Sakura closed her eyes as the truck was about to slam into her. Yue swooped
in just in time to save her. But unfortunately, Yue was hit by the truck.
His right arm, shoulder and leg was hit badly. Yue crashed into a a garbage
can, hugging Sakura tightly. Touya ran to see the truck's plate number. But
he was too late, the truck had already gone far. Touya hurriedly goes to
Yue and Sakura. Sakura opens her eyes to see herself in Yue's arms. She saw
that the right side of Yue's body was bleeding and bruised over.
p
"Yue?!" she cried.br
"Sakura, Yue, are you both alright?" asked Touya.br
Sakura stood up, crying, and said, "I'm alright brother, but Yue... Yue
is... Yue is..."br
"What're you thinking of, Sakura?!" he shouted to her.br
Then Yue transformed back to Yukito.br
Touya carried Yukito in his arms and told Sakura, "Hurry! Get inside! Call
an ambulance!"br
Sakura nodded her head and ran inside.br
'This is all my doing... It's my fault that Yukito is out cold... Why can't
I be responsible enough...' she thought to herself, weeping.br
Touya walked hurriedly inside, "Hang on, Yukito. You'll be okay." he told
the unconcious Yukito.
p
When he went in, Sakura was sitting on the sofa, she was beside the phone.
Touya layed Yukito on the other sofa and sat beside him. Sakura approached
him, still crying. He looked at Sakura. Then he hugged his little sister.
p
"There, there, stop crying now... Yukito will be sad if he finds out that
you've been crying." he told her. "He'll be okay."br
Sakura looked at her brother and gave out a small smile, "Yeah brother,
your right. Yukito's going to be alright."
p
Then they heard an ambulance outside. Sakura hurriedly ran outside to check
it out. Then, while Sakura was outside, Yukito's hand hold Touya's.
p
Touya looked at him, "Yukito!" he shouted. "Are you okay?" he asked.br
Yukito smiled weakly. "I'll be fine." he told Touya. "But is Sakura
alright? Was Yue able to protect her?" he asked.br
Touya nodded his head, "Yes you were, Yukito... Thank you... But you made
her cry."br
He smiled again, "I didn't mean it." then he closed his eyes again.br
"Brother! The ambulance is here." Sakura shouted.
p
Then two men carrying a stretcher came in. They carried Yukito using that.
Sakura follwed them, but she was held back by her big brother.
p
"Oyy brother, what is it?" she asked him.br
"You stay here, I'll watch Yukito for the meantime." he told herbr
"But it's my fault!" Sakura protested.br
"No!" he shouted as he went out their house and in the ambulance.br
The ambulance quickly drove out of sight.br
Sakura tried to catch up, but she couldn't.br
Then a man rested his hand on her shoulder, "Sakura..."br
Sakura looked at who it was, it was her father, she ran into him and hugged
him tight. "Father! It's my fault! It's my fault that Yukito is being
rushed to the hospital." she cried.br
Fujitaka kneeled down and hugged her daughter, "Hush now, nobody wished for
this. Accidents happen. Why don't you tell me what happened inside, it
seems to be getting dark, and the clouds look heavy."br
Sakura noded her head and they both went inside.
p
When they both sat on the sofa Sakura started narrating. "I was running
when we were near home. Yukito was going to have dinner with us, so he came
home with me and brother. Then when I was in the crossing, a truck came out
of nowhere. As it was about to hit me, I closed my eyes." she said,
stopping a while to catch her breath. "Then the next thing I knew was I was
in Yue- I mean Yukito's arms. He had bruises and he was bleeding on his
right side."br
"Yukito is so good. See that, he didn't think about his own life. He must
love you a lot, Sakura." Fujitaka told her.br
Sakura just looked down. I'If only you knew that it is Yukito's job to
take care of me. Because he is also Yue. And Yue is also my friend.'/I
she thought sadly.br
"Come on, you've seen enough. You should get to bed now, you have school in
the morning." said her dad. "I'll just bring you some noodles later,
okay?"br
"Yes dad." she whispered. "Good night." she said as she went upstairs to
her room.
p
When she got upstairs, she opened her door. Keroberus, who was usually
playing video games, wasn't playing, and looked at her with his big round
eyes. He went towards her.
p
"I saw what happened outside." he told her.br
Sakura's eyes were full of tears.br
"It's not your fault." he told her, patting her shoulder.br
Sakura just ignored him and went to her cabinet, she opened it and took out
her night dress. Then she took her towel.
p
As she looked above her cabinet, there were pictures of those who are
important to her. There were pictures of her mom Nadeshiko, her dad
Fujitaka. Her friends, Tomoyo, Eriol and Syaoran. Her brother Touya
and.Yukito. Sakura felt like crying again. Yukito looked alright in the
picture. But after what happened today, she didn't know what he would look
like now. She slowly went to her bathroom.br
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~br
Meanwhile, Syaoran was lying in his bed. There were no more available
rooms. He had to share a room with another. And of all the people he could
share a room with, he was sharing it with his adviser Sensei Van Liugi
Diamond. He had already taken a bath. He just wanted somebody to talk to.
He was bored to death. He picked up the phone and dialed. The phone on the
other line was ringing. It was ringing.
p
I'Come on, answer the phone.'/I he thought. I'Come on, Sakura.'/I
p
Nobody answered the phone.
p
I'I wonder what's wrong with Sakura. Maybe she's at Tomoyo's place.'/I
he thought.
p
He hung up and dialed another. It rang once. It rang twice, and three
times. Then.
p
"Moshi Moshi! This is the Hiiragizawa residence. Eriol Hiiragizawa
speaking." a voice rang.br
"Moshi moshi. Eriol, it's me, Syaoran." he answered to Eriol.br
"Oh! Hey there Syaoran. It's unlikely for you to call. What is it?" he said
to him, laughing.br
"I'm bored here Eriol. I had to share my room in this lousy dorm." he
complained.br
"Share your room?" he asked. Then he smiled, "With whom?"br
"With no other than our adviser." he grumbled.br
"Sir Diamond!" said Eriol.br
"Yup, he's in the shower right now. I gotta get out of here. Bail me out of
here Eriol." he told Eriol.br
Eriol sighed, "You sound like your in jail or something. How can I bail you
out?"br
Then Syaoran remembered Sakura. "Hey Eriol, did Sakura come along with you
guys to Tomoyo's house?"br
Eriol scratched his head, "Well. I don't think so. Why did you ask?"br
"When I called her, nobody answered the phone. It's like nobody was there.
It's strange."br
Then Eriol stood from his seat, "Ohh." he whispered. I'Could it be that
my hunch was correct.'/I he thought to himself.br
"You okay, Eriol?" he asked him.br
"Syaoran, I need to go. Talk to you next time." he told Syaoran.br
"Huh? But Eriol-" he complained.br
"I really gotta go! Bye Syaoran!" he said as he put down the phone. Then he
turned to Nakuru, "Nakuru, I need to go for a while." he told her.br
She looked at him, "Was your hunch correct Eriol?" she asked him.br
"I hope not. But," he whispered. "it is possible."br
"I'll come with you, Eriol." Spinnel volunteered.br
"No thank you Spinnel." Eriol replied, patting his head. "I'll be fine on
my own."br
"Whatever you say, Eriol. I trust your decision. Take care of yourself."
said Ruby Moon as she walked out. "Ja!" she whispered.br
"Take care of yourself, Eriol." bid Spinnel.br
Eriol just smiled in reply and went out.br
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~br
Sakura got out of her bathroom in her night gown. She looked at the
pictures above her cabinet again. She said their names.
p
"Okaasan Nadeshiko, Otousan Fujitaka, Tomoyo, Eriol, Syaoran,
Touya,.Yukito." then she paused. Then two more picture frames were added.
As she went closer, she saw it more clearly. To her surprise, "Kerboerus
and.Yue." she whispered. She looked at Kerberus.br
Keroberus smiled at her, "I hope me and Yue are also imprtant to you,
Sakura." he told her. "You know were always here for you even if it costs
us our lives." he added. "You know, Yue didn't save you because it was his
job. It's because he wanted to. He loves you, Sakura. And so do I." he said
going near her.br
Sakura was touched by Kero's words. She cried a little and hugged him,
"Thank you, Kero. You know your also important to me." she whispered.br
Then they both froze, "Eriol?" Sakura asked.br
Then Eriol appeared from the window sill. "What took you such a long time
finding me?" he asked. "Might I add that you two were so touchy a while
ago." he added, smiling.br
Sakura looked at the floor and let go of Kero.br
"Tell me what happened, Sakura." he told her.br
Sakura shook her head, "I. I." she mumbled.br
Then Eriol went closer to her and hugged her, "Don't worry Sakura." he
whispered to her.br
Sakura felt Eriol's warm and caring arms embrace her. "It's my fault,
Eriol." she told him. "Yue saved me from a truck that was supposed to hit
me."br
Then Eriol looked at her eyes and wiped her tears, "Yue won't die that
easily. He'll heal in time. It depends on his injury on how long it'll take
to heal." he explained to her.br
Sakura nodded her head, "Thanks for comforting me, Eriol." she thanked
him.br
Eriol just smiled, "It's nothing." he told her. "Let's just visit Yukito
tomorrow to check his condition."br
Sakura nodded her head.br
Then Eriol let her go and went near the window. "See you tomorrow, Sakura."
he bid her as he left.br
"Bye, Eriol." she replied. Then Sakura sat on her bed and got her phone,
she dialed Tomoyo's number. It rang.
p
"Moshi moshi, Daidouji residence. Tomoyo Daidouji speaking." said a
voice.br
"Hey Tomoyo. It's me, Sakura." Sakura chirped.br
"Hi! What is it?" asked Tomoyo.br
"Do you have any plans tomorrow?" she asked.br
Tomoyo thought, "I don't think so, Sakura."br
"Good! Could you come with me and Eriol to the hospital to visit someone?"
she asked her.br
"Uhm. Sure. But Sakura, who will you visit?" she asked confusedly.br
"A friend, Tomoyo. I'll tell you every detail n the way to the hospital
tomorrow." Sakura told her.br
"Uhh. Alright then. If it's for a friend" Tomoyo sweatdropped.br
"Thanks Tomoyo. Ja ne!" said Sakura as she put down the phone.

Ito be continued.br
