Chapter 5: Syaoran's Problem  

------------------------- (Tomoyo's POV)-------------------------

I entered my house after a hard long day. I had to help my mother with some things in her industry... I finally dived in my bed. I had done homework already at the business. (So don't worry, I had plenty of time ^.~) I suddenly saw the telephone. (Should I call him?) (Nah, it's a stupid idea.) I glanced at the roof, and then back again. (Urgh... what do I do?) I stared deeply. (Okay Tomoyo, you can do this.) I slowly grabbed it. (You can do it!) Started dialing. I could feel sweat on my forehead and my hands shaking, but dropped it. A voice came from the other end. "Oh..." I sweat dropped as I tried to reach it, but stopped as I heard another voice on the other line.

"Hello, Hirakisawa speaking..." I deeply blushed as I heard his voice, snatched the telephone and hung. I threw the phone to the bed. (Sorry, Eriol) I thought looking at the ground.  (Yes, its embarrassing ^^;) I looked at the phone again. (Okay Tomoyo, this is it!) I grabbed it, and took a bottomless long breath, but sighed. (I cant do this...)  Suddenly the phone rang giving me a fright. (Is it him?) I held up my fear.  (I have to do it!)

"Hello, Daidouji sp-spea-kin-ng... " I stammered. "Tomoyo! Something terrible has happened! " I heard a sobbing Sakura from the other side. I took a long sigh of relief.  "What happened? " I regained my confidence. "Syaoran, he is in the hospital!" she answered. I gasped. "Don't worry, Ill get there as fast as I can" I quickly said. "Oh and call Eriol" she said. "E-Eriol? " I hesitated. "Yeah, what's wrong?  I think that he can help" she added I gulped. "Okay" I agreed.

We both hung up. (Now I have to call him!) I looked at the phone again, and dialed his number. "Hello, Hirakisawa speaking..." I heard his voice once more. I took another breath in. "He-Hello, Eriol. ThisisTomoyo" I said as fast as I could. "Tomoyo what's wrong" he sounded worried. (OH GREAT! Now what do I do?!) "Uh... no, you see Syaoran is in the...hospital" my words faded. "What happened?" he asked concerned. "I don't know, Sakura wants you to come, she says that maybe you know the answer" I answered. There was a gap of silence. "Okay, Ill be right there. Thanks Tomoyo" he thanked. "You are welcome. Bye" "Bye" We both hung up. (Boy, that felt good!) I thanked Sakura for making me have this conversation with Eriol, grabbed my jacket and closed the door.

------------------------- (Eriol's POV)-------------------------

I glanced at the phone for a while, after we both hung up. (I wonder why Tomoyo  called for me the first time...) I took a sigh. She was a mysterious girl, even more mysterious than myself. She has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. Yes, indeed, the most sweetest one. (What am I saying?)  I had felt her presence earlier. (Was it for the same reason?) (I'm so confused!) She dazes me every day, and I feel my heart beat faster. That same heart, but hidden deep within me. "Eriol, what's the matter?" I heard Suppi worried. I sweat dropped. "You've been staring at the phone for quite a while... " he added. I looked at him and left the phone down quickly. "Uh... nothing I was just... feeling a weird presence. "Oh" he said as he flew away. I sighed. (I better not do this again, or they will know) I thought.

(How do you do it?) (Tell me!) I said as I grabbed my chest closer.  "Ill be back soon!" I said as I closed the door. I was outside. It was pretty cold for this night. (Interesting) We where in the ends of spring and the night was bitterly cold. I felt Syaoran's aura grow dim. (Now what has he done?) I asked. My little descendant was sometimes as stubborn as a rock and as fierce as a tiger. Always ending up in trouble. (Typical) I started walking towards the hospital.

------------------------- (Sakura's POV)-------------------------

Don't worry...worry...worry... everything is going to be alright... I promise

I heard those words echoing inside my head. (Is he going to be okay?) (Or has he just lied?) I drenched in tears as I sat in a chair waiting for him. He was so injured, so delicate. As fragile as a petal's rose. It made me even wonder if he really was that strong. He couldn't open his eyes, something was wrong with them. He said that they hurt him, giving him a headache. (Why did this had to happen?) (Who was that guy?) I remembered his features. Cold and icy. There was a huge difference between Syaoran's expression and his'. Whenever I saw Syaoran at a fight, he barely showed emotion. He was stiff, rigid. When I saw the other guy's face, there was a bottomless darkness coming, but at the same time a knowledge far, even beyond Eriol's. (Was he even human?!) I buried my head in my hands, and my hands to my knees, as I sat. Time passing away.

"Sakura! " I heard Tomoyo's voice. I lifted my head. "What happened? " she asked looking at me with worry. I tried to smile, but it was useless. "Syaoran got in-in- a-a fight... he got-t hurt-t-t... he-e cant op-p-en his eyes... " I felt myself shaking from fear of losing him. Tomoyo placed her hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry Sakura, Syaoran is tough and believe me, he will fight for you! You only have to believe him. Have faith! Give him all the energy he needs" she softly said giving me a reassuring smile, none-the-less sad. I smiled. A little one, but I felt confidence. Tomoyo was one true friend. I was glad that she was there for me, whenever I needed her most.

I saw another person coming. It was Eriol. I noticed how deeply Tomoyo blushed when she saw him. "Tell me Sakura, what was that boy's name" he said. "I don't know" I answered trying to recall what had happened.  He sat down in a chair next to me and thought for a while holding his chin with his hand. An hour passed by in a flash, it was getting late. Way too late! I called my dad and told him that I would be late for home. I didn't tell him why, I lied about going to Tomoyo's house to make a school project.

A nurse passed by and told us, "Anyone can visit the patient for a short period of time. However, it has to be one at a time" she said as she sat to fill some forms. "Sakura...go!" Tomoyo pushed me out of my chair. "Okay" I whispered feeling my heart beat faster. (What happened to you, Syaoran?!) I glanced down and entered the room. It had a somber and mellow aroma. The walls were all white making it look gray when the sun was down. The window was open, noticing that the curtains were moving gracefully as the wind gently thrust them inside. And then I saw him.

Peacefully sleeping on a white-sheet bed. There were all sorts of wires hung into him. He made me worry as I saw a bandage all over his eyes, covering them. I went and sat beside him in the bed. He looked so defenseless and weak. The mighty Syaoran I always knew now seemed like a scary little boy who was lost. A tear slid down my cheek as I grabbed his hand. He didn't respond. "Oh Syaoran, why did you fight? You know that you can get hurt. Why must you be so challenging and stubborn? I always try to keep you away from danger, but you seem to run into it, to demand it. And...and-and" I stammered with my sobs. "I always want to help you my little wolf, but I cant. I'm weak and with all my heart I would die for you. But instead... " I started crying even more in my hand. I couldn't help it. I was so afraid of loosing him. And I wanted to help him... and...

"Don't cry Sakura" I heard a soft whisper. "Don't make me sad" I lifted my head from my hand to find Syaoran grabbing strongly my other. "But Syaoran..." He hushed me. "Sakura, you are not weak. Never in your life think that! I may be strong at fighting, but that doesn't prove anything. What counts its what comes from the heart. And you have the biggest and most greatest heart of all. I mean that you are open to people, always think positive, make friends with everybody and make everyone's day a happy and cheerful one. Do you think that I care for how strong, beautiful or intelligent you are?!?!" he grabbed my hand even harder and struggling sat on the bed. "Sakura, your heart is what gives mine an extra beat. I mean, you actually made friends with me no matter how hard and rough I was. And that is something special. Your love for your family, friends and everybody is enormous! And whenever I fight, I fight not only with my strength, but I fight with my heart. And that heart is full of love because of you" There was silence.

I gaped in shock at him. He was never this way. Never in his entire life! I wiped my tears with my free hand and smiled. A true 100% percent one. I was happy at how he thought of me, and how he felt. He loved me not for who I was but my inside. And I love him because of the same. "You are smiling" he said breaking the silence. "Yes" I answered as I slowly leaned my head in his shoulder. I felt really warm and peaceful when I was with Syaoran. And now even knowing that he fought for me, I still don't want to get him hurt. But at least I know that if he throws his life away for me, I will do the same. The door opened. Syaoran stirred when I left his shoulder. It was the nurse.

"I'm afraid that you must go" she said solemnly showing me the way. Syaoran grabbed my hand. "No, she has to stay" he affirmed. "But Syaoran-" I said trying to leave, but he held on. "Alright. I suppose she is some sort of family?" Syaoran grinned. "Sort of... " I blushed. "Well, the doctor has come with the news. And... " she took a long breath. She went besides Syaoran and untied his bandages. Little by little. I couldn't resist. I wanted to know what was wrong with him. (What is wrong with him?!) I grabbed evenly hard his hand. I could feel shivering.

Finally the bandages came loose.

------------------------- (Syaoran's POV)-------------------------

I suddenly felt free. My head was aching because of how tight they were. I could feel my heart beat faster. "Open your eyes" she instructed me. I slowly opened them.......................

"Hey, where did the lights go?!"
