Chapter 5: The Terrible Tragedy and the Water Fountain.
The next morning, Sakura woke up, and the book fell into her lap. "How'd this get there," she thought out loud and then remembered that she was reading last night and fell asleep. She took the book, found the page she was on, putting a bookmark in it and put it on her bedside table. Then she checked the clock and got out of bed. She put her school uniform on and walked down the small hallway to the bathroom. There, she brushed her long honey auburn hair and put it in the same high ponytail she wore to school everyday with the medium-sized red bow. Then she brushed her teeth and went downstairs.
As she entered the kitchen, Kaho said, "Ohayo Sakura-chan." She was at the stove.
"Ohayo Okaa-san, Otou-san," she answered cheerfully.
"Ohayo Sakura-san," said Isao who was reading the newspaper. "Did you sleep well?"
"Hai," she said as Kaho brought her breakfast to the table.
"Arigatou. Itadakamasu," she said and started to eat. When she had finished, she took her plate to the counter and put it in the dishwasher.
When she was about to leave for school, Kaho said, "Sakura-chan, you forgot your backpack and hat."
"Oops," said Sakura and ran up the stairs to her room to grab her backpack and hat. When she had gotten her things, she ran back down the stairs and out the door not noticing that it was going to rain. She called, "Bye Okaa- san, Otou-san," as the door closed.
About five minutes later as Sakura was walking to school, passing by Syaoran's apartment, it started to rain. Syaoran was just leaving the building with an umbrella. He walked down the front path towards the sidewalk.
The rain started to come down harder. Syaoran reached the sidewalk and started walking down it when he suddenly saw Sakura ahead of him. She took another step towards the school and fell to the ground with water dripping from her hair onto her legs. He ran to her as fast as he could in the rain.
When he had finally reached her, he knelt down to her, held the umbrella over her and asked, "Are you okay, Kinomoto-san?"
She looked up at him from looking at the ground after her fall with worry in her emerald eyes and said softly, "Iie."
"What's wrong?" asked Syaoran with worry.
She didn't speak, but pointed to her legs. That was when Syaoran got a theory about why her legs hurt after a swim. Then he thought, 'Hmm, I think I might have found out the mystery of Kinomoto-san's sore legs. I'll have to tell her friend about my theory at school.'
"Your legs hurt again, don't they?" he asked still worried. She nodded and tried to get up, but couldn't. She then looked at the ground again.
Syaoran sighed and said, "Well here we go again. Let's see if I can do this by myself this time."
Sakura looked up at him again with confusion on her face, but figured out what he meant. As he turned around for his back to be in front of her still holding the umbrella, Tomoyo walked around the corner. When she saw and figured out what had happened she ran over to them. She was almost caught up when she yelled, "Sakura-chan, Li-kun. What happened?"
Sakura looked towards her and asked weakly, "Tomoyo-chan?"
When Tomoyo got to them, Syaoran said, "Can I tell you something that I have figured out?"
"Sure. What?"
Syaoran whispered in her ear what his theory was and the plan to prove it. Tomoyo nodded. Then Sakura asked, "What were you talking about?"
"Um... well," said Syaoran. "You'll find out soon. Right now we have to get to school." He turned to Tomoyo and said, "I don't know your full name yet."
"Oh yeah, we didn't introduce ourselves. You only know my first name from Sakura-chan. And I know your full name from the first day that Adatchi- sensei first introduced you to the class. Gomen. My last name is Daidouji. Tomoyo Daidouji."
"Well now Daidouji-san. We had better get to school. But I need your help getting Kinomoto-san into the classroom with out the teacher noticing. We're pretty early anyway so we should be close to the first students getting in."
"Sure I'll help," said Tomoyo.
"Thanks. Let's get going," he said. Tomoyo helped him get Sakura on his back. Then they walked to school with Tomoyo holding Syaoran's umbrella over the both of them while holding her own. "Did you forget your umbrella today, Sakura-chan?" asked Tomoyo. No reply. "Sakura-chan?" she asked again getting worried. Still no reply.
Tomoyo looked at her face and saw that she had her eyes closed. Tomoyo checked for a pulse, and found it fine. Then she felt her forehead. It was a bit warm. "Li-kun I think Sakura-chan passed out. She has a small fever."
"What?" he said. "Probably from being in the rain for too long." He starts to jog her to the school.
"Li-kun slow down. If you slip then Sakura-chan will fall, too," Tomoyo calls after him. Syaoran stops and Tomoyo catches up. He turned around and said with worry, "But you said she has a fever. If that's true then we have to get her to the school fast."
"It's not all that big yet. We have plenty of time before it gets a lot worse."
A few minutes later, when they get to the school, Syaoran started to take her down the hall to the classroom with Tomoyo following him. When they passed the gym, Hishida-sensei saw them and ran to the door. He said, "What happened to Kinomoto-san?" Syaoran and Tomoyo turned.
"Well she um slipped on the wet sidewalk and hurt her ankle and couldn't walk so I had to carry her to school. And then while I was carrying her, she passed out. Daidouji-san felt her forehead and found that it was a bit warm. Probably from being in the rain for a long time."
"Oh, I see." Just then the first bell rang.
"Uh oh the bell rang and Sakura-chan is still unconscious," said Tomoyo.
"Would you like me to take care of her until she wakes up?"
"B-but how? She'll be skipping if she doesn't have an excuse for not being in class."
"I'll write the teacher a note that tells him what just happened with my signature on it. He'll understand."
"Okay. Arigatou! Hishida-sensei," said Tomoyo and Syaoran.
Hishida-sensei quickly wrote the note and handed it to Syaoran who was closer. He took it and both of them quickly got to class.
When they had gotten to the classroom the final bell rang.
"Why are the two of you late?" asked Adatchi-sensei.
"Here," said Syaoran handing him the note. He took it and read it.
"Oh I see. Arigatou for giving me this. Did it just happen?"
"Hai while she was walking to school this morning."
"Okay. Why don't you sit down and we'll begin."
Tomoyo and Syaoran sat at their spots and the class began.
Meanwhile at the gym, Hishida had just laid Sakura on a mat and felt her forehead. It was warmer than when Tomoyo had felt it. He found a thermometer and put it under her tongue and waited for a while. When he waited long enough, he took the thermometer out of her mouth and checked it. When he read what it said, (38.04 degrees Celsius) he quickly walked to the closest water fountain, which was right out the door. He got a cloth wet with cold water, walked back to Sakura's side and put the cloth on her forehead.
Half an hour later, Sakura woke up and saw not Syaoran or Tomoyo, but Hishida-sensei. She sat up making the now damp cloth fall in between her legs. "Are you alright now, Kinomoto-san?"
"H-hai. But what am I doing in the gym when I should be in class?"
"Well Li-kun and Daidouji-san were carrying you here after your fall. Daidouji-san found out that you got a small fever. And Li-kun was carrying you here after you passed out," explained Hishida-sensei
"Hoe? I passed out?" asked a surprised Sakura.
"Hai. And you're not in class because you were still unconscious so I offered to help. I wrote a note for your absence and gave it to Li-kun to give to the teacher."
"Arigatou."
"Do you feel well enough to go to your next class?"
"I think so," said Sakura, a little uncertain. "When does it start?"
"In ten minutes."
"I think I'll be fine by then," said Sakura as she stood up. Her pain was gone.
"That's good. Your fever broke which is a good sign."
"Hai," she said. "What was it anyway."
"38.04 degrees Celsius."
"Wow. I thought I felt a little warm from being in the rain for awhile since I fell."
"Well, be careful," said Hishda-sensei.
"I will. Arigatou again," she said, bowed and left the gym. She walked to her locker and put her backpack in it. Then she pulled out her pink binder and headed to her second class early and sat down.
"Kinomoto-san? What are you doing here so early? Class doesn't begin yet," asked her English sensei, Akita-sensei.
"I know," said Sakura. "I was sick with a fever when I got to the school and Hishida-sensei helped me by braking my fever."
"I see. Well let's just wait for the students to come. Until then you may do what ever you want," she said.
Sakura opened her binder got ready for class. When the bell rang and everyone started to go into the room, Sakura pulled out her pink pencil and white eraser. Then she put her head on her desk for a minute.
Tomoyo and Syaoran walked into the room with worried faces. They headed to their desks when they both saw someone in Sakura's desk. Sakura lifted her head as Tomoyo sat down and Syaoran walked passed her desk and said, "Hi Li- kun, Tomoyo-chan."
Syaoran turned around and said, "I thought it would be you sitting in your desk. Why are you here?"
"Hishida-sensei broke my fever and the pain went away as soon as my legs dried off."
'Aha. I thought so,' thought Syaoran in his head.
"I'm glad you're all better Sakura-chan," said Tomoyo.
During class, Syaoran passed a note to Tomoyo that said, 'Daidouji-san, meet me at the swimming pool building after school. Bring Kinomoto-san with you so we can start the thing I told you about this morning.'
Tomoyo finished reading it and nodded.
At lunchtime they ate lunch with Sakura. Then she went to the library to do her new math sheet that Syaoran had given her. This was the perfect opportunity for Syaoran and Tomoyo to start on their plan. Syaoran sneaked out of the school grounds and went to his apartment for his swimsuit. Tomoyo went over to Sakura's and sneaked in through a window and grabbed Sakura's swimsuit.
Both of them got back early and went to their lockers and put the swimsuits in their backpacks.
A few minutes later, the bell rang indicating that lunchtime was over. Tomoyo and Syaoran walked to their next class.
As soon as everyone had arrived, class began.
While Sakura was sitting in her desk trying to work and pay attention, her throat suddenly felt very dry. She raised her hand.
"Hai, Kinomoto-san?" asked Yuhara-sensei when she saw Sakura raise her hand.
"May I please get a drink of water?"
"Hai."
Sakura got up and walked to the water fountain and took a long drink. Then she went back to her class.
About fifteen minutes later she asked the same question again and a again she took a long drink.
When she asked again fifteen more minutes later, Yuhara-sensei asked her, "Is everything alright, Kinomoto-san." Syaoran and Tomoyo started to get really worried about Sakura again.
"Hai-I'm fine. Just really thirsty for some reason," said Sakura in a cheery but choky voice.
Syaoran wrote another note to Tomoyo that said, 'I think Kinomoto-san is getting worse with whatever's wrong with her.'
Tomoyo finished reading and replied on the back of the note with, 'I think so, too. We're going to have to wait until after school to find out what it is though.' She passed it back to Syaoran who read it and nodded. 'Did you get her swimsuit?' he wrote on a separate sheet of paper. 'Hai. Did you get yours?' 'Yeah.'
'Good.' And with that they stopped writing notes.
****I'm stopping there for now. What did you think of that chapter? Good? Bad? Let me know through a review. Arigatou. Next chapter will be called, The Tests. Stay tooned for it!****
