Tell Her She's Amazing

Author's Note: Hi. Sorry but I made a mistake in Chapter seven. I wrote "chapter eight" instead, haha, I hope it didn't make anyone confused.

Chapter Eight: Fever

When Sakura arrived at school the next day, she was bruised and battered on the outside; on the inside she felt nauseous and sick. She knew she had a bad fever, but she forced herself to go to school. Her stepfather would never take her to the doctors, let alone buy medicine.

The students whispered when Sakura passed them, and she returned an icy glare. She slumped into her chair. Syaoran arrived early as well, and was in fury when he saw Sakura's state.

"Sakura! What happened to you?" he asked.

"Erghh, nothing. Leave me alone," she said groggily. Her head was pounding and she felt like she was running through fire.

"Sakura, you're all red. Are you sure you feel okay?" he asked, concerned.

"GO AWAY!" cried Sakura, mustering up all the energy left in her system.

A look of hurt crossed Syaoran's face. "I have to protect you, Sakura."

Sakura just left him standing there when the bell rang. Sakura felt nauseous during P.E. Unfortunately, the class had to run six laps as practice in the beginning. After one lap, Sakura felt the world was spinning. Suddenly, she fell unconscious on the ground.

"KINOMOTO!" yelled the instructor, 'This is not the time to play games. Get up!"

Students snickered, but Sakura did not respond. He went over to her and nudged her. Syaoran felt mad that they would think Sakura was pretending. He ran over to her. "She's unconscious! Can't you see that? What kind of teacher are you?"

"Li. You do not speak to me like that. You and Sakura are going to go home. I am giving you a half day suspension."

Syaoran did not care. He was glad since he can take Sakura to the hospital.

At the Tomoeda Hospital, the nurses put Sakura in a bed in a private room. Syaoran was rich so he paid for all the expenses. Sakura was still sleeping so he sat by her bed. Apparently, she was suffering a bad case of pneumonia.

Two hours later…

"My head…."

Syaoran fell asleep on Sakura's bed. He opened his eyes and found Sakura awake, trying to reach a glass of water. Syaoran quickly rushed to her aid and poured a cup of water for her.

"Thanks. Why am I in the hospital?" Sakura asked, "And why are you here? It's two o'clock! We should be in school!"

Syaoran explained what had happened. "It's all right."

"You got a half day suspension because of me?" Sakura asked.

"Whatever it's okay."

"What did you do?"

"Nothing…."

"Fine, don't tell me. I'm going home now. Ja ne," said Sakura, pretending to get out of bed.

Syaoran stopped her, "No! Okay, I just kind of talked back to the P.E teacher. Well, he thought you were faking unconscious."

Sakura laughed. "I still have to go though. Because stepfather is going to kill me. Also, hospital fares get pretty expensive, I can't afford it, not to mention I'm also in a private room! Also, I'm not missing school!" explained Sakura.

Syaoran reassured her, "Don't worry; I paid for your expenses already. I'll bring you school work as well. I already finished my homework so I'll stay with you tonight. And who cares about him?"

"You don't have to. I never owe anyone anything. What do you want for all this?" asked Sakura. I'm sorry Syaoran, I just can't trust you yet, trusting people is too hard, she thought sadly. She thought about Eriol and Tomoyo backstabbing her, and how her mother remarried even though she promised she would love Fukjitaka forever.

Syaoran looked amazed. "Nothing, Sakura! I'm doing all this from my heart."

Sakura was about to answer, until she started to cough uncontrollably.

"You still have a fever of 104.5. You have pneumonia. What happened to you?" said Syaoran worriedly.

Sakura continued to cough until Syaoran gave her a cup of water. She started to explain what happened when she got home to when she had to stay in the backyard. Hearing all of this, Syaoran pulled Sakura over and hugged her. But she pulled away.

"Why?" he asked Sakura. She looked away, trying to think of a reasonable excuse.

As she was about to say something, Eriol stepped in.

Author's Note: Thanks for all the reviews. And about Eriol, there's something special about him. I'm getting a idea and I'm working on it, you'll find out who he is at the end. I didn't expect so much reviews for my last chapter so here's another chapter just for awesome CCS fans! Reviews reviews!
