Episode 12- Tears, Madness...Boyfriend?

Hello again! So here we have... a little bit of randomness. But, thank you for reading and reviewing(especially the ones who review;)) all this time!! And I must say, if you add this story to favourites or something, please review with it! DX

Syaoran's Point of View

I snapped awake, a serious kink in my neck from leaning against Sakura's bed all night. The sunlight poured into the room, blinding me. I turned away from it, and saw Sakura sleeping soundly on her bed still. I smiled and watched her, no matter how perverted it may have seemed. Ah, you noticed? Yes, I got her name driven into my head, along with the others. Eriol, Meiling, and Tomoyo! And I'm Syaoran! I'm a Guardian of Tomoeda!

Suddenly, a tear rolled across her cheek, which I noticed was already tear-stained. Her lips quivered. "Syaoran…why did you have to forget me? Why does it have to hurt this much? Please get your memories back…"

This was when I realized she was actually already awake! "I'll try," I whispered. Her eyes tore open, unfazed by the light in the room. She went pink, the water on her face boiling, I'm sure.

We stared at each other for a few minutes. Her eyes were so innocent and worried, engrossing me in her emerald gaze. Her lower lip trembled, and she smacked me before running out of the room. I was about to call her back, but I opened my mouth and closed it. I sighed, sorrow overcoming me. I don't want to hurt you, Sakura. Please don't be hurt. When I heard her sobs echoing out of the bathroom, it tore a hole in my heart. I clutched at it, the pain stabbing.

"You aren't the only one that's hurt by this…" I whispered to myself.

When I left her room, she opened the bathroom door, and my heart jumped. I whipped around, only to see her run across the hall to her bedroom.

"Sakura, wait!" I cried, reaching my hand out to her. She slapped it away, looking at me with blurry eyes, tears streaming down her face. She bit her lip, trying to stifle the sob that half came out. She closed her eyes, almost painfully, sending more tears spilling out of her eyes. She slammed the door in my face.

I pressed my hand against the door, leaning my face against it. I clenched it into a fist and whacked it against the wall, crying out in both anger and pain. My teeth clamped together and a lump came to my throat. Why is this happening? Its all so random…I thought this, yet the hole throbbed. I swallowed the lump and tore myself away from her door. I went into the bathroom and splashed myself with water.

I stumbled down the stairs, attempting to slide down half way on the railing, but falling off as soon as I let go. I lay in a heap on the floor…the cold, hard floor… I pressed my cheek against it… it felt so good… my wet hair dripped on the floor, my cold wet clothes pressing against my skin, making me uncomfortable, but I didn't care.

Man…in my whole not-even-24-hours here, I never thought I'd be an emo…I sighed.

Soon, my teeth were chattering, and I felt like I was going to be sick. All that was going through my mind were images of Sakura. Sakura…Sakura…Sakura…And then I was asleep.

Sakura's Point of View

I sobbed and sobbed, bawled, wailed, and cried for hours. Syaoran had decided to leave me alone after he violently beat down the wall.

A sudden knock came to my door. "Miss Sakura! Miss Sakura!" Naomi, one of the maids. Her voice sounded urgent.

I was mildly interested. "What izzit…?"

"It's Master Syaoran! He's collapsed!"

I shot up. "What!?" she lead me down the stairs, and Syaoran was lying there on the floor, all wet and red-faced. I touched his forehead, and it was searing.

"Oh, no, you idiot! Why would do something so reckless!?" I told his unconscious body. I picked him up myself, and lugged him to the couch. Naomi got a blanket, and a towel; we dried him, then put a wet cloth on his forehead. His temperature was sky-high.

"Come on…wake up…" I whispered, my vision getting blurry again. I blinked away the tears this time.

It was a while before his eyes fluttered open. "Sakura." Was the first that came out of his mouth.

"Uh…yes?" I asked, my fingers trembling.

His eyes softened into sorrow. "Why did you do this to me?"

"Do what?"

"Confuse me. I don't know what I've done wrong… you've torn a hole in my heart, just watching you." His hand slid down my face, outlining my jaw. I went a little pink, and he smiled. "Don't cry anymore, Sakura. I can't help if I don't remember you. All I remember is feeling floaty when I see you."

I stiffened, unsure of whether this was something I wanted to hear or not.

"All I want is to see you smile all the time…" he went on, dropping his hand back to his side.

His eyes closed, and his chest rose and fell peacefully; he had fallen asleep again.

I creased my brow and left him to sleep.

There was a sharp knocking on the door. I closed my book and answered it; it was Haruhide!

"Haruhi!" I exclaimed. He grinned at me. "Why are you here? Please, come in!"

He stepped in and looked around. "Hoo… nice place… heyy…" he winked at one of the maids, who blushed and ran away. He chuckled. "So…how's Syaoran doing?"

My face fell and I sighed- this caught his attention. "He doesn't remember you still, huh?"

I shook my somberly. "No, all he says is that he doesn't want me to cry and that he feels floaty when he sees me…"

Suddenly, I was in Haruhi's arms. I gasped. "What…?"

He held me tighter. "No matter what happens, Sakura, I will always be here for you. Don't be afraid to come to me if you need anything." His lips met my……

Hair. Haha, I tricked you! :D

So anyway, I was paralyzed in his arms. No matter what I told my brain to do, I just couldn't move.

"I will always protect you…" he murmured in my ear. I was speechless, as well.

I heard a rustling behind me. I managed to turn my head-it was Syaoran!

I watched on in horror as his eyes locked with mine, clouded with sadness. I felt panicked, and desperately wanted out of Haruhide's iron hold. But that's what it was-iron. I shook my head, but he smiled in a halfhearted, bittersweet way. He bowed and said, "S-sorry…for the intrusion."

I made a little mouse noise to try to get him to understand, but he didn't hear.

He turned and darted around the corner, and I was not able to see his face. I struggled even more, wanting to scream, 'Syaoran, its not what you think! Come back, please! Syaoran!'

But I said nothing, my face feeling hot as I lost energy and went limp in Kazuhi's arms. I could hear him sigh, almost inaudibly. His arms fell to his sides, and I leapt away from him.

"So…remember what I said… just…yeah. Sorry, bye!" he smiled halfheartedly as he waved. He closed the door behind him when he left.

I whipped around the corner, but the window was open. I dashed over to it and leaned out to see if I could see him.

I saw his chocolate hair disappear into one of the bushes behind and under our house. (See, because our houses are suspended in the air over Tomoeda, it's behind and under at the same time; if you were to jump out of this window, you'd fall for a bit, then land in the forest)

"SYAORAAAANNN!!" I called out to him, my voice echoing around. I know he could hear me, but he didn't come out.

I slumped against the wall. Now he probably thinks that Haruhide is my…

Syaoran's Point of View

"Boyfriend!" I growled to myself. "So, she's got a boyfriend! So what am I to her, then, a best bud? Rrrrgh!" I stopped to rip some grass out of the ground. "If I knew she had a boyfriend before, then why did I like her so much!? What kind of girl-stealer am I!" I punched a tree, and some leaves fell to the ground around me. "But…what if he knew I like her!? I saw that look he gave me! He looked like 'hey, loser!'" He makes me soo mad!" I hit the tree again. And again, and again.

I hit it for hours, until it fell over. It wasn't a big tree, and didn't cause much havoc. I threw myself against the ground, ignoring the blood on my hands and face, and the pain shooting up both arms.

I remembered Sakura's face… her smile…her tears… her in that guy's arms… and I felt like crying. If I wasn't a guy, if I was some chick, like, Syaorina, I probably would have, but I just grit my teeth and got pissed. I couldn't take her back; that's just not cool. I couldn't assassinate the dude she was with, that's not cool either.

But see, that's what pissed me off most- I couldn't do anything about it. I just squeezed my bloody hands as nausea came to my stomach and vomited in some poor skunk's den…or something like that. I remembered then that gave myself a fever before, but I didn't care. Sakura was all I could think about ever since the hospital.

I bit my lip and stood up. I walked for a while more until I came to a big pond surrounded by ginormous (that's a word…right?:S) trees. I dipped my hand in the water, but they still kept bleeding. I saw rock, and went over to it. I kicked it really hard into the water, and got sprayed by the after math. An angry mouse came over and nibbled on my shoe, but I picked it up and set it on another rock. I sighed as I looked into it's cute little face. such innocence; suddenly, it seemed to understand me.

I chuckled halfheartedly. "Think I'll name you… Miloh. I know, random name, but…" I now noticed the mouse had a red streak going down its back, and the rest was pure white. "I'll recognize you if I see you again, that's for sure…"

I sat down beside it on the rock. And pet with one finger. Then I realized I was still bleeding. Then, I realized I made the streak on Miloh's back. I tried to rub it off, but it didn't.

"Oh well…" I sighed, and set him down again.

I lay there for a while. "I guess I'll just have to accept that Sakura will never be mine… unless they break up… but that's a terrible thing to wish for…" I sighed and gave up.

Eventually, I just fell asleep, with Miloh lying on my chest.
