Unknown

Syaoran woke up, his mouth, head, and back throbbing with pain. He tried his best to look around and saw that he was lying on his bed. 'How did I get here? '

Sakura quietly came into the room and sat next to him. She asked, "Do you feel okay?"

"Not really. It feels like someone hammered my head and my face. How did I get here, anyway?" Syaoran said, his hand on his head. Sakura looked at him strangely.

"I found you outside and I brought you here. What happened to you?" she replied. Syaoran tried to remember.

"I was heading towards the door, but someone punched me in the face and threw me at the wall," he explained, his back aching. Sakura gave him a hot compress and he lay down on his stomach and put it on his back.

"Well, I called the school doctor, but she's not in her office. I'll call her again," she said, standing up. Syaoran grabbed her arm and looked at her pleadingly.

"Don't let her come near me...," he begged; Sakura remembered that he had a fear of women.

"But she's the school doctor. You won't get better if you just stay like this; she'll give you some medicine," she said, trying to persuade him. Syaoran shook his head and seemed like he was in deep thought.

"It's probably because of THEM," he concluded quietly, his face serious. "I wonder what they're planning this time."

Sakura watched Syaoran's face have a pained look and then a serious look. 'I wonder what his other facial expressions look like?' she grinned, her eyes shining with mischief. He looked at her and a chill ran down his spine. 'Something bad is going to happen...'

She stood up slowly and walked towards his bed; Syaoran scooted away to the edge of the bed as she came closer. Sakura was smiling, her hands behind her back. She reached his bed and sat next to him.

Without warning, Sakura began to tickle Syaoran, making him laugh. Instead of trying to get away, he also tickled Sakura; they began laughing together and fell off the bed. Syaoran landed on top of Sakura; both of them blushed.



"Um... what a situation," Syaoran said, trying to get up; unfortunately, his injured back was killing him and he couldn't get up. To make matters worse, Eriol and Tomoyo skipped into the room at that exact moment and saw them. Syaoran on top of Sakura.

"Great... Just great," Sakura heard Syaoran mutter under his breath.

XOXO

"We're sorry, dear cousin. We didn't know you were... BUSY. We'll leave now," Eriol commented, smirking.

"This isn't what you think!" Syaoran replied, glaring at Eriol. "Er... can you help me up? I can't get up right now," he asked, embarrassed. Eriol smiled and took Tomoyo's hand; they left.

After much effort, Syaoran got up and lie down on his bed. He turned away from Sakura.

"I-I'll get another hot compress," she said quietly, her face red. Syaoran didn't turn around because if he did, she would have seen that his face was also red.

XOXO

The next day, Syaoran was excused from class. Sakura left early and when he woke up, she was gone.

'Of all things that could happen...'


I'm sorry for the short chapters... This chapter isn't that good, but... the upcoming chapters will be better...
