Chapter Two: The Voice
By: Winkipinki
----------------------------------------
Sakura went home five days later, after spending weary
weeks in hospital, she's very exhausted and was pleased that she's finally
home, the only place in which she's familiar with.
"It's great to be home, isn't it, Sakura?" Touya turned
around, facing his sister, who's walking slowly behind him.
"It sure is." Sakura smiles at him, she quickly walks
toward her bedroom, searching drawers to drawers looking for Kero. Although she
knew that Tomoyo wouldn't lie to her, she thought it's best to check. Kero
isn't in the room, or in fact, anywhere in the residence. Even the photos taken
with Syaoran had seem to disappear too, "That's strange…maybe it was a dream
after all..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura went to school the next day, Fujitaka told her to
rest for a couple more days until going back, but she insisted to do it, since
she felt fresh again, but wasn't able to take her mind off Syaoran.
She walked with Tomoyo to school that day, "How do you
feel, Sakura?"
"Fine, thanks for walking to school with me." Sakura
appreciated the way Tomoyo's caring for her.
"No problem." Tomoyo said kindly.
**************************
"Hi Sakura! Welcome back!" Chiharu gave Sakura a hug.
Rika was glad she's all right, "It's good to have you
back."
"Yeah, we were so worry about you." Naoko approached
Sakura, took a good look to making sure she's healthy and better.
"We went to visit you before you gain consciousness,"
Takashi said.
"Thanks, you guys," Sakura's thankful to all of her
friends. She looked around seemed to look for someone, someone who would never
come or exist, like a dream.
At recess, the cluster of friends sat under a tree near
the soccer field, mainly talk about all the things that happened while Sakura
was still in the hospital.
"You wouldn't believe what happened last week," Chiharu
said to Sakura, "Some freshmen went to the class next door and they seemed to
like Rika!"
"No way! We are just talking, that's all." Rika refused
the statement.
"But they talk to you with sparkling eyes and often
blushed! You didn't notice because you weren't the outsider," Chiharu said
loudly.
The two argued on, until a sudden question asked by
Sakura, "Did you all see Syaoran lately?" She asked her friends even though she
perceived that she would get the same response as from Tomoyo.
"Huh? Who's he?" Naoko asked innocently.
"Sakura, do we all know that person?" Rika asked softly.
Tomoyo pointed out, "She asked me the same question that
day in the hospital too…is he related to you, Sakura?"
"Umm…" Sakura paused, she did not intend to tell them who
Syaoran really is, since they wouldn't recognize him anyhow.
"Sakura? Are you okay?" Chiharu concerned.
"I'm fine…"
**************************
After school, Sakura put on her roller skates to leave. On
her way home, she thought about all the odd things happened ever since she
regained consciousness, 'Perhaps they're right, if Syaoran existed, he would
have come over and…' as she almost lost hope about Syaoran, she heard a voice
that sounds so familiar to her, she felt warmth through the voice.
"Get over here, will ya?"
Sakura heard a voice coming from the other pavement. She
followed it and thought that it sounds like….Syaoran!
To be continued…
----------------------------------------
What do you think of this chapter? Could the voice be
Syaoran? These chapters deal a lot with emotions. Syaoran would come…probably
the next chapter or so, I haven't make the decision yet. Hope you like it!
Thanks for reading! Oh, and one more thing, I'm still considering if Meilin
should be added in this story. This chapter is kind of short, isn't it? More
will be in the next one. ^_^
