A/n: Hello you guys! I'm sorry if ever I didn't update that fast… At least, I finished chapter 10, right? Thank you guys, to the people who reviewed! I appreciate very much! Thank you again! As I promised, longer and more exciting! That's all!
Oh yeah! Read and Review!
To the readers:
I forgot to tell you guys how Candice and her gang look like. Well, I'll describe them now:Let's start with Alyssa, a.k.a. Cruela, she's called 'Cruela' because she's so skinny and puts on so much make-up in her face. She has brown hair and red eyes.
Then, Jamie, a.k.a. Ursula, not as if she looks chubby or anything, she just looks like Ursula herself the thin version. Grayish hair and yellow eyes.
Last but not the least, Candice, as you all know, Maleficent is the most cruel ever enemy, and she's the most bossy. As far as I know, Candice has blonde hair and green emerald eyes same as Sakura, but she hid it with her contact lenses, giving her a dull, gray color.

Chapter 10:
Confrontations
……………………………………
Kero's POV
"Another day to rejoice!" –Stretching his tiny arms. He got out of his tiny bed. – "Birds chirping!" –Looks out of the open window. He saw chirping birds in a nearby tree. – "Sun is shining very bright!" –Light shined through the window pane and on his face. – "The clouds are perfect!" –Stares at the sky and saw clouds. - "The weather is fine!" – No sign of rain or dark cloud. –"Everything is going in the right place! What could possibly ruin this perfect day!?" –Smiles. – "Why would I ask…?" –Turns into frown. –
-Then suddenly, Sakura came out of nowhere and accidentally hits Kero on the head and left him lying on the floor unconscious. - "I'm late! I'm late! I'm late! AHH!!!" Sakura shouted, leaving the poor unconscious Kero behind. "I hate it when she does that…" I said, while my eyes are spinning.
End of POV
Sakura runs downstairs. Touya is sitting in front of the dining table, drinking coffee and reading a newspaper. Sakura runs past through him and gets her toast and quickly ran out of the house. She gets on her bicycle and paddled away. Touya stood up and gets the bento above the kitchen table and walks out of the house.
"Be sure to give that to her, Touya." Fujitaka said, smiling.
"Yeah." Touya lazily replied. He wears his coat and walks out of the house and towards Sakura's school. He walks towards a corner, but suddenly a bike passed a few inches away from him. The bike stops and the rider get off of his bike.
"Yo!" A boy with gray hair and glasses greeted.
"Morning, Yukito…" Touya lazily yawned.
"Nice to see you again, Touya. Where are you heading?" Yukito asks.
"I'm going to Seijou High, want to come?" Touya asks.
"Sure, why not. That's where Sakura-chan is studying right?" Yuki asks.
Touya nodded.
"It's been so long… Well, I have to inform you." Yuki in a serious face, "The cards are out again. I saw one of them lurking in the night. I don't have the power to go to my other form because of the escape. Does Fuji-sama know what's happening?"
Touya nodded.
Yukito smiled.
……………………………………………
Sakura ran as fast as she can. She went to her locker and threw the letters into the bin and got all her books, then closes her locker quickly and also changes her shoes to the school shoes. But, something stopped her. Her school shoes are broken. It has a scratch on it and you could barely walk in it. Sakura bears all the pain as long as she gets to class, not late. She looks at her wristwatch. '7:05! Man! Five minutes late! Hope the teacher isn't there yet…' Sakura thought dreadfully.
Sakura stood in front of her classroom, panting. Sakura slid the door open. The teacher was already there. She sighs. She bowed to her teacher, "Sorry I'm late!"
"Kinomoto, detention later! Now, go to your seat and answer page 73!" Their math teacher ordered angrily. Sakura went to her seat. She saw Eriol and Eriol smiled at her. Syaoran is in his seat looking out of the window and listening to his walkman. And as usual, Candice is clinging on Syaoran. Sakura sits at her seat with a miserable face.
The day went on… (Don't want to think what will happen the whole day)
Lunch…
"Oh man! I forgot my lunch again!" Sakura cried. She's alone in the hallway, and then someone showed up. Candice is walking towards her. Candice stops in front of her. They both had an eye-to-eye contact for a minute. Then, Candice walks away.
Sakura gapes at the floor. Tomoyo saw her friend and approaches her.
"Ne, Saku-chan! Let's go to the rooftop, Syaoran-kun and Eriol-kun are waiting for us!" Tomoyo told her. She looks at her friend who is staring blankly at the floor. Sakura snaps back to reality and went ahead of Tomoyo.
'Why are you acting so weird today, Saku-chan?' Tomoyo looks at the back, 'is it because of an unforgettable, experience with… Candice?'
Then, Tomoyo went to the rooftop also.
………………………………………
"Go home already, Tomoyo, I'm detained. You don't need to wait for me." Sakura sadly said. She faced Tomoyo and gave her a fake smile. Tomoyo nodded and went away. Sakura entered the classroom and sits in one of the seats. A teacher entered after a few minutes. She looks at the wall clock. She plays with her hair. After an hour, the teacher already went away. Sakura stayed for a few minutes inside the classroom and looks at the sunset out of the window.
After five minutes, she went outside of the classroom. As she closes the door, she saw someone standing at the opposite side she's standing. She notices who is it and stood straight. That figure stood in front of her and slaps her. It was Candice.
"You plastic!" Candice pinned Sakura to the wall, "Do you know how much I suffered in this world because of you!?" Tears fell from her eyes. Candice grips Sakura's collar and is lifting her in a few inches. Both of Sakura's hands are trying to loose the grip of Candice's, "All this life I have trusted you, and then you left me getting everything that I have cared! I suffered for a very long time, Sakura! Not just a little time!"
Tears also started to fall from Sakura's eyes, "I-I didn't do i-it o-on pur-pose… Its n-not my f-fault… And if ever I have took y-your h-happi-ness away… I-I'm sorry… but I d-didn't do i-it on purpose…" Sakura tried to breathe and speak.
"Don't bother talking! You've taken everything, and now you're going to take Syaoran away from me! No, not going, you already have taken him! It hurts Sakura, it hurts! You don't know how much I'm suffering inside!" Candice shouted at her. Candice's grip loosens. Sakura backs away and is inches away from Candice. Behind Candice is the stairs.
"W-what do you mean, I have already taken him?" Sakura said trembling.
"I'll tell you…" Candice started.
Flashback
I went to him you see.
"Syaoran! Hello!" I greeted.
"What do you want!?" He said coldly.
"Nothing, it's just that…" Then I kissed him… on the lips. Instead of kissing me back, he pushed me away. He pinned me to the wall and glared at me, "Why did you do that!?"
"Because I love you!"
"So!? That's not a reasonable excuse to reason out. You know that I don't like you. You know how much I have suffered before… because of that stupid love! When did you ever think I will love you!?"
"You love her don't you!?" I cried. I can't bear the pain, tears started to fall continuously.
"Her?"
"Yes! Her! Sakura! I know you loved her, why can't you love me!?"
"Because you're not her!"
"What's the difference between the both of us anyway!? It's not as if you can see something from her that you can't see from me!"
"I love her… not you… I care for her… not you…"
"How could you say that in front of me!? Can't you at least lie! It hurts! It hurts! Why!? You didn't even give me a single sympathy! You're that cold! How dare you!" I slapped him. Then, I ran away with a broken heart.
Now you know, are you happy!?
End of Flashback
Candice glares at her, "I wouldn't let you take him anymore!" Candice pushes Sakura. Candice got off balance and fell backwards. Sakura grabs Candice's wrist and pulled her closer. They fell with Sakura below and Candice on top. Sakura is unconscious and blood oozes out of her head. Candice carefully opens her eyes.
"Saku-chan! Saku-chan! Wake up, please!" Candice shook Sakura. Candice got very scared and ran away. She left Sakura there. Sakura was so ready to die. She thought of already she's going to die. So much blood is creeping out of her head. Her hair got messed by the blood. Someone knelt down to her level and placed a hand on her shoulder. Someone lifted her head from the floor.
Sakura got conscious and realizes what happened. She buries her head on the chest of this someone. Sakura tried to clarify who the person that comforted her, "Syaoran…" She murmured.
"Shh… Don't talk; I'll treat your bump on the head and other injuries. So, don't worry, you won't die… I'm here." Syaoran caringly said. Sakura smiled and clutches Syaoran's polo shirt and cried on his chest. He pulls her closer to himself. Her head was now on his chest, his hands brushed through her soft auburn hair, and his other hand lay beneath her waist. Syaoran comforted her for a moment and then he carried her bridal style.
Candice hid from behind the corner of the wall. She's holding a first-aid kit, and then drops it when she saw what happened between Syaoran and Sakura. Tears again began to fall. She fell unto her knees. She stares at the floor and then tightens her fists.
"Ever so dear friend?" She murmured.
……………………………………
He went to the clinic, but found the room is already locked. He went outside the school building and went to a near-by hospital. But he thought that his house is nearer and would go there instead because her condition is getting worse. He's still halfway to his house when eventually it began to rain. He protected Sakura from the rain by pulling her closer to his chest. He sprinted and finally made it in his house. Both of them are soaking wet.
He went in and found no one in that house. He wondered where Wei went and Eriol hasn't arrived at home. He shook his head and went upstairs and into his room. He laid her at the bed gently and shakes her. Sakura responded by opening her eyes a little. She's breathing heavily by now.
"You need to change your clothes. You're soaked." Syaoran said. Water is dripping from his clothes and hair and everything. Sakura tried to sit up. Syaoran helps her to stand up. Sakura sat on the edge of the bed, feeling very weak. Lots of blood still leak from her head. Syaoran gets a white shirt from his dresser and gave it to Sakura.
"Here, change quickly, before you catch a cold. But its better if you take a shower and clean up." Syaoran commanded his head turned away. Sakura smiled weakly. She gets the shirt and went in the bathroom. After taking a shower, she puts on the shirt. Nothing on but the shirt, only the shirt! She went out of the bathroom with only the shirt on.
"Um… Well, maybe its better you put this on first." Syaoran gave a bath robe, "I still need to mend your wounds." Syaoran turned away. His back is facing Sakura. Sakura looks at him blankly. She took off the shirt and puts on the robe. Syaoran already changed his clothes.
"Um… Will you please treat it now… My head hurts… a lot." She informed. She sits on the bed. Syaoran gets a chair and grabs the first-aid kit on top of the study table. He leans on Sakura and examines her wound on the head. He opens the aid kit and prepared cotton dipped in a cream bottle. He dabbed the cotton with the brownish liquid in it on Sakura's head. He could hear Sakura's wince of pain.
"Don't even try complaining Kinomoto. You better try not to react." Syaoran said with a serious face on him. After dabbing her head with cotton and that thingy, He bandaged her head. (I don't know what the brownish thingy is called, I think its betadine, but I'm not sure) He threw the used cottons into the trash bin and dipped cotton into alcohol.
"What are you going to do?" Sakura asks as she watches Syaoran dipping another cotton wool into alcohol. She backs away a little.
"I still need to mend your bruises." Syaoran replied plainly. He grabs her wrist and pulled it, "Pull the sleeve up." Sakura pulled the sleeve and showed him her arm that is filled with wounds and bruises. He dabs the cotton on her wounds.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! It hurts!" Sakura bit her lip.
"Well, stick with it! It is better that your wounds will heal. After I do this, go get change. I'll bring you to the hospital." Syaoran informed.
"Nani!? Why?" Sakura asks childishly.
"Because I temporarily stopped the bleeding, we still need to know whether your head is somewhat broken or stuff. I just stopped the bleeding for a while, but it won't last long. Get it?" Syaoran said irritated.
"B-but…" Sakura pouted.
"Don't worry; I'll contact your family." Syaoran sighs.
Sakura nodded. He bandaged the wounds and bruises after applying alcohol. He went to the door and opened it.
"Where are you going?" Sakura asks.
"Like I said, we're going to the hospital. You need to change your clothes, so I'm going to get some. Stay there. I'll be back." Syaoran commanded.
He closes the door and left Sakura alone in his room. After a few minutes, He arrived carrying a paper bag. He went closer to Sakura and gave it to her.
"Change into this. Don't ask. Hurry." Syaoran said.
Sakura went inside the bathroom and changed into the clothes Syaoran gave her. She went out wearing a cute dress. The dress is Chinese-styled. It has a mandarin collar. The color is pink with Sakura flower pattern. It has Chinese hand-made butterfly buttons. It's sleeveless and two side slits. Also, it's knee length.
"I'm finish changing." Sakura said weakly. Her hair is let down, because of the bandage, but even if she has that bandage on her head, she still looks cute. Syaoran went out of the door and Sakura followed. He handed Sakura a coat.
"Here. You might as well wear this, you might get a cold." Syaoran informed, "Don't worry, I have one too." He grabs his and wears it. He looks at the injured Sakura behind him. He takes Sakura's hand and started walking towards the hospital. Sakura looks at him with disbelieving eyes, "So you won't trip anymore and sprain your ankle." He explained. She giggles. She smiles and leans on his shoulder, "Thank you… again…"
"You're welcome…" Syaoran replied.

Hospital
Touya is running towards the nurse's station and stopped right in front of her, panting, "Where… -pant- could –pant- I find –pant- Kinomoto –pant- Sakura… -pant-…" Touya said worriedly. Tomoyo is behind him also panting. Yukito and Fujitaka caught up, but they didn't run. They're just smiling the whole time.
"Um, sir? Room 503… May I ask, what is your relation with her?" The nurse asks.
"Brother." Touya glared at the nurse.
"Eep!" Touya left and the nurse glared at Touya, "Hmph! Arrogant brother that is!" She murmured to herself.
Room 503
The door of that room slammed open, revealing two panicking persons and behind them two calm persons. Touya approaches the Syaoran who is beside Sakura. (Not ON the bed, but sitting on a chair beside the bed) Touya glared furiously at Syaoran and he glared back, while Tomoyo went to Sakura and asks worriedly questions at her.
"Tomoyo, I'm fine. Don't worry. I just bumped my head on a… post because of my carelessness… That's all. I promise." Sakura lied. Syaoran looks at her with caring eyes. Sakura gave him a don't-tell-them-what-happened look. Syaoran nodded and left. Touya continued glaring at Syaoran until he left the room completely. Yukito stared at Syaoran happily, but he just ignored it.
"Come back here, you brat!" Touya shouted. He followed Syaoran out of the door and came back stomping his feet on the floor. Touya went beside Sakura.
"Dad, when did you come back?" Sakura asks Fujitaka.
"A while ago." He answered with a smile; he patted Sakura's hand.
"Hi, Yukito-kun! Nice to see you again!" Sakura greeted Yukito who is smiling.
"Nice to see you again too, Sakura-chan!" Yukito replied.
"So, who's that brat, Sakura!?" Touya angrily asks.
"He's a friend, right Tomoyo-chan!?" Sakura nervously said.
Touya looks at both girls suspiciously, "By the way, I won't let you go to school tomorrow, ok, baby?" Fujitaka informed.
"Demo…" Sakura looks at her father worriedly.
"No." He replied.
Sakura frowns.
"I'll stay here and take care of you." Fujitaka said.
"No, Daddy, I know you still have another business trip to Hokkaido. I can take care of myself and the doctor told me it's just a little bump, nothing serious." Sakura explained.
"Then, why did it bled?" Touya asks.
"Um… I told you it's just a bump! Nothing to worry about!" Sakura complained, then suddenly pain pressed into her head, like being hit by a hammer, "Damn." She holds the bump on her head and wince.
"Was that fine to you? You still can feel that pain. I'll be the one who'll watch over you, Otou-san can go now to his trip. Happy?" Touya volunteered.
"Um… ok then…" Sakura pouted. Tomoyo hugs her friend, "I'm so thankful you're ok. So you're friends with Li-kun now huh?" she whispers in Sakura's ear. Sakura blushes.

School
Next Day
"Tomoyo! Where's Sakura!?" Chiharu asks Tomoyo with a loud voice.
"Don't be so loud, Chiharu…" Tomoyo told her, "She's in a hospital right now. Touya's watching over her. Don't worry she told me she's fine."
Chiharu sighs in relief, "Thank goodness, I thought something horrible could have happened."
"Well, one thing's for sure, please don't tell anyone, or else lots of her fan clubs will be rampaging at the hospital if ever they found out." Tomoyo told her. Eriol approaches them, "Ohayou!" He greeted happily, "Tomoyo-chan!"
"Where's Saku-chan!?" Eriol whispered.
"Hospital, she's fine, brother watching over her, be quite, don't dare spread the news!" Tomoyo warned him in a low voice. In an inch away, Candice is listening with guilt. Her shoulder is bandaged, but she hid it. She looks outside and stares at the clear, blue skies.
'Why would you save me? Even if I had hurt you? Why are you always like this, even the first time we met? Maybe that's why they like you so much… Why can't I be like you?' Candice deeply thought. She went to her seat still thinking deeply.
"Let's visit, Saku-chan, later, ok?" Eriol whispered. The two girls simply nodded.
…………………………………………
Hospital
Room 503
"Sakura, I'll go to the shop for a while, ok? Yukito is here to watch over you." Touya informed Sakura. He turned to Yukito, "Please watch over Sakura for a while, Yukito."
"Sure." He smiled. Sakura still stayed in bed, "I hate being in a hospital!" She growls and crosses her arms.
Yukito laughs a little, "You're still cute, Sakura-chan!"
Sakura blushes, "And you still haven't changed, Yukito-kun!"
They both had nice laughs.
"Want to have a stroll outside the garden?" Yukito suggested. (The hospital has a big, beautiful, and refreshing garden at the back so people could relax there)
"Sure. But wouldn't Onii-chan get angry?"
"Don't worry." Yukito smiled at her. He handed out a hand, "Come on." She accepts his hand and get out of bed. Sakura went to the bathroom to get changed. She saw beside the sink the dress Syaoran lend to her. She smiles and wears that dress. She went out of the bathroom and met Yukito outside the room.
"Let's go." Yukito smiles at her. She followed Yukito towards the garden, "You're wearing a nice dress. Did Tomoyo-chan give it to you?"
"Um… No…"
"Then who did? You bought it?"
"No…"
"Then what…?"
"I just borrowed it from someone."
"Let's change the topic; I can feel you're getting uneasy with that subject." Yukito yet again smiles at her. Sakura sat on the bench under a big tree, where autumn leaves are falling. She stares at the sky. Yukito sat beside her.
"You know, I missed you guys and Touya. You know what I missed the most?" Yukito turned to Sakura keeping his smile on his face.
"What?"
"You, playing your mother's flute."
"Me?"
"Yes. So, will you play for me?"
"Now?"
"Yup! Here." Yukito handed a fine, beautiful flute, "It's yours, right?"
"You brought it?"
"Touya did. He told me that you will play your flute if ever you get bored."
"Thanks." Sakura obtains the flute and placed the flute in front of her mouth and started playing with her eyes close. The flute began making melody. A nice, sweet, relaxing melody was heard from Sakura's flute. Other people who are in that garden heard it too. They all stared at the playing Sakura.
After playing the flute, Sakura turned to the satisfied Yukito. Yukito smiled at her, "Thank you. You played like your mother…"
"Thanks."
"Well then, let's go back, Touya might be already there." Yukito told her. Sakura nodded.
