Chapter 10- Revelations II
As Sakura was finally outside the hospital she heard a distant voice calling her name, at first she thought it was all in her mind but then the voice suddenly became very clear to her, striking her as someone she knew and that was no one else but syaoran and he had a bouquet of flowers in his hand, while he was doing this sakura noticed that his cheeks were rosy red and he was looking down while doing it.
"Syaoran?" she called to him but he was still looking down until she stepped closer to him then he said, "here take it" he said shoving the flowers into sakura's hands.
" Thank you…very much" she said with a smile " what's it for?"
" Just take it ok" he said annoyed " Do what you like with it"
Then she smiled gently and said " Ill put it in a vase in my room"
Then he shook his head and for a while sakura thought she saw him smile the sweetest smile she's ever seen
" I missed you…." He said tempted to say the rest, "…. While you were in the hospital"
" I missed you too" she said blushing not knowing why.
" So why were you in the hospital?"
" Well actually mostly because of my dad…. after you left last night, I found him unconscious on the floor." She said with her head low
"Oh…sorry"
" That's alright, there was no real damage but they're still trying to find out why he was unconscious"
Then there was an awkward silence for a while until sakura spoke, " you want to go to my house?"
Then startled by her sudden question he said "s-sure ok"
When they arrived at her house Sakura noticed touyas car in the driveway and knew that he came home early from work. And so she decided to enter from the back door so that Touya wouldn't get angry at the sight of Syaoran.
" Ummm…lets go through the back instead" Sakura said nervously
"What? Why?" syaoran said looking puzzled
" Just do it!"
" Alright, Alright!"
Then they entered through the back door and quickly ran up the stairs before they heard any of their footsteps.
" I don't understand why we have to be sneaking up the stairs, couldn't we just go through the way normal people do?" he said looking at her
"No! Now keep quiet and go into my room, Ill be right back"
Then Syaoran stepped quietly into sakura's bedroom and sat on her bed to wait for her to come back. While he was waiting he looked around and realized that the theme of her bedroom was teddy bears. He realized that she must have liked them a lot to have a bear T.V as well as a bear couch. When he saw all her furniture he couldn't help but notice that one of her drawers was open and he decided to see what was in it since he was curious. When he looked in it he saw newspaper clippings of a woman. Syaoran saw the woman's face closely and suddenly he realized it was the same picture that was on top of the coffee table and then he knew it must have been her mother. As he was looking in it he didn't seem to overlook the fact that Sakura still hasn't come back but then to his surprise she was right in back of him as she tapped his shoulder lightly.
" AHHHHHHHH!!!!" he screamed in surprise
" So…. thought you could look in my drawers while I was gone huh?" she said angrily
" No…. that's not it at all!"
Then she chuckled lightly and said " relax…I'm not gonna kill you!"
"Oh…. you scared me" he said nervously
" I have those news paper clippings…. because they remind of my past…." She said with her head down
" Your past…?"
" Yeah…. I like to look back and think of what happened because at that time I was only a year old"
" Oh…. ok" he said then looked from the news paper clippings to what she was wearing she had on denim jeans and a black tank top that showed her beautiful soft skin and this made Syaoran get very warm.
"You look…. nice" he said nervously
" Thanks" she smiled
Then when she was trying to find one of her papers she dropped her bracelet
"Oh, here let me get that"
" No, its alright ill get it"
But then both of them reached down to get it and when they were about to retrieve it both of them bumped their heads against each other and immediately grabbed there heads because of the throbbing pain. When they finally stopped they opened their eyes and looked at each other and for a moment time seemed to have stopped and everything was no longer there, everything was gone except for them and all Sakura could see at that point was his eyes intercepting with hers she felt as if they had joined together and became one but she didn't know why she felt that way and so did syaoran.
Until the silence was broken when Yuki stepped into the room and said " Sakura…. I didn't know you were here?"
Then everything seemed to appear again and sakura could see everything else and stopped looking into syaoran's eyes which she seemed to still want to and was reluctant to stop but this confused her so she stared at Yukito and said " oh yea I came a while ago I just didn't tell you guys"
But before Yuki could say anything Syaoran rose up from where he sat and said " Ughhhh…. I got to go…. My foster parents are probably worried"
Then he started to go for the door and then before he opened it sakura said " Thanks for coming…. You should visit when you like"
" Whatever" he said as he felt his heart pounding fiercely in his chest like drums. Then he opened the door and left.
" Who was he?" Yukito asked in a curious tone
" That was my friend"
" What's his name? "
" Li Syaoran" Sakura said as she still stared at the door
" Mommy?" the boy said as he was walking " Mommy where are you?"
Then the boy got startled when he heard his mother scream coming from her bedroom
" Mommy!" the boy said with a shrill in his voice. Then he ran across the empty hallway and stood still in front of his mothers closed bedroom door not knowing whether to go in or not.
While he was standing there he overheard their conversation a man say, " Give the money you whore!" he said screaming, " You're nothing but a street hooker! You're worth nothing! Give me the money!"
Then he heard his mother scream one more time before the room became silent " Mommy…?" the little boy said aloud wanting to know what happened. Then he heard the mans voice again in what seemed an endless replay that stood over the boy " you go and take that stupid boy! Now that I have money your worth shit to me!" Then he grunted and said " stupid slut"
Then the boy couldn't take it any longer and entered the room. When he did, he saw the last image he would see of his mother.
When Tomoyo awoke she had a throbbing pain in her head and she couldn't make it stop. So she went to the counter and took a Tylenol and then a few minutes later she went to the bathroom to vomit. Tomoyo had been feeling like that since she came back from Eriols house and she couldn't think why. She would also have dreams. Dreams about a little boy, and his mother. But something was strange about these two dreams she previously had, in the second dream it was a different boy but the same mother. And she always woke up when the boy was about to discover his mom died. And that confused Tomoyo a lot.
After Tomoyo left the bathroom she came in contact with her mother and then she greeted her.
" Good Morning Mom" Tomoyo said cheerfully
" Good Morning" she said then she examined her closely and said, " Are you feeling ok?"
" Yes…. I mean no, Well a little" Tomoyo said thinking "I'm just a little sick that's all"
" Oh…. Would you like me to call the doctor?" she asked sounding a little worried
" No… but thanks for asking anyways" she said then left to go into her bedroom
Once she was in her bedroom she crawled into her bed and put the covers up to her head and started to fall asleep until a telephone ring made her get up again. When she got the telephone she immediately knew it was Sakura since she knew her voice very well.
" Tomoyo? Are you there?"
" Yes…. you interrupted me…I was going to sleep!" she said annoyed
" Sorry…. but…well Syaoran came by, because I told him he can come"
" Yeah…so?"
" And….. Something really weird happened…" she said nervously
" What? Did he ask you out?"
" No! He's just my friend! But we had a very…. Strange, unusual moment"
" Well tell ME! What happened?"
" Well I bumped my head against his, cause we were both trying to pick up my bracelet…. that I dropped, and then when we started to gain balance I looked into his eyes and….."
" Well……?"
" I don't know….. I guess I stayed like that for most of the time…. I don't know what came over me!"
" So…. what did he do about it?"
" He just stared back…." Then sakura kept picturing his eyes, the shape and texture, even the color and she couldn't stop picturing them.
" So…. exactly how long did he stare at you…wait never mind how long did you stare at him?"
" I don't know…. I didn't think at that moment…. I just focused on his eyes….. His amber eyes…"
" So can you just guess how long you were like that?"
" If I had to guess it would probably be about…. forever…"
Then Tomoyo rolled her eyes and said, " In numbers please?"
" I don't know it seemed like it was endless…."
Then Tomoyo sighed and said " Sakura…maybe your just on your period! Can I go now I want to sleep!"
" Oh my god! Tomoyo you've been acting weird since you left the hospital yesterday!" sakura said, " what's with you!"
" I've just been really tired these days, that's all!"
" Yeah well, maybe you should talk to me when you're feeling like yourself again" sakura said sounding disappointed and then hung up.
When Sakura hung up with Tomoyo she felt a knock on the door and asked: " who is it?"
" Its touya, your very handsome brother!"
" What? Touya isn't handsome, he's butt ugly!"
Then touya opened the door and said, " You are so nice" he said with a hint of sarcasm
" What do you want stupid?"
" Me and yuki are going to visit dad in the hospital, want to come along ugly?"
Then Sakura thought for a while and remembered what happened the night that she saw her father unconscious.
" No!!!!!! Daddy!!!" she said nearly on the brake of tears " I cant !!!" Then sakura quickly shot out of touya's arms and took her fathers hand and gripped it tight " I can't let him die!!!! Not like mom!!!!"
She cried, " I don't want him to die God!!!"
" Alright…. Ill go" she said and then touya closed the door.
" What should I say to him……?" How can I tell him how I felt……there are no words that can explain how sad and how much pain I felt when I saw him on the floor…… But I'm also mad at him for loving someone else then mom…I cant live with so much pain in my heart…
