Chapter 2

Not Alone Anymore

And the rain continued pouring. It's like the rain is trying to say something. What is it? No one knows even I don't know. Anyway back to the story.

(Syaoran's POV)

After a long tiring day of seemingly bad luck, here I am now sitting next to the girl who I think is kinda crazy. I know it's not good to call her crazy. But hey! You can't blame me even you would think that way if someone suddenly comes to your life telling you that they are sent from heaven down here to protect you. Sent from heaven eh? I don't bite it! Why? 'Cause I don't believe in angels and the word some called "LOVE", it's not in my dictionary anymore. They say angels will come to the rescue when you are in danger, that's just lies parents tell their children it isn't true! I'm not that dumb to believe to it. But I used to believe it though my beliefs changed that one unfortunate event. But I don't like flashbacks right now. Maybe some other time, okay?

"I'm giving you 10 minutes after that you can leave." I told her.

"Okay. First of all, you're Li Syaoran right?" she asked. I raised an eyebrow at her before I nod.

"I just want to make things clear. My name is Sakura and I'm an angel." she said. Oh here we go again. How long will she keep saying that she's an angel?

"Alright I believe you." I said sarcastically.

"Really? I didn't think it'll this easy to convince you." she said. Doesn't this girl know whether you're being sarcastic or not?

"I'm being sarcastic, Sa...what's your name again?"

"I'm Sakura. What do you mean by sarcastic?" she asked. I guess she doesn't really know. Maybe 10 minutes is not enough.

"It's if the person you're talking to says something that he doesn't really mean or more like what he said is the opposite of what he just said." he explained.

"So you don't believe me then." she said sadly.

"Right. I mean I don't. You see what you're trying to tell me is a little or maybe so unbelievable." I told her and a pout comes out from her face.

"Is that so? But I'm really telling the truth. I'm here to protect you from accidents that will 'cause you to die." she said to me. Doesn't she know how to stop?

"Yeah right." I said totally ignoring her.

"Would you believe me if you see me like this?" she asked. What is this girl up to this time? And there she was...floating or better yet flying. I can't believe it! My eyes must be playing tricks with me.

"Wh-what?" I uttered in disbelief. This is real. The girl in front of me has a pair of wings on her back and a light glowing above her head. Wait that wasn't right. It's a halo!!

"Do you believe me now?" she asked. Poof. And then the pair of wings that was on the girl's back was now gone. the next thing I knew is that she is now seated next to me.

"Sigh. Now I can only use my wings 2 times more. You better believe me now." she said.

"I believe you now so maybe you can now go." without another word from her, I grabbed her hand and guided her to the door.

"You don't get it, do you? I have to stay here and protect you." she continued as we are now on my front door once again.

"Why? It's not like an accident would happen to me?" I asked and to my surprise a lightning strike at the ground only inches away from us.

"Whoa! Didn't see that coming!"

"You see!" she said happily. It's like she's happy we almost got hit by a lightning.

"It's just a coincidence!" I said slamming the door at her. Wait a sec! What if she tries to jump off the cliff again? Nah...But what if? She's not that stupid right? But I think I better keep my eyes on her. Just in case.

(Normal POV)

30 minutes have already passed and it is now 9 in the evening yet Syaoran is still standing beside the window watching the girl's every movement not letting her out of his sight.

"Isn't she going to leave? Is what I saw earlier real? Is she really an angel?" he asked himself. The last question stayed in his mind. Wanting an answer. And the long night ended. Syaoran went to sleep.

The morning after...

The rain still is pouring heavily.

"Looks like there won't be classes' today." he told himself as he step out of bed. He went to the kitchen and started ransacking the fridge.

"Oh crap! I forgot to buy groceries yesterday. I should just get something delivered." and so he dialed the telephone number of his favorite past food chain.

After 25 minutes, someone rang the door bell so Syaoran quickly fetch it.

"Here you go, Sir. Please order again." the delivery guy said and Syaoran hand him the money.

"Keep the change." Syaoran was about to close the door when. "Sir why is your friend there in your garden? She'll catch a cold if she continued staying there while the rain is pouring like this." the delivery guy added. Syaoran gave him a confuse glare as he leave.

"What is that guy talking about?" Syaoran asked. He places the food in the dining table before he went outside. There he found the girl or better yet the "angel" soaking wet staring innocently at him.

"What do you think you're doing?! You'll catch a cold at this rate!" he scolded pulling the girl as he goes.

"I don't care." she muttered. Syaoran then took a stop a few feet away to the door.

Sigh "So what is it about this time?" Syaoran stopped.

"I don't care anymore. I can't do the mission I've been atoned then I don't care what happens to me anymore." she said.

"So what are you implying? That you're not going to come inside with me? Fine! Let's just both stay here." he responded and sat in the swing. Sakura look at him.

"Fine lets go." she said giving up and started walking to the door. Syaoran smile before following her when all of a sudden that girl in front of him falls to the ground. He quickly run up to her and grabbed her.

"Hey are you okay?" he asked but no response was heard. He places a palm over her head.

"She's burning up!" he shouted and quickly carry her inside to his room. No wonder she's burning up? Even you would catch a cold when you stay up in the rain while it pours like that. Syaoran place her in his bed. He ransacks his sister's old clothes and take some out and place them in the bed. He left to fetch a wet towel. Syaoran gently place the wet towel on the girl's forehead. He grabbed the clothes in the bed.

"So what now?" he asked himself looking at the clothes in his hands and to the girl.

"Should I? NO! But she's soaking wet for goodness sake. There's no harm in what I'm going to do. I won't look. Here goes nothing." he then started coming closer to the girl. He close his eyes and started taking off the clothes he lend her last night. As soon as Syaoran manage to finish changing her clothes, that's when he opened his eyes. To his surprise, the girl in front of him is staring at him.

"Ack!! I didn't look I promise!!" he said defending himself as he blush like a ripe tomato. The girl then stretches out his arms to him. She was staring blankly at him. And then...she grabbed onto him?!

"Thank you." she said with a giggle.

"Huh?" he uttered in confusion.

"For taking care of me even though you don't know me..." and soon her voice came weak and hoarse. Her grasp onto Syaoran loosen up and soon she has fallen back to the bed. Sleeping peacefully.

"She's really something." he whispered studying her. He just can't help but smile as he look at her. It has been a long time since he had smile. There's something about her that made him do so.

'So should I take her in?' he asked himself as he return to the kitchen. It's a good thing he ordered some noodles. He changed his clothes before returning to the room where the girl is resting. And there she was, staring blankly in space.

"Are you feeling fine now?" he asked.

"Yeah. Thanks." she replied feeling a little down.

"You sure? 'Cause if you ask me you don't seem like it." he said sitting next to her.

"How can you say that? You've only known me for an hour or so." she asked.

"I really don't know. Anyway here you go." Syaoran said and hand her the bowl of hot noodles.

"Thanks." she said once again but a little energetic than before.

"So can I ask why are you feeling a little down?"

"Eh?"

"Oh I'm sorry 'bout that, I shouldn't have ask." he apologized.

"I can tell you." and so Sakura told him all about her life. The heart break, the pain, the teasing, everything. He just listens intently and let her speak her mind. She needed it anyway.

"Is that so? It must be really hard being an angel." he said. So does he believe her now?

"An angel? So do you believe me now?!" she asked excitedly.

"Kinda. But there's something I wanted to ask you first before I totally believe you." he said.

"What is it? I'll do anything!" she said.

"Why are you doing this? I mean why do you have to save me? Why me? And why do you keep saying that accidents will be following me so you have to save me?" he asked. Sakura can't help but sweat dropped at all the questions.

"Okay I'll tell you but you have to promise one thing." she started.

"Okay. What is it then?" he asked.

"You should promise not to be angry and that you'll let me stay here until my mission is finally finish." she said.

"Okay, I promise." he said crossing his heart. And so Sakura told Syaoran everything that happened and why she's hear in earth, why she keeps saying she needs to protect him and the likes. After her story, she looked at Syaoran who is staring at her. He doesn't look mad at all.

"You're not angry?" she asked. He shook his head and smile.

"Nah. Do you want me to?" he asked.

"Of course not." she said.

Yawn "I'm sleepy. I'll go get some sleep in the living room. Just stay here and rest." he said.

"Okay." she said. Syaoran was about to leave when he suddenly took a stop.

"Can I ask you something, Sakura?"

"What is it?" she asked.

"If that machine you're talking about didn't break, when will I die?" he asked.

"About...5 five years from now." she said sadly.

"Okay. I'll be at the living room just call me if you need anything. You can stay in my room for a while." he said and walks off. Sakura lay on the bed as soon as Syaoran is gone and she drifted off to sleep.

At 4:00 p.m, the rain then stop but Sakura and Syaoran are both still past asleep but at 6:00 Syaoran woke Sakura up so that she could join him for dinner. At about 7 in the evening they both went back to sleep. Syaoran slept in the master's bedroom and Sakura on Syaoran's room.

At about 8 o'clock in the evening, the rain started falling again with loud scary thunder and some lightning that wake Sakura up.

"HOE!!" she shouted scared. She wrapped herself in the blanket. Her body is trembling like crazy but she stayed there in the room. She then felt footsteps coming closer to her room that made her more scared. The next thing she knew is that someone knocked at the door and then Syaoran is standing looking at her.

"I just came here to get some blanket in my closet." he said as he stare at the trembling angel.

"O-o-okay." she said. Syaoran then walks off to the closet in front of his bed. He took a blanket and walk up to Sakura. He looked at her worried.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Y-ye-yeah." she stammered.

"You don't look like it. Do you want me to watch over you?" he offered. Sakura shook her head and smile.

"D-do-don't b-bother. I r-really a-am f-fi-fine. J-just go g-get s-some s-sleep." she said.

"You sure?" he asked. Sakura just nod.

"Good night." he said and left the room. Sakura then sigh and went back to trying to sleep. And then she heard another scary thunder.

"WAH!!" she shouted.

"Maybe I should ask Syaoran-kun if I could stay in his room." she said to herself. Sakura step out of bed and took a pillow with her. She left the room and went to the master's bedroom. She knocks and entered the room and found Syaoran sitting in the bed with the lights off.

"Why are you still up?" she asked.

"I'm...not sleepy." he said even though he's worried about her that he couldn't go to sleep.

"Why are you here anyway?" he asked.

"Can I sleep here?" she asked.

"Okay." he said. Sakura went straight to the bed while Syaoran took a sleeping bag in the closet and place it on the floor.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"I'll be sleeping here."

"You can sleep here with me." she said.

"Eh?" he uttered. Sakura stood up and walk to him. She grabs his hand and guided him to the bed. He just obediently lie on the bed as Sakura lie next to him.

"Goodnight, Syaoran-kun." she said and sleep.

"Goodnight." he said blushing a bit.
