sakura smiled. "Okay."

Syaoran looked at her expectantly.

"What!"

"I think you forgot to give me your name."

"OH! Yes…um, SORRY! Well…uh, I'm Sakura Kinomoto. Please call me Sakura!" she stuck out her hand and shook his hand vigorously.

"Sakura…I like that name. Where I come from you'd be called Ying Fa," he informed her.

"Oh, so you're from China?" she asked, absolutely fascinated. Her eyes shone with glee.

Syaoran grinned. "Ya. So my name is actually Xiao Lang."

The rest of the time Syaoran continued to trade stories about his childhood in China, until the grouchy nurse shooed her out of the room.

"Bye Syaoran! I'll see you tomorrow." She waved enthusiastically back at him.

He waved back.

He watched the door close on her shining face.

All the light seemed to drain from the room. Everything was dark. And lonely. He hated being left alone in the dark. He immediately missed the bubbly girl. For that one moment she made him feel alive again.

It was fun to have someone to tease again.

He hoped to see her again soon. His thoughts drifted over to the memories they just shared as he soon fell into a soothing sleep.
