Part #1 :RELEASE!
It was a painful period in Kinomoto residence.
Sakura winced with each step on the way home that day, though
having Syaoran at her side eased the pain a little. Having him
argue with her didn't.
"You should have watched where you were going." Syaoran
interjected.
"That card was fast, Syaoran-kun!" she whined, "
and I didn't mean to misuse the jump card!"
Two nights before this, in persual of a card, Sakura called the
Jump card to use. Syaoran screamed for her to stop, but she jumped
upon a loose brick on the building wall, and tumbled down to the
ground. Syaoran was so scared that he couldn't get the Time card
out in time to save her. Sakura fell on the pavement and broke
her leg. He and Tomoyo frantically picked her up and carried her
to Syaoran's house, where Syaoran called an ambulance and Tomoyo
helped her change into something a bit more...normal.
If this wasn't fun enough, Sakura got another surprise the next
day. With a cast on her leg in a hospital bed, she was awaiting
Tomoyo's arraival with her homework. Instead, at exactly 3:00,
Syaoran walked in, carrying a stack of books in one hand, and
a bag full of get-well-soon cards in the other.
"Tomoyo-chan's mother took her to Okinawa on a buisness
trip suddenly. I can take you home too. Your Onii-chan wont be
home to help you."
"SHE WHAT??" Touya exclaimed at his father through
the phone.
"Nani, To-ya?" Yuki asked, and coughed. He wasn't feeling
well.
Touya's expression suddenly turned from disbelief to worry.
"But...if you are at work, who will be taking her home from
the hospital?"
Yuki watched Touya's face turn red on the spot.
"THE GAKI!??"
And now, as the "Gaki" harped on her clumsiness
as they walked, Sakura had no idea of the surprises awaiting her
still.
After a minute or two of silence, Syaoran spoke again.
'You know Sakura, I think they gave you twice as much homework
today because they know Im carrying it, " he said, shifting
the weight of Sakura's backpack to his other shoulder.
"You exaggerate, Syaoran!" she cooed.
They came to her gate, and Syaoran stopped at the entrance.
"Syaoran-kun, who dont you come in?"
"T...touya." he stammered.
"Syaoran-kun, " she laughed," you told me yourself
that Onii-chan is tending to Yuki at his home, ne?"
"O....hai. I forgot, " he laughed. He followed her
inside and into her room. Sakura propped her leg on a pillow on
her bed, took her books and smiled at Syaoran.
"Arigatou Gosaimasu."
"Dou Issimasite, " he answered.
Now what? He thought. I have to go home now? My darling Sakura
is home alone with a broken leg and Im supposed to be a gentleman
and leave? I dont think so.
"Sakura, can I ask you a favor?"
Sakura grinned. "Hai."
"Would you help me....with my Japanese Grammar homework?"
Sakura laughed. "Sure!" She spread out two grammar
books and a bunch of papers on the bed. He sat across from her
and attempted to keep up.
"The adverb here, " she explained...
Well, as luck would have it, Syaoran's 16-yr-old mentality kicked
in. Sakura was blossoming into a beautiful girl. Everyday he noticed
more prominently her slender body and smoothe curves, but more
importantly...that one other part of the female body.....
Sakura leaned forward, pointing to the Kanji on his paper, she
said something, but Syaoran was thinking of something else. Or
more accurately, staring at her shirt.
Or more accurately , into it.
Sakura (although usually clueless) knew when a boy wasn't listening
to her.
"LI KUUUN!!!" She yelled.
Syaoran panicked and pressed down hard on the tip of his pencil,
breaking the tip off. He managed to stammer " H...Hai?"
She glared at him, and he turned bright red.
After 20 seconds of silence, he help up his pencil.
"Can I sharpen my pencil?" he asked.
"Hai. Except you will have to use the one on my brother's
desk. Mine is broken."
Syaoran would have had the same reaction if she had used the
shot card on him.
"Y...you...mean...I......" he began.
"Just go, " she said, smiling.
So he went. Why was he so nervous, anyway? Touuya wasn't there.
Right?
He opened the door. And then-
"YOU!" Touya exclaimed.
Syaoran nearly fell over. In fact, he did.
"Touya!?" he exclaimed.
"What are you doing in my house Chinese Brat!?"
Syaoran was so scared that he did the only thing he could think
of doing in this situation.
Rambled.
"I was carrying Sakura's books home and she invited me in so I asked if she could help me with my Japanese and we were working on the bed when my pencil broke and I came to use your sharpener cause Sakura's was broken and I thought you weren't here!!"
Well, thats what he said. But what big-brother Touya heard
was:
"Sakura invited me in the bed and I came in cause I thought
you werent here!"
Yuki, peaceful as always, quickly calmed Touya's temper, putting
a hand on his. Yuki was very sick, laying in Touya's bed. He had
some ailment that the docters could not identify. Touya was supposed
to be at Yuki's house. Why were they here? Syaoran diverted his
attention to Yuki.
"Yukito," he said, "how are you feeling?"
And in a vioce as quiet as a snowflake, he replied "Okay."
Apparently, the tone of Yuki's reply bothered Touya, because
immidiately he pt his hand on Yukis face and chest.
"You are running a fever again, Yuki-san. I'll be right
back." Touya grabbed Syaoran by the arm and dragged him out
into the hall.
"Touya! Why is Yuki here?" he asked as they walked.
"His grandparents are away, " Touya replied distantly.
And then , without a second thought, he pushed Syaoran tword Sakuras
room .
"Use a pen. Leave the door open," he said, and then
ran downstairs to get some Motrin for Yuki. Syaoran stared for
a moment at the empty space where Touya had just been standing,
a look of disbelief on his face. Then he opened the door and
sat on the foot of Sakura's bed, making as little eye contact
as possible. Sakura was now well aware that Touya was home.
"Gomen ne....." Sakura began. Touya ran past the room
quickly. And it was getting late. He didn't even look in the door
to check on them.
"Sakura..." Syaoran said, " Your brother.....he....."
Sakura stared earnestly.
"When he saw me, he yelled a bit. I expected that. But then
he found that Yuki had a fever. It was like a switch. I just didn't
exist anymore."
Sakura flashed her I-fail-to-comprehend-that-last-comment face.
"Yuki must be very important to him.....ne?"
Sakura smiled. "He is."
Then there was silence. It was well timed.
"Hello? Yes, I need an ambulance."
Sakura shrieked.
Touya was on the phone, pacing, with a worried tone and a scared
expression.....
