~!*Chapter One*!~
"SAKURA!" Hazel eyes opened slightly and the girl yawned.
"SAKURA! COME ON! YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!" At the mention of the word, 'school,' the brunette jumped up and shot a glance at the clock.
"Oh my God!" Swinging her legs of the bed, she also knocked off a sleeping beast that looked like a stuffed teddy bear with wings and a long golden tail.
"Oww!" The creature sat on the floor rubbing his head with a hurt look. "I was just sleeping..." it whined. "Kero! I don't have time! I was suppose to meet Madison at the corner FIVE MINUTES AGO!" Sakura flung open the door and took a step out. Slapping her forehead, she turned back and grabbed her bag. "Bye!" Then, Sakura almost flew through the hall and down the stairs.
~
"See ya Squirt." Sakura turned around and shot her older brother a glare.
"I'm NOT a squirt anymore, Tori! I'm 16 for crying out loud!" Sakura saw her brother open his mouth but then drop his gaze and he nodded uneasily. "Sure... Just be careful at school today, ok?" Sakura instantly took his hand gently, and softly said, "Don't worry, Tori. I'll be fine."
"Hey Madison!" Sakura said as she rounded the bend. Madison glanced up from her watch and shook her head. Her dark hair waved lightly before it returned to rest lightly on her shoulders.
"You never learn to be on time, do you? Late as usual!" Sakura giggled. She had no clue how Madison had managed to put up with her for the all the time they had been together. Even through all the years of magic and the Clow Cards.
"Hey... Will Li be at school today?" Madison looked at her suspiciously and answered, "Why do you care? Do you happen to have a... 'thing' for him?" Sakura blushed and turned away.
"No! I was just thinking about the Clow Cards... Oh! There's the bell! Heh, can't be late!!" Sakura giggled nervously for a few seconds, and bolted.
~
Clear amber eyes shifted and a lock of brown hair fell over his right eye. A girl with short brown hair raced into sight and an eyebrow was slowly raised. *She's coming to THIS school? No way...* He turned his back and pretended to look for something in his bag. "Hey Li!" *Oh man, she saw me, now what?* Li jammed his hand into his hair to brush back his bangs and he turned around.
"Oh hey Sakura." Sakura blinked, obviously understanding the hint.
"Umm... I just wanted to say hi. Well, I guess I'll go talk to Madison... Again." Sakura turned away and walked back to Madison and instantly, Li felt like a total jerk.
"Man... I'm such an idiot! We haven't seen each other for months and she wants to say hi. Great, now I'm and idiot and a loser." The warning bell rang shrilly, indicating Li had to get his butt moving or else he'll be late for math class.
~
(At lunch break)
"Sakura, what's wrong? You seem so down today." Madison looked at her friend while brushing back her dark hair. Sakura turned away.
"It's nothing really. It's just that... I've had this really weird feeling. As if something bad is going to happen." Sakura sighed, seeing the confusion on her friends face.
"Like..." Madison looked around to see if anyone was listening. "The Clow Cards? Or..." Madison trailed off.
"Yes and no." Sakura frowned. "Something like that except this is really nagging me. It's very annoying. And I almost blanked out on the pop quiz from this!" Sakura let out something that sounded like a frustrated growl and then slammed her fists on the table.
"Man Sakura. Really, calm down." As Madison said that, she put down her brush and turned on sink. "Did you see Li today?" Madison asked switching topics. Sakura smiled. Madison always knew when to switch topics and when to press.
"Yeah. Well, that's another part of the problem. I saw him but he brushed me off. I mean, literally. He's never done that to me before. He just kinda," Sakura paused and took a breath. "Gave me the cold shoulder. Like the old times. I think he must have gotten some of his old ways back when he went back to Hong Kong for the summer."
Sakura paused and she put her hand to her mouth. "Oh God..." Sakura ran to the stall, flung it open and just about to step inside when the vomit came out.
"Oh Sakura..."
~
Li slammed the ball into the net and his teammates cheered. It was already PE and that was his last period. "YAY! GO LI!" Li was swarmed by his teammates as others headed towards the showers. Li sighed feeling his head rush from the past memories. Sighing, Li shook his head. As he raised it, he saw the same brunette running towards him. "Hey Li!"
"Hi Sakura." Sakura tilted her head and smiled. Li grinned slightly, but it turned out lopsided. Sakura giggled. "Hey Sakura, you want to go get some ice cream after I shower?" Sakura hesitated.
"I-I don't know, Li. I mean, I'll have to ask and..." Sakura trailed off.
"You don't want to do you... Well, how about pizza? Come on! Please? For the old times sake!"
Sakura sighed and averted her gaze.
"Well..." she started. "I guess so, I just can't stay out too late, and my dad is way too protective."
"Sure," Li answered smiling.
~
Sakura sighed looking out the window. Slowly, she ate another spoonful of a hot fudge sundae. It was delicious but Sakura knew she shouldn't be eating it. How could she let Li talk her into this? Sighing, she turned back towards the dish and Li.
"Something wrong Sakura?" Li asked tilting his head the way she did earlier.
"Well, no! Nothing wrong at all!" Sakura giggled and forced a smile. It felt plenty fake to her.
Li finished his ice cream and watched as Sakura did the same. Sakura laughed suddenly and got up.
"I really gotta go. Thanks for the ice cream!"
Sakura reached for her purse and suddenly felt her knees buckle. She sat back down and leaned against the table. Soon, her even breath became short and shallow.
"Sakura! What's wrong?" Sakura couldn't speak. Instead, she reached into her bag and felt a needlepoint. *I could really use a dose of insulin just about now...* Sakura felt the metal slip from her fingers and she herself spiralled into the endless world of darkness.
~
"Sakura! Sakura!" Li shouted. A crowd began to gather and he just wanted to get up and run away.
"Li! What's wrong?" Chelsea, one of Sakura's friend rushed out, shoving against the other people.
"It's Sakura! I don't know what happened but something wrong!" Chelsea checked her pulse and began to cry.
"Call the ambulance! Somebody! Help!"
~
Li stumbled around the hospital hall and caught himself before he could fall and let the rush stamped him to death. Suddenly, a hand grabbed his shirt and lifted him clear off the ground.
"What's the fuck did you do to my sister!?"
Li stared right into the eyes of Tori.
"Huh!? I want an answer. NOW!" he screamed.
"Tori... Put him down."
Tori turned around, grumbled and set him onto his feet. Turning, he reluctantly left.
"Li..." Madison said.
"Huh?" Li asked stupidly.
"Li..." Madison's usual warm eyes had a metal tint to it as hers bore into his. Finally she said, "You don't know."
"What? Do you know what's wrong with Sakura?"
"Yes... Li, be prepared, anything can happen now. The doctor said if she falls into another one of these, she could die or something else could happen."
"What? What's wrong Madison!?"
Madison took in a deep breath and Li only noticed now her eyes were puffy and red.
"Li, she has diabetes."
~
Sakura walked through the darkness. The darkness swirled endlessly around her and she touched her head. It was burning up and she was starting to feel dizzy. Suddenly she just remembered were she saw this scene before. The dark card...
'Sakura...' a soft voice breathed.
Sakura stiffened and asked, "Who's there!?"
'Sakura... You promised...'
Sakura felt a cold trickle ripple down her spine.
"W-Who are you?"
'Sakura... You forgot me. You promised...'
Sakura felt her heart skip a beat and she began to cry tears of fear.
"Why won't you answer my question? WHO ARE YOU!?" she shouted.
'You forgot me... Don't worry, you'll see me again.'
Sakura whirled around but than sobbed. Suddenly, the world changed in a blink of an eye from darkness, to ice. She felt another trickle go down her back, and a cold hand caress her neck. Sakura stiffened and slowly turned around. *So cold...* She whirled around and sharp needles of ice spiralled toward her face. Sakura's eyes widened, and then screamed.
~
"L-Li! Sakura is... Awake."
Li stumbled into the room and gasped. Sakura was propped up by pillow and her eyes were staring at him, but there was no life in them.
"S-Sakura?"
Sakura shivered and didn't stop. Her eyes were open but gave no recognition of him.
"Sakura? What's wrong?" Li came towards her and wrapped his arms around her in a protective way.
"I'm here."
"T-The Clow." Sakura shuddered uncontrollably. "Li... It's back.... S-She's back! She wants me.... She's coming.... She's coming Li and I can't stop her!!!" Sakura fell against his chest and sobbed uncontrollably while her whole body shuddered from fear. "I'm blind Li... I'm blind..."
