Chapter 1 sudden awakening
Syaoran thrashed about in his sleep. Sakura, his Sakura was dying. She seemed to be in a bright realm. Cherry blossom petals rained around her form, which was lying down in a soft bed. Her short hair was spread around, some falling on her face; the rest framed it. Her breaths were slow and shallow, and she seemed to be whispering something, but it was incoherent and indecipherable. Floating above her were ghost-like spirits, waiting for her to pass on. "no," Syaoran begged the spirits, "please, don't let her die."
"Are you that desperate for her life?" an airy voice calls out.
"Yes, please, anything, just don't let her die."
"Very well, your wish has been granted."
Syaoran's phone rings, jerking him out of his sleep. Groggily, he reaches out for his phone.
"He-hello?"
"hey
brat, you got some explaining to do," Touya said aggressively,
still harboring a bit of disliking for the boy.
"Why? What did I do, huh?" Syaoran retorted defensively. It had been a long time since Touya had even talked to him, so this shocked Syaoran greatly.
"I got some message from the hospital that Sakura's in the ICU at Nagasa Byouin. What did you do?"
"Me? I didn't do any—wait. Sakura's in the hospital?!?" Hearing this, Syaoran immediately hangs up, grabs a coat, and runs towards the hospital. Sakura, please be all right. Kami-sama, please let her be alright.
